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

Chapter 424 The Military Certificate Exam Begins (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Inside the luxurious bedroom.

Zhang Yu's hands created a series of afterimages as he swept past Le Mulan's body with lightning speed.

Le Mulan then felt a strange magical power being injected into several of her meridians, temporarily severing her connection with the Dharma Body.

In addition, Zhang Yu would occasionally inject a few streams of blazing sun magic power into his cultivation.

This was Zhang Yu practicing his Thirty-Six Styles of Yuan Magnetic Meridian Intercepting Hand while also engaging in magical cultivation with Le Mulan.

Leaving aside the benefits Le Mulan gained from it, even though Zhang Yu himself had already raised his magical power to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, he could still continue to use the collision between the blazing sun magical power and the deep cold magical power to train the resilience and quality of his magical power, as well as improve the level of Le Mulan's Dao Seed.

Just then, the dormitory door opened, and Zhang Pianpian walked in.

"Senior."

Zhang Yu turned his head and looked at Zhang Pianpian's ranking of 32nd in the talisman system, thinking to himself, "Sister's ranking is really steadily improving."

Zhang Pianpian smiled slightly at Zhang Yu and said, "I'll be away for a while, so please remember to contact me if you need anything."

At the same time, Zhang Pianpian glanced at Zhang Yu poking around at Le Mulan, and at Le Mulan's occasional frowning, grimacing, and wriggling.

She messaged Zhang Yu: "Zhang Yu, I've been observing you and Le Mulan for a long time."

Zhang Pianpian: Do you want to cultivate together with her?

Zhang Yu: Senior, what nonsense are you talking about? We're seriously practicing here.

Zhang Pianpian: Really?

Zhang Pianpian: But you and she both searched a lot of Q&As about how to cultivate together with someone.

Zhang Pianpian: Yes, the search frequency has been increasing over the past few months.

Zhang Yu: It's just a search. Is there a problem with learning some new knowledge?

Zhang Pianpian: How can there be people whose primary gender is male, and how do they practice dual cultivation after surgery?
Zhang Yu: Curious! I'm just fucking curious!

Zhang Yu: Search results do not represent what I want to do!
Zhang Yu: Otherwise, go and look at Yu Xinghan's records. They're definitely much more outrageous than what he's going to do!
Zhang Yu: And... could you please pretend you didn't see our recording?!
Zhang Pianpian: Is it Yu Xinghan? I haven't looked closely in a long time; it's all so strange.
Zhang Yu: Send it to me so I can see it.

……

in the dormitory.

Zhang Yu made a hand seal, and his internal magical power condensed into a stream of true energy.

The next moment, as he pointed at the Earthly Fiend Bottle in front of him, his true energy surged out, instantly sweeping the Earthly Fiend Bottle from top to bottom.

Immediately afterwards, all sorts of information and parameters about the Earthly Fiend Bottle appeared before his eyes.

Looking at the various parameters that appeared, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "This Treasure Appraisal Technique is indeed powerful. It seems to incorporate some talismans and weapon crafting techniques."

"Once activated, it can communicate with the spirit world and access the latest data on magical artifacts. Even without a spirit world network, it can still summarize and analyze the information stored in the eye sac."

"It can also be used in conjunction with the Yuan Magnetic Meridian Interception Technique."

Zhang Yu knew that his Yuan Magnetic Meridian Interception Technique required him to know the meridian interfaces of the target's physical body in order to accurately seal it.

However, it would be time-consuming, laborious, and not worthwhile for him to memorize the meridian interfaces of various Dharma Bodies in advance in his daily life.

Therefore, the most convenient way to scan the treasure before using the Yuan Magnetic Pulse Interception Technique becomes to first use the Treasure Appraisal Technique.

Just as Zhang Yu was diligently practicing the Treasure Appraisal Technique again and again, he could see Bai Zhenzhen practicing swordsmanship in the communication window next to him.

The two did not communicate or speak; they were simply engaged in their own spiritual practice and study, seemingly having become accustomed to this state.

But whenever Bai Zhenzhen took a break from her cultivation and glanced at Zhang Yu, she felt as if Zhang Yu was by her side, and a smile would unconsciously appear on her lips.

Just then, Wen Wuyai's voice came from outside the door: "Zhenzhen! It's time! We should set off!"

Bai Zhenzhen looked at Zhang Yu in the communication window and said, "Yu Zi, I'm leaving."

Zhang Yu nodded: "Mm."

Just then, Le Mulan's voice came from beside him: "Zhang Yu, open your mouth, my new medicine is coming in."

Zhang Yu opened his mouth and said, "Ah Zhen, see you tomorrow night."

Bai Zhenzhen smiled slightly and said, "Good luck on your military certificate exam."

Zhang Yu: "Don't worry, we'll definitely take it!"

The next moment, with the communication cut off, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen went back to their own lives.

……

In recent days, Su Yanyang has been constantly collecting various intelligence on Ping Han.

After all, in his view, Ping Han had become the biggest obstacle to this military certificate exam and the biggest threat to Su Yanyang's chance to obtain the military certificate.

"This guy, not only is he trading cryptocurrencies himself, but now he's got a bunch of people trading cryptocurrencies with him?"

"Ha, a paid group for teaching cryptocurrency trading techniques?"

"This guy is dead meat."

Su Yanyang simply did not believe that Ping Han, a civil engineering worker, could master any real cryptocurrency trading skills. That was something that even top students in the finance department and peerless geniuses who had mastered the Dao of Luck might not be able to understand.

In his view, Ping Han just got lucky and made a fortune.

"The best option at this point is to withdraw while the tide is high, take these 400+ spirit coins, and never speculate on cryptocurrencies again."

If it were Su Yanyang, he would make the same choice.

But Su Yanyang also understood that not everyone had his decisiveness and courage. "Ping Han is speculating on Qiongjiang Coin, and he's using leverage of 10x or 20x at a time."

Su Yanyang spent time studying the market trends of Qiongjiang coins over the past few years and realized that the coin's trend was unpredictable. Both the increase and decrease were very frightening, and there could be huge changes in a short period of time. Every year, it caused countless people to go bankrupt.

"Given Pinghan's skill level, he won't last long."

"There's a very high chance it will explode before the military certification exam even starts."

After making this judgment, Su Yanyang chose to mortgage his Dharma Body to further enhance his competitiveness in the military certification exam.

But as the military certification exam drew closer, Su Yanyang was surprised to find that Ping Han not only did not lose money, but actually made more and more money as the Qiongjiang coin continued to rise.

"how is this possible?"

Looking at the profit data posted by Ping Han every day, Su Yanyang went from shock to anger, then to regret, and finally only helplessness remained.

Seeing Pinghan make so much money is worse than killing him.

Even when Su Yanyang lost to Zhang Yu last time, he didn't feel as pained as he is now.

Unbeknownst to him... Ping Han had become the person Su Yanyang hated the most.

……

Medical room.

Around Xiao Yunji were numerous medicine bottles, into which she was injecting large amounts of medicine to maintain the synchronization rate of her magical body.

"Hold on for a few more days."

"I'll be able to take the military certification exam soon."

Xiao Yunji comes from the 8th floor. She is a descendant of a leader of the construction company and carries the bloodline passed down from him.

The primary purpose for which she and her siblings were trained was to prolong the life of that leader.

For many wealthy people on the 7th to 10th floors of Kunxu, wasting funds on cultivating descendants during their peak immortality period was completely unnecessary.

But when potential is gradually exhausted and it becomes difficult to climb higher, it is time to breed offspring and nurture future generations.

Especially as lifespan decreases and the cost of maintaining oneself continues to rise, more descendants are needed to earn money, support them, and even provide their blood-related physical bodies.

Xiao Yunji had seen those wealthy people who eventually fell into the spirit world, and she had seen those people drain every drop of blood from their descendants, ultimately dragging their entire families to their doom.

Fortunately, her ancestor hasn't reached that point yet.

But Xiao Yunji remained determined to seize the military credentials.

Only by obtaining a military license could she continue to receive investment and climb the ranks, instead of working for a construction company and handing over most of her income to her family, squeezing every last drop of blood out of her to prolong her ancestor's life.

Feeling the latest form of his transformed body and the cultivation he had painstakingly developed, Xiao Yunji revealed a confident smile.

"This transforming artifact is designed specifically for combat. By transforming out of human form, it can unleash combat power far beyond what a human can achieve."

"Last year's civil engineering competition was just a warm-up."

"Now, combined with the cultivation technique I have specially practiced, the effect is even greater than the sum of its parts."

"I also need to add the six magic weapons I borrowed through advertising endorsements."

"This time... I'm definitely going to get my military license!"

Just then, Xiao Yunji frowned; Ping Han had sent another message.

"This guy……"

Xiao Yunji really wanted to block the other party.

But she didn't do that in the end. After all, as her biggest rival in this military certification exam, Xiao Yunji really wanted to know about him.

Looking at the screenshots of profits that the other party sent from time to time, Xiao Yunji also became serious.

"Did you make money again?"

Watching the other party's ever-growing bank account was like watching their ever-growing fighting power, making Xiao Yunji feel an increasing threat from Ping Han.

……

10 month.

Before we knew it, the day of the military certificate exam had arrived.

Zhang Yu opened his eyes in the dormitory, a slight tension rising in his heart: "It's finally about to begin."

Before leaving the dormitory, Le Mulan held up her finger and said, "I specially prepared this medicine for you. Take it before you go."

Yu Xinghan asked, "Shall I help you relax and warm up before we go?"

Walking along the magnetic passage, Zhang Yu looked at the message sent by Bai Zhenzhen.

Bai Zhenzhen: Yu Zi! Keep going! I believe in you!

Zhang Pianpian: Winning is fine, but remember not to be too high-profile.

Zhao Tianxing: Nervous ⊙﹏⊙

Director Gao: I'll do what I can. I'll be watching from the audience.
Magnet Lord: It's just a military certificate for civil engineering. It's okay if you don't pass the exam. Just remember, the most important thing is not to damage your physical body.

As he looked at the messages appearing in his eyes, Zhang Yu felt as if he were being gently pushed forward by one hand after another, until he arrived at the examination hall.
