Chapter 390
Zheng Fa understood her meaning. With the threat of the Demon Ancestor looming, the value of offensive and defensive magical artifacts had risen significantly.
But...
“Senior Sister, this is the path I must take...” Zheng Fa paused for a moment before continuing, “The threat of the Demon Ancestor isn’t enough to make me change my course.”
Sister Zhang shook her head, no longer trying to persuade him. She said, “Madam Xuanhua has made several prototypes for you to look at.”
Zheng Fa followed Sister Zhang to University Island.
On the table in Madam Xuanhua's laboratory lay several prototypes. Upon seeing Zheng Fa, she pointed to them, a hint of pride on her face.
“According to your naming convention—this is Prototype One. The storage capacity isn’t sufficient; I later discovered it was a material issue. This type of jade isn’t suitable for storing information.”
“Prototype Two has the problem of not easily forming a spiritual energy circuit, meaning there’s a lack of spiritual energy.”
“Prototype Three struggles to integrate with other spiritual materials…”
Zheng Fa nodded as he listened, feeling quite grateful—Madam Xuanhua had clearly put in a lot of effort.
This life-bound magical artifact of his was based on modern designs and concepts, but its creation relied on Madam Xuanhua and Sister Zhang:
Sister Zhang was responsible for designing the spiritual energy circuits.
Madam Xuanhua handled the actual manufacturing experiments.
“In the end, Prototype Four is the most perfect one we’ve tested. The Yunsu Jade performs well in information storage, spiritual energy affinity, and integration with other spiritual materials…”
Madam Xuanhua waved her hand, seemingly indifferent to Zheng Fa’s gratitude, and pointed to the last prototype.
Zheng Fa looked at Prototype Four. It resembled a jade tablet, but its appearance was rather rough... after all, it was just an experimental model.
“The best part about Yunsu Jade is that it’s inexpensive!” Madam Xuanhua added.
“I’ve seen your design. For your life-bound spiritual treasure to function, it needs to work with what you call... a ‘mobile phone’?”
When she mentioned the term “mobile phone,” her expression was somewhat perplexed, as if she didn’t quite understand why Zheng Fa had chosen such a strange name.
“It’s just a random codename; it can be changed,” Zheng Fa replied, a bit awkwardly.
Madam Xuanhua didn’t mind and continued, “Although this mobile phone is simpler than your life-bound spiritual treasure, it will still require a lot of Yunsu Jade.”
Zheng Fa nodded lightly.
Having just a server wouldn’t suffice...
The mobile phone, or personal terminal, had to be promoted.
Otherwise, the significance of Zheng Fa transforming into a server would be lost.
According to the Tianhe Elder’s words, it was best not to use external spiritual materials to forge a life-bound spiritual treasure—meaning Zheng Fa only needed to simulate Yunsu Jade, not actually require it.
However, Yunsu Jade was still important—just as Madam Xuanhua said, it could be used to make the mobile phone.
Zheng Fa’s planned “mobile phone” was a terminal with relatively weak computing power but capable of sending and receiving messages.
In other words, Zheng Fa was essentially a “cloud server,” which would also help reduce the cost of the mobile phone and promote it better.
At this point, Madam Xuanhua suddenly sighed, “I never expected you guys would come up with a messaging talisman…”
Zheng Fa smiled slightly, wanting to say something, but suddenly fell silent and waved his hand.
A messaging talisman appeared in his palm.
Sister Zhang looked at him, and Zheng Fa chuckled, “It’s news from Yan Wushuang.”
“Hmm?”
“He’s come to Chenjun with his Master Sister…”
“That was quick.”
Sister Zhang laughed as well.
Tianhe’s response was faster than they had anticipated.
The sooner, the better...

**Chapter 332: Spiritual Elements and the Tianhe Senior Sister**
“Is it Tianhe Sect, Master Sister?” Madam Xuanhua, who had been standing aside listening to their conversation, spoke up. “You must be referring to the top disciple of this generation, Xie Qingxue.”
Zheng Fa turned to look at Madam Xuanhua, noticing a hint of admiration on her face. It was clear that Xie Qingxue was no ordinary person.
After all, Madam Xuanhua usually only showed such expressions towards spiritual stones.
Upon hearing the name, Sister Zhang also displayed surprise, as if she had just realized something. She laughed and said, “I didn’t expect Xie Qingxue to be from the same generation as Yan Wushuang.”
Zheng Fa watched the two, unsure of what riddle they were playing at.
But he understood one thing—Yan Wushuang seemed to have been criticized.
Sister Zhang’s words were quite clear:
Because Xie Qingxue was so impressive, people unconsciously overlooked her age.
Seeing his puzzled expression, Madam Xuanhua explained, “Xie Qingxue is the most talented disciple of this generation in the Tianhe Sect, even referred to as the first person since the Tianhe Elder.”
Zheng Fa raised an eyebrow; that title was no small matter.
“How is her cultivation?”
“It’s said she achieved the Transformation stage a hundred years ago, and she was still under five hundred years old at that time, making her the youngest Transformation stage cultivator in the past ten thousand years…” Madam Xuanhua’s face was filled with excitement.
Zheng Fa couldn’t help but think that Xie Qingxue seemed to be somewhat of an idol for Madam Xuanhua.
After a few moments of contemplation, Madam Xuanhua seemed to remember something. She paused, suddenly looking at Sister Zhang with her mouth agape, as if the words in her throat had suddenly caught.
When she turned to Zheng Fa, her expression became even more peculiar.
“You two…” Madam Xuanhua struggled for a moment, unable to find the words, and simply waved her hand in silence.
It seemed she found it uninteresting.
Zheng Fa and Sister Zhang exchanged glances, both understanding Madam Xuanhua’s implied meaning—your Transformation stage is a bit too overpowered.
“Madam, I’m just a Golden Core cultivator,” Zheng Fa attempted to correct her.
“Ha.”
Madam Xuanhua shot him a sidelong glance, her expression saying it all—believe me, and I’ll consider you my senior apprentice!
Madam Xuanhua’s willingness to joke with Zheng Fa actually proved one thing:
The arrival of someone from the Tianhe Sect had eased the tension for everyone in the Jiushan Sect.
It was best for the likes of the Demon Ancestor to be dealt with by the high-ranking sects like Xuanwei Wuzong.
As for them, they could focus on their research.
...
“Particle collision... I wonder what you’re trying to study,” Madam Xuanhua muttered, looking at the equipment before her.
It was a silver metallic container, resembling a giant bun several people tall, with shielding runes and microscopic array runes drawn on its surface, along with some wind runes.
Elder Yuan, Xiao Yuying, and Zheng Fa stood at the three corners of the bun.
Unlike electron microscopes, the Jiushan realm’s simulation of a particle collider was going quite smoothly.
The principle of a particle collider isn’t complicated; it merely involves using electromagnetic fields to accelerate charged particles and collide them at specific locations—modern challenges lie in how to establish a sufficiently strong electromagnetic field.
To achieve this, long tunnels often need to be built, which takes a long time and costs a lot.
However, in the realm of high energy, Xuanwei cultivators have a natural advantage: if used well, lightning techniques can make modern physicists weep!
As for why they were conducting particle collision experiments, the reason was simple:
Zheng Fa had come to understand the essence of the Five Elements spells, even grasping the relationship between spiritual materials and the Five Elements spells, and he was close to figuring out how to combine spiritual materials into magical artifacts.
Now, there was only one question left:
How to simulate Yunsu Jade.
To simulate it, one must understand the essence of various spiritual materials.
To do this, it was crucial to clarify how spiritual energy interacts with particles.
Zheng Fa was now pinning his hopes on the particle collider.
In the Jiushan realm, the main experimental subjects for particle collisions were humans.
Elder Yuan was responsible for generating and accelerating the ion flow.
Zheng Fa was in charge of magnetic field constraints, allowing high-speed particles to collide.
And Xiao Yuying—her role was primarily as a sensor.
As for this bun-like experimental apparatus, its main function was to shield the spiritual energy from interfering with the electromagnetic field and to create a vacuum environment, preventing air particles from obstructing the particle flow.
Oh, and it was also used for observation with microscopic arrays.
For the first experiment, the particles used for collision were the Tai Chi Vital Energy that Zheng Fa used to condense his Golden Core:
This choice was mainly because Zheng Fa had a deep understanding of it, knowing that Tai Chi Vital Energy primarily consisted of protons.
What he wanted to determine now was how spiritual energy existed within the Tai Chi Vital Energy.
Zheng Fa glanced at Elder Yuan and nodded at Xiao Yuying.
The three of them simultaneously used spiritual symbols or spells to drive the Tai Chi Vital Energy.
With Elder Yuan’s lightning technique enhancing it, the Tai Chi Vital Energy transformed into two streaks of white cloud-like energy, resembling two long, slender dragons, which Zheng Fa and Xiao Yuying constrained, colliding directly within that metallic bun!
In an instant, blinding purple light erupted before everyone’s eyes.
Zheng Fa and the others didn’t blink; instead, they activated their洞虚灵眼 (Dongxu Lingyan, a type of spiritual eye) to observe the site of the reaction.
After a while, Sister Zhang slowly spoke, seemingly puzzled:
“What is that…”
