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

Chapter 351 The Seven Wonders of Earth and Wood and the Seven Wonders of the Corpse

Zhang Yu looked at Yu Xinghan beside him, his gaze sweeping over the other's Dao Seed.

Since the opponent's Three-Eyed Divine Power was upgraded to level 2, there have been new upgrade requirements.

To advance from level 2 to level 3, you need to reach a mana level of 1000, which is equivalent to reaching the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Go for it, Xinghan!"

"If you don't work hard in your cultivation, how can I earn more?"

Zhang Yu was really looking forward to the level 3 effect of the Three-Eyed Divine Power.

Although he wouldn't sponsor spirit coins, Zhang Yu could still help by giving Yu Xinghan more blood and infusing him with some magic power every day.

He only hoped that the other party would grow up well and upgrade the Three-Eyed Divine Power to level 3 as soon as possible.

Looking at Zhang Yu, Yu Xinghan couldn't help but think, "That Zhang Yu guy... I'm really fucking jealous."

He wished he could devour the bunker that Zhang Yu had built.

But the thought of the fortifications the other side had built, which he estimated he wouldn't even be able to digest, filled him with another wave of heartache.

"We were all doing just fine being poor, but now that you've stepped up... won't our brotherhood turn into a father-son relationship?"

After explaining the ingenuity of the bunker built by Zhang Yu, Tu Lishan told the examinees to leave first and go back to digest what they had learned that day.

However, Tu Lishan kept Zhang Yu behind, and said with a smile, "Director Gao wants to see you."

As the projection of the spirit world appeared, a figure dressed in an ancient-style Taoist robe with the four characters "Building a World" written on it, looking as if he had traveled from an ancient world, appeared in front of Zhang Yu. It was none other than Director Gao of the War Faction.

Director Gao looked at Zhang Yu in front of him and smiled slightly, saying, "You did very well on this exam. I have already seen the results from the backstage. You have surpassed Ji Yuanshu and have reached the top of the Foundation Establishment class. The ranking list will be updated tonight."

Although he knew that he would definitely outperform Ji Yuanshu in this final exam.

However, Zhang Yu is not entirely confident that he can surpass Ji Yuanshu in the overall ranking.

Upon hearing the information revealed by Director Gao, Zhang Yu felt a great weight lifted from his heart, followed by a surge of joy.

The struggles and efforts of the past year and three months, the scenes of working overtime and studying flashed before his eyes, and finally turned into a sense of ease and comfort.

"It's finally done."

Zhang Yu sighed inwardly and silently set an alarm to remind himself to take a screenshot of the rankings when they were updated that evening.

Director Gao continued, "In this exam, you not only achieved excellent results, but you also demonstrated the spirit of our Civil Engineering Department, using the most authentic and dedicated civil engineering skills to solidly secure first place."

"That's great, and I hope you can maintain that throughout your university career."

After saying that, Director Gao paused, something seemed to appear in his eyes, and then continued, "Have you been taking discounted medication from the School of Pharmacy?"

"I just told you that in the future, in addition to the drugs you already know about, the School of Pharmacy will also have access to laboratory drugs for you."

Zhang Yu's heart stirred. He knew that the discounted medicine he had bought from the Pharmacy Academy before... whether it was medicine to replenish physical strength and energy or medicine to unleash potential, they were all regular drugs on the market. Even if he didn't buy them from the Pharmacy Academy, he could buy them in pharmacies outside. It's just that the Pharmacy Academy would give him a discount.

So-called laboratory drugs are those that have not yet been officially launched on the market, are not sold in pharmacies, and are still in the laboratories of pharmacy schools.

Director Gao reminded him, "The laboratory drugs in the School of Pharmacy contain the cutting-edge technology of the School of Pharmacy and have many effects that conventional drugs cannot achieve, which can play a better role in promoting your cultivation."

"But you should also note that there are various reasons why these experimental drugs have failed to leave the laboratory."

"Many of them have serious side effects, so you should be careful when choosing them."

Zhang Yu clicked on the website for purchasing the medicine sent by Director Gao and first selected the medicines that could be taken during the Foundation Establishment stage.

After all, the physical differences between cultivators at different realms are enormous, and they can be considered to be different life forms.

What is a common medicine for Foundation Establishment stage practitioners might cause sudden death if taken by Qi Refining stage practitioners.

What is a great tonic for those in the Golden Core stage might be used as a weapon by those in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Therefore, Zhang Yu understood that the first step in examining medicines was to screen those suitable for a particular realm.

The next moment, a large number of laboratory drugs that could be taken by Foundation Establishment stage cultivators appeared in his eye sockets.

Spirit Beast Serum: Consuming it may awaken bloodline techniques, but it can also cause beastification, accompanied by intellectual decline, cognitive impairment, and other problems.

The Out-of-Body Pill allows one to gradually gain the ability to separate their Yin Spirit from their body after taking it, but it may cause the human and the spirit to separate, with the brain and the Yin Spirit becoming separate individuals, vying for control of the physical body.

The Yin-Yang Self-Harmony Injection, if continued for a month, will achieve the dual manifestation of Yin and Yang, enabling self-cultivation and greatly increasing the efficiency of mana refining. However, it is prone to causing side effects such as metabolic imbalance and organ rupture. A quick glance at the list of drugs was enough for Zhang Yu to grasp the formidable power of these so-called laboratory drugs.

Suppressing his curiosity and excitement, he temporarily closed the drug list and continued to listen to what Director Gao was saying.

Director Gao said, "You got first place in the Foundation Building Class this time, so you should also be eligible for a scholarship loan."

Zhang Yu immediately received another electronic contract from the Finance Department's Virtual Zero.

Zhang Yu remembered that this Xu Lingzi was a Golden Core cultivator whom Tu Lishan had taken him to meet in the Finance Department. It seemed that he had always been in charge of the loan matters in the Civil Engineering Department, and he was the one who issued the student loans every time.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Although the war faction and the peace faction in the Civil Engineering department don't get along, and the peace faction has allied with the Finance department, not everyone in the Finance department is at odds with the war faction in the Civil Engineering department, right? Is there also a faction within the Finance department?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu chuckled to himself, thinking, "What power doesn't have factions? Isn't that obvious?"

He looked at the electronic contract for the student loan, which was a total of 10 spirit coins, with monthly interest of 0.01 after the funds were received, and the principal to be repaid after ten years.

Zhang Yu was overjoyed after reading it, thinking to himself, "They've actually offered this kind of charity-like low-interest loan again. Now my savings can exceed 50 spirit coins."

Zhang Yu readily signed the electronic contract, while Director Gao continued, "At the end of last semester, I made a promise with you that if you could get first place in your freshman year, I would take you as my disciple."

"Since you have won first place today, I will accept you as my disciple as agreed."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu thought of the Magnetic Extreme True Lord who had secretly taken him as his disciple. However, at this moment, he could not say these things and could only respectfully nod in agreement.

Director Gao continued, "Since you are my disciple, your previous dormitory is no longer suitable."

"I'll upgrade it for you again. I've sent you the room key; please accept it yourself."

Zhang Yu glanced at the room information and was secretly delighted: "A luxurious dormitory of 30 square meters?"

"Not only does it have a dedicated spirit circuit, but it can also regulate the gravity in the room, and the room's air circulation system offers dozens of potions to choose from..."

"There are also shared weapon-refining rooms and alchemy rooms available on the same floor..."

Looking at the descriptions of the various facilities in the room, Zhang Yu thought about how his living conditions had improved with each move as his ranking rose, and he felt both happy and sentimental.

"In university, it is indeed grades and rankings that determine a student's treatment."

After handing over the key to the luxury dormitory, Director Gao's expression turned slightly serious as he spoke about something even more important.

"After you win first place in the academic year, the most important thing will be that you will be taught the first of the Seven Wonders of Civil Engineering - the Xuanhuang Zhenyue Seal".

"You should also know that the various techniques, skills, and knowledge you learned in your freshman year were mainly based on small-scale construction methods."

"But the most advanced, valuable, and profitable aspect of civil engineering is large-scale construction, which is what you will begin to learn in your second year."

"And the Seven Wonders of Civil Engineering represent the pinnacle of large-scale construction techniques."

Zhang Yu nodded slightly upon hearing this, recalling the first time he went to work on a construction site in the field.

Back then, the wealthy senior civil engineering students trained by Director Gao were all doing large-scale construction work on the construction site, such as breaking through mountains, changing the terrain, and digging tunnels...

Director Gao said, "The Xuanhuang Zhenyue Seal is the foundation of all large-scale construction capabilities. Only by mastering this technique can you achieve twice the results with half the effort in your future cultivation. I will personally teach you the key secrets in a couple of days..."

"Furthermore, now that you have become my disciple, I can recommend you in the future so that you are qualified to take the military civil engineering exam."

"If you can pass the military exam, you can participate in the department's seven civil engineering tests. Once you are recognized by the seven professors, you will not only be able to learn the seven great civil engineering skills, but also purchase the seven great skills artifacts."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but ask, "As long as we pass the Seven Civil Engineering Tests, we won't have to be number one every year, and we can directly learn the Seven Civil Engineering Masteries?"

Director Gao smiled slightly upon hearing this: "The seven civil engineering disciplines are extremely difficult. To pass any one of them, you would need to be at least a senior or fifth-year student."

"Besides, the seven arts of civil engineering are vast and profound. It takes at least a year to master any one of them. What's the use of learning it early?"

Director Gao reminded us: "The key to the seven civil engineering projects lies in the seven unique methods of construction."

"Each of the Dharma Bodies is matched with one of the Seven Ultimate Techniques, and can unleash the ultimate power of the technique."

Zhang Yu nodded slightly upon hearing this. He knew that many college students would implant matching magical artifacts to enhance the power of their expert-level techniques.

The Seven Absolute Techniques of Earth and Wood and the Seven Absolute Techniques of the Corpse are clearly such a complementary pairing, capable of elevating the original expert-level techniques to a level that surpasses the expert level and falls between the expert and military levels in terms of power.

Director Gao continued, "And if you really have the opportunity to obtain the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power in the future, and can use the Seven Absolute Body Technique to promote this divine skill, you will be able to unleash even greater divine power. Even if you encounter the top students of the three ace majors, you will not be afraid of your opponents at all."
