The examiner just said there are 23 drugs to choose from in this exam.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu looked at the three drugs with the highest point ranking and the strongest medication burden; their points were all a full 1500.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Missing 3 types? So why use this influencer's video as an explanation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Ye Lingxiao wasn't surprised by this. He thought to himself: \"This video became popular because the companies originally promoted it to market these 20 main drugs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems the reason this exam uses drug ingestion… behind it, the companies' operations are also inevitably involved.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe it's precisely to sell these 20 main drugs promoted by the companies that they were included in the exam medications, and then conveniently this video was used.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the complex relationship between the companies and the orthodox gods, Ye Lingxiao, as a descendant of the Ye clan of Xiandu, certainly knew quite a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The companies under the Ten Great Sects and the orthodox gods had hostility, cooperation, conflicts, and even business dealings… the depth and complexity of their relationships, in Ye Lingxiao's view, were already beyond description.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, the red envelope talismans and favor talismans he had previously studied intensely contained great secrets; he suspected they were involved in money laundering between companies and orthodox gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That woman I encountered back then could use favor talismans to transfer money to people; maybe she was involved in money laundering.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alas, but engaging in money laundering business, even if one temporarily enjoys the favor of the orthodox gods, in the end there will probably be no good outcome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the profits were huge, it was precisely because he gradually sensed the terrifying risks that Ye Lingxiao ultimately gave up exploring this area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, as the video finished playing, Deng Bingding spoke up: \"There are three drugs in the video that were not introduced. Let me add some explanation here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The reason these three drugs were not included is that they are all cutting-edge products still in the laboratory and have not been widely marketed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The reason for this is that although these three drugs have very powerful effects, each has its own drawbacks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It can be said that these three drugs are the most potent among the 23, but also impose the highest burden on the body. Each one is a difficult challenge to your physical endurance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First, this Dao Solution Extended-Release Capsule…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu listened to the introduction and briefly summarized it in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dao Solution Extended-Release Capsule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Function: This product contains sedatives and negative emotion blockers, can temporarily increase the resilience of the Dao heart, absorb negative emotions; requires long-term use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adverse reactions: Not yet clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu commented inwardly: \"Forget this one. The company even wrote 'not yet clear'; there's probably a huge bomb inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, Deng Bingding introduced the Mana Meridian Injection, also 1500 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu summarized in his mind and listed the characteristics of this drug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mana Meridian Injection\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Function: Mimics the mana stimulation hormone produced by those with natural spiritual roots during mana circulation, effectively suppresses dantian and meridian fatigue, stimulates spiritual root operation, thereby greatly accelerating mana recovery and growth efficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adverse reactions: Anxiety, shortness of breath, convulsions, coma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Note: Long-term injection may cause meridian cancer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Zhang Yu first heard the introduction of the Mana Meridian Injection, he thought it was not bad; he could perhaps take a few shots and conveniently boost his mana in the exam hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after hearing about the meridian cancer at the end, Zhang Yu immediately frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell? This drug can actually be used in an exam? This exam really wants students to risk their lives, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Deng Bingding introduced the last drug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imitation Phoenix Functional Element\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Function: This product contains nano-scale imitation phoenix cells, which can stimulate the growth of human muscles and bones, and provide phoenix hormones for repairing physical injuries, greatly improving the efficiency of body refinement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adverse reactions: diarrhea, abdominal pain, dizziness, headache, drowsiness, insomnia, neuritis, fever, fatigue, high fever, anaphylactic shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Deng Bingding added: \"The Imitation Phoenix Functional Factor has many adverse reactions, but they are generally mild and temporary, and mostly do not affect cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing this, Zhang Yu was momentarily unsure whether to believe it or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But this Imitation Phoenix Functional Factor is at least the most reliable of the three divine medicines.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu thought to himself: \"I just don't know if my High School Saint Body plus Spring-Autumn Endless Zen... can actually withstand it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But each one gives 1500 points, which is far more than other medicines.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If someone takes it, I'll have to give it my all too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the introduction of the medicines, soon boxes and boxes of drugs were delivered to the examination hall and placed in front of the five examinees. Deng Bingding finally warned: \"Next, monitoring patches will be attached to your bodies to constantly check your physical condition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once a situation exceeding the body's capacity and threatening life occurs, you will be automatically disqualified.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope you will act according to your abilities and not take drugs beyond your physical capacity...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the words, when the exam officially began, Zhang Yu still saw Yu Xinghan rush up, grab boxes of medicine into his arms, turning taking pills and injections into a buffet-style affair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xinghan first picked up a row of Dragon-Elephant Formulations, secretly delighted: \"Normally this would cost a lot of money. Today I can inject to my heart's content.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, if only I could take it out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a series of over a dozen injections of Dragon-Elephant Formulation into his body, Yu Xinghan's body visibly swelled a full size, and even his somewhat sunken cheeks became plump again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Yu Xinghan's score instantly rose to over a hundred points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then various supplements were injected into his body in turns. Yu Xinghan felt his qi and blood surging and galloping inside, as if trying to make up for the deficits from all the overtime recently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xinghan inwardly exclaimed with pleasure, thinking: \"I originally thought this second round was just a formality, but I didn't expect to enjoy injecting so much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No mistake, one first release, one inner content, one look!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tomorrow, when I go back, I can work overtime at Red Tower again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Yu Xinghan couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile at the corners of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he touched his body and felt a sense of sluggishness from his internal organs, as well as his rapidly beating heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"520 points.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Phew... I'm almost at my limit. I could keep injecting, but it would damage my body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway, I'm not competing for the Foundation Establishment qualification, so there's no need to go all out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Yu Xinghan was thinking this, a huge figure loomed over him, and a palm larger than Yu Xinghan's head reached past him, grabbing a row of syringes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one making a move now was No. 18, Meng Tao, a Xiandu native with the Gluttony Spirit Root. In the previous Gluttony Competition, although he ate quickly, his slow digestion resulted in poor performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was precisely that failure that made Meng Tao realize one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In terms of physical quality, I am far inferior to prodigies like Ye Lingxiao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So if I want to approach that level, I have to rely on quantity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's like no matter how strong a 5-year-old child is, a 15-year-old youth can suppress them with one arm—that's the suppression of size and weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this reason, in the past two months, Meng Tao underwent eight modification surgeries, and combined with his own Gluttony Spirit Root, his height skyrocketed to 3.2 meters, and his weight increased to over 1,000 kilograms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If quality isn't enough, make up for it with quantity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would use his extraordinary physique to unleash extraordinary physical power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would use his huge size and weight to exert greater strength than his opponents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the current injection exam, Meng Tao knew that his current size and weight gave him a huge advantage, allowing him to handle far more drugs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as a Xiandu top student, he already had experience in how to inject more medicine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a disdainful glance at Yu Xinghan, Meng Tao thought to himself: \"Ignorant outsider, just injecting randomly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's not how you do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want to inject more, you should first have some nutrient fluid to whet your appetite.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then eat some capsules to line the stomach and start digesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next should be injections. Never use any stimulants or sedatives, after all, the brain's metabolism is the slowest...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xinghan watched from the side as Meng Tao quickly tore open one box of medicine after another, and his points surged accordingly, reaching over 1,200 in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xinghan thought to himself, \"What a terrifying guy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell have these Xiandu people been taking? And how many surgeries have they had?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn't this No. 18 more than twice as heavy as when I last saw him? Are they raising pigs?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speaking of which, these Xiandu people are also high school students, naturally in a period of rapid progress. While I'm improving, they're also advancing swiftly...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, since he never expected to pass the Foundation Establishment qualification in his first year, he wasn't nervous at the moment. He just turned his head to look at Ye Lingxiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. 23 (Ye Lingxiao) is, I recall, the strongest Xiandu student.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's actually going for a 1,500-point mana vein injection?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Yu Xinghan's astonished gaze, Ye Lingxiao, whose points were still 0 and who hadn't taken any medicine, walked directly to the mana vein injection and injected this divine drug into his body with one syringe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, Ye Lingxiao's veins bulged all over his body, like little snakes slithering under his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, Ye Lingxiao suddenly opened his mouth wide, breathing heavily, while his entire body trembled violently.\u003C\u002Fp>",1787,"2026-05-29T04:54:22.303Z","2026-06-01T04:29:11.989Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","76fc714d38f56c79e4a6aca917c78de87b99a5fd0a7b0b0191fd2bab017955dd","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-201","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-199",711,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fno-money-what-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
