Zheng Fa watched those Spirit Plant grow.

Spirit Plant is different from ordinary plants - he discovered this in Nursing Home.

For example, Evergreen Talisman can spawn ordinary plants and mature them overnight, which can shorten the time to cultivate crops to the extreme.

But it has no effect on the Spirit Plant peas grown by Zheng Fa - in Zheng Fa's conjecture, this is because it contains Spiritual Qi in its body and is "resistant" to the talisman.

To put it more simply, the function of the talisman was interfered with by the Spiritual Qi in its body.

He guessed that there were probably some Secret Methods in some sects that could speed up the maturity of certain Spirit Plants.

But like this Golden Bell, it directly makes a whole Medicine Garden, Spirit Plant and spiritual beast grow rapidly-not to mention Zheng Fa, even Senior Sister Zhang is unheard of.

"Time..." Senior Sister Zhang's eyes were misty, "Then Heavenly Venerable may be more powerful than we imagined..."

There was silver light in Zheng Fa's eyes, looking at the various Spirit Plants in Medicine Garden, as if he was observing something, but did not hear Senior Sister Zhang's whisper.

"Junior brother, what are you looking at?"

Senior Sister Zhang asked curiously.

"I'm looking at the growth of Spiritual Qi on these Spirit Plant... it's weird..."

Just now his mind moved and he thought of Spiritwood Lightning.

To be more precise, he thought of his previous experience of observing the growth of pea seedlings and summing up an experience of Spiritwood Lightning.

Under the influence of Spiritwood Lightning, the peas changed from not containing Spiritual Qi to containing Spiritual Qi - to put it simply, the pea seedlings produced a mutation led by Spiritwood Lightning.

Therefore, he wanted to see if this mutation also existed in Medicine Garden.

I didn't expect to find it!

"Strange?" Senior Sister Zhang frowned, not understanding what he meant.

"For each type of Spirit Plant, in a round of sun and moon rotation, a Spiritual Qi surge will occur at the same time! This surge will occur twenty-four times in one round!"

Senior Sister Zhang was stunned for a moment, then picked up Void-Piercing Spirit Eye and looked towards Medicine Garden.

After a while, she nodded slowly.

"Indeed." Senior Sister Zhang affirmed, "Although each Spirit Plant produces Spiritual Qi with different strengths and weaknesses, every time the sun and moon turn, their Spiritual Qi will actually change twenty-four times at the same time?"

"Twenty-four?"

Senior Sister Yuan on the side suddenly said, "Aren't there only twenty-four statues in the temple before? And there are those twenty-four chairs!"

Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang looked at each other and nodded slightly.

The number twenty-four is not ordinary, and the association of Senior Sister Yuan is very natural.

But Senior Sister Zhang looked at Zheng Fa's expression and suddenly asked, "Do you have other ideas?"

Zheng Fa had no intention of hiding anything in front of the two senior sisters, and said, "Senior sister, do you still remember what Han True Person Thousand Grain Sect said back then, that Spirit Farmer Secret Art is all related to solar terms?"

"You mean Twenty-Four Solar Terms?"

Zheng Fa nodded.

"Then these twenty-four are the gods in charge of solar terms?"

"I don't know about that." Zheng Fa shook his head and said, "It's just that I have a feeling now..."

"Huh?"

"Spiritwood Lightning, maybe there are twenty-four..."

"Twenty-four types? There is some truth..." Senior Sister Zhang frowned slightly, obviously feeling that it was a bit too much, "This... you need to study."

Indeed, it was a coincidence that Zheng Fa developed the first Spiritwood Lightning.

If there are twenty-four ways, depending on luck, I really don't know that I will have to study them until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.

Zheng Fa Looking at the rapid growth of Spirit Plant in Medicine Garden, I suddenly had an idea in my mind:

In fact, if we measure the intensity of the magnetic field when Spiritual Qi mutates in this Medicine Garden, we can say twenty-four and two hundred and forty are very simple...

Just need an electromagnetic laboratory!

Huh?

Zheng Fa suddenly glanced at Senior Sister Zhang, his eyes thoughtful.

Since Senior Sister Zhang can be used as Talisman Arts laboratory.

Xiao Yuying Magnetic Rail Body, isn't it a good electromagnetic laboratory?

It shouldn't be a problem to at least measure the magnetic field strength.

It's just that this woman is rich and powerful, so it may not be easy for her to cooperate obediently.

Sure enough, it is difficult for a person with a good background to be tricked into being a bully...

When Golden Bell fell, Spirit Plants rose up from Medicine Garden one after another and landed in front of Zheng Dharma Body - the same Spirit Plants he had selected on Jade Stele before.

As for the other Spirit Plant, it didn't move.

This Golden Bell doesn't look easy to mess with, so even Senior Sister Yuan doesn't dare to reach out and pick the other Spirit Plant.

Zheng Fa held Silver Seal in front of him, his heart moved, and he suddenly understood something. He said to Senior Sister Zhang and the other two people, "Shall we go to other places to see?"

The two senior sisters nodded, obviously interested.

His Divine Soul was a little above Silver Seal, and this Silver Seal summoned three soft winds, dragging Zheng Fa towards the other "islands".

The first place is closest to Medicine Garden.

"The shape of this land..." Before landing, Senior Sister Zhang said, "It is vaguely consistent with that Medicine Garden?"

Zheng Fa also looked carefully at the edge of the "island" in front of him, and recalled the shape of Medicine Garden just now, and couldn't help but nod.

A dozen courtyards stood in front of them.

There seemed to be some smell in the air. Senior Sister Zhang's face changed and he seemed to want to speak.

A ray of light flashed from the Silver Seal, and as soon as it was swept over the three people, the smell dissipated immediately.

"Senior Sister Zhang?"

"This should be the place where Heavenly Palace makes alchemy." Senior Sister Zhang frowned and said, "The smell just now must be from medicinal materials or elixirs that have been stored for a long time and are poisonous. If it weren't for this Silver Seal, we'd better leave immediately."

The three of them walked into a courtyard. There was only one entrance to this courtyard. There was an Pill Furnace in the main room, and the Pill Furnace was completely empty.

There are several rows of medicine shelves in the side room on the left. There should be some spirit medicine on them. At this time, they have dried up into thin black lines.

The smell just now is probably coming from these things.

In the room on the right are dozens of jade bottles and gourds, probably where the refined elixirs are stored.

As expected, the jade bottles and gourds were also empty. Even if there were any leftovers, they seemed to have been left accidentally. After years of ravage, they could no longer be consumed.

They went to other courtyards.

The appearance inside is similar, except that some of the Pill Furnace in the yard were pushed down, and some gourds and jade bottles fell to the ground. It seemed that there had been a fight.

"It's unusual for Alchemy Chamber and Medicine Garden to be in the same place."

Walking out of the yard, Senior Sister Zhang suddenly said.

"So these Heavenly Palace are originally one body?" Zheng Fa understood what Senior Sister Zhang meant and said, "I'm afraid there was a big war."

"Yes, judging from the state of Alchemy Chamber, the people here seem to know that there will be danger here and are preparing to evacuate in advance..."

The three of them walked around these courtyards again and found nothing else.

They headed towards other "islands".

The remaining islands were even more disappointing.

These look like some powerful cave abode, but they are already empty, and there are no treasure secrets inside.

"Sure enough, these people probably all evacuated early... so they wouldn't leave anything behind."

"But that Golden Bell?"

Senior Sister Yuan said in confusion.

Zheng Fa understands what she means, then Golden Bell looks like a good baby at first glance. If he really wants to run away, wouldn't it be good to take that thing with him?

"I don't know about this." Senior Sister Zhang thought for a while and said, "I think it's not that Golden Bell doesn't want to take it away, but it's that he can't take it away."

Zheng Fa nodded, feeling that this guess was very reliable.

After visiting several "islands" in a row, they found nothing, which made Senior Sister Yuan look a little bored.

The last island is the largest.

This is a magnificent and dilapidated palace complex. There are about a thousand palaces, but none of them is intact...

There were collapsed palace walls everywhere, and jade pillars smashed to the ground, broken into pieces of rubble.

"This is probably the residence of the owner of the Heavenly Palace." Senior Sister Zhang said, "I'm afraid it's also the place where the war took place."

The three of them walked towards the depths of the palace.

Most of the palaces are empty and nothing remains.

There are also a few Law Treasure in some palaces - but after the erosion of time and without the care of the owner, most of them have become dim and dull, leaving no power at all.

After the tour just now, they were mentally prepared, and they were not disappointed at this time, so they just walked straight inside.

Finally, they arrived at the deepest palace.

The palace here was originally the largest, but it was also the most severely damaged, with only its foundation left.

Several people were walking among them. Suddenly, Senior Sister Yuan pointed at a corner of the courtyard wall and shouted, "What is there?"

Zheng Fa Looked up and saw that the courtyard wall was as tall as one person, and something was shining on it.

When a few people came closer, they saw two rows of cyan writing on it. They didn't know what was used to write on the wall. Not only did it not fade away over the years, it also glowed dimly.

Zheng Fa took a look twice before confirming that he didn't know this kind of word.

In other words, we can only understand it speciously.

"Senior Sister Zhang?"

"This is probably a font before Epoch Before the Previous Epoch. I have seen it in classics." Senior Sister Zhang frowned and said, "Let me take a look..."

She slowly chanted:

"All living beings are ignorant and cannot be relied upon. Divine Way is a wedding dress, Heavenly Venerable is no longer one's own."

"Today Nine Nether..."

Senior Sister Zhang's tone was soft and he looked at Zheng Fa.

Nine Nether...

"Today Nine Nether wants to pave the way for Xuanwei, but the gods block the way, so I will commit suicide."

Two columns of words made Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang fall into silence.

Even Senior Sister Yuan, who had always been confused on the side, stammered and asked, "Does this Nine Nether mean that Nine Nether Devil Ancestor?"

"I'm afraid..."

It doesn't mean that others can't be called Nine Nether.

But Heavenly Venerable in this world is supposed to have extraordinary strength. How many Nine Nether people in the Xuanwei Realm history can kill him?

Most likely, it is now Nine Nether Devil Ancestor.

"Then...Nine Nether Devil Ancestor... open the way for all sentient beings? Then don't we have no work to do?"

Senior Sister Yuan's tone was full of confusion.

Zheng Fa was also a little speechless - he knew before that Devil Ancestor itself might not be the spokesperson of Old Method as he imagined in his early years.

Now it's confirmed here.

Even... the original intention of this Nine Nether Devil Ancestor is so similar to him and Venerable Tianhe?

But what about now?

Zheng Fa looked at the sky. At this time, he was thinking about one thing - these Devil Ancestor, are these dragon-slaying boys turned into evil dragons? Or are the young people already dead and the living ones are evil dragons?

Or, Devil Ancestors really took another path?
