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

Chapter 494 The Mountain-Moving Warrior (Thanks to 'Duck Immortal Qitian' for the generous donation)
With the end of the final exams, Zhang Yu, as in previous years, achieved first place in his class, and his ranking in the Civil Engineering Department rose to 23rd in the entire department, thanks to the increase in his overall score.

So he could apply for a new scholarship loan. Being ranked first in his class and 23rd in the entire department brought him a low-interest scholarship loan of more than 20 spirit coins.

However, although Zhang Yu's income is high now, his expenses are also quite high.

For example, the manufacturing cost and maintenance cost of magical artifacts, the purchase and practice of refining blueprints, and the cultivation of refining techniques—each of these is enough to hire a considerable number of civil engineering students.

With this additional 20 spirit coins in loan, Zhang Yu's account balance is now close to 60 spirit coins.

Besides scholarships and student loans, a high ranking naturally brings other benefits, such as weekly meals and discounts on various school facilities. These are benefits that Zhang Yu has gradually gotten used to and even finds a bit stingy, but are things that other students envy immensely.

Now that he has more spirit coins in his account, Zhang Yu naturally has to use them and continue to improve his cultivation, since improving cultivation means improving his ability to make money.

"How can you improve your strength and earn more money without spending money?"

Driven by his yearning for the pinnacle of immortality, Zhang Yu once again plunged into the weapon-refining laboratory.

For him now, the primary goal of improving his strength is naturally to acquire new military-grade power, but he can only continue down this path after he switches to the weapon crafting department.

However, although we can't get the new military-grade power for the time being, in Kunxu... even if all the basic data have reached the limit of the realm, as long as we have money... we can always continue to improve our strength.

Especially for Zhang Yu, who wants to pursue the path of weapon crafting, as long as he has money... he can continuously hone his weapon crafting skills while creating more magical treasures to help him make money, thereby continuously improving his earning power and enhancing his immortal cultivation.

For example, at this very moment, on the 669th floor of the University City, Ying Xin's grandfather is leading company employees such as Zhao Tianxing and Che Yufei, controlling Zhang Yu's magic weapon to participate in the work.

Watching the Earthly Fiend Bottle continuously produce concrete under his control, Zhao Tianxing felt satisfied and thought, "I never thought that I, a junior college graduate, could now be working on projects from Wanfa University every day."

Walking through the 669-story construction site every day, especially when he was walking with other students while controlling his magic weapon, Zhao Tianxing felt as if he had become a student of Wanfa University.

Relying on his current connections in the Civil Engineering Department, as well as many of the ingenious methods he provided, Zhang Yu was able to get some simple engineering projects from construction teams within the university town even when he wasn't working.

After deducting the salaries and taxes of his employees, the mana consumption and maintenance costs of his magical artifacts, and the intermediary fees paid to Tulishan, Zhang Yu could still earn 0.1 or 0.2 spirit coins per day.

"It's a bit less... but I don't need to lift a finger!"

Whenever Zhang Yu thought about how his company employees were making money for him while he was doing experiments in the lab, and how his account balance was quietly increasing, he felt that the spirit coins were even more lucrative than what he could earn himself.

Fuki nodded in agreement, saying, "Food tastes better when you cook it yourself, but the money your employees earn tastes even better. This kind of passive income is more valuable than the active income you earn by working for someone else."

Zhang Yu nodded repeatedly: "Yes."

Fuki reminded her, "Thanks to my efforts, the company's profits have improved recently..."

Zhang Yu said, "Work hard, Mr. Fu. Once the company grows, you'll definitely benefit. I hope you can grow together with the company."

Fuki cursed inwardly, "You fucking...you just won't pay me, huh?"

……

While Zhang Yu was busy shuttling between the construction site and the laboratory every day, Jiu Tianliu from the Department of Finance added him as a friend.

Jiutianliu: Hello, Zhang Yu.

Jiutian Liu became Zhang Yu's friend through Tianzhang Zhenjun.

Looking at this top student who ranked first in the finance department and second in the entire school, Zhang Yu couldn't help but feel serious.

The last student he saw ranked this high was Yan Qianji, who was ranked 1st in the weapon crafting department and 3rd in the entire school.

Zhang Yu: Is there something wrong?

Jiutianliu: I want to rent a part of your body, just a portion. The exact amount will depend on the test results.
Zhang Yu: What do you mean?
Jiutianliu: I know this is a bit abrupt, but I'm short on time to prepare for this year's Top Ten Leagues and need to improve my cultivation level more quickly.

Jiutianliu: I think the experiment on the Yin organ by the True Lord of the Magnetic Pole is a good opportunity.
Jiutianliu: I want to rent a part of your body to take your place in the experiments.

Zhang Yu directly refused, saying: "Sorry, I'm not interested."

Zhang Yu knew he couldn't agree to that, since the experiment was meant to clear his name of his cultivation level. If he let Jiutian Liu go in his place... wouldn't the lie be exposed at any moment?

Upon seeing Zhang Yu's refusal, Jiu Tianliu's gaze flickered slightly, a hint of surprise in his eyes: "A refusal so decisively?"

Jiutianliu: Aren't you going to ask about the price?

Zhang Yu: Sorry, I'm really not interested.

Jiutianliu: Zhang Yu, I think you should think about it again.
Jiutianliu: The controversy surrounding the Yin Qi experiment is growing. While there are many advantages to being in this situation, the risks are also considerable.
Jiutian Liu: The last descent of the Jade Nectar God was just the beginning.

Jiutianliu: I think instead of continuing to take risks, you should take the money now and leave.
Before Jiutianliu could send any more messages, Zhang Yu replied again: I'm really not interested, you don't need to say anything more.

Sensing the hint of impatience in the other person's tone, Jiutianliu was slightly taken aback, then chuckled: "Hehe, this kid... is quite greedy."

"Then I'll see how long you can hold out in this position."

"If you want to back out later, the price might not be what it is now." ...

As Zhang Yu's spirit coins were consumed wave after wave, his account balance fell below 20 spirit coins.

Zhang Yu's Taiyi Golden Liquid Pill was upgraded again, and after being mixed with Qi, its power was further enhanced.

Furthermore, the Dragon Vein Forging Technique also continuously leveled up, reaching level 20, allowing the weapon-forging prodigy of the Chain Magic Diagram Set to complete the second technique.

When he tried to release his inner energy at the simulated construction site, he saw streams of golden flames pouring out, like layers of golden armor enveloping his body.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Yu's body was enveloped by a golden-armored warrior more than five meters tall.

This small giant is somewhat similar to the giant that Zhang Yu created using the three small elements, but it is more powerful and more refined. It can be considered an upgraded version of the Formless Spirit General, and Zhang Yu calls it the Mountain-Moving Warrior.

The Mountain-Moving Warrior's body was formed from a mixture of protective qi and Taiyi Golden Liquid Pill, resembling a golden puppet and radiating a metallic luster.

Beneath the outermost solid armor lies liquid armor and gaseous armor imbued with the power of the Nine Heavens Clouds, providing astonishing protective capabilities through these three states: solid, liquid, and gas.

In addition, layers of dragon scales appeared on the outermost layer of golden armor, which was reinforced with the power of the dragon vein after Zhang Yu reforged it with the level 20 Dragon Vein Forging Technique.

Under the influence of the dragon vein's power, Zhang Yu can now unleash his inner energy, not only transferring a portion of the attacks he receives to the earth, but also enhancing the buffs he receives from the formation and gaining a faster mana recovery rate within the formation.

Compared to the Formless Spirit Generals who used the Small Three Combinations to propel the mountain, the Mountain-Moving Warriors of today can use their own Qi in conjunction with the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power to propel the mountain. They no longer need to move external objects like mud, sand, and rocks, making their strength, speed, and explosive power even more terrifying.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "According to intelligence, the most powerful thing about the Civil Engineering Department of Immortal Soldier University is that giant military-grade puppet."

"It's perfect to use my Mountain-Moving Warriors to confront him head-on and prevent this giant puppet from breaking into our position."

Just then, the Magnetic True Monarch beside Zhang Yu said, "Your Dragon Vein Forging Technique is really at level 20?"

Zhang Yu quickly replied, "Yes."

Zhang Yu: "Ever since that Yin artifact experiment, I've felt an inexplicable familiarity with the Dragon Vein Forging Treasure Technique."

Zhang Yu: "Then, as I practiced, I felt faster and faster, as if I had already learned it a long time ago."

Magnetism True Lord observed the faint dragon scale patterns on Zhang Yu's Mountain-Moving Warrior and then said, "Let's test it."

The test results showed that Zhang Yu had indeed reached level 20 of the Dragon Vein Forging Technique, which amazed Magnet True Monarch.

"It's only been half a month, right? And you've already raised this weapon-refining technique to level 20?"

"It's incredible, it's incredible."

"No wonder the two Divine Lords of Hehuan University cultivated at an unbelievable speed, yet remained tight-lipped about this technique."

"It is probably through this technology that they have transferred the cultivation of countless people into their own bodies."

"Hmph, there might even be a lot of cultivation levels that are infringed upon."

In addition, Zhang Yu's Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power also successfully broke through to level 20 during laboratory testing, which surprised and delighted Tianzhang Zhenjun.

Magnetism True Lord: "Very well, the stronger you are, the better your chances of winning the competition at Immortal Soldier University tomorrow."

"Fight hard tomorrow, but be prepared to surrender at any time. Lao Gao and I will be watching your match through the spirit world."

……

the next day.

The location of Immortal Soldier University is a bottomless cave, and the entire university campus extends downwards along the cave, forming an incredibly huge underground city.

Wan Gouxuan, a student from the Civil Engineering Department of Xianbing University, and several other team members gathered together and looked at their teacher.

The teacher presented them with one artifact after another, saying, "Zhang Yu has confirmed his participation in the competition."

"Once the competition begins, when you have the chance, take turns using this body to test his physical body according to the method the professor instructed you to use, extracting all the materials that can be extracted from his body from head to toe."

Wan Gouxuan nodded confidently and said, "Don't worry, teacher. The Earth Surge God is already in peak condition. I won't give Zhang Yu any chance. I'll just rape him mercilessly."

Picking up the Dharma Body, Wan Gouxuan's mind was filled with the hatred he felt last year when Mo Shangjin had crushed his medical insurance. He thought to himself, "Mo Shangjin, the humiliation you brought me, I will repay you severely this time, leaving the mark of your crushing defeat at the Immortal Soldier University on your junior brother."

However, upon thinking of Mo Shangjin, Wan Gouxuan also voiced his concerns.

The teacher said, "Don't worry, if Mo Shangjin buys back and enters the game, someone will naturally help you improve your combat power."

"What you need to pay attention to is finding an opportunity to end all of this as quickly as possible, and not giving Zhang Yu even the slightest chance to surrender."
