Chapter 495: Shinto flaws, transcendence

Root growth hormone.

This is the name given by the people from the Institute of Agriculture to the active ingredient in the green solution.

"From human experiments, a solution of spiritual root growth hormone with a concentration of 10.8% can maximize the growth of corresponding nerves." Tang Lingwu said to everyone, holding the experimental report like a little secretary.

The old man in white sat aside, pursing his lips, listening to every word.

Zheng Fa was also flipping through the lab report, reading slowly: "Extracted from the mixture of star-shaped sunflower and star-shaped branch..."

"It acts on scar cells and provides the right environment for nerve growth."

"Among the ten people, eight of them had their spiritual roots and nerves grow by more than 100%, and the remaining two grew by more than 80%."

"..."

"Where's the yield?"

Zheng Fa turned and asked Teacher Tian.

"The yield is very low." Teacher Tian shook his head and said, "We cultivated these two spiritual plants with great difficulty, and they are not high-yielding in themselves."

"Maybe it's because of the year. The amount of spiritual root growth hormone that can be extracted is not much."

Although he was a little disappointed, Zheng Fa was not too depressed.

"Since the yield is low, we can continue to cultivate new varieties." Teacher Zheng Fachaotian said, "We are recruiting graduate students this time to introduce talents to the Institute of Agriculture."

"This elixir is a breakthrough from zero to one."

When he said this, Zheng Fa's tone was filled with uncontrollable excitement.

The emergence of spiritual root growth hormone is unprecedented both in modern times and in Xuanwei, and it is of great significance to Zheng Fa.

If we can find the root growth hormone, we will win.

As for the production capacity of this thing...

He opened his doors wide and recruited so many talented people. It must be that he thought there were not enough people in the nursing home and wanted to take care of them.

Zheng Fa looked around and saw the old man looking at him eagerly. He knew he was anxious, but after a slight hesitation, he still spoke:

"Find Team Leader Yang again and do two rounds of human experiments with a larger sample size to see if there are any side effects."

The old man was stunned for a moment, raised the corner of his mouth, and said nothing.

……

The experimental results have not yet come out, but the institute's entrance examination is already approaching.

Zheng Fa brought Tang Lingwu to the capital, looking at a junior high school.

This junior high school is one of the test sites for this examination.

The whole street was very quiet. Three police cars were parked at the door and four yellow roadblocks were erected at both ends of the road.

In order to prevent any accidents, several martial arts school disciples were waiting downstairs of the teaching building.

The exam officially starts at nine o'clock, but many people arrive before seven o'clock.

These candidates are of both old and young.

Some of them were standing at the door in a daze, while others were holding reference materials and muttering to themselves.

There were also some people, not sure whether they were carefree or overconfident, who gathered together and talked and laughed in low voices.

This scene made Zheng Fa feel inexplicably familiar, and he turned to look at Tang Lingwu.

The spinning hem of the cheongsam came to my mind again.

Tang Lingwu seemed to notice his gaze and looked up at him.

Suddenly he opened his arms and stood on tiptoe.

The skirt is fluttering.

Just like yesterday.

Although the two used secret methods to cover their faces, several candidates passing by on the street corner were still stunned.

Even though there are no ugly women in the immortal world, the beauties he saw in the Xuanwei Realm were as numerous as the fish that cross the river, but the Tang Lingwu in front of him still made Zheng Faqing unable to help but be dazzled.

……

There are actually not many places for admission in this exam:

There are only 10,000 in total, half of which are reserved for the Institute of Agriculture and the Institute of Pharmacy.

Firstly, the main purpose of this recruitment is to plant and develop various spiritual medicines.

Secondly, Zheng Fa had long realized that when spiritual energy was relatively abundant, spiritual materials and spiritual medicines were the foundation of spiritual civilization.

If you don’t develop this, everything else will be hindered.

Apart from anything else, the talisman paper required to make the talisman requires a kind of spiritual bamboo.

This kind of spiritual bamboo is extremely abundant in Xuanwei and is not even worth much.

But it has not been discovered in modern times.

Therefore, there is no talisman at all in Hongshan.

Needless to say, there are things like refining equipment, refining elixirs, and formations.

There are 10,000 places available and the competition is extremely fierce.

Not everyone can take the exam. In the past six months, Team Leader Yang has already done a screening:
To put it simply, there were several preliminary exams, covering knowledge in various subjects at the university level.

Anyone who wants to take this round of exams must pass at least one preliminary exam.

This is mainly because Zhengfa does not have any age restrictions for candidates. Not to mention 35, even those over 60 and capable can take the exam.

It can almost be said to be a national examination.

Because there are too many people, we have to select in advance.

Even so, the number of candidates who entered the final examination exceeded 10 million.

More importantly, this exam was too important for Zheng Fa to trust others:
Even though he has been cooperating well with the authorities, he doesn't think that everyone will behave themselves in the face of the temptation of becoming an immortal.

Transfer the martial arts school disciples here.

Even Zheng Fa and Tang Lingwu came here to inspect in person, all for two words -

fair.

……

The exam is two months away.

The old man, carrying a book, walked out of the nursing home, toward the back of Hongshan, entered the square courtyard, and turned into a room.

Inside the room, there were densely packed students of all ages sitting.

His face looked dazed and he almost thought he had returned to fifty years ago.

He walked up to the podium, regained his composure, gently placed the book in his hand on the table, and said with a smile:
"Hello, students."

"First of all, congratulations on becoming the first batch of graduate students at the Confederation Institute."

He paused, looking at the commotion among the students in the audience, all of them feeling a little proud.

"For the next two years, you will study the basics of the immortal way at Hongshan Headquarters."

"And I am your professor of Fu Dao. My last name is Bai, and you can call me Teacher Bai."

After that, the old man pointed to the book in front of him and said with a smile: "The first name on the cover of this book "Character Topology" is me."

There was a sudden silence below the podium.

Looking at the awed expressions of these people, the old man suddenly added:

"Oh, by the way, I have dual spiritual roots."

……

"Where is Zheng Fa?"

Nishang Yuanjun suddenly asked Master Qian, but her eyes were on Senior Sister Zhang beside her.

Some time ago, Zheng Fa would come to him from time to time to discuss some matters related to the three-party cooperation with her.

He has rarely appeared in the past two months.

Instead, it was Master Zhang who came from time to time to fulfill his duties as a host.

Senior Sister Zhang did not hide it: "Junior brother has reached a critical juncture in his research and is unable to spare time. I hope Yuanjun will bear with me."

Nishang Yuanjun shook her head. She understood that this Master Zhang had a special identity. She didn't feel that she was being treated badly. She was just curious about what Zheng Fa was doing, so she asked:

"Research project?" As soon as she said that, she realized that she had said something wrong and said, "I was abrupt."

Senior Sister Zhang smiled: "This matter also has the power of Yao Chi."

"Oh?"

"If it weren't for the few spiritual plants you gave us, this research would probably take a long time."

Nishang Yuanjun was even more curious, but she didn't say anything more. She just sighed, "It's not worth anything."

"The cooperation has not been finalized yet, but Yuan Jun has given us several spiritual plants in advance. I, Jiushan, will always remember this."

Senior Sister Zhang said seriously.

Qian Zhenren standing beside him also nodded.

Nishang Yuanjun was extremely generous. Although the matter of the trade route had not been completely settled, she also took out several spiritual plants that could repair spiritual roots. This allowed the Jiushan Sect to make a major breakthrough in its spiritual root transformation technology.

Unexpectedly, Nishang Yuanjun smiled awkwardly, and her expression was a little depressed: "I actually have some selfish motives."

Senior Sister Zhang didn't say anything, but just looked at Nishang Yuanjun, as if she had expected it.

"You may have guessed it. There are some disagreements in Yaochi about this matter."

Senior Sister Zhang nodded slightly and said:

"It hasn't been finalized in the past few months, we will find out when we wait... I didn't expect the internal fighting in Yao Chi to reach this point."

Nishang Yuanjun sighed: "I knew I couldn't hide it from you."

Master Qian was stunned and said, "This is obviously a good thing for Yao Chi, why are there still disagreements?"

"It's a good thing for Yao Chi, but not for some people."

Nishang Yuanjun was silent for a moment, then she gritted her teeth and revealed some of the truth:

"Master Zhang, I dare say that I am willing to cooperate with your sect. Those spiritual plants are my sincerity."

"But now Yaochi has already fallen into chaos. Even if I am willing, there is nothing I can do."

Senior Sister Zhang understood.

If Nishang Yuanjun cannot represent Yaochi, then she will become the weakest party in the three-party cooperation.

No wonder his posture is much lower than before.

It can even be said that she seemed to regard this trade route as her life-saving straw.

Looking at the slightly nervous Nishang Yuanjun, Senior Sister Zhang suddenly laughed: "Junior brother said this."

"Ok?"

"My junior brother said that Yuan Jun has helped my Jiushan Sect a lot and is a friend of my Jiushan Sect." "..."

How could Nishang Yuanjun have imagined that Zheng Fa made a vague promise without even fully understanding the inner workings of Yaochi.

But Senior Sister Zhang understood that Zheng Fa was not impulsive.

Now it seems that if Yao Chi has factions, then Nishang's faction is relatively friendly to Jiushan Sect.

It’s hard to say about the other faction.

Not to mention that the trade route also brings many benefits to the Jiushan Sect.

With some deductions done by Senior Sister Zhang, Zheng Fa and she came up with the idea of ​​supporting Nishang Yuanjun.

Nishang Yuanjun's expression changed from time to time, and suddenly she laughed at herself and said, "I thought I was here to help you."

"Who would have thought that..."

Senior Sister Zhang also smiled.

In terms of strength, Nishang Yuanjun is not inferior to Jiushan Sect.

But unfortunately, the East-West Continent trade route is of great significance to Yao Chi.

Now that it came to this, Nishang Yuanjun was frank and said something that the Yaochi disciples didn't know: "In fact, this time I came to Dongzhou, I also wanted to seek help from the Supreme Dao."

"Ask for help?"

Senior Sister Zhang was slightly startled. She didn't expect that Nishang Yuanjun would even say these two words. It seemed that the situation in Yao Chi was not good.

"Speaking of which, this is actually a question about the foundations of Shintoism."

"Shinto……"

"Your Jiushan Sect is also practicing the way of God now." Nishang Yuanjun didn't know the secret of the Huangting Sutra, so she naturally misunderstood. She said, "I'm afraid there will be this trouble in the future."

"When I was weak, the way of God was a ladder to heaven, but now it is a cage for me."

"Cage?"

"A cultivator of the Dao Fruit of the Divine Way will eventually be controlled by worldly thoughts." There was a hint of despair in Nishang Yuanjun's tone, "It is impossible to transcend."

Senior Sister Zhang understood clearly in her heart that if it weren't for the transformation of the Three Pure Ones into one, her junior brother would not have been able to escape this disaster.

She understood Nishang Yuanjun's despair.

Even if at the beginning, the cultivator will be addicted to the speed of Shinto practice, he will eventually end up like the Heavenly Lord.

Even if this were not the case, as a Dao Fruit cultivator, he was constrained by the mundane world and rarely had freedom.

"Although I have various secret methods to suppress this desire for incense, I cannot escape from the way of gods."

"The way of heaven is like this, one drink and one peck."

Senior Sister Zhang shook her head.

"That's right. When we were weak, we were able to gain infinite benefits from the way of God. Now we should also have such restrictions. However... I am unwilling to do so."

Senior Sister Zhang nodded.

This is human nature.

The Xuanwei Immortal Way has always been to reduce what is insufficient and make up for what is in excess.

Shintoism, however, is a rare case. It takes from the rich and gives to the poor - it almost turns Shinto monks into secular servants.

It’s okay when the monk is weak.

It is naturally unbearable for a true immortal like Nishang Yuanjun.

"In fact, if it were just that, there wouldn't be any internal fighting in Yao Chi." Nishang Yuanjun added, "But the Divine Dao cultivators are on the verge of losing me every day."

Senior Sister Zhang couldn't help but look at Nishang Yuanjun curiously, as if she thought she was quite normal.

"I, Yao Chi, have been able to stand for so many years, so I must have my own secret method, which is stronger than that of ordinary Shinto practitioners."

"But it's still inevitable that people will take advantage of you."

Senior Sister Zhang narrowed her eyes: "Leiyin Temple?"

Nishang Yuanjun nodded slightly.

"There are now two true immortals living in my Yao Chi, one is me and the other is a goddess."

"Goddess?"

"Goddess of Heaven." Nishang Yuanjun whispered, "So, her title is the Goddess of Hundred Flowers..."

"So?" Senior Sister Zhang felt it was getting weirder.

"Now she calls herself...the Goddess of Bliss."

……

"Blissful Goddess?"

Zheng Fa walked out of the courtyard and looked at Mu Qingyan and Gu Chang who were making preparations. He was also a little curious:
"What does this title mean?"

Senior Sister Zhang's expression was also a little strange: "According to Nishang Yuanjun, this was changed by her followers themselves."

"..."

Zheng Fa was confused for a moment, then immediately understood: "Is there something wrong with her followers?"

"Yes, I heard that the Leiyin Temple used some method to bewitch all living beings, and they turned the Hundred Flowers Fairy into the Bliss Fairy. From then on, the Bliss Fairy began to respect the Leiyin Temple."

"She was the one who opposed the three collaborations this time."

Zheng Fa also felt a toothache after hearing this.

Can you still do this?
Zheng Fa also understood that this was a kind of loss of self.

But the Leiyin Temple is so sassy that, with the help of the power of incense, it changed the personality of a Taoist monk from bottom to top...

This was extremely difficult, and Zheng Fa couldn't figure out how it was done.

No wonder Nishang Yuanjun is so desperate about the Shinto law.

In fact, when Zheng Fa heard that Shinto was a cage, he didn't take it seriously.

Shinto is a relatively strict system, and Nishang Yuanjun is actually a beneficiary of this system.

You can't just think that this thing is bad after you become powerful, like picking up the bowl to eat and putting it down to curse your mother when you get home.

But after hearing about what happened to the goddess of bliss, Zheng Fa also felt a lingering fear and was puzzled:
Leiyin Temple is doing this and that, what is Taishang Dao doing?
He shook his head, shook off the distracting thoughts in his mind, and asked again: "After such a catastrophe, is it possible that the goddess of bliss is stronger than the colorful lady?"

"Not at the beginning, but with Leiyin Temple behind her, Nishang Yuanjun had no choice." Senior Sister Zhang explained, "But now, Nishang Yuanjun is indeed at a disadvantage."

"Ok?"

"The followers of the Bliss Goddess are now extremely fanatical. As Lord Nishang said, the Bliss Goddess seems to have some special elixir that can make all her followers fall into a state of bliss."

"..."

"With the help of Leiyin Temple, the power of the goddess of bliss is getting stronger and stronger. If she wasn't afraid of the Yaochi jellyfish, Yaochi would have been turned upside down long ago."

"Yaochi jellyfish?"

"The founder of Yao Chi must have at least the cultivation level of a Golden Immortal."

Zheng Fa was pondering the news brought by Senior Sister Zhang.

To put it bluntly, Shinto requires believers to have faith in you.

Believers are not stupid. There must be some benefits for them to believe in you. At least they want to be happy and live a stable life.

Traditional Shinto monks, including Zheng Fa, are relatively honest: they want to bring real benefits to believers.

But the Goddess of Bliss has a bug.

That elixir sounds fishy.

But it really works.

It may even be the most powerful fighting style...

"Brother? How do we deal with this?"

Zheng Fa knew what his senior sister was asking.

No wonder Nishang Yuanjun listened to the words of Taishang Dao so much. She came as soon as Master Xuanding sent the message.

Obviously there is no other way, so I want to ask for help from the Supreme Dao.

Now that she saw the value of the East-West Continent trade route, especially its value to her, she was so excited that she even took out elixirs to show her goodwill.

"We have to cooperate..." Zheng Fas thought about it and became more cautious about Leiyin Temple. "This nail has value if it is placed in Xizhou."

To tell you the truth, if Yao Chi is really destroyed by Leiyin Temple, then the one facing Leiyin Temple directly is the Hundred Immortals Alliance.

It’s better to let Yao Chi take charge.

"That Shinto method..." Senior Sister Zhang frowned, "No wonder it has declined."

The flaws of Shinto law were clearly revealed in the incident of the Goddess of Bliss.

And Yao Chi is the leader of Shinto magic. Their true immortals are all like this. One can imagine how difficult it is for other Shinto practitioners to practice.

"Senior sister." Zheng Fa looked at Gu Chang and Mu Qingyan who came over, and saw the excitement on Gu Chang's face, and said softly, "Since the Huangting Sutra, we have embarked on a new path that has never been taken before."

"Shinto Law, or Yangshen, Dharmakaya, or even Tianhe Law... Which one of them is perfect?"

Senior Sister Zhang also understood what Zheng Fa meant.

If there weren't these problems, I'm afraid the Jiushan Sect wouldn't be what it is today.

"The innovation of Xuanwei Divine Dao may have to start from my Jiushan Sect." Zheng Fa pointed his finger at Gu Chang, "Start with him."

"Gu Chang, are you ready?"

Gu Changli stood in front of Zheng Fa.

Mu Qingyan handed him a bottle of spiritual root growth hormone.

Gu Chang opened the bottle stopper, drank the solution in the bottle, knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said nothing.

Zheng Fa smiled gently, stretched out his hand and placed it on Gu Chang's head.

Thunder flashed.

……

Ten days later, in the Nine Mountains Realm, the Sun and Moon Bells suddenly roared.

Billions of living beings in heaven and on earth looked up.

A golden crow was pulling a divine chariot, and a purple divine man was sitting on the chariot, with the Sun and Moon Clock in his hand trembling slightly.

This divine being is naturally Zheng Fa's yang divine body.

As the sound of the bell gradually died down, Zheng Fa pointed at the Sun and Moon Bell and spoke in a voice even louder than the one that had just resounded through the heavens and the earth:
"From today on, the Nine Mountain Realm will have a Transcendent Spirit Cleansing Pool!"

As soon as he finished speaking, tens of thousands of thunders fell from the Sun and Moon Bell and condensed into a pool of thunder!

Some disciples of the Nine Mountains naturally remembered that this Thunder Pool was originally the magical power of the Sun and Moon Bell, and its power could even suppress the God Transformation.

But now, for some unknown reason, this thunder pool has fallen into the realm.

It is also called the Transcendental Spirit Cleansing Pool by the Sect Leader.
