Chapter 102 No Regrets

Seeing Zhou Qianyuan's aggrieved look, Zheng Fa was also puzzled: "Junior Brother Zhou... are you in any trouble?"

He really couldn't figure out what this person was trying to do.

You pay people to do things for you.

Of course you can't get anything done without money.

But if you give money without asking for anything, won’t it be even more impossible to get anything done?

"I just want to learn some spells from you!"

Zhou Qianyuan said sullenly.

"That's it?"

Zheng Fa looked at the forty spirit stones in his hand and was quite surprised - are there people in the Xuanwei Realm who respect knowledge so much?

It’s not that he thinks the talisman technique inherited from Bai Yuanying is worthless.

But the current situation in this world is that spirit stones are precious and knowledge is relatively cheap.

Especially the knowledge of talismans.

Think about Han Qi and the other two.

Just because he raised the price of "Zhang Zhenren's Discussion on Talismans" by two taels of gold, he disrupted the textbook market.

Now everyone has compensated him.

"Who said that learning talismans from me requires so many spirit stones?"

"Young Master Zhao...what's his name?" Zhou Qianyuan seemed to have a bad memory: "Oh, Zhao something-something-fan. He said he learned all the magic from you."

"What did he say?"

Zheng Fa calmed down.

"In order to learn talisman techniques from you, he gave you a lot of spirit stones." Zhou Qianyuan's memory seemed to be quite good again: "You also had to work like a slave, be humble and submissive, and endure all kinds of grievances..."

What kind of cram school gold medal sales? Looking at Zhou Qianyuan, Zheng Fa was still a little confused: "Do you believe everything he says?"

"I don't really believe it..." Zhou Qianyuan looked at the box in his hand: "But is there any mistake in sending money?"

Han Qi and the other two all shook their heads behind their backs.

Zheng Fa also had to remain silent.

This makes a lot of sense! "Senior Brother Zheng..." Zhou Qianyuan pushed the box in his hand and handed it to Zheng Fa.

Zheng Fa was silent for a long time before he said, "Junior Brother Zhou, you are a Nascent Soul disciple, why do you need to come to me to learn? Our two lineages..."

"My master agreed."

"ah?"

Han Qi and the other two looked at each other again.

Pass it on, Master Pang felt that Zheng Fa was better at teaching disciples than himself.

"Master said that his art of talismans is not afraid of being better than... Senior Sister Zhang or you, as long as you want to learn, just learn. Only after learning will you know that he is right." Zhou Qianyuan said softly.

“…”

Zheng Fa had never met Master Pang. In fact, because of the conflict between the two lineages, he did not have a good impression of him.

But at this moment, I also admire the other person's broad-mindedness.

"Then in the Talisman Pavilion..."

Thinking of the scene of swinging the talisman that day, Zheng Fa still couldn't understand it.

"Master said that if no one is going to die, then we don't need to worry about it."

Zhou Qianyuan seemed to know what he wanted to ask and spoke directly.

Zheng Fa was speechless when he saw the expressions on Han Qi and the other two's faces, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

He had guessed many reasons why the top leaders allowed the two factions to fight.

For example, to prepare for the future chaos in the immortal sect - well, practice practical combat skills.

For example, using this kind of controllable fight to vent the resentment in the hearts of the lower-level disciples.

Or maybe, they were really verifying each other's strengths and weaknesses.

But... don't worry about it?

Zheng Fa looked out the window.

He seemed to see several pairs of condescending eyes above the Nine Mountains, staring at the entire Jiushan Sect.

It seemed that apart from a few true geniuses, there was no one else in their eyes.

"Junior Brother Zhou, there's no need for the spirit stones. We can have a discussion when we have time in the future."

Zheng Fa pushed the box in front of him over.

"Hmm?" Zhou Qianyuan seemed to understand what Zheng Fa meant and raised his head to look at Zheng Fa.

"I am also very interested in Master Pang's art of talismans." Zheng Fa said, looking into Zhou Qianyuan's eyes.

Zhou Qianyuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed, his tone somewhat meaningful: "Senior brother is greedy... I didn't expect that you actually have such a big ambition in your heart."

Zheng Fa understood what he meant.

For most people in the Qi Refining Stage, forty spirit stones are much more valuable than the knowledge of talismans.

Only those who truly want to pursue the Dao of Fu would make a choice like Zheng Fa - because Zhou Qianyuan himself is such a person, so he understands Zheng Fa's ambition.

Zheng Fa doesn't think he is greedy.

Old Bai guarantees you a Nascent Soul, and it’s a good deal for you to exchange it with Master Pang’s talisman.

"I'll have to ask my master about this."

Zhou Qianyuan took out forty spirit stones without blinking, but Zheng Fa's request made him feel embarrassed.

…

The backyard of Senior Sister Zhang’s house.

Senior Sister Zhang sat cross-legged on a large bluestone beside the waterfall, her eyes slightly closed, as if she was practicing.

Zheng Fa looked at her and couldn't help but sigh in his heart - she still likes playing in the water so much.

"What do you want from me?"

"Junior brother, I would like to ask about the "Talisman Foundation Building Method"."

Senior Sister Zhang opened her eyes and looked at Zheng Fa, but there was a strange emotion in her eyes.

Zheng Fa had never seen such a hesitant expression on her face.

"Have you tempered your Five Thunder Body?"

"yes."

"Three days?"

"……yes."

Zheng Fa knew that it was Senior Sister Yuan who revealed the secret.

“You don’t have to practice the ‘Talisman Foundation Building Method.’” Senior Sister Zhang suddenly said.

"Um?"

Zheng Fa was stunned.

Senior Sister Zhang has always been very caring towards her, just so that Zheng Fa can practice the Fu Dao Foundation Building Method and help her repair the defects of her golden elixir.

Now……

"If you practice the 'Talisman Foundation Building Method', you will face the same difficulties as me in the future." Senior Sister Zhang said in a light tone: "If you don't have the talent to practice the 'Five Thunder Dharma Body', forget it, but you do. Even if you can't practice the 'Divine Sky Controlling Thunder True Method' now, my Jiushan Sect still has many thunder techniques."

Zheng Fa understood what Senior Sister Zhang meant.

What he had shown before was mainly his talent in the art of talismans, so he practiced the "Foundation Building Method of the Art of Talismans".

But now he has shown another talent...

This is probably another form of love for talent by Senior Sister Zhang.

"Senior Sister Zhang?"

"I allow you to make one more choice."

Senior Sister Zhang looked at Zheng Fa with a calm gaze.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

How could I choose another one? Regardless of the help and protection that Senior Sister Zhang had given me, let alone the issue of Senior Sister Zhang's favorability.

Zheng Fa knows better than anyone what his so-called talent is.

Three days of skin hardening?

Probably seven days without the modern one.

What's more, "The Foundation Building Method of the Way of Fu" is a guarantee of safety for Zheng Fa in the modern world.

"Disciple chooses the 'Talisman Foundation Building Method'!"

“Even if there is no way forward, will you not regret it?”

“No regrets!”

Zheng Fa said in a decisive tone.

Senior Sister Zhang's gaze towards him became gentler, yes, gentler than ever before.

Zheng Fa felt a little guilty - it seemed that her senior sister felt that she made this choice for her?

But Senior Sister Zhang didn't say anything, she just changed the subject: "What doubts do you have about the "Talisman Foundation Building Method"? "

"Disciple would like to ask if there are any taboos in choosing the talisman."

This was the point in "The Foundation Building Method of the Way of Talismans" that he could not understand.

Senior Sister Zhang was silent for a while, then suddenly said:

"Watch it!"

"Um?"

Senior Sister Zhang suddenly stood up, and her dress shone with a soft aqua blue light, like rippling water waves, and then swayed... and disappeared! ... I know you are a little touched, but isn't it too exciting to take off your clothes directly? Bad news... Well, the good news is that Senior Sister Zhang's body also turned into a blue transparent outline. He couldn't see anything, but he could only see a composite talisman glowing at the original position of her dantian.

"This is my Yuan Fu Dao Ji." Senior Sister Zhang's voice came from above Zheng Fa's head, and the Yuan Fu Dao Ji slowly turned in front of his eyes.

The shape of this foundation is a bit strange, like two lotus pedestals connected at the bottom. Each lotus pedestal has five lotus petals, and each petal has a talisman painted on it.

"Did you understand anything?"

"Yin Yang and the Five Elements?"

"Yes." Zheng Fa saw the appearance of Senior Sister Zhang. She nodded at him and said, "The choice of the talisman is not important, but the matching of the talismans is very important."

"In my opinion, every talisman has the properties of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. For example, the first talisman I condensed, the Sky Frost Talisman, has the properties of Yin and Water."

Zheng Fa understood what his senior sister meant.

She divided the talismans into yin and yang and the five elements, a total of ten categories.

The negative elements are gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

The positive elements are gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

The foundation-building method of talismans is to choose a talisman from these ten categories and condense it.

As for what kind of symbol is condensed, it doesn’t matter.

Zheng Fa had never heard of this way of classifying talismans before, and he suspected that it was Senior Sister Zhang's original idea.

No... How did Senior Sister Zhang come up with this thing? As if she saw Zheng Fa's confusion, Senior Sister Zhang smiled and asked, "Do you know what kind of Taoist body I am?"

“I don’t know.”

"Yuanling Dao Body." Senior Sister Zhang explained, "I can temporarily transform the spiritual energy in my body into the shape of talismans. This Yuanfu Dao Base is the result of condensing talismans hundreds of times in my body."

Zheng Fa suddenly understood.

He is eager to set up a laboratory in modern times.

Senior Sister Ren Zhang herself is a human laboratory!

envious!

After Zheng Fa asked Senior Sister Zhang for advice on the "Foundation Building Method of the Way of Talismans", he talked about Zhou Qianyuan's matter.

"Uncle Pang?" Senior Sister Zhang nodded, not seeming to care much, "His talisman art is also quite admirable."

"Senior Sister Zhang, I actually don't quite understand what the disagreement is between our two sects?"

"To put it simply, it's about our understanding of the Yuan Fu. My master and I believe that the Yuan Fu is limited." Senior Sister Zhang thought for a moment and explained, "Uncle Pang believes that the Fu Tu is infinite, and the Yuan Fu is also infinite..."

"this……"

How can this thing keep making noise for so many years?

"Do you know why my golden elixir is incomplete?"

"Is it related to this?"

"Yes." Senior Sister Zhang nodded and said, "As long as I can confirm that the Yuan Fu is limited and find all of them, my Jindan will be complete."

“…”

"In essence, the disagreement between Uncle Pang and I is that—"

"I believe that the symbols between heaven and earth must have essential laws that we are not aware of. The great truth is simple. We cannot draw all the symbols because we do not understand the symbols well enough."

"Uncle Pang feels that life is finite but the talisman is infinite. To follow the infinite with the finite is dangerous."

Only then did Zheng Fa understand the essential contradiction between the two veins.

This is a bit like how most scientists believe that there is absolute truth in the world, we just cannot fully understand it.

But some people feel that there are many things in this world that cannot be explained and that there is no absolute truth.

Zheng Fa, which is influenced by modern times, recognizes the former.

But the mysterious and subtle world is not modern after all, so it cannot be generalized.

Senior Sister Zhang finally reminded him, "Master Pang is very unique in the use of talismans. You should learn from him well."

Zheng Fa knew that since Senior Sister Zhang gave him such advice, she probably really regarded him as hers.

…

One month later, Zheng Fa's family.

He took out a Ningyuan Pill, tilted his head back and swallowed it.
