Chapter 386: Chapter 335 Competition Team
Hearing Zhang Yu’s question, Zhang Pianpian was slightly stunned and said, “Who in this world isn’t short of money?”
“I am indeed gathering so money. Although I’m still short a bit, I should be able to gather it all soon.”
Upon hearing Zhang Pianpian’s response, Zhang Yu thought to himself, “Could it be that she’s just short of 50 Spirit Coins?”
However, he wasn’t sure if the 50 Spirit Coins that appeared in his Dao Seed was related to Zhang Pianpian’s money gathering, so he couldn’t bring it up and had to temporarily bury his doubts in his heart.
At the sa ti, Zhang Yu also felt that his own Spirit Coins were increasingly inadequate.
“Sigh, truly, it’s about rging spiritual and physical. I’ll try it myself first and spend money only if I can’t manage it.”
In the following few days, Zhang Yu and the other three continued studying, cultivating, and working as usual, as if nothing had happened.
That day, Zhang Yu was still in the cetery, practicing the breathing technique as usual.
After days of hard cultivation, he had completed the seventh technique of Qi Vein Flow and was practicing the eighth technique — Spirit Guiding Body Tempering Technique.
At that mont, his mana circulated and thick spiritual chanism flowed through his ridians, continually dissipating and quietly tempering all his muscles and tendons.
During this ti working and cultivating in the cetery, he chose a breathing technique which could temper his muscles during breathing, so his body refinent progress wouldn’t fall too much, as he spent more ti ditating and breathing each day.
But while cultivating the seventh and eighth breathing techniques, he also felt his cultivation efficiency slowing down.
And this slowness… was not due to the environnt nor was there any change in his state; it was just because the breathing techniques Zhang Yu was cultivating were getting harder and harder.
“But there’s no helping it.”
Zhang Yu sighed inwardly, “The breathing techniques belonging to the Qi Vein Flow set have only ten or so techniques, the simplest ones have already been completed, while the remaining ones are quite complex, each cycle takes quite a bit of ti.”
“As it is, even for , it might take half a month or even a month to upgrade one breathing technique to Level 20.”
Zhang Yu knew, if soone heard his lant, they might want to beat him up.
But for him who was used to quickly enhancing his cultivation techniques, a month to cultivate one technique to Level 20 was indeed a bit lacking.
After a long ti, Zhang Yu felt the power from the last batch of dicine was exhausted, so he slowly ended his cultivation, taking the opportunity to look at the accumulated ssages in the eye remains.
First responding to so dicine sharing information in the dorm group, then looking through so assignnt information in the class group, Zhang Yu quickly skimd through them.
Then there were all sorts of random ssages in various groups.
Including a crafting group Ye Xingli pulled him into, two factions were arguing over which brand’s leg tendon magic remains was better: Vajra Mysterious Creation or Heavenly Craftsmanship.
And the Songyang hotown group had another bad news, a student from Shuizhou Demon Descendant Professional College nearly died because he didn’t eat dicine to save money, overworking his heart by staying up late for years, now borrowing money in the group to buy energy capsules so he can stay up safely.
Chu Qiuhe from Vajra University: No lending money in the group, a first warning, second ti you’re out
Xiong Wenwu from Sky Demon University: We’re all fellow townsn, he just wants to borrow so money to not sleep, don’t be so strict?
Chu Qiuhe from Vajra University: No money, just go to sleep
A Demon Descendant student jumped out and replied: Making him sleep every day in college is no different from telling him to die? He’s a college student who just doesn’t want to sleep, wanting to study, what’s wrong about that?
Chu Qiuhe from Vajra University: Who knows if it’s a scam. If you’re really so poor you can’t afford to stay up, then why bother cultivating immortality?
With a casual glance at the group argunt, Zhang Yu looked at the other accumulated ssages.
Then he noticed Cong Na from the competition team sent him a ssage.
Cong Na: The rest of the team agreed, I’ll send you the competition materials and pull you into the group
Zhang Yu first accepted the competition materials, scanned through them briefly, and then agreed to the invitation to join the group.
Zhang Yu: Hello everyone, I’m new here, please take care of , seniors.
Cong Na: Welco
Ma Xuan: Welco to join
Zhang Yu greeted, but aside from Cong Na and Ma Xuan, no third person welcod him, and their chat records were quickly brushed aside.
Zhang Yu took a quick look and found three others were chatting fervently about Taoist skills, line after line quickly populating the chat box.
Zhang Yu checked the profiles of the five others in the group aside from himself.
He found that except for Cong Na who was only showing as class fifth, everyone else showed their departnt ranking as well.
Among them, Ma Xuan was ranked 35th in the entire departnt, while the remaining three were also in the forties and fifties.
Counting Zhang Yu among the six, they ford a competition team.
Zhang Yu also looked at their grades and found most were no more than fifth-year college students.
Zhang Yu understood those who managed to reach the top 50 in the departnt at this stage were obviously elite academic talents from the Civil Engineering Departnt.
“No wonder no one paid attention to .”
Zhang Yu completely understood that it was normal for high-ranking students to ignore low-ranking students, and ignoring them was quite polite.
At this mont, a student nad Bo Ziran posted a short video, showing a freshly unpacked lung magic remain.
Bo Ziran: Latest lung magic remain from Ten Thousand Dao Craftsman Sect, breathing accumulates and condenses Lung Gold Sword Qi
Bo Ziran: Subscribe to the Ten Thousand Dao Craftsman Sect’s monthly service, and there are 23 kinds of Sword Qi available for replacent.
Bo Ziran: Got it for 18.88 Spirit Coins.
Zhang Yu saw the price and wanted to say it was expensive, but then saw another student nad Yang Yan reply: This price is cheap, did you get an insider discount?
Bo Ziran: I have an uncle working at the Ten Thousand Dao Craftsman Sect, bought it at an insider price this ti.
As Zhang Yu looked at the group’s conversations about Magic Remains, drugs, Taoist Skills, and Magic Treasures, he thought about the flour brick he had fought so hard to get recently and felt increasingly out of place in this group, unable to participate in these topics.
And looking at these fourth-year and fifth-year top students in the group, none of whom ranked in the top 20 of the entire departnt, Zhang Yu sighed slightly in his heart: “Master Xinghuo, this Old Deng… still let join the Civil Engineering Departnt first and then transfer to the Artifact Refining Departnt. Does he know how difficult it is to transfer departnts in university now?”
“To reach the top 20 in the whole departnt by the end of the third year… that’s tough.”
Zhang Yu knew that to outperform middle and upper-year students in the lower grades required studying the courses for higher grades in advance.
This not only required terrifying talent but also a lot of money.
Just like their classmate Ji Yuanshu aid at transferring departnts as a genius goal.
During this ti, Zhang Yu gradually understood the regular cultivation plans of those geniuses who aid to transfer departnts.
“In the first and second years, it’s basically about laying the foundation, pushing base data to the peak of Foundation Establishnt.”
“In the third year, start advance studies, accelerated through the Spirit Realm, learn a lot of higher-grade courses and pass the exams.”
“Finally, in the third year, accumulate a lot of comprehensive scores to reach a rank in the top 50, only then can one transfer departnts.”
“And if transferring from the Civil Engineering Departnt to the Artifact Refining Departnt, the requirent is even more stringent, at least reaching the top 20.”
Zhang Yu thought: “Master Xinghuo may have been away from college too long.”
“And my sister thinks… even if I can’t make it, transferring to the Artifact Refining Departnt through graduate school is also viable in the future.”
“But…” Zhang Yu’s gaze fird, and he resolved painfully: “I want to enter the top ten sects, must seize the ti… get admitted before their entrance channels close.”
“And the top ten sects don’t accept the Civil Engineering Departnt.”
Zhang Yu thought: “I must join the Artifact Refining Departnt earlier, start cultivating the content of the Artifact Refining Departnt earlier.”
“Transferring to the Artifact Refining Departnt through graduate school… is too slow, way too slow.”
Looking at the rankings of Ma Xuan and others, the sense of urgency in Zhang Yu’s heart surged again, and he hurried to continue cultivating.
However, the effect of the last dose of dicine was already spent, and the efficiency of breathing exercises at this mont had diminished significantly.
Zhang Yu decided to take advantage of this ti, before taking another dose, to try integrating spirit and flesh.
“According to Dao Heart class’s teacher Feng Jiu, the level of ntal thod operation… 24-hour operation is just the basics.”
“Above that, is reaching a semi-instinctive level.”
“And above semi-instinct is the state of entirely instinctive integration of spirit and flesh.”
Zhang Yu felt the operation of his ntal thod in his mind at this mont, recalling when he entered a pseudo-death state during the building collapse and got buried.
“At that ti, I appeared completely unconscious to the outside world, but in reality, I held onto the last bit of survival instinct.”
“I didn’t think or consider anything at the ti, just felt myself in a dark world of consciousness, striving with all efforts to maintain bodily regeneration.”
“This state of maintaining a last hint of clarity in the mind is approximately the semi-instinct level.”
“And the state of spirit and flesh integration, even when truly losing consciousness, completely comatose, is like breathing, continuously maintaining the operation of the ntal thod.”
Zhang Yu tried to trigger the pseudo-death state of the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen, incessantly clearing his mind of distractions.
But no matter how he tried to eliminate various thoughts, there always remained that last thought, keeping his final thread of clarity.
“Indeed difficult,” Zhang Yu thought to himself, “maintaining ntal thod operation even when unconscious… there’s no way a human can do this.”
During the following days, whenever Zhang Yu had ti during cultivation, he attempted the state of spirit and flesh integration.
Though he was never successful, he could sense slight improvents in the smoothness of the ntal thod operation.
Particularly, each ti he aid to reach the state with only one last thought left in his mind, the speed of entering improved progressively.
As ti flew by, before he knew it, it was early June.
It had been over a month since Zhang Yu first set foot in the cetery project.
During this month, initially having President Wang’s support, even after losing it later… but relying on the daily fierce dicine and the unique environnt of the cetery, Zhang Yu made substantial progress in mana, surging to the level of 661.3.
The quality of mana improved slower with the growth of numbers but still reached 168%.
With the constant operation of ntal thod, his Dao Heart steadily increased, reaching Level 14 (64.8%).
Due to concentrating on breathing exercises these days, physical strength lacked much training ti, only growing to Level 15.18.
And the Gang Qi conduction rate and the farthest conduction distance also grew steadily with the increase of base values, reaching 42% and 44 ters.
On this day, Ma Xuan contacted Zhang Yu again, inviting him to participate in the competition team’s integration training.
