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

Chapter 785 The Myriad Laws Immortal Clan (Thanks to "Night's Y" for the generous donation to the Alliance Master)
Upon seeing the Dao Seed of the [Myriad Laws Immortal Clan], Zhang Yu was shaken.

"finally come!"

"It wasn't for nothing that I've been fawning over Bu Yingshu for so long these past few days; this seed has finally been opened."

Thinking about how he risked fines, debts, and even the possibility of being forced to start over every day just to get close to the other party, which finally allowed the fleeting Dao Seed to become firmly established, Zhang Yu couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"In the end, all my hard work was not in vain."

"Let me see how to activate this [Myriad Laws Immortal Clan]."

A moment later, Zhang Yu sensed the profound aura emanating from the Dao Seed, his eyes flickered, and he thought to himself, "So that's how it is... Do I need to refine immortal techniques?"

In Zhang Yu's perception, he needed to work with Bu Yingshu to refine the immortal techniques of 10 basic cultivation methods in order to replicate the Dao Seed [Myriad Laws Immortal Clan].

In Zhang Yu's view, the so-called refinement of immortal techniques simply means listing out the immortal techniques contained in the cultivation method.

This process does not require that the basic techniques being refined be learned by oneself.

For Zhang Yu, extracting immortal techniques from the basic cultivation methods he already possessed would be a piece of cake.

But the problem is...

"I want to be with Bu Yingshu."

Zhang Yu glanced at Bu Yingshu, who was conducting experiments on Zheng Meng, and thought to himself, "Bu Yingshu has been busy dismantling the Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred View, a sect-level martial art, every day. How could he possibly be dismantling a basic martial art with me?"

If it were a different colleague or classmate, Zhang Yu might have directly pulled them together to refine immortal techniques and started copying the Dao seed.

But after spending these days with this noble lady from the immortal clan, Zhang Yu gradually figured out some of her temperament and habits.

“Stubborn and willful… If I, a level 2 clan affairs officer, dare to offer her suggestions, she will see it as meddling and will definitely get angry.”

Anger itself isn't scary; what Zhang Yu worries about is the other party venting their anger on a small, capricious act of power. For example, getting him fined a few coins would leave Zhang Yu with a bitter pill to swallow.

Of course, an even worse scenario would be if Bu Yingshu completely refused to refine the basic cultivation technique with Zhang Yu. In that case, they would have to beg him to agree again, and who knows how long it would take to activate the Dao Seed.

"We can't just tell her to go and dismantle the basic techniques together; we have to find a different way to put it."

Zhang Yu pondered for a moment, but instead of rushing, he quietly waited for an opportunity.

Two days later, with another burst of blood mist erupting from Zheng Meng's body, Bu Yingshu's experiment failed once again.

Bu Ying Shu frowned, constantly reviewing the data and operations, trying to figure out where the problem was.

As Bu Yingshu frowned, the atmosphere in the laboratory became increasingly oppressive. Zheng Meng lay quietly on the experimental table, not even daring to receive treatment, for fear that her recovery would affect Bu Yingshu's experiment.

Just then, Zhang Yu said, "Daoist Master, I have encountered some difficulties in my martial arts practice these past few days. I wonder if you could give me some pointers?"

Bu Yingshu gave Zhang Yu a strange look, as if to say, "Do you want me to give you pointers? Where do you get the nerve?"

Zhang Yu continued, "These past few days, following Daojun, I have deeply felt the profound foundation of the Immortal Clan. The aura you possess, inherited from the immortals, and your extraordinary talent, reflected in your understanding of martial arts, are simply beyond the reach of us lower cultivators."

"I'm afraid that in the following experiments, we will hold you back and make it take longer for you to complete the review. If that happens and it delays your important matters, we will be held accountable even if we die a thousand deaths."

"That's why we wanted to ask you, Daoist Master, for some guidance and give us a chance to follow your line of thought more closely."

Bu Yingshu sensed Zhang Yu's longing gaze and guessed that he probably still wanted to ejaculate upwards.

But Bu Yingshu wasn't averse to this. In such a large sect as Wanfa Sect, who among the leaders of the upper cultivation didn't have a few people who wanted to promote their subordinates? If you didn't even dare to think about it, then you weren't cut out for promotion.

After listening to Zhang Yu's words, Bu Yingshu looked at Zheng Meng, who was covered in blood, and thought to himself, "That's it... Could it be that my repeated failures these past few days have been dragged down by this lower-level cultivator?"

"Perhaps... I should indeed give them some pointers, lest I delay my plans."

Over the past few days, Zhang Yu has indeed figured out a lot about Bu Yingshu's personality and also understands Bu Yingshu's biggest goal now.

Or rather, Bu Yingshu simply didn't bother to hide either of these aspects.

For her, expressing her needs and having the world around her cooperate is the normal behavior pattern.

Bu Yingshu's biggest purpose and strongest desire for this trip was to push for the approval of "Blood Tide Essence Holy Temple".

Zhang Yu's way of speaking and his words of seeking guidance also sounded quite agreeable to Bu Yingshu.

Looking at Zhang Yu, who was "begging" him, Bu Yingshu raised his chin and reluctantly agreed, "Alright, I'll give you a few pointers. Zheng Meng, what are you still lying down for? Get up and listen with us."

So Zhang Yu took out a basic technique from a derivative cultivation method, and while demonstrating it, he explained his understanding and described the immortal techniques contained in the technique.

However, he would always throw out some well-timed thoughts on these technologies during his narration, allowing Bu Ying Shushun to offer some pointers.

These questions were carefully selected by Zhang Yu and Zhan Xian, so that Bu Ying Shu could immediately tell that Zhang Yu had these problems because his cultivation level was insufficient.

After giving some guidance, Bu Yingshu commented, "You are only at the Nascent Soul stage now, and you don't have a high enough perspective to see many problems clearly. If you can advance to the Divine Transformation stage and cultivate these martial arts to level 50, these problems will be easily solved."

Zhang Yu said gratefully, "I have benefited greatly from your guidance today. After returning, I will study under you and refine all the immortal techniques of this cultivation method."

Zheng Meng, who was standing to the side, became more and more surprised as she listened to their conversation.

These days, she would lie on the lab table every time she came over, and she didn't understand Zhang Yu's martial arts demonstration.

Seeing Zhang Yu's demonstration and explanation, Zheng Meng exclaimed in surprise, "Zhang Yu... he's cultivated the derivative technique to level 40?!"

At this moment, Zheng Meng finally understood the gap between herself and Zhang Yu, and why they were treated differently.

That evening, Zhang Yu wrote a study report and sent it to Bu Yingshu.

Bu Yingshu glanced at the report Zhang Yu sent, much like a client reviewing a multi-revised proposal from an outsourced contractor, and finally replied: "Not bad."
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Good my ass! You really think you're the one guiding me? I'm the one giving you a great opportunity and helping you upgrade your Dao Seed."

Zhang Yu nervously opened the Feather Book, turned to the Dao Seed Register, and sensed the Dao Seed information recorded within.

"It's done." Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "Sure enough, today's operation can be considered as Bu Yingshu and I completing the refinement of a basic technique."

So for the next few days, Zhang Yu would seize every opportunity to ask Bu Yingshu for "guidance" and then write a report on refining immortal techniques and send it to her.

1 door... 2 doors... 3 doors...

Zhang Yu continued to accumulate the number of completed techniques, feeling himself getting closer and closer to replicating the Dao Seed. Unknowingly, he had already completed the refinement of 6 basic techniques.

However, things didn't go smoothly.

At first, Bu Yingshu felt that Zhang Yu's licking was quite comfortable, and was relatively willing to give guidance.

But as time went by, the experiment yielded no results, and Bu Yingshu became increasingly anxious and impatient with Zhang Yu's guidance.

Zhang Yu could only try his best to endure it, and he became increasingly careful with his words, trying not to offend the other party.

But on this day, Bu Yingshu interrupted Zhang Yu's speech with a single word of 'shut up'.

Then she abandoned Zheng Meng, who was covered in blood, on the lab table, walked to another blank lab table, and, as if pointing to a bed, said, "Lie down on that."

"What's meant to happen will happen eventually," Zhang Yu sighed inwardly, and lay down.

With a light tap of her fingertips, Bu Yingshu had already activated the circulation of Qi and magic power within Zhang Yu's body, attempting to apply the immortal techniques she had extracted from the "Blood Tide Essence and Qi Sacred View" to Zhang Yu.

This use surprised Bu Yingshu.

Looking at Zhang Yu's muscles swelling under the circulation of his qi and blood, Bu Yingshu thought to herself, "So tough."

She hadn't expected that Zhang Yu would be so much harder than Zheng Meng.

If Zheng Meng was limp and weak in Bu Yingshu's hands, like a fragile plastic bottle, then Zhang Yu at this moment felt like she was holding a huge iron rod.

Such hardness allowed Bu Yingshu to act freely, constantly manipulating the Qi and blood circulation within Zhang Yu's body, watching as his muscles expanded, shrank, and began to deform...

However, no matter how strong Zhang Yu's physique was, he could not withstand the wanton manipulation of Bu Yingshu, a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage.

With bursts of blood and qi bursting forth, a large amount of blood and qi exploded from Zhang Yu's body, and the muscles that had just swelled up completely contracted into a ball.

Seeing Zhang Yu covered in blood, Bu Yingshu transferred 1 Immortal Coins to him, then waved his hand and said, "Go wash yourself clean and heal your wounds. Come back tomorrow."

As Zhang Yu left with 1 immortal coins, a strange feeling welled up inside him: "Why does it feel like I've been swindled?"

Instead of immediately heading to the treatment room, Zhang Yu returned to his room and began circulating his internal energy to heal his injuries.

He knew that the more parts of his body healed on their own, the more medical expenses he would save, which would mean he would earn more money.

With the violent roar of the white bull in his mind, and with the activation of the level 40 Crippled Bull Self-Sacrifice Technique, Zhang Yu's wounds continued to heal.

At the same time, he also switched out the Deep Cold Dharma Vein, which directly froze the most serious injuries on his body and then began to accelerate its self-healing.

So when Zhang Yu finally arrived at the treatment room, it only cost him a little over 1000 immortal coins.

The reason why he ultimately had to accept treatment was twofold: firstly, Zhang Yu felt that not receiving any treatment would attract too much attention; secondly, time was tight, and he needed to be in perfect condition for the next experiment to avoid angering Bu Yingshu.

"You earned nearly 9000 celestial coins in one go?"

Fuki suddenly became excited: "Making money while lying down is so fast!"

Zhang Yu nodded slightly. At this moment, he was even looking forward to the next opportunity to be tormented by Bu Yingshu.

Zhang Yu's patience improved Bu Yingshu's mood somewhat, and she regained some patience with Zhang Yu's guidance.

So, several days later, Zhang Yu finally pushed the requirements for opening the [Myriad Laws Immortal Clan] seed to the final step.

On the experimental platform that day, after a few words of guidance from Bu Yingshu, Zhang Yu quickly completed the technical refinement of the last basic skill.

Before leaving the lab, Zhang Yu sent the document to Bu Yingshu.

Considering Zhang Yu's good performance today, Bu Yingshu quickly glanced at him and said, "Not bad..."

But the next moment, she was struck dumb, standing there in a daze. At the same time, Zhang Yu looked at the [Myriad Laws Immortal Clan] that had been completely copied on the Dao Seed Scroll and thought to himself, "Finally, it's a success."

"Huh? Level 1? I thought it would be like A-Zhen, where I would get more than level 1 by the time I got it."

Zhang Yu had no idea that Bu Yingshu had never actually activated this talent before today.

Meanwhile, Bu Yingshu stood there blankly for a long time, a tear seemingly slowly falling from the corner of her eye.

"I finally..."

Just after reading Zhang Yu's report, Bu Yingshu felt as if a series of thunderbolts flashed through her mind, as if countless insights and reflections surged forth.

At this moment, she felt that the world in her eyes had become very different from the past. All the mysteries of the world were about to emerge, and she seemed to have a deeper understanding of the immortal techniques contained in various cultivation methods.

"Am I finally able to... comprehend the Great Dao?"

Comprehending the Great Dao—this is the understanding of this talent within the Immortal Clan to which Bu Yingshu belongs.

Once they awaken this innate talent of the immortal race, they gradually become able to quickly understand more and more immortal techniques during the process of learning and cultivation, and become increasingly able to apply what they've learned to other situations and further develop various techniques.

This state is as if one has established a direct connection with the Dao of Heaven, and this connection deepens step by step, with each act of cultivation ultimately becoming a comprehension of the Dao of Heaven.

Whether or not one awakens their bloodline talent makes a world of difference on the path to immortality.

But Bu Yingshu knew from a young age that the bloodline talent of the immortal race was not so easy to awaken, and not just anyone could successfully awaken it.

She had given up hope, but unexpectedly, at this moment, she entered the state she had been longing for.

"why?"

"What did I just do?"

Bu Yingshu remembered that, whether it was an epiphany or a breakthrough, the change that occurred suddenly when she read Zhang Yu's report.

"It must be my daily hard work and diligent study that finally led to a qualitative change, and I completed my transformation at the moment of guiding Zhang Yu."

"Zhang Yu has somewhat accelerated my breakthrough progress."

Bu Yingshu felt increasingly pleased as she thought about it, and her smile grew wider and wider. Zhang Yu in front of her became more and more pleasing to the eye.

"Hehehe!" With a light laugh, Bu Yingshu happily reached out to pat Zhang Yu's shoulder, just like an owner petting their own cat or dog.

But the next moment, she saw Zhang Yu retreat rapidly like a frightened kitten.

Although she knew the other party was afraid of being fined for touching her, Bu Yingshu's face still turned cold, and she said indifferently, "You didn't think I was about to touch you, did you? I was just reaching out my hand."

After saying that, Bu Yingshu curled her lips and said, "Get out, all of you. I'm going to use the lab by myself from now on."

After driving away Zhang Yu and Zheng Meng, Bu Yingshu began to try to apply her newly transformed talent.

On the other side, Zhang Yu also focused his attention on the Dao Seed Chart and began to comprehend the newly acquired [Myriad Laws Immortal Clan].

What surprised Zhang Yu was that the Dao Seed he obtained this time was very different from the ones he had obtained in the past.

In Zhang Yu's perception, the [Myriad Laws Immortal Clan] was like a door, directly carrying his thoughts out of the "Feather Book" and extending into a bottomless library.

Looking at those enormous books, Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback: "This is... the Daoist Canon?"

The numerous books here are extremely similar to the Daoist Canon that Zhang Yu had once seen.

But before Zhang Yu could observe carefully, his thoughts suddenly retreated, as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion.

However, Zhang Yu continued to comprehend the [Myriad Laws Immortal Clan], knowing that everything that had just happened was not an illusion.

Through this process of enlightenment, he gradually came to understand the role of the [Myriad Laws Immortal Clan].

"To comprehend the Great Dao, to understand the universe, and even to directly access the Daoist scriptures..."

Zhang Yu tried to summarize the situation of the [Myriad Laws Immortal Clan] in his own words.

"【The Immortal Clan of Myriad Laws】should be a kind of ability that can directly connect to the Daoist Canon and, with the blessing of the Daoist Canon, increase one's own comprehension and aptitude."

"However... it seems that due to the 'Feather Book,' the [Myriad Laws Immortal Clan] underwent some kind of change after being included in the Dao Seed Register."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "The 'Feather Book' can use the [Myriad Laws Immortal Clan] to upload... the immortal techniques extracted from cultivation methods to the 'Daoist Canon', and then exchange them for some things from the 'Daoist Canon', but what can be exchanged is uncertain."

"It gives me the feeling that the 'Feather Book' is like an imposter, using the [Myriad Laws Immortal Clan] to secretly connect to the 'Daoist Canon' and then using some things that were already in the 'Daoist Canon' to secretly redeem some of the prizes inside."

"But because the methods are irregular, they can only change whatever they see, and the outcome is uncertain..."

Zhang Yu shook his head. The changes in the [Myriad Laws Immortal Clan] were far beyond his expectations. He never thought that the "Feather Book" could secretly connect to the "Daoist Canon".

The immortal techniques involved were completely beyond Zhang Yu's comprehension, so he didn't think too much about it and decided to try out the [Myriad Laws Immortal Clan] to see if it was any good.

"Perfect timing. We extracted 10 immortal techniques from the 10 basic cultivation methods."

"According to the Dao Seed Genealogy, it should be possible to make 10 exchanges through the [Myriad Laws Immortal Clan]."

Zhang Yu knew that in the process of investing in immortal techniques and completing the exchange, each immortal technique could only be exchanged once.

"It's starting to feel more and more like a reward."

"It's just a reward I tricked into giving me using the 'Feather Book'."

As Zhang Yu activated the power of the [Myriad Laws Immortal Clan], he felt a series of "rewards" appear in his mind.

The rewards he received at this moment were like mysterious and unpredictable forces, swirling in his sea of ​​consciousness. With just a thought, he could absorb them into his body and put them to use.

As he gained more insight, he gradually came to understand the purpose of these "rewards".

"Eight of them are exactly the same, and their function is... to increase the level of the selected basic skill by 1."

Zhang Yu could sense that as long as he activated this power, he could raise any of the basic techniques he had mastered by one level.

Of course, this level cannot break through the realm limit.

The remaining two rewards are, one, the ability to forget a basic skill of your choice, and the other, the ability to learn a basic skill of your choice.

Forgetting goes without saying, but the other optional entry made Zhang Yu's gaze suddenly sharpen.

"Can I directly learn any basic technique that I know in its entirety? Can I directly enter level 1?"

In the past, Zhang Yu might have been somewhat dismissive of this reward, because in his view, as long as he knew the complete contents of the cultivation technique, there was no technique he couldn't learn.

It's just that some cultivation techniques require time and money to achieve, or that some techniques require a large investment of resources to even begin.

But not long ago, Zhang Yu encountered a sect-level cultivation technique that he could not cultivate successfully no matter what he tried—the Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred View.

"However, this reward only allows me to choose a basic cultivation technique to begin with... Is it possible that in the future I will be able to draw a cultivation technique to begin with, which is considered a sect-level cultivation technique?"

Zhang Yu felt that this was very possible, but the [Myriad Laws Immortal Clan], which was only level 1 at the moment, could not do this.

"Level 1 Immortal Clan members can only draw rewards such as basic cultivation techniques."

"You need to upgrade. Only at a higher level can you access more types of rewards..."

Zhang Yu looked at the upgrade requirements for the [Myriad Laws Immortal Clan] and found that it required refining the immortal techniques of 10 advanced martial arts.

"Perfect, I can upgrade at the same time and collect 10 draws."

So next, Zhang Yu "asked" Bu Yingshu about the advanced-level derivative martial arts.

Having awakened her talent, Bu Yingshu was in a good mood and was very patient, answering all of Zhang Yu's questions, which made Zheng Meng, who was watching from the side, both envious and jealous.

……

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Yu has been with the special task force for almost a month.

Although the special task force is closed off internally and externally, there is still an opportunity to apply for a connection with the external legal community at the end of each month, and to conduct some exchanges and operations under the supervision of the special task force.

In the past few days, many group members have taken advantage of this opportunity to complete various operations such as loan repayments and lease renewals.

With the repayment deadline fast approaching, Zhang Yu thought about applying for an opportunity to connect with the external legal realm to make it easier for him to repay the loan.

Because he was still under the Martial Arts Group of the Review Department, he had to apply to Lu Hengzhang.

Upon receiving Zhang Yu's application, Lu Hengzhang glanced at the form sent to him and said, "Your materials are not well prepared."

After being rejected several times, Zhang Yu couldn't help but say, "Vice Minister Lu, are you not planning to approve my application?"

Lu Hengzhang said calmly, "Others only need to connect to the external Dharma realm because they have very important matters to attend to."

"You're just paying off a loan, what's there to apply for?"

Zhang Yu said, "Then I'll have to make the payment overdue."

Lu Hengzhang glanced at Zhang Yu indifferently, as if to say, "What does this have to do with me?"

But he didn't say those words in the end, only casually saying, "After leaving the task force, you can report the situation to the platform and explain things clearly."

Just then, a projection suddenly and forcefully descended, and Bu Yingshu's voice, containing a hint of anger, came over.

"Zhang Yu! What are you doing?"

"I've been calling you for so long, why haven't you come over yet?"
