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

Chapter 423 The Wonderful Uses of the Minor Triad
Inside a simulated construction site.

Director Gao sat cross-legged in mid-air, his black Taoist robe fluttering in the wind, the four large characters "Building the World" on his chest shimmering with a faint glow.

He looked at Zhang Yu with approval and said, "You performed very well in both your studies and work during your sophomore year."

"Especially his performance on several business trips, which was neither ostentatious nor lackluster, yet he handled them all very well."

Zhang Yu said, "It's all thanks to you, teacher, that I had the opportunity."

Director Gao continued, "Opportunities are earned. Back then, Wanfa University was in dire need of development. If I hadn't seized the opportunity to become a teacher, I might still be working on construction sites."

"Of course, there's nothing wrong with construction sites, but university is much more open and expansive for me."

Zhang Yu nodded slightly and continued to listen attentively to Director Gao's teachings.

Director Gao continued, "Sometimes I think, on this path of immortality, how much money do you have to earn to be enough? It's never enough, Zhang Yu, you'll never have enough spirit coins."

"You are still young, and you have only just reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Your current achievements are just the beginning."

"Stay calm and keep making money steadily. At least earn another 1000 spirit coins. In the current market... 1000 spirit coins should be enough for you to spend until you reach the Golden Core stage."

Listening to Director Gao's teachings, Zhang Yu repeatedly agreed.

Seeing that Zhang Yu was obedient and did not become arrogant because of his excellent grades, Director Gao nodded in satisfaction.

He had seen too many students who became arrogant after achieving success and could no longer stay grounded, so he took this opportunity to give Zhang Yu some pointers.

Director Gao continued, "When it comes to making money honestly and steadily, being honest and steady is more important than making money."

"Some people, no matter how rich they become overnight, their cultivation and realm are not enough to control this wealth, and they will have to give it back sooner or later."

"Don't follow their example."

“Although I am the director and you are the student, I need to know my place and you need to know your place. Never think about making money that you can’t control. Even if that kind of money comes into your account, it’s not yours. It’s just that someone else has temporarily put it in your account.”

Zhang Yu's heart skipped a beat again, and he thought to himself, "Is Director Gao talking about Ping Han? Is he worried that I'll learn from Ping Han and speculate on cryptocurrencies?"

Director Gao did intend to remind Zhang Yu to prevent him from following Ping Han into cryptocurrency trading.

"If Ping Han doesn't lose money, he has a good chance of passing the military certification exam in October."

"At that time, I'm afraid even more people will want to imitate Ping Han's cryptocurrency trading."

Director Gao glanced at Zhang Yu in front of him and thought to himself, "I need to give this kid a good talking-to, so he doesn't get carried away and start speculating in cryptocurrencies too."

After giving Zhang Yu some pointers, Director Gao casually asked a few more questions.

"How is this gold-threaded jade disc being used?"

Is Wen Wuyai still in contact?

"We'll try to sell a few more orders to the pharmacology department if we have the chance, and we can also recommend them to other students in the department. There are quite a few students in our civil engineering department who can sell seeds."

As they were talking, Director Gao also sent Zhang Yu the copyright information for the exercise he was going to teach that day.

"The third of the Seven Wonders of Earth and Wood is called the Divine Transformation of Earth Control."

"This martial art is a technique that involves sensing the earth's energy, using one's own magical power to stimulate the earth's dynamics, and combining it with martial arts moves to ultimately achieve the effect of controlling the earth."

"However, this technique, placed in the third position, has become the foundation for promoting the Lesser Three Harmonies."

"Once students have mastered the skill, they rarely use it on their own."

Next, Director Gao summarized the key points of the "Three Harmonies" method, which he believed was also the key to today's instruction.

"The master who created the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power was a genius of unparalleled talent in ancient times."

"He didn't actually create any Seven Wonders of Earth and Wood, but instead created the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power technique."

"However, later disciples felt that this technique was too difficult to teach and learn, so after much thought, they divided it into five parts. As long as one practices the five simpler parts, one will eventually be able to naturally master the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power."

"Later, in order to enable Foundation Establishment disciples to also master this technique, someone split the most difficult technique among these five techniques into three: the Xuanhuang Zhenyue Seal, the Great Wilderness Mountain Moving Force, and the Earth Control Divine Transformation."

Director Gao sighed and said, "It was precisely because the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power became easier and easier to dismantle that, for a period of time, more and more people began to practice this skill."

"It is thanks to the continuous innovation and improvement by numerous practitioners that this technique has kept pace with the times and its power has increased day by day. Even now, it remains a military-grade martial art."

"Unlike many of the top martial arts of the past, which were eventually eliminated because there were too few successors and no one maintained them, their power could not keep up with the times."

"Either the threshold is too high and it is too difficult to master, and eventually it is gradually abandoned by people because it lacks cost-effectiveness and becomes a collection in museums."

After expressing his feelings, Director Gao then taught Zhang Yu the cultivation method of the Earth Divine Transformation.

More than an hour later, watching Zhang Yu strike out with his palm, his magical power resonating with the earth's energy, causing a cloud of mud and sand to rise, Director Gao nodded in satisfaction. Zhang Yu's martial arts talent had not disappointed him today, especially since he remained calm and composed after mastering the technique, showing no arrogance whatsoever, which pleased him even more.

"Sigh, if Pinghan had Zhang Yu's composure, things wouldn't have turned out this way."

Director Gao began, "You've already mastered the first level of the Earth Control Divine Transformation. Next, I'll teach you the Lesser Three Harmonies Method..."

Following Director Gao's instructions, Zhang Yu circulated his internal energy and soon felt that the energy pathways of the three techniques—Xuanhuang Zhenyue Seal, Dahuang Yishan Force, and Yutu Shenbian—could be perfectly combined.

As he simultaneously activated the power of these three techniques, a vast amount of magical power was condensed from his dantian, drawing upon a terrifying force from the heavens and earth.

But the next moment, the power of the three techniques revealed a certain incompleteness, and the terrifying power in the world only trembled slightly before it completely lost contact with Zhang Yu.

Only the earth beneath Zhang Yu's feet, as he clasped his hands together, produced two enormous hands formed from mud and sand, which merged into one before him.

"That terrifying force in the world must be the Earthly Fiend Gravity, right?"

"It is a power that can only be truly propelled after one has mastered the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power."

"The Little Three Harmonies can only control the earth beneath their feet and manipulate the metals and minerals within it."

Under Director Gao's guidance, Zhang Yu also understood that the power of the Minor Three Harmonies depended entirely on the level of the three techniques.

For example, although he has cultivated the Xuanhuang Zhenyue Seal and the Great Wilderness Yishan Force to level 20, his Yutu Divine Transformation is only level 1. Therefore, the Small Three Harmonies can only exert the power of level 13 or 4.

"To enhance the power of the Lesser Three Harmonies, we also need to upgrade the level of the Earth Control Divine Transformation."

"However, besides the level, how effective this Lesser Trinity can be... also depends a lot on how it is used."

The next moment, Zhang Yu activated his magic power, his palm prints changed, and the ground beneath his feet undulated like ocean waves.

Suddenly, an 8 or 9-meter-tall earth giant burst out of the ground, spreading its arms as if letting out a silent roar.

Then Zhang Yu opened his mouth and spat out the golden energy transformed from the Taiyi Golden Liquid Pill, which blew towards the earth giant and instantly transformed into a hammer and a shovel in the giant's hand.

The Taiyi Golden Liquid Pill has now been swallowed by Zhang Yu. As long as he opens his mouth to spit it out, it can gush out and transform into various states that he needs.

Then another pair of arms grew from the back of the earth giant, one of which caught Zhang Yu's Azure Cloud Pouch.

Seeing the four-armed earth giant in front of him holding tools in one hand and the Azure Cloud Gathering Pouch in the other, Zhang Yu's mind stirred slightly. He pressed down with one hand and pushed up with the other, and his palm print changed again.

Then, the earth giant that had just stood on the ground suddenly shattered into pieces, turning into small earth people that appeared in front of Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu tried out various operations of the "Little Three Harmony" method one after another, thinking to himself, "With the Little Three Harmony, my work mode has become much more varied."

"But how to work effectively in different environments... requires a lot of experimentation."

Director Gao, watching Zhang Yu's various attempts, smiled and nodded, thinking to himself, "Although Zhang Yu has only just achieved the initial stage of the Three Harmonies and his range of power is still small, his control is exquisite. How can he construct various forms so quickly?"

……

9 month.

On the construction site of the 668th floor.

As Zhang Yu's palm prints changed, the mud and sand transformed into human figures and began to work everywhere.

This was Zhang Yu using his job to earn money while practicing his martial arts.

With each minor triadic cycle, the Divine Transformation of Earth Control would also be activated, making it convenient for Zhang Yu to cultivate this technique.

Besides the humanoid figures formed from mud and sand, there were also the Earth-Suppressing Seal, the Earthly Fiend Bottle, and the Azure Cloud-Gathering Pouch floating above Zhang Yu's head, each operating under the control of Mo Tianyi, Zhao Tianxing, and a member of the Ying family.

In addition, a member of the Ying family was manipulating the gold-threaded jade disc behind Zhang Yu's head.

These two members of the Ying family were Ying Xin's great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather.

Zhang Yu still remembers how Yingxin introduced her family...

Yingxin: "Senior brother, my great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather were both at the age of hard work. After all, if they didn't work hard to make money, they would die. So their work attitude was absolutely top-notch. They were willing to work hard and were guaranteed not to disappoint you."

Yingxin's great-grandfather: Zhang Yu, don't worry, we are all veteran civil engineers with rich construction experience, and we will never hold you back.

Yingxin's great-grandfather: We all understand the rules. All important projects, like civil engineering competitions, are opportunities for us to showcase our reputation and resumes. No matter how much you pay, I'll give you a 15% kickback.

After hearing their great-grandfathers recommend themselves, Mo Tianyi and Zhao Tianxing became nervous, fearing that they would be replaced, and each offered a 15% kickback.

Looking at the four soul cultivators who hadn't said much but were working diligently, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "I haven't even made any demands, and you've already started to stir things up?"

　Thank you 'N-methyl-1-phenylprop-2-amine' for the generous donation.
