I studied abroad in modern times

Nine Mountains Realm.

"Why did it die again..."

Zheng Fa sat in his small courtyard, listening to Zheng's mother complaining.

Because the Zheng family no longer has any land, and Zheng's mother has no time to spare, so she works in her own yard.

Others were planting flowers and grass, but Mother Zheng just wanted to plant some vegetables.

She opened two vegetable beds in the corner of the yard and tried several times.

But those seeds were imported from the Xuanwei Realm, and most of them were given to Qian Zhenren and their colleagues for experiments. They were not expensive, but they would not survive in the Jiushan Realm.

Senior Sister Zhang and Xiao Yuying also sat aside, watching as the head Zheng Fa listened to Zheng's mother complaining softly, without speaking, and just listened quietly.

After a while, Mother Zheng seemed to be satisfied and a little embarrassed. She got up and went to the kitchen to cook for them.

Today, Zheng Fa invites Xiao Yuying to his home for a meal. Senior Sister Zhang is accompanying her.

Xiao Yuying also readily went to the appointment, and she also understood that this was Zheng Fa's gratitude to her——

Her invitation to Mrs. Xuanhua was actually not of much benefit to her. Zheng Fa's move probably accepted her favor and expressed more of his closeness.

Xiao Yuying is quite new in her heart...

After all, as a Nascent Soul, she has long stopped eating mortal food.

Visiting a mortal's home was something she had never experienced before.

You know, she was born in a good family and was extremely talented. She was taken into the disciples by her master early on - she had hardly experienced any ordinary life.

She even understood that Zheng Fa had put his heart into it.

In fact, I don’t really lack anything.

Spiritual stone? treasure? Inheritance?

Jiushan Sect wanted to give it to her, but she still looked down upon it...

Most importantly, she vaguely felt that Zheng Fa understood her inexplicably——

She invited Mrs. Xuanhua, but she was willing to do so.

If Zheng Fa wants to give this to that...

She curled her lips when she thought of this, and as soon as she lay down on the chair, she understood what Zheng Fa wanted to say——

I treat you to a meal, not because your helping hand is only worth a meal, but because I remember it in my heart.

Too many, for fear of belittling you.

Xiao Yuying smiled and suddenly felt that the smell of food on the tip of her nose was a little more fragrant.

…

Zheng Fa didn't have time to think so much. He invited Xiao Yuying to express his gratitude. On the other hand, he also wanted to rest.

After all, almost all the top management of the Jiushan Sect were mobilized to refine the Hanwai Dan, which took more than a month.

The body is not tired, but the mind is also tired.

But Zheng Fa could not ignore it completely. He held several communication talismans in his hand and looked at them one by one.

Many of these communication talismans were sent by the Seventh Young Master. This man had to write down all the big and small things, and the communication talismans were both trivial and dense.

But Zheng Fa can feel at ease this way - this shows that the seventh young master is living a very happy life in the Hundred Immortals League, and the communication talisman seems to be free of charge.

The other part is naturally the various news coming from Wushuang Society.

Yan Wushuang has returned to the Tianhe Sect, but no particularly important news has come yet, only some side rumors, probably collected by other members of the Wushuang Sect.

"The Supreme Taoist Master Jiang Chengkong..."

Zheng Fa put down a communication talisman and murmured.

"What's wrong?"

Senior Sister Zhang asked.

"This person said he was here to support the Hundred Immortals Alliance, but he was visiting other immortal sects along the way. He didn't seem to be in a hurry at all."

To be honest, Zheng Fa couldn't understand this man's operation.

In fact, he doesn’t even understand the current situation:

The intensity of the battle between the Great Freedom Demon Sect and the Hundred Immortals Alliance seems to be rising, but it is far lower than Zheng Fa thought.

"Isn't that the case all the time? How can top forces such as Tai Shang Dao and Da Zi Zi Demon Cult determine the outcome in the short term?"

Senior Sister Zhang looked at Zheng Fa doubtfully, obviously not knowing why he didn't understand.

"..." Zheng Fa was a little silent and sighed, "I thought wrong..."

He forgot that his view of time was completely different from that of Xuanwei Mighty…

Xiao Yuying on the side also said: "The Taishang Dao sect is extremely mysterious. My master once said that among the five Xuanwei sects, the one with the most profound foundation is probably the Taishang Dao."

"..."

Zheng Fa listened with a thoughtful look on his face.

"I know Jiang Chengkong. This person should be a genius monk 13,000 years ago... Now he is at least a god." Xiao Yuying added.

"He was almost the best of his generation back then. I often saw this name in the secret realms of that period... When the monks mentioned this person, they were filled with envy, jealousy and even fear..."

"A person like this is fighting against the Great Freedom Demon Cult...I don't think it's a matter of a year or a half, a hundred years or a thousand years."

After listening to Xiao Yuying's addition, Zheng Fa also understood the ability of this previous generation Taoist.

"Besides, he doesn't have to worry..." Xiao Yuying continued, "The Xuanwei world can be said to remain unchanged for ten thousand years. If you wait, nothing big will happen."

Zheng Fa also felt that it made sense——

Monk Transformation and Nascent Soul's views on time and current situation are naturally different from Zheng Fa's.

In particular, the development of the Xuanwei world is actually relatively slow. Naturally, they are not in a hurry and should be cautious.

but……

Will it remain unchanged for thousands of years?

Zheng Fa glanced at the sky. It was so foggy that he couldn't see where the sun was.

Ten thousand years is too long...

…

Zheng Fa turned to the next communication talisman. The communication talisman was from the seventh young master.

There is only a video in the letter, and the seventh young master’s voice is like a narration:

"This is the location of a spiritual field of the Hundred Immortals Alliance. It was raided by those demon cubs a few days ago..."

In the picture, there are ravaged fields.

The rice fields have dried up, the vegetable fields are in pieces, the soil underfoot is faintly blood red, and only half of the houses in the distance remain.

I don’t know whether there was fear or depression in the seventh young master’s voice:

"Thirty-two fellow students died, and more than 20,000 mortals were displaced... Things like this happen every day, every day."

Not only Zheng Fa, but also Xiao Yuying and Senior Sister Zhang were speechless.

"What a wonderful place..."

Suddenly, Zheng's mother's voice came from behind. She was carrying the freshly cooked dishes, and she probably saw the image just now.

Seeing Zheng Fa and the others looking back at her, she looked a little embarrassed and whispered:

"If you cultivate this land well, your life will be enjoyable."

Zheng Fa smiled and said, "Yes, it would be great to plant some fields."

…

"Master! Master! We have figured out the spirit wood transformation method!"

Qian Zhenren, the farming general of the Jiushan Sect, ran to Zheng Fa and said excitedly.

"real?"

Zheng Fa was also quite excited.

The spiritual wood transformation method is the Jiushan version of the protoplast fusion technology.

When he talked to Zhenren Qian about this, he discovered a problem:

Fortunately, cell fusion can be induced by a certain electric field.

But plant cell walls are really difficult to deal with—the first step in protoplast fusion is to remove the plant cell walls.

Of course there are various methods in modern times, such as using corresponding enzymes.

But Jiu Shan Realm does not have this technology.

If it weren't for the microscopic array and Uncle Pang's Hollow Spiritual Eyes, they would have been able to see even the cell walls.

Unexpectedly, Master Qian would give him a surprise so soon?

"It's not our fault. Mrs. Pang and Master Lin all gave us a lot of help."

"Zhenren Lin?"

"Lin Bufan, Lin Zhenren."

Zheng Fa was stunned by what Master Qian said.

Lin Bufan, a traitor to the Demon Cult of Freedom, has made another meritorious deed?

"What did he do?" Zheng Fa couldn't help but asked curiously.

"He has a blood evil method that is so corrosive that even monks can't stand it. It is precisely controlled under a microscopic array and used to corrode cell walls. The effect is excellent!"

...The disciples of the Great Freedom Demon Cult are full of treasures!

I wonder if Yan Wushuang is still interested in human trafficking?

…

Zheng Fa found Senior Sister Zhang and told her the good news, and also asked Senior Sister Zhang to add corresponding good deeds to Qian Zhenren and Lin Bufan.

Seeing him smiling heartily, Senior Sister Zhang also had a smile on her face: "Now that we have the method to transform spiritual trees, it will be easy for us to cultivate spiritual plants!"

Zheng Fa also nodded slightly.

"Not only spiritual plants, but also ordinary crops have methods..."

It is nothing more than integrating crops from the Nine Mountains Realm with spiritual plants and even vegetable species from the outside world to see if there are any new varieties that can adapt to the Nine Mountains Realm.

The technical level is here, and results are only a matter of time.

This kind of technology is not that meaningful to high-level monks like Senior Sister Zhang.

But for the bottom of the Jiushan Realm, it means too much.

"Yes, your mother should be growing vegetables..."

Senior Sister Zhang smiled and said, even though this matter was of no benefit to her, the joy in her smile was very sincere.

Zheng Fa was stunned, blinked, and suddenly said: "Senior sister..."

"Um?"

"Thank you……"

Zheng Fa suddenly realized that he had remembered to entertain Xiao Yuying, but Senior Sister Zhang silently did too much for herself.

She does almost all the chores.

Such as the technology of spiritual wood transformation and the technology of golden elixir engineering.

It didn't do her much good, but behind it was the hard work of Senior Sister Zhang.

He is now gradually taking charge of the Jiu Shan Sect, and a large part of it is actually due to Senior Sister Zhang.

You know, Senior Sister Zhang’s injury has not healed yet.

It's just that this kind of support is too natural and too accustomed to Zheng Fa...

He somehow ignored it.

Senior Sister Zhang looked at him, suddenly stopped smiling, and her face was a little cold - as if she was in front of other disciples.

"Sister?"

"You can thank Xiao Yuying..."

"Um?"

"I don't need your thanks."

"..."

"I'm not allowed to thank you."

…

Xiao Yuying's mind moved, and she always felt that someone was cricketing her behind her back.

"What are you thinking about?"

asked Mrs. Xuanhua sitting next to her.

Xiao Yuying shook her head and looked at Mrs. Xuanhua.

The two of them were outside the Jiushan boundary, in Mrs. Xuanhua's small courtyard.

"What is your current relationship with the Jiushan Sect?"

Mrs. Xuanhua inquired.

Xiao Yuying's eyes became more and more strange, and she looked at her without saying a word.

"I went back and tried the elixir refining method in the jade tube..."

Mrs. Xuanhua blushed and whispered.

"it works?"

"It's a bit of a problem, but... it saves a lot of materials and spiritual energy."

Mrs. Xuanhua said honestly.

Xiao Yuying nodded and understood why Mrs. Xuanhua was a bit arrogant but respectful.

She felt the same way.

She is also considered a genius in the art of thunder. Only in this way can she understand the depth of "Electromagnetism".

Mrs. Xuanhua is very accomplished in weapon refining.

An external alchemy method is naturally nothing to her.

But what was revealed behind the scenes was enough to make her tempted.

It can be said that the more genius you are, the more you understand the wonders of all kinds of knowledge in the Nine Mountains Realm.

In other words, there are nine mountain realms separating us...

"Jiushanjie and I cooperate with each other." Xiao Yuying explained, "Zheng Fa did not restrict my freedom. In fact, he is very generous."

This is also the reason why Xiao Yuying helped Jiushanjie invite Mrs. Xuanhua.

She felt that the "Archaeology" she taught was not as good as what she had learned in Jiu Shan Realm.

That’s why I’m willing to use my personal connections.

"That's why...you asked me for help?"

Mrs. Xuanhua understood and nodded gently, with a relieved look on her face.

"Then ask for me, if I want to be like you, is it okay?"

Xiao Yuying was not surprised. She nodded slightly and replied, "I'll ask Zheng Fa."

Mrs. Xuanhua couldn't help but smile.

Just listen to Xiao Yuying say: "Let me say it first, if the Nine Mountains Realm has never let you down, and you let down Zheng Fa... I will not sit idly by."

"..."

Mrs. Xuanhua was stunned, her face flushed, and she said tremblingly: "We have been cooperating for thousands of years, and it is a bit adultery to work together without surrender... Are you threatening me like this?"

"Um!"

"Are you really attracted to Zheng Fa?"

Mrs. Xuanhua stared with horror in her tone.

Obviously, she was joking before, but now... she actually believes it.

Xiao Yuying raised her head and thought for a moment before saying, "No matter what, I don't want to share it with anyone."

"Um?"

Mrs. Xuanhua didn't understand, but she could see that Xiao Yuying and Zheng Fa probably didn't have that kind of relationship.

"What about you and him?"

"...a friendship over a meal."

"Have you been kidnapped?" Mrs. Xuanhua was even more horrified. She pursed her lips and said, "Otherwise, don't ask, I'm a little scared..."

…

"Mrs. Xuanhua wants to come?"

Zheng Fa was actually not surprised. He showed the jade tube to Mrs. Xuanhua, so he naturally had this little thought in mind...

Who wouldn’t be confused by such enchanting knowledge?

He thought for a while and asked Xiao Yuying: "Fairy Xiao... what do you think?"

After all, he also had a crush on Mrs. Xuanhua.

The rumors about this woman in the Xuanwei world are quite untrue.

The person who knows her best is Xiao Yuying.

"...If we expect her to be tight-lipped and would rather die than reveal the secrets of the Nine Mountains Realm...that shouldn't work."

Xiao Yuying said softly, without any intention of speaking for Mrs. Xuanhua.

"But if you can bring her enough benefits, it will be difficult for her to betray you."

Zheng Fa understood.

Xiao Yuying is not vouching for Mrs. Xuanhua's moral character, but she agrees with this woman's reason.

To put it simply, Mrs. Xuanhua's loyalty comes from weighing the pros and cons.

He thought for a long time and then said: "Actually, our Nine Mountains Realm has begun to classify various inheritances and knowledge..."

Xiao Yuying nodded.

"If outsiders want to study in our Jiushan, they must make corresponding contributions to our Jiushan." Zheng Fa glanced at Senior Sister Zhang and said the rules he had discussed before, "This contribution is also measured by good deeds, but the requirements are It will be much higher than the staff inside Jiushan.”

"It means that if Mrs. Xuanhua wants to learn "Electromagnetism", she won't be like you, Fairy... but she will have to exchange for learning opportunities through various contributions."

"..."

Xiao Yuying frowned, and it took her a long time to understand.

This is actually a study abroad system. Today's education in Jiushanjie is actually closer to compulsory education.

But this is for the people inside Jiu Shan Realm - after all, Zheng Fa has a high degree of control over the people in Jiu Shan Realm.

But Mrs. Xuanhua is different.

This person has made no contribution to the Nine Mountains Realm and has no loyalty at all.

Then you pay some high tuition fees...that's not too much, right?

"How do you describe this contribution?"

"Like you, Fairy, you can also be a teacher. I will calculate the tuition fee for her."

"Or you can bring me various resources from the Nine Mountains Realm."

"Oh, if you want to join our Nine Mountains Sect, then of course everything will be easy."

Zheng Fa explained in detail.

Xiao Yuying understood that this requirement was actually much stricter than her previous one.

For example, in "Electromagnetism", although she is also a teacher, she does not strictly divide her contribution points - almost as long as she wants to learn it, Zheng Fa is willing to teach it.

But Mrs. Xuanhua did not receive this kind of treatment and had already begun to clearly mark the price.

"What about me?"

Xiao Yuying suddenly asked.

"Xianxian Xiao, you are naturally different."

Jiushan Sect and Xiao Yuying can be regarded as friends in need...

Xiao Yuying pursed her lips and suddenly glanced at Senior Sister Zhang who was standing aside.

Senior Sister Zhang: "?"

…

"What a big loss!"

In the Nine Mountains Realm, Mrs. Xuanhua followed Xiao Yuying and muttered.

"Look at the "Golden Elixir Project"... All the spiritual stones I earned in the past ten years have been given to the Nine Mountains Sect!"

As she said this, her face was filled with distress, as if her heart and liver had been ripped out.

"Didn't Zheng Fa say that? It would be much cheaper if you exchanged the inheritance."

Mrs. Xuanhua pursed her lips and sneered: "Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Then this is also a top-secret inheritance for the Jiushan Sect. What's wrong with showing you how many spiritual stones I want from you?"

"How do I know...whether this thing will work..."

Xiao Yuying glanced at the duplicitous Mrs. Xuanhua. Naturally, she chose the "Golden Elixir Project" because Zheng Fa said that the project was related to the outer elixir method.

"If it doesn't work, please give me more advice..."

Remembering Zheng Fa's other request, Xiao Yuying added.

"You really speak for Zheng Fa..."

"Do you know how many spiritual stones it will cost for me to observe the Golden Elixir Project?"

"How many?"

"don't want."

"..."

Mrs. Xuanhua stared at her.

"Do you think I should speak for him?"

Mrs. Xuanhua's face trembled, and she didn't want to pay attention to her.

...

The two walked to a corner of the university island, which had changed its appearance. A square courtyard with sharp edges and corners was located here.

This courtyard looked very different from most of the buildings in Xuanwei Realm.

The courtyard wall was very high, and there was no decoration on the wall. There was only a black iron-like gate that blocked the outside world's eyes.

When I walked into the courtyard, I saw Zheng Fa and a group of people standing in front of a strange-looking metal warehouse.

This metal warehouse looked like a candied haws, with three round warehouses connected up and down, and there were several square holes on it, and various patterns could be seen inside.

This thing was very large, standing on the ground, it was more than ten feet high and more than five feet wide.

A group of people standing in front of this thing seemed a little small.

"This is..." Mrs. Xuanhua guessed a little, but she couldn't believe it.

"Dan Ding."

Zheng Fa was not surprised to see that it was her, and explained.

"Is this a Dan Ding?"

Mrs. Xuanhua was dumbfounded when she saw this caterpillar-like thing.

Zheng Fa smiled, and suddenly a sentence popped up in his mind:

Why must your next Dan Ding be a Dan Ding...

...

He didn't really want to be different, to some extent, it was the only way.

The disciples of the "Golden Dan Project" project team still lacked some ability.

It was actually a bit difficult to build a Dan Ding in the traditional sense.

Then he simply changed his mind and built such a thing based on the principles summarized by himself and Cheng Yun and the observed experience...

On the one hand, this thing is bigger, and the requirements for craftsmanship are lower.

So-called stupid, big, black and rough.

On the other hand, making it bigger is also helpful for the process of refining external elixirs, which is convenient for observation and casting.

It can even carry out certain assembly line operations...

Since he was not capable enough, Zheng Fa simply decomposed the process of refining external elixirs again, and asked Uncle Pang and others to take different disciples to be responsible for a part of the refining.

In this way, the requirements for craftsmanship are lower.

In simple terms, as long as it conforms to the summarized principles, all other empirical rules are abandoned by Zheng Fa.

It can be said that this thing has basically no shortcomings except that it is a little ugly.

Whether it is beautiful or not is another matter, but what Jiushan Sect is pursuing now is that it can be used...

...

Zheng Fa nodded to the two of them and looked around.

Senior Sister Zhang, Uncle Pang, Master and the disciples of the "Golden Pill Project" project team all looked at Zheng Fa.

Zheng Fa took a deep breath: "Shenxiao Waidan, the first refining, start!"

Senior Sister Zhang waved her hand and put the Tiangang Disha Qi she bought into the Dan Ding.

The disciples behind her cast spells one after another.

Mrs. Xuanhua pursed her lips and felt that something she had never seen before was rushing towards her.

No, I just went back for a few days... Why can't I understand what you are doing!
