"Hey, you sure have a lot of hobbies!" Lin Wan looked at Lu Zheng in disbelief, "Do you have a system or sothing?"
Lu Zheng stumbled at her words, "Aren't you reading martial arts novels? When did you start reading web novels?"
"Even my mom can read them, why can't I?" Lin Wan retorted, "Martial Arts, dical Skills, Magic, Calligraphy, Piano... Is there anything you haven't shown off in front of ?"
"Co on, you're a cop. What could I possibly hide from you?" Lu Zheng joked.
"Are you mocking ? You're definitely mocking !" Lin Wan squinted.
Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows, "Think about it, what do all these things have in common?"
Lin Wan clenched her fists, making a "creak creak" sound, then thought for a mont and said, "They're all related to muscle control?"
Lu Zheng looked impressed, "And also the ntal realm."
"ntal realm?" Lin Wan asked.
"When you simulate carrying mountains every day, doesn't understanding the ntal realm beco easier?" Lu Zheng explained.
"Is... it?" Lin Wan was uncertain.
"Martial Arts and dical Skills aside, these are things I've painstakingly practiced over the years." Lu Zheng stated seriously.
Jade Seal, "..."
"Yes, that's right." Lin Wan nodded in agreent.
"Magic, you're aware of that."
"Pfft—" Thinking about that Japanese female magician who was fooled and stumbled, Lin Wan couldn't help but laugh.
"Calligraphy and Piano, these kinds of arts are actually quite similar, basically it's about proficiency and emotional investnt." Lu Zheng explained, "The 'Eighteen Mountain-Carrying Techniques' is much harder than writing and playing piano. If I can perform Martial Arts, then writing a character or playing the piano is quite scientific and reasonable, right?"
"Right... I guess?" Lin Wan thought, it seed pretty reasonable.
It's definitely more reasonable than starting off by creating a nuclear bomb by hand, right? A college student making a Gundam or a reactor by hand is definitely a clue to having a system!
"Exactly, so theoretically speaking, if you can master sothing as difficult as the 'Eighteen Mountain-Carrying Techniques', calligraphy and piano, these simple skills can be learned in no ti." Lu Zheng said matter-of-factly, "Of course, it might not reach the level of Yan Zhenqing or Beethoven, but definitely far beyond an ordinary person."
Lin Wan nodded blankly, she hadn't mastered it yet, so she just listened and thought it seed... pretty reasonable?
"Of course, theory is theory, practice is practice. After all, I'm still the only example, so maybe I'm just a genius?" Lu Zheng blinked, "So, you shouldn't pressure yourself too much."
Lin Wan couldn't help but stare, "What do you an, you're looking down on , aren't you? Just wait, once I master the 'Eighteen Mountain-Carrying Techniques', I'll surely learn calligraphy and piano quickly!"
"Right, right! You can definitely do it, keep it up!" Lu Zheng clenched his fist to cheer her on.
"Ho! Practice boxing!" Lin Wan excitedly pulled Lu Zheng along and whipped out her phone, booking a ride ho.
"Rember to change into Hanfu to practice National Martial Arts, wearing Hanfu feels right." Lu Zheng reminded.
"Go to hell!"
...
The next day, Lin Wan went to work, while Lu Zheng lay in bed. He first called his mom to chat for a while, then got up to wash up and get ready to head to the ancient world, but just as he was about to cross over, the phone rang.
"Hello, President Liu?" Lu Zheng answered the call; it was Liu Zhenming on the other end.
"President Lu, do you have so ti today?" Liu Zhenming asked over the phone.
"What's up, anything happening?"
"The major shareholder of Nandu Huai Ren Hall wants to have a al with you to get to know you." Liu Zhenming explained, "It's probably about that Old Ginseng; they're looking to make a connection so they can prioritize getting good mountain goods in the future."
Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, "He's just so sure I'll continue getting good stuff?"
"President Lu, we've dealt a few tis; no need for secrets." Liu Zhenming chuckled, "You're not specifically in the dicinal business, but you got such good mountain goods, surely you have your ways. Where there's one, there'll be two; best to build so connections for smoother dealings in the future. Besides, Nandu Huai Ren Hall is a renowned dostic pharmaceutical company, wealthy and willing to pay a fair price. Though less than auctions, they offer fast transactions and buy high-quality but non-auction-worthy materials too. So, President Lu, up for a al?"
Lu Zheng thought for a mont and agreed, "Alright, when and where?"
"Noon, twelve o'clock. 249 West Jing City Road, Ning'an District, at Shallow Sea Courtyard."
"Okay." Lu Zheng nodded and then hung up.
...
Lu Zheng took a breath and pondered; he had imagined profiting between two worlds, becoming quite wealthy. But unexpectedly, the ancient world wasn't too serious; with a few flips, he started cultivation. Now, in less than a year, he had Hundred Years of Dao Practice. Given his current strength, if he wants money, is a problem? And another key point is—is money still his pursuit now?
"Hmph!" Lu Zheng sneered and shook his head, of course it is!
He wanted to stay at a luxury hotel! Visit White Swan Castle! Indulge in Monaco's decadence! Ever fished for tuna on an island in the Pacific Ocean? These were dreams of a poor person, have they been realized now? Not yet? Not a single small goal achieved?
Ha!
There are many ways to make money, but Lu Zheng really didn't want to get disappeared. Considering modern pollution, scarce mountain goods, a three-hundred-year-old Mountain Ginseng can earn sixty million, so it's pretty quick, so he decided to maintain this business.
...
At noon twelve o'clock, Lu Zheng arrived at the destination on ti.
Shallow Sea Courtyard turned out to be an independent little villa complex, grood lushly by the owner, filled with flowers. As he entered, a faint old tune floated in the air, perfectly matching the Western-style architecture from decades ago, creating a full ambiance.
A al where both the host and guest enjoyed themselves; Lu Zheng got acquainted with a major shareholder nad Xie Feng of Huai Ren Hall, and right there, he fetched a Centennial Ginseng weighing less than a pound, sold for a post-tax price of twelve million.
Lu Zheng was very satisfied.
...
Crossing to the ancient world, Renxin Hall.
"Lu Lang is here!" Liu Qingyan was diagnosing a patient when Lu Zheng entered, not even getting up.
Lu Zheng nodded, greeted Liu Qingyan and her father, then skillfully washed his hands, seated himself, and started attending to so of the patients in the clinic.
That's what's good about ancient tis; you don't need a dical qualification to diagnose, unlike modern tis where he has to furtively treat Lin Wan's ailnts fearing being taken away and disappeared, end ga!
