Chapter 2: Mathematics and Science Are Also Important in the Cultivation World

“Dad, will my sister really become an Immortal Master in the future?”

“Yes, definitely.”

At this time, several days had passed since the talent tests.

No one expected that Li Xiaojun’s eldest daughter, Li Yuting, would actually have a top-grade wood spirit root.

For several consecutive days, visitors kept arriving at Li Xiaojun’s home.

Naturally, Li Xiaojun was very happy that his daughter had a top-grade wood spirit root and had joined the Immortal Gate, Biyun Xianzong.

Unfortunately, due to the separation between the mortal and immortal realms, he feared it would be difficult to see his eldest daughter again.

A few days later, the Immortal Masters from Biyun Xianzong returned to Honghe Town and found Li Xiaojun!

The Immortal Masters came to inform Li Xiaojun that his daughter had been accepted as a direct disciple by the Third Elder, Fairy Yunxia.

To express their gratitude to Li Xiaojun for having given birth to a daughter with a top-grade wood spirit root, the Immortal Sect rewarded him with a vast amount of gold and silver—more than he could ever spend in his lifetime.

Additionally, he was also protected by his wealth, as no one would dare to target him, knowing that his daughter was the direct disciple of the Third Elder of the Immortal Sect.

With his daughter being accepted as a direct disciple by the Third Elder and receiving generous rewards from the Immortal Sect, more people began to visit Li Xiaojun.

Even the district magistrate from the county government paid him a visit.

At the same time, many matchmakers arrived, eager to introduce a partner for Li Xiaojun.

Li Xiaojun, now a wealthy scholar with an impressive daughter, had countless women in town wanting to marry him.

However, he firmly refused any offers for introducing a partner.

After getting married, he would have to engage intimately, and the system would forcibly deduct his life span, then strengthen a tadpole.

Thus, to live a few more years, he would never marry again.

Moreover, to ensure his young daughter could grow up healthy and happy, Li Xiaojun did not want to find a stepmother for her.

…

After becoming wealthy, Li Xiaojun did not spend his money recklessly but bought a plot of land and built a proper academy, hiring many teachers to educate children there.

…

Two years quickly passed.

His young daughter, Li Yufei, was now six years old.

At six years old, she had just completed the primary school curriculum and learned some middle school mathematics.

On the sixth day of the sixth month in the year 384 of the Great Scene Dynasty,

Li Xiaojun dressed his daughter Li Yufei beautifully and went once again to the town square.

At ten in the morning, a flying boat arrived, and the spirit root testing ceremony began again.

Last year, only one child with spirit roots was detected in Honghe Town.

This year, over one hundred children were participating in the spirit root testing, and it remained to be seen how many would be found to have spirit roots this time.

This year, the Immortal Masters coming to Honghe Town for spirit root testing were a new group, not the same as before.

As soon as the Immortal Masters arrived, the spirit root testing began immediately.

“No spirit roots, next.”

“No spirit roots, next…”

“Next…”

It was quite similar to before; most of the children being tested had no spirit roots at all.

Until the twenty-first child was tested, the crystal ball for detecting spirit roots finally emitted a light red and yellow glow.

“Earth and fire low-grade spirit roots, barely qualified, step forward!”

Hearing the Immortal Master’s words, the child and the parents immediately revealed looks of surprise.

“Next.”

However, soon the Immortal Master called for the next one.

“No spirit roots, next.”

“Next…”

After more than fifty children, it was finally time for Li Xiaojun’s daughter, Li Yufei, to be tested.

Under everyone’s gaze, little Li Yufei nervously placed her delicate white hand on the crystal ball.

After Li Yufei put her hand on the testing crystal, the Immortal Master conducting the spirit root test infused a spell into the crystal ball.

In the next moment, a faint blue light began to shine.

Quickly, the blue light grew brighter and stronger.

Seconds later, the blue light reached a blinding intensity.

This scene left everyone present in shock.

“Oh my! Exceptional water spirit root!” countless people exclaimed.

“Exceptional water spirit root, hahaha, wonderful!”

Seeing this, all the Immortal Masters displayed excited expressions.

Having detected an exceptional spirit root, they would receive a significant amount of cultivation resources as rewards when they returned to the Immortal Sect.

“Another daughter of Mr. Li, another exceptional spirit root.”

“Oh my! What luck is this! Both of Mr. Li’s daughters are exceptional spirit roots.”

“This luck is incredible!”

Li Xiaojun’s daughter being detected as having an exceptional spirit root made many people in Honghe Town extremely envious.

“Little friend, what is your name?”

A young and beautiful female Immortal Master jumped down from the flying boat and quickly approached Li Yufei, gently taking her little hand.

“I, I am Li Yufei,” little Li Yufei answered obediently.

“Li Yufei, what a lovely name! Who named you?” the female Immortal Master praised gently.

“It’s my dad.”

Li Yufei looked toward Li Xiaojun, who stood not far away in the crowd.

Hearing Li Yufei’s words, the female immortal also turned her gaze toward Li Xiaojun!

“Sir, your daughter has an exceptional water spirit root. Our Biyun Xianzong will definitely accept her as an inner disciple…”

“I know,” Li Xiaojun replied with a nod.

His eldest daughter was already an inner disciple of Biyun Xianzong, so he understood.

“We will take your daughter away shortly. You still have some time, so you can say your goodbyes,” the female immortal said to Li Xiaojun.

“Okay, thank you, Immortal Master,” Li Xiaojun quickly nodded.

“Dad!”

Maybe realizing they would be parting soon, little Li Yufei’s tears immediately started to fall.

“Don’t cry, Feifei don’t cry!” Li Xiaojun hurriedly wiped away his daughter’s tears.

“Immortal Master, I have prepared some things for my Feifei at home. May I go get them?” Li Xiaojun looked at the immortal.

“Of course, I will accompany you,” the female immortal volunteered.

“Thank you, Immortal Master,” Li Xiaojun quickly expressed his gratitude.

Soon, Li Xiaojun took his daughter back home.

Once at home, Li Xiaojun packed all of her clothes.

In addition, he included a lot of delicious food.

Finally, he also gathered some books.

These books were his own compilations of subjects like mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology over the past few years.

“Feifei, you must study these books with your sister after you reach the Immortal Gate. It’s important to learn, okay?” Li Xiaojun instructed his daughter.

“Got it!” Li Yufei nodded obediently.

Li Xiaojun wanted his daughter to learn these subjects in the cultivation world mainly because he believed these books could help her build a better worldview.

Although it was the cultivation world, mathematics was still the source of all learning.

It not only improved a person’s logical thinking skills but also helped solve many problems.

Physics was also crucial; it was the basic law of how the world operates, and physical rules existed in the cultivation world too.

Chemistry was the same; the chemical rules applicable on Earth still applied in the cultivation world.

As for biology, Li Xiaojun didn’t write much, as many living beings in the cultivation world were different from those on Earth!

He only introduced the origins of life, evolution, and basic knowledge about cells, tissues, and body structure.

He hoped his daughter would gain a deeper understanding of the worldview through her studies.
