Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World

But the Hundred Immortals Alliance is a complicated force, with far more people than these disciples, and under the demand for comprehensive data, the burden on them is quite heavy.

Therefore, Zheng Fa repeatedly reminded.

"Every piece of investigative data can be transmitted to the Comprehensive Records," Zheng Fa added, "Zhang and I will organize it."

"Spirit land or spiritual materials..."

Zheng Fa reiterated a few key points, and Master Pang nodded repeatedly, then turned to the disciples behind him and said:

"With the Comprehensive Records transmitting information, I have decided that until the Hundred Immortals census is completed, I will not return to the sect!"

Zheng Fa was taken aback.

This investigation's duration is unknown, but Master Pang is being quite harsh.

"Additionally, the Sect Leader may be softhearted, but I am not," he said sternly, "If anyone is careless or neglectful, regardless of who you are, I will severely punish."

As he said this, Master Pang's eyes were fixed on Sun Daoyu and others.

"If you were not my disciple, at most, I would hand you over to the Sect Leader for punishment. But if you are my disciple..."

"Don't blame me for disregarding our mentor-student relationship."

When he finished speaking, the faces of Sun Daoyu and others turned pale.

Zheng Fa was speechless too—he finally realized that the previous motivation they stirred up in Master Pang made him place extreme importance on this investigation, to the point of being somewhat obsessive.

It's not bad, per se, just quite intimidating.

...

Seeing them leave, Zheng Fa turned his head and saw Junior Master Huang standing behind him, seemingly with something to say.

"Master?"

He was a bit puzzled.

"You should seek out Wuyi more often."

"Huh?"

This Master... doesn't mean that, right?

"Your cultivation doesn't just concern yourself," Junior Master Huang's tone was serious yet somewhat earnest, "It also concerns our Jiushan Sect."

…Now Zheng Fa was certain, Junior Master Huang did mean that!

This Master had turned into a matchmaker... even more frightening!

"This matter isn't just my opinion, it's also your Master Pang's, and I believe even your Master thinks the same." Junior Master Huang looked at Zheng Fa and urged again, "You must do your best!"

Now, Zheng Fa was truly certain... he and Zhang had overly motivated these two masters.

They're both starting to urge him and Zhang into dual cultivation!

To be fair, the idea wasn't entirely wrong—now Zheng Fa's cultivation not only concerned the safety of Jiushan Sect but also whether Jiushan Sect could achieve the plan of fifty Nascent Souls in fifty years...

It really couldn't be considered just his personal matter anymore.

Seeing Junior Master Huang slowly walking away.

Zheng Fa scratched his head and walked back to Ten Thousand Immortals Island.

He glanced at Zhang's small courtyard, hesitated for a moment, and decided to go home first.

But as soon as he entered, he was stunned:

"Senior Sister?"

Zhang was sitting in the small pavilion in Zheng Fa's courtyard, reading a book.

Zhang looked up.

Her expression was somewhat speechless: "My courtyard was... given to Junior Sister Yuan by my Master."

"..."

Honestly, Zheng Fa regretted motivating these two masters so much.

He even felt unwilling—being forced into dual cultivation, Junior Master Huang's actions made him feel weird, even suffocated as if being rushed.

But this couldn't be blamed on Senior Sister, so he moved closer and curiously asked, "Senior Sister, what are you reading?"

"My Master sought the Blood River Ancestor for a Secret Technique from the Demon Sect," Zhang turned both hands as if not willing for Zheng Fa to see, but still explained, "It's said to be created by the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor..."

"It brings ultimate pleasure, and it's one of the best in the Xuanwei Realm, renowned far and wide."

"Even the Su Nu Pavilion is seeking this cultivation method at any cost."

...Does it have such effects?

Junior Master Huang was really reliable in his actions!

Zheng Fa stared at the small book for a long time and then sighed:

"Senior Sister, while Master Pang is working hard outside, we... should also contribute what we can for the fifty-year grand plan."

"..." Zhang stared at his face, not speaking, and after a long while, quietly said,

"Pshaw."
