I Studied Abroad in the Modern Times-Chapter 180Book 2: : The Hope of Soul Formation, the Essence of Golden Core

At that point, how could he not realize he was being teased?

“Senior Brother, you messing with me?”

Martial Uncle Pang still felt a bit disappointed.

“Not really. With this book, and Nephew Zhang’s theory of spiritual energy circuits, I do have some ideas about reaching Soul Formation.”

Seeing how serious he looked, Martial Uncle Pang couldn’t help showing a bit of joy.

“If Senior Brother really reaches Soul Formation, it would be a huge blessing for Jiushan Sect!”

On one hand, Jiushan Sect had never successfully produced a Soul Formation cultivator. If the Sect Master could take that step, it would bring hope to everyone.

On the other hand, while Jiushan Sect was currently safe, it lacked the strength to advance.

The atmosphere within the sect wasn’t exactly stable—though the Jiushan Realm was secure, it was far from home, and many people felt there was no hope for the future.

If the Sect Master reached Soul Formation,

That would prove Zheng Fa’s entire system actually worked, and naturally everyone’s morale would rise.

“For you, Senior Brother… that’s also a blessing,” Martial Uncle Pang added.

This senior brother didn’t have even a hundred years of lifespan left… if his cultivation didn’t progress, he wouldn’t live much longer.

The Sect Master beamed and nodded. “Once I’ve fully understood this book, I’ll be going into seclusion for Soul Formation.”

Hearing the importance he placed on Introduction to Thunder Techniques, Martial Uncle Pang grew even more curious.

“How does that relate to Soul Formation?”

He couldn’t help asking.

The Sect Master explained, “Nephew Zhang’s theory of spiritual energy circuits is actually about how to maintain one’s divine consciousness… but maintaining consciousness isn’t the whole of Soul Formation. Another aspect is having another set of circuits to command all kinds of spiritual energy in the world.”

Martial Uncle Pang nodded. “Makes sense.”

“So, what circuits do we use?” The Sect Master said. “On one hand, we need the most comprehensive circuit layout—only then can we achieve greater power.”

“On the other hand, the circuits must be minimal.”

“That’s the only way to reduce the difficulty of Soul Formation.”

At that, Martial Uncle Pang suddenly understood: “So this Introduction to Thunder Techniques… is to let you test out all kinds of circuit designs?”

“The most valuable part of Introduction to Thunder Techniques is this so-called framework of electromagnetism. I even have a feeling… if one truly masters electromagnetism, understands its essence, then with just a single circuit, one could command all thunder techniques under heaven!”

Hearing that,

Martial Uncle Pang looked at Introduction to Thunder Techniques with newfound reverence.

“And yet you still scolded Zheng Fa…”

The Sect Master glanced at him, then suddenly sighed, “His cultivation is still too low right now…”

“Senior Brother?”

The Sect Master closed the book in his hands and looked in the direction Zheng Fa had gone. “He wants to spread the Dao to the world, and this Dao is so deep… even though we’re shielded here in the Jiushan Realm, I still worry.”

…

Zheng Fa was actually feeling a bit frustrated.

He didn’t know what the Sect Master thought of his Introduction to Thunder Techniques, but he himself didn’t think the first lesson had gone particularly well—the main issue being, Jiushan Sect disciples severely lacked math training.

Introduction to Thunder Techniques was originally written by Tang Mu Dao, then simplified by Zheng Fa.

Though Tang Mu Dao’s research wasn’t in electromagnetism,

Writing some basic electromagnetism content wasn’t hard for him.

The problem was, his academic level was a bit too high—Introduction to Thunder Techniques just wasn’t well-suited for the Jiushan Sect disciples.

Thinking of this, Zheng Fa let out a quiet sigh.

These senior brothers… college-level content won’t work, guess we need to start them off in middle school.

He was now making some plans for the Jiushan Realm’s education system.

Starting from the mundane world and among the 300,000 mortals, he would first establish basic education—elementary school level.

Focused on literacy and basic math.

The next step, which Zheng Fa had previously overlooked, now seemed essential—middle school education.

He planned to find some modern middle school textbooks: junior high physics, junior high math, and the like.

This was mainly to address the issue of the Jiushan Sect disciples’ weak foundation.

As for books like Introduction to Thunder Techniques, they could be given to the Sect Master and others to read for now.

…

Remembering the Sect Master’s advice, Zheng Fa brought Little Sister back to their residence, then made his way to Ten Thousand Immortals Island—the island where Nascent Soul cultivators lived.

He had already comprehended the Yin-Yang Fusion secret technique.

But this realization made Zheng Fa… hesitant to try it.

He entered Senior Sister Zhang’s palace.

Senior Sister Yuan was also there.

She looked distressed, gritting her teeth as she read—Zheng Fa recognized the book: the one he had given to Little Qing and the others to study… elementary math.

“Senior Sisters.”

He cupped his hands and bowed to both of them.

Senior Sister Zhang nodded slightly, while Senior Sister Yuan’s eyes lit up and she grinned at him, as if she’d just seen her savior.

“What’s going on?”

Senior Sister Zhang could tell right away—Zheng Fa had come for something.

Zheng Fa handed over a jade slip.

Senior Sister Zhang took it and raised her brows in surprise. “Yin-Yang Fusion?”

“This is a secret technique Master passed on to me. He said it’s very beneficial for Core Formation.”

Zheng Fa explained.

Senior Sister Zhang nodded, continued reading the contents in the jade slip, and after a long time finally responded, “This technique… is quite interesting.”

“It seems to be simulating a Golden Core.”

“Not fully, but it would definitely be helpful for your Core Formation.”

Clearly, Senior Sister Zhang had a very high opinion of Yin-Yang Fusion.

Zheng Fa, upon hearing this, showed an expression of “as expected” but also looked slightly pained.

“Junior Brother?”

Senior Sister Zhang looked at him with surprise.

Zheng Fa thought for a moment, then asked, “Senior Sister, I’ve heard that after forming a Golden Core, one must gather the Qi of Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend—is that true?”

Senior Sister Zhang looked even more puzzled at this question and replied,

“That’s basic common knowledge in the Xuanyi Realm. Only by collecting compatible Qi of Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend can the power of the Golden Core continue to grow.”

Zheng Fa pondered this, then turned to Senior Sister Yuan and said,

“Senior Sister...”

“Hmm?”

“I want to see your Core.”

Senior Sister Yuan glanced at Senior Sister Zhang, her eyes darting mischievously as she responded with feigned indignation:

“Junior Brother, even demons have standards!”

“You don’t need to study this book anymore!”

“Look!”

With a chirp from her beak-like mouth, Senior Sister Yuan spat out a ball of bluish-golden light that hovered in the hall.

The Golden Core shone brilliantly, as if immense power surged within it.

Zheng Fa swallowed hard—that was a lot of power.

This thing… really was a miniature nuclear reactor!

A reactor that even had both fusion and fission processes…
