Shenyin Shanhaijing

So, Cui Ying decided to distribute the points. Among the researchers under her command, only the Lu family can obtain family points, while outsiders like Zhang Lin cannot have points and need to convert the points into immortal stones or spiritual stones.

Zhang Lin got the immortal stone equivalent to 300 points, which is 3000 immortal stones, equivalent to 30 spiritual stones. When converted into cash, it is 3 million yuan. For him, this is a huge sum of money, and a lifetime of hard work will be worth it. return. Moreover, as a staff member of the Monster Research Institute, he could purchase various elixirs. He wanted to buy a Guiling paste for his granddaughter.

As the leader of the research team, Cui Ying received 5000 points and her ranking improved significantly, suddenly jumping from 18524th to 6319th.

This ranking is not easy!

At this time, the population of the Lu family exceeded ten million, and there were hundreds of thousands of immortals living outside the world of Datong! Cui Ying's ranking surpasses ordinary Xuanxian, and is comparable to Jinxian and Daluo Jinxian! And she is just a little Buxu Zhenjun!

Although she had so many points, she did not get carried away.

She used the points to buy some elixirs and restorative tea, and also exchanged them for two drops of the essence of mountains and rivers.

The essence of mountains and rivers is the essence condensed from the earth's veins. As long as one drop is diluted with water and drank slowly, the skill can be greatly improved, which is equivalent to the hard work of ordinary monks for two to three hundred years.

According to the City Lord's Mansion, during the entire Buxu period, each person can only take up to three drops of the essence of mountains and rivers. For some S-level monks, it can increase their skill for a thousand years, while for those with C-level qualifications, it can only increase Four to five hundred years of skill. People whose skill is lower than the Buxu stage, whether they are Jindan Zhenren or Yuanying Zhenjun, cannot take the essence of mountains and rivers. If you take it reluctantly, it will have a severe impact on the body and cause the five debilitating effects of heaven and man.

There is no yin or yang in the essence of mountains and rivers. No matter what kind of technique you practice, you can absorb the vast spiritual power contained in it.

Cui Ying diluted these two drops of the essence of mountains and rivers and gave half of it to Lu Chenjun. In this way, the two people's cultivation can go hand in hand.

Lu Chenjun swallowed a little of the essence of mountains and rivers, practiced for a night, and found that his skills had increased significantly. He couldn't help but sigh: "It's really a good thing! No wonder it's so expensive. A drop of essence of mountains and rivers costs 100 points. Ordinary people. Who can afford it? If a university professor has no special contribution, in addition to his salary, he will get two points every year. He also needs to buy elixirs, exercises, and rent a cultivation cave. He doesn’t know how many years of accumulation he will have to save to get one. Hundred points.”

Cui Ying smiled and said: "You are talking about those professors who do nothing, usually just attend classes and make little progress in research. In fact, as long as there are research results, you will get additional rewards. The City Lord's Mansion has a special policy for outstanding talents. The rewards are huge.”

She was originally the legitimate daughter of the Cui family in Qinghe. She originally thought that the huge Cui family was unique in the education and management of future generations. However, after arriving in Langya City, she realized that the Cui family is just a secular family and cannot be compared with a family that cultivates immortals. The Lu family has a strict management system, and all data has been entered into the computer. Every family member can receive corresponding rewards for their contribution.

The so-called contribution requires comprehensive evaluation by experts.

For example, the seven hand-drawn graphics of "The Transformation of Yin and Yang in Mingchuan" received comments from many ancestors, who believed that she had made outstanding contributions in order to receive the enviable reward.

In addition, the Lu family is also very strict in protecting outstanding talents. Cui Ying won a heavy award, but this matter was not announced. If she didn't tell it, others would not know. Because of her own lack of skill, if the news leaks out, she may be abducted by other immortal cultivating families.

Some people may ask: "Isn't this the peaceful and peaceful world of Datong? Why are there still hostile forces?"

In fact, even in the world of Datong, there are still many sects and cultivation families. Those families do not dare to provoke the Lu family, but some people deliberately try to steal the skills and research results. Occasionally, descendants of the Lu family are abducted. Although it is said that they will be severely retaliated after the incident, there are also cases where the Lu family's children have their souls searched and even tortured to death.

The Lu family can find the perpetrator, but it is difficult to follow the clues and find the forces behind it. Because the other party also knows how to hide his identity and cut off the connection with his family.

Just like when the Lu family sent Lu Xuanku to break into the Shaolin sect, later generations of immortal cultivating families often sent out a large number of spies, and even paid huge sums of money to win over the Lu family's side disciples, making it difficult for people to guard against them.

The Lu family has a big business and has collected a lot of skills. Although they are not afraid of others stealing the skills, they are also afraid of others harming their "fairy seedlings".

For this reason, talents with outstanding contributions like Cui Ying have not been publicly rewarded. Even among the internal members of the Monster Research Institute, except for the people in Cui Ying's research team, no one knows how far her scientific research has progressed or that she has made a major breakthrough. An old expert like Zhang Lin, who had suffered all his life, suddenly received a huge reward of 3000 immortal stones. No matter how happy he was, he would not dare to spread the word. Because he is a mortal and has no ability to resist, just like a baby holding a gold brick, how dare he show off his financial strength?

Zhang Lin purchased a batch of life-prolonging elixirs, and then converted the remaining immortal stones into cash and stored them on the card.

His wife has passed away, and his two sons are not close to him. Only his granddaughter Zhang Youyou often calls to check on his health.

During the Spring Festival this year, he went to Zhang Youyou's home with a lot of gifts.

Zhang Youyou is 280 years old and has her own children, a son and a daughter, as well as grandchildren and granddaughters.

As mentioned before, because the world of Datong is rich in fairy spiritual veins, and after human beings have gone through a series of impacts and selections such as ten days of sky-high sky, hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix, and flooding, the remaining ones basically have spiritual roots. The only difference lies in the quality of the spiritual roots. As long as they want to practice, everyone can practice.

But cultivating immortality is a difficult road. Most people stop at the Qi refining, foundation building and golden elixir stages due to various reasons.

Zhang Youyou's skill is stagnant at the sixth level of foundation building.

Her husband, Jiang Zhu, is a member of a small immortal cultivating family and became a Jindan master thirty years ago.

Most of their children and grandchildren have C-level and D-level qualifications, but there are also children with slightly better qualifications, such as the eldest grandson Jiang Bin, who has B-level qualifications and completed foundation building at the age of 32.

The gifts Zhang Lin brought were very ordinary and did not attract the children's attention. But in private, he secretly gave Zhang Youyou a portion of "Guiling Ointment". In addition, there were two fist-sized glass bottles, each containing a golden elixir.

"Put the bottle away. I've asked. As long as you don't open the cap and put it in a dry and cool place, the medicine can maintain its effectiveness for 300 years."

Zhang Youyou was very surprised: "Dad, these things are valuable. You work so hard, so you don't have to be frugal to give me such an expensive gift."

Zhang Lin said: "Just keep it. My job is quite hard, but the salary given by the Lu family is very generous. I can't spend that much on my own." Then he took out his mobile phone and transferred 20 million yuan.

Zhang Youyou couldn't help being shocked when she saw the amount of cash: "Dad! This is the capital you have accumulated all your life? Why did you transfer it to me? Didn't your life expectancy be extended? Why not keep it for yourself! Find a nanny to take care of you, or get married again It’s not a bad idea to be a woman!”

Zhang Lin waved his hand: "I have a new opportunity. I can't tell you the details. Just know it yourself. Don't publicize it to the outside world, and don't tell Jiang Zhu and the children too much."

"Is it because it involves Lu family secrets?"

"Yeah. Talking too much can get you into trouble."

"I know, Dad. Take care of yourself."
