Spring passed and autumn came, and the year 1003 of the Earth's Star Calendar arrived in a blink of an eye.
The harsh winter cold has not dissipated. At midnight, even the most diligent students can no longer hold on and get into the warm bed.
However, Fang Yuan persuaded Teacher He Tianming to move out of the dormitory early.
At this time, I randomly found a small forest and prepared to check my achievements over the past year.
To change the mortal body into a spiritual body, in the words of Xianxia, is to induce "spiritual roots" from ordinary people out of thin air, which is naturally not easy.
In addition, the rules of this world are still too strict. Although the spirit concentration has been restored, it is still just a clear spring in the desert. Even Fang Yuan took more than a year to complete the entire foundation laying process.
This is thanks to the continuous increase in the spirit concentration in the past year. Otherwise, Fang Yuan estimated that it would take him at least three years to perfect the first level of Yuanling Qi Nourishing Technique.
"breathe… "
At this time, as he took a deep breath, the moonlight in the sky seemed to be dim, twisted and absorbed into the Dantian.
A stream of clear water reciprocated throughout the body, immediately causing the 99.99% behind the column of Yuanling Qi Nourishing Technique in the attribute column to increase by a little, completely turning it into perfection.
Boom!
The next moment, Fang Yuan felt his whole body shake, and a mysterious change immediately formed a circulation in his body.
The blood flow accelerates, the face turns red, and a large amount of sweat is squeezed out from the pores, carrying a little fishy impurity.
"I... can be regarded as the ancient I Ching marrow cleansing, right?"
Fang Yuan took off his coat in a few moments, not afraid of the freezing cold, and jumped directly into the small lake to wash away the dirt on his body.
After a while, he climbed ashore, dried his body, and looked at his attributes again:
"Name: Fang Yuan
Fine: 1.0
Chi: 1.0
God: 1.0
Profession:? ?
Cultivation:? ?
Skill: Yuanling Qi Nourishing Technique [First Level (Perfection)]
Specialties: Medical Skills [Level 3], Implantation Skills [Level 5], Fierce Eyes [Level 1]"
"The first level of the Yuanling Qi Nourishing Technique is complete: the body transformation is completed and transformed into a spirit-friendly physique! The sense of Qi is enhanced!"
"The spirit son's affinity physique is actually an evolver..."
Fang Yuan closed his eyes for a moment. At this moment, he could sense the spirits in the void with just one thought without the need for needle guidance. Unfortunately, there were still too few, too few, just like an oasis in the desert.
"I have developed some spiritual energy, I can use it a little, and my medical skills are mostly restored!"
He tilted his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly waved his hand.
call out!
With a flash of silver light, a row of silver needles were nailed straight to the surface of the nearby pine and cypress, penetrating three-thirds of the way into the wood.
Just this set of hidden weapon techniques that are impossible to guard against, within a few feet, is even easier to use than firearms. Other martial arts masters and so on, under the transformation state, will die as many as they come.
At this point, you have a little bit of the power to defend yourself.
When Fang Yuan saw this, he couldn't help but sneer.
When he moved out, he had experienced being watched and monitored several times. He had to endure it for several months before the supervision became more relaxed, but it has not been completely lifted yet.
At best, this is just taking care of him, just in case. After all, he is still a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, so he has to keep an eye on him.
Agreeing to move out of the dormitory is the necessary price.
"But... that's almost it!"
Fang Yuan pondered his own changes: "I have accumulated enough knowledge. If I throw something out at this time, although it is a bit eye-catching, it is not shocking and will make people doubt that the old ghost is resurrected..."
"If you don't attract attention, how can you get the attention of your superiors? How can you enter the real core research?"
Although over the past year or so, Fang Yuan has secured several projects with the help of Professor Tian, which he can start with, earn some extra money, and even occasionally use experimental equipment, but it is still ten years behind what he imagined. Eighteen thousand miles.
Before, I still had to hide my clumsiness, but now that the first level of Yuanling Qi Nourishing Technique has been completed, I have a lot less worries.
…
Sambhogakaya Temple.
After a night of practice, Fang Yuan blended into the crowd of morning exercisers, bought another cup of soy milk and some donkey meat, and went to his shop.
"Good morning, brother boss!"
At this time, the antique shop named "Wen Xin Zhai" had already opened its doors. The clerk inside was a student in his twenties. When he saw Fang Yuan, he immediately greeted Fang Yuan with his eyes lit up.
"Didn't I tell you to just call me Fang Yuan or boss..."
Fang Yuan rolled his eyes and entered the store. He was very satisfied when he saw the windows were bright and clean.
Sun Jian hired two clerks for himself, Ding Qiuyu in the morning and Zhao Lihong in the afternoon. They were both students from a nearby university and worked as part of a work-study program. Each worked for half a day and took turns on duty, which was not very tiring.
Ding Qiuyu was from the north, with the boldness and clarity unique to northern women. When she saw that Fang Yuan was younger than her, she always liked to tease him, and she got used to it over time.
"Why is the boss brother free to come to the store today?"
Ding Qiuyu held the broom and asked with a smile.
She was curious about this little boss. Not only did she specially recruit him to Xijing University, but she also bought a store in the capital. She even heard that he was just an orphan with nothing before.
This alone made her admire her very much, and touched some soft parts in her heart.
"I happened to be nearby for my morning exercise and brought you some donkey meat to burn!"
Fang Yuan smiled and put the meal on the table: "Eat first and then get busy!"
“Eat after you’re done, there’s nothing to do anyway!”
Ding Qiuyu worked quickly and couldn't stop talking: "There haven't been many customers recently, but there are a few who are interested in the Agarwood Maitreya. But when they heard the quotation, they all rolled their eyes and left. Boss, are you going to lower your price?" drop?"
She felt that the boss' brother was not very good at doing business.
Although the store is open, after a year of working hard, after deducting the costs and their wages, I'm afraid there won't be much surplus. It's better to just eat the rent.
"No, it's still the same price! Buy it or not!"
Fang Yuan took a sip of the soy milk, the rich and silky taste rolled down his throat, and said with a smile.
Of course he knew the valuation of the Maitreya Buddha. Based purely on the value of the antique, it was only twenty to thirty thousand. He bid three hundred thousand in one go, making it clear that he did not want to sell it.
This is first of all a gimmick to attract customers.
The second is to put a long line in order to catch the big fish for that trace of aura that even he can't explain.
Of course, there is no need to tell the store clerk this.
"Qiu Yu, are you busy again?"
At this time, a young man strode into the store. When he saw Ding Qiuyu, his eyes lit up: "I'm here to help you!"
"No, my boss is here!"
Ding Qiuyu was a little shy, and smiled and hit the young man: "This is my little fellow, Chen Bo! Is this your first time meeting me, boss?"
"I'm afraid it's not the first time."
Fang Yuan smiled and said hello: "It's really unexpected... the Sanda King from our university would actually come to a small shop like mine!"
This Chen Bo was surprisingly the one who stole the Five-Shaped Fist from me last time.
At this time, he was walking with strict rules and regulations. It was obvious that he had been promoted to Tongjin and was considered a little master in the capital.
"Oh, you are both from Xijing University, so you should know each other!"
Ding Qiuyu suddenly realized.
"It turns out to be a junior!"
In front of his beloved woman, Chen Bo lost all the aura he had during the fight and smiled harmlessly: "Qiu Yu and I are good friends. I have heard her mention you many times. I really appreciate your taking care of me!"
"this is nothing!"
Fang Yuan smiled, then took out a few medicine bottles and put them on the table: "Well... and for business matters, I made some Tongqiao incense here. You can light one every day and sell it on consignment. Look at the effect.”
"Tongqiaoxiang?"
Ding Qiuyu picked up a medicine bottle, uncorked it, and took a sniff: "The fragrance... is very strange!"
"This incense is specially made by me. It can refresh the mind and harmonize the qi and blood. It should have some market!"
Fang Yuan spoke calmly.
In fact, if he really needed money, a visit to Sambhogakaya Temple every day would be enough.
This shop, Agarwood Maitreya, and Tongqiao Incense are all just for fishing.
Moreover, on the surface, it feels good to be a small boss, although self-employed is not a good word at this time.
"Okay, it's time for me to go..."
Seeing the shop owner here, Chen Bo also felt that it was a bit strange to be courteous in front of others, so he left immediately.
Fang Yuan then walked out of Wenxinzhai and returned to his residence.
His current residence is a small rented courtyard, not far from Xijing University. The key is that it is large enough and has a small courtyard.
As soon as you step into the front yard, you can smell the smell of herbs, which are all things he planted casually.
The raw materials of Tongqiao incense naturally come from here.
With the ability to grow, the medicinal properties of these herbs are very good, comparable to the wild raw materials in the deep mountains and old forests. In addition, the formula is also found in ancient books. If you are a knowledgeable person, you will naturally be attracted to it.
“After more than a year of settling, it’s time to take action.”
Fang Yuan packed up, went to Xijing University, and found He Tianming.
"What? Are you going to apply for graduation?"
He Tianming looked at the student and frowned into the character "Chuan".
"Come on, sit down first!"
He asked Fang Yuan to sit down with a headache: "Why do you think you want to graduate? I am preparing to recommend you to study for a bachelor's degree and a master's degree together!"
"I have listened to and watched most of the postgraduate courses, and I am almost self-taught."
Fang Yuan put his hands on his knees and said calmly.
"But diplomas are different! Although universities allocate jobs, the treatment of undergraduates and graduate students, and the future development space, are still one day and one place..."
He Tianming persuaded him earnestly, but Fang Yuan looked like he was resigned to death, which made him shake his head helplessly: "Okay... have you decided on the direction of your graduation thesis?"
"Think about it, let's focus on ancient Chinese medicine and modern human medicine!"
Fang Yuan replied.
"Well, let me say hello to you and arrange for you to participate in the thesis defense in this class!"
He Tianming nodded, sent Fang Yuan away, sat back on the sofa, and fell into deep thought.
Half an hour later, he finally made up his mind and picked up the phone.
