Chapter 362 Who preaches, interaction
At the foot of Hongshan Mountain, trucks were honking their horns. In the traffic, a middle-aged driver couldn't stand the boredom anymore, so he opened his car door, walked out of the cockpit and looked forward - there were at least a hundred cars stuck in traffic ahead, and the traffic stretched from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside.
He looked back again, and saw cars coming one after another with the smell of gasoline and smoke, like they were playing Snake, following the butt of the car in front one by one.
He shook his head, walked to the side of a car behind, and shouted, "Brother, do you have a fire?"
A fat man jumped out of the car behind. He was quite enthusiastic and even offered him a cigarette.
The two of them were smoking, and had nothing else to do, so they looked at the bustling Hongshan and chatted: "How many times have you been here?"
"I made ten trips in three days. This job is urgent!"
"It's urgent. They say more than a dozen construction sites are starting work at the same time. There are so many things needed, people are parking all the time, and they won't let people in. I don't know what they are going to build."
"Why do you care about him? Giving him money is not enough..."
The fat man lowered his voice and whispered, "You are not a local, right?"
"no……"
"Then you haven't heard of it. There have been many rumors about Hongshan in recent years."
"What's the rumor?"
"There's a goblin in Hongshan!"
“…”
"Don't disbelieve me. Someone has seen a female fairy who was so beautiful that she looked like a human flying in the mountains when there was no one around, especially at night!" the fat man swore.
The middle-aged man took a long puff of the cigarette... This cigarette is good. Although this guy is a little crazy, he is quite generous.
…
Tang Yaojing sat on a stool beside the dining table obediently, with her legs crossed, looking at Zheng Fa, her big eyes blinking on her little face.
Old Man Bai and others surrounded her, talking to each other.
The new batch of people are no longer in the nursing home - this time Hongshan’s expansion is not just about recruiting people, but also about setting up laboratories, research institutions, and even opening up new spiritual fields.
These people either go down the mountain to arrange their families and previous jobs.
Or go to the construction site to guide the construction.
The noise from the outside world could not be heard in the nursing home, and the people in the nursing home had no time to care about anything else because Tang Lingwu was preparing to build her foundation.
It has been more than three years, almost four years, since she started practicing, which is relatively slow considering her single spiritual root qualification.
The problem is not with her, but with the environment:
A major reason for this was that Zheng Fa’s cultivation was limited in his early years and the spiritual energy of Hongshan was insufficient.
On the other hand, it was also due to the lack of various spiritual materials, especially elixirs. For example, Tang Lingwu did not have the Ningyuan Pill and could not practice the "Talisman Foundation Building Method".
From this perspective, Tang Lingwu's speed is extremely fast - not only is she talented, but her character is also first-class. Her wealthy background and simple personality make her extremely focused and her brain is sharp. In the Xuanwei Realm, she can be considered an extremely outstanding genius.
In comparison, Old Man Bai has barely reached the seventh level of Qi training, and Teacher Tian and the other teacher's cultivation is even more shallow.
Zheng Fa was a little worried:
Putting herself aside, Tang Lingwu is the first person born and raised in modern times to build a foundation. She can be said to be a pioneer in the immortal way of this world.
Even though he felt there was ninety-nine percent nothing would go wrong.
But he always thinks about the one percent chance of success.
Old Man Bai and Teacher Tian also crowded aside, looking at Tang Lingwu with concern on their faces.
After spending these years together, his feelings towards Zheng Fa and the others may be complicated, but towards Tang Lingwu, he treats her like his own child, so his worry is naturally even greater.
"How about some more preparations?"
The old man muttered in a low voice.
"I've prepared it." Tang Lingwu shook her head and said with a smile, "I also feel that it's time."
Zheng Fa nodded. According to the experience of the cultivators in the Xuanwei Realm, building the foundation should not be too hasty, but it also cannot be too slow. If it is too slow, it is easy to lose courage.
Going with your gut is sometimes the best option.
Seeing Zheng Fa nod, the old man Bai and the others said nothing more. The old man Bai just touched his chest and sighed, "My mood is exactly the same as when my daughter took the college entrance examination."
This is... quite apt.
In other words, the success of building a foundation can determine a person's life more than the college entrance examination... Especially for someone like Tang Lingwu who doesn't need to take the college entrance examination...
There might be another reason why Old Man Bai and the other man were nervous: Tang Lingwu's success or failure was related to their own future practice.
Since it concerns themselves, they are naturally more worried about the gains and losses.
Tang Lingwu smiled with her teeth bared, looking more relaxed than them, but her eyes were still on Zheng Fa.
The old man wanted to say something, but Teacher Tian beside him tugged at his sleeve.
"Why are you pulling me?"
"I have something to talk to you about!"
"What can't be said here?"
“…”
Teacher Tian stopped talking and dragged the old man out.
Tang Mudao was smart enough and followed the two of them out of the restaurant.
Tang Lingwu and Zheng Fa were the only ones left in the room.
"I'm a little scared..."
Tang Lingwu, who had just laughed heartlessly, suddenly spoke weakly.
Zheng Fa didn't say anything, but just reached out and touched Tang Lingwu's head.
"I have memorized the technique very well," Tang Lingwu narrowed her eyes and kept talking, "I also remember what you taught me..."
Zheng Fa was worried and of course would not let Tang Lingwu figure it out on her own. He brought over all the records of the sect's practice of corresponding techniques and foundation-building, and took them apart bit by bit, analyzing them for Tang Lingwu, and even deduced possible problems that might occur.
To put it simply, I have taken several rounds of mock exams.
"I'm actually a little scared. If I fail, will those newcomers doubt me?"
Zheng Fa shook his head, thinking that Tang Lingwu was still a little girl with overthinking mind - whether she had doubts or not, he didn't care, and he didn't beg those people.
"Don't think too much, just build your foundation well."
Looking at Tang Lingwu with a slightly frown on her brows, Zheng Fa spoke to comfort her.
Tang Lingwu nodded slowly and stopped talking.
The room fell silent.
"Before, Professor Bai said that the mood was the same as sending someone off for an exam..."
Tang Lingwu suddenly spoke again.
"Um?"
"I sent you to take the exam, but I didn't pass the college entrance examination." Tang Lingwu pouted, "What a loss."
Zheng Fa suddenly remembered the cheongsam that Tang Lingwu wore.
Did she still want me to comfort her? Or encourage her? How? Wear a cheongsam? Was that too much?
A warm fragrance wafted towards him. Turning around, Zheng Fa saw Tang Lingwu standing in front of him with her arms outstretched and her face raised.
Seeing him turn around, Tang Lingwu said seriously:
“Encourage!”
Zheng Fa stood up and gently held Tang Lingwu in his arms.
After a long time, the two separated.
Tang Lingwu shook her head, a sly smile appeared on her face, and she looked very proud:
"It's a lie."
"Um?"
"Actually, I'm not afraid~"
Zheng Fa was speechless. Was he trying to trick me into hugging him?
What if you can cheat a little harder? This girl is not good at cheating, but she has learned the art of seduction without any teacher...
…
A few days later, Cheng Yun brought Professor Wang and others back to the nursing home. From then on, the main building of the nursing home became the dormitory for these people.
Along the way, Cheng Yun was still bragging: "I'm very familiar with this nursing home! Boss, I'll protect you from now on!"
Professor Wang's face turned black when he saw how arrogant he was.
The backyard is still the private land of Zheng Fa and his friends.
These days, Zheng Fa and his friends have been in the backyard, guarding Tang Lingwu's door in case anything unexpected really happened.
"Why is it so quiet?"
Noticing that there was no sound in the nursing home, Professor Wang couldn't help but ask Cheng Yun in a low voice.
"I heard that Chairman Tang is going to build his foundation, and Dean Zheng hasn't gone out in the past two days."
“No one dared to speak.”
Professor Wang nodded slightly and looked towards the backyard, feeling a sense of inexplicable anticipation in his heart.
In the backyard, Zheng Fa sat cross-legged in front of Tang Lingwu's door, meditating with his eyes closed.
The old man Bai and his two companions were also there, looking into the room from time to time, but they didn't dare to speak.
Zheng Fa suddenly opened his eyes, without saying a word, he just laughed.
Done!
Old Man Bai and others were ecstatic.
"Look outside!"
Outside, the small building on the East Mountain Cliff was shrouded in a layer of five-colored light, and the spiritual energy turned into a breeze, gently caressing the plants in the courtyard.
The old trees sprouted green buds, birds chirped in the woods, and even the fish at the bottom of the pond were thrashing about.
Professor Wang was watching this scene from the main building. Even though he had been mentally prepared, he was still stunned at this moment.
Everyone was stunned, and then they saw a graceful figure stepping out of nowhere from the small building.
The colorful small building was behind her, and the breeze blew her dress. Under the pressure of spiritual energy, Professor Wang and others felt some pressure in their hearts, and they even looked up to this young girl.
Tang Lingwu glanced at them briefly, with a dazed and indifferent look in her eyes.
But at this moment, no one will feel offended.
They inexplicably had a feeling that this indifference from the other party could destroy them with just a wave of the hand.
It can be said that this is a difference in the level of life.
But the next moment, Tang Lingwu fell to the ground, but lowered her head humbly towards a figure walking out of the small building, as if she was going to pay her respects.
Zheng Fa frowned slightly, raised his hand, and helped Tang Lingwu up from a distance, with an expression that showed a little confusion.
“The grace of preaching the gospel must be thanked.”
Zheng Fa looked at the sharp eyes in the main building behind her.
I knew in my heart that most of this sentence was directed at them.
Zheng Fa shook his head and patted her head: "Be careful and think too much!"
Tang Lingwu did have a lot of little ideas, but they were all very useful: she deliberately put up a live advertisement.
The next evening, Zheng Fa felt the enthusiasm of these new scholars.
It’s not that they didn’t have much enthusiasm before, but people who work in science believe that seeing is believing a little more. Zheng Fa’s simple golden elixir has other uses, and he is not the kind of person who would rush to show it to them, so they haven’t seen it yet.
Seeing Tang Lingwu building her foundation was a great encouragement to them.
The largest conference room in the main building of the nursing home is now arranged like an auditorium.
In the auditorium, Zheng Fa was giving these scholars an introductory class on the way to immortality - since he had recruited these people, it was natural for him to teach them how to cultivate immortality.
Zheng Fa sat on a cushion and started to explain the rune system bit by bit.
Tang Lingwu sat in the first row with Old Man Bai and the others.
The rest of the people sat behind them.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Cheng Yun sat next to Professor Wang. At first, he was still looking at the big names nearby: many of them had white hair.
Some of them he had read in textbooks when he was in college.
There are even a few people who can change the resource allocation of a discipline and the research direction of a country with just one sentence.
When I saw them before, they were always standing on the podium instead of standing in the audience.
But at this moment, all of these people were holding notebooks or electronic devices, listening carefully to the lecture of the young Zheng Fa.
It's like the opposite of the past.
Seeing that he was distracted, Professor Wang suddenly nudged him with his elbow.
"boss?"
"Why are you in a daze? Remember it well!" Professor Wang whispered.
“…”
“Seize the opportunity!”
Cheng Yun was stunned and looked forward. Three seats in front of him, an old man who had often appeared in the news was scratching his head and looking at Zheng Fa seriously and with curiosity, as if he didn't want to miss a single word.
This is because some scholars are old and have just started practicing, and have not even started learning martial arts, so their bodies cannot take it.
So Zheng Fa only preached for about two hours a night.
The next morning, when Cheng Yun opened the door, he saw Professor Wang from next door rubbing his eyes and walking out, as if he was preparing to have breakfast.
"Professor? Are you awake too?"
"Awake?" Professor Wang looked at him with a puzzled look, "Who's asleep?"
“…”
Cheng Yun just felt his liver tremble.
"You didn't sleep!" He asked with his eyes wide open. "What did you do at night?"
"I practiced martial arts and reviewed what Dean Zheng had said. When I got tired, I looked up some Taoist classics and materials science textbooks on the Internet to refresh my mind..."
Professor Wang said casually as he walked.
"…Should I do it this way…"
"Let me ask you, why didn't Dean Zheng look for anyone else but only for us?"
"…In order to study as quickly as possible?"
"So..." Professor Wang patted the student on the shoulder and said with a smile, "How can we not hurry up?"
Cheng Yun stopped talking.
"I told you before how I stayed up late in the lab when I was young, but you didn't believe me..."
“…”
Professor Wang pointed at the listless scholars in the restaurant, turned to look at Cheng Yun, and asked with a smile, "Volume?"
"I can be one of the first people to learn how to cultivate immortality."
"If you can read a little and do some research, you can become disease-free and even immortal..." Professor Wang chuckled, "This opportunity is too rare and too suitable for us."
Cheng Yun looked at the group of people with red eyes and was speechless for a long time.
"Who among the people here didn't grow up in the mountains of books and the sea of questions in the laboratory?" Professor Wang chuckled again and asked, "Otherwise, why do you think Zheng Fa values people like us who can't lift anything with our hands or shoulders?"
"Spend a little more time, what's that?"
Cheng Yun nodded blankly. As an old man in the nursing home, his confidence suddenly decreased and he felt a sense of urgency instead.
He looked at Professor Wang and felt that after all these years, he was being taught a lesson by his teacher again.
…
Zheng Falian taught the basic knowledge for a week and then held a seminar in the auditorium.
The topic discussed at the seminar was naturally how to improve the "Tianhe Sword Art" or the "Nine-Turn Golden Elixir Method".
Zheng Faxian distributed the collected information and experimental data to everyone in the audience.
This time, the nursing home expanded its enrollment, recruiting about a hundred new people from a variety of disciplines.
Physics, chemistry, materials science, biology, even agronomy and mathematics are all subjects that are related to cultivating immortals.
These people also participated in the seminar this time.
But what Zheng Fa cares about most are actually scholars with a background in physics or chemical materials.
After all, they seem to have more to do with this project.
While the audience was flipping through the materials, Zheng Fa was explaining the principles or progress of the "Golden Elixir Project". When he finished, the audience had roughly understood the current problem and began to whisper.
After these people finished their discussion, Zheng Facai said, "You can discuss in groups or come up with ideas independently. I hope that everyone can study this issue from various angles."
This is also helpless.
Today, the research on "Tianhe Sword Art" has almost reached a bottleneck, and Zheng Fa and others don't even know where the problem lies.
In holding this seminar, he actually wanted to explore various possible ideas with the help of the thinking of these scholars from different disciplines.
This is also the reason why Zheng Fa invited scholars in biology and mathematics.
“During the seminar, everyone can submit papers and review each other’s papers.”
"Your contribution to this project can be counted towards the nursing home's points, which can be exchanged for spiritual materials and techniques in the future."
After Zheng Fa finished speaking, the discussion in the audience became a little more heated.
In order to allow these scholars to perfect their ideas, Zheng Fa scheduled the seminar to last for half a month.
But on the next day, a nuclear engineering scholar put forward his own hypothesis - the fusion reaction hypothesis.
"From this experimental data, it seems that the experimenter has been obsessed with the third step, which is how to combine the spiritual energy sub-symbol with the particles. But in fact, the normal process of condensing the golden elixir is divided into three steps. Therefore, I think that the second sub-symbol may be combined with the first sub-symbol during fusion or even fission."
Zheng Fa, who was listening in the audience, also felt that there was some truth in it.
But subsequent discussions gave him more inspiration: Some people thought that there was a problem with the structure of the alchemy furnace. For example, the alchemy furnace of the Shenxiao Golden Pill was suitable for the Shenxiao Golden Pill, but to produce the second Five Elements sub-talisman, it would naturally be different.
From a chemical perspective, certain catalysts and even experimental environments may be required.
From the perspective of physics, some people have raised the question of whether there is not enough energy...
In half a month, these people submitted about eighty papers, among which there were fifteen or sixteen main hypotheses.
From Zheng Fa's perspective, seven or eight of these possibilities are very likely.
"From a fundamental analysis, if we look at the formation of the second sub-talisman from the perspective of a chemical reaction..."
“There are three things that could go wrong:”
Tang Lingwu summarized: "First, the raw materials, second, the environment, and third, the craftsmanship."
Zheng Fa nodded.
The raw materials are the most troublesome. For example, the "Talisman Foundation Building Method" requires Ningyuan Dan. If the Tianhe Sword Dao is the same, then if they don't understand the original method of Tianhe Reverend, they will most likely not be able to learn this thing - especially if there is something like a catalyst, then it's basically over.
The environment is easier to explain. The environment of the Golden Elixir Project is nothing more than the structure of the cauldron, the concentration of spiritual energy, temperature and pressure.
This is still a traceable thing.
As for craftsmanship, that is what Zheng Fa and his colleagues are best at.
The Golden Elixir Project has broken down the process of forming an elixir into an assembly line, and its understanding of the techniques of forming an elixir is almost unparalleled.
For them, this aspect of the problem is relatively simple.
At this time, Professor Wang, who was beside Cheng Yun, came hurriedly with Cheng Yun and handed him a newly published paper. Zheng Fa looked up at the two of them and asked, "Interaction?"
"Yes, we are thinking that if we regard the spiritual energy symbol as a particle, or a substance, then there must be an attraction between them. From the fundamental perspective of physics, isn't this an interaction?"
"Electrons interact with each other through the transmission of photons. So how do spiritual energies transmit each other?"
Zheng Fa suddenly realized: "Soul!"
This was very obvious when I first started learning the spell - the mutual attraction between the spiritual runes was limited to the range of the soul, that is, only within the range of the same soul would the runes be attracted to each other! On the other hand, when Zheng Fa was refining the spell base in his body, his spiritual energy already had his own soul...
But Zheng Fa had always thought that it was the effect of the Ningyuan Pill. Now that he thought about it, if the Ningyuan Pill was so useful, why did everyone's five element rings differ? If he used the effect of the soul to explain it, everything would make sense.
"So, the spirit soul..." Tang Mudao frowned, "is the medium for the spiritual energy to work?"
Zheng Fa was startled, and suddenly realized that this theory actually pointed to the root of magic! In other words, this thing explained one thing: why do monks need to cultivate their souls! Why can only monks cast spells! More fundamentally speaking, it solved a problem for Zheng Fa: where is the position of people in magic.
"It's hard to say. It needs to be verified." Zheng Fa shook his head. Now this theory itself can explain some problems, but it is still only a hypothesis.
Some phenomena need to be verified later.
He glanced at Professor Wang, and was impressed. He stood up and said to Professor Wang, "Anyway, this theory is very insightful... Professor Wang, thank you for your hard work!"
"Cheng Yun, you are familiar with the nursing home. If Professor Wang has any problems, you can solve them. If you can't solve them, just tell me directly."
Seeing him so polite, Professor Wang blinked and smiled at Cheng Yun complacently. The meaning in his eyes was self-evident -
Who is protecting whom? Even if your teacher turns to ashes, he is still your teacher!
…
In the Nine Mountains Realm, Zheng Fa gently opened his eyes and took out the Jade Book of Creation.
In the Jade Book of Creation, there are more than 80 papers from the seminar, the most important of which is Professor Wang’s paper on the interaction of spiritual energy.
However, we cannot take a preconceived position on this matter. On the contrary, there is more than one reason for the failure of the experiment. Zheng Fa has not even figured out whether it is due to a problem with the soul.
He thought about it and sent these more than 80 papers to Mrs. Xuanhua and others in a private message on the forum.
…
On the experimental island, Yan Wushuang watched Madam Xuanhua copying out the papers one by one, his face dull.
"This... is all Zheng Fa's idea?"
"You'll get used to it."
"He thought of this alone?"
"What else?" Mrs. Xuanhua smiled, "I just gave him the data yesterday."
Yan Wushuang read the two papers that had just been printed and covered his head with his hands.
Just looking at this thing made his head hurt.
What's Zheng Fa's brain? (End of this chapter)
