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

Chapter 460 The Vast and Boundless Refining System: Another Battle Against Vajra

As the Mysterious Female Heavenly Pearl emitted layers of light, the avatar of the Magnetic Extreme True Monarch appeared before Zhang Yu.

A slender figure in elegant palace attire sat in an office chair, looking at Zhang Yu with satisfaction, and said, "I didn't expect that I still underestimated you. You really did manage to master the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power in such a short time."

"Although there was a coincidence in timing and the help of True Monarch Qiyun, your talent in martial arts is also an indispensable part."

After saying that, Magnetism True Monarch patted his thigh and said, "Come here."

"Let me give you a check-up."

Thinking about his future plans to enter the weapon crafting department, Zhang Yu could only grit his teeth and sit on the other person's lap.

Feeling the Magnetic True Lord's fingers tracing across his body, strands of magical power seeped into his meridians, exploring his physical condition.

Zhang Yu felt as if he were a fine material for refining weapons, constantly receiving comments from the Magnetism True Monarch.

"Not bad, not bad." Magnetism True Monarch said, "Your physical body now has a trace of Earthly Fiend Gravity. This is the effect of the body tempering by the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power."

"Through years of practicing and using this martial art, the practitioner's flesh and blood will unknowingly carry a kind of innate power, and they will be able to unleash the earth's Fiend attraction force when walking, sitting or lying down."

"If one's skill level is high enough and one's understanding of the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power is deep enough, even after the flesh and blood leave the body, it will still carry a trace of the Earthly Fiend Gravity and contain adaptability to the Earthly Fiend Gravity. It is truly an excellent material for making flying magic treasures and protective magic treasures."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu couldn't help but tremble. He forced a laugh and said, "True Lord, do you intend to use some of my flesh and blood... to forge a magic weapon?"

At this moment, Zhang Yu was as humble as a college student.

Magnetism True Monarch held Zhang Yu in his arms, stroking his little hand as he laughed, "What nonsense are you talking about? Me, a dignified Nascent Soul True Monarch, would I even look at your Foundation Establishment stage material?"

"I was just thinking that none of the cultivators who mastered the power to move mountains in Kunlun throughout history have studied weapon crafting. Wanfa University has a large gap in its research in this area."

"If you can combine the secrets of the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power into your research on weapon crafting in the future, for example, by successfully refining your own flesh and blood into a Dharma Body, that would be enough to publish several papers."

"If you can make any discoveries during this process, and innovate even a little bit in the related techniques of Earthly Fiend Gravity, then you will be able to have a place in academic research after you advance to the Golden Core stage in the future, and it can also help me in the research of weapon refining."

Zhang Yu nodded thoughtfully.

Then Magnetism True Lord continued, "Tell me about your change of major."

"Now that you've mastered the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power, have you decided to transfer to the Weapon Forging Department after your junior year?"

Zhang Yu nodded solemnly and said earnestly, "Teacher, the Civil Engineering Department is very good, and there is a promising future for me there. Director Gao has also treated me well, but... I really want to advance."

"I want to go further on the path of immortality. I want to take the postgraduate entrance exam, get a doctorate, or even join a sect."

"I know that only the weapon crafting department has the potential to fulfill my dreams."

"People strive for higher positions, just as water flows downhill. Although the Department of Civil Engineering has treated you well, our Department of Weapon Forging has a much brighter future." Magnetism True Monarch nodded with emotion: "It's good that you've made up your mind."

"But Lao Gao is, after all, the head of the Civil Engineering Department. Although I will help you with this matter, it is impossible to say that Lao Gao has no thoughts at all."

"You need to be mentally prepared for the pressure involved."

Just then, Magnetism True Monarch's eyes flashed, and he casually approved Yan Qianji's application. He then saw that the other party's spirit world projection had already descended.

Yan Qianji reported to Magnet True Lord, "True Lord, we've encountered some problems with the artifact spirit's decryption and need your guidance..."

Magnetism True Lord said calmly, "What question do you want to ask first?"

As Yan Qianji reported, he looked at the Magnetism True Lord before him, and a thought suddenly occurred to him: "Why does it look like the Magnetism True Lord is holding someone in his arms?"

Although Magnetism True Lord's arms were clearly empty, Yan Qianji knew that all of that could be masked, and Magnetism True Lord's actions looked too much like he was holding a person.

"But is that even possible?" Yan Qianji thought to himself, "Who would someone like Magnet Pole True Lord be holding? It couldn't be Ye Xingli, could it?"

Filled with curiosity and surprise, Yan Qianji ended the communication after finishing the report.

Zhang Yu couldn't see the projection of Yan Qianji's one-on-one communication with Magnetism True Monarch, but he could sense that Magnetism True Monarch seemed to be making a remote call with someone.

After finishing his conversation with Yan Qianji, Magnetism True Monarch continued, "Although the Seven Absolute Dharma Bodies of the Earth and Wood system are not military-grade Dharma Bodies, they can work together to greatly enhance the power of the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Force and have unique advantages in enhancing the Earthly Fiend Gravity."

"Remember to take all the relevant blueprints with you before you switch disciplines. They will be a great reference for your future crafting of Dharma Bodies..."

Listening to Magnetism True Monarch's instructions, Fu Ji thought to herself, "You two, master and disciple, really want to skin the Civil Engineering Department bare. In the future, you'll take the essence of the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power and the Seven Absolute Dharma Bodies from the Civil Engineering Department to the Weapon Forging Department. What will be left of the Civil Engineering Department? It'll probably become a Civil Engineering class under the Weapon Forging Department of the Myriad Laws University."

After finishing what he had to say, Magnetism True Monarch patted Zhang Yu on the shoulder and said, "Go back first. Focus on the competition. Don't rush into changing your major; I'll arrange it for you."

……

Late May.

On the construction site.

As Zhang Yu's palm print changed, the mountain not far away suddenly exploded, and after shooting into the sky, it was as if it was stirred by invisible vortexes, quickly shattering into a cloud of dust.

Then Zhang Yu pointed a finger, and a wave of earth-fiend gravity shot out, instantly gathering up the dust and smoke that had exploded everywhere.

Through his cultivation at the construction site, his Kun Yuan Technique had already reached level 20, the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. This also meant that his Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power had also reached level 20, the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

At the same time, if the first layer of Kunlun is also added to the chain diagram, then Zhang Yu's Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power will cause even greater damage to the environment.

Zhang Yu had tried it out briefly in a deserted wilderness, and even without going all out, he was already amazed.

Regarding his own performance, which he gave it his all, he had only one judgment in mind.

"Earth-shattering".

Just then, Zhang Yu saw the message sent by Feng Tingting.

Feng Tingting: Zhang Yu! Have you heard? The Magnetism True Lord hugged someone in his office late at night!

Zhang Yu: Huh?

Feng Tingting: It must be top-quality refining material for the True Lord to be able to play with it so late at night.
Zhang Yu: Maybe.

Feng Tingting: I'm really curious what kind of person could be held like that by the True Lord.
Feng Tingting: I'd be happy if you could give me some scraps.
Zhang Yu: Where did you hear this news from?

Feng Tingting: Why are you asking this? I wouldn't just reveal something like this.

Zhang Yu shook his head, thinking to himself that with the cultivation level of True Monarch Magnetism, no one should be able to see that he was the one being held in his arms.

A few hours later, another day had passed. Fuki reviewed the workload of each employee, calculated their salaries, and then reported it to Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu distributed the salaries one by one, secretly feeling the pain as he watched the account balances dwindle.

"Sigh, just hang in there a little longer. After all, it's Wanfa University's own project, so they won't delay paying me for the project. I should receive a batch of money next month."

The soul cultivators who received their wages sent their thanks one after another.

Zhao Tianxing: Thank you, Mr. Zhang.

Hu Yuntao: Thank you, Mr. Zhang.

Yingxin's grandfather: Thank you, Mr. Zhang.

Seeing how efficiently Zhang Yu paid out wages, Fu Ji couldn't help but say, "You're employing them long-term, for the entire project. They're not like day laborers with lower pay. You don't need to pay them every day, do you?"

“We’re not a big company, and the project payment hasn’t arrived yet. I think it’s fine to delay them for another month or two after the project is finished.”

"You've got quite a bit of money tied up in your hands. You can use it to cultivate yourself. When you're not at the construction site, go to the spirit realm more often and simulate weapon-refining techniques."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "Zhao Tianxing started his studies halfway through his career and wasted a lot of time in his freshman year. He's short of money right now."

"Mo Tianyi started cultivating his soul early, and his monthly expenses are quite high."

"Hu Yuntao and Che Yufei are heavily in debt, and their financial situation is even worse."

"Not to mention the members of the Ying family, they're all at an advanced age, and their daily expenses are considerable. Since they've come here to help me, I don't want to withhold their wages..."

Fuki was shocked to hear this: "You little bastard... why are you taking such good care of your employees?"

She said angrily, "How can you give away perfectly good spirit coins to your employees every day? Isn't that just throwing money away?"

Zhang Yu said calmly, "It's not like we don't have money in the account."

Fuki said angrily, "You can't do it like this. It's lowering the company's competitiveness. How will we grow and expand in the future?"

"Since you've made me the CFO, you have to do as I say."

To be honest, Zhang Yu didn't know how to answer Fu Ji's question.

Zhang Yu even understood that Fu Ji's words were not wrong from some perspectives; reducing labor costs could indeed increase the company's competitiveness.

But at least for now, given his ability to avoid withholding wages, Zhang Yu doesn't want to do that.

He couldn't imagine what tone he should use to talk to Zhao Tianxing and Che Yufei about this kind of thing.

After her attempts to persuade him failed, Fuki suddenly remembered something and said, "You little brat... you're the only one in the whole company who gets exploited, aren't you?"

Zhang Yu comforted him, saying, "You're a shareholder, so if I do well in the future, you'll benefit immensely."

At that moment, Fuki suddenly realized something: "Damn it... it seems like I'm the only one in Zhang Yu's company who can't leave."

A few days later.

Zhang Yu followed Shi Huaiyu, Su Yanyang, and others to King Kong University.

Today is the day they face off against King Kong University in the loser's bracket, to decide who will be the true loser of this year's competition.

Looking down at the glittering university below the flying boat, apart from Zhang Yu who remained calm and composed, Su Yanyang and the others felt both nervous and worried, clearly lacking confidence in the upcoming competition.
