My Side Job is a Trader

Looking at the cassock in his hand, Zhang Xin couldn't help but start to be dazed.

Zhang Xin has always believed in science. After all, this is what he has learned from childhood.

But ever since he awakened his innate supernatural powers and embarked on the path of cultivation, he discovered that there is actually another system in this world.

Many things that are classified as feudal superstitions actually exist.

Before, he always thought that some things could be verified by scientific means, such as the discovery of meridians or the discovery of vitality, which proved this point.

But what followed was that the research has come to a standstill, and the research on consciousness has been in the stage of illusory.

Looking at the cassock in front of him now, Zhang Xin felt powerless.

After all, even if I can figure out that it is because of the aura field that I can have the supernatural ability to avoid water and fire, although the aura field is similar to the magnetic field concept in physics, the basis of the two is completely different.

The magnetic field is based on the principles of mechanics, but what the aura field is is unknown, and even if Zhang Xin wants to ask questions about the aura field, he doesn't know who to turn to, which makes Zhang Xin feel lonely.

Fortunately, there is Li Xueer by her side. Although Li Xueer cannot open her eyes to see the aura because she has not yet reached the stage of cultivation, she can feel the existence of some aura with her different perception from ordinary people, so sometimes Zhang Xin will share with her Things seen through the eyes of the sky.

"By the way, husband, you said that we persist in cultivating every day. If you take a look with your heavenly eyes, can you see the difference between us cultivators and ordinary people?"

Zhang Xin was stunned for a moment. Since he seldom actively observes others with his heavenly eyes, he has never thought about the difference between the auras of practitioners and ordinary people. Stronger than ordinary people, otherwise practice would be meaningless.

However, because he seldom comes into contact with practitioners, Li Xueer is one of them. The Great Monk Liaochen in Sucheng Baiyun Temple has been confirmed to be a practitioner, and Master Songfeng Daochang is probably also a practitioner. There are just a few people.

Usually, Zhang Xin has met many people, but there are only so many who can be called practitioners. No wonder Daoist Songfeng and him once mentioned that we are now in the age of dharma, and the path of practice may be completely cut off in the future Since then, mankind has completely embarked on the path of science.

Daoist Songfeng told him that science and metaphysics can't be said to be superior or inferior. According to Taoist ancestors, all three thousand ways in the world can be proved.

Cultivation can prolong life and even achieve immortality. Science can also prolong life. As for immortality, there is naturally a way. However, due to the limited level of science and technology, human beings have been unable to take that step.

Years later, Zhang Xin brought the vestment to the biological laboratory and demonstrated the magical powers of the vestment to several scientists. The scientists looked at each other in blank dismay, confused.

Wei Zhiren touched the material of the cassock, and said in surprise: "Strange, what is the material of this silk thread? It can't be a new material, right?"

Yuan Shujun said: "Professor Wei, what material do you think can have the ability to avoid water and fire? Mr. Zhang has already said that this thing is called a cassock. I am afraid it is that kind of existence."

"Hey, sometimes the more you know about this world, the more you feel our ignorance. Could it be that the end of science is really theology?"

"Okay, don't be emotional, Professor Wei, do you think you can research anything through the study of this cassock?"

Looking at Zhang Xin's expectant expression, Wei Zhiren said, "I guess we won't be able to study anything, after all, it might be some kind of substance we don't know, and once it is related to the existence of immortals and gods, This only adds to the unsolved mystery."

Zhang Xin handed the cassock to Wei Zhiren and said, "Take it and study it first, and if you really can't find anything, return it to me."

Wei Zhiren nodded, took the cassock, and prepared to use a microscope to study the material.

Since the research on consciousness has come to a standstill, Zhang Xin didn't insist, and let the people in the laboratory freely choose the research direction. No matter what they want to study, they only need to write a research plan report on the relevant topic, and Zhang Xin will do their best. support.

Zhang Xin thought about it, and the purpose of setting up a biological laboratory at the beginning was to be able to explore the mystery of longevity.

Generally speaking, there is nothing wrong with the general direction. After all, the pursuit of longevity is indeed the dream of human beings since ancient times.

But the mistake was that Zhang Xin confused science with metaphysics.

He tried to use scientific means to explore metaphysical things, but the result was that he couldn't even understand the most basic consciousness in metaphysics, and he wanted to study other things based on consciousness, which was a waste of money and time.

Of course, the two can be used as reference or inspiration for each other. For example, the vitality discovered by Yuan Shujun’s team is a metaphysical concept, but since it does not involve the level of consciousness, it can also be discovered and utilized through certain means. And the further true qi cannot be studied through scientific means, because the true qi is a special product of the combination of vitality and consciousness, as long as it is separated from consciousness, it will return to vitality, and it cannot be studied at all.

Originally, Zhang Xin wanted to be lazy, thinking that as long as he had a large number of the smartest scientists under his command, they would be able to help him explore things in practice, but now it seems like an extravagant hope.

Relying on others is worse than relying on yourself, especially in practice, you need to find out by yourself.

Of course, it does not mean that Zhang Xin has given up using scientific methods to explore immortality.

This research still needs to be studied, such as the research on genes that Yuan Shujun's team has established.

They are trying to analyze the genes and explore the reason for the sudden collapse of cell division. After all, in the original experiment, all the conditions required for cell division existed, but the cells still collapsed. This means that there is a problem with the core DNA of the cells. If Being able to find out the reason and reprogram the gene, does it mean that as long as the external environment permits, cell division will continue, and this can also achieve an alternative longevity.

But Zhang Xin disdained this kind of longevity very much.

Because the longevity Zhang Xin wants is a perfect longevity that does not need to rely on external objects.

The longevity that Yuan Shujun's team can achieve is based on the possession of Xiaohuandan. Once the growth environment of the cells becomes harsh, the cells will die, which also means the death of life.

Moreover, such a long life also has hidden dangers, that is, if the spirit of the person is not strong enough, various mental illnesses will occur after a certain period of life. Instead, they will actively ask for death, which is the backlash of time.

And practice is to find ways to use various spiritual energy to enhance consciousness and strengthen the spirit. When the spirit is strong enough, it can directly extract energy from the void to maintain the growth environment of the body cells, and because the spirit power is strong enough, there will be no time lag Backlash.

Of the two methods of longevity, Zhang Xin naturally would not choose the method that can only maintain physical longevity.
