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

Chapter 829 Zhang Yu, Hero of Kunxu (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

After disconnecting from the magnetic pole, Xuanji shook his head, a sigh escaping his eyes.

"Junior sister, I never thought that someone as proud as you would have to beg me for help."

"If we were both cultivating under the same master in the past, you probably would never have imagined that one day the gap between us would be as vast as an insurmountable chasm, would you?"

The thought only briefly crossed Xuanji's mind before he refocused on his work.

For him, the time and memories before he joined the sect are all things of the past and have nothing to do with him now.

Working hard, cultivating diligently, maintaining one's position within the sect, and then continuing to climb higher... this is Xuanji's top priority right now.

As for the past...

"It's time to put an end to this."

After communicating with the magnetic poles, Xuanji confirmed one more thing.

"The past is no longer of any help to me; on the contrary, it is only a burden."

"Just talking to the current magnetic poles is a waste of my time."

So, in the blink of an eye, Xuanji silently selected the magnetic pole in his contacts and then chose to delete the friend.

After doing all this, Xuanji felt as if he had unloaded some kind of mental burden. He felt that his magical power and mental processes were becoming lighter and more agile, and even the speed at which he was handling the work at hand seemed to have increased.

Just then, a bright light suddenly flashed in front of Xuanji. It was a report from his soul cultivators, indicating that important news was being broadcast in the spirit world.

Xuanji clicked on the news link and was immediately shocked.

One message after another, concerning the handling of the Tai Zhen Immortal Clan, filled him with shock.

In particular, seeing those once high and mighty immortals being dragged out, criticized, and punished one by one, Xuanji seemed to see a series of bloody battles unfolding before his eyes.

"The announcement in the news... this is not a battle cry, but a declaration of victory."

As a sect affairs officer who had been involved in the sect for a long time, Xuanji understood very well that the release of news like this meant that the matter had been settled. Not only was the struggle over, but the spoils of war had probably already been divided up.

"But the Tai Zhen Immortal Clan has probably suffered a major blow from this."

"Even the Immortal Taizhen didn't do much to protect us... It seems the struggle between immortals is quite tense."

As the shock in Xuanji's heart gradually subsided, something else suddenly came to mind.

"Wait, the apprentice who asked me for help seems to be involved in this matter."

"What's your name again?"

With Xuanji's cultivation level, although he didn't take the other party seriously, he still retrieved everything from his memory in a fraction of a second.

"Oh right, his name is Zhang Yu."

The next moment, Zhang Yu's image appeared on the news screen.

"Heroes of Kunxu, role models for the sect!"

"At a critical moment, facing anti-Kunxu elements, Zhang Yu stepped forward, disregarding his personal safety, and charged ahead, demonstrating the responsibility and commitment of Kunxu in the new era..."

Upon seeing the news, Xuanji was startled and then found it hard to believe.

"How dare someone who came from the lower realms give such a weighty evaluation? On what grounds?"

"Who exactly is promoting him?"

But considering how the magnetic pole had just asked me for help, it certainly didn't seem like it had any powerful connections.

Just as Xuanji was shocked and pondering, another message popped up in front of him, and it was from his and Ciji's master.

Master: Have you seen the news about the Tai Zhen Immortal Clan and Zhang Yu?
Xuanji: Just saw it
Master: Magnetic Pole has taken on a fine disciple! Zhang Yu is about to soar to great heights, which is an honor for our lineage.
Master: By the way, I heard that Magnetic Pole asked you for help? She's not the type to ask for favors easily. If there's anything you can help with, please do so.

Looking at the message from his master, and then at Ciji, whom he had deleted as a friend, Xuanji silently clicked on the friend request, thinking to himself, "What reason should I use to add him back?"

……

Inside the training academy.

"...Over the years, Zhang Yu has always been dedicated to his duties and worked hard, rising step by step from the first level of Kunxu to the sect, and finally gaining the qualification to enter the 14th level..."

Both Ciji and Lao Gao looked shocked as they watched the news.

Especially after seeing all the praise for Zhang Yu, they were both surprised and delighted.

Old Gao said, "So many people from the Tai Zhen Immortal Clan have been dealt with, while Zhang Yu has been praised as a model citizen. It seems that the matter has come to an end."

Seeing the news reports of Zhang Yu confronting Su Lingyou, Ciji breathed a slight sigh of relief: "For now, it seems there are no problems."

"How did this kid suddenly end up like this?"

Just then, one profile picture after another popped up on the previously deserted contact list.

One of the Yin Spring Gods from the lower realms said: "Congratulations! Zhang Yu has gained the favor of those above. He's probably about to rise to prominence!"

The outsourced cultivators who had previously trained together at the training academy also sent messages, some congratulating Zhang Yu, others subtly inquiring about who his current backer was.

Suddenly, one of the college's directors also took the initiative to contact the magnetic pole.

Teacher: Magnetic poles, do you have time? [Laughs sheepishly]

Seeing that the usually aloof and disdainful director, who had always looked down on cultivators from the lower realms, had suddenly become polite, Ciji couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "I never thought that one day I, Ciji, would also rise in status because of my disciple."

Director Li: Someone wants to do a series of reports about Zhang Yu and would like to interview you to ask about Zhang Yu's deeds in the mortal realm.

Upon seeing these words, Magnet's heart stirred slightly: "A series of reports? It seems that this time, making Zhang Yu the center of attention is not only to strike at the Tai Zhen Immortal Clan, but also to promote something through Zhang Yu?"

After a moment's thought, the magnetic pole replied: "Besides me, there is also Lord Qingmu here, who is also Zhang Yu's teacher and his mentor during his university years."
Director Li: Okay, let him come along for the interview.

Magnet said: But he's from the Civil Engineering department, is that alright?

Director Li: I'll go ask.
After learning of the magnetic pole's reply, Lao Gao couldn't help but say, "Why did you bring me up? I'm just a civil engineering teacher. Letting others know that Zhang Yu is a civil engineering graduate will have a bad influence on him."

Magnet said, "Even if you're a civil engineer, you were still his first mentor at the University of Ten Thousand Laws. Besides..."

As he looked at the news report, Ciji slowly analyzed, "If I'm not mistaken, the upcoming reports on Zhang Yu will likely focus on his humble origins."

"The lower his background, the happier the people who report on him and those who want to promote him will be."

"Old Gao, you and Civil Engineering are not stains on him now, but the path he came from, the solid foundation for him to climb to even greater heights in the future."

Just then, Magnet's gaze shifted as he saw a friend request.

"I am Xuanji. My subordinates accidentally deleted me when cleaning up their friend list. Please add me back."

Magnetic pole: I don't recommend you do that. [Clenched fist]

Soon after, Xuanji sent another friend request: [Kowtowing]

Magnet's lips curled slightly as he replied, "Xuanji, you've been in the Upper Realm for a long time and aren't familiar with our situation. This matter has escalated so much; you'd better not get involved. As a former fellow disciple, I give you some advice: stay put and don't meddle in other people's business."

Xuanji: [Red Envelope]

Only then did the magnetic pole approve the primordial pole's application.

Xuanji immediately sent a red envelope containing immortal coins, and then began to ask about Zhang Yu: Junior sister, tell me the truth, which benefactor has our nephew been favored by?
Looking at the message sent by Xuanji, Ciji shook his head and thought to himself, "Zhang Yu is a master at sucking up to powerful figures. How would I know whose powerful figure he's latched onto this time?"

……

Inside a cave dwelling of the Myriad Laws Immortal Clan.

Bu Yingshu hurriedly found her father and asked, "Father! Did you help Zhang Yu?!"

Bu Yuangui said calmly, "Your father is just an ascended cultivator, a level 10 sect affairs officer, not an immortal. Do you think I could have achieved this?"

Bu Yuangui spoke quite directly because he was afraid that if he spoke in a roundabout way, his daughter would not understand.

Upon hearing this, Bu Yingshu was even more surprised and asked, "Who did that?"

Bu Yuangui sighed and said, "Who else could it be? It's naturally the will of an immortal. But I, your father, don't know which immortal it is. It just seems that there's a certain possibility... that they're using Zhang Yu to further promote the improvement of Kunxu."

Then he instructed, "After Zhang Yu comes out this time, contact him and ask him what his plans are..."

Before Bu Yuangui could finish speaking, Bu Yingshu frowned and said, "Why should I contact him? Shouldn't he take the initiative to contact me as soon as he has the chance?"

Bu Yuangui explained, "I have received news that the former maze-like area of ​​the old graveyard will be transformed into an industrial development zone for joint reconstruction."

"As the successor of Yingxintian's legacy, Zhang Yu will temporarily serve as the vice chairman of the management committee of this industrial development zone."

Seeing Bu Yingshu's thoughtful expression and repeated nods, Bu Yuangui understood that his daughter hadn't grasped the details. After all, he had seen Bu Yingshu like this since she was a child, and he had seen it all before.

"The development of the former cemetery is related to the rise and fall of multiple industries such as corpses and soul cultivation. The annual output value of the cemetery can reach hundreds of billions of immortal coins."

"Zhang Yu was able to participate in the management of the development zone as a Level 4 sect affairs officer by taking advantage of the opportunity of the immortal inheritance."

"This is a position where you can achieve great results. If Zhang Yu can make a name for himself in this position, then he will have a place as the Daoist Master of Refining Void."

Bu Yingshu knew that although there seemed to be only one level difference between the Nascent Soul stage and the Void Refinement stage, the difference was as vast as heaven and earth.

According to ancient sayings, the difference in combat power between the two was beyond comprehension; a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage could never defeat a Void Refining Dao Lord.

In present-day Kunxu, with the support of a series of systems such as laws and traditions, the gap between the two in terms of sect status, authority, assets, and influence has become even greater. That was the beginning of their true participation in the ruling class of Kunxu.

Thinking of this, Bu Yingshu's two delicate eyebrows suddenly shot up, and she thought to herself, "Zhang Yu can refine his Void Realm? Does that mean he's catching up to me? How can that be?"

Thinking that her pets were catching up with her, Bu Yingshu couldn't help but feel a little anxious and irritable.

Bu Yuangui continued, "In short, Zhang Yu's status is different now. You can no longer treat him like you used to."

He glanced at the absent-minded Bu Yingshu and knew that his daughter wasn't taking his words to heart.

However, Bu Yuangui didn't say much, but continued, "After you contact Zhang Yu, you can ask him to introduce some reconstruction projects of the old cemetery and tell him that we can invest money."

In Bu Yuangui's view, the reconstruction of the old cemetery was an inevitable trend, with huge potential for future profits. Supporting Zhang Yu from behind the scenes would be a win-win situation for both sides. Furthermore, if Zhang Yu could successfully use this as a springboard to break through to the Void Refinement Realm, there would be an opportunity to influence the laws he established, thereby enhancing the power of their own lineage.

“Alright, I understand.” Bu Yingshu patted his chest and said, “I’ll have him bring out the best projects from the old cemetery.”

Watching Bu Ying's departing figure, Bu Yuangui thought to himself, "If Zhang Yu succeeds, it will indeed be a meteoric rise. But this position offers endless opportunities, but also endless dangers."

Bu Yuangui understood that the old cemetery development zone was jointly managed by multiple sects, with hundreds of sect enterprises watching over it, and countless cultivators vying for power and profit below, even wanting to remove Zhang Yu, a level 4 sect affairs officer at the Nascent Soul stage, and replace him.

Despite having support from above, Bu Yuangui couldn't predict whether Zhang Yu would be able to overcome the difficulties one by one.

"However, it just so happens that Zhang Yu is related to Ying Shu. If my daughter takes the lead, she can take the benefits and block the bad ones."

……

Heavenly Sword Sect

"Holy crap! What's up with this Zhang Yu?"

"Huh? He's a hero of Kunxu?"

"This is outrageous! People from the lower realms have overthrown the Tai Zhen Immortal Clan!"

"Holy crap, he's the inheritor of the immortals' legacy!"

As news of Zhang Yu echoed throughout the Spirit Realm, gasps of surprise rose and fell within the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Zhang Yu's deeds, achievements, and gains this time... along with numerous reports, have become a source of immortal cultivation material for countless sword cultivators in the Heavenly Sword Sect, which they repeatedly chew on, discuss, and explore.

Bai Zhenzhen read the news report several times and breathed a sigh of relief: "Is Yu Zi alright now?"

The mysterious man standing nearby said, "Hey, this kid won the bet. Now he's won the immortal inheritance, the grotto heaven, the position in the development zone... and the immortal bloodline all in one go."

The mysterious figure projected an inconspicuous news report: After careful consideration, it has been decided that the bloodline power held by Ying Xintian will be transferred to Zhang Yu, who will temporarily hold it on his behalf...

Bai Zhenzhen asked, "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" The mysterious man laughed. "It means he is now half a celestial being. Once he achieves success in his position in the development zone, he will not only be promoted to the Refining Void Dao Lord, but will also become the official holder of the Yingxintian bloodline power and a true celestial being."

"How are you feeling, Green Zhenzhen? Don't you feel the gap between you and Zhang Yu widening?"

Bai Zhenzhen nodded: "Yes."

The mysterious man glanced at Bai Zhenzhen's calm demeanor and couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you in a hurry?"

Bai Zhenzhen said, "Why should I be in a hurry?"

The mysterious man said, "Zhang Yu is climbing higher and higher. Just imagine how carefree he'll be in the Myriad Laws Sect, interacting with countless cultivators..."

Bai Zhenzhen said, "That was Zhang Yu making up for his regret of not joining the Hehuan Sect. He simply returned to his original intention."

Seeing that Bai Zhenzhen remained unmoved, the mysterious man frowned: "Something's wrong. Something's very wrong with you."

Bai Zhenzhen said, "What's wrong? I've been cultivating day and night in the Heavenly Sword Sect, and I've let go of my original personal love and comprehended the sect's great love."

"Right now, I only have one love in my heart, and that is the Heavenly Sword Sect."

The mysterious man said, "The Love Sect Realm? How could your Extreme Emotion Sword Dao suddenly enter the Love Sect Realm?"

Within Bai Zhenzhen's body, Kao Zong's clone naturally said, "This is originally a higher realm of the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao, what's so strange about it?"

The mysterious man laughed: "Very well, I'll send you to the old graveyard and see if, in the conflict between humanity and religion, you love humanity or religion."

Thinking about this, the mysterious man seemed to have already envisioned one amusing scene after another, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

……

Inside the dormitory of Yu Shinbu.

Zhao Tianxing had been guarding Zhang Yu's primordial spirit for some time.

Over the past few days, he has watched as Zhang Yu's primordial spirit, under the influence of the Divine Transformation Pool, has gradually transformed, becoming more and more vibrant and radiant.

But compared to the brilliance of Zhang Yu's primordial spirit, Zhao Tianxing's heart was filled with gloom.

Through the spirit world connection of the dormitory, Zhao Tianxing was also able to know all kinds of news from the outside world that were circulating in the spirit world.

When Zhao Tianxing learned that Zhang Yu had been arrested and was under investigation, his heart sank.

"Zhang Yu has been arrested, what should I do now?"

"What should I say if they come to me asking for my cooperation in the investigation?"

"Should I commit suicide to silence myself in this situation? No, I'm too weak. Suicide will attract the attention of the gods..."

The thought that he was so weak that he couldn't even commit suicide filled Zhao Tianxing with helplessness.

He couldn't help but look at Zhang Yu's primordial spirit in the Divine Transformation Pool and asked, "Zhang Yu, teach me, what should I do?"

Unfortunately, the primordial spirit, which had completely severed its connection with Zhang Yu at this moment, was like an ordinary projection, showing no reaction whatsoever.

At that moment, he felt as if a huge net had fallen from the sky, sweeping in from all directions, threatening to suffocate him.

Soon after, Zhao Tianxing discovered that the entire dormitory had been disconnected from the spirit world and seemed to have been completely sealed off.

"Have they noticed this place? Are they coming to interrogate me?"

"It's all over, it's all over now."

But Zhao Tianxing soon discovered that only the connection to the spirit world had been broken, and there was no further action outside.

Many days passed in this state of fear and anxiety, until one day the connection to the spirit world in the dormitory was restored.

Before Zhao Tianxing could figure out what was going on, he heard a knock on the door.

Hearing the knock on the door, he was startled: "Are they here to arrest me?"

Just then, a voice came from outside the door: "Is anyone there? This is Jiang Xunyi, bringing some local specialties for Vice Minister Zhang."

"I'll just leave it at the door."

Then a second voice rang out: "Xiao Jiang? What are you doing here?"

"Minister Qin, I'm here to deliver some local specialties to Vice Minister Zhang. And you are?"

"What a coincidence, I'm also here to deliver some local specialties."

As one after another, cultivators from the Youxin Department brought Zhang Yu local specialties, Zhao Tianxing was filled with surprise: "What happened?"

But when he saw one report after another about Zhang Yu through the connection to the spirit world, he was shocked and exclaimed, "Zhang Yu... has become a hero of Kunxu?"

Just as Zhao Tianxing was feeling shocked, he discovered that someone had added him as a friend.

The other party said, "Hello, are you Zhao Tianxing, a soul cultivator under Zhang Yu?"

Zhao Tianxing thought to himself, "They must have been trying to contact Zhang Yu but couldn't, so they came after me."

Just as Zhao Tianxing made up his mind not to reveal any information about Zhang Yu, he heard the other party say, "We would like to interview you. Do you have time?"

Zhao Tianxing was surprised: "Interview me?"

The other party said, "According to your registration information, Mr. Zhao, you graduated from the Soul Cultivation School on the first floor, and then transferred to a bachelor's degree program with excellent grades during your junior college studies. Afterwards, you followed Zhang Yu all the way to the sect to participate in the work. From the first floor to the eleventh floor, Mr. Zhao, your journey symbolizes the success of the Kunxu reform..."

As he listened to the other person's words, Zhao Tianxing gradually became excited.

"Who would have thought that I, Zhao Tianxing, would one day be interviewed within the sect and even make the news?"

……

The Lower Realm Mutual Aid Association.

In the period immediately following Zhang Yu's arrest, the mutual aid group chat was flooded with messages.

Tian Shenggong, a graduate of the Immortal Soldiers University, Ying Mingchi from the Heavenly Demon University, and Wang Yin from the Netherworld University... one after another, cultivators from lower-world universities were all paying attention to Zhang Yu's situation.

However, as time went by and Zhang Yu remained silent, the group gradually became quiet.

Even today, as news of the Tai Zhen Immortal Clan and Zhang Yu explodes like thunder in the Spirit Realm, the entire group is in an uproar, like water boiling.

Tian Sheng Gong: Did you see that? Have you seen the news about Zhang Yu?
Tian Sheng Gong: As expected of the strongest college student! Zhu Yi Shen Jun! You are the glory of our top ten! [Fire]

Wang Yin: Need I say more? Lord Zhuyi defeated me on the very first level. He's caught a traitor for the sect this time; his future is certainly bright.

Wang Yin: [A photo of the God of Candlelight defeating me on the first floor]

Ying Mingchi: Lord Zhuyi used my demon blood to win the Top Ten Leagues before.

Yingmingchi: [Photos of the breeding process during the competition with the God of Candlelight]

Tian Shenggong looked at the recording of his online battle with Zhang Yu in the live stream, and at the various discussions about Jihu between the two sides... He thought about it but still didn't dare to post it.

Looking at the chat among these people from the lower realms in the group, Wuxiang Zhenjun couldn't help but shake his head: "A bunch of ignorant fools."

As a reincarnated person who was sent from a sect to the lower realm and then re-examined, Wu Xiang believed that his understanding of the sect was far more thorough than that of these people in the lower realm.

Wu Xiang: What do you know? A bright future? Zhang Shenjun has now become the legitimate heir to the immortal bloodline. What does that mean? It means that it won't be long before he becomes a legitimate member of the immortal race!

After Wu Xiang's words, the group fell silent for a moment, and then more information poured out.

Yu Xinghan was also called repeatedly to inquire about Zhang Yu's recent situation.

Yu Xinghan ignored the commotion in the group chat and instead looked at the message Zhang Yu had sent not long ago.

Zhang Yu: I'll be working on the development zone of the old cemetery. The higher-ups have agreed to let me select some people to help.

Zhang Yu: Xinghan, I don't trust anyone else, come and help me.
