Chapter 352: Chapter 214: Elder Gifts a Book, Realize You Grandpa_3

Only Junior Master Huang, he hadn’t heard of it.

"Kan Li Golden Core."

Zheng Fa felt even more astonished. The Kan Li Golden Core was also one of the twelve Golden Core Methods of Jiushan Sect—but it was not a legacy of top-grade Golden Core.

As a Nascent Soul, Junior Master Huang was supposed to cultivate a top-grade Golden Core.

Why would he cultivate this particular Golden Core Method?

"I have a cultivation partner, you should know."

Zheng Fa nodded. Master Pang once mentioned that Junior Master Huang used to have a husband, a genius, who was also a close friend of Master Pang.

"The Kan Li Golden Core, this Core Formation method, is not a top-tier Core Formation method, but my husband..." A touch of tenderness flashed across Junior Master Huang’s cold face.

Zheng Fa had never heard Junior Master Huang speak so gently.

"He once wanted us, as husband and wife, to form top-grade Golden Cores together, so he took this not-so-top-tier Golden Core Method to comprehend. Later, both of us relied on his improved Golden Core Skill to achieve top-grade Golden Cores."

Zheng Fa was deeply moved. He knew about the Kan Li Golden Core—the Kan Li implies the meaning of water, fire, Yin Yang, or rather, it’s a Golden Core Method of the Immortal Sect that could be used for Dual Cultivation.

Junior Master Huang’s choice of this Golden Core Method was naturally for the longevity to be shared between husband and wife.

What surprised him was—this elder actually succeeded!

Now he understood why previously Master Pang was so heartbroken over this mentor’s passing, and why he couldn’t forgive Junior Master Huang for so many years...

What kind of talent was this?

He held the jade tube in his hand, realizing that this understanding of Core Formation was indeed precious—this was an experience of a successful improvment of a Golden Core Method.

He listened as Junior Master Huang looked at Zheng Fa, or rather, stared at the jade tube in his hand, her expression indescribably complex.

"This is a relic of his..."

"..." Zheng Fa felt that the jade tube in his hand had become somewhat heavier.

"For many years, I dared not look at this jade tube..." Junior Master Huang seemed not to be speaking to Zheng Fa, but rather to the jade tube in his hand.

Zheng Fa understood in his heart that for Junior Master Huang, the contents of this jade tube were not just a precious secret technique, but were efforts of her husband for them to become immortal companions...

Perhaps in her eyes, every word and sentence within this secret technique bore her genius mentor’s deep affection and expectations for the future, the figure who once stood proudly, shielding everything in front of her...

"Junior Master, I will return this jade tube to you as soon as possible."

Zheng Fa said solemnly.

"There’s no need..." Junior Master Huang lifted her head to look at Zheng Fa, then said, "Take a good look, study it carefully, and only then give it back to me."

Zheng Fa felt strangely puzzled.

Only to hear Junior Master Huang say, "He wrote this comprehension for us to last a long, long time..."

"..."

"We could not make it," Junior Master Huang looked at Zheng Fa, "but you can."

"..." Zheng Fa was speechless.

"Do not let Wuyi end up like me."

"Junior Master?"

Junior Master Huang turned and walked towards the courtyard outside; her last words spoken with her back to Zheng Fa were: "Master Pang once said a word, that it should have been me who died..."

Zheng Fa fell silent.

"I’ve told myself that a million times, yet he risked his life to save me..."

"I couldn’t die."

"Don’t let Wuyi end up like me."

Junior Master Huang slowly walked outside, it was now night time in the Jiushan Realm, and the fog outside the island was dark and heavy.

...

In the Quiet Room, Zheng Fa was holding the jade tube given by Junior Master Huang.

This jade tube was smooth on the surface, with a faint polish, seemingly having been caressed day by day, holding a gentle warmth when in hand.

He had no Divinity Transformation Master, but at this moment, he seemed to not envy Xiao Yuying anymore... well, he still envied her a bit—that Divinity Transformation Master he might not want, but the Bodhi Seed he truly desired.

He softly closed his eyes, not opening them until he had finished reading the records inside the jade tube—upon opening his eyes, his face was filled with helplessness.

He now understood where this genius mentor’s brilliance lay!

That person possessed an Enlightenment Spirit Body!

Enlightenment Spirit Body, as the name suggests, makes one easily immersed in the comprehension of the great Dao...

The effect is equivalent to a weakened version of the Nine-leaf Bodhi Seed.

But there are more opportunities!

Zheng Fa now understood even more why Master Pang was angry at Junior Master Huang...

However, this jade tube also has some uses: This junior master divided the Kan Li Golden Core into Yin and Yang parts, to facilitate cultivation between spouses—during this process, he also altered the required Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha Qi for cultivation.

Putting down the jade tube, Zheng Fa returned to his previous thoughts:

Spiritual bodies, according to his previous discoveries, have some special effects inherent to the spiritual power itself:

For example, within his spiritual power, there are talismanic diagrams capable of germinating pea sprouts.

And might Fusang Wood, capable of growing a sun, be a type of—spiritual power effect that can cause hydrogen ions to undergo fusion?

And if all Heavenly Gang Qi are light nuclear particles, would replacing the Shenxiao Golden Core’s required Heavenly Gang Qi with hydrogen ions be feasible?

That is to say, his Shenxiao Golden Core, product unchanged, but the raw materials need to be replaced by hydrogen ions...

According to the experience of Xiao Yuying and Junior Master Huang as a Daoist couple, this modification should be alright.

After mulling it over in his heart for a while, Zheng Fa felt this idea might be plausible, and he straightforwardly walked towards the courtyard.

...

Ever since Zheng Fa prepared for Core Formation, Zhang has been busy handling miscellaneous matters in the main hall of Heavenly Palace Island.

Yuan was also there.

Even Xiao Yuying was present.

Although her relationship with Zhang was not very close, she only spoke to those she took a liking to, and besides Zheng Fa, Zhang was the only other person in the Jiushan Sect she would willingly converse more with.

The three of them chatted intermittently.

But the atmosphere seemed a bit dull, gradually sinking into silence.

"Without little brother Zheng here, it’s so boring..."

Zhang and Xiao Yuying didn’t say much, but Yuan blurted out straightforwardly.

The other two exchanged a look, knowing in their hearts, that wasn’t false—Zheng Fa now is the linchpin of the Jiushan Realm; with him here, everyone else feels a bit more secure.

In his absence, their thoughts would inadvertently drift to that small courtyard; sometimes while talking, their minds would wander elsewhere.

"Don’t think about it... Core Formation is something you can’t rush, even ten or eight years are considered short."

Xiao Yuying pursed her lips.

"That long... I just fell asleep and achieved Core Formation!"

Yuan widened her eyes.

Zhang said, "That sleep of yours lasted eighty years..."

"...Oh right!" Yuan scratched her head, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Then I’ll sleep again!"

Having said that, she laid her head down on the table, facing the doorway.

"Isn’t that little brother Zheng? I haven’t fallen asleep yet... am I dreaming?"

Zhang looked up and saw Zheng Fa approaching the main hall.

Even Xiao Yuying was surprised: "You’ve finished your seclusion already?"

Zheng Fa shook his head, looking at Zhang and asked, "The rune in that previous Communication Talisman that could shield spiritual energy from interfering with the electromagnetic field... can it be used separately?"

Zhang nodded lightly, her eyes filled with confusion, probably not understanding why Zheng Fa was asking this...

"Are the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha Qi collected inside the gate complete?"

"...Still missing a few types."

"We’ll need to get Hundred Immortals Alliance and Unrivaled Society to buy them."

Xiao Yuying, standing by, was confused: "What are you trying to do?"

"I want to find the lightest Heavenly Gang Qi!"

To swap the Shenxiao Golden Core’s raw materials with hydrogen ions, he needed to find hydrogen ions...

This was simple—hydrogen ions are the smallest atomic mass charged particles!

Previously, Zheng Fa might not have been capable, but if he could shield spiritual power’s interference with electromagnetic fields, then measuring atomic mass would be too easy—

That is, you have Bodhi Seeds, I have a mass spectrometer!

Screw your grandfather’s path of enlightenment...

I’m going to experiment again!
