Chapter 664: Chapter 335: Destiny of the Heavenly Destroyer - Luo Meixiang_2
Just because of this, Lin Beichen couldn’t treat Luo Meixiang badly.
Lin Beichen was actually very curious about this little girl.
The Celestial Killer Lone Star Fate was rare even in ancient times.
During his time at Zhongcheng Hall, Lin Beichen looked up numerous records about the Celestial Killer Lone Star Fate.
According to historical records, every Celestial Killer Lone Star Fate would trigger a turmoil or disaster.
Family and friends would suffer minor disasters, while some catastrophes might even affect the whole city’s populace.
In ancient times, whenever there was a massacre of a city or an epidemic that wiped out a village or town, upon thorough investigation, the presence of someone with the Celestial Killer Lone Star Fate could always be found.
In modern times, although society is more efficient, resources are plentiful, and medicine is more advanced, the destructive power of the Celestial Killer Lone Star Fate remains extraordinary.
Although Lin Beichen had not yet figured out how to deal with Luo Meixiang, he would never allow anyone to kill an innocent life just because of their fate.
It wasn’t Luo Meixiang’s fault that she was born under this ominous fate.
It was her misfortune, but this misfortune should not be borne by her alone.
"The Celestial Killer Lone Star Fate may be a challenge, but behind the challenge lies an opportunity. If I can uncover the secrets of this fate, it might help me achieve the Unity of Heaven and Man."
After cultivating a Golden Core, merely cultivating Spiritual Qi was no longer enough for Lin Beichen to make a breakthrough.
Even the most abundant Spiritual Qi in the world couldn’t satisfy him.
Further progress was extremely difficult.
Besides needing an area with abundant Spiritual Qi and superior elixirs, Lin Beichen also needed a breakthrough in his Mental Realm, and perhaps even to complete the Heavenly Dao.
The opening of the Celestial Gate was just the opening of the path of Spiritual Qi, but the Heavenly Dao remained chaotic.
He had Mr. Li Jiang supervise the refining of elixirs, partly to help train official personnel, and partly in hopes of utilizing official power to develop industries.
Since he needed to refine elixirs, it required mass cultivation of Spirit Grass, and besides herbs, also some special Chinese herbs and animal bones.
The retail of Spirit Pills and Spirit Grass was an urgent need.
However, relying solely on ancient experiences for these industries was merely small-scale farming and animal husbandry.
The small farming economy was very fragile, with low production; rapid development necessitated the reliance on modern technology and management methods.
The path taken by Mr. Li Jiang was exploring the large-scale cultivation of Spirit Grass using existing technology and management methods, while Lin Beichen was not idle either.
He had Zhao Weinan help him get a key professorship spot, not just to gain privileges, but to leverage his exceptional Enlightenment to explore another path.
Universities were the best places for research; the students there were purer, and relationships were simpler.
Lin Beichen planned to use his exceptional Enlightenment to build a new research team, pushing the boundaries of future technology.
Scientific and technological advancements have never been driven by one person.
Everyone succeeds on the foundation of countless efforts of those before them, and a team’s strength can greatly alleviate Lin Beichen’s pressure.
While Lin Beichen was contemplating his path ahead, the news of his joining Huadu University quickly spread to the main campus.
The medical school had a new key professor, and he was not even 30 years old.
This news spread rapidly, shaking the entire Huadu University.
Everyone was discussing it, while the old professors beat their chests and lamented repeatedly.
In their eyes, Huadu University was no longer pure; they used to have some dignity, but now, in pursuit of money, they no longer cared about anything.
Recruiting people who bought titles with money was fine, but those people should go to the arts or literature departments.
Bringing a 20-year-old to the Medical School, and giving him preferential treatment, with a key spot, and giving him all the resources of Huadu University.
It was simply absurd.
The young assistants from various schools were extremely furious, forming groups to see the principal and the board, questioning if there were any issues.
With certain people fanning the flames, they quickly learned of Lin Beichen’s whereabouts.
After settling Lin Beichen, Ruan Yunyun returned to her small office, only to find it already full of people. The moment they saw her, they immediately questioned:
"Ruan Yunyun, that kid must have bought his way in, right?"
"Ruan Yunyun, is the new professor handsome?"
Ruan Yunyun had just entered and hadn’t understood the situation, already filled with questions.
"What are you talking about? I don’t understand. Professor Lin is very refined; I don’t know much about him, but he seems to have never been a professor before, still having a student-like manner..."
"Student-like? Could he still be a student? If he’s in his twenties, what else could he be..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowded office erupted.
Seeing the scene before her, a trace of regret flickered in Ruan Yunyun’s heart, and she quickly said,
"You’ve misunderstood, Professor Lin is very insightful, and his views on frontier medical fields are very novel, not like a fraud."
"Ruan Yunyun, you’re still so naïve! Haven’t you been fooled enough?"
An old teacher coldly looked at Ruan Yunyun, his eyes filled with ridicule.
"Back then, everyone knew your mentor had already gone abroad. Only you were still dumbly defending him. If you hadn’t staked your future, would the school have given him three months?
As a result, your mentor used those three months to successfully transfer the funds. Did he ever care about your life or death?"
"As for this Professor Lin, even if he started researching from the womb, how could he become a major figure in medicine at 30? In our field, talent and hard work are both indispensable. How many geniuses have achieved nothing in their lifetime?
How many years has that kid been in school? Without a single paper, yet he becomes a key professor. Do you believe it..."
"Old Chen is right, that’s the truth."
Others nodded one after another.
"These upstarts are simply despicable. They’ve made tons of money riding on trends, enjoying wealth and glory, yet they still want academic decorations for the sake of face. Destroying the academic environment and making the school a mess!"
An old professor sighed bitterly.
Song Weiliang stood aside, silently watching, his expression increasingly disdainful.
Seeing everyone was blaming her, Ruan Yunyun’s eyes revealed a trace of worry.
Carefully recalling, she realized Lin Beichen indeed didn’t have key papers with him.
"Could it be that this Professor Lin is actually a fraud?"
Ruan Yunyun felt a growing unease.
Meanwhile, Lin Beichen had already returned to the dormitory.
"Lin Beichen, have you eaten yet?"
Just as Lin Beichen walked in, a voice came from the bed inside.
Lin Beichen looked towards the voice and saw a simple-looking boy getting up with breakfast beside his bed.
Wei Jingsong.
A simple and honest fellow.
In the entire dormitory, Wei Jingsong was the most sociable and the friendliest.
During dinner yesterday, Wei Jingsong had repeatedly urged him, but Lin Beichen, wanting to rest, had politely declined.
On the bed next to the left, Chen Fangzhi was studying thick mathematical materials, an 800-degree glasses perched on his nose. Chen Fangzhi was shaking his head and murmuring, clearly studying diligently.
As for the dormitory’s other person, the playboy Liu Yunxi, there was no sign of him. His bed was clean, just as it had been the night before, clearly he hadn’t come back the whole night.
The four people in the dormitory were just passing acquaintances. Lin Beichen nodded to Wei Jingsong, politely declining his offer for food, and turned back to his desk.
Having secured the professorship, the only issue left was to prepare the team and officially start the research project.
"Here in Huadu, it’s spring all year round, the environment is suitable, and the best for cultivating Spirit Grass.
The next step is to arrange the site, the environment should be similar to Medicine Immortal Pavilion, remote and surrounded by mountains, convenient for gathering Spiritual Qi.
But the area should be ten times larger than Medicine Immortal Pavilion, enough for Spirit Grass cultivation and for future expansion of a spirit pet breeding base."
"The Withering and Prosperity Body is good at stirring Earth and Wood Spiritual Qi, both perfect for herb cultivation.
But if it’s just me, even working endlessly, I could only cultivate 100 acres. The best way is to find a technique to combine fertilizers with Spirit Grass, developing Spirit Grass cultivating fertilizers.
This way, even without my temporary care, Spirit Grass could still get enough nutrients and Spiritual Qi, though fertilizers vary; how much Spiritual Qi can be combined has no precedent, and I’ll have to research it myself."
