In the 6205th year of the Xia calendar,

Lu Xuan of Yingzhou stood on the rooftop of a building, looking at the laboratory a few kilometers away. At this time, the laboratory had already caught fire, and there were firefighters all around to put out the fire. Even though there were many immortal cultivators who practiced water magic among the firefighters, it was still difficult to stop such a fire, because Lu Xuan added a lot of materials in the laboratory.

It was Lu Xuan who destroyed the laboratory. Before the destruction, he personally killed everyone in the laboratory, including his trusted researcher who had followed him for many years.

He even got a substitute in himself, so that even the most rigorous investigation would think that he died in there.

The reason for this is that Lu Xuan wanted to monopolize his research results and cover up the evidence. In these years of research, he broke the bottom line many times, even using dozens of living people. Whether from a legal or moral perspective, he is the one who deserves to die.

"Say goodbye to the past, I'm going to welcome my new life."

Lu Xuan took a last look at the city in front of him. This city is not big in Yingzhou, it's a very ordinary medium-sized city, but Lu Xuan has lived here for many years and still has some feelings for it.

Leaving the rooftop, Lu Xuan felt his body, the situation is very good, the effect of genetic modification is very good, now all the cells in his body are very active, like a vacuum cleaner, actively absorbing the free spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the air.

Then it will be merged into the dantian, he only needs to refine it a little, he can turn all these spiritual energy into his own spiritual power, which is very convenient.

And he has calculated that even if he does not actively operate the exercises, just standing like this, the spiritual power absorbed by the cells every day is more than his three days of hard practice, which means that his practice speed is three or four times faster than before.

This is still in this ordinary city, under ordinary environment, if he enters a place with abundant spiritual energy, his speed will be faster.

Of course, genetic modification has more than just these few benefits, there are many functions, it is these things that give Lu Xuan the confidence to say goodbye to the past and start a new life.

Two days later, the news of the fire in the laboratory reached Zheng Yi, but Zheng Yi did not take it seriously. There were at least 300 such private research institutes in Yingzhou, if not 500. Their funding and technological strength were not strong, and they could not compare with the official ones. He did not think that these research institutes could make any important breakthroughs. He was

more concerned about the official research institutes. With their strong support, they have now achieved considerable results, and perhaps one day, they can become their trump card.

"The current scientific research track is very competitive,"

Lin Jiang said, looking at a report in front of him. The report was issued by the Chinese Psychic Research Institute. Some people who studied theoretical directions were summarizing the scientific research directions of various forces.

"It's not that they are so competitive. There are only a few forces now. The Chinese Psychic Energy Research Institute is developing in all aspects and researching various fields. Although Qingyun and Zhou Liao also claim to be developing in all aspects, everyone knows that their annual investment in research and development is less than half of that of China.

As for the others, there is some movement in Yingzhou, such as the Five Allied Powers. Although they have joined forces, they can only work in some niche areas."

Cao Ying said. There are more than a hundred countries in the world now, but only a few of them have real research and development capabilities. Other countries are just foils and resource bases for them. They have no voice and even cannot guarantee basic safety.

"We are indeed a bit overbearing in doing things. Over the years, we have sucked the blood of the whole world. Even outstanding scientists from Qingyun and Zhou Liao have come here, and they are getting weaker and weaker."

"Didn't you do this yourself? What are you talking about? Are you hypocritical?"

"Haha, you are just pretending. However, this report is very valuable. The research tracks of several forces are very interesting. Qingyun is still focusing on genetic drugs, attempting to transform immortal cultivators and improve their strength to a high-level level in one step. Zhou Liao is very interested in alchemy and materials science, and Yingzhou is betting on monsters contaminated by nuclear power, that is, Warcraft."

"Uncle, these forces all want to cooperate with us. Qingyun wants to buy my blood essence for research, and Zhou Liao wants to invite Cao Wang and others to cooperate. As for Yingzhou, they want us to relax restrictions on some high-tech products." "

If Qingyun's behavior were in the era of immortal cultivation, he would be courting death."

Lin Jiang said that the blood of a cultivator is very important. If the blood falls into the hands of the enemy, it is unknown what will happen. If it is not a close relative, how dare you ask for it.

"I am not so stingy. I just broke the leg of the Qingyun Messenger."

Cao Ying said with a smile. It was just a broken leg. She is really good-tempered, okay? As the first person of the human race, it is very offensive to ask her for this.

"Don't let these people bother you in the future."

"I know. I'm going to Penglai Island in two days. Are you going?"

"Isn't Penglai Island abandoned?"

"It's abandoned, but it's not useless. There are many monsters on it, and some of them are very powerful. The class system in the era of cultivating immortals is actually very rough. I have to go and take a look.

In addition, if the nuclear pollution in Penglai Island can be controlled, then control it. It's a pity that such a large area is wasted."

Cao Ying said. China has always been paying attention to Penglai and knows that the nuclear pollution there has actually weakened a lot. Creatures have reappeared in many places. Ordinary people may not be able to bear it, but cultivators have no problem. And those monsters are also new. They have never been seen in the era of cultivating immortals. She is very interested in them.

"You go, I'll ask Wu Li to arrange it, don't let the demon tribe know"

"Don't worry, there's no problem, you really don't want to go"

"No, I have to practice, and I have to catch spies. These spies are too good at hiding. Now it's hide-and-seek, I won't feel comfortable until they are caught"

"Just let your subordinates do this kind of thing"

"Yeah, I have to keep an eye on them too"

Lin Jiang said, he also has to find something to do, keep an eye on them and catch spies, so that he can feel involved.

"Mr. Chen, there are three appointments this afternoon, about the affiliated companies, would you like to meet them?"

In the early morning, Chen Jinfa came to the company's office building, and the secretary came to Chen Jinfa and said.

"Let's meet, put the information on my desk, I'll take a look at it at noon"

Chen Jinfa said, he got the license for the practice resource transaction, many companies want to be affiliated with him, just these affiliation fees, he can make a lot of money.

However, not everyone can come to be affiliated with him, and he is not wanted by everyone. If the company affiliated with him has serious legal problems, it will also affect him. This license must be reviewed every five years. If a serious accident occurs, his license will be revoked, so he must review the affiliated company.

After Chen Jinfa walked into the office, he closed the door and immediately opened the spirit gathering array. He installed spirit stones in the spirit gathering array, making the office a space with super spiritual energy. After the immortal cultivators

have formed the elixir, the golden elixir will absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth when it runs on its own. Although this absorption speed is very slow, it is similar to water dripping through a stone for improving cultivation, but over the years, it is also a considerable amount.

The golden elixir cultivators do not need to sleep, so Chen Jinfa is basically busy with various work during the day, and only at night is he really practicing.

In the afternoon, Chen Jinfa began to meet a few appointments. He had already read their information and barely met their conditions. It depends on the price offered by the other party. If the price does not impress him, don't think about being affiliated with him.

"Next"

The third appointment came soon. The person who came was a middle-aged man, not tall, dark skin, a bit like an old farmer in the countryside.

"Mr. Ye, you can tell me your conditions"

"Mr. Chen, don't worry, it's better to reminisce when old friends meet?"

"I don't seem to know Mr. Ye"

"Ha, you don't know me, but we were able to communicate for a long time in the past. You called me big brother for three months"

"If Mr. Ye doesn't want to cooperate, we can end the conversation"

Chen Jinfa felt bad in his heart, but he still tried to stay rational and said in a calm tone.

"Mr. Chen, there are not many people who call you big brother for three months, do you remember me? I am the big frog on the edge of the well" Muse

said with a smile. The big frog on the edge of the well, such a middle school nickname, he would not use it, it was used by his subordinates, implying that the frog at the bottom of the well can jump out of the well that bound his life.

When Chen Jinfa heard this, he couldn't hold it anymore and his face changed drastically.
