Chapter 330 Reverse Engineering, the Truth about Wood
Zheng Fa looked at the jade tube in his hand again, his expression focused and thoughtful.
Both the old men could see that Zheng Fa was very interested in this immortal formation.
The two looked at each other and laughed, their eyes full of pride.
"how?"
The elder asked.
"With this immortal formation..." Zheng Fa raised his head and praised without reservation: "Master, you should be placed in the Temple of the Sages."
"Hey!" The old man waved his hand and said, "What are we fighting for with those disciples?"
"That's right!" Uncle Pang nodded.
"It is more regrettable that your uncle and I have not comprehended any secret techniques together in these years."
"Yes, it was you who taught me the magic of talismans. It has been thousands of years..."
"This immortal formation is just something I got when I had a flash of inspiration. Compared with the friendship between us two brothers, it is not worth mentioning. It is not worth mentioning."
"That's right... huh?"
Uncle Pang looked at his fellow apprentice in confusion.
"Oh, and your uncle's insignificant contribution."
"...You, Yuan!"
Zheng Fa: ...No wonder you two haven't cooperated for thousands of years.
But from the Master's joke, it can be seen that the relationship between the two is much better than before.
Especially his own master, after giving up the position of head of the sect, his temperament became more lively, talking and laughing freely, and invisibly repaired many rifts of the previous generation.
Seeing him smiling at the two of them, the old man said again:
"I can't figure out the level of the Great Free Demon Ancestor's cultivation, but with this immortal formation, we will never be a burden to you in the future. If there are really people who want to humiliate my Nine Mountains Sect, let them see what unity means!"
Zheng Fa felt a little warm in his heart.
The method of the immortal formation comes from the talisman formation, but because the mysterious world's spiritual talismans and spells are actually two sides of the same coin, there is the operation of using people instead of talismans.
After listening to Master's words, he also understood why the two elders wanted to study this thing——
Firstly, it was natural that Zheng Fa was committed to enabling the cultivators of the Nine Mountains Realm to communicate with each other and break down many knowledge barriers.
In the past, Old Man Yuan knew how to form talisman formations, and Uncle Pang had the art of connecting talismans. Both of them knew it very well, but the so-called secret methods were naturally not easily shown to others. These two skills could only be learned by direct disciples.
After entering the Nine Mountains Realm, because of Zheng Fa's philosophy, both of them taught their own secret methods on the University Island, and naturally they would not hide them from each other.
After a while, it is normal for everyone to have their own understanding.
This immortal formation not only bears traces of talisman formations and linked talisman techniques, it even has some of Senior Sister Zhang's ideas about spiritual energy circuits. It can be said to be one of the culmination of the Nine Mountains Talisman Arts.
He looked at the two elders, feeling somewhat proud - since they were able to achieve Nascent Soul stage, their comprehension and talent were naturally top choices. If they could not make progress, sometimes they could only blame luck.
Sometimes, it’s just a matter of system, and being too self-centered can actually do greater harm to geniuses.
Zhou Qianyuan was able to gain some insights, and it was not surprising to him that these two elders were even more talented and knowledgeable than him, and they were still able to make progress under the current system of the Nine Mountains Realm.
What made him feel warm was actually the kindness of the two elders.
The reason why he brought out this talisman array at this time was probably just as what the old man said - he just wanted to help.
The old man pretended to be relaxed and said, "I just got some sudden realization. What's the reason for your expression?"
“Tsk…”
“…”
The old man looked at the strange-looking Uncle Pang.
"Uncle Master?"
Zheng Fa also looked at Uncle Pang.
"We did have an idea for this immortal formation a long time ago." Uncle Pang glanced at the old man and said, "But in the past half month, I don't know who has been asking me to comprehend this every day without a break."
"I have some understanding now, so I came here to guard it."
Zheng Fa looked towards the old man, only to see that he had already walked away, pretending to be very busy.
He couldn't help but smile, and looked at Uncle Pang who was still standing beside him. After thinking for a while, he said, "Uncle Pang, please select disciples for us and preside over the practice of the immortal formation."
Although the core of this immortal formation is the elder's talisman formation, the backbone of the formation is Uncle Pang's method of connecting talismans - in simple terms, many disciples are divided into several or even dozens of groups, each with their own tasks.
Each group must have a disciple who has cultivated the Dongxu Spirit Eye, who uses the concept of the Lianfu method to observe the fluctuations of spiritual energy and direct the disciples in the group to cast spells at the appropriate time.
Only in this way can it be called cooperation.
This is a bit like Zheng Fa's operation during the Golden Elixir Project. Perhaps the two elders also found some inspiration from it.
Uncle Pang smiled and nodded. He was naturally happy - once this immortal formation method was released, his disciples became more important to the Nine Mountains Realm.
Zheng Fa was no less happy than Uncle Pang:
The method of the immortal formation is naturally nothing nowadays. It can only be said to be the old man’s intention - after all, facing the Great Free Demon Ancestor, this method of the immortal formation will not be of any help.
What Zheng Fa values is the compatibility of this method with the Jiushan Sect. This way of fighting is extremely consistent with the current situation of the Jiushan Realm:
Use the majority to defeat the minority, the weak to defeat the strong, and use strong organization and training to gain the advantage in fighting.
Zheng Fa actually had a hidden worry before, which was that after entering the Nine Mountains Realm, because life was relatively stable, in fact, not just Zheng Fa, but every disciple of the Nine Mountains inevitably changed their mentality.
The Xuanwei Realm is in turmoil, and the cultivators in the Xuanwei Realm will naturally face more battles, and their fighting methods will become more sophisticated.
This can be seen from the previous Hundred Immortals Dharma Assembly - the fighting methods of the Hundred Immortals Alliance disciples were all varied and it opened Zheng Fa's eyes.
The disciples of Jiushan inevitably fell behind.
This is a shortcoming of the Nine Mountains System. Zheng Fa has always been aware of this and has always wanted to make up for it with simulation exercises, but it is fake after all, and the mentality is different.
But with the method of the Immortal Formation, things are different. It can be said that the Immortal Formation has allowed Zheng Fa to find a way to make up for personal courage by relying on organizational skills.
This is a bit like the difference between the so-called fighting generals and modern warfare in another world.
Because the strength gap between the cultivators in the Xuanwei Realm is too great... the struggle between forces is more inclined to fight generals.
But things are different with the method of immortal formation.
Although the immortal formation method is not without limits and even has many restrictions, the idea of gathering everyone's strength to compete with high-level cultivators is vaguely consistent with Zheng Fa's conception of the Nine Mountains Realm.
In the future, we must make the name of Wanxian Island live up to its name...
Zheng Fa looked at the old man's back and thought to himself: This kind of sensible master should be transformed into a god! Although he did not envy Xiao Yuying for being a second-generation god.
But the desire to help his teacher become successful is particularly burning at this moment.
…
The second generation Xiao Yuying looked at Zheng Fa walking into her yard with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "What are you so happy about?"
Xiao Yuying and Madam Xuanhua lived next to each other. When Zheng Fa arrived, Madam Xuanhua also ran over with concern on her face.
They did not go when the Blood River Ancestor was subdued that day, so naturally they did not know that the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor was very interested in Zheng Fa.
However, the fact that the Great Free Demon Ancestor wanted to come to Chenjun was related to the overall situation of Xuanwei, so Zheng Fa did not hide it from the two.
Therefore, when Zheng Fa arrived, Xiao Yuying and the others looked very concerned, after all, this matter was really too big.
I didn't expect Zheng Fa to smile so happily and didn't look worried at all.
"Well, my master has made great progress under my guidance, which makes me feel very happy."
Zheng Fa laughed.
Xiao Yuying and Zheng Fa looked at each other, feeling confused. They even felt that Zheng Fa was under too much pressure and was losing his mind.
Zheng Fa put away the jade tube in his hand and said to Xiao Yuying, "Fairy Xiao, what do you think about the Great Free Demon Ancestor's plan to descend to the world?"
"It would be best if we can stop them." Xiao Yuying said bluntly, "My master once said that Venerable Tianhe had killed several demon ancestors, including Da Zizai... Da Zizai demon ancestor, I'm afraid he has bad intentions."
Zheng Fa's expression was full of surprise. This was really not a simple statement:
The Great Free Demon Ancestor was killed by Venerable Tianhe, but he actually came back to life... This was enough to shock him.
Come to think of it, judging from what Elder Xuehe said, it seems that this Great Free Demon Ancestor has been sleeping all the time, and he is probably seriously injured if not dead? What he didn't expect was that Xiao Yuying's master actually knew about this, and it even sounded like her master knew Venerable Tianhe and Great Free Demon Ancestor very well...
Fairy Xiao, isn't your background too powerful?
As for Xiao Yuying's worries, Zheng Fa understood them - having been killed by Venerable Tianhe, the Great Free Demon Ancestor naturally wanted to take revenge, and perhaps he had accumulated a lot of anger.
"So, the Tianhe Sect should be the most anxious."
Zheng Fa thought about it and said softly.
Although the Tianhe Sect seemed to have betrayed Venerable Tianhe, no one dared to bet against the Great Free Demon Ancestor's reason under the name of Tianhe.
What's more, the arrival of the Demon Ancestor is likely to destroy the existing order - as one of the Five Xuanwei Sects, the Tianhe Sect is bound to be on the opposite side of it.
"I heard that Master Chengkong was the first one to send a letter to Tianhe Sect."
After hearing what Xiao Yuying said, Zheng Fa also put the matter aside and bowed to Xiao Yuying and said, "Fairy Xiao, I have something to ask of you."
Xiao Yuying's eyes fell on Zheng Fa, waiting for him to speak.
"Fairy Xiao also knows that after I reach Dan, I will forge my own life-defining magic weapon... I have already planned what power this magic weapon should have, but I just don't know how to design it for the time being."
"How can I help you?"
"I've heard for a long time that you have a lot of magic weapons, Fairy Xiao."
Zheng Fa pursed his lips, seeming a little embarrassed.
But at this moment, things have reached an extremely urgent point. He must determine the shape of his magic weapon as soon as possible, and begin to condense it, striving for a breakthrough in his cultivation.
Among them, in addition to understanding the essence of the five elements spiritual materials, it is also necessary to figure out the design method of magic weapons.
Xiao Yuying was quite generous. The jade bracelet on her right hand flashed with white light, and a palace with red walls and golden tiles appeared above Zheng Fa's head.
Zheng Fa looked up and his breath caught in his throat.
This thing is actually a magic weapon? "This is where I store my magic weapons."
"An entire palace?"
Zheng Fa's eyes widened.
Hearing this, Xiao Yuying shook her head slightly, and Zheng Fa couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
"This is where I store my killing magic weapon."
"...besides the killing magic weapon?"
"The protective magic weapon also has a palace."
"As for other rare treasures, I have a house for them, too."
Zheng Fa took a deep breath and suddenly understood why everyone hated Xiao Yuying so much - who wouldn't be angry after hearing this?
It is enough for an ordinary cultivator to be happy if he has a magical weapon that is his own life.
But Xiao Yuying actually set up a magic weapon museum? But thinking about Xiao Yuying's Yuan magnetic body and her background, it doesn't seem to be worth making a fuss about.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
But under the shining light of the palace, Xiao Yuying's face looked particularly attractive...
As if she understood Zheng Fa's envy, Xiao Yuying said, "Having more magic weapons is naturally beneficial, but human spirit and magic power are limited. I usually use no more than three magic weapons."
“These are the ones I didn’t have time to sell, or the ones I found interesting and didn’t want to sell.”
"Sometimes I have too many magic weapons and I have no place to put them."
...My Nine Mountains Realm is vast!
Zheng Fa held back and said nothing, and followed Xiao Yuying into the palace.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw that the three walls of the palace were filled with treasures. On one side were hung flying swords, on one side were hung swords, spears, axes, halberds and other weapons, and on the last side were hung some common magic weapons such as spiritual flags and black banners.
There are several platforms in the middle of the room.
On the stage were treasures such as jade seals, jade rings, and jade hairpins.
It's really clearly classified and has everything.
Xiao Yuying looked at Zheng Fa, seemingly curious about why he wanted to see these magic weapons.
Zheng Fa took a deep breath and shot out the Five Elements Divine Light at a flying sword on the wall.
As the Five Elements Divine Light swept across the flying sword, the general structure of the flying sword immediately emerged in his soul, especially the path of the flow of spiritual energy in it, which was particularly clear.
He pondered carefully for a while, and then magical gestures flew in his hands, and a curtain of light appeared in front of the three people.
"This is……"
Xiao Yuying couldn't see it, but Madam Xuanhua saw it clearly at a glance...
"This is what I sensed about the treasure's interior, including its general spiritual materials and the trajectory of the spiritual energy flow."
Madam Xuanhua turned her head and stared at Zheng Fa for a long time before she turned back to look at the image on the light screen.
Seeing her fascinated look, Zheng Fa laughed in his heart - the five-colored divine light can scan the structure of magic weapons, but it does not mean that Zheng Fa can understand this thing. At most, he knows what the functions of these spiritual energy circuits are, but he can't figure out how to combine them with spiritual materials.
In Jiushan Sect, the only person who could possibly truly understand this is Madam Xuanhua in front of him.
What Zheng Fa wants to do now is reverse engineering:
He was responsible for scanning the blueprints, and Madam Xuanhua was responsible for analyzing them until they were able to reverse engineer these magic weapons.
Xiao Yuying's eyes flashed with brilliance, and she suddenly asked, "Innate magical power?"
“…”
Zheng Fa looked at Xiao Yuying and was even more speechless - You know this too?
"My master said so," Xiao Yuying explained. She thought for a moment and then said, "My master also said that innate supernatural powers are actually a gift given to cultivators when they have comprehended part of the Way of Heaven and the connection between heaven and earth."
"A natural divine power is only granted once."
Zheng Fa suddenly understood what he heard, but he was even more confused. How did Xiao Yuying know that the innate magical power would only be granted once?
Moreover, Heavenly Dao? Is there really Heavenly Dao in the Xuanwei Realm? Xiao Yuying said, "Back then, Venerable Tianhe wanted to guide his disciples to comprehend their innate magical powers, but no one could be granted by Heavenly Dao again, so this saying came about."
“…”
Zheng Fa frowned slightly. Xiao Yuying's words today suddenly made him guess - could it be that Xiao Yuying's master had met Tianhe Zun? How old is he?
...It's too scary.
As if she noticed that his expression was not right, Xiao Yuying said again: "My master has long stopped interfering in the disputes of the Xuanwei Realm...it was also an accident that he accepted me as his disciple."
As for what the accident was, she didn't seem to want to talk about it.
Zheng Fa did not ask any more questions and just looked at Madam Xuanhua who was still excited.
"Ma'am? What do you see?"
"This sword must have been made by a thunder cultivator. Some parts of it are very similar to the thunder magic weapon that I know."
Zheng Fa looked at Xiao Yuying and saw her nodding and said, "This is also the reason why I left this magic weapon. It suits me."
Hearing this, Zheng Fa knew that Madam Xuanhua's explanation was correct, and he could not help but take out the jade tube and write down the analysis in it.
Madam Xuanhua pointed at the pattern of the flying sword and talked for a long time. She roughly knew what was going on in some parts, but she was not very clear about some others.
After she finished speaking, Xiao Yuying would also comment. She naturally had a general understanding of the functions of the magic weapons here, which was enough to verify Madam Xuanhua's guess.
After analyzing one flying sword, Zheng Fa used the Five Elements Divine Light to scan another flying sword. What surprised them was that there was a place in the upper flying sword, whose function even Madam Xuanhua did not understand.
However, this structure appeared again in this flying sword. By comparing the two and the similarities in the magical powers of the two flying swords, this little mystery was actually solved - that is to say, even if it was a magic weapon that Madam Xuanhua did not understand, by comparing it with similar magic weapons, she could actually guess a general idea.
This made Mrs. Xuanhua even more excited.
"sweep!"
"Come again!"
"Not so soon?"
Zheng Fa had never expected that Xiao Yuying had so many magic weapons that he would use up all his magic power with the Five Color Divine Light...
While recovering his magic power, he looked at some of the similarities he had summarized: what he had just scanned were all offensive treasures, most of which were hard in texture, so there were a lot of gold-element spiritual materials in them, and other non-gold-element spiritual materials were just embellishments.
Some even only have gold-type spiritual materials.
The spiritual energy in these spiritual materials formed some talismans, which in turn added some magical powers to these magic weapons.
What Zheng Fa needs to figure out now is what kind of arrangement of spiritual materials can form a corresponding spiritual energy circuit.
"So, the purpose of the gold element spiritual material is to increase the hardness of the magic weapon, and the corresponding spiritual energy circuit is to give the magic weapon magical powers?"
After listening to Zheng Fa's statement, Madam Xuanhua concluded.
Zheng Fa nodded slightly and said, "I'm afraid this is the case with ordinary magic weapons."
"Ordinary magic weapon?"
"The spiritual energy circuits of ordinary magic weapons are simple, and they usually only have one or a few magical powers. The so-called spiritual energy circuits are actually just corresponding symbols." Zheng Fa explained, "But the life magic weapons, or the spiritual weapons of the gods, are different."
"How is it different?"
Zheng Fa thought about it and said, "My natal spiritual treasure has a more complex spiritual energy circuit and contains all five elements."
"All five elements?"
"Yes, I have seen Senior Sister Zhang's Feixian Pen, and I have also tried to scan the flying sword of the Blood River Patriarch... I have found the Five Elements Spiritual Materials in both magic weapons."
"even……"
Zheng Fa's tone was unusually hesitant.
"Even what?"
Xiao Yuying and the other two looked at Zheng Fa in confusion, and then they heard Zheng Fa say in a low voice: "Even the spiritual energy circuits in the life magic weapon are in pairs."
"In pairs?"
Xiao Yuying and the others saw that Zheng Fa had a strange look on his face, and they didn't know why the matter of the paired spiritual energy circuits made Zheng Fa so hesitant.
This matter...only Old Man Bai and others understand it.
…
"In pairs?"
Before the old man could react, Teacher Tian frowned and asked in surprise, "You mean, double-chain structure?"
"yes……"
Zheng Fa drew the spiritual energy circuit in the Feixian Pen on the blueprint and said, "I have never been able to figure out what the wood spiritual material looks like before... but now I think that the spiritual energy bond corresponding to this thing is probably similar to the hydrogen bond that connects the double strands of DNA."
Old Man Bai and his companions hadn't reacted yet, but the serious university student Tang Lingwu slapped her forehead and said suddenly, "Only this kind of structure can best achieve self-replication, which corresponds to the growth ability of the wood element..."
"Just like cell replication, one becomes two, two becomes four..."
She couldn't help but laugh as she spoke: "Then we now have a comprehensive understanding of the Five Elements Spiritual Materials, right? You can start designing your own magical treasure now!"
Tang Lingwu was right. Zheng Fa collected many spiritual circuits and structures of magic weapons from Xiao Yuying, and had a preliminary understanding of the essence of the five elements spiritual materials. At least there would be no obstacles in designing his own magic weapon.
But Zheng Fa, Old Man Bai and others did not laugh.
"Zheng Fa?"
Tang Lingwu looked at everyone in confusion.
Then Zheng Fa said, "So similar..."
Zheng Fa knew that the modern world was connected to the mysterious world.
But now, the spiritual bond corresponding to this wood element spiritual material actually corresponds to the double helix of DNA...which makes Zheng Fa fall into deeper confusion.
The spiritual bonds corresponding to the four elements of gold, water, fire and earth can be found everywhere in the material world, but the structure similar to the double helix of DNA can almost be called a miracle of life - the spiritual material of the wood element corresponds to it, which is so coincidental that it is shocking.
Just as he said, it was so similar that he had already seen clues from the Feixian Pen, but he was still not sure.
