My Side Job is a Trader

What Zhang Xin didn't know was that this time was a test sent down from heaven.

This is the ultimate path for every practitioner. As long as the cultivation reaches a certain level, the existence in the dark will come to test the practitioner.

If you pass the test, your future practice will be smooth. If you fail the test, then your life’s practice will come to an end. No matter how hard you try in the future, your practice will not increase.

In ancient times, because there was no explosion of information like modern times, people's hearts were relatively simple and their thoughts were not so complicated. This is just very good for practice, and in ancient times, there were teachers and elders who taught them what to pay attention to in the process of cultivation. clear.

But Zhang Xin is different. He relies entirely on self-exploration. Thanks to his extraordinary talent and a little bit of luck, he has the current Taoism. Lei, and then he can teach Li Xueer how to practice.

Fortunately, Zhang Xin has a bug. Every time he encounters a critical crisis, he will follow his intuition and choose the path that is more beneficial to him.

At the beginning, Zhang Xin embarked on the path of spiritual practice by chance, and later obtained the freedom of wealth by virtue of his awakened talent and supernatural powers, so he thought of using his huge wealth to recruit a large number of smart scientists to help him solve some mysteries of spiritual practice.

This is undoubtedly a shortcut.

But let Zhang Xin ignore that practice belongs to the category of metaphysics. According to the conclusion of a certain thinker, this is completely idealism, while science belongs to the opposite category of materialism.

Both sides can refer to certain points of view, but if they want to use their own methodologies to study the most fundamental things of the other faction, they are doomed to be nothing.

Of course, it is not that the two sides have no intersection at all. Take the research on the body, whether it is metaphysics or science, each has its own research direction. If we want to distinguish clearly, this should belong to the category of science.

Metaphysics often involves things at the material level from the very beginning, not just things at the level of consciousness. Therefore, when doing research, modern people can sometimes refer to metaphysics and receive inspiration and inspiration from it.

Science, on the other hand, focuses on the material level at the beginning, and only when it reaches the depths can it involve the level of consciousness.

This is also the reason why some well-known big sciences in history finally ran to study theology. Maybe they discovered something, which is not known to outsiders.

According to the current overall level of science, the level of consciousness is still not involved. Even with the famous double-slit interference experiment at the beginning, it was just a taste of it, and there was no further research, or it is currently in a state of helplessness.

It is precisely for this reason that Zhang Xin vainly tries to use scientific means to explore the secrets of cultivation, but he can't find an entry point. He can only scratch the surface and explore some things that do not involve the level of consciousness in cultivation.

Now that there is a test in the dark, Zhang Xin resolutely chose to give up using external forces to study the secrets of cultivation. In the future, he will do scientific things scientifically, and he needs to explore things related to cultivation by himself. Of course, specific research The means are up to him, and he can use himself as a guinea pig to do various experiments.

Except for the reorganization of the biology laboratory, other aspects have not changed much, so what should be.

For example, space exploration still needs to go on, not only in response to the government’s direct bid for commercial space exploration in the United States, but Zhang Xin’s intuition also told him that there are many unknown secrets in space, some of which are also relevant to his practice. help.

It is precisely because of this feeling that Zhang Xin vigorously develops space exploration. It just so happens that the government also has this demand. The two sides hit it off, and now Chaos Space Exploration Company has a place in the world.

After deciding on the general direction in the future, Zhang Xin began to concentrate on the study of cultivation, which was no longer limited to the improvement of Taoism, but also included some unimaginable things, such as formations and formulas.

As for the affairs of the company, the authority is basically delegated to the heads of various departments. Only some particularly important matters need to be handled by him personally. With the help of supernatural powers, managing the company is indeed very simple and does not require him to spend too much energy.

In your spare time, you can do it yourself, without using supernatural powers, and rely entirely on your inner thoughts to do it, which can be regarded as training your concentration.

By studying the market, Zhang Xin can figure out the people's hearts in the market, so as to gain insight into the world and sharpen his heart.

Daoist Songfeng told him that since ancient times, practitioners have been divided into three grades, among which the lowest grade is those who are unstable in mind. These people are either trapped by love, or blinded by the prosperity of the world. It ended up being nothing.

Secondly, people like Daoist Songfeng, they can endure loneliness, but their hearts are still not in a calm state, so in order to prevent themselves from being tempted, this kind of people simply go to the deep mountains and old forests to live in seclusion. He lived a hermit life of "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely".

The top grade is the method of "hiding in the city". Even if this kind of person is deep in the bustling market, he will not be polluted by the worldly atmosphere. Heart.

Zhang Xin's current behavior is quite in line with the style of "big hermit hiding in the city".

The capital market is the place where human desires are the strongest. If you can be in it without being tempted, it will be of great benefit to your practice, but it also means that if you don't pay attention, you will be given by various desires Swallowed, and in the end a few years of Dao Xing died, and since then he has no relationship with the Dao.

At the beginning, Daoist Songfeng cherished his talents and couldn't bear to let a talented cultivation genius sink into the world, so he talked to him about the pros and cons. In the end, Zhang Xin felt that he should return to the Shanghai stock market and return to the capital market.

Because he is not alone, he has no worries, he has parents and a family, and with the ties of these mundane things, Zhang Xin can't get away from the world of mortals, so Zhang Xin simply throws himself into it, using the world of mortals to grind Practice your mind.

The result is naturally gratifying, Zhang Xin's Taoism has long surpassed Taoist Songfeng, it can be said that Zhang Xin can already be called the number one person in the practice world.

Now that the practice world is withered, it is unknown how many practitioners there are still. Hundreds of years ago, a state like Zhang Xin who could barely get out of his body could only be regarded as the level of an inner disciple.

While Zhang Xinzhai was at home raising his children and studying the methods of cultivation, Daoist Songfeng called and told him to go to Longhu Mountain to attend the five-yearly religious conference.
