Chapter 142 Flying

Zheng Fa never thought that Zhao Jinglan would come to find him in the dead of night.

He is practicing in the quiet room.

Then I heard a gentle knock on the door.

He originally thought it was the Seventh Young Master, but when he opened the door, he saw Zhao Jinglan looking at him at the door. Seeing that he seemed to want to speak, she put her index finger to her lips and made a gesture to him to keep quiet.

Zheng Fa glanced at the guest room and realized that she probably had something she didn't want the Seventh Young Master to hear.

He gently opened the door, invited Zhao Jinglan in, threw a silent note at the door, and then said, "Senior Sister Zhao, do you want to talk to me about something?"

Zhao Jinglan also looked back at the guest room where the Seventh Young Master lived. Seeing that there seemed to be no movement there, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"When I mentioned Taiyang County yesterday, I saw your expression. I think you also know what happened in Taiyang County?"

"I know. The spirit cave has appeared." Zheng Fa nodded.

Zhao Jinglan nodded slightly and said, "Then you also know what I'm going to do, right?"

"...Rob the spirit stone mine?"

Zheng Fa's tone was hesitant, and he seemed unsure about his answer.

Zhao Jinglan curled his lips: "Am I going to die?"

Zheng Fa nodded. Even Sister Zhang, who had a golden elixir comparable to that of a Nascent Soul, was so cautious at the Lingshi Mine.

Zhao Jinglan is just a foundation-building person.

You'd be crazy to even think about this.

"When a spirit cave is unearthed, there are not only spirit stone mines, but also some other spirit materials." He seemed to be really ignorant: "Of course I have nothing to do with those precious ones, but I still have a chance to get those of low value."

"...Senior Sister, you didn't tell the Seventh Young Master about this, did you?"

Zheng Fa silenced Zhao Jinglan with just one sentence.

They both knew the loophole in Zhao Jinglan's words -

Yes, those big shots are going for those high-value spiritual materials.

But as the saying goes, it's already here.

It’s not like their storage bag is too full to hold them, so why not take the low-value spiritual materials?

Zheng Fa also read a short article in modern times about a billionaire who picked up coins that fell on the ground. Don’t worry about whether it is true or not. Aren’t those big shots allowed to save money?

What's more, spiritual plants are becoming increasingly scarce and have great potential for appreciation.

Who would complain about having too much of this stuff?

"Junior brother, I'm not as lucky as you." Zhao Jinglan bowed his head for a long time before speaking: "As soon as you entered the sect, you were favored by Senior Sister Zhang and accepted as a disciple by the headmaster."

"I have been a disciple for ten years and have only just established my foundation. I don't have as good a talent for talismans as you do. My talent for alchemy, which is the most valued in the Qingmu Sect, is also average."

"If I don't take risks, I might end up here in my life."

Zheng Fa understood.

Compared to Han Qi, Zhao Jinglan was much luckier - although it was difficult for her to build her foundation, she did it after all.

But the unfortunate thing is that compared to Han Qi, she can see hope, but this hope is so slim that sometimes it is worse than seeing no hope at all.

"If Jingfan wasn't up to the task, I wouldn't have taken the risk..." Zhao Jinglan suddenly talked about the Seventh Young Master again: "But Jingfan now has the protection of Master Jindan, so it doesn't make much difference whether I, a foundation-building sister, have him or not."

"If the spirit cave hadn't been revealed, I would have left the sect to look for my own opportunity after Jingfan had established his foundation." Zhao Jinglan raised his eyes and looked at Zheng Fa: "Junior Brother Zheng, for me, the only thing I can risk in this Xuanwei Realm is my life."

Zheng Fa looked at Zhao Jinglan and was speechless for a moment.

"So why is Senior Sister Zhao here?"

"Jingfan and you are close friends, I only ask one thing of you..."

"I'll take care of it..."

"If I really die in Taiyang County, you stop Dian Jingfan and don't let him act impulsively... I think there are not many people in the world who can stop him." Zhao Jinglan made a request that even Zheng Fa did not expect.

"..." Zheng Fa pursed his lips and asked, "Is Taiyang County so dangerous?"

"I don't know either. There are just rumors that someone from the Great Freedom Demon Cult has appeared."

The Great Freedom Demon Sect? Zheng Fa slowly frowned.

Senior Sister Zhang never told him about this.

He now understood why Senior Sister Zhang seemed to be in trouble even with her level of cultivation—the Great Freedom Demon Sect, the oldest branch of the demon sect.

How ancient is it?

It is rumored that the group of ancient monks who killed all the people in the world were their predecessors.

In a sense, the people in the Xuanwei Realm today are probably all their descendants.

Of course, now everyone is in a state of looking down on each other.

The cultivators in the Xuanwei Realm felt that it was not nice to have such an ancestor.

The Great Freedom Demon Cult felt that these weaklings were not worthy of having anything to do with them.

No wonder Senior Sister Zhang seems a little tricky.

"Then Senior Sister Zhao, you..." Zheng Fa wanted to persuade her again.

"Junior Brother Zheng, the opportunity for the spirit cave to appear is too great..."

Zhao Jinglan's eyes lit up, and there seemed to be flames burning in his pupils.

Zheng Fa stopped talking and left the Zhao Mansion. Only then did he understand the eldest daughter of the Zhao family - after ten years of hard work, she had become a typical Xuanwei world cultivator:

Pursue opportunities recklessly.

Sacrifice your life and forget about death to improve your realm.

Every time we acquire resources, we pay with sweat and even blood.

Seeing Zheng Fa, he seemed to understand.

Zhao Jinglan smiled softly and repeated, "Junior Brother Zheng, not everyone is as lucky as you."

For a moment, the room fell silent.

There was another gentle knock on the door.

The Seventh Young Master sneakily opened the door and whispered, "Zheng Fa? Zheng Fa?"

"I don't know what's wrong with my sister today. She keeps asking me to go to bed early."

"I still have a lot to tell you, but my sister is here so it's not convenient for you!"

He stuck his head into the quiet room and saw Zheng Fa and his sister looking at him.

"...Sister?" The Seventh Young Master's eyes suddenly became complicated: "You also have something to tell Zheng Fa behind my back?"

…

The Seventh Young Master and his sister left.

Zheng Fa sat back in the quiet room.

The flame on the candlestick flickered, casting flickering shadows on his face, making his frown appear even deeper.

He was actually not that concerned about Zhao Jinglan looking for him.

Although he doesn't like taking risks, everyone has their own aspirations, and this is Zhao Jinglan's own choice - the most he can do is to appease and even use his influence to protect the Seventh Young Master if something really happens.

What worried him was Senior Sister Zhang.

The name of the Great Freedom Demon Sect is not among the five major sects in the Xuanwei Realm.

In other words, the Demonic Sect was stripped of its ranking - the Xuanwei Realm had been at peace for so many years, making the living environment of the Demonic Sect a bit harsh.

But this does not mean that the Great Freedom Demon Sect is not strong.

On the contrary, they have been enduring for so many years, and this appearance means that the peace of the Xuanwei Realm will be disrupted.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Senior Sister Yuan told him before that even if Senior Sister Zhang encountered a Nascent Soul when she went out, she would have means to save her life.

Senior Sister Yuan seemed very relieved at the time.

Because there is a tacit understanding among the major immortal sects now, Yuanying basically does not participate in the fight.

But this tacit understanding has never been written down.

Moreover - what kind of tacit understanding do the Demon Sect have with you? The situation that Senior Sister Zhang will face when she goes to Taiyang County may be more dangerous than Zheng Fa had thought before.

Even without mentioning the care that Senior Sister Zhang gave him.

Take Senior Sister Zhang for example, she is of extraordinary significance to the Jiushan Sect.

Zheng Fa saw it very clearly and abandoned Senior Sister Zhang and the Jiushan Sect.

He is only in the Qi Refining stage now.

I'm afraid he's even worse than Zhao Jinglan.

What's more, if he wants to take advantage of modern times, he must have his own base.

The transformation from research results to practical applications is inseparable from the Jiushan Sect.

His fate is tied to the Jiushan Sect and Senior Sister Zhang.

But Senior Sister Zhang didn’t tell me anything - I was afraid that she looked at me the same way Zhao Jinglan looked at the Seventh Young Master.

The only thing I can really do to help Senior Sister Zhang right now is to improve the "Foundation Building Method of the Way of Talismans".

He took out a Ningyuan Pill and swallowed it.

This was the sixth Yuan Fu he had condensed. Actually, there was nothing good to choose from.

What he was going to condense now was the first positive talisman, which in terms of the five elements was the earth element.

In the "Lingshan Method" revised by the headmaster, he combined his own talisman formation method with the "Lingshan Method" created by the Nine Mountains Patriarch.

In other words, if you want to perform the "Lingshan Method", you need a talisman - the awakening talisman.

The effect of this talisman is not great - it can add a little spiritual power to the plants, rocks and hills that have no spiritual energy.

Generally speaking, cultivators in the Xuanwei Realm use this thing as a mark, for example, to leave a secret code or give directions to fellow travelers.

The head of the sect used this thing to set up an array and perfected the "Lingshan Method".

The Awakening Spirit Talisman quickly fell into the Dantian. In Zheng Fa's consciousness, the Awakening Spirit Talisman's Yuanfu gradually appeared on the lotus that was originally just an illusion.

After a long time, he opened his eyes, took out the jade tube given to him by Uncle Pang, and memorized it carefully.

…

Modern, white old man’s house.

Tang Lingwu assumed the Songhe Posture. Zheng Fa placed his hands on her back and slowly transferred spiritual power into Tang Lingwu's body.

These days, Zheng Fa has been helping Tang Lingwu and Old Man Bai practice the Linghe Body.

Perhaps because of her youth, Tang Lingwu was much faster than old man Bai.

Zheng Fa put one hand on Tang Lingwu's back, still thinking about Senior Sister Zhang.

Of course, he hoped that he could further analyze the talisman and provide the greatest help to Senior Sister Zhang.

But he didn't have much confidence in this matter - thinking of this, his face looked a little worried.

The old white man on the side looked at the two of them.

Tang Lingwu was immersed in meditation.

On the contrary, Zheng Fa was distracted and looked worried.

"Zheng Fa? What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking that our research on the talisman is still progressing too slowly."

Zheng Fa sighed and said.

"Slow?" The old man was stunned and said, "I've never seen you in a hurry before?"

Zheng Fa shook his head. He knew that research could not be rushed, but in the current situation, it was difficult for him to adjust his mindset.

I saw the old white man looking at me in confusion.

Zheng Fa sighed and said, "I want to help someone?"

"Help someone?" the old man asked, "Is it someone very important?"

“It’s very important to me.”

"...Male or female?" The old man touched his chin and suddenly asked again.

“…Female.”

Zheng Fa looked at the old man in confusion. What does this have to do with men and women?

The old man curled his lips and looked at Tang Lingwu who was still pretending to concentrate on her cultivation. Could this ear be a little more crooked?

Suddenly, Tang Lingwu's shoulder blades moved, and her plump legs under her jeans pushed the ground hard, and she jumped towards the ceiling of the old man's house.

Fortunately, Zheng Fa was quick-witted and grabbed Tang Lingwu's ankle - otherwise this girl would have to risk her head to test the quality of this old residential building.

"Is this...jealousy?"

The old man stared blankly at Tang Lingwu who opened her eyes blankly and muttered.
