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

Chapter 508 Finance is Finance, and all laws are all laws (Thanks to 'Little Mo Who Works Hard to Make Money' for the generous donation)
Magnet Lord: "Loans are originally intended to meet the funding needs of various departments for expanded reproduction, but some people have treated them as their own personal money bags..."

Chain Pivot True Monarch snorted coldly: "Magnetic poles! All you departments know is how to blindly expand, and when you lose money, you expect the school to subsidize you. Isn't it us, the Finance Department, who's trying to make up for the deficit? Who's only thinking about their own pockets? Who's thinking about the school, about the myriad laws?"

"I just don't understand. The Finance Department has devoted itself to the school, working tirelessly and spending countless spirit coins to subsidize you. How come the more money they spend, the more grievances they suffer?"

As the True Lord of Magnetic Pole and the True Lord of Chain Pivot clashed head-on, the spirit realm resounded with light and shadow.

The Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Tower suppressed the information of the spirit world, freezing the originally freely flowing information like amber.

On the other side, spirit coins roared, and vast swathes of the spirit world network were directly contracted out, causing spirit world traffic costs to skyrocket.

As the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Tower and countless spirit coins shone in harmony, they resembled ice and fire, each occupying half of the banquet hall.

Once inside, everyone felt that their thoughts could no longer move even slightly in the spirit world, and they could not send or receive any messages to the outside world.

No one dared to resist at this point.

Watching the conflict between the weapon crafting and finance departments, they all remained silent, afraid of making any unnecessary noise that might attract the attention of these two top-tier professionals.

Just then, layers of clouds emerged from the spirit realm, and everyone felt as if they had been suddenly pulled from the banquet hall to a height of tens of thousands of meters, with their feet treading on layers of clouds.

At the same time, True Monarch Qiyun coughed lightly, and a lightning-fast gaze swept towards True Monarch Ciji and True Monarch Lian Shu from the spiritual realm projection formed by clouds and mist.

Qiyun Zhenjun: "Alright, this is a celebration banquet for the Department of Civil Engineering. What kind of behavior is this, with you two making such a racket? Speak your mind and don't resort to violence."

Looking at his data usage bill, Qiyun Zhenjun thought to himself that the aftermath of those two guys' fight had caused his data charges to skyrocket.

After all, while the other teachers and students present could temporarily cut off communication with the outside world, he, as the vice principal and a projection of the spirit world, could not sever communication for even a second.

Meanwhile, deep within the spirit realm, the old director stared at the disconnected spirit realm projection and cursed inwardly, "Who paid for the internet upgrade?"

He messaged Su Yanyang: How's it going on site?

On the other side, True Monarch Chain Pivot nodded slightly: "The principal is right, Magnetic Pole, I won't stoop to your level today."

Magnetism True Lord: "Heh."

After saying that, True Monarch Lian Shu looked at Zhang Yu and said calmly, "Student Zhang Yu, you don't need to rush to give me an answer."

He opened his palm, and rays of light from the spirit world seemed to travel from afar, forming a glittering golden card in his hand.

"This is an invitation letter that I just had the Golden Palace God Lord sign, inviting you to visit the Department of Finance."

Feeling the intense gaze of True Monarch Lian Shu, Zhang Yu wanted to refuse again, but then he felt a hand press on his shoulder.

Then, the message from Director Gao appeared in his eyes: Don't offend him too much, it will be detrimental to your future path to immortality at Wanfa University.
At the same time, Director Gao sighed inwardly, "If it were just for Zhang Yu himself, it wouldn't be this serious... So it really is about the Nascent Soul Body, right?"

Seeing the invitation from not far away, True Monarch Qiyun frowned slightly, but still said, "Zhang Yu, since it's an invitation signed by a Divine Monarch, you should accept it."

As everyone present looked at the projection of the invitation in the hands of True Lord Lian Shu, they felt increasingly surprised, as if none of them had expected that he would actually obtain an invitation signed by a divine lord.

Everyone sensed that True Lord Lian Shu was determined to obtain Zhang Yu this time.

As Lian Shu Zhenjun watched Zhang Yu accept the invitation through his eye fragment, he smiled slightly and said, "After receiving the invitation, your will can travel directly to the Finance Department through the Spirit Realm. All expenses will be reimbursed by the Finance Department, so you won't have to pay a single penny..."

As the invitation shattered piece by piece, the world before Zhang Yu's eyes shook, and the entire world underwent violent changes.

The next moment, his thoughts seemed to have already rushed through the spirit world and headed towards the finance department.

……

Zhang Yu opened his eyes, looking at the somewhat familiar surroundings and the ground paved with spirit stones beneath his feet. He thought to himself, "The Finance Department?"

This wasn't Zhang Yu's first time visiting the Finance Department, so he recognized some of the surroundings.

At the same time, a person appeared in front of Zhang Yu. It was Jiu Tianliu, the strongest student in the Department of Finance and ranked second in the whole school.

Upon seeing Zhang Yu appear, Jiu Tianliu smiled slightly and said, "Zhang Yu, it's been a long time. Today, I'll show you around the Department of Finance."

After saying that, Jiutianliu didn't care about Zhang Yu's reaction and led Zhang Yu into the depths of the finance department.

"This is a cryptocurrency exchange center. Want to play a couple of rounds?"

"Here's 10 spirit coins for you. If you lose, it's on me; if you win, it's on you. There's a good opportunity today. If you buy according to my instructions, you should be able to earn a few spirit coins in ten minutes without much trouble."

Although Zhang Yu did not participate, he was still moved as he watched Jiu Tianliu earn several spirit coins through his actions.

When he saw the traders around him trading hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of spirit coins, he felt extremely complicated.

Sensing the change in Zhang Yu's expression, Jiu Tianliu smiled slightly and said, "When I first visited Wanfa University in high school, what impressed me most was the trading center."

"You know that feeling, right?" "Especially when someone works hard every month and only earns a dozen or so spirit coins, when he comes here and sees the traders here making hundreds or even thousands of spirit coins in profit or loss every day with just a few simple operations, he will feel... that money is not money."

Jiutianliu sighed, "I even have a feeling that all this hard work is really meaningful. A lifetime of hard work may not be as valuable as a single investment fluctuation for someone else."

"If you ask me, this feeling is correct."

"On the path to immortality, there are two kinds of people."

"Some people believe that by working overtime and being diligent, they can gradually advance on the path to immortality."

"There is another type of person who doesn't need to work hard or worry about their meager monthly salary. As long as they use their brains, they can make spirit coins generate more spirit coins and run faster and faster on the path to immortality."

"The former is called a fool, the latter a wise person."

Then Jiutianliu led Zhang Yu to another hall.

"This is the Qi Luck Monitoring Center. The entire Wanfa University, and even most of the second floor of Kunxu, are interwoven with countless intelligence and information. The big data of all people with profound Qi Luck can be monitored here."

"If we are willing, we can gather our luck onto anyone and make a junior college student rise step by step, all the way to a bachelor's degree, and finally become the most noble and talented student among the top ten."

"It is also possible to extract the luck from some of the geniuses, so that they can upgrade from a bachelor's degree to a junior college degree, becoming the most lowly and useless junior college students."

At the same time, images of various cases appeared around Jiutianliu.

It is the ups and downs of each student's life.

But their lives, now in Jiutianliu's hands, are like stock prices, rising or falling with every move by the financial sector, creating wave after wave of profits for the financial sector.

Then Jiutianliu led Zhang Yu to an exhibition hall.

The exterior of the exhibition hall features huge floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of the vast medicinal herb fields, stretching from the horizon to the very edge of the sky.

Within the university campus of Wanfa University, it is difficult to see the real world outside. Even Zhang Yu can only see the outside world when he is on the top floor of the construction site.

This is the first time he has stood inside the university town and seen the vast land outside.

Jiutianliu smiled faintly and said, "How is it? Doesn't the view of the world from here look a little different?"

Zhang Yu calmly replied, "It's about the same as what I saw from the rooftop."

Jiutian Liu smiled nonchalantly and led Zhang Yu to continue browsing the exhibition hall in front of them.

He explained, "Actually, the history of our finance department is even longer than that of Wanfa University itself."

"And the finance department is not just the finance department of Wanfa University, or even just the finance department."

“Long before the establishment of Wanfa University, the various financial companies that were the predecessors of the Finance Department had already existed for a long time.”

“In earlier history, we were aristocratic families, officials, hermits, and even royalty.”

“In ancient times, we manipulated sects and played with fate, witnessing the fall and rise of countless sects.”

“In the feudal era, we invested in promising forces, manipulated wars and the course of history, and determined the rise and fall of countless dynasties.”

"Now, we span all walks of life and all schools. Our power is everywhere, determining the future of countless people in Kunxu."

Jiutianliu led Zhang Yu to a huge portrait. Looking at the majestic figures in the portrait, he introduced, "This is the Kunlun Industrial Research Institute, established by the finance departments of various universities, or Kunlun Association for short."

"Besides our school's Golden Palace Divine Lord, there are a total of seven other divine lords from other schools participating."

“Zhang Yu, perhaps you used to think that a school is just a school, and that everything at Wanfa University is about respecting the school.”

"But I can tell you that the power of spirit coins can overcome the barriers between schools, and even the barriers between sects."

"Finance is finance, and all laws are all laws."

Jiutianliu turned to look at Zhang Yu and said with a slight smile, "Do you want to be a fool who toils on construction sites for the rest of your life, or works overtime in the refining department's laboratory for the rest of your life? Or do you want to learn to use your brain, become a smart person, make money from money, and earn more spirit coins than you could ever earn in the refining or civil engineering departments in your entire life?"

Feeling Zhang Yu's gaze, Jiu Tianliu shook his head and said, "It's no big secret that you want to transfer to the weapon refining department. I know it, and so does Director Gao."

Zhang Yu suddenly asked, "You guys are so powerful, can you let me join the sect?"

Looking at the silent Jiutianliu in front of him, Zhang Yu laughed and said, "It seems that the Finance Department is not as powerful as you guys make it out to be."

Jiutianliu said coldly, "It's not that the finance department is incompetent, it's that you are. Sect matters are not something someone of your status should be concerned with."
