"So, in order to coax True Person Zhang, you created Spirit Transformation Cultivation Method. In order to coax your sister, you created New-Style Comprehensive Mirror?"
University Island, in a side hall next to Nine-Chapter Calculation Formation, Madam Xuanhua stared at Comprehensive Mirror in his hand and asked Zheng Fa.
The tone was strange, even dejected.
It's not just Madam Xuanhua who is in the palace.
Nine Mountains Realm All monks above Nascent Soul are here.
Uncle-Master Pang and Aunt-Master Huang stood beside Senior Sister Zhang and whispered.
Azure Wood Sect, Elder Xiong and Sect Master Song also hold Comprehensive Mirror in their hands and are exploring curiously.
Xie Qingxue and Xiao Yuying stood together, Old Han was beside them. Hearing this, he also looked at Zheng Fa with doubtful eyes.
In a corner of the hall, Jiao Wuji and Blood River Ancestor stood quietly and low-key, appearing unsocial.
Zheng Fa first asked Uncle-Master Pang: "Are all the disciples back?"
Uncle-Master Pang said with a solemn expression, "I'm back, Han Qi they were the latest and only arrived yesterday."
Zheng Fa nodded lightly, and seeing Madam Xuanhua still holding Comprehensive Mirror to look at him, he smiled and said, "That's not entirely the case, it's just a coincidence. I had many ideas about Comprehensive Mirror before, but it was delayed because Creation Jade Disc failed to perfect it."
He named Creation Jade Disc as Life-bound Dharma Treasure, not just to create a gossip forum.
It's just that he didn't have enough cultivation before, and he didn't have the algorithm available. He wanted to build a server, but he was unable to do it.
Madam Xuanhua heard this and stared at his head with a strange look:
Zheng Fa felt a slight chill on my forehead.
This Nine Mountains No. 1 weapon refiner seems to want to open his own skull.
Seeing Madam Xuanhua like this, Uncle-Master Pang naturally understood that this Comprehensive Mirror was not simple, and his face was full of curiosity. "What is different about this new Comprehensive Mirror? Is it very powerful?"
Now the entire Nine Mountains Realm, except for Zheng Fa, Madam Xuanhua, the manufacturer of Comprehensive Mirror, understands the full function of this New Method device.
Even Senior Sister Zhang looked at Zheng Fa with curiosity in his eyes.
"There is no ability to attack." Madam Xuanhua shook his head first, then smiled, "But this Comprehensive Mirror will probably become the most widely circulated Law Artifact in the entire Xuanwei Realm."
She paused and then said, "I dare to say that in the future, all Xuanwei monks can live without any Law Artifact Law Treasure, and they cannot live without Comprehensive Mirror."
This assertion is too certain and even unbelievable.
Even Xie Qingxue showed a surprised expression. She tapped Comprehensive Mirror with her hand and saw six patterns on the interface. The lines of these patterns were simple, almost childish, and looked like simple drawings.
Xie Qingxue said softly, "Is it because of these six patterns?"
Madam Xuanhua didn't answer, but looked at Zheng Fa. Zheng Fa's mind moved, and Creation Jade Disc flew out from Dantian, projecting a light curtain over the heads of everyone.
In the light curtain, there are exactly the six patterns Xie Qingxue mentioned.
"These six... I call them applications."
"Application?"
Zheng Fa looked at the six applications in the light curtain, his eyes full of nostalgia:
When he first learned about the existence of a smartphone, his shock was more than ten times greater than what it is now. Madam Xuanhua felt that this was a creation of the gods.
The future Madam Xuanhua talks about is reality in modern times.
"These six applications can be said to be the six new functions of Comprehensive Mirror." Zheng Fa first clicked on an application in the upper right corner and explained, "This is Nine Mountains Forum. There are no changes."
Everyone was old enough to play forums. Looking at the familiar interface, they didn't find it new. Uncle-Master Pang asked:
"What about the other five?"
"Among the other five applications, two are just like Nine Mountains Forum, exclusively for use by the Nine Mountains Sect disciples."
Because smart phones, no, the new Comprehensive Mirror are new gadgets to these people, Zheng Fa explained in particularly detail:
"The one on the far left is Remote Classroom."
"Remote Classroom?"
This word is a bit strange to this group of Xuanwei monks, but it is not difficult to understand.
Uncle-Master Pang guessed. "For class?"
"Yes, this Remote Classroom has two main functions." Zheng Fa clicked on Remote Classroom, pointed at the new interface and explained to them, "First, it is remote teaching."
"In the future, even those disciples who are performing tasks outside will not miss classes."
"Even if you don't have time, this app also has a course playback function."
Uncle-Master Pang was happy when he heard this and nodded his head wildly. "This is good, this is good! I was thinking that my disciples were out investigating every day and couldn't come University Island and missed class."
"In the future, they will investigate during the day and study at night, so there will be no delay."
He touched the Comprehensive Mirror in his hand, looking like he couldn't put it down.
Obviously it is for the happiness of his disciples.
Looking at Uncle-Master Pang's expression, Zheng Fa guessed that it would be difficult for those disciples to smile as brightly as Uncle-Master Pang...
He turned around and continued to introduce the application:
"In addition to these two major functions, this Remote Classroom also has small functions such as teacher Q&A, online seminars and homework submissions. They are all very simple and you can slowly figure them out."
After hearing this, Xie Qingxue seemed to understand what Madam Xuanhua said, "This Remote Classroom alone is of great significance to the Nine Mountains Sect."
Madam Xuanhua smiled at her after hearing this.
Xie Qingxue blinked, feeling that there was some pity in this smile, as if he was looking at a country bumpkin.
She was not angry, but had some guesses in her mind and looked at the other four applications in the light curtain.
"The last application is only for internal use of the Nine Mountains Realm, I call it Dao Discussion."
"Dao Discussion?" Xie Qingxue opened her red lips lightly and repeated these two words, her tone full of doubts.
Apparently these two words were too vague for her to figure out what this application was for.
Zheng Fa smiled and explained, "If Remote Classroom, it is to facilitate the disciples' learning."
"Dao Discussion is... used for disciples to exchange their own experiences or research results with each other."
"Isn't this the same as Nine Mountains Forum?" Uncle-Master Pang interjected.
"Originally Nine Mountains Forum was doing this, but the current trend..."
When Zheng Fa said this, he glanced at Uncle-Master Pang, his eyes speechless.
"... The atmosphere of the forum is not caused by me... it's not entirely me who brought it down!"
Uncle-Master Pang's voice is getting lower and lower, obviously he has no confidence.
"Dao Discussion is for disciples to upload papers, and comments can only be limited to papers related."
Nine Mountains Forum is not useless now. The biggest use is to make Zheng Fa take advantage of it... No, it is to grasp public opinion, discover Nine Mountains Sect's internal problems, and collect the opinions of disciples.
As for Dao Discussion, in Zheng Fa's mind, it is a bit like modern paper preprint websites, such as arXiv.
"The main purpose of Dao Discussion is to cultivate a research atmosphere among disciples. This application can lower the threshold for disciples to publish papers."
"<Immortal Way> should not include too many papers. Even if several other journals are included, the number of papers that can be published is limited."
"But Dao Discussion has almost no threshold, and it can also strengthen academic exchanges among disciples."
The other people listened, understood Zheng Fa's thoughts, and nodded one after another.
"Senior Sister Zhang, I plan to set up a Merit reward pool in Dao Discussion every month to give to some authors of papers with potential or great impact."
After hearing this, Senior Sister Zhang frowned and looked at Zheng Fa, asking, "Why is that so?"
"Of course we encourage them to study." Zheng Fa explained, "Sister, you can estimate the specific amount of good deeds yourself."
Having said this, Zheng Fa sighed again, "This will also promote each disciple to share his unique knowledge."
Nine Mountains Sect disciples are still more inclined to the philosophy of Xuanwei monks. Many people like to keep their knowledge to themselves and are unwilling to reveal their exclusive insights about their research results.
The reward Merit is actually unavoidable and is an inducement.
"Not only Merit, but in the future, <Immortal Way> and major journals can also select manuscripts from Dao Discussion, so that those disciples can see the benefits of publishing papers on Dao Discussion." Zheng Fa explained his thoughts to everyone.
"Then what's the use of these journals?" Uncle-Master Pang couldn't help but ask, "Aren't they all publishing papers?"
Zheng Fa looked at the crowd and saw that they were also puzzled, so he simply explained the system he had set up in detail.
"Dao Discussion has a low threshold, and the Merit reward is one-time. More importantly, it is to encourage disciples to research and strengthen academic exchanges."
"The role of major journals is to select those disciples who are truly talented in research." At this point, Zheng Fa looked at Uncle-Master Pang, "I have called everyone and the disciples back for further reform of the Nine Mountains."
"Starting today, Nine Mountains Sect disciples will conduct Specialized Tracks, and some of them will become research disciples."
"Although there are still five levels: outer door, inner door, True Disciple, elder, and Taishang, the evaluation standards are different."
Uncle-Master Pang suddenly said, "Use journals to evaluate?"
"Journals are the most important factor. At least research-oriented disciples who want to be promoted to True Disciple need to publish in corresponding journals."
"After upgrading their level, they not only enjoy certain rights, but can also apply for funding and conduct their own research."
Uncle-Master Pang nodded slowly, finally understanding. "Dao Discussion is actually still a forum, just focused on research? The journal is more strict?"
Zheng Fa smiled and nodded. He thought for a moment and then said, "Actually, it's more than that. I'm going to set up some research-related awards."
"Award?"
"Well, to reward those research results that have great impact or have breakthroughs. With the Merit number for this award, I am going to set a high standard."
"High standards?"
"At least these disciples can practice to the Nascent Soul Realm."
Everyone's faces showed surprise.
Because the standard is really high.
Aunt-Master Huang had saved up all his life and had saved up the resources to give Senior Sister Zhang Nascent Soul Formation. At that time, Senior Sister Zhang said he would give it to Zheng Fa, but she was reluctant to part with it.
It can be seen that the amount of Merit is huge.
It can be imagined that Zheng Fa attaches great importance to this award.
"Uncle Master, it has been more than four years since University Island expanded its enrollment. The first batch of disciples, including those old disciples, have almost accumulated a certain amount of knowledge."
"Nine Mountains University's focus must shift from education to research, at least to equal emphasis on research and education."
As soon as he said this, Senior Sister Zhang immediately agreed, "Nowadays, education expenditure accounts for more than 20% of the Nine Mountains Realm's overall expenditure. Even because the number of disciples increases every year, the expenditure is getting more and more. We should really consider the issue of return. Otherwise, it is putting the cart before the horse, and Nine Mountains Realm will not be able to afford it."
Education is a good thing.
But if the monks they educate cannot produce value... then Nine Mountains Realm can be held back to death.
Therefore, research and output must be encouraged.
Among the plans of Zheng Fa, Dao Discussion has the lowest application threshold. It is to cultivate students' academic communication habits, or in other words, it is more like an academic communication forum.
Journals such as <Immortal Way> are the serious academic promotion system, affecting resource allocation and project investment.
Research awards truly establish the status of top researchers and create an atmosphere that puts scientific research first.
The three are combined to form the scientific research system of the Nine Mountains Realm.
"Reform?"
Xie Qingxue thought in his heart.
Her eyes were a little complicated, and she remembered what she heard about Founder from her master.
After hearing the word reform, she unconsciously compared Zheng Fa and Founder.
Today's Zheng Fa is very similar to Founder, but not so similar.
Like Founder, it's because of his extraordinary talent. Spirit Transformation Cultivation Method is as good as it sounds, and it's even tailor-made for Zhang Wuyi.
But unlike Founder, there are more places.
She raised her head and glanced at Old Han, and saw Old Han slowly shaking his head. "Xuanwei Realm has no such sect."
Xiao Yuying also said softly:
"None of the past or present."
This is where Zheng Fa is different from Founder:
Nine Mountains Sect Today's model places so much emphasis on disciples and the spirit of cultivating talents, Xuanwei Realm is unprecedented.
The Tianhe Sect in the hands of Founder is actually not fundamentally different from other sects.
So in the end, Founder is the only one left.
And Zheng Dharma Body...
She looked at Old Han, Xiao Yuying, even Blood River Ancestor and Elder Xiong, and sighed in her heart.
I just keep thinking about others, so I think Zheng Dharma Body has so many comrades from different backgrounds unknowingly.
Zheng Fa doesn't know Xie Qingxue's feelings. Speaking of which, he is not as selfless as Xie Qingxue thinks.
Whether it is Dao Discussion or innovating the Nine Mountains Sect system, it is actually more for himself.
Creation Jade Disc has evolved and initially has the ability to search and even summarize and classify to a certain extent. In the future, when Zheng Fa's strength improves, it will not be difficult to write various artificial intelligence algorithms.
But artificial intelligence is not perfect, nor is it omnipotent.
This thing requires data, even massive amounts of high-quality data, to be effective.
The gossip in Nine Mountains Forum is totally unacceptable.
And the character of monk Xuanwei likes to hide things, and a lot of knowledge is only spread in a small area.
If Zheng Fa wants high-quality data, it can only encourage academic exchanges and improve the status of researchers, thereby changing the atmosphere of the Nine Mountains Realm.
The more papers in Dao Discussion, the richer the results in the journal, the more sufficient data Creation Jade Disc can be used for deduction, and the more powerful this Life-bound Dharma Treasure is.
Compared to this matter, no matter how many Merit there are, they are nothing.
Zheng Fa looked at Creation Jade Disc above his head, secretly expecting:
Maybe then, my Law Treasure will be worthy of its name.
Everyone was secretly thinking about the changes Zheng Fa had brought to the Nine Mountains Realm through these three applications, but Uncle-Master Pang asked:
"Dao Discussion can make Comprehensive Mirror popular throughout the Xuanwei Realm? Nine Mountains Forum. If I understand the meaning of Zheng Fa correctly, outsiders cannot use these three applications, right?"
Madam Xuanhua saw him asking, glanced at Zheng Fa and said:
"Of course not. These three applications may only be able to change Nine Mountains Realm. The other three applications can change the entire Xuanwei!"
Madam Xuanhua even had an expression of pride on his face.
These words were so loud that not only Uncle-Master Pang, but others were also aroused.
They looked at the light curtain in the hall and wondered what the other three applications were for.
Madam Xuanhua is not usually a boastful person, nor is he an ignorant person.
This Nine Mountains was the first person to refine weapons. In the past, there were more than one Law Treasure.
This Comprehensive Mirror is just Law Artifact, but she praised it so highly, even a little too much.
Everyone knows that she is just the refiner of Comprehensive Mirror, but her face is full of pride from the bottom of her heart.
How to keep them from getting curious?
"Xuanhua, how about you tell me?"
Seeing Madam Xuanhua like this, Zheng Fa also laughed.
"Me?" Madam Xuanhua looked surprised, actually worried about gains and losses.
"Many of these Comprehensive Mirror ideas were originally perfected by you. Without you, there would be no Law Artifact."
Seeing her so stunned, Zheng Fa smiled.
Madam Xuanhua had a flush on his face, as if he was extremely excited, and everyone was stunned for a moment.
Not...
What are these three applications?
Let Madam Xuanhua and Nascent Soul be so rude?
Seeing Zheng Fa nodding towards him, seemingly affirming, Madam Xuanhua took a deep breath, faced everyone's eyes, and solemnly explained:
"I have been refining weapons for thousands of years, and I always have thousands of Law Artifact Law Treasure."
"But I know that my qualifications are actually mediocre, and I can't leave much of a reputation in the art of weapon refining."
"Back then, my husband said that I was too skilled in craftsmanship but not spiritual enough. He was right, and I actually accepted my fate."
Madam Xuanhua's fingertips slowly rubbed the texture on the surface of Comprehensive Mirror, with a look that was a little nostalgic, but also a little unwilling.
She looked up at the light curtain and suddenly smiled:
"But I can be sure now, because of this Comprehensive Mirror, even if one hundred thousand and millions of years pass, monks all over the world will still remember my name Xuanhua."
The expression on her face shocked everyone in the hall, and everyone could read a sentence from her eyes:
If you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening.
Zheng Fa looked at Madam Xuanhua with a smile in his eyes - although smartphones are ubiquitous in modern times, it does not mean that they are not technologically advanced.
The New-Style Comprehensive Mirror produced by imitating the principle of a smartphone is enough to make a craftsman like Madam Xuanhua stunned and even die without regrets.
Madam Xuanhua pointed his hand, tapped on the fourth application, and explained:
"This, Sect Leader calls it Spirit Message."
"Spirit Message? What is it for?"
Uncle-Master Pang asked.
"This is for monks to communicate with each other."
"To communicate with each other?" Uncle-Master Pang was stunned for a moment and asked blankly, "Isn't this Communication Talisman?"
"No, Zheng Fa calls it real-time messaging." Madam Xuanhua shook his head violently, as if he felt that Uncle-Master Pang underestimated this application.
"Real time?"
Uncle-Master Pang is a little confused.
Zheng Fa smiled, clicked on Spirit Message's contact list, and tapped on Uncle-Master Pang's avatar.
Then, Zheng Fa's avatar popped up on Uncle-Master Pang Comprehensive Mirror.
"This is..." Uncle-Master Pang is self-taught, just a little bit on Zheng Fa's avatar.
You can see the halo changing on Comprehensive Mirror, and the situation in the side hall is revealed in every detail.
Zheng Fa stood in the screen, looking up and smiling at him.
Uncle-Master Pang was stunned for a moment, then shouted loudly:
"Isn't this the same as meeting directly?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard an identical exclamation coming from above his head. When Uncle-Master Pang looked up, he saw that his big fat face was filling the entire light screen, his nostrils facing everyone, and he was shouting in a fuss.
"... cough."
Uncle-Master Pang coughed lightly, adjusted the angle, and gave everyone a calm and gentle smile.
"This Spirit Message is faster than Communication Talisman, and the operation is easier. It can even communicate with multiple people at the same time." Seeing him like this, Madam Xuanhua smiled proudly and continued.
"With this Spirit Message, Communication Talisman has become a thing of the past and has no place anymore!"
Communication Talisman can actually be said to be the first talisman of Xuanwei.
Almost every monk can't live without it.
But even Senior Sister Zhang has to admit that the only application of Spirit Message has really pronounced the death of Communication Talisman.
Spirit Message is not only faster, but also allows multiple people to talk at the same time. It far surpasses Communication Talisman in terms of functionality.
Moreover, this application is easy to operate, no symbols are required, and even a fool can use it.
Madam Xuanhua said that in the future, monks will be inseparable from Comprehensive Mirror, which is absolutely not false.
Everyone in the hall opened Spirit Message curiously. You send me a message and I will make a video call to you.
A group of monks above Nascent Soul were having a great time.
Zheng Fa also felt a little proud:
It's time for the Xuanwei Realm to see what a killer app is...
Although Communication Talisman is fast and convenient, the model is a bit like email in the early years.
Spirit Message is like real-time messaging software.
Although email still plays its role in modern times, in terms of number of users, it is not the same as various real-time communication software.
Uncle-Master Pang played with it for a while, suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile:
"This way, it will be much safer for my disciples to come out with the Nine Mountains Realm!"
"In case of danger, just use Spirit Message to communicate."
What Uncle-Master Pang thinks is indeed one of the purposes of Zheng Fa in developing Spirit Message.
Before, Nine Mountains Realm still relied on Nine Mountains Forum to exchange information, which was actually a bit inconvenient. With Spirit Message, information dissemination is much faster.
The people in the palace may have never seen a smart phone, but they are not stupid, and they all immediately understood that Spirit Message has many functions.
Xiao Yuying looked at the interface of Spirit Message, with waves in her eyes. She looked at Zheng Fa and suddenly said, "With just this kind of Law Artifact, I'm afraid it can bring an endless supply of Spirit Stone to the Nine Mountains Realm, right?"
Upon hearing this, Uncle-Master Pang was stunned for a moment, and then jumped up with joy.
"That's right! This application is so convenient and useful, why don't everyone have one in the future? Only our Nine Mountains Realm can make Comprehensive Mirror, isn't it a unique business? Then our Nine Mountains Sect, will we be short of Spirit Stone in the future?"
His mouth was grinning widely and his expression was dreamy, as if he saw a mountain of Spirit Stone piled in front of him.
Madam Xuanhua smiled and said, "Pang True Person, do you think this is enough?"
"Ah? Isn't this enough?"
Uncle-Master Pang was stunned and heard Madam Xuanhua say, "It's not just Comprehensive Mirror itself that makes money."
"What else?"
"There are also applications."
"It costs money to use Spirit Message?"
"Sect Leader said that Spirit Message is a basic application. People buy it just for this function and there is no charge. But the other two applications are not."
Uncle-Master Pang After hearing this, he looked at the last two applications.
"These two applications, one is Nine Mountains Marketplace and the other is Nine Mountains Entertainment."
"These two are the most powerful people, and can bring Nine Mountains Sect a steady stream of Spirit Stone."
"Sect Leader's idea of making money through apps is truly a genius! It's definitely a great initiative for Xuanwei!"
Madam Xuanhua's tone was extremely soft, and the way she looked at Comprehensive Mirror was as if she was looking at the love of her life.
Seeing Madam Xuanhua's expression, Zheng Fa suddenly felt strange:
A craftsman who loves money as much as his life saw a Law Artifact that could make money while lying down. It was fate and he fell in love at first sight.
He originally thought that Madam Xuanhua was so excited and had no regrets about dying because he had seen the high-end weapon refining method.
After working on it for a long time, the great way you realized... is the way to make money by being unworthy of others?
