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

Chapter 471 Yu Xinghan's Speed
Tianzhang Zhenjun asked in surprise, "Yin Jiurao gives you 25 spirit coins in one go?"

"Are you sure it wasn't you who gave her 25 spirit coins?"

In the eyes of True Lord Tianzhang, Yin Jiu Rao had to pay Zhang Yu for each time she repaired him? This was utterly contrary to the principles of Heaven and Earth, and completely against the laws of Yin and Yang.

Zhang Yu hesitated for a moment, glancing at the classmate beside him.

Tianzhang Zhenjun raised his hand and cast a silencing note, saying, "Speak now, they can't hear you anymore."

Gongshu Jin, Ying Xin, and Yu Xinghan, who were standing to the side, sighed deeply, lamenting that they couldn't hear the details that followed.

Although Yu Xinghan knew about Zhang Yu selling seeds to a professor in the Department of Pharmacology, there were details that Zhang Yu had never mentioned.

How could he not be interested in such a lucrative business?

Looking at the projected text in front of him, Yu Xinghan thought to himself, "Sigh, the poorer you are, the less you hear about how the rich make money."

The projected text beneath the silencing note read: "Pay Zhang Yu 30 spirit coins to listen to the muted content?"
Zhang Yu said, "Teacher Yin Jiu Rao paid for it..."

"Inspect the goods in person..."

"Grab it in one go..."

"Extracted in an instant..."

"This is the price of 25 spirit coins."

Zhang Yu said proudly, "If it's a Yin artifact, it will take even longer and require more effort, so the price should go up even further."

Upon hearing Zhang Yu's answer, True Monarch Tianzhang frowned inwardly.

He knew that since the other party was so frank, and even asked him to contact Yin Jiu Rao to verify the price, it was highly likely that what they were saying was not a lie.

However, the necessary verifications still need to be done.

Of course, to avoid alerting Yin Jiu Rao, Tian Zhang Zhen Jun did not directly inquire about Zhang Yu's price.

He planned to first browse through Yin Jiu Rao's latest paper to see if he could find any clues.

After all, for a professor from the Department of Pharmacology to purchase materials from Zhang Yu and even personally collect and inspect them, it must be related to the professor's research.

The other party's latest published paper is what best reflects their current research direction.

Large swaths of images and text rapidly flashed through Tianzhang Zhenjun's eyes, and in the blink of an eye, the entire paper had been scanned.

With his quick thinking and strong comprehension, he quickly finished reading Yin Jiu Rao's latest published paper.

To be honest, he didn't fully understand it.

After all, different fields are like different worlds, and it's perfectly normal that as an expert in talismans, he couldn't quickly understand the papers in the pharmacology department.

True Lord Tianzhang understands that this is no longer ancient times. Unlike in ancient times when great masters could comprehend the Dao of Immortality and easily grasp some great Dao.

The research on immortal techniques in various industries is becoming increasingly in-depth and difficult. Even university professors, despite their best efforts, can only achieve breakthroughs in some narrow areas.

If in the past, great beings and even immortals comprehended the Great Dao, each comprehension was like opening up a new peak... then the research topics of today's university professors may simply be studying why a certain blade of grass on that peak grew crooked.

It's hard to say which is better or worse. The only thing that's certain is that... research these days is no longer like it used to be, where one or two breakthroughs could bring about earth-shattering changes.

Although he couldn't fully understand many of the details, Tianzhang Zhenjun could still roughly figure out that the paper was about the study of drug adaptability, genetic material, bloodline, and some elements of immortality.

The research material came from Zhang Yu.

It is highly likely that Zhang Yu's offer to sell to Yin Jiu Rao was genuine.

Thinking to himself that this was troublesome, True Monarch Tianzhang looked at Zhang Yu and said, "25 spirit coins is too expensive. We can't afford it."

"Moreover, we don't need the products from each experiment. You can take them back yourself and sell them to whomever you want."

Zhang Yu said, "It's already out here, it's not fresh anymore, who am I supposed to buy it from?"

True Lord Tianzhang: "Maximum 3 spirit coins."

He reminded Zhang Yu, "Once our experiment begins, we'll be focusing on volume; 3 spirit coins is a lot."

Zhang Yu naturally disagreed, and after some haggling, the two sides were unable to reach an agreement.

So Tianzhang Zhenjun stopped looking at Zhang Yu and instead turned to look at Yu Xinghan beside him.

He thought to himself, "You're not the only test subject here, Zhang Yu."

The detection data from just now flashed through Tianzhang Zhenjun's mind; Yu Xinghan before him was just as outstanding as Zhang Yu.

So he put away the silence talisman and looked at Yu Xinghan, saying, "You... were you just about to quit?"

Zhang Yu didn't take it to heart. After all, there were so many testers, how could he possibly stop them from finding someone else?

Upon hearing this, Yu Xinghan was startled. Thinking of the progress Zhang Yu had just made, he suddenly stepped out from behind Ying Xin and Gongshu Jin.

Yu Xinghan said with a solemn expression, "For the sake of the school and the advancement of immortal techniques, I have an unshirkable duty."

The next moment, Tianzhang Zhenjun unleashed a burst of magical power, and the Yin artifact, which had just stopped moving, began to move again.

The woman, Qiongjiang, was still feeling uneasy about her failed job and worried that something terrible might happen.

Sensing the command of True Lord Tianzhang, she immediately sprang into action, charging towards Yu Xinghan like a mad dog. Driven by her aversion to work and fear of not working, Qiongjiang Nu forty-eight now only shows interest in simple, low-intensity tasks.

And Yu Xinghan in front of them was clearly that kind of target.

"Judging from the data, this person must also have very low resistance."

"But we must prevent accidents..."

The Yin artifact transformed into a cloud of light and mist, instantly enveloping Yu Xinghan's entire body.

This confirmed for Qiongjiang Nu Siba that the other party could not trigger the non-interference list.

"Watch me take care of him in an instant!"

As Yu Xinghan felt the light and mist enveloping his entire body, he thought proudly, "The efficiency I've honed over the years has finally come in handy."

Since selling seeds part-time during high school, Yu Xinghan has gradually honed his Dao heart, starting from being trapped by desires, until now he can finally better control his desires.

In this process, through continuous practice and learning from others, he gradually came to understand some principles.

For example, when selling seeds, with the same payment, the faster you go and the more efficient you are, the more money you can earn per unit of time.

Moreover, the faster the speed, the less time it takes, and the less likely it is to affect learning and practice.

For example, when practicing together, is it more beneficial to complete one session per hour, or to complete 10 sessions per hour?

The results are obvious.

Yu Xinghan thought to himself, "This is why we charge by the number of sessions, not by the time, when we cultivate together!"

"This is what they call breaking through all laws with speed!"

Through repeated practice and accumulation, Yu Xinghan has been striving to achieve breakthroughs in speed.

In the past, when he had high hopes for Hehuan University, he also dreamed of one day joining his companions at a gathering of a thousand fellow practitioners.

He dreamed that when Zhang Yu proudly announced that he had successfully completed five cultivation sessions at the conference, Gongshu Jin enviously said that he had only completed three, and Li Xiao felt inferior because he had not completed even one, he, Yu Xinghan, could proudly stand up and say: 10 times!
At this moment, feeling the warmth emanating from the light mist, and sensing his consciousness gradually drifting between a dream and wakefulness, Yu Xinghan thought to himself, "Zhang Yu has just made such great progress... If I could succeed a few more times, how much stronger would I become?"

Just as Yu Xinghan was lost in thought, he felt his entire body's magical power surge forth and converge towards his Yin organ.

In just a few breaths, the Nun felt that she had completely absorbed all of Yu Xinghan's magical power.

She looked at Yu Xinghan in front of her with some surprise, thinking to herself, "This guy... is so fast. Even though his resistance is low, he shouldn't be this fast."

"This is a complete release of the whole body and mind, a high degree of mental relaxation, and a sincere heart."

"This kid... perhaps through repeated self-study, has already accumulated a little bit of knowledge on the Dao of Yin and Yang."

Although Qiongjiang Nu Forty-Eight had just completed her exploration, her evaluation of Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan was very weak.

However, this weakness in resistance does not necessarily mean poor quality.

For example, Qiongjiang Nu knows that in many normal dual cultivation sessions with give and take, speed is also an extremely important factor, since being able to complete the work more efficiently within a unit of time has always been an important evaluation criterion.

However, if it's a one-sided exploitation, speed becomes even more important.

For example, Yu Xinghan in front of her was, in Qiongjiang Nu's eyes, a far superior work target than Zhang Yu.

However, this high speed is more altruistic; only when both sides work at high speed can they benefit from cooperation.

High resistance is an advantage when resisting one-sided exploitation.

Just as the goddess of the nectar was pondering, she had already completed two tasks in a row, not only devouring all of Yu Xinghan's magical power, but also swallowing a large amount of his essence blood in one gulp.

Then, the woman with the nectar returned to her original spot, satisfied, and began to process her spiritual circuits to digest her newfound wealth.

With a soft thud, to everyone's astonishment, Yu Xinghan, pale-faced and with sunken cheeks, collapsed to the ground.

Zhang Yu and the others quickly helped Yu Xinghan up, shouting, "Xinghan! Are you alright?"

Tianzhang Zhenjun, who had been observing, also showed surprise, thinking to himself, "There's no return of magical power like Zhang Yu's. Isn't this normal dual cultivation with give and take? It's just... one-sided exploitation?"

"The rules behind this... may be closely related to the insights that the Divine Lord of Qiongjiang gained into the Dao of Yin and Yang."

Just as Tianzhang Zhenjun was pondering this, he heard Zhang Yu say, "Yu Xinghan is dying, you guys need to think of something quickly."

Tianzhang Zhenjun said, "Don't worry, we will arrange a medical team to treat him."

Yu Xinghan said with difficulty, "Your experiment is too dangerous. It poses a major safety hazard to all the students being tested."

True Lord Tianzhang: "Don't worry, if you have any further questions, feel free to come to us anytime, and we will help you with them."

Yu Xinghan said, "This isn't just my problem!"

“Yes!” Zhang Yu stood beside Yu Xinghan: “This is not just Yu Xinghan’s problem.”

Upon hearing this, Gongshu Jin and Ying Xin also stood behind the two.

Looking at the civil engineering students singing in unison, Tianzhang Zhenjun said calmly, "Alright, I'll compensate you with some money."

Yu Xinghan's eyes lit up, and her previously pale face instantly became rosy: "How much compensation?"
