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

Chapter 450 The Seven Deadly Opportunities, the Anti-Intellectual Wave

669 floors.

In a corner of the construction site.

Shi Yunxiang called out to Che Yufei, who had white hair, and asked in confusion, "Old Che, how come you've aged so much again?"

"And lately at the construction site, why do I feel like you've been avoiding me and Zhang Yu?"

Che Yufei paused, turned around to look at Shi Yunxiang, and smiled helplessly: "I'm just... a little ashamed to face you."

As Che Yufei slowly recounted his story, Shi Yunxiang learned that Che Yufei had bought Qiongjiang coins.

Shi Yunxiang couldn't help but yell, "Didn't I tell you to throw it away? Didn't you agree to it?"

Che Yufei sighed, "But I've been watching the price of the coin keep rising... keep rising..."

"I made a lot of money selling the competition team's spots, so I couldn't resist investing in it."

"I originally only planned to stop after three days of gains..."

Shi Yunxiang said, "You used leverage?"

Che Yufei nodded with a bitter expression: "It's been rising for so long, why is it falling when it's my turn?"

"Yunxiang, the path to immortality is really difficult."

“I have been cultivating diligently for almost thirty years. I have endured so much, avoided so many tribulations on the path to immortality, and resisted so many temptations. But just once... just that one time I couldn’t resist, and all my previous efforts were in vain.”

Hearing what Che Yufei said, Shi Yunxiang opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

He also recalled his journey, working tirelessly, scrimping and saving, and dedicating everything to the path of immortality.

Why is it that such a person, unable to resist a single temptation, has their path to immortality shattered, with no further chance to climb higher?

Che Yufei patted Shi Yunxiang on the shoulder and said, "Yunxiang, don't follow my example."

"On the path of immortality, you either persevere to the very end, until the moment your soul is scattered, or you simply don't walk this path at all. Don't be like me, unable to resist temptation and giving up halfway."

The next moment, a divine light suddenly descended.

Looking at the descending divine light, Che Yufei sighed, "The true god has come to take me away."

Watching Che Yufei disappear into the divine light, Shi Yunxiang remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a sigh.

Soon after, everyone in the competition group learned of Che Yufei's news and attended his memorial service in the spirit world.

……

Looking at the price trend of the Qiongjiang Coin, Shi Huaiyu sighed helplessly.

"Sigh, all the profits have been lost again."

"Luckily, we didn't use leverage."

Shi Huaiyu planned to continue investing, but instead of looking at the Qiongjiang Coin, he turned his attention to other currencies, especially the coins of the three Nascent Soul Divine Lords of Wanfa University.

"We still need to trade some stable cryptocurrencies."

Suddenly, she glanced at the messages about Che Yufei on her screen, paused slightly, and then shook her head helplessly: "I really can't play with leverage."

"If I hadn't suffered huge losses before, I might have used leverage this time too, and ended up like Lao Che."

……

Su Yanyang watched as people in the competition group discussed Che Yufei, but he didn't interrupt. After all, he didn't know Che Yufei at all, and he wasn't moved at all.

However, after glancing at the contents and recalling the Qiongjiang Coin, Su Yanyang suddenly felt somewhat fortunate.

He had made some money by listening to Zhang Yu's advice and stopping early, but later, seeing the Qiongjiang Coin rise continuously, he couldn't resist investing some more.

He was secretly annoyed by his losses, but seeing Che Yufei's fate, he suddenly felt fortunate that his own situation was still relatively good.

……

Upon seeing the news that Che Yufei had gone bankrupt and become a soul cultivator, Gongshu Jin thought to himself, "Sigh, it's a good thing I spent almost all my money on buying a spot in the Seven Absolutes."

Yingxin sighed inwardly, "Fortunately, my father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-great-grandfather all stopped me from voting."

Meanwhile, some people, even though they didn't earn any money through Qiongjiang Coins, were still in a good mood.

"Luckily, I'm too poor to speculate on cryptocurrencies." Li Xiao laughed to himself, "Now I have far fewer competitors in the exams, and my class ranking has jumped two places."

……

In the days that followed, Zhang Yu studied and practiced every day, and occasionally trained with the Mo Shang Jin team members to prepare for the inter-school league that would begin next month.

Before we knew it, it was already early December.

That day, Zhang Yu was using the 30 spirit coins he had been reimbursed to create a new Taiyi Golden Liquid Pill for himself by placing a refining order on himself.

Just then, he suddenly received a message from Zhang Pianpian.

Zhang Pianpian: Mo Shangjin from your department, and another of his teammates, are both seriously injured in the wild.

Zhang Yu was shocked to hear this: Wasn't Mo Shangjin supposed to be working on a project at a construction site in the wild? He possesses military-grade martial arts skills, how could he be seriously injured?

Zhang Pianpian: A conflict broke out at the colonel's place, involving a Golden Core cultivator; Mo Shangjin was also caught in the crossfire.
Zhang Pianpian: There are connections to other universities involved. Mo Shangjin may have been affected by some acts of retaliation.
Zhang Yu's gaze sharpened upon hearing this: Revenge?

Zhang Pianpian didn't answer Zhang Yu's question, but simply said: "In short, you will definitely become a key member of the Civil Engineering Department's team."

Zhang Pianpian: Be careful.

Zhang Pianpian: But this is also an opportunity.

Several days later, Zhang Yu indeed heard more news about Mo Shangjin's injury.

It is said that he and another teammate were seriously injured and it would take them two or three months to recover.

Suddenly, the Civil Engineering Department's original representative team was reduced to only Zhang Yu and one other official team member because two of them were seriously injured in the Qiongjiang Coin explosion.

...In the spirit world.

Qiyun Zhenjun looked at Director Gao, Director Lin, and the old director in front of him and said calmly, "Mo Shangjin can't be cured in a short time. What should we do next?"

Seeing the three silent figures, True Monarch Qiyun snorted coldly and said, "None of you are going to speak? Then I'll call on the generals."

"Besides Zhang Yu, let Xiao Yunji and Su Yanyang, who took the military certificate exam this time, also join the team. You can make up the rest."

"Don't talk to me about this faction or that faction this time."

"If we can't gather enough people, and we get eliminated by the Civil Engineering team of Colonel Thirty-Six, you can afford to lose face, but I won't be able to hold my head up in front of the three Divine Lords."

The old director smiled faintly and said, "As long as Lao Gao agrees, that's fine. The only problem is that he might not want our students to take up the extra points."

Director Gao snorted and said, "Principal, Mo Shangjin is seriously injured now. Zhang Yu has not yet mastered the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power in the upcoming matches. I'm afraid he will be unable to carry the team alone."

"I think we should speed things up and let Zhang Yu cultivate the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power more quickly."

Director Lin raised an eyebrow and said, "The Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power is a major event. Each of the Seven Wonders of Earth and Wood must follow the proper procedures."

Director Gao waved his hand angrily at Director Lin: "Is this the time to concern ourselves with these things? For the honor of the school, for the honor of the Civil Engineering Department, shouldn't we be doing extraordinary things at this extraordinary time?"

Director Lin said, "Zhang Yu is only a junior in college, but he has already mastered the Five Great Skills."

"I heard that you've already arranged the sixth secret technique for him, Director Gao?"

"Hehe, if we also include the seventh secret, then this is truly four secrets taught in half a year, which might cause controversy."

People might think that the Civil Engineering Department is surnamed Zhang.

Director Gao shouted, "Director Lin! I have a clear conscience for the Civil Engineering Department, but you are making excuses and trying to see our team eliminated. Do you really want to see our team eliminated? Is your heart still in the Civil Engineering Department? Or has it already flown to the Finance Department?"

Director Lin retorted angrily, "Gao Chongguang! Don't try to dodge the question! What does this have to do with the Finance Department? It was your student who caused trouble outside and was seriously injured. You are fully responsible for this."

The old director listened to the argument between the two, standing motionless to the side, his mind seemingly drifting to the depths of the spirit world to begin handling other tasks.

The next moment, a mute note appeared, and the two people who had just been talking fell silent.

Director Gao and Director Lin both stopped and looked at True Monarch Qiyun.

Qiyun Zhenjun, having withdrawn the Silence Note, said calmly, "It is not in accordance with the proper procedure to impart four supreme techniques in such a short period of time."

"It just so happens that the Civil Engineering League is undergoing a restructuring, starting in December and lasting for several months, right?"

"Old Lin, make arrangements for Zhang Yu to participate in your Civil Engineering Seventh Event next January, and entrust the seventh one to him."

"So, the four unique skills were passed down over two separate years, is that alright?"

Director Lin opened his mouth, looked at the intense lightning in the cloud of Qiyun Zhenjun, and finally nodded and said, "I have no objection."

Director Gao breathed a slight sigh of relief, thinking to himself that Zhang Yu would soon master the sixth technique in December and the seventh technique in January, and would soon be able to master the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power.

……

mid-December.

A flying boat took off from Wanfa University City, tearing through the sky in the blink of an eye and flying away into the distance.

On the flying boat, Zhang Yu was quietly practicing the sixth technique, "Twisting Soil into Gold," which he had only mastered a few days ago, in the training room.

Anyway, he doesn't need to be very successful in his technique. Even if it goes out of shape or changes over time, it will still increase the number of times he can cultivate in the Feather Book.

Soon after, the airship arrived at its destination—Golden River University, one of the 36 colonels, and Wanfa University's first opponent in this year's Civil Engineering Inter-University League.

Unlike Wanfa University City, Jinhe University is more like a normal city, with densely packed high-rise buildings forming square blocks, ultimately creating a city on a plain.

However, looking at the large number of demolished teaching buildings below, Zhang Yu's face showed a hint of surprise: "What's going on here?"

Xiao Qingxuan said from the side, "The last financial crisis reached level 3 here at Jinhe University."

"I heard that many things and places have been demolished and sold off."

Zhang Yu exclaimed in surprise, "A level 3 financial crisis?"

Xiao Qingxuan nodded and said, "It's probably because Jinhe University has a dual major program, which makes the financial crisis here even more severe."

Looking down at the vast, demolished city below, he sighed, "A level 3 financial crisis is already considered good. If it were level 8, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would be at risk of perishing."

As the airship continued to descend, Zhang Yu gradually saw more of the scenery inside Jinhe University.

Zhang Yu said, "There are many people who are missing limbs."

Just then, Mo Shangjin's spirit world projection appeared beside Zhang Yu and said, "After experiencing a level 3 financial crisis, it's normal for parts of your body to be dismantled and sold off."

"Look over there!"

Looking at the crowd gathered in the distance, seemingly burning something, Zhang Yu asked curiously, "What are they doing now?"

Mo Shangjin said, "Smash the Yin weapon."

Zhang Yu was stunned: "Smash what?"

Mo Shangjin said, "The Qiongjiang Coin incident has sparked an anti-intellectual device wave in many universities with dual cultivation programs."

"Some students took to the streets to protest, burning and smashing smart genitalia and genitalia."

"Some people take advantage of the situation, falsely accusing others of using intelligent genitalia or penises, demanding that they remove them for verification, and then seizing them under the guise of doing so..."

Zhang Yu exclaimed in surprise, "Is nobody going to do anything about it?"

Mo Shangjin shook his head: "Behind this anti-intelligence device issue, there is probably a soul cultivation company pushing it. The waters inside are very murky."

Zhang Yu then asked, "When we enter Jinhe University, won't they check our private parts?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Shangjin burst out laughing: "How dare this lousy school investigate us?"
