My Side Job is a Trader

While accompanying Li Xueer, Zhang Xin was thinking about a problem that he ignored, that is, since there is a specific method of cultivation, since ancient times, among so many people, there must be someone who can cultivate to the point of breaking through the profound entrance.

In a sense, such a person has already broken away from the category of mortals. Even if he cannot live forever, at least it should not be a big problem to live for hundreds or thousands of years. There are no such rumors anymore, and the last practitioner who is suspected of becoming an immortal is the famous real Zhang Sanfeng.

After all, there are records in some ancient books that someone once met a Taoist priest who claimed to be a sloppy Taoist a hundred years after Zhang Sanfeng's death. This is the only rumor about Zhang Sanfeng. The move to build a palace on the mountain.

Zhang Xin can be said to be on the road of longevity. Even if he does not practice in his current state, he can live for at least a hundred years, which is considered a kind of longevity in the eyes of ordinary people.

However, Zhang Xin will naturally not give up cultivation, and he is still trying to study the true meaning of life through modern scientific and technological means. At least he has achieved some results now. It is an improvement after all.

After staying in the mountains for a few days, the two little guys have finally passed the novelty. Fortunately, they are more sensible than ordinary children. They know that they are accompanying their mother to film a movie, so they are not noisy, and sometimes they have nothing to do with each other. Dad stood by the crew and watched Mom filming.

On this day, the crew finally finished all the shooting tasks in the mountains, and Zhang Xin accompanied Li Xueer back to Chang'an Film and Television City.

After all, Chang'an is considered a big city, and the conditions are much better than those in the Southwest Mountains. Zhang Xin felt relieved, so he stayed in Chang'an for a few days, and after visiting all the major tourist attractions with Bao Bao, he took Bao Bao with him. Go back to the Shanghai stock market first.

As a result, as soon as he came back, he received a bad news.

Yuan Shujun told him that extracting vitality might not be cost-effective.

Zhang Xin hurried to the laboratory, first checked the research progress of various research topics, and then came to the office with Yuan Shujun to discuss in detail.

Yuan Shujun told Zhang Xin directly that if he wanted to obtain enough vitality, he would need a lot of raw materials. Extracting vitality from the animal body would cause irreversible damage to the animal itself, so Zhang Xin directly vetoed this method After all, the life of an animal is also its life. It's not that Zhang Xin is afraid of opposition from animal protectionism, but that if he does this, Zhang Xin may bear most of the karma.

This thing sounds quite mysterious, and ordinary people must think it is just a superstition in religion, but Zhang Xin, as a practitioner, naturally knows much more than ordinary people.

Karma is not groundless, but something that really exists, such as the gray mist in the sea of ​​consciousness. Bad luck will be added to the body, and people will even lose their awe because of this, do some harmful things, and finally embark on the road of self-destruction.

As for practitioners like Zhang Xin, they are more afraid of karma than ordinary people. After all, this thing is too sticky, which will reduce the efficiency of practice, and even lead to ineffective practice in the end.

Compared with the Great Dao of Longevity, no matter how much money is, it is something outside the body, so Zhang Xin will naturally not do such a thing that puts the cart before the horse.

Although the laboratory used the lives of a few animals to extract vitality before, Zhang Xin can ignore this little karma. It is acceptable to spend a few days of practice in vain, but if a large number of lives die due to the extraction of vitality, The karma created by Zhang Xin is beyond imagination.

So Zhang Xin asked Yuan Shujun's team to study how to extract vitality from plants. After all, compared with animals, plants' vitality is much more tenacious. As long as the roots remain active, plants will grow one day.

Yuan Shujun has been leading the team to study how to extract vitality from plants, and they found that although plants can also be extracted, the efficiency is too low, and according to estimates, if you want to obtain the amount of vitality that can prolong your life for three years, Originally, it was necessary to sacrifice the lives of ten animals, but now it may require tens of tons of plants. If this goes on, it is doomed that this kind of product that can prolong life can only be produced on a small scale, which means that ordinary people cannot enjoy it. The dividends of this scientific discovery.

Zhang Xin couldn't help being a little disappointed. At his position, he no longer paid much attention to money gains in what he did, and he wanted to do things that could gain great merit.

Putting aside his disappointment, Zhang Xin ordered Yuan Shujun to continue extracting vitality from plants. Since only a small amount of production can only be made, these products will eventually be sold to those who are not short of money. Those people Zhang Xin still understands their mentality very well. If you can prolong your life by three to five years, you are willing to pay no matter how high the price is.

In order to ensure the appearance of the product, Zhang Xin specially confessed to the scientific research team in charge of commercialization, asking them to find a way to research edible materials that can preserve vitality for a long time and can be digested by the human body, and then make vitality into the shape of a elixir , which contains a sufficient amount of vitality.

Moreover, due to the characteristics of vitality, as long as it is exposed to the air, it will evaporate quickly, so Zhang Xin is not afraid of someone deliberately buying it back for reverse research.

Just when Zhang Xin was about to leave, a female researcher whispered: "Why do you have to make a dose that can prolong life? It can be diluted and used to make cosmetics. Doesn't it mean that this stuff can keep people young?" ? This is much better than cosmetics like the little black bottle."

Zhang Xin's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he felt that this approach was feasible, so he called the female researcher and Yuan Shujun.

"Say what you just said again."

The female researcher looked at Yuan Shujun and Zhang Xin, and Yuan Shujun said, "If you tell me what to say, just say it, what do you want me to do?"

The female researcher repeated what she had just said.

Zhang Xin asked: "Professor, if I don't need the life-extending function, but only need to maintain or delay skin aging, how much energy do I need?"

Yuan Shujun thought for a while and said, "If you only need to maintain the vitality of your skin and don't need much vitality, maybe you can dilute a portion of vitality that is equivalent to extending life for three years by dozens of portions. I haven't tested it yet."

Zhang Xin said: "Okay, then we will make another product that produces high-end cosmetics. I also want to show those companies that make cosmetics what is the real product that can keep people young."

Yuan Shujun was also speechless about Zhang Xin's unconstrained ideas. Obviously, it could have a greater effect, but to use the precious energy as cosmetics is simply a waste of money.

But who made Zhang Xin the boss, as long as he was happy, anyway, as long as Zhang Xin gave enough research funds, as for what Zhang Xin wanted to do with the research results, it was not their scientist's concern.
