Venerable Chengkong is a very professional, at least very attentive sales... er, lobbyist.

Since he brought out Pure Tranquility Bamboo to seduce Zheng Fa, he naturally introduced Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root in great detail.

And Zheng Fa, whether for the Nine Mountains Realm or for Fusang Wood in his belly, is indeed very interested.

"The so-called Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root is different from ordinary Spirit Plant in that..." Seeing Zheng Fa listen carefully, Venerable Chengkong talked even more excitedly, "If a Grotto-Heaven World has such a Spirit Root, it can penetrate Tongtian."

Zheng Fa heard this and asked, "The Master is saying that Nine Mountains Realm's immortals and mortals cannot communicate with each other, because Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root is missing?"

"Exactly, in fact, there are other ways to penetrate the immortal world. For example, when your cultivation level is high in the future, you can break through the barriers between heaven and earth by relying only on yourself Divine Ability and not Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root."

Speaking of this, Venerable Chengkong chuckled:

"For example, you, the original owner of the Heavenly Stele Realm, may be like this."

"But these methods require extremely high levels of cultivation. I, Supreme Dao, can't even..."

At this point, he seemed to feel that he had made a mistake and stopped.

Zheng Fa seemed not to have heard this and only thought about it in his heart. Supreme Dao is known for its long history and profound foundation in Five Sects of Xuanwei. He knew Divine Dao Era, so he was not surprised.

Just listening to what Venerable Chengkong said, their research on Grotto-Heaven World actually went further than Heavenly Venerable before Nine Mountains Realm.

Sure enough... times are slowly progressing.

He asked Venerable Chengkong: "In addition to penetrating the immortal world, what other benefits does this Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root have?"

Seeing him asking this question, Venerable Chengkong naturally felt that Zheng Fa was interested in this topic and knew everything about it:

"If Grotto-Heaven World is fused with a Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root, then as the Spirit Root matures, it will naturally become more powerful and powerful, and will no longer be able to invade easily."

"Compared to penetrating the immortal world, this is the biggest role of Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root!"

"The stronger this Spirit Root is, the more benefits it will bring to Grotto-Heaven World, or in other words, it will make Grotto-Heaven World more perfect. There are rumors that in the end, Grotto-Heaven World will even become a real world..."

Venerable Chengkong's tone was a little ethereal, as if he felt that these words sounded out of reach.

He pointed at the Pure Tranquility Bamboo again. "In addition, Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root can also be regarded as a kind of natural Spirit Treasure, with infinite power."

Zheng Fa looked towards Pure Tranquility Bamboo and saw several yellow pointed leaves, and couldn't help but asked curiously:

"This Spirit Bamboo..."

Venerable Chengkong sighed, but did not hide it. "If there is no problem with this pure bamboo, which makes it unable to be compatible with Grotto-Heaven World, I can't take it out of Supreme Dao. This time, I am naturally dealing with Great Freedom Demon Cult, and secondly, I am also looking for a way to see if I can solve the problem of Pure Tranquility Bamboo."

"These two are actually the same thing. Although I am somewhat confident, Great Freedom Demon Cult has endured it for hundreds of thousands of years. Once he was born, without the help of this Pure Tranquility Bamboo..."

Zheng Fa looked at Venerable Chengkong in surprise. This person was so candid.

Venerable Chengkong seemed to understand his surprise and said with a smile, "Since I invited you to join Supreme Dao, of course I have to make it clear to you."

"Otherwise, if I am beaten to shame by Great Freedom Demon Cult in the future, it will make you doubt my Supreme Dao's strength."

Zheng Fa asked:

"I wonder, Master, how does it compare to the ordinary Spirit Transformation?"

"General Spirit Transformation? Oh, you mean Tongming?"

?

You didn't bring Venerable Tongming here because you wanted to trick him behind his back?

Venerable Chengkong actually answered the question differently, "You want to ask about the road ahead for Spirit Transformation, right?"

"... Hmm."

"Actually, it's hard for me to explain it clearly to you," Venerable Chengkong was extremely patient and explained, "After Spirit Transformation, the road is no longer certain."

"..." Zheng Fa's eyes widened.

"Supreme Dao, major Demonic Sect, even... Tianhe Sect, the choices on this road are all different. For example, I Supreme Dao The next realm of Spirit Transformation is Yang Spirit, but the next realm of the Tianhe Sect and the others is called Union Realm. As for the Demonic Sect, it is another path, following the lineage of Dharma Body."

He spoke vaguely, and Zheng Fa also heard it confusedly, but he understood it clearly - this is probably the difference between different methods over the past several epochs.

Even Tianhe Sect is different from Supreme Dao?

Venerable Chengkong added, "Tongming has not entered my Supreme Dao, so naturally I cannot get True Disciple."

He only said that Venerable Tongming did not win True Disciple, and did not say the strength of him and Venerable Tongming, but everyone can understand - he is probably far better than Venerable Tongming.

"But like me, I am just a True Disciple in Supreme Dao... My Supreme Dao background is far beyond the imagination of the world."

"Then..." Zheng Fa couldn't help but wonder, "Why doesn't Xuanwei have many Supreme Dao disciples?"

"Because we are not here at Xuanwei."

"...Grotto-Heaven World?" Zheng Fa suddenly realized.

Venerable Chengkong smiled and said, "I, Supreme Dao, have more than one Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root."

"..."

Zheng Fa understands the subtext of Venerable Chengkong. They not only have Grotto-Heaven World, but also Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root besides Pure Tranquility Bamboo... If the world can grow with Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root, after so many years, the cave they live in will probably be much wider than Nine Mountains Realm.

"So this Xuanwei Realm? Is it also a Grotto-Heaven World?"

Zheng Fa asked again.

"No, the characteristic of Grotto-Heaven World is that the rules are special, or in other words, incomplete."

"Xuanwei Realm... extremely special."

Zheng Fa looked at Venerable Chengkong in confusion, and saw that Venerable Chengkong had his mouth closed, as if he didn't want to say more.

Thinking back to how he almost knew everything, Zheng Fa knew that Xuanwei Realm... was really special.

Venerable Chengkong changed the subject. "Don't listen to me and say that Supreme Dao has another Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root, just because you think this thing is easy to find."

"Didn't I tell you that there are only about ten kinds of Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root that I know of?"

"Xuanwei Realm... I'm afraid Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root has not appeared in an era."

Zheng Fa also understood what Venerable Chengkong was saying. If you don't join Supreme Dao, it would be difficult to find Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root.

"Even someone as inferior as Pure Tranquility Bamboo is not what Spirit Transformation can have."

"Not to mention, the legendary Jianmu, Yellow-Center Plum, Fusang Wood..."

Zheng Fa asked casually, "Fusang Wood, I seem to have heard of it..."

"Fusang Wood is extremely extraordinary. Rumor has it that this Spirit Root has the highest yang properties and the ability to grow hair from vegetation... among all Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Roots, it is also the best."

"If I, Pure Tranquility Bamboo, meet Fusang Wood, it will be nothing at all..."

"It is rumored that Fusang Wood was born a few epochs ago and was acquired by a great Divine Ability person. The great Divine Ability person relied on Fusang Wood to control Xuanwei and was almost the strongest in the world..."

Venerable Chengkong sighed, speaking highly of Fusang Wood, but actually a little bit disdainful of his own Pure Tranquility Bamboo.

Obviously he is very yearning for Fusang Wood.

Even when talking about it, there are some flattering words.

Of course, it is not ruled out that he deliberately made Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root more powerful in order to seduce Zheng Fa.

The two of them were talking, and then Senior Sister Zhang came.

As soon as Venerable Chengkong saw Senior Sister Zhang, he stopped talking, turned to Zheng Fa and said, "Just think about it for a day."

Senior Sister Zhang watched him go away and asked Zheng Fa curiously, "Just now, were you talking about Fusang Wood?"

"Huh?"

"He seemed to praise Fusang Wood very much? How did you talk about this?"

Zheng Fa thought for a while and then said, "He likes to talk, and I like to listen."

"..."

Senior Sister Zhang knew that Zheng Fa had trained Fusang Wood. When he heard this, he looked at Zheng Fa with a strange look.

Junior brother, are you taking someone else's bragging as flattery?

"The Fusang Wood in my Dantian should be formed by spiritual power... it cannot be completely called Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root."

Zheng Fa thought about the process of growing Fusang Wood and was still very clear-headed.

In his opinion, the Fusang Wood he was pregnant with should be the solidification of Law Technique - for example, the fruit of Fusang Wood is Law Technique that can produce fusion.

Fusang Wood at least has a kind of Law Technique, which can produce the so-called Fusang Spiritual Dew.

But to be honest, I am pregnant with Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root...

What about Primordial Spirit Dao Body and Magnetic Rail Body? They are not worthy of competing with our own Azure Yang Dao Body.

Zheng Fa has always been self-aware.

His Azure Yang Dao Body was originally just a combination of Five-Thunder Dharma Form and Azure Yang Energy - Azure Yang Energy is naturally extraordinary, otherwise he would not be valued by Nine Mountains Patriarch.

But if Azure Yang Dao Body can grow a truly top-notch Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root, that would be called porcelain.

What makes him so calm is the fact that:

If he really has Fusang Wood in his body, then it should be like Pure Tranquility Bamboo before. Once he enters Nine Mountains, he can change the Spiritual Qi rules of the Nine Mountains Realm.

Not now.

Naturally it explains the problem.

Senior Sister Zhang nodded after hearing this. "From Venerable Chengkong's mouth, we can know that Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root is not so good... If so, are you going to join Supreme Dao?"

Zheng Fa shook his head.

The relationship between Five Sects of Xuanwei and Venerable Tianhe has always made him fearful.

Unless absolutely necessary, Zheng Fa still wants to stay away from these people.

What should I do if my Jade Pendant acts like a monster?

"Then I, Nine Mountains Realm, will probably have no chance with Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root..."

Senior Sister Zhang shook his head and sighed.

"That's not necessarily the case."

Zheng Fa is thinking about his modern research on Spirit Plant.

I also thought about the similar structures in the cells after I completed Azure Yang Dao Body.

Suddenly I sighed:

I misunderstood the biology teacher!

He didn't lie to me. The future... is really the century of biology?

"You want to... plant a Fusang Wood?"

After hearing Zheng Fa's thoughts, Senior Sister Zhang couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked at Zheng Fa's head.

It seems that he is a bit suspicious that this junior brother is crazy.

"Having this idea, the most important question now is to see what is the difference between Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root and ordinary Spirit Plant."

Zheng Fa feels that he is already farming.

I want to plant a Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root... but that's not too much, right?

When Senior Sister Zhang heard this, he looked at Zheng Fa with a confused look, which looked quite cute.

"Senior sister, you said I asked Venerable Chengkong for some dead branches and leaves, would he give them to me?"

Zheng Fa asked with twinkling eyes.

Senior Sister Zhang immediately understood what he was thinking, thought for a while and said, "The leaves growing on Pure Tranquility Bamboo... don't just turn yellow or fall off, they are still treasures."

Zheng Fa thought it made sense when he heard it, and temporarily suppressed the idea and said:

"Senior Sister Zhang, why did you come to see me?"

Senior Sister Zhang patted his head and said, "It's Madam Xuanhua. She made Law Artifact that can shield Spiritual Qi from electromagnetic interference."

Seventh Young Master sat on the futon tremblingly, with his head lowered, thinking about a question - How can I dare to sit here?

When he came, he took the Azure Wood Sect flying boat, and beside him were brothers and sisters with similar cultivation levels.

Unexpectedly, when I went back, I was taken aboard by Venerable Tongming on his own building ship.

In the hall, besides him, there were two Spirit Transformation...

"Zheng Fa refused?"

Seventh Young Master quietly pricked up his ears.

"Rejection... better to say polite rejection." Venerable Chengkong chuckled, "I'm not in a hurry, now I'm still dealing with Great Freedom Demon Cult..."

Venerable Tongming was silent for a while and then said:

"Sir, will you tolerate him?"

"He Golden Core is not in a hurry, why should I be?" Venerable Chengkong laughed, "It's common for him to be a little proud and unwilling to be inferior to others, but he will know sooner or later that if he doesn't get along with me Supreme Dao True Disciple, it will be over by Spirit Transformation."

"What's more, he will understand what I mean when I say Nine Mountains Realm is easy for others to take advantage of."

"..."

Venerable Tongming was silent for a long time, as if he had been stabbed.

"Sir... why are you so patient with this Zheng Fa?"

Venerable Tongming couldn't help but ask.

He has long understood the temperament of Venerable Chengkong these days - he is an extremely arrogant and impatient person.

The monk Hundred Herbs Sect wanted to help treat Pure Tranquility Bamboo, but after a few days with no results, he drove him away.

This man has little patience for others trying to please him.

But Zheng Fa has another face.

"... He is worth waiting for me." Venerable Chengkong raised the corner of his mouth and said.

"Did you know that Venerable Tianhe once wanted to join a big sect but couldn't?"

"..." Venerable Tongming understood what Venerable Chengkong meant.

"That sect has been ridiculed for hundreds of thousands of years..."

Venerable Tongming understands - Venerable Chengkong is so patient, probably because Venerable Tianhe... has been here before.

Seventh Young Master also understood that he had such special treatment probably because of Zheng Fa.

Even... this envoy from Supreme Dao actually intends to take Zheng Fa into Supreme Dao?

Zheng Fa still refused?

What's even more frightening is that the envoy did not give up...

Also treat Zheng Fa as Venerable Tianhe.

Mom... my son finally understands what you mean when you say I am lucky!

He smiled stupidly for a while, and suddenly there was a trace of sadness in his heart.

Gao Yuan has written to him before, but has not written to Zheng Fa.

He once asked about this, and Gao Yuan only replied with three words - inappropriate.

He thought he understood this at the time:

It's inappropriate because they have the same background, but the distance between the two is getting farther and farther, and their experiences are even more different. In fact, they can't talk about each other.

It's also because of... the self-esteem deep down in my heart and the fear of the relationship deteriorating.

Now, he understands better.

When Zheng Fa becomes more and more powerful, I'm afraid he will be like Gao Yuan in the future. Even writing a letter will feel like a kind of flattery...

He wanted to laugh a little and cry a little.

"In fact, if Zheng Fa is really like Venerable Tianhe, then waiting for him will not be patient..." Venerable Chengkong suddenly spoke again.

"Why can't I understand what the envoy said?"

Venerable Tongming was even more puzzled.

"Just think about it, who is willing to produce another Venerable Tianhe?"

Venerable Chengkong shook his head and asked.

"..." Thinking of Venerable Tianhe's deeds of flattening the world, Venerable Tongming also understood.

"If he is really like Venerable Tianhe, who comes to the door with a sword after a disagreement, then he will have a headache."

He suddenly understood what Venerable Chengkong meant:

Zheng Fa is practicing quietly in hiding, Venerable Chengkong doesn't want to force him...

Otherwise, if Venerable Tianhe is really forced to appear, maybe the first person to fall out with Zheng Fa will be Hundred Immortals Alliance.

Then there is no need to deal with Great Freedom Demon Cult... I can laugh them to death if I laugh.

Venerable Chengkong glanced at Venerable Tongming who consciously understood what he meant, and also smiled, as if there were some things he didn't want to say.

Venerable Tianhe, Great Freedom Demon Cult will not stand idly by...

"This Zheng Fa is indeed a bit timid..." Venerable Tongming said with a smile on his lips, "In other words, he is a true cultivator who devotes himself to cultivation and does not care about other things."

"That's fine. Since he only wants to practice, he will always ask for help from me in the future." Venerable Chengkong also nodded, "But there is one thing that is a bit strange."

"What?"

Venerable Chengkong did not answer his words, but turned his head and looked at Seventh Young Master.

"Let me ask you, what is the relationship between Zheng Fa and Chen Commandery?"

"Chen Commandery?"

Venerable Tongming was puzzled. He thought for a while and said with certainty, "I also know his whereabouts after joining the school. He has never been to Chen Commandery."

Venerable Chengkong nodded slightly. "That's true, but when Zheng Fa said goodbye to me, he actually asked me to collect some information about Chen Commandery."

"Especially the strength of the Great Freedom Demon Cult forces and the evil deeds they do there, he is interested in."

"It's actually a bit like taking action personally."

"..." Venerable Tongming frowned, "Although this Zheng Fa has never suffered a loss at the hands of Great Freedom Demon Cult, he has always avoided Great Freedom Demon Cult whenever possible. With his unconcerned temperament, how could he be like this?"

Seventh Young Master said, "Chen Commandery... A friend of ours must have died at the hands of Great Freedom Demon Cult."

The two masters were stunned, turned their heads, and stared at Seventh Young Master.

Venerable Tongming thought for a while:

"Woman?"

"Male."

"A favor to Zheng Fa?"

"Probably not."

"Is that a relative of Zheng Fa?"

"... It's just a friend. The one the envoy asked me about before is Gao Yuan."

Venerable Chengkong paused for a while and said, "Tell me in detail the relationship between Gao Yuan and Zheng Fa."

After listening to Seventh Young Master's words, both Venerable Chengkong were a little silent.

After a while, I heard Venerable Tongming say, "I'm going to Chen Commandery to have a look."

"..."

Venerable Chengkong looked at him.

"It's worth having a friend like Zheng Fa."

"I'll go too."

"Your Majesty?" Venerable Tongming said in surprise.

Venerable Chengkong chuckled lightly and said, "It's good to have such a junior brother."

Seventh Young Master lowered his head again and grinned slightly.

He doesn't know what kind of cultivation level it is that harmed Gao Yuan...

But the blessing of being served by two Spirit Transformation together is something that most people cannot bear.

Even listening to what Venerable Chengkong said, Zheng Fa still wanted to find an opportunity to take action.

That's three Spirit Transformation...

That person accumulated great virtue in his previous life!

Thinking of this, Seventh Young Master pursed his lips and wanted to laugh.

Zheng Fa sent Hundred Immortals Alliance away and followed Senior Sister Zhang to University Island.

On University Island, there is another yard, which is officially used by Madam Xuanhua to manufacture those experimental instruments.

The first step in making an instrument is naturally to get the Law Artifact with shielding function - otherwise everything after that will be impossible.

This Law Artifact, Madam Xuanhua has been produced.

There is a bracelet on the table, with the two Shielding Talisman Diagram engraved on it.

"This is it?"

Madam Xuanhua nodded, with a bit of arrogance on his face. "This thing is not difficult, it's just that it's a little troublesome to find available spiritual materials."

"Then where did this spiritual material come from?"

Zheng Fa asked curiously.

"We have tried all the spiritual materials purchased from the Xuanwei Realm and Marketplace, and this one has the best effect." Senior Sister Zhang explained, "Wearing this bracelet, Spiritual Qi has almost no interference with electromagnetic force within a radius of half a foot."

"Almost?"

"After all, this bracelet is only Law Artifact, and its effect is limited. After Xiao Fairy was tested, Thunder Method below Golden Core is basically ineffective. Above Golden Core, it depends on the attainment of Thunder Method."

"What about the cost?"

"It's cheap, but it's not very useful."

Madam Xuanhua sighed and said, "This thing is only effective when you are experimenting and cannot be used as a defense Law Treasure."

"Huh?"

Zheng Fa looked towards Madam Xuanhua and heard her explain:

"For example, Yuying, she inspires thunder from a distance, and this thing can't be guarded against."

Zheng Fa nodded. This thing is indeed the case. It can resist Spiritual Qi's interference with electromagnetic force, but it has no effect on the electromagnetic force itself.

To be honest, if this thing is useful for electromagnetic force... it will not be able to create the instrument Zheng Fa wants.

Take an electron microscope, for example. In theory, it shoots electrons towards the substance being detected. It would be embarrassing if it was blocked by this bracelet.

"On the other hand, if you wear this bracelet, your lightning defense Law Artifact will also be ineffective."

Zheng Fa also understands Madam Xuanhua's depression.

Those Law Artifact are also made based on the control of electromagnetic force by Spiritual Qi.

This is equivalent to the anti-virus software killing your own firewall...

"But if you modify this thing and use it on the instruments you mentioned, it should be of some use."

Zheng Fa nodded slightly, but looking at the bracelet, he thought of something else...

"Madam, can you help me make something special?"

"What?"

"Just, a piece of copper or iron, stretched into filaments and woven into something like a cage."

"..."

Madam Xuanhua looked at him for a long time and suddenly said, "Isn't it a spiritual material?"

"No."

"Mortal things?"

"Yes."

"I am a Nascent Soul master of weapon refining. Do you know how many Spirit Stone I can make at one time? You want me to make you this thing for mortals..." Madam Xuanhua asked through gritted teeth.

Zheng Fa was stunned for a moment, and he just remembered it by patting his forehead.

I didn't expect it to hurt Madam Xuanhua's self-esteem.

After thinking about it, he found a few disciples from Golden Core Engineering who were good at refining weapons.

Zheng Fa What he said was indeed not difficult. Soon, a silver sphere made of metal wire appeared in front of everyone.

The ball stands on the ground and has a door that can be opened and closed.

Zheng Fa thought about it, put on the bracelet, walked into the ball, and said to Xiao Yuying, "Xiao Fairy, try using Thunder Method on me."

Xiao Yuying blinked his eyes, his eyes full of confusion, but he still moved his finger, and a blue Heavenly Thunder fell straight from the sky Zheng Fa.

On the metal ball, crackling electric sparks appeared, which was extremely dazzling.

Xiao Fairy is a bit cruel...

But the people present were all monks, so naturally they all had extraordinary eyesight, and they could see even more - although the lightning on those filaments was like running water, there was no thunder inside the metal ball!

Zheng Fa sat inside without even moving a finger!

Madam Xuanhua ran outside the cage, looked at Zheng Fa, and asked, "Did you use Secret Method?"

"No."

"Hidden a Law Treasure?"

"... Madam, don't you understand how poor I, Nine Mountains Sect, am?"

"Then this is..."

Zheng Fa looked at the metal ball and smiled secretly in his heart: This Law Treasure is called Faraday Cage...

"Madam, do you think this thing, plus the bracelet, can be considered a defense Law Treasure?"

Madam Xuanhua was silent for a long time before speaking, "Judging from its cost, calling it Law Treasure would be an insult..."

"To be honored as a treasure!"
