Chapter 329: There are children below and elders above
"Don't want to leave?"
Zheng Fa was a little surprised when he received the report from Master Qian.
If Zhou Qianyuan had such feelings towards Jiushan Sect, he could understand it, but Master Qian and the others... were still a little beyond his expectations.
Since these people were unwilling to leave, Zheng Fa had no intention of forcing them. However, when he returned to the main hall of Tiangong Island, he had a thoughtful look on his face.
"What are you thinking about?"
Seeing his expression, Senior Sister Zhang couldn't help but ask.
Zheng Fa told Sister Zhang about Master Qian's story. Sister Zhang had seen it all before, so she was not surprised. She just smiled and said, "This is because you have won people's hearts."
Hearing this, Zheng Fa smiled and shook his head, then sat back in front of his low table. His words were quite sober: "As for human nature, there is a little bit of it, but not much."
"After all, the Nine Mountains Realm is still a bit more stable than the outside world."
Zheng Fa thought about it and finally figured it out:
In his opinion, it was terrifying to see the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor staring at him.
But for the other cultivators, the Great Free Demon Ancestor is coming? Then no place is safe!
The situation in Xuanwei Realm is now close to being out of control. Which of the major sects under the Baixian League has not been wiped out? There are so many terrifying places in Xuanwei Realm.
What's more, Master Qian's disciples have low cultivation levels and can only farm. If they leave the stable environment of the Nine Mountains Realm... it will be difficult for them to live a good life.
Seeing him so clear-headed, even Senior Sister Zhang shook her head and sighed: "Isn't it also your credit that the Nine Mountains Realm is stable?"
Zheng Fa smiled.
This is not an exaggeration. He won the Nine Mountain Realm from many cultivators.
"Although people will be affected by emotions, in the final analysis, it is still because of their own interests..." Zheng Fa said softly.
After he said that, he glanced at the flying sword next to Senior Sister Zhang.
Precisely because he understood this, he did not hold much hope in the Blood River Ancestor.
If the opponent's life and death are under the control of the Demon Ancestor, it will be difficult to pull him into his own camp.
Even if Blood River Patriarch was willing, he still felt uneasy...
When Senior Sister Zhang saw his look, the Mountain and River Seal flashed and landed on the flying sword.
There was a roar from the flying sword, and then there was no further movement. It was obvious that its perception was blocked by the Mountain and River Seal.
"What do you think of the Blood River Ancestor?"
"Letting him go, or destroying the flying sword, is not the best strategy." Zheng Fa said, "The Great Free Demon Ancestor is interested in my Nine Mountains Realm, and it is very likely that he has learned about the true situation of my Nine Mountains Realm through the Blood River Ancestor."
“…”
"He is also unable to escape from the control of the Great Free Demon Ancestor, so we have no choice but to suppress him for now."
Senior Sister Zhang nodded slightly.
"But Senior Sister, this flying sword is not completely useless to us."
"Um?"
"My positive and negative five elements divine light seems to have improved. Now that I use it, I can even vaguely sense the internal structure of this flying sword."
Hmm...Xuanwei Special X-ray! Senior Sister Zhang stood up suddenly and looked at Zheng Fa with an expression of disbelief on her face.
“…Is that true?”
Seeing that she didn't believe him, Zheng Fa thought for a moment and suggested, "How about you, Senior Sister, give me the Feixian Pen to try?"
The Feixian Pen is Senior Sister Zhang's natal magic weapon. The natal magic weapon is almost equivalent to another self. It has always been something that cultivators are reluctant to let outsiders get their hands on easily. What's more, Zheng Fa now says that he has the ability to see through magic weapons.
Zheng Fa's words are really a taboo in the Xuanwei world.
If it were someone else, he would not have made this suggestion.
But Senior Sister Zhang is different after all.
Sure enough, Senior Sister Zhang took out the Feixian Pen and handed it to Zheng Fa without any hesitation.
Zheng Fa's mind moved slightly, and the five elements of divine light were shot out and landed on the Feixian Pen.
Senior Sister Zhang only felt that she had lost control of her own life-saving magic weapon. Only after a moment could she sense the spirituality of the Feixian Pen again.
Senior Sister Zhang couldn't help but sigh: "Your Five Elements Divine Light is getting stronger and stronger."
She still remembered that Zheng Fa had said before that he used the Five Elements Divine Light to control the Nascent Soul magic weapon, and the limit was only a short moment.
Now this lasted for nearly ten breaths.
"This magical power is probably based on my cultivation."
This is true for the Five Elements Divine Light and even more so for the Rainbow Transformation Method. Zheng Fa's cultivation level does not greatly affect the power of the magical power, but it greatly affects its duration.
Therefore, Zheng Fa attributed the improvement of the Five Elements Divine Light this time to his comprehension of the Five Elements magic.
"Senior Sister Zhang, your Feixian Pen... In addition to the Vermillion Bird's beak, the pen body should also be made of a kind of bamboo? Um, it seems that there is also a spiritual material that serves as a glue between the two... It should be born from your golden elixir?"
Hearing this, Senior Sister Zhang nodded slightly, it was obvious that what Zheng Fa said was very accurate.
Zheng Fa also described the materials and structures used in the nib, pen top and other parts of the Feixian pen, and every detail was accurate.
"From now on, other people's magic weapons will have no secrets in your eyes."
Senior Sister Zhang was silent for a long time before speaking.
"I don't know how high the Demon Ancestor's cultivation is. To be honest, whether he will come to the world or not is beyond my control, so there is no point in worrying about it."
Senior Sister Zhang agreed, “This matter still depends on the Five Xuanwei Sects… All we can do is try our best to help.”
"Yes, the most important thing for my Jiushan Sect is actually to strengthen ourselves."
"There are only three things we can do now..."
"One, the first thing to do is to cultivate the hibiscus tree."
Originally, Zheng Fa was not in a hurry about this matter, but now that the threat from the Demon Ancestor is outside, it has become very important.
According to Master Chengkong, if there is a spiritual root of heaven and earth, the Nine Mountains Realm's resistance to the outside world will be much stronger.
The Fusang wood is the most powerful spiritual root in the world.
If there is Fusang tree in the Nine Mountains Realm, we cannot say that it can completely stop the Great Free Demon Ancestor, but at least it will be much safer.
This is what Zheng Fa thinks is the most likely thing to stop the Great Free Demon Ancestor.
"Secondly, my Jiushan Sect lacks the method of transforming into a god. This is why our master has not been able to transform into a god for a long time."
This is the downside of not having enough background...
The old man has been clamoring that he wants to go into seclusion to achieve the state of spiritual transformation, but there has been no progress. In the final analysis, the Jiushan Sect knows too little about the state of spiritual transformation.
"So you want to use your Five Elements Divine Light?"
"Well, we have the Sun and Moon Bell, the Mountain and River Seal, and now we have this flying sword... Let's not talk about the Sun and Moon Bell, the Mountain and River Seal, and the flying sword of the Blood River Ancestor, they are all equivalent to the transformation of the spirit. If we can use the Five Elements Divine Light to analyze some of the ways to the transformation of the spirit..."
For Zheng Fa and others, it’s not that they don’t have ideas, but that they don’t have practical experience.
Now we have the scanning function of the positive and negative five elements divine light...
This is a way to learn from our predecessors!
"Not only that, your life-defining magic weapon should also be put on the agenda..."
“That’s the third thing.”
To be honest, Zheng Fa's cultivation level has improved quite fast - he has only been practicing for three or four years, but he has already achieved the Golden Core...
If you tell others about it, it will scare a lot of people to death.
But the situation changed even faster. For him, unless his cultivation level was improved to the God Transformation level in a short period of time, his strength would not make any essential progress.
This... this is again impossible.
"In the early stage of the golden elixir, one must condense the seed of the natal magic weapon. In the later stage, when the natal magic weapon is fully formed, one can break the golden elixir and achieve the Nascent Soul."
The practice of golden elixir in Xuanwei Realm, probably under the influence of Venerable Tianhe, almost all follows the path of natal magic weapon.
The natal magic weapon is actually equivalent to the cultivator's companion magic weapon. The two grow together, and only after the magic weapon is formed can the Nascent Soul be condensed.
In this way, the division between the early, middle and late stages of the golden elixir is naturally the different stages of the natal magic weapon: in the early stage, the so-called seeds of the magic weapon are produced in the golden elixir.
Zheng Fa’s understanding was that the golden elixir produced specific spiritual materials - a bit like the cube he had produced before.
But that block was condensed casually by Zheng Fa, so naturally it had no spirituality at all, and it could not be considered a seed of magic weapon.
In the middle stage of the golden elixir, one absorbs spiritual materials from the outside world, refines them with the golden elixir, and integrates them with the seeds of magic weapons from the early stage.
In the later stage, the magic weapon will take shape.
Zheng Fa is currently in the early stage of the Golden Elixir stage, and the seed of his magic weapon has not yet condensed - of course, this is mainly because he has not even determined what his magic weapon is.
"You said before that you wanted to create a magical weapon that belonged to you alone." Senior Sister Zhang pondered, "There were two difficulties at that time:"
"One, you don't know much about spiritual materials."
"First, the Jiushan Sect is not good at refining weapons. Even if there is a Madam Xuanhua, she can't figure out how to refine your magic weapon."
This is also the helpless part - Madam Xuanhua is very good at refining weapons, but it does not mean that she can research new magic weapons.
In other words, she is a great engineer, but that doesn't mean she is an inventor.
"I plan to use the Five Elements Divine Light to scan more magic weapons, especially those with communication functions."
Refining a new magic weapon mainly involves design.
He didn't understand magic weapons, but he knew how to draw on, no, design! "Where are there so many magic weapons?"
Senior Sister Zhang wondered.
"... Isn't there Fairy Xiao?"
Zheng Fa, who is very experienced in hooking up with rich women, said as a matter of course.
“…”
Zheng Fa did not rush to find Xiao Yuying, but returned to Paradise Island first.
Master Qian refused, and Zhou Qianyuan seemed reluctant too. It seemed that the other disciples might also be somewhat resistant.
The younger sister's arrangement gave Zheng Fa a headache.
Why not ask Xiao Yuying directly? Before that, he had to ask his younger sister what she thought.
He walked into his yard.
In the yard, only Zheng's mother was tending to the peppers she had just planted - after Master Qian's efforts, she had finally grown some vegetables.
"Where's my little sister?"
"Practice in the room."
Zheng Fa stood at the window, looking at Zheng Shan who was sitting cross-legged on the bed.
Zheng Shan is now over ten years old. Maybe it's because she eats well now, or maybe it's because girls of her age really grow fast - she has grown from the height of Zheng Fa's thigh to the height of Zheng Fa's chest.
Her calm appearance during practice made Zheng Fa feel as if his little sister had grown into a grown-up girl.
Zheng Shan practiced very hard. She had good aptitude, and Zheng Fa taught her the "Foundation Building Method of the Way of Talismans" step by step. In just one month, she had reached the first level of Qi training - not much slower than Zheng Fa at the beginning.
Of course, because she does not have the modern times to consolidate her cultivation, she will probably still be somewhat inferior to Zheng Fa in the future.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
But in the Jiushan Sect, or even in the previous Baixian League, she is definitely considered a top genius.
No wonder both Uncle Pang and Old Han, the Sword Immortal of the Setting Sun, think highly of this little fellow.
While Zheng Fa was thinking about these things, Zheng Shan in the room seemed to sense something and opened her eyes.
"elder brother!"
She cheered and jumped off the bed. From her expression, she seemed to want to jump out of the window into Zheng Fa's arms - her mother was watching.
Zheng Fa touched her head and laughed in his heart: She looked like a grown-up just now, but now she looks like a child again.
Zheng Shan arched her hand in his, then raised her head and said, "Brother, the teacher of the spell class praised me for my talent!"
After saying that, she ran back to the room and took out a dust-clearing talisman.
“Did you draw this?”
"Yeah!" Zheng Shan nodded, and then said, "I drew two, one for mom, and one for you to use when you go back!"
Looks very generous.
The function of the Dust-Clearing Talisman is probably to use static electricity to absorb dust from everywhere. It is now a very common entry-level spiritual talisman in the Nine Mountains Realm.
Zheng Fa took a look and found that it was indeed a good painting.
Zheng Fa accepted the talisman and asked Zheng Shan, "I want you to practice with Fairy Xiao. Are you willing?"
"Sister Xiao?" Zheng Shan was stunned. It seemed that she had never considered this option. She asked in confusion, "Do you want me to take Sister Xiao as my teacher?"
"Not necessarily. Just let her take you out of the Nine Mountains Realm."
This is the best way out Zheng Fa could think of - Xiao Yuying's master must be very powerful, otherwise Yan Wushuang would not have suffered such a big loss back then.
Maybe there is a way to stop the Great Free Demon Ancestor.
On the other hand, Xiao Yuying's master is independent of the Five Xuanwei Sects, so he is safer in comparison.
What's more, he thought he had a good relationship with Xiao Yuying, so he felt at ease entrusting his younger sister to her.
"Leave the Nine Mountains Realm?" Zheng Shan was even more confused. "Why do you want to leave the Nine Mountains Realm?"
Zheng Fa looked at her and understood in his heart - although this age is still considered a child in modern times.
But in the Xuanwei Realm, she has already matured, and there is no need to hide some things from her.
"If we stay in the Nine Mountains Realm, we will probably encounter great disasters." Zheng Fa whispered. His younger sister could hear his words, but his mother could not... After all, she had not practiced cultivation, so she could only worry after hearing them.
"Disaster?" As expected, Zheng Shan widened her eyes but spoke in a low voice.
"Um."
"Will I die if I stay?"
Zheng Shan asked directly.
As expected, I have seen many people die...
"Um."
"So are you leaving, brother?"
"If you don't leave, they're coming for me."
Zheng Fa shook his head.
Now that he has said it, there are many things he doesn't want to hide.
After all, if my younger sister wants to live alone in the future, I shouldn't hide it from her.
"Then I don't want to take Sister Xiao as my master!"
Zheng Shan refused directly.
Zheng Fa was not surprised. He just gently touched her head and said, "Becoming your disciple does not necessarily mean you have to leave. Maybe it's okay?"
He is just making final preparations.
"Mom said that when Dad passed away, you, brother, were about to die too." Zheng Shan suddenly talked about another thing.
"Um?"
"Mother also said that if you died, she would die too."
"I will die, too."
Zheng Fa remained silent.
Then Zheng Shan muttered again: "If I want to be a disciple, I'll be Grandpa Han's disciple!"
Zheng Fa blinked.
I don't know why she would think so.
"Grandpa Han told me that the Tianhe Sect is very powerful! If I take Grandpa Han as my master... will the Tianhe Sect be able to help you?"
What Zheng Shan meant by this was that she was actually thinking about how to sell herself for a good price so that she could help herself?
Hearing his younger sister's words, Zheng Fa couldn't help but laugh in his heart. His younger sister was still a little naive - did she think that with the Canyang Sword Immortal as a master, the Tianhe Sect would really treat the Jiushan Sect as one of their own?
Well, considering what Canyang Sword Immortal did, there is a high probability that he will be wiped out by the Tianhe Sect.
…
Since his younger sister was unwilling, Zheng Fa would not force her. At least it was still a little early to say these things now... After all, it would take some time for the Demon Ancestor to come to the world. At least according to the message from Master Cheng Kong, he destroyed two blood evil flags, and it would take some time for the other party to repair and refine them.
Zheng Fa was just about to go to Xiao Yuying to borrow a magic weapon for scanning when he was stopped by the old man on the way.
"Master?"
"Come, I have something to talk to you about."
Old man Yuan pulled Zheng Fa to his own yard, where Uncle Pang was waiting.
These two...don't seem to have such a good relationship?
"Uncle Master, you are here too?"
Zheng Fa looked at Uncle Pang, then at Old Man Yuan, wondering what these two were doing.
"cough!"
Uncle Pang coughed lightly, glanced at the old man, and said, "Your master and I have recently come to some new insights that should be of some help to you."
"New understanding?"
Zheng Fa was even more confused when he heard this and looked at Old Man Yuan.
"Don't I have a method of talisman formation?"
"Your uncle Pang has a technique called Lian Fu."
Zheng Fa nodded slightly, waiting for his master to continue explaining.
Of course he knew both of them, and had even studied them, but not in depth - at least not as deeply as the two founders.
"You asked me and your uncle to teach the disciples, and we listened to each other's secrets." The old man said, "After listening for a while, I felt that our secrets could be combined."
"At the time, we thought that since they were all developed from the Mountain and River True Shape Talisman, they were originally one and the same."
Uncle Pang added.
"so……"
"Your uncle and I worked together to come up with a method of...immortal formation."
"Immortal formation?"
Zheng Fa didn't understand, and then he saw the old man handing him a jade tube.
The jade tube contained the immortal formation method that they had researched.
The theory is actually quite simple: the old man's talisman formation relies on spiritual talismans, while this immortal formation relies on the cultivator's spellcasting.
That’s not all.
The method of talisman array has a limitation, which is that all talismans are effective at the same time. This is mainly because the cultivator's soul cannot be controlled so finely. In particular, a talisman array such as the Zhoutian Divine Thunder Array is beyond the cultivator's own cultivation level, and it is too difficult to control.
But if it were a monk, he could naturally cast spells at different times.
At this time, Uncle Pang's method of connecting talismans came in handy.
If we use a computer as an analogy, it is like adding a scheduling program to the method of talisman array, which is more flexible and can handle more tasks, thereby generating richer functions and exerting greater power.
Uncle Pang smiled and said, "If there is a method of immortal formation, the foundation-building disciples can gather together and have the strength of a golden elixir disciple at most. If the one who sets up the formation is a golden elixir disciple, if they cooperate well, even a Yuanying can try to resist it."
“Nascent Soul… Well, we don’t have that many Nascent Souls, but if we have enough, we have the confidence to face the God Transformation!”
Seeing Zheng Fa still in a daze, the old man smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said: "We old guys may not be as good as you, but this so-called Great Free Demon Ancestor... you don't have to fight alone!"
The expression on his face was extremely smug—just one sentence:
Your master is still your master!
