Chapter 431: Chapter 239 Familiar to the Ear, Jiushan Forum_2
Cheng Kong Master was all smiles, seemingly placing great importance on this person.
“He is from the Hundred Immortals Alliance.”
Yan Wushuang was taken aback.
“His talent in talismanic magic is extremely high.”
Yan Wushuang scratched his head.
“His talent in Thunder Skill is even more extraordinary.”
Yan Wushuang glanced sideways at his senior sister.
“Although he’s only at the Golden Core stage, he could be regarded as at the Divinity Transformation stage.”
Xie Qingxue also had a peculiar expression and spoke, “Is this person’s surname Zheng?”
“You know him too, Qingxue?”
“…Sounds familiar.”
Xie Qingxue turned her head to look at Yan Wushuang, who covered her mouth, her eyes brimming with laughter.
“…What’s so funny?”
“Senior sister, I didn’t bring up Zheng Fa!”
Seeing their conversation, Cheng Kong Master grew curious and asked, “Do you know Zheng Fa?”
“Know him?” Yan Wushuang’s tone was as if he wanted to put his hands on his hips, “I know Zheng Fa all too well!”
“…”
“My dad knows too! Otherwise, would I be able to come here?”
Xie Qingxue glared at him, looking like she wanted to hit someone—this fellow, insidious, got kicked out by the Sect Leader with a single kick.
He still has this sense of pride?
Unexpectedly, Cheng Kong Master also furrowed his brows.
He had heard from Xie Qingxue about Yan Wushuang’s identity, the son of the Tianhe Sect Leader…
So, are Yan Wushuang’s words suggesting that the Tianhe Sect also highly values Zheng Fa?
Even earlier than himself?
He exchanged glances with Tongming Master, both discerning worry in each other’s eyes.
After settling the two in Tongming Mountain, Cheng Kong Master turned to Tongming Master and asked, “Do you think, does the Tianhe Sect also have intentions for Zheng Fa?”
Tongming Master pondered for a long while before speaking, “Tianhe Sect does not easily accept disciples…”
Cheng Kong Master slowly nodded, his expression slightly reassured.
“But…that’s Zheng Fa.”
Tongming Master added.
Cheng Kong Master’s neck stiffened, he remained still, deep in thought, and after a long silence said, “What do you think… Zheng Fa likes?”
…
Zheng Fa was quite fond of his new magical treasure.
This was a jade disc emitting a slight purple aura, floating in front of him.
The surface of the disc featured intricate gold filigree embossments depicting various talismanic diagrams, these patterns were not fixed but flowed across its surface.
In them were the Five Elements Ring, Twelve Solar Terms Thunder, Shielding Talisman, and more, most of which were talismanic diagrams uniquely discovered by Zheng Fa or Zhang.
As the jade disc unfolded, inside were pages of jade pieces, most were empty, but one had some text.
“Simulating Yunling Jade, could it really work…”
Even though it wasn’t her first time seeing this object, Lady Xuanhua couldn’t help but exclaim.
Zheng Fa was also pleasantly surprised; during the process of simulating Yunling Jade, Zheng Fa discovered—simulating spiritual material was simpler than he imagined:
Spiritual elements consisted of two parts—
One is the original atom, the other is the Five Elements Sub-talisman.
Each atom combines with a Five Elements Sub-talisman.
After a period of experimentation, Zheng Fa finally understood how to simulate spiritual materials—if the number of protons and the number of Five Elements Sub-talismans are the same, similar properties of spiritual materials can be simulated.
On one hand, through the Golden Core Project, Zheng Fa figured out which particles were produced in his Dantian.
On the other hand, he measured the composition of various spiritual materials through the Five Elements Divine Light.
Simulating became a matter of course.
Even this Creation Jade Disc—named quite nicely by Old Man Bai, in terms of information capacity, actually surpassed Yunling Jade slightly:
In Zheng Fa’s view, it’s likely because the materials generated from his Dantian were purer than natural Yunling Jade.
The Creation Jade Disc was naturally not perfect, not even close to powerful, in fact… it can’t even be said to be fully refined.
Currently, Zheng Fa was only at the early stages of Golden Core, the magical treasure could only just be said to be taking shape, far from the grand title of the Creation Jade Disc.
Such imperfection was manifested in the current server’s computing power, storage capabilities, bandwidth among other things, all extremely limited.
“Here.”
Lady Xuanhua waved her hand, and dozens of golden letter-shaped copper mirrors flew in front of everyone.
“This jade disc can currently connect only a hundred Comprehensive Records.”
These mobile devices, no, copper mirrors… were now named by Zheng Fa as Comprehensive Records.
The name was taken from comprehending changes through the ages, reflecting between heaven and mankind.
Zheng Fa tapped his finger, and the Creation Jade Disc emitted dozens of purple lights, enveloping these dozens of Comprehensive Records.
A moment later, the Creation Jade Disc slowly retracted its glow. Yuan approached Zheng Fa, picked up a Comprehensive Record, and curiously touched the reflective surface.
“Sister, infuse your Divine Sense into it,”
suggested Zheng Fa.
Following his instruction, Yuan tried it and was slightly surprised:
“This is kind of like the news!”
“But, what is this Jiushan Forum?”
Yuan asked, puzzled.
“The forum is a place for Jiushan disciples to exchange information,”
Zhang and others picked up a Comprehensive Record, infused their Divine Sense, and saw a light screen appear in their Sea of Consciousness, with ‘Jiushan Forum’ written in the top left corner.
Currently, due to the incomplete perfection of the Creation Jade Disc, he had only managed to create a forum.
It was even somewhat equivalent to a beta test.
He planned to distribute these Comprehensive Records to some more distinguished disciples:
Such as those above the Golden Core.
Or those who had participated in the “Golden Core Project.”
Or those who had excelled in various subjects.
Controlling forum membership was naturally because Zheng Fa’s power was insufficient; he couldn’t allow everyone in the Jiushan Realm, not even all formal Jiushan Sect disciples, to use the Comprehensive Records.
On the other hand, he also wanted to use some of the more outstanding disciples to shape the forum’s atmosphere…
In Zheng Fa’s view, the Jiushan Forum should primarily focus on knowledge exchange, question solving, and clarifying doubts.
Simply put: a Q&A website.
Seeing Zhang and others still puzzled, Zheng Fa thought for a moment and posted in the forum:
“Newbie Guide.”
Zhang and others, upon seeing this, clicked into the post.
“A Q&A discussion?” Master Pang considered for a moment and said, “Not bad, these disciples each have their strengths, and there’s potential for mutual complementation.”
“Not just that, the rewards for good deeds are interesting,” Elder Yuan stroked his chin and said: “This way, our Jiushan Sect really becomes a place where the more you learn, the wealthier you get.”
However, Zhang furrowed her brows and asked: “What does it mean by choosing to post anonymously?”
“Well, it’s to encourage the disciples to speak up and ask questions.”
Anonymity, to some extent, allows disciples to speak freely—after all, the Xuanwei Realm has a strict hierarchy, and many disciples are afraid to speak the truth or unwilling to speak the truth.
On the other hand, the Xuanwei Realm does not look down on asking questions:
For instance, suppose Master Pang has some doubts but, due to his status, is reluctant to seek help on the forum…
Anonymous mode is then quite necessary.
“You really don’t know who posted it?”
“These Comprehensive Records are not registered to names,”
Zheng Fa said with a smile.
“What about using locations or something?”
“These things can be obscured by spells.”
“That’s true…”
Master Pang nodded slowly, and Zheng Fa clearly saw that Master Pang’s interest in the Comprehensive Records had increased significantly.
Not just Master Pang, Elder Yuan and others as well…
“Master, this device is still meant for philosophical debates and answering questions.”
Zheng Fa always felt something was a bit off.
“Q&A, right, got it!”
Master Pang nodded continuously, understanding clearly.
…
In the evening, the Jiushan Forum suddenly had its first post, anonymously:
“To tell the truth, among the three Supreme of the Jiushan Sect, who teaches disciples the best?”
Upon seeing the content of the post, Zheng Fa knew who posted it—the post said that among the three Supreme, he thought Master Pang was the most earnest and caring in teaching disciples, and one shouldn’t judge solely based on the disciples’ achievements!
The second comment wasn’t anonymous, it was Elder Yuan: “Pang, aren’t you going to accept it? You thought I wouldn’t recognize you just because you changed your appearance?”
The fourth comment was also not anonymous, it was Junior Master Huang: “What Elder Yuan said is right.”
These two were Nascent Souls and elders, and thus spoke with great confidence.
The others who commented were all anonymous.
None of them thought Master Pang was the better teacher…
One comment was even tear-jerking:
“Do you know what Master Pang says to his disciples?”
“He says this disciple has good potential, first defeat Zhang, then beat Zheng…”
“Master Pang, why don’t you try it yourself?”
Zheng Fa twitched his lips, thinking that everyone truly hadn’t gotten the hang of anonymity, like this person.
Junior Zhou, please remain anonymous…
