Zhan Chen came to the hall to meet Lin Wusheng. Lin Wusheng asked as soon as he met him: "Zhan Chen, how are you? Are you still used to living here?"
Zhan Chen replied: "Get used to it. There is nothing more habitual than this."
"That's great, I hope you like it." After a pause, Lin Wusheng asked again: "Zhan Chen, do you have any special skills?"
Zhan Chen originally wanted to say that he already had it, but on the spur of the moment he told a little lie and said, "I don't have any good skills."
Lin Wusheng nodded, took out two jade slips and handed them to him, saying: "These are our Lin family's foundation-building technique "Star Absorbing Art" and attack sword technique "Wind Stab". I will teach them to you now."
Zhan Chen was stunned and said, "How can this be so embarrassing? I have only been in the Lin family for a few days, and I have not made any achievements yet, so I am receiving this reward."
Lin Wusheng waved his hand and said: "Zhan Chen, I didn't make it special for you. I told you that this is the Lin family's foundation-building technique, and everyone who joins the Lin family can get it."
"Then you're not afraid that someone will join the Lin family just to get good skills?" Zhan Chen couldn't help but ask.
Lin Wusheng smiled and said: "Do you think the Lin family just enters the house? We have to conduct long-term assessments for everyone. Zhan Chen, you were lucky this time and saved my daughter. I happened to watch it too.
Because of your qualifications, this is the reason for such a good thing."
"Then I'll accept it." After hearing what he said, Zhan Chen didn't hesitate and accepted the jade slip without ceremony.
"I still have some elixirs to give you. With the help of these elixirs, you should be able to quickly break through the six-star quasi-star realm." Lin Wusheng said, he took out hundreds of bottles of elixirs and handed them to Zhan Chen, saying: "
Here are one hundred bottles of Star Spirit Pill for daily practice, and three bottles of Barrier-Breaking Pill for you to break through bottlenecks."
"These pills are so valuable!" Zhan Chen said again.
"What, you don't want it?"
"Yes!" Zhan Chen immediately took the elixir and put it away, but he was still puzzled and asked: "Master, elixirs are very important to monks. If you give me so much at once, it should be worth it."
A large sum of star stones."
Lin Wusheng replied: "Zhan Chen, this is like this for you casual cultivators, but for us, the Lin family, it is just a drop in the bucket. Our family has alchemists and medicine fields, so we can refine it in batches, but this barrier-breaking pill is precious.
Some of them can be regarded as a meeting gift from my teacher."
"Thank you, master."
"Also, for the last two days at the end of this month, you can't practice. You have to go shopping in the major shops in Tunyun City."
Zhan Chen thought for a while and said, "But I'm not good at collecting rent."
"It's okay. I will ask Fu Quan to take you to do this. Fu Quan is the big housekeeper of our Lin Mansion. He has been responsible for this area before, but I think he is old and has many jobs.
I am responsible for this, so I want to hand over this responsibility to you."
"That puts me at ease."
"Well, there are still about two weeks until the end of the month. You can use this time to study the Star Absorbing Technique or the Wind Thorn. I believe it will be of great help to improve your strength."
"I understand, master. Then I'll take my leave first."
"All right."
Zhan Chen exited the hall, returned to his room, and came to the training room excitedly. He did not expect Lin Wusheng to be so generous. It was indeed unusual for someone from a big family to take action. These things may not be considered in his eyes.
What, but for Zhan Chen, it was a timely disaster.
He first took out the "Star Absorbing Technique" book and read it, because the mind method has always been the basis of monks' practice. He was very curious about the relationship between this Lin family's foundation-building technique and the "Xingyun Technique" he had practiced before.
What's the difference.
After some reading, Zhan Chen basically understood the "Star Absorbing Technique". Although the Star Absorbing Art is considered to be an upper-middle level among the foundation building techniques, it is still a level lower than the Xingyun Art, so Zhan Chen
After comprehending the Nebula Art, it is not difficult to comprehend the Star Absorbing Art again.
Of course, the Lin family's popular foundation-building techniques will definitely not be more powerful than the techniques that Ye Tiancheng painstakingly researched and improved.
But Zhan Chen also found something remarkable in the Star Absorbing Art. A huge benefit after practicing the Star Absorbing Art is that even if he is not in a state of cultivation, his body will independently absorb the star power in the air. Although it
The absorption efficiency is only half of what it was during practice, but it is still very impressive over many years.
From this, Zhan Chen thought of the Nebula Art that he had practiced, and even the Cloud-Tombing Storm surrounding Tunnyun City. Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in his mind: "By the way, the Cloud-Tombing Storm has the power to absorb the surrounding clouds."
power, and my nebula
The Jue is built to imitate the Cloud Swallowing Storm, so during practice, the ability to absorb star power can be doubled. If coupled with the characteristics of the Star Absorbing Jue, wouldn't it mean that I am running the Nebula Jue every moment?
Rapidly improve your strength?"
This idea lingered once it was born, so Zhan Chen immediately devoted himself to the vast project of researching and improving Xingyun Jue. However, this matter did not go smoothly at first. The two techniques belong to two systems. They need to be combined
It must be extremely difficult to blend them together. Fortunately, Zhan Chen had the experience of integrating various techniques in the past, more than once, so he quickly found the way.
Only a week later, Zhan Chen grafted some contents of the Star Absorbing Technique onto the Nebula Technique. For this purpose, he repeated the calculations in his mind several times. After confirming that there were no problems, he began to practice formally.
Zhan Chen tried to run the exercises according to the new route, and quickly built a new nebula in Dantian. The new nebula did not require Zhan Chen to run the exercises in order to function. It was like the one surrounding Tunyun City.
Like a cloud-swallowing storm, it can operate at high speeds on its own. As it operates, it generates a huge attraction, continuously sucking the star power suspended in the surrounding air into Zhan Chen's body for absorption and refining.
"I succeeded!" Zhan Chen stood up happily. This small improvement made his Nebula Jue a big change. Although the Nebula Jue technique has not been substantially improved, it can actually
Saved him a lot of time.
After obtaining the new technique, Zhan Chen was very confident and decided to enter seclusion quickly in order to break through the six-star quasi-star realm as soon as possible. He took out the Star Spirit Pill that Lin Wusheng had given him and took out one to examine it carefully.
This Star Spirit Pill was dark green in color and exuded a strong medicinal fragrance, which went straight into his nostrils, making Zhan Chen feel that the blood vessels all over his body began to beat.
"Although this Star Spirit Pill is a one-star pill, its quality is better than other auxiliary pills I have taken in the past. It can double the speed of cultivation within twelve hours. I don't know what its effect is.
There is no explanation that it is so powerful." Zhan Chen thought silently, and then he
Putting the Star Spirit Pill into his mouth, the pill melted in his mouth and turned into pure medicinal power that flowed throughout his body. Zhan Chen instantly felt that his body's ability to absorb star power had doubled, and with the powerful skill of Nebula Art
Fa, he felt that his cultivation level was growing as fast as a rocket taking off into the sky.
Of course, it still can't be compared with drinking Qingling Wine and practicing the Zui Eight Immortals Sword, but such training consumes a lot of star stones and is unsustainable. Moreover, after breaking through the five-star quasi-star realm, Zhan Chen felt the effectiveness of Qingling Wine on him.
and help is falling.
Zhan Chen was intoxicated with the practice, but soon he had to put it on hold because he had to start working.
Early that morning, Zhan Chen walked out of the room and came to the door of the chief steward Fu Quan, waiting for Fu Quan to come out.
After a long time, the door opened, and an old man with white beard and hair and a slight hunch came out. As soon as he saw Zhan Chen, he asked, "Are you Zhan Chen?"
Zhan Chen replied: "Not bad."
"I am Fu Quan. I mentioned you to me and asked me to take care of you. But you also know that we all work for the Lin family and receive money from the Lin family, so we must be meticulous in our work."
"Butler Fu, I understand."
"Okay, come with me and I will teach you everything."
So, the two of them left the Lin Mansion one after another and came to the street. Although Lin Wusheng was only a member of the Lin family, his property was quite large. He owned an entire street and more than 300 large and small businesses.
Shops, but only seventeen of these shops truly belong to Lin Wusheng alone. Most of the others are shops rented to other merchants, and some of them are owned by the Lin family and can receive a share. So every month Fu
It has become a common practice to collect rent from these shops.
Zhan Chen followed Fu Quan to collect rent from door to door, but found that this job was not simple. He had to deal with these sophisticated bosses, and he also had to learn to check the account books and find out the tricks in them.
Fu Quan was obviously good at this and could handle it with ease, but Zhan Chen didn't understand anything and just followed and watched.
After visiting several shops, Fu Quan suddenly stopped and asked Zhan Chen: "Zhan Chen, did you learn anything from my response just now?"
Zhan Chen answered truthfully: "I don't understand anything. After all, this is just the beginning."
Fu Quan nodded and said, "Now I finally know why the master chose you to take over my class."
"Why?" Zhan Chen couldn't help but ask.
"Because you are an honest and upright person, and the most important thing in doing this job is not wit and intelligence, but honesty. Did you know that every shop here can sell tens of thousands of high-grade stars every month?"
Shi, how many rich benefits does this contain? If this job is handed over to a person with evil intentions, it will be easy to profit from it."
Zhan Chen smiled and said, "Master really thinks highly of me. It's only been a month since I came to the Lin family."
Fu Quan smiled and said: "I am the head of the Lin family. If you don't have the ability to recognize people, how can you gain a foothold in the Lin family? Zhan Chen, although I trust you very much, I still hope that you will always sound the alarm.
When doing this job, the most taboo word is 'greed'."
Zhan Chen was stunned for a moment and replied: "I will keep it in mind."
"Very good, let's go to the next store. But this time, you will negotiate with the shopkeepers on my behalf." Fu Quan said.
