Chapter 351: Chapter 214: Elder Gifts a Book, Realize You Grandpa_2

If the future is like that, then Jiushan Sect... deserves to flourish forever.

...

Since he was preparing for Core Formation, Zheng Fa entrusted various matters to Zhang and his Master, and returned to his own courtyard.

He sat on the meditation cushion in the Quiet Room, with three sticks of incense burning slowly, and the outside was utterly silent. Yuan from next door Zhang’s courtyard, who practiced press releases daily, had been absent for the past few days and seemed to have moved elsewhere.

A warm feeling rose in Zheng Fa’s heart as he immersed his Divine Sense into the Jade tube, reviewing the Core Formation insights summarized by Xiao Yuying.

Half a day later, he opened his eyes, and felt like cursing.

Xiao Yuying’s account was detailed, and aside from some matters that shouldn’t be disclosed, she had told Zheng Fa nearly everything she had thought about before her Core Formation.

According to the Jade tube, her Core Formation had two forms of aid:

Firstly, Xiao Yuying emphasized that her own efforts were the most crucial — she not only cultivated diligently but also found many ancient books and records in various Secret Realms, from which she gathered much experience.

Secondly, her Divinity Transformation Master provided her some insignificant help: her Master, from an unknown source, had obtained a Nine-leaf Bodhi Seed for her.

Zheng Fa had heard of the Nine-leaf Bodhi Seed, a legendary treasure for enlightenment rumored in Xuanwei Realm.

He believed that ninety-nine percent of the cultivators in Xuanwei Realm had only heard about it, and they might even think it was fictitious...

Translating Xiao Yuying’s words, it was ninety-nine percent perspiration and one percent elder’s assistance that led her to success!

Zheng Fa slowly set down the Jade tube, feeling as if reading further would turn Xiao Yuying into his Heart Demon.

Where would he find a Divinity Transformation Master?

However, Xiao Yuying wasn’t bragging; she had detailed her experience using the Nine-leaf Bodhi Seed — her mind was incredibly sharp, ideas flowed one after another, it felt as if she had lived several lifetimes in a moment...

Then she captured an inspiration.

Zheng Fa shook his head; the Nine-leaf Bodhi Seed was something he shouldn’t even think about.

Yet, reading this Jade tube, he hadn’t come away empty-handed.

Xiao Yuying shared critical information: she had also modified her Cultivation Technique, the most crucial change being switching to a different kind of Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha Qi, which subtly aligned with Zheng Fa’s own ideas!

From the "Golden Core Project," Zheng Fa confirmed something — a Golden Core is a type of nuclear reactor, "Shenxiao Golden Core" is a process of transforming some light and heavy particles, or Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha, into energy and new particles.

And the Fusang Wood, or rather, the fruit borne on the Fusang Wood, according to myth, was the sun.

Regardless of the mythological implications of Xuanwei Realm’s sun, in modern astronomy, most of the reactions in the sun are actually proton-proton chains.

Or rather, reactions that start with two hydrogen atoms.

Following Xiao Yuying’s thought process, if he could replace the Heavenly Gang Qi in the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha Qi with a stream of hydrogen atoms, would that subtly sync up with the Fusang Wood or even the Green Sun Dao Body?

This was a pathway he had been pondering, yet not quite confident in.

The Jade tube Xiao Yuying provided today gave him much more confidence.

As he was meticulously contemplating, suddenly a series of footsteps came from outside.

Zheng Fa looked up and saw Elder Yuan entering his courtyard, holding a notebook which, without speaking, he simply thrust into Zheng Fa’s hands saying, "These are some insights I gathered while congealing the Shenxiao Golden Core, take a look."

Zheng Fa was stunned, then heard Elder Yuan say, "I can’t help you much with other things, you are different from me after all, just take a look at this notebook... You don’t need to worry about Jiushan Sect’s matters, I will handle them, just focus on your closed-door cultivation."

...This old man, who barely meddled in Jiushan Sect’s affairs when he was Sect Leader, is now taking initiative to take on tasks?

He wanted to say something, but saw Elder Yuan wave his hand and leisurely walk away.

Zheng Fa flipped through the notebook given by his Master; the ink was fresh, the content quite chaotic, seemingly hastily written recently by the old man, probably due to Xiao Yuying’s Jade tube, that sparked this idea.

He hadn’t finished reading Elder Yuan’s notes when Master Pang arrived, also with a book of Core Formation insights.

Even Yuan had produced one of these things.

How to put it... reading Yuan’s notes, he could feel her sincere intentions and her awkward literary skills...

Zhang hadn’t come — she had already told Zheng Fa everything long ago... and wouldn’t let Xiao Yuying get the upper hand.

A day later, someone Zheng Fa hadn’t anticipated entered his courtyard.

"Junior Master Huang?"

Zheng Fa went to greet him, puzzled:

After entering Jiushan Realm, everyone’s attitudes had changed somewhat, even his Master’s.

Not only because he subtly possessed abilities of Divinity Transformation but more importantly, the lives of Jiushan Sect’s members hung on his single thought... Zheng Fa could understand this change.

Only Junior Master Huang remained indifferent; Zheng Fa had tasked her with managing the Law Enforcement Pavilion, which she did, but otherwise she kept to herself and hardly spoke with anyone except Zhang.

This person had somewhat of an incorruptible essence.

Who knew she would suddenly come to his courtyard today.

Junior Master Huang, without much talk, handed a Jade tube to Zheng Fa’s chest.

"What is this?"

Junior Master Huang said, "Core Formation insights."

Zheng Fa took the Jade tube, and heard Junior Master Huang continue, "It’s not mine."

"Huh?"

Zheng Fa was a bit puzzled.

"Do you know what kind of Golden Core I formed?"

Zheng Fa shook his head; he really didn’t know — among many Nascent Souls in Jiushan Realm, Xiao Yuying and Master Pang formed the Dragon-Tiger Golden Core, and his own Master formed the Shenxiao Golden Core.
