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

Chapter 355 The Bond Between Siblings

Faced with Zhang Pianpian's question, Zhang Yu glanced at the Dao Seed on her chest, then at Yu Xinghan who was chatting enthusiastically with Li Xiao, and privately messaged her: "It's alright, senior. I don't need this money for the time being, you can take it."
Zhang Pianpian felt a pang of emotion. She had only helped this younger brother because she saw that he had a lot of talent and it was just a spur-of-the-moment attempt.

Little did he know that the other party would rise rapidly and now not only study at the University of Ten Thousand Laws with him, but also lend him so many spirit coins.

Especially the reply from the other party at this moment.

"What do you not need? Take it and use it..." This is utterly inhuman. Is this something a normal person would say?

But for some reason, when Zhang Pianpian heard these crazy words, she felt a feeling she had never experienced before.

Zhang Pianpian nodded slightly, looked at Zhang Yu seriously, and sent a message: "Alright, lend me 25 spirit coins. I'll pay you back in six months at the earliest, and a year at the latest."

Zhang Yu: Is 25 spirit coins enough? Or should I lend you 50?

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Over the past few months, through several tests and casual conversations, the requirement of 50 spirit coins for the Dao Seed has remained unchanged."

"It seems that 50 spirit coins are indeed required."

Zhang Yu had always felt deeply about his sister's strength.

Especially after arriving at Wanfa University, they first saw the other party modify the spiritual energy consumption data of the dormitory, and then saw the other party shut down the network, hijack the surveillance, and manipulate other people's Dharma remains in the underground cemetery.

Considering the cost of 50 spirit coins for the Taiqing Talisman, Zhang Yu believed that Zhang Pianpian's Dao Seed must be extremely powerful.

"Fine... Taiqing Talisman! Open it for me!"

Meanwhile, Zhang Pianpian, on the other side, was slightly taken aback when she saw the message sent by Zhang Yu, and a moment of hesitation flashed through her mind.

For her, 50 spirit coins were naturally better than 25 spirit coins, but the other party only had 56 spirit coins in total, and borrowing so much at once...

Just as Zhang Pianpian was still pondering this, she discovered that Zhang Yu had already transferred 50 spirit coins to her.

Zhang Pianpian: Are you crazy?

Zhang Pianpian: Who borrows money and transfers this much directly?
The way Zhang Pianpian looked at Zhang Yu was as if she were looking at a fool.

After all, what else would it be but a fool to borrow money like this in Kunxu?
Money is so important. With money comes potential, strength, a future, and even life.

Borrowing money, especially 50 spirit coins at once, is like lending your life; it's like lending your potential to someone else.

Since Zhang Yu had decided to lend 50 spirit coins to Zhang Pianpian to activate her Dao Seed, he didn't intend to drag things out and waste any more time.

"Since we're going to borrow it anyway, we might as well just do it readily."

So he replied: Senior, please accept it.

Zhang Yu: I know you're short of money.

Zhang Yu: Besides, you becoming stronger is good for me too, you can protect me better now.
Looking at Zhang Yu in front of her, and thinking about how her younger brother had lent her the 50 spirit coins he had painstakingly saved, Zhang Pianpian felt an unprecedented surge of emotion in her chest.

Zhang Pianpian had witnessed thousands upon thousands of spirit coins, but at this moment, she felt that no matter how much money there was... it couldn't compare to the 50 spirit coins Zhang Yu was giving her.

Is this the bond of family?

Silently accepting the 50 spirit coins transferred by Zhang Yu, Zhang Pianpian felt as if a warm current was flowing from the other person's body into her own.

That is the other person's potential for immortality, their life, their future.

And now... the other party has injected these precious things into his body.

“Brother, I have sensed your potential, and I understand your intentions.”

"I will make good use of all of this..."

Just as Zhang Yu saw that the other party had accepted 50 spirit coins, he received an electronic contract from them.

Upon seeing the contents of the contract, Zhang Yu was slightly surprised: "A repayment contract? Starting next month, I'll get 5 spirit coins back every month? For a total of 12 installments?"

Zhang Pianpian: I've accepted the money. Right now, the more money the better.
Zhang Pianpian: Please sign this contract.

Zhang Pianpian: You lend me money, and I'll pay you interest; that's the only way to honor our friendship.
Zhang Pianpian thought to herself, "You're willing to lend me money, and I'm willing to pay you interest. That's what true family is. This repayment agreement is the bond between us siblings."

Zhang Yu was unaware of the entanglements in Zhang Pianpian's heart, but since Zhang Pianpian insisted, he signed the contract.

As the contract was completed, Zhang Pianpian felt that the bond between her and Zhang Yu had deepened.

Zhang Yu, on the other hand, observed Zhang Pianpian with curiosity, wanting to see how the Dao Seed called Taiqing Talisman was activated.

But all he saw was Zhang Pianpian closing her eyes, her consciousness seemingly heading into the depths of the spirit world.

A moment later, when Zhang Pianpian opened her eyes again, silently... the Dao Seed was completely ignited.

Taiqing Talisman (Spell) Level 1

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Did it work?"

Just then, Yu Xinghan pulled Zhang Yu aside and said, "Let's go, what are you still standing there for? Let's go to class."

"I can't be late for the first class of my sophomore year."

Without having time to fully appreciate the effects of the Taiqing Talisman (spell) Level 1, Zhang Yu had no choice but to head to the classroom with Yu Xinghan and Li Xiao.

……

Inside the classroom.

When Zhang Yu walked in, he noticed that the middle seat in the first row was empty. Ying Xin was waving at him and saying, "Senior Brother, over here!"

Seeing Ying Xin's enthusiastic demeanor, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "As expected of a sixth-generation civil engineer, she adapts very quickly. It's truly a family tradition."

Zhang Yu sat down with Yu Xinghan on his left.

Just as Li Xiao was about to sit to Zhang Yu's right, Ying Xin pushed him out.

Ying Xin glanced at Li Xiao and said, "I have something to say to my senior brother. Please sit down first."

Sitting to Zhang Yu's right, Ying Xin took out a box of energy potions and handed it to Zhang Yu: "Senior Brother, I went to your dormitory last night to look for you, but you didn't seem to be there."

"So I thought I'd just bring the things to you in the classroom."

Zhang Yu took the medicine box and didn't think much of it when he saw that it was an energy potion, but he was shocked when he opened the bottle and saw the white powder inside.

"Wheat flour?!"

"You brought this thing to the classroom for me?"

But the next moment, he realized: "Wait, could this be the family heirloom ashes that Yingxin mentioned? Why is it so white?"

Fuki said, "This shows that the ashes are of very high quality, the burning technique was skillful, and they may contain some metallic substances. Moreover, the person who was burned was at least at the Foundation Establishment stage."

Knowing that the medicine bottle contained not wheat flour but ashes, Zhang Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Fu Ji commented, "Ying Xin, did she deliberately hide it in a medicine bottle to prevent others from seeing it? She has quite a talent for civil engineering."

Watching Zhang Yu open the bottle, Ying Xin added, "This belongs to my great-grandfather. By sprinkling a little bit into the concrete using a blood sacrifice method, the strength of the building can be greatly increased."

"Senior Brother, you'll definitely be participating in this year's civil engineering competition, right? You can use this then."

Zhang Yu looked at Ying Xin, weighed the medicine bottle in his hand to feel its weight, and smiled slightly, saying, "Little Ying, I appreciate your kindness."

Ying Xin smiled slightly, thinking that since Zhang Yu had become Director Gao's disciple, as long as she got on Zhang Yu's side, she would also get on Director Gao's side.

She thought to herself, "Great-grandfather, now that you're in Zhang Yu's hands, you must bless me so that I can rise above others under Director Gao and become a top person on the construction site."

Just then, the teacher entered the classroom.

The other person walked up to the podium and said directly, "My name is Wei Huai, and I am your teacher for this engineering geology class."

"Starting from the second year, civil engineering students are required to learn the techniques of large-scale construction."

"To successfully execute such techniques and maximize their power, one must have an understanding of the terrain and a keen insight into the geological environment..."

Sitting in the classroom, Zhang Yu tried to use his Boundless Mind Inner Dharma Body to multitask, listening to the teacher's explanation in class while opening the Dao Seed Manual of Yu Shu and beginning to carefully feel the effects of the Dao Seed Taiqing Talisman.

"Upgrading to the second level actually requires giving my sister 100 spirit coins?!"

"My sister's talent is really expensive."

As Zhang Yu carefully sensed the surroundings, more information came from the Dao Seed.

"The Taiqing Talisman has only one specific effect... that is, it can open up a spirit realm cave through the spirit realm?"

Feeling this, Zhang Yu was itching to go deep into the Spirit Realm and see what this Spirit Realm cave was like and what effects it had.

However, remembering his sister's warning, he knew it was best not to use the Boundless Heart Inner Body technique, a dark cultivation method, once he entered the spirit world.

Without practicing this dark technique, he couldn't multitask, listening to the lecture while trying out the effects of the Dao Seed.

"You can't skip class."

"I'll try it again when I have time."

Listening to the lectures, Zhang Yu gradually gained a general understanding of the relationship between various large-scale construction methods and different types of terrain.

Zhang Yu then focused on his classes all day until he returned to his dormitory, at which point he stopped the operation of the Boundless Mind Dharma Body and put on the Spiritual Interface Shield.

The next moment, as he activated the power of the Taiqing Talisman, he felt his consciousness rapidly traversing the spirit world, with countless colorful things flashing past him.

When Zhang Yu came to his senses, he found himself in front of a Taoist temple surrounded by clouds and mountains.

Looking at the three large characters at the entrance of the Taoist temple, Zhang Yu murmured, "Taiqing Realm?"

He entered the Taoist temple and found that the place was not large, with only one main hall. Zhang Pianpian was sitting cross-legged in the hall, with an extremely tall but indistinct statue in front of her.

Just as Zhang Yu strode over, Zhang Pianpian suddenly turned her head and looked at Zhang Yu outside the hall in surprise.

But the next moment, a murderous glint appeared in her eyes, and she thought to herself, "Zhang Yu couldn't possibly be here."

"Dare to impersonate my brother and infiltrate the Taiqing Realm?"

She formed a hand seal, and the heavens and earth trembled.

Zhang Yu felt a powerful force strike his body, and the next moment his body felt as if it were about to be torn to pieces.

Under Zhang Yu's incredulous gaze, his identity account, browsing history, bank account, transaction records, and other information flowed out of his body, floating in the surrounding air like pieces of garbage.

Looking at this information, Zhang Pianpian was slightly shocked: "Zhang Yu? Is it really you?"

How did you get to Taiqing Realm?
