What’s the point of cultivating immortality if you don’t have money?.
Chapter 336 Taiqing Talisman
Chapter 336 Taiqing Talisman
The underground cemetery serves as a large-scale magical energy production base, with a large number of corpses coming and going every day.
As the corpses age and become unusable during the process of generating magical power, how to deal with them has become an important issue.
Zhang Pianpian said, "Those with some residual value are used to buy blind boxes or flow into the market as second-hand organs. This is one source."
"Many items that are completely broken and have no further value are often turned into ashes and sold as waste."
"Ashes are used in the making of certain magical remains, the casting of certain Taoist spells, or the setting up of formations."
"Some people buy it to supplement calcium, because it's more cost-effective than buying medicine..."
Zhang Pianpian picked up the flour bricks on the ground and said, "Perfect, we'll use this flour as ashes to transport them out."
A moment later, Yu Xinghan and Le Mulan stayed behind to tidy up and arrange the scene under Zhang Pianpian's guidance.
Zhang Yu then carried a large box of flour on his back, preparing to leave the underground hideout.
Before leaving, Zhang Yu looked at the video of a man that appeared in his eyes, and his muscles rippled all over his body, gradually transforming into the man's appearance.
This is the disguise Zhang Pianpian chose for him: a worker who frequently transports ashes at Huilongyuan.
Changing his image was not difficult for Zhang Yu.
As early as his first year of high school, he was already able to skillfully change his appearance by controlling his muscles.
Later, after receiving specialized training from Master Xinghuo, he was even able to transform himself into the target's image in an instant.
At the same time, Zhang Pianpian had already cast a spell on him again.
Concealment Talisman – Activate!
The concealment talisman Zhang Pianpian was using at this moment was clearly much more powerful than the one she used on the first level.
Her hand slowly swept over Zhang Yu's body. The data displayed on Zhang Yu in the eyes of others, whether it was the title above his head or the related information and evaluations, had all changed to that of a transport worker.
Zhang Pianpian continued, "This invisibility talisman can last for about 10 minutes, so hurry up and go."
Zhang Yu left the hideout carrying a large box of flour on his back, feeling a bit nervous, much more so than during the battle with the gang members.
He took a deep breath and focused his attention on the Mind-Body-Body-Soothing Mantra of the Remnant Ox in his mind. Accompanied by the roars of the white ox, he gradually eliminated the tension in his heart.
When they arrived at the main gate without incident, a security guard stopped Zhang Yu and asked, "What are you carrying on your back?"
Zhang Yu turned his head and looked over. His gaze suddenly sharpened slightly as he realized that the speaker was none other than Sheng Jie from Xiandu.
The last time I ran into him was at the construction site on the top floor.
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Is he on duty here?"
Although somewhat surprised, Zhang Yu maintained a calm demeanor and said, "Ashes."
As a cemetery security guard, Shengjie exuded a subtle air of authority when he looked at the workers transporting ashes. He arrogantly asked, "What are they going to do with these ashes?"
Zhang Yu said casually, "It's sold to people to supplement calcium."
Shengjie nodded: "Open it and let me see."
So Zhang Yu placed the box in front of him, opened it, and put it in front of Shengjie.
"Is it really ashes?" Shengjie frowned and said, "Could it be smuggled flour?"
As he spoke, he grabbed a handful of powder from the box and said, "I have to try it."
Zhang Yu paused slightly, then watched as Shengjie grabbed a handful and swallowed it in one gulp.
As he tasted it, he licked his lips, then suddenly frowned and said, "This tastes like... a pig demon?"
The next moment, Shengjie laughed and said, "You're quite the shopaholic."
"Go ahead."
Zhang Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief, and the words Zhang Pianpian had said before taking action flashed through his mind.
"According to the intelligence I've gathered, it's common for the security guards at the cemetery entrance to extort money and bribes; they even taste the ashes as they pass by."
Zhang Yu thought to himself that it was fortunate that Zhang Pianpian had prepared the ashes in advance and covered them on the upper level, just to deal with these security guards.
After leaving Huilongyuan, the journey continued smoothly.
Guided by Zhang Pianpian, Zhang Yu arrived at a room on the 45th floor and put down the box full of flour.
Looking at the empty room, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Did my sister secretly find this room?"
Next, Zhang Yu returned to the secret passage in the cemetery and successfully reunited with Zhang Pianpian and the other two.
By this point, the matter was more than half completed. Zhang Pianpian explained, "Although the flour has been shipped out, it's impossible to convert it into cash immediately."
"Once things calm down, I'll find a way to ship the goods as soon as possible."
"But finding a buyer and money laundering steps will take a lot of time overall."
"It may take two to three months for the money to reach you."
Yu Xinghan and Le Mulan both expressed their understanding and were looking forward to the day the money would arrive in their accounts.
Seeing their excited expressions, Zhang Pianpian reminded them, "Remember, this matter must never be known to outsiders."
"So you must control your mindset from now on, and don't get carried away. Don't even talk about this in private."
"Also, avoid making any large, unplanned purchases for now. Save where you can. In short, do things the same way you did before."
"Just pretend nothing happened."
Following Zhang Pianpian's initiative to contact them, the patrol team quickly arrived at the scene. The officer in charge, seeing the flour bricks scattered on the ground and the large area of wheat growing inside the greenhouse, immediately beamed with joy and began praising Zhang Pianpian.
Zhang Yu, Yu Xinghan, and Le Mulan, as well as enthusiastic citizens who acted bravely and righteously, were also taken back for questioning.
However, with Zhang Pianpian's help, the matter was handled very cleanly. In addition, the patrol team was eager to close the case and claim credit, so the three were released quickly after being praised.
Before they left, the patrol team told the three of them that they would each receive a bonus of 1 spirit coin, which would be deposited into their accounts in a few days.
After the three of them returned to their dormitory, they gradually relaxed.
They looked at each other, and then burst into laughter.
Yu Xinghan thought to himself, "90 spirit coins! Damn it... I'd have to save for years without eating or drinking to earn that much!"
"Although it has to be split among four people, it's still a huge sum of money."
"Indeed, no one can get rich without unexpected wealth."
Le Mulan thought to herself, "With this money, I should be able to get a good ranking when I transfer to the Foundation Establishment class next semester."
Zhang Yu, meanwhile, was already browsing the website displaying his eye fragments: "What should I spend my spirit coins on next?"
Thanks to Wang Yin's previous financial assistance, Zhang Yu's savings had increased dramatically, and he now had more than 26 spirit coins left.
If you factor in the cost of flour in two or three months, your disposable income could reach 40 spirit coins, or even more than 50 spirit coins.
But thinking about this, Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, even a business that could cost you your life can't compare to the quick money from fraud, let alone the money in the hands of a rich second-generation like Wang Yin."
After a long night of hard work, Zhang Yu missed Boss Wang even more, and the easy work of live streaming.
Even if the poor break the law, they still won't earn as much as the rich who do legally.
Upon hearing Zhang Yu's sentiments, Fu Ji replied matter-of-factly, "Nonsense! How could such a low-end job as robbery compare to fraud? Selling flour is far less profitable than fraud. Otherwise, why would gangs be doing it? Fraud is the shortcut to immortality. Once you help me find more colleagues and recover more strength, I'll take you on a fraud scheme and trick a few rich people. Then you'll know what it means to make money."
"As for this time, if it weren't for the fact that it was really easy and Zhang Pianpian was protecting you, I definitely wouldn't recommend that you make this money."
Zhang Yu shook his head, feeling that Fu Ji was deceiving him. He suppressed his thoughts and continued to ponder the uses of the spirit coins.
With such a huge sum of money in the future, Zhang Yu immediately started to come up with many ideas that he never dared to think of before.
For example, the "Spirit and Body Unity Journey" at Hammerheart Abode claims to be a guaranteed success for 30 spirit coins, with a money-back guarantee if it doesn't work out.
This is a higher level of mental cultivation, which means that even when consciousness is lost, a sliver of light in the sea of consciousness can still be kept burning, thus maintaining the operation of the mental cultivation method.
It is also a prerequisite for operating the second mental technique after the Dao Heart level reaches level 15.
"According to Teacher Feng Jiu, to achieve the unity of spirit and body, one must constantly cultivate diligently and hone it little by little."
"Besides that, there's the journey of spiritual and physical unity at Hammerheart Abode."
Zhang Yu's current Dao Heart level is getting closer and closer to level 15. He originally thought that he could only rely on his own hard work to gradually achieve the unity of spirit and body before he could cultivate the second Dao Heart Method.
This process may take a very long time, since many Foundation Establishment cultivators, even up to level 20 of Dao Heart, have not yet achieved the unity of spirit and body.
"If it can be solved with spirit coins, then it's definitely faster to solve it with spirit coins."
However, since it was a huge expense of over 30 spirit coins, and Zhang Yu's savings hadn't yet reached 30 spirit coins, he decided to try cultivating the unity of spirit and body.
"If I still haven't broken through the unity of spirit and body after the spirit coins arrive, I'll go to Hammer Heart Residence."
After a moment of excitement, the three people in the dormitory quickly suppressed their emotions.
They all remembered Zhang Pianpian's reminder and were determined not to become complacent.
For the rest of the night, none of the three went to work or worked overtime; they simply stayed in their dormitory and quietly practiced their spiritual discipline.
By the time the next day arrived, after a night of cultivation, the three of them had all changed their mood, and their faces no longer showed any excitement.
When Zhang Pianpian returned to the dormitory, Zhang Yu's eyes lit up as he looked at her chest.
Zhang Pianpian looked at Zhang Yu and exclaimed, "Thanks to your careful observation at the construction site this time. With this achievement, plus my previous preparations, I estimate I'll be promoted to deputy team leader next month."
“You may not understand, but this matter is really important to me.”
Zhang Yu smiled slightly: "Senior, you've helped me so much, I'm really happy that I can help you too."
While speaking, Zhang Yu focused more on the Dao Seed that had appeared on Zhang Pianpian's chest.
During his time with Zhang Pianpian, he could occasionally sense the Dao Seed within her body, but each time it was fleeting, appearing and disappearing, and the sensation was not real.
Zhang Yu could only barely make out that Zhang Pianpian's Dao Seed was called the Taiqing Talisman, but he had no idea how to activate it or what its purpose was.
At this moment, whether it was because of this operation, the long time they had spent together, or a deeper understanding of his sister... in any case, when Zhang Yu looked at her, it was as if he were looking at Yu Xinghan and Le Mulan, and he was able to truly and continuously sense the Dao Seed within Zhang Pianpian's body.
When Zhang Yu focused his attention on this seed, he sensed a profound and indescribable feeling, or rather, information, emanating from it.
As the sensing time increased, more and more information accumulated, eventually converging into something Zhang Yu could understand.
"To activate this Taiqing Talisman... it requires 50 spirit coins?"
Zhang Yu stared blankly at Zhang Pianpian, thinking to himself that this request was both difficult and simple. It was incredibly simple for the rich, but incredibly difficult for the poor.
Noticing Zhang Yu's blank stare, Zhang Pianpian asked in confusion, "Is there something you need?"
Zhang Yu asked, "Sister... Senior, are you short of money?"
