Fu Ji Upgraded, Passing into the Second Layer

Upon hearing Fu Ji's voice in his mind, Zhang Yu was first startled, then overjoyed, thinking to himself, "You're finally awake."

Fu Ji, however, seemed to have heard Zhang Yu's thoughts directly, and replied, "Yes, he's awake."

"Looks like I slept for a bit too long."

Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then thought to himself, "You can sense my thoughts?"

Fu Ji smiled and said, "Relax, it's not mind reading."

"But now I can communicate with believers on a spiritual level."

Not only can my voice reach your mind, but I can also sense the thoughts you want to convey to me. From now on, you won't need to type on your phone to communicate with me in public anymore!

After all, I gained a lot this time, and I've recovered from being Level 1 Low-level Evil God to a Level 2 Evil God!

"Hehe, the Eight Departments also call this level of Evil God ' Wandering Evil Shadow '!"

Zhang Yu tried to ask telepathically, "Why have you been asleep for so long this time?"

Fu Ji said, "Wasn't it because the process of catching my colleague in the act was too rushed?"

"It took me a lot of effort to capture him, and I fought him for a long time before I finally managed to defeat him!"

Then, while digesting and recovering, it took a very long time before I finally woke up!

"But at least I've recovered to the rank of a Level 2 Evil God, hehe... Now I don't have to hide from the Orthodox God by falling asleep all the time anymore, and most of the time I don't have to worry about being discovered!"

Zhang Yu nodded slightly, then asked a crucial question, "Can this further enhance my potential?"

Fu Ji didn't speak, but Zhang Yu felt an eerie power surging from the Black Pearl that Fu Ji had transformed into, flowing down his arm, shoulder, neck... and finally rushing into his sea of consciousness!

In an instant, Zhang Yu felt a slight pain in his palm!

He opened his palm and saw a transparent symbol generated within it!

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Just like the symbol classes that appeared when Feather Scroll first appeared and were later upgraded and the Chain Law Diagram was opened, they've only become more complex!"

However, this time the transparent symbols were not quickly filled in like when the Chain Law Diagram was upgraded last time. Instead, they were slowly filled in with black, just like when the Feather Scroll first appeared!

Zhang Yu estimated in his mind. "It will probably take three or four days to completely fill it!"

"It's estimated that only then will a new chapter be opened for Yu."

Bookstore!

After enhancing Zhang Yu's potential, Fu Ji asked, "Where's Bai Zhenzhen? I helped her enhance her too... Speaking of which, what are you doing on the Flying Boat? Where are you going?"

Then Zhang Yu recounted what had happened while Fu Ji was asleep!

Upon hearing that Bai Zhenzhen had awakened her Divine Spiritual Root and been taken to Heaven Sword University to become a disciple of the Seven Emotions Divine Lord, Fu Ji was startled. She thought to herself, "Hmm? Heaven Sword University... could it be..."

Is A-Zhen about to be refined into Divine Spiritual Root Flying Sword?

"Sigh, I advised Zhang Yu to dig out the True Spirit Root for himself a long time ago. Now someone else has intercepted it, and he's definitely missed out on his investment."

However, it might not be Divine Spiritual Root Flying Sword. After all, her Spirit Root can evolve. If I were an investor, I would have to cultivate it to Immortal Spiritual Root, and then refine the person and the root together in an instant!

"Moreover, taking in a disciple with Divine Spiritual Root can bolster our reputation; who knows, it might attract other poor souls with Spirit Root to join us."

"And then they popped up?"

"Damn it, thinking about it that way makes it even more of a loss!"

Although Fu Ji was unfamiliar with the background of this Seven Emotions Divine Lord, could there be any good people among the Nascent Soul cultivators in Kunxu? It would be better to make a vow to Fu Ji than to believe in the Deity Transformation Divine Lord!

Even though she was lamenting inwardly and felt she had suffered a terrible loss, Fu Ji dared not voice her thoughts in front of Zhang Yu.

In her opinion, even if Zhang Yu knew, it wouldn't make a difference; it would only hinder his cultivation!

"Luckily, when I analyzed Wang Yin's self-destruction of his Foundation Establishment cultivation with him last time, I only told him that the Spirit Root Spirit Root would be destroyed after the connection was severed after Foundation Establishment, but I didn't tell him about the whole thing being cooked together!"

"Hmph, Spark True Person didn't say anything more, it seems he also understands that this matter shouldn't be discussed further!"

The thought flashed through her mind in an instant, and Fu Ji exclaimed with a smile, "Great news! Great news!"

"A-Zhen has struck it lucky! She's caught the eye of a Nascent Soul stage monster. Her cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds in the future!"

"Zhang Yu, you need to hurry up and catch up too!"

"Otherwise, you won't be able to get into their social circles in the future. When you send them holiday greetings, they won't even reply!"

Zhang Yu curled his lip, thinking to himself, "A-Zhen isn't that kind of person!"

"Besides, there's no need for us to send each other holiday greetings!"

"Just let me know if there's anything you need!"

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "On the first floor, for security reasons, Heaven Sword University doesn't allow anyone to contact A-Zhen!"

"But once we get to the Layer 2, I should be able to contact her!"

"After all A-Zhen said she would come to find me then."

Just then, Xiong Wenwu's loud shout came from ahead, "How long are you going to suppress me? This is discrimination against Demon Descendant!"

The worker pressing down on him sneered, his muscles shifting, revealing a patch of leopard spots!

Then the other person said, "Discrimination against Demon Descendant? I am Demon Descendant myself, how could I discriminate against Demon Descendant?"

"Let me tell you, I discriminate against everyone on your floor!"

After saying that, he pointed to his eyes, then to everyone present, and warned, "Remember, I'll be watching you closely from now on. You'd better not have any ulterior motives, or you'll be caught if you try to smuggle anything you shouldn't!"

Amidst this commotion, Le Mulan, Qian Shen, Song Hailong, and the others silently watched this scene unfold!

Some people scored in the top ten, some scored in the 36 Upper Schools), some scored in the 72 Lower Schools), and some planned to go to Junior College and ride the Flying Boat to the Ascension Platform together!

But now, standing before the staff, they all share the same identity—a member of the same social class!

Of course, this excludes Soul Cultivator like Zhao Tianxing, because he and other Soul Cultivator were in the checked baggage!

Yu Xinghan, watching this scene, clenched his fists tightly, a hint of resentment appearing in his eyes!

Zhang Yu patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Hanzi, don't get agitated. Didn't Old Deng say that's how people up there are? They look at the people coming down here like they're beggars!"

If we just bear with it and work hard for a while... until we can pretend to be Second Layer local well enough that no one can tell we're from Level 1, then we won't be discriminated against anymore!

"I know everything you're saying!"

Yu Xinghan said, "I'm not excited, I'm afraid..."

He touched his stomach and said, "Do you think I should take out all the Synthetic Food hidden in my rectum?"

"You son of a bitch!" Zhang Yu quickly moved several meters away from the other person. "If you're going to die, don't drag me down with you! Didn't Master tell you there are limits on the amount of food you can bring?"

Yu Xinghan said helplessly, "I just wanted to bring more so I could save more money when I went up, and take a few more steps on the path to Immortal Dao in the future."

"Didn't you hear Master said? A cup of water up here is worth many days' worth of living expenses down here!"

Besides, I hid it in my rectum. Even if they find out, I'll just say I like to eat and swallow food whole without opening the packaging...

"Forget it, I'll just take it out and eat it now!" Yu Xinghan said, but still shook her head without much confidence.

Not long after Yu Xinghan left, Le Mulan came over again and greeted Zhang Yu, "Want to go eat? I heard that the food on the Flying Boat is all in the style of the Second Layer restaurants. Shall we try it together?"

Zhang Yu asked, "Is it expensive? Can we use a single layer of currency?"

Le Mulan said, "I've checked it out. Although it's Second Layer restaurant, it uses the same ingredients as the first-floor restaurants and accepts first-floor currency!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yu felt relieved and followed Le Mulan to the restaurant on the Flying Boat, but he was a little stunned when he saw the menu!

"The medicine bag is doubled in strength... the Medicinal Triple Vigor, Gazing Needle..."

Even Zhang Yu, who had eaten his fair share of local delicacies, was somewhat astonished at this moment. "This is all medicine! Where did the food come from?!"

Just then, Li Xuelian walked over and sat down beside them, casually saying, "The food industry on the 2nd, 3rd, and Layer 4 has long been squeezed out by the pharmaceutical industry. Most people eat medicine, and only the wealthy can afford to eat vegetables! Oasis doesn't sell much food here!"

"After all, most people eat to quickly replenish their physical strength, energy, magic power, and nutrition, and to improve their concentration and excitement so that they can complete their work and studies. Poor people at most eat some cement to suppress their excessive digestive power!"

Le Mulan nodded upon hearing this, "In comparison, ordinary food is no match for medicine, so it's only natural that it's eliminated!"

Li Xuelian smiled slightly upon hearing this and glanced at her, "I heard you're applying to Ten Thousand Laws University for pharmacology? Looks like you've already studied the situation on the Layer 2? Well, your Le Family does have seniors on the Layer 2!"

Fu Ji asked in surprise, "Li Xuelian is also going to the Second Layer with you?"

Zhang Yu explained to Fu Ji in his mind, "It seems that Li Xuelian originally had a job upstairs, but she volunteered to go to the first floor to accompany Spark True Person to train his disciples!"

Fu Ji thought to herself, "It seems Li Xuelian is doing quite well, managing to arrange things so efficiently! Or perhaps Spark True Person ultimately left behind some connections that she has inherited?"

Li Xuelian asked Zhang Yu, "Where's Yu Xinghan? I can't find him."

Zhang Yu said helplessly, "He went to the toilet!"

Just then, an announcement came over the Flying Boat's loudspeaker that they were about to arrive at the Ascension Platform and that customs registration and currency exchange services would begin!

Zhang Yu Le Mulan quickly ate their meal and followed Li Xuelian to the designated location to start queuing. They then disembarked from the Flying Boat and arrived at the Ascension Platform!

The Ascension Platform is a huge palace floating in the clouds. Stepping into it means you've already entered the Second Layer level!

After completing the formalities, everyone will continue to travel to different cities on the Second Layer by different Flying Boat according to their different destinations!
