Chapter 4 Awakening! The Calm Before the Storm
The unprecedented spectacle, coupled with the pouring silver rain, caused a sensation on major online platforms around the world.

"What's going on? After this silver rain, I feel like there's a warm current in my body. Could this be some kind of virus?"

"I'm the same way. What's going on? I'm so panicked!"

"Jiayi, I have the same condition, do you want to go to the hospital?"

"Under this silver rain, I feel like I've become more than ten years younger. What's going on? Is this a last gasp of glory?"

Under the popular videos on major online platforms, there are many comments saying that they feel a warm current in their bodies.

Also, the old man suddenly became younger, and everything seemed very strange.

This wave of spiritual energy revival has swept every corner of the world.

Qingya Mental Hospital, on the rooftop.

More than a hundred kidney stone patients bathed in the silver rain, their bodies emitting brilliant golden light. They sat cross-legged in the rain, absorbing spiritual energy.

"What's wrong with these people?!"

Shen Feng and Lin Yi looked at this scene with confusion and shock on their faces.

"This...this...could it be that the contents in their bodies are real golden elixirs?"

Looking at the golden light emanating from them, Lin Yi swallowed.

"What on earth is going on in this world?"

Shen Feng murmured in disbelief.

They didn't feel any warmth at all, so they probably didn't have spiritual roots.

But one could also feel an indescribable sense of oppression from those more than a hundred people.

"Damn it, why is there a warm current in my body?!"

Outside the door of Gu Changqing's room, Ye Lan, who was browsing on his phone, also felt a huge warm current in his body, which made him a little panicked, fearing that it was a virus.

"Master, are you okay? Do you feel a warm current in your body? Should we go to the hospital?" Ye Lan knocked on the door and shouted.

"Don't panic, that's not a virus. It's the spiritual root in your body that is absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cleanse your body. After that, you will be able to enter the Qi Refining Stage in one fell swoop."

After a moment, Gu Changqing's voice came from the room.

what? !

Hearing this, Ye Lan was stunned and asked in disbelief: "Is it true?"

But there was no answer from Gu Changqing.

"If that's the case, will I be able to absorb it faster if I go out and bathe in the silver rain?"

Ye Lan hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and left to go outside the building to get wet in the rain.

Sure enough, bathing in the heavy rain, the warm current in his body became more ferocious and powerful, sweeping through his limbs and bones.

Feeling the changes in himself, Ye Lan took a breath:
"Could it be that this is really spiritual energy, and the kidney stones in the young master's body are really golden elixirs?"

"It turns out that we have all wronged the young master. He is not mentally ill at all! He had expected this day to come."

Ye Lan's mood now is excited and complicated.

Daxia Longguo, virus specialist.

A grand meeting was held in the top-floor conference room of the department building, with dozens of experts gathered here.

Everyone is afraid that the virus will sweep the world.

After the meeting, they immediately invited several people who had experienced warm currents in their bodies to conduct research.

"This... this is actually a mysterious substance that is harmless and has great benefits to the human body."

"Moreover, these mysterious substances are opening up this person's eight extraordinary meridians. My God..."

"Hiss! What on earth is going on in this world?"

"Quick, report this matter."

The results of the research shocked all the experts, and they reported the matter without any delay.

When the results are reported.

The Great Xia Dragon Kingdom soon held a news conference: [Welcome to watch this Dragon Network press conference! ]

[In fact, the wonder that came into being today and the silver rain that is still falling are not harmful to us humans, but are of great benefit! ]

[After research by authoritative experts from the country's highest virus department, it was found that people who have warm currents in their bodies are not infected with any virus, but because of their special constitutions, they have been blessed by God, and a mysterious substance has appeared in their bodies. They are cleansing your bodies and opening up your eight extraordinary meridians. Soon you will become the monks in the novel.]

[With greater power comes greater responsibility. After becoming a monk, I hope you will not commit crimes. Go to the nearest police station to register your information first, and do not cause harm to ordinary people.]

[As long as you are willing to serve the country, the country will never treat you unfairly! ]

……

While the press conference was going on.

Go to Beijing!

Official meeting hall.

"This celestial event could have serious consequences. Let's talk about how to deal with it!"

Xuanyuan Tuosen was the first to speak. He was an old man with an upright posture and a majestic air without even getting angry.

"Those who are able to become monks must be controlled and made to form a monk alliance. Those who do not join this alliance must be imprisoned!"

Nangong Changfeng said in a low voice.

"It is indeed time to form a monk alliance, but we need an absolutely powerful person to take charge. Where can we find such a strong person?"

Shentu Kuangyun shook his head and said.

Tang Guo pondered and said, "I think we can do this. Issue a notice to form a monk alliance, hold a martial arts competition, and the winner will be the leader."

"That's a good idea. Let's spread the word and prepare to issue the announcement! The date will be three days from now!"

A group of leaders nodded and agreed with this decision.

During this period, in Gu Changqing's room.

At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged on the ground.

His head of gray hair swayed in the wind blowing in from the window.

His entire body was black, and filled with extremely evil and violent true energy.

Between the eyebrows, a strange pattern flashed.

At this moment, Gu Changqing was integrating the magic formulas and spells he had learned in his previous life.

To absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, one needs to use magic formulas to guide it. The true energy and true essence cultivated in this way will be more powerful. Of course, one can also absorb it through one's own spiritual roots, but the speed will be much slower.

Spells, on the other hand, are a means of attack.

Outside, the spiritual rain has stopped.

The roars of monsters resounded in the mountains and forests.

The vegetation began to grow wildly, covering the mountains and fields, and was extremely lush.

In human cities, Qi Refining cultivators appear one after another.

At the same time, the chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, etc. raised by humans also became extremely powerful after this spiritual rain and began to attack humans.

Therefore, human cities and towns were not peaceful at this time.

There are animals and livestock everywhere that attack humans.

Fortunately, there are many Qi Refining cultivators among humans.

In addition, the authorities reacted quickly and sent troops into the city, which prevented the newly transformed animals and livestock from wreaking havoc on a large scale.

Time passed very quickly, and when night fell, Gu Changqing slowly opened his eyes.

As he opened his eyes, a violent black lightning flashed in them.

He exhaled a breath of turbid air, feeling the 108 golden elixirs slowly rotating in the Danhai in his body, which brought him infinite power. A look of satisfaction appeared on his handsome face, which had a hint of evil.

Looking out the window at the peaceful city, he sighed, "In a week, I don't know how many people will die in the battle. The sixth district of Qingyun City has turned into a living hell! Add to that the monsters in the jungle..."
