Chapter 51

At the top of Xingshan Mountain, in the back hall of the Immortal Alliance.

Deng Jiaxuan and Ma Jueli stood before a primordial golden bridge, gazing far into the Immortal Academy.

Chen Jingyun asked, "How is it?"

He was only a half-step away from freedom, and his spiritual senses were almost depleted after passing through the Primordial Qi Array, unable to extend to the Immortal Academy.

Deng Jiaxuan coughed a few times, while Ma Jueli recounted the events in the dining hall to Chen Jingyun.

When Xi Boche's aura appeared in the Immortal Academy, Deng Jiaxuan and Ma Jueli had already noticed. At first, the three of them felt somewhat uneasy, especially Chen Jingyun. Xi Boche was the foremost mathematician of the present, a master on par with the Supreme One, Ai Zitan. Now, such a great master had left the secluded residence of the Free Ones due to Chen Jingyun's "small oversight," which made Chen Jingyun feel quite guilty.

However, they soon had no time to worry about the great mathematician. Due to Xi Boche, Deng Jiaxuan and Ma Jueli noticed Wang Qi's breakthrough.

However, it seemed that Xi Boche did not want them to notice what was happening, and actually used a method to conceal everything that occurred.

Because of that meeting, the three great cultivators felt that Wang Qi's matter was very important, so Ma Jueli and Deng Jiaxuan took turns to observe Wang Qi. Xi Boche, on the other hand, observed the changes in the array from outside.

After listening to Ma Jueli's recount, Chen Jingyun frowned, "The Great Elephant Phase Wave Technique? Mrs. Ma, are you sure that kid used Phase Wave?"

Ma Jueli came from the Burning Gold Valley, and Chen Jingyun was concerned that she might not be familiar with the Unification Alliance's techniques, so he asked for confirmation.

Deng Jiaxuan sighed, "Xiao Chen, you should pay attention to other things besides mathematics... Mrs. Ma's judgment is accurate; it is indeed Phase Wave."

Chen Jingyun gave Deng Jiaxuan a puzzled look, not understanding what he meant.

Speaking of which, this was actually a beautiful story in the modern immortal path. Mrs. Ma's research on strange metals made her a top-tier cultivator, and the Crocodile God Rutherford's enlightenment was due to one of Mrs. Ma's strange metals. Rutherford used the strange metal to explore the microscopic world, achieved freedom, and then taught a disciple, the Quantum Master Bohr. Bohr, along with his junior brother Schrödinger, later joined the Ethereal Palace, which at the time only had the Sage of Quantitative Analysis. The two of them then brought up two world-class geniuses, the Daoist of Incomprehensible Dao Li and the Daoist of Uncertainty Daoist Heisenberg, strengthening the Ethereal Palace. Through exchanges with the Unification Alliance led by Ai Zitan, countless new techniques were developed. This event was once regarded as a model of the orderly and progressive transmission of the modern immortal path.

The Great Elephant Phase Wave Technique was precisely understood by Debroye in the discussions between the Ethereal Palace and the Unification Alliance. Mrs. Ma herself had experienced that era and would not be unfamiliar with the Great Elephant Phase Wave Technique.

Chen Jingyun did not dwell on this issue but fell into deep thought, "The Great Elephant Phase Wave Technique... This kid's talent in modern techniques is truly terrifying?"

Deng Jiaxuan shook his head, "It's completely unreasonable... cough, cough, cough, I think there's something fishy about him."

In their eyes, Wang Qi's mastery of the Great Elephant Phase Wave Technique was full of oddities. It was like an Earthling discovering that a primary school student had independently made a Nobel Prize-level discovery; anyone's first reaction would be, "Are you kidding me?"

Ma Jueli shook her head, "But... even if he is related to the ancient techniques, with such talent, he will eventually become a complete modern cultivator, right?"

Chen Jingyun said something incomprehensible, "The sample size is too small to form a targeted theory... the appearance of an exceptional individual..."

Deng Jiaxuan pondered, "‘Innate Wisdom’...?"

"Stop it! Hands off! Don't touch there! No way!"

"Go ahead and scream! This time, no one will come to save you! And why didn't you add 'meow' to the last sentence?"

"That's not the point! Meow!"

"Behave yourself!"

After saying that, Wang Qi finally let go of Mao Zimiao's ears.

Mao Zimiao covered her ears, tears welling up in her eyes as she looked at Wang Qi, "Xiao Qi, you're too much, meow!"

Wang Qi pursed his lips, "I'm too much? If it weren't for me, would you have been able to get out of this, Azmeow? Do you know what would have happened if you had acted?"

"But that guy was bullying Yang Xi, I couldn't just stand by, meow!"

"Even if he 'flirted' with that Yang Xi, you shouldn't have acted like that!"

"Xiao Qi always gives people weird nicknames, meow..."

"Even weirder than the Heavenly Dao in our world."

"Mao Zimiao, you're talking about things I don't understand at all." She covered her ears, cautiously staring at Wang Qi, "But, Xiao Qi is really nice to me!"

Wang Qi raised his head, "What do you think? Do you know how good your big brother is? From now on, let me touch your ears whenever I want, okay..."

"No way!"

Wang Qi was not disappointed by the rejection and said to Mao Zimiao, "Anyway, in the future, when you have a dispute with that Doberman or other noble disciples, don't confront them head-on, got it? Your mathematics isn't strong, your theoretical classes are weak, and your foundation is thin. You can't afford to lose conduct points, got it?"

"Got it, meow."

After saying this, Wang Qi walked towards the classroom, satisfied. At this moment, he heard a voice from behind, "Xiao Qi is really a good person, meow."

Tch, all that effort just to get a 'good person' card.

Wang Qi mocked himself, feeling bored.

The morning theoretical class passed quickly. According to the schedule Wang Qi had seen, the Immortal Alliance did not have any courses he wanted to take until June, and Xi Boche's recommended "On the Essence of Spirit Qi" was also far off.

After lunch, Wang Qi did not go to play cards with Su Junyu or find Mao Zimiao. Instead, he headed straight for the library.

There were quite a few people on the first floor of the library. This floor mostly contained novels, storybooks, and books about the customs of the神州 (神州 means "神州" in Chinese, which can be translated as "神州" or "神州" in English, but in this context, it refers to the world of the story, so it is better to keep it as "神州"). These were for disciples to read during their free time. However, new disciples were heavily restricted when borrowing books from here, usually allowed to borrow only one book every half month. Wang Qi did not linger on this floor and went straight upstairs.

The second floor contained some less valuable ancient techniques, including cultivation methods, spells, and diagrams for making magical artifacts. These were only for disciples to find inspiration; learning these techniques would waste time and ruin their future. Teaching aids and reference books were also concentrated on this floor.

The third floor was where the core theories of modern techniques were located. Due to his unfamiliarity with some terms in the神州 and his lack of mastery of mathematical symbols, this was Wang Qi's first visit to this place.

Most of the people reading books on the third floor were Foundation Establishment stage assistant teachers. A few Foundation Establishment stage disciples glanced at Wang Qi when he came up, finding it strange that a new disciple would come to the third floor. Wang Qi did not care about their gazes and quickly found the books on the list based on Xi Boche's instructions.

As modern techniques delved deeper into the Great Dao, more and more modern predecessors published their works. This led to an increasing number of books in the immortal path. The classification of books, known as "bibliology," also began to emerge in the神州. The book list Xi Boche gave Wang Qi even included call numbers represented by the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches. Wang Qi did not have much trouble finding the books he wanted.

Then, he frowned.

Borrowing these books required "Immortal Alliance Merit Points"!
