What’s the point of cultivating immortality if you don’t have money?.

Chapter 676 Taiqing Realm Level 3 (Thanks to 'Hengwu' for the Alliance Leader reward)
After Zhang Yu transferred 1000 spirit coins to Zhang Pianpian, he boarded the flying boat with many other True Lords.

Besides the four Nascent Soul corpses being divided up, Zhao Ruoli, who was in the Golden Core realm, had also been killed and her remains were divided up.

In fact, Zhao Ruoli was included when the four Nascent Soul cultivators were being divided up. However, a mere Golden Core cultivator was just an extra among the four Nascent Soul cultivators, and Qingming Zhenjun did not specifically point her out.

Before leaving, the True Lords issued a gag order, requiring everyone present not to reveal the message that True Lord Liu Jin had just sent out, namely that they could be resurrected through the Dark Spirit Realm and that Kunlun would cause losses to various schools.

But Zhang Yu and the other Nascent Soul True Monarchs all understood that this news could not be kept secret for long, and the top ten universities would likely experience another upheaval.

Looking at the fourth floor still embroiled in fierce fighting in the sky, everyone felt that since the start of the war, the rebels had been advancing triumphantly and winning victory after victory, while the top ten universities were experiencing a series of setbacks and gradually showing signs of defeat.

On the flying boat, although everyone's thoughts were stirred by what True Lord Liu Jin had said, the atmosphere among the True Lords became harmonious after the matter of dividing the money.

After speaking with the other True Lords, Qingming Zhenjun came to Zhang Yu's side.

Looking at the black curtain that covered five layers of Kunxu in the sky, Qingming Zhenjun sighed, "In chaotic times, there is both crisis and opportunity."

“If we were to kill four Nascent Soul cultivators under normal circumstances, we probably wouldn’t make any money; in fact, we would lose a lot of money.”

Zhang Yu nodded sincerely, thinking to himself, "War... there are huge profits to be made. But it has to be the winning side, or the stronger side."

Qingming Zhenjun continued, "Zhang Yu, the Magnetic Extreme God Lord also has a Nascent Soul Certificate. What do you think about this?"

Zhang Yu's heart stirred, and he casually said, "My master is wise and resourceful, and her every move is full of profound meaning. How could I possibly understand her?"

Qingming Zhenjun was not fooled by Zhang Yu's evasive answer and asked directly, "I want to ascend to the Divine Transformation realm. Anzhen Shenjun and Qiyun Shenjun both support me. What do you think?"

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "With so many people supporting you, there's no need for me, a mere Golden Core cultivator, to comment."

At this moment, Zhang Yu didn't have much thought about the Nascent Soul certification. After all, he had only just entered the Golden Core stage, and it would take him a long time to reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Now that the situation is becoming increasingly difficult, Zhang Yu doesn't think that the Nascent Soul Certificate in Master Magnet's hands will stay for so long.

However, Zhang Yu was unwilling to give a definitive answer when faced with Qingming Zhenjun's question.

After all, although he wasn't vying for the Nascent Soul Certificate, there were other Nascent Soul cultivators vying for it, and Zhang Yu was hoping that the other Nascent Soul True Monarchs would give him money.

Qingming Zhenjun then asked, "I want to ask you whether you support my ascension to godhood."

Looking at Zhang Yu in front of him, Qingming Zhenjun knew that although Zhang Yu could not play a key role in the current battle, he was not only a disciple of Ciji Shenjun, but also possessed a strategic-level immortal technique, and had a bright future. He held considerable weight in Ciji Shenjun's heart.

In Qingming Zhenjun's view, no matter who Zhang Yu supports as a Nascent Soul cultivator, it will obviously be of considerable help.

Qingming Zhenjun continued, "You helped me this time, and if you want to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in the future, I will fully support you."

Zhang Yu still didn't make a promise, but just smiled and said, "It all depends on what Master thinks. It's no use if I say anything."

Staring at Zhang Yu before him, Qingming Zhenjun thought to himself, "Still waiting for the right price? Want more?"

"I've spent almost 2000 spirit coins, and you're still not satisfied?"

"Never mind, as long as this guy doesn't object, that's fine."

Although he was secretly annoyed, Qingming Zhenjun would not stop sending money. In his view, as long as he continued to provide benefits and ensured that Zhang Yu would not cause trouble, it would be worth the investment.

After exchanging a few more words, the two parted ways. Zhang Yu also received a message from Zhang Pianpian.

Zhang Pianpian: ? ? ?

Zhang Yu: Senior, take this and spend it.
Zhang Yu: I have a good income now, enough to support you. The situation is dangerous going to be, so you'd better improve your strength quickly.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "This is a great windfall. Even if I give out these 1000, I won't run out of spirit coins and be delayed in leveling up."

He knew he had no talent for talismans and spirit world technology, and the war was becoming increasingly dangerous. Zhang Pianpian's improved strength was a great help to him, not to mention that the improvement of the Taiqing Talisman itself was also an enhancement for him.

This time, Zhang Pianpian did not refuse as she had in the past.

Just as Zhang Yu returned to his dorm and was about to continue his cultivation, Zhang Pianpian sent him a message: See you at the usual place.
Zhang Yu's heart stirred, and he immediately summoned the Yu Shu to take a look, only to find that the Taiqing Talisman had been upgraded to level 3.

"The upgrade is complete as expected."

Zhang Yu was overjoyed and immediately sensed the upgrade effect of the Taiqing Talisman. A moment later, he opened his eyes, a look of surprise in them.

He then arrived in the Taiqing Realm and, as expected, saw Zhang Pianpian sitting cross-legged in the main hall, quietly waiting for him.

Upon seeing Zhang Yu's arrival, Zhang Pianpian smiled slightly and said, "Brother, you've done me a great favor again this time."

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Sister, we siblings depend on each other for survival, which is why we have been able to make arduous progress on this path of immortality. I have always remembered the care you took for me back then."

Hearing Zhang Yu's words, Zhang Pianpian remained silent for a moment, seemingly lost in thought, before shaking her head and saying, "Come on, let me show you the changes in the Taiqing Realm."

Although Zhang Yu already had some understanding from the Dao Seed Genealogy in the Book of Feathers, he still listened patiently to Zhang Pianpian's explanation.

The two walked out of the main hall, and Zhang Yu followed Zhang Pianpian to the backyard of Taiqing Realm, where they discovered that a huge pond had appeared there at some point.

Thunderclouds rolled and lightning flickered in the pond; it wasn't water, but a pool of thunder. Looking at this thunder pool, Zhang Pianpian explained, "This pool is called the Soul-Guiding Pool; it has the effect of guiding the souls of the dead and capturing their remaining consciousness..."

According to Zhang Pianpian's introduction, this Soul-Guiding Pool can be activated in the material world to capture the remnants of the deceased souls around Zhang Yu or Zhang Pianpian.

Specifically, when someone dies within a hundred meters of Zhang Yu and Zhang Pianpian, the Soul-Guiding Pool will activate naturally, extracting a portion of the deceased's remaining consciousness from their soul.

This residual knowledge is mainly knowledge; it could be information about a certain cultivation method, a design blueprint for a magical artifact, or a certain immortal technique.

In general, the more deeply the knowledge and information is remembered in the mind of the deceased, the greater the probability of obtaining it from the Soul-Guiding Pool.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "It's like when someone dies, they can draw a lottery to get a skill book."

Zhang Pianpian remarked with some emotion, "This Soul-Guiding Pool can be activated without anyone noticing. It won't affect the transformation of soul cultivators in the spirit world, nor will it affect the reincarnation of the deceased."

"With such a Soul-Guiding Pool, one can unknowingly accumulate a large amount of knowledge about immortality and collect various schools of cultivation techniques."

"Especially in these turbulent times, the efficiency of the Soul-Guiding Pool is even higher."

"You must have heard about reincarnation, right?"

Thanks to Dao Qiankun's live broadcast of the Top Ten League awards ceremony, the news that "reincarnation exists" has now spread widely among cultivators.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I've heard some things from others. When I was choosing a cultivation method for the immortal sect, Dao Qiankun once asked me to choose the Six Paths of Evolution Book, saying that it contained the latest reincarnation technology."

Zhang Pianpian was not surprised by this. She looked at the rolling thunderous water in the pool and continued, "Since the connection with the upper spatial structure was severed, I can vaguely sense that... the reincarnation system from the 2nd to the 5th level has undergone tremendous changes. This may be the contingency plan set up by that immortal."

“Brother.” Zhang Pianpian turned to Zhang Yu and said solemnly, “The upcoming battle will likely become increasingly fierce and dangerous. My advice to you is to focus all your efforts on improving your immortal cultivation techniques.”

"The Kunlun Palm is your best protection going forward."

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Sister, you should be careful too."

Zhang Pianpian smiled and said, "Don't worry, this great battle is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me."

She thought to herself, "If it weren't for this great battle, how would I have had a chance to get rid of the Great God?"

At the same time, Zhang Yu sensed the Dao Seed information of the Taiqing Talisman and thought to himself, "To upgrade the Taiqing Talisman to level 4, I need to help my sister devour 3 to 5 divine children."

"And what is this divine child?"

Instead of asking directly, Zhang Yu decided to go back and ask Fu Ji first to see if this evil god knew anything about this.

Then Zhang Yu suddenly frowned, looked at the Thunder Pool in front of him and sighed, "Sister, even if we have this Soul-Guiding Pool and can extract a certain technique from someone else, without the copyright, it probably won't be of much use, right?"

Zhang Pianpian smiled slightly upon hearing this: "Under normal circumstances, this would indeed be troublesome."

"But now that the righteous gods are gone, and with demonic cults and evil gods eyeing us covetously, universities naturally have flexible policies to deal with the situation."

"For example, in the Wanfa system, if you obtain a non-Wanfa cultivation technique without copyright, you can clean it up before using it..."

According to Zhang Pianpian, the so-called "washing of techniques" is simply repackaging techniques without copyright and creating them as a new technique, registering it under the name of Wanfa University, and then naturally acquiring copyright.

"This is what the Heavenly Evolution God Lord is best at and most fond of doing. Many people in the Daoist arts department have also established a complete process over the years in order to cooperate with the Heavenly Evolution God Lord."

"It's just that this approach is now being used more openly and legitimately, in order to counter the evil gods' methods of providing various kinds of knowledge through open source."

Zhang Pianpian said, "If you want to cleanse any cultivation technique but find it inconvenient to do it yourself, you can leave it to me to handle."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu asked with delight, "Can military-grade martial arts techniques also be washed away?"

Zhang Pianpian shook her head: "Military-grade martial arts techniques are too technically advanced, and it's troublesome to remove them. They also involve various types of military certificates, so I don't recommend you remove them."

After finishing his conversation with his sister, Zhang Yu returned to his cultivation.

……

at the same time.

Deep within the Dark Spirit Realm.

A figure composed of clusters of colorful light appeared before the God of Happiness.

Xi Shen looked at the figure before him and said, "Xiang Shen, you have failed."

Xiang Shen said coldly, "It can't be called a failure. Although we didn't capture Zhang Yu, we gained a lot of intelligence from this operation."

Xi Shen laughed: "Judging from your attitude, it seems you're still unwilling to give up?"

Xiang Shen said, "Didn't you see the video I sent you? The strength Zhang Yu displayed this time is far beyond what one would expect from someone who has only been in the Golden Core stage for a few months."

"His progress is astonishing. If he continues to progress like this, he will probably be qualified to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in less than a year."
