Chapter 326 Journal Concept, Blood River's Death

Chen Sheng's complaints were not without his own obsession - well, because he was obsessed with martial arts, he failed to get into university.

Of course, if he had been a good student when he was young, he probably would not have been obsessed with martial arts.

But, I still regret it very much.

But his words killed another person...

Although he and the people around him spoke in low voices, with Zheng Fa and the others' skills, they could not hide these words from them.

so……

The old man and his companions looked at each other, chatting with their eyes, or rather, cursing.

Old white man: "...University diploma? Is that difficult? Isn't it given to you when you reach a certain age?"

Tang Mudao: "No, I got my doctorate degree more than 30 years ago..."

Teacher Tian turned around and looked at Zheng Fa and Tang Lingwu.

Zheng Fa: “…”

He looked at Tang Lingwu with a hint of comfort in his eyes.

"Well...I'm still in school." Tang Lingwu pursed her lips and suddenly said.

"Um?"

Zheng Fa's eyes widened.

Xiao Lingwu, you've become a bad person! We agreed to study together, but you're studying secretly?

Tang Lingwu whispered, "I asked Aunt Yang to transfer me to management. I usually take classes remotely in the nursing home."

Tang Lingwu learned this probably in order to better manage Jiushan Grain Company.

The reason why Zheng Fa didn't go to school was very simple - it was neither convenient nor necessary.

He actually didn't think there was anything wrong with going to school again.

But ever since he came into contact with Team Leader Yang and his friends, he always felt that some people were deliberately taking care of him when he went to Jingcheng University...

It seemed as if he was afraid that someone would offend him.

He also understood this.

After all, if such a great god is allowed to wander around in the capital, it would be a huge joke if he encounters someone who is blind.

Although Zheng Fa always behaved kindly.

But no one dared to bet on his kindness.

After going there twice, he didn't want to trouble others. Of course, the main reason was that he felt it was meaningless - no matter what he was like, he could see that others were cautious towards him.

What's more, with his spiritual sense, no matter how quiet the arrangements made by Team Leader Yang and his team were, it would be difficult to hide it from him.

Later he simply stopped going to school.

As for learning, he never stopped - he had been looking for big names in various fields in the country to learn from through Team Leader Yang, but he just didn't care about diplomas anymore.

But, objectively speaking:

A university diploma was something he would never be able to obtain through normal means in his lifetime...

On the contrary, Tang Lingwu did not have as much influence as Zheng Fa, nor did she have such convenient conditions as Zheng Fa. She could learn from anyone she wanted. If she wanted to study management systematically, it would be best to take professional courses in college first.

Capital University is a very suitable choice.

Chen Sheng's words deeply hurt Zheng Fa, but they only hurt him.

After listening to their conversation, Old Man Bai and his companions looked at Zheng Fa with strange eyes, as if they felt that this person was incompatible with them.

"Actually, I was just thinking..." Tang Lingwu quickly changed the subject, "It is not necessary to correspond magic with the physical aspect."

"Um?"

Zheng Fa looked at her and saw Tang Lingwu saying, "If the five elements are the basis of matter, or in other words, the five elements magic constructs a spiritual bond similar to a molecular bond, then there really can be regarded as no bonds between gas molecules."

Everyone was stunned and realized that it was indeed the case.

“So, the five elements do not correspond to the phases of matter, but to different spiritual bonds.”

"For example, water movement is probably equivalent to the force between liquid molecules."

"Fire can be seen as an ionic bond structure formed by the loss of electrons? The gain and loss of energy is also a representation."

"The metal element is naturally the metal bond structure, and the earth element is the force between non-metallic solids."

"As for the wood element... organic matter? I haven't figured it out either."

Tang Lingwu's words made Zheng Fa nod his head and say:

"That's true. The solid, liquid and gas states of matter are just a property. The chemical bonds, or the forces and structures between particles, are the essence. It can be seen that there are no spiritual bonds between gas molecules, so they do not correspond to the five elements."

"From this point of view, it makes sense that fire magic is the foundation, and wind magic may be an application."

Tang Lingwu's statement not only explains the essence of fire magic, but most importantly, it corrects a loophole in Zheng's method - if magic corresponds to the phase of matter, then why is it not wind magic that is one of the basic five elements, but fire magic?

Now if we analyze it completely from the perspective of aura bonds, then the wind spell, or the gas... does not require an aura bond.

Old Man Bai thought about it and felt that this statement was much clearer. He smiled and looked at Tang Lingwu: "This little brain is not bad!"

Tang Lingwu turned up her nose proudly.

The old man added: "As expected of someone who can get a university diploma!"

Zheng Fa: “……?”

…

Chen Sheng always felt that Dean Zheng looked at him with a particularly focused gaze.

When I focused on him practicing radio gymnastics, I felt my whole body stiff and flustered, and I forgot the next movement after doing the previous one.

Performed extremely poorly.

After the practice, he couldn't help feeling a little depressed and lowered his head anxiously.

Zheng Fa slowly put away the silver light in his eyes and looked at the physical examination report brought by Chen Sheng and others.

In order to study the effects of martial arts on the human body, Jiushan Martial Arts School has a special rule - every half a month, a detailed physical examination will be conducted to collect various data.

"Their various routine indicators have improved..." The old white man next to him also came over and explained while looking at it: "It's about the same as before."

Old Man Bai’s health was not very good before, but after practicing martial arts, it did improve and all his minor ailments disappeared - these people naturally did not make such great progress, after all, Old Man Bai later practiced the "Spirit Crane Body".

Not to mention the Five Thunder Body.

"We have also measured height, weight, strength, speed and flexibility, and the progress is greater. It's just that individual conditions are different. Some people's strength increases faster, while others are more inclined to speed."

"For this set of radio gymnastics, we aim to be moderate, comprehensive, and simple." The white old man said to Zheng Fa, "Each movement corresponds to a physical quality. For example, the first move focuses on flexibility."

Zheng Fa also thought it made sense.

Ten thousand people have ten thousand bodies, each one is different.

The old man's thinking is that no matter what your talent is, you can benefit from this radio gymnastics anyway.

"In the future, we can choose advanced martial arts according to our respective talents."

Jiushan Martial Arts School has always been managed by Old Man Bai, so he can talk about it fluently.

After hearing this, Zheng Fa thought about it carefully, then looked at the radio gymnastics again and secretly memorized the movements.

The promotion of Rudao Martial Arts in the Nine Mountains Realm actually encountered some obstacles - mainly because Rudao Martial Arts was difficult to split.

A set of movements in Taoism martial arts corresponds to a simplified Taoist body.

After trying it, he realized that if he wanted to break down the movements and combine them into a radio gymnastics exercise... it would destroy the purpose of learning martial arts, which would not be worth the effort and was not very realistic.

Now, the old man's words suddenly gave him inspiration:

First, let the people of the Nine Mountains Realm practice this set of modern radio gymnastics. On the one hand, it will lay a foundation. On the other hand, and most importantly... it will test the talents of the people of the Nine Mountains Realm.

Afterwards, they will be granted corresponding martial arts based on their respective talents.

For example, if you have better agility, you can practice "Spiritual Crane Body".

If you are gifted in strength, "Farmer's Post" would be a better choice.

In other words, establish a set of radio gymnastics - an upgrade system for entering the martial arts.

He put down the medical report in his hand and said with a smile: "This radio gymnastics is good."

Several martial arts school disciples who came to report on their performances breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Zheng Fa stood up, suddenly walked in front of Chen Sheng, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You still have to work harder."

Chen Sheng's face flushed, and he lowered his head and said, "...Yes."

"If you don't perform well, you won't get a diploma from the martial arts school..."

Zheng Fa said with a smile.

"Does a martial arts school also have a graduation certificate?"

Chen Sheng turned around and looked at the old man Bai, only to see that he had a confused look on his face, obviously he had never heard of this.

"Professor Bai is just a coach, what does he know?" Zheng Fa said sternly, "This is the decision of the owner of the museum!"

“When was the decision made?”

"just."

The old man grinned and looked at Chen Sheng with sympathy.

…

With Zheng Fa's academic qualifications, he is indeed too self-conscious in the nursing home.

So he returned to the Nine Mountains Realm to find his self-respect.

After all, with only a high school diploma, he was able to kill people indiscriminately in the Nine Mountains Realm!

He walked into Senior Sister Zhang's yard and saw Senior Sister Zhang and Senior Sister Yuan sitting in a small pavilion by the lake.

Senior Sister Yuan was sitting leaning against the railing of the pavilion.

Senior Sister Zhang was sitting on the ground, her long, white feet dangling in the lake water.

…She still loves washing feet.

Zheng Faxian stared at Senior Sister Yuan for a long time, with gentle eyes and a smile on his face.

I am still most confident when I am with Senior Sister Yuan! Senior Sister Yuan met his gaze, her face full of confusion, she just felt that Junior Brother Zheng liked her a little more today.

She put a nut into her mouth and nodded secretly in her heart:

I have been working really hard recently.

Although Junior Brother Zheng didn't say anything, he saw it all!

I'm afraid she thinks she's very capable! Senior Sister Zhang looked at the eye contact between the two, shook her head, and asked Zheng Fa, "Have you realized anything?"

She didn't even need Zheng Fa to say anything. Just by looking at the joy on Zheng Fa's face, she knew that he had a new idea.

Zheng Fa naturally wanted to report his own and Tang Lingwu's thoughts to Senior Sister Zhang.

"Five Elements Spell, Spirit Key?"

Senior Sister Zhang is the person who has learned the most modern knowledge in the Nine Mountains Realm. Although she has never studied chemistry, the essence of chemical bonds is the interaction between electrons.

It's not that she can't understand.

"That being said, it does explain it..." Senior Sister Zhang thought for a while and said slowly: "As for the wood element, I do have an idea..."

"Um?"

"The Wood Element is responsible for the power of growth."

Zheng Fa nodded.

Senior Sister Zhang pointed with her jade finger, and a water plant in the lake began to grow wildly as if it had taken a tonic. The leaves intertwined and tumbled, covering the entire surface of the lake.

Senior Sister Zhang has another point.

The water plants suddenly turned into debris and were eaten by the fish in the lake.

Zheng Fa thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Senior Sister Zhang, you mean that the function of the Wood Element is growth?"

"Yes. Wood magic is the most peculiar kind, and is almost ineffective against inanimate objects."

Indeed…

The wood-based magic of Zheng Faxue is often only aimed at animals and plants.

This is also the reason why Zheng Fa has never figured out the essence of this thing.

Zheng Fa frowned. From the perspective of modern biology, growth is mainly a process of cell division.

He did have some ideas in his mind, but he didn't dare to tell Senior Sister Zhang.

After all, Senior Sister Zhang not only doesn’t have a college diploma, she doesn’t even have a high school diploma.

He let the matter go for the time being, then took out a booklet and handed it to Senior Sister Zhang.

"This is?"

Senior Sister Zhang opened the booklet, which contained "My Views on Jinshuilei" written by Zhou Qianyuan.

She read through what was written inside carefully, with some satisfaction in her eyes.

Although Zhou Qianyuan was a disciple of Uncle Pang, he had always come to listen to Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang talk about the art of talismans.

I can be considered half of Sister Zhang's disciple.

Now that she has written something innovative, Senior Sister Zhang feels relieved.

“You are…”

"Junior Brother Zhou's article is of limited use to us, but for many disciples, it is a very good idea for fighting."

Zhou Qianyuan's golden water thunder is more powerful than ordinary thunder magic, but it does not require strong attainments in thunder magic.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

It has high universality.

"Do you want to reward him?"

"Um……"

"How to reward?" Senior Sister Zhang was in charge of the General Affairs Hall. She naturally thought that Zheng Fa came to her to reward Zhou Qianyuan for his good deeds.

"Senior Sister, I have an idea... It's actually very difficult to come up with a standard to determine the value of this kind of research result."

Without Zheng Fa's further explanation, Senior Sister Zhang immediately asked, "Do you want the disciples to purchase this research?"

Zheng Fa smiled and nodded: "Yes, just like the internal skills, letting the disciples buy it with good deeds is a natural way."

Their ideas are quite simple:

Let the market judge the value of a research.

Since many people study this, this research will naturally be valuable.

"However, I have another idea." Zheng Fa finally said his real purpose. "As for Junior Brother Zhou's article, it is actually divided into two parts. One part is the principle of the golden water mine, and the other part is the practice of the golden water mine."

The principle of the golden water mine refers to Zhou Qianyuan's overall thinking.

The practice of the golden water mine is naturally the magic developed by Zhou Qianyuan.

"The two cannot be confused. The principle of the golden water mine can probably lead to many other thunder techniques."

Senior Sister Zhang agreed with this. The Gold-Water Thunder was originally a combination of the Gold Thunder Method and the Water Thunder Method. This combination was almost endless. It just depended on whether it was suitable or not.

"After that, someone developed a new thunder method based on this principle. If it earned a lot of good deeds, Junior Brother Zhou would actually suffer a loss."

Senior Sister Zhang looked at Zheng Fa, knowing that after he said that, he probably had some ideas in mind.

“I want to develop a citation standard, or, in other words, launch a journal.”

"Journal?"

Senior Sister Zhang frowned.

This was something Zheng Fa had planned before.

However, at that time, the disciples of the Nine Mountains Realm were still relatively immature, and in modern times they would have been the ones who slipped through the net of compulsory education.

There's no need.

This time, Zhou Qianyuan gave him such a surprise, which reminded Zheng Fa of this matter. On the other hand, Zhou Qianyuan's performance also made him realize that at least some disciples have acquired the ability to explore and innovate after studying for this period of time.

"On the one hand, not everyone is like Junior Brother Zhou and dares to come to me. It is better to set up a special channel."

After all, Zhou Qianyuan was favored by Uncle Pang and was familiar with Zheng Fa, so he dared to submit his results directly to Zheng Fa.

But he also understood that as his cultivation level increased and his authority grew, others would probably become more and more cautious.

Just like he goes to school in modern times.

"On the other hand, I hope to use the journal to stipulate something..."

"What?"

"Citation standards, or the number of citations," Zheng Fa explained. "If someone has a new achievement in the future, he must indicate which previous achievements were cited in this achievement, and the good deeds he has gained must also be given to the people he cited."

"This... is quite interesting."

What Zheng Fa moved were some modern systems.

To be honest, this is for the sake of fairness, and secondly, it is actually to encourage the Nine Mountains disciples to focus more on the essential principles:

It is conceivable that many disciples would only purchase spells without looking at the principles.

Over time, people may focus on magic and lose interest in the underlying principles.

But if it is like the Golden Water Thunder, where one principle can give rise to infinite spells - then the monks who study the principles will naturally suffer less losses.

"This number of citations can also be used to determine the value of a study, which can be regarded as a supplement to our research achievement evaluation system."

This is also Zheng Fa’s final goal: to find an objective evaluation standard for research results and to provide a reference data for future shrines of sages or various awards.

Previously, they awarded prizes based on their own assessment of various achievements.

Although he has no selfish motives, he will always make mistakes sometimes.

…

"This...journal?" Senior Sister Zhang seemed to think the name was a bit strange. She paused and then asked, "What's the name?"

Zheng Fa thought for a while and said, "The Immortal Way."

Senior Sister Zhang glanced at him lightly without saying anything, as if she was not surprised that he chose such a name.

When Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang were discussing various matters concerning the journal, he suddenly had a feeling in his heart. With a wave of his hand, a communication talisman flew in from outside the world.

He took the communication talisman and looked at it, his brows slightly frowned, with a look of surprise and doubt.

"What's wrong?"

Senior Sister Zhang said with concern.

"It was sent by Master Chengkong. They went to Chen County."

Senior Sister Zhang didn't say anything, just looked at Zheng Fa.

"Master Chengkong said that there seems to be something strange in Chen County. The Great Freedom Demon Sect has gathered several gods there, and the defense is extremely tight."

"Several gods?"

“Master Chengkong hasn’t figured out how many there are.”

Not to mention Senior Sister Zhang, even Senior Sister Yuan, who was eating and drinking idly at the side, turned her head in surprise and looked at Zheng Fa.

They all knew that the Great Freedom Demon Sect was very powerful.

But there is more than one god in one county.

This is a bit too scary.

"Master Chengkong means that this time, it's not just a matter of me seeking revenge... He can't just leave these people alone."

This is easy to understand.

There is a price to pay for transforming into a spirit and entering the mysterious world.

These Great Freedom Demon Sect's incarnations must have some purpose for gathering together, and it's definitely not to play mahjong...

Naturally, Chengkong and Tongming cannot be left alone.

"So he wants us to help?"

"Um."

Zheng Fa put down the communication talisman and looked at Senior Sister Zhang.

"What do you think?"

"Be more cautious." Zheng Fa said directly.

After all, he wanted to avenge Gao Yuan, but he didn't know how many gods he had...

This is a bit scary.

If we intervene rashly, we will just be sending the Jiushan Sect's dish to the mouths of the Great Freedom Demon Sect.

Senior Sister Zhang shook her head: "It's not good to offend Master Chengkong too much."

Zheng Fa nodded silently.

This is the helplessness of being weak...

The Five Xuanwei Sects and the Demon Sect, they have already offended the Great Freedom Demon Sect, so naturally they cannot be too disrespectful to the Five Xuanwei Sects.

When Master Chengkong said that the Nine Mountain Realm was not safe, wasn’t that a hidden warning?

It takes strength to stay out of trouble. When the eldest and second oldest fight, you, the third oldest, are often the first to die...

However, Zheng Fa was still unwilling to take risks with the Nine Mountains Realm.

He thought about it and suddenly thought of something: "Senior Sister Zhang, did Cheng Kong say before that he killed the Blood River Ancestor?"

"Yes, all the disciples of the Hundred Immortals Alliance saw it. Master Chengkong took control of the Pure Tranquility Bamboo and killed the Blood River Patriarch with one strike."

"Then... do you think the Blood River Ancestor's natal flying sword in our Nine Mountains Realm is still alive?"

"Um?"

…

Zheng Fa brought Senior Sister Zhang to the medicine garden, and Uncle Pang and Master followed behind them, taking advantage of the fact that they had more people than them.

After all, what they have to guard against is a deity.

In the center of the medicine garden stands a hill formed by the sun and moon clocks.

At the foot of the mountain, the immortal sword of the Blood River Ancestor lay lying on the ground, without any spiritual energy on it.

There seems to be no more magic.

At the previous auction, they sold the coffin of the old man in the bronze coffin.

But the flying sword was kept. Firstly, it was a divine treasure and they were reluctant to part with it.

Of course, the main reason is that I don’t dare to sell, and I’m also afraid that people won’t buy…

Now this flying sword is suppressed by the Sun and Moon Bell. If it is sold, the Blood River Ancestor will escape. That would be a joke.

Looking at the motionless flying sword, the old man wondered, "Dead?"

Uncle Pang shook his head: "I don't know..."

After all, there is no true god-transformation in the Nine Mountains Realm, and people have always had only a vague understanding of the state of god-transformation.

The old man thought for a while, then the formation plate flew out from above his head and set up the Zhoutian Divine Thunder Formation.

Thunders struck the black flying sword like raindrops, crackling loudly. The lightning was so bright that it was difficult to open one's eyes.

But the flying sword did not move at all, as if it had no ability to defend itself at all, and just lay flat on its back to be struck.

After the thunder, although no trace was left on the flying sword, it also showed no signs of agility.

Everyone looked at each other with some confusion in their eyes, and they did not take it lightly.

Uncle Pang thought for a moment, and suddenly warned Zheng Fa, "Watch out, and remember to use the Sun and Moon Bell to suppress him at any time!"

Zheng Fa blinked, not understanding why Uncle Pang said that.

I saw Uncle Pang lift his foot and rub the sole of his shoe against the sword.

Everyone around: ...

Seeing that the Blood River Patriarch's natal flying sword was still motionless, the old man nodded: "It seems that he is really dead."

Uncle Pang rubbed his head and nodded, seeming to agree with what the old man said.

Everyone also understood this judgment... If the Blood River Ancestor was still alive, such humiliation under his feet would be too difficult to bear.

Even Uncle Pang's friction steps seemed more confident, neat and rhythmic.

Zheng Fa looked at the flying sword that had suffered much humiliation, thought for a moment, and a beam of five-colored divine light flew out and landed on the flying sword.

On the flying sword, spiritual energy flashed uncontrollably, and the figure of the Blood River Ancestor slowly appeared.

Uncle Pang's face froze, and he felt that his legs were probably in danger - because the rising Blood River Ancestor was just pressing his face against the sole of his shoe.

The expression on that face is hard to describe—

It's probably like this: he failed to pretend to be dead, but he is really dead.
