Come on your own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shan Congning: I’ll be back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, Zhang Yu saw Shan Congning, who ranked 51st overall, leave the group chat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Jiu Tianliu sent another message: Everyone, we have a new member. Let’s welcome Zhang Yu, ranked 13th in the Artifact Refining Department and 44th overall in the school [fireworks][fireworks][fireworks].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching this scene, Zhang Yu thought to himself: “This Jiu Tianliu guy… didn’t he previously represent the Finance Department in blacklisting me? I wonder what his attitude toward me is now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And following Jiu Tianliu’s move, in an instant many people in the group sent messages welcoming Zhang Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, students from the Artifact Refining Department posted the most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Qianji: Congratulations, Zhang Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Xingli: Junior brother, welcome to the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Bei Wufeng, ranked 2nd in the Artifact Refining Department, said: Warm welcome [folded fist].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as many students from the Artifact Refining Department were speaking, students from other departments also posted scattered messages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Pianpian, ranked 26th overall in the school, also sent a congratulatory message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching messages refresh rapidly before his eyes, Zhang Yu kept replying, and one by one he added the academic elites in the group as friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at those elites from the Artifact Refining Department, Finance Department, Dao Arts Department, Talisman Department… Zhang Yu knew they were all very useful connections. Many of them might become his customers in the future, and many might also see him as a customer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the welcome for Zhang Yu in the group was winding down, Dao Qiankun, ranked first overall in the school, spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dao Qiankun: Welcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those two simple words seemed to make the group fall silent for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, everyone in the group focused their attention on Dao Qiankun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiu Tianliu: Brother Dao, have you come out of seclusion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dao Qiankun: Mm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Qianji: Brother Dao, there’s a new spell-skeleton model on the market. You should check it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiu Tianliu: Brother Dao, the company has launched a new batch of installment repayment discounts for premium customers…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Haixuan, ranked 1st in the Talisman Department: Brother Dao, the spirit realm protection service can be upgraded again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the stream of messages in the group, Zhang Yu felt as if all these campus prodigies had transformed into gold-medal salespeople, clustering around Dao Qiankun and endlessly pitching various products.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu couldn’t help asking his sister Zhang Pianpian and Ye Xingli: Just how rich is Dao Qiankun?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Xingli: He’s first in the school academically, and also the richest among all students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Xingli: You should know that the school administration has targeted training plans for students participating in the next Top Ten League.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Xingli: Each student is assigned the most suitable method to increase their income, based on their personality, specialty, ability, background, etc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Xingli: But for Dao Qiankun… the school’s arrangement is simply to have teachers guide him in secluded cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Xingli: Because the administration thinks he doesn’t need to learn how to make money anymore—at least not during the Foundation Establishment stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu: That rich?! [Oh my god]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Zhang Pianpian’s reply was even simpler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Pianpian: Half of the spirit veins under University City belong to the Wanling Mana Production Group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Pianpian: The family behind Dao Qiankun holds a large amount of shares in the Wanling Group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu instantly understood: “If spirit veins are like oil in Kunxu, then this Dao Qiankun is basically an oil prince?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, looking at the things many people in the group were selling, all expensive and not necessarily good, Zhang Yu immediately grasped what they were thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn… they’re all just trying to offload their sales targets onto that fat cat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu: Brother Dao, if you have any magic tool repair needs, you can come to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bei Wufeng: Zhang Yu, that's not right. Brother Dao doesn't need to repair magic tools; when his tools break, he just buys new ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bei Wufeng: No matter how much you repair a magic tool, it can never return to its peak factory condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bei Wufeng: To achieve the highest performance, you need a newly purchased magic tool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, several people chimed in to agree, especially students from the Artifact Refining department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just then, Dao Qiankun replied: Okay, Zhang Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the group chat messages, Dao Qiankun thought to himself: \"These guys... always trying to sell me things, getting me to buy more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magic tools are only bought and never repaired... Dao Qiankun sneered at that. Although he was wealthy, he wouldn't waste spirit coins like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At most, during each competition, he would swap out all his magic tools and magical prosthetics for brand new ones to maintain peak condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for daily cultivation, Dao Qiankun would still repair his prosthetics and magic tools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading the group messages for a while, Zhang Yu felt a bit of fatigue in his eyes. Recently, his eye prosthetics had been giving him this feeling often.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu knew that his Time-Worn Demon Eye was aging more and more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since he was a student in the Artifact Refining department, but he hadn't studied much about prosthetic technology, and he knew nothing about manufacturing eye prosthetics. His maintenance of the Time-Worn Demon Eye was very mediocre, so the wear and tear from daily use was even more severe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since I've now met so many top students from the Artifact Refining department, I can find someone to replace my eye prosthetic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",974,"2026-05-29T04:54:59.518Z","2026-06-01T04:29:12.818Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","3b8ebbd562f82464e3cbcb0c67e8af3ca973b2fac3872c0cebaa16e0987a18f1","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-548","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-546",711,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fno-money-what-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
