Exploring Immortality Cultivation

"When we were still being ridiculed for 'also wanting a Daoist couple,' kids from our same class at the Immortal Institute could already fetch soy sauce; when we were still painstakingly meditating, they had already begun sharing their experiences of dual cultivation; when we were laboring to construct the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm, they... they actually used the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm to arrange dewy marriages and even sought out the Joyful Union Sect!"

The tone of this Wanfa Sect disciple was exceptionally sorrowful.

At this point, the proper academic conference had unknowingly turned into a grievance airing session.

Being in academia is a lonely process. The more theoretical the subject, the better scholars understand the true intent of loneliness.

In the day-to-day molding of their Dao Heart, it was inevitable that disciples of the Wanfa Sect would acquire this or that kind of temperament "that doesn't understand human hearts"—regardless of gender.

Hmm, the Wanfa Sect indeed had a male-to-female ratio of ninety-nine to one, but it wasn't without female cultivators. However, the cute and clueless girls were mostly "nice to look at from a distance but impossible to approach." It was certainly adorable watching them act foolish from afar, but truly unbearable when it happened right next to you. The Wanfa girls also belonged to those who couldn't snag a guy.

But among the three female disciples present, there was one who wore a look of indifference.

Advanced language involves aspects of logic, encoding, and more. Encoding is closely related to number theory. Chen Youjia, due to her father Chen Jingyun being somewhat accomplished in number theory, was also dragged here.

Chen Youjia, as someone with a boyfriend, looked at her fellow sect members with a bit of triumph in her expression.

These guys, sigh, think having Telepathy solves everything? That attitude is problematic. Approaching Telepathy cultivation with such an attitude, the sleazy aura definitely can't be hidden! These girls too, not modest at all.

These male fellow disciples... sigh, Wang Qi is better in comparison.

Thinking of Wang Qi, the dopamine levels in Chen Youjia's blood rose by a few percentage points.

During her days with Wang Qi, she gradually sorted out her thoughts. Especially after that life-or-death experience in the Divine Capital, which forced her to see through herself and untie her mental knots.

After realizing the immaturity of her own mental state, Chen Youjia was now able to confront herself, face her family. Despite her relationship with her father still being somewhat strained, it wasn't as bad—at least Master Chen had been in a good mood lately. Following that, she also made up for the studies she had neglected back when she was in conflict with her father.

By the way, due to her change in attitude, she was now regarded within the Wanfa Sect as a typical case of "a prodigal who has returned."

The current Chen Youjia, from the inside out, emanated an aura of "leading a fulfilling real life."

Due to her naturally indifferent facial expression, no one could tell what she was thinking. But in her heart, Chen Youjia suddenly felt an urge—she really wanted to repeat, word for word, what Wang Qi had said to her that night, by grabbing the collars of these fellow disciples telling them: This is the style befitting of us, the grand Wanfa! Hmm, also to show these female fellow disciples, this is my man!

Although she was too shy to do it just yet, that's really what Chen Youjia was thinking.

Half a year without seeing each other, but longing only made love grow deeper.

Chen Youjia let out a soft sigh and gazed at Su Junyu speculatively. She had heard that Senior Brother Su was the one who led Wang Qi on the path of cultivation, and they were quite close... Should I say hello? He did say "when two people start sharing, it's at least a part of their personal lives," I should also get to know his friends...

What should I say later? "I'm Wang Qi's lover"... No, too shy, can't say that. "You know Wang Qi, right? I'd like to get to know you"... No, it makes it seem like I'm not close with Wang Qi...

Talking, so difficult.

From the moment Su Junyu introduced the "Wanxiang Diagram," Chen Youjia already knew whose handiwork it was.

This mutually beneficial style, and the way of setting people up without them realizing it... was entirely Wang Qi's scheming!

Chen Youjia could even picture Wang Qi hiding in the West Sea and snickering—it must be incredibly cute!

The girl had already decided to put her all into this. She was extremely familiar with Wang Qi and saw through his true goal, the Wanxiang Diagram, at a glance. And considering his approach of combining the Heavenly Calculation Atlas with Calculator Road Rank, he must have made another breakthrough in his method of cultivation.

Chen Youjia, by nature sparing with her expressions, did not reveal any of this intense internal struggle and girlish sentiment, and no one paid it any attention. At this time, Su Junyu had completely the look of an "opinion leader," the "savior of Wanfa." Seeing that he had fully stirred up the troubled emotions of the crowd, he was quite pleased with himself. Not all Wanfa Sect disciples were single, but he had specifically invited the singles. He planned to close this sad grievance session and thus stood up, declaring loudly, "Everyone, don't be sad. This too shall pass. We already have the hope of breaking free from this situation!"

Seeing that the disciples were still immersed in sorrow and unable to extricate themselves—Chen Youjia was expressionless—Su Junyu decided it was time for a strong dose: "I'm not afraid to tell you, the founder of this Daoist Skill, is already living a lush life!"

Hmm?

Chen Youjia raised her head, staring fixatedly at Su Junyu's lips as if to extract something from them. But since the others did the same, she still didn't stand out.

Su Junyu was secretly pleased, thinking to himself: Brother, don't blame me.

"Wang Qi, you know him? Wang Qi," Su Junyu said. "The winner of the Dao Artifact Award and Dao Seed Award, that Cultivation Method involving the Heavenly Calculation Atlas and Calculator Theory that you mentioned just now, was developed by him."

Everyone looked as if they suddenly understood. The prize Wang Qi received for the Dao Artifact Award in the past was the Godel Completeness Law, an important achievement in the field of mathematical logic. Since mathematical logic is the foundation of computer science and Calculator Cultivation Technique, it was only natural that Wang Qi would know it. The Dao Seed Award was naturally inseparable from the Heavenly Calculation Atlas. Therefore, it was expected that Wang Qi would have such knowledge.

Su Junyu patted his chest with a look of pride, "I was the one who brought him into the sect. When he sees me, he still has to call me senior brother."

Seeing some people's disdain, Su Junyu smiled, "What, you think I'm not in his league? Let me tell you, if it weren't for this relationship, would he have come to me with such a good project?"

Someone questioned, "Isn't he going to make the Wanxiang Diagram public?"

Su Junyu replied with scorn, "The Wanxiang Diagram is public, but why should divine skills be given away for free?"

The patent Wang Qi applied for was for the dataized cultivation method of the Heavenly Calculation Atlas. Moreover, it's not classified as a cultivation technique or divine skill but as a special technology. He did not prohibit others from cultivating, but anyone using the divine skills he programmed had to pay.

It was like getting a free phone with a plan—the dataized cultivation method from the Heavenly Calculation Atlas I gave away for free, but I charge for the divine skills—perhaps it could also be likened to a game where items are free but features are premium.

In a world where researchers held both martial and political power, patent law was not merely paper tiger.

Of course, since it's like a game, there were inevitably people who would create hacks. Wang Qi had already anticipated that more and more cultivators from the Wanfa Sect would write their own divine skills. However, most Wanfa Sect cultivators are homebodies; how many could get the chance to meet Tianling Ridge disciples? Wang Qi knew Chen Feng and Ai Qinglan, two outstanding figures among his peers, which was also an advantage.

Su Junyu said, "However, my junior brother told me, everyone who comes to help this time will get the Heavenly Calculation Atlas of that level for free, plus the Telepathy divine skill—you have no idea how happy Wang Qi is now in the West Sea, every day it's treasure ships and beauties..."

Smack!

Suddenly, a loud bang echoed in the teahouse, and spiritual energy swirled as if mana had suddenly exploded.

Everyone looked around in confusion, not understanding the cause. Chen Youjia followed suit. The advantage of having a poker face is that no one suspects anything.

But a powerful anger was brewing.

Su Junyu went on with the topic, "You don't know, Brother Wang, he's really not like a disciple of our Wanfa Sect. Back when he was still in the Immortal Institute, he used to tease the girls. I remember there was a half-demon who was quite cute, and he always took pleasure in pinching her ears..."

Oh! The crowd couldn't hold back their excitement. A half-demon's ancestral features were taboo, not to be touched; this was common knowledge to cultivators.

Chen Youjia too, couldn't hold back her excitement, but on a different level.

"Calm down, calm down. That was the past, just the past..." Chen Youjia felt she shouldn't dwell on Wang Qi's past.

Su Junyu's voice dropped as if sharing a secret, "Don't tell Bao Xiaofeng about this; he'll freak out—during the unified exams, that bastard Wang Qi was handsy with Junior Sister Bao Xiaoya, doing improper things. And Junior Sister Bao actually developed feelings for him, even conceding the match voluntarily..."

The crowd was abuzz with talk. Wang Qi's match was considered "legendary," and most people knew a little about it. However, the specifics had been distorted as the story spread.

"I've known about that for a while, his thing with Bao Xiaoya..." Chen Youjia bit her lip.

"Now, do you know what kind of life Wang Qi is leading in the West Sea..." Su Junyu kept adding fuel to the fire, weaving all sorts of romantic tales.

Chen Youjia put her hand on the calculator, sneakingly sending out a Spirit Letter, "Who's with you right now?"

They always sent each other a few such meaningless messages every day.

"Just some old classmates from the Immortal Institute."

Damn it.

Countless bull demons seemed to stampede through Chen Youjia's heart.

It matched what Su Junyu was saying.

Amid the exuberant atmosphere, Su Junyu loudly announced, "Such a driver develops such divine skills! What are you waiting for?"

Heh. Chen Youjia said in her mind.

"Now, I declare the Cangjie Project officially starts!" Su Junyu's emotions surged as he raised his hands, "We will change ourselves! We will turn the Wanfa Sect's image around!"

"Change lives! Turn images around!"

Among the excited crowd, Chen Youjia revealed a silent sneer—Wang Qi, you've got guts. "Starting to share at least some personal life"... You're really someone whose words are just hot air; your friends don't even know who I am!

However, Chen Youjia's laugh was mistaken for joy and overlooked.
