I studied abroad in modern times

"Fairy Xiao, thank you very much."

Zheng Fa handed several books in his hand to Xiao Yuying.

The book is some popular science about electromagnetism, uh, popular science for children.

This was chosen carefully by him.

It’s not that Zheng Fa is stingy. He has been in contact with Xiao Yuying for so long, and he has already deeply understood the other party’s knowledge level...

These books, I'm afraid...

Xiao Yuying flipped through the book excitedly, frowning slightly, and muttered: "This secret method is indeed profound..."

really!

"Fairy Xiao, you are welcome to visit Jiu Shan Realm again in the future."

During these days, Zheng Fa was busy giving lectures to Senior Sister Zhang, and he really didn't have time to copy Xiao Yuying's books.

This person didn't rush him, which made Zheng Fa a little grateful.

"Are you really not planning to leave the Nine Mountains Realm?"

Xiao Yuying said in surprise.

"Um."

In fact, even without the threat of the Great Freedom Demon Cult, Zheng Fa has little interest in going out.

Xiao Yuying frowned, and the books in her hands disappeared in a flash.

She pondered for a long time before speaking: "Fellow Daoist Zheng, you are a very promising person."

"Um?"

Zheng Fa was stunned, wondering why she suddenly said this.

Xiao Yuying's next words made Zheng Fa understand.

"But when it comes to cultivation, it won't work behind closed doors."

"Xiao Fairy."

"Do you know, among so many secret realms, which one have I seen the most?"

"What?"

"Monks who have been in seclusion for a long time and do not communicate with the outside world may become obsessed with it, or they may have no hope of a future, and in the end they can only die."

Zheng Fa nodded slightly.

"But many times, in the secret realms of my contemporaries or in the caves of my predecessors, I can see that the problems that those people have struggled to think about have already been solved by the predecessors... It's just that they have no information or are limited by their own opinions. Just know it.”

Xiao Yuying turned to look at Zheng Fadao: "The same is true for monks, and the same is true for sects. Going closed may bring temporary safety, but it will often lead to decline."

"Of course, it's a good thing that you can enter the Nine Mountains Realm. Now that the Great Zizai Demon Sect is born, Xuanwei will have a catastrophe. It is certainly a good thing to have the Nine Mountains Realm."

"But from my point of view, a great catastrophe is also a time when heroes emerge in large numbers and all kinds of immortal magic explode."

"You shouldn't delay your talent."

After Xiao Yuying finished speaking, she nodded to Zheng Fa and disappeared into the Nine Mountains Realm.

Zheng Fa cupped his hands towards the place where Xiao Yuying disappeared. He was actually quite grateful for Xiao Yuying's reminder - in his opinion, Xiao Yuying actually had a bit of a historian's mind.

Zheng Fa even agreed with the other party's observation.

Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s talk about Venerable Tianhe—his idea of ​​​​the natal magic weapon probably comes from the Shinto method of his predecessors.

What's more, the war years are often the era when weapons advance the fastest. In the chaos of the immortal world, various monks verify each other and the various secret methods are integrated. The immortal method should indeed progress much faster.

Xiao Yuying has this understanding, which is really amazing.

I'm afraid he really meant well when he said this to Zheng Fa.

…

After seeing Xiao Yuying off, Zheng Fa walked towards Hongqiao.

Now the Heavenly Palace has been divided into nine large parts by Zheng Fa, each of which has a main island.

The island where the Tiangong is located is connected to the other eight islands by Hongqiao.

There is an island among them that Zheng Fa specially set aside for Zhen Yuanying to live in.

He hadn't thought of this before, but Han Qi reminded him——

If they really want to live together, Senior Sister Zhang and the others would mind if Zheng Fa doesn't know.

But grassroots disciples like Han Qi are very concerned...

The place where Senior Sister Zhang lives is actually the former palace of a certain god. It was already dilapidated, but it was slightly repaired at this time, and it was not a loss for the people to live there.

Zheng Fa chose this palace for Senior Sister Zhang to live mainly because the palace is halfway up the mountain and there is a beautiful mountain lake next to it - Senior Sister Zhang loves water very much.

He walked to the lake, and the palace's reflection in the lake was clearly visible, and his heart suddenly calmed down.

The battle of the past two days seemed like an extremely distant thing.

As soon as he entered Senior Sister Zhang's bedroom, his eyes widened.

Senior Sister Yuan is leaning on Senior Sister Zhang's bedside, squeezing Senior Sister Zhang's face...

Senior Sister Zhang was seriously injured this time. She couldn't wake up for several days, and her aura was even weaker.

She was lying on the bed, her complexion was pale, and her face was as delicate as Zheng Fa had ever seen.

Of course - at this time, Senior Sister Zhang's cheeks were pinched a little red by Senior Sister Yuan.

Seeing Zheng Fa coming in, Senior Sister Yuan coughed lightly and retracted her hand.

"Senior Sister pinched me when I was a child..." Senior Sister Yuan seemed to be explaining, "I retaliate."

The more she talked, the higher her head became, as if it made sense.

Zheng Fa couldn't help but laugh.

Senior Sister Yuan had been looking worried every day for the past two days. How could she dare to seek death like this?

It can be seen that he also relaxed.

"Does it feel good?"

he asked suddenly.

"ah?"

Zheng Fa suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched Senior Sister Zhang's face, then withdrew his fingers and gently rubbed his fingertips.

He also said: "Very good."

"Really!" When Senior Sister Yuan saw that Zheng Fa had done it, she immediately stretched out her hand to grab Senior Sister Zhang's face and said, "When has Senior Sister Zhang ever been so good? Is there any reason in the world that only she is allowed to bully me? I am today …”

"Senior Sister Zhang!"

Zheng Fa said suddenly.

Senior Sister Yuan was stunned and slowly turned her head.

Senior Sister Zhang opened her eyes and silently looked at her hand on her face.

His expression was calm... scary.

"Sister!" Sister Yuan was startled and immediately retracted her claws, smiling awkwardly, "Junior Brother Zheng also pinched it!"

"...I pinched it." Zheng Fa looked at Sister Yuan, hesitant to speak, and then sighed.

He looked helpless.

"..."

Senior Sister Zhang glanced at him, turned her head, and stared at Sister Yuan, her eyes full of distrust.

Senior Sister Yuan: “???”

…

“Shrinkage is right.” Senior Sister Zhang said frankly, “Now it’s not just the problem of the Great Freedom Demon Sect. My injury won’t heal for a year or two.”

Zheng Fa frowned and said, “Is it that serious?”

“The original body of the ancestor…seems to have been destroyed.” Senior Sister Zhang explained softly, “If it weren’t for the Blood River Patriarch who broke through the mountain protection formation and let me see the true strength of the ancestor, I wouldn’t have the strength to transform into a god.”

“The true strength of the ancestor?”

“We are right. The current ancestor is actually the ancestor’s spiritual treasure—a special spiritual treasure. This spiritual treasure is composed of the formation, the nine mountains, and the spiritual veins in the nine mountains. Therefore, the ancestor’s original body was destroyed, and the current ancestor was not affected much.”

“I used myself as a medium to connect the current ancestor with the Mountain and River True Shape Talisman, and replaced the missing original self of the ancestor with the current ancestor, so that he has the strength to transform into a god.”

“But my soul is too weak to control this power…”

Zheng Fa also understood why Senior Sister Zhang was so seriously injured.

This method was something she had come up with temporarily, so it was not perfect.

Moreover, she only needed to cultivate for a year or two to control such a strong power, and the cost was not small.

What Senior Sister Zhang said made sense.

On the one hand, Senior Sister Zhang's strength was greatly reduced now.

On the other hand, Zheng Fa's Sun and Moon Bell and the Immortal Sword were in a stalemate.

None of the two "transformation gods" of the Jiushan Sect could fight.

So what's the point of wasting time?

"Senior Sister Zhang, can the Jiushan be moved in?"

This matter was extremely important to Zheng Fa.

This is a transformation cheat!

"It should be possible." Senior Sister Zhang pondered, "If the ancestor's body was still there, I would have no way to deal with it - different ways of transmigration would attack each other until one side was completely destroyed."

"But if the ancestor is not here, the situation will be much better."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Fa thought of the Immortal Sword.

I'm afraid that the consciousness of the Blood River Patriarch is still in the Immortal Sword, so it is still struggling.

"So, the natal spiritual treasure is extremely important for the transformation of the spirit."

Senior Sister Zhang nodded and said, "Venerable Tianhe is really amazing. The spiritual treasure of luck in the divine way was originally a trap left by the predecessors. The more you practice, the more you become like others. I didn't expect that after being transformed by him, it has now become the key to awakening yourself."

Zheng Fa understood something.

"The more you practice, the more you become like others..." He murmured, "The natal spiritual treasure actually backs up and stores your own nature, and when it is alienated by spiritual energy, you use the natal spiritual treasure to cultivate into someone else? But this other person is the original self? This idea is a bit powerful..."

Senior Sister Zhang also nodded after listening.

This thing sounds like a reinstallation system!

Or - anchor?

If the spiritual treasure of luck is an anchor for some powerful people to return.

The natal spiritual treasure seems to be an anchor for returning to nature.

"If there is no spiritual treasure of luck, I am afraid that Venerable Tianhe will not be able to create such a stunning method."

Senior Sister Zhang sighed.

Zheng Fa remembered what Xiao Yuying said.

He said, "Sister Zhang, what Xiao Yuying said is not without reason. Although we are now living in the Nine Realms, if we cling to our shortcomings and do not make progress, we will eventually perish."

Sister Zhang looked at him and motioned him to continue.

"Sister Zhang, after all the disciples are settled, I want to change the rules of the Nine Mountains Sect."

"How to change?"

Sister Zhang just asked.

"I want to change the Lun Fu Pavilion. On the one hand, we will prohibit internal fighting. On the other hand, we have to rewrite the textbooks, put aside the sectarianism, and teach some of the previous achievements, whether it is Uncle Pang's or our research, to the brothers."

"The General Affairs Pavilion must also be changed. I want all the brothers to promote the results of our research in the mortal world and educate the reserve talents we need - so as to obtain incense and promote the birth of spiritual plants."

Sister Zhang heard these two points and nodded gently, and seemed to have no objection.

"Sister Zhang, I want to encourage disciples to conduct various research and give rewards."

Zheng Fa's words made Sister Zhang frown slightly.

"How to reward?"

"On the one hand, give various honors - for example, if the outer disciples have certain research results, they can be granted the treatment of inner disciples. And if the inner disciples have achievements, they can also be granted the treatment of true disciples, and even the honor of elders."

Zheng Fa has been thinking about this for a while.

"On the other hand, it is naturally a physical reward - whether it is the spiritual materials in the medicine garden or the resources in the sect, they should be tilted towards this aspect."

Senior Sister Zhang pondered for a moment, and nodded slowly: "You mean, in addition to cultivation and talent, establish another path for smart people?"

"Yes."

This is what Zheng Fa has been hesitating about. This is to establish an evaluation system that is very different from the tradition of the Xuanwei Realm, and at the same time change the allocation of resources - to be honest, brains are not equivalent to talent, such as Senior Sister Yuan...

In order to develop, he had to improve the status of researchers.

But this matter is actually difficult for people to understand.

He talked to Senior Sister Zhang first, one of the natural reasons was to win her support.

And Senior Sister Zhang had more management experience than himself, and he also wanted Senior Sister Zhang to check for omissions for him.
