Chapter 99: Chapter 5 Taoist Body Chapter 99: Chapter 5 Taoist Body Old Man Bai’s home felt somewhat tense. Old Man Bai and another person looked at Zheng Fa, their gazes hesitating with questions they dared not ask. “Actually... it’s quite normal, right?” Old Man Bai was silent for a while before suddenly chuckling, “The human body naturally has electricity, yours just has a bit more, stunning people slightly.” Beside him, Tang Lingwu nodded, adding seriously, “I saw this in a movie, it’s scientific!” Zheng Fa: ... This pair, old and young, seemed to empathize that this was his secret and didn’t want him to elaborate. Zheng Fa indeed did not wish to discuss it with them at that moment. Though he could cultivate, the destructive power of weapons in this world was astonishing—he wasn’t confident in ensuring his own safety yet. But the “Talisman Dao Foundation Establishment Method” given to him by Zhang changed his mind. In the “Talisman Dao Foundation Establishment Method,” Zhang designed a method to congeal a compound talisman in the Dantian based on the pattern of four talismanic diagrams from the Mountain and River True Form Talisman: Qi Refinement tenth level, congealing one talisman diagram per level, and ten talisman diagrams forming one compound talisman. Zhang’s thinking was clear: Use the talisman diagram to attract corresponding energies and absorb Spiritual Energy. Use the compound talisman to stabilize its existence within the Dantian. That is to say, the “Talisman Dao Foundation Establishment Method” requires one to design a compound talisman and then congeal it in the Dantian. Zheng Fa didn’t know how Zhang designed the compound talisman, but clearly—the result wasn’t great—her Golden Core was flawed. To solve this problem needed Old Man Bai’s intellect. So, even if this unintentional slight exposure hadn’t occurred, he probably wouldn’t have hidden it for too long. In fact, in his cultivation laboratory concept, these two were likely the first choices—intelligent, and relatively trustworthy. Zheng Fa knew in his heart that he could remain silent now, but it was hard not to make these two feel distrusted. A certain degree of honesty was indeed the best choice. He paused briefly before speaking, “Previously, I mentioned I come from a hidden sect...” Old Man Bai was startled, then suddenly exclaimed, “That’s actually true?” “Yes, that sect is called Jiushan Sect, and the disciples there... can cultivate.” After Zheng Fa finished saying this, he looked at the two. Old Man Bai opened his mouth, sighed, and said, “Is this something we should know?” Beside him, Tang Lingwu did not speak either. It seemed both were not too surprised. It made sense; both were smart—they realized he was acting somewhat unusual. Old Man Bai was even advising Zheng Fa. “Zheng Fa, you are still young; better not talk about this matter to outsiders,” Old Man Bai chuckled bitterly, “I’ll pretend I didn’t hear it.” Tang Lingwu nodded simply, “I already forgot.” “Do you have any spells in your sect that could help me forget this matter without hurting my brain?” Old Man Bai seemed not to trust Zheng Fa’s statement and asked further. His face showed anticipation, seemingly curious about experiencing an Immortal Sect spell. “...” Isn’t it, you two are being more cautious than I am? Zheng Fa realized that these two probably felt they knew too much. “What I mean is, you two can too.” Old Man Bai jolted, looking at Zheng Fa. “Us two?” Zheng Fa nodded. “Aren’t you afraid...” “The Jiushan Sect isn’t without people,” Zheng Fa stated confidently. Yes, just not in this world. Old Man Bai shrank his neck. “That’s true, hidden for so long without being discovered, it seems indeed not afraid...” Old Man Bai murmured, “I’m just more scared now.” Don’t be scared, you are also a Nascent Soul. Old Man Bai and Tang Lingwu exchanged glances, the hesitation on their faces greater than happiness. “Also, only by following me, can you cultivate.” This was the most reassuring guarantee for Zheng Fa—the significance of the Spirit Mountain Technique to him was that he decided who could cultivate. As long as he could ensure his most basic safety, there would naturally be people who desired to cultivate joining his side. “Master!” Hearing Zheng Fa’s words, Old Man Bai not only wasn’t disappointed but his face brightened, his heart feeling like a heavy stone had landed: “I recognized your immortal presence at first sight!” “Wait!” Zheng Fa raised his hand and said, “Our Jiushan Sect also has requirements for accepting disciples.” “Requirements?” “Those talismanic diagrams...” Old Man Bai was stunned, then suddenly realized, “So that’s why you care so much about them.” Zheng Fa nodded. “Our sect is quite academic...” “...” Thinking of those Jiushan Sect disciples swinging talismans, Zheng Fa didn’t speak. “Just how... did you enter the sect?” Despite not swearing, Zheng Fa felt deeply insulted. “... I am exceptionally gifted!” After a few words, they turned to look at Tang Lingwu—the young woman hadn’t spoken all this while. “I... don’t want to cultivate.” She bit her lip, suddenly speaking. “Hm?” “Does the Jiushan Sect have a spell that can cure... hysterics?” Tang Lingwu looked up at Zheng Fa, a longing in her eyes that he had never seen on her face before. “Hm?” “My mother, she has some problems in that area.” Zheng Fa suddenly understood. He recalled many things. Each time he walked side by side with Tang Lingwu, there was a sedan following them. Tang Lingwu had mentioned that she knew a bit about psychiatric hospitals. And that softly spoken sentence: “I don’t want to go home.” Old Man Bai at the side suddenly sighed and glanced at Tang Lingwu. “Shall I say it?” His face showed a bit of heartache. “I’ll say it myself.” Tang Lingwu shook her head, looking out the window, she could seemingly see that black sedan always parked at the corner downstairs. “My mother, um, is a bit ill... It’s not serious, but she cares a lot about me.” She paused: “Too much, she won’t let me talk to males, won’t let me do anything besides studying, likes to follow me wherever I go...” Zheng Fa remembered, Wang Chen had mentioned before, some boys tried to add Tang Lingwu’s contact information, but they ended up adding her mom. He had thought Tang Lingwu was just too aloof, but he had also doubted, as Tang Lingwu didn’t seem like such a cold person when she was with him—he wasn’t narcissistic enough to think she would look at him differently. Now he understood some of the reasons. “I even secretly registered my own social media account,” said Tang Lingwu with pursed lips. Indeed. “So... why am I fine?” Zheng Fa thought for a moment, it seemed like Tang Lingwu’s mom had already noticed him. “Cough.” Old Man Bai at the side gently coughed, a smile hiding his accomplishments and name appeared on his face. Even Tang Lingwu looked at the old man with a bit of surprise. “Your mom called me, I advised her.” “With my mom’s personality, Sir Bai, how did you convince her?” Tang Lingwu asked with bright eyes. “Oh, nothing much, quite easy to persuade—as long as one is a bit open-minded,” he pointed at Zheng Fa: “I said he doesn’t like girls, you two are close friends, this kid likes me and won’t like you.” His demeanor showed a kind of pride that disregarded Zheng Fa’s feelings. “...” Zheng Fa remained silent, not responding. He was contemplating whether he had the ability to help Tang Lingwu. Tang Lingwu’s expression gradually became anxious. “I also know topology...” She glanced at Old Man Bai, seemingly feeling her own skills were not yet sufficient, then suddenly said, “I have money!” “Money?” “Her dad, Tang Zhiqiang, you must have heard of him.” Zheng Fa was startled; he indeed had heard of him, it seemed like a name that would appear in the news. Well... mostly in gossip news, alongside a small amount of financial news. Zheng Fa then understood a bit why Tang Lingwu’s mom might have some psychological issues. Thinking of Sister Zhang, and then looking at Tang Lingwu. Zheng Fa couldn’t help but doubt his own talent—could he really be a magnet for rich women? “I’m not unwilling, it’s just that I’m not sure if I can help your mom.” Tang Lingwu nodded: “I know, but having hope is better than having none.” After saying this, she pulled out a bank card and slapped it on the table—no matter how much money was in it, Zheng Fa was greatly impressed by her fluent motion. “...” Zheng Fa thought for a moment, then spoke: “How about I give it a try first?” “Alright!” Tang Lingwu put the card into her pocket. “How much money is in this card?” Old Man Bai curiously asked. “I don’t know, Tang Zhiqiang... my dad gave me the card, said he would always transfer spending money into it.” Tang Lingwu said indifferently: “A few hundred thousand?” ... A bit regretful. ... In the Xuanwei Realm, once Zheng Fa woke up, he started preparing to practice the “Talisman Dao Foundation Establishment Method.” He was originally planning to study this Cultivation Technique further. After all, Sister Zhang had fallen into a trap. But now that a bit of his secret of Cultivation was exposed, he had to practice it. Revealing it in front of the two Old Men Bai wasn’t too bad—an issue he still trusted the character of these two people. But he was not willing to base his own safety on someone else’s character, no matter who it was. However, without spiritual materials in the modern world, Zheng Fa’s most proficient talisman painting was practically useless. But the “Talisman Dao Foundation Establishment Method” could solve this problem: As long as he used the Foundation Establishment Method to condense the talismanic diagram in his Dantian, he could release it without needing spiritual materials. For example, Sister Zhang, Zheng Fa had never seen her painting talismans on talisman paper. Zheng Fa thought about it and drew a Basic Primordial Talisman on a white paper—the Right Stand No Shadow Talisman. The Right Stand No Shadow Talisman could hide his figure, voice, and even smell for a short duration. Its effect was not so great in the Xuanwei Realm, a Xuan-grade Right Stand No Shadow Talisman could be seen through by someone at late-stage of Foundation Establishment. But in the modern world, this thing was quite powerful... Compared to talismans oriented towards offensive power or defensive power, what Zheng Fa was most worried about was actually the tight surveillance of the modern world—to modern individuals, the ability to hide could be more terrifying. After deciding on the talismanic diagram he wanted to condense, Zheng Fa walked out of his room. To condense a talismanic diagram in the Dantian requires a type of Spirit Pill—the Yuan Condensing Pill. Zheng Fa went to the Nine Reincarnation Pavilion, a place specifically for selling Elixirs. The Nine Reincarnation Pavilion was quite empty, even the attendants were scarce, Zheng Fa stood at the door for a long time before a lazy attendant came over to him, he first looked at Zheng Fa’s attire, and then seemed to discern Zheng Fa’s low cultivation base, showing a tired expression due to disappointment. “What do you need?” “Have any Yuan Condensing Pills?” “Yeah...” The attendant didn’t move, just stood there: “Twenty Spirit Stones each.” “... Goodbye!” Well, no wonder he could be an attendant, that judgment was quite sharp.
