Once Gang Qi circulates outside the body, the losses become even greater.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But under the enhancement of this level of Qi Pulse Continuous Flow, the losses are reduced, which means my mana lasts longer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Plus the original mana recovery speed boost from Qi Pulse Continuous Flow...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While pondering, with a thought from Zhang Yu, two more Formless Warriors materialized and began operating at full power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After many attempts, Zhang Yu determined that under the enhancement of Qi Pulse Continuous Flow, his mana could support the full operation of five Formless Warriors, or the full operation of two Deep Cold Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This almost doubles my work efficiency.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the second level effect of Qi Pulse Continuous Flow, Zhang Yu sighed inwardly. Although it only reduced mana consumption, it was like a qualitative change point, greatly increasing his work efficiency per unit time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wonder what the final effect of Qi Pulse Continuous Flow will be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu calculated the time; he should be able to complete the last layer of Qi Pulse Continuous Flow by August, that is, obtain all the effects of Qi Pulse Continuous Flow before the final exam, so his anticipation grew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides this, there was also the upgrade of Yu Xinghan's Third Eye Divine Ability, Zhang Yu's own Unity of Spirit and Flesh, and his Second Heart Method — he looked forward to completing all of them before the finals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This semester finals, I will definitely defeat Ji Yuanshu and take first place in the class.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as I get first place in the academic year for all three years, I can obtain the first three techniques of the Earth Wood Triple Ultimate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu had long been coveting Ma Xuan's Little Threefold Unity, and now he sighed inwardly: \"Luckily, as long as I keep first place in the class, I can get the technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From this perspective, the ranking system in the university is still very valuable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few days later, just as Zhang Yu was thinking that during the next competition team training, he could show his improvement in strength, the competition team captain Ma Xuan sent him a message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Xuan: Zhang Yu, regarding the specific arrangements for next semester's competition, there are some things I need to tell you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Xuan: You have great talent, and your strength has always been improving rapidly. I always thought you could be our team's secret weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Xuan: Cong Na also especially appreciates you and feels that cooperating with you is very pleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, a bad feeling arose in Zhang Yu's heart: \"Starting with so many compliments, it seems nothing good is coming.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Xuan: But now a student with a higher ranking than you wants to join our team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Xuan: The team has unanimously decided that you will temporarily serve as a substitute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing what Ma Xuan said, Zhang Yu was momentarily stunned, and cursed in his heart: \"The university is full of this perverse tendency to judge solely by grades and rankings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can rankings reflect my full value?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuji said: \"Last time when your ranking surpassed Gong Shu Jin, you didn't say that. You can't only think rankings are good when your own ranking is higher than the other person's.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu curled his lips; of course he understood that in the university, rankings are king — whoever has a higher rank is right, whoever has a higher rank gets priority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a system measuring a university student's value, he had to comply with it in the Myriad Methods University City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least at this moment, he did not have the power to resist this system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even he himself was a beneficiary of this system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the substitute position...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu thought that if he didn't get to play, even if the competition team achieved a good placing, his comprehensive score wouldn't increase much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, what a hassle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Zhang Yu was worrying, he noticed that the new team member had been added to the competition team's group chat by Ma Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ji Yuanshu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the one joining the team was actually Ji Yuanshu, who was ranked just above him, Zhang Yu frowned: \"That guy only one rank above me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speaking of which, he’s transferring to the Finance Department to boost his comprehensive score so he can participate in the competition, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Xuan: Welcome, fellow Ji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cong Na: Welcome, welcome [fireworks][fireworks][fireworks]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bu Ziran: Junior Ji, long time no see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Yan: Haha, Huan Shu, you’re here—great! Then next semester our competition ranking will definitely go higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the enthusiastic welcome in the group, Zhang Yu thought to himself that this was way different from when he first joined the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And seeing how happily a few of them chatted in the group, Zhang Yu felt more and more out of place here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few days later, the competition team organized training again, but this time they didn’t even notify Zhang Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These guys…\" Zhang Yu thought to himself. \"Looks like they’ve completely given up on me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll never fit in with these rich kids.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should I switch teams?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or stay here and leech off some comprehensive scores?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next moment, Zhang Yu frowned slightly. \"No, if I stay on the team, no matter how many comprehensive points are added in the end, as a substitute, I’ll definitely get fewer points than Ji Huan Shu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then won’t I start next semester with a lower score than him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could that guy be doing this on purpose? Deliberately trying to get one over on me by this method? Securing an advantage in the rankings?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu wasn’t sure, and there was no way he could ask Ji Huan Shu, but his intention to switch competition teams grew a little stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, I’ll keep building up my strength and prepare for the final exams first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway, there’s still plenty of time to register. After the finals, once my ranking goes up, I’ll see if I can switch teams.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So in the days that followed, as if holding a grudge, Zhang Yu trained even harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they knew it, the time had come to late July.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was still over a month left until the final exams at the end of August.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That day in the dormitory, everyone finally received the spirit coins from the last raid on the Dark Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the numbers in their bank accounts, their eyes flickered as if a glimmer of hope had appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xinghan’s face was flushed and beaming with joy as he thought, \"Now I can finally exchange for a Dharma Skeleton.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But should I get a hand-massage Dharma Skeleton to further increase efficiency, or a cultivation-type one to boost cultivation speed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind immediately conjured up countless Dharma Skeleton models—all targets he had meticulously selected and compared during his days of not being able to afford a new one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over on the other side, Le Mulan looked at the number in her bank account and thought, \"With my own savings added in, this should be enough to undergo the advanced Super Metabolism surgery.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Le Mulan, who had moved to the second floor, quickly discovered with her brother’s guidance that the company upstairs had already developed the advanced Super Metabolism surgery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu was also looking at the numbers appearing in his eye nucleus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had sold some mana these past two months as a subsidy, to keep improving, he had spent quite a bit on pills, spirit stones, Dao techniques, magical artifacts, and so on—his savings had been steadily draining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with this batch of spirit coins today, the total in his account reached a full 42.9 or so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Zhang Yu’s heart surged. It was the first time he had ever had so many spirit coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now the question was… where to spend it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Taiqing Talisman at my sister’s place still costs 50 spirit coins.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"42.9 to 50 spirit coins doesn’t look like much, but with my current income alone, even if I save and scrimp and don’t mind slowing down my cultivation progress, I wouldn’t be able to save up in less than 2 or 3 months.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The key thing is… I don’t even know what the Taiqing Talisman does.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu thought to himself, \"On the other hand, if I put the money into Soul-Flesh Unity, I could immediately start training a second inner art.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding Soul-Flesh Unity, Zhang Yu had been trying it out these past few days. Though he had made some small progress, there was still no sign of a breakthrough anytime soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This had gradually made him give up hope of breaking through on his own, and he was ready to just spend the money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one side, enduring another two or three months of the uncertain Taiqing Talismans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, the Spirit-Flesh Unity and second heart method, which wouldn’t take long to succeed and had a clear function.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In particular, Zhang Yu also considered that the final exam would start in a little over a month, and his current decision would affect his chances of achieving first place in the class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll go with Spirit-Flesh Unity and aim for the second heart method.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some deliberation, as the chill of ritual power spread, urging him to hurry and not stop, Zhang Yu finally put on the spiritual interface mask, sank his consciousness into the spiritual realm, and in an instant arrived at the Hammer Heart Residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An empty, pure white little room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A line of text appeared before Zhang Yu: “Hello, I am Hammer Heart Residence server spirit 3001001, pleased to serve you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you need?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu said, “Spirit-Flesh Unity, the thirty-spirit-coin package.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Zhang Yu finished speaking, the pure white little room rapidly expanded, transforming in an instant into a landscape of pavilions, towers, mountains, and water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below the original text, a palace-dressed beauty appeared, smiling at Zhang Yu and saying, “Hello, Mr. Zhang Yu. Please have some tea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu casually took the teacup she handed him, looking at the original shabby little room that had instantly turned into a luxurious courtyard, thinking to himself, “It changes fast—really judging a person by their spending.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I feel a bit pleased… Consumerism really does corrupt.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu asked, “First, tell me how exactly you help me achieve Spirit-Flesh Unity?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other party replied, “The Hammer Heart Residence has collected a large amount of breakthrough experiences from cultivators. Based on your specific situation, we can select matching breakthrough experiences and simulate the environment of others’ breakthroughs at that time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once you purchase this service, you can conduct one simulated breakthrough per day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“According to our company’s current data statistics, the longest time to break through is twenty-nine days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu’s eyes flickered and he said, “You mean that after purchasing this service, even the person with the worst talent can successfully reach the Spirit-Flesh Unity realm after twenty-nine simulated breakthroughs?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other party smiled and said, “You can understand it that way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After confirming that Zhang Yu indeed wanted to order the Spirit-Flesh Unity package service, a price list, contract, various discounts, and packages quickly appeared before Zhang Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No membership, no activities, no extra services. I just want the thirty-spirit-coin package to achieve Spirit-Flesh Unity…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Zhang Yu finished speaking, seeing the installment plan offered by the other party, he hesitated for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How many installments can I do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Twelve installments, each of 3.3 spirit coins? Deduction starting next month?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu calculated silently in his mind: “That means I’ll pay back 9.6 spirit coins in over a year?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can the extra spirit coins freed up by the installment plan let me earn 9.6 spirit coins in over a year?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Zhang Yu was thinking about this, the palace-dressed beauty in front said, “If you sign up for the installment plan now, we’ll give you a free heart method compatibility test, which can calculate the most suitable second heart method for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu made a decision: “I’ll take it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood clearly that after Spirit-Flesh Unity, he would have to choose a second heart method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After signing the contract, Zhang Yu first took psychological and willpower tests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on his heart method, psychological condition, Dao heart level, and other parameters, a simulated breakthrough environment matching Zhang Yu’s situation was quickly generated.\u003C\u002Fp>",2199,"2026-05-29T04:54:42.391Z","2026-06-01T04:29:12.818Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","0186bfd99cc06b2f7cce641446b6a66cd10c70610eeeed47f4a9b99c85086738","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-348","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-346",711,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fno-money-what-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
