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

Chapter 465 Level 2 Taiqing Talisman

In the spirit world.

Zhang Pianpian, who was participating in the deciphering of the Yin Artifact, suddenly raised an eyebrow.

Just now, her account received a transfer of 100 spirit coins from her good younger brother, Zhang Yu.

"This kid..."

Zhang Pianpian was slightly startled. Just as she was wondering whether to transfer the money back, Zhang Yu sent her a message: "My project payment has come through. You can use this money without worry."
Looking at the message Zhang Yu sent, Zhang Pianpian shook her head helplessly, but a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips: "Am I that obviously short of money?"

Zhang Pianpian recalled that when Zhang Yu was in his first year of high school, he was heavily in debt from online loans and was almost bankrupt.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the other party had not only become a third-year student at Wanfa University, but was even able to provide support with hundreds of spirit coins.

However, there are many people in this world who can come up with 100 spirit coins, but only his younger brother can do it without signing a contract, making any demands, and directly depositing the money into his account.

"Is this what family is?"

"No, most families in Kunxu wouldn't be able to do that."

"My younger brother is truly a man of deep feelings and true character."

Zhang Pianpian thought to herself, "She's so kind."

"If he had been born five hundred years earlier, he might have been a great hero of the righteous path, a pillar of the Taoist sect, but in the end... he died a violent death."

Zhang Pianpian shook her head: "Perhaps Kunxu these days is even less tolerant of this kind of person?"

Although she thought this to herself, Zhang Pianpian always had a faint smile on her face.

"But if given the chance, I hope that our sibling-like bond can last a little longer."

……

On the other side, Zhang Yu looked at the contract sent by Zhang Pianpian and thought to himself, "A contract that requires 5 spirit coins to be paid every month?"

Zhang Yu was not surprised by this. He knew that in his sister's eyes, he was willing to lend money to the other party, and the other party was willing to pay him interest. This was what true family was, and this repayment contract was the bond between the siblings.

Zhang Yu was fully aware of his sister's intentions.

Moreover, he could sense that with his sister's cultivation level, her income should not be low. However, it seemed that she had a black hole-like spending problem, investing all the money she had earned over the years into it, to the point that she didn't even have time to upgrade her Taiqing Realm.

"Is my sister gambling?"

Shaking his head, Zhang Yu dispelled the absurd thoughts in his mind and began to look forward to the upgrade of the Taiqing Talisman.

That evening, upon seeing the Taiqing Talisman upgraded to level 2 on the Dao Seed Scroll, Zhang Yu immediately donned the Spiritual Shield and activated the power of the Taiqing Talisman.

The next moment, as his consciousness rapidly traversed the spirit world, countless colorful things flashed past him.

When Zhang Yu came to his senses, he had already arrived in front of the Taoist temple, which was shrouded in mist and surrounded by mountains.

However, the Taoist temple today seemed to be a size larger than usual, and the gate and the plaque above it seemed more real and authentic.

When Zhang Yu entered the Taoist temple, he discovered that in addition to the original main hall, there was an extra side hall.

Zhang Pianpian was standing in front of the side hall when she heard the commotion behind her. She turned around and looked at Zhang Yu, saying, "Have you also sensed the changes in the Taiqing Realm?"

Although Zhang Pianpian didn't know why Zhang Yu was able to enter the Taiqing Realm, it wasn't surprising that he could sense the changes in the Taiqing Realm since he was able to enter.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu nodded and asked, "What is this extra side hall?"

"You've come at the right time. Come in and have a look." Zhang Pianpian pushed open the door of the side hall and led Zhang Yu inside.

Upon entering, Zhang Yu discovered that the actual interior space of this side hall seemed to be several times larger than what appeared from the outside.

What surprised him even more was that the hall was completely empty; there was absolutely nothing inside.

But in the next moment, Zhang Pianpian reached out and summoned incantations that appeared in her palm, and at the same time, something else was generated.

It appeared to be a corner of a statue, but as soon as that corner was generated, the entire side hall trembled slightly and could not continue to generate.

This corner is precisely the part of the spiritual realm projection of the Nascent Soul Yin Artifact that Zhang Pianpian has been busy trying to decipher recently.

Looking at this corner, Zhang Pianpian thought to herself, "Is this the current limit?"

Seeing Zhang Yu's curious gaze, Zhang Pianpian explained, "This side hall can be considered a kind of illusory realm, capable of simulating and reproducing all sorts of things in the world..."

Zhang Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "Like the spirit world simulation service outside? Can it simulate weapon forging experiments?"

Zhang Pianpian nodded: "No problem."

"However, simulations are not without limitations."

"Although the Taiqing Realm is a spiritual cave dwelling opened up by a senior expert, and the spiritual pool that can be activated is of immense size, it also has requirements on the user's realm."

"Given our current Dao Heart level of 20 and Foundation Establishment realm, this upper limit won't be too high..."

Through Zhang Pianpian's explanation, Zhang Yu finally understood the setting of this side hall.

In his own words, the simulation capabilities here have a computing power ceiling.

Assuming the maximum computing power available in the entire side hall is 100, and assuming that simulating one apple requires 10 computing power, then Zhang Yu can only simulate a maximum of 10 apples in the side hall at the same time.

Zhang Pianpian continued, "The more complex and powerful something is, the higher the computing power it consumes." "Judging from your current Dao heart, if you want to conduct simulated weapon refining, then magic treasures and magical remains below the Golden Core stage should not be a problem."

"Besides the limitations of computing power, what can be simulated here must be something you have actually seen."

"And the longer you are in contact with that thing, the more you understand it, the higher the realism of the simulation will be..."

With Zhang Pianpian's introduction and instruction, Zhang Yu gradually understood how to use this side hall.

Despite the various limitations, there is no doubt that this side hall was of great help to him.

"After all, the Taiqing Realm is a place I can use for free. If I can conduct weapon refining experiments here in the future, how much money can I save?"

Zhang Yu was thrilled. After all, since he started learning weapon crafting again, he had been spending a lot of spirit coins every month on simulated weapon crafting in the spirit world.

"Moreover, the simulation efficiency of Taiqing Realm is also higher."

"Using the boundless inner Dharma body, conducting experiments with four layers of consciousness, and then adding the original 20 times acceleration of the Taiqing Realm, that would be approximately 80 times acceleration, right?"

"It's 8 times faster than the normal 10-fold acceleration of the spirit world."

Zhang Yu knew that truly wealthy people in the spirit world could experience speed-up experiences more than 10 times faster, provided they spent enough money.

But Taiqing Realm doesn't require any money.

Next, Zhang Yu tried to see if he could cultivate his martial arts here, and the result was...

"Can't you?"

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Simulating various materials and magical artifacts to improve the level of weapon crafting skills is no problem."

"But cultivating this technique involves my physical body. It seems that this place cannot fully simulate my physical state. Is the computing power insufficient?"

Although he couldn't figure out the reason, Zhang Yu was not discouraged. After all, being able to conduct free and efficient weapon-refining experiments here was already a great help to him.

"The level 2 Taiqing Talisman is a huge help. I wonder when I can upgrade it to level 3."

According to Zhang Yu's later observations, upgrading a level 3 Taiqing Talisman required a full 1000 spirit coins, far exceeding what the Foundation Establishment stage could afford.

While Zhang Yu was making various attempts, on the other side, talismans were constantly surging in front of Zhang Pianpian, and she was constantly analyzing and studying something about a corner of the Nascent Soul Yin Artifact.

Zhang Pianpian thought to herself, "Although it can only simulate a corner, it's not entirely without effect. At least for my part of the cracking work, I can do some things that I wouldn't have dared to do before."

……

Inside the classroom.

Yingxin glanced at the empty seat next to her and thought to herself, "It's been so long since Senior Brother has come to class."

She then looked at Ji Yuanshu, who was sitting in the last row. Now he was dressed in the Extreme Tiger Brand Magic Body and came to class on time every day. He was no longer the spirited young man he was in his freshman year.

She sighed inwardly. Ji Yuanshu was now attending classes on time every day, while Zhang Yu and Gongshu Jin often skipped classes, busy with various construction sites, studies, and cultivation, relying on accelerated online classes in the spirit world to replace real-world classes.

In particular, Zhang Yu, as the chief accountant of the other company, knew very well how busy the other party was right now.

Not only does he have to run around the construction site every day and carry out construction, but he also has to care about the company's financial work. He replies to her messages almost instantly every day and can always give her various guidance on her work, pointing out the oversights.

She thought to herself, "I didn't expect that besides being good at civil engineering, my senior brother is also so knowledgeable about finance and taxation."

"It seems he had been prepared for this all along and never intended to be an ordinary worker on the construction site."

Thinking that this had also given her the opportunity to leave the construction site, Yingxin secretly felt excited.

Just then, she received another message from Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu: What about yesterday's report?
Zhang Yu: Yingxin, I feel your work performance these past two days hasn't been ideal.
Yingxin quickly replied: Final exams are coming up soon, I'm quite busy.

Zhang Yu: Don't make excuses
Zhang Yu: I hope you can grow together with the company.

Zhang Yu: For example, you need to have the ability to work proactively, not just work when I assign you tasks.

Yingxin: I'll finish the report as soon as possible.
……

On the other side, at a construction site in the wild.

Looking at Yingxin's reply to the message, Fuji thought to herself, "Really, these employees are still overpaid."

"How dare you go to class when you haven't even finished your overtime work?"

"Sigh, Zhang Yu is still too inexperienced. If we follow my advice and lower his base salary, and then combine that with performance-based bonuses, his enthusiasm will immediately increase."

At the same time, Zhang Yu, wearing a spiritual barrier, sat cross-legged, his consciousness entering the Taiqing Realm.

During this period, Zhang Yu seized the opportunity to start the company's second project.

Whether he went to the construction site or stayed in the university town, Zhang Yu always carried a spiritual shield with him.

Even when he was on a construction site, whenever he had a spare moment, he would put on his mask and enter the Taiqing Realm to conduct simulation experiments.

After all, he had been busy with the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power for a while, and his weapon-refining skills had not improved for a long time.

As the opponents he encounters in the civil engineering competition become increasingly stronger, he needs to upgrade his magical artifacts one by one to keep them up to the pace of his current battles.
