Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World

Chapter 145: Chapter 49: Gift (5K)_2

Old Man Bai’s consolation, though not quite articulate, strangely made his anxiety subside.

Old Man Bai did say something sensible, don’t carry everything on your own shoulders—whether it’s Jiushan Sect or Zhang, would they fall apart without him?

Jiushan Sect has three Nascent Soul real people.

Zhang is even more gifted.

Honestly, as someone in the Qi Refinement Realm, worrying so much about others is like fretting over nothing, or even overestimating oneself.

He closed his eyes, feeling the electric current slowly flowing into his palm, stimulating the muscles within his body.

At this moment, Zheng Fa wasn’t wearing a shirt, his upper body bare. If an outsider were present, they could clearly see that the muscles in his body had grown significantly larger than before.

These days, Zheng Fa’s diet had improved a lot compared to his time at Zhao Mansion.

Let alone in the modern world, where he was a loyal patron of the canteen lady.

Now at Jiushan Sect, he was no longer short of money.

A meal of spirit grain was the bare minimum.

These foods, under the influence of the Five Thunders Dharma Body, gradually turned into streamlined muscle mass on his body.

However, the little bulges on his body that resembled small mice had now disappeared.

In Zheng Fa’s opinion, this indicated that the cultivation at the level of Five Thunders Dharma Body was nearing its limit.

As time passed, his whole body’s muscles began trembling and bulging mightily, his skin dripping with copious amounts of sweat.

Under the light, he seemed to wear an armor made of exaggerated muscle mass.

But after a while, his muscles began to retract, leaving only defined lines beneath his skin.

However, once clothed, he looked much slimmer.

Zheng Fa opened his eyes, standing up from the chair gently, feeling unusually light—after reaching the Refining Flesh realm, he felt a harmonious sensation emanating from inside out.

According to the martial arts books he had read in Zhao Mansion, this feeling could be described as the unity of body and mind, no, it was even a level above that.

Zheng Fa set his phone on the dining table, turned on the camera, and stood in front of it, then he performed the Spiritual Crane Cloud-piercing Hand.

When he watched the video, Zheng Fa noticed the difference from before his advancement—his movements couldn’t even be captured by the phone camera, and even at the highest frame rate, his hands were just a blur in the video.

He was faster!

Grinning, Zheng Fa sat back down, putting on his gloves, aiming to continue cultivating Five Thunders Dharma Body into the next realm, Bone Forging.

But a moment later, he opened his eyes in disappointment.

Each realm of Five Thunders Dharma Body requires a huge leap in electrical voltage.

The transformer’s maximum voltage of 300V was insufficient for Bone Forging cultivation.

A tad disheartened, Zheng Fa put away the transformer.

This Immortal Dao treasure, it seemed, couldn’t keep up with his cultivation progress—though, maybe later it could be used to give Old Man Bai an electric shock, since he had always been interested in the Five Thunders Dharma Body.

Zheng Fa was seated in the classroom, pondering what he could utilize to continue cultivating the Five Thunders Dharma Body.

Others were buried in their books, sprinting towards the last stretch before college entrance exams.

Tang Lingwu walked up beside him.

Now not just Wang Chen and the others, but even a large number of students around Zheng Fa seemed indifferent to Tang Lingwu approaching Zheng Fa.

They acted as if it was nothing out of the ordinary, as though Tang Lingwu naturally belonged there.

Or perhaps, the pressure of college entrance exams had caused Wang Chen and the others to lose any interest in what was happening between Zheng Fa and Tang Lingwu.

Tang Lingwu was holding quite a few things in her hands.

There was a bulging folder, with a notebook on top.

Zheng Fa was startled, glancing at Tang Lingwu’s face—had this girl been up all night again?

But Tang Lingwu didn’t seem like it, her fair little face was full of vigor, showing no signs of staying up late, but instead, because of achieving the Spiritual Crane Body, her beauty had improved even further.

"Why are you looking at me?"

Tang Lingwu stopped walking, touching her face in surprise.

"I think you’ve gotten prettier."

Zheng Fa honestly voiced his thoughts.

Tang Lingwu blushed a bit.

Then Wang Chen’s sarcastic voice came from behind, "Enough already, go flirt outside!"

"..."

Aren’t you studying?

"...Ahem." Tang Lingwu first put the folder in front of Zheng Fa, spread it out, and pointing to the blueprints inside said, "This was designed by the architectural institute at my mother’s request, have a look if there’s anything you’d like to modify."

Zheng Fa glanced at it—it was a small manor layout.

Since it was located on a hillside with limited flat land, it was not very large and had few buildings.

There were only two main buildings in the blueprints—

After entering the courtyard, first was a Chinese-style three-story small building. Tang Lingwu pointed there and said, "This is for guests or patients, serving as guest rooms or wards."

Behind the small building was an open space left expressly.

This was reserved for Zheng Fa’s future farming plans.

At the end of the open space, up against the mountain wall, there was an area marked with a question mark.

"My mom said this place is for us to live, more private. She wanted to get your input on what kind of house you like."

Zheng Fa shook his head; he wasn’t too particular about this, just saying to Tang Lingwu, "It’s up to you, oh, and ask Mr. Bai, since you all will be living there."

"Wait a minute..." Wang Chen’s voice came again, obviously not giving up eavesdropping on Zheng Fa’s conversation.

"Yes?"

"Your mom is building a house for him?" Wang Chen pointed to Zheng Fa, then to Tang Lingwu, "You two are going to live together?"
