"Gene sequencing for everyone cultivating on Rainbow Mountain?"

In the backyard of the retirement home, Group Leader Yang listened to Zheng Fa's request, nodded without hesitation, and then asked:

"What is the research direction?"

"The relationship between Spirit Root and genes," Zheng Fa explained. "Everyone has a Five Elements Spirit Root; it's just a matter of degree. To understand the essence of the Spirit Root, ultimately, it has to come down to genes."

To reduce the impact of Spirit Root on modern development, one must first understand its essence.

This couldn't be accomplished in the Xuanwei Realm, as the microbiology technology there is far from reaching such a level.

Fortunately, the human structure in the modern world is no different from that in the Xuanwei Realm. In the past, people in the modern world couldn't cultivate, not because they lacked Spirit Root, but because they lacked Spiritual Energy.

The Xuanwei Realm's conjectures and theories about Spirit Roots are numerous, with many mysterious concepts.

But in Zheng Fa's view, since the Spirit Root is a trait everyone inherently possesses, its essence is determined by genes.

Previously, he felt that matters of Spirit Roots weren't urgent because the biggest problem in the Jiushan Realm now is a lack of resources, not a lack of cultivators.

However, the evolution of the Fusang Wood Dao Fruit changed his mind:

The Fusang Wood Dao Fruit can absorb the insights of Zheng Fa's disciples. To obtain more valuable insights, naturally, one must select disciples with understanding, allowing bright minds not to suffer from worthless Spirit Roots.

As for the conception of the Daoist Field, it seems distant, only feasible after Zheng Fa can handle a large number of thoughts, then he dares to truly spread teachings broadly in the modern age.

But this doesn't mean Zheng Fa doesn't want to spread teachings broadly; he just hopes that in the future, after having certain defensive measures, he will begin—at that time, Spirit Root will be a significant obstacle.

This conception brought Zheng Fa endless imagination and he subtly regarded it as an opportunity to attain enlightenment.

Thus, solving the Spirit Root issue holds greater value not in the Jiushan Realm, but in the modern world.

Group Leader Yang didn't know about the use of Fusang Wood Dao Fruit, but still nodded seriously:

"I'll arrange it."

She suddenly thought of something and turned to Zheng Fa, saying, "Speaking of which, the improvement of the Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array is almost done. It seems that the technical manual is complete."

"So fast?"

Zheng Fa was surprised at heart, as the Heaven and Earth Divine Evil Formation and the Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array were involved, in fact, the Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array was more difficult.

As for the Heaven and Earth Divine Evil Formation, Zheng Fa's requirement was only to understand it and then design a backdoor.

A few days ago, Group Leader Yang had already brought several plans.

The most feasible plan was actually to halt the array operation, since now Zheng Fa couldn't reach the core of the Great Array and could only work on the perimeter.

There were even ideas to secretly change the array's processes, or even take control of the array.

The problem was that the difficulty was high—Shi Nandang and others were extremely attentive to the Heaven and Earth Divine Evil Formation, they would even carefully check the Spirit Stones Zheng Fa and his team engraved, thus making massive alterations to the array risky.

Compared to the Heaven and Earth Divine Evil Formation, the Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array was much more complex, equivalent to rewriting a programming language from scratch and then creating an operating system.

Therefore, he had quite a lot of patience before.

"This is just the first version now, as for the artificial intelligence algorithm, it's still under discussion," Group Leader Yang explained.

"That's faster than I expected! Group Leader Yang, you've given me a small surprise."

Zheng Fa looked at Group Leader Yang with some admiration.

Who would have thought Group Leader Yang's gaze would be somewhat evasive, she glanced to one side: "Well... it's not all my credit."

"Hmm?"

Zheng Fa frowned, feeling her manner was too peculiar.

Group Leader Yang became more uneasy, and she stammered, "I'll... I'll arrange the Spirit Root project now."

Having said that, she stepped quickly, not looking back as she fled.

Zheng Fa watched her back, a thoughtful expression crossing his eyes.

Night.

Tang Lingwu placed down the bowl, looking relaxed: "I'm going to cultivate!"

The others watched her walk into the room, while Old Man Bai sighed: "These days, she hasn't eaten properly."

Mrs. Tian nodded slightly.

Zheng Fa said nothing, stirring the food in his bowl one bite at a time.

Tang Lingwu's room was quite large, with many rooms, besides a separate quiet chamber for cultivation, there was a bedroom, and an office.

Under the sparse starry moonlight outside the window, Tang Lingwu was supposed to be quietly cultivating in the chamber, but was instead seated in the office chair. In the dim office, only the screen cast light on her small face, making her look like a girl addicted to the internet.

The keyboard in the hands of the internet-addicted girl clattered loudly, she wielded passionate rhetoric in a group chat.

"The technical manual has been reviewed; there are some issues that are best fixed by tomorrow."

"Everyone with ideas, discuss in the forum quickly; the artificial intelligence algorithm must be hurried."

"Forum points? Points can of course be exchanged for money... there's money!"

"Which forum?"

A voice questioned from behind her ear, she responded without thinking:

"I built it, a forum discussing rune algorithms... Ah!"

Tang Lingwu leaped up from the chair, literally three feet high.

Zheng Fa stood behind the office chair, helplessly looking at her.

Tang Lingwu quickly landed on the chair, knees together, lifting her head to look at Zheng Fa, blinking obediently as if trying to charm him.

"Show me the forum."

"Okay!"

Looking at the newly established but feverishly discussed forum, Zheng Fa finally understood why the Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array had progressed so quickly—

Rich girl Tang Lingwu, through forum points, wickedly attached cash rewards to various tasks, the faster the completion, the more money earned...

Inspecting the posting times from everyone, Zheng Fa discovered each project team had twisted into pretzels, debating every minute on the forum twenty-four hours a day.
