A monthly after-tax income of over a million will be no problem at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, there are also three senior teachers from within the gang who are also doing trial lessons this time...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Black Crow had already brought Zhang Yu to the outside of the classroom for the trial lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They saw three gang teachers already waiting there early. When they noticed Black Crow and Zhang Yu approaching, they couldn't help but take a few extra looks, a trace of confusion flashing in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them, a middle-aged woman, asked curiously, \"Black Crow, who is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Crow introduced, \"This is Teacher Ma Yunteng, who is also here for today's trial lesson.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, all three gang teachers furrowed their brows together, and their gazes toward Zhang Yu grew colder and more hostile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged woman went straight to probing Zhang Yu's background, asking, \"I know all the teachers in the gang who can tutor at Qi Refining Peak. This Teacher Ma looks rather unfamiliar to me. Could he have just recently joined the gang?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Crow smiled slightly on the side and said, \"Teacher Ma hasn't been with us for long. He was previously responsible for teaching construction site techniques, and he's been away for the past few months due to some matters. It's perfectly normal that you don't recognize him, Teacher Ci.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing that Zhang Yu originally taught construction site techniques, a trace of contempt flashed in the minds of Teacher Ci and the other two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, construction workers generally have low educational backgrounds, a shallow foundation in the Dao of Immortals, and because they have been taking low-quality drugs for years, the number of intellectually disabled students is much higher than in other classes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be said that the quality of students in the construction site class is far inferior to that of the senior class, and their spending power is even more incomparable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And naturally, the teachers who teach the construction site class are also of much lower standards—whether in strength, teaching ability, or mastery of techniques, they are often far inferior to the three of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teacher Ci nodded and no longer paid any attention to Zhang Yu. It seemed that her opponents today would ultimately be the other two senior underground teachers beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Crow glanced at his phone and said, \"The elders of the gang have all gathered and are watching the classroom through the cameras.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I'll first greet the classmates in the classroom, and then we'll begin the trial lesson.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The order will be as previously arranged: Teacher Ci and the other two will go first, and then Teacher Ma will go last. Is that okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu nodded, indicating that there was no problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Black Crow walked into the classroom, he saw more than a dozen elderly people with varying temperaments, some standing and some sitting, already waiting in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As these more than a dozen elderly people of varying temperaments all looked over, feeling the pressure from so many cultivators at Qi Refining Peak, Black Crow's steps faltered, and cold sweat trickled down his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Crow smiled slightly and said, \"Sorry to keep you all waiting. Our trial lesson will begin shortly. Thank you very much for taking the time...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a stern-looking elder with a full head of silver hair said coldly from below the stage, \"Black Crow, that Teacher Song last time only had a high school education and didn't even get into college, yet he dared to come and teach us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The teacher you've arranged this time isn't going to be that unreliable again, is he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Crow quickly placated him, \"Elder Wang, although Teacher Song only had a high school education, he is rich in teaching experience. Having a little lower education doesn't affect his teaching...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Wang snorted coldly and said, \"Everyone sitting in this classroom is a university graduate. Can a high school graduate teach us? Can he even teach properly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Crow wiped the sweat off his forehead. He understood that these university-graduate elders, having managed to cultivate, study, and work all the way to this age, and being able to maintain their consumption through their jobs, were the elite workhorses of their companies—absolute degree discriminators. In their eyes, whether high school graduates should even have human rights was probably questionable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, another elder chimed in, \"Can your Dark Study Gang do anything decent? In our company, a high school graduate's resume wouldn't even reach my desk. Are they even qualified to teach?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet another elder agreed, \"A person who didn't even get into college is nothing but social scum? They haven't even fully evolved, carrying bloodlines that will be eliminated sooner or later...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right!\" an old woman with disheveled hair said, \"If you can't get into college, can you even be considered a person?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not that extreme, really not that extreme,\" Black Crow quickly soothed them. \"Besides, I guarantee that the teachers for this trial lesson are all university graduates.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph,\" Elder Wang said. \"Then we want to see their university diplomas. Only those with a university diploma are qualified to teach here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Black Crow's face showed signs of difficulty again. After all, almost every teacher in the gang had hidden their identity and were unwilling to have their personal information known. How could they possibly provide university diplomas?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What's more, he had just said that offhand—he wasn't even sure that all four of today's trial teachers were university graduates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Crow, himself a high school graduate, couldn't help cursing inwardly, \"This bunch of old fogeys—none of them treat high school students as human beings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For your information, a good high school is no worse than a college, and a good college is no worse than a university. So an outstanding high school graduate, after years of hard work, is fully capable of doing the job of a teacher...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was silently complaining in his heart, he didn't dare to offend these important clients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Black Crow was thinking that this was troublesome, his phone vibrated. It was a message from the gang elders who were observing the classroom through the cameras.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading its contents, Black Crow said to the elders before him, \"Everyone, in the dark tutoring world, one is allowed not to casually reveal their identity. This has been a long-standing rule of the jianghu, and it's not something our Dark Study Gang can easily break.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But since everyone has their concerns, how about we try a different approach? Let each of you send a representative to personally verify the teacher's cultivation level. What do you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Mr. Wang frowned and asked, \"How would we verify it?\" Black Crow replied, \"Since these are all teachers responsible for body cultivation, how about this: you, Old Wang, personally strike each teacher three times, and they must not block, dodge, or evade—just take the hits with their physical bodies. Would that work?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With your skill level, Old Wang, any teacher who can take three strikes from you like that surely wouldn't be just a high school graduate, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd nodded slightly. After all, high school students who couldn't get into university had to start working right after graduation, with no time, energy, or wealth to cultivate various body-refining techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only university students who went to the second layer could continue focusing on their studies during their ten years of university, cultivating more techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if both had the same level 10 physical strength, university graduates, with the support of multiple body-refining techniques, often far exceeded high school graduates in all aspects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Mr. Wang said arrogantly, \"Hmph, useless trash who never attended university naturally couldn't withstand three strikes from me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I approve of this method.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Crow knew that Old Mr. Wang held considerable prestige among these old-timers. Sure enough, once he agreed, the other old folks had no further objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Black Crow went out and explained the situation to Zhang Yu and the other three. The other three teachers were full of confidence and agreed without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Zhang Yu wasn't entirely sure of Old Mr. Wang's strength, seeing the situation, he had no choice but to agree for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that slight hesitation of his, in the eyes of the three teachers like Ci, seemed like a lack of confidence. They began to look down on Zhang Yu even more, even suspecting that he might only have a high school diploma, hence his hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged woman, Teacher Ci, was the first trial teacher to walk into the classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When verifying her cultivation, she stood still and let Old Mr. Wang strike her three times in succession—on her shoulders and stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With three booming sounds, Teacher Ci took five steps back, her face flushed red before quickly returning to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Mr. Wang nodded approvingly: \"Not bad. Peak physical strength, equipped with multiple protective techniques—only a university graduate would have this level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having gained the old folks' approval, Teacher Ci breathed a quiet sigh of relief, walked up to the podium, and began her lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today, I'm going to teach everyone how to poop.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This may seem like a trivial daily matter, but there's great knowledge in it, related to life and death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Many years ago, a senior expert, after working overtime without rest for ten years, suffered from constipation for half a year due to excessive stress. Eventually, he realized a technique on the toilet, named the Detox and Health-Nourishing Technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The technique I'm going to teach today is precisely this Detox and Health-Nourishing Technique. Once mastered, you can daily expel toxins and impurities from your body...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In body cultivation, three parts practice, seven parts eating, and the remaining ninety parts depend on how you apply medicinal infusions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As the saying goes, the more needle holes on your arms, the better your grades.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the more infusions you get, the more you need to detox. That's why there's another saying: a good student must be able to squat...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to the latest research from Xiandu City, students' body-cultivation grades are positively correlated with their hemorrhoid rate...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the old folks listen intently to her lesson, Teacher Ci's motivation grew stronger by the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought to herself: \"For my nine children, to raise them to adulthood, to get them into university, to help them find jobs—I must become a gold medal teacher!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time she thought about how, after her nine children grew up, they would work hard to repay her parenting loan and transfer money to her every month, Teacher Ci felt that the wonderful day when she no longer had to work overtime and only needed to work twelve hours a day was getting closer and closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the cameras in the classroom recorded Teacher Ci's teaching performance clearly, allowing the many elders of the Dark Study Gang sitting in the meeting room on the other side to watch everything in detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One elder commented: \"Little Ci's approach lacks innovation, nothing flashy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another elder said: \"The lesson is fairly solid, but it's old stuff. The renewal rate probably won't be high.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's take a look at the next one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the classroom, Zhang Yu listened to Teacher Ci's lecture and thought to himself: \"Explaining deep concepts in simple terms, highlighting the key points, making it memorable, light and humorous, incorporating the latest theories... This woman's teaching level is already on par with excellent teachers at key high schools, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems the competition for gold medal teachers in the Dark Study Gang is even fiercer than I imagined.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, my original preparation is still insufficient. I need to add more chips.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This woman's weakness lies in this Detox and Health-Nourishing Technique... This technique isn't advanced enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need to highlight the advantages of the Spring and Autumn Boundless Zen in terms of taking medicines!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",2079,"2026-05-29T04:54:42.391Z","2026-06-01T04:29:12.818Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","774f9f90178700f517485f128b0061059a2e1dff45de1d2e3e2ce88cdd7c3e1b","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-222","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-220",711,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fno-money-what-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
