Chapter 468 Modern Development, Since Ancient Times

While the mysterious world is experiencing turmoil, the modern world is becoming increasingly peaceful.

It's autumn again in Hongshan.

Zheng Fa was walking in the woods behind the nursing home, with Tang Lingwu by his side.

Two steps behind him, Old Man Bai and Teacher Tian were walking side by side.

The autumn air in the woods is bleak.

The broad yellow leaves rustled under his feet, and the autumn wind blowing through the branches slapped Zheng Fa's face, bringing bursts of coolness.

The mountain road is difficult to walk on, but they are all practitioners, so it is not a big deal.

Tang Lingwu and the other two seemed to know that he just wanted to take a walk, so they didn't say much.

Although they were silent along the way, Zheng Fa's anxiety gradually subsided and he calmed down.

Xuanwei is about to change, the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor's intentions are unpredictable, and Haori Mountain is watching covetously.

Jiushan was weak, the old man was secretly worried, and Zheng Fa could not be calm either.

Fortunately, he has also become accustomed to treating the modern world as a temporary harbor - whether it is to rest for a few months or to be on the alert at any time, it is always a place for him to sort out his thoughts.

Tang Lingwu and the others seemed to have gotten used to it. They didn't know the details before, but now they knew that Zheng Fa had a foundation in "another world", so they naturally understood it more.

Although the four people did not use any magic, they were people who practiced cultivation and were agile. In less than half an hour, they stood at the top of the main peak of Hongshan.

Looking down, you can see the entire Hongshan Mountain.

“What a huge change…”

The old man sighed, with indelible pride in his tone.

Teacher Tian smiled and said, "That's Ling Wu's credit."

Tang Lingwu shook her head firmly: "It's all thanks to Zheng Fa."

Compared to when I first came to the nursing home, the scenery here is completely different:

At that time, although Hongshan was close to the capital, it was generally remote. There was only a small village at the foot of the mountain, and the rest was almost deserted.

Today, the original village is located where the buildings are scattered, almost forming a city.

In addition to the previous expressway, there are three new roads built in recent years. Vehicles come from all directions and converge at the foot of the mountain.

Between the roads are patches of medicinal fields and wheat fields.

In the city at the foot of the mountain, there are dormitories for the families of scientific researchers in the mountain.

In addition to these people, the headquarters of Jiushan Grain Company and Jiushan Pharmaceutical Company are also gathered here.

As each company becomes more and more important in the country, business is naturally busier and the population is growing.

Later, after Old Man Bai’s Jiushan Martial Arts School and other companies moved here, the core industries of the entire Hongshan Nursing Home were almost all concentrated at the foot of Hongshan Mountain.

A mountain is not famous for its height, but for the immortals living there. The number of residents at the foot of the mountain is increasing day by day. A new shopping mall was built last year, and I heard that business is good.

Team leader Yang once said with a smile: If we were not worried about disturbing Zheng Fa, Hongshan would probably be ranked second.

The four of them looked down the mountain, vaguely recalling the time when they first came to Hongshan. This place seemed quite deserted, and they felt a little excited for a moment.

"Mr. Hou told me that after the large-scale planting of Lingmai No. 4 this year, it will be able to meet the domestic market. More than one billion people will not only not go hungry, but will even be able to eat the best food." Teacher Tian looked at the wheat seedlings in the field and said, "He has not wanted to practice cultivation recently, and has devoted himself to this thing."

Zheng Fa also looked at the wheat fields. Among the wheat fields, there were scientific researchers from the nursing home who were recording and observing.

Teacher Tian continued, "At that time, we should focus on spiritual plants."

The current products of Jiushan Grain Company are actually not yet spiritual plants - although they have high nutritional value, large yields, and good taste, they cannot absorb spiritual energy and are not that beneficial to spiritual practice.

Of course, this is not because Zheng Fa cares about the world, the main reason is that the cultivation of spiritual plants is not going smoothly. He has no way to produce spiritual valleys... He can only produce some spiritual by-products.

But now, whether it is the Jiushan series of rice seeds, the Lingmai series of wheat seeds, or even various vegetable crops, the taste, yield and nutritional value are all very outstanding. If we continue to focus on this, we have reached the stage of diminishing marginal returns and the benefits are not great.

The old man nodded and said, "Come to think of it, I checked the data of the martial arts school. The physical fitness of the new students who enrolled in the past two years has improved significantly compared to the previous students."

The Jiushan Martial Arts School, which is in charge of Old Man Bai, is now responsible for the radio gymnastics in almost all primary, secondary and high schools across the country. What he said sounded very authoritative.

Tang Lingwu added: "The average life expectancy has increased rapidly in the past two years, but I heard from Team Leader Yang that medical expenses are decreasing."

Even Zheng Fa felt a little happy when he heard this:

These data can actually be summed up in two words: strong species.

There are actually two reasons:
Jiushan Grain Company nourishes various crops.

Promotion of radio gymnastics.

The old man stood there, suddenly put his hands on his waist, and said proudly: "Unconsciously, we have done a lot of things."

Although Zheng Fa never thought that he had great ambitions, after hearing this and looking at the slightly proud expressions on the faces of Old Man Bai and Tang Lingwu, he felt a little satisfied.

In other words, even though he had no intention of doing anything, many things were indeed changing because of him invisibly.

"Zheng Fa, when will our Hongshan Institute start recruiting students?" The old man mentioned another thing, "Every time I go to various universities, people will chase me and ask me."

Zheng Fa thought about it and hesitated for a moment:

"Wait until I become a god."

"Transformation into a spirit?" The old man said in bewilderment, "I haven't even formed the elixir yet, and you're going to transform into a spirit?"

Zheng Fa turned his head and looked at the three people. After these few years, Old Man Bai was still in the early stage of foundation building, while Teacher Tian was slightly better. He had surpassed him and had reached the middle stage of foundation building.

Even Tang Lingwu, who has the best talent, is stuck in the early stage of Golden Core.

Their cultivation was much slower than that of the disciples of the same aptitude in Jiushan Sect.

And it gets slower and slower as time goes by.

This is of course because Zheng Fa is not strong enough and the spiritual energy in Hongshan is not abundant.

On the other hand, there is also the factor that the modern world lacks various spiritual medicines and materials.

"Well, after I become a spirit, the spiritual energy of Hongshan will increase, and the graduate school can recruit new students. Teacher Bai, it won't be so difficult for you to practice."

Teacher Tian felt a little guilty when he heard this: "It was the research on spiritual medicine that held us back."

"Not only spiritual medicine, but also spiritual materials." The old man shook his head and said, "If there were spiritual materials, Ling Wu could also try to condense her own life magic weapon, and she wouldn't become slower and slower as she cultivated."

Zheng Fa looked at Tang Lingwu, feeling helpless.

The natal magic weapon is extremely important for the Jindan period. This is not only a matter of combat power, but it can also speed up a person's cultivation.

But Tang Lingwu didn't want to absorb the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Evil Qi in his Nascent Soul...

Especially after seeing that Zheng Fa was under increasing pressure these days, this usually obedient little girl became as stubborn as a bastard.

……

Of course, the Tiangang and Disha Qi stored in Zheng Fa's Nascent Soul is indeed not enough to supply the entire modern world - that is to say, the modern world must find a way to produce spiritual materials and medicines on its own.

Otherwise it is difficult to talk about development.

Again, for Zheng Fa, the modern world is his last trump card——

The development of the modern world is closely related to the Fusang wood fruit.

What's more, Zheng Fa has another delusion:
If the fight really goes to the end, even if the Nine Mountains Realm can't hold on, as long as he's not dead, then once he's trained a large number of monks in the modern world, I can still counterattack!
However, without magical materials and medicines, this delusion will probably be a long way off. It really is a delusion.

The four of them began to walk down the mountain. Teacher Tian seemed to see Zheng Fa's worry and said, "We have also found many similar species with the spiritual plant genes you mentioned before. The problem is... many species are specious, and some genes have disappeared in history."

"On the other hand, the environment, especially the spiritual energy, limits the cultivation of spiritual plants."

Zheng Fa nodded gently, understanding the difficulties faced by Teacher Tian and the others:
When it comes to cultivating spiritual plants, first of all, we have to find specific species, which is still a small problem.

On the other hand, the spiritual energy in the modern world is insufficient, especially outside Hongshan, where it can almost be said to be thin.

There are already few spiritual plants that can survive in this environment, and it is naturally even more difficult to select them through genetics or even search among various extinct species.

"The same is true for spiritual materials." The white old man at the side frowned and said, "According to your theory, spiritual materials are the influence of spiritual energy on ordinary particles over many years. The spiritual energy appeared too quickly."

This is a very insightful statement.

Whether it is spiritual medicine or spiritual materials, they seem to appear naturally in the Xuanwei Realm and do not require as much effort as Zheng Fa and others.

According to the theory of spiritual material decline summarized by Jiushan Sect, after the spiritual energy declines, the spiritual materials will degenerate into ordinary substances, and the spiritual medicines will naturally die.

But in the next era, when spiritual energy appears again, spiritual medicines and spiritual materials will naturally appear again:

The key point here is, of course, time.

An era in the Xuanwei Realm lasts for hundreds of thousands of years. This period of time is enough for all kinds of creatures to evolve for countless generations, and naturally all kinds of magical medicines will gradually appear.

The modern world is Hongshan, and spiritual energy has only appeared for about ten years at most.

If the situation in Xuanwei Realm was not tense, Zheng Fa would naturally be able to wait.

But he didn't dare to waste time - let alone the threat from Haori Mountain, he had not forgotten the Demon Ancestor and the Ancient Immortal.

"After the transformation into a spirit, if the spiritual energy of Hongshan increases, there may be some turning point." After thinking for a long time, Zheng Fa still didn't have many good ideas in his mind. He just comforted Teacher Tian, ​​and then he said:
"In fact, the research on spiritual root growth hormone has made some progress."

The old man was delighted: "Really?"

After all, he has the worst aptitude among the few people, and is also the most interested in spiritual root transformation.

The development of the spiritual medicine here is not progressing very fast, but Mu Qingyan is learning modern pharmacology very quickly. She is now working with her senior brother Gu Chang, and seems to have almost developed a drug called spiritual root growth hormone, and seems to be in the final experiments.

Of course, the same old saying applies: there is a lack of panaceas in modern times.

The old man immediately understood the problem. He looked at Zheng Fa with a look of disappointment: "Why don't you become an immortal in one day, or directly connect the two worlds and move all those spiritual medicines over here?"

Zheng Fa was also speechless:

I didn't kill Hao Rishan with one slap, is that because I don't want to?

……

It will be a long way to go to beat Hao Rishan to death, but in fact, Zheng Fa’s most important task in modern times this time is just one - to polish the "Huang Ting Jing".

The "Huangting Sutra" is not only related to Zheng Fa's transformation into a god, but more importantly, if he can further improve the "Huangting Sutra", he will spend less time on retreat and breakthrough in the future. In this way, he will have more time to deal with Haori Mountain.

On the other hand, now that Xiandai is restricted by spiritual energy, after he becomes a god, he will be able to give back to Xiandai better.

Therefore, the perfection of the "Huangting Jing" is of great importance.

In the lecture hall, Zheng Fa had a copy of the Huang Ting Jing spread out in front of his knees.

The "Huangting Sutra", after all, is a simulation of the human body, but it is more complicated than the Momen Method and Yangshen Method.

It would be extremely difficult for an ordinary Xuanwei cultivator to find a way to integrate the three methods, let alone create the current "Huangting Sutra", which is something to be proud of.

The current "Huangting Sutra" can be said to be shocking when placed in front of any Taoist fruit!
But Zheng Fa was not satisfied.

The "Huangting Sutra" comes from the Jiushan Sect's Transformation Ceremony, which integrates the three methods. It goes without saying that it is miraculous.

However, due to the limitations of the thinking and vision of the cultivators in the Xuanwei Realm, it is impossible to be perfect, and there may even be some fatal mistakes.

For Zheng Fa, the first purpose of lecturing on the Huangting Jing to these scholars in the lecture hall was naturally to absorb their views on the Huangting Jing.

Especially those scholars of human science, biology, and medicine.

In terms of various aspects of the human body, their understanding is even no worse than those of gods.

If you go deeper into the principles, they are even stronger.

Simply put, the "Huangting Jing" not only has to integrate the three methods, but even has to integrate the knowledge of the two worlds, and let science and metaphysics flourish together. Only in this way can it live up to the name given by Zheng Fa.

Another purpose, of course, is to train these disciples.

The Huangting Sutra has actually become a relatively complete cultivation system:

Build the foundation with the "Fu Dao Foundation Building Method".

Use the "Golden Elixir Project" to form the elixir.

The "Nine-Turn Golden Elixir Method" is used to condense the infant, combined with the "Transformations of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Evils".

All of them have been integrated into the Huangting Jing.

It can be said to go straight to the essence and has unparalleled changes.

He was dreaming of counterattacking with this group of scholars from the modern world, so naturally he would not be stingy with them. It could even be said that he was looking forward to what kind of surprises this group of the most powerful brains, coupled with the most profound skills, could bring him.

Zheng Fa was speaking on the stage.

Huntington and others in the audience listened slowly. Although their cultivation was not enough, they were not lacking in knowledge. Their insights into medical biology were even deeper than Zheng Fa's.

Therefore, many people can gain a deep understanding of the mysteries of the Huangting Jing after listening to it.

As they listened, the way they looked at Zheng Fa changed, and they were all filled with admiration - this immortal, his skills were truly taught by him!
Zheng Fa looked at them with satisfaction - these scholars really use their brains!

For a moment, both those who were listening to the sermon and those who were preaching the sermon felt that they had made a lot of money and it was a real win-win situation for both parties.

Because the Huangting Sutra was complex and profound, and Zheng Fa felt that time was limited and was afraid that he would not be able to finish it, he actually lectured for five consecutive days, with almost no breaks except for eating.

As the "Huangting Sutra" became more and more perfect day by day, Zheng Fa felt that his Nascent Soul was becoming more and more lively day by day, and he even felt a joy that seemed to be about to burst out of Dantian, and the spiritual energy around him was also agitated.

In a small town at the foot of the mountain.

"what is that?"

At the entrance of the mall, a man pointed at Hongshan and asked in surprise.

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger.

Then I saw a purple haze on the mountainside, like a belt, wrapped around the preaching hall, swaying up and down.

"New here, right?"

"Well, I came here to buy some goods."

"Then you don't know. This is a vision of an immortal preaching!" The man who answered was a local who was born and raised here for eight months. Seeing an outsider, he was inevitably a little arrogant. "My son told me that they have been listening to sermons in some preaching hall these days."

"These past few days, from morning till night, that place is filled with purple air. We are no longer surprised."

The middle-aged man nodded first, then looked at the old man with envy and asked, "Who is your son?"

"A nuclear engineer! I can do nothing but study!"

"Studying is good... Studying is good! Who doesn't know that Immortal Zheng likes to study?" The middle-aged man nodded, "When I go back, I will let my daughter study more. Maybe she can also enter Hongshan, and I can move here."

The old man smiled and said softly, "That's true. You envy us, but others envy you. I heard that it's much harder for people from abroad to come in than in China."

The middle-aged man nodded and laughed, "I know this. Take Lingmai for example. Although it is in great demand in China, it is still available. I heard that other countries have restricted exports. I have been trying to buy it for a long time, but I can't."

As they were talking, a car drove past the entrance of the shopping mall. Team leader Yang was sitting in the car with a document in his hand and a strange expression on his face.

"Dean!"

Seeing that Zheng Fa had finished his sermon, Team Leader Yang walked over quickly.

"Ok?"

"We found spiritual materials!"

Zheng Fa was stunned. Old Man Bai and several others gathered around him, looking surprised.

In the past few years, they have tried their best to obtain spiritual medicines and materials, but the gains are not much.

But Team Leader Yang suddenly brought good news.

"What spiritual material? How did you determine it?"

"Didn't we get a spiritual energy detector?" Team Leader Yang said with a smile, "The higher-ups are also thinking about looking for spiritual materials and medicines everywhere, and they even installed two on the submarine."

Zheng Fa also knew about this.

Spiritual energy detectors are actually widely used in the Nine Mountains Realm today, especially when prospecting, and their accuracy rate is quite high.

It is used to detect spiritual materials and is also considered a professional match.

"So you found it?"

"Yes! In the sea!" Team Leader Yang handed over a document and said with a smile, "Looking at the spiritual level, it seems to be only in the single digits, but this is the first spiritual material we have found!"

Zheng Fa looked at the data in the file with joy in his eyes.

It doesn’t matter if the spiritual level is low, as long as there is the process to transform spiritual materials, everything else is just a matter of cost - the key is that the modern world finally has the ability to produce spiritual materials independently.

At least there is hope for the natal magic weapon, magic tool, and even controllable nuclear devices like the Shenxiao Waidan.

"Where is this place?"

Team leader Yang's expression became even stranger. She turned a page of the document and pointed to a longitude and latitude.

"……foreign?"

"Well, it belongs to a remote island country."

Zheng Fa frowned slightly, but didn't care much. It was just a little troublesome.

The old man looked at the location and sighed: "If it's closer, we can look up ancient books and maybe we can find out that it has been there since ancient times, which would be a legitimate reason."

Team leader Yang's expression became more and more strange. She looked at the old man and laughed: "You and some people have the same idea."

"I'm kidding, is there really anyone who does this?"

"The stele has been carved! It says Zheng He visited there and conferred a title on the local king."

The old man was stunned. He blinked his eyes, as if he was measuring the distance, and then cursed: "This is too rough. If Zheng He wanted to go there, why didn't he just sail around the world?"

"..."

"How can people recognize this kind of story?"

Team leader Yang looked up, as if trying to hold back a laugh: "They made it up themselves. Why don't they recognize the stele that was just dug out yesterday?"
