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

Chapter 363 Zhang Yu's Weak Period (Thanks to 'Golden Gun Craftsman Rousseau' for the generous donation)
in the dormitory.

Le Mulan took out a bottle of black potion and said, "I brought you the potion."

She hesitated before asking, "But are you sure you want to use it?"

Zhang Yu took the medicine, looked at the faint cloud-like light and shadow appearing in the medicine, and said, "Don't worry, I can handle it."

Since Zhang Yu became Director Gao's disciple, he has been granted more drug exchange privileges, and a large number of drugs in the School of Pharmacy's laboratories have been made available to him at a discount.

However, while these laboratory drugs have amazing effects, they often have serious side effects, so Zhang Yu has been working with Le Mulan to screen them.

After several attempts, he chose the Heavenly Demon Mimicry Aerosol in front of him.

Looking at the medicine bottle in front of him, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "With the cultivation method in the state of unity of spirit and body, it is constantly running and tempering my Dao heart."

"My magical power is also constantly circulating under the passive breathing technique; all I need to remember is to consume spirit stones."

"Only physical strength... I am currently focusing most of my cultivation on advancing the techniques of the Martial Saint Body, and these techniques are all related to combat and construction, but they are not body-refining techniques."

"Although this process can improve physical strength to some extent, it is still too slow compared to body-refining techniques specifically designed for body tempering."

Zhang Yu felt the heat within his body and thought it would be a waste to eat the aphrodisiac meat without properly training his body.

"Then all my holding it in for nothing?"

He unscrewed the medicine bottle, opened his mouth and inhaled, and a cloud of mist surged out of the bottle, entering his body as if it were a living thing.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yu engaged in a period of endless Zen meditation.

After he finished his body tempering, he felt the Heavenly Demon Mimicry Aerosol transform into tiny hands, pounding and twisting all over his body, constantly wearing down his flesh, but also tempering his body.

This tempering also stimulated the fiery energy within Zhang Yu's body, nourishing his flesh and blood.

"This is the effect of the Heavenly Demon Mimicry Aerosol. It can simulate the effects of body-refining techniques and continue to maintain some of the training effects even after you stop training."

"But the downside is... once it starts, it will inevitably last for several days, which may lead to serious physical damage or even physical death."

However, Zhang Yu was confident that he could withstand it with his physical strength.

What truly prevented Zhang Yu from taking the medicine for an extended period was its price.

"Even after the discount, one bottle still costs about 0.9 spirit coins, which is damn expensive."

"I need to go make some money."

After testing the drug, Zhang Yu and Le Mulan left the dormitory together and saw Xuan Ge waiting outside.

Zhang Yu was somewhat familiar with this classmate of Le Mulan.

After all, the other party had locked the door for them many times, taken out the trash many times, and expressed their desire to live in the same dormitory with them several times, submitting their resumes for dormitory admission multiple times.

At this moment, Zhang Yu looked at the other person's chest and thought to himself, "The Blazing Sun Vein? Does this guy also have a Dao Seed?"

Zhang Yu sensed it and discovered that the Flaming Sun Dharma Vein was a type of magic power seed, just like Le Mulan's, and it also required improving the quality of magic power to open.

"150% mana quality?"

Xuan Ge, on the other side, felt slightly nervous under Zhang Yu's intense gaze.

The next moment, Zhang Yu suddenly said, "Xuan Ge, right? Let me give you some pointers."

After letting Le Mulan leave first, Zhang Yu led Xuan Ge into the dormitory.

Xuan Ge walked in excitedly, his mind racing: "Is it my turn? Is it finally my turn?"

He asked, "Would you like me to wash up?"

Zhang Yu frowned and asked, "What's there to wash?"

Just as Xuan Ge was thinking about how things were different from what was taught in the tutorial, Zhang Yu had already placed a palm on his back.

The next moment, two streams of magical power, one cold and one hot, collided within Xuan Ge's body.

Xuan Ge immediately felt a visible improvement in the quality of his magical power. The intense magical power within his body seemed to have been stimulated and began to circulate faster, with his breathing efficiency far exceeding that of the past.

At the same time, Zhang Yu's eyes twitched as he received a call from Bai Zhenzhen.

Bai Zhenzhen: "Yu Zi? What are you doing?"

Zhang Yu immediately turned the camera around and said frankly, "I'm preparing to sell my magic power."

He then took several more photos of Xuan Ge and said, "This is the trading partner."

"Are you relieved now?"

Bai Zhenzhen observed Xuan Ge for a moment, and after seeing that he was a man, she nodded in relief.

She knew that Zhang Yu had never had any talent in the art of dual cultivation, and the range of suitable partners for dual cultivation was also very narrow. Only female partners could elicit a reaction from Zhang Yu's body.

Bai Zhenzhen sighed inwardly, "Sigh, if you had the talent for dual cultivation, that would be fine; as your good brother, I'd be the first to support you. But if you don't have the talent and it's just a hobby... wouldn't that waste your cultivation time?"

Zhang Yu said, "Ah Zhen, don't worry, with my iron will, how could I not hold it in?"

Bai Zhenzhen said, "It's not that Mom doesn't trust you, it's just that I'm afraid you'll get distracted by playing around and neglect your studies."

"Then keep up the good work. I'll send you more meat in a few days." After hanging up, Zhang Yu continued to infuse Xuan Ge with his magic power for more than ten minutes.

After withdrawing his palm, Zhang Yu looked at the other party and said, "So? Do you want to buy some magic power?"

Xuan Ge thought to himself, "Ah? So they want to sell their magic power to me?"

Although he was somewhat disappointed, recalling the feeling of digesting the magic power just now, Xuan Ge thought to himself, "It seems to be the same cold magic power as Yue Mulan's."

"It is very beneficial to improve the quality of my magic and the efficiency of my breathing."

"And judging from his tone, he seems to want to bypass the platform and trade privately, right? That should be cheaper."

After some discussion, the two parties reached a private magic power transaction, with the latter agreeing to purchase 10000 units of magic power from Zhang Yu at a price of 1 spirit coin per month.

Watching Xuan Ge's departing figure, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "I wonder what the effects of this Blazing Sun Vein will be."

Regardless of the effects of this Blazing Sun Dharma Lineage, the fact that he can increase his income every month is a good thing for him.

……

Within the territory of Taiqing.

Zhang Yu's multiple consciousnesses were rapidly scanning four different screens.

The screen displays four courses: Magic Item Dynamics, Psionic Materials and Forming Technology, Magic Power Transmission and Conduction, and True Fire Processing Technology.

As the screen rapidly flipped through the pages, a large amount of text and graphics kept appearing in Zhang Yu's mind, which he forcibly memorized.

To further improve efficiency, Zhang Yu spent 0.06 spirit coins today to enhance his Mind Clarity Technique for two hours. This Taoist technique allows him to have a photographic memory for two hours.

With the 20x acceleration of thought in the Taiqing Realm, that's equivalent to 40 hours of photographic memory.

After further exploration of four layers of thinking, it is equivalent to Zhang Yu being able to perform 160 hours of rapid memorization.

So he spent 0.96 spirit coins to buy online course videos and textbooks. Instead of trying to understand them, he quickly browsed through them, trying to memorize all the knowledge in the course first, and then slowly learn and understand it in the future.

"This should further improve my learning efficiency."

In order to complete all the courses in the weapon crafting department over three years and pass the exams to smoothly transfer to another department, Zhang Yu also constantly adjusted his learning methods and improved his efficiency during the learning process.

However, there is one thing that can never be avoided: the cost of purchasing textbooks and online courses.

"The textbooks and online courses for the weapon crafting department are really expensive."

"The tuition for all courses this semester combined is probably more than ten times higher than that for the Civil Engineering department."

"There are also material costs, laboratory usage fees..."

Zhang Yu looked at the course content of the True Fire Processing Technology. In addition to the teaching of written knowledge, there was a lot of experimental part, which required purchasing materials and renting a refining laboratory.

……

On the construction site of the 667th floor.

Zhang Yu is currently practicing the fourth martial arts technique of the Sacred Body, following the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen, the Heaven-Turning Seal, and the Purple Heaven Net Style, called the Earth-Seizing Claw.

He unleashed a surge of qi in his palm, and an invisible suction force emanated from it, instantly lifting a cargo weighing over ten tons into the air.

"Unfortunately, there are too few cultivation techniques taught in the Civil Engineering courses that are suitable for the Martial Saint Body. I will have to buy the remaining techniques in the set myself to practice them."

While Zhang Yu was cultivating, humanoid qi flashed all around him, helping with various chores.

At the same time, guided by multiple ways of thinking, Zhang Yu also used martial arts such as the Heaven-Turning Seal, the Xuanhuang Mountain-Suppressing Seal, and the Purple Heaven Net Style when needed.

As Zhang Yu acquires more and more skills, he is able to do more and more work on the construction site.

Combined with his multitasking and the effects of the Formless Warrior, his income surged again in October, reaching its peak daily wage on that day.

After working overtime all night, not only did his cultivation improve and his savings increase, but Zhang Yu also felt that the heat in his body had been greatly relieved, and he felt completely comfortable.

Fu Ji remarked from the side, "Zhang Yu, your work and study efficiency have greatly improved since you quit pornography."

"I think you should continue after you've finished digesting the aphrodisiac."

Zhang Yu calmly said, "This kind of thing is dispensable to me anyway. I don't know what you and Azhen are always worried about."

"After abstaining from pornography for more than half a month, my resistance is now so strong that it's almost frightening to me."

"I have a feeling that in the future, during the top ten leagues, I might become Wanfa University's secret weapon against Hehuan University."

Walking back to his dorm, Zhang Yu's eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at the advertisement featuring beautiful women that appeared in front of him. He frowned and said, "I haven't searched for these things for over half a month. Is there something wrong with the big data?"

Fuki reminded her, "It's probably because they considered that you used to search a lot, but recently they've noticed that you haven't searched for those things for a long time and are in a period of psychological weakness where you're easily tempted, so they automatically put similar ads on you."

"Hang in there, Zhang Yu, don't be fooled by these ads."

Zhang Yu sneered: "A mere advertisement, you think you can distract me?"

But after walking another kilometer or so, as he watched the increasingly explicit advertisements, Zhang Yu's face grew redder and his steps became more hurried.

He said angrily, "That despicable big data not only took advantage of my weakness, but also specifically targeted my vulnerabilities."
