Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World

The dean cosplay-ed as a Preaching Hall!

One could say, the fundamental difference from Illusion Technique is why Zheng Fa values "Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation" so much——

In his view, this is not only the best way of disguise.

It is also the foundation for him to accommodate various cultivation methods.

Even… in his hypothesis, the role of "Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation" is actually more focused on researching Dao Fruit:

Above Nascent Soul cultivation, in his understanding, it is to use different spells to form different lives.

The Demon Sect's Dharma Body, the Supreme Dao's Yang God, and even Tianhe Sect's Integration method differ greatly.

He couldn't determine which is superior or inferior.

Others may only be able to choose one path to move forward, but the real transformation effect of "Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation" gives Zheng Fa a wild ambition:

He wants to use the method of transformation to simulate the cultivation methods of various sects, even transforming into different Divinity Transformation cultivators to find the most perfect cultivation method!

As Zheng Fa's understanding of the world increases, the ability of this "Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation" grows, and the possibility of realizing this hypothesis also increases, hence today's minor achievement in "Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation" is truly a joyful event for Zheng Fa.

"What else can you transform into?"

Old Man Bai asked, looking very curious.

Zheng Fa thought for a moment, his form shifted, and he transformed entirely into an iron long sword, the blade piercing into the mountain rock, standing upright before Old Man Bai.

Old Man Bai clicked his tongue in wonder, reaching out to stroke the sword hilt while saying, "Couldn't tell it's a person at all!"

The long sword flashed, Zheng Fa extended his arm, eyes filled with helplessness, blocking Old Man Bai's hand from further touching.

Old Man Bai grinned, lowered his arm, and asked again, "What else?"

Zheng Fa tilted his head, glanced at Tang Lingwu, his body swayed slightly, transforming into Qingfeng, flying towards the forest at the back of Rainbow Mountain.

Moments later, this Qingfeng returned from the mountain with a newly bloomed pale yellow morning flower, circling Tang Lingwu, and tucked the flower in her hair.

"Wind… boring."

"Quite interesting though…"

Mrs. Tian chimed in, her eyes glanced enviously at the flower on Tang Lingwu's head, then looked at Old Man Bai, with a knowing look.

Tang Lingwu squinted and smiled, cautiously touched the small flower on her head.

A drop of dew fell on her fingertip.

This dew slid off her fingertip, dropped to the ground, splashing golden light spots.

In the golden light, Zheng Fa's figure appeared again.

"Dew?" Old Man Bai's eyes widened in surprise, "Wasn't it the wind?"

"The myriad forms and shapes, change with my thoughts, unnoticed by anyone."

Zheng Fa shook his head and laughed.

He didn't demonstrate further but stood before everyone and said to Cheng Yun and others:

"You have listened to my amateurish attempts these days, it's been hard… just now, can be considered my report performance to you."

"This cultivation technique is built upon the edifice of physics; without you all, it would have been difficult for my 'Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation' to achieve minor success."

Just now dazzled Cheng Yun, at this moment was excited, needless to say.

Although he didn't understand why Zheng Fa wanted to thank them, he understood the relationship between physics and this miraculous transformation method.

"…Physics?" He heard Professor Wang mumble softly, "The physics I learned seems a bit different…"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yun nodded inwardly:

No wonder the dean loves physics so much… if he could learn this, he would too!

…

"Preached for a month, your understanding of how to cultivate should also be sufficient." After demonstrating "Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation," Zheng Fa turned the topic back to Cheng Yun and others' cultivation.

"Perhaps some have already attempted cultivation, perhaps some haven't found a suitable cultivation technique."

Cheng Yun silently nodded.

Cultivation requires Spirit Roots, and Spirit Roots limit the choice of cultivation techniques.

As for Cheng Yun, he tried two cultivation techniques this month, neither seemed suitable for his Spirit Root, hence he hasn't officially started Qi Cultivation yet.

Zheng Fa saw many people showing some frustration, closed his eyes, his Nascent Soul flew out from the top of the skull, its chubby little hands flowing with Spiritual Energy, after a while, a jade token appeared between the Nascent Soul's palms.

Zheng Fa opened his eyes, sucked the token into his palm, and said:

"This object is Spirit Measuring Jade, used to measure Spirit Roots."

"Take it and give it a try."

Old Man Bai curiously looked at the token and asked, "What's the principle behind this?"

"Actually, it's simple." Zheng Fa handed the token to Old Man Bai with a smile, "You will know when you try it."

Old Man Bai held the token, seeing a rainbow light shoot out from it.

"What is this?"

"The principle of this Spirit Measuring Jade is to measure the amount of Five Element Spiritual Energy in the Spiritual Energy within the cultivator's body."

Zheng Fa explained.

"We all know, Five Element Spiritual Energy is actually the change in electron positions and effects… and the change in electrons itself produces various kinds of light."

Most of those present had learned some physics and understood.

Simply put, this Spirit Measuring Jade inputs Spiritual Energy into the cultivator's body, circulates through the meridians, and through the physical phenomenon of photon emission due to electronic energy change, measures the Five Element Spiritual Energy contained in this Spiritual Energy, thus determining the cultivator's Spirit Root.

"In the past, this kind of measurement was rather qualitative; I hope… it can be quantitative."

Cultivators in the Xuanwei Realm, unaware of the relationship between electrons and photons, naturally can only judge Spirit Roots through simple colors.

However, the modern world is different…

"Spectrometer?"

Tang Mudao immediately understood.

"Exactly! I hope to use spectral analysis, along with everyone's genetic analysis, to thoroughly understand what Spirit Roots are."

Zheng Fa looked at the people in front, knowing the Spirit Root issue must be addressed——

On one hand, the Fusang Wood Dao Fruit now requires listeners with higher comprehension, but good comprehension does not equal good aptitude.

And if aptitude cannot be changed, some scholars with high comprehension might have low cultivation lifelong, and the insights they can provide to Zheng Fa would be too limited.

On the other hand… Zheng Fa had an even bolder idea:

Obviously, the Fusang Wood Dao Fruit is greatly related to the number of listeners!

Lowering the Spirit Root threshold can increase the number of cultivators——so many people in modern times will provide him with endless wisdom.
