Zhang Yu, following the address given by Le Mulan, arrived at an apartment building outside Ziyun High School.

The apartment building’s exterior was antique, with carved beams and painted rafters adorning the entrance. The entire building gleamed in the afterglow of the setting sun, as if draped in a layer of brilliant golden gauze, appearing understated yet magnificent.

Compared to it, Zhang Yu felt that his previous apartment was no better than a pigsty.

As soon as he stood before the door, the glass doors automatically opened, and a voice emanated from within: “Mr. Zhang, your check-in information has been registered. Please follow the guide to your room.”

Following the purple light arrows on the ground, Zhang Yu made his way to Room 101.

As the door automatically opened, Zhang Yu was immediately sprayed from head to toe with a cleansing mist upon entering.

Then, he saw Le Mulan sitting cross-legged on a futon, quietly practicing her breathing exercises.

“You’ve arrived.”

As Zhang Yu entered, Le Mulan slowly stood up. She was still wearing her thick school uniform on her upper body, but her long trousers had been unknowingly removed, leaving behind a pair of athletic shorts, revealing a pair of straight, snow-white legs.

“Since the pants were going to be torn anyway, I took them off first. You don’t mind, do you?”

Zhang Yu helplessly lowered his head and said, “No, do as you please.”

Le Mulan picked up an apartment key card from the side and handed it to Zhang Yu: “From now on, this room will be yours and Bai Zhenzhen’s. You just need to pay 2,000 yuan per month, and the internet, electricity, and water are all included.”

“But I have one condition: If I want to come here to practice my martial arts with you, Bai Zhenzhen cannot be in the room when we are practicing without my permission.”

Le Mulan thought to herself, “I’m not quite ready to engage in close combat with the two of them yet…”

Zhang Yu frowned and said, “You have to tell us the time in advance before you come. You can’t just come whenever you want. What if we’re busy?”

Le Mulan nodded: “Of course. I will book a time with you every week, and try to arrange it when Bai Zhenzhen is not around.”

Saying that, she handed the key card to Zhang Yu and continued, “Then let’s begin.”

In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed.

Le Mulan walked out of her private bathroom, having already finished showering and changed into a new school uniform.

She sat on the window sill, rubbing her slightly bruised legs. Then, she took out a vial of Dao Heart Buffer and inhaled it, a look of comfort appearing on her face.

She was in a good mood today, after all, after completing her training with Zhang Yu, she felt that her mysophobia had been reduced significantly.

In addition, her physical control had also improved in her wrestling matches with Zhang Yu.

“This Zhang Yu really has talent in physical prowess.”

“After graduating from college, he should be able to become a decent body refinement instructor, right?”

Le Mulan turned her head, looking at Zhang Yu, who was mopping the floor, with some curiosity.

Just as Zhang Yu was mopping the floor, Fuki reminded him, “Don’t forget to put the potion in the bottle. Bai Zhenzhen has been urging you several times.”

Le Mulan, who was standing nearby, watched Zhang Yu looking at the water bottle with a hesitant expression. She seemed to understand something.

“Can’t accept this kind of potion? Can’t get over it mentally?” Le Mulan said in a knowing tone, “You’ll get used to it.”

“People still have to learn to actively adapt to their environment.”

“You can’t get over it mentally now, and you feel disgusted and dirty, but as long as you do it a few more times, you’ll slowly adapt.”

Hearing this, Zhang Yu frowned and said, “I’m already working hard to adapt to this damn place.”

Looking at the sweat in front of him, which smelled fragrant, looked sweet, and probably tasted good, Zhang Yu sighed, “But there are some things about this damn place that I still don’t want to adapt to.”

Le Mulan tilted her head and said, “Then spend money. Money can change the environment. If you buy the potion yourself, you don’t have to drink this.”

Zhang Yu came to Le Mulan and smiled, “Then do you have any channels for buying the potion? Can you sell it to me cheaper?”

Le Mulan said indifferently, “You can solve it with money now… but one day, you will encounter things that money can’t solve immediately.”

The scene of her losing to Zhang Yu in the martial arts competition flashed through her mind, and she said helplessly, “At that time, you will eventually have to take the initiative to adapt.”

Zhang Yu said with a smile, “We’ll talk about the future later.”

Le Mulan stared at Zhang Yu, as if she saw her past self, who wanted to solve everything with money and only wanted to use money to block out “poverty.”

It’s just that the Zhang Yu in front of her was a different kind of poor person from herself.

Le Mulan suddenly smiled, put on her pants, and walked towards the door: “Okay, you can just send me the medicines you want on your phone.”

“I’ll have someone sell it to you at a 20% discount.”

Zhang Yu asked, “Is the quality as good as what you use? By the way, do you have any nerve fillers? Do you have Hunyuan Pills?”

Le Mulan had already walked out of the room.

As the door closed, only her clear voice was left.

“Just as good. I think so.”

Thinking that he could buy Hunyuan Pills at a 20% discount from Le Mulan, Zhang Yu was overjoyed.

Next, he would be practicing the body refinement technique, Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi, and he would be spending 300,000 every month to buy Hunyuan Pills.

“With a 20% discount, I can save 60,000 yuan at once!”

What medicines do you want? You can now buy medicines from Le Mulan.

Send me on your phone. Hunyuan Pills 300,000 -> 240,000

Advanced Nerve Fillers

Advanced Stamina Recovery Potion

Advanced Mana Recovery Potion (20% discount)

Increase the training effect of Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi

More than an hour later, Bai Zhenzhen came to the room. First, she touched the body refinement equipment in the room, then looked at the bathroom, and then tested the soundproofing of the quiet room. Then, she looked at the laundry, cleaning, food delivery and other room services.

Among them, the food delivery also provided cheap synthetic food, so that Zhang Yu and the others could eat whenever they were hungry.

After looking around, Bai Zhenzhen said with a look of surprise, “Damn, the conditions here are a bit good. You can practice at any time. Is it really only 2,000 per month?”

Zhang Yu nodded, and then told Le Mulan’s request.

Bai Zhenzhen said, “These are all small things. Is there a lease?”

Looking at the electronic contract sent by Zhang Yu, Bai Zhenzhen said expectantly, “Now I can apply for an intercity travel permit. We are one step closer to passing the Foundation Establishment Examination.”

Zhang Yu nodded and said with emotion, “I thought we wouldn’t be able to live in this kind of house until we got into college.”

Then Zhang Yu mentioned buying medicine from Le Mulan at a 20% discount.

Bai Zhenzhen nodded repeatedly: “Okay, the medicines that woman uses are all high-quality good medicines. Being able to get goods through her channel, and also getting a 20% discount…”

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but laugh, feeling that her and Zhang Yu’s hope of passing the Foundation Establishment Examination had increased a lot.

After a while, Bai Zhenzhen couldn’t wait to walk towards the quiet room: “I’ll try practicing in the quiet room first.”

Zhang Yu then turned on the lights in the room one by one, planning to try the effect of cultivating the Great Sun Qi Sea here at night with the lights on.

As the lights shone, he immediately felt the Great Sun mana in his body slightly active. Although it was not as intense as during the day, it still had a 20-30% effect.

“After all, Le Mulan exempted us from electricity bills. Should I buy some high-power lights?”

After moving into the new apartment, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen then traveled between the school, the apartment, and the Dark Learning Gang every day, constantly moving towards the goal of passing the Foundation Establishment Examination.

After a few days.

On the subway in Songyang City.

Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen were leaning against each other. Bai Zhenzhen was breathing in spiritual energy, while Zhang Yu was running the Residual Ox Sacrificial Body Mind Technique in his mind.

Since raising the Great Sun Qi Sea to level 10, he began to cultivate the Residual Ox Sacrificial Body Mind Technique.

At this moment, accompanied by his visualization, in his mind there seemed to be a large ox with its limbs severed, and blind and deaf, crawling forward, never stopping.

With this kind of visualization, a hint of joy seemed to arise in Zhang Yu’s heart, as if no matter how hard or tired he was, as long as he could move forward, as long as he could improve, that was enough.

Residual Ox Sacrificial Body Mind Technique Level 5 (23/50)

Zhang Yu thought to himself, “This mental cultivation method is indeed the same as the Desolate Ox Soul Suppression Mind Technique, with a hidden condition, which is hope.”

“At least there must be a path forward in order to perfectly exert this mental cultivation method.”

More than ten minutes later, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen came out of the subway entrance and walked to a skyscraper in the city center.

Looking at the towering building that seemed to pierce the sky, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Yu’s mouth.

This was exactly the office building of the Immortal Rhyme Group in the center of Songyang City that he had visited before.

It’s just that the last time he came here was to try out techniques and do odd jobs, but this time he came here as a spokesperson to shoot commercials.

After registering at the front desk, following the instructions to the shooting location.

As soon as Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen got out of the elevator, they saw posters of the Immortal Rhyme Group.

What fetal muscle enhancement classes to make fetuses more confident after birth.

Elderly life extension classes, live one day for every day you attend.

There were also health insurance nemesis training classes, teaching how to bankrupt your opponent in three moves.

Looking at the posters here, Zhang Yu felt more and more the wealth and power of the Immortal Rhyme Group, as well as the breadth of its business scope.

Zhang Yu said, “The Immortal Rhyme Group’s customer base is really wide.”

“That’s right.” Bai Zhenzhen said from the side, “Although it is said that the Immortal Rhyme Group’s business scope is mainly in education, they can educate everyone.”

“From fetal education to the elderly, they turn everyone into their customers.”

“Only the dead have not been educated by them yet, but I think it will be soon…”

Just as Bai Zhenzhen was chirping about the Immortal Rhyme Group, the two unconsciously stopped in front of another poster, and their eyes focused on Zhang Pianpian in the poster.

“Talisman True Mystery Scroll, East District 12 City Joint Examination, Talisman First High School Student Zhang Pianpian’s first choice of teaching and auxiliary materials.”

“Compiled by the Immortal Rhyme Group in conjunction with the Eight Divine Deities, gathering tens of thousands of talisman examples, guaranteeing that every buyer has a deity tutor, Standard Edition 888,888, Deluxe Edition 1,888,888…”

Zhang Yu felt that his eyes were blurred: “Azhen, how many 8s are there? I can’t count them all!”

“880,000 and 1.88 million, and you can’t count them. You really have a poor aura.” Bai Zhenzhen looked at Zhang Pianpian in the poster with bright eyes, and said enviously: “So my godmother has also been a spokesperson for the Immortal Rhyme Group. I wonder how much her endorsement fee is.”

Then she looked at the “East District 12 City Joint Examination, Talisman First” section, and sighed: “She’s the first place in talismans in the 12 City Joint Examination!”

Zhang Yu knew that there were many cities in the first layer of Kunxu. After all, it was more than 20 million square kilometers in size, with no seas, and all land. The number of cities was far beyond any country he knew in his previous life.

The East District 12 City Joint Examination was a joint exam held every year by the key high schools in the 12 cities in the eastern part of the first layer of Kunxu. All the examinees were senior high school students, and it was considered a preliminary drill for the college entrance examination.

“She actually managed to get first place in talismans in the 12 City Joint Examination.”

Zhang Yu became even more curious: “How did my sister raise her talismans to this level? It should cost a lot of money.”

So, while Bai Zhenzhen went to find the person to connect with, Zhang Yu squeezed the rosary beads on his chest and whispered: “Do you know why her talisman level is so high?”

“What did you mean by the divine path that you mentioned last time?”
