Vol 2 Chapter 31 – Invitation
At Old Bai’s house, Zheng Fa spoke with a serious expression.
Old Bai and Tang Lingwu both stared at him, momentarily stunned by his solemn demeanor.
Old Bai asked in confusion.
Beside him, Tang Lingwu also looked at Zheng Fa, clearly unsure what he was talking about.
These two were the people he trusted most in the modern world—the ones who understood him best and had helped him the most.
And his future plans… required their involvement.
Zheng Fa explained briefly.
The Lingshan Method wasn’t something that could be explained in just a few words.
Old Bai slowly furrowed his brows and muttered,
Zheng Fa nodded.
Of course, in this case, the spiritual energy wouldn’t come from the land itself—it would come from him.
Old Bai widened his eyes in excitement.
After a brief pause, Zheng Fa explained his vision to the two of them.
Old Bai smacked his lips.
Tang Lingwu nodded beside him.
Both of them could tell that Zheng Fa wouldn’t suddenly bring this up so seriously unless he had something important to say.
Old Bai laughed.
Tang Lingwu also nodded.
Zheng Fa said softly.
Zheng Fa nodded.
Hearing this, Old Bai fell into silence.
Zheng Fa didn’t rush him—this was a major life decision.
Of course, he them to come with him.
Old Bai was not only a brilliant mathematician but also someone who could help establish the foundation of the research facility.
Having spent his career at Jingcheng University, he might not be a trained administrator, but he understood how labs functioned far better than Zheng Fa did.
As for Tang Lingwu…
Well, her biggest contribution right now was her wealthy background.
But she was also hardworking, which was something Zheng Fa valued.
If she progressed well in computer science, she could become an invaluable asset in the future.
However, he wouldn’t force them.
Their friendship alone was enough for him to respect their choices.
After a long silence, Old Bai finally spoke.
Zheng Fa looked at him blankly.
Old Bai grinned.
Zheng Fa asked.
Old Bai’s voice grew louder.
As he spoke, a wild smile appeared on his face.
Zheng Fa turned to Tang Lingwu.
She had been silent the entire time, her expression relaxed, as if this didn’t concern her.
After a moment, she looked at them and asked,
Sёarch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
She scrunched up her face in mild confusion.
Tang Lingwu widened her eyes.
…
Alright.
Rich people truly live differently.
she added with a strange tone,
Tang Lingwu sighed.
Old Bai guessed.
Tang Lingwu nodded.
The three of them exchanged glances—then burst into laughter.
Old Bai asked.
Zheng Fa pondered for a moment before answering.
Old Bai caught on quickly.
After a brief pause, Zheng Fa added,
Of course, that wasn’t a guarantee.
At the very least, choosing people with a good reputation over time increased the likelihood of trustworthiness.
Old Bai and Tang Lingwu understood what Zheng Fa meant—when recruiting people, character mattered.
Old Bai said excitedly.
Zheng Fa could tell that the old man had something in mind.
Old Bai declared.
Before Zheng Fa could respond, Tang Lingwu suddenly spoke up, as if something had occurred to her.
Both Zheng Fa and Old Bai turned to look at her.
Tang Lingwu blinked innocently and muttered,
Old Bai let out a long sigh, then suddenly seemed to remember something.
Zheng Fa pulled a notebook from his bag—it contained a hand-copied version of Treatise on Spiritual Veins.
In this book, the Sect Master had compiled various spiritual vein formations across the world, identifying key essential features for cultivating the Lingshan Method.
According to Lingshan Method, only mountains that met these criteria could serve as effective cultivation sites.
Old Bai flipped through the pages and muttered,
Zheng Fa really had to wonder—what kind of books was this old man reading on a daily basis?
Old Bai skimmed through Treatise on Spiritual Veins and sighed.
Zheng Fa also found himself at a loss.
Finding a suitable location was troublesome even in modern times—but in Xuanwei Realm, it was even worse.
The world was vast, and mountain ranges were often home to cultivators or beasts.
Mapping out an entire mountain’s spiritual structure was extremely dangerous—one wrong step, and you might offend someone powerful.
The only reason the Sect Master had managed to compile this knowledge was because Jiushan Sect had extensive Xuanwei Realm terrain maps.
Using those resources, he had extracted key patterns, allowing him to revise Lingshan Method accordingly.
In his own words—
Tang Lingwu suddenly asked.
Zheng Fa and Old Bai both turned to look at her.
Tang Lingwu looked at them blankly.
Zheng Fa had a feeling that Old Bai’s brainwaves were corrupting his own way of thinking.
Even with satellite maps, finding the right location wasn’t easy.
However, it wasn’t exactly urgent either.
Zheng Fa was currently only at the fourth level of Qi Refining.
He still had a long way to go before reaching the seventh level, where he could actually begin cultivating Lingshan Method.
By his estimates, he wouldn’t reach the seventh level until after the college entrance exams.
For now, they focused on searching for locations around Jingcheng.
After hours of searching, they identified four or five potential sites that seemed to match the criteria described in Treatise on Spiritual Veins.
But to be sure, they would need to inspect them in person.
Zheng Fa looked at Tang Lingwu in surprise.
Tang Lingwu said lightly.
Old Bai clicked his tongue.
Tang Lingwu sighed.
When Zheng Fa arrived at Tang Lingwu’s house, he finally understood what she meant.
Same chauffeur in baggy pants.
Same black luxury sedan.
But this time—
As soon as he was about to step out, a hand eagerly opened the car door for him.
Zheng Fa looked up.
Aunt Ye was radiant.
She stood in front of him, beaming warmly, her eyes filled with enthusiasm.
Beside her, Tang Lingwu sighed and walked over, as if she had already anticipated this.
Standing next to each other, the two women looked more like sisters than mother and daughter.
It was clear—
Aunt Ye was in excellent condition this week.
