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

Chapter 418 Weapon Forging Examination (Thanks to 'aghfh' for the generous donation)
In the dormitory.

Le Mulan reminded, "Wait, I haven't squeezed it all out yet."

Zhang Yu said, "That's about enough."

Le Mulan: "No, every single drop is money, we have to squeeze it all out."

Zhang Yu asked, "Is it alright now?"

Le Mulan said, "I'll try to squeeze in again."

As Le Mulan exerted a little force, a few more streams of blood shot from her fingertips and flowed into Zhang Yu's mouth.

Le Mulan nodded: "The medicine should be ready by now. How are you feeling?"

Zhang Yu pursed his lips and said, "Not bad, the medicinal properties feel milder than before."

Since Le Mulan began learning the technology of self-producing drugs, she has started producing drugs within her own body.

From then on, Le Mulan's blood, sweat, saliva, and even magic power gradually took on a trace of newly produced medicinal power.

Especially after Zhang Yu cultivated together with Le Mulan's Deep Cold Dharma Meridian, the medicinal power contained in Le Mulan's body underwent various miraculous changes.

During this time, Le Mulan began experimenting with the generation of various medicines within her body.

With his strong physique and drug tolerance, Zhang Yu became the best experimental subject for Le Mulan.

Of course, Zhang Yu also certainly didn't lose out, since Le Mulan spent a lot of money buying raw materials every time she made medicine, and most of the final product ended up in his stomach.

Just as Zhang Yu was testing the medicine, a message from Yu Xinghan appeared in his mind's eye.

Yu Xinghan: Someone offered 3 spirit coins, let's cultivate together.

Yu Xinghan: Are you going to answer or not?

Zhang Yu had to admit that he felt a momentary flutter of excitement when he heard the number 3 spirit coins.

But that initial spark was quickly replaced by anger.

"Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu, how did you get mutated by Kunxu and become like this?"

Not everything can be sold for money.

Zhang Yu: Don't ask, I won't sell it for any amount of spirit coins.
Yu Xinghan: I understand, at least 50 spirit coins, right?
Zhang Yu: You son of a bitch, can't you even understand human language? I wouldn't sell it for any amount of spirit coins.

Yu Xinghan truly couldn't understand, because he couldn't imagine what could be so expensive that no amount of spirit coins would sell it. Did such a thing even exist in this world?

Looking at the group chat, Yu Xinghan decided to first promote the massage services offered by her platform.

……

On the construction site of the 668th floor.

With the completion of the 667th floor construction site, the entire Wanfa University City has now reached the 668th floor.

Zhang Yu's Earth-Suppressing Seal floated in mid-air, releasing an invisible aura.

Wherever the energy field passed, large areas of the ground were shaken and leveled.

The sand and dust that had been rising into the sky were also condensed layer by layer by the invisible aura, as if frozen in mid-air.

At the same time, Mo Tianyi's voice came from the Earth-Suppressing Seal: What a powerful magic weapon!

Mo Tianyi: Zhang Yu, you're really rich now. You can even afford a level 20 magic weapon?
Zhang Yu smiled faintly: "It's alright."

"How's it going? Can you keep it under control?"

Mo Tianyi: No problem.

Mo Tianyi: Zhang Yu, don't worry. You've given me the chance to be your artifact spirit. Even if I have to sacrifice my own Spirit Realm Calculation Pool, I won't let you down.

Zhang Yu said, "No, no, no need to risk your life. How can we make money if we risk our lives?"

Mo Tianyi: You're right. We soul cultivators are already at our wits' end; the more we fight, the more we lose.

At the same time, the Azure Cloud Pouch floated in mid-air, injecting Azure Sand into the Formless Warrior.

Zhao Tianxing thought to himself, "Did Zhang Yu hand over the level 20 Earth-Suppressing Seal to Lao Mo to operate?"

"As expected, in Zhang Yu's heart, I am still a halfway novice, not as good as a true soul cultivator, right?"

Zhao Tianxing, who had become the spirit of the Azure Cloud-Gathering Pouch, was initially very excited and proud.

But now, after seeing Mo Tianyi's level 20 Earth-Suppressing Seal, I suddenly felt that my Azure Cloud-Gathering Pouch looked rather ugly.

Just then, Zhang Yu reached out and threw out the level 20 Earthly Fiend Bottle.

"Old Zhao, you should try this."

Zhao Tianxing said happily: Okay!

With a gentle twitch, the Earthly Fiend Bottle sucked in the sand and dust, then refined it all into concrete, which was poured into the target location.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "With Lao Zhao and Lao Mo acting as the spirits of the Earth-Suppressing Bottle and the Earth-Suppressing Seal, I can safely control the Taiyi Golden Liquid Pill and the Formless Warrior. At most, I can also slightly control the Azure Cloud-Gathering Pouch."

With the final exams of his sophomore year approaching, Zhang Yu's mind was elsewhere, because he was absolutely confident in his ability to pass them and had no reason to worry.

"If I continue to rank first in the class in the final exam, I will be able to cultivate the third of the Seven Wonders of Earth and Wood and master the Lesser Three Harmonies."

"The military certification exam will be held in October."

"With my current skills and knowledge, will mastering the three basic skills be enough to obtain a military license?"

Zhang Yu turned to look at Yu Shu. Now a junior in college, he was quite powerful. In terms of basic stats alone, apart from having a physical strength of level 20 and 1000 units of mana, he had reached the limit of Foundation Establishment.

His Dao Heart has already reached level 19 (55.3%), and he will definitely reach level 20 before the military certificate exam.

In addition, the quality of his magical power has been steadily increasing, now reaching a full 195%, just 5% away from the Foundation Establishment limit. His Qi conduction rate has also reached 99%, and the maximum distance of Qi conduction has reached 100 meters, both of which have reached the Foundation Establishment limit.

In addition to the basic data, there is also Zhang Yu's unique progress, which belongs to the progress of the Azure Lotus Sword Embryo.

"The bonus of the Azure Lotus Sword Embryo to the Chain Magic Diagram Set lies in the subtle adjustments and is related to the time I usually spend using various sets."

Through Zhang Yu's own repeated testing, he had his own estimate of the data regarding the Azure Lotus Sword Embryo's ability to retain the chain diagram effect under normal conditions.

"I used the University Holy Body and Civil Engineering Holy Body the most in the first half of this year, and the Azure Lotus Sword Embryo can now retain nearly 9% of its effects."

"Although the Martial Saint Body was the last to be completed, it has been used quite a bit in the past few months, and the Azure Lotus Sword Embryo can now retain 5% of its effects."

"The Qi Meridian Flow can only be used when mana is restored, and the duration of use should be the shortest. The Azure Lotus Sword Embryo can only retain 4% of the effect."

Zhang Yu clenched his fist, looking at the ever-changing, unpredictable cloud formations gathering and dispersing in his palm, and thought to himself, "I am very strong now."

Having confirmed his strength once again, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "I must get the military certificate."

His confidence grew stronger and more solid with each improvement and confirmation of his strength.

However, the first test Zhang Yu faced was not a final exam, nor was it related to military certification, but rather the weapon-refining test by the Magnet Pole True Lord.

……

Inside the weapon forging laboratory.

Ye Xingli was grading Zhang Yu's exam paper.

The exam papers were the final exam papers for all subjects of the third year of the weapon crafting department. After being taken out by Magnetism True Monarch, they were given to Zhang Yu to do and Ye Xingli to grade.

The more Ye Xingli criticized, the more surprised she became.

"Zhang Yu is studying in the Civil Engineering department while also taking the first three years of courses in the Weapon Forging department?"

"Does Master intend for him to change his major in his third year?"

"This..." Ye Xingli seemed to have already seen a series of bleak future scenarios: "Director Gao is going crazy."

Thinking of this, Ye Xingli couldn't help but hope that Zhang Yu's test score would be lower.

But things didn't go as planned. The more Ye Xingli reviewed the papers, the more she realized that Zhang Yu's mastery of the first three years of the weapon-refining department's courses had surpassed that of most third-year students.

"They must have spent a lot of money on spirit realm acceleration, as well as Daoist techniques for spirit division and memory enhancement..."

Ye Xingli thought to herself, "Then the rest depends on our practical skills."

She understood that theory was theory and technique was technique, and what the weapon-refining department valued most was the students' actual weapon-refining skills.

The final exams for the third year naturally included topics such as material extraction, rune etching, and magic weapon crafting.

This laboratory has been booked by Magnetism Lord for the entire night, and Ye Xingli will supervise Zhang Yu as he completes the final exam content one by one.

She watched as Zhang Yu skillfully refined the materials, expertly throwing each batch of raw materials into the true fire furnace and infusing them with magical power to control the true fire within.

Watching Zhang Yu lead several formless warriors around the refined materials, constructing magic circuits from various angles, showcasing wave after wave of meticulous operations.

The more Ye Xingli looked, the more amazed she became.

"It's only been a little over half a year since I last saw Zhang Yu refining weapons, right?"

"He has improved so much?"

"This guy's talent for weapon crafting... is actually much stronger than I expected?"

The final exam involves choosing one of many magical artifacts or magical remains to refine.

The materials were originally supposed to be prepared by the students themselves.

However, this time, Magnetism True Monarch took the initiative to provide the materials and handed them over to Zhang Yu for refining.

The magic weapon to be crafted was naturally agreed upon by both parties long ago, and Zhang Yu had recently mastered the relevant crafting techniques.

Looking at the materials he had received, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "The Magnetism True Lord is truly generous."

Ye Xingli thought to herself, "Sigh, Master really values ​​Zhang Yu."

When Ye Xingli watched Zhang Yu successfully refine the materials into the level 20 magic weapon, the Golden Jade Disc, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "Master's vision is still flawless."

"I never realized that Zhang Yu was such a genius at weapon crafting."

"If he switches to the weapon crafting department in the future, it will probably not be difficult for him to enter the top 10 of the entire department in time."

Zhang Yu looked at the gold-inlaid jade disc he had created and asked, "Then what is this jade disc...?"

Ye Xingli said calmly, "Master will pay you 3 spirit coins for processing."

Zhang Yu was slightly disappointed, but he thought it was already quite good that they were willing to pay for the processing, since the other party was covering the material and site costs.

……

Magnetism True Lord: Didn't you say that your disciple's physical strength was level 20, and the Yin-Yang Bracelet was no longer useful?
True Lord of Magnetic Pole: Golden Jade Disc.image file
Director Gao: You want to sell me? I'm a little short on funds lately.

Magnet Lord: I'll sell it to you at the material price.
Magnetism True Lord: Who made us friends for so many years?

Director Gao: Magnetic pole, you're so kind.
……

in the dormitory.

Looking at the gold-embroidered jade disc that Director Gao had given him, Zhang Yu asked uncertainly, "This is... the one I made?"

"Is this the reward that Magnet Lord was talking about, the reward he'd give me if I passed my sophomore year final exams?"

Fu Ji said, "Zhang Yu, Magnetism True Monarch is indeed worthy of being from the weapon crafting department. Director Gao, from the civil engineering department, just can't beat her."
