Chapter 334 New Look of Paradise, Old People in Jiushan
The style of the forum is a bit biased...
At the beginning, everyone didn’t quite understand the secret of anonymity. When they heard about Zhou Qianyuan, they were told the truth offline - he must have been holding back too much at the time and didn’t think much of what he said.
But those who can get the Tongjian are considered the elites of the Nine Mountains Sect, and there are still fewer fools.
Soon, most people's waistcoats were no longer visible.
"Senior sister, what are you doing?"
Senior Sister Zhang was leaning in the small pavilion in her courtyard, with a relaxed look on her face, and her fingers were tapping on her Tongjian, just like a girl addicted to the Internet.
"answer the questions."
Senior Sister Zhang didn't even raise her head and continued to indulge in the forum.
Zheng Fa was actually a little disappointed.
Seeing her like this, Zheng Fa felt a little curious. His consciousness was immersed in the Jade Certificate of Creation, and he immediately discovered what the idiot Senior Sister Zhang was doing——
Although she was wearing a vest, it was too obvious.
In the forum, in addition to some random gossip posts, there are also many people asking questions.
Among them, the most requests for help are related to mathematics:
Mathematics is now regarded as one of the foundations of the Nine Mountains Sect's Immortal Technique. All disciples know that this subject is extremely important. However, on the other hand, too many disciples are overwhelmed by this thing and their Taoist hearts collapse.
Among all the Q&A posts on the Jiushan Forum, there are the most posts about mathematical problems.
In order to encourage his disciples to solve problems with each other, Zheng Fa set up a reward system, or a scoring function - that is, the disciple who asked the question had to pay good deeds for the answer he was satisfied with, but it was not much. In essence, the honor was greater than the reality.
But in the past two days, a devourer of good deeds has appeared under this type of post, and it seems that big people can make a fortune from this type of post:
An anonymous user, single-handedly, solved more than 90% of the math problems in the forum.
Even day and night, I never tire of it.
The only thing that prevents this person from getting rich is that after receiving good deeds, he actually selects a few posts and returns the good deeds tenfold or a hundredfold...
The topics in the selected posts tend to be difficult or relatively new.
This anonymous user seems to be picking through these math problems and then eating them together... If there is a question that satisfies her, she will also give a reward or two.
Zheng Fa doesn’t even have to think about who this person is...
Zheng Fa looked at Senior Sister Zhang with a somewhat nostalgic look:
...She still likes to answer questions so much.
He still felt a little guilty in his heart. He had been coming to Jiushan Sect for a few years. When he first came, he would submit some difficult questions every month. Later, he became busier and busier, and he actually neglected it...
No.
Zheng Fa suddenly remembered that it was not that he was negligent, but that a long time ago, Senior Sister Zhang suddenly said that she didn't like it anymore.
Now it seems that she doesn't like it.
Senior Sister Zhang was originally obsessed with solving problems, but she seemed to feel Zheng Fa's gaze and raised her head to look at him.
Seeing Zheng Fa's complicated expression, Senior Sister Zhang seemed to understand what he was thinking all of a sudden and tilted her head as if she was thinking about what to say.
"You're very busy."
"..."
Zheng Fa knew that she was explaining why she lied to herself that she didn't like it.
He also understands that the identities of the two have been changing, and naturally they will not maintain the previous pattern.
"I really don't like this that much anymore..."
Senior Sister Zhang pointed at Tongjian again, probably referring to the math problems in Tongjian.
Seeing that he didn't seem to believe it, Senior Sister Zhang said again:
"This is my pastime when I'm bored..."
She paused and then said:
"After you came, I wasn't so bored anymore."
Zheng Fa looked at Senior Sister Zhang who had a serious look on his face, and suddenly felt that even though his jade certificate was still several prehistoric times away from the legendary treasure... But at this moment, it seemed to be worth it.
…
"I don't know if such simplification is worth it."
On Paradise Island, Mrs. Xuanhua said to Zheng Fa.
When she said this, she was looking at the round golden elixir above her head, her face full of uncertainty.
This golden elixir floats in the air, tens of meters above the ground. It is golden, like a small sun, lighting up the misty night of Paradise Island.
Zheng Fa also looked at this simplified Shenxiao Golden Pill, or rather... it was the first nuclear reactor in the Nine Mountains Realm.
The reactions in golden elixir are divided into fusion, fission and mixing.
The last step of mixing, according to Zheng Fa, is to fuse the generated particles with the five elements aura.
To simplify the golden elixir, it is a nuclear reactor with only fusion and fission, which is used purely as energy.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mrs. Xuanhua."
Zheng Fa's gratitude was truly sincere - whether it was the jade ultimatum of good fortune or the simplified golden elixir, Mrs. Xuanhua always took the greatest credit.
"This is not difficult." Mrs. Xuanhua waved her hands. She didn't seem to care about the simplified golden elixir. She brought up the topic of whether it was worth it and said, "It's just... After all, this thing also cost a lot of resources. For the mortals of Paradise Island?"
This kind of doubt is not only shared by Mrs. Xuanhua, but also by the disciples who make the simplified golden elixir, and even by every disciple of the Jiushan Sect.
Zheng Fa motioned her to look into the distance.
The location of Simplified Golden Elixir is right in the center of Paradise Island.
From the perspective of Mrs. Xuanhua, Paradise Island seems to have turned into a firework - from the center to the edge of Paradise Island, street lamps light up one after another, lighting up the villages on the island. .
As a real Nascent Soul, Mrs. Xuanhua could even hear the admiration and cheers coming from those villages.
She pursed her lips, as if she understood what Zheng Fa meant, but she still had a look of disdain on her face.
Zheng Fa also understood that Madam Xuanhua had a different personality from himself, and she hardly considered what ordinary people were like.
He did not force everyone to think the same as he did.
Zheng Fa waved to Madam Xuanhua, and the two walked towards Zheng Fa's home, one in front and one behind.
As they walked, Zheng Fa suddenly talked about something:
"When I first entered the sect, I met a senior brother named Zhuang."
Madam Xuanhua looked puzzled, but she still listened quietly.
"He asked me a question back then."
At that time, Zheng Fa had just entered the Jiushan Sect and went to the Lunfu Pavilion for class for the first time - and then he was treated differently by Senior Brother Zhuang.
As time passed, he actually no longer cared about this matter.
But he always remembered Senior Brother Zhuang's question.
"He asked me, when spiritual energy is abundant, most mortals cannot practice, and cannot enjoy the power and convenience given by spiritual energy."
"But when spiritual energy declines, most of them pay the price."
"So he thought... spiritual energy, or cultivators, are the poison of Xuanwei Realm?"
Mrs. Xuanhua retorted: "How can this be compared? How can a god-transforming person be the same as a mortal?"
Zheng Fa nodded slightly, as if agreeing with her words, but did not say anything.
The two walked towards Zheng Fa's yard in silence.
There are street lights on in the villages along the way.
"Street lights" are actually a very cheap "Tongjian".
To put it simply, it is a signal receiver.
The Nine Mountains Realm is different from the modern world after all - it has spiritual energy.
In modern nuclear reactors, energy storage and conversion, most of the ideas are actually "boiling water", and transmission is naturally also through wires.
But the Nine Mountains Realm is different.
The spiritual energy interference in the Nine Mountains Realm has led to too high a cost for wired transmission.
On average, a set of shielding runes is needed every five meters...
The consumption of this spiritual material is too much.
But the Nine Mountains Realm has special advantages, and the immortal cultivators can easily do things that modern technology cannot do - such as almost lossless radio wave transmission.
The more Zheng Fa studied the communication talisman, the more magical it felt:
In order to ensure the stability of information, the electromagnetic waves in the communication talisman are lossless during the transmission process...
So, today's Jiushan street lights are actually relying on variant communication talismans to spread light.
In this way, the street lights on the Paradise Island only need to analyze the communication talisman, and even the light is the electromagnetic wave generated by the golden elixir...
In other words, the street lights in the Nine Mountains Realm not only do not need wires, but they don't even need to emit light by themselves, so they don't even have light-emitting components.
This thing has extremely low cost and a very long service life.
Zheng Fa took Madam Xuanhua to the gate of his yard.
In the yard, the laughter of his younger sister Zheng Shan came:
"Mom! This light is so bright!"
The younger sister was talking about a street lamp at the gate of the yard.
To be honest, this is considered partiality...
Or, it is the careful thinking of those disciples when planning the street lights.
After all, street lights are not without cost, so now there are no street lights in the house, but it is also very particular to be close to which house.
Look, there is a street light at the entrance of Zheng's courtyard...
What happened is indisputable, no one is surprised, it happened naturally.
Zheng Fa knew this long ago, he did not stop it, nor did he want to stop it-he cared about everyone in the Nine Mountains, but the ones he cared about most were naturally his relatives and friends.
So he did not refute Madam Xuanhua.
The two walked into the courtyard and saw Zheng's mother standing in the courtyard, squinting her eyes and looking at the street lights outside the courtyard.
The street light was very bright, illuminating Zheng's mother's face.
The hard work in the early years made Zheng's mother's face wrinkled.
Even though Zheng Fa had been teaching her martial arts, Zheng's mother did not make fast progress... It was not just a matter of talent, but the education she and Zheng Fa, and even her younger sister Zheng Shan, received since childhood was different.
When facing many things, she always has the idea that she is not good enough, and she doesn't even have much curiosity. Sometimes, when Zheng Fa talks to others about cultivating immortals, she will consciously leave.
In fact, she feels that cultivating immortals is far away from her and is beyond her reach.
In Zheng Fa's opinion, this is the easiest way to prevent people from making progress.
Today, the wrinkles on Zheng's mother's face are somewhat relaxed, and she looks at the street lamp with rare curiosity.
"Is this... a lamp?"
She asked Zheng Fa.
Zheng Fa nodded.
"It's so bright... much brighter than a candle," Zheng's mother asked again, "How is this thing made?"
Zheng Fa was not impatient because Zheng's mother had no cultivation, but explained softly what a golden elixir was and what a simplified golden elixir was.
Zheng's mother also listened more seriously than usual.
After a long time, Zheng's mother slowly nodded.
"Cultivating immortals is a good thing."
Madam Xuanhua was a little puzzled. Who doesn't know that cultivating immortals is good?
Did Zheng Fa's mother know it today?
Unexpectedly, Zheng's mother slowly counted on her fingers and said:
"The grain production is more than before."
"There are more vegetables than before."
She looked at the several acres of vegetable garden in the corner of the yard and said with a smile.
Then, she looked at the street lights in the sky.
"The lights are brighter than before."
Zheng Fa listened to Zheng's mother's evaluation without looking at Madam Xuanhua, but Madam Xuanhua inexplicably understood one thing-
Sometimes, Zheng Fa might feel that these few words from Zheng's mother are worth it.
But the goodness of Zheng's mother is different from the goodness of cultivating immortals that she had understood before, and she couldn't explain the difference.
If Zheng Fa were to explain it, it would probably be - money is a good thing, science is also a good thing, but these two things are good in different ways.
...
Mrs. Xuanhua said goodbye to Zheng Fa and the other two, and walked from Paradise Island to Wanxian Island.
Somehow, she always noticed some things that she never noticed in the past -
After a day of hard work, several farmers were moving small stools to sit under the lights, enjoying their rare leisure time.
There was a young man who didn't look rich, standing under the street light, holding a textbook from the school, and reading quietly.
The fields had also become different. Some lights were installed in several experimental fields, and several agricultural students stood in them, seemingly recording something:
Mrs. Xuanhua knew that this was a new project set up by Zheng Fa, which seemed to explore the impact of light on many crops in the Nine Mountains Realm, in order to further increase the grain production in the Nine Mountains Realm.
As she walked, she suddenly understood why Zheng Fa mentioned that Senior Brother Zhuang:
In response to Senior Brother Zhuang's question, her answer was to refute.
Zheng Fa's answer was now these-
Spiritual energy and cultivators, in the Xuanwei Realm, may be the source of suffering for mortals.
But it was different in the Jiushan Realm.
She stopped lightly and looked in the direction of Zheng Fa's house. She didn't know which answer was more realistic, but she knew which answer could convince the cultivator named Zhuang more.
…
The simplified golden elixir not only changed the appearance of Le Tu Island, but also Jingkai Island.
Compared with the simple street lights on Le Tu Island, the changes on Jingkai Island are much more exaggerated-many storefronts have become colorful, and the signs are even more dazzling.
The light in the store is designed very skillfully, and when it shines on the goods, the cultivators who come here for the first time always stop unconsciously and can't help opening their storage bags.
In fact, there are many stores of some major sects with these "special effects" in the past.
But there is no place like Jingkai Island. Even the shops opened by mortals can be so gorgeous and exquisite. Hundreds of shops together reflect the gentle night sky, which makes the eyes of cultivators who have never seen such scenery become insufficient.
Jingkai Island has been thriving these days:
Business people yearn for stability the most... Now that the Xuanwei Realm is gradually in chaos, the news of the Demon Ancestor's arrival is spreading everywhere, making people panic. The stability of the Jiushan Realm now is naturally precious.
On the other hand, the reputation of the external pill is getting bigger and bigger, especially some foundation-building cultivators, who are even willing to spend their fortunes to buy one to improve their strength.
Now the Jiushan Sect even has to limit the sale of external pills - the output is about one per month.
People on Jingkai Island are popular walking in the flowing lights and shadows. When the situation in the Xuanwei Realm is becoming more and more tense, they can feel the long-lost prosperous scene.
"Is this the Jiushan Sect?"
A woman looked around with interest and suddenly asked the man next to her.
The man nodded.
"Why would you betray this sect?" The woman's eyes widened. "Do you think your life is too comfortable?"
Chen Ting twitched his lips and looked at the bright lights on Jingkai Island. His expression seemed to be from another world -
When I defected from Jiushan Sect, it didn't look like this!
