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

Chapter 416 Magnetic Avatar
The moment the Earthly Fiend Bottle was completed, Zhang Yu's face paled slightly, and he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Zhang Yu shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself, "Was I still injured during the process of processing the earth's evil energy?"

He understood that this was partly due to a lack of cultivation and experience in dealing with earthly evil energy, and partly due to the rudimentary equipment in the laboratory.

Although Zhang Yu was careful enough, he still managed to get a few wisps of earthly evil energy into his body.

However, this was within Zhang Yu's expectations.

"Fortunately, I was cautious enough, and I can get through this level of infection after a few days of rest."

"The rental fee saved from the advanced laboratory can be used to practice our weapon-refining skills in the simulation laboratory in the spirit world these few days."

For the next two days, apart from attending classes, Zhang Yu spent most of his time staying in his dormitory, practicing weapon crafting in a simulated spirit world.

……

On this day, Ye Xingli arrived at the dormitory door and knocked on Zhang Yu's door.

Zhang Yu looked at Ye Xingli outside the door and asked in surprise, "Senior Ye? Is there something you need?"

Ye Xingli looked at Zhang Yu with a strange expression, and after stepping into the dormitory, she quickly closed the dormitory door.

Previously, Magnetism True Lord had asked her to guide Zhang Yu in weapon forging, and also asked her to record Zhang Yu's performance in the laboratory, and even take photos... She was already full of doubts.

Thinking about what she had done today, Ye Xingli was filled with even more confusion.

She took out a round bead from her bosom. The bead shimmered with seven colors, and inside it seemed as if there were nebulae flowing, sometimes clear and sometimes hazy, full of mystery.

Zhang Yu asked in confusion, "Senior, what's this?"

The next moment, the voice of the Magnetic True Lord came from the orb: "It is me."

Immediately afterwards, the entire dormitory seemed to shake violently.

But Zhang Yu soon discovered that it wasn't the dormitory in the real world that was trembling, but the spirit world that his eyes could see.

As if a thunderous roar was heard, a phantom image of a pagoda appeared as if it had shattered space and materialized in the dormitory. It was none other than the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Pagoda, a level 40 magic weapon of the Magnet Pole True Lord.

With the arrival of the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Tower, all matter in this small dormitory that is intertwined with the spirit world, whether it be eye remains or magical artifacts, will temporarily have all information transmitted and received by the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Tower.

Immediately afterwards, a flash of light appeared, and a phantom emerged from the bead in Ye Xingli's hand, appearing in front of Zhang Yu.

Looking at the slender figure in the palace attire before him, feeling the noble aura emanating from her, her head held high, and the arrogance in her eyes... Zhang Yu said somewhat uncertainly, "Are you the Magnetism True Lord?"

"Yes and no." The illusory figure in front of me said calmly, "This is an avatar that I condensed using the Mysterious Female Heavenly Pearl. It cannot be considered my true self, but it is enough to represent my will."

This was Zhang Yu's first time meeting Magnetism True Lord face-to-face, and he asked somewhat nervously, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Magnet Lord Zhenjun said calmly, "You bought a batch of materials that were contaminated with Earthly Fiend Qi before, and then rested for two days. Were you infected by Earthly Fiend Qi?"

Zhang Yu was startled upon hearing this, not expecting that True Monarch Magnetism would pay so much attention to him. He nodded slightly and said, "Yes."

Magnetism True Lord said, "You may think that you have a strong physique and can withstand it."

"But the earthly evil energy is like a carbuncle clinging to the bone. If it is not handled properly, it may have a long-term impact on the physical body and affect the overall quality of the physical body."

At this point, Magnetism True Monarch smiled slightly and looked at Ye Xingli behind him, saying, "Xingli, you go out and keep watch first, don't let anyone interfere with me."

"I understand." Ye Xingli glanced at Magnetism True Monarch with a complicated expression, then at Zhang Yu, and finally silently withdrew.

After Ye Xingli left, Magnetism True Monarch suddenly approached Zhang Yu and began to examine him from head to toe.

Zhang Yu said nervously, "True Lord, I feel that the Earthly Fiend Qi shouldn't have that much of an effect on me."

Magnetism True Lord grabbed Zhang Yu's wrist and said domineeringly, "Let me examine you first."

Zhang Yu then felt an incomparably powerful magical force surge into his body, sweeping through his limbs and all thirty-six meridians in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, Zhang Yu had put away all the Dao Seeds and Chain Law Diagrams early on, and he believed that Magnetism True Monarch should not have noticed anything unusual.

The next moment, Zhang Yu felt a pain in his chest, and a stream of black energy surged out from his seven orifices, gradually dissipating into the air.

Magnetism True Monarch looked at Zhang Yu with some surprise and said, "I have already forced out the remaining Earthly Fiend Qi for you. However, your physique is indeed strong. Even without my help today, you would have recovered in no time."

After saying that, Magnetism True Monarch's fingertips swept over Zhang Yu's arms, shoulders, chest... as if he were checking something. Finally, he said with appreciation, "Your physical body cultivation is quite good. Many senior students' bodies, which have been tempered and refined over thousands of years, are far inferior to yours."

Zhang Yu nodded slightly, feeling as if he were being constantly scrutinized by the other party.

Magnetism True Monarch said calmly, "Relax. Are you this nervous in front of Director Gao?"

Zhang Yu said helplessly, "No... it's not quite the same."

Magnetism True Lord: "What's the difference? If you insist on saying there's a difference, it's that after you and I established a master-disciple relationship, Old Gao only accepted you as a nominal disciple."

As he spoke, Magnetism True Monarch patted Zhang Yu's head again, comforting him, "Don't worry, I used the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Tower to suppress this spiritual realm, so no one will know that I came here today."

Zhang Yu couldn't help but say, "True Lord... I think it would be better if we used the spirit world network to communicate. Director Gao is a good teacher, and it's not appropriate for us to do it this way."

Compared to Director Gao, Magnetism True Lord's methods were obviously much more powerful, and Zhang Yu really didn't want to be examined by him all the time.

Magnetism True Monarch chuckled dismissively and casually said, "Let's not talk about Old Gao."

"There are three more months until the end of my sophomore year."

"Today I will test how well you have learned the courses in the weapon crafting department."

...At the same time, Ye Xingli, who was guarding outside the door, was filled with countless questions: "Why did Master come to find Zhang Yu?"

"And they have to be so secretive, making me cover for them?"

"Judging from what you just said, is it about Zhang Yu being infected by the Earthly Fiend Qi?"

"Did Master come specifically to treat the Earthly Fiend Qi in Zhang Yu's body?"

Thinking of this, more questions welled up in Ye Xingli's mind: "But... is it really necessary to do it personally? Someone else could handle it, unless..."

"Did Master come in secret because he didn't want people to know that Zhang Yu was tainted by the Earthly Fiend Qi, or that Zhang Yu was refining weapons?"

"Is it really Director Gao who wants to train Zhang Yu in weapon crafting? Or...?"

As the guesses surfaced in her mind, a conflicted look gradually appeared on Ye Xingli's face.

She even thought of incidents where teachers fought over students, eventually leading to physical altercations and a series of financial losses.

"No way?"

“Master and Director Gao have a friendship spanning hundreds of years. According to the thinking of people back then, they shouldn’t have done such a thing.”

Ye Xingli nodded repeatedly, saying to herself in her heart, "Master must be doing this for Director Gao."

"They must have come here to take care of Director Gao's apprentice."

Half an hour later, seeing that Magnetism True Monarch still hadn't come out, Ye Xingli wanted to send a message to ask, but was worried that she would disturb her master.

How much longer?

Just then, a voice rang out: "Xing Li?"

Ye Xingli suddenly looked up and saw Mo Shangjin walking towards her from a distance, looking at her curiously and saying, "What are you doing here?"

Knowing that Mo Shangjin was also a resident on this floor, Ye Xingli quickly explained, "I'm here to see Zhang Yu."

Mo Shangjin smiled slightly: "Looking for Zhang Yu? It just so happens that I also need to explain the next project to him. Let's go in together."

But as Mo Shangjin took a step forward, he saw that Ye Xingli was still blocking his way.

Mo Shangjin asked in confusion, "Hmm? Xingli, what's this?"

Ye Xingli smiled awkwardly and said, "I... I just finished talking to him. He still has some things to do, so let's not bother him for now."

At the same time, Ye Xingli quickly sent a message to Magnetism True Lord.

Ye Xingli: Master, Mo Shangjin is outside the door.

Magnet Lord: Don't let him bother me.

Ye Xingli smiled bitterly to herself, and looking at Mo Shangjin in front of her, she could only start chatting with him.

At first, Mo Shangjin was quite happy to be chatting with Ye Xingli.

He had always wanted to get along well with Ye Xingli, a top student in the weapon crafting department. Putting aside everything else, he could save a lot of money by maintaining his physical body through her.

But after being talked to for more than ten minutes, Mo Shangjin gradually sensed that something was wrong. He thought to himself, "Ye Xingli... why does it feel like she's just making conversation? What exactly does she want?"

Five minutes later, just as Mo Shangjin was starting to feel increasingly strange, the dormitory door behind him finally opened.

Zhang Yu looked at the two of them and said, "Senior Mo, Senior Ye, what are you doing here?"

Just as Mo Shangjin went to meet her, the Xuanpin Heavenly Pearl transformed into a light and shadow that was indistinguishable to the naked eye, and silently slipped into Ye Xingli's arms.

Ye Xingli said goodbye and left quickly, while subtly sending a message: Master, Zhang Yu is, after all, Director Gao's disciple.

Magnet Lord: Xing Li, when did you become so talkative?

Ye Xingli immediately deleted the words she was typing.

Magnet Lord: Just pretend you didn't see anything today.

Ye Xingli: [Shut up face]
Ye Xingli sighed inwardly, "Sigh, what is it about Zhang Yu that makes him so charming?"

Inside the dormitory on the other side.

After Mo Shangjin left, Fu Ji sighed and said, "Zhang Yu, have you thought about what you'll do after Director Gao finds out?"

Recalling the satisfied expression on Magnetism True Monarch's face before he left, Zhang Yu slowly said, "My mastery of the weapon-refining course has basically been recognized by Magnetism True Monarch."

"Next, I'll take the weapon crafting department's exam during the final exams."

Magnetism True Lord has already said that he will make separate arrangements for Zhang Yu, so he is not too worried.

Zhang Yu sighed, "The Magnet Pole True Monarch said he would secretly grant me an identity in the Weapon Forging Department, without making it public for the time being, so I can continue to stay in the Civil Engineering Department for a few more years."

"Sigh, let's keep it a secret for as long as we can."

"Director Gao is very good to me, and I don't want to have a conflict with him."

Fu Ji thought to herself, "Was that for Director Gao? You were trying to take advantage of the Seven Wonders of Earth and Wood, and the power of the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Force."
