Don't try to cultivate immortality; mortals live longer than immortals.

Tang Ya was somewhat disappointed by her classmates' doubts and negative attitudes towards learning.

However, as the homeroom teacher, she did not get angry. Instead, she patiently explained the reasons and advantages and disadvantages to the students in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

"I understand that you cultivators look down on general education courses, which is understandable. However, I must say that such thinking is completely wrong. You should know that although the path of immortality and technology are two completely different paths, they are not mutually exclusive."

"On the contrary, the two sides not only do not conflict, but can also complement each other. If they are perfectly integrated, they can produce results that you would never have imagined."

"1+1 is much greater than 2."

"Really?"

"Teacher, you're not just trying to fool me to meet your KPIs, are you?"

……

Despite the teacher's explanation, the students below remained skeptical, even believing that Tang Ya was exaggerating to persuade them to take out loans.

"Honestly, how can you have so little faith in your teacher?"

Faced with these stubborn little ones, Tang Ya felt powerless. She sighed and knew she had to come up with something useful, so she told a story.

This happened when she was pursuing her master's degree, and at that time, her chosen advisor happened to be in charge of a project.

This project involves both Taoist cultivation and technology. Simply put, it is about researching how to perfectly combine "active phased array radar" with "the divine sense of cultivators" to create an interdisciplinary "divine sense phased array shield".

The reason for this research is quite simple.

While ordinary personal portable phased array radars can track and lock onto dozens of targets simultaneously, their effectiveness is not particularly outstanding in this world of immortals and heroes; in fact, they can be considered quite useless. However, once combined with a cultivator's divine sense to form a divine sense phased array shield, it becomes a different story—its power immediately multiplies!

Its processing power will no longer be limited by hardware power; the power of the spirit combined with radar waves will greatly extend the detection range.

During the Foundation Establishment stage, one can extend their divine sense to 50 li (approximately 25 kilometers) and track at least eighty targets.

At the Golden Core stage, one can extend their divine sense to over a hundred miles away, simultaneously locking onto and processing up to one hundred and fifty targets, or even more. What's most terrifying is that it can even clearly dismantle targets disguised by array formations.

Such an ability, if placed in ancient times, would be a complete game-changer. Concealment techniques would be almost ineffective against the Divine Sense Control Shield, and it could even put up a fight against a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"And this is the effect that can be produced by the combination and collision of immortality and technology. So, students, do you think we should study hard? You should know that without a solid foundation in mathematics and physics, even if you cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, you will not be able to understand the principle of the Divine Thought Control Shield, let alone benefit from it."

"To use this technology and perfectly integrate divine sense with radar waves, one absolutely cannot do it with only a superficial understanding of the operating principles of phased array radar."

The students were completely bewildered by what Teacher Tang was saying.

But I have to say, it's amazing, so cool, it's just incomprehensible yet incredibly impressive!

"I see, it seems we really misunderstood the teacher."

"Oh no, does this mean that if I fail advanced mathematics or physics, I won't be able to control the divine sense phase control shield that Teacher Tang described?"

"That's right, and judging from the homeroom teacher's tone, this is just one example of the combination of Taoism and science; there are even better examples to come..."

"Oh no, I'm never slacking off again. I need to get tutoring. Xiaoyu, did you take notes in class last time for advanced mathematics? Let me copy them."

"Are they still selling intelligence potions? I heard they were on sale last week. Damn it, I scrolled past them without buying them when I was browsing."

"Teacher, why didn't you say so sooner? I want to take out a loan; I want to do a brain development project..."

……

The once lifeless classroom suddenly became lively.

The students' enthusiasm for learning was high, and this "divine mind control shield" sounded very appealing.

Teacher Tang was very satisfied with this, and his smile became incredibly kind. He nodded and said, "Yes, students' attitudes are very good. However, while you certainly need to master the knowledge of basic subjects, improving your cultivation level is the foundation for your survival. You must remember this point; putting the cart before the horse is not advisable."

"Simply put, what you are about to embark on is not a single-dimensional cultivation path, but a growth path with two main lines advancing simultaneously. However, the improvement of your cultivation realm is the foundation of everything, and you must never forget this point."

"Yes, teacher, we understand."

The students were completely convinced and responded with great enthusiasm.

Tang Ya was very satisfied and then moved on to the next topic.

"You have been in university for some time now. After these two months of study, everyone's cultivation has made great progress. However, as the top class, it is still far from enough. It is time to use elixirs as an aid."

As Teacher Tang spoke, she turned her left hand over, and her movements were obscured, but a rectangular iron box appeared in her palm.

With a "snap," she placed it on the podium. Tang Ya casually opened the lid, and instantly, a rich aroma of medicinal pills began to fill the classroom.

"This is……"

The students' eyes widened immediately; just by smelling it, they knew that the teacher had brought out something good.

"These are Spirit Gathering Pills, a benefit jointly offered by the Immortal Alliance and the school. Starting today, each of you can receive two pills per day."

"This is the most suitable dosage. Based on the collection of AI big data, two pills a day can maximize the efficacy of the medicine, allowing the user to cultivate quickly without putting too much burden on the body."

"Of course, this is a rather broad statistic based on big data. In fact, everyone's situation is different. So if any student feels that their physical condition is good enough to effectively digest and absorb the medicine without wasting its effects or harming their body, they can apply to the school based on their own circumstances."

"Applications can be submitted in writing directly to the class teacher, which is me. Alternatively, if you are socially anxious, you can log in to the campus network using your student ID number and submit your application to the logistics department."

"After receiving your application, the school will send someone to conduct the test. Once it is confirmed that your physical condition meets the requirements, the school will increase the number of pills provided to you daily as appropriate."

"And all of this, naturally, is free."
