Chapter 42 The Romance of Science
Jiang Yunzheng was sensing the harvest of his good fortune.
The upgrade progress of the mother's meteorite bone has reached 33%.
Liu Guangming's upgrade progress has reached 56%.
That's good. I feel like Daohui will continue to rise soon.
He stretched, feeling a bit tired, and used his synesthesia to look outside.
Ling Jiu was working on the test questions Jiang Rang had given her, saying it would help her keep track of her progress. Meanwhile, Jiang Rang was flipping through her notes. Just as he looked outside, his mother caught a glimpse of his father, then quickly looked down and continued answering the questions before the other man could notice.
Then, through the "Eye of the Butterfly God," he saw his biological father staring at his biological mother in a daze, and then looking away just as his biological mother seemed about to look up.
They know how to have fun.
A pink thread of fate grew stronger as the two gazed at each other, and Jiang Yun gathered it up.
A secret, fleeting moment of infatuation
He wondered if his parents had divorced when he was four years old in his previous life, which was why he had no memory of his family or his parents' love. At this moment, he felt that it was quite heartwarming.
After Ling Jiu finished answering, Jiang Rang took a look at her answer but didn't mention her score.
Jiang Rang took the document, glanced at it, and without announcing the score or offering any comments, went straight to the point: "Your foundation in science is weak, so we'll work on improving it from the basics. Science isn't easy to learn."
Jiang Yun glanced at the textbook and the handwriting and realized it was for mathematics, physics, and chemistry.
Hmm, this isn't very fantastical.
However, with further instruction, Jiang Yun came to understand.
In this world, science is another form of cultivation tool.
"Actually, this is what the ancient Qi practitioners studied. It's just that in the old society, they studied how to attribute the mysteries to themselves, while in the new era, it was separated into a science, allowing those who are smart but lack resources or talent to contribute to society."
"The research focuses on how to make society more prosperous."
Jiang Rang used the analogies of "humanities" and "martial arts" that Ling Jiu could understand:
"Mathematics, at its core, is calculation, induction, deduction, and simulation."
"Calculation determines how precisely you can control your strength. Think about the exertion of force in martial arts; at the same level, the person who can control their strength better will definitely be stronger."
"Summarizing and statistics are the foundation of clerical work."
"Deduction is the foundation for deducing the mysteries and cause and effect. How astrologers and Taoist priests make predictions and divinations, and how pharmacists prepare medicines, all depend on deduction."
Ling Jiu had always found this kind of knowledge confusing, but today her mind was unusually clear.
"Then there's physics, which studies the conversion of force and energy."
"In martial arts, you can calculate and predict the power and timing of your opponent's punch, so you can respond or counterattack in the most energy-efficient way."
The general principle of stance training is to perfectly convert the potential energy accumulated during stance training into kinetic energy. Therefore, many opponents of the same skill level lose to me upon first contact, not entirely due to a difference in strength, but rather a difference in the efficiency of their force application.
"However, mathematics and physics are used in a minority of personal martial arts; their greater applications lie in military technology and the development of people's livelihoods."
Ling Jiu nodded, indicating her understanding.
Jiang Rang paused for a moment, looked closely into her eyes until Ling Jiu felt uneasy, and then nodded.
"Finally, there's chemistry, which is directly related to your future 'seeking the profound and inquiring about the Dao,' and breaking through to higher realms!"
Jiang Rang's tone became more serious.
"The Daoist Master created the 'Five Paths and Five Followers' system for two fundamental purposes: first, to reward those who make great contributions to society and help them improve their realm and aptitude; second, to block those geniuses and wealthy people with wicked intentions. No matter how talented you are or how many resources you have, without real social achievements, you can forget about advancing in realm."
"Chemistry studies how people cultivated and advanced in an era without the 'Five Paths and Five Elements,' while the new era has divided the Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth into twenty-five fundamental elements!"
"37 years ago, our human race was treated as commodities by all other races. It was the first Dao Lord, the Mysterious Ancestor, who developed this system. It allows humankind to compete for and refine the 'Mysterious Position' of the Fifth Star Realm through cultivation, thereby gaining power comparable to that of gods!"
Also known as the Five Elements Derivation and Profound Mystery Method.
Jiang paused, then gave a more specific example:
"It concerns our Five Elements theory, cosmic energy, and the transformation of matter."
"Today, I'll start by telling you about what I'm best at—the principle of 'combining and transforming into Ren'."
"A good example is Xin metal, which represents the Yin Metal, and Bing fire, which represents the Yang Fire. If they can blend perfectly, they can evolve into a higher level of Yang water—[Ren water]."
Ling Jiu was prepared to not understand anything at all, but strangely, as Jiang Rang explained, she found that her thinking became clearer, and she was even able to grasp a few key points and ask questions.
This is of course thanks to Jiang Yun in her womb. Due to the connection of their karmic bond, not only was her own potential greatly developed, but she could even transfer some of his abilities to her.
To be honest, Jiang Yun himself was also captivated by the lecture, especially the part about the extreme transformation of the five elements in chemistry, which made him suddenly realize something.
Previously in the illusion, when Xuanjing God Lord fought against the suit-wearing man with the [Bing Fire] attribute, the principle behind his final move, Xin Metal Transforming into a Vast Ocean, was probably based on this.
But just as he was listening with great interest, as if he had opened the door to a new world...
Without warning, a thread of cause and effect, filled with intense malice, suddenly wrapped around his mother, Ling Jiu!
However, the thread was immediately immobilized by a colorful causal thread within Ling Jiu's body.
But the line didn't disappear; instead, it seemed like a deer that had wandered into the forest, stumbling and turning as if it were lost.
This is likely a protective mechanism based on cause and effect.
How could anyone dare to have malicious intentions towards my mother?
Jiang Yun felt a chill and activated the Divine Mechanism Heavenly Evolution without hesitation.
"Yanzi, activate your hidden senses and help me deduce what this thing is?"
[This is a curse from a wizard who has undergone four stages of prophecy. Currently, you possess the conceptual level of 'Divine Mechanism and Heavenly Evolution,' which allows you to activate the 'Connection' technique, forcibly linking that causality to yourself and seizing the other party's causality. It is estimated that the 'Tying the Knot' Dao mark will increase by 23%.]
"I understand. So, I have this conceptual-level causality, which means I'm of a very high status, right?"
[That's right. Even Dao Lords and Pillar Gods can't measure it precisely. A fourth-tier wizard like the opponent can't affect you. You can freely involve and interfere with anyone below the Pillar God level.]
"Understood."
Jiang Yun nodded and immediately activated the "Tethering Threads" ability, actively pulling the malicious causal thread from her mother to her side.
He wanted to see who would suddenly harbor ill intentions towards his mother, who rarely left the house.
As his affinity was activated, a sense of fusion, unlike the bond between mother and child, arose.
Instead, his five senses were sequentially drawn into his consciousness: first the touch, as if he were in a warm bed, then the sound, which was very quiet.
Then came the feelings: anxiety, intense anxiety and jealousy, and a twisted malice.
Then the view gradually brightened.
Finally, he saw his surroundings and was taken aback.
Girls' dormitory?
