Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World

Chapter 219: Chapter 113 Advertisement

In the retirement home, Tang Lingwu’s computer mainframe was panting heavily, the fan whirring loudly, before it finally came to a rest.

Seeing the computer settle down, several people crowded around the screen. Tang Lingwu clicked on the mouse a few times and then spoke up:

"According to the second class of sub-talismans corresponding to a programmer... no, the thought process of a certain being, I tentatively call it the God Name Sub-characters. Using the different God Name Sub-characters to classify the previously discovered talismanic diagrams..."

While dragging the results across the screen, Tang Lingwu explained: "We can see that there are actually thousands of these God Name Sub-characters— and this is still without us inputting more talismanic diagrams."

"Does that mean there could be countless powerful beings who have all written their own rules?"

"Countless might be an exaggeration, but there are indeed a lot." Tang Lingwu nodded, and then with a press on the keyboard, said: "But upon further study, one would find that the number of talismanic diagrams corresponding to each God Name Sub-character is different."

"If we look at these dozen or so God Name Sub-characters, they account for eighty percent of all talismanic diagrams."

"If we consider these three hundred or more God Name Sub-characters, they nearly account for ninety-nine point nine percent of all God Name Sub-characters."

"If we treat this entire system of talismanic diagrams as a project," Tang Lingwu summarized, "then there are about a dozen people who contributed eighty percent of the code... They are the main force of the project."

Tang Lingwu spoke with a slightly dispirited expression: "I just don’t know what use this discovery has..."

"It’s useful." Zheng Fa analyzed: "Let’s make a reasonable assumption, the more powerful the being, the more rules of the universe they can write, which means..."

"That among the creators of these talismanic diagrams, there are about a dozen extremely powerful beings." Zheng Fa slowly analyzed: "They are the strongest and have created the most perfect Spirit Talismans—we should study the final class of sub-talismans and perhaps pick one of them for research."

Tang Lingwu and Old Man Bai nodded slightly.

"Moreover... they." Zheng Fa looked at those dozen or so God Name Sub-characters, with a hint of speculation in his tone: "These might be related to the secrets of Divinity Transformation."

"Divinity Transformation?"

Zheng Fa shook his head gently, not explaining to Old Man Bai and the others.

...

The God Name Sub-characters were still too distant for Zheng Fa and his group.

Currently, their research focus was still on the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder.

"Zheng Fa, come here and take a look." Old Man Bai waved at Zheng Fa and said: "Ling Wu and I simulated a few Primordial Talismans of the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder on the computer."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Fa walked over, and ten talismanic diagrams appeared on the computer.

If the cultivators who entered the Heavenly Stele Realm were to witness this scene, their dao hearts might shatter.

You see, for a spell to be transformed into talismanic magic, it already requires a lengthy amount of time, even needing hundreds of generations to try little by little.

Once the usable talismanic diagram is found, who knows how much more time is needed to convert it into a Primordial Talisman.

Moreover, they don’t even know how the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder is actually emitted.

But Zheng Fa and his group were already capable of creating perfect Primordial Talismans...

Once Zheng Fa and his team had not only analyzed the three classes of sub-talismans but had also almost figured out both the God Name Sub-characters and the Five Elements Child Talisman, reverse engineering the Spirit Talismans of the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder became somewhat simple.

To use an inappropriate analogy, while they were still trying to make fire by friction, Zheng Fa was almost ready to make a lighter...

"Take a look, we tried using the Five Elements Child Talisman separately." Old Man Bai pointed to the screen and explained: "Plus the Yin Yang Configuration, we have roughly ten types."

Zheng Fa nodded and committed the ten talismanic diagrams to memory.

After all, the modern era lacks the materials to create Spirit Talismans, so which kind of Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Spirit Talisman it actually is must be tested again in the Xuanwei Realm.

Yet finding the correct talismanic diagram for the Heavenly Tribulation Talisman out of these ten seems too simple...

"Right, hold on, protect me for a moment."

"Protect?"

"I’m about to breakthrough!"

Zheng Fa was taken aback, looking at Old Man Bai; when Tang Lingwu broke through to the second level of Qi Cultivation, she indeed gave the old man quite a shock—has this shown results now?

"My ’Five Thunders Dharma Body’ is about to break through Refining Flesh!"

Old Man Bai said with pride.

"...You’re really putting in the effort."

This was much quicker than Old Man Bai’s cultivation breakthrough.

This old man seemed to still be obsessed with that dream of rotating magnetic fields and shattering stars with a single punch.

Zheng Fa thought for a moment...

Given the current circumstances, this really doesn’t seem to be a dream...

...

The next morning, Zheng Fa was disturbed from his cultivation practice by a rumbling noise, he stepped outside and saw two excavators working in the yard.

He wasn’t surprised.

Ever since the retirement home started making money from selling vegetables, Zheng Fa had asked Tang Lingwu to contact a construction team, ready to build two laboratories.

One was an agricultural laboratory for Mrs. Tian to use.

The other was a physics laboratory, or more precisely, an electromagnetism laboratory.

While the excavator was operating, Zheng Fa was inexplicably drawn to it, standing by and watching for a long time.

"I don’t know what’s there to see... Old Bai also did the same this morning, squatting beside it and watching for a long while, and he even said he wanted to learn how to operate an excavator," Mrs. Tian couldn’t help but complain.

"What can I say..." Zheng Fa couldn’t quite articulate why, scratching his head, he said: "This... it’s probably just something in our genes, I guess."

"..."

"Where’s Mr. Bai?"

"He broke through to the ’Five Thunders Dharma Body’ last night, didn’t sleep all night." Mrs. Tian curled her lip, also somewhat perplexed: "And I have no idea what he’s up to this early in the morning."

"I know!"

Tang Lingwu suddenly came out, holding her phone up for the two to see: "He’s gone down to the guesthouse owner’s live streaming room."

"Eh?"

Zheng Fa and Mrs. Tian leaned in to look, indeed.

The guesthouse owner was live streaming, and somehow that old man was there, chatting with people.

As they were chatting, the old man suddenly unzipped his jacket to reveal what he was wearing underneath.

That flashy old man, having gotten himself a fitness vest at some point, once the jacket came off, those smooth muscle contours from the advancement of the ’Five Thunders Dharma Body’ immediately caused an uproar among the live stream viewers.

Even the popularity of the guesthouse owner’s live streaming room increased significantly.

Zheng Fa watched this scene in stunned silence for a long time before turning his face towards Mrs. Tian: "...Mrs. Tian, any thoughts on this..."

"Thinking of divorce..." Mrs. Tian said expressionlessly, her voice trailing off.

...

"You don’t understand! I’m advertising for our retirement home!" At dinner that evening, Old Man Bai spoke with conviction: "Our retirement home is starting up now. With my physique, my temperament, aren’t I a perfect live advertisement?"

"I even left my phone number for that guesthouse owner! He will help me promote it in his live streaming room!"

At that moment, his phone rang.

"Hello, ah, it’s me, no no no, we are a retirement home, not a gym... You are a gym? Inviting me to advertise?"

Old Man Bai hung up the phone with a dry laugh.

After a while, his phone rang again.

"Not a gym! No ads... what?" Old Man Bai’s voice suddenly lowered. Zheng Fa watched him quickly get up and walk out into the yard, curiously listening to what he was saying.

"Elderly socializing? I’m interested, very interested."

"What? Same-sex socializing?" Old Man Bai paused then said: "Pah!"

"..."

Zheng Fa turned to Mrs. Tian and said: "About that divorce, I cast a vote for."

"..."

"But Mr. Bai is right, our retirement home should start operating now." Zheng Fa thought for a moment. Now that he had healing abilities and had vegetables nourished by spiritual energy: "Once our laboratories are ready, we can start admitting residents."

Opening the retirement home would increase some income.

And of course, it was also to recruit people for the cultivation experiment group.

Right now, what Zheng Fa most hoped for was to find someone who understands meteorology...

He still had no clue how to research the Cloud Rain Talisman.
