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

Chapter 361 Heaven-Turning Seal, Weapon Refining Class

Seeing that the Wuxiang Warrior in front of him had unleashed a dragon-shaped burst of energy at him in a single move, Xiao Qingxuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

"My Nine Dragons Heavenly Palm?"

Xiao Qingxuan's first reaction was that Zhang Yu also knew this martial art.

But the next moment, as the qi collided with the qi, feeling the surging and powerful palm force approaching, and hearing the dragon's roar soaring into the sky beside his ears, Xiao Qingxuan was shocked: "This is my palm force!"

"He deflected my palm strike back?"

With a deafening roar.

As gusts of wind burst forth from the point of impact, Xiao Qingxuan's protective aura dissipated slightly, but it quickly replenished and surged again.

Looking at his footprints where he had taken a slight step back, Xiao Qingxuan nodded and said, "You were actually able to borrow the power of my palm strike and then counterattack."

"Your technique of using an opponent's force against them... if I'm not mistaken, it should be the Nine Heavens Cloud Void Force, right?"

"To have mastered this technique and cultivated it to such a level, it's true that your first-year exams limited your score, since there are no related courses or exams for first-year students in the Civil Engineering department."

At this moment, Xiao Qingxuan looked at Zhang Yu with no more contempt and said with certainty, "I acknowledge your strength. With this skill of using the opponent's force against them, plus your strong physique, you are more than capable of playing the defensive position."

Che Yufei and Shi Yunxiang, who were standing to the side, exchanged a glance with surprise upon seeing Zhang Yu's performance.

Shi Yunxiang privately messaged: "Zhang Yu has improved a lot since we last met."
Che Yufei: They're growing faster than the wrinkles on my face, and there's hardly any sign of aging yet.
At this point, Che Yufei couldn't help but envy Zhang Yu's terrifying physique, which allowed him to consume all sorts of potent drugs like food.

Shi Huaiyu, standing to the side, said, "Senior Xiao, I told you Junior Zhang was amazing, didn't I?"

"Let's assign our positions first."

Che Yufei and Shi Yunxiang were assigned to construction positions within the competition team due to their extensive project construction experience.

Zhang Yu and Tian Yang were responsible for the defensive positions to protect the construction project, while Shi Huaiyu and Xiao Qingxuan, being the strongest, were responsible for the confrontation positions to face off against the opponent.

Although both involved combat, Zhang Yu and Tian Yang's main objective was to protect the building, while Shi Huaiyu and Xiao Qingxuan's main objective was to fight against their opponents.

After discussing their respective areas of responsibility, Shi Huaiyu continued, "I've sent the specific competition materials, rules, and some videos from previous years' competitions to the group chat."

"Everyone go back and review the research, prepare your assigned tasks, and we'll begin our first training session next week."

"Feel free to ask me anything you don't understand."

After everything was agreed upon, the six people present left. After all, as students of Wanfa University, they were all very busy and never had a moment to spare.

On the way back, Zhang Yu received a notification in his bank account that the scholarship of 3 spirit coins for first place in the first academic year had been deposited into his account.

Unlike the student loan that Director Gao helped him apply for, this scholarship of 3 spirit coins does not need to be repaid.

Looking at his account balance exceeding 9.4 spirit coins, Zhang Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief, feeling much less tense after lending out 50 spirit coins.

"However, there are still many other places where money needs to be spent."

"To continue making money, to continue learning, to continue cultivating oneself..."

"After all, I am someone who is going to enter the top ten sects, and I also made an appointment with A-Zhen to participate in the top ten leagues."

Thinking of this, a fierce fighting spirit ignited in Zhang Yu's eyes.

With the competition teams confirmed, Zhang Yu's days became even busier.

Civil engineering courses, weapon crafting courses, his own cultivation, daily part-time jobs to earn money, competition preparations... there were just too many things weighing on his shoulders.

Time flew by during Zhang Yu's busy, fulfilling, and stressful days.

……

Inside the training ground.

A teacher said to the civil engineering students in front of him, "Large-scale construction projects have many different directions, and each related skill requires a lot of time, energy, and patience to practice and accumulate."

"The school does not require every student to learn all the majors, but by graduation, they must be proficient in at least two major construction techniques."

"My course covers the filling and compaction work for large-scale construction projects such as highways, tunnels, dams, and large stadiums. The representative technique is the 'Heaven-Turning Seal'..."

As the other party explained, Zhang Yu memorized the power operation and fighting techniques of the Heaven-Turning Seal, and they appeared in his book.

Heaven-Turning Seal Level 0 (0/1)

Seeing that the set to which the Heaven-Turning Seal belonged was the Martial Saint Body, Zhang Yu smiled slightly and thought to himself, "Fortunately, the large-scale construction courses are all self-selected in terms of direction for further study."

"When I saw the description of this Heaven-Turning Seal in the Grand Library, it was part of the Martial Saint Body set. Today, after trying it, I can confirm that it is true."

"Judging from the content of this technique, the Heaven-Turning Seal was originally created for combat and slaughter, but now, with the progress of the times..."

Zhang Yu watched the teacher's figure ahead, and heard the teacher say, "...Remember, when using the 'Heaven-Turning Roller' to compact a soft roadbed, you should first compact it once or twice without vibration, and then compact it with vibration..."

"When activating the Heaven-Turning Seal, we also need to consider the different types of soil, such as sandy, semi-clay, and clayey soils..."

As Zhang Yu left the training ground, he received a notification to pay for his spiritual realm data usage.

He pursed his lips and silently transferred the money to pay.

As his spirit coins dwindled due to expenses such as rent for various magical artifacts, purchase costs of spirit stones, and loan interest, his spirit coins continued to decrease.

……

Within the territory of Taiqing.

Zhang Pianpian's body was surrounded by talismans that flowed like a waterfall, dazzling Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu was completely baffled by his sister's learning and practice of talismans. He only knew that she was spending increasingly more time in the Taiqing Realm every day. Every day when he entered, she was studying talismans, and when he left, she was still studying talismans.

"I'm really addicted! Are talismans really that fun?"

Shaking his head, Zhang Yu continued his studies.

He activated the talisman his sister had given him and began extracting the prepared study materials from the eye fragments.

But the next moment, he suddenly froze: "Where did my study materials go?!"

Just then, Zhang Pianpian, without even looking up, suddenly said, "You don't practice dual cultivation, so downloading so many videos of Hehuan Sect's internet celebrities is a waste of time. Bringing them into Taiqing Realm is a waste of space. I've already deleted them all for you."

Zhang Yu retorted angrily, "Sis! Did you see my study materials?"

He slammed his fist on the ground and roared, "I was preparing with the students of the Hehuan Sect as my hypothetical enemies. What if I encounter them in the Top Ten Leagues in the future? How can I be unprepared?"

Zhang Pianpian pursed her lips and said, "I recommend you get sterilized directly; it's more cost-effective."

Zhang Yu abruptly changed the subject, saying, "The path to immortality is a choice made by oneself, and we should respect the choices of every cultivator! Please don't do this again, okay? And my browsing history too, could you please stop looking at it from now on?"

Zhang Pianpian explained, "I'm afraid someone is monitoring you or stealing your information, so I often do checks for you."

"After all, you know nothing about talismans, so walking in the spirit world is like being naked."

Zhang Yu said helplessly, "Then at least pretend you didn't see it in the future, okay?"

Zhang Pianpian nodded: "I understand."

With a few quick taps of her fingertips, a talisman flashed and disappeared.

"I've restored your study materials for you, you can continue reading... Oh no, I don't know anything about them."

Looking at his sister, who had lowered her head and continued to study the talismans, Zhang Yu took a deep breath and thought to himself, "In the Broken Kun Ruins, it's hard to have any privacy at all."

Shaking his head, Zhang Yu cleared his mind of distractions. The next moment, multiple thought processes activated, and he began studying the basics of magic weapon engineering, principles, design, and rune engraving.

These courses contain a large amount of knowledge about weapon crafting, not cultivation techniques. Zhang Yu's Feather Book cannot be accelerated, so he can only learn it step by step, chapter by chapter.

However, with the 20x time acceleration and the parallel learning of multiple thinking, a large amount of knowledge kept pouring into Zhang Yu's mind, allowing him to gradually understand the weapon refining process, which he originally knew nothing about.

However, since the textbooks and online videos all belonged to the weapon crafting department, even after a 8% discount, the four courses still cost Zhang Yu nearly 1 spirit coin.

……

In the practice room.

With a loud bang, as Zhang Yu stomped his foot on the ground, a black-gold aura was injected into the gravel beneath his feet.

Then he blew a strong breath, and the pebbles on the ground shot into the sky like a goose feather, slowly falling like snowflakes.

Director Gao nodded slightly and said, "Not bad. To be able to push the Xuanhuang Zhenyue Seal to level 3 in such a short time, you have some of my style back in the day."

"Keep working hard, don't be complacent or slack off. You are still a long way from the true top level of the Civil Engineering Department."

Zhang Yu glanced at the Xuanhuang Zhenyue Seal, which had reached level 10 on the Yu Shu, and nodded repeatedly, saying, "I understand, Master."

Once the Xuanhuang Zhenyue Seal reaches level 10, the condensed Xuanhuang Qi can already exist outside the body.

Zhang Yu had tried it in private, and now he could use the Xuanhuang Qi to attack outside his body, or use the Wuxiang Warrior or the Shenhan Warrior to activate the Xuanhuang Qi.

After Zhang Yu left, Director Gao's previously expressionless face broke into a smile, as if he were as excited as he was years ago when he bought a winning stock, and then he wanted to find someone to show off.

However, Zhang Yu has not yet truly matured, and exposing himself too early could easily cause trouble.

Thinking about it...

"Sigh, Magnet, don't blame me. We've been friends for years. You used to brag to me quite a bit about your magical artifacts, flying boats, mounts, cave dwellings, and bank accounts..."

So Director Gao took pictures of the scattered rocks and sent them to Magnet True Lord.

Director Gao: Image
Director Gao: Zhang Yu's Xuanhuang Zhenyue Seal is already at level 3.
Magnet Lord: !
Magnet Lord: Really? So fast? [Surprised]
Seeing the other party's response, Director Gao took a deep breath, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

Who says our civil engineering has no outstanding talents?

……

On the construction site of the 667th floor.

As Zhang Yu slammed his palm into the sky, a surge of energy shot upwards.

The next moment, as Zhang Yu pressed down with his palm, the qi pressed down as if the sky were collapsing and the earth were sinking.

As the atmosphere was compressed by the powerful energy, it seemed to become as heavy as lead and mercury, and finally crashed to the ground like a huge square seal.

With a deafening roar, the undulating ground was instantly flattened and compacted.

Zhang Yu nodded slightly as he watched this scene, thinking to himself, "Although my Heaven-Turning Seal has been pushed to level 10, I can only work at level 3 for now. What a pity."

With the Heaven-Turning Seal reaching level 10, its range of influence has been increased. Now, when Zhang Yu uses it at full power, he can crush dozens of square meters of ground in one go.

"Although I can only use level 3, fortunately I can switch back to Qi Meridian Flow when I recover, so my mana recovery speed is fast enough that I can cast the Heaven-Turning Seal for a long time in one night..."

Before he knew it, Zhang Yu had earned his first large-scale construction wage.

Over the next few days, Zhang Yu practiced the Heaven-Turning Seal while working every night.
