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

Chapter 832 The stronger the cultivation, the stronger the ability.
As the group from the Magnetic Pole arrived at the transportation center of the Central Pole Heaven and crossed the gate of the space station, they immediately felt the invasion of Yin energy. Their entire bodies, including their thoughts and primordial spirit, felt a chill.

"Is this the old graveyard?" Magnet thought to himself. "Just as the rumors say, it's not a place suitable for the living to live in."

Yin Quan Shenjun, standing to the side, took a deep breath, feeling the nourishment of the Yin energy in the air, and it seemed that even his primordial spirit became more active.

Clearly, as a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Netherworld University, Yin Quan Shenjun was better suited to the environment of the old graveyard due to his cultivation method and the physical body and primordial spirit on his body.

Old Gao's eyes flickered, and in the spirit world, a series of dotted arrows were projected, pointing towards the direction of the Youxin Division.

He said, "Let's go, Zhang Yu should be waiting for us."

The three transformed into three beams of divine light, traversing the sky and arriving above the Youxin tribe in the blink of an eye.

However, as outsourced personnel, they are often portrayed as having 99% transparency in the settings of many administrative staff, and are essentially ignored.

So even after circling above the Department of Ghosts and waiting for a long time at the entrance of the office building, it seemed that no one paid any attention to him.

Seeing this, Ciji gave a wry smile and said, "As expected, the cultivators in this sect basically don't take outsourced cultivators seriously, or even block them out completely."

Just then, two figures quickly walked out of the office building and headed straight for the three Magnetic Pole members.

Old Gao's eyes flickered, and he was surprised to find that the people who came out were Yu Xinghan and Ye Xingli.

The divine light surrounding them subsided slightly, and Magnet and Lao Gao stepped forward, smiling slightly, "You've come too."

Yu Xinghan, like Zhang Yu, came from the Department of Civil Engineering. Although he did not receive guidance from Lao Gao like Zhang Yu did, he also attended Lao Gao's classes and received help from the former head of the Department of Civil Engineering. They were also teacher and student.

As for Ciji and Ye Xingli, they were originally master and apprentice in the weapon crafting department. Ye Xingli became Ciji's disciple a few years earlier than Zhang Yu.

The two pairs of masters and disciples met in the sect and sighed with emotion. They greeted each other and chatted about their recent situations.

Ciji looked at Ye Xingli and said, "I didn't expect Zhang Yu to transfer you here too."

Ye Xingli said, "If it weren't for Vice President Zhang's recommendation, I probably wouldn't have had this opportunity and would still be stuck in the Wanhai Pavilion doing odd jobs and tiring work."

Although Zhang Yu told Ye Xingli not to follow the sect's customs and to just call him junior brother, the longer Ye Xingli stayed in the sect, the more she felt that doing so was very inappropriate.

So she asked Tianwenxing about her hesitation.

This highly intelligent spirit reminded Ye Xingli of the poor man simulator she used in the lower realm in the past.

However, behind the poor man simulator, there may be real paupers—the soul cultivators—involved.

Behind the highly intelligent spirit is a truly intelligent entity that encompasses countless sect information.

Tianwen Star: Hmm, this is a typical problem of interpersonal relationships within a sect. The questioner actually had a vague feeling that something was wrong, which is why they came to verify it. Judging from previous information, the questioner and their junior brother might have rather old-fashioned ideas, so the answer should be...

Tianwenxing: Your current concerns and hesitations about the form of address are very reasonable. Judging from your previous description, your junior brother has the quality of cherishing old friendships like those of ancient cultivators. The bond between you and him transcends that of the new generation of Kunxu people. Using the old form of address will indeed solidify your relationship.

However, it's important to note that he has now been promoted to a leadership position and holds the 4th rank, while you are a 1st rank newcomer. In the sect's work environment, especially in front of other colleagues, it's not advisable for you to address your leader as "junior brother"...

Ultimately, Ye Xingli decided to address Zhang Yu as her junior brother in private, but still use his title in work settings.

Hearing the way Ye Xingli addressed him, Ciji felt a pang of emotion, as if he were recalling the days in university when Zhang Yu was still following Ye Xingli around, learning weapon crafting. Now, unknowingly, the two had become superior and subordinate within the sect.

Watching the two pairs of masters and disciples interact, Yin Quan couldn't help but feel a pang of envy: "All four of them were promoted because of their relationship with Zhang Yu."

"This guy's promotion machine seems to be incredibly powerful and fast; even a little bit of contact with him can get you a chance..."

"The environment of the old cemetery is actually quite suitable for me to perform well, which is probably why Zhang Yu transferred me here."

Yin Quan Shenjun made up his mind that he must hold on tightly to Zhang Yu as a promotion tool, make full use of his strengths, and try to earn more money by working for Zhang Yu.

"Wang Yin has only recently joined the sect, and it's probably time for him to start using immortal coins..."

Led by Yu Xinghan, the group arrived at a conference room. Yu Xinghan said to the three Nascent Soul cultivators, "Vice President Zhang is still in a meeting and will be here later."

……

Meanwhile, an important meeting concerning the redevelopment plan of the former cemetery development zone is being held across the spirit world among the leaders of the management committee.

In the main seat of the Spirit Realm Conference Room, Xiao Yunhe, the current chairman of the management committee and a Transcending Tribulation cultivator of the 7th rank, was presiding over the meeting.

On either side of the conference room were four vice presidents, including Zhang Yu.

However, apart from Zhang Yu, the other three vice presidents are all Void Refinement cultivators at the sixth rank.

This made Zhang Yu, who was also a vice president but only had the fourth rank and the cultivation level of a Nascent Soul cultivator, stand out in the Spirit Realm conference room.

With the ultra-fast flow of information, countless words and images were transmitted to every cultivator in the conference as President Xiao Yunhe narrated.

Suddenly, President Xiao Yunhe stopped, looked at Zhang Yu, and asked, "Vice President Zhang, what do you think?"

Instantly, the other three vice presidents also focused their attention on Zhang Yu.

However, some of those gazes were scrutinizing, some were probing, some were watching the show, and some were waiting for Zhang Yu to make a fool of himself.

In these high-level leadership meetings of the management committee, the speed of thought is accelerated by more than a hundred times.

However, the amount of information processed by Void Refinement cultivators and Tribulation Transcending cultivators after their thinking is accelerated is far beyond what Nascent Soul cultivators can match. Even if they both experience a hundredfold increase in speed, the gap between them will only widen.

In everyone's eyes, Zhang Yu, who only had the cultivation level of Nascent Soul, was probably already out of touch with the thinking in the meeting, and was about to make a fool of himself.

Another vice president, Xie Lanyin, a sixth-level Void Refinement cultivator, coldly watched this scene, thinking to herself, "Hmph, I don't look down on Nascent Soul cultivators, but with Nascent Soul cultivation, their thinking can't even keep up. They've only been in the lower realm for two years, what do they know about sect construction? They still want to hold onto their position as vice president of the management committee?"

In Xie Lanyin's view, given the difference in cultivation level and rank, even if Zhang Yu was promoted to this position, it would mean he had taken something she was not worthy of. She could at least remain a mascot and maybe survive until the project ended; otherwise, she would only be thrown off.

But the next moment, under the slightly surprised gazes of everyone, Zhang Yu spoke eloquently: "The reconstruction work cannot be carried out blindly. According to the current assessment, the cleanup of the entire maze is extremely complicated."

"How should we deal with abandoned factories and defunct enterprises? Does the original industrial positioning from three years ago still fit the current market? These are all questions we need to consider."

"Besides that, there's the issue of resource utilization from the ruins. Although a large area of ​​the labyrinth has been reduced to ruins by the rampaging corpses, if we can recover the rampaging corpses one by one and sift and transform various building materials, it will be a great help to our subsequent reconstruction work..."

Listening to Zhang Yu's confident and eloquent manner, Vice President Xie Lanyin sneered inwardly: "It seems he used some kind of magic weapon or spiritual service."

Meanwhile, Fu Ji secretly sighed in Zhang Yu's heart: "Damn it... the difference in cultivation level and realm makes even holding a meeting difficult." Zhang Yu was also secretly glad. If it weren't for the multiple thinking brought by the "Boundless Mind Dharma Body" and the real clone brought by the "Myriad Transformations Freedom Profound Art", he probably wouldn't have been able to keep up with the meeting speed of these Void Refinement cultivators present.

“But I… have done my best, while they are handling it with ease.”

Zhang Yu sighed inwardly. This was the difference in governance and productivity brought about by the difference in cultivation level.

"And holding meetings is just the most basic aspect."

Watching the vice presidents at the conference table grab various tasks one by one, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "The stronger one's cultivation, the stronger one's abilities."

"They possess the cultivation level of the Void Refinement Realm, making them the strongest productive force in their own right. They can compete for missions and seize power without any scruples."

Zhang Yu knew that if he allowed these Void Refinement cultivators to take over all the work, his influence in the management committee would be reduced to the minimum, and even if the development zone was rebuilt in the future, he would not have any credit.

After all, the chairman and vice-chairmen of the management committee can complete most of the work required for the reconstruction by virtue of their powerful cultivation. While taking the initiative to undertake and complete these tasks, they naturally gain the most power and the most merit in the management committee.

Under the sect's strict surveillance, it's too easy to tell whether someone is trying to take advantage of the situation.

Then Zhang Yu will be considered to have failed the trials or tests that his superiors put him through.

But with his mere Nascent Soul cultivation, how could he compete with Void Refinement cultivators? How could he achieve greater merit in the reconstruction work?

"I still need the strength that Senior Ying gave me..."

The words the giant corpse had once spoken echoed in Zhang Yu's mind again.

"In Kunxu, as long as it is the power of an immortal, it can extend into authority. However, how much effect this authority can ultimately produce and how much benefit it can bring depends entirely on the user's methods."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "The ability Senior Ying gave me grants me the authority to restore the chaotic space of the maze. This is the ticket for me to become the vice president of the management committee."

"But if I simply restore the spatial structure as required, I will only become a tool for the Refinement Dao Lords, a tool for them to rebuild the development zone."

"I need to use this authority to expand my influence in the management committee and try to narrow the gap in ability with the Refinement Void Dao Lords."

"So...where should I start?"

Just as Zhang Yu's mind was racing, Zhan Xian said, "Corpse parts."

Zhang Yu nodded inwardly: "There are many Nascent Soul stage and even Void Refinement stage corpses in the maze. With the ability Senior Ying gave me, I can suppress them and command them within the Immortal Cave Heaven."

Originally, transforming berserk corpses into celestial beasts would be limited by the celestial realm's boundaries, making it difficult for the corpses to have any effect on the material world outside the celestial realm.

However, since Zhang Yu's [Descendant of Immortals] leveled up to level 6, he gained the ability to manifest his own grotto-heaven, which can cover an area of ​​one thousand meters in radius, greatly increasing the influence of the grotto-heaven beast on the material world.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "If I can subdue the berserk corpse at the Void Refinement level, it will greatly narrow the gap in ability between me and Void Refinement cultivators."

Fu Ji reminded them, "Moreover, although these Void Refinement cultivators have unfathomable cultivation levels and are more capable than us, and they can also utilize the power of the laws, the stronger their abilities, the greater their burdens. They also have other projects to do and assets that need to grow."

"Therefore, they cannot devote all their cultivation to the reconstruction of the development zone. But we can. We are going all in and putting all our strength into the development zone."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu nodded slightly, thinking to himself, "Just like immortals don't easily use their power downwards, but need to invest it in projects that maintain high growth, cultivators at the Void Refinement stage, while not quite like immortals, also can't possibly devote all their cultivation to a single task."

"This is an inevitable result of the profit-seeking nature of the Kunxu cultivators."

Meanwhile, the next steps in the cleanup plan for the reconstruction and development zone have been largely finalized at the meeting.

Although Zhang Yu had just demonstrated that he could keep up with the pace of the meeting, neither the president nor the other vice presidents asked him any further questions during the meeting.

After all, in their eyes, Zhang Yu, who only had the cultivation level of Nascent Soul, should just follow them and get by in the reconstruction project, and not interfere.

As the meeting was about to end, Vice President Xie Lanyin thought to herself, "It seems that Zhang Yu is quite sensible. He should just be a tool for restoring the spatial structure and not jeopardize the project."

Just then, Zhang Yu suddenly spoke up: "President, I have a few points to make regarding the cleanup of the berserk corpses."

President Xiao Yunhe nodded, and the other three vice presidents also looked over.

One was undergoing tribulation, and the other three were at the Void Refinement stage. Even though they had crossed the Spirit Realm at this moment and had not released any pressure, the extremely high amount of information they brought with them in the Spirit Realm was enough to make Zhang Yu feel a sense of tension, which stimulated his magic power to accelerate slightly.

Zhang Yumo circulated his breathing techniques to stabilize his internal energy and calmly said, "Because the area of ​​the maze is extremely large, I need to restore the spatial disorder in multiple steps."

"Secondly, many of the mad corpses in the maze contain the residual power of the cave heaven from the rebellious immortal Yingxintian. If they are not removed one by one, it may cause problems with the restoration of the spatial structure and lead to unpredictable errors."

President Xiao Yunhe said calmly, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Yu said, "I hope that during the process of clearing the maze, all the maddened corpses can be sent to me so that I can complete the cleansing of the cave's power."

On the other side, Vice President Xie Lan frowned and said with a doubtful look, "Would the small amount of celestial power sealed in the corpse really affect the restoration of the spatial structure? Do you have any evidence?"

While most of the maddened corpse parts are not valuable individually, the maddened corpse parts in the entire maze, especially those containing many Nascent Soul and Void Refinement corpse parts, constitute a considerable fortune.

In particular, since the management committee was jointly established by multiple sects, cultivators like Vice President Xie Lanyin from the White Bone Sect, who are skilled in the Void Refinement stage, place even greater importance on the value of corpse parts.

She would certainly not be willing to collect the remains of a crazed corpse for Zhang Yu for nothing.

Faced with Xie Lanyin's questioning, Zhang Yu simply said, "This is the situation I sensed after mastering the immortal's inheritance. If Vice President Xie Lanyin feels it's unnecessary, then so be it. If there are problems with the restoration of the spatial structure, then you will bear the consequences."

Xie Lan gave Zhang Yu a deep look and didn't question him any further.

The labyrinth, the chaotic space, and the power of the grotto-heaven are all remnants left behind by Ying Xintian.

Aside from Zhang Yu himself, the other cultivators present could not determine the truth of what Zhang Yu said, and if they wanted to restore the spatial structure, they could only do as Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Yu understood that this was also a difference brought about by Ying Xintian's higher cultivation level and higher-dimensional abilities, and the impact of this difference on power.

Seeing that his suggestion had been approved at the meeting, Zhang Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "With more berserk corpses, I can further improve my productivity."

"After Teacher Gao arrives, he can use his proficient civil engineering skills to help collect materials in the maze. Teacher Magnet can help me modify corpse parts and build a production line. If there are any technical issues related to corpse parts, I can also get support from Yin Quan..."

Although things seemed to be going smoothly at the beginning, Zhang Yu knew that this was just the start. These cultivators, who came from different sects, represented different interest groups, and possessed higher cultivation levels, would never allow him to expand his influence in the management committee and promote his own ideas.

Just like the matter of collecting the remains of the crazed corpses, passing the resolution at the meeting is one thing, but the execution is another. At that time, these cultivators and their subordinates may not be able to cooperate wholeheartedly.
