Madam Xuanhua pointed her finger at the side, directing it towards Xiao Yuying.
Zheng Fa: ...
The Yuan Magnetic Dao Body, terrifying indeed!
Xiao Yuying, however, pointed at the data and said, "I can only feel these things, but I don’t really understand them."
Zheng Fa nodded gently, understanding her meaning—while the sensitivity of the Yuan Magnetic Dao Body is extremely high, asking Xiao Yuying to explain it would be too much of a burden.
The data contained her sensations:
For instance, it indicated how strong the thunderous power was in a certain area, roughly equivalent to which kind of thunder technique it was produced by...
In simpler terms, it referred to the strength of the electromagnetic waves in the surrounding space after the collision of electrons and samples.
As for what that represented...
Xiao Yuying naturally didn’t understand.
Zheng Fa didn’t understand either.
But... someone in modern times does!
...
"Director Zheng, I've had someone process the experimental data you provided, but..." Team Leader Yang's expression was strange as he looked at Zheng Fa, "That person wants to know how such detailed yet primitive experimental data came about..."
Zheng Fa looked up at the sky.
The Yuan Magnetic Dao Body, I don’t understand it either!
"What did they say?"
Old Bai, standing nearby, asked.
"They said they've never seen anyone who could afford an electron microscope but not a computer..."
"…"
That must be blamed on Senior Sister Zhang's incomplete evolution.
Team Leader Yang merely asked out of curiosity, and seeing Zheng Fa unwilling to elaborate, he changed the subject: "Director Zheng, the Jiushan Martial Arts School has summarized the first set of popular martial arts. Do you have time to take a look?"
Zheng Fa nodded, "Have the apprentices from those martial arts schools come to the nursing home for a visit."
"Sure!" Team Leader Yang replied with a smile, heading outside as if to make arrangements.
...
At this moment, Old Bai finally spoke up, "We can also conduct this testing data at our nursing home, right?"
Zheng Fa understood what Old Bai meant—checking the products of the Shenxiao Golden Elixir could indeed be done in modern times.
After all, Zheng Fa had the Shenxiao Golden Elixir, and modern technology had perfected electron microscopes.
The reason he handed Xiao Yuying's test results to Team Leader Yang was actually to see if there was any difference between the Shenxiao external elixir and the golden elixir within himself.
After all, one was refined in a cauldron, while the other was produced by himself, and he also had a Fusang tree inside him...
Who knows if the two are completely identical? Science is an incredibly precise field; one cannot make assumptions...
"By the way, can your golden elixir really generate matter out of thin air?"
Tang Mudao stared at Zheng Fa, seemingly still in disbelief.
Zheng Fa smiled, his consciousness stirring, and the golden elixir within him flew straight up above the nursing home.
The entire nursing home was illuminated brightly.
As Zheng Fa's mind moved, suddenly a block that resembled neither iron nor stone flew out from the golden elixir.
"What is this..."
"Products of the golden elixir."
Since he had yet to begin refining his innate magical treasure, the particles produced by this golden elixir were casually mixed into a block, just to facilitate modern testing.
If it were someone else, they would naturally be reluctant—ordinary golden elixirs have limited qi, and every particle produced needs to be meticulously calculated for the creation of innate magical treasures.
But Zheng Fa... a qi tycoon!
This little bit was nothing to him.
Old Bai, upon hearing this, looked at the block and smacked his lips, exclaiming, "Given time, you won't end up giving birth to a Sun Wukong, will you..."
"I won't give birth to a Sun Wukong, but... I really do want to grow a Fusang tree."
Zheng Fa replied casually.
"Huh?"
Everyone looked at Zheng Fa in confusion, not understanding why he said that.
"I want to see if I can grow a Fusang tree."
"This thing... is from mythology, right? How do you grow it?"
Old Bai asked, bewildered.
Since it was brought up, Zheng Fa began to share his thoughts: "Previously, when I achieved the Qingyang Dao Body, didn’t I gain an extra organelle in my cells?"
"I remember."
Old Bai and the others nodded.
They had all checked their own cells back then and vividly remembered the abnormalities in Zheng Fa's cells.
"Later, didn’t we also examine the cells of that pea seedling?"
"Yeah..."
Old Bai's expression gradually changed.
It seemed he understood Zheng Fa's meaning.
"Is the structure in my cells similar to the structure in that pea seedling's cells?"
Old Bai raised his hand, covering his head, stopping Zheng Fa from continuing, "Wait a minute."
"I get what you mean... You want to use your cells and fuse them with other plant cells, oh, especially mulberry tree cells, to see if you can create a Fusang tree?"
Zheng Fa smiled, "Professor Bai, you grasp things really quickly!"
Old Bai fell silent for a moment, then suddenly looked at his old partner, Teacher Tian, "I’m not good at biology, but isn’t there reproductive isolation between humans and trees?"
"…"
Teacher Tian nodded silently.
"Then humans shouldn’t... at least shouldn’t... think about having offspring with trees, right?"
Old Bai's tone became even stranger.
"Uh..."
Everyone looked at Zheng Fa as if he were a freak.
Zheng Fa: "I'm doing this for the sake of science..."
Old Bai rolled his eyes, "Having achieved the golden elixir, you really think you're something special, acting so brazenly!"
...
After the jokes, Teacher Tian nodded and said, "You want to use protoplast fusion technology?"
"Exactly... or rather, I want to see if I can transplant that spiritual organelle from my cells into a plant."
Zheng Fa's idea indeed stemmed from the spiritual structure in that pea.
It was also because he had recently learned about protoplast fusion; otherwise, he wouldn’t have such bizarre thoughts...
If the roots of heaven and earth could be considered a type of spiritual plant, then there should be similar structures in the cells.
Could this structure be the same as that in his Qingyang Dao Body?
This was the reason Zheng Fa wanted to transcend humanity.
"This is very difficult... Animal cells and plant cells are too different. To succeed, you might need to extract that organelle from your cells separately. I still need to think of a way; I’ll have to ask others."
Zheng Fa nodded; this idea indeed seemed like a wild fantasy.
On the other hand, his understanding of the roots of heaven and earth was insufficient; he didn’t even know if such things could be classified as spiritual plants...
So, he had always wanted to get a couple of leaves from the person of the Empty Realm to take a look.
"This method is, of course, a last resort. The conventional approach is still to plant more mulberry trees in Hongshan," Zheng Fa said, "If they can grow naturally, that would be even better."
After all, the spiritual energy in Hongshan contains the symbols produced by the Fusang tree in his body... who knows, it might mutate like that pea.
To create a Fusang tree in the Xuanwei realm would be an astonishing feat.
He had to try every possible method...
...
Zheng Fa took the block produced by his Shenxiao Golden Elixir and dove into the laboratory with Tang Mudaodao.
Outside, Old Bai suddenly cast a sympathetic glance at Tang Lingwu.
Tang Lingwu: ?
"I see in those cultivation novels... the male protagonist not only attracts the favor of fairies but also faces temptations from demonesses." Old Bai said slowly, "What’s more, there are even female spirits competing and getting jealous."
Tang Lingwu gradually pressed her lips together tightly.
"Humans and animals are one thing, but now Zheng Fa wants to have children with trees. Your competition is just too broad!"
"…"
Tang Lingwu frowned, wanting to cry but having no tears.
Old Bai patted Tang Lingwu's shoulder with a sigh, feeling very sympathetic.

Chapter 325: Speculations on Spells, Lacking Insight
Outside, Tang Lingwu was feeling dejected, while in the laboratory, Tang Mudaodao and Zheng Fa were equally occupied.
Tang Mudaodao sat in front of the computer, staring at the image of the golden elixir product under the electron microscope.
Zheng Fa's approach was rather peculiar.
He stood beside, gesturing in the air—he was drawing the two shielding symbols to prevent the spiritual energy in Hongshan from interfering with the electron microscope and computer.
In simpler terms, casting a spell to boost the computer...
This was one of the biggest issues after achieving the golden elixir—Hongshan was filled with spiritual energy, rendering various electronic devices unusable, which was extremely inconvenient.
Now, Zheng Fa wouldn’t use the Ling Mountain technique except during everyone’s training sessions.
Currently, he hadn’t stopped using the Ling Mountain technique mainly to see if the spiritual materials in a spiritual energy environment had any special properties.
His actions made Tang Mudaodao glance back at him from time to time, unable to resist commenting, "So, we’ve finally reached the stage of jumping around in the lab?"
"…"
Zheng Fa wanted to retort, but after thinking it over, he realized he didn’t know much about materials science and wasn’t very good with the electron microscope.
He held back!
