Chapter 671: Holy Body Completed, Saturation Upgrade (Two Chapters Combined into One, 6600+)

Sensing the somewhat depressed mood, the Magnetic Pole Divine Lord encouraged, "These rebellious cultivators on the second floor are nothing but minor ailments. You are no longer over a hundred years old. If you look back at history, you will understand that these unorganized, undisciplined cultivators who only knew how to kill and burn were long since eliminated by history."

"It's just a temporary revival now, caused by someone's deception. It's nothing more than suppressing them once again."

Hearing what Divine Lord Magnetism said, True Lord Xianyin of the Weapon Refining Department immediately agreed, "Divine Lord is right. The bandit-like cultivation and development model has long been eliminated. There is nothing to fear at all."

No matter what the Yuanyings thought in their hearts, they all expressed their agreement at this moment.

Xianyin Zhenjun continued, "Supplies are in urgent need, logistics are cut off, and banditry is rampant everywhere. Huge quantities of supplies are being consumed every minute and every second in the university city. The school's finances are tight. We must act immediately to prevent the order on campus from being disrupted."

"However, although it is not difficult to wipe out these wild cultivators on the second floor, it is troublesome and tedious. After the Divine Lord breaks through, he needs to practice in seclusion. The specific tasks will be handed over to everyone."

Many Yuanyings nodded and said, "It should be so."

Everyone understood that the bandits sweeping the second floor were just the appetizer, and the future decisive battle with the army sweeping in from the fifth floor would be the real crisis.

As the God of Transformation with the highest combat power, his most important task at present is to consolidate his cultivation after the breakthrough and improve his combat power as much as possible.

If the gods lose sight of the main goal and do not focus on improving their cultivation, but instead rush around and put out fires, then no matter how much advantage they have accumulated in the early stages, it will all be meaningless if they are defeated in the final battle with the enemy gods.

In addition, going out to sweep away the wild cultivators is also quite beneficial to the Yuanying Zhenjun present.

After all, the ground is now full of smoke of war and wild cultivators are emerging in large numbers. It is the time for Yuanying Zhenjun to take advantage of the situation and reap the benefits.

Especially without the supervision of the righteous gods, this is not only bad for them.

"As the saying goes, misfortune often lies behind blessings, and blessings often lie behind misfortunes." Xianyin Zhenjun thought to himself, "I'm afraid that corruption will become rampant in the second level in the future, and every Yuanying who goes out to raid will want to eat a mouthful of grease."

At the same time, a map projection appeared in front of everyone.

Director Gao pointed to the areas on the map and said, "Now, outside of the university town, many external campuses have lost contact and are overrun with wild cultivators. We need to recapture and clear them one by one."

Everyone present knew that these campuses belonged to Wanfa University's external territories, including various factories, warehouses, laboratories, logistics nodes and even subordinate schools, etc. In the past, they were like organs, supplying nutrients to Wanfa University at all times.

Just then, a figure stood out.

True Lord Xianyin narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, "True Lord Qingming of the Taoist School."

He knew that this True Lord Qing Ming was the director of the Taoism Department. If anyone other than Ji Ji was the most qualified to obtain the Divine Transformation Certificate, it should be this True Lord who ranked at the top of the Yuanying realm in the entire university community.

However, because of his close relationship with Dao Qiankun, True Lord Qingming was implicated this time. Neither the Heavenly Court nor the Magnetic Pole granted him the qualification certificate for becoming a god.

At this moment, Qing Ming Zhenjun said in a firm tone: "Principal, I am willing to lead the Taoist students to clear the Southeast 12th Road campus and ensure that logistics are restored within two months."

After saying that, he pointed with his finger and marked an area on the map.

Upon hearing this, the Magnetic God's eyes moved and he said lightly, "Okay."

Director Gao, standing by, looked at True Lord Qingming and thought to himself, "Is he trying to perform well and win the last Divine Transformation Certificate?"

The Heavenly Court has granted Wanfa University a total of five certificates of transformation into a god. Now four of them have been used, and the remaining one has become a hot commodity in the eyes of Yuanying Zhenjun.

As True Lord Qingming said this, True Lord Xianyin immediately stood up and marked an area on the map.

"Principal, if you give me 500 spirit coins, I will recapture the nine southwestern campuses and transport all the supplies back within a month."

A smile appeared on the originally indifferent face of the Magnetic Pole Divine Lord, and he smiled at the String Sound Divine Lord and said, "Not bad."

Taihe Zhenjun from the Investment Management Office gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing to lead the management office to wipe out the bandits in the northwest for the school and maintain logistics. No funding is required."

After hearing these words, many Yuanying looked at Taihe Zhenjun in shock.

Ci Ji's junior fellow disciple, Lei Ji Zhenjun, applauded and said, "Tai He Zhenjun is willing to work for the school for free and help the principal during such a difficult time. I think he has reached the state of a spirit..."

As Yuanying Zhenjuns stepped forward one after another, the areas on the map were quickly divided out.

But at the last moment, True Lord Qingming shouted softly, "I will lead my disciples into this attack. Not only do I not need any funding from the school, I am also willing to fund the restoration of lost territory and rebuild the logistics network."

In an instant, the murderous gazes of many Nascent Souls were instantly locked on True Lord Qingming.

The Magnetic God said with a touched look on his face, "Great! In times of crisis, heroes are always there. You are all heroes. You just raised so many difficulties and troubles, and now they have been solved one by one, haven't they?"

"Especially True Lord Qingming. If everyone in the entire Wanfa University was as responsible as True Lord Qingming, why would we worry about losing land and not being able to recover it? The fifth floor will not be broken?"

After assigning the task of suppressing bandits, everyone moved on to the next question.

A Yuanying Zhenjun was heard saying, "That blood moon in the sky is constantly producing followers of the demonic cult and evil gods, causing a huge increase in governance costs and logistics costs..."

The Magnetic God Lord said decisively: "There is currently an enemy Divine Transformation Master stationed on the Blood Moon. Wait until I have consolidated my Divine Transformation cultivation before we make any further moves."

Lei Ji Zhenjun continued, "To fight against the fifth-level army, we must break through the spatial blockade. I suggest that Zhang Yu be promoted to a graduate student immediately and assigned a laboratory to help him quickly achieve results from the immortal sect's skills."

"Although the process is not in accordance with the rules, in times of crisis, special measures must be taken."

The Magnetic God nodded in agreement.

Some of the other True Lords present supported it, while some disagreed.

True Lord Qing Ming thought to himself, "There are only two or three years left. Even if we invest more in Zhang Yu, what can a newly-breakthrough Jindan cultivator like him learn from the immortal sect's techniques in two or three years?"

However, after taking a look at the Magnetic God above him, he didn't say anything in the end.

In the eyes of True Lord Qingming, this was just Ci Ji asking for benefits for his disciples. He was foolish enough to speak out to stop it, which brought bad luck to the new principal.

So when he saw that Lord Magnetic Pole was also applying for funding for a graduate student like Zhang Yu, Lord Qingming frowned in his heart, but still showed no expression on his face.

…

"Graduate student?"

“That’s really fast.”

Zhang Yu looked at the notification that appeared in front of his eyes and sighed in his heart.

At this moment, he had been approved by the school to graduate from undergraduate studies and became a graduate student in the Equipment Refining Department of Wanfa University. His supervisor was naturally still the Magnetic God.

However, according to the normal procedure, he, as a graduate student, should go to the third-floor campus in Kunxu to study and live, but now, due to the great changes in the world, he can only continue to stay on the second floor.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu thought of Mo Enjin again. "Mo Enjin had already made it to the 3rd floor to get into graduate school. If he hadn't given up on it and wanted to retake the Equipment Refining Department, he wouldn't have come back. He just happened to avoid being blocked and stayed on the 2nd floor."

After becoming a graduate student, Zhang Yu's treatment naturally improved. The school also arranged a laboratory of his own for him, so he no longer had to rent Ye Xingli's laboratory.

In addition, there are relevant graduate courses and communication with your supervisor.

Magnetic God: You should understand that I definitely don’t have time to teach you now

Magnetic God: I have sent you all the teaching materials. If you have any questions, please go to the String Sound God and he will give you guidance.

Magnet God: But there is no rush for refining weapons. Your main task now is to practice "Kunlun in the Palm" and practice this immortal technique to level 30 as soon as possible.

Magnetic God: In the next war, how much effect your "Kunlun in the Palm" can play will be the key point.

Looking at the message from the Magnetic Pole God, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "How can level 30 be enough? If others knew, they would think I'm not talented enough. I need to cultivate to level 40 at least!"

Zhang Yu, who has become a graduate student, now has only one goal in mind.

"I want to reach Nascent Soul! Push Kunlun in my palm to level 40!"

In order to reach the Nascent Soul stage, Zhang Yu knew that the first requirement was numerical values. He had to raise his Dao Heart to level 30, his physical strength to level 30.00, and his mana to 10,000 units.

So when faced with the funds that the Magnetic God Lord had applied for him, Zhang Yu had already planned to invest most of it in his own cultivation.

A moment later, Zhang Yu took over the new laboratory with assistants including Liu Xiangqiao, Zi Yunzhen, and Su Yunni.

The assistants were excited about the more ample space and more advanced equipment.

Zhang Yu said, "I plan to rent out most of the space and equipment in this laboratory."

"My next focus will be on my own cultivation. Refining equipment will not be my primary goal for the time being. You can stay and continue to help me with some basic work while I wait for the future to restart the equipment refining project."

Many assistants looked at each other, and Liu Xiangqiao said, "I'm willing to stay."

Upon hearing this, Zi Yunzhen, Su Yunni and others also expressed their willingness to stay.

Zhang Yu nodded when he heard this and contacted Ye Xingli, asking her to help him rent a laboratory.

Then he continued to practice with full concentration.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

…

Early December.

In Zhang Yu's bedroom, various magical weapons and Taoist techniques surrounded him, some injecting medicinal power into his body, some transforming into lightning and fire to temper his flesh and blood, and some helping him recover his magic power...

There were also several Taoist teachers who were constantly casting Taoist spells at him to enhance his mental power, increase his movement speed, and restore his physical strength...

What's more, the Dragon and Tiger Medicine with huge side effects from the laboratory of the School of Pharmacy is now running wildly in Zhang Yu's body.

At the same time, the Jindan realm's Canniu Shexin Shenbody Jue and the Infinite Heart Dharma Body roared repeatedly in Zhang Yu's mind, driving his Dao heart to continue to grow.

Zhang Yu still remembers the first time he saw Taoist magic services during his freshman year. The charges of 0.03 or even 0.09 spirit coins per hour made him reluctant to use them.

At that time, he thought that if he used it every day, it would cost dozens of spirit coins a month, which was an unbelievable luxury.

Nowadays, Taoist magic services in the Jindan stage are more expensive, but Zhang Yu hired several people and subscribed to them on a monthly basis.

When combined with various other magic weapons and medicines, the effect it brings is also amazing.

During this month, Canniushe's Body and Mind Technique and Wuliangxininner Dharmakaya successively broke through the Golden Elixir Realm, and his Dao Heart also broke through from level 22 (78.56%) to level 23 (27.88%).

As his body-refining skills were directly pushed to level 30, his physical strength also continued to increase, and now it has risen from the original level 23.46 to level 24.45.

At the same time, his magic power was circulating in his body, and the level 30 Golden Elixir Breathing Method was also effective at all times, which was constantly increasing his magic power.

This was because the 24-hour uninterrupted Taoist blessing made Zhang Yu's movements faster. He completed the practice of 10 body-building exercises earlier than expected, and then pushed a passive breathing method to level 30.

So after the mana increased continuously in the past few days, it also reached 2935.

In just one month, Zhang Yu felt that his basic data was close to the middle stage of Jindan.

The greater gain was that his Golden Core Holy Body had broken through three levels and was completely completed.

Primary - Golden Core Holy Body (6/6): The Dao base can be increased by one level. After switching to the Chain Method Set, this level is still effective.

Advanced - Golden Elixir Holy Body (8/8): An additional Qijing can be opened. After switching to the Chain Diagram Set, this level is still effective.

Ultimate - Golden Core Holy Body (10/10): All Golden Core techniques, practice efficiency increased by 2 times, practice effect increased by 2 times

"Huh..." Zhang Yu let out a breath. The more he looked at the Golden Elixir Holy Body, the more satisfied he felt.

"The effects of the first and second layers are still effective even after switching to the chain diagram. This has truly increased my ceiling."

"The last level gave me higher cultivation efficiency."

Zhang Yu knew that his cultivation speed would soar again and reach a new level.

In addition to the above improvements, Zhang Yu's body has established two top-level Taoist foundations, Vajra Subduing Demons and Wind and Thunder Without Form, with each injection of medicine. The former increases damage reduction, and the latter increases the body's resistance to shock waves and thunder.

Zhang Yu’s thinking was very clear. The physical body must be able to resist and survive, ensuring safety at all times. As for output, it can be left to the magic skeleton, magic weapons, formations and the like to solve.

Especially on the second floor of Kunxu where one cannot be resurrected after death, safety becomes even more important.

Therefore, his plan is to develop all 12+1 heavy Dao bases in the direction of defense in the future.

"My training from now on will focus on my physical body. I'll first push my physical strength to level 30, and then I'll reach the peak of the Golden Core!"

But Zhang Yu understood that such a luxurious practice as the one he had been doing in the past month would cost him a lot of spirit coins. The 24-hour monthly Taoist service alone had cost him several hundred spirit coins.

Although other supplies are much cheaper than Taoist services, their prices are increasing every day.

"Based on my progress since obtaining the Golden Core Saint Body, it will take about three months to raise my physical strength to level 30. However, if prices continue to rise like this, I estimate that my current funds and savings will be almost gone by then."

Price increase!

Thinking of these two words, Zhang Yu couldn't help but frown.

At this moment, a message popped up in Zhang Yu's eyes. It was a photo sent by Le Mulan.

There was a long queue outside the School of Pharmacy, all of whom were students who had come early to buy medicine.

With the shortage of material supply and the decline in drug production, everyone in the university town can only buy medicine in limited quantities.

Even so, there are still long queues outside medicine stores every day, and every time the salesperson announces that the medicine is sold out, there are often fierce complaints from the back of the queue.

Of course, relying on his status as a second-generation student in the school, Zhang Yu naturally does not have to queue and can buy medicine through the back door.

Le Mulan has been running errands for him frequently recently, and in the process, she can also obtain some medicines for her cultivation.

Le Mulan: Drug prices have risen again

Zhang Yu sighed. Even though he had connections with the second generation of the school, there were too many people with connections in the university town. The price of the drugs he could get kept rising, and the quantity was gradually decreasing.

A moment later, Feng Tingting sent another message to Zhang Yu: Senior, have you heard? Someone died in the lower level of the university town again. It seems that the conflict broke out in the fight for supplies. Two Qi Refiners started fighting.

Feng Tingting: I heard that some people are already selling demon slaves out there. Things are really getting more and more chaotic. Do you have any news?

Zhang Yu sighed. Although he could now connect to the spiritual world during the day, a lot of information was blocked by the school's top management. He was now concentrating on practicing, and if he didn't deliberately try to understand it, he wouldn't know much about the situation in the outside world.

"Is it getting more and more chaotic?" Zhang Yu thought of the college teachers who had looted the factory before.

Soon after, someone else found Zhang Yu, hoping to communicate with the Magnetic God.

Zhang Yu has encountered many similar examples in the past month, all of whom hope to get close to the Magnetic God through him.

But now the four gods in the university town are all in seclusion, immersed in cultivation, and consuming large amounts of materials to promote their cultivation in the realm of transformation. They will not reply to messages unless it is necessary. Naturally, Zhang Yu will not disturb his master who has achieved the state of transformation.

While scanning the news in the spiritual world, Zhang Yu saw someone in the comment section saying that True Lord Qingming had recovered many campuses in the southeast and rebuilt the logistics network, and prices would definitely not rise again soon.

Some people praised Qingming Zhenjun and thought that he should become a deity, but some people immediately jumped out and said that if he became a deity, he would not work, and he would definitely practice in seclusion and compete with the people for profit, and prices would then soar even more.

Zhang Yu wanted to check again, but found that the messages were gone.

He thought to himself, "Sigh, with the lack of external input, supplies are already in short supply. Add to that the four newly transformed gods who need to cultivate, and the many newly breakthrough Yuanying, Jindan, and Foundation Establishment cultivators who also need to cultivate, how can prices not skyrocket?"

"Master Ci Ji left behind a certificate of transformation, I'm afraid he had this in mind. Otherwise, if five Transformation Gods were practicing together in the university town, it might really collapse."

A few days later, Zhang Yu unexpectedly received news from Su Yanyang again.

"You want to come to my company for an interview?"

At this moment, Su Yanyang was full of energy and no longer looked lazy. He seemed to have returned to his previous state.

Su Yanyang said, "The prices are rising too fast. If I don't work, I won't be able to live happily."

He sighed and said, "When I was completely broke, I realized that money was more important than I thought."

"Don't worry, I've completely changed my ways and passed the weekend virus test. After I come to your company, I will work hard and will not fall behind."

Su Yanyang's own company had gone bankrupt a long time ago, and because the gap between jobs was quite long, it was already difficult for him to find a job, but he happened to encounter the most difficult job season at present.

As the supply of materials decreased, many factories reduced production and workers were laid off, resulting in an oversupply of talent.

Then, a large number of cultivators obtained their certificates and made breakthroughs. There was even a situation where new Nascent Soul cultivators competed for Golden Core, new Golden Core cultivators competed for Foundation Establishment, and new Foundation Establishment cultivators competed for Qi Refining.

Even during the economic crisis when the gods fought each other last time, finding a job was not this difficult.

Under such circumstances, after Su Yanyang ran into obstacles everywhere, he finally had no choice but to come to Zhang Yu to try.

After experiencing the ups and downs of life, Su Yanyang's mentality at this moment seems to be completely different from the past. He no longer has the arrogance of the past, is less rebellious, and more calm.

Zhang Yu scanned the other person's resume, met his gaze, and finally nodded. "You're welcome to join us, but let me make it clear in advance: if you show signs of a relapse of your weekend sickness, I'll have no choice but to send you on your way. I have to be responsible for my other colleagues."

Su Yanyang had already prepared himself for rejection, but was taken aback when he heard this. After taking a deep breath, he slowly said, "Zhang Yu... Thank you. Thank you for helping me."

Even when Su Yanyang was the richest, he never had any friends, and even became sworn enemies with his teammate Shi Huaiyu because of a kidney.

However, he didn't expect that when he was in the most difficult time, the junior student in front of him, who had already left him far behind, would lend him a helping hand.

Zhang Yu continued, "You understand my company's current business, right? It's a bit dangerous."

Su Yanyang nodded: "I know, he is going on a business trip to rebuild the outer campus and logistics network."

As the outer campuses were recaptured one by one, various places damaged by unlicensed monks needed to be repaired and put back into production.

As a result, the civil engineering industry ushered in an unprecedented boom, and a large number of civil engineering students came out in droves to work outside for a long time.

It even caused Yu Xinghan to temporarily leave the health care industry and join the construction site.

Zhang Yu's company naturally took on many projects thanks to its deep relationship with the Civil Engineering Department.

With the issuance of various certificates, Shi Huaiyu also obtained a military certificate and was able to openly display the magical power of Tian Kunlun to move mountains and lead a team to work outside.

Yu Xinghan, relying on his newly achieved Jindan realm, led another construction team to grab a lot of work, and was also able to provide a certain level of protection with his Jindan realm.

Thinking of Yu Xinghan, Zhang Yu thought of the other party's three-eyed magical power.

"The fourth level of the Three-Eyed Divine Ability requires helping Yu Xinghan reach 8,000 mana, so we have to take it slowly."

In addition, Zhang Yu originally wanted to invite Master Xinghuo to join his company, but was rejected by the other party.

The other party took Li Xuelian into the wilderness and disappeared since then, and no one knew where they went.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Could he be a bandit too?"

He shook his head and suppressed the random guesses in his mind.

After accepting Su Yanyang, Zhang Yu glanced at the remaining several thousand resumes and thought to himself, "I can't accept so many people."

Considering the large number of unemployed people gathered in the university town, Zhang Yu could understand why there were more and more crimes in the university town recently.

Recalling the murder case Feng Tingting had mentioned before, Zhang Yu thought that such incidents would probably become more and more frequent in the future. After all, soul cultivators could complete some monitoring tasks, but they could not stop and punish cultivators at any time.

"According to my sister..."

A few days later, Zhang Yu received a message from Zhang Pianpian and thought to himself, as expected.

"The security forces below the 300th floor of the university town have been reduced because the input to maintain the security forces below the 300th floor is not as high as the output, and there is no profit."

"Now, the upper and lower 300th floors have completely become the difference between the rich and the poor, and the security environment is very different."

Looking at the other messages sent by his sister, Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh.

However, he did not expect that with the disappearance of the righteous gods, the talisman technology has become more and more popular after several updates to adapt to the environment. Like the civil engineering and security departments, it has become one of the few industries that are growing against the trend.

"It's not hard to imagine that Kunxu's immortal techniques have always developed and changed with the environment. The need to suppress levels led to the creation of the Dan-shattering technique, and the desire to avoid medical expenses led to the emergence of various tactics."

"Now, as the war rages on and the righteous gods disappear, all kinds of immortal techniques will develop in new directions..."

Looking at the news about Zhang Pianpian, Zhang Yu thought of the other party's Taoist Taiqing Talisman again.

"Upgrading the Taiqing Talisman to level 3 requires 1,000 spirit coins..."
