You dare to cultivate without money?!-Chapter 320 - 271: Fu Ji Levels Up, Passes the Second Stage

Chapter 320: Chapter 271: Fu Ji Levels Up, Passes the Second Stage

Hearing Fu Ji’s voice in his mind, Zhang Yu was initially startled, then delighted, thinking to himself, "You finally woke up."

But Fu Ji seemed to hear Zhang Yu’s thoughts directly and replied, "Yes, I’m awake."

"But it seems like I slept for quite a while."

Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback by her words, then thought to himself, "Can you feel my thoughts?"

Fu Ji chuckled, saying, "Relax, it’s not mind-reading."

"It’s just that now I can have telepathic communication with believers."

"Not only can my voice reach your mind, but the thoughts you want to convey to me can also be sensed by me."

"From now on, you won’t need to type on your phone to communicate with me in public places."

"After all, I’ve gained quite a lot this time, and have been restored from a Level 1 lower-ranked Evil God to a Level 2 Evil God’s status."

"Hehe, the Eight Divisions also call this level of Evil God a Wandering Evil Shadow."

Zhang Yu tried to communicate in his mind, asking, "Why did you sleep for so long this time?"

Fu Ji said, "Wasn’t it because I caught that colleague in such a hurry?"

"I went to great lengths to catch him, and then fought with him for quite a while before finally defeating him."

"Then I had to digest and recover at the same time, taking forever to wake up again."

"But at least I’ve recovered to a Level 2 Evil God’s status, hehe... Now, I don’t have to fall asleep and hide from a True God all the time, there’s no need to worry about being discovered most times."

Zhang Yu nodded slightly, then asked a crucial question, "Can you enhance my potential again?"

Fu Ji didn’t reply, but Zhang Yu felt a sinister force emerging from the black pearl Fu Ji had transformed into, flowing through his arm, shoulder, neck... before finally surging into his spiritual sea.

The next instant, Zhang Yu felt a slight pain in his palm.

Opening his palm, he saw a transparent symbol forming there.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "It’s similar to when the Yu Shu first appeared, and the symbols that appeared when I upgraded and unlocked the Chain Technique Map, only this time it’s more complex."

But this time the transparent symbol wasn’t quickly filled like when I upgraded to open the Chain Technique Map.

Instead, it was like when the Yu Shu first appeared, slowly being filled with black bit by bit...

Zhang Yu estimated in his mind, "It will take about three to four days to fill completely."

"I guess by then, I can unlock a new page of the Yu Shu."

After enhancing Zhang Yu’s potential, Fu Ji asked, "Where’s Bai Zhenzhen? Let me help enhance her too... Speaking of which, why are you on a Flying Boat? Where are you heading to?"

So Zhang Yu recounted what had happened while Fu Ji was asleep.

Upon hearing that Bai Zhenzhen had awakened her divine Spirit Root and was taken to Sky Sword University to apprentice under the Seven Emotions Divine Monarch, Fu Ji was shocked.

She thought to herself, "Hmm? Sky Sword University, is Azhen going to be forged into a divine Spirit Root Flying Sword?"

"I had long advised Zhang Yu to dig up the True Spirit Root and use it himself. Now that someone else has snatched it, it’s surely an investment gone wrong."

"But it might not be a divine Spirit Root Flying Sword; after all, her Spirit Root can evolve. If I were the investor, I’d cultivate it into an Immortal Spirit Root before refining the person and root together immediately."

"And by taking in a disciple with a divine Spirit Root, they can boost their reputation. Maybe other poor souls with natural Spirit Roots would emerge too?"

"Damn it, it’s even more of a loss looking at it this way."

Although Fu Ji was not familiar with the details of this Seven Emotions Divine Monarch, can there be any good people among Kunxu’s Divinity Transformation Cultivators? Wishing upon a Divinity Transformation Divine Monarch would be less reliable than swearing an oath to her, Fu Ji.

Despite feeling like she’d suffered a huge loss, Fu Ji dared not voice her speculations in front of Zhang Yu.

In her view, even if Zhang Yu knew, it would be useless and only affect his cultivation.

"At least the last time when I analyzed Wang Yin’s self-destruction of his Foundation Establishment cultivation for him, I only told him that after Foundation Establishment, the Spirit Root would break its connection and destroy the Spirit Root but didn’t tell him about the whole person and root being cooked together."

"Humph, Master Xinghuo also kept silent, so it seems he understands that this shouldn’t be spoken of either."

As these thoughts flickered through her mind, Fu Ji already laughed, "That’s good news, very good news."

"Azhen is incredibly lucky to have caught the eye of a Divinity Transformation old monster. Her cultivation will surely progress by leaps and bounds in the future."

"Zhang Yu, you must keep up too."

"Otherwise, you won’t be able to enter their circle in the future. When you send New Year or festive greetings, don’t expect a reply."

Zhang Yu shrugged and thought, "Azhen isn’t that kind of person."

"Besides, between her and me, there’s no need to send festive greetings."

"If there’s something, just say it." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Zhang Yu thought to himself: "On the first layer, for safety reasons, Sky Sword University doesn’t allow anyone to contact Azhen."

"But once I reach the second layer, I should be able to get in touch with her."

"After all, Azhen did say she would come to find me then."

At that moment, a loud shout from Xiong Wenwu came from the front: "How long are you going to press me down? This is discrimination against beast-descendants!"

The staff member pressing him down sneered, their muscles shifted, revealing a patch of leopard spots.

Then the person said: "Discrimination against beast-descendants? I am a beast-descendant myself, how could I discriminate against beast-descendants?"

"Let me tell you, I discriminate against all of you first-layer people."

With that, he pointed to his eyes and then at everyone present, warning: "Remember, I’ll be watching all of you closely. You’d better not have any malicious thoughts. Otherwise, if you try to bring anything you shouldn’t through customs, I will definitely catch you."

Amidst this commotion, Le Mulan, Qian Shen, Song Halong, and others quietly watched the scene.

Some people aim for the top ten, some aim for the 36 colonels, some aim for the 72 disciplines, while others plan to enter the academy, all together riding the flying boat to the ascent platform.

But now, standing in front of the staff, they all had only one identity—first-layer people.

Of course, that is, except for soul cultivators like Zhao Tianxing, who were together in the cargo box.

On the side, Yu Xinghan watched the scene, clenching his fist tightly, a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.

Zhang Yu patted his shoulder, comforting him: "Han Zi, don’t get worked up. Didn’t Old Deng say? The people above always look at us below like beggars."

"We just need to endure a bit, work hard for a while up there..."

"Once we can endure enough to blend in as second-layer locals and not be recognized as first-layer people, we won’t be discriminated against anymore."

Yu Xinghan said: "I understand what you said."

"I’m not agitated, I’m just afraid..."

He touched his stomach and said: "Do you think I should take out the synthetic food I’ve hidden in my rectum?"

"You damn..." Zhang Yu quickly moved several meters away: "If you’re going to die, don’t involve me. Didn’t Master tell you there’s a limit on food carrying?"

Yu Xinghan said helplessly: "I just wanted to bring more, to save more once I get up there, and take a few more steps on the Immortal Path."

"Didn’t you hear Master say? Up there, one cup of water is worth several days of living expenses down here."

"Besides, I hid it in my rectum, even if they find it, I’ll just say I like to eat food unopened, swallowing it whole..."

Yu Xinghan, saying this, still shook his head unsurely: "Forget it, I’d better take it out now and just eat it."

Shortly after Yu Xinghan left, Le Mulan came over, inviting Zhang Yu: "Want to grab some food? I heard the food on the flying boat is of the second-layer dining style, want to try it together?"

Zhang Yu asked: "Is it expensive? Can we use first-layer currency?"

Le Mulan said: "I checked, it’s of the second-layer dining style, but they use first-layer ingredients and accept first-layer currency."

Hearing that, Zhang Yu was relieved and followed Le Mulan to the flying boat’s dining hall, but was stunned by the menu.

"Capsule combo... Medicine triple force... Staring needle..."

Even Zhang Yu, who had tasted many Kunxu delicacies, was shocked: "Damn, these are all medicines, where are the dishes?"

At this moment, Li Xuelian sat down beside them and casually said: "The food industry on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th layers has long been mostly taken over by the pharmaceutical industry. Most people eat medicine as food, only the wealthy can afford to eat dishes. Oasis here doesn’t even sell much food."

"After all, most people eat to quickly replenish strength, energy, mana, and nutrients, improve focus, and excitement, to complete work and studies. The poor at most pair it with some concrete to suppress excess digestion."

Le Mulan nodded: "Compared to ordinary food, medicines have no competition, so being phased out is only normal."

Li Xuelian slightly smiled at this, glancing at her: "I heard you want to apply for pharmacology at Wanfa University? You seem to have researched the second-layer situation well? Then again, your Le family does have elders on the second layer."

Fu Ji asked surprisedly: "Is Li Xuelian also going with you to the second layer?"

Zhang Yu explained to Fu Ji in his mind: "It seems Li Xuelian already had a job up there and volunteered to go to the first layer to accompany Master Xinghuo in cultivating disciples."

Fu Ji thought: "Looks like this Li Xuelian is doing quite well, able to arrange her transitions so freely. Or did Master Xinghuo leave some connections and influences that she inherited?"

Li Xuelian asked Zhang Yu: "Where is that kid Yu Xinghan? I couldn’t find him."

Zhang Yu said helplessly: "He went to the bathroom."

At that moment, a voice came over the flying boat’s broadcast, announcing it was about to reach the ascent platform and would begin the service for processing customs registration, currency exchange, and so on.

Zhang Yu and Le Mulan quickly finished their meal and followed Li Xuelian to the designated spot to queue, disembarked from the flying boat, and arrived at the ascent platform.

The ascent platform is a massive palace floating among the clouds, and stepping inside already counts as entering the second layer’s territory.

Next, after everyone completes the procedures, they will take different flying boats to various cities on the second layer according to their destinations.
