You dare to cultivate without money?!-Chapter 339 - 288: Le Mulan’s Mission

When Zhang Yu first saw the introduction to the War Demon Life-Extending Technique, he strongly doubted if this was really the cultivation technique civil engineering people needed to learn.

Then he took a look at the user feedback.

"As long as you’re young, life isn’t worth much. Work one day, lose two days’ life, feels like you’re still making a profit. Spend life now to earn more money so you can afford to extend your life later."

"Times have changed. Now that Immortal Path medicines are so advanced, the War Demon Life-Extending Technique isn’t that scary. As long as you take medicine properly, you can minimize side effects, and long-term use isn’t a problem."

"I’m a sophomore in the Civil Engineering Department. I’ve seen many seniors complain about this technique. I just think that losing life to earn more money is like speeding up work time. If you can’t handle even this, you can’t do anything else either."

"We should be thankful. Hundreds of years ago, our profession was called corvée labor. After finishing the work, there was no money, and you might even be buried with the dead, not just losing life. Kunxu has indeed progressed."

Looking at this user feedback, Zhang Yu confirmed that this War Demon Life-Extending Technique was indeed a commonly used cultivation technique in the Civil Engineering Department, and he confirmed another thing.

"Is this user feedback section all just shills? Hmm... Or maybe they’re being sarcastic."

"Damn... do civil engineering people have to work this hard?"

What left Zhang Yu even more speechless was the discovery that, in the past, the War Demon Life-Extending Technique was used for combat, needing only short-term use.

But now, it’s used for overtime work, requiring taking medicine while using it long term.

Fu Ji, listening to Zhang Yu’s lament, said, "Hehe, otherwise, why do you think those Golden Core True Men don’t do the work themselves and earn the money, but hire you Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining people?"

"Isn’t it just because a lot of construction work takes up their cultivation time and wears down the body and magic remains, so they offload it to below?"

"There are no easy opportunities to make money by lying down in this world for us."

"In this Kunxu, anyone who wants to make big money from the bottom up has to work bitterly and tirelessly, staking their life."

"But you don’t need to worry too much about this War Demon Life-Extending Technique."

"After all, with your physique, your body’s endurance and self-healing ability are extraordinary. For other cultivators, this technique might reduce lifespan, but for you, it won’t be that easy to reduce your life."

"Just keep the bodily wear from this technique within your endurance."

Zhang Yu nodded slightly, recalling the body activation brought by the Can Niu Soul Heart Technique and the self-healing power from the Martial Arts Saint Body.

"In the future, if I want to use this War Demon Life-Extending Technique, I’ll have to remember to switch to the Martial Arts Saint Body with the chain technique map."

"However, the Martial Arts Saint Body is after all a Qi Refinement stage set, so its effectiveness has weakened considerably for me in the Foundation Establishment Stage, in the future in the Foundation Establishment stage... I’ll probably have to gather the Martial Arts Saint Body of the Foundation Establishment Stage."

As thoughts flickered across his mind, Zhang Yu had already continued his practice of the War Demon Life-Extending Technique.

With mana flowing throughout his body, developing potential, preparing for a burst in a short time.

Fu Ji, having observed for a while, confirmed that it’s still considered safe below 100 levels, and reminded him, "If you have the opportunity, find a place below the 100th floor, and perform a ritual for me."

"I haven’t used a ritual for this Level 2 Evil God yet."

...

At the dormitory entrance.

Only Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan were seen exchanging blows, with Zhang Yu constantly using Lang You Gong to guide and assist in Yu Xinghan’s body refinement, improving their spirit root fusion.

Back on the first floor of Kunxu, the two had already harmonized their mutual body refinement and mutual cultivation assistance methods under Master Xinghuo’s guidance.

Coupled with the guidance of Lang You Gong, their learning progressed rapidly.

Under these circumstances, Zhang Yu used Spring and Autumn Endless Zen to cooperate with Yu Xinghan’s body refinement, which was currently his fastest method of improving physical strength.

"After all, Earth Eating Divine Skill, War Demon Life-Extending Technique... Yu Xinghan isn’t aware I’m cultivating these, and these two techniques each have their wonders. One strengthens the body, and the other develops potential and bursts when needed, but in terms of pure numeric improvement of physical strength, they are not as good as Spring and Autumn Endless Zen."

Looking at the increasingly obvious Dao Seed on Yu Xinghan’s body, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "To replicate the Three-Eyed Divine Power, I need to get Yu Xinghan’s spirit root fusion to ninety percent."

"He is probably about the same as me now at seventy percent. According to Teacher Lang’s estimates, it will take three months if fast or more than half a year if slower."

"I don’t even know what kind of effect this Three-Eyed Divine Power has."

Le Mulan stood on the side, somewhat envious as she watched Yu Xinghan, wishing to take his place to gain the high efficiency of body refinement.

But unfortunately... she is only at the Qi Refinement Realm now, how could she spar with Zhang Yu in the Foundation Establishment Realm?

After greeting them, Le Mulan left the dormitory and headed to the pharmacology teaching area.

...

Just as Le Mulan sat down in the classroom, a young man walked up and sat in the seat in front of her.

Le Mulan glanced at him, knowing that he was her classmate, currently ranked fourth in the class, Xuan Ge.

Xuan Ge looked at Le Mulan, asking with admiration, "Le, your body is special, your mana naturally has a hint of coldness, an Ice Mana, right?"

Le Mulan nodded: "Is there something you need, Xuan?"

Xuan Ge smiled slightly and said, "You should know that I’m from the 3rd layer, right? Next year I should be able to pass the Foundation Establishment exam, and I’ve already been taken as a disciple by a Golden Core True Man in pharmacology."

Le Mulan was slightly stunned, then said, "Well... congratulations."

Xuan Ge continued, "You might be wondering why someone as excellent and promising as me would come to find someone like you, who’s mid-tier in the class?"

He smiled slightly and said, "Although your grades are average, and you are from the first layer, the innate advantage of your ice mana is irreplaceable by other students."

"I want to become friends with you."

What Xuan Ge truly wanted to say in his heart... was actually, "I want to dual cultivate with you."

Of course, the reason Xuan Ge thought this way wasn’t because of lust for beauty.

Although the Le Mulan before him had icy skin and jade bones, with a pair of purple eyes radiating unique charm, Xuan Ge was always more focused on his studies.

His reason for wanting this was because the combination of the other party’s ice mana and Xuan Ge’s own fiery mana would have miraculous effects in dual cultivation.

Dual cultivation... Xuan Ge knew that in most high schools, students were not encouraged to dual cultivate, fearing that students would lose control and eventually neglect their studies.

But when it comes to university, especially after entering one of the top ten, it’s different.

The process of getting into the top ten has already proven their resolve, they can completely grasp the nuances within.

And if both parties have innate special mana, it’s even more encouraged.

Xuan Ge heard that at Hehuan University, they would even directly gather students with innate special mana to engage in dual cultivation, triple cultivation... even up to dozens, greatly advancing the students’ cultivation levels.

But Xuan Ge understood that talking about dual cultivation right away would seem too eager, and the other party might try to negotiate a price.

He thought to himself, "First become good friends, this way maybe dual cultivation won’t cost money, and even if it does, it could be at a discount."

This was advice from a senior brother, and Xuan Ge strongly agreed; on the Immortal Path, saving a little now means more progress in the future.

Just as Xuan Ge was looking at Le Mulan, a message from Le Jingchen popped into Le Mulan’s purple eyes.

Le Jingchen: I sent you 0.5 spirit coins, did you receive it?

Le Mulan: Yes, I received it, thanks, brother.

Le Jingchen: After all, the second layer of the Le family is a layer above us, and they will prioritize themselves with resources. We, as their kin from the first layer, will only be truly accepted and invested in if we show results.

Le Jingchen: You mentioned last time that you stay with Zhang Yu?

Le Jingchen: Can you get me some Yu juice?

Inside the classroom, seeing Le Mulan’s distracted look, Xuan Ge thought, "I, a person from the third layer, wanting to be friends with her, has it surprised her?"

Xuan Ge said, "Le classmate?"

Le Mulan absent-mindedly responded with a hum.

Le Jingchen: A company here is interested in Yu juice; if you can get more, we would have more chances to make our mark on the second layer.

Le Mulan: Currently, four people are living here; it’s inconvenient... if others want it too after they know I asked, then what? Didn’t you say no one should know about this?

Le Jingchen: What do two people next to you matter? Won’t you find an opportunity to secretly make a move?

Le Mulan: After the last incident, he’s on guard against me, making it difficult to make a move.

In the classroom, Xuan Ge said, "Le classmate, where do you usually practice after class? Shall we do it together?"

Le Jingchen: Do you understand? Just do it the way I taught you, take the initiative, snatch it like taking chestnuts from the fire.

Le Mulan: Doing so... doesn’t feel right.

Le Jingchen: Lan Lan, you are no longer a high school student, you are a university student now and have made it to the second layer.

Le Jingchen: You need to understand, many things you couldn’t do in high school can not only be done in university but can be done grandly, don’t bring those high school habits over here.

Xuan Ge noticed Le Mulan’s breathing deepen, appearing tense, which made him puzzled.

"This woman... is a bit strange."

Xuan Ge said, "Le classmate?"

Le Mulan came back to her senses, looked at him and said, "Xuan classmate, I want to be alone for a moment, let’s talk next time if there’s anything." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com

...

93rd layer.

Accompanied by a series of shouts, with the practice of the War Demon Life-Extending Technique once more, Zhang Yu had already cultivated this technique to Level 10.

Feeling the scenes of practice flashing through his mind, Zhang Yu thought, "After reaching Level 10, the War Demon Life-Extending Technique can trigger a second burst, where the loss of life span is counted in years..."

"A single burst, paired with the Martial Arts Saint Womb to activate bodily functions, plus taking more medicine, within a certain time... I can still use it without side effects."

"But this second burst..."

Zhang Yu thought about it but still had no intention of trying.

"With less than two weeks, the three-month basic course will end. If I put in more effort before the exams, my War Demon Life-Extending Technique should reach Level 20."

At this moment, Fu Ji said, "Zhang Yu, it’s time to commence the ritual."
