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

Chapter 317 Ranking Update (Thanks to 'Wang Xi' for the Alliance Master donation)
Upon hearing Zhang Yu's words, Gongshu Jin's eyes were filled with disbelief.

If taking more life-shortening drugs and working more overtime could make you this strong, you wouldn't even have a chance to work overtime. You wouldn't even have a chance to pay someone to do it.

However, Gongshu Jin also understood that even if Zhang Yu had some learning secrets, immortal cultivation experience, or hidden immortal cultivation potential, he would not easily tell him.

At the same time, Zhang Yu looked at Gongshu Jin and said, "I have to go to work overtime, but if you're willing to pay me some more spirit coins, I can stay and continue our conversation."

After hearing what Zhang Yu said, Gongshu Jin still didn't give him the spirit coins.

It's not that he can't afford it, but that he feels it's unnecessary.

After calming down, Gongshu Jin quickly realized that Zhang Yu's desperate ability... was of no use to him.

His life is far more valuable than the other person's, how could he possibly risk it like that?
"Even if I had the money to buy longevity pills, the more I took them, the higher the dosage became, and the less effective they were."

In Gongshu Jin's eyes, the longer one's lifespan is extended, the higher the cost of the next lifespan extension will be.

When the cost of extending lifespan begins to exceed a cultivator's income, a person's lifespan gradually begins to come to an end.

"Natural lifespan is never the limit of lifespan for cultivators at all levels."

"A person's true lifespan limit should be the limit of life extension that their income can afford."

Even if Zhang Yu can extend his lifespan in the future, the lifespan he has consumed by working so hard will eventually be used up.

"His lifespan limit, income limit, working years limit... have all ultimately been reduced..."

This is not a worthwhile situation for Gongshu Jin.

Having figured all this out, and watching Zhang Yu's departing figure, Gongshu Jin's mind activated the mental technique. The level 15 Azure Dragon Leap to Heaven Heart Technique constantly awakened his fighting spirit to climb upwards, soar into the sky, and reach even higher levels of Kunxu.

"I have my own path. I just need to follow it step by step, accumulate experience and make a breakthrough later. I don't need to fight with others because of temporary gains or losses..."

"Making money is the path to immortality I want to take."

Thinking of this, he sent a message to his master: Master, I lost.
The other party: How much do you want?
Upon seeing his master's reply, Gongshu Jin felt that after today's defeat, he was not discouraged at all; on the contrary, his fighting spirit and potential for immortality were surging forth endlessly.

Next time, he will be even stronger.

……

Zhang Yu was walking towards the construction site on the 666th floor.

Feeling the injuries inside his body and examining the various bloodstains on his skin, he thought to himself, "Although the ultimate Earth and Wood Sacred Body is powerful, it is still too troublesome to use."

“Every time the foreplay is too long, it would take a lot of time just to make me injured or even weak.”

"If I get covered in blood, I'll have to take a shower and do laundry... which will be even more troublesome."

While pondering, Zhang Yu slowly began to circulate his internal magical power and practice a new breathing technique.

Tianfu Longevity Exercise Level 13

After completing the Ultimate University Holy Body and the Civil Engineering Holy Body, Zhang Yu has started practicing the breathing technique again these days, preparing to promote the Chain Diagram set - Qi Meridian Flow.

The Heavenly Blessing Longevity Technique that Zhang Yu is currently practicing is one of the breathing techniques for maintaining the continuous flow of Qi.

However, although the name of this Heavenly Blessing Longevity Technique contains the word "longevity," it does not have the function of prolonging life. It only nourishes the body's flesh and blood with spiritual energy and magical power during breathing exercises, adding a foundation to the body.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Although I improved rapidly during these three months of training at the construction site in the wild, it also almost drained my body."

He felt that his body was like an empty shell at this moment. Although he was very powerful, he lacked the foundation to continue to become stronger.

After all, Zhang Yu understood that immortal cultivation was never obtained out of thin air.

The human body is like a treasure trove. Over the past three months, under the destructive exploitation of various drugs and techniques, Zhang Yu has made great progress, but the various medicinal powers, nutrients, energy, and other reserves that he has accumulated in his body have also been largely depleted.

"I need to replenish my body's foundation, otherwise my progress in immortal cultivation will probably become slower and slower."

Whenever he thought of this, Zhang Yu felt the spirit coins in his account were already restless, eager to transform into his immortal foundation and integrate into his body.

Just then, Zhang Yu saw a message flash across his eye; it was from Tu Lishan asking him to buy some body materials.

Zhang Yu: Is a blood test enough? Do you need saliva, testicles, or hair?

Tulishan: I only need blood for now. If I achieve results, I'll ask you to buy other things.

Zhang Yu shook his head regretfully, knowing that the other party probably wouldn't be able to get any results.

"After all, my potential is reflected in my will and the Feather Book, not in my mere physical body."

Just then, Tu Lishan added: "By the way, Director Gao thinks highly of you and plans to mentor you."
Tulishan: He will see you in a few days. Think carefully about what you need.

A moment later, Zhang Yu arrived at the construction site on the 666th floor.

But just as he was about to cross the construction site gate, a voice suddenly called out to him.

"Zhang Yu?"

Zhang Yu turned his head and saw a security guard with light blue hair walking over.

Just as Zhang Yu felt that the security guard looked familiar, he heard the man say, "Is it really you? Don't you remember me? Shengjie, from Xiandu."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu's eyes flickered, and he remembered the other person's identity. "This guy... was one of the four students who passed the Foundation Establishment exam in my and A-Zhen's high school year and obtained the Foundation Establishment qualification certificate."

"But I was a junior in high school at the time, and he was a senior. He was going to enter university a year earlier than me."

But Zhang Yu clearly remembered that the other party was a lackey of Wang Yin of the Oasis Group. Why didn't he apply to the Netherworld University, but instead went to the University of Ten Thousand Laws?
Seemingly understanding Zhang Yu's doubts, Shengjie smiled slightly and said, "As you know, I followed President Wang for a while when I was on the first floor."

"Although he is indeed good to his subordinates, I can sense that I am not a good fit for the atmosphere of Netherworld University and Oasis Group, so when I was applying, I thought about it and decided to switch to Wanfa University."

As a Xiandu native who climbed up from the bottom, Shengjie had the awareness to be a dog, but he understood even more clearly that the first key to being a dog was to choose the right master.

During his time with Mr. Wang on the first floor, he gradually realized that Mr. Wang was not a good choice, or at least not suitable for him.

Listening to what Shengjie said, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "You're quite clever, kid."

He glanced at the security guard uniform the other person was wearing and the class ranking of 16th on the other person's head, and Zhang Yu casually said, "You got into the security department?"

“Yes, I’ve been rotating through different positions this year, working as a security guard in the university town.” Shengjie nodded and said, “You’ve entered the Civil Engineering department? Then we might have a chance to collaborate in the future.”

As he spoke, Shengjie glanced at Zhang Yu's class ranking of 28 above his head, and then looked at the injuries on Zhang Yu's body.

He thought to himself, "Zhang Yu actually ranked like this? And with all these injuries... it seems he's not in a good situation right now either."

Although Shengjie and the other person didn't have a good relationship when they were on the first floor, seeing the other person in Wanfa University City gave him a natural feeling of being from the same hometown.

Thinking back to his own experience as a freshman, Shengjie sighed with some empathy and looked at Zhang Yu, saying, "It's tough for us freshmen. After all, it's a university of law; it's not easy to get by..."

After exchanging a few casual words, Shengjie returned to his post, only to hear the security guard next to him say, "Is that guy ranked 28th your fellow townsman?"

"This ranking is much lower than yours."

Shengjie gave an awkward laugh and said, "I guess I'm not used to it yet."

Another colleague laughed and said, "It's already good enough that you can study on the second floor. After graduation, when you go back to your hometown, you'll probably all be high-ranking officials, right?"

Faced with his classmates' teasing, Shengjie could only continue to smile awkwardly, feeling the gap between them once again: "Whether it's me or Zhang Yu, there is still a huge gap between us and these students. It will be extremely difficult for us to get into the top of the class."

On the other side, after entering the construction site, Zhang Yu began working overtime and practicing as usual.

At the same time, his "Remnant Ox Shelter Mind-Body Technique" continued to operate, and the self-healing ability brought about by the activation of his body was silently activated, controlling the gradual healing of the physical wounds.

……

While Zhang Yu was quietly working overtime.

Many students in the Foundation Building class are waiting for today's ranking update.

For example, Yingxin has already refreshed the class rankings several times.

"Gongshu Jin said he applied for the exam today, so the results will be updated today, right?"

Watching the constantly updated rankings, Yingxin felt as if she were witnessing a fierce battle erupting between Gongshu Jin and Ji Yuanshu.

Although the two did not fight face-to-face, Yingxin could still imagine how fierce the competition was.

She could almost see hundreds of spirit coins being evaporated behind both sides, turning into terrifying streams of immortal potential that collided violently, all for the sake of winning first place in the class.

Just then, Yingxin's eyes lit up; a teacher from the Foundation Establishment class had sent a message.

Jiao Lei Zhenren: The grades for the first semester have been updated for everyone. Please check your rankings and summarize what you have learned this semester.

Jiao Lei Zhenren: @Everyone
Jiao Lei Zhenren: Here I would like to give special praise to a student whose grades this semester have made a qualitative leap.

Upon seeing the class ranking posted by their homeroom teacher, Jiao Lei, Ying Xin immediately clicked on it.

First place: Ji Yuanshu, total score 1228
Second place: Zhang Yu, total score 1201
Third place: Gongshu Jin, total score 1183
Ying Xin stared at the ranking in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief: "Zhang... Zhang Yu?!"

"How did he jump to second place? He even surpassed Gongshu Jin?!"

"And his overall score isn't much different from Ji Yuanshu's?!"

But the next moment, Ying Xin seemed to think of something, and her eyes flashed slightly: "After all, because of that... it's understandable that Ji Yuanshu isn't much taller than Zhang Yu."

Yingxin was still utterly puzzled that Zhang Yu had defeated Gongshu Jin and gotten second place in the class.

"How much did he actually earn from the project over these three months?"

The thought of missing out on this project made Yingxin feel a heartache, a heartache that felt like it was about to break.

……

As Jiao Lei tagged everyone in the class group, Zhang Yu, who was working overtime at the construction site, naturally received the message as well.

However, he was busy pouring concrete and hadn't had time to look at it before he discovered that many people had sent him messages.

Zhang Yu had a sudden thought and randomly clicked on one.

Li Xiao: Brother Yu, congratulations! [fireworks][fireworks]
Zhang Yu: ?
Li Xiao: Haven't you checked the rankings yet? You're second in your class!
