Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World
Chapter 566 - 281: Dao Fruit Evolution, Immortals in the World!
CHAPTER 566: CHAPTER 281: DAO FRUIT EVOLUTION, IMMORTALS IN THE WORLD!
The influence of the Fusang Wood on the modern world is greater than Zheng Fa had imagined.
Although the Fusang Wood has not matured yet, it inexplicably brought spiritual energy to this planet!
Zheng Fa introspected his body and found that the consumption of spiritual power within him wasn’t greater than before, meaning, this spiritual energy didn’t come from him.
Could it be that, just like the Qingjing Bamboo which allowed the Jiushan Realm to grow,
the Fusang Wood can also generate spiritual energy in the modern world?
And this spiritual power doesn’t even come from oneself...
In this way, it’s normal for some people to cultivate inner strength. Without spiritual energy,
it should just be called radio calisthenics.
But with spiritual energy,
it has to be respectfully called a martial arts secret book.
After hearing Zheng Fa’s explanation, Group Leader Yang was silent for a while, and only after a long pause did she say: "This matter is too significant..."
Zheng Fa nodded silently.
The revival of spiritual energy could evidently alter the world’s structure.
On the other end of the phone, Dean Yang seemed to be speaking with someone; after a while, he said to Zheng Fa: "Dean Zheng, are you available?"
"Hmm?"
Group Leader Yang explained on the other end, saying a prominent figure wishes to visit Zheng Fa to discuss what to do next.
Evidently in a bit of a hurry.
Zheng Fa pondered slightly, and saw Tang Lingwu standing gracefully at the door, eyes full of anticipation.
"Uh... a bit busy."
"Then you carry on, you carry on..."
Obviously, Group Leader Yang was even more respectful than before, making Zheng Fa feel a bit embarrassed.
Their attitude had always been good, so Zheng Fa also had a certain degree of respect.
"After I accompany Tang Lingwu shopping... should I come over to visit you directly?"
He suggested proactively, without demanding they come up the mountain.
Over there, Group Leader Yang was unusually silent for a long time, before finally and reluctantly saying: "Alright..."
She hung up the phone, and heard a staff member beside her mutter: "For a little girl..."
Group Leader Yang’s face turned dangerous; she glanced at the person, and said coldly: "You’ll be transferred to another department in the future."
"Yang Group..."
Group Leader Yang watched the person leave in disappointment and resentment, mocking internally. Now, working in coordination with Zheng Fa was a good opportunity, and many people with backgrounds were being pushed in. She didn’t mind—after all, she was such a person herself.
But people without brains can never stay.
Given how much Zheng Fa cares about Tang Lingwu, she must at least address her as Chairman Tang when she sees her in the future...
...
Three days after Zheng Fa’s visit to Beijing, Group Leader Yang brought a filming team to Rainbow Mountain.
Old Man Bai was tidying his curls with excitement—
because this recording was the retirement home’s opening to the outside world.
Now that the emergence of spiritual energy is irreversible, it’s not a bad thing.
The entire modern world is facing a transformation.
For the nation, it’s about how to minimize upheaval and maximize benefits during this transformation.
For Zheng Fa, he hopes that the emergence of spiritual energy in the modern world will bring him more benefits.
Both sides eventually decided not to hide it anymore but to make a documentary.
"Dean Zheng, this is our recording plan."
Zheng Fa picked it up and glanced at it; the documentary was divided into three episodes.
The first episode mainly introduces the agricultural progress of the retirement home, including various spirit plants and high-yield crops.
The second episode focuses on other fields:
primarily around major tools like the Simple Golden Core.
The last one introduces the retirement home itself.
Group Leader Yang was explaining beside him:
"This is how we envisioned the three episodes."
"The first episode, introducing agricultural development, is to calm the anxieties on the internet."
Zheng Fa nodded silently; this was indeed a solution.
The great change in the world may be hard for many to accept, and there are many who wish for chaos.
By explaining agricultural development and introducing high-yield crops and spirit plants, it actually suggests that this change has brought very good impacts.
"As for the second episode, it’s about talking to everyone about what might happen in the future..." Group Leader Yang paused for a moment, "this way, it’s more convincing."
The thought process is quite simple.
The first episode talks about the present, telling everyone not to panic.
The second episode talks about the future, telling everyone that good days are ahead.
"The third episode..." Group Leader Yang’s voice was a bit apprehensive, she said softly, "may require you, Dean Zheng, to appear on camera..."
Before Zheng Fa could speak, Group Leader Yang hurriedly corrected herself: "If you’re not willing, that’s of course okay, but what we think is... if you make an appearance, on one hand, it lets everyone know who did all this."
"On the other hand, it’s also a deterrence."
Zheng Fa slowly nodded.
Group Leader Yang’s meaning was quite simple: after showing so many good things, some strength needs to be demonstrated.
Otherwise, there might be people who aren’t clear-minded—those who’ve cultivated so-called inner strength might be fantasizing about becoming superior.
Group Leader Yang looked at Zheng Fa, her expression a bit anxious. She knew that Zheng Fa was quite laid-back, so she wasn’t very confident about this request.
Unexpectedly, after a slight silence, Zheng Fa nodded.
His thoughts were simple—
since he didn’t want to become a Demon Emperor, he should at least try transitioning.
According to the theory that the Dao Fruit changes with belief, Zheng Fa also wanted to see what would happen if he showed some power and achievement in modern times.
This was also why Zheng Fa was willing to open the retirement home.
...
The greatest impact of the world’s change was on that group of people who inexplicably cultivated so-called inner strength.
Coincidentally, things like radio calisthenics are learned in school, so naturally, this group of people is not old, and their mental maturity is even less.
Zhao Yi was one of them.
"Wushuang has dropped out of school."
He was staring at his phone, looking at a group chat called True Martial Artists, which consisted of students who cultivated inner strength, and there were often mentions in there about who had dropped out.
Wushuang was an old member who had cultivated inner strength early on.
"Why drop out of school?"
"With my skills, what wouldn’t I be good at?" Wushuang was also in the group, talking confidently, "I’ve already decided, I’m going to do live streaming and become a web celebrity!"
Even more, it seemed like a feasible path.
"The one who dropped out before now has hundreds of thousands of followers!"
Zhao Yi was also tempted, only still hesitant; for him, Wushuang dropping out was nothing—although he claimed to have unparalleled martial arts talent.
But Zhao Yi knew, this guy’s test results, to put it lightly, he could definitely be last if he wanted... that was also considered unparalleled.
But Zhao Yi’s grades were decent, and more importantly, what would he do after dropping out?
But looking at others who had left school now doing well, he couldn’t help but feel itchy inside, becoming more confused, so he simply turned off the chat and opened a video app to kill some time.
"Huh?"
The homepage graphic of the video app had changed.
There was a depiction of a sun, and within the sun, a peculiar tree, with a blurred figure in front of the tree.
Isn’t this...
His breathing quickened, he clicked on the screen and was redirected to a documentary play window.
The documentary was titled—
"Seeking Immortals".
