You dare to cultivate without money?!-Chapter 356 - 305: Wilderness Construction Site (Thanks to ’I am a reader’ for the third alliance leader reward)

Chapter 356: Chapter 305: Wilderness Construction Site (Thanks to ’I am a reader’ for the third alliance leader reward)

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed, and the days have unknowingly reached December.

During this half month, Zhang Yu indeed spent quite a few spirit coins.

At this moment, he is sitting cross-legged in his dormitory, holding a white jade-colored orb and feeling a warm, tranquil flow of mana within it.

This is the Xuanzao Relic rented by Zhang Yu, capable of storing and withdrawing mana.

According to the manufacturer’s statement, each relic can be produced only after a master at Vajra University cremated one, making each relic unique, personally obtained through cremation.

But later, Zhang Yu inquired with Zhang Pianpian and was told that these relics are batch-produced artificial goods, with a material master at Vajra University able to produce over a hundred a year.

Though not as impressive as advertised, it’s sufficient for Zhang Yu.

After all, a single Xuanzao Relic can store 10,000 units of mana.

The one in Zhang Yu’s hand was already filled with 10,000 units of mana when rented, with a mana quality reaching 200%.

Though a portion of mana would gradually dissipate over time, it is still enough for Zhang Yu to absorb daily to enhance his own mana quality for about a month.

He spent 4.5 spirit coins to rent three such Xuanzao Relics to ensure he could continue absorbing high-quality mana to enhance his mana quality after reaching the outdoor construction sites.

Of course, once he returns from the site, he must return the Relics on time after the mana’s depletion, otherwise the rental fee would increase.

Afraid of forgetting the timely return, Zhang Yu says in his heart to Fu Ji, "Fu Ji, remember to remind me to return these Xuanzao Relics once I get back."

To be safe, Zhang Yu also sets multiple alarm reminders in his eye socket.

He learned these money-saving tricks from Yu Xinghan, such as returning rented items right on time, unsubscribing services on the last day of the trial period, canceling the continuous subscription after using the monthly discount, and setting multiple alarms at different times to avoid missing them and losing spirit coins unnecessarily.

After checking the mana quality and fullness in the three Xuanzao Relics, Zhang Yu picks up another newly arrived jade box.

Upon opening the jade box, a vivid green Gu worm is curled up in a crystal.

This is the Green Spirit Gu that Zhang Yu rented for three months at the cost of 2.55 spirit coins.

Though it looks like a bug, it’s actually a magic treasure. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

According to Yun Jing, it is a bio-mimic magic treasure modeled after the Gu worms from Sky Demon University.

The initial purpose of the research was to accompany Spirit Roots, promoting their evolution, such as evolving from Earth Spirit Roots to Heavenly Spirit Roots, or even Heavenly Spirit Roots to sacred Spirit Roots.

However, so far, the research has not succeeded, allegedly requiring another 100 years and tens of thousands of spirit coins before seeing a breakthrough.

Though the Green Spirit Gu currently doesn’t promote Spirit Root evolution, it enhances Spirit Root fusion.

As Zhang Yu swallows it, the crystal encasing the Gu worm melts instantaneously, the Green Spirit Gu activates naturally, burrowing into Zhang Yu’s Dantian, crawling onto his Qi Sea Spirit Root.

As the Qi Sea Spirit Root allocates threads of spiritual mechanism to the Green Spirit Gu, the Gu worm reciprocates with traces of vitality, forming a mystifying bond with the Qi Sea Spirit Root.

Since Zhang Yu enhanced his Qi Sea Spirit Root’s fusion to 90%, he felt the Spirit Root gradually entering dormant, with ordinary methods showing minimal effect.

Zhang Yu understands it’s due to the final fusion and growth occurring in various subtle parts of the body, thus naturally slowing efficiency.

Yet at this moment, with the Green Spirit Gu’s effect, he soon senses the feeling of itch from many areas on his body, as if flesh and blood are sprouting.

Zhang Yu realizes this indicates growth within his Qi Sea Spirit Root, fusing into the subtle corners.

"With this, perhaps in two or three months, my Spirit Root fusion will reach 100%, and Qi Sea Spirit Root will be completely integrated with me, never to be separated."

"Mana efficiency, spiritual mechanism recovery efficiency, both can increase by about 10%..."

Even without Taoist Skill services in the field, my Spirit Root fusion should improve.

Zhang Yu continues his calculations, "After heading to the construction site this time, mana quality and Spirit Root fusion won’t fall behind."

"In terms of physical strength, the Nine Prisons Suppressing Mountain Belt is already sufficient."

"As for the Dao Heart..."

Zhang Yu glances at the spiritual interface nearby; as long as the site has a Spirit Realm Network, he can use spiritual services to assist in Dao Heart tempering.

Aside from these, there are also several boxes of regular medicines and three cases prepared to aid with breathing exercises, consuming nearly 1.6 spirit coins.

Moreover, beyond these preparations for the construction site, Zhang Yu spent quite a few spirit coins on various Taoist Skill services and spiritual services, propelling his strength to a new surge.

Currently, his Dao Heart level is 12 (90.6%), mana at 425.5, mana quality at 136%, and physical strength level at 12.63.

Additionally, the purchase and practice of new cultivation techniques have elevated his cultivation techniques in Sacred Body Earth and Wood to seven, just one short of a new effect.

Reflecting on his steady progress in strength, Zhang Yu can’t help but exclaim, "Spirit coins are indeed useful; combined with my unparalleled talent, continuing this way, it’s likely to enhance all metrics to Foundation Establishment peak level within one or two years at most."

Looking at the 10.3 spirit coins remaining in his account, Zhang Yu sighed inwardly: "Spirit coins truly don’t last long."

And just the day before departure, the flying sword delivery from Bai Zhenzhen finally arrived.

...

Early December.

After finishing leave applications, online course requests, packing, and saying goodbye to Yu Xinghan, Le Mulan, and Zhang Pianpian.

Zhang Yu, along with the numerous students and teachers from the Civil Engineering Department, boarded the flying boat, embarking on a three-month journey to the outdoor work site.

As soon as they got on the flying boat, the students were divided into two groups, each heading to different meeting rooms aboard the boat.

Tu Lishan walked into the meeting room where Zhang Yu was, looking at the group of poor people below, thinking that Director Gao must be having a meeting with Gongshu Jin and the others by now.

"Sigh, when can I finally be in charge of those rich classes? Instead of mingling every day with this group of broke folks?"

Suppressing his wandering thoughts, Tu Lishan smiled at the crowd below and said, "Students, you are all elite students handpicked by Director Gao from various grades. I’m eagerly looking forward to your performance over the next three months."

"I’ll first create a group chat to keep you updated with any announcements over the next three months."

"Also, please accept the documents sent to each of you, which contain your assigned tasks in the project and your training plan for the next three months..."

Seeing the training plan in the document, Zhang Yu raised his eyebrows slightly.

Tu Lishan continued, "Everyone knows that Civil Engineering is tough and tiring, but no one ever says we’re poor."

"As long as you are willing to fight and endure hardships, the department will surely give you opportunities to earn money."

In the next moment, he said solemnly, "For this project, to be honest... there are death quotas allotted."

Tu Lishan looked at the students present, their debts and savings were evident in their eyes.

Looking at these numbers, Tu Lishan seemed to see the extraordinary Immortal Path potential in each of them.

An upper-year student said, "Mr. Tu, no need for scare tactics."

"Ignoring the rates of suicide, demonic possession, homicide, and bankruptcy, our Civil Engineering Department ranks first in sudden death rates. In our line of work... we’re not afraid of death, right?"

"Ah?" Zhang Yu thought, "Is this really going to the work site?"

Zhang Yu turned to look at the talking student, finding him with white hair and a face full of wrinkles, looking like someone over a hundred years old.

However, aside from his face, most of his body had already transformed into magic remains, making it hard to distinguish between old and young.

Tu Lishan smiled slightly and continued, "Che Yufei’s words are spot on! If you’re afraid of death, why stick with Civil Engineering? Why pursue the Immortal Path?"

"With money, one can come back to life after death, restore youth after aging, and extend lifespan after its end."

"Spirit coins are everything! And you understand your own conditions, if you want to earn spirit coins, you have to fight."

"Now the department is giving you this opportunity."

"To adapt to the development of the era, to continue competing in the future market, the department has decided to enhance your professional skills and Immortal Path cultivation over the next three months through the most effective, strict, Immortal Path-focused, and potential-stimulating methods to boost your future earnings."

As he spoke, the first meal since boarding was served.

Looking at the white pills, Zhang Yu could vaguely see something inside them moving around.

Tu Lishan said, "For the next three months, all your six daily meals are covered by the department."

"Today’s first meal is these Three Worms Muscle Pills."

"After consuming them, they will accelerate the depletion of your mana and vitality, but as long as you endure, it’s like bearing a weight, continuously stimulating potential and making your physique stronger..."

Before Tu Lishan finished speaking, some students had already eaten them.

Watching the students around him begin eating, Zhang Yu also swallowed a Three Worms Muscle Pill, and immediately felt a sharp pain in his stomach as if something was gnawing at his internal organs constantly.

He felt a slight drain in his stamina and mana.

To combat this depletion, he had to work harder on breathing exercises, digging deeper into his own potential.

"Moreover..." Zhang Yu sensed the disturbance in his organs and thought, "After a long time, won’t this cause health problems?"

Sure enough, Tu Lishan said, "Long-term use of the Three Worms Muscle Pills will affect your endocrine, cardiovascular system, and Spirit Root system, causing arrhythmia and Spirit Root overload issues. Remember to stop taking them when problems arise."

Zhang Yu tried hard to control his activated flesh body, continually healing the minor damages in his organs, feeling that he could bear the damage from the Three Worms Muscle Pills.
