The next day, Zhang Ji from Black Tiger Spring Comprehensive Service Company came to Qingquan Villa.
He brought Lu Cheng the registration documents of the "Spiritual Bone Research Institute" and a bunch of management personnel information.
Lu Cheng spent two days meeting with several senior talents and finally selected one. This person's name was "Liu Qingli", a 39-year-old female, a master's degree in dentistry, an MBA, and more than ten years of work experience.
He is the vice president of a private dental hospital and manages two to three hundred medical staff.
Lu Cheng told her the purpose of establishing the "Spiritual Bone Research Institute" and showed her several crystal bones. These bones came from elephants and were cut into small pieces by Lu Cheng with a gold dagger. It was impossible to see the original
form.
Liu Qingli was very surprised and asked: "Mr. Lu, what are spiritual bones?"
Lu Cheng said: "You don't need to ask much about the origin of spiritual bones. It is a strange bone. You can think of it as an artificial bone material. I have a hunch that if this kind of bone is polished into the shape of a tooth, it can be directly planted.
On the gums, it is much more convenient than the commonly used steel needles in modern times to add crowns."
Liu Qingli said: "When you set up a research institute, do you want to start research from scratch? Do animal experiments first, and then promote it to humans? Do you also want to hire dentists and set up a dental clinic? Or, after the research is successful, sell the products directly, that is,
Polished bones and teeth?"
"The goal of the institute is to do research. I haven't thought about whether to set up a dental clinic. If you have the ability to do that, you can also set up multiple dental clinics across the country, with you as the general manager!
”
"If we set up a chain of dental clinics, it will cost a lot of money, and 1 billion may not be enough."
"I can add additional funds if necessary."
Lu Cheng handed her the relevant documents and seals and left her alone.
He just had an idea and wanted to benefit the people, so he spent a sum of money to hire people to study it. As for whether it could be done, he didn't care too much.
Doing scientific research is to test ideas, and whether it will succeed is uncertain.
How many masters and doctoral degrees are graduated in China every year? How many of those research projects are real? 30-40% would be good! Most of the rest are fake, fishing in troubled waters, falsified results, and academic corruption!
That afternoon, Lu Cheng received the "Shangqing Great Cave Scripture" from Yang Feiqiong.
This scripture has a total of six volumes, all of which are written in ancient Chinese. Many of the contents are confusing and unclear.
He read it carefully, and finally sighed: "It's too complicated! If you are not a professional Taoist priest, have a master to guide you, or have an enlightenment, this thing is not easy to practice. Anyway, I still practice witchcraft honestly. After all, I
There are masters in other worlds, and there are many great witches in the witch temple. If you have any doubts, you can use jade coins to ask for advice."
That night, in the middle of the night, he was lying on the white jade bed, his mind wandering, heading to a different world.
When I woke up, I opened my eyes and saw that it was completely dark. It was also night here.
Qingmei was still lying on the other end of the big wooden bed, curled up into a ball, occupying only a small space.
As soon as Lu Cheng moved, Qingmei woke up.
Qingmei has reached the third level of innateness, and she doesn't sleep much on weekdays. However, the nights are long and there is nothing to do if the lamp is not lit in the house, so she lies on the wooden bed, half asleep and half awake, practicing the mental skills of the fox clan.
"Brother, are you awake?"
"Well, what day is today?"
"The third day after Qingming Festival."
Lu Cheng thought to himself: "Time flies so fast. When I left last time, there was still one day before the vernal equinox. It has been 40 days."
He closed his eyes and scanned the marrow sea with his consciousness to find Wu Kuang hiding in the dark. With a flash of cold light from his sword, he read the other person's memory and understood what had happened in the past few days.
He suddenly discovered that this kid Wu Kuang secretly practiced the "Giant Spirit Art" while he was away!
"Damn it!"
Lu Cheng was angry in his heart, but he couldn't erase it. If Wu Kuang's soul was erased, then when he left, he would leave behind a muddled body.
He wanted to split his consciousness and leave part of it in this physical body, but he couldn't do this.
Wu Kuang's soul seemed to be frightened, and his head bowed deeply.
Lu Cheng sat on the wooden bed, breathing heavily.
Qingmei also sat up and asked: "Brother, what's wrong with you? Do you want to hug me?"
"Humph! Stop talking nonsense! Go and light the lamp!"
The oil lamp turned on, and it shone on Qingmei's face, revealing a bit of shyness. I don't know if it was a pretense or real.
Lu Cheng stood up, placed the oil lamp on the table, gathered his thoughts, and drew a few talismans.
Qingmei sat beside him, helping him spread out the talisman paper and prepare the animal blood.
"Here, I'll teach you 10 more runes."
"Okay, brother, you haven't taught me for a few days."
After teaching the runes, the sky outside has turned white.
After breakfast, another shout of death came from the distance.
Lu Cheng walked to the city wall and saw that after forty days of fighting, the warriors guarding the city were not that energetic. Their armors were torn and stained with blood, and they looked like they were worn out by the world.
The siege by monster beasts is not just about attacking the city wall. The height of the city wall is limited. Some monster beasts can jump into the city with a strong jump. In addition, some monster birds can launch attacks from the air. Therefore, a little witch like Lu Cheng can
Even if you don't go up the city wall, there may still be damage.
Wu Qi and Wu Liu were both slightly injured, and Wu Ming was seriously injured. Fortunately, Wu Luo activated the life-saving talisman and brought him back from the brink of death.
"Wu Kuang"'s skill is not weak, so he was not injured.
The shouts of killing Zhentian from the top of the city were mixed with the roars of monsters and beasts.
Wild tigers, demon wolves, leopards, and wild elephants kept attacking the city wall.
From time to time, some of the warriors guarding the city were injured, fell from the city, or were carried down.
Lu Cheng followed the three senior sisters and his master Wu Luo to use talismans to treat the injured.
After being busy for a long time, he took the time to ask Wu Luo: "Master, I saw a demon deer jumped in just now. Isn't the deer a herbivore? Why are you still cooperating with the tiger and leopard to attack the city?"
Wu Luo said: "The beast tribe is organized. Whether they eat grass or meat, they all have to participate in the siege. If you climb to the top of the city, you can see that there is a big demon in human form in the distance, commanding and supervising the formation from behind.
."
"Ah, can monsters take the form of humans?"
"Of course, you can. Isn't there a fox girl in your house? The transformation of monsters depends on their race. The ape is the easiest, only three armors are needed; the fox tribe is more special and needs three hundred years; the bear tribe needs a thousand years, and the wolf tribe needs
Two thousand years, the Tiger clan needs three thousand years..."
"Master, why do the tiger tribe take shape late?"
"Dragon, tiger, turtle, and phoenix are all sacred beasts. If you practice to the extreme, you can fly to the sky. The other monsters have difficulty ascending and cannot escape life and death."
"Is it difficult for the Fox clan to ascend?"
"The fox tribe can easily transform, but will encounter more disasters. Unless the man she follows is blessed by the witch god, he may have a chance of immortality."
Lu Cheng thought to himself: "Am I a man blessed by the witch god? If so, how could I be buried as a sacrifice?"
After a day of fighting, when the beasts retreated in the evening, the warriors jumped off the city wall and picked up the bodies of the beasts outside.
Wu Luo and her five disciples got together and got a huge demon deer. This demon deer was not completely dead yet. It stared at everyone with two eyes and looked at everyone pitifully.
Wu Luo first chopped off a deer leg and collected the deer's blood in a clay pot. Then she chopped off the deer's head and continued to collect the deer's blood.
The red deer, which is more than three feet tall, has more than a dozen jars of blood.
Lu Cheng was given a large jar of deer blood and a thousand kilograms of deer meat.
Wu Luo said to everyone: "Deer blood is a good thing. It can be used to draw talismans and practice. Especially this kind of demon deer that has been growing for three hundred years. Its blood is rich in spiritual energy, yin and yang are peaceful, and it is full of vitality.
, but rare spiritual blood."
In the evening, Lu Cheng roasted a piece of venison and gave half of it to Qingmei.
He chewed the venison slowly and felt that the spiritual energy contained in this demonic deer was dozens of times that of ordinary deer! It was very suitable for innate warriors to use as a tonic.
He took out 5 more "Dragon and Tiger Pills" and said, "Give these pills to Li Ju and ask her for help to buy some deer blood. In addition, you can also buy some low-level pills." The low-level elixir was prepared for Xianshentang, and he was too lazy to spend time refining it himself.
Liju is a spirit warrior. Although he is from the fox tribe, he also participated in the battle to defend the city this time and was able to get a lot of monster flesh and blood. In addition, some warriors don't like deer blood because it is too peaceful and would rather exchange it for something else.
of animal blood.
Three days later, Lu Cheng was helping his senior sister Wu Qi to treat the injured. Suddenly, a huge five-foot-long demon wolf fell from the sky! It opened its bloody mouth and bit Wu Qi.
Wu Qi was caught off guard and fell into the mouth of the demon wolf.
Lu Cheng was surprised, and he flew up with his sword in a hurry, stabbing it into the wolf's mouth first!
Wu Qi turned pale and jumped away.
Although she is a little witch like Lu Cheng, she is only born at the first level. She only practices witchcraft and not martial arts, so her reactions are slow and her ability to fight at close quarters is very weak. She can only rely on activating the golden gun talisman and the white blade talisman.
Defend the enemy.
Lu Cheng was very powerful, but his sword was blocked by a row of wolf fangs.
The demon wolf let out a scream, as if it knew that Lu Cheng was a powerful enemy, so it turned around and walked away, changing the direction of its attack.
At this time, more than a dozen warriors surrounded the demon wolf, and some stood not far away with their bows and arrows ready.
This demonic wolf is very unusual. It comes and goes like crazy, rushing left and right, biting several innate warriors in succession.
Even if a bow and arrow falls on its body, it can only pierce its skin but not its internal organs.
Just as Lu Cheng was about to take action again, he suddenly saw the spirit warrior Jing Pan coming!
Jing Pan held a large black iron gun, spit out a long white light, and stabbed the demon wolf continuously. He shot seven times in a row before stabbing the demon wolf to death.
Lu Cheng looked at it and was very surprised, thinking: "Is this the spiritual warrior? The inner energy is released and turns into a spear tip that is about ten feet long. It is very lethal!"
He pondered for a long time and did not ask Wu Luo. Instead, he found an excuse and left to go to the Wu Luo Temple.
There are wizards in the Witch Temple who specialize in answering questions. As long as there are jade coins, there will be answers.
Lu Cheng met an old shaman dressed in black and said, "Sir, how can I release my inner energy and turn it into a spear like a spiritual sorcerer?"
The old witch narrowed his eyes and looked at him, humming softly: "You are in the wrong place. You should go to Jiuwu Hall to ask. This is not what we wizards should do."
Lu Cheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Excuse me, sir, besides talismans, what other methods do wizards have to resist monsters?"
"As a little witch, if you see a monster, just run away. When you reach the realm of a spiritual witch, you can draw talismans out of thin air and bind the monster with talismans or spells."
"Excuse me, sir, can I use the Great Witch God Fist to deal with monsters?"
"The Great Witch God Fist can only help you stimulate menstruation and blood circulation, strengthen your body, and move quickly. It can deal with simple and low-level monsters, but it is difficult to deal with the ferocious big monsters."
"As a wizard, when faced with danger, do you have no choice but to run away?"
"Aren't there still talismans?"
"The talisman activates too slowly."
"The more you practice, the faster you will speed up."
Lu Cheng saw that his inquiries yielded no results, so he left the Shaman Temple and headed to the Jiuwu Hall.
Arriving at the door of Jiuwu Hall, he put away the "Xiao Wu Bronze Medal".
Jiuwu Hall is similar to the Shaman Temple, and there is also a place to answer questions.
Lu Cheng saw a tall, bald old spiritual warrior and asked him a question.
The old spirit warrior smiled and said: "Only when you cross the threshold of the spirit warrior can you mobilize the spiritual energy stored in the vertebrae. There is a word called 'phoenix spitting dragon and flying'."
Lu Cheng thought: "Isn't it 'Feng Zhu Long Xiang'?"
The old spirit warrior said: "Did you know? The innate warrior is also called the 'dove warrior'; the spiritual warrior is also called the 'phoenix warrior', and the heavenly warrior is also called the 'dragon warrior'. The phoenix spit means that like a phoenix, it will be hidden in the body.
The spiritual energy in the vertebrae is spit out; dragon flying means flying in the sky like a blue dragon."
"You mean, Tianwu masters can fly in the sky?"
"Spirit warriors can also take to the air for a short time, and sky warriors can fly freely in the sky like birds."
"Excuse me, old gentleman, does Feng Tu have any special exercises?"
"When you become a spiritual warrior, you will naturally be able to release your spiritual energy and turn into a spiritual soldier, flying flowers and picking leaves, and hurting people from a distance."
Lu Cheng understood, so he stopped by the library and picked out two sets of exercises to write down. These two sets of exercises were the "Mountain Knife" and the "Wind Chasing Sword". These low-level exercises were given to others.
In preparation, he also practiced a little, but it was not a major. What he majored in was the "Seven Forms of Black Birds" from "Illustrated Records of Stone Tombs".
When he returned home, he saw several jars of deer blood in the house.
Qingmei said: "Brother, the blood in these jars is not fresh deer blood, but deer blood that has been crystallized after being left for many years. Li Ju said that this kind of crystallized deer blood is more mellow and more suitable for replenishing the body. Get some and put it in the wine.
The middle one is deer blood wine."
Lu Cheng nodded: "Very good, thank you for your hard work."
"Brother, I also bought some low-level elixirs. Because of the monster siege, the prices of mid- and high-level elixirs have increased. But the prices of low-level elixirs have dropped."
"Why did it drop?"
"Those who go to the city to fight are all above the eighth level of martial arts. Those below the seventh level of martial arts can only guard their homes. The effect of swallowing the flesh and blood of monsters is no less than swallowing pills. With free monster meat, the demand for pills has naturally dropped.
”
"Okay, I understand." Lu Cheng put away the deer blood crystals and elixirs.
He didn't stay in the other world for long. That night, he lay on the wooden bed, rubbed his jade ring, and returned to modern times with his mind wandering.
