Chapter 467: Chapter 410: Enough to Crush Countless College Students
Upon hearing what Xiao Qingxuan said, Zhang Yu nodded and responded, “I’ve heard a bit about it.”
Xiao Qingxuan continued, “That ancient Golden Core, after taking over my body, actually didn’t intend to kill . He even taught quite a few things. He planned to return my body to once he found a new one.”
Zhang Yu thought to himself, “Are there really such kind people in Kunxu?”
Xiao Qingxuan said, “According to this ancient Golden Core’s account…”
“He claid to be a righteous cultivator from the Tai Shang Dao Sect, participating in so grand battle between good and evil. Later, he was seriously injured and was put in a tomb by his fellow sect mbers to rest, in order to slowly recover his injuries while reducing his lifespan consumption.”
“When he awoke, his body had already decayed, and as a last resort, he had to take over my body.”
Zhang Yu thought, “Tai Shang Dao Sect? I’ve never heard of this sect. Is it a sect that has already been eliminated?”
“But if there wasn’t any conflict between this ancient Golden Core and Xiao Qingxuan, how did he accumulate so much debt? Where did that ancient Golden Core go? Could he have already found a new body?”
As more doubts surged in Zhang Yu’s mind, Xiao Qingxuan continued, “At the beginning, I got along quite well with this ancient cultivator, but as he understood more about Kunxu, his ntal state deteriorated.”
“In the end, he killed himself.”
“What?” Zhang Yu expressed his surprise, “Killed himself?”
Xiao Qingxuan nodded, “Devils climb to the high heavens, the Dao perishes under the collapsing sky… After saying this, he left my body, claiming he was going to kill himself.”
“Whatever he intended to do, it’s not my concern. The problem is that he left behind so things, especially so mories, habits, and thoughts… they have influenced , making feel out of place in this world at tis.”
“Things that originally seed normal now evoke disgust or even revulsion in , making seem like an out-of-touch ancient person…”
As he spoke, Xiao Qingxuan’s face was already full of distress.
“Just like with the recent uproar about the dual cultivation teaching, every ti I see related news, I feel uncomfortable all over, as if there’s another in my mind…”
Seeing the fleeting struggle on Xiao Qingxuan’s face, Zhang Yu felt a slight understanding of how he felt.
When he first ca to Kunxu, he too was very unaccustod to it.
But now it seems that the ancient Golden Core’s discomfort with Kunxu… surpassed even his own.
Although Zhang Yu had many more curiosities, like the ultimate whereabouts of the Golden Core, the exact cause of his suicide, or how Xiao Qingxuan accumulated a debt of over ten thousand spirit coins,
He didn’t press further, seeing the distress on Xiao Qingxuan’s face. He knew that if the other party was willing to talk, he would naturally talk. If he didn’t want to, asking was pointless.
So Zhang Yu rely patted him on the shoulder and comforted, “It’ll get better eventually, right?”
Xiao Qingxuan gave a bitter smile, “Is it that easy?”
“The information from a Golden Core True Man exceeds mine tenfold. Even if only a portion remains, the influence on is imnse.”
“The only way… is to use the mory technology of Sky Demon University, find a way to erase the Golden Core’s remaining mories in my mind.”
Sighing, Xiao Qingxuan continued,
…
In the simulation laboratory of the Spirit Realm.
With Zhang Yu once again successfully refining the Celestial Azure Gathering Cloud Pouch, he finally advanced this artifact refining skill to Level 9.
As a mana refining stage magic treasure refining technology, the craft of creating the Celestial Azure Gathering Cloud Pouch can only improve up to Level 10.
Zhang Yu thought to himself, “Next, I’ll return to the real world’s laboratory and use my Level 9 Celestial Azure Gathering Cloud Pouch skills to enhance the magic treasure’s level.”
He still rembered that in the real world, his Celestial Azure Gathering Cloud Pouch was only at Level 1. It was just right to refine the magic treasure and improve its level while honing his artifact refining skills to eventually drive the refining technology of the Celestial Azure Gathering Cloud Pouch to Level 10.
“Once I advance the refining technology of the Celestial Azure Gathering Cloud Pouch to Level 10, I can cultivate the subsequent advanced skills of refining the Taiyi Golden Liquid Pill.”
Although the Taiyi Golden Liquid Pill has a na with ‘pill,’ it is actually a magic treasure corresponding to the Foundation Establishnt stage, and it can only be studied as an advanced artifact refining skill after mastering the Level 10 Celestial Azure Gathering Cloud Pouch.
It’s also one of the magic treasures in the first three years of the Artifact Refining Departnt’s courses that Zhang Yu found very suitable for himself.
However, glancing at his savings of a little more than thirty spirit coins, Zhang Yu knew he had more spending ahead of him.
…
Yin Jiurao looked at Wan Sirou erging in the eye sockets of the skulls and said calmly, “Not succeeded yet?”
“My patience has limits.”
“It’s already been 3 days past the deadline you promised for successfully stealing the seed.”
Wan Sirou swallowed with difficulty and said helplessly, “The target’s Dao Heart is too firm this ti, and he even has severe ntal issues.”
“Initially, I disguised myself as a massage therapist, using my spiritual skills to amplify my charm, but couldn’t arouse his desires.”
“Later, I still pretended to be a massage therapist, under the guise of mana massage, injecting arousal mana during the massage to trigger his physiological reactions… but he just switched therapists.”
Saying this, a hint of indignation flashed across Wan Sirou’s face, “After the arousal, to be replaced… this is sothing I’ve never experienced.”
“And it was then, upon seeing the therapist he switched to, that I understood his aesthetic preferences were different from what I expected.”
Wan Sirou asserted, “The constant pressure of study and cultivation probably has twisted his psyche, making him completely aberrant…”
Yin Jiurao: “I’m not here to hear your excuses.”
Wan Sirou said, “This isn’t an excuse, but an objective analysis of the target.”
“Later, I also tried pretending as a long-ti user of Hehuan videos, inviting him to experience products under this pretense, disguising my Magic Remains as a product and sending it to him for experience…”
Yin Jiurao’s heart stirred, realizing that the Magic Remains under Hehuan cultivators have unique structures, all products of the Yin Yang Path company’s Yin Yang Magic Remains, and for them, it is an important cultivation tool, work tool, production tool.
This Magic Remains not only holds great power in the Yin Yang Harmony Path, but also forms a part of the cultivator’s body.
Once Zhang Yu used Wan Sirou’s Magic Remains, Wan Sirou would be able to extract Zhang Yu’s essence remotely.
However, Wan Sirou said: “But even so, this person has never used it, instead, his roommate Yu Xinhuan has used it a few tis.”
Saying this, Wan Sirou shook her head: “Facing Hehuan University’s latest product, the fact that a person with roots could resist using it even once indicates his trendous restraint over his inner desires…”
Then Wan Sirou recounted her attempts one by one, finally concluding: “This person’s Dao Heart is as solid as iron, ordinary thods can’t deceive him into giving his essence.”
“The Yin Yang Path, superior techniques cultivate emotion, inferior techniques pursue desire.”
“To win him over, it requires cultivating emotions, but that takes ti…”
Yin Jiurao frowned: “How much ti?”
Wan Sirou replied: “Six months to a year. If you are willing to accept this, I can start a new plan next week, but it will cost more.”
“Of course, if you cannot accept this, I can refund a portion of the money.”
Closing the communication with Wan Sirou, Yin Jiurao thought to herself: “This Zhang Yu is so cautious, he might really have a secret.”
“Is a long-term plan necessary?”
Yin Jiurao thought about several research projects in her hands that had been slow to progress, and found herself unconsciously frowning deeper.
As a professor at Wanfa University, she also faced performance assessnts, often feeling even more pressured than students.
Especially with the tense situation where pharmaceutical companies were continually expanding production and market, if she didn’t produce results soon…
Thinking of this, Yin Jiurao’s eyes flashed with a glimr.
“There isn’t much ti to waste.”
“Looks like only a more forceful thod will suffice.”
…
Inside the Artifact Refining Laboratory.
Zhang Yu was working alone to refine his Azure Cloud Purse.
The reason he was working alone and not sharing the laboratory rental costs with Ye Xingli was that Zhang Yu did not want to reveal the speed of his progress.
At this mont, he was operating the laboratory equipnt, injecting mana into it, cooperating with his Gang Qi to repeatedly refine the Level 1 magic treasure Azure Cloud Purse.
“After the magic treasure is initially crafted, it can be enhanced through further refining to raise its level.”
“However, there are many refining thods, including techniques with enhanced materials or material changes, as well as adjustnts of mana circuits, strengthening the treasure’s seals, and even thods involving the dragon vein, sun and moon, fate, and flesh and blood sacrifices.”
Zhang Yu thought to himself: “As for , I am using the refining technique inherent in the Azure Cloud Purse’s own skill to enhance this treasure’s quality, is it possible to…”
After finishing one round of refining, Zhang Yu looked at the Azure Cloud Purse on his Yu Shu and noticed that the number of refinents had increased by one.
Zhang Yu smiled slightly, thinking: “Sure enough, besides the initial crafting of a magic treasure, subsequent refining can also serve to raise the artifact refining skill level.”
While Zhang Yu was diligently honing his magic treasure skills, Feng Tingting sent another ssage.
Feng Tingting: Did you hear? A student in the Artifact Refining Departnt lost a betting agreent with his ntor.
Zhang Yu asked curiously: Betting agreent?
Feng Tingting: It involves refining one’s own Magic Remains. If they don’t et the ntor’s requirents, their Magic Remains will be taken by the ntor to be converted into a magic treasure.
Feng Tingting: Sigh, this is why you shouldn’t sign betting agreents recklessly.
After casually chatting with Feng Tingting for a few sentences, Zhang Yu suddenly found that soone nad Yin Jiurao had sent a friend request.
Seeing that the other party claid to be a professor of the Departnt of Pharmacology at Wanfa University, Zhang Yu directly accepted.
The first ssage the other party sent directly stunned Zhang Yu.
To sum it up for Zhang Yu… one shot, 5 spirit coins.
Zhang Yu decisively refused: I don’t do this kind of business.
Yin Jiurao: 10 spirit coins
Zhang Yu struggled to refuse: Really can’t do it
Yin Jiurao: 20 spirit coins, but I want to inspect the goods first
Yin Jiurao: Let remind you, 20 spirit coins are definitely enough for to forcibly take it and still pay the fines and compensations afterward.
Yin Jiurao: I want to do legitimate business, a long-term deal. Given that you are from our university, I’m discussing this nicely with you.
Seeing this ssage, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but curse inwardly: “Is there any morality left in Kunxu? Organizing a dual cultivation and grabbing each other, and teachers taking students’ essence just requires fines and compensation.”
Zhang Yu: If you dare to force , Director Gao behind won’t let you off.
Yin Jiurao: What about Director Gao? Won’t he sell out if the price is right?
Yin Jiurao: 30 spirit coins, including blood and other materials, this is my final offer.
Yin Jiurao: Think about it, with this one deal, how many graduates can you crush under this price? This opportunity isn’t always available.
Zhang Yu: I need to think about it.
