Zhang Yu Discusses a Plan, Secrets of the Orthodox Gods (Thanks to "Rap Concert Chief Sign-Language Interpreter" for the Alliance Leader Reward)
Shortly after the Second Round Foundation Establishment Exam concluded.
The 1st and Layer 5 of Immortal Capital.
Standing in front of the building's floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the Central Yunhai Park in front of him, Ye Lingxiao said to the other end of the phone, "Yes, that Dao Dissolution Sustained Release Capsule is very interesting."
"I can't disclose the specifics, but if the opportunity arises... I think it would be worthwhile to have the lab analyze it; I'd be willing to participate in related research..."
After discussing with his Lineage elders on the other end of the phone for more than ten minutes, Ye Lingxiao suddenly brought up another matter.
"Uncle, there's something else I'd like you to look into."
"Are there any companies in other cities Kunxu First Layer that have developed technologies related to Drug Metabolism?"
"Characteristics?" Ye Lingxiao recalled Zhang Yu's performance in the Foundation Establishment Exam, and without revealing any information about the Foundation Establishment Exam, carefully said, "In short, it can greatly enhance the user's Drug Metabolism ability."
"Thank you for your help."
On the train.
Yu Xinghan was sending a message to Li Xuelian: Senior Sister.
Li Xuelian: Purpose, Time, Cost
Looking at the funding application form sent by the other party, Yu Xinghan felt his fists harden again, thinking to himself, "I'll teach you a lesson when I get back to Red Pagoda."
He typed on his phone and replied, "I want to get some extra lessons from Zhang Yu. I feel like I can learn a lot from him."
Li Xuelian: Zhang Yu? Isn't his grade dropping drastically? If you get too close to him, won't he ruin you?
Yu Xinghan frowned, looking somewhat troubled.
He can't mention the content of the Foundation Establishment Exam; how can he persuade Li Xuelian?
I can't exactly say that he and Zhang Yu are friends because they sell seeds together, that they know each other inside and out, and that Yu Zi wouldn't harm me.
But just as Yu Xinghan hesitated, Li Xuelian suddenly replied understandingly, "Alright, if you want him to tutor you, then go ahead."
Yu Xinghan's eyes flickered, and he thought to himself, "Could it be that Senior Sister guessed it? Of course, this is the time when I'm going to take the Foundation Establishment Exam. My sudden request must have made her guess that it's related to the Foundation Establishment Exam."
Yu Xinghan knew that even Orthodox God couldn't possibly find out about a process where someone accidentally guessed the exam information, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
That's why it's necessary to exert some kind of deterrence before and after signing the contract.
It can be said that what truly ensured the safety of the examinees was not the contract, but the power of the Orthodox God and the determination of the Heavenly Court.
"Senior sister is truly incredibly intelligent."
Yu Xinghan quickly replied: Zhang Yu has raised the price to 50,000, 50,000 per hour.
Li Xuelian: So expensive? Wasn't it only 15,000 before?
Yu Xinghan: Can that be the same as now?
After a long silence, Li Xuelian finally replied, "Have him add me, and I'll talk to him personally."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xinghan cursed inwardly, "Did they quote too high?"
After thinking for a moment, he quickly replied: I pleaded with him, and he agreed to lower the price to 30,000 yuan per hour out of consideration for me.
Seeing that Li Xuelian had finally given up and started discussing class schedules with him, Yu Xinghan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen were already on the train back home.
Bai Zhenzhen sighed, "The gap between me and Top Immortal Capital Master is still quite large."
Recalling Yun Jing's strength on the arena, Bai Zhenzhen subconsciously clenched her fist.
At first, she thought the other person was just mindlessly using force to intimidate her, and that there was a kind of aesthetic appeal in using money to crush someone.
After careful analysis, Bai Zhenzhen realized that things might not be so simple.
"He's targeting me."
"After discovering that I was good at high-speed close combat, they used a wide-range, powerful move to push me off the ring."
"This is how he used the arena environment to completely suppress my high-speed fighting style with space and power, preventing me from exerting any advantage and forcing me to compete with him in strength."
"This guy isn't just powerful and rich; he also knows how to fight by exploiting his opponent's weaknesses."
Thinking of this, Bai Zhenzhen's expression grew even more serious. "To defeat that guy in three months, not only do I need to continue improving my physical stats, but I also need to learn a few Powerful Techniques to practice my deductions."
Bai Zhenzhen sighed, "After calculating, it seems like we'll need to spend at least a few million more."
Zhang Yu, standing to the side, nodded in deep agreement. Comparing himself to Ye Lingxiao, he thought to himself, "In the remaining three months, I must push my Dao Heart, Magic Power, and Physical Strength to the Qi Refining Limit."
"There are also Cultivation Method that need to be learned."
"Ideally, I could gather another complete set of Chain Law Diagram, and they would have to be even more powerful than the High School Sacred Body." Zhang Yu knew that Feather Scroll's Chain Law Diagram could only be dragged into ten Cultivation Method, and a set of techniques required six Cultivation Method to take effect, and ten Cultivation Method to achieve the ultimate effect. This meant that at the same time, the Chain Law Diagram could only be effective for one set.
Therefore, if it's not a set of armor stronger than the High School Sacred Body set, then it's meaningless to Zhang Yu.
"The sets I can see so far, including Heavenly Martial Battle Heart, Great Saint Successor, Martial Dao Sacred Embryo, and All Dragons Bloodline, seem to be stronger than the High School Sacred Body."
"However, I haven't been able to find all ten Cultivation Method yet, including the Heavenly Martial Battle Heart and the Great Saint Successor."
"So the only things I can accomplish are the Martial Dao Sacred Embryo or the All Dragons Bloodline."
Thinking about all the Cultivation Method required for those two sets of equipment, Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
He doesn't need to worry about not being able to keep up with the learning. With the blessing of the High School Sacred Body's triple cultivation effect, he can stretch the next three months into nine months of cultivation.
Zhang Yu's worry was the same as Bai Zhenzhen's... it was money.
"Over the next three months, it will take at least several million to have any chance of defeating Ye Lingxiao, and even tens of millions would be a safer bet."
For truly wealthy people like Ye Lingxiao and Yun Jing, the cost of cultivation is nothing, and might even be considered frugal.
The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!
But for poor people like Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, that was a huge number they never dared to dream of before.
Seemingly having heard Bai Zhenzhen and Zhang Yu's sighs, Fu Ji, upon waking up, said in their minds, "Ordinary part-time jobs won't be enough to cover your cultivation expenses."
"We've exhausted all the money we can borrow and the loans we can get."
"Now, your only remaining option is to continue your work in the Dark Tutoring World."
"It just so happens that your strength has improved rapidly these days, and with my guidance, even if you get involved in gang warfare, the danger won't be too great."
To avoid being overheard on the train, Bai Zhenzhen typed a reply on her phone, "But I'm worried that after we get back, the Zhou Family will continue to send people to follow us."
"If we continue to be monitored, we won't be able to operate in the tutoring industry at all."
Bai Zhenzhen remembered the Zhou Hao she encountered when she went to find Zhou Chechen last time, the one who had repelled her.
According to the other party, Zhou Hao is a college graduate from the 72 Lower Schools, and is definitely at the Qi Refining Peak.
Based on Bai Zhenzhen's several subtle probing attempts while delivering takeout, it was discovered that the person who later followed and monitored her was also very capable, probably on par with Zhou Hao.
Bai Zhenzhen: "These people are quite strong, and they have various tracking methods. It won't be easy to shake them off; in fact, it will only alert them."
Zhang Yu typed back, "So it's not just about shaking them off, but about finding a way to completely get rid of them, at least to make the Zhou Family temporarily give up their 24-hour surveillance of us."
Bai Zhenzhen: "Do you have a solution?"
Zhang Yu looked at his newly added friend, Wandering God Deng Bingding.
Zhang Yu realized that the key to breaking this deadlock might lie with this Orthodox God.
The Zhou Family will never know that they have made the acquaintance of such a Orthodox God, so it is crucial to make good use of this information gap.
However, he was still not very clear about many aspects of the Orthodox God, but fortunately, there was a senior Evil God like Fu Ji right in front of him.
Zhang Yu immediately told Fu Ji and Bai Zhenzhen about adding a Orthodox God as a friend, and planned to discuss with them how to deal with the Zhou Family's surveillance.
Upon hearing this, Fu Ji laughed and said, "Oh? A sixth-rank Wandering God directions?"
"That certainly warrants careful planning."
"If we can make good use of this Orthodox God's power, it will be enough to make the Zhou Family suffer a great loss, leaving them no time to deal with the two of you."
Bai Zhenzhen: "The Orthodox God aren't easy to manipulate, are they? Could it be that they're going to use this exam as a pretext? But judging from the Zhou Family's reaction last time, they know how complicated things are and won't fall for it easily."
Although Bai Zhenzhen didn't mention the Foundation Establishment Exam, Fu Ji and Zhang Yu naturally understood what she meant.
Judging from the fact that the Zhou Family did not send anyone to follow them when they left the city last time, the other party knew about the Foundation Establishment Exam and was wary of being easily fooled.
Fu Ji chuckled and continued to transmit her thoughts to the two of them, "Therefore, there's no need to lure the Zhou Family into investigating the Foundation Establishment Exam. We just need to give this sixth-rank wandering deity a chance to intervene in this matter."
"Do you know why the gods of Kunxu are so greedy for money?"
Zhang Yu had long been curious about this, and immediately asked, "Why?"
Fu Ji said, "Naturally, it's because the Eight Divine Departments all need money if they want to improve their rating, increase their Divine Power, or refine their Talisman Arts."
Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen were both surprised to hear this. They hadn't expected that even Orthodox God had to spend money to advance their ranks. Wasn't this the same as mortals using Talisman Arts?
Fu Ji continued, "Making money, or rather, reclaiming wealth from all of Kunxu, is a major mission of all Orthodox God."
Fu Ji sighed, "From this perspective, the Ten Great Sects are indeed far-sighted; they're not just forcing you all to climb the ranks."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu's eyes showed a thoughtful expression, while Bai Zhenzhen frowned and asked, "What exactly do you mean?"
Fu Ji sighed, "Back then, after the Ten Great Sects unified the Kunxu Thirty-Six Layers and wiped out all those who resisted, they deeply felt the difficulty of managing Kunxu. Therefore, they created the Eight Divine Departments and formed a group of Orthodox God to manage the world for them..."
