Chapter 877
After sending a message to Tong Yunshu, Yang Fei did not immediately return to the room where Zhuge Cang was, but walked toward Wang Chunyang.
"Brother Wang." Yang Fei greeted Wang Chunyang.
Wang Chunyang snorted, "I said last time, you should consider me and Wang Lei as brothers, so you should call me Uncle Wang, or I might even be older than your parents, so you should call me Uncle Wang."
Yang Fei smiled and said, "But both you and Senior Brother Helian have received guidance and help from my master, and you acknowledge this relationship, so we are indeed brothers."
Wang Chunyang snorted, "Mr. Huang did indeed guide me and Helian Zhan, but officially, we did not become his disciples. Helian Zhan is still a member of the Qingtian Sect, and I, being from the Langya Wang Family, will not join other sects or factions, as agreed with Mr. Huang long ago."
Seeing his insistence on this, Yang Fei didn't persist on the matter and became a bit more cautious of him inside.
He shifted the topic and asked, "Then I'll call you Senior."
Wang Chunyang was quite pleased with this and nodded.
Yang Fei said, "How do you feel about the Divine Continent after entering the secular world, Senior?" My Virtual Library Empire (M V L E M P Y R) appreciates your readership at the source.
Wang Chunyang was puzzled, "Why ask this suddenly?"
Yang Fei smiled, "I want to know if you're adapting to the spiritual energy environment of the Divine Continent. Through your perceptions, we can roughly judge if others from the Hidden Sect find it easy to adapt to modern life."
Wang Chunyang pondered for a moment and said, "Relatively speaking, the spiritual energy concentration in other places of the Divine Continent is indeed a bit thin, but because of your setup of this Gathering Spirit Array, the spiritual energy concentration in Jiangbei County is actually higher than most places in the Hidden Sect. I and others like Helian Zhan feel quite comfortable living in Jiangbei County.
Moreover, we've recently experienced many technological conveniences of the secular world and feel that living a simple life might actually be happier and more exciting in the secular world compared to the Hidden Sect world.
The Hidden Sect is similar to the feudal era, with zero technology and a lack of entertainment. Living in such a place indeed misses out on a lot of enjoyment."
Hearing this, Yang Fei was secretly delighted and straightforwardly said, "So, it seems like people from the Hidden Sect can easily accept the modern lifestyle after fully integrating into the secular world."
Wang Chunyang nodded, "Most will adapt and even like it. But for those pursuing stronger martial arts, they may be less satisfied, as the secular world's glamour might affect the cultivation of the Dao Heart."
Yang Fei laughed heartily, "That's true, cultivation is a tough thing, often requiring endurance of loneliness. There aren't many pleasures in the Hidden Sect world, so one can endure it, but after entering the world, the external temptations and influences are indeed much more, causing many martial artists without enough willpower to neglect cultivation."
Wang Chunyang was quite interested in this topic and frowned, "Most importantly, once those from the Hidden Sect witness the power of technological hot weapons, they might feel that decades of hard cultivation can't withstand an ordinary person with a gun, making martial arts seem not worth it. Over time, there might be fewer and fewer martial artists."
Yang Fei laughed, "Isn't that better?"
Wang Chunyang gave Yang Fei a disdainful glance and coldly snorted, "Shortsighted!"
Yang Fei was taken aback and was a bit displeased, "How am I shortsighted? With fewer martial artists, that fighting spirit will fade, and there will be less conflict, making society more harmonious."
Wang Chunyang coldly snorted, "That's why I say you're shortsighted. If a nation's people lose their fighting spirit, it's a very dangerous thing. Ultimately, humans are still animals, and the essence of animals is our body. Without a strong body, we will become weaker with each generation. In case of war, do you think modern weapons can solve everything?"
Yang Fei thought for a moment and said, "Modern warfare can indeed solve everything, without the need for people to fight and bleed on the battlefield."
Wang Chunyang sneered, "You're too young, too naive. Kid, remember my words, no matter how the times change, real wars ultimately depend on people, on who is tougher."
Yang Fei didn't care about this and said, "No matter how strong the physical fitness, it's vulnerable in the face of powerful nuclear weapons."
Wang Chunyang was speechless.
He really couldn't refute this point.
After witnessing the power of nuclear weapons, he knew Yang Fei was right; most martial artists would surely die when faced with powerful hot weapons.
But he understood clearly in his heart that powerful hot weapons do not represent everything. Once a war escalates to a certain point, as long as it's not a mutual destruction strategy, nuclear weapons will stop being used, and by then, it will still depend on people.
Therefore, for a national character to be passed down, people are the fundamental.
Maintaining and improving the physical quality of the nation is crucial.
This kid may be extraordinarily gifted in martial arts, medical skills, and formations, but in some areas, he's too superficial, and Wang didn't want to argue further with him.
Soon, Tong Yunshu arrived.
Yang Fei said to Wang Chunyang, "Senior, I have things to handle, see you."
Wang Chunyang responded with a "hmm" and turned to leave.
Since this kid has a special means to isolate from the outside, even if I wanted to eavesdrop, I couldn't hear anything. Staying here would only let this kid look down on me.
Tong Yunshu said to Yang Fei, "Weren't you treating Helian Rong? Is she healed?"
Yang Fei replied, "She is healed. Let's go, I'll introduce you to someone."
When Tong Yunshu heard that Helian Rong's life-threatening condition was cured, she was secretly happy for her. Seeing that Yang Fei wanted to introduce someone to her, she couldn't help but ask, "Who?"
Yang Fei said, "I'll introduce you to a master."
"A master?" Tong Yunshu was stunned and then responded with disapproval, "If I don't understand something, I can completely ask you. Why do I need a master?"
Yang Fei smiled, "You overestimate me. I haven't delved deeply into Rune Tao and formations, but your talent is exceptional, and this talent definitely shouldn't be wasted."
When Tong Yunshu heard it was about Rune Tao and formations, she became spirited.
When Yang Fei said her talent in Rune Tao was amazing, she was very happy because Qin Yanyang didn't understand it at all, and Yunwu Mountain's Base was so important to the Divine Continent. She thought if she could grow in Rune Tao and formations, and even surpass Yang Fei, Yunwu Mountain's Array would need her greatly.
Quickly, Yang Fei brought Tong Yunshu to Zhuge Cang.
This time, he did not activate the Four Symbols Formation.
Before, activating the Four Symbols Formation was, firstly, to give Zhuge Cang a show of strength, to let him know that he was also skilled in this area; secondly, to intimidate Wang Chunyang, since that guy even tried to eavesdrop, not taking him seriously at all.
Now that Wang Chunyang has left, and considering Yang Fei believed his Divine Thought was strong, even if someone wanted to peek at the situation here, it couldn't escape his perception, so it was unnecessary to activate the Four Symbols Formation.
Zhuge Cang saw that Yang Fei brought a young and beautiful woman, and his brows furrowed, "A woman?"
Yang Fei said, "Senior, you're underestimating women. She's my woman, extraordinarily talented in Rune Tao, much more than me. As for formations, she hasn't truly delved into it yet, but I believe with her extraordinary talent in Rune Tao, her future achievements in formations will not be low. It depends on whether Senior is willing to impart your knowledge."
Seeing Yang Fei speak like this, Zhuge Cang became slightly curious.
He highly appreciated Yang Fei's talent in Rune Tao and formations, and didn't expect Yang Fei to say Tong Yunshu's talent was even higher, which piqued his interest.
After glancing at Tong Yunshu a few times, he asked, "Have you studied Rune Tao?"
Tong Yunshu shook her head and said, "Yang Fei has told me some, but I've only touched it for half a year."
Zhuge Cang was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this. Even with talent, he didn't have much patience to teach a beginner.
But since Yang Fei recommended her to him, and she was Yang Fei's woman, refusing outright felt a bit inappropriate, so he asked, "One hundred and fifty-seven runes, how many do you know?"
Yang Fei and Tong Yunshu were both startled, and exclaimed in unison, "Isn't it one hundred and eight runes? How did it become one hundred and fifty-seven?"
