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

Chapter 312 Zhang Yu, I'm scared of you like this

Looking at the second layer of effects of the Earth and Wood Sacred Body, Zhang Yu smiled slightly and swallowed the No. 20 Secret Steel in his hand in one gulp.

Then he first activated the Earth-Eating Divine Art, and the streams of gluttonous magical power condensed in his dantian rose up and blasted towards the No. 20 Secret Steel in his abdomen.

Immediately afterwards, his muscles tensed up, his heart began to pound violently, and streams of blood gushed out from his heart like a raging flood.

The surge of qi and blood turned Zhang Yu's skin a deep crimson, as if it were about to bleed.

It was the level 20 Battle Demon Life-Destroying Technique that was suddenly activated, and it wasn't just an ordinary burst, but a double burst.

This is a form that Zhang Yu has never unleashed at full power since he cultivated the Battle Demon Life-Destroying Technique to level 20, simply because he knew back then that this form was extremely life-consuming.

But now that he had the second layer of the Earth and Wood Sacred Body's effect, the lifespan loss from using Foundation Establishment stage techniques was greatly reduced, so Zhang Yu finally decided to unleash the second layer of the Battle Demon Lifespan Loss Technique.

His veins bulged all over his body, and his internal potential seemed to be forcibly unleashed as if by explosives, causing his physical strength to temporarily increase by 2.0 levels.

The surging power exploded in his internal organs, making his stomach, which had been repeatedly strengthened, seem like a giant millstone, pressing down hard on the No. 20 secret steel inside his abdomen.

At the same time, the level 20 Wuji Zhenchan was activated, and the activation brought overclocking vibrations due to the level 20 effect.

But this was not the end. Zhang Yu unleashed both palms, striking himself hard. The Formless Cloud Force, combined with the advanced military-grade martial art Nine Heavens Cloud Void Force, was unleashed with a thunderous roar.

Amidst the crackling and popping sounds, the Nine Heavens Cloud Void Force, through the voids within its Qi, frantically absorbed the over-frequency vibrations erupting from the Limitless Vibration Zen, then released them, creating further resonance.

At this moment, Zhang Yu concentrated all his cultivation on the No. 20 secret steel in his abdomen.

10 seconds... 1 minute... 3 minutes!

A full three minutes of all-out burst of energy.

The once incredibly sturdy and undamaged No. 20 Secret Steel is now gradually cracking, vibrating, and beginning to shatter...

Zhang Yu stared at this scene with a ferocious expression, let out a low shout, and continued to work hard to refine the No. 20 secret steel.

Suddenly, he felt a sudden exhaustion in his internal organs, realizing that he was severely depleted of energy and needed to rest.

So he temporarily stopped the operation of his cultivation technique, switched his Earth and Wood Sacred Body to University Sacred Body, and began to rest while continuing to refine the secret steel with the digestive power of a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator.

By constantly switching between his Holy Body, sometimes bursting forth and sometimes resting, Zhang Yu finally completely refined the No. 20 Secret Steel in his stomach, incorporating it all into the bones of his right hand, fusing the Secret Steel with his own hand bones into one, making them inseparable.

Feeling the sudden increase in weight in his hand bones, and the incredibly solid and indestructible sensation within them, Zhang Yu smiled with satisfaction.

The difficulty of refining this No. 20 secret steel also indicates the extent to which his bone strength will increase after successful refining.

“Very good. In this way, I will have enough time to strengthen my entire skeleton with No. 20 Secret Steel before the end of this field construction project.”

So in the days that followed, Zhang Yu devoted most of his energy and strength, apart from his work on the construction site and his cultivation, to refining the No. 20 secret steel.

In order to replenish his energy and further accelerate his cultivation progress, Zhang Yu, despite the effects of the second layer of the Earth and Wood Sacred Body, also began to consume many more potent, fierce, and life-shortening drugs.

……

Inside the room, as Zhang Yu selected his meal, a 10-piece set meal was delivered directly to him.

Meanwhile, the white-haired Che Yufei watched as Zhang Yu ate one of the Rift Blood Explosion Pills, Life-Eating Heaven-Seizing Powder, Hundred Tribulations Heart-Eating Gu, and Life-Loss-Damaging Heavenly Secret Powder... and couldn't help but gasp in shock.

"Are freshmen these days working this hard?"

Fuki, who was also watching this scene, couldn't help but say, "No... Zhang Yu, aren't you going a little too far?"

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Fu Ji, you know that the sect might stop recruiting at any time, right?"

"In order to survive, in order to overcome this damned ritual and gain true freedom..."

"I just want to seize the day."

After saying that, Zhang Yu swallowed the rest of the medicine.

Five days later, after seeing Zhang Yu double his dosage, Che Yufei couldn't help but ask, "Brother, are you alright?"

Zhang Yu grinned and said, "It's nothing, what could possibly be wrong?"

Feeling the surging magical power within his body, the roaring blood and qi, his heart that felt like it was about to fall apart, and his brain that was beginning to boil, Zhang Yu exclaimed excitedly, "I've never felt so good before!"

Zhang Yu's drug evaluation data also skyrocketed.

Sudden death rate: 32%!

The long list of various ailments that followed resembled rows of scarlet death warnings, urging him to reduce his medication.

Fu Ji couldn't help but say, "Zhang Yu, let's not eat like this, okay? I'm scared."

Fuki was unaware of the existence of the Civil Engineering Holy Body and the University Holy Body, and Zhang Yu did not explain, only saying in his heart, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Fuki cursed inwardly, "You call this knowing what you're doing? I'm afraid you'll ruin yourself! Then all my investment will be wasted?"

Zhang Yu ignored the warnings posed by those numbers.

Using the Earth and Wood Sacred Body to withstand the first wave of drug side effects, then switching to the University Sacred Body from time to time to digest the drug's power, cooperating with the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen to metabolize the drug's poison, and continuously using the level 20 Remnant Ox Body-Body-Soothing Technique to maintain the body's activity and accelerate the body's self-healing...

Zhang Yu then realized that those numbers about sudden death and illness were completely inaccurate to him.

As for revealing his special physical condition, after consulting with Zhang Pianpian, he understood that it wouldn't be a big problem.

After all, compared to the astonishing talent of advancing a cultivation technique to level 20 in just half a month, this is a far cry from the extraordinary talent of such a person.

Compared to that, the special physical condition that allows one to take medicine and work incredibly hard is not so incredible. In the history of the top ten universities, there is no shortage of people with such strong physical conditions.

Just like when Master Xinghuo discovered his exceptionally strong self-healing ability, he was surprised, but not found it unbelievable or illogical.

Although Zhang Pianpian advised against him showcasing himself in this way, Zhang Yu knew his time was limited. He could only seize every opportunity and resource to become stronger while protecting himself as much as possible.

field.

Zhang Yu's arm bones were forged into No. 20 secret steel.

The already increased weight of the arms was amplified by the Nine Prisons Suppressing Mountain Belt, making them feel even heavier.

Zhang Yu tried his best to adapt to his body, which was getting heavier every day, and to let his body adapt.

Although the gravity enhancement from his Nine Prisons Mountain-Suppressing Belt did not increase further, Zhang Yu could feel that with the operation of the body-refining technique and the vigorous infusion of various medicines, in order to adapt to the new weight and with the stronger bones as the carrier, his muscles were being constantly squeezed to produce stronger power.

……

Inside Zhang Yu's room.

Tu Lishan smiled and said, "Zhang Yu, have you been in a bad mood lately?"

"Did something unpleasant happen?"

"You're not gambling, are you?"

Because Zhang Yu's dosage of medicine was increasing, it caught the teacher's attention, leading Tu Lishan to suspect that the kid was heavily in debt and didn't want to live anymore.

Faced with his teacher's suspicions, Zhang Yu knew that the more he tried to cover it up, the more suspicious he would appear.

Therefore, he decided to do the opposite, to eat and drink openly and honestly.

Zhang Yu said, "Teacher, I have a special constitution. I've had this since high school, and the dosage of medicine is particularly high."

"Teacher, don't worry, I can sense my own condition. If I feel anything unusual, I won't continue taking it."

Tulishan looked at Zhang Yu with some skepticism and said, "Go get some blood drawn so the doctor on duty can check if there's anything wrong with your health."

……

The roof of the newly built factory building.

Disliking the unpleasant smell in the room, Zhang Yu came here alone and was holding a Xuanzao relic, absorbing its magical power.

Besides improving other aspects, he has never neglected to improve the quality of his magic power, waiting to help Le Mulan improve the quality of her magic power after returning.

……

Medical room.

Looking at the object in his hand and smelling its strong medicinal aroma, the doctor asked, "Is this some new drug? Should we analyze its components?"

Tu Lishan said, "This blood was drawn from a trainee's body."

The doctor exclaimed in surprise, "This is blood?"

Tu Lishan said, "You should check him out. This student said he has a special constitution and needs a larger dosage of medicine. See what the situation is."

The test results showed no abnormalities, and Zhang Yu was in perfect health.

Tulishan was not surprised by this. After all, Kunxu was so large, with a long history of immortal cultivation and a variety of special physiques emerging one after another. Many of its mysteries have not yet been fully explained by the ten major sects.

When Tulishan reported the situation to Director Gao, the 800-year-old Nascent Soul True Lord said calmly, "The calculation data for drug recommendations is, after all, based on a general template. It is normal for there to be differences between individuals, which also shows that his constitution is indeed different from others."

"It's a good thing that the students are physically strong. Zhang Yu's physique is also very suitable for the Civil Engineering department."

"Although the upper limit may be a bit low, it's perfect for construction work. Not only can it help us grow faster than others, but it can also help us work for a few more years."

Director Gao casually said, "If he wants to eat, let him eat whatever he wants."

"By the way, you can also ask him if he'd be willing to sell some samples to people in the biology or medical departments; they might be interested."

After saying that, the Nascent Soul True Monarch looked at the learning progress of Gongshu Jin, Mo Shang Jin, and others.

Compared to Zhang Yu, he was more concerned about the situation of the wealthy students, because in his eyes, these students were the face of the Civil Engineering Department for the next few years.

After hanging up the call, Tu Lishan thought to himself, "Should I sell some samples to other colleges? Well, we've already invested a lot of resources in Zhang Yu, so every little bit helps."

"However... as expected, the director is still more concerned about Gongshu Jin and the others."

"After all, Zhang Yu has a special constitution, so he just needs to take more medicine."

"And having money... allows you to do so many things, besides taking more medicine."

"There are two more months until the project here is finished, and I'll be going back just in time for the end of the semester."

"I wonder if Gongshu Jin can catch up with Ji Yuanshu."

……

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

Two full months have passed since Zhang Yu first arrived at this construction site.

Inside the room, Che Yufei and Shi Yunxiang watched Zhang Yu hurriedly take his medicine, and were filled with shock and envy at his strong physique and remarkably youthful appearance.

"Ah, I'm so full!" Zhang Yu rubbed his stomach and left the room. "I'm going to digest."

Upon arriving at the construction site, he resumed his practice of civil engineering techniques.

Today is the day he will advance the 10th Earth and Wood Sacred Body technique to level 20, thus completely completing the Earth and Wood Sacred Body.
