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

Chapter 307 Construction Site in the Wilderness (Thanks to 'I am a Reader' for the third time for the generous donation)

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and before we know it, it's December.

In the past two weeks, Zhang Yu has indeed spent a lot of spirit coins.

He was sitting cross-legged in his dormitory, holding a white jade bead in his hand, feeling a warm and calm magical power flowing through it.

This is a mysterious relic that Zhang Yu rented; it can store magical power within it.

According to the manufacturer, only one or two relics are produced from each cremation of a master at Kongo University, making each one unique and obtained from the master's personal cremation.

However, when Zhang Yu inquired with Zhang Pianpian, he was told that these relics were mass-produced artificial goods, and a materials engineer at King Kong University could produce hundreds of them in a year.

Although it's not as powerful as advertised, it's sufficient for Zhang Yu.

After all, a single Xuanzao relic can contain 10000 units of magical power.

The one in Zhang Yu's hand, for example, was already filled with 10000 units of mana when it was rented, with a mana quality of up to 200%.

Although some of the mana will be lost over time, Zhang Yu can still use it to absorb it every day to improve the quality of his mana for a month.

He spent 4.5 spirit coins to rent three such Xuanzao relics so that he could still absorb high-quality magic power every day after going to the construction site in the wild, in order to improve the quality of his magic power.

Of course, once he returns from the construction site, the Xuanzao Relic, now devoid of magical power, must be returned on time, otherwise the rent will increase.

Fearing he might forget to return it on time, Zhang Yu said to Fu Ji in his heart, "Fu Ji, please remind me to return this Xuanzao Relic when I get back."

Just to be on the safe side, Zhang Yu set several alarms in the eye socket to remind him to return it.

These are money-saving tips I learned from Yu Xinghan, such as returning rented items at the designated time, canceling the service on the last day of the trial period, canceling the continuous monthly subscription after taking advantage of the discount, and setting multiple alarms at different times to avoid losing spirit coins due to oversight.

After checking that the three Xuanzao relics were full of magical power and of good quality, Zhang Yu picked up another jade box that had just arrived.

The jade box was opened, and a bright green Gu worm was curled up inside a crystal.

This is the Jade Spirit Gu that Zhang Yu rented for three months for 2.55 spirit coins.

Although it looks like an insect, it is actually a magical artifact.

According to Yun Jing... this is a bionic magic weapon made by imitating the Gu worms of Tianyao University.

The initial purpose of the research was to cultivate companion spiritual roots and promote their evolution, such as from earth spiritual roots to heaven spiritual roots, or even from heaven spiritual roots to divine spiritual roots.

However, this research has not yet been successful, and it is said that it will take another 100 years and tens of thousands of spirit coins to make a breakthrough.

Although the Jade Spirit Gu cannot currently promote the evolution of spiritual roots, it can be used to enhance the fusion degree of spiritual roots.

Zhang Yu swallowed it, and the crystal containing the Gu worm melted instantly. The Azure Spirit Gu within activated in the blink of an eye, naturally burrowing into Zhang Yu's dantian and climbing onto his Qi Sea Spirit Root.

As the Qi Sea Spiritual Root shares its spiritual energy with the Azure Spirit Gu, the Gu worm reciprocates with a trace of primordial energy, forming a wondrous relationship with the Qi Sea Spiritual Root.

Since Zhang Yu increased the fusion rate of his Qi Sea Spiritual Root to 9%, he felt that the Spiritual Root was gradually falling into dormancy, and ordinary methods were of little effect.

Zhang Yu understood that this was because the spiritual root eventually merged and grew in the smallest parts of the body, so the efficiency naturally became slower and slower.

But at this moment, with the effect of the Jade Spirit Gu, he soon felt an itching sensation in many parts of his body, as if flesh and blood were growing inside.

Zhang Yu knew that this was a sign that the Qi Sea Spiritual Root was growing again, merging into those subtle parts.

"In this way, after about two or three months, my spiritual root fusion rate will reach 10%, and the spiritual root in my Qi Sea will be completely integrated with me, no longer separate."

"The efficiency of mana manipulation and the convergence of spiritual energy can be improved by about 10%..."

Even if there are no Taoist magic services available in the wild, one's own spiritual root fusion level should still increase.

Zhang Yu continued to calculate in his mind: "In this way, the quality of my magic power and the degree of integration with my spiritual root will not be affected when I go to the construction site this time."

"In terms of physical strength, the Nine Hells Mountain Suppressing Belt is sufficient."

"Regarding the Dao Heart..."

Zhang Yu looked at the spiritual realm shield beside him. As long as the construction site had a spiritual realm network, he would be able to use spiritual realm services to assist in the tempering of his Dao heart.

In addition, there were several boxes of commonly used medicines and three boxes of spirit stones to help with breathing exercises, which consumed nearly 1.6 spirit coins.

Of course, in the past two weeks, besides preparing these things for the construction site, Zhang Yu also spent a lot of spirit coins on various Taoist services and spirit world services, allowing his strength to surge once again.

Currently, my Dao Heart has reached level 12 (90.6%), my Mana is 425.5, my Mana Quality is 136%, and my Physical Strength is level 12.63.

The purchase and practice of new techniques allowed Zhang Yu to upgrade his Earth and Wood Sacred Body techniques to seven levels, just one more to achieve new effects.

Feeling his strength improving step by step, Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh, "Spirit coins are really useful. Coupled with my unparalleled talent, if I continue to train like this, I'm afraid I can raise all my stats to the peak of Foundation Establishment in one or two years at most."

Looking at the 10.3 spirit coins left in his account, Zhang Yu sighed inwardly, "Spirit coins really don't last long." And just the day before his departure, the flying sword sent by Bai Zhenzhen finally arrived.

……

In early November.

After taking leave, applying for online classes, packing my luggage, and saying goodbye to Yu Xinghan, Le Mulan, and Zhang Pianpian.

Zhang Yu, along with many students and teachers from the Civil Engineering Department, boarded a flying boat and embarked on a journey to a field construction site, beginning this three-month trip.

Once aboard the airship, the students were divided into two groups and went to different meeting rooms on the airship for meetings.

Tu Lishan arrived at the conference room where Zhang Yu was. Looking at the group of poor guys below the stage, he thought that Director Gao should already be having a meeting with Gongshu Jin and the others.

"Sigh, when will I be able to take charge of the classes for the rich? And stop hanging out with these poor folks all day long?"

Suppressing his chaotic thoughts, Tu Lishan looked at the crowd below the stage, smiled, and said, "Dear students, you are all elites carefully selected by Director Gao from each grade. I look forward to your performance over the next three months."

"I'll create a group chat first, and I'll use it to notify you of anything that happens over the next three months."

"Also, please receive the documents sent to you. They contain your respective tasks assigned to you in the project, as well as your training plan for the next three months..."

Looking at the training plan in the document, Zhang Yu raised an eyebrow slightly.

Then Tu Lishan continued, "Everyone, all the departments in the university know that civil engineering is tough and tiring, but no one ever says that civil engineering is poor."

"As long as everyone is willing to work hard and endure hardship, the department will definitely give everyone the opportunity to make money."

The next moment, his expression turned serious, and he said, "I'll be frank about this project... there are quotas for deaths from above."

As Tulishan looked at the students on the scene, the debts and savings behind each of them were already reflected in his eyes.

Looking at these numbers, Tulishan seemed to see the extraordinary potential for immortality within everyone.

An older student said, "Teacher Tu, there's no need to say anything scary."

"Putting aside suicide rate, demonization rate, homicide rate, and bankruptcy rate, our civil engineering department is still likely to rank first in sudden death rate. In our line of work... who's afraid of death?"

"Huh?" Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Is this some kind of construction site?"

Zhang Yu turned to look at the student who was speaking and found that the student had white hair and a face full of wrinkles, looking like an old man over a hundred years old.

However, apart from this face, most of the rest of the other party's body is composed of magical remains, so it is impossible to see the difference between old and young.

Tu Lishan smiled slightly and continued, "Che Yufei is right. If you're afraid of dying, why get into civil engineering? Why cultivate immortality?"

"As long as you have money, you can come back to life after you die, regain your youth when you are old, and extend your life when you are about to die."

“Spirit coins are everything! And you yourselves understand your own conditions. If you want to earn spirit coins, you have to fight for them.”

"Now the department is giving you this opportunity."

"In order to keep up with the times and continue to compete in the future market, the department has decided to use the most effective, rigorous, and efficient methods to maximize your potential over the next three months to improve your professional skills and cultivation, thereby increasing your future income."

As they were talking, the first meal after boarding the ship was placed in front of everyone.

Looking at these white pills, Zhang Yu could vaguely see something burrowing inside them.

Tu Lishan said, "For the next three months, the department will cover all six of your meals a day."

"The first meal I ate today was this Three Insects Tendon-Changing Pill."

"After taking it, it will accelerate the consumption of your magical power and vital energy, but as long as you can withstand it, it will be like carrying a heavy load, constantly stimulating your potential and making your physique stronger..."

Before Tulishan could finish speaking, some students had already started eating.

Seeing the students around him starting to eat, Zhang Yu also ate a Three Insects Tendon-Changing Pill. The next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, as if something was constantly gnawing at his internal organs.

He felt that his physical strength and magical power were beginning to decline slightly.

To combat this loss, we must work harder to breathe and tap into our own potential.

"And..." Zhang Yu felt the abnormality in his internal organs and thought to himself, "Won't this make me sick if this goes on for a long time?"

Sure enough, Tu Lishan said, "If you take the Three Insects Tendon Strengthening Pill for a long time, it will affect your endocrine, cardiovascular and spiritual root systems, causing arrhythmia and spiritual root overload. Remember to stop taking the medicine immediately if any problems occur."

Zhang Yu worked hard to control his activated body, continuously healing the minor damage to his internal organs, and felt that he could withstand the damage caused by the Three Insects Tendon-Changing Pill.
