Zhang Yu struck out with both palms simultaneously, fiercely slapping himself, as Formless Cloud Vajra combined with the former military-level martial art Nine Heavens Cloud Void Force burst forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid crackling explosions, the Nine Heavens Cloud Void Force, using the hollow cavities within the vajra energy, frantically absorbed the overclocked vibration unleashed by the Limitless Shocking Zen, then released it, forming a further resonance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Zhang Yu had concentrated his entire cultivation into the No. 20 Secret Steel inside his abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten seconds… one minute… three minutes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a full-force eruption lasting a full three minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The originally extremely solid No. 20 Secret Steel, which had shown no damage at all, gradually began to crack, vibrate, and shatter…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu watched this with a ferocious expression, let out a low shout, and continued to refine the No. 20 Secret Steel with all his effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he felt a depletion of strength in his internal organs, realizing that his physical energy was severely drained and he needed to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he temporarily stopped the circulation of his techniques, switched the Earth and Wood Sacred Body to the Great Learning Sacred Body, and began to rest while continuing to refine the Secret Steel with his peak Foundation Establishment digestion power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Switching between sacred bodies like this, sometimes erupting, sometimes resting, Zhang Yu finally fully refined the No. 20 Secret Steel in his stomach, refining it all into the bones of his right hand, fusing the Secret Steel with his own hand bones into one, no longer separate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the suddenly somewhat heavier hand bones, and the unyielding, indestructible sensation within them, Zhang Yu smiled with satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more difficult the refinement of the No. 20 Secret Steel was, the greater the improvement in his bone strength after successful refinement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, this way… in the remaining two months before the end of this field work site, I'll have enough time to strengthen all the bones in my body with No. 20 Secret Steel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So in the following days, apart from his site work and cultivation, Zhang Yu devoted most of his energy and strength to refining the No. 20 Secret Steel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And to replenish his consumption and further speed up his cultivation progress, under the second layer effect of the Earth and Wood Sacred Body, he also began to consume many more potent, more ferocious drugs that cost more lifespan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the room, as Zhang Yu selected his meal, a 10-combo set meal was delivered directly in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, the white-haired Che Yufei watched as Zhang Yu ate one after another the Fissure Prime Bloodburst Pill, Life Devouring Heaven Seizing Powder, Hundred Tribulations Heart Devouring Gu, Lifespan Damaging Heaven's Chance Powder… and couldn't help but gasp inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do freshmen nowadays really risk their lives like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuji, who was also watching this scene, couldn't help but say, \"Hey… Zhang Yu, aren't you pushing yourself a bit too hard?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu said inwardly, \"Fuji, you also know that the sect might stop recruiting people at any time, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In order to survive, and to one day overcome this damned ritual and gain true freedom…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I live only for the present.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, Zhang Yu swallowed the remaining drugs into his stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five days later, seeing that Zhang Yu had doubled his dosage, Che Yufei couldn't help but say, \"Bro, are you okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu grinned and said, \"I'm fine. What could happen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the surging mana in his body, the roaring qi and blood, his heart that felt like it might fall apart at any moment, and his brain beginning to boil, Zhang Yu said excitedly, \"I've never felt better!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Zhang Yu's drug evaluation data skyrocketed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sudden death rate: 32%!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long list of various diseases behind it was like rows upon rows of scarlet death notices, warning him to reduce his medication.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuji couldn't help but say, \"Zhang Yu, can we stop eating like this? I'm scared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuji had no idea about the Earthwood Sacred Body or the Great Learning Sacred Body, and Zhang Yu didn't explain, merely thinking to himself, \"Don't worry, I've got it under control.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuji cursed inwardly, \"You call that 'under control'? I'm terrified you'll eat yourself to death! Then all my investment will go down the drain!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu paid no attention to those numerical warnings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the Earthwood Sacred Body to withstand the first wave of drug side effects, then occasionally switching to the Great Learning Sacred Body to digest the medicinal power, coupling with the Spring-Autumn Boundless Zen to metabolize the drug toxins, and always maintaining his body's vitality with the level-20 Crippled Ox Sacrifice Heart Mantra, accelerating his whole body's self-healing...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu understood that the numbers about sudden death or disease onset were completely irrelevant for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for exposing his special constitution, after consulting Zhang Pianpian, he realized the issue wasn't too serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, compared to pushing a cultivation technique to level 20 in just half a month—a talent that would shock the world—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a special physique that could consume drugs and push limits was relatively unremarkable. In the history of the top ten prestigious universities, such powerful physiques were not uncommon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like when Starfire True Person first discovered his exceptionally strong self-healing ability, they were merely surprised, not finding it utterly bizarre or illogical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Zhang Pianpian advised him not to reveal himself this way, Zhang Yu knew his time was limited. He had to seize every moment, opportunity, and resource to grow stronger while protecting himself as much as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out in the wild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bones of Zhang Yu's arms had been refined with No. 20 secret steel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His arms, already heavy from the increased weight, now had their gravity multiplied by 21 times under the effect of the Nine Hells Towning Belt, making them even heavier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu worked hard to adapt to his ever-increasing body weight, continuously training his flesh to acclimate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the gravitational boost from his Nine Hells Towning Belt hadn't increased further, Zhang Yu could feel that with the operation of his body-tempering technique and the fierce infusion of various drugs, his muscles and sinews were constantly being compressed to generate greater strength in order to adapt to the new weight and to serve as a carrier for the stronger bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside Zhang Yu's room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tuli Shan smiled and said, \"Zhang Yu, have you been in a bad mood lately?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did something unpleasant happen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You haven't been gambling, have you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Zhang Yu's dosage had been increasing so much that it drew the teacher's attention, and Tuli Shan even suspected the kid had piled up a mountain of debt and no longer wanted to live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the teacher's suspicion, Zhang Yu knew that the more he tried to hide, the more suspicious it would look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he decided to go the opposite way: be open and honest, and eat and drink heavily in the light of day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu said, \"Teacher, my physique is special. It was like this even back in high school—my dosage is very large.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, teacher, I can sense my own condition. The moment my body shows any abnormality, I'll stop taking them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tuli Shan looked at Zhang Yu with a mixture of doubt and belief, and said, \"Let's draw some blood. Have the accompanying doctor check whether there's anything wrong with your body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the roof of a newly built factory building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disgusted by the bad smell in his room, Zhang Yu had come out here alone, holding a Profound Creation Relic and breathing in its mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides improving various other aspects, he had never let up on enhancing his mana quality, and he was only waiting to go back to help Le Mulan improve hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the medical room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doctor looked at the item in his hand, smelled its strong medicinal fragrance, and asked, \"Is this some new medicine? Need to test the composition?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tuli Shan said, \"This is blood drawn from a student.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doctor exclaimed, \"This is blood?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tuli Shan said, \"Check it out. This student claims he has a special physique and takes a large dosage. Let's see what's really going on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, the test results showed nothing abnormal; Zhang Yu's body was completely healthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tuli Shan wasn't surprised by this. After all, Kun Xu was vast, with a long history of the immortal path, and all sorts of special physiques emerged endlessly, many of whose mysteries the top ten sects still couldn't fully explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Tulishan reported the situation to Director Gao, that Nascent Soul True Lord, over 800 years old, said casually: \"The recommended medication calculations are, after all, based on a general template. It's normal for there to be differences between individuals. It also shows that his constitution is indeed different from others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A student having a strong constitution is a good thing. Zhang Yu's physique is also very suitable for the Civil Engineering Department.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although the upper limit might be a bit low, it's exactly right for construction work. Not only will he grow faster than others, but he can also work a few more years for us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Gao said casually: \"If he wants to eat, let him eat however he likes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, while you're at it, ask him if he's willing to sell some samples to the Biology and Medicine departments. People over there might be somewhat interested.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, the Nascent Soul True Lord then turned his gaze to the study progress of Gongshu Jin, Mo Shangjin, and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Zhang Yu, he was still more concerned about the situation of the wealthy students, because in his eyes, these students were the face of the Civil Engineering Department for the next few years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up the call, Tulishan thought to himself: \"Sell some samples to other colleges? That makes sense. We've already invested quite a few resources in Zhang Yu. Might as well earn a little back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But… sure enough, the Director still pays more attention to Gongshu Jin and the others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, Zhang Yu's special constitution only lets him eat more medicine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And being wealthy… besides being able to eat more medicine, you can do so many more things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are still two months left, and this project will be over. Going back will be just in time for the end of last semester.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wonder if Gongshu Jin can catch up with Ji Yuanshu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, a month had whisked by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it had already been a full two months since Zhang Yu first arrived at this construction site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the room, Che Yufei and Shi Yunxiang watched Zhang Yu gulping down medicine with a clatter, and looking at his strong physique and his face showing hardly any signs of aging, their eyes were filled with shock and envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, so full!\" Zhang Yu patted his stomach and left the room: \"I'm going for a walk to help digestion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once out on the construction site, he resumed cultivating the civil engineering technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today was the day he would push the tenth Civil Engineering Saint Body technique to level 20, completely completing the Civil Engineering Saint Body.\u003C\u002Fp>",2185,"2026-05-29T04:54:42.391Z","2026-06-01T04:29:12.818Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","4bc137a90036dd972e621f8666a5f69562e6fc0218911f611aecbcb24739d67f","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-320","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-318",711,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fno-money-what-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
