Chapter 177 Feelings

After all, Senior Sister Zhang was a self-controlled person. The emotion on her face was only fleeting. She just shook her head and said to Zheng Fa and the others, "This Xuanguan Mirror was given to my master in old times. It cannot be taken out without a Nascent Soul."

“Nascent Soul…” Senior Sister Yuan blurted out, “Nascent Soul is so difficult…”

Seeing that Senior Sister Zhang was silent, she seemed to feel that she had said something wrong, and added: "Fortunately, Senior Sister Zhang, you are extremely talented! Things that are difficult for others must not be difficult for you!"

"No, it's harder for me than for others." Senior Sister Zhang said softly, "I practiced too fast in my early years, and now I have to pay the price."

Even Zheng Fa couldn't help but nod his head at this.

He had heard about Sister Zhang's experience:

Even if it is just a spiritual root, it would take at least two to three years to build the foundation, but Senior Sister Zhang entered the foundation building process in less than a year.

When she achieved the golden elixir, she had only been in the Tao for ten years.

As a result, his reputation soared and he was regarded as the number one person below the Nascent Soul stage in the Hundred Immortals Alliance.

But for the next eighty or ninety years, she was stuck in the Jindan stage and made no progress.

She hid in the Xuanguanjian, and although she avoided the pursuit of the Yuanyings of the Great Freedom Demon Sect, she also forced herself into a desperate situation where she could not get out until she achieved the Yuanying.

“Zheng Fa, you have to remember… you must be cautious when building your foundation.” Although she was in a difficult situation, Senior Sister Zhang warned Zheng Fa: “I didn’t have much experience back then, and I was walking a path that no one had walked before. I didn’t understand many things, and I was young at the time, and I was dazzled by the reputation of being the first genius of the Hundred Immortals Alliance.”

"Later, when I realized that the foundation-building method of the Way of Talismans had not been perfected, I consulted ancient books and learned that if a perfect path was truly created, there would be strange phenomena in heaven and earth."

“…Vision?”

Zheng Fa couldn't help but feel puzzled when he heard this.

“Not many people know about this.” Senior Sister Zhang explained, “The spiritual energy has declined at least five times. No one knows the origin of the practice method. It may have been perfected before the previous catastrophe, so the people who create the Tao are extremely rare. In these two catastrophes, there is only one person who really created a unique practice method——”

Zheng Fa's mouth twitched.

He had already guessed who it was.

"It is recorded in ancient books that after Venerable Tianhe formed the elixir, he created the method of forming the life treasure. Now it has become the number one method of forming the infant in the Xuanwei world. At that time, the Heavenly Dao was sensitive to it, and the whole Xuanwei world was filled with strange phenomena. Venerable Tianhe then said that when the Dao is born, strange phenomena will appear."

Sure enough, you are everywhere, Venerable Tianhe! "When I used the "Talisman Dao Foundation Building Method" to condense the Dao foundation, there was no strange phenomenon - perhaps because the Talisman Dao Foundation Building Method is just a foundation building method."

"But it is also possible that the Yuan Fu Dao that I condensed is flawed and cannot be considered a complete path." Senior Sister Zhang sighed softly: "It's a pity that I only understand it now."

"One wrong step in cultivation always leads to many wrong steps." Senior Sister Zhang continued to instruct Zheng Fa, "I still don't see the way to condense the Nascent Soul. Even if I condense the Nascent Soul, I'm afraid there will be some difficulties in the future. Zheng Fa, if you don't want to be like me, you must be more cautious when building your foundation."

Seeing that she is still reminding herself even now.

Zheng Fa couldn't help but interrupt her and said, "Senior Sister, are you sure about forming a baby?"

"..." Senior Sister Zhang was silent for a while and said, "The life span of a golden elixir is a thousand years. I still have nine hundred years. There is no rush."

“…”

This seems to be a confident statement.

In fact, I have no confidence at all.

The lifespan of people who practice Qigong in the Xuanwei Realm is not much different from that of ordinary people, only about a hundred years.

After building the foundation, one can live up to three hundred years.

The golden elixir is a thousand years old.

Nascent Soul is a big leap. I heard that the Sect Leader is already about ten thousand years old.

But... these are all ideal lifespans.

As far as Zheng Fa knows, there are very few monks who can die of natural causes.

Senior Sister Zhang is now relying on the Lei Chi to save her life. Now that the Heavenly Monument has appeared, the Lei Chi might also encounter some changes. With the Great Freedom Demon Sect at the side, if the Lei Chi can no longer protect Senior Sister Zhang, it is questionable whether she can live for another 900 years.

Even if he could survive, the flaws in the golden elixir could not be fixed by age.

Given Senior Sister Zhang’s personality, if she was truly sure, she wouldn’t answer the question in such an irrelevant way.

"Senior Sister Zhang, I have a guess about the Yin-Yang Yuan Fu..."

At this time, we can only hope that the Yin-Yang Yuan Fu can bring some inspiration to Senior Sister Zhang.

Senior Sister Zhang couldn't help but be excited, with an expectant look on her face, and listened carefully to Zheng Fa's story.

"Chirality?"

"Mirror image?"

After Zheng Fa finished speaking, Senior Sister Zhang closed her eyes and thought for a while, as if she was simulating something inside her body.

After a long time, she nodded and shook her head gently, with a hint of disappointment in her calm face.

"I understand the handedness now." Senior Sister Zhang said to Zheng Fa, "The Yin-Yang symbol does correspond to the right hand and the left hand."

"But the mirror image...is not very accurate."

Zheng Fa nodded slightly. He also realized this that day: "Only speaking of the five elements, the Yin-Yang symbol is a mirror image of each other, but the symbol is divided into three sub-symbols."

"The other two types of sub-symbols are different in the Yin-Yang diagram and cannot be considered as mirror images."

For example, among the Yuan Fu condensed by Zheng Fa, the talisman for the negative earth element is the upright shadowless talisman, and the talisman for the positive earth element is the awakening spirit talisman.

The only common structure between the two is the Earth Element Symbol.

The other two types of sub-characters are not the same at all.

It is far-fetched to regard them as mirror images.

Senior Sister Zhang nodded slightly, and seeing the depressed look on Zheng Fa's face, she suddenly smiled and said, "The theory of mirror image may not be wrong."

"Well, I just didn't help Senior Sister."

Zheng Fa whispered.

The last time the theory of the Five Elements was proposed, Senior Sister Zhang made progress.

But now I don’t seem to have any inspiration.

"No, you're fine." Senior Sister Zhang suddenly said, "Zheng Fa, do you know what I thought of when I sealed myself into the Xuanguanjian?"

"What?"

"I am thankful." Senior Sister Zhang said softly, "I am thankful that I went to the Zhao residence that time."

"Thank goodness I introduced you to the Jiushan Sect."

"I'm glad that I passed on the "Talisman Foundation Building Method" to you."

Zheng Fa was stunned when he heard Senior Sister Zhang continue to say:

"So I met you, so Jiushan Sect has the most suitable future leader, and the "Talisman Foundation Building Method" has the best successor."

Senior Sister Zhang was particularly talkative today.

Zheng Fa felt a little depressed, but didn't know what to say.

“Zheng Fa, even Venerable Tianhe died, how can I escape? But if you really perfect the ‘Talisman Foundation Building Method’ in the future, the world will know that there was once a Zhang Wuyi in this Xuanwei Realm.” Senior Sister Zhang said softly.

"The Thunder Pond is dangerous, you two should go back first." Seeing the two of them were silent, Senior Sister Zhang sighed softly and said, "I'm fine in this Xuanguanjian for the time being. Zheng Fa, why don't you go to the Heavenly Monument first? You don't have to come here every day."

"Besides, I also want to practice."

When she said this, her face was unusually calm.

After hearing what she said, Zheng Fa and others could only look at each other and say goodbye.

…

The next day.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Senior Sister Zhang was sitting under the Xuanguan mirror practicing, and she saw the figures of Senior Sister Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Yuan from afar.

"Didn't I tell you two to stay away?"

A faint smile flashed across Senior Sister Zhang's lips, and she asked again.

"I'm here to keep you company!" Senior Sister Yuan said in a sticky tone, "Besides, I'm not a thunder practitioner, so what does the Heavenly Stele have to do with me?"

Senior Sister Yuan has always had a simple mind, and perhaps because of this, her cultivation is actually not slow.

Senior Sister Zhang shook her head and looked at Zheng Fa standing beside her.

Zheng Fa took out several thick books from his storage bag.

The cover of the book had some book titles that even Senior Sister Zhang couldn’t understand.

"Senior High School Mathematics", "Mathematical Analysis", "Topology"...

Seeing her puzzled look, Zheng Fa said, "Sister, these are some research methods that may be related to talismans. I think they may be of some help to you."

The most helpful theory in studying runes is definitely topology.

But topology itself requires some prerequisite knowledge.

For example, the most basic point set topology requires a foundation in mathematical analysis. Although mathematical analysis is an introductory course in university mathematics departments, it does not seem to require any foundation.

But in fact, you need to understand some basic knowledge of functions and set theory.

Zheng Fa’s book “High School Mathematics Volume” contains some relevant prerequisite knowledge.

Senior Sister Zhang's eyes sparkled and a smile appeared on her face.

"Is this similar to your previous secret techniques?"

"These are more essential contents." Zheng Fa opened the book and said, "Before, those were just methods. Now, these are the foundations for those methods."

Senior Sister Zhang nodded slightly, her face showing great interest.

Even Senior Sister Yuan came over with a curious look on her face.

"First, we need to understand the classification of numbers..."

Zheng Fa opened the book and preached slowly.

…

Two hours later, Zheng Fa had just entered the function part of high school - Senior Sister Yuan couldn't stand it anymore.

She looked at Zheng Fa's opening and closing mouth with confused eyes, and resistance slowly emerged on her face, as if her brain had developed a self-protection instinct.

"I..." She suddenly said, "I'll go to the Heavenly Monument and take a look!"

“…”

Zheng Fa and the others turned to look at her. She whispered, "I suddenly felt something in my heart. That monument is destined to be with me!"

"Sister, didn't you say that you don't practice thunder magic?" Zheng Fa asked.

"Who can explain the interaction between heaven and man?" Senior Sister Yuan shouted as she ran, "Senior Sister Zhang, I will come to accompany you after Junior Brother Zheng finishes his talk!"

Seeing her fleeing figure, Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang looked at each other, shook their heads and chuckled.

"Junior Sister Yuan is indeed not very knowledgeable about this. Please continue!"

Senior Sister Zhang's eyes were full of energy, as if what Zheng Fa said was not only not difficult for her, but made her find it extremely interesting.

"Okay, let's look at some basic functions first..."

One speaks, the other listens.

After all, they were both cultivators, and when they were really absorbed in their practice, they forgot about time.

After Zheng Fa finished teaching "High School Mathematics", he moved on to the second half of "Mathematical Analysis".

He was a little fascinated. He had learned this from the old man before, but this was the first time he tried to output and explain this knowledge himself.

There are actually some different experiences.

"Junior Brother Zheng?" Senior Sister Zhang suddenly said.

"Um?"

"Do you want to go to the Heavenly Monument as well?"

"……ah?"

"I suddenly have a feeling that this heavenly monument is meant for you." Senior Sister Zhang pinched her forehead, seeming to have a headache, but her face was full of sincerity.

I have a connection with that thing, do you have a sense of it?

This sounds even more outrageous than the reason why Senior Sister Yuan ran away.

Seeing the fear in Sister Zhang's eyes when she looked at the book in his hand, Zheng Fa understood:

This knowledge should not be imparted too much at one time, it must be imparted in moderation.

For example, Senior Sister Zhang was filled up...
