What’s the point of cultivating immortality if you don’t have money?.

Chapter 291 I Want to Join the Hehuan Study Group
Hearing what Fuki said, Zhang Yu nodded and thought to himself, "This place is not bad; I can't sense any cameras."

What do you think, Fuki?

Fukuhime sensed it for a moment, then said, "This will do."

So Fukihime was transformed back into a rag doll, and placed on a cement altar as a symbol of the evil god.

Then Zhang Yu placed one of his Time-Remnant Demon Eyes, as a medium for the communication between humans and gods, into Fu Ji's arms.

As Fuki tapped her fingers remotely, a mysterious incantation came from her mouth, and the next moment... an invisible evil god's power passed through the Time-Remnant Demon Eye and connected to the spirit world network.

Fuki said, "Alas, due to limited resources, insufficient offerings, and a small scale, the ritual I prepared for you today will only have a mediocre effect."

"It's like a monitoring ceremony; at most, you can only control one camera within a 10-meter range."

"The next anti-surveillance ceremony will probably temporarily block all cameras within a 15-meter range."

As the ritual concluded, Zhang Yu felt the two new ritual forces within him and asked, "What about your own network? Is that complete too?"

Fuki chuckled and said, "The roaming ritual is complete. I can now share the spirit world network through your eye remains."

At this moment, in the eyes of this evil god, the world was no longer as monotonous as before. She could now see various projections of the spirit world and even browse the internet.

Zhang Yu quickly tested the power of the monitoring ritual.

He first used a detection ritual to sense a camera, and then, with the activation of a monitoring ritual, the monitoring screen appeared in Zhang Yu's eyes.

With his mind control, the camera rotated, taking in everything around it.

Experiencing the effects of the monitoring ceremony, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "The power of this monitoring ceremony... might be useful on the construction site in the future."

"Can you help me pick up some unwanted ingredients?"

"However, having both my own perspective and the surveillance perspective at the same time feels very strange... My body movements have become sluggish, and I'm not as agile as usual."

"It seems like some practice is needed."

After completing the ceremony, Zhang Yu went to another location and continued practicing the Battle Demon Life-Destroying Technique.

So over the next few days, in addition to attending classes and practicing his techniques, Zhang Yu would also occasionally use the power of the monitoring ritual to practice the feeling of using his own perspective and the monitoring perspective at the same time.

……

That day, Zhang Yu had just returned to his dormitory. He was taking his medication while controlling the security cameras on the street outside, watching the crowds passing by in the dormitory area.

Just then, Le Mulan appeared on the surveillance screen.

Besides Le Mulan, Zhang Yu also noticed a young man accompanying her.

Xuan Ge walked beside Le Mulan, his gaze sweeping over the environment of the 125th floor. He thought to himself, "Sure enough, Le Mulan's financial situation is rather poor since she came up from the first floor. She can only stay here for the time being."

"Did she say she's sharing an apartment with someone?"

"In that case, if I show a little more sincerity, the price for dual cultivation with her should be able to be reduced even further."

"Or... I could let her stay in my dorm to offset the cost of dual cultivation."

Xuan Ge kept calculating the price in his mind, but said aloud, "Le, the dormitory environment on the 125th floor is still a bit lacking, and the abundance of spiritual energy is far inferior to that of the upper dormitory. Have you ever thought about changing to another room?"

Le Mulan said calmly, "The conditions here may be so-so, but my roommates are all very nice people. Being with them... I feel it has been very helpful to my studies."

Xuan Ge chuckled inwardly upon hearing this, thinking to himself, "What help could sharing an apartment on the 125th floor possibly be to my studies? They're probably all poor wretches from the 1st floor."

Just then, Le Mulan said, "I'm almost there, Xuan... If you have something to do, you can go ahead. Actually, you didn't need to come here with me."

Xuan Ge laughed and said, "I'm going that way anyway, and besides, I said I wanted to be friends with you, so can't we chat since we're going the same way?"

"Now that we're in the dorm, won't you invite me in for a bit?"

Just then, the dormitory door opened, and Yu Xinghan, who had just finished eating the cement-mixed medicine, came out.

He looked at Le Mulan and said, "The medicine has arrived. Zhang Yu and I took it first since you weren't here yet. Don't forget to take your share when you go in."

Because the four of them returned to the dormitory at different times, they often discussed it online and then ordered the medicine in advance.

After Yu Xinghan finished speaking with Le Mulan, he looked at Xuan Ge and asked, "Your classmates?"

Xuan Ge was slightly taken aback the moment he saw Yu Xinghan.

He stared at the Foundation Establishment class ranking above the other person's head, and exclaimed in surprise, "Foundation Establishment class?"

Looking at the ranking above the other person's head, Xuan Ge felt as if a powerful pressure was coming towards him, gently shaking his body.

"Le Mulan is actually living with a Foundation Establishment student?"

Just as Xuan Ge was feeling surprised, Zhang Yu also came out, intending to go out and train his body.

Seeing Zhang Yu's ranking of 8th in the Foundation Establishment class, Xuan Ge seemed to feel the pressure in the air growing heavier, forcing him to take a step back.

At this moment, Xuan Ge thought to himself, "As expected of the eighth-ranked student in the Foundation Establishment class, just seeing the ranking above his head brings me such pressure!"

His relaxed smile turned into a stiff one, and he said cautiously, "I am Le Mulan's classmate. My name is Xuan Ge. Hello, seniors."

Just then, another graceful figure stepped past Xuan Ge and entered the dormitory. It was Zhang Pianpian, who had returned from get out of class to eat.

Seeing the words "49th in the Foundation Establishment Realm of the Talisman System" above Zhang Pianpian's head, Xuan Ge felt as if the air had frozen, and his breathing became rapid. He was shocked: "Is she a top student who made it into the department rankings?"

Upon seeing three Foundation Establishment students in succession, Xuan Ge's thoughts changed repeatedly, but in the end, only one question remained: "Why is Le Mulan able to live with three Foundation Establishment students?"

"Could I be mistaken? This woman's connections and background are better than I thought?"

At this moment, Xuan Ge had also changed his original idea of ​​using money to force Le Mulan to cultivate with him. "If Le Mulan really has a background, then it shouldn't be me throwing money at her to cultivate with me."

"It should be that she spent money to cultivate with me in order to improve her grades... That's more like it."

"We almost lost money..."

Xuan Ge thought to himself, "That was close!" Then he thought, "But she doesn't seem to mean that?"

"Don't they know the benefits of dual cultivation?"

"If you were focused on your studies in high school and didn't know anything about this, it's not impossible."

"Then I'd better explain to her the necessity of pursuing a double major during university."

"but……"

Thinking of the two men and two women in this small dormitory room, Xuan Ge's heart skipped a beat: "Could this be a Hehuan study group? Have they already teamed up for dual cultivation? Is that why Le Mulan isn't interested in me?"

"Yeah, what's the point of dual cultivation with me compared to dual cultivation with a Foundation Establishment student?"

Thinking about how Le Mulan received care from three Foundation Establishment students in this small dormitory, and how they might spend all night cultivating after school, Xuan Ge felt a strong sense of envy as he looked at Le Mulan.

"You actually managed to get matched with such a high-level game."

Xuan Ge had always felt that he should go to Hehuan University, but his elders wouldn't allow it.

Looking at Zhang Yu, he wanted to shout, "Can I join?"

Just then, Zhang Yu looked at Xuan Ge, who was lost in thought, and asked in surprise, "Hey, why are you still here?"

Xuan Ge took a deep breath, but in the end he didn't dare to say what was on his mind. He could only whisper, "Senior, I'll be going now."

"See you tomorrow, Le."

However, at this moment, Xuan Ge was determined to find out whether they were researching dual cultivation here.

If so, he'll throw money at it to get in.

If not, then he would have to explain the benefits of dual cultivation to Le Mulan.

Zhang Yu then looked at Le Mulan, feeling that the way she had been looking at him lately was a bit strange: "Is there something you need?"

Le Mulan quickly lowered her head and said, "No...it's nothing."

She thought to herself, "Zhang Yu wouldn't have noticed, would he? Impossible, I haven't even had a chance to make a move yet."

"Is it because of what happened last time that he's become more wary?"

Le Mulan frowned slightly: "Recently, he's been leaving early and coming back late every day, only eating... and talking to Bai Zhenzhen in the dorm."

"And whenever there's a meal, Yu Xinghan is always there too..."

Seeing Le Mulan's absent-minded look, Zhang Yu pursed his lips, temporarily suppressed his doubts, and went to the space below the 100th floor to continue his body tempering.

……

Over the next few days, with Zhang Yu's diligent daily practice, he finally raised the Battle Demon Life-Destroying Technique to level 20 on the day before the exam.

His basic attributes have also improved significantly. His Dao Heart has reached level 11 (87.3%), his Mana has reached 314.2, and his Physical Strength has reached level 11.29.

At the same time, Zhang Yu's understanding of the Battle Demon Life-Destroying Technique deepened once again, and his application of the technique's potential for unleashing its full potential reached a level he had never achieved before, as if he had undergone years of arduous cultivation.

The original potential of the Battle Demon Life-Destroying Technique was becoming increasingly integrated into his mind, and he was able to operate it more and more freely.

With a low shout, Zhang Yu's muscles bulged, veins stood out, steam rose from his body, and his skin turned a deep red, as if it were about to bleed.

Zhang Yu could feel that with the activation of the Battle Demon Life-Destroying Technique, his internal mana was reversed, and his physical strength temporarily increased by a full 1.5 levels.

At this moment, he could completely suppress his original self with just his physical strength.

However, Zhang Yu could also feel that countless muscles and tendons were being torn apart all over his body, and his internal organs were working overtime. If he exerted force violently, he would inevitably suffer a backlash, which would then lead to broken tendons and bones.

But in the next instant, Zhang Yu, whose muscles had been bulging, suddenly seemed to deflate, his entire body shrinking.

Zhang Yu could also feel that the temporary increase in his physical strength had decreased from level 1.5 to level 1.0.

Then his muscles relaxed again, and his originally bright red skin gradually returned to normal.

The temporary increase in physical strength also changed from level 1.0 to level 0.8, and then to level 0.5.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "This is the level 20 effect of the Battle Demon Life-Destroying Technique, which allows me to control the degree of my internal potential's burst. The lowest level is 0.1, and the highest level can even break through to 1.5, directly achieving the effect of a double burst."

As for how strong the double burst effect is, Zhang Yu hasn't tested it yet, and doesn't plan to test it for the time being.

"At my current level, I can only temporarily increase my physical strength by about 0.8 levels, which I can fully handle using the 'Broken Ox Sacrifice Technique' alone."

"And if we add the self-healing power of the Martial Saint Embryo, then temporarily increasing physical strength by 1.2 levels is basically no problem."

"If one takes medicine for injuries or uses Taoist techniques to enhance their abilities, even if their physical strength is temporarily increased by 1.5 levels, there will be no loss of lifespan."

The next moment, Zhang Yu withdrew from the Battle Demon Life-Destroying Technique, and the strange phenomena on his body also disappeared.

The next day, the three-month foundation course came to a complete end, and the Foundation Building Class faced its first exam.
