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

Chapter 575 The Experience of Magnetic Pole (Thanks to 'If We Were to Drink Ice Cream Together' for the generous donation)
On the street, the four large characters "Magnetic Pole True Lord" slowly floated in the air, and together with Zhang Yu beside him, they walked towards the laboratory.

Looking at the projection of Magnet Lord Zhenjun beside him, Zhang Yu asked, "Teacher, do you know the result of the competition?"

Magnetism True Lord nodded: "After the results came out, String Sound True Lord told me about them."

"Let's talk about the questions for this test."

Zhang Yu immediately explained the content of the assigned topic.

Magnet Lord asked again, "Do you still have your design drawings? Let me see them."

After receiving the file sent by Zhang Yu, Magnetism True Monarch glanced at it and said with some emotion, "No wonder everyone thought it was the magic weapon design experience I passed on to you."

Magnetism True Lord looked at Zhang Yu and said, "You've studied my work quite a bit, haven't you?"

As the person in charge of the Divine Transformation Body Project, Zhang Yu's teacher, Magnetism True Lord, naturally understood that she absolutely had not passed on her experience in designing magical artifacts to Zhang Yu.

Through his understanding of the various experimental records and weapon-refining logs in Ye Xingli's laboratory, Magnet True Monarch watched Zhang Yu progress step by step on the path of weapon refining.

Although the pace of progress was fast, every step was taken solidly and without missing a single one.

Magnetism True Monarch originally thought that Zhang Yu would have to walk a long way just to reach the path of the Heavenly Sun God, but the speed of his progress far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu nodded and said, "The teacher's design is so good that I can't help but want to learn more from it, and I often unconsciously imitate it."

“So what if we copied it? Don’t call it imitation.” Magnetism True Monarch said, “Remember this: weapon crafting requires copying, and even the path of immortality requires copying. All learning and cultivation begin with copying.”

"You have to keep copying and copying. The more you copy, the more profound your knowledge becomes and the more solid your foundation becomes. Only then can you gradually develop your own unique style."

"If you don't plagiarize and rely entirely on your own ideas, you'll be like a rootless duckweed, never able to go very far."

After offering a few casual pointers, Magnetism True Monarch added, "Recently, the project on the Nascent Soul Reincarnation has made some breakthroughs, and memory exchange experiments have already begun."

Zhang Yu's gaze sharpened, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.

Magnet True Lord continued, "Now everyone outside is saying that the reason you achieved this success in magic weapon design is because I used you as an experiment and transferred my magic weapon design experience into your mind."

If someone asks you to confirm this, neither admit it nor deny it.

"If you really have to answer, you can say that I transferred some of my magic weapon design experience into the Nascent Soul Dharma Body, and you then obtained that experience from the Nascent Soul Dharma Body."

Zhang Yu's heart skipped a beat, wondering if they were trying to hype up the project.
Magnetism True Lord continued, "I know that saying this might cause you a lot of trouble."

"But for the sake of the project, I'll have to ask you to make this difficult."

"But don't worry, your teacher will not treat you badly in the future."

Zhang Yu said, "I'll listen to my teacher."

Magnetism True Lord smiled with satisfaction and said, "Alright, are you going to the design competition awards ceremony?"

Zhang Yu shook his head: "Find someone to accept the award for me. I have too much work to do, so I'd better not go out."

Magnetism True Monarch nodded: "There's really no point in going to the awards ceremony. Now that you've won first place in the design competition, your Class B military weapon forging certificate will be issued soon. Have you decided which cultivation technique to practice first?"

Zhang Yu's gaze sharpened, and he said solemnly, "This disciple wishes to choose the book 'The Formless Heart Weapon of Heaven and Earth's Destruction'."

"This one?" Magnetism True Monarch's heart stirred, and he said, "It seems you still want to participate in the Top Ten Leagues."

Magnet True Lord understood that compared to the "Great Void Divine Artifact Strategy" which enhances weapon-refining abilities, the main power of the "Heaven and Earth Calamity Formless Heart Weapon" lies in its ability to control magical treasures. It is also a technique more suitable for participating in competitions and for using to fight against others.

Zhang Yu nodded and said earnestly, "This disciple would like to give it a try."

Magnetism True Lord said, "I understand. I will send you the cultivation technique after I obtain the military certificate."

"But you must understand that if you want to participate in this year's Top Ten Leagues, you must at least push the 'Heaven and Earth Destruction Formless Heart Weapon' to level 11 before the registration deadline in July."

"There are only two months left now."

Zhang Yu continued, "This disciple will do his best to try."

Magnetism True Lord then asked, "Cultivating the 'Heaven and Earth Calamity Formless Heart Weapon' requires a lot of spirit coins. You also need to refine the Taihao Sacred Law Sword Formation. Do you have enough funds?"

While Zhang Yu and Magnetism True Monarch were talking, Ink Fiend True Monarch followed them from a distance, his face showing both tension and anxiety.

After finally seeing the projection of Magnetism True Monarch disappear, he rushed up and smiled at Zhang Yu, saying, "Zhang Yu, let's talk."

Zhang Yu said, "I'm very busy and don't have time to talk right now."

"It's alright, it's alright," Master Mo Sha said with a smile. "Let's talk as we walk."

As they spoke, Mo Sha Zhenren's figure shrank continuously, becoming shorter than Zhang Yu, closely following behind Zhang Yu and moving forward with him.

Seeing a Golden Core cultivator speaking to him like this, Zhang Yu could no longer refuse with a cold face, and could only helplessly say, "Please speak."

Master Mo Sha smiled and said, "It's about the design drawings. Your entry for the competition, as well as the design drawings you discussed with Ye Xingli before, the school wants to buy them at a high price." "You can give me a price, and I'll take it to the leaders to discuss it. I'll definitely make you satisfied."

Listening to Mo Sha Zhenren's words, Fu Ji said in Zhang Yu's mind, "This old guy is obviously suspicious."

"Moreover, Zhang Yu, now that you've gotten first place among the top 100 schools, other companies might come to you to buy your patents."

"I think you should wait a bit longer. It would be best to wait for several companies to compete with each other so that you can sell it at a higher price."

Zhang Yu agreed with what Fu Ji said, and so he casually responded to what Mo Sha Zhenren said next.

However, upon arriving at the laboratory, Zhang Yu discovered that Master Mo Sha still showed no sign of leaving.

"It's alright, it's alright." Master Mo Sha said with a smile, "I'll just wait outside. If you have any questions, Zhang Yu, feel free to ask me anytime."

As they were talking, a deliveryman arrived at the laboratory entrance and handed the package to Mo Sha Zhenren.

Master Mo Sha quickly opened the package and handed the gourd inside to Zhang Yu: "This is the Heavenly Pool Spirit Liquid from Tianquan Mountain. It can be used to make tea, which can sharpen hearing and vision, and relieve mental fatigue. It is most suitable for drinking when conducting experiments. Several True Monarchs in the Weapon Refining Department love to drink this."

"However, most of the spiritual liquid was transported to the upper level, and not much was left behind."

Zhang Yu's heart stirred; this thing seemed to be of some help to his current decline in Dao heart and exhaustion of inspiration.

But considering the other party's unknown motives, Zhang Yu still declined several times, finally saying, "Even if I accept it, it doesn't mean I've agreed to anything you asked."

Master Mo Sha said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. This is just a token of our investment management department's goodwill. Providing the best cultivation environment for outstanding students is what we should do."

Seeing the Golden Core cultivator speaking so softly, Zhang Yu couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration.

Zhang Yu took the gourd back to the laboratory. He planned to use the laboratory equipment to check it first, then give a few assistants a sip to make sure there were no problems before taking it himself.

As Master Mo Sha watched Zhang Yu's departing figure, he felt no anger at having to humble himself before a Foundation Establishment student.

"For spirit coins, for performance targets... what's the big deal about Golden Core cultivators trying to seduce Foundation Establishment cultivators?"

Master Mo Sha thought to himself, "As long as you earn enough, even if you're only at the Qi Refining stage or a college graduate, you'll still fawn over them, right?"

For him, a teacher in the investment management department, these things were nothing.

Moreover, in his eyes, Zhang Yu was not an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, but the 19th in the entire school, who won first place in the Magic Weapon Design Competition among all schools.

If kowtowing could secure a contract, he would have just kowtowed to the other party.

However, based on Master Mo Sha's experience, doing so often backfires.

That's right, he really did stumble when he was young and naive.

Just then, Taihe Zhenjun sent a message: How is it?

Taihe Zhenjun: Yunyang Zhenren and I are almost finished with our meal.
Master Mo Sha: It will take some more time.
Taihe Zhenjun raised his head and looked at Yunyang Zhenren in front of him, and said with a smile: "It's rare for you to come to our Wanfa, you must try our new specialty dishes. They are made with the meat of the newly introduced demons. Have you ever had the big plate of demon meat? It improves your physique, enhances your cultivation, and the taste is absolutely amazing..."

Looking at the tightly closed laboratory door, Master Mo Sha thought to himself, "Time is running out. It seems I have to find another way."

……

As soon as Zhang Yu entered the laboratory, the change in the ranking above his head immediately caught the attention of his assistant.

Zi Yunzhen kept staring at the number 19 on Zhang Yu's head, making Zhang Yu unable to help but say, "If you have something to say, just ask quickly, and then get back to work."

Zi Yunzhen quickly said, "Boss, why did your ranking rise so much? Did the design competition results come out?"

Zhang Yu nodded and said casually, "Yeah, it seems like I got first place, so I got more overall points."

"First?!" Su Yunni exclaimed in surprise. "Boss, can I see your design drawings?"

Looking at the expectant faces of his two assistants, Zhang Yu knew that if he didn't show it to them, they probably wouldn't be able to concentrate on their lab work.

Moreover, seeing this would also help him establish the authority of the laboratory, motivate his assistants, and perhaps even if his salary is reduced in the future, they won't be driven away.

Although Zhang Yu hadn't considered cutting salaries, it would always be good to boost his assistants' enthusiasm.

Upon receiving the design drawings from Zhang Yu, the three assistants immediately began to examine them.

The more Zi Yunzhen looked, the more she felt her Dao heart shattering, because she discovered that there were many parts she simply couldn't understand.

"Has the gap already become this large?"

At this moment, Zi Yun was just like someone who had finally managed to snatch a peerless martial arts manual, or someone who found a top student's math manuscript before the college entrance exam, only to discover that she couldn't understand it at all, and the answers were useless even when placed in front of her.

While the assistants were studying Zhang Yu's blueprints, more and more people sent messages to Zhang Yu.

Director Gao: You won first place in the design competition?

Director Gao: Has the experiment really yielded results?
