Seeing Zhang Yu's indifferent attitude towards money, Zhou Chechen knew that this guy must have a big appetite this time.

"Father and uncles will definitely have to bleed a lot to satisfy that Sixth-Rank True God."

"But Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, who are the parties involved... also need to be dealt with."

Although Zhou Chechen had anticipated this, the thought that he not only had to apologize to Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, but also had to give them a piece of his own flesh made him feel suffocated.

He never imagined that two penniless bastards, whom he had seen as nothing more than ants a year ago and whom he could easily force to sign contracts, would grow to this level in less than a year.

"Is this the power of having Sixth-Rank True God backing you up?"

Zhou Chechen suddenly remembered some secrets his father had told him. It was said that the truly wealthy people there had their Bloodline Descendants carefully crafted so that they would own shares in the company from the moment they were born, becoming shareholders and becoming believers of Faith Level 5 from birth.

He sighed inwardly, "In this world, it all comes down to background. The Zhou Family is still too weak."

Zhou Chechen shook his head slightly, trying his best to shake off the distracting thoughts and frustration in his heart, and continued to speak gently to Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen: "I know that no amount of money can make up for the emotional trauma you two have suffered this time."

"I'm willing to give each of you 500,000 yuan as a token of my appreciation..."

Zhang Yu waved his hand and said, "I told you, this isn't about money."

Bai Zhenzhen chimed in coldly, "Do you think having money means you can do whatever you want and break the law?"

Zhou Chechen wanted to slam his hand on the table and shout, "What else?"

But when he thought about the company's shutdown due to the lockdown, the losses incurred every minute because of the shutdown, his father's repeated admonitions, and the Lineage resources he had consumed since childhood... Zhou Chechen's proud neck finally broke.

He bowed again and said, "I'm sorry, gentlemen, I really didn't mean to bribe you with money."

"This 500,000—no, I'm giving each of you 1 million—is just to express my apology; I don't need you to make any further statements."

At this point, Zhou Chechen, feeling incredibly aggrieved, suddenly kicked Yue Jincheng hard in the chest again, coldly saying, "Take a good look at how much trouble your outburst has caused Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen."

"Bring me both of your phones."

Upon hearing this, Yue Jincheng and Si Zhouyu's faces twitched, and they struggled to hand over their phones.

Zhou Chechen took the two men's phones and said, "Today, I'll make the decision that they each pay 500,000 yuan to express their apologies."

Upon hearing this, Yue Jincheng and Si Zhouyu, who were standing to the side, both froze, feeling as if their hearts were bleeding.

Si Zhouyu's gaze towards Yue Jincheng was filled with resentment, and she regretted even more that she hadn't been able to stop him back then.

Zhang Yu Yu's heart skipped a beat. Zhou Chechen's 1 million, plus the 500,000 from these two, would mean that he and Bai Zhenzhen would each receive 1.5 million, for a total of 3 million.

Although he was already looking forward to how he would use the cash, Zhang Yu remained outwardly calm, coldly watching Zhou Chechen as if he had absolutely no interest in the 1.5 million.

Zhou Chechen continued, "I know I've caused you two to lose a lot of cultivation time. I'll find a way to make it up to you as soon as I return to school..."

According to Zhou Chechen, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen were not required to abide by the school's rules and could arrange their own class schedules as they pleased.

Not only can he freely enter and leave General Knowledge Class like math and language arts, but he can even skip Martial Dao arts, physical education, Daoist Arts Class, and Magical Power Class without any problem. Zhang Yu Yu's after-school Dao Arts tutoring was also directly canceled...

In addition, they will be given priority access to all kinds of school benefits.

For example, they receive three doses of medicine every day during physical education class; the school provides them with 100 hours of free access to their Spirit Root each month; they can also request any Martial Dao instructor to spar with them for a certain amount of time free of charge; in addition, they have access to the Spirit Realm training at the school...

Although she knew that Zhou Chechen was using the school's resources to offer benefits, Bai Zhenzhen still felt a surge of excitement when she heard that she could get one-on-one tutoring from Martial Dao teacher.

She thought to herself, "If I can spar with those Martial Dao teachers at the Qi Refining Peak every day before fighting Yun Jing, it will definitely help me improve my combat power."

When Zhang Yu heard about the free Spirit Root borrowing for 100 hours per month, as well as the qualification for the Spirit Realm training, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

For Zhang Yu, who has no Spirit Root roots, the blessings of various Spirit Root are something he can never have too much of.

For Zhang Yu, whose Dao Heart is currently lagging behind, training in the Spirit Realm is exactly what he needs.

The fact that these things are now being offered for free is especially appealing to Zhang Yu, who is currently penniless.

Zhang Yu said calmly, "Are you sure you want all of this provided for free? Until I graduate?"

Faced with Zhang Yu's questioning, Zhou Chechen naturally assured him that these resources, though expensive to outsiders, were simply a matter of allocating existing resources within the school itself.

As Songyang High School is a school under the Wanxing Group, Zhou Chechen, with the support of the Zhou Family, can naturally interfere with the allocation of resources within it.

He thought to himself, "Since the spare Spirit Root are just sitting there anyway, I might as well lend them all to those two for free."

"As for the Spirit Domain, we'll have to reluctantly give up Lan Ling spots."

"The teachers are easy enough; just schedule a few more lessons for them to guide Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen," Zhang Yu said. "Just hearing your promises isn't enough; let's sign a contract."

Zhou Chechen was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected that he would be the one being pressured to sign a contract by Zhang Yu Zhang Yu, whereas before he had failed.

He forced a smile and said, "No problem."

Just then, Fu Ji reminded him, "Haven't you always wanted to learn more Cultivation Method? Make him hand over all the Cultivation Method that Songyang High School has the authority to teach."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu's eyes lit up, and he quickly made the request.

He knew that many Expert-level Cultivation Method at Songyang High School were only awarded to outstanding students in the second semester of the second year of high school, and even in the third year.

Not to mention that these Expert-level Cultivation Method can enhance his strength, he remembered that when he was learning Basic Cultivation Method, he also looked at other Copyright Cultivation Method held by the school, some of which could be used to light up the Chain Law Diagram and form a set effect for him.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "I remember one of them can be used to form Martial Dao Sacred Embryo, and another can be used to form the All Dragons Bloodline."

Zhou Chechen nodded and said, "No problem, you can learn whatever you want, whether it's the Cultivation Method textbooks for the first, second, or third year of high school."

Fu Ji further reminded her, "You need to specify what kind of Spirit Root Spirit Root you have. It won't be long before you and Bai Zhenzhen reach the Qi Refining Peak in terms of both magical power and physical strength, and many Spirit Root will become useless to you."

"Especially if he tries to fob you off with a lower-level Spirit Root, then it will be completely useless against you."

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

Hearing Zhang Yu's request once again, Zhou Chechen reluctantly listed all the Heaven-grade Spirit Root in the school for Zhang Yu to choose from and then write into the contract.

Zhou Chechen explained, "The most famous, most useful, and most valuable thing at our Songyang High School is undoubtedly the Yuanyang Spiritual Root."

"The Yuanyang Spiritual Root can refine the Yuanyang Essence Qi within a virgin's body into magical power, and its effect on enhancing magical power is very powerful..."

Upon hearing the suggestion of increasing mana, Zhang Yu lost interest, since his mana was already close to 100 points.

In particular, he recalled that this so-called Yuanyang Spiritual Root had been passed down in Songyang High School for nearly twenty years. Through the handling of generations of predecessors, it had been imbued with the Yuanyang Essence Qi of tens of thousands of students.

The remaining Heavenly Spiritual Root were all primarily for enhancing magical power and Physical Strength. Zhang Yu looked them over but was not entirely satisfied, and said, "Is that all?"

Zhou Chechen gritted his teeth and had no choice but to say, "My Lineage has some Heavenly Spiritual Root that we usually rent out to our members. See if any of them interest you."

"Of course, it's also 100 hours of free use per month."

Looking at the list that Zhou Chechen provided, Zhang Yu's eyes lit up immediately, discovering that they were all rare Spirit Root.

Zhang Yu: "What's this Death Spirit Root used for?"

Zhou Chechen replied, "The ability to absorb the death energy from the dead is specifically used to cultivate our Zhou Family's inherited Cultivation Method. To fully utilize the effects of this ' Death Spirit Root,' it's best to have a large number of corpses on hand, and the older the corpses, the better."

Zhang Yu then asked, "What is this Winter Spirit Root?"

Zhou Chechen replied, "It can absorb freezing air and change its Movement Method attributes, but it needs to be used in conjunction with Low-Temperature Freezing Chamber."

Zhang Yu looked through all these Heavenly Spiritual Root one by one, and finally chose one...

"This Grievance Spirit Root is quite interesting."

Zhang Yu's choice of this Grievance Spirit Root was naturally for a reason, because he clearly remembered that among the Cultivation Method needed to form the ' Martial Dao Sacred Embryo ', there was a relatively inexpensive Expert Level Grievance Fiend Art that only cost 500,000.

The reason it is cheaper than other Cultivation Method in the Martial Dao Sacred Embryo is that this Cultivation Method requires refining Grievance Qi to Grievance Qi the Body Tempering.

Because the skill has a very high barrier to entry, fewer and fewer people are practicing it, and the price of the Cultivation Method has been declining all the way down to the present day.

Zhou Chechen said, "This Grievance Spirit Root is Spirit Root that extracts the resentment of the dead; it's useless to ordinary cultivators."

Fu Ji said, "Heh heh, this kid's feeling sorry for you. This Grievance Spirit Root isn't just for extracting the resentment of the dead; he's just kidding you."

Zhang Yu glanced at Zhou Chechen and said indifferently, "How come I remember that the Grievance Spirit Root can also be used to extract the resentment of the living?"

"When it comes to the resentment of the dead, how could it possibly outweigh the resentment of the living?"

"Especially high schools and companies, these are probably some of the places in the world with the most resentment, right?"

Zhou Chechen was surprised that Zhang Yu knew about the Grievance Spirit Root. He nodded helplessly and said, "I had forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it."

"However, if you want to cultivate Grievance Qi at school, there will be a fee."

"Huh?" Zhang Yu asked in surprise, "You have to pay for this?"

Zhou Chechen reminded them, "You may have forgotten, but the contract that every student signs before entering the school includes a detailed clause stipulating that, theoretically, the school has the first right to dispose of any resources generated within the school due to cultivation, such as resentment, death energy, and excrement."

"Of course, I can have the school waive this fee for you, as an apology to both of you."
