Chapter 262: Walking the Nine Mountains’ Unique Immortal Cultivation Road

"Fairy Xiao, thank you very much."

Zheng Fa handed several books in his hand to Xiao Yuying.

The book is some popular science about electromagnetism, um, popular science for children.

This was carefully selected by him.

It's not that Zheng Fa was stingy. After being in contact with Xiao Yuying for such a long time, he already had a deep understanding of her level of knowledge...

These books, I'm afraid...

Xiao Yuying flipped through the book excitedly, frowning slightly, and muttered, "This secret method is indeed profound..."

really!

"Fairy Xiao, you are welcome to visit the Nine Mountains Realm again in the future."

These days, Zheng Fa was busy giving lectures to Senior Sister Zhang and had no time to copy books for Xiao Yuying.

This person didn't rush him, which made Zheng Fa a little grateful.

"Are you really not planning on leaving the Nine Mountains Realm?"

Xiao Yuying said in surprise.

"Um."

In fact, even without the threat of the Great Freedom Demon Cult, Zheng Fa had little interest in going out.

Xiao Yuying frowned, and the books in her hands disappeared in a flash.

She hesitated for a long time before speaking: "Friend Zheng Daoyou, you have a very promising future."

"Um?"

Zheng Fa was stunned, not knowing why she suddenly said this.

Xiao Yuying's next sentence made Zheng Fa understand.

"But cultivation doesn't work if you stay behind closed doors."

"Fairy Xiao."

"Do you know what I have seen the most among all these secret realms?"

"What?"

"Those monks who have been in seclusion for a long time and have no contact with the outside world may go astray or have no hope for the future, and eventually die."

Zheng Fa nodded slightly.

"But many times, I have seen in the secret realms of my time or the caves of my predecessors that the problems that those people were struggling to solve had already been solved by their predecessors... It's just that they were isolated from the news or were confined to their own sects and didn't know."

Xiao Yuying turned to look at Zheng Fa and said, "This is true for cultivators and sects. Closing off may bring temporary safety, but it will often lead to decline."

"Of course, it is a good thing that you can enter the Nine Mountains Realm. Now that the Great Freedom Demon Sect has emerged, Xuanwei will face a great disaster. The Nine Mountains Realm is of course a good thing."

“But from my point of view, the time of great calamity is also the time when heroes emerge and various immortal arts explode.”

"Your talent should not be wasted."

After Xiao Yuying finished speaking, she nodded to Zheng Fa and disappeared in the Nine Mountains Realm.

Zheng Fa bowed towards the place where Xiao Yuying disappeared. He was actually quite grateful for Xiao Yuying's reminder - in his opinion, Xiao Yuying actually had the thinking of a historian.

Even Zheng Fa agreed with the other party's observation.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about Venerable Tianhe - the idea of ​​his innate magic weapon probably came from the Shinto law of his predecessors.

What's more, war years are often the times when weapons advance the fastest. During the chaos in the world of immortal cultivation, various cultivators verify each other's knowledge and various secret techniques are integrated. The immortal techniques should indeed progress much faster.

It's really amazing that Xiao Yuying has this understanding.

I'm afraid he really meant well by saying this to Zheng Fa.

…

After seeing Xiao Yuying off, Zheng Fa walked towards Hongqiao.

Today, the Tiangong has been divided into nine major blocks by Zheng Fa, each with a main island.

The island where the Tiangong is located is connected to the other eight islands by rainbow bridges.

Among them, there is an island that Zheng Fa specially reserved for Yuanying Zhenren to live in.

He hadn't thought of this before, and it was Han Qi who reminded him -

Zheng Fa didn't know whether Senior Sister Zhang and the others would mind if they really had to live together.

But Han Qi and other grassroots disciples are very concerned...

The place where Senior Sister Zhang lived was actually the palace of a certain god. It was already dilapidated, but it was slightly renovated now, so it was not inappropriate for people to live there.

Zheng Fa chose this palace for Senior Sister Zhang to live in, mainly because the palace was halfway up the mountain and there was a beautiful mountain lake nearby - Senior Sister Zhang loved water very much.

He walked to the lakeside, and the reflection of the palace in the lake was clearly visible, and his heart suddenly calmed down.

The battle two days ago seemed like a very distant thing.

As soon as he walked into Senior Sister Zhang’s bedroom, his eyes widened.

Senior Sister Yuan was leaning against Senior Sister Zhang's bed, kneading Senior Sister Zhang's face...

Senior Sister Zhang was seriously injured this time. She was unconscious for several days and her breath was weak.

She was lying on the bed, her complexion was pale, and her face showed a fragility that Zheng Fa had never seen before.

Of course - at this time, Senior Sister Zhang's cheeks were a little red from being pinched by Senior Sister Yuan.

Seeing Zheng Fa coming in, Senior Sister Yuan coughed lightly and withdrew her hand hesitantly.

"Senior sister pinched me when I was a child..." Senior Sister Yuan seemed to be explaining, "I am just repaying you."

The more she talked, the more Sister Yuan's head became more excited, as if her words made a lot of sense.

Zheng Fa couldn't help but laugh.

Senior Sister Yuan looked worried every day for the past two days. How could she dare to do such a thing?

It can be seen that he relaxed.

“How does it feel?”

he asked suddenly.

"ah?"

Zheng Fa suddenly stretched out his hand, pinched Senior Sister Zhang's face, then withdrew his fingers and gently rubbed his fingertips.

He also said, "Very good."

“Is that so?” When Senior Sister Yuan saw that Zheng Fa had also done it, she immediately reached out and grabbed Senior Sister Zhang’s face and said, “When has Senior Sister Zhang ever been so obedient? How can she be the only one allowed to bully me? Today I…”

"Senior Sister Zhang!"

Zheng Fa suddenly said.

Senior Sister Yuan was stunned for a moment and slowly turned her head.

Senior Sister Zhang opened her eyes and silently looked at her hand on her face.

The expression was calm... scary.

“Senior Sister!” Senior Sister Yuan was startled and immediately retracted her claws, smiling awkwardly, “Junior Brother Zheng also pinched it!”

"...I pinched it." Zheng Fa looked at Senior Sister Yuan, hesitated to speak, and then sighed.

A helpless look on his face.

“…”

Senior Sister Zhang glanced at him, turned her head, and stared at Senior Sister Yuan, her eyes full of distrust.

Senior Sister Yuan: “???”

…

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"It's right to shrink." Senior Sister Zhang said frankly, "Now it's not just the problem of the Great Freedom Demon Sect. My injuries won't heal for a year or two."

Zheng Fa frowned and asked, "Is it that serious?"

"The master's true body... seems to have been destroyed." Senior Sister Zhang explained softly, "If it weren't for that Blood River Patriarch who broke through the mountain protection formation and allowed me to see the master's true strength, I wouldn't be able to achieve the power of a spirit."

"The truth about the ancestor?"

"We are right. The present Patriarch is actually the Patriarch's spiritual treasure - a special spiritual treasure. This spiritual treasure is composed of the great formation, the Nine Mountains, and the spiritual veins in the Nine Mountains. Therefore, the ancestor's body was destroyed, but the present Patriarch was not affected much."

"I used myself as a medium to connect the current ancestor with the Mountain and River True Shape Talisman, and replaced the missing self of the ancestor with the current ancestor, so that he has the strength of transformation into a god."

"But my soul is too weak to control this power..."

Zheng Fa also understood why Senior Sister Zhang was so seriously injured.

This method was something she came up with temporarily and was not perfect.

What's more, if she wants to control such a strong power, she only needs to cultivate for a year or two, and the cost is not small.

What Senior Sister Zhang said makes a lot of sense.

On the one hand, Senior Sister Zhang’s strength has been greatly reduced.

On the other hand, Zheng Fa's Sun and Moon Bell and the magic sword were in a stalemate.

Neither of the two "transformed gods" of Jiushan Sect can fight.

So why waste time? "Senior Sister Zhang, can Jiushan move in?"

Zheng Fa considered this matter extremely important.

This is a plug-in for the transformation of gods!

"It should be possible." Senior Sister Zhang pondered, "If the master's body is still there, I have no way to deal with it - different ways of incarnation will attack each other until one side is completely destroyed."

"But the situation is much better now that the Grandmaster is gone."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Fa thought of the magic sword.

I'm afraid that the consciousness of the Blood River Ancestor is still in the immortal sword, so he is still struggling.

"So, the natal spiritual treasure is extremely important to the God Transformation."

Senior Sister Zhang nodded and said, "Venerable Tianhe is truly amazing. The Qiyun Lingbao in the Divine Dao Law was originally a trap left by the predecessors. The more you practice, the more you become like others. I didn't expect that it would be transformed by him and now become the key to awakening yourself."

After hearing this, Zheng Fa suddenly realized something.

"The more I cultivate, the more I become like others..." He muttered, "My natal spirit treasure actually backs up and stores my true nature. When it is transformed by spiritual energy, I use it to cultivate into someone else? But this other person is my original self? This idea is quite amazing..."

Senior Sister Zhang also nodded after hearing this.

This thing sounds like a system reinstall!

Or rather - anchor?

The magical treasure of luck is like an anchor for the return of some powerful people.

That natal spiritual treasure also seemed to be an anchor for returning to one’s nature.

“If there were no luck and spiritual treasure, I’m afraid that Venerable Tianhe would not be able to create such an amazing method.”

Senior Sister Zhang sighed.

Zheng Fa remembered what Xiao Yuying said.

He said, "Senior Sister Zhang, what Xiao Yuying said is not without reason. Although we are now relying on the Nine Realms to take shelter, if we cling to our shortcomings and do not make progress, we will eventually perish."

Senior Sister Zhang looked at him and motioned for him to continue.

"Senior Sister Zhang, after all the disciples are settled, I want to change the rules of the Jiushan Sect."

"How do I change it?"

Senior Sister Zhang just asked.

"I want to change Lun Fu Pavilion. On the one hand, we must prohibit internal fighting. On the other hand, we must rewrite the textbooks, put aside our sectarian prejudices, and teach our fellow disciples some of the previous achievements, whether they are Uncle Pang's or our own research results."

"The General Affairs Pavilion must also change. I want all of you fellow disciples to promote the results of our research in the mortal world and educate the reserve talents we need - in order to gain incense and promote the birth of spiritual plants."

After hearing these two points, Senior Sister Zhang nodded slightly, and didn't seem to have any objection.

"Senior Sister Zhang, I want to encourage my disciples to conduct various research and give them rewards."

Zheng Fa's words made Senior Sister Zhang frown slightly.

"How to reward?"

"On the one hand, they can give various honors - for example, if an outer disciple has achieved certain research results, he can be granted the treatment of an inner disciple. And if an inner disciple has achieved results, he can be granted the treatment of a true disciple, or even the honor of an elder."

Zheng Fa also thought about this matter for a while.

"On the other hand, there are naturally physical rewards - whether it's the spiritual materials in the medicine garden or the resources in the sect, they should all be tilted towards this aspect."

Senior Sister Zhang pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly and said, "You mean, in addition to cultivation and talent, we should establish another path for smart people?"

"yes."

This is what Zheng Fa has been hesitating about. This is to establish an evaluation system that is very different from the traditional Xuanwei world, and at the same time change the allocation of resources - to be honest, brains are not the same as talent, such as Senior Sister Yuan...

In order to develop, he had to improve the status of researchers.

But this matter is actually difficult for people to understand.

He first talked to Senior Sister Zhang, naturally wanting to win her support.

Moreover, Senior Sister Zhang has more management experience than himself, and he also wants Senior Sister Zhang to help him fill in the gaps.
