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

Chapter 417 Rapid Advancement, Foundation Establishment Limit, Snatching Food
On the magnetic channel.

A female student suddenly blocked Le Mulan's path, looking at her and saying, "Le Mulan! Please cultivate with me!"

Hearing the girl's sincere expression, many passersby looked over, curiously observing the girl and Le Mulan, each with their own thoughts.

"Ah, youth is wonderful, with so much free time to diligently cultivate oneself."

"Please don't agree! Everyone, please progress slowly so I have fewer competitors."

"Both of you are Foundation Establishment seniors, it would be great if you could take me with you..."

Le Mulan looked at the girl in front of her, shook her head slightly, and rejected her.

On her way back to her dorm, she encountered two more classmates. One wanted to take the medication with her, and the other wanted to conduct drug experiments, but Le Mulan resolutely refused both.

Watching Le Mulan walk into the luxurious dormitory, the rejected boy sighed, "So Le Mulan is that rich? No wonder she didn't want to do experiments with me."

Just then, another male voice came: "It's not that Le Mulan is rich, but that her dual cultivation partner Zhang Yu is very rich."

The boy turned around and saw Yu Xinghan walking up from behind him. He asked in surprise, "Who are you?"

Yu Xinghan said calmly, "I am Yu Xinghan from the Earth and Wood Department, and I have some knowledge of dual cultivation, health care, and wellness."

"From what I've observed, you're not the first student to want to cultivate with Le Mulan these past few days."

"You're all from the Department of Pharmacology, right? You know that Le Mulan possesses special magical powers and has become Professor Yin's apprentice, learning the technology of producing her own medicines. That's why you want to improve together with her, isn't it?"

The boy nodded slightly, looking at the civil engineering student with some surprise, as if the other person knew a lot.

Yu Xinghan smiled mysteriously and continued, "But do you know that compared to Le Mulan's dual cultivation partner, this is nothing?"

Seeing the other person's somewhat disbelieving expression, Yu Xinghan explained, "Le Mulan's dual cultivation partner, Zhang Yu, is an extraordinary person."

"It is rumored that a Nascent Soul disciple traveled thousands of miles from Heavenly Sword University just to cultivate with him."

"And Professor Yin from your Department of Pharmacology once spent a lot of money, a full 25 spirit coins, to buy his seeds."

"Besides Le Mulan, there is another classmate of yours, Xuan Ge, who has also made breakthroughs after receiving his guidance..."

Yu Xinghan exclaimed, "This man possesses extraordinary talent in dual cultivation. He may very well change the current situation where Wanfa University has no dual cultivation department and fill the gap in related fields in the future."

The boy's eyes flickered upon hearing this. He had indeed heard rumors that Professor Yin had made breakthroughs in related research, and that Le Mulan and Xuan Ge seemed to have been making progress.

Just then, Yu Xinghan said, "Do you want me to add you to the group? The group is full of people who want to join that dorm room, and we can share the latest news together."

The boy said without hesitation, "I'll go in!"

Upon entering the group, the boy saw that seven or eight people had already gathered and were sending out messages.

"I can't imagine how happy Le Mulan is right now in the dorm."

"Damn it, I'm so jealous of her!"

"He must have jumped on Zhang Yu as soon as he entered the room and started cultivating like crazy, fast on the road to immortality."

"Sigh, I don't expect to cultivate with Zhang Yu anymore. I'd be satisfied if I could just cultivate with Le Mulan."

"I'm satisfied with Xuan Ge."

“If I cultivate with Xuan Ge, it's like indirectly cultivating with a Nascent Soul disciple, even though we're separated by a few people…”

Yu Xinghan: Have you tried throwing money at Zhang Yu?

Yu Xinghan: Have you all forgotten? In Kunxu, there's nothing that money can't buy.
"The problem is we don't have the money."

"How could we possibly bribe someone as wealthy as Zhang Yu, who lives in a luxury dormitory, with our meager funds?"

Yu Xinghan: You guys name your price, and I'll try to find out more for you.
Yu Xinghan: No group buying

……

Inside the luxurious bedroom.

Zhang Yu and Le Mulan sat facing each other, their palms touching, each channeling the power of their respective Deep Cold and Fiery Sun Dharma Meridians into the other's body.

Although Zhang Yu had tried to use the Deep Cold Dharma Vein to help Xuan Ge, Xuan Ge did not truly activate the Blazing Sun Dharma Vein at that time, so the effect was limited.

Now that Zhang Yu has truly replicated the Dao Seed of the Flaming Sun Lineage, he has experienced tremendous changes while cultivating with Yue Mulan using its magical power.

The dual forces of ice and fire surged and intertwined within Zhang Yu and Le Mulan's bodies, constantly tempering their meridians and magical power, and silently increasing their speed of mobilizing and transforming magical power.

Especially under the impact of the two magical forces, Zhang Yu felt his magical power becoming more and more balanced, with yin and yang complementing each other, gradually generating an unprecedented resilience.

With this resilience, the strength of the qi he condensed reached a new level and is still quietly increasing.

The cultivation of magical power, magical quality, and magical manipulation was also accelerated in this process.

Unfortunately, Zhang Yu's mana had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage's maximum of 1000 units not long ago, and there was no way to increase it further in this basic statistic.

……

7 month.

Zhang Yu participated in a war fortress project. The project site was located at the border of two colleges, and as soon as Zhang Yu arrived there, he saw a large group of college students engaged in fierce fighting.

The reason Zhang Yu could recognize them as college students at a glance was mainly because they all had the words "college student" marked on their foreheads.

This is a revealing talisman set up on the battlefield by a master of talismans. It will directly display the school of all college students and junior college students. You need to pay money to hide it.

Zhang Yu, who witnessed the fierce battle, did not participate in it, since he only took the construction fee and did not collect the combat expenses.

But he still couldn't help but sigh, "Have colleges become so chaotic now?"

Upon seeing the screenshots he posted in the project group, Che Yufei replied: "Hasn't this always been the case for junior college graduates?"
However, when Zhang Yu had only built half of the fortress, a Foundation Establishment student at the 36th rank charged forward and attacked the unfinished fortress.

Zhang Yu said softly, "Wait until I repair the fortress before you charge. I won't stop you."

Zhang Yu's plan was to wait until he finished the construction before the other party destroyed it, so he could earn two profits.

The other party ignored them and hissed, "Get out of the way."

Zhang Yu sighed. The construction contract stipulated that he had to protect the construction site during the construction process.

"Sigh, more extra work."

With a loud bang, the Colonel, a Foundation Establishment student, had already broken the sound barrier repeatedly, accelerating closer and closer to the construction site.

But the next moment, there was a loud bang, and a hand was pressed against his face, stopping him.

Under immense resistance and inertia, the colonel's body trembled violently, and his flesh temporarily stiffened.

But his two magical hands were unleashed wildly, punching one after another, unleashing powerful bursts of qi that blasted towards Zhang Yu in front of him.

Zhang Yu's body was bombarded repeatedly, his face, shoulders, chest, waist and abdomen, and each impact point was accompanied by wisps of white mist.

Zhang Yu's body remained completely still, and even his head did not tilt backward at all despite the colonel's full-force attack.

After more than half a year of cultivation, Zhang Yu's physical strength has now reached level 20, reaching the limit of Foundation Establishment.

In addition to a physical strength of level 20, there is also the support of a skeleton of No. 20 dense steel, the enhancement of multiple protective techniques, the parrying and leverage abilities brought by the Martial Saint Body, the Nine Heavens Cloud Void Force enhanced by the Martial Saint Body, the protective aura, and some of the effects of the Earth and Wood Saint Body brought by the Azure Lotus Sword Embryo...

With Zhang Yu's repeated enhancements, the opponent's fist techniques, which combined hand techniques with body movements, appeared as gentle as a breeze to him.

The next moment, Zhang Yu pointed a finger, and a cloud of energy was generated at his fingertip, shooting towards the abdomen of the colonel in front of him.

boom!
Instantly, the colonel's twelve punches, which he had just unleashed with all his might, exploded within the cloud-like aura, blasting towards his own abdomen.

Under Zhang Yu's meticulous control, these 12 punches squeezed and messed up the opponent's internal organs.

Seeing the other person trembling violently and his throat gurgling, Zhang Yu sniffed the air and pointed the colonel at the outside.

The colonel opened his mouth and spat out large amounts of semi-digested rice, which filled the air.

Watching this scene, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "I heard that these schools provide plenty of food before a war, and it seems that it is true."

As the colonel vomited everywhere, the Qi Refining laborers nearby cheered and began scrambling to eat the semi-digested food.

Wow! It's rice!

"Is this what rice tastes like? It smells so good!"

"Fool, this is the taste of rice infused with the life-giving fluids of Foundation Establishment cultivators. It's incredibly nutritious, a top-quality cultivation resource. How could it not smell delicious?"

However, even the semi-digested products came from the mouth of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. For these Qi Refining laborers, even a small sip from each person would take a long time to digest.

Zhang Yu casually tossed the colonel onto the ground and went back to continue his cultivation.

……

8 month.

Inside the weapon forging laboratory.

Zhang Yu is refining a metallic cuboid.

The cuboid was only about the size of a person's thumb. Its surface shimmered with a faint light, revealing patches of bronze-colored magical circuits. It looked simple and unadorned, yet it carried a hint of mystery.

This is the Earth-Suppressing Seal that Zhang Yu has been practicing recently, a magical artifact that can generate an aura of suppression after being infused with magical power.

The so-called "earth-suppressing aura" can be used to level the earth and vibrate materials, and it can also create a deep-sea-like obstruction effect on everything within the aura, achieving the purpose of defense or control.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Although this Earth-Suppressing Seal is not included in the weapon-refining department's exam, it is very useful to me."

For this weapon forging trip, Zhang Yu asked Zhang Pianpian to anonymously purchase the materials so that he could secretly forge weapons without attracting attention.

After all, as he mastered more and more magical artifact manufacturing techniques, Zhang Yu did not intend to fully expose his artifact refining skills in the future. He would admit that he had refined some magical artifacts, while he would only say that he had found second-hand goods for others.

Several days later, after multiple refinements, the level 20 Earth-Suppressing Seal was finally completed and put into Zhang Yu's possession.

Looking at the new level 20 magic weapon he had just acquired, a smile appeared on Zhang Yu's lips.
