Chapter 5

Liu Shengzhi was startled awake.

"Just now, that was the third realm of the entry level, the opening of the acupoints..."

Liu Shengzhi was both surprised and delighted.

In the midst of stopping thoughts, a sudden light appeared before his eyes, like sparks, flickering uncertainly. This was precisely the realm of opening the acupoints as recorded.

However, the time was too short, and the sparks did not stabilize.

It was like making fire by drilling wood or striking flint. A single spark cannot ignite anything; it must wait until the spark stabilizes and has enough heat to ignite.

"It's fine, the first time I tried, light appeared before my eyes. In the future, when I become more proficient, I will naturally be able to stabilize the light and truly open the acupoints!" Liu Shengzhi thought, filled with confidence.

Unconsciously, he didn't know how much time had passed. He only began to notice the changes in the outside world and was startled awake by this feeling.

Suddenly, he remembered something and looked down everywhere. After searching for a long time, he finally relaxed and smiled.

In his hand, he actually held an iron talisman, which was naturally the Talisman of Heaven and Earth Shift.

"This thing must be a magical treasure," Liu Shengzhi muttered.

The soul is intangible and cannot even lift a piece of paper. However, this Talisman of Heaven and Earth Shift, not only has its effects, but it can be held by the soul and appear in his physical body.

This is quite remarkable!

Looking down at the iron talisman, although it looked like metal, the material was unrecognizable, seeming to have a crystalline appearance with specks of light.

Eight characters were engraved on it: "Yin and Yang rotate, Heaven and Earth shift!"

At first glance, it was extraordinary!

Liu Shengzhi played with it for a while, then suddenly shivered and quickly put it away.

After all, this was in He Hongye's house. Who knows if there were any cameras or other surveillance devices? One must always be cautious!

Fortunately, after a thorough inspection, he found no traces of cameras, and he felt greatly relieved.

He no longer played with the Talisman of Heaven and Earth Shift. At this moment, he didn't even know how to use this magical treasure.

He vaguely felt that the four words "Heaven and Earth Shift" revealed its use. Could it be for teleportation? But to where?

That night, he spent the whole time pondering the contents of the divine book and the strange teleportation. He didn't sleep well at all.

The next day, Liu Shengzhi felt refreshed and clear-headed. He hadn't felt this way in a long time, especially after a sleepless night, which should have left him with a foggy head.

"This place is not suitable for a long stay!" Liu Shengzhi thought. He should find an opportunity to bid farewell to He Hongye.

Unexpectedly, when he saw He Hongye, he heard him laugh and say, "I heard you are looking for a job. If you don't mind, why don't you come work at my company!"

"This..."

Even with his recent good fortune, Liu Shengzhi still needed to eat. Even if he had obtained divine magic, he hadn't succeeded in cultivation and still needed a lot of money.

Moreover, the saying goes that the poor are in literature and the rich in martial arts. The more one cultivates, the more money is required. In ancient times, it was even said that cultivating and refining elixirs could cost a mountain of gold.

With only a few thousand yuan and a rented apartment with rent due in ten days, this was not a long-term solution.

"Mr. He, I haven't even repaid you for saving my life. How can I now have the audacity to ask you for a job!" Liu Shengzhi ultimately declined.

After all, he and He Hongye had no kinship. Why would he take such good care of him?

He Hongye was not angry, thinking that Liu Shengzhi was young and proud, with a thin face. He smiled faintly, thinking that young people, without experiencing setbacks, don't realize that face cannot be eaten!

"Then it's settled. You can start working at my company tomorrow!" He Hongye said, leaving no room for refusal. The domineering air of a CEO of a listed company was evident.

Liu Shengzhi silently accepted it. After all, this was his savior. He couldn't directly cause a rift!

At worst, I will repay you in the future!

Three days later, Liu Shengzhi started working at Hongye Group. Unexpectedly, Liu Shengzhi chose to be a security guard.

He knew nothing about the pharmaceutical industry and didn't want to do sales. Such work was too exhausting and often required spending time in bars.

For a cultivator, the mind should be calm, not filled with all sorts of clutter.

Hongye Group's office building, the Hongye Tower, was built by the group itself. Liu Shengzhi was assigned to the internal security team. The job was much easier than standing guard outside, and the salary was also higher.

Liu Shengzhi didn't pay much attention to these things. His mind was completely elsewhere.

After taking the Five Stone Powder and practicing the cultivation method from the divine book, Liu Shengzhi could feel his body gradually becoming stronger.

At the very least, he hadn't experienced the soul flying away for many days.

"Are you Liu Shengzhi?"

Yang Yue looked at Liu Shengzhi with an extremely critical eye. As the deputy manager of the human resources department, she couldn't help but frown when she saw such a weak-looking person mixed into the company's security team.

Although there were rumors that it was ordered by the chairman's office, if this person had a strong background, he wouldn't have been assigned to be a security guard, right?

Liu Shengzhi looked at Yang Yue calmly. She was a rare beauty, wearing glasses and a work suit, with a sharp gaze. However, she couldn't hide the fact that she was quite young.

"Let me arrange for you to be a security guard in the laboratory!" Yang Yue pondered, her long black hair tied into a neat ponytail, looking quite efficient. She seemed to be only about five or six years older than Liu Shengzhi.

A pleasant, healthy female scent wafted into his nose. In the past, this might have made Liu Shengzhi feel uneasy, but now his mind was as calm as water.

"Li Li, where are we going to watch a movie after work?" A tall, handsome, and definitely a high-rich-and-handsome young man appeared at the door, calling out.

Yang Yue's face darkened, and she said unhappily, "It's working hours now, please call me by my position!"

"Alright, alright," the high-rich-and-handsome man smiled, "I'll call you whatever you want!"

He then glanced at Liu Shengzhi, "You're Liu Shengzhi, right? I'm He Ming. I've heard of you; you seem to have fainted on the street and were saved by my dad, right?"

"Ah, it's Master He," Liu Shengzhi sighed inwardly. Do these second-generation rich never consider others' feelings?

However, since He Hongye had saved him, Liu Shengzhi said with neither humility nor arrogance, "I must thank Mr. He for saving my life!"

He Ming nodded and immediately lost interest in Liu Shengzhi. Clearly, his target was the beautiful Yang Yue!
