Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World

"I ask myself, at his age, with his achievements, wouldn't I feel like no one in the world is more formidable than me?"

"Wouldn't I have the thought that whatever I say goes in this world?"

"But he... still holds respect for others, a reverence for science, and possesses self-reflection."

Mr. Hou looked at the fields that had always captivated him and said:

"Compared to this, this Spiritual Wheat No.1... is insignificant."

"It's only a matter of time."

...

Zheng Fa was unaware of Mr. Hou's praise for him.

His generosity had its own reasoning—nowadays, the Xuanwei Five Sects seemed to place great importance on territories and populations.

They were all intent on building some Daoist state or Buddhist land.

Zheng Fa hadn't figured out why, but... why shouldn't the modern world become his Daoist Field?

Accidentally, he started to slowly spread Daoist Skills in the modern world, yet invisibly, he had gained an exclusive, extremely stable, and populous territory of billions!

From Zheng Fa's point of view now, the entire modern world belongs to him!

How could he not dedicate himself fully to it?

Moreover, money meant nothing to him, but the wisdom stored in those brains was very useful to him.

For example, those brilliant minds had gradually shaped the "Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation"!

With the "Jiushan Golden Core Technique" and the Five Elements Child Talisman, the principles of the "Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation" weren't difficult.

The challenge was matching every structure in the world with the cultivation technique and even memorizing them.

Currently, the "Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation" developed by the retirement home consisted of only two parts:

One was the transformation of the cultivation technique, that is, the change of aura, which was completed by Cheng Yun with others, based on the previous twelve Golden Core techniques, plus the research done by Zheng Fa and Sister Zhang recently.

This part didn't have much content.

But...

The other part was more extensive:

"Non-living transformation!"

This part was very complex—because it used the enumeration method.

Even though the structure of non-living things is relatively simple, the variety is nearly endless, so resolving them one by one and using spells to simulate them was far more complicated than Zheng Fa imagined.

To put it this way:

Even with Zheng Fa's super memory, seeing the various structures and spell diagrams stored in dozens of large hard drives.

His mind only had the words "collapse."

And that's not all; people were still slowly listing other material structures.

Old Man Bai, seeing his pained expression, suddenly brightened with an idea and said: "Don't you still have the Creation Jade Disc?"

Zheng Fa nodded gently.

Using the Creation Jade Disc to memorize these things wasn't difficult, and later, when Zheng Fa wanted to cast a spell, he could just check it from the Creation Jade Disc.

The problem is...

"This cultivation technique is too complex."

He sighed to Old Man Bai, speaking softly, "I can succeed with the Creation Jade Disc, but what about others?"

At that moment, he thought of Sister Zhang.

No matter how smart Sister Zhang is, memorizing these things is probably unrealistic.

Wouldn't that mean this "Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation" could only be practiced by him?

Even without considering Sister Zhang...

According to Zheng Fa's guess that Dao Fruit needs an audience to become stronger, if others can't practice such a complex thing, it would be a hindrance in the future.

Tang Lingwu frowned, thought for a moment, and suddenly had an idea, saying:

"Actually, there is a solution."

"Oh?"

Zheng Fa looked towards Tang Lingwu.

"One way is to memorize only a few, like simple and common things like rocks or water."

"In our daily lives, eighty percent of what we see are actually those few things."

Old Man Bai's eyes lit up, and he clapped: "Little Ling Wu has a clever mind!"

Zheng Fa also thought this idea was good, meaning, "The Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation" was too voluminous, just make a children's version, or a beggar's version.

"This is a simplification strategy; the other way..." Tang Lingwu laughed shyly, "is a Spiritual Eye Technique, or you could call it a scanning method."

"Just like photocopying, scan first, then copy."

Zheng Fa's eyes brightened.

He understood immediately.

It doesn't matter if you can't memorize it; when you want to transform something, use the Spiritual Eye Technique to scan it first, then proceed with the transformation.

This idea was similar in its ingenuity to using the Five Elements Divine Light to scan and study the "Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation."

Even though the "Void Spirit Eye" couldn't yet reach atomic-level precision, this method was still a potential solution with great growth potential.

One could even say that with this idea, cultivating the "Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation" only required mastering the main principles.

The difficulty of this cultivation technique greatly decreased, but its practicality dramatically increased!

Just as Old Man Bai said, Tang Lingwu had indeed proposed a highly constructive solution with just a little bit of brainpower.

If Sister Zhang were aware, she might also thank Little Ling Wu!

...

In the Xuanwei Realm, Zheng Fa walked into Sister Zhang's courtyard, joyfully saying, "Sister, I've made progress with the 'Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation'!"

Seeing Sister Zhang turn her head toward him, Zheng Fa handed over a jade tube to her.

Inside was a small part of the "Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation" that had been studied in the modern world.

Sister Zhang took the jade tube before her, and after a while, the Spiritual Power on her body changed, and the Spiritual Energy above her head was colorful, resembling a rainbow, shining on her fair face like beautiful jade.

"There's no problem with the part about the cultivation technique transformation."

Hearing this, Zheng Fa smiled, having Sister Zhang's approval made the "Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation" successfully commence.

"Give it a try."

"Ah?"

Zheng Fa pointed to the meditation mat next to Sister Zhang, confused, "Here?"

"Right here, I'll watch over you to prevent any mishaps in your practice."

This made sense, so Zheng Fa climbed onto the bed, sitting cross-legged, listening to Sister Zhang's instructions, guiding the Spiritual Power within, while letting the cultivation technique and Golden Core within him slowly transform.

After a moment...

"Sister?"

"You..."

Sister, you should thank Little Ling Wu!

Nevermind, Little Ling Wu probably doesn't care.
