Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World
Chapter 300 - 184: Syllabus, Golden Core Project_3

Chapter 300: Chapter 184: Syllabus, Golden Core Project_3

The fundamental principle of teaching according to students’ potential lies in understanding the students — therefore, he thought it best to start with a major exam.

Speaking of which, he felt somewhat unconfident.

"These are just my preliminary thoughts, especially some of the learning requirements, which are my own estimates... I would appreciate any corrections from my Master and uncles."

"Corrections?"

Unexpectedly, Master Pang chuckled, then suddenly said, "Then I really must give you a piece of my mind."

"Yes!"

"With thoughts like these, haven’t you rebelled against your own Master? Taken over his position as Sect Leader?"

"..."

"Is he capable of being Sect Leader? You know he doesn’t have the ability, right?"

"What a delay!"

Zheng Fa felt ashamed: "Uncle... I’m just taking things one step at a time."

To tell the truth, he didn’t have much experience in education, it’s just that he had seen more things, so he had more ideas than the cultivators in the Xuanwei Realm:

At least in terms of universal education, these cultivators couldn’t catch up to Zheng Fa even if they were on horseback.

He looked at his own Master, only to see the old man nodding in agreement, seemingly very approving of Master Pang’s remarks.

After scolding him, Master Pang pointed at the syllabus, and several lines of text appeared:

"Linked Talisman Technique:

Academic Requirements:

Talismanic magic proficiency above excellent

Cultivation at Golden Core or above

"

"Uncle?"

Zheng Fa was a bit surprised; this Linked Talisman Technique could be considered Master Pang’s signature skill.

He heard Master Pang muttering, "This thing, I think it needs to be passed down to future generations..."

"..."

He looked at the Sect Leader, just to hear the Sect Leader say, "I have already imparted the talisman formation skills to you; arrange it as you see fit."

Junior Master Huang seemed indifferent.

She shook her head and said, "I don’t want to teach classes. I’m not proficient in this, and the Momentary Beauty Skills don’t suit everyone to learn."

Zheng Fa actually agreed with this.

Zhang had been quiet the whole time, her brows furrowed as she looked at the education syllabus.

"Wuyi?"

She suddenly looked up at Zheng Fa and asked:

"What does this ’Golden Core Project’ on your syllabus mean?"

Everyone was stunned, all looking at the syllabus in Zhang’s hands.

It read:

"Golden Core Project

Academic Requirements:

Cultivation at Foundation Establishment completion

Talismanic magic proficiency above excellent

Thunder Skill proficiency above excellent

"

"Golden... Core... Project..." Master Pang was also puzzled, "What does this ’project’ mean?"

"A project is an application of mathematics and various disciplines, through which we strive to produce the finest results with the least material and manpower, in the shortest time," Zheng Fa explained considerately.

"...Say something we can understand."

"Optimizing the Core Formation process, mass-producing high-quality Golden Core cultivators." Zheng Fa replied.

Looking at the elders, all stunned, he asked again: "Don’t understand yet?"

"I understand," Master Pang said slowly, "but it’s the same as not understanding..."

"Optimizing Core Formation process is one thing..."

"Mass-producing high-quality Golden Core cultivators?"

He looked at Zheng Fa, as though confirming whether his nephew was joking.

Zheng Fa smiled at him.

This was the greatest gain from his trip to the modern world —

Understanding the essence of Golden Cores is actually not very useful, but it gave rise to such a discipline as the Golden Core Project —

Putting aside all esoteric concepts, a Golden Core is a machine that uses Spiritual Power and various spells to produce special materials.

The so-called impurities in Golden Cores are not like what Zheng Fa previously thought, radioactive substances produced by fission — rather, they are particles that do not meet the requirements of the Cultivation Technique.

Logically speaking, the key to condensing high-quality Golden Cores is to improve the process and purify the product, right?

He requested help from Group Leader Yang to find nuclear engineering experts precisely with this idea — and results have already been yielded.

However, these results still need to be tested in the Jiushan Realm.

...

"Zheng, do you want to use this Golden Core Project course to inspire the disciples’ enthusiasm for learning?" Zhang suddenly asked.

Zheng Fa laughed, knowing Zhang understood him well.

The Golden Core Project sounds simple, but Core Formation is actually quite complex —

The process consumes a lot of Spiritual Power, requiring excellent control of Spiritual Power, meaning high demands on the Divine Soul.

On the other hand, to optimize the Core Formation process, strong scientific thinking is needed.

It can be said that to study this, the disciples in the Jiushan Realm have to go through many of the basic courses listed by Zheng Fa —

The problem is, they can’t afford not to study.

Who wouldn’t want to condense a high-grade Golden Core?

Seeing his smile, everyone understood — Zheng Fa is extremely dedicated to education.

Zhang nodded, suddenly adding a few lines to the syllabus:

"Talisman Dao Foundation Establishment Method:

Learning requirements:

Cultivators at the Qi Refinement Realm

Proficiency in Basic Primordial Talismans above excellent

"

Master Pang looked at the new syllabus and suddenly sighed: "For several epochs, Xuanwei Realm has not seen a more generous sect than ours..."

Zhang then spoke:

"Young brother, you need to be mindful of the consumption of spiritual materials."

Zheng Fa nodded in agreement, understanding what Zhang meant.

Cultivation is not just about knowledge.

In fact, spiritual materials are even more crucial.

Reflecting on this, Zheng Fa suddenly asked Zhang:

"Sister, do you think magical treasures could replace the function of a Golden Core?"

"Hmm?"

Zheng had only thought of trying to build a nuclear fusion power station or something similar in the Jiushan Realm.

But now, having heard Zhang’s remark, he suddenly wondered — could such a thing be used to produce spiritual materials?

Hearing him say this, Zhang’s expression was astounded, and the faces of the three masters showed even more horrified expressions.

"How can spiritual materials be produced?"

"This is just a speculation of mine..." Zheng Fa said with uncertainty, "The key question is, what really is the difference between spiritual materials and ordinary materials..."

In his eyes, the material structure of the Xuanwei Realm is so similar to the modern one.

So spiritual materials should also essentially be materials composed of particles; it’s just uncertain how these materials react with Spiritual Energy.

Therefore, Zheng Fa had a thought — if a Golden Core can create particles, then can it create spiritual materials?

If this idea were successful, it could also be beneficial to the modern world — the modern world lacks spiritual materials even more than the Xuanwei Realm.

Hearing his explanation, Master Pang suddenly said, "...This Golden Core Project, sign me up!"

"Uncle..." Zheng Fa paused for a moment, a bit embarrassedly said: "Your... your grade in talismanic magic might fall a bit short."

"..."
