Chapter 448: Divine Transformation Technique, Precious Gift

Chapter 448: Divine Transformation Technique, Precious Gift

"How is the genetic research on spiritual roots going?"

After the sermon came to an end, Zheng Fa found Teacher Tian and talked about his previous research on spiritual roots.

If modern immortal ways want to develop rapidly, the exploration of spiritual roots is extremely important.

But it has been more than half a year since this matter began, and there seems to be no progress. I guess we have encountered some difficulties.

Zheng Fa hadn't asked many questions before, mainly because he didn't know much about research in this area and was afraid of being guided by an outsider.

On the other hand, we don’t want to put pressure on researchers.

Now that the Jade Book of Creation has evolved, it also contains a lot of biological knowledge. Not to mention being able to guide research, it should not be a problem to understand it.

I am asking Teacher Tian this now to see if he can help.

Teacher Tian and Tang Mudao looked at each other and said helplessly, "There has been some progress, but not much."

"What progress?"

Tang Mudao spoke up: "Through the spectrometer, we have a more precise definition of single spiritual roots and multiple spiritual roots."

"How do you define it?"

"By measuring the spiritual energy content in the spiritual jade, we found that if the total number of a person's spiritual roots is set at 100, then a single spiritual root represents a proportion greater than 80."

"How many spiritual roots?"

"If each type of spiritual root is to be measured, its proportion must be greater than twenty."

Zheng Fa understood.

Everyone has the five elements spiritual roots.

Double spiritual roots means that both spiritual roots are greater than 20%, while the other three spiritual roots are less than 20%.

In this way, from double spiritual roots downwards, naturally no type of spiritual root can account for more than 80%.

The three spiritual roots mean that there are three types of spiritual roots greater than twenty.

The issue is……

"What about the five spiritual roots?"

Zheng Fa thought for a moment and immediately found the problem. Could it be that the five spiritual roots were completely equal and all were twenty?
This is such a coincidence! It is much more difficult than having only one spiritual root.

"According to our research, the five spiritual roots do not exist." Tang Mudao said slowly, "At least, in the nursing home, the five spiritual roots do not exist."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Fa began to recall what he had seen and heard in the Xuanwei Realm:
He had never seen a cultivator with five spiritual roots.

Even those with three spiritual roots or below were almost unable to enter the immortal gate.

To be honest, the five spiritual roots are too insignificant in the Xuanwei Realm, and no one cared about them before.

Even though Zheng Fa did not value spiritual roots as much as other immortal sects, he did not care much about cultivators with less than three spiritual roots.

I didn't care about this matter.

"Doesn't that mean everyone has four spiritual roots or above?"

Zheng Fa frowned. This didn't quite fit in with the reality of the Xuanwei Realm. The Spirit Jade could detect the five spiritual roots.

Tang Mudao explained: "Spiritual roots only represent the proportion of spiritual energy, not the total amount of spiritual energy."

Zheng Fa was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized: "Difference in physique?"

"Yes, we found that people who practiced radio gymnastics can absorb more spiritual energy than others, although the increase may only be 3%." Tang Mudao explained, "There are also some people who absorb a small amount of spiritual energy and have four spiritual roots. The accuracy of the spiritual jade measurement is not enough, and the response is not accurate, so they are regarded as having five spiritual roots."

Broadcast gymnastics?

A light bulb went off in Zheng Fa's mind.

Radio gymnastics is, after all, a form of Taoist martial arts, and Taoist martial arts are related to the Taoist body.

He was almost certain what the so-called qualifications for cultivating immortals were:

Tao body and spiritual roots.

The Tao body is more precious and more essential. It may be able to increase the total amount of spiritual energy absorbed by the cultivator. Of course, there are also some corresponding strange abilities.

However, the spiritual roots determine the conversion rate of the absorbed spiritual energy into spiritual power.

It's a bit like a car's gas tank capacity and combustion efficiency.

He nodded at Tang Mudao and looked at Teacher Tian.

"There has been little progress in gene sequencing," said Teacher Tian helplessly. "The number of samples from the nursing home is too small."

"The human genome is so huge, with billions of base pairs, and we have never figured out the functions of about 15 percent of the genes."

There was frustration in Teacher Tian's tone.

"The percentage of spiritual roots mentioned by Professor Tang is too general and not intuitive enough... We have no clue at all now."

Zheng Fa also felt a headache when he thought about it.

There are only about a thousand people in nursing homes nowadays, so the sample size is not enough.

On the other hand, from the perspective of the so-called spiritual roots ratio.

Spiritual roots are probably not affected by just one gene.

But if spiritual roots are the result of the combined effects of multiple genes, then it would be almost impossible to start now.

“The question now is… do we need a more accurate characterization?”

Teacher Tian nodded and said, "Yes, it would be best to find out what body structure determines spiritual roots, so that we can make use of previous research results instead of groping in the dark like we are doing now."

Seeing Teacher Tian’s frustrated face, Zheng Fa smiled and said:

"It's okay. Research can't be rushed. It's not like there's nothing to gain."

"Ok?"

"If we can't figure out our spiritual roots, let's just do radio gymnastics for now."

Tang Mudao and Teacher Tian looked at each other and nodded slowly.

Zheng Fa’s idea is very simple, since his spiritual roots cannot find a direction for the time being.

Radio gymnastics is also a useful means to enhance the qualifications of modern people.

In the modern world today, there is spiritual energy everywhere. Although it is still a little thin for cultivation, it is enough for practicing martial arts.

……

"Use the Nine Chapters Array to deduce the Daoist martial arts?"

In the Nine Mountains Realm, Senior Sister Zhang heard Zheng Fa's request, frowned, thought for a moment, and said:

"If learning Daoist martial arts can enhance one's aptitude for cultivating immortals, then it is indeed valuable."

"It's just that I don't know much about Rudao martial arts, so I don't know how effective it will be if I deduce it."

As a natural Yuanling Taoist body, Senior Sister Zhang has never practiced such low-end martial arts.

"Besides, cultivators don't really value martial arts." Uncle Pang said, "No one has ever paid attention to the 3% increase in cultivation before."

This is indeed the case.

The Xuanwei Realm has hardly ever made accurate quantification of any aspect of spiritual practice.

The more important reason is that the immortal sect still prefers geniuses, or in other words, they have no shortage of cultivators, so they just choose the best from the best.

No matter how useful the Taoist martial arts are, can they compare to a single spiritual root and a Taoist body?

Three percent?

Not enough trouble for everyone.

Only someone like Zheng Fa, who wants to promote cultivation, would attach so much importance to entering the martial arts world.

The deduction of the Nine Chapters Array does not come out of thin air; it requires a lot of corresponding data.

"I have some research data on Taoism martial arts." Zheng Fa took out a jade tube and handed it to Senior Sister Zhang.

Inside this jade tube are some of the results of modern research on radio gymnastics.

Senior Sister Zhang took the jade tube, looked at it for a while, nodded and said, "Then I can try it."

"No, you don't have to try, Senior Sister."

"Don't need me?"

"Look behind the jade tube."

"later?"

Senior Sister Zhang was stunned for a moment, and her consciousness went into the jade tube again. This time, she did not open her eyes for a very long time.

Uncle Pang and Uncle Huang looked at each other blankly. They both felt itchy in their hearts, but they couldn't see what was in the jade tube.

But what they could see was that the expression on Wuyi's face was very, very complicated.

Senior Sister Zhang opened her eyes, held the jade tube, and looked at Zheng Fa with watery eyes:
"Nine Chapters of Calculation?"

Zheng Fa nodded and said:
"Senior Sister, you won't have to bother controlling the Nine Chapter Array in the future!"

Uncle Pang couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked hurriedly, "What is Nine Chapters of Calculation?"

"The Nine Chapters Calculation Spirit, in the easiest terms to understand, is the formation spirit. This formation spirit can replace me and control the Nine Chapters Calculation Formation."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Pang's eyes widened and he shouted with an ignorant look on his face:
"There is such a thing as a formation spirit?"

He suddenly looked towards the other side of the hall.

Xie Qingxue stood there, her eyes wider than his.

Now, Uncle Pang felt relieved: It turns out that people from the Tianhe Sect are also so ignorant.

"Can I see it?"

Xie Qingxue spoke.

Ever since she learned that her own sect was restricted from researching formations, she has become extremely interested in formations and has found many classics to study.

Senior Sister Zhang glanced at Zheng Fa, and when she saw him nod, she simply handed the jade tube to Xie Qingxue.

Xie Qingxue held the jade tube and read for a long time, then suddenly shouted: "Isn't this a spiritual practice?"

Uncle Pang and Uncle Huang were startled and asked in a lost voice, "Spiritual Transformation Technique?"

For these two Nascent Souls, the four words "Spirit Transformation Technique" are simply captivating.

Senior Sister Zhang raised her lips, even showing some obvious pride:

"It's the Spiritual Transformation Technique. It's tailor-made for me and is the most suitable for me."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Pang and the other two turned to look at Zheng Fa and asked in unison:

"Is it really... a divine transformation technique?"

"You can say that." Zheng Fa nodded and said, "This Nine Chapters of Calculation Spirit originally came from the "Red Sky Jade Book" of Haori Mountain, and the idea is exactly the same as that of Yang Shen Fa."

“Although it may not be complete, the direction should be right.”

In the final analysis, this thing is just a variant and simplified Yang Shen method.

Uncle Pang and the other two remained silent upon hearing this.

After a while, Uncle Pang spoke with difficulty: "You just said that you studied this thing to give Wuyi more time to rest?"

"That's how it started."

"And then you came up with a method to transform your spirit?"

Zheng Fa nodded slowly.

Uncle Pang heard this and slowly raised his head, looking at the roof of the hall. He thought for a long time and suddenly asked, "Brother Yuan, are you still in seclusion?"

Uncle Huang was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became strange: "How about calling him out?"

"It's time to shout it out." Uncle Pang sighed, "It would be fine if he died in seclusion, but if he becomes a spirit, I'm afraid he will be so depressed that he will want to die after he comes out..."

"..."

Uncle Pang's face was full of compassion: "No matter how many evil deeds Yuan has done, he has gone through two inner demon tribulations, and that's enough."

……

It will take some time to build the Jiuzhang Suanling.

Because Tang Lingwu and her team designed a completely new operator language, the entire Nine Chapters Array had to be started from scratch.

The algorithm of Jiuzhang Suanling is dozens of times more complicated than the previous calculation array.

Therefore, the calculation array on the university island not only had to be rebuilt from scratch, but also became much more complicated.

Senior Sister Zhang is naturally not in a hurry to become a god——

The Nine Chapters of Calculation of Spirits was more like a spiritual experiment for her.

By setting up formations and observing the situation of the calculation spirits, she could not only become familiar with the techniques, but also find out some flaws in the techniques and prepare for her future transformation into a spirit.

Therefore, she attached great importance to this matter.

This time, she didn't ask anyone for help in setting up the entire calculation array, and even Zheng Fa couldn't get a say.

The formation calculations were none of his business, and his senior sister had no time to care about him, so Zheng Fa was left with nothing to do. He simply returned to Paradise Island.

"elder brother!"

Zheng Shan, who had grown to the height of Zheng Fa's collarbone, ran over happily.

Mother Zheng also hurried out of the house, looked at her son, and asked, "Are you back?"

"Ah."

"Then...mother cooks?"

Zheng Fa suddenly felt a little guilty:
He hasn't had a proper meal at home for about half a year.

Zheng Fa is currently dealing with the affairs of the Nine Mountains Realm and the Hundred Immortals Alliance, and is now in charge of the Chongxuan Sect.

Even if he had no other chores, he would still practice cultivation or dual cultivation.

After all, the pressure from Haori Mountain was too great for him, and he wanted to seize every minute and every second.

During this period, I have much less time to spend with my mother and sister.

Although Paradise Island was close and he could reach it easily, eating there was not really necessary for him.

What's more, time was tight, so he used to just say a few words and leave.

Facing his mother's expectant eyes, Zheng Fa nodded and said:

"it is good."

When Zheng's mother heard this, she was so happy that she ran into the kitchen quickly.

"Brother!" Zheng Shan waved her hand, and a royal chair flew to Zheng Fa's buttocks. She flattered him, "Sit down!"

"Ok?"

Zheng Fa glanced at his younger sister.

Zheng Shan is seventeen years old this year. Although she still has some baby fat on her face, she is now considered a grown-up girl.

Although she has only one spiritual root, she practices quite fast and is now in the early stage of foundation building.

It's strange that he's so attentive today.

"Is something wrong?"

"Yes!" Zheng Shan nodded heavily, "Brother, I want to work for the Hundred Immortals Alliance!"

"Hundred Immortals Alliance?"

Zheng Fa frowned.

Currently, the disciples of the Nine Mountains Realm who work in the Hundred Immortals Alliance are actually two groups of people:
The Shenxiao battleship caravan that Han Qi is in charge of.

There are still some disciples of Uncle Pang who are investigating outside, but just for safety reasons, there are not many of them.

"Why do you have this idea?"

"I...I'm afraid of what others will say about me."

"You?"

"Say I'm your sister."

Zheng Fa frowned slightly: "Someone has an idea? Did you hear it?"

"No, no one." Zheng Shan shook her head and whispered, "But, I don't think it's good."

"Others have to take turns to do missions. I have established my foundation and have never left the Nine Mountains Realm."

Zheng Fa was silent for a moment.

He looked at Zheng Shan, feeling helpless.

After all, he is not a selfless person.

Although Zheng Shan does not have too many resources in the Nine Mountains Realm, she hardly encounters any dangerous missions.

"Really no one said anything?"

"Really not!"

"So you want to go out? Play?"

"Ok!"

Seeing his younger sister's affirmative expression, Zheng Fa nodded again.

Zheng Shan's expression lit up with joy.

"No."

"elder brother!"

"I'm not biased towards you." Zheng Fa's expression was a little cold. "Have you ever thought about what I would do if something happened to you or you were captured?"

"If someone uses you to threaten the Nine Mountains Sect, what will happen to those disciples?"

"After growing up like this, all you want is to go out and play?"

Looking at Zheng Fa, Zheng Shan's face froze.

She pursed her lips and was speechless.

Zheng Fa also shook his head in his heart.

Of course he was protecting Zheng Shan, but now Hao Rishan was watching from the side, and if anything happened to Zheng Shan, there would be a big mess.

Not only him, but also Uncle Pang and the others would not agree to let Zheng Shan leave the Nine Mountains Realm.

I guess my younger sister has no other choice but to come to him for help.

Seeing that his younger sister looked aggrieved, Zheng Fa was unwilling to coax her.

The brother and sister remained silent until dinner was served.

……

"What's wrong with you two?"

At the dinner table, Zheng's mother looked at the awkward Zheng Shan and the silent Zheng Fa, put down her chopsticks and asked.

Zheng Shan didn't say anything, just focused on eating.

Seeing this, and realizing that Zheng's mother was really worried, Zheng Fa opened his mouth and told her what had just happened.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Zheng's mother sighed:

"Shan'er told me about this... She didn't go there for fun."

Zheng Fa was surprised and glanced at Zheng Shan: "Then why?"

"You've been very busy lately."

"some."

"Shan'er can't see you, she misses you a little, but she also wants to help you... She doesn't think too much about it."

Mother Zheng looked at her daughter and said softly.

"..."

Zheng Fa also stopped using the chopsticks in his hand, turned his head and looked at his younger sister.

Zheng Shan slowly ate the rice in her mouth without saying a word.

"In the past six months, she has been practicing as soon as she came back from school. She works harder than before, hoping that she can help you more after building her foundation."

"This child hasn't grown up yet... She secretly told me," Mother Zheng chuckled, "that she can help Jiushan Sect go out and do things, and you can come back when you are free."

Is not grown up.

Zheng Fa looked at Zheng Shan, who still had her head lowered, and his heart softened.

……

After dinner, Zheng Fa walked into Zheng Shan's room.

Zheng Shan was sitting cross-legged on the bed meditating, and seemed unaware that Zheng Fa had come in.

"What? Are you still angry?"

"Not angry!"

"You can't go to the Hundred Immortals Alliance."

"Brother, you are so mean to me!"

"..."

Where did you learn this, little sister?

Zheng Fa tapped Zheng Shan’s little head.

Zheng Shan covered her head with her hands, her expression becoming even more resentful.

"I brought you a gift."

"Gift? Something delicious?"

Zheng Shan's eyes lit up immediately.

"No." Zheng Fa took out a storage bag, handed it to Zheng Shan, and said mysteriously, "It's better than food."

Zheng Shan took the storage bag excitedly and couldn't wait to open it.

A mountain of books fell onto her bed with a clatter.

Zheng Shan huddled at the foot of the bed, her lips trembling slightly as she glanced over the textbooks that covered half the bed.

“Is this… a gift?”

At this moment, she was really not angry anymore.

Not only was he not angry, but there was no anger on his face.

Or rather, I kind of want to die.

"Took the wrong one."

"Took it by mistake?"

Zheng Shan looked up blankly and saw Zheng Fa's face full of smiles. How could she not understand that Zheng Fa did it on purpose.

"elder brother!"

She jumped up from the bed and pounced on Zheng Fa with bared fangs and claws.

Zheng Fa pressed her forehead with his left hand, waved his right hand in front of her, and said with a smile:

"This is the gift."

Zheng Shan swung her arms at the air for a long time, punching the air violently before looking at the thing in Zheng Fa's right hand.

"Tongjian? I have Tongjian."

"This is different from the previous one. I just made it. Yours is the first one."

Zheng Fa said with a smile.

Zheng Shan's eyes lit up, but she still snorted at Zheng Fa before taking the Tongjian and pointing it upwards.

The patterns on the copper surface of the Tongjian changed and slowly lit up.

"what?"

Zheng Shan looked at the picture on the Tongjian and asked in surprise, "Why are there so many more things?"

There are six small patterns in the picture.

"Brother, what is this?"

"Click it."

Zheng Shan clicked on the first pattern, and the screen changed again, showing an interface.

In the interface, Zheng Fa’s avatar is in the upper left corner.

"Is this you, brother?"

"Yeah." Zheng Fa touched his little sister's head and said softly, "When you miss me in the future, just use this to find me... You can send me messages and talk to me directly."

"Really?"

Zheng Shan said with surprise on her face.

"More than that, order this."

According to what Zheng Fa pointed, Zheng Shan was another point, and the picture on the Tongjian changed again, and Zheng Fa's smiling face appeared on the picture.

Zheng Shan held the Tongjian in her hand and tilted her head to look at Zheng Fa.

"Whenever you want to see me, and whenever my mother wants to see me, you can see me. It's the same when I'm outside the Nine Mountains." Zheng Fa said with a smile, "Do you like this gift?"

"like!"
