Chapter 162: Chapter 62 Research Chapter 162: Chapter 62 Research For Zheng Fa, the ultimate purpose of cultivating the “Spirit Mountain Technique” was not for making money or achieving a high status, but for research.
It was not only about creating a spiritual energy environnt through the cultivation of the “Spirit Mountain Technique”.
Just considering the practice of the “Spirit Mountain Technique” itself, he also regarded it as a very important experint.
Zheng Fa felt as if he had beco one with Rainbow Mountain through two spirit talismans, forming a massive cycle.
The spiritual power in his dantian, following this mysterious connection, flowed into Rainbow Mountain, and from there through the veins of the mountain back into his dantian.
When departing, the spiritual power in his dantian had been condensed for a long ti and was extrely dense, like rcury.
And when this spiritual power returned to his dantian, it had transford into cloud mist, or rather, it had beco spiritual energy.
Zheng Fa carefully observed this phenonon.
For the people of the Xuanwei Realm, absorbing spiritual energy and converting it into spiritual power was a natural occurrence.
But Zheng Fa, who had received modern education, always asked one more question than the people of the Xuanwei Realm—why can spiritual energy transform into spiritual power?
What’s the difference between spiritual power and spiritual energy?
Actually, he already had a crude hypothesis, which could be expressed as:
Spiritual Power = Spiritual Energy Divine Soul motion trajectory determined by ridians
This wasn’t really a hypothesis, but rather a rough summary of his cultivation process—essentially, cultivation in the Xuanwei Realm involved absorbing spiritual energy, then leading it along certain ridians with the divine soul, and finally storing it inside the body.
This hypothesis wasn’t difficult itself, but Zheng Fa felt it was very important—if he could understand this, then he could essentially see through the nature of various cultivation techniques in the Xuanwei Realm.
Even to go a bit further, he could even say he was exploring the essence of cultivation.
And by further contemplating, Zheng Fa might even be able to create the most suitable cultivation technique for himself through this exploration of the essence—just like discovering that magnets generate electricity could lead to the attempt to build a generator.
Now, cultivating the Spirit Mountain Technique was a way to verify this hypothesis—by observing how his spiritual power transford back into spiritual energy, he could understand whether his ideas were partially correct.
To Zheng Fa’s surprise, the spiritual energy ford in his dantian indeed was no longer controlled by his divine soul and lacked the effortless sense of command.
That is to say, compared to spiritual power, spiritual energy lacked his divine soul, which sowhat verified his idea.
Even through the Spirit Mountain Technique, Zheng Fa could derive another equation:
Spiritual Energy = Spiritual Power – Divine Soul motion trajectory determined by spirit veins.
He opened his eyes, his gaze containing so joy.
Although it was just a small validation of a simple hypothesis, achieving such a result at the beginning of practicing the “Spirit Mountain Technique” made him quite pleased.
“What’s the matter?
Did it work?”
Seeing him smile, Old Man Bai quickly asked.
Whether Zheng Fa could successfully cultivate the “Spirit Mountain Technique” was a significant matter for both of them.
Zheng Fa’s eyes glead with a silver light as he looked around.
By analogy, in the “Spirit Mountain Technique,” Zheng Fa’s role was much like a power source, and the Rainbow Mountain range was like a large circuit board—responsible for converting spiritual power into spiritual energy.
He was currently at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation; the spiritual energy he could convert was extrely sparse, affecting only an area less than ten ters in radius.
This was also normal.
According to the records in the “Spirit Mountain Technique,” the spiritual energy environnt created at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation was only sufficient for a few people to cultivate, and at most, it could only cultivate up to the first level of Qi Cultivation…
But for now, for Old Man Bai and others at the beginner level, it was enough.
“Don’t you guys feel the change?”
Old Man Bai shook his head blankly, glancing around: “No change.”
“There is a change.” Tang Lingwu suddenly spoke: “My cellphone just lost its signal, and now it’s turned off.”
Zheng Fa was startled, and he also took out his own phone.
His phone screen was also black, as if so unknown malfunction had occurred.
He looked at Old Man Bai.
Old Man Bai was holding his cell phone, also shaking his head at him.
“Does spiritual energy interfere with electronic devices?”
Zheng Fa frowned and said.
“Not just interference; if it were rely interference, it would generally manifest as signal anomalies.” Old Man Bai shook his head and said, “This is a shutdown, like even the circuits inside due to the spiritual energy have encountered so problems.”
At this point, Zheng Fa recalled his previous doubts.
If it’s said that the mathematics developnt in the Xuanwei Realm seems a bit preposterous, it’s because it’s not intuitive enough.
Then electromagnetic induction itself is quite intuitive—especially for cultivators proficient in Thunder Skills.
Their sensing abilities are extrely strong, and they can also control a sufficient amount of electrical energy.
Even by coincidence, as long as they practice Thunder Skills near tals, they could also notice the magnetization phenonon of the tals.
Now, it seems it might still be the fault of the spiritual energy.
Thinking of this, Zheng Fa couldn’t help thinking of what Zhuang had said about spiritual energy being the poison of the world.
It unexpectedly fits sowhat uncannily.
Of course, even if the cultivators of the Xuanwei Realm noticed this phenonon, whether they would start an energy revolution—Zheng Fa also felt they wouldn’t.
Spiritual energy is too convenient.
“This matter, is also not bad.” Old Man Bai thought for a mont and said: “At least we don’t have to worry about soone using electronic devices to spy on us.”
Zheng Fa nodded, looking at Old Man Bai, who was brimming with anticipation, and knew the old man was getting impatient.
He went back to his own room and took out five books from his suitcase.
“Chi Xiao Technique,” “Green Water Spell,” “Chang Chun Skill,” “Geng tal Skill,” and “Yellow Earth Skills.”
These were all the beginner cultivation techniques available to disciples within the Jiushan Sect.
Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth—Zheng Fa had chosen one technique for each of the Five Elents.
The primary selection criterion was—safety!
To translate the most annotated, the most ticulous in cultivation techniques, it is difficult to go astray.
“This is?”
“Everyone, try one by one, and practice the one you can absorb the fastest.”
The reason for using such a clumsy thod is because he didn’t have the ans to asure Spirit Roots for Old Man Bai’s duo—this is the hardship of being a pioneering master in modern tis.
In so ways, modern tis are like an enhanced version of the decline of the Spiritual chanism in Xuanwei Realm.
No Spirit Plants.
No Spirit Stones.
Not to ntion all kinds of asures that have long been common in Xuanwei Realm.
On the other hand, starting from scratch and developing a small cultivation civilization allows Zheng Fa to gain a deeper understanding of the nature of the Immortal Dao.
Up to now, Zheng Fa still doesn’t know what exactly Spirit Roots are.
He has so of his own thoughts—the decisive factors in the process of transforming Spiritual Energy into Spiritual Power are two, the first, of course, is the Divine Soul, and the second is the trajectory of Spiritual Energy determined by the ridians.
That thing, Spirit Root, is probably related to this trajectory.
As for what the relationship is, Zheng Fa needs so additional evidence.
Old Man Bai and his peer exchanged glances and each picked a script.
Old Man Bai chose “Yellow Earth Skills.”
Tang Lingwu picked “Chang Chun Formulas.”
Both frowned as they flipped through the books.
These are Cultivation Techniques from Xuanwei Realm, sowhat difficult to comprehend for modern people.
So concepts in there are relatively foreign to most people.
“I’ll start teaching you, it’s always hard at the beginning.”
Zheng Fa had foreseen these issues; he approached them, took the two books, and began guiding their cultivation.
Fortunately, compared to others, both had practiced “Spiritual Crane Body,” providing them so foundation.
But so terminologies within this cultivation technique also needed slow explanations from Zheng Fa.
Zheng Fa, fearing their initial practice might encounter issues, explained both books very patiently.
To his surprise—Old Man Bai seed quite adept.
Many terminologies—like ridians, ditation, and diaphragmatic breathing—were quite familiar to him.
“Am I being dumb?”
Tang Lingwu looked at Zheng Fa with a sowhat disheartened gaze.
Zheng Fa shook his head, also puzzled—Tang Lingwu certainly wasn’t dumb; his own initial learning didn’t outperform hers by much.
He looked at Old Man Bai, his eyes filled with deep thought.
“What have you been reading recently?”
“Cough.” Old Man Bai scratched his head, slightly embarrassed about being discovered: “Just read a few Daoist scriptures.”
Tang Lingwu’s look at Old Man Bai changed, slightly resembling how Wang Chen used to look at Zheng Fa—You’re surprisingly diligent!
…
When it ca to actual cultivation, Zheng Fa beca even more certain—this old man had practiced before!
His posture in ditative sitting was extrely standard.
He entered the cultivation state much faster than Tang Lingwu.
This inevitably made Tang Lingwu slightly anxious.
Old Man Bai was sowhat embarrassed and comforted Tang Lingwu: “When I’ve mastered it, I’ll share the tricks with you!”
Zheng Fa’s strategy was to have both try five different cultivation techniques.
Then use “Void Spirit Eye” to observe their speed of absorbing Spiritual Energy.
Thereby picking out the technique they cultivated the fastest.
To Zheng Fa’s relief, both could successfully absorb Spiritual Energy.
This indicated that both of them possessed what’s called Spirit Roots.
But to Zheng Fa, the issue of Spirit Roots wasn’t about having or not, but rather the quality.
After testing around, he found that Old Man Bai was most compatible with “Yellow Earth Skills,” aning he absorbed the most Spiritual Energy when practicing it.
And Tang Lingwu, she had a good initial pick, “Chang Chun Skill” was extrely suitable for her constitution.
Really extrely suitable…
Seeing Tang Lingwu’s speed in absorbing Spiritual Energy, Zheng Fa aningfully glanced at Old Man Bai—He presud Tang Lingwu’s speed was that of soone with a Single Spirit Root.
That is to say, she was a genius!
The two gradually imrsed in cultivation, Zheng Fa watched closely, also afraid the two beginners might encounter any issues.
After a while, Old Man Bai slowly opened his eyes and excitedly said to Zheng Fa: “Zheng Fa, I cultivate ‘Yellow Earth Skills’ indeed faster than the other four techniques!
I feel like I’ve already cultivated a trace of Spiritual Energy.”
Zheng Fa placed his finger on his lips, signaling him to look at Tang Lingwu.
Tang Lingwu currently had a small vortex of Spiritual Energy above her head, as if advancing.
Old Man Bai was stunned, looking at Tang Lingwu, his expression very similar to how Wang Chen now looked at Zheng Fa—Why the difference?
…
Xuanwei Realm.
Zheng Fa had just written his various thoughts on cultivating “Spirit Mountain Technique” on paper.
Suddenly, Senior Sister Yuan burst in.
“Junior Brother Zheng!” Her face was panicked: “Junior Master Huang sent a ssage, Chang Chun Sect has been annihilated, Senior Sister Zhang is missing, the other disciples ambushed!”
