Cultivating Immortality Starts with Rubbing a Computer

Chapter 2 Shadow Attack
Zhuge Chen's eyelids twitched, and he said firmly: "No!"

He glanced at the older monks, and seeing a flicker of eagerness in their eyes, he added coldly, "You are not allowed to do that either! You are not allowed to ask for compensation or work for Fang Jun."

Zhuge Chen knew very well what the old monks were thinking over the years.

Knowing that their cultivation was hopeless, they placed their hopes on the next generation and were willing to work hard just to give them a glimmer of hope.

Fang Jun frowned slightly, his tone calm but questioning, "Boss, you should have a reason for doing this, right? Otherwise, if I get paid too much, it's bound to make people jealous, and it's against the rules."

Zhuge Chen's expression was calm, but a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes. "I didn't do this on purpose, but your mother wants you to earn more. I owe her a favor, so I can only give you some benefits."

"Haha, this is a huge 'benefit'."

Fang Jun sneered in his heart, already understanding the reason.

The "mother" Zhuge Chen mentioned was not Fang Jun's biological mother.

His biological mother died early and his father remarried. According to etiquette, his stepmother became his mother.

However, the path to becoming an immortal is like crossing a great river, and the Fang family has limited resources and cannot support two direct descendants at the same time.

Fang Jun has been ostracized since childhood. In order to protect himself, he fled to Anxi City with the servants left by his biological mother without waiting for his spiritual roots to be tested, away from the disputes in the Fang family.

"It seems that the son of that bitch has mediocre spiritual roots, otherwise why would he attack me?"

"On the surface, they pay me a high salary, but in reality, they force me to practice with elixirs, trap me in the elixir poison, and ruin my future, so that the elders can change their minds." Fang Jun thought to himself.

He didn't want to get involved in such a meaningless fight.

With his cultivation speed comparable to that of a person with dual spiritual roots, his future should have been bright.

However, being born in the Fang family, one is destined to be unable to escape this cause and effect.

If it weren't for the Fang family's background, he, a cultivator with five spiritual roots, probably wouldn't even have the chance to embark on the path of cultivation.

Of course, the most important point is that when I first came to Anxi City, I settled down with the help of Zhuge Chen and it was Zhuge Chen who provided me with the job.

Although Zhuge Chen now seems to have changed his mind and started to help his "mother", there is still a favor to be done.

If it does not affect fundamental interests, it is acceptable to maintain the status quo to some extent.

"If an enemy comes, I will fight him; if a flood comes, I will block it with earth. As long as I continue to advance triumphantly, what will the disputes of the Fang family matter?"

Fang Jun made up his mind and looked up at Zhuge Chen and said, "In that case, I want a full reward."

Zhuge Chen shook his head: "10% is too much, 70% is the limit."

Fang Jun refused to give in: "Ninety percent."

Zhuge Chen pondered for a moment: "At most 80%."

Fang Jun nodded: "Okay."

After the meeting, Old Man Li patted Fang Jun on the shoulder and said with envy: "Friend Fang, your 80% salary really makes me jealous."

Fang Jun smiled bitterly: "I would like to give you 80% of the wages."

Old Man Li's eyes lit up: "Are you really giving it to me? The blacksmith's furnace is a single room. As long as you stay in there for a long time, who will know what you are doing?"

Fang Jun shook his head: "Your calculations are good, but don't forget, if the blacksmith's furnace is kept open for too long, the shopkeeper will notice."

Old man Li chuckled and said, "That's easy. I'll find a few old brothers to take turns helping you. We can all make money and it won't exceed the deadline."

Fang Jun still refused: "That's not right. The shopkeeper might have a backup plan. Besides, this matter involves the Fang family, so you should stay out of it."

Old Man Li disagreed: "The Fang family is just a small family that can only bully others in a small place. In Anxi City, they are nothing."

Fang Jun said seriously, "Even so, the risk still exists."

Old Man Li sneered, "There are always risks on the road to becoming an immortal. If you make a mistake one day, you might end up dead instantly."

"The little risk you take is far less than the money you can earn."

"That's the problem. If I give it to you, won't I make less money?" Fang Jun thought to himself, and insisted on the surface: "No need. This is my business after all. I can't implicate my fellow Taoist." Seeing that his persuasion was futile, Old Man Li stopped talking and went to work after chatting for a few words.

……

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

In the fiery red room, Fang Jun was shirtless, with sweat dripping down his back.

He held a sledgehammer in his hand and struck it rhythmically at the blacksmith's table. The sound of the hammer rose and fell like a musical score.

This was Fang Jun's job at the blacksmith shop. Unlike ordinary blacksmiths, cultivators' blacksmithing was to forge ordinary iron into spiritual materials.

Its core theory originates from the "world structure theory".

The world before time travel, whether ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, has its own theory of world structure, that is, what this world is composed of.

The world of immortal cultivation is no exception.

The world of immortal cultivation believes that the world originated from chaos, chaos differentiated into clear and turbid spiritual energy, and the clear and turbid spiritual energy gave rise to essence, energy and spirit, which ultimately constituted all things.

This theory is not a mathematical model like superstring theory, nor is it a philosophical model like the theory of the five elements in previous lives.

Instead, it is a physical model that has been verified by monks of all generations and can truly guide cultivation and production.

Why can ordinary steel be upgraded to spiritual material? It is because steel also has spirit.

The monks use special techniques to inject spiritual energy into steel to help it "cultivate immortality" and thus transform it into spiritual material.

Simply put, think of steel as a mortal, but this mortal has no spiritual roots, cannot sense spiritual energy, and cannot become an immortal.

But the monk can help Steel to attract spiritual energy, and then help Steel to cultivate immortality and become a monk.

The cultivation method of immortality involves essence, energy and spirit. If steel has no essence, energy and spirit, how can it use the cultivation method of immortality?
Therefore, this proves that steel may have spirit.

As someone who is proficient in mathematical tools and good at optimizing the five elements problems, Fang Jun is very familiar with this forging technique.

What's more, Steel is not a human being, so there is no need to worry about the changes in the "God" caused by "passive cultivation of immortality", which may cause various problems such as idiocy, madness, and loss of mind.

Therefore, the double workload Zhuge Chen gave him was just a piece of cake for him.

The reason why he hides his weakness is because there is no need to reveal his strength.

There's no benefit in exposing yourself, so do you still expect your boss to give you a raise?
I like to roll, I roll until I have no food to eat.

Don’t you see that even though the production has increased by 50%, Zhuge Chen and the Dahe faction behind him are reluctant to increase the wages by 50%.

What’s more, the people in the world of immortal cultivation are all treacherous, and if you are not careful, you will be doomed.

"Om-!"

Suddenly, a warning sounded in Fang Jun's sea of ​​consciousness.

He frowned, quickly stopped what he was doing, and turned his sharp eyes to the place where the warning spell was triggered.

A dark shadow quietly emerged from the corner of the house. It was humanoid, completely black, with only a pair of blood-red pupils staring intently at Fang Jun.

The moment Fang Jun discovered it, the black shadow turned into a black light without hesitation and pounced towards him!

The author believes that no matter which world the intelligent creatures are in, they will consider what the world is made of.

And use this theory to guide production and practice.

The ancient Chinese Yin-Yang theory, the Five Elements theory and Lao Tzu's Taoism theory were all established based on this.

Don’t worry about whether it is right or not.

These theories are certainly applicable within a certain range. They may not be the essence of the theory, but they are definitely better than having no idea at all.

Just like the equation of universal gravitation and the gravitational field equation, the latter encompasses the former, but the former is also applicable in macroscopic and low-speed fields.
