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

Chapter 833 Zhang Yu's Goblin Cave?

Inside the meeting room of the Yu Shinbu (a secret society).

Zhang Yu, who had just finished a meeting, rushed over. As soon as he saw Ciji and Lao Gao, he said with great enthusiasm, "Teachers, I have encountered a difficult situation this time and need your help again."

The slight awkwardness that had arisen from not seeing each other for so long was gradually dissolved by Zhang Yu's enthusiasm.

The slight worry that had been weighing on Magnetic Pole and Lao Gao's mind vanished with Zhang Yu's attitude.

After all, Ciji and Lao Gao have been participating in training at the sect for two years and have gained a deep understanding of the sect's atmosphere.

Therefore, before meeting Zhang Yu, they couldn't help but have some doubts. They wondered if Zhang Yu, who now held some power in the sect, would still respect them as before. Would their relationship become a typical superior-subordinate one within the sect?

And... will they even have to call Zhang Yu "Senior"? "Teacher"? "Master" according to the sect's tradition?
Looking at Zhang Yu in front of him, Lao Gao sighed, "You are now more capable than us. We can't help you much in the sect. In the end, you have to rely on yourself."

Magnet curled his lip and said, "Alright, stop beating around the bush and let's get straight to the point."

She looked at Zhang Yu and asked with concern, "Is your current position not comfortable?"

Zhang Yu smiled helplessly and said, "There are indeed quite a few problems. Let's talk as we walk."

A burst of celestial power flashed before Zhang Yu's eyes, and a celestial bridge suddenly descended.

Led by Zhang Yu, the group crossed the bridge to the grotto and arrived at a vast space, which is now the Immortal Grotto, which is over 10 kilometers long, wide and high.

Old Gao exclaimed in shock, "Is this the immortal grotto-heaven that Ying Xintian passed on to you? What a huge independent space! It's comparable to the ancient grotto-heavens!"

Magnet exclaimed in surprise, "Your cave is probably priceless! Even within a sect, it would be considered a first-class property, wouldn't it?"

Listening to their exclamations, Zhang Yu felt a strange sensation, much like a young person bringing their parents to the city to help out and showing them off their newly purchased house.

Yin Quan, walking behind the three, watched this scene silently, his eyes filled with astonishment. He thought to himself, "Just this one cave heaven alone shows that Zhang Yu's potential for immortality is simply earth-shattering."

Watching Zhang Yu, Lao Gao, and Ciji chatting and laughing, Yin Quan felt a pang of longing: "If only Wang Yin could be as successful as his Uncle Zhang."

At the same time, she also felt quite envious of the relationship between Lao Gao, Ciji, and Zhang Yu.

"When they were in the lower realm, they took good care of Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu is also a person with a strong sense of tradition and who remembers old friendships. The two sides have formed a bond."

"Can Zhang Yu and I have such a bond?" Yin Quan shook his head: "A bond is probably impossible, but a bond of achievements, a bond of friendship, or a bond of chickens is possible."

At this moment, Yin Quan Shenjun recalled various pieces of information about the sect's atmosphere.

On the other side, Zhang Yu waved his hand and said, "The Immortal Cave Heaven is theoretically the sect property of the Myriad Laws Sect. I am just managing it on behalf of the sect."

Next, Zhang Yu gave a brief introduction to the general situation of the Immortal Cave Heaven, including its size and the bridge to the cave heaven.

Magnet took a deep breath, inhaling the spiritual energy in the air, and said, "Although this cave doesn't produce spiritual energy, you have the ability to absorb corpse parts and ten cave bridges, which are set up in various parts of the maze to connect you with the spiritual energy outside. For now, it seems to be enough."

Old Gao sensed it for a moment and said, "The spiritual energy here is not much different from that of the old graveyard outside."

Zhang Yu said, "These past few days, I have been keeping the bridge between the cave heavens open, connecting the inner and outer realms, so that the spiritual energy of the cave heavens is sufficient to facilitate the operation of various corpses within the cave heavens."

Next, Zhang Yu gave a general overview of the reconstruction plan, and then said, "Tomorrow I will restore the spatial structure of the Labyrinth office area."

Although Zhang Yu could restore the entire spatial structure of the maze in one go, doing so would be tantamount to weakening his authority.

Therefore, in order to maintain his power and expand his influence in the management committee, Zhang Yu divided the process of restoring the spatial structure into several steps.

Zhang Yu said, "When the cleanup begins, all departments will work together to suppress the rampaging corpses in the office area."

"Teacher Magnetism, Lord Yinquan, I'll need your help to collect my remains in the Immortal Cave Heaven."

"In the future, in addition to directly using some of the corpse parts for combat, I also hope to use the existing corpse parts, as well as the corpse parts that will be suppressed in the future, to form a laboratory and production line in the Immortal Cave Heaven to refine and upgrade our magic weapons and magic bodies."

Zhang Yu knew that, with the support of various cultivation techniques, chain diagrams, and Dao seeds, his abilities were already quite powerful.

However, in terms of magical artifacts, magical artifacts, and other equipment, he was practically a blank slate.

After all, since advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, Zhang Yu has gone through university wars, sect exams, and after joining a sect, he has been busy with work, researching sect-specific techniques, and competing for immortal inheritances... He has never had the opportunity to properly improve his magic weapons and physical bodies, and has not improved his weapon-refining skills for a long time.

"Perfect... taking advantage of this opportunity to clear the labyrinth, I can acquire a large amount of raw materials and equipment. With the help of Teacher Magnetism and Yin Quan, I can set up my own laboratory and production line in the cave..."

Zhang Yu could imagine that once his 32 clones were equipped with various magical treasures and magical artifacts, his overall work ability would be greatly enhanced, and he would be able to gain more power in the management committee.

"Furthermore, there's also Master Magnet's Dao Seed, [The Creation of Heaven and Earth], which can be improved this time as well."

Zhang Yu's gaze swept over Yin Quan: "I just wonder if Yin Quan Divine Lord... has a Dao Seed?"

Then Zhang Yu looked at Lao Gao and said, "Teacher Gao, after the cleanup plan is launched, I will need you to come with me to the maze to do some cleanup work, and also use your civil engineering skills to collect some materials."

Just then, Feng Tingting and Shi Huaiyu, who were sorting through the corpse's remains in the distance, came up to greet Zhang Yu and the three Nascent Soul cultivators.

After quickly conveying the next work arrangements using the document seal, Zhang Yu led them away from the Immortal Cave Heaven and back to the office of the Netherworld Department. He then instructed Yu Xinghan to take the three of them to complete their onboarding procedures.

Looking at the salary of 2000 Immortal Coins, the three of them were slightly surprised. They had participated in two years of training and knew the concept of 2000 Immortal Coins.

Old Gao thought to himself, "A first-level sect affairs officer only earns about 2000 immortal coins, right? Most outsourced workers probably don't get that kind of salary."

Yu Xinghan, who was standing to the side, seemed to see the surprise in the hearts of the three people and said with a smile, "Teacher Gao, Senior Ciji, Senior Yinquan, this is the salary that Zhang Yu specially requested for you. It is basically the highest level of entry salary for outsourced experts. If there is to be a salary increase, you will have to wait until next year."

Not only the salaries of the three Magnetic Pole employees, but also the salaries of the two outsourced employees, Shi Huaiyu and Feng Tingting, were specially increased by Zhang Yu.

Yu Xinghan and Ye Xingli were promoted to the second rank by Zhang Yu under the guise of a job transfer, becoming his secretary and assistant respectively.

Whenever Yu Xinghan thought of this, he couldn't help but feel emotional. The rank that might have taken him 10 years to achieve was accomplished with just one transfer order from Zhang Yu.

This made Yu Xinghan realize even more the importance of power within the sect.

Time flew by and the next day arrived. Accompanied by a violent tremor in the maze, the chaotic spatial structure within the maze's office area gradually recovered under Zhang Yu's control, slowly returning to a normal spatial structure.

As the distorted beams of light and the chaotic building complex returned to normal, the leaders of the management committee and their subordinate cadres at all levels all had a glint in their eyes, as if they could already see countless profits.

In the blink of an eye, a large number of cultivators rushed into the restored office area and began the cleanup task. The first step in the cleanup was to suppress all the berserk corpses.

Zhang Yu soared into the sky, bringing Lao Gao with him as they entered. He was the only one among the chairman and vice-chairmen of the management committee to personally take action at this moment.

This is because the equipment and artifacts in the office area are often not high-end, and the profits they contain are not attractive to cultivators in the Tribulation Transcending or Void Refining stages. Therefore, they will invest their resources elsewhere, mostly in their own assets.

As for the current office area cleanup, they chose to hand it over to their Nascent Soul Realm subordinates, who would then hand over a portion of the profits to them after completing the task.

It won't be until the factory area and experimental area open that the cultivators at the Void Refinement stage will be able to participate one by one.

This is also the operating rule for most departments within the sect.

When a superior assigns a project to a subordinate, the subordinate submits a portion of the profit to the superior upon completion of the project. Meanwhile, the superior focuses most of their efforts on projects at the same level to generate profits, which are then passed on to higher levels.

At this moment, Xie Lanyin, the vice president, silently watched Zhang Yu's actions through her projection, thinking to herself, "A Nascent Soul cultivator is still just a Nascent Soul cultivator. He has to personally take action for such a trivial gain. He's really not up to par."

The next moment, her figure flashed and disappeared from the scene, just like the projections of the other leaders.

At the same time, various colored lights shone in the secret realm, and cultivators began to suppress the corpses.

With a single punch, countless distorted ripples appeared in the air. Large pieces of the berserk corpses had been condensed together by his Heavenly Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power, floating in mid-air like small mountains.

At the same time, Zhang Yu's grotto-heaven within a radius of one thousand meters manifested and covered the material world.

All the small hills of corpses thrown out by Lao Gao were instantly absorbed into the cave as long as they came within a thousand meters of Zhang Yu.

Magnetic Pole then led Yin Quan, Shi Huaiyu, and Feng Tingting to begin sorting and categorizing the corpse parts.

Although Magnetic Pole originally had limited understanding of the corpses, with Zhang Yu's paid acceleration last night, she seized the time to quickly learn about various aspects of the corpses in the old graveyard. Now, with Yin Quan's assistance, everything is going relatively smoothly.

As Zhang Yu sensed the increasing number of corpses within the cave, a thought struck him.

Zhang Yu only sensed the power of a hidden realm within the berserk corpse after arriving at the factory area. He originally thought that only the factory area and experimental area behind the maze contained the power of a hidden realm within the berserk corpse.

But later, as his [Descendant of Immortals] level reached level 6, he was able to vaguely sense the power of the cave heaven from the berserk corpse in the office area, although the amount was less than in other areas.

Now, the fact that he was personally cleaning up the numerous shattered corpses in the office area further confirmed Zhang Yu's suspicions.

"These corpses in the office area... do they really contain the power of a hidden world?"

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Is it because the [Descendant of Immortals] has increased in level and their senses have become more subtle that they were able to detect it?"

At this moment, with a wave of Zhang Yu's hand, wisps of the power of the cave heaven were drawn out from the body of the berserk corpse and surged toward Zhang Yu.

With the convergence of these wisps of celestial power, Zhang Yu felt as if his immortal celestial celestial realm had finished eating. After a slight tremor, it began another slow expansion of space.

At the same time, the frenzied corpses that had been struggling fiercely fell silent as the power of the cave within them returned to the immortal cave before them, completely submitting to Zhang Yu and becoming the divine beasts of this cave.

While a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of Magnet and Yin Quan at the sudden stillness of the corpses, they weren't overly astonished. After all, Zhang Yu had already briefly informed them of this situation beforehand.

As for the reasons and specific principles, the answer to anyone who asks is always the mystery of the immortals' inheritance.

……

While Zhang Yu and his team were clearing away a large number of crazed corpses, the other cleanup teams were also observing him from a distance.

Tu Mu, the director of the Construction Bureau, a level 4 sect affairs officer, and a Nascent Soul cultivator, is one of them.

The so-called Construction Bureau was a subordinate agency of the Management Committee, responsible for the planning and construction of various projects, buildings, and land within the former cemetery development area.

Seeing Zhang Yu personally taking action, Tu Mu thought to himself, "Logically speaking, as the vice president of the management committee, Zhang Yu is in charge of land planning, engineering construction, and infrastructure in the former cemetery development zone. He is my superior."

"But my boss seems to be... lacking in ability outside of the Immortal Cave Heaven, to the point that he has to steal my projects."

When Tu Mu saw Lao Gao assisting Zhang Yu, as well as Ciji, Yinquan, Shi Huaiyu, Feng Tingting and others who appeared from time to time in the cave, he unconsciously frowned.

"We haven't even had a chance to warm our seats for long, and they've already brought in so many smelly cultivators from the lower realms. I heard that many of them have earthen backgrounds, tsk."

"If this continues, are you trying to turn the old graveyard into a hideout for cultivators from the lower realms?"

In Earth terms, Zhang Yu's actions were seen by many cultivators in the Old Graveyard as nothing short of creating a goblin cave.

A subordinate standing nearby said, "It seems he also transferred two lower-level cultivators from other departments to serve as his secretary and assistant."

"I heard that the other vice presidents are quite dissatisfied with what Vice President Zhang has done."

Upon hearing this, Tu Mu frowned even more. Although he was not a supporter of the innate lineage, he was quite displeased with this practice of promoting cultivators from the lower realms. After all, wouldn't this increase the difficulty of competition in the upper realms?

The subordinate next to him asked, "Director, do you think we should hand over the body parts we collected today to Vice Chairman Zhang?"

Tu Mu coldly asked, "Have the other teams submitted theirs?"

Besides Zhang Yu, the vice president in charge of land, and Tu Mu from the Construction Bureau, many other teams also participated in the work of cleaning up the body parts.

There were monks from different departments such as public security, sanitation, and urban management, as well as people hired by religious enterprises, each with different backgrounds.

The subordinate said, "I've checked, and so far no one has handed over the body parts to Vice President Zhang for disposal."

Tu Mu said calmly, "Since no one else is paying, why are we in such a hurry to pay?"

Tu Mu from the Netherworld Sect snorted coldly: "That traitor Ying Xintian is skilled in the power of the cave heaven, but I've never heard of him having any research on corpses."

"We can't compete with Zhang Yu of the Myriad Laws Sect in terms of cave technology, but dissecting corpses is our specialty. How could we possibly be outdone by him?"

"He wants everyone to collect all the body parts and then dispose of them for him? I think he just wants to take this opportunity to extort money and demand favors."

Tu Mu coldly watched Zhang Yu, who was still busy in the distance, and wondered what kind of response this Level 4 sect affairs officer vice president would have next.

If not, then there's no need to take him seriously anymore.
