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

Chapter 836 Zhang Yu, Bai Zhenzhen, what are you doing? (Thanks to "Just Playing Around, So What?" for the generous donation)
Feeling the yin energy sweeping across the world, Bai Zhenzhen exhaled a breath of hot air and immediately saw the fine notice for polluting yang energy.

However, Bai Zhenzhen had no time to care about these things at the moment, as she was preoccupied with figuring out the mysterious man's intentions.

What exactly does he want to do?

Ever since Bai Zhenzhen was targeted by that mysterious person, he has frequently instructed her in various sword techniques and principles, causing her swordsmanship to improve day and night, far exceeding her previous progress.

In addition, Bai Zhenzhen has also made occasional progress in the power struggles of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Especially in the last six months, the other party has promoted her to the position of Level 4 Sect Affairs Officer, allowing her to successfully break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

But the more this happened, the more uneasy Bai Zhenzhen felt.

Because she could sense the mysterious man's undisguised malice, and she had also heard of many examples in the Heavenly Sword Sect... those who were initially praised higher and higher, but ultimately fell incredibly hard.

“Those cultivators who practice the Blissful Sword Path will stop at nothing to use their power to elevate or demote a cultivator; it is an easy thing for them.”

Bai Zhenzhen sighed inwardly: "And often they do this... just to have some fun and improve their swordsmanship."

As she pondered, Bai Zhenzhen's target location appeared in her eyes: the Safety Supervision Bureau.
As an agency under the management committee, the Safety Supervision Bureau is responsible for supervising production safety, construction safety, and other related matters within the development zone.

Bai Zhenzhen pondered the mysterious person's intention in placing her in this position, and a bad feeling crept over her.

Just then, Wen Wuyai said from the side, "Zhenzhen, should we go see Zhang Yu first, or go to the Safety Supervision Bureau first?"

Wen Wuyai, a cultivator born on the 10th floor of Kunxu and a former Nascent Soul disciple, also interned at the Heavenly Sword Sect with Bai Zhenzhen for nearly a year before finally succeeding in the last sect examination.

This time, as Bai Zhenzhen's subordinate, he also came to the old cemetery.

The image of Zhang Yu appeared in Bai Zhenzhen's mind, and she couldn't help but smile. It seemed that her unease about the mysterious man had been greatly dispelled.

"Let's go see Yuko first."

A moment later, at the entrance to the labyrinth, in front of the Cave Bridge.

Bai Zhenzhen looked at Zhang Yu's figure appearing before her and couldn't help but laugh again: "Yu Zi."

Zhang Yu laughed as well, pointing to the spiritual projection above his head: Vice President of the Industrial Development Zone Management Committee
Then Zhang Yu asked, "Is he handsome?"

Looking at Zhang Yu's title, Bai Zhenzhen teased, "Vice President of the Management Committee... Which powerful figure did you latch onto this time? How did they manage to get you to this position? My dear son, you've become a father in the blink of an eye."

At the same time, Bai Zhenzhen's information about the spirit world appeared in Zhang Yu's eyes.

“Ah Zhen, your skill in currying favor is as good as ever,” Zhang Yu said. “Besides me, you should be the one who knows how to curry favor the most among the first batch of students who took the exam. You truly are my good daughter.”

Zhang Yu looked at Bai Zhenzhen in front of him and found that she was still the same as before, with a lithe and slender figure and long hair that flowed in the wind.

However, there seemed to be an unresolved sorrow between his brows.

Zhang Yu asked, "What? You look like you owe a huge sum of money and are about to kneel down and beg your father to pay it off?"

At the same time, he nodded to Wen Wuyai beside him and greeted him.

"Father!" Bai Zhenzhen immediately grasped Zhang Yu's hands tightly and said, "Let's go into your cave to talk. There are too many people here. I'll kneel down for you when we go in."

Zhang Yu didn't expect that Bai Zhenzhen would actually kneel down after he just said it casually.

He seemed to recall that day at Songyang High School in his first year of high school, with Bai Zhenzhen kneeling on the ground and hugging his leg.

"Has Ah Zhen recently accumulated a lot of debt?"

He reached out and pulled Bai Zhenzhen along, and the two of them, along with Wen Wuyai who was following behind, crossed the Immortal Cave Heaven together.

As they crossed the bridge to the cave and looked at the vast world that appeared before them, both Bai Zhenzhen and Wen Wuyai showed a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Especially recently, as Zhang Yu has been absorbing a large amount of celestial power from the berserk corpses every day, the entire Immortal Celestial ...

At the same time, the two could also sense that the connection to the spirit world had been severed.

This is because Zhang Yu's Immortal Grotto-heaven is not yet connected to the Spirit Realm.

Feeling the complete disconnection of the spirit world and the changing spatial structure around her, Bai Zhenzhen breathed a slight sigh of relief.

However, for safety's sake, she still communicated with Zhang Yu in her mind through the power of the evil god.

"Don't worry, your mother doesn't have any debts. It's just that... I've recently been targeted by a high-ranking member of the Heavenly Sword Sect... I feel like this guy will use all sorts of methods to monitor me."

Bai Zhenzhen briefly explained the situation and why she had been contacting Zhang Yu less and less remotely lately.

Because they fear that mysterious beings will discover their secrets, they rarely engage in in-depth communication through the spirit world.

However, since Zhang Yu had been in the small realm of the old graveyard these days, the two were in different spaces and it was difficult for them to communicate through the power of the evil god.

The same applies to the exchange of immortal spiritual roots. In addition, Bai Zhenzhen was afraid that the teleportation would cause too much noise and attract the attention of the mysterious person, so she did not even ask Zhang Yu to temporarily leave the old graveyard to exchange spiritual roots.

Listening to Bai Zhenzhen's story, Zhang Yu couldn't help but frown: "What is the background of this mysterious person? Zhenzhen, do you know?"

Bai Zhenzhen shook her head: "All I know is that this person holds a high position in the Heavenly Sword Sect, and even my appointment to work in the development zone was arranged by him. His strength and power are probably extraordinary."

Listening to Bai Zhenzhen's story, Fu Ji was already analyzing it in Zhang Yu's mind: "This mysterious person said he wanted to have some fun. Could it be that he wanted to help Bai Zhenzhen soar to great heights, then crush and trample her to death, enjoying the thrill of manipulating life?"

Zhan Xian said, "Those madmen from the Heavenly Sword Sect are already tired of this kind of pleasure. It's rare to encounter someone who has mastered the old version of the Extreme Passion Sword Dao, so I think they will naturally start from this aspect."

"Perhaps they want to deepen our relationship with Bai Zhenzhen, and then after taking Bai Zhenzhen away, they want to humiliate her severely and let her experience the emotional torment that is extremely rare in the sect."

Upon hearing this, Kao Zong's clone snorted coldly and scoffed, "Absurd! How could a master of the Heavenly Sword Sect care about the filthy feelings of people from the lower realms? If he doesn't care, how can he derive pleasure from destruction?"

Fuki asked, "So what do you think?"

Kao Zong's clone said, "I'm not a master of the Heavenly Sword Sect. How could I possibly fathom the ingenious ideas in their minds?"

At the same time, Bai Zhenzhen waved to Wen Wuyai and said, "I'm going to have a private chat with Zhang Yu. Wuyai, you wait for me here."

After saying that, two beams of divine light shot into the sky, and Bai Zhenzhen and Zhang Yu had arrived at a deserted place.

The next moment, Bai Zhenzhen had already wrapped her arms around Zhang Yu from behind, trying to align herself with the spiritual root while anxiously saying, "Yu Zi, I'm coming in."

It has been a long time since they nourished their immortal spiritual roots, nor have they exchanged them to stimulate and adapt to each other, thus improving their strength.

Bai Zhenzhen, who was determined to reach the pinnacle of immortality, couldn't wait to see Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu said, "Now that you're in the Immortal's Cave, you don't have to worry about being discovered. You can teleport directly and exchange items remotely, without the hassle of the past."

Bai Zhenzhen advised, "That's too rough. I feel it's better to proceed slowly, as it will allow the spiritual root to adapt and be nourished more effectively."

Zhang Yu asked doubtfully, "Really?"

Bai Zhenzhen said, "My spiritual root is definitely more sensitive than yours! Trust me, you won't go wrong."

After a moment, Bai Zhenzhen took a deep breath and said, "Yu Zi, it's been so long since you changed... You've changed so much, it feels like it's taking me a while to get used to it. If I go out now and someone sees me, I'm sure they'll notice something's off very quickly."

Zhang Yu nodded, feeling the unique sensation spreading wildly from his immortal spiritual root, and said, "No rush, let's take it slow. I'm the vice president of the management committee now, no one can disturb us."

"If anyone asks where you've been for so long, just say I was looking for you in a meeting."

At the same time, Zhang Yu looked at the [Azure Lotus Sword Embryo] on the Dao Seed Manual and thought to himself, "To upgrade A-Zhen's [Azure Lotus Sword Embryo] to level 5, it is necessary to nourish 30 level 50 cultivation techniques."

"Perfect timing. I've cultivated quite a few Nascent Soul cultivation techniques over the past six months, which I can use to nourish this Immortal Spirit Root one by one."

"This [Azure Lotus Sword Embryo] is already a celestial spiritual root. I wonder what it will become if it continues to improve."

……

At the same time, a streak of light swept across the sky above the old graveyard, stirring up countless pieces of information from the spirit world and instantly causing tension among a large number of soul cultivators.

"What is that? Is it a magic shuttle?"

"Is it Vice President Zhang's magic shuttle?"

"It doesn't seem like it... it's an even more potent one."

Inside the celestial shuttle, Bu Yingshu was resting her chin on her hand, frowning as she looked at the contact list that appeared before her eyes, and sent another message to Zhang Yu.

"Where did Zhang Yu go? Why didn't you reply to my messages? Why didn't you come to pick me up?"

Bu Yingshu knew that the reason Zhang Yu didn't come to pick her up was because she hadn't informed him in advance that she was coming.

But Bu Yingshu was unwilling to notify the other party in advance. After all, the thought of her taking the initiative to come and discuss investment with Zhang Yu already made Bu Yingshu feel a little unhappy.

"If I have to communicate with him in advance, wouldn't it be like I'm making an appointment with him or asking for his permission?"

Does anyone need to make an appointment in advance to go to their cat's or dog's kennel?
It's certain that as soon as their owner arrives, the cats and dogs will happily surround them, turn over, and let their owner do whatever they want.

Bu Yingshu felt that this was the proper way for masters and pets to get along.

So she decided to come whenever she wanted, and contact the other party directly to pick him up once she arrived.

Recalling her previous meetings with Zhang Yu, Bu Yingshu thought to herself, "Logically speaking, this stinky pet should be completely under my control and obedient to me. Why wouldn't he hurry up and greet me when he knows I'm here?"

Recalling that Zhang Yu hadn't contacted her during this period, Bu Yingshu's eyes narrowed little by little: "If he's not doing well, it means that this stinky brat has indeed developed some disloyal intentions since becoming the vice president."

Looking at the profile picture that hadn't replied yet, Bu Yingshu's brows furrowed even more.

She glanced through the information about the spirit world and then drove the celestial shuttle directly to the place where corpses were registered.

With the arrival of the fairy shuttle, the queue that was originally waiting and registering on site immediately turned into chaos.

"The magic shuttle is here!"

"Watch out! Don't get hit! We can't afford to pay for it!"

"Don't look! Don't take pictures! Run!"

Seeing the numerous cultivators scatter like birds and beasts, Bu Yingshu didn't take it seriously.

Looking at the rows of information about the on-site personnel that appeared in the celestial shuttle, she directly drove the shuttle in front of Shi Huaiyu and Feng Tingting, and the outsourced cultivators who had been maintaining a transparent state also became visible.

Feeling the oppressive aura emanating from the celestial shuttle and seeing the countless warnings from the spirit world appearing before them, Shi Huaiyu and Feng Tingting, who had already knelt down with a thud and closed their eyes to await their death, decided to die.

Bu Yingshu asked, "Where is Zhang Yu? Tell him to come see me immediately."

Hearing Bu Yingshu's question, Feng Tingting felt a surge of joy at escaping death and quickly replied, "Vice President Zhang should have stayed in the Immortal Cave Heaven. Since the Spirit Realm is not covered there, he is sometimes slow to reply to messages."

Bu Yingshu nodded, but then frowned slightly, thinking to herself, "This reason is indeed valid, but... is this really not just a way to appease me?"

Bu Yingshu wanted to see if Zhang Yu had truly not received her message, or if he had received it but had neglected her.

The magic shuttle trembled slightly, engulfing Shi Huaiyu and Feng Tingting.

"You two, come with me into the cave to find him."

The next moment, the celestial shuttle flashed, like a bolt of lightning, and rushed towards the nearby Cave Heaven Bridge in the blink of an eye.

This bridge to the grotto was set up by Zhang Yu and has always been open to the public for collecting corpses daily.

At that moment, the celestial shuttle sprinted forward and passed through the grotto bridge, directly entering Zhang Yu's immortal grotto.

The moment the celestial shuttle entered the Immortal Cave Heaven, a terrifying wave surged from within its body, sweeping across the entire cave heaven space and reaching every corner.

"Is he really in the Immortal's Cave? That's why he didn't receive my message."

Bu Yingshu's brows relaxed slightly after checking the scan results, but her gaze sharpened the next moment: "People from the Heavenly Sword Sect? Why are their coordinates so close to Zhang Yu's?"

When Bu Yingshu mentioned the name Tianjian Sect, a strong sense of disgust seemed to rise in his eyes.

The next instant, there seemed to be a buzzing sound in the air.

The magic shuttle disappeared in an instant and reappeared in an instant, stopping directly above Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen's heads.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the celestial shuttle, Bai Zhenzhen was startled and subconsciously released Zhang Yu from her arms. Her whole body surged with sword energy, and she blocked his way.

Zhang Yu, on the other side, reacted quickly and immediately guessed that the fairy shuttle in front of him most likely belonged to Bu Yingshu.

Fearing that Bai Zhenzhen might offend the other party, he immediately pulled her behind him and said, "Lord Bu Dao, what brings you here? If I had known you were coming, I would have canceled everything to welcome you."

Listening to Zhang Yu's words and looking at the celestial shuttle in front of her, Bai Zhenzhen thought to herself, "Has Zhang Yu always been with such a dangerous woman?"

Through the power of the evil god, she said to Zhang Yu, "Yu Zi, didn't you say you had completely controlled Bu Ying Shu? This doesn't seem like it."

Bu Yingshu was fairly satisfied with Zhang Yu's attitude, but looking at the Tianjian Sect cultivators beside her, she still asked in confusion, "What are you doing? Xian Suo told me that there are traces of each other's magical power within your bodies."

"This immortal shuttle can even see this?" Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback, thinking to himself, "I absolutely cannot mention the exchange of spiritual roots."

Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen exchanged a glance, and Bai Zhenzhen said, "I'm the new director of the Safety Supervision Bureau. I've come to see Vice President Zhang for guidance, and to... cultivate with him!"

Bai Zhenzhen understood that compared to exchanging immortal spiritual roots, dual cultivation between superiors and subordinates was a perfectly normal and proper thing within the Wanfa Sect and within the sect's hierarchy.

Bu Yingshu said with a sigh, "I see. It's quite normal for Zhang Yu to send troops outwards for the sake of the sect."

Just when Bu Yingshu thought everything was normal, she suddenly looked at the detection report sent by Xiansuo and her brows furrowed again.

"No, you guys from the Heavenly Sword Sect have been completely sterilized."

"They weren't practicing dual cultivation, so what were they doing? Why did they lie to me?"

Bu Yingshu asked coldly, "Zhang Yu, were you really just practicing dual cultivation just now?"

Zhang Yu nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, Daoist Lord, after Bai Zhenzhen and I entered the cave heaven, we came here to cultivate together until you just arrived..."

Seeing Zhang Yu's admitting it, Bu Yingshu sneered inwardly: "Still lying to me? In front of me, colluding with an outsider from the Heavenly Sword Sect to swindle me? This little bastard has some nerve!"

Bu Yingshu took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, and continued, "How did you two meet?"

Knowing that he couldn't hide his and Bai Zhenzhen's past, Zhang Yu immediately said, "A-Zhen and I are old classmates who climbed up from the first level of Kunxu together. It's been a long time since we've seen each other, so let's cultivate together for a bit..."

"You climbed up from the first floor together?" Upon hearing this, Bu Yingshu looked at Bai Zhenzhen with a hint of disgust, feeling that her little pet had been corrupted by this stray dog ​​that had climbed up from below.

Tired of listening to Zhang Yu's nonsense any longer, Bu Yingshu said directly, "Since you're cultivating together, do you have any monitoring logs? Monitoring videos? Show me how you're cultivating together?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu's heart sank: "What's going on? Normally, he should have been able to brush off Bu Yingshu with just a few words."

"Why is she so fixated on this now?"

"Did she sense something was wrong?"

But Zhang Yu was asked to hand over the video, which he naturally couldn't do. He could only smile bitterly and say, "Daojun, we didn't turn on the surveillance just now."

"Still lying to me?!" Bu Yingshu looked at Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen in front of him, and a murderous intent gradually rose in his heart. The murder evidence behind him appeared intermittently.

Bu Yingshu sneered, "That's fine too. Now, in front of me, you two can practice dual cultivation together again and show me."

Upon hearing this, alarm bells rang in both Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen's hearts.

Zhang Yu: "Oh no, has this guy really discovered something?"

Bai Zhenzhen: "Yu Zi... this is completely different from the work environment you described before. Are you being toyed with and repeatedly humiliated by Bu Yingshu until now?"

Seeing their hesitant expressions, Bu Yingshu said indifferently, "What's wrong? Is it not okay? Zhang Yu, do you not know how to fix it? Or are you unable to fix it?"

A sense of helplessness welled up in Zhang Yu's heart: "Unless absolutely necessary, we must not become enemies with Bu Yingshu."

He communicated with Bai Zhenzhen through their minds, saying, "Zhenzhen, I'll try my best to meet her request."

Bai Zhenzhen replied, "Tell me, what should we do?"

The next moment, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen pressed their palms together and began to transfer their magical power to each other.

Bu Yingshu said calmly, "Continue."

Zhang Yu said, "Daojun, this is how we cultivate together."

Bu Yingshu was slightly taken aback, and her first thought was that Zhang Yu was playing a trick on her.

Is this considered dual cultivation? So, if I stepped on Zhang Yu's feet a few times before and touched his hands and head, does that mean that counts as dual cultivation with me, coming from his mouth?
But then she realized that although no one in the sect practiced dual cultivation like this anymore, in ancient times, this method of exchanging magical power into each other's bodies was indeed defined as a form of dual cultivation.

Considering the test report provided by Xiansuo, Bu Yingshu couldn't help but believe it a little more.

"Could it be that Zhang Yu wasn't lying to me? Are they really just practicing dual cultivation?"

Thinking of this, Bu Yingshu's anger subsided slightly.
