Chapter 655
“What's this?”
“It's your reward from Senior Sister!”
Zheng Fa weighed the storage bag in his hand without opening it, and simply smiled, “Is Senior Sister in a hurry?”
“Of course I am!” Yuan, the senior sister, nodded vigorously, muttering, “That little Golden Crow is almost at the mid-stage of Golden Core! If I don’t get a move on, I’ll be left behind by that little Golden Crow!”
Zheng Fa chuckled inwardly. The True Fire of the Great Sun had the effect of evolving bloodlines, which was a huge temptation for both Yuan and the little Golden Crow.
Naturally, he was more than willing to lend them a hand—
First, it would strengthen the power of the Jiu Shan Sect.
Second, it was also a form of research on demon beasts, which would greatly aid him in mastering the ultimate form of his technique, the "Tiangang Disha Transformation."
After dealing with these two, he still had to help Uncle Huang, Uncle Pang, and others in refining the "Tiangang Disha Transformation" for their Nascent Soul stage, which was quite a massive undertaking.
Fortunately, Zheng Fa's current cultivation relied on absorbing from his ancestors, and he had delegated most of the mundane tasks to Suan Ling.
That was how he found the time for this.
The little Golden Crow was the first to be dealt with—
It had the lowest cultivation level, making the process the simplest.
This Golden Crow was inherently compatible with the True Fire of the Great Sun, so the results were naturally impressive.
Just a few days ago, it not only successfully formed its Golden Core but seemed to have awakened a hint of demon emperor bloodline, shooting straight to the mid-stage of Golden Core!
This made Yuan quite anxious.
“Fine if you surpass me, but that little Golden Crow is unacceptable!”
Yuan gritted her teeth, her face showing a rare determination.
“Have the news and interviews been arranged?”
“Done! A few new disciples are in charge, and the results are pretty good!”
Yuan nodded vigorously.
Yuan was placed last in line, partly because Zheng Fa was unsure of his own methods and wanted to test them on the little Golden Crow first.
Moreover, with her bloodline evolution, she was likely to fall into a deep sleep.
But as the top broadcaster of Jiu Shan, she had a heavy burden, so she had delayed for half a year to train a batch of new disciples who could take over her hosting duties.
Zheng Fa also intended to cultivate a group of news talents: as the "Tongjian" (Comprehensive Mirror) became increasingly popular, the programs in Jiu Shan Entertainment seemed a bit lacking, naturally needing some fresh blood.
Seeing that Yuan had everything arranged, Zheng Fa nodded lightly, and the True Fire of the Great Sun began to coalesce in the air, transforming into a furnace.
The flames flowed inside like water, and Yuan shrank her head back, seemingly a bit scared, but then gritted her teeth and transformed into a Qing Luan (a mythical bird), leaping into the furnace.
“It’s so itchy!”
“It’s normal to feel itchy,” Zheng Fa said seriously. “Bloodline evolution is when your demon body is being restructured. From the little Golden Crow’s perspective, you might even gain some inheritance!”
“Calm your mind and circulate your spiritual power!”
The Qing Luan seemed to understand that this wasn’t the time to throw a tantrum. It nodded and began to comprehend the changes in its body.
Zheng Fa carefully controlled the True Fire of the Great Sun, enveloping Yuan completely.
After more than half a month, Zheng Fa's face turned a bit pale.
Facilitating Yuan's bloodline evolution was indeed a very delicate task, and even with Zheng Fa's spirit, it was quite exhausting.
“Junior Brother... I... I need to sleep.”
“Hmm?”
Zheng Fa felt a surge of joy and said to Yuan, “That’s a good sign!”
“Junior Brother, you... you wait for me to wake up.”
Zheng Fa was taken aback, looking at Yuan.
He heard her mumble intermittently, “The old man is in seclusion, and now I am too... I bought some snacks, but I can’t find anyone to share them with, so I came to you.” Yuan seemed very sleepy.
“If I fall asleep, then... then you’ll have no one to play with.”
“Wait for me to wake up...”
“If you... if you get bored and have no one to talk to, there are snacks in the storage bag I gave you... take your time eating, and when you finish, I’ll wake up.”
Zheng Fa remained silent, watching as Yuan's head gradually drooped, struggling against the pull of sleep, and suddenly chuckled softly.
He moved his fingers slightly, and the Xuan Guan Mirror flew out, enveloping Yuan.
Zheng Fa didn’t move Yuan to another place; he simply sat beside her and began to cultivate slowly.
In the courtyard, the peach tree had bloomed five times and bore fruit five times.
Thunder rumbled.
“Junior Brother! I’ve formed my baby!”
Yuan’s chirpy voice rang out.
“Senior Sister, this is what I left for you.”
“What is it?”
“Peach preserves.”
“Delicious!”
The peach tree in the courtyard bloomed three more times and bore fruit three more times. Yuan had grown tired of eating fresh peaches, peach preserves, and peach pits in rotation.
“Junior Brother, when will Senior Sister wake up?”
“I don’t know.”
“Junior Brother, can you burn me a bit more?”
“…”
“If I sleep a little longer, maybe when I open my eyes, I’ll see Senior Sister!” Yuan fantasized. “No, no, maybe if I sleep a bit longer, I could reach the Spirit Transformation before Senior Sister!”
“…”
Zheng Fa glanced at Yuan, who was lost in her whimsical thoughts. If he could burn himself into Spirit Transformation, wouldn’t he do it for himself?
Yuan seemed to realize her dream was a bit too fanciful, tilting her head to look at the courtyard where Zhang, the senior sister, was in seclusion, murmuring, “Junior Brother, I really miss Senior Sister…”
“…”
For both Yuan and Zheng Fa, the closest ones in the sect, aside from Zhang, were the old man. Now that these two were in seclusion together... it was only natural that the little bird felt lonely.
“Something’s happening in Senior Sister’s courtyard!”
Zheng Fa suddenly stood up, looking towards Zhang’s courtyard, then abruptly turned to look in another direction.
“The old man!”
Yuan sensed something was off too and turned to look, shouting loudly.
Zheng Fa hadn’t expected that within just one day, both Zhang and the old man seemed to be experiencing breakthroughs!

Chapter 463: Master’s Incarnation, Senior Sister’s Divine Powers
The places where Zhang and the old man were in seclusion simultaneously exhibited signs of breakthrough, leaving Zheng Fa both surprised and delighted.
Not to mention, as Yuan had said, the two in seclusion at this moment were his master and his partner, the closest people to him, so he naturally felt concerned.
Moreover, whether these two succeeded in their Spirit Transformation was directly related to his own path to Spirit Transformation:
He had been in the baby-forming stage for nearly ten years. Even though he was busy with various matters, under the relentless dedication of the Jiu Shan ancestors, his cultivation had reached the late stage of Nascent Soul.
He could say he was just a step away from Spirit Transformation.
Currently, the two main obstacles preventing him from achieving Spirit Transformation were:
First, there wasn’t enough time.
The transition from Nascent Soul to Spirit Transformation was extremely important for cultivators.
Once a cultivator achieved Spirit Transformation, they would solidify their own path.
Just like the Yang God technique for the Immortal Sect and the Incarnation technique for the Demon Sect, it was not something that could be easily changed, as it even related to the achievement of their Dao fruit.
Furthermore, Spirit Transformation involved constructing a Yang God or an Incarnation, which was no small project.
Thus, even though Zheng Fa held the three methods of Spirit Transformation from Haori Mountain, the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor, and the Tianhe Sect, he approached Spirit Transformation with great caution, needing to ponder carefully and meditate deeply.
In simple terms, he needed to go into seclusion.
But Zheng Fa was currently juggling multiple jobs, having to clock in at the Chongxuan Sect every two months.
Where would he find the time for seclusion?
The other issue was even more critical:
He hadn’t yet decided which method of Spirit Transformation to choose, or rather, he hadn’t perfected his own Spirit Transformation technique.
With the "Tiangang Disha Transformation," he had not only studied three methods but had also practiced them!
He had even mastered the "Chixiao Yuce" to the point of being indistinguishable from the real thing, almost qualifying for the true transmission of Haori Mountain.
Therefore, Zheng Fa had grand ambitions, or rather, he was extremely cautious:
Whether it was to integrate the three methods into a unique style or to break free from the constraints of other Dao fruits, he wanted to step outside the framework of the three techniques and create his own Spirit Transformation method.
The idea was great, but the problems were numerous.
Ultimately, even though he possessed the Dao fruit of the Fusang tree, he couldn’t fully comprehend its mechanisms, so in terms of knowledge of cultivation, he was still inferior to a true Dao fruit holder.
As a result, trying to create a Spirit Transformation method different from the three techniques was somewhat forced: after all, the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor took an entire epoch to create the "Wanyao Zhenjie," which still didn’t escape the mold of the Demon Sect’s techniques.
Even in the modern world, there were many unresolved issues—those scholars understood the Immortal Path even less than he did, offering little help in such matters.
Fortunately, with the Nine Chapters Calculation Array and various studies in the Zao Hua Jade Tablet, Zheng Fa already had some preliminary ideas, though they were still not well-formed. Ultimately, he still lacked sufficient understanding of Spirit Transformation and had little experience to draw upon.
In this way, if the old man and Zhang could successfully achieve Spirit Transformation, it would naturally hold great significance for him.
The old man was his master, both cultivating the Shenxiao Golden Core, and they could be said to share the same origin.
After dual cultivating with him, Zhang had also practiced the "Tiangang Disha Transformation."
The insights and experiences from their Spirit Transformation would undoubtedly provide Zheng Fa with much assistance.
Moreover, both Zhang and the old man were following the path of creating their own techniques for Spirit Transformation, making their experiences even more worthy of reference.
…
Several streams of light from various parts of the Jiu Shan realm shot towards Zheng Fa's courtyard.
