Exploring Immortality Cultivation

Master Xi Baiche, who led the discussion, had been at it for the entire day.

By this time, he started to feel slightly drained of mana and saw that many of his disciples were showing signs of fatigue.

For cultivators, such intense intellectual engagement was indeed tiring.

Xi Baiche cleared his throat and said, "Let's stop here for now, everyone go back and rest, organize your thoughts and we will continue discussing this topic next time."

Several members of the Carefree group got up to leave. At that moment, Feng Luoyi called out to everyone.

When Ai Kemeng, a disciple under Master Xi, saw Feng's spirited face, he laughed and said, "Mr. Feng, not everyone can compute effortlessly like you who is very much like the Ten Thousand Immortals True Mirror, we are tired, so if you have any questions, let's save them for next time."

"This issue isn't too complex, I just wanted to ask everyone's opinion on how to deal with the author of this paper."

Ruoche looked at Feng Luoyi, expecting an explanation.

Ai Kemeng also asked, "What do you mean by 'deal with'? This obviously must be a disciple from our sect."

"Oh, I almost forgot." Xi Baiche shook his head and chuckled, "I get lost in discussion."

He then repeated the issue of Wang Qi's identity and the conflict between Wang Qi and Chen Jingyun.

Ai Kemeng got somewhat angry, "Isn't Master Chen overdoing it?"

Feng Luoyi shook his head, "It's not overdoing it. After all, he is the Sect Leader of the Wanfa Sect and has the responsibility to protect. Moreover, it was I and the Carefree members from Yangshen Pavilion who decided to place him in Divine Capital."

"But that was then, this is now," Xi Baiche said. "The first time I simply saw that boy, he was still wandering in the early stages of Qi Cultivation, struggling to resolve conflicts in his cultivation process. I hadn't expected that in such a short time, he would achieve so much."

Everyone looked towards the Master of Calculation. Xi Baiche was a straightforward person. He treated everyone equally and was neither prone to flattery nor did he enjoy being flattered. Even if the Heavenly Emperor stood before him, or even if he lost all his cultivation abilities, he'd judge the same way. If he said someone was good, it could only mean that person was genuinely good.

The position of the Master had been declared. The Wanfa Sect, or at least the Geting branch, would become a supportive pillar for Wang Qi.

Now, the matter at hand was, how could they assist Wang Qi appropriately when the entire Immortal Alliance was hostile towards the Banished Immortal?

Wang Qi was unaware that a discussion that would affect his future and fate was being fervently pursued. At that moment, he was engaged in another discussion.

"…When the number of trials is sufficiently large, the frequency of an event occurring in repeated independent Bao's trials almost equals the probability of that event in each trial. This theorem rigorously defines the stability of frequency, thus, in practical applications, when the number of trials is large enough, the frequency of an event can replace its probability. This is the core essence of Bao's Big Number Law…" Wang Qi, looking weary, explained to Bao Xiaoya, "The scenario I plan to discuss next is another kind..."

"Ah, I'm so tired..."

While speaking, Wang Qi actually yawned.

Bao Xiaoya, dissatisfied, said, "Senior Brother, is talking to me that boring? You've nearly fallen asleep twice now."

"It can't be helped, I've been frantically reading and polishing my paper for six straight days," Wang Qi sighed.

In order to perfect his paper on first-order logic and completeness theorems, Wang Qi had been tirelessly absorbing theories from Shenzhou for the last six days, like a sponge soaking in the theory from Shenzhou's Great Powers.

But now, he felt somewhat oversaturated.

Bao Xiaoya remained displeased, "Your attitude is really not serious."

Sister… we're discussing a very sacred and serious issue here; maybe the problem is with your attitude?

Wang Qi restrained his desire to retort and continued with his eyes closed, "Bao's Big Number Law demonstrates the stability of frequency in repeated random trials under identical conditions. I plan to discuss whether this frequency stability still holds when the conditions vary in independent random trials. That is to say, as the number of trials increases indefinitely, can the frequency of an event 'A' in several independent trials stabilize at the arithmetic average of probabilities in each trial?"

Well, according to my experience, that should be enough.

"This indeed is a worthy topic to explore," Bao Xiaoya quickly lost her focus on Wang Qi and directed her attention towards the mathematical problem discussed.

"The Big Number Law" is also known as the "Average Law." In the repeated occurrence of random events, a nearly inevitable rule often appears, which is the Big Number Law. In layman's terms, this law posits that in unchanged conditions, after many repeated trials, the frequency of a random event stabilizes at a probabilistic value. For instance, when tossing a coin upward, which side faces up after landing is originally unpredictable, but when the number of tosses is sufficiently large—reaching tens of thousands or even millions—the number of times the coin faces upward accounts for about half of the total number of tosses. The inevitable is contained within the accidental.

From the statistical definition of probability, it's clear that the frequency of an event exhibits stability, namely, as the number of trials increases, the frequency of the event gradually stabilizes around a certain constant. Regardless of the individual random entities and their individual characteristics during the conduct of the trial, the average effect of a large number of random entities is independent of any individual's characteristics and is no longer random.

So, what exactly does this stability mean? Under what conditions does it hold?

This is the issue that the Big Number seeks to explore.

Furthermore, to develop the Big Number Law, one must start with this "stability."

Along with the research on stability, significant concepts such as "random variable" and "mathematical expectation" will also gradually be refined.

These will then become the foundations of mathematical statistics and, subsequently, the cornerstone of physics.

This is Wang Qi's ultimate goal.

Only when the mathematics of Shenzhou is developed to be nearly equivalent to that of Earth can the knowledge accumulated by Wang Qi in his past life be truly transformed into tangible strength.

After discussing for a while, Wang Qi stood up and said, "Alright, let's end today's discussion here. I'll go back to catch up on some sleep, then finish this discussion paper on Bao's Big Number Law and get it published. Next time we meet, let's each bring a draft and discuss it together, maybe co-author a paper, what do you think?"

"Sure," Bao Xiaoya nodded, then asked, "Senior Brother, the paper you submitted yesterday, you thought about it for a long time, didn't you?"

Wang Qi nodded, "I exhausted all my mental efforts."

"So, your abilities must have improved, right?" A glint flashed in Bao Xiaoya's eyes, "Shall we have a little spar?"
