I don't need this money for now, so you can take it and use it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Pianpian felt a stir of emotion—back when she had first helped this younger brother, it was merely because she saw his considerable talent and made a spur-of-the-moment attempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would have thought he would rise so quickly, and now not only was he studying at Wanfa University alongside her, but he could also lend her this many Spirit Coins?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the words he had just replied with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't need it, take it and use it\"... That's practically inhuman—would any normal person say something like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet somehow, hearing this crazy remark now, Zhang Pianpian felt a sensation surge within her that she had never experienced before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Pianpian gave a slight nod, looked seriously at Zhang Yu, and sent a message: \"Alright, lend me 25 Spirit Coins. I'll definitely repay you within six months at the earliest, a year at the latest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu: \"Is 25 Spirit Coins enough? How about I lend you 50 instead?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu thought to himself: \"Over the past few months, through several tests and casual chats, the requirement for the Dao Seed of 50 Spirit Coins has never changed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems I really must go with 50 Spirit Coins.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu had always deeply felt his sister's strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after arriving at Wanfa University—first seeing her modify the spiritual energy consumption data of the dormitory, then in the underground cemetery seeing her seal the network, hijack the surveillance, and toy with others' Dharma Corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined with the price of 50 Spirit Coins for the Taiqing Talisman, Zhang Yu believed that Zhang Pianpian's Dao Seed must be extremely powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whatever... Taiqing Talisman! Activate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, on the other side, Zhang Pianpian saw Zhang Yu's message, felt a slight pause in her heart, and a flicker of hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For her, 50 Spirit Coins were naturally better than 25, but he only had 56 altogether—lending out so much all at once…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Zhang Pianpian was still weighing it in her mind, she noticed that Zhang Yu had already transferred 50 Spirit Coins over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Pianpian: \"Are you crazy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Pianpian: \"Who lends money and just transfers this much directly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Pianpian looked at Zhang Yu as if she were looking at an idiot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in Kunxu, what else could such lending behavior be but idiocy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Money was too important—with money came potential, came strength, came the future, came one's life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lending money, especially 50 Spirit Coins in one go, was like lending your life, like handing your own potential to someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And since Zhang Yu had decided to lend 50 Spirit Coins to Zhang Pianpian to activate her Dao Seed, he didn't intend to drag it out and waste time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since I'm going to lend it anyway, I might as well be straightforward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he replied: \"Senior, just accept it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu: \"I know you're short on money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu: \"Besides, if you get stronger, it benefits me too—you can protect me better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Pianpian looked at Zhang Yu before her, thinking about how her younger brother was lending her the 50 Spirit Coins he had painstakingly saved up, and she felt an unprecedented surge in her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Pianpian had witnessed thousands upon thousands of Spirit Coins, but at this moment, she felt that no amount of that money could compare to the preciousness of the 50 Spirit Coins Zhang Yu was giving her now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this the bond of family?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silently accepting the 50 Spirit Coins Zhang Yu transferred, Zhang Pianpian felt as if a warm current was flowing from his body into hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was his immortal-arts potential, his life, his future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now... he was pouring all these precious things into her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Younger brother, I have felt your potential, I have understood your intentions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will make good use of all this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Zhang Yu saw that she had accepted the 50 Spirit Coins, he also received an electronic contract from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the terms in the contract, Zhang Yu was slightly surprised: \"A repayment contract? Starting next month, repay me 5 Spirit Coins every month? Twelve installments total?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Pianpian: \"I've accepted the money. For what I need to do now, the more Spirit Coins, the better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Pianpian: \"Sign this contract.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Pianpian: \"If you lend me money, I'll pay you back with interest. That's how we keep our bond.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Pianpian thought to herself: \"You're willing to lend me money, and I'm willing to repay you with interest—that's what truly makes us family. This repayment contract is the bond between us as siblings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu, of course, had no idea about the bond in Zhang Pianpian's heart, but since she insisted, he signed the contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the contract completed, Zhang Pianpian felt the sibling bond between her and Zhang Yu deepen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu, on the other hand, curiously observed Zhang Pianpian, wanting to see how this Dao Seed called the Supreme Purity Talisman would be activated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But all he saw was Zhang Pianpian closing her eyes, her consciousness seemingly traveling deep into the spirit realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, when Zhang Pianpian opened her eyes again, silently and without a sound... the Dao Seed was fully ignited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Supreme Purity Talisman (Spell) Level 1\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu thought to himself: \"It worked?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Yu Xinghan on the side tugged at Zhang Yu and said, \"Come on, what are you standing around for? Time for class.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can't be late for the first class of sophomore year.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no time to fully appreciate the effects of the Supreme Purity Talisman (Spell) Level 1, Zhang Yu had to follow Yu Xinghan and Li Xiao to the classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Zhang Yu walked in, he noticed that the very middle seat in the first row had been left empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Xin was waving at him, saying, \"Senior Brother, over here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ying Xin's enthusiastic demeanor, Zhang Yu thought: \"As expected of a sixth-generation civil engineer; adapting fast, really runs in the family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu sat down with Yu Xinghan on his left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiao was about to sit on Zhang Yu's right, but Ying Xin squeezed him out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Xin glanced at Li Xiao and said, \"I have something to discuss with Senior Brother. You sit somewhere else for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting on Zhang Yu's right, Ying Xin took out a bottle of energy potion and placed it in front of Zhang Yu: \"Senior Brother, I went to your dorm last night to find you, but it seemed you weren't there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So I thought I'd just bring it to you in class.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu took the bottle. When he saw it was an energy potion, he didn't think much of it, but when he opened the cap and saw the white powder inside, he was startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wheat flour?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you seriously bringing me this in the classroom?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next moment, he realized: \"No, wait—could this be the family ashes Ying Xin mentioned? Why is it so white?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuji said: \"That means the quality of the ashes is very high; the cremation technique was clean. It might contain some metallic elements, and the person cremated was at least at the Foundation Establishment stage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing the bottle contained ash, not wheat flour, Zhang Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuji commented: \"Ying Xin deliberately put it in a medicine bottle to avoid drawing attention, didn't she? She's got talent for civil engineering.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Xin, watching Zhang Yu open the bottle, added: \"This is from my great-grandfather. If you sprinkle a bit into concrete using the blood sacrifice method, it can greatly increase the building's strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're definitely going to participate in this year's civil engineering competition, right, Senior Brother? You can use it then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu looked at Ying Xin, weighed the bottle in his hand to gauge its contents, and smiled slightly: \"Little Ying, I appreciate your sentiment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Xin smiled to herself, thinking that since Zhang Yu had become Director Gao's nominal disciple, by linking herself to Zhang Yu, she would also be linked to Director Gao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought inwardly: \"Great-grandfather, now that you're in Zhang Yu's hands, be sure to bless me well, so that I can rise high under Director Gao and become someone above others on the construction site.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the teacher for the class entered the classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They heard him walk up to the podium and say straight out: \"My name is Wei Huai, and I'll be your teacher for this engineering geology class.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Starting from sophomore year, civil engineering students need to learn large-scale construction techniques.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And to perform such techniques smoothly and maximize their power, you must understand the terrain and topography, and have insight into the on-site geological environment...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting in the classroom, Zhang Yu tried to use his Immeasurable Heart Inner Dharma Body to multitask, listening to the teacher's lecture while opening Yu Shu's Dao Seed Spectrum, beginning to carefully feel the effects of the Supreme Purity Talisman Dao Seed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Upgrading to the second level actually requires giving 100 spirit coins to my sister?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My sister's talent really is expensive to maintain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as Zhang Yu sensed carefully, more information came from the Dao Seed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The specific effect of the Taiqing Talisman is just one... the ability to cross the spirit world and open a spirit world cave abode?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling this, Zhang Yu's heart itched, and he wanted to dive into the spirit world right then to see what this spirit world cave abode was like and what effects it had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he recalled his sister's warning: when entering the spirit world, it was best not to activate the dark technique of the Immeasurable Heart Inner Dharma Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And without activating this dark technique, he couldn't multitask—listening to class while experimenting with the Dao Seed's effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't skip class.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll try it when I have free time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to the lecture, Zhang Yu gradually gained a general understanding of the relationship between various large-scale construction methods and different terrain features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the rest of the day, Zhang Yu focused entirely on class, and only after returning to the dormitory did he stop the operation of the Immeasurable Heart Inner Dharma Body and put on the spirit world mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, as he activated the power of the Taiqing Talisman, he felt his consciousness rapidly shuttling through the spirit world, countless colorful things flashing past before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Zhang Yu came to his senses, he found himself in front of a Daoist temple surrounded by mist-shrouded mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the three large characters at the temple gate, Zhang Yu murmured, \"Taiqing Realm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked into the temple and found it wasn't big—only one main hall—and Zhang Pianpian was sitting cross-legged inside, facing an extremely tall statue with a blurred face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Zhang Yu stepped in, Zhang Pianpian abruptly turned her head, staring at him in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next moment, a hint of killing intent rose in her eyes, and she thought to herself, \"There's no way Zhang Yu could be here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How dare you impersonate my brother and infiltrate the Taiqing Realm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She made a hand seal, and in an instant, heaven and earth trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu felt a tremendous force strike his body, and the next moment, his body seemed about to split apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Zhang Yu's incredulous gaze, his identity account, browsing history, bank account, consumption records, and other information flowed out from within his body like pieces of trash, floating in the air around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this information, Zhang Pianpian was also slightly shocked: \"Zhang Yu? It's really you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did you come to the Taiqing Realm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1979,"2026-05-29T04:54:42.391Z","2026-06-01T04:29:12.818Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","00eec9bba5000eabc31d0fa51754df538e711bc7b5175b995abbf4210f569e31","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-362","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-360",711,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fno-money-what-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
