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

Chapter 786 Even if it's my dog, I'll make an exception.

Seeing the menacing Bu Yingshu, Zhang Yu quickly explained the situation to avoid the other party venting their anger on him.

But before Zhang Yu could finish speaking, Lu Hengzhang said, "Team Leader Zhang..."

Zhang Yu turned his head and saw that Lu Hengzhang had lightly tapped his finger and sent him a notification, indicating that his application had been approved.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner that Bu Daojun was still waiting for you?"

Lu Hengzhang then looked at Bu Yingshu's projection and said respectfully, "Lord Bu, after I learned about Team Leader Zhang's needs, I helped him complete the process as soon as possible, and the application has now been approved."

Then he looked at Zhang Yu with a reproachful expression: "Team Leader Zhang, I told you that after you went to help Bu Daojun, you must do your best. If you need anything, just tell me, and I will do my best to assist you."

"Next time you encounter something like this, remember to tell me in advance. When it comes to Bu Daojun's matters, not a single second can be wasted."

Seeing Lu Hengzhang's face change instantly, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Holy crap..."

But seeing that the other party had already approved the application and was all polite and respectful, Zhang Yu felt as if he had stepped into a muddy swamp, unable to muster any strength against them.

At this moment, Zhang Yu also remembered the lineage behind Lu Hengzhang.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "The innate lineage severs the connection between the innate and the acquired... Come to think of it, they not only suppress cultivators from the lower realms like me, but they also fawn over immortals like Bu Yingshu, right?"

Zhan Xian said, "According to the concept of the innate Dao lineage, in Lu Hengzhang's eyes, the immortal race should always be high above, always above most cultivators, even including those who believe in the innate Dao lineage."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "So it seems... the innate Dao lineage and the Immortal Clan are in cahoots?"

However, just when Zhang Yu thought the matter was about to come to an end...

But then Bu Yingshu snorted coldly, and his projection transformed into a physical body as he reached out and pinched Lu Hengzhang's head.

"A Class A Immortal has been detected! To avoid violating the 'Immortal Rights Protection Law,' the following magical remains and magical artifacts will be suspended..."

As Bu Yingshu made his move, a series of warning messages appeared in front of Lu Hengzhang.

At that moment, he felt as if all his strength had been drained from his body, and most of his magical remains and magical treasures stopped functioning.

The next moment, Bu Yingshu grabbed Lu Hengzhang's head and lifted him up.

In an instant, more warnings appeared before Lu Hengzhang's eyes.

"Please immediately cease any physical contact with Bu Yingshu, a member of the Rank A Immortal Clan!"
-
1000 Immortal Coins -
1000 Coins
"Please immediately cease all physical contact with Bu Yingshu, a member of the Rank A Immortal Clan! The fine will double in 10 seconds!"

……

Looking at the fine that was now pounding wildly in front of him, Lu Hengzhang felt a bitter taste in his mouth. It wasn't him who was going to make contact with the other party; it was Bu Yingshu who was holding his head in her lap.

But he dared not resist in any way, not only because Lu Hengzhang knew that it would lead to even worse consequences, but also because in his view, a lower cultivator had no right to resist the immortal race.

So he begged for mercy, "Lord Budao!"

Bu Yingshu simply held Lu Hengzhang's head quietly and looked at him coldly.

To yield? To be respectful? To be polite? To be obedient?
In Bu Yingshu's view, this was perfectly reasonable, so why should he care?
Bu Yingshu didn't even care to discern whether the other party had actually made things difficult for Zhang Yu.

If the other party makes things difficult for Zhang Yu, then they are the kind of people that Bu Yingshu hates who abuse their power. It is these kinds of people who drag down the Immortal Clan and ruin the vast industry created by the Immortals.

She wanted to tell them that only the immortals were entitled to abuse their privileges!
If the other party didn't make things difficult for Zhang Yu, then she wanted to make them understand even more clearly that this is how the privileges of the Immortal Clan are used, and that even if someone is her dog, they will be treated specially in the future.

"Humph!"

Bu Yingshu snorted coldly and threw Lu Hengzhang to the ground: "Approve Zhang Yu's applications for the next year..."

Looking at how he had lost a month's salary in the blink of an eye, Lu Hengzhang smiled bitterly and said, "Bu Daojun, this special task force probably won't last even a year."

Seeing the warning messages reappearing, Lu Hengzhang quickly said, "From now on, I will approve Zhang Yu's applications as soon as possible."

Bu Yingshu then left satisfied, withdrawing the Dharma Realm projection, leaving only a voice echoing in the air.

"Zhang Yu, lie down on me within ten seconds!"

Watching Zhang Yu shoot out like lightning, tearing through the air with a whoosh, Lu Hengzhang was secretly surprised: "This Zhang Yu is actually valued so highly by Bu Yingshu? How long have they been in contact?"

"Even when it comes to their own mounts, they're no different."

"How could a noble lady of the celestial race, so high and mighty, dote on a mortal like this?"

As subordinates who espouse power upwards, and leaders who humiliate their subordinates, has this kind of harmonious workplace already begun between them?
It's unacceptable for the noble immortal race to be tainted by the filth of the lower realm! It's absolutely unacceptable!

Lu Hengzhang couldn't understand it, and his heart was filled with doubt and uncertainty, mixed with a trace of inexplicable envy, jealousy and anger.

However, the next moment, with the internal Dharma realm's medicinal services, he had suppressed all his emotions.

Lu Hengzhang's eyes gleamed with rationality, having already made reasonable analyses and inferences based on the existing situation.

"Bu Daojun used Zhang Yu and Zheng Meng as test subjects. He was probably telling Zhang Yu to lie down on the experimental table just now."

"After all, she and Zhang Yu are not in a true superior-subordinate relationship. At this moment, she supports Zhang Yu only in the hope of using Zhang Yu to advance her own plans."

"She didn't attack me because of Zhang Yu; it was just that the plan was delayed, and I got caught in the crossfire."

Lu Hengzhang closed his eyes, and more information about Bu Yingshu surfaced in his mind.

"This noble lady was able to seal my magical body and magical treasures with a single move, affecting the underlying agreements. Her status is actually higher than I originally expected."

"But this person's temperament is really... No wonder those cultivators who have come into contact with her have either gone bankrupt or been reincarnated to the lower realms."

Lu Hengzhang smiled slightly: "Zhang Yu, it's not so easy to cling to someone with her temperament. Let me see when you'll be kicked back to your hometown."

In Lu Hengzhang's speculation, this possibility is not small.

It's just that although Bu Yingshu has a very high position, even she is unlikely to be able to push through the review of "Blood Tide Essence Holy Temple" this time.

Lu Hengzhang considered it perfectly normal for Bu Yingshu to direct her anger at Zhang Yu after her defeat.

Even without this good thing happening, the fact that the other party joined Bu Yingshu in opposing the wishes of the higher-ups of the Imperial Law Pavilion made Lu Hengzhang sentence Zhang Yu to death in his heart.

"After the matter was over, Daojun went straight back to the Martial Arts Pavilion."

"You, Zhang Yu, are still required to remain in the Imperial Law Pavilion."

……

On the other side of the corridor, Zhang Yu sped towards the laboratory.

At the same time, he thought to himself, "The innate Daoist lineage seems to support the Immortal Clan. But this time, Bu Yingshu, as a member of the Immortal Clan, intends to push for the 'Blood Tide Essence Holy Temple' to pass the review."

"Doesn't this contradict our original prediction that the innate Daoist lineage should suppress the Blood Tide Essence Holy View?"

Zhang Yu also recalled some previously known information: "In addition... the higher-ups within the Imperial Law Pavilion are inclined to prevent the 'Blood Tide Essence Holy View' from passing, and the cultivators of the Innate Daoist lineage feel the same way."

"These intelligence reports are contradictory?"

Zhan Xian said, "Bu Ying Shu probably doesn't represent the choice of all the immortal races in the Wanfa Sect. This time, pushing forward the 'Blood Tide Essence Saint View' is probably just her personal will."

"Perhaps there are even more immortals of higher rank than her who do not want to pass through the Blood Tide Essence Holy View."

Just then, a thought flashed through Fu Ji's mind, and she said, "The innate lineage... their philosophy is that upper cultivators like the Immortal Clan are high above, while lower cultivators and people from the lower realms are forever trampled underfoot by the upper cultivators."

"So, cultivators of the innate lineage respect the Immortal Race simply because they uphold their principles, but they wouldn't necessarily agree with all of the Immortal Race's decisions because of that, would they?"

"For example, if Bu Yingshu were to have children with you, Zhang Yu, and pay you child support, that would probably be unacceptable to the innate lineage. Those cultivators might even consider you and Bu Yingshu as enemies."

Fu Ji thought about it more and more and found it made sense, and she spoke eloquently: "On the other hand, the Immortal Clan certainly wouldn't fully support the Innate Daoist lineage, because in pursuit of the highest profits and returns, the Innate Daoist lineage's philosophy obviously has limitations, such as the introduction of laborers from the lower realms, the promotion of people from the lower realms, and so on..."

Listening to Fuki's analysis, Zhanxian agreed, "That's very well said."

"There are indeed some people in the Immortal Clan who support the innate Dao lineage, but the two sides are not completely aligned. Rather, they are more like allies, with areas of cooperation as well as areas of hostility..."

As they were talking, Zhang Yu had already returned to the experimental table.

"3...2...1..."

Seeing Zhang Yu collapse on the lab table before his countdown ended, Bu Yingshu nodded in satisfaction and began today's experiment. Accompanied by a series of crackling sounds, clumps of liquid burst from Zhang Yu's body.

Zhang Yu said, "Daojun, you are truly magnificent today."

Bu Yingshu pursed her lips and smiled indifferently.

Zhang Yu continued, "I was tormented by that Vice Minister Lu Hengzhang for a long time, but I never expected that he would be like a chick in front of you, easily blown down. We cultivators were too unaware of your power before."

"Heh." Bu Yingshu seemed to find the licking somewhat pleasant, and the smile on her lips seemed to widen.

Bu Yingshu said arrogantly, "Remember this. From now on, if I call you, you must come immediately. If you encounter any trouble, just say my name."

Zhang Yu nodded quickly and said, "I understand, Daoist Lord." Bu Yingshu smiled gently upon hearing this. She didn't know why, but lately she always felt that Zhang Yu's words sounded particularly pleasant.

Bu Yingshu suspected that Zhang Yu's talent had been surpassed when he was guiding him, which was why he found him pleasing to the eye.

Thinking of this, Bu Yingshu said, "Don't you still have questions about martial arts? Let's talk about them now."

Zhang Yu quickly began to explain his question about an advanced martial art.

Zheng Meng lay on the lab table, watching Bu Yingshu and Zhang Yu working busily beside her, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes.

Especially when she thought about how Bu Yingshu, who used to put her through all sorts of trouble every day, hadn't even glanced at her on the lab table these past few days, Zheng Meng felt a chill in her heart.

Several hours later, Bu Yingshu still tossed 1 immortal coins to Zhang Yu, saying, "Clean it up yourself, and come back at the same time tomorrow."

After finally waiting for Bu Yingshu and Zhang Yu to finish, Zheng Meng hurriedly said, "Daojun..."

Bu Yingshu waved her hand: "That's enough for today. I've finished everything. You can go back now."

Staring blankly at Bu Ying's departing figure, Zheng Meng sighed inwardly, "Alas, the heart of an immortal is unfathomable. Zhang Yu is too capable; I can't compete with him! I can't compete with him!"

In the following days, Zhang Yu received guidance and experiments from Bu Yingshu every day.

During this process, he sent his written reports to Bu Yingshu every day, constantly reporting his learning progress to her.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Yu and Bu Yingshu had already refined 10 advanced martial arts techniques derived from derivative techniques.

At the lab table that day, Bu Yingshu, who had just been tormenting Zhang Yu, suddenly straightened up, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

She discovered that after casually scanning the report sent by Zhang Yu, her bloodline talent had actually broken through again!

"I...I've broken through again?"

Bu Yingshu stared incredulously at her hands, feeling every change in her entire body.

The world became clearer, and her connection with the Dao seemed to become closer. Recalling every word and phrase she had used to guide Zhang Yu during the experiment, she seemed to have a new understanding and new insights at this moment.

If the Level 1 Myriad Laws Immortal Clan only made it easier for Bu Yingshu to gain insight and understanding of basic cultivation techniques, then now, advanced cultivation techniques have become easier for her to cultivate, easier to break through, easier to refine immortal techniques, and even easier to innovate...

"I was able to make another breakthrough in such a short period of time."

"Is this the culmination of years of hard work and over 80 years of accumulation, finally unleashed in this period of time?"

"Do not……"

Bu Yingshu thought to himself, "My talent and breakthrough speed are absolutely extraordinary. There's only one possibility..."

"Actually, I possess unparalleled talent, but it was not brought out in the past."

At this moment, Bu Yingshu felt that he was exceptionally talented and had immense potential for immortality. He was a peerless genius on the path of immortality and an unparalleled prodigy among the immortals.

In that instant, she felt that her future held infinite possibilities.

Bu Yingshu thought to himself, "Who says the immortal race has no talent to ascend to immortality?"

Images flashed through her mind: "To survive the tribulation of lightning, to ascend to immortality, to pass the review, and finally to become an immortal... it's not impossible for me, Bu Yingshu, to do the same."

Meanwhile, Zhang Yu was quietly studying the Dao Seed that had been upgraded to level 2.

According to Zhang Yu's perception, after the [Myriad Laws Immortal Clan] reaches level 2, in addition to basic cultivation techniques, they can also exchange for rewards by refining advanced cultivation techniques.

However, the rewards obtained from refining basic-level cultivation techniques are mostly only effective for basic-level cultivation techniques.

The rewards obtained by refining advanced cultivation techniques only apply to those advanced techniques.

"In the future, refining expert-level, military-grade, and immortal-level techniques should also be effective for techniques of their respective levels, right?"

"10 advanced martial arts techniques, which is exactly 10 draws."

Zhang Yu used up all 10 draws in one go, and immediately streams of power surged into his sea of ​​consciousness, transforming into a total of 10 rewards.

Most of the rewards are still a +1 level to the selected advanced skill.

At first, Zhang Yu thought the reward of +1 to the level of this cultivation technique was useless, since it would be too easy for him to advance the level of a cultivation technique with his talent and aptitude.

But after thinking about it for a while, Zhang Yu realized the benefits of this kind of reward.

"No matter how high my talent is or how fast I can practice martial arts, due to the limitation of switching between specializations in Feather Book, I can only improve one skill from beginner to maximum level in a day."

"But with this +1 level reward, as long as I accumulate more in the future..."

"Then you can spend all these rewards at once when needed, such as when you have just learned a new technique, or when you break through a realm and the upper limit of all techniques increases, so that the level of a large number of techniques will increase dramatically in an instant."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu couldn't help but smile, as if he could already see himself upgrading a large number of cultivation techniques to level 50 in one go after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Then Zhang Yu looked at the next level upgrade requirements for the [Myriad Laws Immortal Clan].

"As expected, they really are refining 10 expert-level cultivation techniques together?"

Zhang Yu understood that he still needed to cling to Bu Yingshu's coattails.

Thanks to his work under Bu Yingshu, he not only learned many derivative techniques and collected eight sets of techniques from the "Great Sage Researcher," but also upgraded his "Myriad Laws Immortal Clan" to level 2. He has also accumulated a full 150,000 Immortal Coins, making his harvest extremely rich.

Of course, this 15 coins is still a long way from Zhang Yu's debt of 23 coins.

"Extremely profitable! Absolutely extremely profitable!"

Whenever Fu Ji saw Zhang Yu's savings, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "The money he earns in a month while lying in the hands of the Immortal Clan is more than we earn in two or three years of hard work. Sure enough, if you want to make a lot of money in the sect, you have to follow the right person, Zhang Yu."

Zhang Yu inwardly scoffed: "That's the one who suffers, not you. Do you think it's easy being tormented like this by her every day? You're seriously injured every day. The injuries I've suffered in these few days are more than all the previous years combined."

"Be patient, Zhang Yu!" Fu Ji encouraged him. "Hold on for another 10 days, and your savings should be enough to pay off the loan."

"You should look for another opportunity. If you can recognize her as your mother, then our future will be bright."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "I'm afraid that as soon as I say those words, she'll stomp me to death."

In the following days, although the tests on "Blood Tide Essence Holy View" continued to fail, Bu Yingshu remained patient with Zhang Yu's inquiries.

It wasn't just because Bu Yingshu was in a good mood, but also because she had begun to try to summarize the key points of her talent breakthrough.

"What have I been doing these past few days?"

Images of the lab bench, Zhang Yu, and the report flashed through Bu Yingshu's mind.

"Does this have anything to do with what I've been doing these past few days?"

"I've never been able to unleash my true talents before, is it because I've been using the wrong methods?"

Bu Yingshu knew that she couldn't find the answer by thinking; she needed to do it. She decided to repeat what she had been doing these past few days.

It's not just repetition...

"Double it!" Bu Yingshu thought to himself, "If I double what I've been doing these past few days, maybe I can gradually come up with a method that suits me and summarize my experience in training my talent."

……

On this day, as Zhang Yu saw that the work in the laboratory was almost finished, he was about to get up and leave.

He just didn't know why, but he felt that Bu Yingshu was in a bit of a rush today, and finished too quickly.

Just then, a voice came from behind him: "Gone?"

Zhang Yu turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Bu Yingshu said calmly, "Don't you have anything else to ask today?"

Zhang Yu's heart tightened upon hearing this: "What is this woman up to now?"

Zhang Yu said cautiously, "There are no problems for now."

Bu Yingshu frowned, then said, "Don't you have any questions about those derivative techniques you've been practicing?"

Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback. A derivative cultivation technique?

With the blessing of the Feather Book every day, he pushed a derivative martial art to level 40 before asking Bu Ying Shu for "guidance" the next day after he had made sufficient preparations.

At this moment, Zhang Yu has not yet pushed the next expert-level skill to level 40, so what "question" is there?
Zhang Yu smiled helplessly and said, "There are some questions I haven't thought of yet. I'll ask you, Master, tomorrow."

Bu Yingshu frowned and said, "Stop talking nonsense, just ask what I told you to ask."

"You son of a bitch..." Zhang Yu thought to himself, "I've already asked everything, I'm completely drained, where would I find any more?"
