Zhan Chen came to the hall to meet Lin Wusheng, and Lin Wusheng asked as soon as he saw his face: "Zhan Chen, how is it, are you still used to living?"

Zhan Chen replied: "Habit, there is nothing more accustomed to this." ”

"Great, if only you liked it. After a pause, Lin Wusheng asked again: "Zhan Chen, do you have any exercises to take advantage of?"

Zhan Chen originally wanted to say that he already had it, but he made a temporary decision and told a small lie, saying, "I don't have any good exercises. ”

Lin Wusheng nodded, took out two jade slips and handed them to him, and said, "This is our Lin family's foundation-building technique 'Star Absorbing Duel' and attack sword technique 'Wind Thorn', I'll teach them to you now." ”

Zhan Chen was stunned for a moment and said, "How embarrassing is this? I have only been in the Lin family for a few days, and I have not made an inch, so I have received this reward." ”

Lin Wusheng waved his hand and said, "Zhan Chen, I didn't specialize in you, I said that this is the Lin family's foundation building technique, and everyone who joins the Lin family can get it." ”

"Then aren't you afraid that someone will join the Lin family just to get good exercises?" Zhan Chen couldn't help asking.

Lin Wusheng smiled and said, "Do you think that the Lin family will enter when they say it? We have to conduct a long-term assessment of everyone, Zhan Chen was lucky to save my daughter this time, and it just so happened that I also took a fancy to your qualifications, so there is such a good thing." ”

"Then I'll take it. Hearing him say this, Zhan Chen didn't hesitate, and unceremoniously put away the jade slip.

"I still have some pills for you, with the help of these pills you should be able to quickly break through the six-star crosshair realm. Lin Wusheng said, he took out hundreds of bottles of pills and handed them to Zhan Chen, saying, "Here are a hundred bottles of Star Spirit Pill for daily cultivation, and three bottles of Barrier Breaking Pill for you to break through the bottleneck." ”

"These pills are really too valuable!" Zhan Chen said again.

"What, don't you want it?"

"Yes!" Zhan Chen immediately took the pill and put it away, but he was still puzzled in his heart, and asked: "Master, the pill is very important to the monk, you can give me so much at once, it should be worth a lot of star stones here." ”

Lin Wusheng replied: "Zhan Chen, this is the case for your casual cultivation, but for our Lin family, this is a drop in the bucket, our family has an alchemist, and there is a medicine field, which can be refined in batches, but this barrier-breaking pill is more precious, it can be regarded as a meeting gift for the teacher." ”

"Thank you, master. ”

"Also, in the last two days of the end of this month, you can't cultivate, you have to go to the major shops in Cloud Swallowing City. ”

Zhan Chen thought for a while and said, "But I'm not good at collecting rent at all. ”

"It's okay, I will ask Fu Quan to take you to do this, Fu Quan is the chief housekeeper of our Lin Mansion, and he has always been in charge of this piece before, but I think he is old and wears many hats, so I want to put this part in your charge." ”

"Then I was relieved. ”

"Okay, there are still almost two weeks left until the end of the month, and you can use this time to take advantage of this time to comprehend the Star Absorbing Duel or the Wind Thorn, I believe it will be of great help to your strength. ”

"Got it, master. Then the apprentice retired first. ”

"Okay. ”

Zhan Chen withdrew from the hall, returned to his room, and came to the cultivation room in a hurry, he didn't expect Lin Wusheng to be so generous, sure enough, it was the people of the big family who made a move, these things may not be anything in his eyes, but for Zhan Chen, they are timely rain and snow.

He first took out the "Star Absorbing Decision" exercise and looked at it, because the heart method has always been the foundation of a monk's cultivation, and he was very curious about the difference between this Lin family's foundation building exercise and the "Star Cloud Decision" he had practiced before.

After some reading, Zhan Chen basically comprehended the exercise of "Star Absorbing Decision", although the Star Absorbing Decision is considered to be at the upper middle level in the foundation building exercise, it is still a grade worse than the Nebula Decision, so Zhan Chen did not find it difficult to comprehend the Star Absorbing Decision after comprehending the Nebula Decision.

Of course, the Lin family's popular exercises as the foundation will definitely not be more powerful than the exercises that Ye Tiancheng has painstakingly researched and improved.

But Zhan Chen also found a remarkable place in the Star Absorbing Duel, and a huge benefit after practicing the Star Sucking Duel is that even if he is not in a state of cultivation at ordinary times, his body will automatically absorb the star power in the air, although its absorption efficiency is only half of that of the cultivation time, but it is also considerable if it is accumulated over many years.

From this, Zhan Chen thought of the Nebula Decision he had cultivated, and even the Cloud Swallowing Storm surrounding outside Cloud Swallowing City, and suddenly a spiritual light flashed in his mind: "By the way, Cloud Swallowing Storm has the powerful power to absorb the surrounding clouds, and my Nebula Decision is built in imitation of Cloud Swallowing Storm, so when cultivating, I can increase my ability to absorb star power exponentially, if I add this characteristic of Star Absorbing Duel, wouldn't it mean that I am running the Nebula Decision all the time and improving my strength rapidly?"

This idea lingered as soon as it was generated, so Zhan Chen immediately threw himself into the vast project of researching and improving the Nebula Duel. However, at the beginning, this matter did not go well, the two exercises belonged to two systems, and it must be even more difficult to blend them together, but fortunately, Zhan Chen had the experience of fusing various exercises in the past, and more than once, so he quickly found the way.

Only a week later, Zhan Chen grafted some of the content of the Star Absorbing Decision Technique onto the Nebula Decision, and for this reason, he repeatedly calculated in his mind several times, and only after confirming that there was no problem did he start his formal cultivation.

Zhan Chen tried to run the exercises according to the new route, and quickly built a new nebula in the dantian, the new nebula does not need Zhan Chen to run the exercises to operate, it is like the cloud swallowing storm that surrounds the cloud swallowing city, it can run at high speed independently, and with its operation, a huge attraction is generated, and the star power suspended in the surrounding air is continuously absorbed and refined into Zhan Chen's body.

"I succeeded!" Zhan Chen stood up happily, this small improvement had made his Nebula Determination change a lot, although the Nebula Determination Technique had not been improved in essence, but it could really save him a lot of time.

After getting the new exercises, Zhan Chen was full of ambition and decided to quickly enter a state of retreat in order to break through the six-star quasi-star realm as soon as possible, and he took out the Star Spirit Pill given to him by Lin Wusheng, and took out a detailed one.

This Star Spirit Pill was dark green all over, exuding a strong medicinal fragrance, drilling straight into the nostrils, making Zhan Chen feel that the blood veins around his body began to beat.

"Although this Star Spirit Pill is a one-star elixir, its quality is better than other auxiliary pills I have taken in the past, and it can double the speed of cultivation within twelve hours. I don't know if the effect is so powerful. Zhan Chen thought silently, and then he put the Star Spirit Pill in his mouth, and the pill melted in his mouth, turning into pure medicinal power and flowing all over his body.

Zhan Chen instantly felt that his body's ability to absorb star power had doubled, and with the powerful technique of Xingyun Duel, he felt that his cultivation had grown as rapidly as a rocket lifted into the air.

Of course, it still can't be compared to drinking Qingling Wine and cultivating the Drunken Eight Immortal Sword, but that kind of cultivation consumes a lot of star stones, which is unsustainable, and after breaking through the five-star quasi-star realm, Zhan Chen felt that the effectiveness and help of Qingling Wine to him was decreasing.

Zhan Chen was intoxicated with his cultivation, but he soon had to pause his cultivation because he had to start working.

Early in the morning, Zhan Chen walked out of the door and came to the door of the chief housekeeper Fu Quan, waiting for Fu Quan to come out.

After a long time, the door opened, and out of it came an old man with white hair and a little hunched back, as soon as he saw Zhan Chen, he asked, "You are Zhan Chen?"

Zhan Chen replied, "Not bad." ”

"The old man is Fu Quan, the old man mentioned you to me and told me that I need to take care of you, but you also know that we are all doing things for the Lin family and taking the Lin family's money, so we must be meticulous in our work. ”

"Steward Fu, I know. ”

"Well, come with me, and I'll teach you the same. ”

So, the two left the Lin Mansion one after the other and came to the street. Although Lin Wusheng is only a branch of the Lin family, he has a lot of industry, with a whole street and more than 300 large and small shops, but only seventeen of these shops really belong to Lin Wusheng, and the rest are mostly rented to other businesses, and some of them are owned by the Lin family, which can be shared. Therefore, every month, Fu Quan gets rent from these shops, which has also become a practice.

Zhan Chen followed Fu Quan to collect rent in turn, but found that this work was not simple, he had to deal with these sophisticated bosses, and he had to learn to check the account books and find out the tricks.

Fu Quan was obviously proficient in this and dealt with it with ease, but Zhan Chen didn't understand anything, just followed and watched all the way.

After visiting several shops, Fu Quan suddenly stopped and asked Zhan Chen, "Zhan Chen, have you learned anything from what I just responded?"

Zhan Chen replied truthfully: "I didn't understand anything, after all, this is just the beginning." ”

Fu Quan nodded and said, "I finally know why the master chose you to take over my class." ”

"Why?" Zhan Chen couldn't help asking.

"Because you are a more honest and decent person, and the most important thing to do this errand is not wit and cleverness, but honesty, do you know, every shop here can collect thousands of years of high-grade star stones in a month, and how many rich benefits are contained in this? If you hand over this errand to a person with a bad heart, it is easy to profit from it. ”

Zhan Chen smiled and said, "Master really looks up to me, obviously it's only been a month since I came to the Lin family." ”

Fu Quan said with a smile: "The master is the head of the Lin family, if you don't have the ability to know people, how can you gain a foothold in the Lin family?" Zhan Chen, although the master trusts you very much, I also hope that you will always ring the alarm bell, do this errand, and the most taboo word 'greed'." ”

Zhan Chen was stunned for a moment and replied, "I'll keep it in mind." ”

"Very well, let's go to the next one. But this time, you're going to negotiate with the shopkeepers on my behalf. Fu Quan said.
