Zheng Ya returned to the Zhengde Hall of the Viscount's Mansion and summoned the chief eunuch to inquire about the collection of medicinal seed. He was told that it was not easy to find medicinal seed in the winter, which was just a perfunctory answer.
I collected 38 kinds of common medicinal herb seeds a few days ago.
I didn't see any seeds of precious medicinal herbs, which must be controlled by certain forces and listed as prohibited items, not for sale.
Or perhaps it was intentional on the part of the two emperors, who did not want to waste resources on him.
Zheng Ya didn't care. He waved away the chief eunuch and the palace maids, then returned to the master bedroom alone. He sat on the hard Zen wood bed, controlled the antelope in his supernatural world with his will, and cooked a medicinal meal with herbs and side dishes. The meal was ready in an instant, and he took it out to enjoy alone.
The daily living standards of the Dali Dynasty were far below Zheng Ya's needs.
At first, Zheng Ya found it difficult to refuse the eunuchs and palace maids sent by two emperors to serve him. He didn't mind keeping them around to manage the mansion and act as spies.
However, when they cooked unpalatable dishes and had to serve Zheng Ya his bath, they angered him. Using the excuse that he was a Taoist who did not associate with women and that he could not get used to the palace food, he sent away the eunuchs and maids and lived alone.
If someone else were to take care of themselves, they would probably go crazy.
After all, the daily necessities were purchased by eunuchs and palace maids, but they passed through many people outside and were poisoned eight times. If it weren't for Zheng Ya's quick thinking, she would have been poisoned and at the mercy of others long ago.
Living in the Viscount's mansion, Zheng Ya dared not drink water indiscriminately.
Even though she was poisoned eight times, and Zheng Ya occasionally arranged for eunuchs and palace maids to bring her food and drink, she managed to take care of herself by keeping it a secret from outsiders.
After a few days, Zheng Ya had gotten used to taking care of herself and secretly eating.
After all, when the emperor and empress bestow food upon someone, one must outwardly show respect to them. If one doesn't pretend to eat a few bites, they will inevitably speculate that the Qian Yuan Immortal Sect is plotting to seize the Zheng family's imperial power.
Left with no other choice, Zheng Ya had to play along with everyone and go all the way.
It must be said that Zheng Ya discerned a key point from this: the medicinal ingredients, as well as the plants and animals in this world that have been nourished by spiritual energy, are incomparable to the plants and animals on Earth and Blue Star.
Even if Zheng Ya cultivates ordinary medicinal ingredients with spiritual energy to a quality exceeding a thousand years, it still cannot reach the quality of medicinal ingredients in this world that have been nourished by spiritual energy.
The reason lies in the word "origin".
The spiritual energy and the origin of medicinal ingredients are of a quality that Zheng Ya cannot achieve by consuming spiritual energy to cultivate ordinary medicinal ingredients; at best, their medicinal energy is comparable.
However, it cannot be denied that the origin of all things is the fundamental principle.
Just like a person lacking consciousness, which is equivalent to a vegetative state, all bodily functions are the same, except that a vegetative state person lacks consciousness and cannot exhibit bodily functions.
The preparation of medicine and the refining of elixirs are equivalent to the union of men and women to have a child.
A person in a vegetative state loses the ability to reproduce, which means they lose the ability to reproduce and thus lose their fundamental human potential.
Therefore, after learning these inside stories, Zheng Ya viewed the seeds in the storage room of the Sihelou as disgusting things left behind by a mysterious person, tasteless to eat, a pity to throw away, and an eyesore.
However, Zheng Ya cultivated them to be food, and the mysterious man chewed and swallowed them bite by bite to relieve his anger, satisfy his hunger, and fill his stomach.
Enjoying the delicious food alone, he would think of his wife and children one moment, and then wonder if Wu Wei was secretly plotting something because the eunuchs and palace maids couldn't collect the medicinal ingredients and seeds the next.
Eating well, sleeping, meditating, and practicing spiritual cultivation—that doesn't exist.
Psionic energy is the in-game currency Zheng Ya uses for cultivation. Over the past few days, he has accumulated more than 370,000 psionic energy, which he keeps for future use.
After all, Zheng Ya knew that each level of the second-tier ability required 100,000 units of spiritual energy to advance. With three different abilities, it would take 3.6 million units of spiritual energy to reach the peak of the 12th level of the second-tier ability.
It seems like the psionic energy consumption isn't high, and with a little effort, you can earn enough.
However, Zheng Ya knew in his heart that with enemies all around, if he didn't keep some spiritual energy to convert into supernatural abilities to sustain his life, he could be played to death at any time.
After all, this world is all about power and military might; even the strongest can be worn down by attrition.
Lying in bed eating fruit and lost in thought, Zheng Ya fell asleep without realizing it. Before going to sleep, he only ordered the sea anemones and the Sihelou psionic system in his supernatural world to be on alert, and then slept peacefully by himself.
The Sihelou psionic system provides all-around, comprehensive surveillance, covering a radius of over 400 meters. The sea anemones, as special forms of intelligence, assist the psionic system in monitoring external movements, acting as bodyguards.
The cannons roared at dawn, drums thundered, and the marching troops rattled, waking Zheng Ya instantly. What was going on?
Haikui reported that marching troops were arriving one after another on the streets.
Wu Wei has gone to war, causing a disturbance to the people!
Zheng Ya had just sat up, filled with hatred for Wu Wei, when she received a call from Wu Wei: "Zheng Ya, this princess has gone to war. Hand over a batch of gene potions now..."
"Hey girl, who are you? You still have a cell phone in your hand? Are you using it to disturb the peace?" Zheng Ya answered the phone irritably and retorted.
Wu Wei said arrogantly, "When this princess went to war, all the powerful and noble people in the capital, including two emperors, came to see me off. You, a mere viscount, should come immediately..."
"Hurry up the pigs, herd the ducks, chase away the bedbugs, chase you away..." Zheng Ya retorted irritably, making Wu Wei's teeth ache with anger: "Zheng Ya, you won't give up until you're completely defeated!"
"Do you really want to wait until you've suffered a bloody head injury before asking this princess for the secrets to cultivate supernatural abilities?"
"Tch, how will you know if you don't try?" Zheng Ya said ambiguously, his heart full of disdain. The cultivation method had already been established.
The only missing elements are crystals and array resources, which are needed to set up an array within the body and activate the unique cultivation technique for one's own special abilities.
The development of the Puppet Pill and the understanding of its ability to control people prompted Zheng Ya to comprehend the framework of the supernatural power cultivation technique. However, due to a lack of resources, he could not experiment on people and thus developed the supernatural power cultivation technique.
After all, Zheng Ya used the formations of cultivators as the foundation of his supernatural cultivation techniques, which meant he had to solve three major difficulties.
The first difficulty lies in the fact that the energy and magical artifacts within the array's core cannot be replaced by simply storing them in acupoints using supernatural abilities.
After all, acupoints are too fragile, and it is very difficult to develop them into a dantian to store supernatural abilities.
If one were to refine magical artifacts and implant them into acupoints to store supernatural abilities, it would be theoretically feasible and worth trying.
The second challenge is whether the magic weapon is properly inserted into the acupoints.
Without a magical artifact to replace the five elements arrangement in the human body, it is impossible to develop the balance of the five elements in the human body.
How can this contradiction be resolved?
The third challenge is whether to collect spiritual plants with the five elements attributes to replace magic treasures, place them on the five elements acupoints in the human body, and form an array to create a supernatural cultivation technique.
Theoretically, it's entirely feasible, but where would we collect the spirit plants?
Zheng Ya is currently in dire need of resources to conduct experiments, but Wu Wei is completely unaware of this and scoffs disdainfully, "Zheng Ya, did you get your head caught in a door?"
"To think you can develop supernatural cultivation techniques in this world is like treating supernatural techniques as technological products, something you can simply look into and copy from others' memories!"
"Hmm, that's my business, none of your concern," Zheng Ya retorted irritably. Wu Wei retorted angrily, "Zheng Ya, come out and give me a send-off."
Two emperors and powerful figures from the capital gathered, including members of your Fu clan who were clamoring for you to go south to welcome your bride. They all approached your viscount's residence.
This is coercion from those in power and a threat to the lives of your people. You dare not come out and see what happens…
