Chapter 453: Creation as a Work, Tongjian Smuggling

Chapter 453: Creation as a Work, Tongjian Smuggling
"Exploring the Decline of Akabane's Tiangang Qi" is not long.

Zheng Fa finished reading it quickly. He looked up and glanced at Senior Sister Zhang, but didn't say anything. Instead, he picked up the Jade Book of Creation and started reading again.

Seeing this, Senior Sister Zhang became more curious.

"I didn't expect that this disciple would actually give me a surprise."

After reading the paper again, Zheng Fa was silent for a few breaths before he sighed.

His eyes were somewhat empty as he spoke, and he was still thinking about the contents of the paper:
This paper was written by a foundation-building disciple, but it is not really a paper because there is not even a real conclusion in the paper.

In essence, this paper claims to be an exploration, but in reality it is just an observation report.

What is valuable is what he observed:

Akabane Tiangang Qi.

This is a kind of Tiangang Qi, which is actually not uncommon. The special thing is that it does not exist in the Nine Mountains Realm.

Not only does it not exist, the Chiyu Tiangang Qi cannot even exist in the Nine Mountains Realm:

This is the disciple's most valuable discovery.

Speaking of it, his discovery process was simple. This disciple didn't know where he got the Chiyu Tiangang Qi from, but he had never used it. After staying in the Jiushan Realm for a few years, he found that the spiritual energy in this thing had completely dissipated.

Finally, it turns into a purple-red solid powder, which can spontaneously combust at a slightly higher temperature.

He seemed unsure of what this thing was, but Zheng Fa understood it immediately:

Isn't this red phosphorus?
Red Feather Tiangang Qi is actually not uncommon, red phosphorus is more common, and this kind of change is rare.

What interested Zheng Fa even more was the reason for this change.

"Senior sister, after reading this paper, I thought of a question."

"Ok?"

Senior Sister Zhang looked at Zheng Fa's profile, but found that Zheng Fa was not looking at her, but staring blankly at the void, and his speech speed was a little faster than usual.

She knew that her junior fellow apprentice brother didn't seem to be talking to her.

Instead, I thought of something and asked myself questions and answered them unconsciously, sorting out my thoughts.

"Spiritual energy is so changeable, so why is this world so stable?"

Senior Sister Zhang looked at Zheng Fa, feeling confused.

What is world stability?

Zheng Fa continued to talk to himself:

“After reading this paper, I kind of understand it.”

"Understand what?"

"Non-spiritual matter is the foundation of this world, so it is the same..."

Senior Sister Zhang felt that she was getting more confused and asked, "Same? What do you mean?"

Of course, there is a high degree of similarity between the modern world and the mysterious world.

In Zheng Fa's opinion, this is not very reasonable:
If spiritual energy is understood as the rules of the world, then the world rules of the Xuanwei Realm are actually quite complicated.

Zheng Fa said that the Xuanwei Realm was too stable for this reason: there were so many rules, some of which were contradictory, and it should have exploded long ago.

It just so happens that the Xuanwei World has not only existed for several eras, but also has countless similarities with the modern world.

Without the variable of aura, there would be almost no difference between the two worlds.

This shows that the existence of spiritual energy does not seem to affect the underlying laws of the Xuanwei world.

Most matter still operates according to modern physical laws.

This is actually not simple: this phenomenon represents the physical laws of the modern world, which are more fundamental than aura.

To put it in an analogy, Reiki is a virtual machine, and the modern world is the underlying operating system.

Zheng Fa had some doubts before, but after reading this paper today, he finally understood:
The reason for the change in Chiyu Tiangang Qi is actually easy to guess - even with the Qingjing Bamboo, the spiritual energy composition of the Nine Mountains Realm is not complete.

Because there is no corresponding spiritual energy, the Chiyu Tiangang Qi cannot last long.

From this we can draw a conclusion that may surprise Zheng Fa:
Without spiritual energy, all spiritual materials would probably decay into common substances in the modern world.

In other words, the spiritual material particles will return to a steady state.

And this steady state is the material of the modern world.

Therefore, the human body structure on both sides is exactly the same, and most of the substances are also no different.

Seeing this, Senior Sister Zhang couldn't help but ask again:

"Junior brother?"

"Senior Sister, do you think this is what happens when spiritual energy declines?"

"...It's a bit like that. Without a certain spiritual energy, the spiritual material can't take shape, and can't even exist?" Senior Sister Zhang pondered, "Then in this case, if all spiritual energy doesn't exist..."

Zheng Fa silently replied:

The mysterious and subtle world will be exactly the same as the modern world.

Seeing him laughing so happily, Senior Sister Zhang frowned and asked, "But is this worth you being so happy about?"

"Senior Sister, I have an idea for the next step of "Tian Gang Di Sha Transformation"."

"..."

Senior Sister Zhang took out her Tongjian, found the paper, read it over and over again, and frowned:

Have you become stupid?
……

"What are you looking for me for?"

The Patriarch Jiushan stood in the Zheng family's court with a cold expression and did not sit down.

"Grandmaster, are you still angry?"

"Angry? Why should I be angry? What should I be angry about?" The Nine Mountain Patriarch shouted, "I am just a great Patriarch, but I can't even get a Grand Elder. Isn't it embarrassing? What's there to be angry about?"

Little Golden Crow followed him and shouted, "That's right! Why isn't the Grand Master the Supreme?"

Senior Sister Yuan also nodded vigorously.

Seeing them showing such support, Jiushan Patriarch became even more imposing: "Look at this, what does it mean to be in the hearts of the people?"

The Patriarch of Jiushan now holds the position of elder, just like Madam Xuanhua and others.

But the Supreme Elder...

Zheng Fa was not worried about his character, but was mainly worried about the master's IQ.

This ancestor seems a little unreliable. If we hand over the Nine Mountains Realm to him, we might really be killed.

Originally he was a little hesitant about whether to give the master a chance to prove himself.

As a result, we saw the three handsome men gathered together, a lively scene with like-minded people.

He and Senior Sister Zhang looked at each other and felt that their previous caution was extremely foresighted.

"Ancestor, I asked you to come here so that you can enhance the spiritual energy of Wanxian Island."

"No!" Jiushan Patriarch was very stubborn. "I have worked hard for Jiushan Sect for so many years, and what have I gained? No!"

"..."

Zheng Fa felt a headache when he saw the Jiushan Patriarch who looked like he was about to go on strike.

"Ancestor..."

"Don't do it!"

"Well, Master, why don't we make a pact?"

"Promise?"

"I asked the ancestor to strengthen his spiritual energy because I want to test a cultivation method later."

"Cultivation method? What cultivation method?"

"It is a method derived from the Transformation of Heavenly Gang and Earthly Demons. However, it consumes a lot of spiritual energy to practice, so I need your help, Grandmaster."

"Then I won't do it either!"

"So I promised you, Grandmaster, that if you can help me practice for a month, I will recommend you as the Grand Elder!"

Jiushan Patriarch said happily: "Really?"

"Senior Sister Zhang is my witness!"

Senior Sister Zhang stood aside and nodded with her lips pursed.

Jiushan Patriarch looked at Zheng Fa and asked in confusion: "Just one month?"

"A month?"

"So simple?"

"Of course, I have one condition. If the Grandmaster gives up in the middle of a month, then you must help me continue practicing in the future."

Upon hearing this, Patriarch Jiushan immediately became alert and looked Zheng Fa up and down.

Zheng Fa turned his head and glanced at Senior Sister Zhang, feeling somewhat helpless. This ancestor was not really stupid!
The Patriarch of Jiushan frowned, took two steps back, turned around and waved to Senior Sister Yuan and Little Golden Crow.

The three heads came together to discuss the matter.

"What do you two think?"

"I feel like Senior Sister is snickering!"

Senior Sister Yuan whispered.

"There's a conspiracy? Then I won't agree?"

"Promise!" Little Golden Crow shouted, "How can I not agree?"

"…Grandmaster, think about it. If you persist for a month, you will be the Supreme! What can you do if you don't want to do it at that time?"

"Right……"

"Besides, Master, you are a spirit, and you have spiritual veins and you have a lot of spiritual energy. Zheng Fa is still a Nascent Soul. What are you afraid of?"

Patriarch Jiushan listened and nodded repeatedly.

"Besides, it doesn't matter if we lose! Isn't it just helping Zheng Fa practice? What's the big deal? We won't lose anything!"

The little golden crow flapped its wings on the shoulders of the Master of Nine Mountains and seemed to have great confidence in the Master of Nine Mountains.

"Makes sense!"

Jiushan Patriarch suddenly turned around and shouted to Zheng Fa: "I agree!"

What he didn't see was that behind his head, the little golden crow was looking at Zheng Fa, fluttering its feet, with loyalty clearly visible on its face.

With these two advisers, the Nine Mountains Patriarch has it.

……

Zheng Fa sat in the pavilion in the courtyard, and Senior Sister Zhang stood beside him to protect him.

At this time, the Nine Mountains Patriarch transformed into a talisman of the true shape of mountains and rivers, standing in the center of the courtyard.

The spiritual energy of the entire Wanxian Island is five or six times denser than before.

After Zheng Fa closed his eyes and regulated his breathing for a few incense sticks, rainbow light slowly began to flicker on his body.

When the light faded, Zheng Fa disappeared. "Where's my junior brother?" Senior Sister Yuan shook her head and looked left and right, looking for Zheng Fa everywhere, with a confused expression, "Didn't you say you were going to practice?"

"He is practicing."

"what?"

Senior Sister Zhang pointed to the sky, with a look of amazement in her eyes: "He's here."

Senior Sister Yuan looked in the direction Senior Sister Zhang pointed, and after looking for a long time, she didn't see anything.

She rubbed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she opened her mouth and looked up at the sky.

The Great Sun Fire was burning fiercely in the sky, and the entire sky of Wanxian Island was a vast golden sea of ​​fire.

Zheng Fa's Nascent Soul crossed its short legs and sat among the golden flames, like a fairy boy descending to the earth.

The spiritual energy of the entire University Island flew towards Zheng Fa's Nascent Soul like a group of frantic moths.

The rich spiritual energy that was visible to the naked eye just now was actually consumed by the true fire of the sun in an instant.

"So fast?"

The panicked cry of the Nine Mountain Patriarch was heard from the Mountain and River True Shape Talisman, and streams of spiritual energy surged out from it, replenishing the spiritual energy consumed on the island.

Not enough!
Far from enough!

Every trace of spiritual energy that appears will be swallowed up by the Great Sun True Fire in an instant.

"Slow down! Slow down!"

The voice of Jiushan Patriarch became more and more broken, and even sounded like he was crying.

Senior Sister Yuan counted on her fingers: "It's only half an hour, right?"

Senior Sister Zhang nodded slightly.

"Can the Grandmaster live to see the end of a month?"

Senior Sister Yuan looked at the Mountain and River True Shape Talisman. There was no sound in the Mountain and River True Shape Talisman. There was only a desperate silence.

Zheng Fa's Nascent Soul was in the true fire, swallowing up the spiritual energy in big gulps, and it was growing visibly.

Gradually, his Nascent Soul grew from a young child into a teenager of eleven or twelve years old.

"Middle stage of Nascent Soul?"

The Nine Mountain Patriarch in the Mountain and River True Shape Talisman couldn't help but shout again.

"Junior brother was almost at the early stage of Nascent Soul Perfection before, so this is normal."

"What's normal about this?" Jiushan Patriarch refuted while trying his best to transfer spiritual energy, "This is more than a hundred times faster than ordinary people! What kind of cultivation method is this?"

"My junior brother's name is Tiandi Honglu."

"Heaven and Earth Furnace?"

……

The idea of ​​the Heaven and Earth Furnace did not originate from that paper, but was something Zheng Fa had been thinking about for a long time.

The cultivation in the Nascent Soul stage is actually to absorb spiritual energy and construct spiritual material particles in the body to make the Nascent Soul grow.

This is the reason why he attached so much importance to the spiritual material transformation of "Tian Gang Di Sha Transformation":

Speaking of which, being able to transform into spiritual materials is not very useful.

After all, it is impossible for him to refine himself.

If spiritual materials can be transformed, then corresponding spiritual material particles can naturally be transformed - this is the essence of Nascent Soul. Zheng Fa attaches great importance to the transformation of spiritual materials in order to explore cultivation more deeply.

But spiritual materials are too abundant and extensive.

Because of the existence of spiritual energy, the types of spiritual materials in the Xuanwei Realm are dozens of times more than those without spiritual energy. According to the information collected by Zheng Fa, there are many types of spiritual materials, but the total amount is small, and each type of spiritual material is even rarer.

There are too many types, making it difficult to summarize spiritual materials.

There has been no clear idea about this idea.

The Furnace of Heaven and Earth was different. At this moment, he transformed into a breeze, carrying the true fire of the sun, and madly devoured and refined the spiritual energy contributed by the Nine Mountain Patriarch, turning it into nutrients for the Nascent Soul.

The inspiration that the paper gave him can be summed up in eight words:
Heaven and earth are the furnace, and creation is the work.

Or to put it more bluntly:

Zheng Fa is no longer breathing in spiritual energy, but at this moment, this world is his Dantian!

In the past, he would choose the spiritual energy that was suitable for his Nascent Soul.

Now he eats everything, both meat and vegetables, and he will eat whatever is suitable for him first.

Then use the characteristics of the Great Sun True Fire to remove impurities in the spiritual material.

Simply put, the practice of most cultivators is like searching for treasure under the sea.

Zheng’s approach was different…he drained the sea.

This wave of spiritual energy was truly terrifying. A stream of light came from the Rainbow Bridge and landed beside Senior Sister Zhang.

Uncle Pang appeared from the light. He had a worried look on his face, but when he saw Zheng Fa's Yuanying in the sky, he immediately froze. After a while, he turned to ask Sister Zhang with a stiff neck:
"Is this the method Zheng Fa wants to experiment with?"

Senior Sister Zhang nodded slightly.

"...How come Zheng Fa's Nascent Soul has grown so big all of a sudden?"

Before Senior Sister Zhang could say anything, he continued, "My Nascent Soul is about the same size as his!"

Senior Sister Zhang opened her mouth and was about to say something when she heard Uncle Pang's extremely sad tone:
"…Now I'm smaller than him."

Senior Sister Zhang closed her mouth again.

At this moment, no comfort could ease Uncle Pang's sadness.

Apart from……

"Grandmaster, why did you suddenly grow so...small?"

Looking at the haggard and skinny Jiushan Patriarch, Uncle Pang bulged his eyes and could hardly recognize him:

The Nine Mountain Patriarch looked up at Zheng Fa's increasingly robust Nascent Soul in mid-air, then looked down at his own body which had shrunk in just half a month. The sadness on his face flowed silently, and his expression could be described in two words:
Blood loss!
Uncle Pang understood:
None of Zheng Fa's Yuanying's flesh came in vain.

Senior Sister Zhang looked at Senior Uncle Pang, feeling confused.

Why did she feel that Uncle Pang was much happier after seeing the Grandmaster?
……

"What's going on in Wanxian Island?"

The changes in Wanxian Island were so drastic that even through the fog, one could faintly feel the spiritual energy surging and the true fire boiling.

"I heard from Zheng Fa that he wants to try a cultivation method."

Xie Qingxue said.

She, Yan Wushuang and Old Han were all strolling in the market at the moment.

"Why is it so noisy?"

Yan Wushuang frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

They looked ahead and saw a new store. There was a long queue in front of the store. The queue even extended to Yan Wushuang and the other two and turned a corner.

The noise came from the store.

A Jiushan disciple walked out of the store and shouted to the team:
"Don't wait in line! Tongjian is out of stock! Come back tomorrow!"

"Out of stock again? I've been waiting for seven days!"

"That's right! I didn't leave last night! I meditated here all night, how come I still can't grab it?"

There was a lot of complaints and anger in the team, and the anger was even stronger than the Great Sun Fire on Wanxian Island.

"I can't do anything about it! Tiangong Pavilion can only produce so much in one day!" The disciple seemed to be used to such complaints and explained loudly, "Let's not talk about you. Some of our Jiushan Sect disciples haven't received their gifts yet!"

“Not to mention the orders from the Baixian League sects. I heard that if you place an order now, you can only receive it half a year later!”

"Seven days is really not long!"

When everyone heard this, they all looked towards the dock.

As soon as the Shenxiao battleship landed, a group of disciples ran up.

Han Qi shouted to the captain: "Have you checked the cargo? Is there anything missing?"

"no!"

"Do you have any extra copies of Tongjian? I'm in a hurry!"

"Brother, please kill me!"

Han Qi looked a little disappointed, but he didn't seem to have time to say more. He didn't even get off the plank and led the fleet directly out of the Jiushan Realm.

Seeing this scene, the monks who were blocking the store door looked at each other, and knowing that the production of Tongjian was indeed not enough, they dispersed.

Yan Wushuang asked curiously: "Are these all cultivators from the Hundred Immortals Alliance?"

"Most of them are independent cultivators." Xie Qingxue is now also an elder of Jiushan Sect and is well-informed. She explained, "Tongjian's production capacity is not enough, and now we mainly focus on the disciples in the sect."

"What about them?"

“They gave too much.”

Xie Qingxue looked at the scattered cultivators who were unwilling to leave, and her expression was full of admiration: "Give it to the Tongjian in the sect. It has many functions but is only the cost price."

"But they... not only are the functions simple, but the price is increased tenfold."

"The sects in the Hundred Immortals Alliance are even more exaggerated. Some sects have said that as long as the Tongjian is enough, they are willing to buy 50% more elixirs and magic tools!"

Yan Wushuang was surprised and asked: "Is it possible?"

"I heard Zheng Fa call this distribution of goods..." Xie Qingxue shook her head, "I don't understand it either, but later Zheng Fa decided to limit the daily supply to the market and the Hundred Immortals Alliance."

"There are very few of them, but they are becoming more and more popular. The lines are getting longer and longer every day. It's like crazy."

Mr. Han suddenly laughed: "This group of people is not at a disadvantage."

Yan Wushuang looked at Mr. Han curiously.

"Some of these people really want it, and some... Do you know that they buy the Tongjian and sell it for ten or eight times the profit?"

Even Xie Qingxue was shocked.

"Really?"

"Of course, if I didn't have the information, how would I dare to say this?"

Mr. Han had a firm expression on his face, but it was hard to believe what he said.

"The prices here are already high, and they can sell it for ten or eight times the price? Are the buyers stupid?"

Old Han looked at him deeply, as if he thought he was short-sighted: "Some people are not members of the Hundred Immortals Alliance, and they dare not enter the Nine Mountains Realm."

Yan Wushuang suddenly realized: "From the Chongxuan Sect?"

"There are people from Chongxuan Sect, and there are also Yuanyings from Haori Mountain who secretly buy this. I don't know the origins of some of these people."

Yan Wushuang was anxious after hearing this: "They bought it? Does Zheng Fa know about it?"

Old Han also showed confusion on his face: "Of course I know, I told him the first time..."

"Then still sell it?"

"He was laughing so wickedly."
