As Zhang Yu expected, Ying Zhoufan would not refuse a business deal.

So, persuaded by the other party, he bought the blood of three high-ranking Yaoi.

And Ying Zhoufan’s efficiency lived up to his reputation as a top student at Tianyao University; about two hours later, he sent someone to deliver the blood to Zhang Yu.

“So fast… Could it be the blood of the Tianyao school team members?”

Zhang Yu dripped the blood onto the Bishui Jinjing Jia, feeling the armor analyze the hidden information within the Yaoi bloodline.

He wasn’t worried about anyone suspecting why he bought Yao blood.

After all, the Bishui Jinjing Jia, which bred demonic beasts, could be rapidly bred using Yao blood. Besides complementing the “Yao Sheng Wan Bian Shen Jing,” the purchased Yao blood could also be used in combat and production in the future.

“No problem.”

After confirming that the blood of the high-ranking Yaoi could complete the “Yao Sheng Wan Bian Shen Jing,” Zhang Yu placed another order with Ying Zhoufan.

Meanwhile, the company’s recruitment quickly collected a batch of low-ranking Yaoi blood, which Zhang Yu paid to have delivered via high-speed express service.

As the Yao blood was continuously collected, the “Yao Sheng Wan Bian Shen Jing” in Zhang Yu’s mind was gradually completed. It was a profound, complex, and extensive Daoist cultivation method.

“The ‘Yao Sheng Wan Bian Shen Jing’ is a cultivation method rooted in the Yaoi bloodline, capable of transforming into various types of Yaoi.”

“But if that were all, it would be no different from Tianyao University’s ‘Tianyao Bai Bian’.”

“The true power of the ‘Yao Sheng Wan Bian Shen Jing’ lies in its ability to manifest Yaoi avatars.”

“At level 10, two Yaoi avatars can be manifested; at level 20, four Yaoi avatars can be manifested. This number aligns with the number of thoughts in the ‘Wuliang Xinnei Fashen’.”

“As a Daoist cultivation method that directly leads to level 80, if it eventually combines with the ‘Can Niu She Shen Xin Jue’ and ‘Wuliang Xinnei Fashen’, one could even form an army, transforming into a monstrous army with super regenerative power and various Yaoi abilities…”

Carefully contemplating its profound mysteries, Zhang Yu felt that, judging by the power of this cultivation method, it was at least a military-grade technique, and his efforts had not been in vain.

“But Yaoi avatars and such are too easily noticed.”

Zhang Yu thought that if he were to directly use this cultivation method in the future, it would probably be easily detected as unusual.

“However, fortunately, the Bishui Jinjing Jia itself has the ability to breed demonic beasts. After I master the ‘Yao Sheng Wan Bian Shen Jing’, as long as I use the Bishui Jinjing Jia to cover this cultivation method, there should be no major problems.”

Thinking this, Zhang Yu continued to review the cultivation method, registering it on the Yu Shu.

However, like other Daoist cultivation methods, the “Yao Sheng Wan Bian Shen Jing” was not a technique that could be mastered through solitary practice. Its cultivation required continuous refinement of the Yaoi bloodline and the collection of large amounts of Yao blood.

Moreover, it had requirements for the types of Yaoi bloodlines, needing blood from low-ranking to high-ranking Yaoi, and in considerable quantities.

To master this cultivation method as quickly as possible, Zhang Yu could only continue the company’s recruitment activities to collect low-ranking Yao blood.

At the same time, he did not give up on importing high-ranking Yao blood from Ying Zhoufan.

In the following period, Zhang Yu practiced the “Yao Sheng Wan Bian Shen Jing” over and over again. As large amounts of Yao blood were consumed, especially large quantities of high-ranking Yaoi blood, his Lingbi steadily decreased.

Coupled with the repair of the Qijue Fa Hai and the maintenance of various magic artifacts, Zhang Yu’s Lingbi quickly ran low.

Fortunately, the income from the sponsored moves in the previous match and the prize money from the finals were successively credited, and Zhang Yu’s account balance surged again, reaching over 400 Lingbi, which could be described as having ample ammunition.

On Zhang Yu’s flying ship.

In a room with all equipment turned off and all connections to the spiritual world severed.

Zhang Yu was seen forming Daoist hand seals, his magical power flowing as he cast numerous restrictions, extracting threads of demonic energy from the various Yao blood samples before him and refining them into his Dantian.

The demonic energy then circulated throughout his body, gradually merging into his flesh and blood, allowing his physical body to slowly grasp a transforming ability.

After another round of cultivation, thousands of roaring sounds of Yaoi seemed to echo in Zhang Yu’s mind.

In an instant, he felt as if he had transformed into various great demons, capable of flying to the sky and burrowing into the earth, moving mountains and overturning seas, battling with nature itself.

Yao Sheng Wan Bian Shen Jing Level 5 (0/50)

Looking at the Level 5 Daoist technique on the panel, Zhang Yu nodded slightly, thinking that it should not be difficult to advance this technique to the Foundation Establishment stage (Level 11) before the next finals.

The next moment, with a thought, a strand of hair was blown off by his protective Gangqi and floated before him.

The hair then twisted, expanded, and deformed, as if becoming a mass of living flesh, from which low growls emanated.

Zhang Yu knew that if he continued to circulate the cultivation method, he could use this strand of hair as a base to summon a Yaoi avatar. Whether it would be an eagle demon, a pig demon, a lion demon… or some other demon would depend on what Yaoi bloodlines he had refined and his own choice.

This Yaoi avatar would be like an extra limb, not only controllable at will but also possessing the physical strength of the Foundation Establishment level, and some special abilities of the Yaoi.

“However, a Yaoi avatar formed from a single strand of hair would only last for a few minutes before collapsing and dissipating at most.”

“Only by investing more flesh and blood into the transformation will the Yaoi avatar last longer, its physical strength be closer to mine, and it can even inherit the physical activation ability of my ‘Can Niu She Shen Xin Jue’.”

“If I transmit magical power and Gangqi through a sword array, it won’t be difficult for me to manipulate it to perform martial arts.”

“And if I equip the avatar with magic artifacts… its combat power could multiply.”

The next moment, with a sweep of Gangqi, the mass of still-deforming hair was completely obliterated, dissipating into the air.

“But indeed, using it directly is still too obvious.”

“To use it in the finals, I still need the Bishui Jinjing Jia for disguise.”

Zhang Yu thought to himself, “It seems I need to buy more aquatic Yaoi blood. In the future, when activating the Bishui Jinjing Jia to breed aquatic demonic beasts, I can mix in some of my Yaoi avatars.”

“Then the Yaoi avatars I summon should naturally be primarily aquatic Yaoi.”

Just then, Zi Yunzhen’s voice called from outside the door, “Boss? Are you there?”

Zhang Yu’s gaze moved. He had publicly announced that he was going into seclusion to modify magic artifacts, knowing that his assistants would not disturb him without special circumstances.

Zhang Yu: “What’s wrong?”

Zi Yunzhen said, “Bai Zhenzhen from Tianjian University wants you to check your messages.”

Zhang Yu’s heart stirred, and he reconnected to the spiritual world with his eye-bone, seeing that Bai Zhenzhen had sent a barrage of messages.

Bai Zhenzhen: Come over quickly
Bai Zhenzhen: Where are you?
Bai Zhenzhen: Urgent! Urgent! Urgent!

When Zhang Yu arrived at Bai Zhenzhen’s flying ship, he found that it seemed to be empty.

And when he entered Bai Zhenzhen’s room, he still didn’t see Bai Zhenzhen, only a hole in one of the walls.

Zhang Yu curiously examined the hole, and just as he wondered, he heard Bai Zhenzhen’s voice from inside the hole: “Yuzi, lean your body against this hole.”

Zhang Yu leaned over, puzzled, “What’s wrong? A-Zhen?”

Bai Zhenzhen said, “My master went to attend the meeting of the four-school Incarnation stage cultivators to discuss the competition. She doesn’t have time to pay attention here right now.”

“This is a rare opportunity, and I’ve turned off all communication devices on the flying ship.”

Bai Zhenzhen said, “It’s been a long time since we ‘did that’ after our last meeting under the arena at Tianjian University…”

Hearing Bai Zhenzhen’s “that,” Zhang Yu immediately understood that she was referring to “exchanging spiritual roots.”

After all, with their minds so in tune, there was no need to say the words “spiritual roots” to increase risk; just using “that” was enough for mutual understanding.

Zhang Yu had also been looking for an opportunity for this spiritual root exchange, but ever since the Ten Great Leagues began, there were various top university prodigies everywhere, and the occasional attention from the Qiqing Shenjun, which made him dare not act rashly.

Zhang Yu walked to the hole and said, “Is Qiqing Shenjun really gone?”

He immediately thought of the information about Incarnation stage cultivators that Dao Qiankun had mentioned earlier.

Zhang Yu secretly thought, “A meeting of the four-school Incarnation stage cultivators? Are the Incarnation stage cultivators from Wanfa, Jingang, Xianbing, and Tianjian also planning to unify their thoughts, like the Incarnation stage cultivators from the Four Heavenly Demon Schools, to jointly confront the Kuang Tianqing of the Four Heavenly Demon Schools?”

“If it’s such a major event, then Qiqing Shenjun probably really has no time to pay attention here.”

But Zhang Yu then thought, “But if you get close to me now, sword qi will erupt, attracting the prying eyes of others.”

Bai Zhenzhen’s voice came from behind the hole: “That’s why I made this hole.”

“As long as your person isn’t visible, and it’s just ‘that,’ I should be able to hold back now.”

“Hurry up.”

At this point, Bai Zhenzhen urged again, “The old man might come back at any time.”

“You quickly aim for the hole first.”

Since Bai Zhenzhen had said so, Zhang Yu decided to trust her. Moreover, to compete for first place in the Ten Great Leagues, he was unwilling to easily give up any method that could increase his strength.

So Zhang Yu leaned against the wall, aligning his spiritual root as much as possible with the hole.

The next moment, Zhang Yu felt his spiritual root shoot out violently, plunging deep into Bai Zhenzhen’s Dantian in one breath.

At the same time, Bai Zhenzhen’s spiritual root also leaped into Zhang Yu’s Dantian.

With this exchange of spiritual roots, a strange sensation enveloped both of them, making them tremble slightly.

That was the spiritual roots beginning to feed back the enhancements adapted within each other’s bodies to the exchanged physical bodies.

Qi and blood, magical power, physical strength, endurance, bone density, and even various resistances of the body were being changed by the spiritual roots.

Especially since it had been too long since their last spiritual root exchange, the physical differences between the two were greater, leading to even more intense stimulating changes.

Bai Zhenzhen fiercely suppressed the urge to shout out loud and unleash sword qi, biting her lip, she said, “Yuzi, how do you feel?”

Zhang Yu said, “I feel… very strange, I can feel your Dantian.”

Bai Zhenzhen took a deep breath and said, “Me… me too.”

Immediately after, Bai Zhenzhen felt the feedback from the spiritual roots becoming increasingly intense and powerful.
