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

Chapter 452 Clubhouse Explosion

Quiet room.

With a light tap of his fingertip, Zhang Yu caused the ball of metal powder in front of him to oscillate and float back and forth with the vibration of his magic power, sometimes turning into a sphere and sometimes dispersing into a cloud of mist.

Turning Soil into Gold, the sixth of the Seven Wonders of Earth and Wood, is a martial art that uses magical power to refine metals.

However, for Zhang Yu, practicing this technique was not as troublesome as for others. As long as he manipulated the metal powder in front of him to complete various changes, he could continuously increase the number of times he could practice.

Several hours later, Zhang Yu, who had finally pushed the "Turning Soil into Gold" skill to level 10, breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, a knock sounded on the door, and Xiao Yunji's voice came from outside.

Xiao Yunji: "Zhang Yu, is it over? We're about to set off."

Zhang Yu opened the door and said, "Okay, let's go."

Walking beside Zhang Yu, Xiao Yunji suddenly asked, "Zhang Yu... why do you use your physical body instead of your magical body to power your cultivation technique... what is that reason?"

"If it's inconvenient for you to answer, you don't have to."

Zhang Yu thought for a moment and casually said, "I hope to maintain the cultivation of my physical body and use the customized Dharma Body in the future. At that time, I can strengthen my body, which has been tempered and refined over thousands of years, into a Dharma Body and a magic weapon, and control it at will. Wouldn't that be even stronger?"

Xiao Yunji said, "But this road... is very expensive."

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Take it slow, refine as much as you earn."

Xiao Yunji looked at Zhang Yu with a complicated expression. Suddenly, her brows furrowed slightly as she felt a sharp pain in her nerves. The medicine inside her body was immediately injected automatically.

Zhang Yu noticed the change in Xiao Yunji's expression and said, "Is the synchronization rate of the Dharma Bodies still not improving? Why not consider replacing them with some lighter Dharma Bodies?"

Xiao Yunji was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, as this was the first time someone had suggested that she change to a weaker Dharma Body.

Xiao Yunji said, "That would lower our strength, and our scores, rankings, income... would all decrease as a result."

"That's true," Zhang Yu said. "But if things continue like this, you won't be able to keep going, will you?"

Xiao Yunji gritted her teeth. Originally, she planned to get a military certificate so that she could replace the shapeshifting body on her body, obtain more investment, and then focus on cultivating the Seven Wonders of Earth and Wood.

However, since she hadn't obtained her military certification, she needed this transformation artifact even more to enhance her strength.

Especially with this inter-school league, she needs to seize the opportunity to prove herself to her teachers and school with an outstanding performance.

When Zhang Yu arrived at the entrance, he found that Su Yanyang was nowhere to be seen. After everyone urged him repeatedly, they saw divine light descend and several true gods actually arrived at the club.

"Why is the righteous god here?" Zhang Yu wondered. "He couldn't possibly be here to sweep this clubhouse, could he?"

A moment later, a righteous god appeared before them and asked, "Is Su Yanyang your classmate?"

Mo Shangjin's projection spoke up, "He came to participate in the competition with us. Is there a problem?"

The deity said, "There's nothing seriously wrong. It's just that his cultivation partner suddenly experienced a malfunction in his genitals."

"I'm just here to confirm some information with you."

The deity was quite polite to the students from Wanfa University, smiling and saying, "Don't worry, once the higher-ups have checked and found nothing wrong, they'll bring him down. It won't take you too long."

……

Inside the room, Su Yanyang stood to one side with a gloomy expression, his mind still replaying the scene from just now.

"Damn it... how did this thing explode halfway through?"

"And it seems like the soul cultivator inside this Yin artifact did it on purpose, but..."

Su Yanyang frowned slightly. From the exploded Yin artifact... he sensed that the soul cultivator inside had not retreated back to the Spirit Realm, but had instead been annihilated.

"The soul cultivator died directly. This is no longer a simple malfunction of the Yin organ, right? It can be considered a case of the soul cultivator committing suicide."

Su Yanyang had seen many soul cultivators and many dead people in his life, but this was the first time he had ever seen a soul truly annihilated.

Meanwhile, the two righteous gods were scanning the exploded yin organs and communicating at high speed through the spirit world.

The male deity among them said with a solemn expression, "The Yin organ was detonated after being forcibly overloaded."

The female deity standing nearby said, "So... this soul cultivator did it himself? He detonated the Yin organ he was working with? Why would he do that? Did he really not want to live anymore?"

The male god said solemnly, "Normally, such acts of self-sacrifice should not occur."

"Check his chat history to see if he's been misled by something."

A large amount of text and image information appeared in front of the male god.

So tired, so tired, so tired!

I don’t want to live anymore!

The debt is never going to be paid off!
Why won't you let me die! Why won't you let me die! Why won't you let me die!
Looking at the frenzied content, the male god frowned even more: "As expected, there is a problem with his mind. He has obviously been bewitched."

"Moreover, most of the chat logs have been deleted, and there is no information about today's operation at all."

"Hmph, it was probably premeditated."

"Not only did he arrange his own suicide, but he also wanted to... incidentally injure the students of Wanfa University?"

Upon hearing the male god's words, the female god, who was checking the records with him, had a sudden thought and said, "Senior, you seem to be very familiar with this matter?" The male god nodded: "Making someone commit suicide and then having their soul scattered, leaving no trace of value... it's probably the Feathered Demonic Cult again."

The goddess asked curiously, "The Feathered Demonic Cult?"

The male god said, "A bunch of cultists who go around bewitching people and causing them to commit suicide and have their souls scattered."

"Sigh, when the Qiongjiang coin was rising, the number of believers in the Dual Cultivation Cult increased. Now that the Qiongjiang coin has fallen, the number of people in the Dual Cultivation Cult has decreased, and the number of people in the Feathered Demon Cult is starting to increase again."

The male god sighed, "Alas, with frequent conflicts on campus, these evil sects and cults are becoming increasingly restless."

The goddess, however, was more concerned about the Ascension Demonic Sect, and said in surprise, "A demonic sect that makes people commit suicide and their souls scatter? People actually believe this? Are all those who believe it fools?"

The male god nodded: "There are always people who can't endure hardship, who are unwilling to work, unwilling to take responsibility, unwilling to pay off debts, and unwilling to contribute to the construction of Kunxu. In the end, they are taken advantage of by this demonic sect and their minds are corrupted by demonic methods."

"This demonic sect has caused Kunxu countless problems every year, and lost countless valuable talents. It is even more insane and sinful than the Dual Cultivation Sect and the Jobless Sect..."

The goddess looked at Su Yanyang beside her and asked, "What about him? Could he also have problems?"

The male god said, "I've checked this guy's information. He's single-mindedly ambitious, works 24/7, and has never hesitated on the path of immortality. He doesn't seem like one of those demonic sects."

At this point, the male god added, "But I'm afraid he'll be influenced."

"The things done by the Feathered Demonic Sect are always seductive and easily imitated."

"Moreover... it's possible that these members of the Demonic Sect will contact this Su Yanyang again in the future."

"But more importantly, we need to investigate the owner of this Yin artifact. He might have been brainwashed by the Feathered Demonic Cult. Let's investigate that side first."

After the two talked for a while, the male god looked at Su Yanyang, who had a gloomy face, and asked, "Young man, are you alright?"

Su Yanyang nodded: "You two, I still have to participate in the competition, I don't know when I can leave?"

The male god smiled slightly and said, "The details have been investigated. Once we've finished up the mess, you can leave. Don't worry, it won't be long."

Su Yanyang said, "Have you found out? It was this Yin organ that exploded on its own, right? How will the owner of the Yin organ compensate me?"

The male god said, "You and the other party should negotiate the compensation yourselves. If you can't reach an agreement, then go to court. This is not our responsibility."

"I want to talk to you about the matter of confidentiality."

"You are also a top student at Wanfa University, so you should know that such self-destruction should not be made public. To the outside world, you can only say that your genitals malfunctioned and exploded."

Su Yanyang nodded. He knew that such behavior was always severely criticized and punished in Kunxu.

The male god continued, "To prevent others from imitating us, this case needs to be kept confidential, so we would appreciate it if you could sign a confidentiality agreement with us."

Su Yanyang was slightly taken aback. The image of the soul cultivator inside that Yin artifact ultimately being annihilated flashed through his mind. He thought to himself, "Is it because of this?"

Su Yanyang nodded and said, "No problem."

The male deity continued, "Also, since it was a malfunction of the Dharma Body and you were in close contact with it, if you experience any problems, remember to contact us anytime."

……

More than ten minutes later.

Zhang Yu, Xiao Qingxuan, and the others waiting at the entrance of the club were getting impatient.

Li Zhen said, "Why are we still not here? If we wait any longer, we'll be late for the competition."

Xiao Yunji said, "Why don't we leave first? Five people are enough to beat the people from Jinhe University."

Just as they were discussing, there was a loud bang, and Su Yanyang jumped out of the window and landed steadily in front of them.

Zhang Yu looked at Su Yanyang, who had finally come downstairs, and said, "We're finally here. Why did it take so long?"

Su Yanyang said helplessly, "When the other party's physical body malfunctioned, their genitals exploded, and then they talked to me about compensation."

Zhang Yu exclaimed in surprise, "The Yin organ exploded?"

Zhang Yu had only asked casually, but now he felt that such a big matter required a thorough understanding.

"Come, come," Zhang Yu said with interest, "Tell me what exactly happened."

Su Yanyang: "It's almost time for the competition."

Zhang Yu said with an eager look, "We can talk as we walk."

So on the way to the arena, Su Yanyang told the story he and the gods had agreed on.

After explaining, Su Yanyang concluded, "...In short, it's just a malfunction of the Dharma Body, nothing special."

Mo Shangjin asked, "Are you injured?"

Su Yanyang said, "No, I was extremely cautious from beginning to end, just thinking that I would never reveal anything to the other party and not let them earn a single spirit coin from me."

"So when the explosion happened, I evacuated immediately."

"However, the issue of compensation is still open to discussion."

As they were talking, Zhang Yu, Su Yanyang, and the others had already arrived at the competition venue.
