I use my supernatural powers to prove my immortality

Chapter 223 Civilization
"Master, look, these are the entries I compiled. Since the launch of the upgraded version of the Five Spirit Mirror, there are nearly 300 entries. My title in the virtual library has been promoted to 'Doctor'. There are no more than ten editors with the title of Doctor on the entire network now."

Ning Yunzhi held her head high and proudly showed Zhong Lixiao the results of her three years, as if to say, "Master, please praise me."

Seeing this, Zhong Lixiao immediately became happy.

His second apprentice is becoming more and more cheerful and lively.

Zhong Lixiao immediately gave a thumbs up and said with a smile, "Great, Master gives you a thumbs up."

Ning Yunzhi's eyes suddenly brightened.

"Master, do you know how to give a thumbs-up? Yunzhi thought you were in seclusion for three years and knew nothing!"

Zhong Lixiao was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

He had indeed been confined to his own house for the past three years, refining magic weapons, but he was not completely abandoned by the times.

Besides, ideas like "like" and "heart" were proposed by Zhong Lixiao at the time.

If not, how could the new version of the Five Spirits Mirror be so mature as soon as it was launched?

You have to know that in Zhong Lixiao's previous life, these were gradually developed and improved in the process of the Internet moving from its infancy to maturity.

It is a reflection of the wisdom of thousands of netizens from another era.

Seeing that Zhong Lixiao knew everything, Ning Yunzhi immediately thought that although her master was in seclusion, he had already activated various "software" of the virtual world.

She immediately couldn't wait to get close to Zhong Lixiao, stretched out her green jade fingers, and poked at the interface of the Five Spirit Mirror.

"Master, this is my Sword Book account. Let's add each other as friends. I will greet you every day from now on!"

The so-called "Sword Book" was actually the instant messaging software developed by Master Xu Xuanzi.

The idea naturally came from Zhong Lixiao, and the one he imitated was naturally the penguin from his previous life.

As for the image features of the APP, it is replaced by a very artistic "sword book".

Any cultivator could tell at a glance that this was a "flying sword" on the way to transmit a message.

The main reason for this is that in this world, the oldest means of communication are nothing more than sound transmission notes, flying sword letters, and special signal symbols.

The so-called "Sword Book" refers to the delivery of letters by flying swords.

In essence, it is a reflection of the world's cultural heritage!
Seeing his apprentice clamoring to add him as a friend, Zhong Lixiao suddenly felt as if he was in a dream.

It’s been a long time since I had this kind of experience!

Zhong Lixiao laughed dumbly and said, "Yunzhi, my Five Spirit Mirror has not been updated yet. How about we add each other as friends after I ask your master to refine it again?"

Although Ning Yunzhi was a little disappointed, she still nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.

When Zhong Lixiao saw this, he felt amused for a moment at his second disciple's mental state.

She used to be like a lady from a wealthy family, but now she seems to be turning into an internet addict.

However, when I think about the fact that this girl used to love reading various storybooks, it is understandable.

This girl seems to have always had a bit of the "bookworm" feeling of a girl in the Internet age. Now she seems to be in a relatively comfortable environment and has begun to return to her old ways again.

However, this is not a bad thing.

Afterwards, Zhong Lixiao began to quickly and roughly browse the popular science entries compiled by Ning Yunzhi, and couldn't help nodding repeatedly during the process.

These entries are strictly classified according to mountain medicine, fortune-telling and divination, and almost cover all aspects such as astronomy, geography, humanities, cultivation, alchemy, formation refining, and talisman drawing.

To complete the compilation of these entries, the knowledge required is quite high.

He just took a quick look and found that Ning Yunzhi had compiled these entries very professionally, which showed that she had really put in a lot of effort.

Strictly speaking, a large part of the work here should be done by him.

But now it is all done by the second disciple Ning Yunzhi!
The saying "the master has something to do and the disciple has to do it" was embodied in Ning Yunzhi at this moment.

To be honest, Zhong Lixiao felt quite refreshed.

Zhong Lixiao was very satisfied and nodded, "Yunzhi, you have worked hard. I am very satisfied. However, although compiling entries is also very important, you should not delay your cultivation because of it."

Ning Yunzhi immediately said obediently, "Master, don't worry. My cultivation has been progressing step by step. As for compiling the entries, I have recently gathered many like-minded fellow Taoists to work with me, so it won't delay my cultivation. Moreover, compiling these entries will also earn points."

Following Ning Yunzhi's explanation, Zhong Lixiao realized that his master Xu Xuanzi currently attached great importance to the Virtual Sutra Library.

A large budget has been spent on the construction of the virtual Sutra Library, and these virtual points can be exchanged for cloud coins.

It is for this reason that the virtual Sutra Library can be built so quickly.

Unlike Ning Yunzhi, Zhong Lixiao actually discovered that Hu Xiaolu had become a celebrity in the geomantic network.

The main reason for this is that Wuling Mirror also launched a virtual game at the same time.

Hu Xiaolu is essentially like a game expert!
Of course, this is a game developed by Yuanying Zhenjun after all, so it is naturally not purely entertainment like the games in the previous life.

The game itself is designed to be extremely difficult. For example, the fighting, alchemy, and talisman making in it even require a certain knowledge base in reality.

Otherwise, it is not that easy to complete this kind of game.

Unlike Ning Yunzhi who compiled entries, became famous on the Internet and became a very rare doctor, Hu Xiaolu has been playing games all the time, which seems a bit "unprofessional".

Therefore, Hu Xiaolu felt quite guilty. She kept her head down since they met, like a primary school student who was caught doing something wrong.

When Zhong Lixiao saw this, he suddenly felt like laughing.

Zhong Lixiao looked at Hu Xiaolu and asked, "Do you think playing games will help your cultivation?"

Hu Xiaolu was slightly taken aback. She carefully looked at her master a few times, confirming that he was not angry or sarcastic. Then she said carefully, "It can be helpful. Many of the brothers and sisters who participated in the battle in the underground network are very experienced."

Hu Xiaolu carefully and seriously explained her feelings, and Zhong Lixiao nodded when he heard it.

"In that case, you can continue to fight online. But remember, virtual things are virtual after all. You can believe them, but you can't trust them completely either."

Hu Xiaolu's eyes brightened up when she heard this, and she nodded heavily, "Yes!"

Afterwards, the atmosphere undoubtedly became more harmonious.

The three disciples told Zhong Lixiao about their various experiences and discoveries over the past three years.

The most sensational event was undoubtedly Xu Xuanzi’s launch of the upgraded version of the Five Spirit Mirror.

In a short period of time, it became popular throughout the Baiyun Temple and its many subordinate forces.

It is said that this improved version of the Five Spirit Mirror is now selling like hot cakes and is out of stock in a very short time.

Even the people inside Baiyun Temple attach great importance to it, and now monks who are good at refining weapons have become extremely popular.

Baiyun Temple has even publicly recruited weapon refiners from the entire cultivation world, and the salary and benefits are extremely generous.

In Fuyun Fairy City, there are now even a large number of Five Spirit Mirror Experience Halls opened, which are packed almost every day. The Five Spirit Mirror has become the most popular magical tool in the world of immortal cultivation.

Using the Five Spirit Mirror to chat, check information, communicate, take photos, etc. has completely become a new way of life.

It has to be said that the wisdom of the people is infinite.

Although the new version of the Five Spirit Mirror has not been launched for a long time, various "bloggers" have even emerged.

Travel bloggers who share various travel photos and travel notes;
Bloggers who brag about fighting, chivalry, and creating various chivalrous personalities;

There are even bloggers who specialize in imparting various knowledge on the Internet;
There are even some female Bodhisattvas who post all kinds of beautiful photos on the Internet.
These are all lifestyle changes!
On this basis, a large number of new cultural symbols have been derived, and various cultural phenomena called "Internet trends" have been born.

Various hot words and memes emerge one after another, and the pace of life has become many times faster.

In the past, monks would go into seclusion for decades or hundreds of years at a time and then come out. Except for the fact that new people would replace the old ones, the world might still be the same.

But now, in just two or three years, the world may have become unrecognizable.

Zhong Lixiao felt this deeply.

Not only that, even many of Zhong Lixiao's former acquaintances have now become completely different due to the emergence of the geomantic network.

The most typical example is Zhong Suyun.

She is now even a very famous travel blogger, and in the past two years, she has traveled all over the world.

This news surprised Zhong Lixiao somewhat. He really didn't expect Suyun to become a travel blogger.

You know, in his impression, Zhong Suyun, the fifteenth sister, has always been a little lacking in love.

If she didn't have a strong backer, she would instinctively feel panic. Now she has achieved this step on her own, which is really amazing.

The more the three disciples explained, the more Zhong Lixiao understood the tremendous changes that the Five Spirit Mirror had brought to the world by launching the earth vein network.

This terrifying influence is no longer limited to the territory ruled by Baiyun Temple.

It is said that some forces not under the jurisdiction of Baiyun Temple have begun to use the Five Spirit Mirror.

However, it is said that many immortal cultivation forces are afraid that it is a conspiracy of Baiyun Temple, and strictly prohibit the subordinate forces from using the Five Spirit Mirror in secret.

Once discovered, they will be severely punished.

But even so, there are still many monks using it secretly.

The only limiting factor may be that the geomantic network under the jurisdiction of Baiyun Temple does not extend to their area.

For example, many functions that require an internet connection are restricted and cannot be used.

but.

When faced with real needs, living beings can always find solutions on their own.

Some people even quietly move the boundary markers near the border, which is outrageous.

What happens on a larger scale is even immigration!

Even Zhong Lixiao was quite surprised when he heard the news. He really didn't expect that people would go to such lengths just to "freeload on the Internet."

At the end of the party, Xue Jingliang even took out the fine wine he brewed himself to entertain everyone.

After taking a sip, Zhong Lixiao suddenly felt something familiar.

Later he recalled that this tasted similar to the fine wine he had made himself in Yuliang Manor.
Looking back on it now, it still has a special taste.

When they were drunk, Ning Yunzhi even danced very boldly, and they were having a lot of fun for a while.

One has to admit that Ning Yunzhi's dance was indeed ethereal and intoxicating.

The next day.

Zhong Lixiao flew his flying sword into the depths of Guizang Peak alone, intending to discuss with his master about updating the Five Spirit Mirror magic weapon.

What Zhong Lixiao didn't expect was that as soon as he arrived, he heard someone spitting out sweet words loudly.

As for the reason, the core reason is that the earth vein network and the new Five Spirit Mirror launched by Xu Xuanzi are extremely sinful and have led her child Qilin astray.

As a result, her children spend all day surfing the Internet and have no time to even practice cultivation.

Zhong Lixiao was speechless, and suddenly felt as if he was being attacked by dead memories.

He really didn't expect that less than three years after the launch of Dimai Network, there were already "parents" who dared to block the door of the network company's headquarters and shout curses.

Zhong Lixiao observed quietly and found that the person who was accusing others was actually an old woman.

His cultivation level is not very high, only at the Golden Core stage, but he is full of the air of old age.

This immediately reminded Zhong Lixiao of a group of old men in the sect, all of whom were veterans who had shed blood and made contributions to the sect.

Their cultivation may not be very high, but their status in the sect is very high.

Time flies, and only a few of these elders are still alive today, while the others have basically died.

but.

Every living elder is a living fossil and a celebrity of the sect. Unless there is an unavoidable conflict of interests, ordinary people will never provoke these beings.

Otherwise, damage to reputation would be the least of the problems.

Seeing this old woman scolding his master Xu Xuanzi as if she was teaching her grandson, Zhong Lixiao felt both amused and weird.

Although the status of these meritorious veterans is respected, respect for these things is essentially mutual.

How could he be so narrow-minded as to scold Xu Xuanzi, an old Yuanying monster who was not that young, in such a disrespectful way?

Zhong Lixiao suddenly realized that the old woman's accusation that Xu Xuanzi's underground network had led her son Qilin astray might just be a facade.

The essence of this matter might be that someone with ulterior motives specifically asked this old woman to teach Xu Xuanzi a lesson!
Come to think of it, how big a cake is this with the ground network, the Five Spirit Mirror, and the virtual Sutra Library?
It is inevitable that some people will be jealous!

I guess Master Xu Xuanzi must have been under a lot of pressure recently!
If an ordinary person encountered this situation, he would probably be furious, but Master Xu Xuanzi lived up to his reputation of being unruly.

I didn't even confront the old woman head-on. You accuse me of your things and I consider mine. I didn't accept her at all.

Even after pulling to the limit and practicing various Tai Chi techniques, the old woman still couldn't find any handle on Master Xu Xuanzi.

In the end, I had no choice but to leave.

Seeing these scenes, even Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but admire his master's ability to withstand pressure.

As expected, great people never waste their time!
“Master, thank you for your hard work!”

When the old woman was unwilling to leave, Zhong Lixiao trotted out with a shameless face.

Hearing this, Xu Xuanzi's face turned unfriendly and he became even more angry, "What a pain, I think you are quite happy to see your master making a fool of himself!"

"How could that be possible? This old man has nothing better to do than to come and cause trouble for you, Master. Even if he is old and has made great contributions, how dare he take advantage of his age in front of Yuanying Zhenjun? In my opinion, there must be someone secretly instigating this!"

Zhong Lixiao quickly revealed the inside story from the perspective of conspiracy theory and changed the subject.

Sure enough, when Xu Xuanzi heard this, his expression suddenly darkened.

"It's nothing more than someone coveting the huge profits from the Five Spirit Mirror and the various virtual software inside. This is related to the path of our master and disciple, how can we easily give it to them?"

Zhong Lixiao was suddenly moved when he heard this, and asked hurriedly, "Master, have you realized something?"

For those of them who practice Taoism, they naturally cannot completely treat money as wasteland, but relatively speaking, money and interests are worthless in the face of the Tao.

Especially when one reaches the level of Xu Xuanzi, ordinary spirit stones, magic weapons, and divine materials are no longer very tempting.

but.

If you really encounter a breakthrough opportunity related to the Tao, you will never let it go!
When Xu Xuanzi heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"I've certainly gained some insights, but the biggest feeling is that I've been out of touch with the masses for too long. I don't really understand what they're thinking anymore."

"And on the Earth Vein Network, people's demands have always been very intuitive."

"Furthermore, on the Earth Vein Network, human nature and hearts are severely polarized. They're anti-intellectual and blindly follow others. While many people might be rational in real life, online they often only express their emotions and don't delve too deeply into what's right or wrong!"

Zhong Lixiao was also stunned when he heard this.

Master is talking about cyberbullying. It has only been less than three years since the ground network was born, and it has already developed to the level of "cyberbullying"?
Zhong Lixiao looked over and saw that in the depths of his master's eyes, there seemed to be some dark yet bright scarlet chaotic light lingering.

Even just looking at it made him feel palpitations.

This made Zhong Lixiao realize once again that in this world, knowledge itself is the Tao.

Perhaps the master really realized some very important truth from this. This made him see once again the huge gap between the Golden Elixir and the Nascent Soul!

At this moment, Xu Xuanzi said quietly, "Li Xiao, if there is a war between immortals in the future, what form do you think it will take?"

Zhong Lixiao was stunned.

He really didn't expect that his master would ask him such a question!
However, since the master had already started asking questions, he naturally immediately began to solve the problem from this angle.

Future immortals and wars?
That must emphasize the difference from the current war!
What does the war look like today?
Magical instruments, magic weapons, magic spells, talismans, body training, puppets.
In essence, it is a face-to-face battle, a competition of realm, financial resources, and combat qualities.

This is essentially true even for Zuo Daoxian, who has been blessed by the symbol of the Azure Dragon.

If you go deeper, you may find various kinds of witchcraft curses.

but.

These are essentially the most unorthodox of unorthodox practices, extremely minority in number, and perhaps can be ignored for the time being.

The premise for Master Xu Xuanzi to ask this question was that he had a new understanding of human nature and human heart through the underground network.

There should be some close connection between them!

Zhong Lixiao subconsciously recalled the emergence of electronic computers in his previous life, and the innovations and impacts they brought to war.

but.

Isn’t that enough?
