Seeing Old Man Bai mumbling incomprehensibly about things like "don’t bully the elderly and poor," the air in the nursing ho suddenly filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Zheng Fa lightly tapped his right index finger on the vine chair, knowing that these people were deliberately trying to make him happy, and shook his head, saying:
"This Fusang Wood seems to have spiritual wisdom, but it would be better if it didn’t."
"Last ti, when I communicated with it, although I couldn’t understand what it was expressing, the interaction was sowhat harmonious. Next ti, it acted as if it didn’t recognize ."
"Forgetful?"
"Hmm." Zheng Fa nodded, "That’s not all, but it seems to be sowhat schizophrenic."
"Schizophrenic?"
"At tis, the mind of this Fusang Wood seems like a peerless demon, shouting and threatening to kill ."
"Sotis this thing acts like an enlightened master, with profound aura, claiming it wants to illuminate , but it’s a complete lunatic itself!"
Everyone listened silently, being illuminated by a lunatic—isn’t that like seeing a doctor for baldness, only to find the doctor has a diterranean haircut?
The situation with Fusang Wood is sowhat different from the Immortal Trapping Sword.
The Immortal Trapping Sword may seem crazy, but it can still communicate, and its consciousness is relatively clear—in simple terms, it knows it has a problem.
With Fusang Wood, Zheng Fa doubts whether it knows what it’s doing.
"Yet this thing has a very high status, and after prolonged contact, it greatly affects . Even my Divine Soul feels torn."
"Then what to do?"
Old Man Bai couldn’t help but look at Mrs. Tian, after all, Fusang Wood seems to fall under the plant category, and here Mrs. Tian is the expert in this field.
However, Mrs. Tian frowned, seemingly finding Fusang Wood quite troubleso as well.
Zheng Fa discovered this problem in the Xuanwei Realm, and even Shuyu Dragon Lord didn’t have a good solution, since Fusang Wood’s essence is stronger than Shuyu Dragon Lord.
Zheng Fa was at the nursing ho, Gesang, hoping to change the experintal environnt, control variables, and see if spiritual communication could be effective.
It now seems unlikely.
"Mrs. Tian, I have a thought."
Before Mrs. Tian could speak, Zheng Fa proposed an idea.
"Hmm?"
"I’m thinking, treating Fusang Wood as a regular plant, might it have an effect?"
"Regular plant?"
"Yes, Fusang Wood is a Spirit Root, has spiritual wisdom, but currently, it seems better off without."
"Are you suggesting exploring the biological instincts of Fusang Wood?"
Zheng Fa lightly nodded, "Just like humans have unconscious subconscious minds, Fusang Wood’s surface consciousness is chaotic, but as a plant, these instincts should still exist, otherwise it wouldn’t be considered a living organism."
Mrs. Tian’s eyes brightened, "That does allow us to bypass the Divine Soul to study Fusang Wood’s circumstances—even many plant-consciousness-related experints can be attempted."
"I lack sufficient understanding in plant experints, I entrust this aspect to Mrs. Tian and the Agricultural College."
Watching Mrs. Tian and several botanists from the Agricultural College nod, Zheng Fa then looked at the Fusang Wood beside him—
If mysticism confuses you, I understand a bit of science, too.
...
In the Preaching Hall, Zheng Fa sat on stage, preaching once again.
The preacher was still him, but the audience had changed considerably.
The first batch of scholars who listened have already been sent all over the world to Spirit Veins to oversee laboratories.
While those who remained in the Preaching Hall were newly recruited students over the years. Although the people changed, the gazes they directed at Zheng Fa beca even more fervent.
Over the years, the trend of cultivation has intensified, and the institute gradually influences various industries. Although Zheng Fa seldom leaves Rainbow Mountain, his status becos increasingly unreachable.
The recent batches of students have grown up hearing Zheng Fa’s na, worshiping him as a deity.
Considerably more fervent than the previous scholars.
While preaching the Yellow Court Scripture, Zheng Fa felt the thoughts of these people, sowhat helplessly—this wasn’t intentional by him, nor did he feel very good about it, yet the influence accumulated over ti was beyond his control.
In fact, the purpose of his preaching, besides nurturing students, was more about perfecting the Yellow Court Scripture.
Over the years, alterations to the Yellow Court Scripture have been in the millions, and even the major version iterations numbered in the thousands.
Without such changes, Shuyu Dragon Lord wouldn’t be awestruck upon seeing it.
In this lecture, the Preaching Hall had more people and equipnt than usual.
Fusang Wood stood beside Zheng Fa, with various detecting devices on stage.
The simplest ones were temperature sensors, optical sensors, and so on.
Also, there were devices for collecting air composition, Spiritual Energy asuring Devices.
Even caras to record talismanic diagram changes around Fusang Wood...
All sorts of equipnt, over a hundred types, surrounded Fusang Wood, capturing any changes in this Spirit Root.
This was one of many experints on Fusang Wood, and the most promising one.
Data and materials collected here, after processing in the lab, would be sent to the cave behind Rainbow Mountain.
In the cave behind Rainbow Mountain, Tang Lingwu watched the dozens of screens before her and asked a staff mber beside her, "Are there any results?"
"Yes, Heluo has provided the analysis."
Tang Lingwu lightly nodded.
Heluo is the institute’s own designed supercomputer—using the outer elixir as energy, based on the Nine Chapters Calculation Talisman for its core code, even the operating system was self-written.
Even various key components were converted from spiritual materials within the institute.
This way, compared to the previous supercomputers, Heluo possesses strong analytical abilities for Immortal Dao knowledge, with computational performance far superior.
Currently, Zheng Fa can even preach while waiting for Tang Lingwu to provide real-ti analysis from the back mountain.
The Heluo supercomputer wasn’t a task set by Zheng Fa, but rather a project Tang Lingwu undertook with her team.
The Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array from Xuanwei, the modern Heluo supercomputer, though both based on the Nine Chapters Calculation Talisman, are actually quite different—one leans more towards arrays, while the other builds on modern supercomputer architecture, even excelling in different directions distinctly.
Though the foundational knowledge between the modern world and the Jiushan Realm is getting closer, because of the different people involved, they ultimately bloom into rather different flowers.
Zheng Fa is pleased, as if both sides were identical, there would be no need for the existence of the Federation Research Institute in the modern world.
Tang Lingwu tapped her finger on the screen, examining the analysis docunt.
"Fusang Wood perceives changes in the environnt and the appearance of life forms."
"But its reaction is most intense when the director is preaching."
Tang Lingwu paused, looking at a graph beside her.
Just as the docunt described, when Zheng Fa was explaining the Yellow Court Scripture, Fusang Wood had the strongest reaction:
Temperature curves fluctuated sharply, forming steep peaks.
Alongside, the optical sensors recorded similar events.
Tang Lingwu turned the records, starting to relay to Zheng Fa.
"When you were explaining the Red Cloud Jade Book, Fusang Wood was most active, and its changes were most regular."
In the Preaching Hall, Zheng Fa nodded lightly.
This indeed aligns with expectations.
As Fusang Wood and Haori Mountain are closely related, the Red Cloud Jade Book being the foundational cultivation technique of Haori Mountain.
Its reactions to this are quite normal.
"Also, whenever you perform yang-type spells, especially the Fire Technique, it also reacts."
This was not unexpected.
Fusang Wood is inherently a Supre Yang Spirit Root, adept with Fire Technique.
Zheng Fa felt slightly disappointed—not for lack of results, but the results at first glance seed not to aid in rging with Fusang Wood.
Then, Tang Lingwu’s transmission seed puzzled: "Apart from this, there’s quite an unusual phenonon."
"What is it?"
"It seems to react especially strongly to a few words, stronger than any other ti."
"A few words?"
Zheng Fa’s spirit lifted, quickly asking: "Which words?"
"Lu."
"Lu..."
Zheng Fa furrowed his brow, is this related to Lu Yao?
"Nine."
"Nine..."
"Luminary."
"Luminary?"
Zheng Fa suddenly paused, and looked at Fusang Wood, "Nine Luminaries Heaven."
"Fusang Wood is reacting—no, it is reacting very strongly!"
In the transmission, Tang Lingwu’s voice was very excited.
"I see it."
Beside Zheng Fa, Fusang Wood suddenly shone brightly, branches swaying, surging upward, nearly bursting through the Preaching Hall’s roof, seemingly about to fly away.
