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

Chapter 563 Enlightenment in College (Thanks to 'Osmanthus and Wine' for becoming the Alliance Leader)
This is Bao Biao, a freshman majoring in security at a junior college.

As a college student, Bao Biao seemed to have a different kind of confidence in front of the film crew's camera than other college students.

During filming, he insisted that the crew call him a college student.

"Whether according to the law or school regulations, we junior college students are a type of university student."

"Did you know? We can call ourselves college students; it's something even the Heavenly Court allows."

"My dream? It's to work for a company with great benefits."

"This company should at least provide bottled water, subsidies for spiritual energy, and the ability to work overtime 24 hours a day and provide medicine, so that I can stay awake for free."

"I need to be able to move around freely while at work, and it would be best if there were toilets available, so I can save on renovation costs."

"I know it's not easy to find a job these days where I can drink clean water, use the restroom, and not have to sleep. Many people say I'm too demanding... But I am a college student, not a vocational school student or technical school student. I think college students should have some aspirations."

In order to find his dream job, Bao Biao studied diligently every day on campus, and even registered for the Foundation Building Examination in his first year of junior college.

Although he failed the exam, Bao Biao was very confident.

When asked by the director, Bao Biao told him that he felt he was just unprepared in the first year and that he would still have a chance to obtain the Foundation Establishment Certificate in the remaining years.

When the film crew saw Bao Biao again a month later, they found that the once spirited college student had become dejected and lost.

"I haven't slept for seven whole days."

On camera, the college student kept complaining to the film crew and repeatedly expressed his suspicion that a nearby pharmaceutical factory had polluted the school's water source, making it easier for students to fall asleep, in order to sell more drugs.

However, Bao Biao still seemed excited when the topic of his studies came up.

"In the last exam, I was able to take down a tenant in 3 seconds, chase away a food delivery person in 5 seconds, and escape unscathed from a criminal in 0.5 seconds."

"My teacher said I looked like I had worked in security for 10 years."

A month later, when the film crew went to Bao Biao's dormitory again, they were told by his roommate that Bao Biao was no longer there.

"Gone" means...?

"He bumped into the colonel's senior, damaged someone's magical artifact, and was captured and turned into a living soul..."

The film crew felt helpless because of Bao Biao's disappearance, but they understood that this was the way of college students. A clash between college students, a company mistake, a school's negligence, or a stock price fluctuation could all lead to the rise and fall of college students.

The film crew had to pause filming Bao Biao and begin recording the next college student.

……

Zhang Yu withdrew his gaze and looked at the title of the script: One Hundred Ways for College Students to Die.
"Is this really a documentary?"

Thinking about having to imagine hundreds of different ways college students could die, Zhang Yu couldn't help but hesitate: "It's a bit masochistic."

His gaze shifted, and he looked at the next simulated scenario.

This time, there is not only a written introduction, but also some video clips.

The protagonist is a college student studying logistics management...

……

During my three years of high school, my family's money was only enough for one person to attend tutoring classes.

Between his brother and Amin, the father chose his brother.

Amin, who couldn't afford tutoring, saw his grades plummet in high school, landing him at the bottom of the social hierarchy. He had to eat in the toilet, attend classes on his knees, have his homework stolen, and suffer endless humiliation.

After the college entrance examination, Amin left home with his college admission notice.

On the way home, the father looked at the other person with a complicated expression: "Amin..."

"Amin went to college! You chose it, didn't you, Dad!"

Do you know how I spent my three years of high school?

He left without looking back, constantly telling himself that he would transfer to a four-year university, that he would get into a four-year university, that he would find a better job than his brother, and that he would prove his father had made the wrong choice!

On his way to school, Amin remembered the changes in everyone's expression upon learning he was a junior college student, the passages junior college students couldn't use, the areas junior college students couldn't go to, the warnings that only junior college students could see, and the fact that junior college students couldn't ride the same airship as university students...

He memorized each and every humiliation.

He repeatedly told himself that it was not shameful to go to a junior college, but it was shameful to go to a vocational high school.

He told himself that junior colleges are all earned through merit, and there's only one path to junior college: the national college entrance examination. Unlike universities, which have back doors and are often entered through various crooked means.

During his eight years of college, he surpassed one competitor after another who ranked above him.

These college students are all so hardworking, constantly taking out loans, and all of them are drowning in debt...

As Amin surpassed them one by one, he sometimes couldn't tell them apart, as if they were all cut from the same mold.

And whenever he surpasses one of them, he always finds countless similar college students above them.

It's like a road that never ends; no matter how hard Amin runs, he can't see the end.

Even by the time he graduated, Amin hadn't succeeded in transferring to a four-year university program. He decided to focus on finding a job.

He meticulously prepared his resume and made contingency plans for all possible situations that might arise during the interview.

Then Amin discovered that the jobs he could find didn't require an interview, and if you went early, you could start work on the same day.

In just one year, Amin's loans did not decrease, nor did his savings increase. His daily work was like being on a treadmill... always stuck in the same place.

"Ha... Going to a junior college means you'll never amount to anything."

He thought he would remain stagnant for the rest of his life, never able to catch up with college students, but unexpectedly, a file download error led him to download the remnant soul of an immortal.

……

Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback when he saw this, and then looked at the episode titles and introductions below the script.

……

The grand finale: The Celestial Emperor grants special permission! He can now pursue a bachelor's degree! He finally becomes a university student!
Looking at the episode titles, Zhang Yu smirked, thinking to himself, "A college student wish fulfillment drama, huh?"

"I'm here to gather real information about college students, not to play around."

"And it doesn't feel good either."

Zhang Yu shook his head and looked at the next series of scripts, including "A College Romance," "A Non-Standard College Life," "Call Me a College Student," and "A Millionaire in a College Slum"...

Zhang Yu felt increasingly uneasy as he looked at them: "These are all too entertaining and lack authenticity."

He went back to the front, feeling that he should experience the most realistic college student scenario.

Watching the story of Xiaoming and Xiaohong studying in the Department of Moral Education at a junior college, Zhang Yu felt that this story was more realistic.

Wearing a spirit mask, communicate with the spirit world through your thoughts...

A moment later, Zhang Yu removed his mask, revealing a hint of world-weariness in his eyes. His gaze exuded an unprecedented maturity and wisdom, like that of a wise man who had seen it all and witnessed the vicissitudes of life.

Fuki asked curiously, "How did it go?"

Zhang Yu sighed, “It turns out that there was a sect in ancient times called Taishangdao, which followed the path of detachment from worldly affairs. It required abandoning one’s family and ultimately regarding all living beings as mere straw dogs.”

"But the cultivation method of the Supreme Dao is too difficult. At that time, people's thinking was limited by the influence of the times, and it was difficult for them to abandon their families. Only one in ten cultivators succeeded, and the failure rate was too high."

"Therefore, a senior master reorganized the cultivation method of the Supreme Dao and arranged it from simple to difficult, so that people could gradually complete the Supreme Dao of Forgetfulness."

Zhang Yu spoke eloquently: "The first step is to watch others forcibly cultivate their own Daoist partners."

"To increase the difficulty to another level, it is to watch someone forcibly repair one's own father."

"Take one step at a time until you can see the whole family practicing in front of a cultivator and be indifferent, with your heart as cold as ashes, and you will reach the supreme state of detachment from worldly desires."

"This entire set of cultivation methods can be described as taking one step at a time, without having to abandon one's family right away. It can progress from simple to difficult, allowing a person to gradually cultivate the Supreme Way of Forgetfulness, which can be considered a great innovation in the world of immortals."

"But this is just the beginning..."

Zhang Yu sighed and continued, "Later, the Hehuan Sect merged with the Taishang Dao, taking its essence and discarding its dross, and further improved this cultivation method."

"Using a family to cultivate one person is too inefficient and the cost-benefit ratio is too high."

"But what if the entire family, young and old, are practitioners of the Supreme Being, free from all emotions?"

"Then everyone in the family is a resource for the spiritual practice of others."

“Every time you engage in intensive cultivation, it can become nourishment for the immortal path for everyone in your family.”

"With this one change, the Hehuan Sect increased the number of people who could cultivate this method by more than tenfold, and even created the Path of Passion with this method."

"The so-called path of Qiongjiang Shenjun of Hehuan University is to forget love only after experiencing it, and to be passionate only after forgetting love. This is the path that Qiongjiang Shenjun of Hehuan University is following, which is called the Supreme Path of Passion."

Fuki said, "I didn't realize you learned so much from simulating the life of a college student."

"That's a lot?" Zhang Yu smiled slightly and said, "There's more."

"While the Supreme Path of Passion has greatly improved the efficiency of talent cultivation, it still has its shortcomings. After all, not everyone has a firm Daoist heart, and even if a path from simple to difficult is provided, not everyone can pass through it smoothly..."
