Chapter 316: Nature Revealed, Jiushan Agricultural Classic
As soon as he entered the nursing home, Team Leader Yang realized that money is not important!
In front of the main building of the nursing home, there is an antique pavilion, which was planned by Tang Lingwu's mother.
Zheng Fazheng, Tang Lingwu and others were sitting in the pavilion drinking tea.
He and Tang Lingwu and the others had hardly any time to communicate for almost half a year, and it would take a while for them to finish talking. Moreover, forming the elixir was really a tough job, so he wanted to rest for two days.
So today, Zheng Fa was chatting with them.
Sometimes a few people talk to each other, but there is no clue to their words, and they just say whatever comes to mind.
Sometimes I just keep silent and feel comfortable.
The fatigue and irritability that Zheng Fa had felt before also dissipated a lot.
…
Old man Bai, along with Team Leader Yang and two others, also walked into the pavilion.
Zheng Fa smiled at the two of them and pointed to the two untouched teacups in front of him.
Team leader Yang had a lot of things to say, but when he saw Zheng Fa's face, he somehow felt that the person in front of him was both close and far away, and otherworldly.
She was speechless for a moment and could only lower her head and drink a sip of tea.
When the tea went into her mouth, the aroma of the tea leaves brought a cool feeling, which went from the tip of her tongue into her stomach, and then floated from her stomach to her brain.
It was as if she had grown ears again - she heard the small flowers in the grass in front of the yard slowly opening, heard the mountain breeze slowly passing through the distant treetops, and heard the rustling of birds in the trees gently preening their feathers with their beaks in their nests.
She heard the quietness of the mountains illuminated by the setting sun.
All of a sudden, the phone call from above, the responsibilities, the worry and excitement in my heart when I came here - all disappeared.
"This is……"
Team leader Yang asked in a daze, looking at the teacup in front of him.
"It's a newly grown spiritual plant with abundant spiritual energy." Teacher Tian said with a smile, "We call it Forgetful Tea."
"Wangji Tea..." Team Leader Yang repeated the name, nodded, and sighed, "Taoran Wangji, the Immortal Cave..."
Cheng Yun, who was standing aside, nodded and kept muttering... he looked like a loser.
Zheng Fa was also quite satisfied with this tea... This thing is very beneficial for cultivation. It can help people calm down and improve the efficiency of cultivation.
It is especially helpful for modern people with relatively complex minds.
"President Zheng, you really scared us."
Perhaps it was because of the tea that many of Team Leader Yang's worries disappeared. He stopped beating around the bush and spoke directly.
"Scare?" Zheng Fa looked a little puzzled: "I just made some progress in my cultivation, how can I scare anyone?"
Team Leader Yang glared at him but didn't dare to look at him. He just asked Tang Lingwu and the others, "Don't you think... Dean Zheng has changed?"
The others haven't spoken yet.
Zheng Fa asked again: "What has changed?"
"It has become... unattainable. At this moment, when I look at you, Dean, you seem to be within reach, yet you seem a thousand miles away."
When Zheng Fa heard this, he couldn't help but guess:
After forming the Dan, he felt that there were some changes in himself, but when he came into contact with Senior Sister Zhang and others, they did not seem to be anything unusual.
Thinking about it now, they were probably also going through this before and had anticipated it, so they thought Zheng Fa’s changes were normal.
The other disciples of the Jiushan Sect naturally did not dare to raise such doubts due to his status.
In modern times, it was Team Leader Yang who spoke out first.
He looked at Old Man Bai and the others, and saw them nodding slightly, as if they agreed with what Team Leader Yang said - obviously, they felt the same way.
Zheng Fa frowned slightly and asked, "Do you also think that I have changed?"
This wasn't because he was worried about gains and losses and was complaining without reason, but... he had always had a trace of fear in his heart about the path of cultivating immortals.
After all, whether it was the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor or the Tianhe Reverend, they both hinted in their words that one would become unlike oneself in the end after practicing.
He couldn't help but be on guard.
The old man said slowly, "You have definitely changed. You haven't noticed it yourself, but we can all see it clearly - you are more... calm? Or confident? Or in other words, indifferent."
Zheng Fa listened and nodded slowly. From his state of mind...it was indeed so.
"I would say that's not a bad thing."
Seeing that Zheng Fa's brows were still furrowed, the old man seemed to understand what he was worried about, and his expression became more serious than usual: "Just because you have changed doesn't mean you are not you."
"It is common that strong people are more vigorous than weak people, isn't it?"
Cheng Yun seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly chanted: "Suddenly the golden shackles were opened, and the jade locks were torn off. Hey! The tide is coming on the Qiantang River, and today I know who I am!"
Everyone turned to look at him, only to see him chuckle and seem embarrassed: "When I was reading "Water Margin" before, I thought this sentence was very cool!"
The old man clapped his hands and sighed, "That's right, what you lost were just some mundane shackles. Who said these shackles are your nature?"
Zheng Fa couldn't help but reveal a smile in his eyes and poured another cup of tea for Cheng Yun.
He also felt that he was a little too worried: judging from Senior Sister Zhang and the others, there wouldn't be any major problems at least before the Nascent Soul stage.
Team leader Yang sighed - Cheng Yuntonton drank tea for half a day and only said two sentences, which were just right.
It seems that Zheng Fa likes her much more than her.
It's very infuriating.
…
After all, Zheng Fa is not a serious ascetic... When doing research, you need to talk about money and costs.
"President Zheng, we have already done some research behind the mountain. It is completely feasible to build a particle collider in Hongshan." Team Leader Yang said, "As for the money, you don't have to save it..."
Zheng Fa shook his head. "I didn't mean to save money. On the other hand, I wanted to save some time. The main reason is that I have a way to use relatively simple equipment to meet the energy requirements of the Large Hadron Collider."
What he was talking about was naturally the thunder method.
"This way..." Team Leader Yang thought for a long time and gave his own plan, "We divide the project into Phases 1, 2 and 3, and conduct experiments while upgrading at the same time, so that neither is delayed..."
"That's... naturally good. Team Leader Yang, can you make the decision?"
"Director Zheng, I'm just taking advantage of the power of others and acting very arrogantly." Team leader Yang laughed and said frankly. From his words, he actually regarded himself as a member of the nursing home.
Zheng Fa couldn't help but look at her.
Team leader Yang then said, "President Zheng, I actually looked up some information about this matter later. Cooperating with you will also benefit the country."
Zheng Fa was stunned.
"This particle collider is very expensive, so we naturally want to pursue experimental results after building it. Now we build a big one, and with your magic, Dean..." Team Leader Yang said, "Won't we be able to complete some experiments that were originally impossible to complete?"
"This matter is a win-win for both sides!"
Zheng Fa was stunned, but then he patted his head. He had indeed thought too narrowly before - just like the planned controlled nuclear fusion external elixir, technology can help in cultivating immortals, so can't cultivating immortals help technology?
The old man sighed, "Now that you mention it, it is indeed true. Team Leader Yang is really thoughtful."
Team leader Yang smiled proudly: "I am the leader of the liaison team. It is my job to think about how to benefit both sides."
She couldn't help but glance at Cheng Yun, the expression on her face clearly said - Although I don't have your luck, I rely on my brain!
Cheng Yun gently pushed up the glasses on his nose and took out a hard drive from the backpack behind him...
Team leader Yang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered, oh no, Cheng Yun is the one who relies on his brain! As expected.
Cheng Yun said, "Dean, in the past six months, based on the experimental results of Shenxiao Waidan, we have optimized the other eleven golden elixir methods."
Zheng Fa's eyes lit up and he took the hard drive, looking even happier than before.
Team leader Yang bit his lip.
"I have made a lot of discoveries in my Dan formation process. I will tell you about it later."
Zheng Fa spoke to Cheng Yun affectionately, saying that after personally condensing the golden elixir, he naturally had some new discoveries and naturally had some ideas on how to improve the "Golden Elixir Project".
More importantly... he hasn't figured out what the "Nine-Turn Golden Elixir Method" is.
Cheng Yun’s research cannot stop, as it may be of great use in the future.
Seeing him like this, Team Leader Yang couldn't help feeling frustrated, and Cheng Yun couldn't hide his pride. At this moment, the sound of brakes was heard outside the door again.
They were startled and saw Mr. Hou getting out of a car.
Team leader Yang and Cheng Yun looked at each other and understood in their hearts - the person who was truly valued by Zheng Fa had arrived!
Sure enough, as soon as Hou Lao came in, Zheng Fa smiled more... He didn't really treat them differently, he just remembered Tang Lingwu's previous concealment, it seemed that Jiushan Grain Company had achieved some results, and it was still mysterious.
Of course he had some expectations.
As soon as Hou Lao came in, he winked at Tang Lingwu and seemed to find it amusing.
Like Cheng Yun, he was also carrying a backpack, which looked quite heavy. He placed the backpack on the stone table in the pavilion, unzipped it, and Zheng Fa could see clearly - there were a dozen brand new books inside.
"This is?"
"I can't grow spiritual fields in the next six months, but it won't be a problem to sort out past experimental data." Elder Hou said with a smile, "Xiao Tang asked me and some other experts to compile a set of agricultural teaching materials suitable for spiritual environments."
"Of course, we don't know much about spiritual plants, but this set of books already contains the results of previous discoveries and summarizes modern theories that can be used in spiritual environments."
"If there are new discoveries in the future, we can revise this version based on it."
Zheng Fa smiled even more deeply. He flipped through the dozen books and found that they were divided into categories, from "Botany" to "Spiritual Plant Genetics"... and there were also discussions about genes.
Looking at the contents inside, it is almost all-encompassing and it is definitely not something that Hou Lao could do alone.
Although Mr. Hou had made some summary discussions before, which brought many benefits to the Jiushan Sect, this kind of systematic teaching material suitable for the spiritual environment has never been compiled - mainly because he had no time.
In the past six months, perhaps because he had nothing to do and had a large amount of experimental data, he naturally compiled this set of books under the organization of Tang Lingwu.
He couldn't help but look at Tang Lingwu, and saw that Tang Lingwu's eyes were excited and full of expectation - full of the clear friendship of a girl.
Zheng Fa couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart.
The old man curled his lips and muttered softly, "What a joke! As long as he's a man, even if he's an immortal, he'll still have worldly desires when he comes here."
Team leader Yang glanced at Tang Lingwu and shook his head. He felt that what old man Bai said was wrong—even if a woman came, she would still be tempted! …
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
In the Nine Mountains Realm, Zheng Fa said to Senior Sister Zhang and the others, "I am going to write back to the Hundred Immortals Alliance, saying that we agree to provide them with a venue to hold the Hundred Immortals Dharma Assembly."
Senior Sister Zhang nodded and didn't ask anything.
Uncle Pang frowned and asked, "Why is that? Didn't you say that Jiang Chengkong might have other purposes?"
"Not only the Hundred Immortals Alliance... I plan to open the Nine Mountains Realm to the outside world to a limited extent." Zheng Fa said slowly, "The Nine Mountains Realm is really poor, and the planned Economic Development Island... must also be put into operation."
Farming is farming, but the saying that one cannot get rich without business is always true.
Uncle Pang also nodded slightly.
"Now I also have the methods to improve the other eleven golden elixirs, but the resources in the sect are not enough..."
Zheng Fa explained further.
Now that we have the method to form the elixir, we naturally have to try to refine the external elixir first. After that, those disciples who are building the foundation will form the elixir.
The resources required are not a small amount.
Senior Sister Zhang had a quarrel with Senior Uncle Pang’s disciples because of this...
Uncle Pang suddenly realized, his face showing mixed emotions of sadness and joy, and he didn't even know what to say - he had never thought that the Jiushan Sect would face such troubles...
"My Nine Mountains Sect has few specialties nowadays... but it is not without advantages. We have dramas, a safe environment, lightning spiritual materials, and even the external pills we refine ourselves... we can all sell them."
Zheng Fa expressed his thoughts.
"A safe environment..." Uncle Pang touched his chin and understood what Zheng Fa meant. "Do you want to collect rent again?"
Zheng Fa nodded, then looked at Senior Sister Zhang and said, "I plan to start with the Hundred Immortals Alliance."
In the final analysis, Zheng Fa was planning to rent out a venue to hold a Hundred Immortals Dharma Assembly for the Hundred Immortals Alliance...
If it succeeds and builds some reputation, he will plan to develop the Nine Mountains Realm into a mobile neutral mall. As for returning to the Hundred Immortals Alliance, Zheng Fa doesn't even want to think about it now. Will he go back and play a life-and-death game with the Great Freedom Demon Sect? "As for Jiang Chengkong, let's see what he wants to do."
Senior Sister Zhang nodded slightly, agreeing with Zheng Fa's idea: "This kind of person... can't be avoided, it will only make him suspicious..."
"The Hundred Immortals Dharma Assembly has always attracted many powerful people from outside to watch the ceremony... I am planning to hold an auction. We can take this opportunity to sell the external pills we have refined and the magic weapons we got from the Tianhe Ruins."
“So it’s feasible.”
After thinking about it, Uncle Pang also thought this was a good idea.
After discussing with them, a communication talisman flew out from Zheng Fa's sleeve and headed towards the Hundred Immortals Alliance.
…
Tongming Mountain.
Master Tongming received the message from Zheng Fa and sighed after reading it.
One of his disciples asked, "Master?"
"Then Zheng Fa sent a letter back, which was quite polite, saying that it was an honor to host the Hundred Immortals Ceremony..."
"Then why are you sighing, Master?"
“They want money.”
"..." The disciple held it in for a long time before speaking: "How can this be? We are one of us..."
"I don't think so..." Master Tongming thought for a moment and sighed.
“Could it be that they still have resentment?”
"Resentment? I don't think so. Now it's just business." Master Tongming thought for a while and said.
The disciple was speechless, realizing that such an attitude truly showed that he did not consider himself a member of the Hundred Immortals Alliance.
"Then why should we..." the disciple couldn't help but say.
"How can we decide this?" Master Tongming rolled his eyes at him and shook his head, "Isn't it because we have to listen to Senior Envoy Chengkong? Oh, right... is Senior Envoy Chengkong still tinkering with his spiritual bamboo?"
His disciple nodded, smiling a little strangely: "Qingmu Sect and Baicao Sect have tried every possible way, but they are still helpless against Lingzhu's problem..."
Master Tongming also shook his head. The Qingmu Sect was the sect in the Baixian League that was best at refining pills, and the Baicao Sect was extremely knowledgeable about spiritual plants and trees... They were so concerned about the spiritual bamboo that they naturally wanted to please Jiang Chengkong.
Even this strategy is correct.
When Jiang Chengkong came to the Hundred Immortals Alliance, most of his attention was focused on the spiritual bamboo that was about to turn yellow.
Can……
"How could it be possible that Grand Envoy Chengkong couldn't find a cultivator who is good at cultivating spiritual plants? These two sects... are just daydreaming."
"That's right, but I don't know what the spiritual bamboo is used for, and why the envoy is so concerned about it..."
Master Tongming also shook his head. He didn't know much about spiritual plants.
Of course I don't understand.
…
In the Jiushan Realm, Zheng Fa came to Tiangong Island and slowly walked into the Temple of the Sages.
There weren't many people in the Hall of Sages at this time. After all, no one would come here every day... But when they saw Zheng Fa coming in, the disciples in twos and threes looked at him curiously.
Zheng Fa looked around at the statues and took out a special statue from his storage bag.
The carving was of a box, inside which were a dozen books. Four characters were engraved on the outer shell of the box: "Jiushan Nongdian".
Next to these four words, there are densely packed small characters written: the most prominent one is "Editor: Tang Lingwu".
Following that are the names of dozens of authors, the first of which is Mr. Hou’s.
With a wave of his hand, the sculpture stood in the Hall of Sages, right next to the statue of Qian Daoren.
This sculpture was carved by Zheng Fa himself - not for any reason, but because he didn't want these people who made great contributions to the Nine Mountains Realm to remain unknown to the people of the Nine Mountains Realm.
In the future, when other knowledge gradually becomes a system, he will do the same, especially the names of Old Man Bai and others... He doesn't know whether he can bring Old Man Bai and others to the Nine Mountains Realm in the future. If not, he should at least leave them a name.
Senior Sister Zhang, who was working in the main hall of Tiangong Island, also walked in. She glanced at Zheng Fa, then set her eyes on the book box sculpture, especially - she lingered on the three words "Tang Lingwu" for quite a long time.
Zheng Fa...suddenly felt a little guilty.
At this moment, Master Qian came running over and asked, "Master! What is this book "Nine Mountain Agricultural Classics"? Can you show it to me?"
Of course he had reason to be excited. After all, Zheng Fa had given him a lot of information before, which turned out to be extremely useful in the end.
Now there are suddenly ten more books...
How could he not be jealous? How could he not be excited?
Zheng Fa waved his hand, and the copied "Nine Mountains Agricultural Code" appeared in front of Master Qian.
Master Qian didn't even have time to go back, he just picked up a book and started reading - he probably didn't understand it all, sometimes he frowned while reading.
Sometimes, they suddenly realize something, or even look shocked.
Monks are fast readers, so Master Qian only took a quick look at the book, and in less than half an hour, he had almost finished reading it.
"how?"
Zheng Fa asked.
It has to be said that although Master Qian is an outsider, because of his good attitude towards learning, he has almost become like Zheng Fa - and now he has gained Zheng Fa's trust.
Zheng Fa mainly wrote this set of books for him to read.
"I'm stupid, I only understood about 20% to 30%..." Master Qian said honestly, and then couldn't help but exclaimed, "But I have benefited a lot!"
"This Fairy Tang compiled a book that is easy to understand and she really wants to spread the great way of spiritual agriculture. She is definitely a person of great virtue!"
Zheng Fa glanced at Senior Sister Zhang.
Well... your compliment is good, but it's in the wrong place.
