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

Chapter 403 Students of the Weapon Refining Department
Gongshu Jin followed behind Zhang Yu and Ye Xingli, and the three of them entered the restaurant where the party was being held.

As soon as he entered, the aroma of rice wafted into Gongshu Jin's nostrils. Looking at the buckets of rice on the table not far away, he couldn't help but marvel at Mo Shang Jin's wealth and generosity.

Zhang Yu, who was standing to the side, glanced at the dining table and also felt his stomach begin to grow unbearably hungry.

After all, he hadn't eaten in a long time, except for studying, working overtime and practicing meditation every day.

Just then, a young girl walked over.

The girl was only wearing a tank top and shorts, with a lot of her skin exposed.

However, obvious signs of splicing can be seen between the hands, feet, and joints.

Even in Zhang Yu's eyes, he could see a large number of deliberately projected structural lines on the other party's body, as well as the brands and models of various magical remains.

All of this seemed to be designed to highlight the Dharma body on her body, constantly telling others that her hands, her feet, and many parts of her body were not flesh and blood, but Dharma bodies.

Zhang Yu glanced at the ranking above the other person's head and thought to himself, "15th in the weapon crafting department?"

Furthermore, Zhang Yu discovered that all the magical artifacts on the other party's body came from the same brand.

Zhang Yu secretly wondered, "A loyal user of the Myriad Craftsmen Sect?"

As soon as the girl approached Ye Xingli, she smiled sweetly and said, "Senior!"

Ye Xingli, who was standing to the side, introduced, "This is Feng Tingting, my junior."

"Tingting, this is Zhang Yu from the Civil Engineering Department."

Feng Tingting turned to look at Zhang Yu and was slightly taken aback when she saw the number 95 in the Civil Engineering Department above Zhang Yu's head.

No... 95th in the Civil Engineering Department?
What unfamiliar and distant numbers these are! Feng Tingting remembers that the last time she had a conversation with a student of this caliber was several years ago.

If it weren't for the fact that Ye Xingli had introduced them, she would have kicked them out immediately.

Then, Feng Tingting glanced at Zhang Yu's body again and accurately collected the information about his physical body.

"The Time-Remnant Demon Eye, a model from three years ago, is currently estimated to cost 25.5 spirit coins after depreciation, but he only has one..."

She silently marked Zhang Yu's head with a value of 12.75, which represented the value of his Dharma Body.

Feng Tingting is an extreme legalist.

By quickly scanning the other person's magical remains and checking their prices, one can determine the value of their magical remains... This is one of the methods Feng Tingting uses to judge a person's importance, and it is also a common method used by many people in the weapon crafting system.

In Feng Tingting's view, this was normal and effective; otherwise, how could she quickly distinguish between upper-class people, lower-class people, and non-humans?

Feng Tingting firmly believes: "The future era will be the era of Dharma relics."

"The Dharma Body is a cultivator's true physical body."

"The so-called process of cultivating immortality is to constantly make money, constantly learn, constantly improve one's magical power, and gradually replace one's backward flesh and blood with an advanced magical body."

"The number of Dharma bodies on a cultivator's body represents his level of evolution in the path of immortality."

"In this era, someone who doesn't even have a single piece of Dharma body is considered disabled."

After marking Zhang Yu with an evolution level of 12.75, Feng Tingting looked at Gongshu Jin behind Zhang Yu.

"No ranking for the entire department?"

Feng Tingting looked at Ye Xingli beside her and asked, "Senior, is this your newly recruited soul cultivator? How come he's still alive?"

Ye Xingli shook her head and said, "Who would buy a living soul cultivator?"

"This is Gongshu Jin from the Civil Engineering Department. Don't be fooled by the fact that he doesn't have a department-wide ranking; it's because he's only a sophomore and his overall score is relatively low."

Upon hearing this, Gongshu Jin lowered his head in shame.

Since entering this gathering place, surrounded by students ranked highly in the entire department, he felt like a cockroach in the sewer, completely out of place.

Especially standing next to Ye Xingli and Feng Tingting, with their high-value magical remains contrasting with each other, Gongshu Jin felt incredibly ugly.

Upon hearing this, Feng Tingting nodded, marked Gongshu Jin's head with a number 151, and thought to herself, "Although there is no overall ranking, his evolution level is acceptable."

"However, his entire body... doesn't even have a single physical body of the Myriad Paths Craftsman Sect?"

Feng Tingting shook her head inwardly. In her opinion, if the Fahai brand didn't choose Wandao Jiangzong, then it was basically going in the wrong direction on the path of immortality.

After all, Wan Dao Jiang Zong, as a top-tier giant enterprise and a long-term partner of the Refining Department of Wan Fa University, has always been the most outstanding, cutting-edge, and ethereal enterprise in Feng Tingting's mind, representing the correct evolutionary direction of the path to immortality.

"Wan Dao Jiang Zong is the only Fa Hai enterprise that has truly mastered the core technology. Other companies like Tian Gong and Jingang Xuanzao are just relying on marketing."

After glancing at Zhang Yu and Gongshu Jin, Feng Tingting then looked at Ye Xingli beside her, and the "1???" above her head.

Looking at the four-figure price tag of the Dharma Body, Feng Tingting felt that Ye Xingli in front of her was so dazzling.

"After all, this body is worth over a thousand spirit coins, how could it not be beautiful?"

The three question marks following the number 1 are because Ye Xingli's Dharma Body has undergone self-modification, making it difficult for Feng Tingting to accurately estimate its price.

In Feng Tingting's eyes, this was not only unparalleled beauty but also carried a hint of mystery, making Ye Xingli's body even more breathtakingly alluring. Besides Feng Tingting, other students from the weapon-refining department soon walked into the hall.

Students ranked in the weapon crafting department flocked to Ye Xingli like moths to a flame.

Upon seeing Ye Xingli for the first time, the first thing these weapon-refining students did was take photos.

Their eyes were like measuring tools, meticulously measuring the changes in Ye Xingli's body, as if examining a work of art, recording the differences between Ye Xingli's body and the one they had seen before.

The changes in various parameters were recorded, which they considered important data.

As the 8th ranked student in the weapon crafting department, almost all the students with higher overall scores than Ye Xingli were in the top ten.

Ye Xingli can be said to represent the top level of weapon crafting among the students of the weapon crafting department.

Her body served as an excellent example for students in the weapon crafting department to observe and learn from.

Immediately afterwards, a series of messages were exchanged between these weapon-refining students and Ye Xingli.

Refining Department Student A: [0.1 Spirit Coins Transfer] Senior, is my project recommendation letter okay?
Refining Department Student B: [0.1 Spirit Coins Transfer] Senior Sister Ye, I want to join Professor Wang's project team. Do you know if you have any ideas?

Refining Department Student C: [0.1 Spirit Coins Transfer] Senior Xing Li, have the seniors decided on the group assignments for next year's Refining Competition?
Some people looked at Feng Tingting and asked, "[0.05 spirit coins transfer] Senior Feng, do you have any second-hand Dharma Bodies from Senior Xingli?"
Feng Tingting: No, I'll let you know when we have the goods.

As a role model for many weapon crafting students, the second-hand magic skeletons that Ye Xingli used, tempered, and adjusted are naturally sought after by many weapon crafting students.

As for Zhang Yu and Gongshu Jin standing to the side, they were subconsciously ignored by the students of the weapon crafting department.

Seeing that the two sides were staring at each other without saying a word, yet seemingly having engaged in endless communication, Zhang Yu knew that these people from the weapon-refining department were having a private chat.

Zhang Yu felt he couldn't get a word in edgewise, so he rubbed his stomach and prepared to go eat.

"Senior Ye, I'm going to get something to eat first."

After greeting Ye Xingli, Zhang Yu turned and walked towards the dining table.

When Gongshu Jin saw Zhang Yu turn and leave, he quickly followed. He always felt very uncomfortable in front of these students who had the best rankings in the department.

Just then, a commotion broke out.

"There are rules at the dinner table. The first dish must be swallowed in one bite. This is a sign of respect for everyone."

"That's right, the dining culture passed down from our ancestors cannot be allowed to end with us!"

Zhang Yu and Gongshu Jin looked up and saw a group of civil engineering students eating together at the dining table.

Watching the senior students devour plate after plate of rice dumplings, Gongshu Jin gasped in shock, thinking that the appetites of these senior civil engineering students were terrifying.

"A person's appetite represents the strength of their digestive ability, and the strength of their digestive ability represents their financial resources and physical strength, which is a manifestation of their potential for immortality."

Gongshu Jin understood that sharing meals was a way for individuals to showcase their potential in the path of immortality.

"Was I ever pressured to share meals with others in the past?"

Gongshu Jin glanced at the senior who was getting a massage and taking drugs on the other side and felt that the other side was more suitable for him.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he noticed a familiar figure beside the senior students getting massages.

"That's... Yu Xinghan?"

Watching Yu Xinghan introducing the masseuses to the senior students, Gongshu Jin thought to himself, "Has Yu Xinghan joined his mentor's massage platform and even become a manager?"

At the same time, Zhang Yu walked towards the dining table with a smile on his face.

Upon seeing Zhang Yu, a senior student grabbed him and said, "You must be Zhang Yu! You made it into the top seven in the department competition this time, that's impressive!"

"Come on, bring one!"

Seeing Zhang Yu quickly finish three plates of rice and dumplings without showing any signs of illness, the senior students from the Civil Engineering Department all exclaimed in admiration.

Not far away, Su Yanyang looked up and glanced at Zhang Yu, but didn't say a word. He silently clinked his rice bowl with Ma Xuan's and each finished a bowl.

Compared to Zhang Yu, Su Yanyang was more concerned about Xiao Yunji and another senior civil engineering student named Ping Han.

"The military civil engineering certificate exam usually only admits one person at a time."

"Xiao Yunji and Ping Han should be my biggest rivals in the military certification exam next October."

As for Zhang Yu... although he beat him in this competition, Su Yanyang judged that Zhang Yu's individual strength was definitely inferior to his own, and Zhang Yu would not be able to perform well in next year's military certificate exam.

"Zhang Yu is probably preparing to take the military certification exam three years from now."

"Three years later... that's too late for me."

Su Yanyang thought to himself, "Next year will be my best opportunity."

"But only by defeating Xiao Yunji and Ping Han can I obtain my military license."
