Capítulo 1178: Chapter 519: Slow Spring Days, Unexpected Visitors

The atmosphere at the table was very lively, and soon Zhao Jingfan and Yan Wushuang were drunk.

“Let me tell you, that Creation Demon Ancestor is just a matter of one sword!” Yan Wushuang glared, laughing, “My father couldn’t avenge, but I did!”

Zhao Jingfan’s eyes were hazy, his tone disdainful: “Is this revenge you took? Isn’t this because the Sword Array is powerful?”

After saying that, he looked at Zheng Fa, extending two fingers: “Zheng Fa, there are two things about you that I most… admire.”

Zheng Fa was a bit stunned, as Zhao Jingfan was an arrogant person, letting him openly express admiration wasn’t easy, it’s quite valuable.

Probably this guy won’t admit saying this when sober.

“First…” Zhao Jingfan pointed at Zhang, “When I first met Zhang, I was intimidated, how could you dare…”

He didn’t finish his sentence but showed a smile everyone understood.

At this point, Zheng Fa believed Zhao Jingfan was truly drunk.

“Second… is… the Jiushan Sect.” Zhao Jingfan lay on the table, murmuring, “Jiushan Sect, yours, our Jiushan Sect, how good.”

“Why can’t everyone just let you do what you want to do?”

“Leiyin Temple, Lu Yao…”

Zhao Jingfan seemed deeply drunk, incoherent, but Zheng Fa could hear what he meant to say.

He took a sip of wine, looked into the distance, not knowing when he also passed out drunk.

When he opened his eyes again, he was lying on Zhang’s bed, under white curtains, with warm blankets.

“Awake?”

Zhang’s voice came, Zheng Fa turned his head, seeing Zhang sitting on a low couch, cultivating, not knowing how long she had been there.

Zheng Fa sat up, his feet dangling by the bed, hands on the blanket, smiling: “It’s been a long time since I felt this relaxed.”

“Tired?”

In front of Zhang, Zheng Fa never hid anything, with a bitter smile: “Indeed a bit.”

His personality was not one for aggressive competition, somewhat reclusive, preferring to do his own things.

Others only saw him leading Jiushan Sect to annihilate the once mighty Haori Mountain and seizing the Hongmeng Purple Qi, likely shocked or even envious.

But to himself, it was indeed more exhaustion than pride—Zhao Jingfan completely understood him.

So he eventually opened up, only seeking a drunken respite.

Coming to his senses, Zhang looked at him quietly, not speaking, yet seemed to say much.

Zheng Fa smiled briefly, returning from a slightly somber mood, looking at Zhang: “How far are you from the Dao Fruit, Sister?”

“Close.” Zhang replied, “I’m preparing to integrate the Innate Eight Diagrams and the Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array, now I have a glimpse, it’s a gradual process, can’t rush.”

“Actually, can use Comprehensive Records to complete the ritual.”

Zheng Fa’s kind of opportunity is rare, they can’t wreck the whole Xuanwei like Lu Yao.

But Comprehensive Records’ coverage is already extensive, Zhang’s improved ‘Talisman Dao Foundation Establishment Method’ is being cultivated by everyone in Jiushan Sect; if including the common folks within Jiushan Sect’s territory, Zhang’s audience is historically numerous.

For the past century, Jiushan Sect has been promoting education, the most basic being mathematics, to put it forcefully, Zhang as Jiushan Sect’s mother of mathematics, almost all schooled common folk are her audience.

“Starting from Sister, Jiushan Sect’s cultivators’ audience includes both the cultivators of his created cultivation method and the ordinary people whose lives were changed because of him.”

Zheng Fa also valued Zhang’s path to Dao, aside from their relationship, Zhang’s success is more representative than himself, Zhang’s success more proves Jiushan Sect’s path is feasible.

“Thus, once a cultivator creates a better cultivation method, other cultivators can convert via ‘Yellow Court Scripture’, naturally making it easier to become Daoist in the future.”

Saying this, it’s very much like the realization of impact factor…

Zhang nodded gently, adding: “These two are actually different, audiences with more ordinary people lean towards Divine Dao Skill. Those more inclined to cultivators lean towards Immortal Dao.”

Zheng Fa found it reasonable, yet felt entirely lazy, not wanting to ponder deeply or even cultivate.

After Dao Fruit, cultivation wasn’t much useful for improving cultivation.

He wandered around the yard a few times, sending messages to two disciples, summoning them.

When Gu Chang and Mu Qingyan arrived, Yuan Xiaoniao was already chatting with Zhang in the yard.

Zheng Fa sat aside, seeing the two disciples, also smiled, his tone not without remorse: “I’ve been too busy lately, haven’t had time to teach you, truly negligent…”

From his heart, he might prefer being a teacher.

“We’ve deeply benefited from Master’s great kindness…”

Gu Chang hurriedly said.

Mu Qingyan nodded repeatedly but couldn’t find words. Whether in her “past life memories” or within Qingmu Sect, she had never seen a teacher apologize to disciples.

“The victory in the battle against Haori Mountain and acquiring Hongmeng Purple Qi couldn’t have happened without your contributions.”

Zheng Fa looking at these two disciples was also proud.

Mu Qingyan’s research helped Jiushan Sect fend off the Gu God.

Gu Chang was even more remarkable, his spiritual wisdom network structure became the most crucial part of that synthetic human paper.

Under Zheng Fa’s praising gaze, Gu Chang and Mu Qingyan couldn’t help but smile.

“I’ve achieved Dao Fruit, and have time recently.” Zheng Fa spoke with a hint of compensation, “If you have any cultivation doubts, it’s a good time to address them.”

“Yes!”

Gu Chang and Mu Qingyan expressed gratitude, but what puzzled them was Yuan Xiaoniao, upon hearing this, immediately flew outside the courtyard.

Zheng Fa and Zhang Taishang also got up, leisurely walking towards the courtyard exit.
