Chapter 347: Returning from Study, Unexpected
In a nursing home.
The Jade Book of Creation floated above Zheng Fa's head, emitting a mysterious purple light that shone onto the tablet in Zheng Fa's hand.
In just a breath, the Jade Book of Creation lost its light and fell into his hands obediently.
"Is it over?"
The old man with bated breath asked anxiously, looking at the Jade Book of Fortune held by Zheng Fa, seeming a little curious.
Zheng Fa chuckled and handed the Jade Book of Creation to the old man.
With the Jade Book of Good Fortune, he no longer has to memorize things by rote...
The old man took the magic weapon and touched it over and over again, full of curiosity like a naughty child.
It goes without saying that this is also the first real magic weapon in modern times...if you don't count the voltage generator.
Magical weapons have always been legends in modern times!
If it were in the Xuanwei Realm, no cultivator would rashly hand over his or her own magical weapon to others to play with.
This kind of behavior is taboo and it should never be done to anyone other than your closest relatives and loved ones.
Even Senior Sister Zhang's Feixian Pen was something Zheng Fa had never touched.
But Zheng Fa looked at the old man holding up the Jade Book of Creation, squinting his eyes and observing the sun in the sky, without any worry in his heart.
Dearest ones...
Who says this old man isn’t? The book “Topology in Talismans – Starting from the Small Cloud and Rain Talisman” is only the first edition: Talisman diagrams are not included and are not completely discussed.
There are still some details that Old Man Bai was unable to complete due to time constraints.
But now the workload is already enormous. Collecting the talismans is easy, but to provide corresponding analysis for each talisman will take more than one or two months.
The old man didn't know how long he had been preparing, how much thought he had put into it, and how many nights he had worked silently.
Well, now that I think about it, it might really be my fault that Teacher Tian doesn’t have children…
After a while, the old man handed the Jade Book of Fortune to Zheng Fa, seeming to feel a little bored: "This thing... is not interesting at all!"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Fa lowered his eyes slightly.
In fact, there is an interesting way to play - he has considered whether to practice a few Tongjian in modern times and let Old Man Bai and others play with it in the forum.
If Zhengfa is used as the server, the possibility of achieving this is not small.
But after thinking it over, he gave up: not only was he worried about Old Man Bai and the others knowing about the other world, not to mention his trust in these people, but even in terms of safety, Zheng Fa was not afraid of exposing some secrets in modern times.
The problem is, Old Man Bai and the others are also his secrets!
The rock that was previously obtained from the secret realm of Tianhe Reverend made Zheng Fa understand one thing: the Five Xuanwei Sects were looking for the Yin-Yang fish jade pendant.
Do they know that the Yin-Yang Fish Jade Pendant is related to the modern world? If so, letting Old Man Bai and his group communicate directly with the Xuanwei Realm would be too risky.
Zheng Fa took the Jade Book of Creation. On the second page of the Jade Book of Creation, there was a word that Old Man Bai and others could not understand - it was the word "Fu" in the ancient Xuanwei font.
With Old Man Bai's book as the starting point, the knowledge base of talismans in the Jade Book of Creation, or the knowledge intranet, has officially begun to be established.
According to Zheng Fa's idea.
In the future, Tongjian users can be roughly divided into two types:
One is an anonymous user who can only access relatively insignificant pages such as forums.
One type is not anonymous, and they must be identified before they have permission to access the knowledge intranet that Zheng Fa had just established.
Simply put, it is the difference between internal and external networks.
"Now that you have the Jade Book of Fortune, when are you going to do that... controlled nuclear fusion?" The old man's eyes sparkled, as if he thought that thing was a little more interesting. "Then Team Leader Yang is waiting!"
Zheng Fa thought for a while and said, "This matter really needs to be put on the agenda after the spiritual root issue is resolved."
What the old man was talking about was the golden elixir.
The main use of this thing in modern times is the spiritual material synthesis factory - on the one hand, this thing can be provided for the cultivation of Old Man Bai and others, and on the other hand, it can cooperate with modern industrial accumulation to optimize the production process.
Feed back to the Nine Mountains Realm’s spiritual material synthesis technology.
Zheng Fa always kept it in mind.
The old man nodded slightly, and suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and rushed out in a hurry.
"Professor Bai?"
"I've been so busy with your book these days that I haven't had time to spend with Xiaotian! She has ignored me recently..."
Zheng Fa stretched out his hand, but didn't have time to say something: "Is it possible... that Teacher Tian ignored you because she is busier?"
…
Teacher Tian is busy helping Zheng Fa cultivate the next generation.
Facts have proved that having a child is not easy, and it is even more difficult for men to give birth to a child.
"Dead again?"
In the laboratory, Zheng Fa looked at Teacher Tian who was a little frustrated and asked.
"Yes, once the spiritual energy structure in your cells entered those plant cells, not only did it not allow them to survive, but they died very quickly."
Teacher Tian paused and said, "In three seconds, you will die."
"It's not just mulberry tree cells... it's true for all plant cells."
A group of people frowned and were thinking.
Tang Lingwu slowly said: "There are three possibilities..."
"First, our theory is wrong. The aura structure cannot be used as a cell nucleus."
Zheng Fa didn't say anything. This was the worst possible scenario, and it was very likely.
After all, this theory has no precedent in the world of Xuanwei, that is, there is no successful sample.
However, this reason for failure is the most helpless one - because they can't find a solution.
"Second, the species is wrong." Tang Lingwu seemed to think that the first reason was unsolvable, so she let it go and continued, "The mulberry trees and plants on the mountain are far from the legendary Fusang trees."
"I will ask the grain company to continue looking for seeds. Aunt Yang will also help us keep an eye out and even call in some rare seeds from various seed banks."
Zheng Fa nodded.
This matter really depends on the country...
However, this species is not right, and hope can still be found in the Xuanwei world.
After all, modern and Xuanwei are different, and many species are only found in Xuanwei.
Maybe the plants suitable for growing hibiscus trees cannot be found in modern times, but can be found in Xuanwei? Even...
Zheng Fa suddenly had an idea: The spiritual roots of heaven and earth are precious, but could the spiritual roots of heaven and earth have close relatives?
If we can find a close relative of the Fusang tree, will the result be different? In this case, hope may still fall on the Five Sects of Xuanwei - if the spiritual root of heaven and earth really has a close relative, it is probably a relatively rare spiritual plant.
The groups most likely to know this information are the Five Xuanwei Sects.
"The third is the environmental problem. For example, the concentration of spiritual energy is not enough for the spiritual roots of heaven and earth to survive."
After listening to Tang Lingwu's summary, everyone felt that the problem might arise from these three points.
The old man glanced at Zheng Fa and suddenly said, "Zheng Fa, you don't seem to be in a hurry at all?"
"No hurry." Zheng Fa said with a smile, "Research is always full of difficulties."
"You were in a hurry these days..." the old man muttered.
…
Zheng Fa is indeed not in a hurry.
Fuso wood cannot be cultivated, but the problem is... he thought of another technology.
Zheng Fa, who had just returned from his studies, summoned Senior Sister Zhang, Uncle Pang and Master Qian to his own courtyard - the courtyard in Jiushanjie.
"Cell dedifferentiation?"
After listening to Zheng Fa's words, Qian Zhenren scratched the back of his head, with a look on his face - why didn't I think of that! Zheng Fa remembered the differentiation and dedifferentiation of plant cells when Teacher Tian mentioned cloning.
To put it simply, dedifferentiation of plant cells is to take advantage of the omnipotence of plant cells, place some root tip cells or stem and leaf cells in a culture dish, and with the help of various hormones and nutrients, turn them into undifferentiated cells that can develop into the entire plant.
To put it more bluntly, it means using a leaf to grow a complete plant!
"You mean...Qingjingzhu?"
Uncle Pang spoke in a low voice, and his tone was a little trembling, as if he was afraid that the sound would be heard.
When Zheng Fa took one look at this uncle-master, he noticed that his face was flushed and his eyes were full of reverie.
Even... Zheng Fa could hear that Senior Sister Zhang's breathing had become much heavier.
It can be seen that she was also somewhat excited.
"That's right... I don't know how similar or different the Heavenly Spiritual Root is from ordinary plants, but as long as its cells also possess omnipotence..."
"If we can't grow hibiscus trees, then we can just make do with pure bamboo, right?"
Zheng Fa said with a smile.
This was the reason why he suddenly became less anxious. Perhaps hibiscus trees were too difficult to grow.
But Qingjing Bamboo is much simpler!
"Qing Jing Zhu... just making do?"
Uncle Pang's face twitched. If Master Chengkong heard this, he would cry! Seeing the three people's excited expressions, Zheng Fa poured cold water on them:
"There are two difficulties. The first is how to achieve dedifferentiation of plants."
This technology is of course mature in modern times.
But in the Nine Mountains Realm, it can only be said to be a starting point. It has actually been achieved before, but it has not been studied thoroughly. Master Qian also thinks it is the effect of magic.
"The second most important thing is - can Pure and Quiet Bamboo be cultivated this way?"
Senior Sister Zhang calmed down a little after hearing this and said:
"Then why not take both approaches? We need both Fusang wood and Qingjing bamboo."
"At least we have the Pure Bamboo, which is much more likely to be able to cultivate the Fusang tree!"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Pang couldn't help but sigh: "When you said you wanted to borrow the Qingjing Bamboo, I didn't quite understand it and thought it wasn't worth it, but now, it seems so worth it!"
"Zheng Fa, have you already planned this?"
When Master Qian heard this, he looked at his own head with awe...
Yes, he didn’t remember, or didn’t realize, this technique, but the master definitely remembered it!
The choice of the headmaster was seen as a big loss by others. Who could have thought that he could borrow back a spiritual root of heaven and earth? Zheng Fa did not say anything after hearing this, but showed an expression of wisdom.
Senior Sister Zhang glanced at him lightly and pursed her lips, as if she was trying to hold back the curled corners of her mouth.
…
On Tongming Mountain, Master Chengkong could not smile, but looked sad.
"Tell me, how should I tell Zheng Fati about this?"
Master Tongming beside him also sighed and asked, "Will the abbot really arrive in half a month?"
"Yes! The sect has already sent a message, it will take at most half a month!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"The God of Transformation came out so quickly?"
"Master Uncle... is Qin Mu's master..."
Master Tongming now understood.
Master Chengkong's meaning was very clear - the chief monk of the Supreme Dao came not only because of the sect's mission, but also because of personal grudges.
The Netherworld Immortal Qin Mu is a traitor to the Supreme Dao.
The reason why the chief came in such a hurry this time was naturally to resolve this feud.
"Your Excellency, do you want to take back the Pure Tranquility Bamboo?"
Master Chengkong nodded slightly, with the worry on his face still there: "I want to lend the Qingjing Bamboo, but the elders in the sect will definitely not allow it. If the uncle-master comes and finds that the Qingjing Bamboo is in Zheng Fa's hands..."
"At most I'll be punished."
"Zheng Facai will be in big trouble."
Master Tongming was stunned for a moment and said, "Is this abbot difficult to get along with?"
"I, the Supreme Daoist, am always willing to accept other disciples, as you know."
Master Tongming naturally understood that he was one of them.
"But now some people have other ideas. First, the spiritual energy is about to decline, and my resources are also less."
"In addition, there are quite a few disciples of my Great Dao in the Cave Heaven World. Naturally, some people will be unhappy if we accept outsiders."
Master Tongming understood a little and said, "Does this abbot disapprove of accepting disciples in the Xuanwei Realm?"
"Hmm..." Master Chengkong sighed, "He has another reason. The Netherworld Immortal Qin Mu is his disciple from the Xuanwei Realm... and his only disciple."
“…”
Master Tongming grinned: This...
He could understand the abbot's thoughts.
The problem is, the reason why Master Chengkong made an exception and lent the Qingjing Bamboo to Zheng Fa was to absorb him into the Taishang Dao.
But for this first seat:
Accepting disciples?
What kind of disciples do you want to accept?
Take back the quiet bamboo in the door!
"Zheng Fa and I promised that I would lend him this Qingjing Bamboo for at least two months..." Master Chengkong sighed, "Now it's only been half a month..."
Master Tongming was also at a loss as to what to do.
Master Chengkong wants to befriend Zheng Fa. If he goes back on his word, wouldn't that backfire?
"Actually... it's nothing." Master Tongming frowned and thought for a long time, then suddenly said, "The Qingjing Bamboo has no roots left. Zheng Fa has been holding it for half a month or two months... it doesn't seem to make much difference?"
Master Chengkong was stunned, and suddenly understood.
"That's right. He should have known these days that he might have lost out by asking for Qing Jing Zhu. He might even regret it. Tong Ming, prepare some elixirs for cultivation... I'll go talk to Zheng Fa!"
"Yes, maybe Zheng Fa is eager to ask you for a reward!"
…
Zheng Fazheng stared at the Blood River Patriarch and several disciples of the Demon Sect behind him, his expression a little complicated.
He looked at Master Qian standing beside him again.
Master Qian nodded to him.
"...You mean, your Great Freedom Demon Sect's enchantment method is also effective on trees?"
"Not all of them are effective..." Blood River Patriarch quickly replied, "Most of them are ineffective, but there are a few methods that can promote the growth of plants."
As he spoke, he cast a spell and it landed on a leaf of grass at his feet.
The grass was only an inch long, with thin leaves that looked fragile. But after a moment, it turned into a giant green python as thick as a bowl. The python was waving its claws and fangs on the ground ferociously, as if it wanted to eat people.
Zheng Fa looked for a long time and then looked at Master Qian.
"I have observed under the microscope that this spell can produce the growth hormone you mentioned, Sect Leader..."
Zheng Fa looked at the smug look on the face of the Blood River Patriarch and sighed in his heart - this Great Freedom Demon Sect is a bit too wild.
From a scientific point of view, the method of seduction, besides controlling nerves, is to control hormones.
Now it seems that the Great Freedom Demon Cult's enchantment method tends to produce hormones? It is even reasonable to be able to produce something like growth hormone...
What's unreasonable is that you guys just don't let the bird go...
"Where did this spell come from?"
"They were all created by our predecessors..."
The Blood River Patriarch was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Zheng Fa asked this question.
"I'm just curious... What did your ancestors who invented this spell want to do?"
"What...what...are you doing..."
The Blood River Patriarch was speechless.
Behind him, Lin Bufan lowered his head slightly. For the first time, he felt so ashamed because of his origins in the Demon Sect...
Zheng Fa asked Master Qian to take the Blood River Patriarch away, but left Lin Bufan alone.
"how?"
During this period, Zheng Fa let Lin Bufan stay with the Blood River Ancestor and others. One reason was that they had the same background and Lin Bufan could act as a guide.
Secondly, he was relatively confident in Lin Bufan, after all, this person's soul seal was in his hands.
"Nothing unusual, but they are not loyal to Jiushan..."
Lin Bufan said honestly.
"It's okay, as long as they don't cause trouble. They can't cause any trouble in the Nine Mountains Realm..." Zheng Fa waved his hand and didn't force it. He added, "As long as the Great Free Demon Ancestor is still here, they won't be loyal to our Nine Mountains Sect..."
Zheng Fa understood this very well: According to the Blood River Patriarch, the Great Freedom Demon Patriarch had extremely strong control over the disciples of the Great Freedom Demon Sect.
The reason why Lin Bufan has not been held accountable now is probably because the other party has not been resurrected.
But the other disciples were different. They were probably still waiting for the Demon Ancestor to rescue them.
Among this group of people, Zheng Fa trusted Lin Bufan the most, and then there was the Blood River Patriarch who might have offended the Great Free Demon Ancestor...
"I...will definitely keep an eye on them!"
Lin Bufan said while gritting his teeth.
"No, I'm not asking you to monitor them." Zheng Fa waved his hand and said, "After all, you come from the Great Freedom Demon Sect. The inheritance of my Jiushan Sect is useless to you..."
"Sir?"
Lin Bufan's eyes suddenly widened.
“Among these people, there are golden elixirs and gods like the Blood River Ancestor. You have a special status in my Nine Mountains Sect now, so they will probably try to please you…”
Lin Bufan didn't expect that Zheng Fa was planning for him...
He opened his mouth, but no words came out.
"Study hard, I have something to entrust to you in the future..." Zheng Fa said with a smile, "I won't let you sell blood for the rest of your life."
"yes!"
Zheng Fa looked at Lin Bufan, turned his head, touched his face, and slowly left.
…
Three days passed.
"Done?"
Zheng Fa didn't expect the good news to come so soon. The first step in cultivating Qingjing Bamboo - Master Qian and his team successfully achieved the dedifferentiation of plant cells in just three days.
"This thing is not difficult, I just didn't notice it before." Master Qian explained, "In fact, the fusion of the protoplasm was a little more difficult before..."
Zheng Fa nodded slowly. Technically, cell dedifferentiation is really simple...
As I said before, the difficulty lies in understanding and knowledge system! "What's more, with the help of Xuehe and the others, we only tried it five times and succeeded!"
Zheng Fa looked at the Blood River Patriarch standing aside, and could not help but nod in appreciation - every disciple of the Great Freedom Demon Sect was extraordinary and extremely useful.
That Great Free Demon Ancestor is really wasting nature's gifts!
"In that case, you and Xuehe will try it later to see if Qingjing Bamboo Cells can dedifferentiate."
Master Qian was not surprised, but the Blood River Patriarch beside him was completely confused: "What cells?"
"Quiet Bamboo."
The Blood River Patriarch fell into deep thought - why does this thing sound so familiar? He looked at the sword under his feet and remembered: Oh, I was killed by it!
Zheng Fa was also a little embarrassed, and finally realized that he was not a good person - asking the Blood River Patriarch and others to cultivate the Pure and Quiet Bamboo was probably a bit like asking a hen to warm the pot and a pig to sharpen the knife...
