Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World

Chapter 337: Chapter 209: Observations at the Nursing Home, First Experiment_3

The sunlight shone brilliantly behind her, and the mountain wind lifted the hem of her modern clothes.

Yet at this moment, a term spontaneously came to mind for everyone—gracefully ethereal like an Immortal.

"Is this... the museum director?"

Old Man Bai heard a female student’s voice trembling as she spoke.

Looking at the others, their expressions while gazing at Tang Lingwu were dreamlike, filled with longing...

Old Man Bai curled his lip, feeling overshadowed by Tang Lingwu.

Nevertheless, he understood; flying through the skies and tunneling through the earth, just like an Immortal, was much more impressive than his muscular physique.

He pondered for a moment before saying, "No..."

Everyone instinctively turned their gaze back to him.

He solemnly added, "Whether it’s me or her... our abilities today were all cultivated by the museum director..."

Chen Sheng felt as if he had been punched hard...

The silhouette under the setting sun had almost transformed into an Immortal in his heart.

But could it be that the skills of this Immortal were taught by the museum director?

Seeing their puzzled faces, wanting to ask but not daring to, Old Man Bai smiled, choosing to remain silent.

...

After Chen Sheng and the others descended the mountain, they spontaneously stopped at the foot of the mountain, looking up towards the nursing home halfway up the slope.

A cloud conveniently obscured their view, allowing them only to glimpse the outlines of the nursing home.

Somehow, Chen Sheng felt that the nursing home resembled the palace of Immortals in dreams...

"What kind of person do you think the museum director is?"

That female disciple spoke again.

No one could answer her, but Chen Sheng looked towards the nursing home again.

He had been practicing martial arts since childhood, admittedly not with great success, but now a line of poetry that he had learned as a child inexplicably came to his mind:

"Hidden in these mountains deep, the cloud-ridden paths unknown."

...

"The smoke is a bit too much!"

In the Xuanwei Realm, on a desolate mountain, Zheng Fa was standing by a large pit with Zhang, their eyes sparkling with silver light as they continuously observed and recorded.

Three Supreme Elders were on guard nearby.

Outside the pit, several disciples from the "Golden Core Project" artifact refining team were randomly casting spells, focusing on a three-legged alchemy furnace in the pit.

Yuan, sitting cross-legged beside them, had a stern face as her Lifebound Spirit Fire blazed fiercely at the bottom of the pit.

Everyone was busy, except for Yu Ying, who was idly loitering around—now famously known as a do-nothing figure in the Jiushan Realm.

She squatted nearby, looking at this, then at that, seeming quite interested.

She gently tapped Zheng Fa’s shoulder and asked, "Are you refining an outer elixir’s alchemy furnace here?"

Zheng Fa didn’t hide it from her, nodding lightly.

After discussing with Zhang, they set a two-phase plan:

First, they would follow the method described in the "Hanhai Outer Pill," using traditional techniques to refine an outer pill—mainly to see if Zheng Fa and Cheng Yun’s modern analysis was accurate.

If it was correct, Zheng Fa planned to start directly on refining the Shenxiao Outer Pill...

It’s not that he didn’t want to experiment a few more times, but refining an outer pill, if successful, was obviously a win.

But if unsuccessful... it would consume substantial resources.

The Jiushan Sect was poor nowadays.

But they encountered a problem from the first step: many spells in the "Hanhai Outer Pill" couldn’t be used in the Jiushan Realm.

After all, only Thunder Skill could be used in the Jiushan Realm now.

"Shenxiao Outer Pill," however, didn’t have this issue, as in Cheng Yun’s design, all reactions of the Shenxiao Outer Pill were based on Thunder Skill.

Even the subsequent outer pill processes were roughly the same.

The only exception was the "Hanhai Outer Pill," which had this issue because it was a legacy from an earlier time.

Thus, they had to find a secluded place in the Xuanwei Realm for experiments.

This place was far from the original location of the Hundred Immortals Alliance, and the power of the Great Freedom Demon Sect hadn’t spread here yet, so it was relatively peaceful—of course, also because there weren’t any valuable spirit lands here.

Fine patterns appeared on the surface of the alchemy furnace in the pit, resembling human meridians.

These patterns, dense and dispersed, were actually scattered inside and outside the furnace, with nine focal points representing the so-called nine acupoints.

The interior of the furnace was divided into three spaces, corresponding to the three gates mentioned in the "Hanhai Golden Pill."

According to Cheng Yun and Zheng Fa’s analysis of the "Hanhai Outer Pill," the three gates represented three independent spaces—

The tail gate, where the so-called Innate Yuan Qi resided, was analyzed by Cheng Yun as the point for light and heavy particles, essentially the storage point for Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha.

The Jiaji Pass, where Yin and Yang harmoniously interact, was where the nuclear reaction started.

As for the Yuzhen Pass, generally considered the convergence point of Circulation, Cheng Yun could only guess based on analysis—it was where the reactions began to stabilize and cycle.

This meant that the nine acupoints were nine production nodes, and these nine production nodes operated in the three workshops of the three gates.

This was just an interpretation based on texts and underlying principles—to truly verify its accuracy, one had to rely on actual results.

This was why Zheng Fa decided to refine a Golden Core using traditional methods first.

Yu Ying had also roughly understood what the Golden Core Project was over the past two days—such a thing was of no use to her, as she was already a revered Nascent Soul.

But she had to admit, she was intrigued!

Her gaze fixed on Zheng Fa, her mouth hinting a smile:

The ideas in Zheng Fa’s mind seemed more fun than those inheritances in secret realms...

For the first time, she felt living people were more interesting than the dead!

...

Zheng Fa always felt Yu Ying’s gaze on him was somewhat impolite.

He didn’t mind, still focusing on the alchemy furnace in the pit.

After all...

Crack!

Indeed!

Zheng Fa’s mouth twitched, knowing these disciples of the artifact refining team weren’t up to snuff.

At that moment, Yu Ying suddenly spoke up, "I have a friend who’s an Artifact Refiner, the kind that refines outer elixirs."

Zheng Fa abruptly looked up, surprised at Yu Ying.

Yu Ying suddenly felt that Zheng Fa’s gaze was a bit impolite too...

His face clearly read—Fairy Xiao, you have friends too?
