Chapter 556: The Secret of the Nine Lights, Strict Selection by Senior Sister
"Jiuyaotian?" The old man was a little confused. "What is this place?"
In the laboratory, Zheng Fa frowned slightly as he looked at the hibiscus tree.
"This is a secret place in Haori Mountain."
The expressions of Old Man Bai and the others became increasingly puzzled.
"Hao Ri Mountain is the biggest enemy of the Jiushan Sect, and Jiuyaotian... is my most dangerous enemy."
Zheng Fa has always had a high opinion of Lu Yao.
Not to mention that the other party has accumulated a lot of knowledge, and in every life he can be called a strong man of the time, he also created the Dharmakaya method.
The most important thing is how he became the Mahayana Buddha of Leiyin Temple, which is enough to make people think deeply.
Even the golden-winged Roc in Beizhou may have some connection with it.
The old man became more and more confused. He scratched his curly hair and asked, "Why did the Fusang tree react so strongly to Jiuyaotian?"
Zheng Fa shook his head and looked at Fusang Mu: "You'll have to ask Fusang Mu about that."
He looked at Tang Lingwu, who nodded slightly and pointed at the waveform on the screen and said:
"Through previous experiments, we've been able to decipher some of the reactions of the hibiscus tree. There are two reactions that are the most basic and most common, and we're relatively confident in them."
"This relatively smooth and regular waveform is what we call Reaction 1. It should indicate affirmation, liking, and closeness."
"This steep, rapid curve is reaction two, representing the dramatic changes in the temperature, light intensity, magnetic field, and spiritual energy surrounding the Fusang tree. It signifies denial, fear, and disgust."
It sounds a bit broad, but since the hibiscus tree cannot clearly express its wishes, it can only rely on this vague biological instinct to make inferences.
To put it bluntly, it's a bit like a lie detector.
But what they measured was not the heartbeat of the Fusang tree, but the changes in temperature, spiritual energy, talismans and electromagnetic fields around it.
Zheng Fa thought about it, and his magic power began to operate according to the path of the "Chixiao Jade Book".
The waveform on the screen immediately began to change.
"Yes, but there are also some nos, about 60 percent to 40 percent."
Tang Lingwu interpreted.
"So, this Fusang tree has both a fondness for and aversion to the Scarlet Sky Jade Book?" The old man frowned. "What does this mean? It's contradictory."
Zheng Fa glanced at Tang Lingwu, and seeing that she couldn't express any ideas, he switched to the two techniques of Yun Zhenxian and Luo Sanxian respectively.
Both of these are one of the fundamental methods of Haori Mountain, and are also derived from the "Chixiao Jade Book". Just talking about the concepts and contents, they are at least 60% to 70% similar.
What puzzles everyone is that——
The closeness shown by Fusang wood has decreased by about 40%, which is consistent with the similarity of the exercises.
But the second reaction rarely appears. Roughly speaking, it only occurs to one-tenth of the "Chixiao Jade Book", or maybe even less.
"That's strange." The old man muttered, "This Fusang wood doesn't seem to be completely targeting the martial arts, but it's still a bit contradictory and confusing."
Teacher Tian also frowned: "You mean, this hibiscus tree is instinctively cut apart?"
"I hate to say this, but it looks like it to me."
The laboratory suddenly fell silent.
If so, there will be big trouble - Zheng Fa wants to use the biological instincts of the Fusang tree to explore the secrets of this spiritual root, but if even the biological instincts of this thing are chaotic and disordered, then the information that can be obtained will be too little, and it will naturally be impossible to establish a bond with the Fusang tree.
Zheng Fa thought for a moment and said to Tang Lingwu, "Show me the previous experimental records."
Tang Lingwu tapped twice on the tablet, and dense patterns and text analysis appeared on the large screen in the laboratory.
The old man and the others looked at each other without saying a word, with curiosity on their faces. It was obvious that Zheng Fa seemed to have thought of something and was looking for clues in the experimental data.
After a long while, Zheng Fa seemed to have confirmed something and said:
"Lu Yao."
From the hibiscus tree, golden flames burst out, whipping the surrounding air like willow branches.
"Obviously, reaction number two! Extremely negative!"
Tang Lingwu was both surprised and puzzled.
On the contrary, Zheng Fa's expression became more confident. His figure slowly began to change, turning into a middle-aged man with a dignified look.
Fuso's reaction was even more unexpected to everyone.
The sparks around it condensed into a ferocious and sturdy golden fire python, which roared and pounced towards Zheng Fa.
In the laboratory, crackling sounds were heard everywhere, and various sensors exploded amidst flashes of lightning.
This doesn't require any sensors, it can be seen with the naked eye that Fusomu has pure hatred for the middle-aged man transformed by Zheng Fa, and they are mortal enemies.
The old man looked at Zheng Fa and asked curiously, "Is this Lu Yao?"
"Exactly. He is also the biggest enemy of my Jiushan Sect."
"I think this Fusangmu hates this person more than you do. What made you think of this?"
"When I mentioned the word Lu before, the Fusang tree reacted, and the Scarlet Sky Jade Book is Lu Yao's cultivation method." Zheng Fa explained, "Teacher Bai may not know that at the Dao Fruit stage, the cultivator is the cultivation method, and the cultivation method is the cultivator."
"So you think that this Fusang tree hates Lu Yao?"
"Yes, and I just transformed into Lu Yao's appearance." Zheng Fa shook his head, "But the technique I used was not actually from the Scarlet Sky Jade Book."
There is only one explanation for this happening.
The "Chixiao Jade Book" has a close relationship with the Fusang tree, at least in part, which makes the Fusang tree feel close to it.
However, because this technique was Lu Yao's fundamental technique, and it disgusted the Fusang tree, it caused the spiritual root to appear confused.
In fact, it is because Fusangmu has a contradictory attitude towards the "Chixiao Jade Book".
As for the other two skills, Fuso Mu would be more inclined to support them because they were not so closely related to Lu Yao.
"So, Fusangmu and Lu Yao have a deep hatred." The old man suddenly realized, "What about Jiuyaotian?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Lingwu glanced at the previous experimental records and was also puzzled: "When Zheng Fa mentioned Jiuyaotian before, the reaction of this Fusang tree..."
"It's affirmative, pure affirmative!"
She paused, as if she felt that the word "certainty" was not enough to describe Fusang Mu's intense reaction, and then said, "You could even say it's desire."
Thinking of Fusomu's desire to fly out of the preaching hall, Zheng Fa also felt that the word "desire" was used very well.
"But didn't Zheng Fa just say that Jiuyaotian is related to his archenemy? This enemy should be Lu Yao?"
Zheng Fa nodded slightly.
"Isn't this contradictory again?"
"I have an idea." Zheng Fa said, "There is something in Jiuyaotian that Fusangmu desires so much that he even forgets his hatred for Lu Yao..."
Looking at the still irritable Fusang Wood with fire snakes raging all over it, the old man thought for a long time before speaking: "If that's the case, judging by the hatred, that thing must be very important to Fusang Wood."
Zheng Fa nodded slowly, and the laboratory fell silent again.
"Is it also important for you to fuse the Fusang wood?"
Seeing the worry on Tang Lingwu's face, Zheng Fa shook his head: "I can't say for sure, but it's very likely."
Tang Lingwu looked up at Zheng Fa, pursed her lips and said nothing, but her face was no longer as bright as before.
…
"Is there something in Jiuyaotian that Fusangmu wants?"
The Nine Mountains Realm Heavenly Palace, along with the Jade Dragon Lord and others, all looked at each other in surprise.
"There's some certainty."
"This matter is of no small importance." Uncle Pang said immediately, "Fusangmu and Lu Yao are unclear about the situation. Who knows if this is a trap?"
Zheng Fa turned his gaze towards Senior Sister Zhang.
Senior Sister Zhang took out the Feixian Pen, drew the innate Bagua in the air, and began to deduce.
After a long while, she finally put away the Xiantian Bagua: "I can't deduce the relationship between Jiuyaotian and Fusangmu. Fusangmu and Jiuyaotian seem to have great secrets that I can't peek into."
Uncle Pang looked a little disappointed.
"But... Jiuyaotian should be beneficial to Junior Brother, a great benefit."
Senior Sister Zhang’s words cheered everyone up.
She didn't know much about Fusangmu and Jiuyaotian, but she knew Zheng Fa inside and out, and the difference in their strength was not that big, so when she made deductions based on Zheng Fa's situation, the accuracy rate would be higher.
"How sure are you?"
"More than 60%."
"It's not safe." Uncle Pang shook his head. "The last time Zheng Fa went to Haori Mountain, he just wanted to infiltrate the Tianhe Sect, but Jiuyaotian... who knows what's inside."
Zheng Fa was also considering the risks involved. The Jade Dragon Lord asked in confusion, "Why isn't it safe? Don't we have the ability to resurrect?"
When she said this, she had a look of emotion on her face: "Now even if I die, I may not be able to come back to life. The master's one breath into three pure ones..."
"Master isn't afraid of me dying, but...he's afraid of me being trapped in the Nine Lights Heaven. That would be a real problem."
Zheng Fa's words made Lord Shuyu Dragon stunned for a moment, and he nodded slightly.
"On the other hand, I went to Jiuyaotian seemingly to seek opportunities, but perhaps Lu Yao deliberately attracted me and wanted the Fusang wood."
The Jade Dragon Lord suddenly realized, "This is more likely! If so, then we're aiding the enemy!"
Despite this, she still said:
"If we don't go, what will we do with the Fusang wood?"
Uncle Pang still disagreed: "Even if we go, there's no guarantee we'll be able to deal with the Fusang wood."
"It's better than now."
Although the two men were arguing with each other, both of them had their reasons. The other people in the hall also had a dilemma on their faces.
Zheng Fa thought about it and whispered a few words.
After a while, a short figure came from outside the hall, with a blue phoenix behind it.
"Master Han, what's happening to Senior Sister Yuan..."
"I came to see the excitement."
Qingluan squatted on the beam with confidence.
Zheng Fa didn't chase her away. Senior Sister Yuan looked a little silly, but she was actually reliable and kept her mouth shut. He looked at Old Han and asked, "What's the current situation at Haori Mountain? Are the disciples hiding in Haori Mountain going smoothly?"
Because of his special abilities and experience, Mr. Han is now the head of the Espionage Department.
Although the Spy Department does not have many people, it has great external authority. Even Senior Sister Zhang does not usually care about it. She just allocates spirit stones and almost does not impose any budget restrictions.
Knowing that the disciples of the Spy Department were in danger, Zheng Fa was unwilling to micromanage and usually did not interfere much, only looking at the intelligence summarized by the Spy Department.
Therefore, he really didn't know much about the recent situation in Haori Mountain - this showed that the Espionage Department had not yet reached a clear conclusion.
Sure enough, when he heard Zheng Fa asking about the situation at Haori Mountain, Old Han sighed slightly and shook his head, saying, "Haori Mountain doesn't look unusual. Aside from the absence of the ancestor, which is a bit chaotic, nothing seems to have changed."
"Nothing unusual?"
"No."
"It's our disciples who failed to find out the news?"
"Our disciples have indeed not yet infiltrated the core disciples of Haori Mountain, but when it comes to gathering information, it's going very smoothly."
Speaking of this, there was a hint of pride in Mr. Han's expression.
"Smoothly? How smooth?"
"For this, I have to thank Master Yuan." Old Han smiled and pointed at Qingluan on the beam.
Senior Sister Yuan tilted her slender neck toward the roof in an exaggerated arc, looking like a triumphant little bird.
"Thank her?"
"Recently, Master Yuan has been helping me train my spy department, and the results are remarkable, with students all over the world."
Zheng Fa remained silent, looking back and forth at Yuan Xiaoniao. He felt that the future of the Spy Department was bleak.
Isn't it ruined to let Senior Sister Yuan go to train in such a place that relies heavily on brains?
What can she train?
…
"Pancakes! Get in line, don't worry, we have them all!"
In the Sancheng Market in Haori Mountain, a man and a woman, two plain-looking casual cultivators, stood in front of a stall.
The stall was crowded with people from all three tribes. A young man who seemed to be a regular customer said in dissatisfaction, "I'm telling you guys, you're setting up your stall later and later every day. How can you do business like this?"
There were not many customers in front of the other stalls in the market. It can be said that this stall was the most lively in the entire market and attracted a lot of attention.
The male vendor couldn't help but reveal an indescribable expression on his face after hearing this, but he held back and said, "It's mainly to prepare the ingredients. All the immortals from Haori Mountain are here to show their support, so I have to prepare more."
"Your pancakes are delicious, too. Not only are they tasty, but they can also help with cultivation!" Having said this, the man's gaze shifted between the two of them, a look of admiration on his face. "I wonder where you got the secret recipe from."
Where did it come from?
Taught by Master Yuan!
The male vendor poured the batter onto a round iron plate, pushed it into a pancake shape with a wooden spatula, and then picked up various seasonings and sprinkled them in.
He moved with skill, but he began to feel confused in his heart - how could I, a Jiushan spy, become the bully of Haorifang City?
The pancakes were taught by Master Yuan. According to Master Yuan herself, she had tasted most of the ingredients from the Nine Mountains Realm, the Hundred Immortals Alliance, and even the Xuanwei Realm, and carefully developed them with several new seasonings developed by the Agricultural College.
It can be said that although the cost is not high, the selection of materials is the most strict and perfect, and it also has some medicinal functions - it is very beneficial to monks.
At first, they didn't believe it either.
Once they came to Haori Mountain, they had to believe it.
When they entered the spy department, they all swore an oath to risk their lives for the Jiushan Sect.
Now it has finally come true. I am busy like a beast, almost dying.
In the distance, a middle-aged man walked slowly towards them. The male vendor paused, quickly put down the pancake in his hand, and bowed to him, saying, "Master Lu Yan!"
"Business is good?"
"I pray for the immortal's blessing."
Lu Yan glanced at the vendors around him, and they all suppressed the jealousy in their eyes and bent down to smile apologetically.
The male vendor took out a paper bag from his pocket and handed it to Lu Yan attentively, saying:
"Sir, I made this specially for you. It's still hot, and I'm giving it to the young master as a snack."
Lu Yan stretched out his hand, took the paper bag, shook it, and squeezed it. The inside was hard, not like a cake, but it looked like a spirit stone.
He nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "My wicked son is just greedy and wants to eat every day."
