You dare to cultivate without money?!-Chapter 335 - 284 Ultimate - University Sacred Body (10/10)

Chapter 335: Chapter 284 Ultimate - University Sacred Body (10/10)

Seeing the first layer of the university’s Sacred Body open up in the Chain Technique Map, a trace of delight flashed in Zhang Yu’s eyes.

He casually grabbed a handful of medicine and stuffed it into his mouth, feeling it instantly dissolve into warmth surging through his limbs and bones as soon as it entered his stomach.

Feeling the medicine being absorbed just as easily as drinking water, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "With this university’s Sacred Body, I guess I could manage even if I take medicine every day for several years."

After unlocking the rudimentary university’s Sacred Body, Zhang Yu felt even more motivated and continued to practice the seventh basic cultivation technique.

...

Wanfa University City, 300th floor, Experimental Floor of Taoist Skills Department.

During the time Zhang Yu was focused on practicing basic cultivation techniques, Li Xiao was busy learning and cultivating with Gongshu Jin, Ying Xin, and others, trying to integrate himself into these upper-class circles while enhancing his strength.

Ying Xin smirked at him and said, "Li Xiao, let’s go, Divine Soul Cloud Sea together."

Hearing this, Li Xiao’s face showed a hint of hesitation.

Most of his savings had been spent last time on a loan to buy the Heavenly Eye Remains.

Even with a 30% discount, one hour of the Divine Soul Cloud Sea Technique costs 0.063 spirit coins, and practicing for 4 hours once totals 0.252 spirit coins.

During the past half month or so, accounting for several Taoist skill services, as well as renting cultivation remains, consuming fasting pills, and purchasing the same cultivation techniques as Ying Xin... all these expenses totaled over 1.5 spirit coins.

Of course, the benefits have been substantial as well. Li Xiao felt that his progress in the past half month was rapid, far surpassing the time when he was on the first floor, and his class ranking steadily rose.

Seeing Li Xiao’s hesitant look, Ying Xin impatiently said, "Are you going or not? Every time I call you, you dilly-dally. If you don’t come this time, don’t bother coming next time."

"If it weren’t for you practicing the same Body Refining Technique as me, do you think I’d call you?"

The image of the loan platform appeared in Li Xiao’s mind, then he laughed and said, "Let’s go! Without using Taoist skills to assist, the practice efficiency is just too slow."

Six hours later, Li Xiao, together with Gongshu Jin, Ying Xin, and others, walked out of the Taoist skill service area.

Li Xiao laughed loudly, "There are even freshmen working as waiters, what’s the point of attending university? Is the university for him to work? Working so much and still improving the ranking like this?"

After bantering with the group, Li Xiao enviously watched them head to the upper-level dormitory area while he made his way to the lower dormitory layers.

Looking at his account balance, Li Xiao frowned.

However, after seeing his ranking, he smiled again, "Ranked 11th in the class, with a comprehensive score of 288."

The comprehensive score is an overall evaluation score for a student, based on their credits, exam scores, competition results, project performance, and includes basic data like the student’s Dao Heart, mana, and physical strength.

As credits accumulate, grades improve, and achievements in competitions and projects increase, the comprehensive score will rise significantly, potentially reaching thousands.

However, for freshmen in the Foundation Establishment class, the comprehensive score is primarily influenced by basic data, given it’s the start of the term.

Looking at his ranking and comprehensive score, and then at the 498 points of the first-ranked Ji Yuanshu, Li Xiao thought to himself, "As long as I maintain this progress, by the time school starts in September, I will definitely be in the top 10 of the class, and maybe even the top 5."

He glanced at the rankings behind him, where Zhang Yu had fallen to 18th place, and his heart surged with even more excitement, "When the school starts, I’ll definitely be far ahead of Zhang Yu, and Mr. Tu will choose me for the construction site."

"I can earn extra money on the construction site, and repaying loans won’t be an issue."

With a light-hearted step, Li Xiao quickly walked past the 125th-floor dormitory area, when he heard the faint sound of something slicing through the air.

He turned to look and saw Zhang Yu practicing basic cultivation techniques at the dormitory entrance.

"Zhang Yu?"

Seeing the distorted movements and half-hearted gestures, Li Xiao chuckled, "What’s this guy doing?"

Initially, he wanted to shake his head and leave, but then he suddenly turned on the video recording function in the magic remains.

"I’ll send this to Gongshu Jin and the rest for a laugh at what this clown is doing."

Moments later, the video Li Xiao took appeared in a small group chat with Gongshu Jin and others.

Ying Xin: Is that... Zhang Yu? What is he doing? Dancing?

Someone said: It’s a basic cultivation technique, I’ve seen him practicing, seems he’s been working on basic techniques for more than half a month now.

Ying Xin: Even the basic techniques have gone so wrong? Just how poor is this guy’s martial arts talent?

Someone laughed: No wonder he has to practice basic techniques.

Seeing everyone in the group mocking Zhang Yu, Li Xiao felt more exuberant and joined in, feeling that he now belonged to the circle.

Meanwhile, Gongshu Jin raised his brow slightly as he watched the video.

"I originally thought Zhang Yu, despite having a year ahead in Foundation Establishment, was already very low in aptitude."

"But I didn’t expect him to be this bad."

"Being this bad and still attending Wanfa University..."

Gongshu Jin suddenly found it a bit frightening.

Seeing the comments in the group, he immediately stopped everyone and warned, "In my group, we will no longer discuss anything about Zhang Yu."

Seeing everyone stop mocking, Gongshu Jin didn’t dwell on them any longer but thought to himself, "No wonder they want to reform the first floor, if even someone like Zhang Yu can make it, the first floor’s selection system is clearly broken."

"Although Zhang Yu’s aptitude is incredibly pathetic, even a wealthy family should give up, who on earth is fostering him?"

On the other hand, Li Xiao saw Gongshu Jin’s message, clenched his fist slightly, with a trace of unwillingness on his face.

Despite his rapid progress over the past half month, far surpassing Zhang Yu, Gongshu Jin’s attitude towards Zhang Yu and him was worlds apart.

"Just wait, I will continue to improve and leave Zhang Yu far behind."

In the following days, Li Xiao continued to cultivate alongside Gongshu Jin and others, continuously spending his spirit coins, and his strength kept rising as well.

Every day when the ranking updates at dawn, Li Xiao is the first to refresh it.

This day, when he saw his ranking rise to 10th place, he let out a long sigh of relief, a look of excitement appearing on his face.

Scrolling down, he couldn’t help but laugh when he saw Zhang Yu had dropped to 19th place.

...

125th floor, outside the dormitory door.

Zhang Yu took a deep breath and looked at his Chain Technique Map.

Upper Level - University Sacred Body (8/8): Enhancements in food digestion, absorption, and metabolism abilities have reached the peak of Qi Refinement

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Eight foundational cultivation techniques, finally the University Sacred Body is developed to the second level."

"But in this broken university city, these food digestion abilities, aside from eating some jerky given by Azhen, are temporarily useless."

Zhang Yu shook his head, stopped thinking more, and turned to practice the ninth foundational cultivation technique again.

As for the ranking? Now he focuses on cultivating foundational techniques, and the data in each aspect hasn’t increased at all.

After all, he practices foundational methods only aiming at speed, not quality, and the effects of Level 10 and Level 20 foundational techniques are negligible.

Zhang Yu thought, "This ranking is bound to plummet, so what’s the point of looking at it."

Thus, over the next four days, Zhang Yu diligently pursued cultivation, pushing the last two foundational techniques to Level 10 in one go.

At this point, the University Sacred Body was finally completed, and it had been more than twenty days since the first lesson at Wanfa University.

Ultimate - University Sacred Body (10/10): All Foundation Establishment techniques, cultivation efficiency increased by 2 times, cultivation effects increased by 2 times.

Seeing this ultimate University Sacred Body effect, Zhang Yu took a deep breath, a wave of excitement surging in his heart.

He thought to himself, "As expected, just like the High School Sacred Body, the University Sacred Body can also improve the cultivation efficiency and effects of Foundation Establishment techniques."

"With this University Sacred Body, how fast will my growth speed in university be? How formidable?"

At this moment, Zhang Yu felt incredibly grateful that he hadn’t wasted time practicing other things or spending money on various immortal services, and focused single-mindedly on completing this University Sacred Body first.

"After finishing the University Sacred Body, what should I cultivate next?"

Information about the university that he had collected over these days flipped through his mind, and he quickly formed a plan.

"First, focus on enhancing mana."

Mana is the foundation of the Immortal Path, and even more so the economic foundation.

"With high mana, not only is the power of techniques greater, but the excess mana can also be sold for spirit coins."

"In the process of improving mana, I could also improve the quality of my mana, which would help Le Mulan develop the Dao Seed in the future and replicate her Deep Frost Mana Vein."

"How can I enhance mana the fastest?"

Zhang Yu looked at his Yu Shu.

"The advantage of the University Sacred Body is that I can cultivate techniques faster, and the effects brought by the techniques are stronger."

"To utilize this, I need to practice stronger breathing cultivation techniques, and also..."

Zhang Yu’s gaze swept across the first Chapter of the Chain Technique Map and lingered on Bi Vortex Qi Gong.

This is the only Foundation Establishment breathing cultivation technique he has mastered.

When his gaze lingered on this technique, he could immediately see its set on the Chain Technique Map: Qi Vein Flow

"This set seems... it should be very helpful for increasing mana, right?"

Then, Zhang Yu’s vision opened the grand library, listing one expert-level breathing cultivation technique after another for the Foundation Establishment stage.

Looking at his discounts, Zhang Yu chuckled to himself, "Just right, I can exchange expert-level techniques at the grand library with a 40% discount, perfectly suited to my advantage."

Zhang Yu’s gaze swept over the introductions of each breathing cultivation technique, listing the techniques belonging to Qi Vein Flow one by one.

"Besides the set effects, there is also the breathing cultivation technique itself... I also need more types to cooperate with me."

"Ones that can operate automatically 24-hours, like the Circulation Qi Gathering Method."

"Ones that can better enhance mana quality."

"Techniques dedicated to mana recovery speed, convenient for selling mana in the future..."

According to all these requirements, Zhang Yu bookmarked each breathing cultivation technique.

The first expert-level breathing technique Zhang Yu decided to purchase is called ’Mixed Element Fetal Breathing Scripture’, which replaces breathing with respiration. Once cultivated, it continually breathes spiritual mechanism in and out, refining mana at all times.

"First cultivate this technique, maintaining a 24-hour daily mana refinement."

Then he looked at the price of Mixed Element Fetal Breathing Scripture: "Original price 1 spirit coin, with a 40% discount, it’s 0.6 spirit coins."

Zhang Yu checked his current spirit coin balance.

During this time, apart from daily meals and purchasing foundational techniques, he saved money every day without daring to spend much. Currently, he still has a total of 12.3 spirit coins.

"Fortunately... fortunately, I didn’t waste money."

Buying the Mixed Element Fetal Breathing Scripture, rows of words and images immediately appeared in Zhang Yu’s vision.

He sat cross-legged and began to cultivate this breathing technique according to the energy operation route displayed in his vision.
