Chapter 307 Network Conception, Archaeological Preparation

Xiao Yuying stopped talking - to be honest, she had also made a lot of contributions!

Why do we have to distinguish between big and small?

It would be fine if Zheng Fa was the one who put pressure on her, she had really lost before, but Zhang Wuyi...

She is not convinced!

Senior Sister Zhang then said, "If I want to send you a communication talisman, I only need to change these talismans..."

She held the Feixian Pen in her hand, and several golden patterns appeared in the air.

"These symbols actually store spiritual power - your spiritual power, which contains your soul. Only by using this spiritual power to activate the communication symbol can you see the message in the communication symbol."

"Soul..."

Zheng Fa felt a headache when he heard these two words.

He has achieved certain success in his practice so far. In terms of knowledge reserves, he feels that he is at least as good as the average Jindan. He can even be a little more conceited and say that in certain areas, such as mathematics, electromagnetism, and runes, he thinks that many Yuanying cannot compare to him.

But when he heard the word "spirit and soul", he was still a little confused.

Soul... this thing can basically be said to be one of the foundations of a cultivator, but it is also very confusing.

In Zheng Fa's opinion, the cause and nature of this thing are a little more vague than the nature of spiritual energy.

Looking to the side, Xiao Yuying had a pure look on her face...

He couldn't help but feel a little comforted. This person probably didn't understand what was bothering him.

Senior Sister Zhang understood what he meant and nodded, saying, "I didn't pay much attention to the communication rune before, but the more I studied it, the more I found that this rune is more complex and more sophisticated than other runes. If the rune was really created by a person, this person... I'm afraid he is one of the best among those powerful people."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Fa glanced at the God's Name Sub-Character in the communication talisman, but found that he had no impression of this kind of sub-charm - Tang Lingwu had previously concluded that more than half of the God's Name Sub-Characters came from a very small number of powerful beings.

But the creator of the communication symbol is not among those few...

After thinking for a long time, Zheng Fa didn't have much to say, so he had to change the subject and said, "Our cultivation is not enough, so it's too ambitious to say this..."

"Senior Sister, according to what you said, the function of the runes in the communication talisman, to put it simply, is encryption and anti-interference?"

After hearing what he said, Senior Sister Zhang thought for a while and couldn't help but smile: "Junior brother, you summarized it well."

Xiao Yuying blinked. She understood these two words but didn't quite comprehend them.

After all, she was too lazy to listen to other subjects except "Mathematics" and "Electromagnetism".

Zheng Fa understood the principle of the communication talisman a little bit - this thing should essentially use electromagnetic waves to transmit information.

But in the Reiki environment, electromagnetic waves are damaged during propagation.

Therefore, a rune structure that is resistant to interference is needed.

On the other hand, in order to keep it secret or pass it to a fixed monk, a rune structure is also needed to store the corresponding spiritual power.

This is equivalent to a fingerprint lock.

It can only be unlocked by inputting the same spiritual power into the communication talisman.

He also understood why Senior Sister Zhang said that the powerful person who created the communication talisman was extremely powerful: you know, the threshold for creating the communication talisman is not high, and it can be used by cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, which means that the rune structure is very simple.

On the other hand, the principle behind this is relatively profound.

He thought about it, put aside all the speculations in his mind, and said to Senior Sister Zhang:

"Senior Sister, can this communication talisman be modified?"

"change?"

"For example... can our news be delivered to every household in this way?"

Senior Sister Zhang frowned slightly, as if she understood Zheng Fa's thoughts a little.

Today's news is like the projection team going to the countryside to show movies in the past few years of modern times... Not only is it labor-intensive, but each piece of news requires the use of the talisman array method.

It’s actually quite restricted.

What Zheng Fa proposed was to use the communication talisman in the direction of wireless broadcasting and television.

In other words, today's communication symbols are a bit like mailboxes, focusing on one-to-one communication.

Zheng Fa wanted to create a news website.

Seeing that Senior Sister Zhang was still in deep thought, she seemed to have some ideas in her mind.

He added: "This is a one-to-many usage, what if it is many-to-many?"

“Many to many?”

Now, even Senior Sister Zhang couldn’t quite understand it.

"It is to... establish a place where the disciples of the Nine Mountains can communicate freely."

What Zheng Fa said is actually a very old-fashioned history of the development of the Internet...

But Senior Sister Zhang still didn’t understand.

"For example, if I have a confusion in my practice and can't find anyone to ask, then this place can be a place for me to ask questions."

Zheng Fa thought about it and came up with a forum model.

Senior Sister Zhang’s eyes lit up.

I understand a little bit.

Zheng Fa added: "For example, I know how to make talismans. Can I find sellers here? This thing can even be combined with our good deeds system."

Um...online shopping mall.

"For example, I don't have any special skills, but I have some ideas about cultivation... If I summarize them and teach them to everyone, can I also get a certain amount of compensation?"

Senior Sister Zhang blinked her eyes, and suddenly she understood Zheng Fa’s proposal about the Internet. She also understood the meaning of the unpleasant title of the so-called Mother of the Internet... How significant it was!

Although Zheng Fa's words were very brief, she could vaguely realize that the things contained in it were far more than what Zheng Fa had just described.

Xiao Yuying who was standing by also understood.

"Aunt is aunt!" Xiao Yuying suddenly spoke.

“…”

Zheng Fa looked at Xiao Yuying and saw only one sentence on her face:

No matter whether she is big or small, just get in the car first!

…

The Internet's aunt thing was of course a joke. What Zheng Fa valued most was Xiao Yuying's attainments in archaeology - he now wanted to pull Xiao Yuying into his own archaeological project.

In a small conference room on University Island, almost all the current top leaders of the Nine Mountains Realm were sitting.

Senior Sister Zhang, the three supreme elders.

There is only one Xiao Yuying among the outsiders, which shows how much importance she holds.

Zheng Fa stood in front of the five people, holding a stack of information in his hand, and said, "I called you all here to discuss whether we should explore the secret realm. If we want to carry out this project, which secret realm should we go to?"

Everyone looked at each other, and understood that Zheng Fa had convened this meeting with the intention of exploring the secret realm.

Xiao Yuying naturally stayed out of the matter, as Zheng Fa had mentioned this matter a long time ago.

Because of the previous archaeological report, she was somewhat tempted, but to be honest—she couldn’t help but feel that she didn’t need to cooperate with the Jiushan Sect.

Even if it is cooperation, can't it be like what happened with Madam Xuanhua: go to the secret realm by yourself, and then bring it back for testing by Jiushan Sect? Senior Sister Zhang thought about it and spoke first: "I will talk about it from the perspective of the General Affairs Hall."

"Until now, the Nine Mountains Realm has been in a state of almost losing money."

"In terms of expenses, the Nine Mountains Realm has to purchase all materials except for the lightning spiritual materials from outside. The current situation is tense and the prices of various materials are rising."

"There are also projects like the Golden Elixir Project, which cost a lot."

When everyone heard her say this, their faces turned serious.

"In terms of revenue, our Jiushan Sect currently only has two popular products: lightning spiritual materials and spiritual talismans."

"But the problem with lightning spiritual materials is that most of them are supplied to our Nine Mountains disciples for their own cultivation, so the output is relatively limited."

Zheng Fa couldn't help but sigh: I've never heard of a farmer getting rich.

"Although the talismans are easy to sell, the Hundred Immortals Alliance has lost most of its resources and is actually poor. More importantly, they have never fought with the Great Freedom Demon Sect."

Senior Sister Zhang looked a little regretful...

As expected, the ones who are most hurt by world peace are the arms dealers...

"Also, the payment is too slow."

Zheng Fa looked at the other masters and others, and saw that they were in deep thought, as if they understood why Zheng Fa proposed the archaeological project.

He thought about it, and then continued with Senior Sister Zhang's words: "In addition to the issue of resources, I have another consideration..."

Everyone looked at him, wanting to hear what he was going to say.

"The Nine Mountains Realm is too safe."

"...Be prepared for danger in times of peace?" said the old man.

"Yes, it's not that I don't want people in Jiushan to live in peace, but... I'm afraid we can't do that."

There are two things that Zheng Fa has always kept in mind: one is that the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor entered the Nine Mountains Realm and killed Tianzun.

This shows that the Nine Mountain Realm is far from infallible.

The other one is closer - the Great Free Demon Ancestor actually wants to give up the Great Free Heaven.

The implication of this also made Zheng Fa alert.

The others nodded as they listened. The old man smiled and said, "I thought so a long time ago. I thought you would be soft-hearted."

"Going to the secret realm, on the one hand, can train the Nine Mountains disciples."

"Also, I can gather some resources and knowledge, so I won't get involved in the struggle between the demon sect and the immortal sect."

In fact, what Zheng Fa values ​​most is all kinds of inherited knowledge - and knowledge can be shared.

This is also the reason why he wants to cooperate with Xiao Yuying.

His meaning was very clear, which was to find a high-yield, relatively safe project to train the disciples of Jiushan.

After hearing his idea, the elder said, "I think this is feasible."

Senior Sister Zhang and the other two also nodded.

"Then it's a question of which secret place to go to."

Zheng Fa pointed to the stack of documents beside him and looked at Xiao Yuying: "Fairy Xiao, we are interested in cooperating with you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuying only said, "Cooperation... is not impossible, but I am not interested in every secret realm."

Zheng Fa smiled and handed over the top document.

Xiao Yuying looked down for a few times, and when she looked up again, her eyes were full of surprise: "Venerable Tianhe? Where did he come from?"

"A disciple reported it."

"Tsk... your Jiushan Sect is truly a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers."

Zheng Fa thought about it and said honestly: "No, this person was sent by the Hundred Immortals Alliance..."

"..." Xiao Yuying was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Is the Hundred Immortals Alliance not going to pass it?"

Zheng Fa felt that Master Tongming would not be so generous...

"I got it!"

Zheng Fa suddenly took out a piece of paper and said, "Then please sign this Archaeological Cooperation Contract, Fairy Xiao."

“…”

Xiao Yuying glanced at him, then looked at the terms in the contract and found that the various regulations were relatively loose - basically, they were about confidentiality, no harm to each other, and the principles of profit distribution and knowledge sharing.

After signing the contract, Xiao Yuying stood up, looking as if she couldn't wait to leave.

"Fairy Xiao!"

"Um?"

"I have some new ideas for this archaeological project..."

Xiao Yuying sat down and looked at Zheng Fa's head.

It seems that Zheng Fa’s brain is more interesting than the secret realm left by Venerable Tianhe.

…

Mu Qingyan was brought to the conference room. She was a little confused as she looked at the room full of Nascent Souls.

Senior Sister Zhang was standing aside, holding a pen, as if preparing to write something down.

Zheng Fa looked at her and said, "Mu Qingyan, the sect is ready to explore the secret realm you submitted earlier."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Mu Qingyan pursed her lips and said, "...Yes."

Zheng Fa took out another contract and said, "Take a look at it. If you have no objection, just sign it."

Mu Qingyan lowered her head and looked at the contract.

On one side is Zheng Fa, whose main obligation is to protect Mu Qingyan's safety, ensure her distribution of interests, etc.

Mu Qingyan had to promise to provide all the information she could.

It was clear and obvious, and there was no difference between it and what Zheng Fa had said before.

“…”

Mu Qingyan was silent for a while, signed the contract, and said, "This secret realm should be related to Venerable Tianhe..."

"Wait, tell me in detail, why do you have this judgment?"

Zheng Fa interrupted her and asked.

"..." Mu Qingyan paused, thinking to herself: Everyone said so in the previous life! "What I mean is, is there something or information in it that makes you think it was left by Tianhe Zun?"

"Oh!" Mu Qingyan understood, "As far as I know, there should be the inheritance of Venerable Tianhe in it, and some instruments with the mark of Venerable Tianhe."

Zheng Fa nodded and continued to ask:

"Okay, next question, what can we possibly gain from this secret realm?"

"...In addition to that inheritance, there seem to be two magic weapons..."

"Do you know anything about the architectural structure in that secret realm?"

"Yes... the secret place seems to be a big lake with an island in the lake..."

"What dangers might there be? Prohibitions?"

"...A lot. There is a restriction in the lake... It seems to be a formation that can deceive the five senses of the cultivators..."

Zheng Fa nodded, looked at Xiao Yuying and said, "Fairy Xiao, in your opinion, what kind of enchantment formation was popular in that era? Are there any common methods?"

Xiao Yuying gradually understood what Zheng Fa was doing. She thought for a long time before saying, "To be honest, Venerable Tianhe is such a great man, and his methods are beyond my imagination. However, there were indeed some commonly used formations in that era..."

After she explained several formations, she continued, "After some developments, some of the maze formations also had universal solutions..."

After listening to her explanation, Zheng Fa looked at several supreme elders.

The old man spoke up: "If that's the case, I do have a few talisman arrays that should be more effective than general spells."

Uncle Pang said: "The Dongxu Spirit Eye also has some effect."

Uncle Huang...Uncle Huang didn't say anything and seemed a little out of place.

Zheng Fa watched as Senior Sister Zhang wrote down all their words, and then asked Mu Qingyan, "Anything else?"

Two hours passed during the question and answer session.

After all, Mu Qingyan had only heard of this secret place, and the news that came out later was either true or false, with quite a few omissions.

But even so, Senior Sister Zhang also recorded a thick pile of documents.

Everyone looked at what she had recorded and found that the cover was written by Zheng Fa: "Archaeological Plan for the Secret Realm of Tianhe-1"

Xiao Yuying was stunned for a moment, then flipped through the documents and discovered that for every restriction and danger that Mu Qingyan mentioned, Zhang Wuyi had recorded various guesses and corresponding methods.

Some of these solutions were proposed by her.

Some were provided by the two elders.

Some of them were Zhang Wuyi’s own thoughts.

The initial maze eventually spawned more than twenty corresponding emergency plans.

She couldn't help but look up at Zheng Fa, feeling quite puzzled, and said, "You are too meticulous..."

The smile on Zheng Fa's face froze.

"What do you think?" Xiao Yuying asked curiously.

What do you think?

What era is this? Do you still have to do archaeology alone?

In the Xuanwei Realm, due to the particularity of the secret realm, cultivators all fight alone - even if they are temporarily formed teams, they will often turn against each other due to uneven distribution of spoils.

In this regard, Zheng Fa only cooperates with people he trusts relatively.

On the one hand, it is guaranteed by the archaeological cooperation contract.

In Zheng Fa's opinion, although cultivators live long, they can hardly be called all-rounders - for example, Xiao Yuying, she doesn't know much about methods such as refining weapons and elixirs, and her understanding of formations is also relatively rough.

After all, all kinds of knowledge about cultivating immortals are extremely profound, and it can even be said that there is no end to it.

In other words - there is a lot of room for cooperation even among monks with high cultivation levels.

In fact, those monks are not unaware of this, but they are not as obsessed with it as Zheng Fa.

"Fairy Xiao, I will divide this archaeological project into three parts:"

"The first part, as you can see, is to collect information, prepare plans, etc...."

"The second part, of course, is to explore the secret realm. When the time comes, Fairy Xiao, you will lead people to explore the secret realm, and my Jiushan Sect will provide you with more technical support..."

"Technical support?"

Xiao Yuying didn't understand.

"What I mean is, for example, if there is any restriction in the secret realm that you cannot solve, I will work with Master and others to help find a solution."

Simply put, Zheng Fa regarded the team led by Xiao Yuying as the front line.

The Jiushan Sect also has a general staff.

Just like Zheng Fa said, in addition to wanting to obtain the resources of the secret realm, he also wanted to train these disciples of the Jiushan Sect.

Therefore, he looked at this matter from the perspective of war.

Xiao Yuying also understood.

She opened her mouth, but something didn't come out - is there such a thing as a war of affluence in the world?

Zheng Fa added: "The last step is, of course, analysis. Fairy, you can see the effect of this from our previous archaeological report..."

As Xiao Yuying listened, her expression became more and more complicated.

"Fairy Xiao?"

“…”

"I finally understand what those monks who met me in the secret realm were thinking..."

"What?" Zheng Fa asked curiously.

"Why don't we go home..."

Xiao Yuying was clearly aware of the power of this idea - even if she encountered this approach, she would feel that she had no chance of winning.

She is talented, but Zheng Fa's method of gathering a large number of Nascent Souls and preparing for the game to the extreme is really too much.

Xiao Yuying felt desperate just thinking about it...

Oh? No, I'm on his side? That's fine...

…

"No...you are going too far, aren't you?" Xiao Yuying stared at Zheng Fa, pointing at the illusion in front of her and asked, "What is this exercise?"

The island in the illusion was exactly what Mu Qingyan had described, and the restrictions in it were all true - they were just not as powerful.

This is the one among the nine islands in the Heavenly Palace that has been useless until now. It is now used by Zheng Fa for exercises - or rather, a copy simulation.

This thing is essentially the game "Dao Zheng Xian" developed by Zheng Fa and his team before, but the environment has been changed to a secret realm, and the purpose is not to fight against each other, but to explore the secret realm.

Therefore, he now calls this island Zhengxian Island.

"We need to let our disciples familiarize themselves with the plan..."

Zheng Fa explained that, after all, all the plans were only on paper, but all the magic spells were ultimately superficial.

Xiao Yuying was speechless and looked at Zheng Fa, unable to speak.

"Why do I feel that... exploring secret realms in the future won't be exciting at all?"

"Fairy Xiao, I don't want any stimulation..."

Xiao Yuying saw Zheng Fa pointing to the side, where there was a mountain wall facing the illusion.

On the mountain wall, there was a line of large green characters carved by Senior Sister Yuan:

"Sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in war."

These ten words were extremely simple, but they made everyone understand Zheng Fa's thoughts at once.

Xiao Yuying heard Zheng Fa say again: "Fairy Xiao, I don't want the disciple I have worked so hard to train to die in the secret realm because of ignorance, lack of preparation, and pursuit of excitement..."

To be honest, it was only after he became the head of the sect that he realized how much resources an outstanding disciple consumes.

I changed so many systems, hired so many teachers, and spent so much effort to train these disciples... How can I just let them die so easily? "..."

Mu Qingyan was standing behind him. Her eyelids twitched slightly when she heard that. She couldn't help but look up at the other disciples. There seemed to be some warmth on their faces.

Even Xiao Yuying sighed when she heard this and said, "The Jiushan Sect has a leader like you..."

She didn't say anything else, but everyone understood the admiration in her words.

"Oh, by the way, those of you who are participating in the exercise..." Zheng Fa suddenly seemed to have thought of something, glanced at Mu Qingyan and the others and said, "After the exercise, remember to write a summary. Three thousand words will be enough."

"Master...exercise, just once?"

Mu Qingyan couldn't help but speak. Others didn't know, but she knew that they had discussed a lot of plans...

"What do you think?"

Zheng Fa smiled kindly.

"It's unlucky to have you as the leader..."

Xiao Yuying changed the subject.

Mu Qingyan and others nodded solemnly.
