I attained immortality in the real world.

Chapter 89 Creatures of the Moon Palace
"Tick, tick..."

Chen Jing hung up on Xu Zui, and Yao Zhi called immediately.

Envy, jealousy, and hatred did not affect Yao Zhi's view of Chen Jing as a promising prospect. Moreover, a boss who delegates authority and doesn't interfere with management is rare.

The system, if the shares fall into the hands of others, will cause unnecessary trouble. Even if you receive a clarification from the main god, you still won't feel at ease without confirming it.

Chen Jing answered the phone and reiterated, "I'm fine! Just normal cultivation."

Yao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. If something really happens to you, I'll have to sell myself to raise money to buy the shares you hold."

Chen Jing roughly calculated the time and asked, "Judging by the time, it's almost time to split the money, right? Can you settle the accounts with me today?"

Wanxiang Company's only product, the Physiognomy System, has opened up the market with the help of Yaozhi Medical Aesthetics Company. The commercial version has already started to generate profits, but the promotion of the free version still requires continuous investment and has not yet achieved customer acquisition and profitability. Overall, it is maintaining a balance between income and expenditure.

Yaozhi Medical Aesthetics Company established a solid foundation before the launch of the physiognomy system and earned a considerable income using the system. With 30% of the shares, they should be able to receive a significant share of the profits.

Yao Zhi paused and said, "The company just sorted out the accounts. You will receive 42 million. After deducting the 8 million advance, you will still have 34 million left. But are you really that short of money?"

Money? It's not just a lack, it's an extreme lack. Chen Jing paused for a moment and then said, "I'm planning to set up a non-profit biological laboratory. Are you interested in investing?"

When Yao Zhi heard that Chen Jing was not only asking her for money, but also taking her share, she immediately replied without further ado, "Your 34 million will be in your account within five minutes."

"…………"

"Beep! Your account..."

Shortly after Chen Jing hung up the phone, he received several more calls, and only after explaining to each one was he able to confirm that he was still alive.

I opened my phone to check my account information. The balance looked quite long, enough for a lifetime if used only for personal expenses, but far too little for cultivating immortality.

Laboratories, gene optimization fluids, cultivation world data, computing resources, hiring researchers—which of these doesn't require money?

If money were at his disposal, he might even consider buying a nature reserve and transforming it into a base for observing the nature of all living beings. Cultivating immortality is no joke; even if he poured in 30 million, 300 million, or even 3 billion, he might not even see a ripple.

"Things must be prioritized, and the first and most important thing is to establish a biological laboratory."

"A biological laboratory is definitely for biological research, and I myself am the main researcher in biological fields."

"Form: the form of no one, consciousness: the seventh consciousness, nature: the Bodhisattva vehicle, all belong to breaking through the limitations of humanity, which means possessing some non-human abilities."

"Leaving aside the fundamental cultivation of sexuality, the tiger's might and lion's courage, and the inner control of the body are abilities that ordinary people do not possess, as if opening a door to a new world."

"Possessing the appearance of one beast is the second realm. Possessing the appearance of a hundred beasts, ten thousand beasts, or even merging the appearances of all beasts into one, and possessing the wonders of all appearances, also belongs to the second realm."

"Controlling the blood flow in the palm is controlling the body, controlling growth and development is also controlling the body, and even controlling the speed of aging is also controlling the body. All of these belong to the second realm."

"The gap between those at the same level is naturally greater than the gap between humans and dogs. Human beings' inherent perceptions can be misleading. I need a laboratory to use data to help me understand my own changes. This is a condition that ancient cultivators did not have." "Rather than being studied by others, I'd rather take this job myself!"

"Twenty million can barely support the framework of the experiment. It would be best if we could attract a big investor to invest in the future. Otherwise, we can only wait for Wanxiang Company to make a profit."

Chen Jing logged into the Metaverse.

After registering the research and development company Wanxiang Laboratory.

Clicking the link to Tianying Template Company, a tiny figure popped up from the screen: "Dear guest, welcome to the Tianying Template Mall. How can I help you?"

Chen Jing was familiar with the process and directly purchased a template for a small R&D company from the mall, then used computing power to visualize the template.

He dialed Xu Zui's number again and said directly, "Do you have a Yuanjie account? Let's meet in Baiyunjian, Floating City, and I'll grant you management access to the Myriad Forms Laboratory."

Xu Zui was suddenly startled, not expecting Chen Jing to be so efficient. He said he would set up a laboratory in the morning, and by the afternoon he had it all set up. He exclaimed in surprise, "So fast? Yes, I have a Metaverse exclusive account, but I don't even know what a laboratory is for?"

Chen Jing asked the main god to list the experimental instruments for monitoring bodily functions and the basic personnel for maintaining the laboratory, and replied: "For biological research, we only need to build the framework at present. I will compile a list for you of the instruments that need to be purchased, the types of personnel to be recruited, and the approximate address of the laboratory."

Chen Jing handed over the management of the laboratory to Xu Zui in the Yuan Realm, told him the purpose of establishing the laboratory, and then refrained from interfering, observing from the perspective of an observer.

Management is not his forte. If Yao Zhi and Xu Zui can handle it, then there's no need to get involved. If they can't handle it, then he can't handle it either.

The current requirements for laboratories are not high. As long as they can be used when needed, there are no other problems.

"........."

"We have 14 million left. We'll keep 10 million to buy gene optimization fluid and keep 4 million in reserve, in case we need to buy information about the cultivation world after we arrive."

The link to Chen Jingdian's Moon Palace Biotechnology Company shows a scene of a bright moon rising from the sea, half in the sky and half in the water.

Then, a palm-sized white rabbit jumped out from the light screen and spoke in human language: "Hello, I am the Jade Rabbit of Moon Palace 10086. How can I help you, sir?"

"My Moon Palace has many spiritual medicines available, such as the Jade Rabbit Type 1 Gene Optimization Liquid No. 1, which can enhance strength; the Jade Rabbit Type 1 Gene Optimization Liquid No. 2, which can enhance memory; ... and the best-selling Jade Rabbit Type 1 Gene Optimization Liquid No. 9, which can extend lifespan."

Chen Jing didn't know much about the Moon Palace's biotechnology, mainly because he was poor and dared not covet the elixir of immortality. He continued to ask, "Are there any spiritual medicines that can comprehensively strengthen the body?"

The Jade Rabbit nodded: "Yes, but this elixir carries a certain risk of death and can only be used by people who can fully control their consciousness, so it will not be sold to most people."

The company is named after the Moon Palace, and its products are named after the Jade Rabbit pounding medicine. It's not surprising that they have a background in cultivation. Chen Jing continued to ask, "How do I purchase them?"

The Jade Rabbit replied, "First, pay a deposit of ten million. Then, come to the Moon Palace Biotechnology to have your genes tested and prove that you have fully mastered consciousness. After that, go to the company's base to train your body under guidance. Once your body's various attributes reach the standard to withstand the elixir, you can use it."
