Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World

On Heavenly Palace Island, in the grand hall, the Jiushan Sect's high-ranking members gathered around the Nine Nether Talisman, all frowning in unison.

Chen Ting had already left, and left very quickly, showing no attachment to the Jiushan Sect, as if he feared Zheng Fa might really want to intercept.

At this moment, Master Pang no longer cared much about this disciple—according to his words, Chen Ting was considered a talent in the Jiushan Sect before, but now...

The number of Golden Cores in the sect has tripled!

Is it that Zhou Qianyuan's aptitude is not high, or is it that Sun Daoyu's superior Golden Core is not pure?

Under his door, there are almost ten at the Golden Core Stage now, and he can't even recognize them all.

Chen Ting... Who is Chen Ting?

Zheng Fa felt that Master Pang's mindset was a bit like that after a breakup, living well on his own, already at peace.

Not only at peace, but Master Pang was also heartlessly suspicious of Chen Ting: "Chen Ting rarely spoke the truth before, now, he might not be trustworthy."

These words were not wrong—Zheng Fa still didn't trust the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor much, and naturally, he was also somewhat wary of Chen Ting.

However, Senior Sister Zhang thought for a moment and actually said a good word for this traitor: "He said the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor sent this talisman to conceal his whereabouts, which is also possible."

Zheng Fa nodded; these words indeed had some credibility.

The people exchanged glances, hesitating somewhat—in fact, the threat from the Five Sects Alliance was not small either.

Now, it was again a time to choose the lesser of two evils.

Before Zheng Fa could speak, Elder Yuan shook his head: "He might really want to keep it a secret, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want to harm us."

"..."

"If you incorporate this thing into your Divine Soul, what if he seizes it, controls it, hypnotizes it?"

"Or simply silences us?"

"This cannot be prevented."

This was precisely what Zheng Fa was most worried about:

Chen Ting intentionally blurred a matter, fundamentally speaking, the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor wanting to hide his actions does not mean he wants to help Zheng Fa—in fact, he might want to achieve two goals with one move.

The more powerful the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor is, the more dangerous it would be to hastily place this talisman into one's Divine Soul.

The expressions of everyone in the scene changed one by one.

This wasn't just out of concern for Zheng Fa, but because the safety of the Jiushan Realm was truly tied to Zheng Fa alone.

Not to mention, the opponent was a Demon Ancestor.

Even if it were a Xuanwei Five Sects... Forget it, that might not even be as bad as a Demon Ancestor.

After a long silence in the hall, it was Junior Master Huang who broke the silence:

"Is this talisman usable only once?"

Zheng Fa shook his head and said, "According to Chen Ting, there is a time limit, but no limit on usage counts."

Junior Master Huang continued to ask: "Can only one person use it?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, quickly understanding Junior Master Huang's intention—to try it on someone else first.

Or rather, find a little white mouse.

"This idea is good, no problem, then let Zheng Fa use this." Master Pang said, stroking his chin.

Zheng Fa frowned slightly, cautious as he was, he was not very willing to force the disciples of the Jiushan Realm to be guinea pigs.

Unexpectedly, Junior Master Huang directly reached out and picked up the talisman, Spiritual Power surged around her, and the Nine Nether Talisman disappeared in her hand.

Junior Master Huang was indeed somewhat daring...

Without a word, she made herself the guinea pig!

Honestly, Zheng Fa truly hadn't reacted.

With others, if it were Master Pang, or Master, or Senior Sister Zhang doing this, he would be surprised but not stunned.

But Junior Master Huang... If it could be said she had a problem with him, it wouldn't go that far, but indeed they hadn't spoken much.

Like today, putting herself at risk for him was truly beyond Zheng Fa's expectations.

Elder Yuan and Master Pang both widened their eyes, looking at Junior Master Huang, their expressions somewhat cautious, as if they thought Junior Master Huang might explode at any moment.

Junior Master Huang's expression remained calm, as if she hadn't done anything significant; after a moment, she spread her palm, and the Nine Nether Talisman appeared again.

"No problem, it can go in and out, and seemingly has no impact on my Divine Soul."

Zheng Fa nodded. At this point, though not entirely at ease, he had done all the precautions he could.

Otherwise, there is no other way.

If things go wrong, he can only trust in the protection of the Yin Yang Jade Pendant on his Divine Soul and the Fusang Wood Dao Fruit within his body.

"Junior Sister... You this..." Master Pang couldn't help saying, "is a bit too risky."

Junior Master Huang looked up, glanced at Zheng Fa, her expression complicated, before turning her gaze to Senior Sister Zhang; her tone was somewhat cold, yet laced with helplessness: "If something happens to Zheng Fa, what will happen to Wuyi?"

"..."

At this moment, everyone understood Junior Master Huang's reasoning:

Given the current relationship between Senior Sister Zhang and Zheng Fa, if something unexpected happened to Zheng Fa, Senior Sister Zhang would certainly be affected.

To ensure Senior Sister Zhang's safety, Zheng Fa's safety must first be ensured, thus someone must try the Nine Nether Talisman.

Yes, preferably someone who's not afraid of death.

There is reason in this, but Junior Master Huang is indeed... stubbornly fixated.

Senior Sister Zhang slightly lowered her eyes, as if unsure of what to say.

Zheng Fa, beside himself, was slightly moved... Junior Master Huang, though hard to deal with normally, indeed steps up in times of need!

This character, being ignored by her before was somewhat uncomfortable.

But once she considers you her own, it provides an overwhelming sense of security.

This kind of "mother-in-law" is truly great!

Senior Sister Zhang, with such a Master, scores high in the marriage market!

...

Zheng Fa put away the Nine Nether Talisman, then took out the "Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation."

Now, this Cultivation Technique had been partly written:
