Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World

"If it is a zero-spiritual-energy environment, where all electrons move in an orderly manner, the Spirit Level value is 0."

"Using this as a baseline, we can roughly determine the Spirit Levels of various spirit lands and even different cultivators."

This really is like a thermometer.

If temperature is the macro response of particles moving randomly.

Then the Spirit Level value is actually the macro representation of random interference by spiritual energy.

"Is this... accurate? How does it compare to the Spirit Eye Technique?"

"We've only measured a few researchers who just started cultivating..." Zhou Miaomiao seemed uncertain, "If we set the average Spirit Level of someone who has achieved the first level of Qi Cultivation as 10."

"Then those at the second level of Qi Cultivation would be around 10 to 20."

"We tested Mrs. Tian's Spirit Level. She's at the sixth level of Qi Cultivation, and now she's at seventy-something."

Similar technology isn't absent in the Xuanwei Realm either, mainly concerning accuracy.

He pondered for a moment, then sent a voice transmission to Old Man Bai, Tang Lingwu, and others, inviting them to come over.

"What's up?"

Old Man Bai and the others hurried over, thinking something was going on.

"Come on, Mr. Bai, you try first."

Old Man Bai, like a little white mouse, stood in front of the Spiritual Energy Measuring Device.

Zhou Miaomiao pressed a button on the side of the scanner, and a value appeared on the electronic screen of the scanner.

"140"

Zhou Miaomiao was stunned and said in surprise: "Professor Bai, did you break through to Foundation Establishment?"

Zheng Fa understood her surprise.

Because according to her, Old Man Bai, who is now at the eighth level of Qi Cultivation, shouldn't exceed fifty.

"Professor Tang, would you like to try?"

Zheng Fa didn't say anything, but glanced at Tang Mudao beside him.

Tang Mudao seemed quite interested as well, and stepped forward to measure.

62.

This was normal again.

Thus, Tang Mudao and Mrs. Tian's measurement data were quite accurate.

They both cultivate efficiently, especially Tang Mudao, who likely understands the scriptures even better than Zheng Fa due to familial lessons.

Now they are both at the later stages of Qi Cultivation, one at the seventh level and the other at the eighth.

Bear in mind that Old Man Bai is also at the eighth level of Qi Cultivation.

Besides Old Man Bai's slightly inferior aptitude, it might also be because this old man particularly loves the "Five Thunders Body" technique...

Zheng Fa paused for a moment and then suddenly spoke:

"Could it be the 'Five Thunders Body'?"

"Exactly!"

Tang Mudao clapped his hands, "The 'Five Thunders Body' is inherently a Thunder System Magical Body, so it would naturally affect electrons more, hence Old Bai's value being twice that of a normal person..."

"You're the abnormal one!"

Old Man Bai cursed, then stood akimbo, looking rather pleased with himself.

Zheng Fa, however, felt a different thrill.

This was quite interesting...

Old Man Bai's value indicated that the Spiritual Energy Measuring Device measures not only the spiritual power within a cultivator but can to some extent detect the other's Dharma Body—or rather, their combat strength!

In Old Man Bai's case, although normally subdued by a mere glance from Mrs. Tian, he really wouldn't have a problem dealing with her after mastering the 'Five Thunders Body.'

These days, Ling Wu had been hiding away for cultivation, now looking at the Spiritual Energy Measuring Device with an eager expression.

"Ling Wu, would you like to see your Spirit Level value?"

Old Man Bai chuckled, gazing at Tang Lingwu with eyes full of affection. He seemed to think this little one had been too repressed lately and wanted her to have a little fun.

Of course, there was some curiosity as well.

Currently, in the retirement home, apart from Zheng Fa who had reached the Golden Core stage, the highest cultivation level was Tang Lingwu's Foundation Establishment.

Tang Lingwu nodded and stood gracefully in front of the device.

13368.

Everyone was momentarily speechless.

Old Man Bai's waist inexplicably slumped.

Even two Mrs. Tians are nothing.

Little Ling Wu could defeat a hundred of him!

Zheng Fa nodded secretly.

This indicated that the instrument was indeed fairly accurate.

The large realms in the Xuanwei Realm, from Qi Cultivation to Foundation Establishment, indeed have a roughly hundredfold increase.

And because this leap is so significant, many cultivators spend a lifetime stuck at the hurdle of Foundation Establishment.

What satisfied him was that observing with the "Void Spirit Eye," Zheng Fa could only get qualitative data.

He could barely see that Tang Lingwu's spiritual power was many times that of Old Man Bai.

But exactly how many times, it was difficult to quantify accurately.

Yet, this Spiritual Energy Scanner seemed capable of it!

All at once, Zheng Fa thought of many uses for this Spiritual Energy Scanner—

Measuring various cultivation techniques' strengths to create techniques with richer spiritual power.

During pharmaceutical experiments, monitoring the body to evaluate different spiritual medicines' merits.

It might even be helpful in this mining research—by measuring the spiritual energy concentration in plots of land, to some extent, one might identify mineral locations!

One could say... this Spiritual Energy Scanner is the starting point for data-driven cultivation!

He was musing when Old Man Bai's cheerful voice reached his ears, "Ling Wu, you're incredible!"

The old man's eyes were sparkling, seemingly full of envy.

Tang Lingwu looked somewhat embarrassed and started to smile, pursing her lips.

Unconsciously though, the pressure between her brows had eased considerably.

Zhou Miaomiao looked at Zheng Fa, seemingly waiting for him to measure himself, but Zheng Fa glanced at Tang Lingwu and ignored Zhou Miaomiao's expectant eyes.

He understood in his heart that not only was his Golden Core unusual, but he also had the Fusang Wood within him.

If the machine was incorrect, it didn't matter.

If it was accurate...

He feared Tang Lingwu might not be able to smile.

Unexpectedly, Tang Lingwu suddenly glanced at him, reached out, took his hand, and gently led him to the device, nodding to Zhou Miaomiao.

"*****"

The instrument's display screen showed a string of asterisks...

"This..."

Everyone looked blankly at Zhou Miaomiao.

Zhou Miaomiao scratched her head and inspected for a long time, then raised her head in bewilderment:
