Chapter 265
Zheng Fa glanced at Tang Lingwu, who seemed to have an epiphany, and felt that this was probably what Tang Mu Dao was saying to her.
It seemed she had sensed something.
……
The next day.
Zheng Fa looked at Tang Lingwu with curiosity. The girl was sitting in front of the computer, covering her eyes, seemingly afraid to look at the screen.
“I was searching for research tips online and learned some methods,” Tang Lingwu turned her head, deliberately avoiding the computer screen. “Someone said you shouldn’t look at the computer, or it might get scared and not give you the right data.”
Wait, is that what you figured out?
“...And what else?”
“Oh, some people bow to their computers... I haven’t tried that yet.”
“...That’s not necessary.”
Not just Zheng Fa, even Tang Mu Dao beside him was a bit speechless. “Xiao Tang, we still need to be grounded...”
Just then, a notification sound rang out.
Tang Lingwu suddenly turned her head to look at the screen. “We have results!”
“Ah?”
“Let me see, this is a comparison of the special electromagnetic signals from the Jingzhe day...” After clicking around on the computer, Tang Lingwu summarized, “This signal only appeared on Jingzhe day, and there are dozens of records from five observation stations.”
Zheng Fa and Tang Mu Dao were taken aback and stepped forward to look at the screen together.
Finding a needle in a haystack is indeed difficult, but once you find it, recognizing it is easy.
“So, this is the waveform of the Jingzhe thunder?” Tang Mu Dao asked, dazed.
“It’s a possible waveform. If there were no other special electromagnetic waves on Jingzhe day, then this is the most likely one!” Tang Lingwu smiled.
Another notification sound chimed in.
“What’s this?”
“Remember we studied a type of Lingmu thunder? I input its waveform into these records to see if there are any similarities, and now we’ve found it! This is the special electromagnetic wave from the Dazhu day!”
Tang Lingwu glanced at the computer again and smiled.
Zheng Fa felt a surge of excitement and looked at the still-working computer, suddenly struck by an idea—
What if I bow to it?
……
**Chapter 247: The Roadblock of Qingyun Great Sage**
Bowing was certainly unnecessary—perhaps it was luck, but over the next half month, Zheng Fa and his team measured six more types of special electromagnetic waves.
With the previous two, Zheng Fa now knew eight types of special waveforms, meaning he had grasped eight possible Lingmu thunders.
“The Lingmu thunder we studied earlier aligns with the special electromagnetic wave from the Dazhu solar term...” Old Bai said with a hint of satisfaction, “This indirectly validates your hypothesis, Zheng Fa.”
Zheng Fa wore a smile.
Indeed—the special electromagnetic wave from the Dazhu solar term is a type of Lingmu thunder, which greatly increases the likelihood that the special electromagnetic waves from the other twenty-three solar terms are related to Lingmu thunder.
“Unfortunately, we can’t verify it for now...” Teacher Tian sighed.
This matter... Zheng Fa had no way to think it through.
Verifying whether these special electromagnetic waves could nurture spiritual plants was quite difficult in modern times...
According to Zheng Fa’s hypothesis, if spiritual plants are formed through passive cultivation of plants, then the generation of spiritual plants likely requires certain time and conditions.
In modern times, there might not be enough time.
Secondly, the concentration of spiritual energy also seems insufficient.
Moreover, how many modern plants could even be cultivated into spiritual plants is still a question mark.
To verify this, they would probably need to go to the Xuanwei realm, or rather, the Tianbei realm would be better.
In fact, Zheng Fa already had a method for verification in mind—using the medicinal garden in the Tianbei realm.
In that garden, spiritual plants undergo twenty-four bursts of spiritual energy during their growth—Zheng Fa believed this was highly related to Lingmu thunder.
To be honest, verifying it was quite simple:
Zheng Fa could use the newly experimented Lingmu thunder, then compare the electromagnetic field changes it produced with those in the medicinal garden to see if the Lingmu thunder was effective.
The problem was how to measure such subtle electromagnetic field changes in the Tianbei realm...
A vision of a long-legged fairy appeared in his mind.
……
In the Tianbei realm, outside the Baibao Hall.
Senior Sister Yuan was still in the process of advancing, so only Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang entered the Tianbei realm. They had gathered quite a bit of Tian Gong, still over twenty thousand.
After exchanging for spiritual materials, Zheng Fa had just stepped out of the Baibao Hall when he encountered the person he had been thinking about—Xiao Yuying—who seemed to be waiting for him.
“Xiao Fairy?”
He looked at Xiao Yuying, a bit puzzled.
“I’m here to say goodbye,” Xiao Yuying said with a smile.
“Goodbye?”
“I probably can’t compete with you for the Tianbei anymore,” she said candidly. “Staying here would just be a waste of time.”
Zheng Fa was taken aback, not expecting her to give up so decisively.
Perhaps sensing his confusion, Xiao Yuying smiled. “Actually, everyone understands. Your name is rising higher and higher on the Tianbei, and the betting outside can’t continue... Those who haven’t left are just hoping to exchange for more spiritual materials in the Baibao Hall.”
“…”
“I don’t lack these things. If I could get the Tianbei, I would naturally want to compete again... But you just...”
Xiao Yuying shook her head, as if recalling the scene of Zheng Fa exchanging spiritual materials lavishly earlier.
Zheng Fa smiled a bit sheepishly.
Then Xiao Yuying said, “I plan to wander around some other places. Who knows, I might find some other treasures.”
“…”
The way she said it made it seem like there was no need to feel embarrassed...
She was far wealthier than him!
Zheng Fa thought for a moment. Indeed, while the Tianbei was precious, for Xiao Yuying, it seemed there was nothing particularly attractive here besides the Tianbei.
But...
Zheng Fa was still quite taken with her!
Xiao Yuying handed him a jade pendant and said, “I mentioned before that if anything happens with the Jiushan Sect, you can come find me...”
Zheng Fa glanced at Senior Sister Zhang, who remained silent.
Her expression was a bit cold.
Xiao Yuying, however, seemed oblivious, placing the jade pendant in Zheng Fa’s palm. “This still stands. If you need to find me, just input your spiritual energy into this jade pendant, and no matter how far away, I’ll sense it.”
Zheng Fa was taken aback, looking at the jade pendant—
This thing sounds like a pretty valuable artifact...
Xiao Yuying probably just wanted to say this and waved goodbye, walking out of the Tianbei realm with an air of nonchalance.
Zheng Fa’s gaze lingered on her retreating figure.
“What’s wrong?”
Senior Sister Zhang spoke softly, glancing at Zheng Fa.
“Senior Sister... What do you think Xiao Fairy likes?”
“…”
Senior Sister Zhang’s eyes were a bit cold.
“I was thinking of inviting her to study Lingmu thunder together, but now she’s just left?”
He pondered this for a long time, realizing that Xiao Yuying was indeed hard to impress.
She was too well-off, and her background was good. It wasn’t that she lacked desires.
It was just that the things she wanted were definitely beyond Zheng Fa’s reach...
After hearing Zheng Fa’s words, Senior Sister Zhang’s expression showed some contemplation as she looked in the direction Xiao Yuying had left.
……
Just as they returned to their base, Uncle Huang hurried over, his expression somewhat grave.
Zheng Fa exchanged glances with Senior Sister Zhang, knowing that there might be some bad news.
“Uncle Pang has sent a message.”
Uncle Huang didn’t elaborate. He pointed in the air, and a water screen appeared before them.
Uncle Pang’s figure was in the center of the water screen, beside him stood a tall, amiable-looking elder.
The two were in the grand hall of the Wulong Heavenly Palace, seemingly flying towards the Jiushan Sect.
The sound of Uncle Pang conversing with the elder came through the screen.
Uncle Pang respectfully said, “Master, my nephew sent word that the Qianhe Sect is in trouble, and the Yuling Sect is undergoing changes...”
The elder seemed to be Master Tongming, or rather, the spiritual treasure of Master Tongming.
His tone was a bit stiff, but there seemed to be some emotion as he sighed, “Our Hundred Immortals Alliance is already a loose collection of individuals, with only my true self as a transformation stage... If there weren’t external forces stirring things up, it wouldn’t be a big deal, but if there are...”
Uncle Pang fell silent for a moment before asking, “Then what do you plan to do, Master?”
Master Tongming was silent for a moment before saying:
“The Yuling Sect is like rotten meat; it’s best to scrape it off. It’s fine if these disloyal people jump out; whatever schemes they have are not a big deal—what’s most important is the Qingyun Great Sage. Your Jiushan Sect must not fall into chaos; if the Da Zizai Demon Sect emerges, that would be the true disaster for our Hundred Immortals Alliance.”
Zheng Fa nodded silently, realizing that Master Tongming had a clear perspective on the situation.
After all, the Xuanwei realm is a world where personal power reigns supreme.
Ultimately, without the Qingyun Great Sage, the issues with the Yuling Sect wouldn’t be insurmountable for a transformation stage cultivator.
The demon clan and the Da Zizai Demon Sect were merely trying to drive Zheng Fa and his group away from blocking their path.
