Joining Tiandao Company: Starting by mending a zombie world

"Unorthodox methods, pass." Chu Sheng shook his head.

"Annotations on the Classic of Plain Girl (Modern Revised Edition) - 300 Merits"

Note: This is a dual cultivation method for health preservation, focusing on regulating Yin and Yang and prolonging life. It does not provide any combat power bonus.

"A set of detailed video lectures on the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic is included as a bonus."

"Health preservation? What I need right now is to vent my anger and become stronger, not health preservation." Chu Sheng curled his lip.

"The Golden Elixir Method of Dragon and Tiger Intercourse - 2500 Merits"

"Note: This is a traditional Taoist dual cultivation method. Both the male and female practitioners need to have a foundation in cultivation, be of one mind, and progress together. Upon reaching the highest level of mastery, they can form the Dragon-Tiger Golden Core, which greatly enhances their magical power."

"Warning: The cultivation method is profound and extremely difficult to master, and it also has very high requirements for a cultivation partner."

"This is great!" Chu Sheng's eyes lit up, but upon seeing the price and notes, his enthusiasm immediately waned.

"2500 merit points... That's highway robbery! And I have to find a cultivation partner with whom I share a deep understanding? Where am I supposed to find one?"

He continued scrolling down.

"The Art of Dual Cultivation with a Single Point of Understanding - 1800 Merits"

"Note: This practice originated from a branch of Buddhism and emphasizes spiritual connection and resonance. It requires less physical contact and can be completed through spiritual interaction. The downside is that progress is slow."

"Spiritual interaction?" Chu Sheng scratched his head. "It sounds mysterious, and it's not cheap either."

After searching for a full half hour, Chu Sheng went to the secondhand market.

I've finally found one that seems to meet my current needs and is also reasonably priced:

"Introduction to Joyful Zen Visualization (Missing) - 300 Merit Points (Includes 'Vajra Hammer Training Method')"

Poster ID: "Dandingke".

Chu Sheng opened the post and read the details carefully.

The seller's description was very accurate.

This technique is not some earth-shattering secret art; it originally consisted of 72 forms.

He only has 36 moves here.

However, it does not affect cultivation.

It is through the practice of "dual cultivation of emptiness and bliss" that one can cultivate the nature of emptiness.

The ultimate goal is to "use desire to control desire".

The advantages are that it is safe and gentle, and you will not go astray. Over time, you can even cultivate the golden light of Buddhism.

The downside is that progress is slow, and it mainly plays a supporting role.

However, what Chu Sheng liked most was actually that hammer technique.

Awesome!

"Perfect." Chu Sheng's eyes lit up. "I don't need a killer move that I can use immediately in combat. As long as I can safely channel the excess yang energy and use the medicinal bath to stimulate my pure yang body, that will be fine."

He contacted "Dandingke" via internal messaging and requested to inspect the goods.

The other party readily sent the first third of the cultivation method—a formula of about a hundred words and several simple diagrams of the qi circulation route.

Chu Sheng studied it carefully.

This section mainly discusses how to use specific breathing techniques and physical contact.

It guides the exchange and circulation of Qi within both individuals, achieving the effect of "shared Qi sensation and mutual balance of Yin and Yang".

The writing is simple and archaic, yet clearly organized, unlike something that has been fabricated.

Most importantly, it mentions the view that "those with excessive Yang can use the Yin of Kun to regulate and transform hardness into softness, nourishing the internal organs," which is exactly what Chu Sheng is currently struggling with.

"Little Fang personally instructed: I want the cultivation technique. 300 merit points, shall we trade now?"

"Dan Dingke: Excellent. But I should remind you that this technique requires one side to be completely dependent on the other."

"Otherwise, if you force it or have reservations, it will be ineffective at best, and at worst, it will cause your energy to flow backward and damage your meridians."

"This..." Chu Sheng was a little confused. Where could he find a woman who would completely depend on him?

He gave a wry smile; he knew far too few women.

Most importantly, they are all just ordinary relationships.

and many more…

A person instantly came to his mind…

That's Chen Ming's wife—Zhou Li.

After that last time, she would intentionally or unintentionally ask me out.

Unfortunately, he really disliked Chen Ming's despicable nature.

He simply ignored the other person.

It seems that Zhou Li's text messages have become less frequent lately.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Sheng replied, "Understood. Thank you for reminding me."

The transaction was completed quickly.

After deducting 300 merits, a thin, thread-bound blue handwritten copy appeared in Chu Sheng's hands.

The paper is yellowed, and the ink is old-fashioned, indicating that it has been around for quite some time.

Turning to the title page, a line of elegant small regular script comes into view:

"The essence of dual cultivation lies in sincerity. If one tries to control emotions with techniques, one will ultimately fall into a lower realm."

"Amitabha Buddha, excellent, excellent!"

Signed – Garan Buddha Mother.

Chu Sheng was slightly taken aback; this "Garland Buddha Mother" was indeed insightful.

He continued flipping through the pages.

Just as I was pondering this, my phone suddenly vibrated, and the caller ID showed "Dai Ran".

Chu Sheng glanced at the time; it was only a little past nine in the morning. He thought to himself, "This beauty certainly doesn't sleep in."

He answered the phone and chuckled, "Miss Dai, what can I do for you?"

"Hehe, I wouldn't dare accept your guidance." Dai Ran's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone. "Did I disturb you so early?"

"No, I just finished my morning class," Chu Sheng replied.

"Morning class?" Dai Ran blinked, curiously asking, "Is it like Zhang Zhenren's 'one pillar supporting the sky' in 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber'?"

"Cough cough cough..." Chu Sheng never expected that Dai Ran, this great beauty, would utter such raunchy words. He explained:

"I am not cultivating a virgin body."

As soon as he finished speaking, a disappointed voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Then there won't be a pillar supporting the sky."

"No!" Chu Sheng instinctively explained, "It's not the same thing! There's more!"

"Hehehe..." Dai Ran couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, saying, "Don't be nervous, I'm just teasing you."

She changed the subject abruptly, saying seriously, "Let's get down to business."

"I heard from Ningning that you have a batch of S-version Yuan Shikai silver dollars to sell?"

"Yeah..." Chu Sheng said speechlessly, "We've been trying to sell them for a while, but we haven't been able to."

"Idiot!" Dai Ran said, "You're so stupid as to sell yourself out like that, you're lucky you haven't been set up."

"When the 200-yuan 'Dai's' comes this afternoon, I'll have my grandfather collect it for you."

"Your grandfather?" Chu Sheng asked, slightly puzzled. "He sold antiques?"

"Stop talking nonsense... Remember to come early." It seemed like someone was calling Dai Ran. After leaving that sentence, she hung up the phone hastily.

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Chu Sheng laughed, "I was wondering why this girl always had such a haughty little look. Turns out she's a 'real' young lady."

Just then, his phone suddenly vibrated. He took it out and saw that it was a message from Zhou Li:

"Chu Sheng, Zhao Jun's wife has found out about his affair."

"There's a lot of anxiety in the company right now."

Chu Sheng was taken aback, then sneered. Dogs fighting, they've finally gotten their comeuppance.

He replied with two words: "Pretty good."

Zhou Li quickly replied: "I know you hate me, but I still want to thank you for not making things difficult for me last time."

"I'd like to thank you for the opportunity."

Chu Sheng looked at the message, hesitated for a moment, and realized that he really needed Zhou Li to thank him properly.

After thinking for a moment, he replied, "I'll contact you in a few days!"

Upon seeing Chu Sheng's message, Zhou Li felt inexplicably excited. After thinking for a moment, she replied:

"In a few days, I might not be able to eat cold food."

After sending the message, she felt that she was being too direct and blunt, which might offend Chu Sheng.

Just as I was about to send another message to make up for it, Chu Sheng's reply popped up on my phone:

"It's alright, just have something hot to eat."
