Listening to Zhang Yu’s words, Gongshu Jin’s eyes were filled with disbelief.

If becoming this strong were as simple as taking more life-shortening pills and working more overtime, then you wouldn’t even get a chance to work overtime, even if you paid them.

However, Gongshu Jin also understood that even if Zhang Yu truly possessed some secret learning method, immortal insights, or hidden potential for immortality, he would naturally not reveal it easily.

At the same time, Zhang Yu looked at Gongshu Jin and said, “I need to go work overtime now, but if you are willing to pay me a bit more spirit coins, I can stay and continue talking with you.”

Listening to Zhang Yu’s words, Gongshu Jin ultimately didn’t give him any spirit coins!

It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford it, but that he felt it was unnecessary!

Because after calming down, Gongshu Jin quickly realized that Zhang Yu’s ability to work so desperately was of no use to him!

His life was far more valuable than the other party’s, so how could he squander it like that?

“Even if I have the money to buy longevity pills, the more you take, the larger the dosage, and the worse the effect becomes!”

In Gongshu Jin’s eyes, the longer you extend your life, the higher the cost of the next extension!

And when the cost of extending one’s life begins to exceed a cultivator’s income, their lifespan gradually approaches its end!

“Natural lifespan is never the limit lifespan for cultivators at each realm!”

“A person’s true limit lifespan should be the limit that their income can afford to extend!”

“Even if Zhang Yu can extend his life in the future, the lifespan he consumes by working so desperately is still being consumed!”

“His lifespan ceiling, income ceiling, and working years ceiling are all being lowered!”

For Gongshu Jin, this was all a losing proposition!

Having understood all this, watching Zhang Yu’s departing back, Gongshu Jin’s mind activated his cultivation technique, the 15th level Azure Dragon Soaring Sky Heart Sutra, constantly awakening his ambition to climb higher, soar to the heavens, and ascend to the higher echelons of Kunxu!

“I have my own path, and I only need to proceed step by step, accumulating strength, without needing to risk my life with others for temporary gains!”

“Earning money is the path to immortality I must take!”

Thinking of this, he had already sent a message to his master: Master, I lost!

The response came: How much money do you need?

Looking at his master’s reply, Gongshu Jin felt that after this defeat today, he was not only not discouraged, but his ambition and potential for immortality were surging forth endlessly!

Next time, he would become even stronger!

Zhang Yu walked towards the construction site on the 666th floor!

Feeling the injuries within his body and examining the various bloodstains on his skin, he thought to himself, “The ultimate Earth and Wood Sacred Body is powerful, but it’s too troublesome to use!”

“Each foreplay is too long, and it takes a lot of time to make my current self injured or even weakened!”

“And if I get covered in blood, I have to take a bath and wash my clothes… it’s even more troublesome!”

While pondering, Zhang Yu had already slowly activated the spiritual power within his body, cultivating a new breathing technique!

Heavenly Blessing Longevity Art, Level 13!

After completing the Ultimate University Sacred Body and the Earth and Wood Sacred Body, Zhang Yu had once again begun cultivating breathing techniques these days, preparing to promote the chain of techniques and the Meridian Elongation Flow!

The Heavenly Blessing Longevity Art that Zhang Yu was cultivating at this moment was one of the breathing techniques of the Meridian Elongation Flow!

However, although this Heavenly Blessing Longevity Art had the word “longevity” in its name, it did not have the function of extending life, but simply used spiritual energy and mana to nourish the flesh and blood throughout the body during breathing, adding a foundation to the body!

Zhang Yu thought, “Although these three months of cultivation at the outdoor construction site have improved me quickly, they have also almost drained my body!”

He felt that his body at this moment was like an empty shell, powerful but lacking the foundation to continue becoming stronger!

After all, Zhang Yu understood that immortal cultivation was never obtained out of thin air!

A person’s body was like a treasure vault, and under the destructive exploitation of various medicines and cultivation techniques over the past three months, Zhang Yu had indeed made great progress, but the various medicinal properties, nutrients, and energy that had accumulated in his body had also been consumed in large quantities!

“Next, I have to replenish myself and restore the foundation of my body, otherwise the speed of progress in immortal cultivation will probably become slower and slower!”

Whenever he thought of this, Zhang Yu felt the spirit coins in his account itching to integrate into his body for the sake of his immortal foundation!

Just then, Zhang Yu saw a message flashing on his communication jade, asking him to sell some body materials!

Zhang Yu: Is drawing blood enough? Saliva, seeds, hair, do you want them?

Tu Lishan: Blood is all I need for now. If there are any results, I’ll ask you to buy other things!

Zhang Yu shook his head regretfully. He knew that the other party probably wouldn’t be able to detect any results!

“After all, my potential is reflected in my will and Yu Book, not something that a mere physical body can show!”

Just then, Tu Lishan said again: By the way, Director Gao is very optimistic about you and plans to cultivate you properly!

Tu Lishan: He will meet with you in a few days. Think carefully about what you need!

A moment later, Zhang Yu had arrived at the construction site on the 666th floor!

But just as he was about to cross the gate of the construction site, he was suddenly stopped by a voice!

“Zhang Yu!”

Zhang Yu turned his head and saw a security guard with blue hair walking over!

Just as Zhang Yu felt that this security guard looked familiar, he heard the other party say, “It’s really you! Don’t you remember me? Shengjie, from Immortal Metropolis!”

Hearing this, Zhang Yu’s eyes moved, and he remembered the other party’s identity!

“This guy… is one of the four students in my and A Zhen’s high school Foundation Establishment Exam who obtained the Foundation Establishment Qualification Certificate!”

“But at that time, I was in the second year, he was in the third year. He entered university a year earlier than me!”

But Zhang Yu clearly remembered that the other party was a lackey of Wang from the Oasis Group. Why didn’t he apply to Netherworld University and instead entered Myriad Dharma University?

Seeming to understand Zhang Yu’s doubts, Shengjie smiled slightly and said, “You know, I followed President Wang for a while on the first floor!”

“Although he is indeed good to his subordinates, I can feel that… I am not very suitable for the atmosphere of Netherworld University and the Oasis Group, so I thought about it when I applied and changed to Myriad Dharma University!”

As an Immortal Metropolis native who climbed up from the bottom, Shengjie had the awareness to be a dog, but he also understood that the first key to being a dog was to choose the right master!

And in the process of getting along with President Wang on the first floor, he gradually felt that the other party was not a good choice, at least not suitable for him!

Listening to what Shengjie said, Zhang Yu thought that this kid was quite clever!

He looked at the security uniform on the other party’s body and the class ranking of 16 on the other party’s head. Zhang Yu casually said, “You entered the Security Department?”

“Yes, I am rotating to various positions this year and responsible for security work in the University City!”

Shengjie nodded and said, “You entered the Civil Engineering Department? Then we may have the opportunity to cooperate in the future!”

While speaking, Shengjie’s eyes swept over Zhang Yu’s head, the class ranking of 28, and looked at the injuries on Zhang Yu’s body!

He thought in his heart, “Zhang Yu actually ranked in this position? And this body of injuries! It seems that his current situation is not very good!”

Although Shengjie’s relationship with the other party on the first floor was not very good, seeing the other party in Myriad Dharma University City, a natural sense of being from the same hometown rose in his heart!

Having experienced what Zhang Yu was experiencing, Shengjie sighed sympathetically and looked at Zhang Yu, saying, “It will be more difficult for us people from the first floor to study here in the first year! After all, it’s Myriad Dharma University, not so easy to get by…”

After chatting casually for a few words, Shengjie returned to his post, and heard the security classmate next to him say, “Is that 28th-ranked guy your fellow countryman?”

“This ranking is much lower than yours!”

Shengjie smiled awkwardly and said, “Maybe he’s a little unaccustomed!”

Another colleague laughed, “It’s good to be able to study on the second floor. After graduating and returning to his hometown, he’ll probably be a big shot among the people below!”

Faced with his classmate’s teasing, Shengjie could only continue to smile awkwardly, and once again felt the gap in his heart: “Whether it’s me or Zhang Yu, we ultimately have a huge divide with these students above. It’s even more difficult to enter the top of the class!”

On the other side, Zhang Yu entered the construction site and began working overtime and cultivating as usual!

At the same time, his Remnant Ox Abandoning Body Heart Sutra continued to operate, and the self-healing ability brought by the activation of the body silently activated, controlling the injuries on his body to gradually heal!

Just as Zhang Yu was silently working overtime!

Many students in the Foundation Establishment class were waiting for today’s ranking update!

For example, Ying Xin at this moment had refreshed the class leaderboard several times!

“Gongshu Jin said that the exam time he applied for was today, so the results will be updated today, right?”

Looking at the constantly refreshing ranking, Ying Xin seemed to see a fierce battle between Gongshu Jin and Ji Yuan Chu!

Although the two did not fight face to face, Ying Xin could still imagine the intensity of the competition between the two sides!

She seemed to be able to see hundreds of spirit coins behind the two sides constantly evaporating, turning into terrifying immortal potential that collided fiercely, just to compete for the top spot in the class!

Just then, Ying Xin’s eyes moved. A teacher in the Foundation Establishment class had sent a message!

True Person Jiao Lei: The results of everyone in the first semester have been updated. Everyone, please take a look at the rankings and summarize the gains of this semester!

True Person Jiao Lei: Everyone

True Person Jiao Lei: Here I want to especially praise a classmate: His performance this semester can be described as a qualitative leap!

Looking at the class ranking sent out by the class teacher, True Person Jiao Lei, Ying Xin immediately clicked on it!

First place, Ji Yuan Chu, Comprehensive Score 1228

Second place, Zhang Yu, Comprehensive Score 1201

Third place, Gongshu Jin, Comprehensive Score 1183

Ying Xin looked at this ranking in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief: “Zhang… Zhang Yu?”

“How could he jump to second place? He actually surpassed Gongshu Jin?”

“And the comprehensive score is not much different from Ji Yuan Chu’s?”

But the next moment, Ying Xin seemed to have thought of something!

Her eyes flashed slightly: “After all, because of that relationship… it’s understandable that Ji Yuan Chu is not much higher than Zhang Yu!”

But the fact that Zhang Yu had defeated Gongshu Jin and taken second place in the class still puzzled Ying Xin!

“How much did he earn in that project these three months?”

And thinking that she had missed this project, Ying Xin felt a pain in her heart, a heart that seemed to be splitting apart!

As True Person Jiao Lei mentioned everyone in the class group, Zhang Yu, who was working overtime at the construction site, naturally received the message!

However, he was busy pouring concrete and had not had time to look at it, and then found that many people had sent him messages!

Zhang Yu had an idea and randomly clicked on one!

Li Xiao: Brother Yu, congratulations!

Zhang Kuang?

Li Xiao: Haven’t you seen the ranking yet? You’re second in the class.
