Chapter 271 The Power of Mortals

"Those people run fast..."

The headmaster flew over from a distance, with a somewhat unhappy tone in his voice.

"We are on guard against Zheng Fa!" Uncle Pang rolled his eyes at him and said, "How else could we have lasted this long?"

Zheng Fa looked at the crowd, seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Uncle Huang standing beside him.

"The lady from the Zhao Mansion doesn't want to come."

Uncle Huang seemed to know what he was asking and explained, "She wants to go to Qingmu Sect..."

"Aoki Zong..."

Zheng Fa frowned slightly, feeling a little worried.

He sent a letter to the Seventh Young Master, but received no reply. He was afraid that the Qingmu Sect was not at peace now.

"I do know some news about Qingmu Sect." Uncle Pang said, "Qingmu Sect is now wholeheartedly following Master Tongming. They are considered to be Master Tongming's die-hard fans, so they should be worry-free."

Zheng Fa nodded.

Zheng Fa had also thought about Mrs. Zhao's choice - after all, he was not a member of the Zhao family, and Mrs. Zhao was a strong-willed person, so how could she be willing to join him? Earlier, he thought that if the Seventh Young Master was willing to come to Jiushan Sect, then it would be natural for the Zhao family to come.

Now the Seventh Young Master probably has to follow his own teacher and may not be able to be independent.

He thought about writing a few more letters to the Seventh Young Master, and put the matter aside for the time being, and went into the Nine Mountains Realm with everyone.

The Nine Mountains Realm is now inaccessible to immortals and mortals, so these 300,000 new mortals can only live in the Heavenly Palace.

Fortunately, there were many islands in Tiangong, and Zheng Fa placed them on the largest one.

He frowned slightly - the rules of separation between immortals and mortals in the Nine Mountains Realm were a bit of a hindrance.

He had tried before to teleport rice seeds from the mortal world to the heavenly palace, and it wasn't a big problem.

He even figured out how to give rice seeds to his believers.

But people are another matter...

He is now unable to descend to the mortal world in his true form—the Sun and Moon Clock is severely damaged, and it seems to have lost some of its functions.

Now we can only place these people in the Heavenly Palace.

…

“Is this the new species you cultivated?”

Looking at the clusters of rice seeds in the medicine garden, Uncle Huang and Uncle Pang looked at each other in disbelief.

"Yes, we have spawned many new species in the past few days." Zheng Fa explained: "After everyone is settled, we will distribute the seeds and let them cultivate the fields."

This is also the reason why Zheng Fa did not give the rice seeds to the believers on earth first.

People in the mortal world of the Nine Mountains can still make a living by growing other crops or fishing and hunting, but there are not so many resources in the Heavenly Palace.

Zheng Fa could only leave the rice seeds to the newcomers.

Uncle Huang was silent for a long time before he sighed and said, "I worried for nothing."

"Uncle Master, it takes time to cultivate the land." Zheng Fa said with a smile, "We should store as much food as we can these days."

Uncle Huang nodded, without any difficulty on his face - it might be difficult for a mortal to collect enough food for three hundred thousand people in a year, but for a Nascent Soul, it was not much.

What she was worried about before was how the Nine Mountains Realm could continue to support so many mortals.

If you keep it for a year, then it won't be a big problem.

"It can help them become self-reliant, and it will also lighten our burden."

The head of the sect at the side suddenly said, "If they were not related to my Jiushan Sect, I..."

Zheng Fa was speechless. It was actually his suggestion to take these mortals along.

My master is like all the cultivators in this world. He pays great attention to cultivators, especially talented cultivators, but does not care about mortals.

"Master, mortals... also have their own powers."

Zheng Fa thought about it and spoke.

Compared to Senior Sister Zhang, the three elders might be even less able to understand some of Zheng Fa's ideas.

Sure enough, a hint of doubt appeared on his master's face.

"Master, I am going to give you brothers the first thunder method class..."

"Um?"

"How about you come and listen too?"

"..." The headmaster pointed at himself and asked in surprise: "Me? Listen to your lecture?"

Zheng Fa nodded with a smile.

…

Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang divided the Heavenly Palace into nine large areas. The largest area was inhabited by new mortals, and Senior Sister Zhang named it Paradise Island.

There is also a heavenly palace and a medicine garden, both of which were originally part of the heavenly palace.

As for the previous location of the alchemy room, Zheng Fa also planned to transform it into a place for studying the various arts of immortal cultivation - or in other words, an industrial area.

So, he named the island Jingkai Island! Senior Sister Zhang didn't quite understand, but she just let him do it.

There are two other places, one is the disciples’ living area, and the other is the Nascent Soul living area.

One is the name given by the disciples themselves, called Qiuxian Island.

One was the name given by Senior Sister Yuan, which is surprisingly bold, called Wanxian Island.

Zheng Fa also had plans for two of the remaining three islands.

One is to be used as a commercial area - Zheng and France are not prepared to close the country to the outside world.

On the one hand, he planned to use the existing channels of Yan Wushuang and Baixian League to trade with the outside world.

On the other hand, he also hoped to develop the advantages of the previous market town - such as dramas and various talismans, to attract many monks to consume here.

He even planned to let the Sun and Moon Bell travel around the Xuanwei Realm and become a mobile shopping mall.

Of course, this idea needs to be discussed with Master and Senior Sisters.

But even if the commercial area is not open to the public, it is still necessary to provide entertainment for the disciples and residents in the Nine Mountains Realm.

There is another planned island, which is Zheng Fa’s favorite - University Island.

This island was originally the residence of the Heavenly Lord, and the palace there is extremely magnificent.

Because it had experienced a great war, all the buildings were in ruins.

But according to Zheng Fa's idea, it has been sorted out almost now -

The most central place on University Island is the Sutra Repository.

However, Zheng Fa has now changed the rules of the Sutra Repository - most books can now be borrowed for free.

He wanted to transform the Sutra Library into a modern library, but there were too few books in it now...

It's a bit shabby indeed.

With the library as the center, palaces were converted into classrooms. As the palaces varied in size, the classrooms also varied in size. The largest of them could accommodate thousands of people.

Zheng Fa’s first class was held in the largest classroom.

"My fellow brothers and sisters."

Zheng Fa glanced around the classroom.

Almost all the disciples in the Nine Mountains Realm were listening to the class.

This is of course because Zheng Fa’s status is now very different, and he can be called the master of the Nine Mountains Realm.

On the other hand, it was also because there were four big guys sitting at the back of the classroom——

Sect Leader, Uncle Pang, Uncle Huang, and Sister Zhang.

When the disciples saw this scene, they didn't dare to skip classes at all.

The four Yuanyings of the Nine Mountains Realm are all listening to Zheng Fa’s lecture.

If you don't come, do you think you are more powerful than Yuanying Zhenren?

Zheng Fa glanced at the four Nascent Souls. His own master had the worst expression on his face, but Uncle Master Pang and Uncle Master Huang both looked like they were enjoying a good show.

When apprentices give lectures to their masters, they will laugh at their senior brothers for the rest of their lives.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

…

Zheng Fa shook his head and said to the audience:

"My fellow brothers, the rules of the Nine Mountains Realm are special now. Apart from some magic weapons, we can only use thunder magic."

Everyone in the audience nodded.

This is also the troublesome part of the Nine Mountains Realm.

"So starting from today, I will teach you about thunder magic."

The eyes of the audience lit up.

Zheng Fa paused, and suddenly asked: "Before I start, I want to ask everyone a question."

Senior Sister Zhang leaned back, a look of "as expected" on her face.

Zheng Fadao: "My question is, what is thunder magic?"

Everyone looked at each other.

"Fellow students, please feel free to speak your mind..." Zheng Fa added, "From now on, in my class, I hope you can speak whatever you think of."

“There is no difference in status.”

"There is no difference in cultivation level."

“There is no right or wrong.”

Zheng Fa's words made the disciples in the audience look at each other, feeling a little at a loss.

After a while, Zhou Qianyuan saw that no one answered, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Thunder magic is a kind of magic."

Zheng Fa nodded and said with a smile: "Very good!"

"Thunder magic is a way to defend against enemies!"

"What this senior brother said is also good." Zheng Fa praised.

"The technique to control the sky thunder!"

“That’s a great answer!”

As Zheng Fa praised them, everyone became more enthusiastic.

On the one hand, these disciples had never experienced this kind of class and found it somewhat novel.

There are others... who have never been praised by a talented disciple like Zheng Fa, and have never shown their faces in front of the four Nascent Souls. Now that they have the opportunity, they are willing to do so, hoping to be more valued.

But enthusiasm breeds enthusiasm, and later on, the atmosphere in the classroom became lively.

Behind him, Uncle Huang snorted, "How shameful."

Uncle Pang shook his head and said, "Junior Sister Huang, you don't know. I thought Zheng Fa couldn't teach people, but I didn't expect that he had such a way..."

Uncle Huang glanced at him sideways.

"I've understood this before. Sometimes, it's better to let the disciples think about something for themselves than to repeat it a hundred times... Zheng Fa's move is in line with this principle."

"...Are you good at teaching your disciples?"

"certainly!"

Uncle Huang looked at Senior Sister Zhang and smiled without saying anything.

She didn't say a word, but it was enough to make Uncle Pang grit his teeth.

"Hey? My future apprentice is here!"

He suddenly whispered.

It turned out that Zheng Shan suddenly walked in from the door and stood timidly beside the podium.

Seeing his younger sister coming, Zheng Fa put his palm down and pressed gently.

The classroom immediately fell silent.

"All of you brothers have said very well, so let me summarize everyone's opinions." Zheng Fa said with a smile, "Thunder magic is a magic that controls the power of heavenly thunder."

"This spell can kill enemies, defend, fly, and stimulate the growth of spiritual plants."

"Right?"

Everyone nodded.

"Then I would like to ask, what is the power of heavenly thunder?"

“…”

Everyone was silent. This time, they really didn't know how to answer.

"Also, can magic alone control the power of heavenly thunder?"

“…”

Seeing that they didn't speak, Zheng Fa waved to Zheng Shan.

Zheng Shan's face was full of nervousness, but she walked forward obediently.

"You may recognize her. This is my sister Zheng Shan. She has not yet started practicing." Zheng Fa introduced her, "But what if I say that she can also control the thunder?"

“…”

No one spoke, but judging by their expressions, this silence was probably equivalent to politeness.

There was a look in their eyes that said, "As long as Junior Brother Zheng is happy, that's all."

Zheng Fa nodded towards Zheng Shan. Zheng Shan took out a piece of silk and a long, thin piece of amber and rubbed the silk quickly on the amber.

Her little face turned red, and she seemed to be trying very hard.

Suddenly, an almost invisible flash of lightning flashed by.

The last leader in the classroom suddenly stood up and looked at the silk and amber in Zheng Shan's hands, as if he was really struck by lightning.

"Look everyone, my little sister, a mortal, seems to know thunder magic."
