Capítulo 807: Chapter 362: Half a Paper, One Path to Ruin (Part 3)
The difficulty of the Spirit Root issue lies in its elusive nature, making it hard to comprehend, let alone experint or improve.
Gu Chang’s half-written thesis can be considered a groundbreaking achievent in the field of Spirit Root research!
Moreover, for Zheng Fa, the Spirit Root issue is extrely important:
Since his strength is insufficient, to spread his teachings in modern tis, the first obstacle he must confront is the Spirit Root.
In fact, for the Jiushan Realm, without solving the Spirit Root issue, the current reform is like duckweed in water, lacking fundantal support. It looks fine with Zheng Fa, but without him, everything might vanish without a trace.
The so-called material foundation determines the superstructure.
The Spirit Root is the greatest material foundation for a cultivator.
Gu Chang’s thesis is imnsely significant to Zheng Fa, no matter how much one emphasizes it.
“According to his analysis, nerves with the sa structure as the Gold Elent Child Talisman mostly gather in the lungs, while the Water Elent Talisman is mostly in the kidneys… Five Elents and Five Organs?” Zhang remarked in surprise, “This is an excellent piece of evidence.”
The Five Elents and Five Organs theory is relatively simple to explain.
Previously, Mystic Micro Cultivators discovered that people with strong lungs typically possess the Gold Elent Spirit Root, and there’s a close connection between the kidneys and the Water Elent. Similar theories apply to the heart belonging to fire, liver belonging to wood, etc.
People knew about this phenonon before, but couldn’t explain why.
Now, using Gu Chang’s theory, it’s explained very comprehensively.
Therefore, Zhang said it serves as evidence.
This thesis even includes so very reasonable propositions:
Why does everyone possess Five Elents Spirit Roots? Because certain nerves are essential in the human body, and these nerves correspond to the Five Elents Child Talisman, relatively evenly distributed.
But for so individuals, certain nerves are more nurous and dense, far beyond the average, exhibited as Dual Spirit Roots or even Single Spirit Roots.
There are also nurous deductions forming a relatively complete theoretical system.
Zhang gently placed the thesis down, speaking with a tone of admiration:
“Gu Chang infused many latest insights from the Xuanwei Realm into this thesis, it’s not easy.”
Zheng Fa nodded lightly.
Not ntioning anything else, this knowledge related to the nervous system was introduced into the Jiushan Realm on a large scale after Zheng Fa grasped the essence of the Red Cloud Jade Book and the Yang God.
So theories haven’t even entered the curriculum yet, only ntioned in the “Immortal Dao.”
Yet Gu Chang has already fully grasped it, even started innovating.
It’s indeed not easy.
Zhang repeated the phrase:
“… It’s a pity.”
Upon hearing this, Zheng Fa gazed at the night sky overhead, silent.
“Such a good disciple, yet wasted.”
The two now sowhat understood why Gu Chang refused to beco a disciple of other elders and said this thesis couldn’t be finished.
Earlier ntioned was only theoretical knowledge, completely lacking experintal data.
Or rather, could only be regarded as speculation.
For others, perhaps they would stop here.
But unexpectedly, Gu Chang was a madman—to verify his theory, he wanted to conduct experints, human experints.
With his cultivation, ability, and financial ans, finding a test subject was virtually impossible.
But Gu Chang had another choice: himself!
“Damaging specific nerves of his own body, then asuring the change in Spirit Root…” Zheng Fa’s tone carried a hint of lancholy, “How stubborn, how resolute.”
Zhang gently nodded: “Even though spiritual dicine can restore, Gu Chang’s Taoist Body is now damaged, and the future is a dead end.”
“Leaving aside future cultivation, even his longevity, I’m afraid it’s… ”
Zheng Fa was speechless, rely looking at the thesis in his hand, his expression sorrowful.
…
On Paradise Island, Gu Chang’s mother watched him having dinner, hesitated to speak.
After a long ti, she couldn’t help but say:
“The exam…”
“My cultivation is too low, not much hope.”
Hearing this, Gu Mu was filled with despair, tears in her eyes, almost crying.
“When you first joined the sect, your father and I were so happy we couldn’t sleep all night… Later we knew, our Spirit Root wasn’t as good as other disciples, but we thought it was still better after cultivating than before.”
“Later, when a girl ca to propose marriage, such a good girl!” Gu Mu seed to have been holding back for a long ti, and now poured out everything on hearing her son failed the exam, “But you didn’t want it, if you don’t want, then that’s fine, you’re grown up, mother has no insight, can’t control you.”
“But then you wanted to do research!”
“Whatever research it is, mother doesn’t understand, only heard people say, this thing is not sothing that ordinary disciples can succeed, with your cultivation, it was wishful thinking.”
“As soon as the journal was published, you went to buy it! You being a teacher, how much good deeds can you have?”
“The good deeds would suffice! But why are you getting hurt every day? Mother is washing your sheets, your cloth, every day afraid of seeing red!”
“Every month’s good deeds beca injury dicine, beca journal subscriptions, and your body ended up like this!”
“Mother now doesn’t ask you to marry, doesn’t ask you to support the family, doesn’t ask you to beco immortal or beco an ancestor… Just asks if you can’t live long and prosper?”
Gu Chang slowly put down the chopsticks, looking at his mother with a gaze that hid guilt.
“Mother.”
“Find soone to assist in seeking a wife.”
Gu Mu’s eyes widened in disbelief: “Given our family’s current situation, we even offended soone last ti, a girl with good qualifications is hard to find…”
“No need, just find soone who hasn’t entered the Dao, with no background will do.” Gu Chang replied with a smile.
Gu Mu looked at Gu Chang skeptically.
She then heard Gu Chang chuckling: “Previously, your son thought wrong, dreaming all day, now it’s ti to settle down, marry and have children, let mother enjoy the joys of family… In the future, when there are grandchildren, they can accompany you.”
On hearing this, Gu Mu’s face broke into a broad smile, nodding repeatedly: “Good! Good! I’ll find soone to help you!”
At this mont, she felt sowhat inadequate: “I’ve heard people say, mother’s qualifications are lacking, giving birth to children with bad Spirit Roots too, should we still find soone with higher qualifications? After all, you went for an inner sect interview, and have so reputation within the sect!”
“No need, Spirit Root matters, mother doesn’t need to worry about it.”
Gu Mu appeared increasingly puzzled, then heard Gu Chang quietly saying: “I prepared a gift for the child.”
“Where?”
“With the Sect Leader.”
