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

Chapter 425 The Soaring Price of Qiongjiang Coins
The military certification exam was held in the field.

It is located on a plain about 100 kilometers away from Wanfa University City.

Because the exam content and venue are kept confidential beforehand, Zhang Yu arrived here only after being guided by Yan Hai.

When he arrived at the waiting area for the candidates, he found that six candidates had already arrived there, making a total of seven candidates including Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "There aren't many people taking the military civil engineering certificate exam, since you probably need someone to recommend you."

Zhang Yu's arrival quickly attracted the attention of the six examinees in front of him, and they all looked at him with a hint of surprise.

Su Yanyang thought to himself, "Zhang Yu? What's a junior like him doing here in the competition?"

Clearly, in Su Yanyang's view, Zhang Yu, who had just entered his junior year of college, was not qualified to compete with them for the military certificate.

Xiao Yunji glanced at Zhang Yu on the other side and then paid no more attention to him. Most of the other students did the same, clearly indicating that Zhang Yu did not pose any competition to them.

Zhang Yu naturally didn't care what the other candidates thought. He simply found a place to sit down and silently sensed the power within his body, preparing for the upcoming exam.

Since the end of the final exams, he has been diligently cultivating every day, focusing wholeheartedly on the final sprint. Finally, after improving his magical power and physical strength, he also pushed his Dao heart to the Foundation Establishment limit of level 20.

In addition, the quality of mana has reached 197%, getting closer and closer to the Foundation Establishment limit of 200%.

Besides the improvement in basic data, Zhang Yu's biggest progress was naturally in his cultivation techniques.

The Treasure Appraisal Technique, Earth Control Divine Transformation, and Primordial Magnetic Pulse Interception Technique have all reached their peak level of 20.

The preservation effect of the Azure Lotus Sword Embryo on the Chain Method Diagram has also been improved. Among them, the University Sacred Body and Civil Engineering Sacred Body have reached 10%, and the Martial Arts Sacred Body has reached 6%. Only the Qi Meridian Flow has a shorter maintenance time and remains at 4%.

As Zhang Yu felt the immense power within his body and saw the parameters of the Azure Cloud-Gathering Pouch, the Taiyi Golden Liquid Pill, the Earthly Fiend Bottle, the Earth-Suppressing Seal, and the Golden Thread Jade Disc appear in his eyes, boundless confidence surged within him.

A moment later, all the candidates felt a twitch in their eyes, as if a faint light was shining from afar.

They subconsciously looked up towards the light and immediately spotted the eighth examinee, Ping Han.

At this moment, a red light flashed on Ping Han's chest, and the number 13.25 kept jumping, which was the current price of Qiongjiang Coins.

At the same time, a chart showing an upward trend appeared behind his head; this was the chart of the Qiongjiang coin's price movement over the past six months.

Behind him, on his arms, stomach, thighs, back... projected various figures of men, women, young and old, all of whom were the portraits of the various incarnations of the Divine Lord of Qiongjiang from Hehuan University.

Under the projections on Ping Han's body, several students felt extremely envious of his high-end magical body.

Su Yanyang was one of the students who envied him. He not only felt envious, but he also felt angry.

Seeing the three metal boxes floating behind Ping Han made him even more jealous, his heart bleeding with envy.

Su Yanyang thought to himself, "Is this the intelligent magic item management device of the Treasure Box? It actually requires three to store magic items?"

Seeing Ping Han's heavily armed appearance, several students began to have second thoughts, feeling that they could never beat Ping Han in this exam.

Just then, the number on Ping Han's chest started jumping, rising from 13.25 to 13.26.

Ping Han was looking at the group messages that appeared in his eyes and laughing.

"Has everyone seen the news? The Divine Lord of the Jade Nectar has announced a giveaway for dual cultivation!"

"Just spend Qiongjiang Coins to participate in the lottery, and if you win, you can cultivate with the Qiongjiang God for a day and a night!"

"Professor Pinghan, how long do you think Qiongjiang Coin will continue to rise?"

Ping Han: This is just the beginning.

Ping Han: I've said it many times, the price of Qiongjiang Coins will definitely rise to over 1000 Spirit Coins in the future!

In recent days, Pinghan's group has grown to include more and more members, and he has earned a lot of spirit coins just from the group entry fees.

Seeing his former classmates coming to him for advice about Qiongjiang Coin, especially those who had advised him against trading cryptocurrencies and refused to lend him money, Ping Han felt incredibly pleased to see them lowering their heads to beg him.

He thought to himself with emotion, "After years of diligent study of the art of coinage, the time has finally come for me to hold my head high and soar to new heights."

While Pinghan was chatting with the other members of the guidance group, the number on his chest jumped from 13.26 to 13.27, and then quickly to 13.28.

Seeing the price of the Qiongjiang Coins on Ping Han's chest rising steadily, Zhang Yu couldn't help but feel an urge to buy more coins.

However, he quickly suppressed the thought, constantly reminding himself not to act impulsively.

On the other side, Su Yanyang looked at Ping Han's chest and thought to himself, "Damn it... has it gotten bigger again?"

"Luckily, I bought one too."

After watching Ping Han earn more and more and the Qiongjiang coin rise continuously, Su Yanyang repeatedly studied various aspects of the Qiongjiang coin and finally came to a conclusion.

"The rise of Qiongjiang Coin is not simply due to manipulation, but rather the result of a confluence of structural positive factors, marking the beginning of a long-term upward trend."

After buying Qiongjiang Coins and watching the profits in his account grow steadily, Su Yanyang only regretted that he hadn't bought them sooner.

"Alas, my Dao heart is still not sensitive enough, and I have missed some opportunities. Otherwise, I could have accumulated even more potential for immortality."

Just as Su Yanyang was secretly regretting his actions, Xiao Yunji on the other side frowned slightly, turned her head away, and stopped letting the numbers on Ping Han's chest disturb her mind. After seeing so many profit pictures posted by Ping Han, Xiao Yunji had naturally considered investing in Qiongjiang Coins as well.

However, after consulting Director Lin and his family elders, he received negative answers.

However, seeing the rapid rise in the price of Qiongjiang coins afterward, Xiao Yunji couldn't help but feel a little hesitant: "Are Director Lin and the others being too cautious? Have they made a mistake?"

"After all, the Qiongjiang Coin was created by a Nascent Soul Divine Lord, so how could a Golden Core or Nascent Soul True Lord possibly fathom it?"

"No, the most important thing right now is to get my military certification."

Xiao Yunji suppressed her distracting thoughts and told herself that she should focus on getting her military certificate first.

Although Ping Han's strength has increased dramatically, Xiao Yunji still has the confidence to compete for the military license, especially since she has been preparing for it for many years and would not give up easily.

On the other side, after finishing his call with his group members, Ping Han's gaze also fell on Zhang Yu.

Looking at Zhang Yu, Ping Han asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

Zhang Yu said calmly, "Director Gao recommended me to take this military certification exam."

Ping Han was slightly taken aback upon hearing these words, a strange light flashing in his eyes, but he said nothing.

But a sense of malice rose within him.

He recalled how he had finally managed to seize a chance to become a celestial being, and how he was just a few spirit coins away from soaring to the heavens.

He recalled kneeling before Director Gao, desperately trying to borrow spirit coins but failing, ultimately missing out on a wave of cryptocurrency speculation and becoming a loser in the eyes of many.

Zhang Yu, who was just a junior in college, was given the opportunity to be recommended for the military certificate exam by Director Gao, which was wasted.

Ping Han felt a surge of resentment: "Gao Chongguang, shouldn't you have been watching today?"

"I'll show you that you've misjudged me."

Just then, thunder rumbled in the sky.

Everyone looked up and saw that a flying boat had arrived above the examination hall.

……

On the flying boat.

Director Gao stood silently on one side of the deck, his gaze sweeping down to the examination room below, his eyes gleaming with an inscrutable light.

He is here today as a guest of Wanfa University for this year's military certification exam, to enhance the authority of the exam as a witness.

There were many other guests like him, including experts and professors from civil engineering departments of other universities, in addition to those from Wanfa University.

Director Gao had participated in similar activities before, and he knew that the results of important exams like the military certification exam could not be determined internally by Wanfa University.

In addition to experts and professors from different universities witnessing the event, three judges will supervise the fairness of the entire examination and provide professional evaluation.

In addition, the judgment results must be uploaded to the Heavenly Court. Only after the Heavenly Court approves and records them can a result be considered truly finalized.

Just as Director Gao was scanning the examination room, Director Lin appeared behind him without him noticing and said with a slight smile, "Ping Han has been quite successful lately."

Director Gao's gaze sharpened slightly, and he said calmly, "What are you trying to say?"

Director Lin sneered, "You students of the war faction, don't you end up relying on cryptocurrency speculation and finance? Old Gao, don't you think you're being too old-fashioned?"

Director Gao casually replied, "It's none of your business."

But when Director Gao thought of Ping Han, a sense of helplessness still arose in his heart.

Judging from the military certification exam in front of him, Ping Han, as a student from the war faction, is clearly the one most likely to win the military certification among the students present.

This should have been a good thing, meaning that after Mo Shangjin, the war faction would have another student who could wield the divine power of moving mountains in Kunlun, and would completely overwhelm the peace and neutral factions in terms of students.

But ironically... Ping Han achieved this through cryptocurrency trading.

Director Gao does not completely deny the value of cryptocurrency trading. He himself holds some of the currencies created by the Divine Lord of Transformation for investment purposes to generate returns.

But in his view, Pinghan's actions were not investment at all, but gambling.

Director Gao has personally witnessed many cases of sudden wealth obtained through gambling, all of which ended in financial ruin.

"Ping Han has a very good chance of winning the military certificate this year."

"But it's more likely that he'll go bankrupt shortly after mastering the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power..."

Director Gao sighed inwardly, "On the contrary, it has forced the top candidates from the pacifist and neutral factions to the next military certification exam, where these senior students will compete with Zhang Yu, a fifth-year student."

Just then, three figures emerged from the cabin of the flying boat; they were the three judges for this military certification exam.
