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

Chapter 325 Gravesite Blind Box
By mid-April, Zhang Yu, Yu Xinghan, Li Xiao, and other students had already made their way to the tenth underground level.

In addition to first-year students, many outstanding senior students also signed up to participate in this cemetery renovation project.

For example, the person walking at the very front of the group right now is a sixth-year student named Tian Yang, who is also responsible for leading, supervising, and coordinating the work of these students.

As Zhang Yu walked through the wide underground passage, the further he went, the more he could feel the spiritual energy in the air becoming increasingly concentrated.

As far as Zhang Yu knew, the underground spiritual veins of Wanfa University City were not formed naturally. Instead, when the university city was built, the terrain was adjusted to draw in the spiritual veins, resulting in a total of eighty-eight spiritual veins converging here.

The passage they were walking on led to one of the spiritual veins.

A moment later, a huge metal door appeared in front of everyone.

Sensing the faint flow of magical power emanating from within the door, Zhang Yu could feel the powerful array energy surging behind it.

Tian Yang, who was leading the way, said, "The cemetery area is just ahead. Everyone, line up and pass through one by one. Don't crowd together."

In Zhang Yu's mind, a line of words also appeared on the gate: Huilongyuan Fali Production Co., Ltd.
Zhang Yu understood perfectly well that "cemetery" and "underground cemetery" were just colloquial terms, while the company name was the official name.

The next moment, as the closed door opened, a blast of cold air rushed out.

In that instant, the air around them seemed to thicken.

As Zhang Yu walked in step by step, not only did the air become increasingly viscous, but he could also feel the humidity around him increasing. The spiritual energy began to float in the air like water droplets, forming a colorful thick fog.

Zhang Yu took a deep breath, and as his internal magical power circulated, he felt a surge of spiritual energy, his magical power increased slightly, and his flesh and blood were nourished.

Yu Xinghan, standing to the side, sighed, "No wonder this project has application requirements. Working here... even breathing is a perk."

Zhang Yu nodded slightly upon hearing this, thinking to himself that it was fortunate that the spiritual energy on the second floor wasn't so valuable, otherwise they would probably have had to bring oxygen tanks in to work.

In addition to the increasing intensity of spiritual energy, the temperature in the air was also decreasing.

Zhang Yu analyzed that this was probably to cool down the corpses that were circulating their magical power and breathing spiritual energy day and night.

At the same time, a notification and a series of options appeared in Zhang Yu's eyes.

Welcome to Huilong Garden!

Zhang Yu randomly selected a tour guide and found a map of the entire Huilong Park appearing before him, divided into sections for festivals, charity, gratitude, and family activities...

What is the "festival region"?

Zhang Yu looked over curiously and then understood that the so-called "saving area" was to save space by removing unnecessary parts from some low-value corpses, optimizing and compressing their structure, and then storing them in corpse cabinets to connect to the breathing cluster with minimal footprint.

Just then, Li Xiao said, "Look at these blind boxes for sale here, there are some good stuff inside!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu also looked at the merchandise purchase option displayed in the eye skeleton and thought to himself, "Discarded corpse parts can be sold as blind boxes after being disassembled?"

Looking at the various pieces of flesh, hands, feet, meridians, and even dantian that might appear in the blind boxes... Zhang Yu couldn't help but frown: "They can even sell this?"

Yu Xinghan, standing to the side, said, "Yes, the body parts here are running 24 hours a day. The organs taken from the scrapped body parts are so old, they're older than me. Are they even usable?"

Li Xiao couldn't help but say, "If only I could draw a Golden Core, or even a Nascent Soul organ..."

Yu Xinghan said dismissively, "Hey Xiao Li, why do you always have this speculative mentality? You're opening blind boxes, but the person who opens them can't be really blind. Do you think you'll ever get any good stuff?"

"The path to immortality is most averse to the idea of ​​taking shortcuts. Shortcuts are for the rich. We poor people who cultivate immortality must be down-to-earth, taking out loans one step at a time and repaying them one step at a time. Don't always think about getting rich overnight."

"And don't you think about how many body parts need to be disposed of every year? Can you really handle it all by selling blind boxes? There must be other disposal channels. Who knows where all those body parts and organs that come in and out of here come from, and what their quality is..."

Just as Yu Xinghan was speaking eloquently, a voice suddenly interrupted him.

“My dear student, Wanfa University is a legitimate university, and Huilong Garden has always been a legally operated cemetery. It’s not like Youming University, which sells living people as corpses. Every organ and every body part here represents a legitimate death, and their origins and destinations are all clear.”

Everyone looked at the young man who had spoken, and Tian Yang, who was leading the team, quickly said, "Manager Sun, my junior doesn't know anything and is just talking nonsense. You don't need to pay attention to him."

The man, referred to as Manager Sun, had a cold look in his eyes. He glanced at Yu Xinghan and then said nothing more. He looked at Tian Yang and said, "The cemetery to be repaired this time is quite large. Thank you all for your hard work."

After assigning the tasks, Manager Sun left, and Tian Yang then began to distribute the tasks.

Soon, arrows began to appear in everyone's eyes, along with their respective task assignments.

Following the arrow's direction, Zhang Yu continued forward, gradually separating from his classmates.

He looked at the rows of densely packed iron cans on both sides and thought to himself that these must contain the body parts.

A moment later, Zhang Yu saw a large number of iron cans that had been squeezed and twisted on the ground.

There is also extensive damage to the surrounding ground, array foundations, spirit circuits, nutrient pipelines, spirit network, surveillance cameras, and other infrastructure.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Is this the area I'm responsible for repairing?"

"Even the network is down?" A glint flashed in his eyes as the project files and repair drawings he had downloaded in advance appeared one by one.

"Speaking of which... why was there such severe damage here?"

"Although the official explanation is that the high concentration of spiritual energy caused the corpses to turn into zombies, the universities and companies in Kunxu don't feel that their superficial explanations can be trusted."

Zhang Yu shook his head, temporarily suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, and prepared to start working.

As for the preparations to be made before work, of course it's taking medication.

After all, for Zhang Yu, the main purpose of coming to the construction site was to freeload food and drinks; work was just a side job.

Thanks to Director Gao's special care, Zhang Yu, who entered the construction site, was still able to receive no more than 10 doses of life-shortening medication every day for free.

The Blood-Draining Powder can temporarily and violently dilate blood vessels and meridians, stimulate the dantian and heartbeat, and violently accelerate the flow of qi, blood, and magical power throughout the body...

Spiritual root stimulant stimulates the spiritual root's central nervous system, increasing its sensitivity and thickness, and temporarily improving its efficiency and endurance...

Zhang Yu then injected doses of conventional potent drugs into his body.

This time, because he wanted to focus on the breathing technique, most of the medicines he chose were related to the circulation of magical power.

He sat cross-legged and began practicing the sixth set of breathing techniques for the continuous flow of Qi – the superior foundation-building technique.

The reason Zhang Yu chose this breathing technique, besides the Qi Meridian Flow set, was that this breathing technique could slightly improve the quality of magical power while gathering spiritual energy and exhaling magical power.

As Zhang Yu began to use his breathing technique, his already incredibly violent magical power, stimulated by the drug, surged through his meridians like a giant dragon, seemingly emitting a series of howling sounds.

At the same time, the Qi Sea Spiritual Root, which had reached a 10% fusion rate, became thicker and more powerful under the stimulation of the medicine, frantically absorbing the spiritual energy around it.

The intense spiritual energy that had been floating in the air like colorful clouds suddenly surged toward Zhang Yu as if being drawn by a tornado.

"It's too concentrated... the spiritual energy is too abundant..."

Feeling the spiritual energy accumulating wildly in his meridians, as if it were jade liquid, Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh, feeling that he had made the right choice in this project.

After practicing the breathing technique for a while, the superior foundation-building mana technique also broke through and reached level 3.

At the same time, Zhang Yu waved his hand and unleashed streams of qi, riding the Formless Cloud Qi to sweep across the scene and begin cleaning up.

Although this method of working was less efficient, Zhang Yu didn't care about that in order to practice his breathing techniques while working, and was willing to earn less.

So for the next few days, Zhang Yu immersed himself in breathing exercises and work, spending most of his time at the construction site, enjoying the thrill of his magical power and breathing techniques constantly improving.

During his time at the construction site, Zhang Yu encountered Che Yufei and Shi Yunxiang.

According to these two senior students, cemetery projects are more like health-preserving projects than outdoor projects. They are not only much safer, but being immersed in the rich spiritual energy all day is also very beneficial to the body.

On this day, Zhang Yu and Shi Yunxiang walked together toward their respective assigned areas.

Just as the two reached a fork in the road, Shi Yunxiang said, "Zhang Yu, could you walk with me a little further? It's not far, just a few steps."

"Huh?" Zhang Yu looked at his classmate with a rugged face and a lion's head with a puzzled expression, and asked, "You...are afraid of cemeteries?"

"What's there to be afraid of in a cemetery? Would you be afraid in a funeral parlor?" Shi Yunxiang shook his head: "I'm afraid of people."

"Haven't you noticed... that many of my colleagues are eyeing me?"

Zhang Yu: "Huh?"

Shi Yunxiang sighed, "Every year, there are lone demons who get eaten, or even eaten by several people in turns. The cemetery area is a high-incidence area for these kinds of cases because it is sparsely populated. So I try to avoid going out alone."

“I can sense that there is no desire in your gaze.”

Zhang Yu pursed his lips. Although he was also very hungry and craving meat, he really had no interest in eating intelligent beings.

Zhang Yu asked, "Since you are a descendant of demons, why didn't you go to the Heavenly Demon University?"

Zhang Yu remembered that back then in Songyang City, almost all the top students from Hongta High School went on to Tianyao University.

Shi Yunxiang shook his head: "The majors at Tianyao University are assigned according to bloodline. I can only enter the reproductive department of Tianyao University. I don't like studying this, so I worked hard to get into Wanfa University."

As they were talking, Zhang Yu had already dropped Shi Yunxiang off at his workplace, and then walked back himself.

But on the way back, when they passed through a severely damaged area without internet or surveillance, Zhang Yu's gaze suddenly sharpened.

From the all-around perspective provided by his three-eyed divine power, he saw a figure dart out of the darkness, striking him like a black lightning bolt.
