After all, Wang Yin and I are of the same generation—wouldn't that make me his uncle?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yinquan Divine Lord: [crying with laughter] You really know how to make your big sister laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yinquan Divine Lord: Let's each reckon our own way. You call me big sister, let Wang Yin call you big brother, and you just call him Little Wang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the message from Yinquan Divine Lord, Zhang Yu sighed inwardly, \"Yinquan Divine Lord is so approachable, so why is Little Wang so arrogant?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or is it that this Sister Yinquan is only approachable in front of me right now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu didn't need to think much to know it was definitely the latter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after the press conference ended, more and more people added him as a friend—all elites, leaders, and wealthy individuals from various universities, every one of them spoke politely and pleasantly, making Zhang Yu constantly feel the goodwill of the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But among all the friends added after the event, the only Divine Transformation Lord was Yinquan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Divine Transformation Lords from other schools all sent their subordinates or disciples to communicate with Zhang Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By comparison, Yin Spring Divine Lord naturally also seemed very approachable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu thought to himself: \"The Netherworld University side is very sincere about cooperation; it's probably one of the fastest places to promote the shared Taixu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for Vajra and Heavenly Sword, I need not say more — the Chancellor and the Divine Lords are leading the support, so they'll also be among the first to be fully covered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heavenly Demon and White Bone, though not fully supportive, are still advancing the cooperation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We'll have to be careful with Immortal Soldier and Heavenly Fiend…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shifts in the situations of the ten major universities surged through Zhang Yu's mind, and he could already see that under the direction of his own strategies, changes were taking place across every campus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, his eye bones flickered as he received a message from Zhao Tianxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianxing: Zhang Yu, I did it! I've achieved Foundation Establishment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling his Dao heart now spanning level 11, Zhao Tianxing still couldn't contain his excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even back when his body was still whole and he was among the top students at Songyang High School, Zhao Tianxing never dared to imagine that one day he could achieve Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, within Songyang City, a Foundation Establishment cultivator was unquestionably a lofty, unreachable figure; among the generations of Songyang students who had entered university, those who could found their foundation were extremely rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention that after becoming a spirit cultivator, Zhao Tianxing didn't dare think he could ever break through to the Foundation Establishment realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianxing knew that he didn't dare think about it not because he was open-minded, but rather because he was more cowardly and full of self-doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These two words, 'Foundation Establishment,' from the start were never something a poor man like me should have even considered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this very moment, Zhao Tianxing had successively obtained the opportunity to upgrade from junior college, received a specially approved Foundation Establishment qualification certificate, and completed his realm breakthrough in the Spirit Realm's 100% simulation environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could say that Zhao Tianxing had now accomplished a rise that countless spirit cultivator students wouldn't even dare dream of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianxing understood that one major threat after becoming a spirit cultivator was spending more and more time in the Spirit Realm, gradually losing perception of the real world, and having one's consciousness lost in the endless illusions of the Spirit Realm — this was called mental dissolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most effective means to slow mental dissolution was to place oneself in a 100% simulation environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, calling it a \"100% simulation environment\" was only a marketing term; it couldn't truly be one hundred percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how many decimal places there were after 99%, and how close it really was to the real world, was not something ordinary cultivators could explain clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, in this environment, spirit cultivators felt as if they had regained their physical bodies, able to perceive everything as if in the real world, and even complete breakthroughs in this environment, advancing their Dao hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the spiritual energy consumed by the 100% simulation environment, the equipment used, the wear and tear on the equipment, and the maintenance of all kinds of resources — all were astronomically expensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the higher the realm of the spirit cultivator, the greater the consumption in this regard, and it only grows greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But only spirit cultivators of sufficiently high realms could earn more money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more you earn, the more you consume; the more you consume, the more you can earn. In the endless cycle of earning and spending just to survive, it seemed that all spirit cultivators ultimately could not escape the fate of mental dissolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was fine for now. Zhao, who had just stepped into the Foundation Establishment realm, only felt incomparable joy and happiness, and simply didn't want to think about the future threat of mental dissolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Zhao Tianxing shared this joy and happiness with Zhang Yu as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reading Old Zhao's message, Zhang Yu couldn't help but feel a trace of emotion, recalling how happy and excited he had been when he first broke through to Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too bad that kind of happiness has already left me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, even when I break through to Nascent Soul, I won't feel that same joy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking it over, Zhang Yu replied to Zhao Tianxing: Keep it up, Old Zhao. Foundation Establishment is just the beginning; keep moving forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a call came from beside Zhang Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhang Yu?\" Le Mulan looked at Zhang Yu behind her with some confusion, wondering why he had stopped just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu said, \"It's nothing, let's continue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu closed the dialogue box with Zhao Tianxing, and one of the split-off thoughts continued circulating his dharma power, surging toward his palm and sending strands of dharma power into Le Mulan's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he was enhancing Le Mulan's dharma power and its quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu thought to himself: \"Today I should be able to help Le Mulan upgrade her Dao seed by one level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Zhang Yu was assisting Le Mulan, outside the office they were in, Yin Jiurao was silently waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In order to support the front line, this pharmacology professor had brought all her students to the campus near the Great Hollow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What made her feel emotional was that back when Zhang Yu was still a senior student, she and Zhang Yu were inside the gate, while Le Mulan and the others waited outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, just a few short years later, she was the one waiting outside while Le Mulan and Zhang Yu were inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So this is what it means for the disciple to surpass the master? My student is no simpleton either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Le Mulan's occasional soft humming from inside the room, Yin Jiurao's mind began to wander with thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I already reminded Le Mulan to seize the advantage of being close to the water—to use her relationship with Zhang Yu to get the materials early. She didn't react on the surface, but it seems she pulled it off in secret.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for her office being temporarily borrowed by the other party, Yin Jiurao didn't think much of it—after all, when you're doing immortal research, you can't stand on ceremony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, watching Zhang Yu walk out of the room, Yin Jiurao smiled and said, \"Zhuyi Zhenjun, leaving already? No need to rush—you can use this office for as long as you like.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu gave an awkward smile and said, \"Sorry, I've been really busy lately, and this matter was too urgent. When I saw you weren't around, I borrowed your office temporarily to help Le Mulan with her cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Jiurao waved her hand repeatedly. Zhang Yu was now a big shot at Wanfa University, the center of attention at ten schools—a truly hot figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For someone like that, Yin Jiurao wouldn't even think of driving him away; she couldn't invite him fast enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Zhang Yu's retreating figure, Yin Jiurao then looked at Le Mulan, who was still clutching her stomach, and asked, \"How did it go? Did he give it to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Le Mulan felt the surging mana in her dantian, as if it might overflow at any moment. Unable to help herself, she pressed her stomach and nodded, saying, \"Mm, it's all in my belly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Yin Jiurao said urgently, \"Belly? How could it go into your belly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Jiurao couldn't help but take a closer look and asked, \"Can you spit it out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Le Mulan felt Zhang Yu's mana gradually dissolving within her and said, \"It's already mostly digested.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh.\" Yin Jiurao said angrily, \"Why are you so greedy? Do you have any idea how much this is worth? Just eating it all up like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about the excessive amount of mana Zhang Yu had transferred this time, Le Mulan said, \"I told him about it, but he insisted I digest it. He said it would be beneficial.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the deep-cold mana vein gradually changing inside her, Le Mulan knew Zhang Yu was right—it was beneficial, and very much so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Jiurao thought to herself, \"Zhang Yu said it would be beneficial? With his status now, he wouldn't lie to us. Could there be some secret I don't know about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, Yin Jiurao grabbed Le Mulan's hand and said, \"Come, let me give you a physical checkup.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Le Mulan waved her hand repeatedly and said, \"No need, teacher.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Le Mulan was feeling the effects of the upgraded deep-cold mana vein, Zhang Yu, through the seed spectrum in the Feather Book, was able to accurately sense the effects of the deep-cold mana vein at level 3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Level 1 of the deep-cold mana vein could freeze wounds and prolong life; level 2 improved heat dissipation efficiency and extended the body's burst duration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, at level 3...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zhang Yu activated his mana, some of the internal organs in his chest and abdomen were temporarily frozen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The frozen body can enter a state of rapid, efficient self-healing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",2308,"2026-05-29T04:55:10.865Z","2026-06-01T04:29:12.818Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","b701b3d80d6d9e236a99ba9608666b18af5bdd762873bac16695ef0b75134bdd","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-704","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-702",711,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fno-money-what-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
