He would probably hate me even more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhang Yu’s words, Fu Ji said, “If he knows the truth, the first one to suffer will probably be himself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu said in surprise, “Himself?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Ji said, “Hehe, the most important thing about fooling someone is to let them gain benefits.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only after obtaining profits and enjoying benefits will people dive headfirst into the trap, sinking deeper and deeper—even at the end, when they know it’s a scam, they refuse to face it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wang Yin is a wealthy man. Relying solely on his hatred for you wouldn’t make him participate so actively.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think…” Fu Ji speculated, “probably just like I guessed before, you have become his inner demon. He needs to use you to mend his flaws and elevate his Dao heart.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And if he learns the truth—realizes that you haven’t been toyed with, but instead used the resources he invested to cultivate even better—then his inner demon could worsen, the flaws in his cultivation method intensify, and his Dao heart… instead of recovering, it might even regress.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu’s eyes flickered upon hearing this. “Doesn’t that mean… I have an extra card to use against him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Ji said indifferently, “But that card isn’t held only in your hand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu thought to himself, “Tian Yang… and his friend from the Netherworld University? Could the people from Netherworld University be digging a pit for Wang Yin?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lacking sufficient information, Zhang Yu still saw the whole picture like a blind man feeling an elephant—unable to fathom the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided to set aside these distracting thoughts and continue focusing on his own cultivation. After all, grades, rankings, and cultivation base were what allowed him to stand firm in Wanfa University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, he once again activated his breathing technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the following days, Zhang Yu cultivated, worked, took online classes, ate meals, got massages, occasionally spent spirit coins on various cultivation services, and made time to assist Yu Xinghan and Le Mulan with their cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every day he felt that 24 hours were simply not enough—he wished he could split into multiple clones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under such circumstances, his cultivation base advanced by leaps and bounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye. That day, Zhang Yu was cultivating at the construction site as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Dao heart had now reached level 14 (25.3%).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling his will growing stronger, and the white bull in his mind stepping proudly through the surging black mud, Zhang Yu thought, “After reaching level 15 Dao heart, I can attempt to activate the second cultivation method.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Speaking of which, I haven’t gone to test the compatibility yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wonder what cultivation method best suits me and the Crippled Ox Self-Sacrifice Heart Technique?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the flow of mana within Zhang Yu grew more turbulent. His mana had reached 610.9, and his mana quality had reached 165%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he moved, fierce qi surged out in rolling waves, turning into patches of cloud, creating whirlpools—twisting steel bars, dismantling debris, or clearing trash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, Zhang Yu’s entire body suddenly trembled. He felt as if his flesh, mana, and fierce qi were blending like water and milk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Physical strength has broken through to level 15.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Zhang Yu’s main cultivation goal during this period was the breathing technique, he still found time to train his physical strength whenever possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially with daily meals and massages, plus the constant tempering of the Nine Prisons Mountain-Suppressing Belt set to 30 times gravity…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His physical strength had finally reached level 15.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just like Wolf Friend said…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu flicked his finger, and fierce qi rippled like water, carrying the force of that flick far away until it struck a wall over ten meters away with a soft snap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With physical strength reaching level 15, Zhang Yu felt his mana and body becoming more integrated, fierce qi seemed to become an extension of his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of every punch and kick was transmitted far away through fierce qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, he conducted a test in the teaching area: his fierce qi transmission rate was 35%, and the maximum transmission distance was 38 meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant when he threw a punch using martial fierce qi, he could transmit up to 35% of his force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that 35% of force could travel up to 38 meters along the fierce qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond 38 meters, the power transmitted by Gangqi will rapidly diminish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Improving the Gangqi conduction rate and maximum transmission distance is related to my mana level, mana quality, physical strength, and martial arts skills.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu thought to himself: \"I need all-around improvement. I'll take it slow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu spread his five fingers and activated a slight force. The Formless Cloud Gangqi formed the shape of his hand more than ten meters away and gently picked up a piece of brick and stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gangqi seemed to become his new limbs, transmitting force with a mere thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This makes work much more convenient.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from his improvement in strength, Zhang Yu's biggest gain during this time was Spirit Coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had also spent a considerable amount, the Spirit Coins transferred from Tian Yang several times still kept his balance growing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after the last act of failing to apply for overtime, Tian Yang traded a magic treasure produced by Netherworld University with Wang Yin. Afterwards, according to half the market price, Tian Yang transferred a full 22.5 Spirit Coins to Zhang Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Zhang Yu often sigh in his heart: \"Wang Yin is really a fat sheep. How many people and how many positions has this one person supported?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu's current Spirit Coin balance thus grew to over 29.1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for how to spend these Spirit Coins next, because there were too many places to spend them, Zhang Yu hadn't thought it through yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, two figures walked over excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xinghan: \"Bro!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiao: \"Bro Yu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xinghan said impatiently: \"Let's go, let's go. It's time for the massage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Li Xiao didn't speak, he was also staring at Zhang Yu eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, thanks to Wang Yin's extravagance, not only did Zhang Yu hire many masseurs every day, but even Yu Xinghan and Li Xiao could take advantage of times when Zhang Yu couldn't arrange too many masseurs, occasionally leech off an idle masseur—after all, Wang Yin had paid for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu pulled up Tian Yang's avatar from his Eye Skeleton and said: \"It seems things haven't been arranged over there yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His daily massages now were all prepared by Tian Yang, who then notified him to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xinghan was slightly disappointed at this. The third eye in his mind turned, and he thought: \"Ah, I've almost learned all the techniques of those masseurs. Will it not be arranged today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the imitation function of the Third Eye Divine Ability, Yu Xinghan had been secretly learning the massage techniques of the masseurs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Zhang Yu received a message from Tian Yang: The situation might be exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Netherworld University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yin watched the video emerging in his Eye Skeleton, his face growing darker and darker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the video, Zhang Yu was eating large bowls of rice and big pieces of meat, devouring bowls of Heavenly Essence Rice and plates of Dragon Liver and Phoenix Gall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating five bowls of rice and three plates of meat, Zhang Yu showed no signs of sleepiness, displaying astonishing digestive ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The video Wang Yin was watching was recorded not long ago when Zhang Yu was eating meat and rice at a banquet hosted by Ye Xingli.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhang Yu's calm expression without a flushed face or heavy breathing in the video, Wang Yin thought: \"Heh, so... this is this guy's real appetite?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, more information about Zhang Yu's recent situation appeared before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tian Yang... Zhang Yu...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yin gnashed his teeth and said: \"Fooling me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking that someone as rich as himself had been toyed with like this, and that the money he spent not only failed to humiliate Zhang Yu but instead strongly boosted his cultivation, Wang Yin's anger erupted like a volcano.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the eruption of anger, Wang Yin felt that the Emperor's Royal Heart technique in his mind was almost stopping, and his Dao Heart, which had recovered to level 16, was now shaky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his face alternating between green and white, Wang Yin felt his mana and flesh becoming uncontrollable, and a sharp pain in his internal organs...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfft!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood, and felt his Dao Heart regress to level 15, with a trend of continuing to regress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it... That beast Tian Yang actually teamed up with Zhang Yu to fool me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And Mo Xingzi—he introduced Tian Yang to me. Did he do it on purpose? Trying to dig a pitfall to ruin my Dao Heart?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yin knew that the more he was in such a moment, the less he should let his mind wander, but he couldn't control the thoughts that kept flashing through his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But whenever he thought about being toyed with and imagined Zhang Yu's secret smugness these past days, Wang Yin felt his dao heart grow increasingly unstable, and the power within him risked spiraling out of control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a woman's voice reached his ears: \"My son, don't overthink this. I had Mo Xingzi do this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom?\" Wang Yin was momentarily stunned, then both shocked and angry, and puzzled: \"You had Mo Xingzi deceive me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman said coolly: \"I only told him to point out the flaw in your heart. I never expected he'd actually find someone to provoke you by using Zhang Yu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without giving Wang Yin a chance to speak, the woman quickly pressed on: \"My son, ever since you were born, everything has gone smoothly for you, and later you even mastered the Emperor's Heart technique... I have always worried about one thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, this technique originated from the cultivation method of ancient imperial monarchs. Follow it and you succeed; go against it and you fail. But as long as we live in this world, even immortals have their moments of frustration—how much more so for us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As the saying goes, human strength has its limits. Even if you hold countless riches, there will still be times when you fail.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The key is not to avoid failure, but to know how to get back up from it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhang Yu, who defeated you this time, is a penniless wretch. You can retaliate by throwing money at him. But if your next defeat comes from someone richer and more powerful than you, what will you do then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yin murmured: \"Mom, you want me to change my thinking and mend the flaw in my heart myself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right.\" The other party said calmly: \"A technique is meant to aid the cultivator, not to hijack their actions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must control the technique, not let the technique shackle your mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yin still couldn't let it go and gritted his teeth: \"But Zhang Yu...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman said calmly: \"Zhang Yu is nothing but an ant, destined to grub for food on a construction site. From start to finish, he's just someone else's blade. Think carefully—was it this blade that ruined your plans, or the hand that held it at the time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhang Yu? I don't even consider him worth my attention.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Compared to him, I care more about the flaw in your heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although your dao heart has regressed this time, it has also fully exposed the flaw within you. This is your best chance to perfect your thinking and mend that flaw. If you can't patch it, you'll never have any hope of reaching the Golden Core, which means you're nothing special, and we can stop wasting spirit coins.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you can mend it, I will arrange a mentor for you. You will spend the next year preparing for the graduate exam.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the future, when you break through to the Golden Core and push toward the Nascent Soul, you will look back at this mere Zhang Yu and see nothing but a skeleton in a grave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since he learned that the information had been exposed, Zhang Yu had been on high alert, guarding against any possible retaliation from Wang Yin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the blink of an eye, several days had passed, and it was almost May. Zhang Yu felt that everything was calm, as if nothing had happened at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he finally mastered his sixth breathing technique, and the Eternal Qi Meridian activated its first-level effect.\u003C\u002Fp>",2254,"2026-05-29T04:54:42.391Z","2026-06-01T04:29:12.818Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","579f071c2c21ae50b7076ef7c2e0111fa43ba525f207fa18e45bef0ae3922732","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-336","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-334",711,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fno-money-what-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
