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

Chapter 844 Compensation in Hand, Turning Kunlun Upside Down
After some haggling, Xie Lanyin still felt that adding another ten million cents to the medical expenses was too much, and repeatedly emphasized that she did not have that much cash on hand.

Xie Lanyin explained again: "I am just a level 6 religious affairs officer. In the development zone, I am considered a big shot. But back in the White Bone Cult, I am just an ordinary middle-level manager. Most of my assets are fixed assets. I really don't have that much cash."

Zhang Yu looked at Xie Lanyin in front of him and said, "Then... you don't need to pay for the follow-up treatment. I'll figure out how to take care of it myself."

"But your first payment of 640 million cents must be credited to your account today."

“I can accept that you pay back the remaining 360 million in three installments, at 10 fen coins per month.”

Xie Lan's eyes flickered, realizing that Zhang Yu was using the promise of "not having to pay medical expenses" to get him to "pay more immortal coins."

Upon hearing Zhang Yu's words, the doctor standing nearby was alarmed and advised, "Vice President Zhang, your health is the most important thing. Given your current condition, you may need long-term treatment. I don't recommend that you give up medical compensation..."

Zhang Yu waved his hand and said, "I know my own body. After talking to Vice President Xie about the compensation, my condition is getting better and better."

"Vice President Xie, what do you have to say?"

Under pressure from Bu Yingshu, Xiao Yunhe, Kurong Tongzi, and various enterprises, Xie Lanyin sighed helplessly and finally agreed to the compensation.

After Zhang Yu and Xie Lan signed a compensation agreement and 640 million immortal coins were deposited into Zhang Yu's account, to everyone's surprise, he quickly got out of bed and tore off all the medical artifacts on his body.

Their movements were so swift, as if they were afraid that if they lay there any longer, they would have to pay an extra penny.

Seeing this, the doctor quickly stepped forward to stop him: "Vice President Zhang, you are still not out of danger..."

Zhang Yu waved his hand and said, "After accepting these 640 million immortal coins, I feel much better and probably don't need any more treatment."

The doctor glanced at Zhang Yu and observed him briefly. He could tell that Zhang Yu's vital signs had indeed risen. His heart sank: "This is bad. If the patient continues like this, he'll be out of danger!"

Zhang Yu said to everyone, "Perhaps it's the effect of the immortal's inheritance, but I feel that I need to return to the immortal's cave to better recover my body."

"Bu Daojun, Chairman Xiao, Vice Chairman Xie, I need to go back and heal my injuries first."

After he finished speaking, the power of the grotto-heaven suddenly surged around him, and with one step, he was about to leave the clinic and return to the immortal grotto-heaven.

Bu Yingshu followed closely behind, snorting coldly, "Wait, I'll go back with you."

The doctor, witnessing this scene, felt a surge of panic: "Oh no, the patient is about to be discharged!"

He quickly said, "Vice President Zhang, the immortal spiritual root flowing from your body..."

That was the basic immortal spiritual root that Zhang Yu had purchased in the past for 20,000 immortal coins.

After being damaged in the battle, he didn't even try to repair it. Instead, he took it out as a bargaining chip to demand compensation from Sheryl.

The immortal coins had already arrived in his account, and Zhang Yu didn't want to stay in the clinic for even a moment longer.

He naturally had no interest in the immortal spiritual root that was already broken and useless.

As for his own Feather Spirit Root, he temporarily removed it and hid it away.

Then, Zhang Yu said without turning his head, "I'm donating it to you for research purposes. Consider it a contribution to the sect's medical cause. No need to thank me."

President Xiao Yunhe reminded him, "Vice President Zhang, remember to restore the spiritual connection of the maze as soon as possible."

The next moment, the power of the cave dissipated, and Zhang Yu and Bu Yingshu disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving only a doctor with a sorrowful face, who sighed inwardly, "Alas, a million-dollar medical bill... just like that, gone."

A doctor who refuses to accept treatment would have been dealt with by an ordinary cultivator long ago. Unfortunately, Zhang Yu is extraordinary in terms of rank, power, strength, and background. He is no longer someone that the clinic can treat or rip off at will, leaving the doctors to sigh in despair.

Xie Lanyin was slightly startled by this scene, amazed by Zhang Yu's rapid recovery and marveling at the power of the immortal's inheritance.

But then she thought of the 640 million immortal coins she had already sent, and the 10 immortal coins she would have to send every month, and a wave of sadness washed over her.

"Is this what you call being seriously injured and on the verge of death?" Xie Lanyin said coldly. "I think he's clearly extorting money."

Xiao Yunhe said calmly, "Vice President Xie, do you want to spread the word that as the vice president of the management committee and a sixth-level Void Refinement cultivator, you failed to seriously injure Vice President Zhang with a single blow, and that the other party is still alive and kicking?"

Hearing these words, Xie Lanyin felt a surge of frustration.

She knew she must never publicize such a thing.

She's already suffered the loss, and she's already paid the compensation. If she were to spread rumors about Zhang Yu being alive and kicking now, it would only weaken her own power.

Not only can she not publicize it, she also has to actively keep it a secret and suppress such news.

As her thoughts raced, Xie Lanyin grew angrier and angrier.

"This matter must not be left like this."

Her gaze fell on Lu Hengzhang in her contacts, on this Level 4 Clan Affairs Officer belonging to the Imperial Law Pavilion.

Xie Lanyin thought to herself, "Zhang Yu used the White Bone Sect's leaders and clansmen to deal with me... So why can't I use your myriad methods to deal with you?"

"The feud and conflict between the Spirit Weapon Faction and the Soul Cultivation Faction... is quite deep."

……

On the other side, as soon as Bu Yingshu returned to the Immortal Cave Heaven with Zhang Yu, she suddenly kicked Zhang Yu.

"Zhang Yu! Were you not actually that badly injured in the first place?!"

Without the Feather Spirit Root and without the blessing of the Overlord Body effect, Zhang Yu was unable to move and fell directly to the ground under Bu Ying Shu's power at the Void Refinement level. Bu Ying Shu stomped him hard on the ground and he was unable to move.

Recalling her anxious and angry expression when she thought the beast was going to die, Bu Yingshu stomped on Zhang Yu twice more and said, "Zhang Yu! Do you think you can play me like this just because you left the Land of Ten Thousand Laws?"

"Think clearly about where your roots are!"

Feeling the terrifying power emanating from Bu Yingshu's long legs, Zhang Yu quickly explained, "Daojun, I really didn't lie to you. I truly felt like I was about to die. After all, how could I, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator, possibly block a Void Refining Finger and escape serious injury?"

Upon hearing these words, Bu Yingshu slowed down, but she was already somewhat convinced, and unconsciously reduced the force in her steps.

She herself was a Void Refinement cultivator and knew all too well how big the gap was between the Nascent Soul and Void Refinement stages. It was normal for Zhang Yu to be severely injured and even on the verge of death by a single blow.

Feeling the power contained in Bu Yingshu's feet weaken slightly, Zhang Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "As expected, this woman still trusts me quite a bit."

Fu Ji also said, "Zhang Yu! Although it seems like she's on top and you're on the bottom right now, the real power is with you! You're the one who truly stands up!"

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Fu Ji, your judgment of the situation is becoming more and more accurate."

Fuki thought to herself, "Heh heh, as expected... Zhang Yu still trusts me quite a bit. Normally, when subordinates see their leaders in such a disgraceful state, it's best to remain completely transparent. But I'm going to do the opposite and join in, so that every time Zhang Yu recalls such a profound memory, he'll think of me."

Fu Ji reminded him, "Zhang Yu! Don't stop, keep licking her! She's starting to press harder with her feet again."

The mental exchange was completed in an instant. Zhang Yu felt Bu Yingshu's skeptical gaze and continued, "Later, perhaps because of the immortal's inheritance, I felt my injuries gradually heal."

"But when I contacted you, Daoist Master... I really thought I was about to die. I glanced at my bank account and figured I didn't have enough money to revive myself. I only had one thought in my mind, which was to contact you, Daoist Master."

Bu Yingshu snorted: "What? You want me to lend you money? Or did you already plan to ask me to help you get compensation from Xie Lanyin back then?"

Zhang Yu said, "At that time, I thought that if I couldn't live to continue serving you, Dao Lord, then I would die and become a soul cultivator under your command, continuing to work for you."

"What nonsense! What use would I have for a soul cultivator like you from the lower realms?"

Bu Yingshu turned her head away: "Zhang Yu, you remember this, you are my person. What I want is a living person who can refine cultivation techniques with me. If you die, you will be of no value to me. I have no interest in a soul cultivator of your level!"

She thought back to how Zhang Yu had helped her break through her talent, and couldn't help but think to herself, "That good-for-nothing Zhang Yu is doing increasingly dangerous work. If it weren't for me protecting him, he would have been beaten to death long ago... I need to find an opportunity to drag him along to refine the cultivation technique and quickly unleash my talent."

"Hmph... Once I've completely squeezed out all your usefulness and perfected my unparalleled talent, I won't care whether you live or die."

Thinking of this, Bu Yingshu withdrew her long leg, then gently kicked Zhang Yu a few times, urging, "Alright, what are you doing lying down during work hours? Get up and get to work."

"First, restore the connection to the spirit world. Next, try to finish the other work of the management committee a few days earlier. I still have many tasks to assign to you."

Zhang Yu's figure flashed, and he floated up, saying, "I'll go restore the connection to the spirit world first."

Watching the departing figure, Bu Yingshu suddenly said coldly, "Where do you plan to spend the newly acquired 640 million?"

Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback and said, "I haven't thought about it yet."

Bu Yingshu casually said, "Once you've decided, just send me a list of what you want to buy."

Seeing Zhang Yu's puzzled look, Bu Yingshu suddenly felt a surge of impatience and inexplicable annoyance, and said, "I can get discounts when I buy things, understand?"

Zhang Yu thought helplessly, "Why are you angry again?"

He could only quickly reply, "Understood, Daoist Master. I'll send you the list as soon as I've made up my mind."

"Then I'll go to work now."

Watching Zhang Yu's figure disappear on the Cave Heaven Bridge, Bu Yingshu's anger gradually subsided.

"People from the lower realm are just people from the lower realm, don't they understand that... do I have to explain it to them? What a hassle."

"This cave is so shabby, it's just a doghouse."

Bu Yingshu lifted her foot to leave, but before entering the bridge to the cave, she seemed to remember something. Suddenly, she made a hand seal and quickly scanned the entire cave.

Finding no one who shouldn't be there, nor any inexplicable traces of sword energy or intent, Bu Yingshu was slightly satisfied. ...

On the other side, in the office area of ​​the labyrinth.

In this area, which has lost its connection to the spirit world and is currently under complete shutdown, Zhang Yu's figure quietly appeared.

Bai Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Zhang Yu appear unharmed.

Zhang Yu secretly met with Bai Zhenzhen because he had temporarily hidden his Feather Spirit Root in Bai Zhenzhen's dantian.

Through the manifestation of the grotto-heaven, Zhang Yu can exist simultaneously in the immortal grotto-heaven and the material world, and can also connect with the dark spirit realm within the immortal grotto-heaven at any time to grasp the situation within the entire grotto-heaven.

After seeing Bu Yingshu leave the cave, Zhang Yu then led Bai Zhenzhen into the Immortal Cave.

After a few familiar shudders, Bai Zhenzhen successfully returned the Feather Spirit Root to Zhang Yu's body.

The two then communicated in their minds using the power of the evil god.

Bai Zhenzhen asked, "Yu Zi, is it all done?"

Zhang Yu smiled slightly, a hint of arrogance flashing across his face, and briefly recounted what had happened.

Upon hearing that Zhang Yu had made 640 million yuan in one go, and would receive 10 yuan every month in the future, Bai Zhenzhen wished she could be the one to be beaten up.

She couldn't help but say, "Damn it, Fu Ji was right after all. Sure enough, the most promising business in Kunxu is fraud! It makes money much faster than a job."

Fu Ji: "I already told you how to climb up Kunxu and get rich. I told you all on the first floor."

Just then, Bai Zhenzhen's eyes flickered slightly when she saw the footprints on Zhang Yu's body. She knew that these were the marks left by Bu Yingshu on Zhang Yu's body.

Bai Zhenzhen asked, "Was it Bu Yingshu who stepped on it again?"

Zhang Yu waved his hand and said, "It's okay. It looks like she's putting me down, but actually I've taken the initiative. She just agreed to help me buy things. You know that the Myriad Laws Immortal Clan can get discounts on many things, right?"

The confident look on his good brother's face was just Zhang Yu putting on a brave face in Bai Zhenzhen's eyes. After all... how can someone who is trampled underfoot hold the initiative?

Moreover, the footprints were only what Bai Zhenzhen could see. Heaven knows what kind of humiliation Zhang Yu endured when he was being trampled on.

After all, on the first and second floors, the ways in which the rich insulted the poor were already incredibly varied in Bai Zhenzhen's eyes.

As a member of the Myriad Laws Immortal Clan within the sect, and a high-ranking existence in the Kunxu 11th to 20th levels, how insane would Bu Yingshu be? Bai Zhenzhen couldn't help but pat Zhang Yu on the shoulder after just a casual thought.

"...I kind of want to watch it, but I can't exactly have Yu Zi record it for me, can I? Wouldn't that be rubbing salt into his wounds? He's not like me, the kind of person who would kneel down for money. He must have been in a lot of pain when Bu Ying Shu bullied him, right?"

"If it were Yu Zi on the first or second floor, she probably wouldn't have been able to tolerate this kind of thing."

Thinking of this, Bai Zhenzhen sighed inwardly, "Alas, the sect... has unknowingly changed both me and Zhang Yu."

Faced with Zhang Yu's forced smile, Bai Zhenzhen couldn't bear to expose him, and simply said, "You actually managed to get the Immortal Clan to give you a discount, Yu Zi, you're getting more and more amazing."

As a companion who had spent many years together and climbed up from the first floor, how could Zhang Yu's eyes escape the emotional changes in Bai Zhenzhen's eyes?

"Is it because of the influence of the Extreme Emotion Sword Path and the Sorrow Sword Path? They are clearly the closest of partners, but because of Bu Ying Shu, they can only meet secretly. Ah Zhen must be feeling very sad."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Just bear with it a little longer, Zhen. Once I reach the 7th rank and break through to the Tribulation Transcending Realm, surpassing Bu Yingshu, she will no longer be able to stop us from meeting openly."

Bai Zhenzhen looked at Zhang Yu and thought to herself, "Just bear with it a little longer, Yu Zi. Once I push the old version of the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao to the sect's level, or even the Heaven-Opening Realm, and win the Heavenly Evolution Award, I will definitely be able to protect you."

……

After seeing Bai Zhenzhen off, Zhang Yu first restored one-third of the spirit world connection in the Maze office area.

He certainly didn't intend to restore the spirit world connection of the maze in one fell swoop with a wave of his hand, but planned to restore it gradually over 10 days.

On the one hand, it can demonstrate the difficulty of restoring the connection to the spirit world; on the other hand, it can also provide a safer opportunity to organize manpower to subdue the refining corpses without the protection of the spirit world.

This way, there's no need to worry about anyone interfering recklessly.

At the same time, Zhang Yu also began to consider how to spend the 640 million immortal coins he had.

He knew that in Kunxu, especially in a sect, there were far too many places to spend money.

640 million may seem like a lot, but if invested in the path of immortality, it can be spent in no time.

So Zhang Yu began to carefully plan how to use these immortal coins.

What do I need right now?

Zhang Yu recalled his previous experiences exploring the labyrinth alone, battling Ying Aikun, and leading a team to suppress the Refined Void Corpse.

He could sense that although his abilities in self-preservation and support were already quite perfect, even surpassing those of other cultivators at the same level, he was ultimately lacking in the power to directly confront opponents.

“Strength…whether in work or combat, it has become a weakness of mine.”

"What I need now is a means to unleash pure, powerful force."

"If I could possess even greater power, it would not only improve my efficiency in subduing the Void Refining Corpse Parts, but also reduce the damage to the Corpse Parts during the suppression process."

Zhang Yu also thought that after the development zone was cleared up, there would be various construction projects.

As the leader in charge of this area, he also needs stronger resources to improve work efficiency and maintain authority.

"Compared to magical treasures, magical artifacts, or talismans, what we really need is a cultivation technique from a celestial sect, right?"

"After all, for me, who possesses the Feather Book and has mastered these Dao Seeds and Chain Technique Diagrams... a cultivation technique in my hands can have a more miraculous effect, and I don't have to spend time and effort to master it like others."

When Zhang Yu thought of the formidable power and construction capabilities, he thought of the "Heavenly Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power" and its associated chain diagram, "Overturning Kunlun".

"If I buy a cultivation technique from the [Reversing Kunlun] lineage... I can also complete this set of chain technique diagrams while I'm at it."

Zhang Yu's Chain Technique Diagram's [Reversed Kunlun] had already reached the level of (8/8) thanks to the Seven Absolute Techniques of Earth and Wood, as well as Kunlun in the Palm. He only needed two more techniques to complete the set of 10 and unlock the third level of effect.

So, Zhang Yu opened the various martial arts techniques he had previously recorded.

Back when Zhang Yu was in the Imperial Law Pavilion, he often searched for various cultivation techniques, checked the chain diagrams to which each technique belonged, and recorded the information on the techniques he valued as his future goals.

At this moment, Zhang Yu was looking up the only two cultivation techniques that he could find at the time, which belonged to the Chain Technique Diagram [Reversing Kunlun].

One of them, called "Pulling Kunlun and Turning the Heavens Divine Power," is a true transmission technique of the Immortal Sect. Unlike the cheaper price of the "Formless Martial Arts" series of techniques, this "Pulling Kunlun and Turning the Heavens Divine Power" requires a full 300 million Immortal Coins and 5000 Dao Points.

Zhang Yu also understood that some genuine teachings were cheaper. For example, the "Formless Martial Arts" series of techniques was cheaper per book because it was divided into multiple parts and required multiple sets to be effective.

Many authentic cultivation techniques from immortal sects can easily fetch prices exceeding one million immortal coins.

The other cultivation technique is called "Great Freedom and Inconceivable Power," which is a sect-level treasure technique of the immortal sect. Its price is even more terrifying, requiring a full 15 billion immortal coins and 500 million Dao power.

Of course, this price is normal among sect-level cultivation techniques. When Zhang Yu checked cultivation techniques in the Imperial Law Pavilion before, sect-level techniques started at 1 billion immortal coins.

Whenever Zhang Yu thought about the price of these sect-protecting cultivation techniques, he felt a pang of regret. On the one hand, he was amazed by how expensive these techniques were, and on the other hand, he was glad that he had secretly learned the sect-protecting cultivation technique "Blood Tide Essence Holy View" by taking advantage of the Imperial Law Pavilion's access to examine cultivation techniques.

"The sect's signature techniques... are not intended for mid- to low-level sect affairs officers at all."

"The Great Freedom and Inconceivable Power...I cannot consider it in the short term."

"I can now afford the 'Heaven-Turning Divine Power of Pulling Kunlun'."

As for Immortal Coins, Zhang Yu's current 640 million Immortal Coins are certainly enough.

As for Dao cultivation, its sources are not as widespread as immortal coins; it is often only obtained from sect rewards.

Fortunately, after Zhang Yu was hailed as a hero of Kunxu, he was rewarded with 5000 Dao merits. Including the Dao merits he had already accumulated, that amounted to a total of 5500 Dao merits.

The only pity is that this kind of immortal-level true inheritance technique belonging to the Wanfa Sect cannot be given to others, so Zhang Yu will not be able to enjoy the discount effect of Bu Yingshu.

But a hint of hesitation arose in Zhang Yu's heart.

"Is it worth spending 300 million immortal coins to buy a true cultivation technique for me right now?"

The reason why this thought came to mind was that Zhang Yu had mastered a strategic-level technique like "Kunlun in the Palm" and had also cultivated a sect-defining technique like "Blood Tide Essence and Qi Sacred View". Now he was somewhat looking down on the true teaching techniques.

If this "The Divine Power to Overturn Kunlun" hadn't been a "Reversal of Kunlun" technique, he wouldn't have bothered to check it out at all.

Just as Zhang Yu was hesitating, Huang Niu suddenly said, "Let's go with this one."

Zhang Yu's heart stirred, and he asked curiously, "Is there anything special about this cultivation technique?"

Wild Ox said silently, "The techniques of the [Overturning Kunlun] lineage should all have been created by the same person. If my memory serves me right, this [Overturning Kunlun and Turning the Heavens Divine Power], when combined with the other techniques you have mastered, will produce even more wondrous effects when all nine techniques are used together..."

After listening to Huang Niu's introduction, Zhang Yu finally decided to buy the cultivation technique.

The next moment... with the disappearance of 300 million immortal coins and 5000 Dao power, the copyright of "Pulling Kunlun and Turning the Heavens Divine Power" had been granted to Zhang Yu, and the main text of the technique appeared before him.
