Chapter 334: New Look of Paradise, Old People of Jiushan

The style of the forum is a bit biased...

At the beginning, no one quite understood the trick of anonymity, and when people heard about Zhou Qianyuan’s speech, they were shocked - he was probably very depressed at the time and didn’t think much before speaking.

But those who can get the Tongjian are considered the elites of the Jiushan Sect, and there are still relatively few idiots.

Soon, there was no trace of the vests on most people.

"Senior sister, what are you doing?"

Senior Sister Zhang was leaning against the small pavilion in her own courtyard, looking relaxed, her fingers tapping on her Tongjian, just like an internet-addicted girl.

"answer the questions."

Sister Zhang didn't even raise her head and continued to immerse herself in the forum.

Zheng Fa was actually a little disappointed.

Seeing her like this, Zheng Fa felt a little curious. He immersed his consciousness into the Jade Book of Creation and immediately discovered what the stupid Senior Sister Zhang was doing.

Although she was wearing a vest, it was too obvious.

In the forum, in addition to some messy gossip posts, there are also many people asking questions.

Among them, the most popular requests are about mathematics:

Mathematics is now considered one of the foundations of the Jiushan Sect's immortal methods. All disciples know that this subject is extremely important, but on the other hand, there are too many disciples who are so overwhelmed by it that they feel like they are in heaven and die, and their spiritual faith collapses.

Among all the question-and-answer posts on the Jiushan Forum, the most common ones are about mathematical problems.

In order to encourage disciples to solve each other's problems, Zheng Fa set up a bounty system, or a scoring function - that is, the disciple who asked the question had to pay good deeds for the answer he was satisfied with. The amount was not much, and in essence it was more of an honor than reality.

But in the past two days, a good deed eater has appeared under such posts. He is a big shot who can make a fortune from such posts: an anonymous user who has solved more than 90% of the math problems in the forum by himself.

Even day and night, and never get tired of it.

The only obstacle that prevented this person from getting rich was that after he had received good deeds, he actually picked a few posts and returned the good deeds tenfold or a hundredfold...

The topics in the selected posts are often difficult or relatively new.

This anonymous user seems to be picking and choosing these math problems and then eating them all together...If there is a problem that satisfies her, she will give a reward or two.

Zheng Fa didn't even need to think about who this person was...

Zheng Fa looked at Senior Sister Zhang with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes: …She still loves doing exercises so much.

He still felt a little guilty. He had been in Jiushan Sect for several years. When he first came, he would submit some difficult questions every month. Later, he became busier and busier, and he neglected it...

No.

Zheng Fa suddenly remembered that it was not his negligence, but a long time ago, Senior Sister Zhang suddenly said that she didn't like him anymore.

Now it seems that she didn't dislike it.

Senior Sister Zhang was originally absorbed in solving the problem, but she seemed to sense Zheng Fa's gaze and looked up at him.

Seeing Zheng Fa's complicated expression, Senior Sister Zhang seemed to understand what he was thinking all of a sudden. She tilted her head, as if thinking about what to say.

“You’re busy.”

“…”

Zheng Fa knew that she was explaining why she lied to him and said she didn't like him.

He also understood that the identities of the two people were constantly changing, so naturally they would not maintain the previous model.

“I really don’t like this that much anymore…”

Senior Sister Zhang pointed at Tongjian again, and she was probably talking about the math problems in Tongjian.

Seeing that he seemed unconvinced, Senior Sister Zhang continued:

"I just do this to entertain myself when I'm bored..."

She paused, then added: "After you came, I wasn't so bored anymore."

Zheng Fa looked at Senior Sister Zhang with a serious face, and suddenly felt that even though his own Jade Book of Fortune was still several eons away from the legendary treasure... but at this moment, it seemed to be very worthwhile.

…

"I don't know whether such simplification is worth it."

On Paradise Island, Madam Xuanhua said to Zheng Fa.

When she said this, she was looking at a round golden pill above her head, her face full of uncertainty.

This golden elixir floated in the air, dozens of meters above the ground, shining brightly like a small sun, illuminating the misty night of Paradise Island.

Zheng Fa also looked at this simplified Shenxiao Golden Pill, or in other words... the first nuclear reactor in the Jiushan Realm.

The reactions in the elixir are divided into fusion, fission and mixing.

The final step of mixing, according to Zheng Fa, is to merge the generated particles with the five elements of spiritual energy.

To simplify the Golden Elixir, it is a nuclear reactor that only has fusion and fission, and is used purely as an energy source.

"Thank you for your hard work, Madam Xuanhua."

Zheng Fa's gratitude was truly sincere - whether it was the Jade Book of Creation or the simplified golden elixir, Madam Xuanhua made great contributions.

"This is not difficult." Madam Xuanhua waved her hands and didn't seem to care about the simplified golden elixir. She brought up the topic of whether it was worth it or not and said, "It's just... this thing took a lot of resources after all. Are they all for the mortals of Paradise Island?"

This kind of doubt is not only held by Madam Xuanhua, but also by the disciples who make simplified golden elixirs, and even by every disciple of Jiushan Sect.

Zheng Fa motioned for her to look into the distance.

The location of the simplified golden elixir is right in the center of Paradise Island.

From Mrs. Xuanhua's perspective, Paradise Island seemed to have turned into a firework - from the center of Paradise Island to the edge, street lights lit up one after another, illuminating the village on the island.

As a Yuanying Zhenren, Madam Xuanhua could even hear the admiration and cheers coming from those villages.

She pursed her lips, as if she understood what Zheng Fa meant, but her face still showed indifference.

Zheng Fa also understood that Madam Xuanhua had a different personality from his own, and what ordinary people were like was almost not within her consideration.

He doesn't force everyone to think the same way as he does.

Zheng Fa waved to Madam Xuanhua, and the two of them walked towards Zheng Fa's home, one in front and one behind.

As they walked, Zheng Fa suddenly mentioned something:

"When I first entered the sect, I met a senior brother named Zhuang."

Madam Xuanhua looked puzzled, but she still listened quietly.

"He asked me a question back then."

At that time, Zheng Fa had just entered Jiushan Sect and went to Lunfu Pavilion for class for the first time - and then he was treated differently by Senior Brother Zhuang.

As time goes by, he actually no longer cares about this matter.

But he always remembered Senior Brother Zhuang’s question.

"He asked me, when spiritual energy is abundant, most mortals are unable to practice and enjoy the power and convenience granted by spiritual energy."

“But when spiritual energy declines, they are the ones who pay the price the most.”

"So he thought... Is the spiritual energy, or the cultivator, the poison of the Xuanwei Realm?"

Madam Xuanhua retorted: "How can this be compared? How can a divine being be the same as a mortal?"

Zheng Fa nodded slightly, as if agreeing with her, but said nothing.

The two walked towards Zheng Fa's yard in silence.

There are street lights on in every village along the way.

"Street lights" are actually a very cheap "Tongjian".

To put it simply, it is a signal receiver.

The Nine Mountains Realm is different from the modern one after all—it has spiritual energy.

In modern nuclear reactors, energy storage and conversion are actually mostly based on the idea of ​​"boiling water", and transmission naturally relies on wires.

But the Nine Mountain Realm is different.

The interference of spiritual energy in the Nine Mountains Realm caused the cost of wired transmission to be too high.

On average, a set of shielding runes is required every five meters...

The consumption of this spiritual material is too much.

But the Nine Mountains Realm has special advantages, and immortal cultivators can easily accomplish things that modern technology cannot - such as almost lossless radio wave transmission.

The more Zheng Fa studied the communication talisman, the more magical it seemed to him: in order to ensure the stability of information, the electromagnetic waves in the communication talisman were lossless during the transmission process...

Therefore, today's Jiushan street lights are actually relying on variant communication symbols to spread light.

In this way, the street lights on Paradise Island only need to analyze the communication symbols, and even the light itself is the electromagnetic waves generated by the golden elixir...

In other words, the street lights in Jiushanjie not only do not require wires, they don't even need to emit light themselves, so they don't even have light-emitting components.

This thing has extremely low cost and very long service life.

Zheng Fa took Madam Xuanhua to the gate of his yard.

In the yard, my younger sister Zheng Shan's voice could be heard, laughing: "Mom! This light is so bright!"

My younger sister was talking about a street lamp at the gate of the courtyard.

To be honest, this is kind of partiality...

In other words, it was the little thoughts of those disciples when planning the street lights.

After all, street lamps are not without cost, so they are not installed in households nowadays, but it is naturally very important to choose which house they are closer to.

Look, there is a lamp at the entrance of Zheng's courtyard...

What happened was indisputable, surprising no one, and happened naturally.

Zheng Fa knew this a long time ago, but he did not stop it, nor did he want to stop it - he cared about everyone in the Jiushan Realm, but the ones he cared about most were naturally his relatives and friends.

So he did not refute Mrs. Xuanhua.

When they walked into the yard, they saw Zheng's mother standing in the yard, squinting her eyes and looking at the street lights outside the yard.

The street lamp was very bright, illuminating Zheng's mother's face.

The hard work in her early years left some wrinkles on Zheng's mother's face.

Even though Zheng Fa had been teaching her martial arts, Zheng's mother did not make much progress... It was not just a matter of talent, but the education she, Zheng Fa, and even her younger sister Zheng Shan received since childhood was different.

When faced with many things, she would always first have the thought that she was not capable of it, and she didn't even have much curiosity - sometimes, when Zheng Fa talked with others about cultivating immortals, she would leave on her own accord.

In fact, I feel more that cultivating immortals is very far away from me and something that I cannot achieve.

In Zheng Fa's opinion, this is the most likely thing that prevents people from making progress.

Today, the wrinkles on Zheng's mother's face were somewhat relaxed, and there was a rare curiosity in her eyes as she looked towards the street lamp.

"Is this... a lamp?"

She asked Zheng Fa.

Zheng Fa nodded.

"It's so bright... much brighter than a candle," Zheng's mother asked again, "how is this thing made?"

Zheng Fa was not impatient because of Zheng's mother's lack of cultivation, but explained softly what the golden elixir was and what the simplified golden elixir was.

Mother Zheng also listened more attentively than usual.

After a long time, Zheng's mother slowly nodded.

"Cultivating immortals is a good thing."

Madam Xuanhua was a little puzzled. Who doesn’t know that cultivating immortality is good?

Did Zheng Fa's mother only find out today?

Unexpectedly, Zheng's mother slowly counted on her fingers and said:

“We are producing more food than before.”

“There are more dishes than before.”

She looked at the several acres of vegetable garden in the corner of the yard and smiled.

Then she looked up at the street lights in the sky.

“The lights are brighter than before.”

Zheng Fa listened to his mother's comments without looking at Madam Xuanhua, but Madam Xuanhua inexplicably understood one thing -

Sometimes, these few words from Zheng's mother might make Zheng Fa feel it's worth it.

However, the goodness of Zheng's mother was different from the goodness of cultivating immortals that she had understood before, and she couldn't quite explain the difference.

If Zheng Fa were to explain it, it would probably be - money is a good thing, science is also a good thing, but these two things are good in different ways.

…

Madam Xuanhua said goodbye to Zheng Fa and the other two and walked from Paradise Island towards Wanxian Island.

Somehow, she always noticed things that she would never notice in the past -

After a day of hard work, several farmers were moving their stools to sit under the lamp, enjoying their rare leisure time.

There was a young man who did not look wealthy. He was standing under a street light, holding a school textbook and reading silently.

The fields had also become different. Some lights were installed in several experimental fields, and several agronomy disciples stood in them, seemingly recording something: Madam Xuanhua knew that this was a new project set up by Zheng Fashe, which seemed to be exploring the effects of light on the many crops in the Jiushan Realm, in order to further increase the grain production in the Jiushan Realm.

As she walked, she suddenly understood why Zheng Fa mentioned Brother Zhuang:

In response to Senior Brother Zhuang's question, she refuted it.

But Zheng Fa's answer is these now -

Aura and monks may be the source of suffering for mortals in the Xuanwei world.

But it is different in the Nine Mountains Realm.

She stopped quietly and looked in the direction of Zheng Fa's family. She didn't know which answer was more realistic, but she knew which answer would be more convincing to the monk named Zhuang.

…

The simplified Jindan not only changed the appearance of Le Tu Island, but also Jingkai Island.

Compared with the plain street lights on Paradise Island, the changes on Economic Development Island are much more exaggerated - many store fronts have become colorful and the signs are even more dazzling.

The lighting in the store was very skillfully designed, shining on the goods. The monks who came here for the first time always stopped unconsciously and couldn't help but open their storage bags.

In fact, these "special effects" were available in many big sects' shops in the past.

But there is no place like Jingkai Island, where even the shops opened by mortals can be so gorgeous and exquisite. Hundreds of shops together make the night sky look much gentler, making the eyes of those monks who have never seen such a scenery insufficient.

Jingkai Island has been thriving these days: what businessmen desire most is stability...Now that the Xuanwei Realm is becoming increasingly chaotic, the news of the Demon Ancestor's arrival is spreading everywhere, causing panic among the people. The current stability of the Jiushan Realm is naturally extremely precious.

On the other hand, the reputation of external elixirs is also growing, especially among some foundation-building cultivators, who are even willing to spend all their money to buy one to improve their strength.

Nowadays, Jiushan Sect even has to limit the sale of external pills - the output is only about one pill per month.

People on Jingkai Island were walking in the flowing lights and shadows. At a time when the situation in the Xuanwei world was becoming increasingly tense, they actually felt the long-lost scene of prosperity.

"Is this the Jiushan Sect?"

A woman looked around with great interest and suddenly asked the man next to her.

The man nodded.

"Why would you betray this sect?" The woman's eyes widened. "Are you dissatisfied with your life being too comfortable?"

Chen Ting twitched his lips, looking at the bright lights on Jingkai Island, the expression on his face seemed to be from another world——

When I defected from Jiushan Sect, it didn't look like this! (End of this chapter)
