As soon as Zhang Yu returned to his dormitory that day, he saw Le Mulan already waiting there.

Besides the 0.05 Spirit Coin earned that day, Le Mulan had been asking Zhang Yu to buy materials from different places, such as blood, sweat, and saliva, which earned Zhang Yu another 0.08 Spirit Coin.

However, so far, perhaps due to the short timeframe, the company has not yet derived any results from the samples provided by Zhang Yu.

The only discovery that surprised Le Mulan was that Zhang Yu's sweat was becoming increasingly pure and uncontaminated. It contained no toxins or impurities, and not even the slightest odor; it was just like cooling water used purely for heat dissipation.

She thought to herself, "After Zhang Yu entered the Foundation Establishment, his ability to metabolize and absorb drugs, as well as his control over drug toxins in his body, has become even more formidable."

"Furthermore, with the cultivation of the Boundless Spring Autumn Zen, after each dose of medicine, the toxins were almost perfectly filtered out, and then all of them were gathered and stored away."

"If someone with this skill got a job as a clinical trial participant in a pharmaceutical company, or as a filter to remove toxins from drugs, the salary would definitely be high."

Of course, Le Mulan knew that Zhang Yu would never do this kind of work.

After all, this kind of work is too damaging to the body. Even Foundation Establishment expert, under the influence of various experimental drugs, can suffer irreparable damage in just a few weeks, severing their path to Immortal Dao.

But if it's just for her own small use, at this moment, Le Mulan looked at Zhang Yu and asked seriously, "Are you sure... you can really let me eat it for free?"

Zhang Yu looked at Le Mulan in front of him and stared at the Dao Seed on her chest—the Deep Cold Magic Vein.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "To obtain Le Mulan's Dao Seed, I need to improve the Magical Power Quality. To improve the Magical Power Quality, I need to wait for her to reach Foundation Establishment."

However, in Zhang Yu's opinion, Le Mulan's chances of succeeding in the Foundation Establishment Exam in November are still somewhat low.

He didn't want to wait for the other person's next Foundation Establishment Exam.

Le Mulan took it somewhat embarrassedly and said softly, "This... if you were to sell it, it could fetch a lot of money."

Zhang Yu waved his hand and said, "We're all friends, no need for money."

Looking at Zhang Yu, Le Mulan felt a strange sensation welling up inside her.

She recalled the first time she tried to pay her opponent to lose in Martial Arts Competition in high school. The fact that her opponent didn't want the money made her feel incomprehensible and angry.

At this moment, seeing that the other party also didn't want money, Le Mulan wasn't angry at all.

Le Mulan raised the measuring cup, drank it all in one gulp, and felt the warmth of friendship flowing down her throat.

A metallic taste of blood filled her throat in that instant.

Zhang Yu watched as the other person swallowed his blood in one gulp and asked, "How do you feel?"

Le Mulan licked her lips, feeling waves of burning medicinal power spreading through her limbs and bones, and slowly said, "The medicinal effect is a bit weak, but the toxicity is almost gone. I feel like I can drink a lot more."

Zhang Yu nodded slightly. What he gave Le Mulan to drink was his own blood, the only thing he had that could improve her cultivation efficiency. Otherwise, who would have thought it was something else?

In this way, he became like a filter for Le Mulan's medicine, allowing her to take more medicine to aid her cultivation.

Furthermore, since Le Mulan has already undergone Purple Cloud's Super Metabolism Transformation Surgery, her medication levels will definitely increase dramatically, and her cultivation efficiency will also skyrocket.

Zhang Yu said, "Alright, whatever medicine you need in the future, buy me more of it. I'll take it and then give it to you, so you can take several times more to improve your cultivation efficiency."

Le Mugang nodded, looking at Zhang Yu with some excitement, and said, "Zhang Yu, thank you."

She remembered what Xuan Ge had said, took a deep breath, and said, "If you want to engage in Dual Cultivation cultivation in the future, I can give you more money."

For Le Mulan, giving the other party more money during a transaction was the only way she could think of to thank her good friend.

Zhang Yu rolled his eyes and said, "What are you thinking? Who said we were going to Dual Cultivation? Stop talking nonsense and get to class."

Le Mulan said, "Other deals are fine too. Right now, I'm a bit strapped for cash because I need to prepare for the Foundation Establishment Exam. After I Foundation Establishment, the Lineage here..."

Zhang Yu casually replied, "Alright, alright, let's talk about it after you reach Foundation Establishment."

So Zhang Yu brought over a measuring cup and continued, "I'll make you a little more. Remember to drink plenty every day, cultivate diligently, and be sure to pass the Foundation Establishment Certificate."

Afterwards, Le Mulan reminded her again, "If you're going to sell your blood, you'd better be careful..."

In response to Le Mulan's reminder, Zhang Yu simply waved his hand, indicating that he didn't have that idea at the moment.

Using the Foundation Establishment Peak metabolic ability granted by his University Sacred Body, he could at most feed a little blood to the three people in his dormitory.

As for outsiders, they have no channels, no immunization certificate, no health certificate, no business license, etc. Selling blood involves too many issues.

Moreover, selling too little won't earn him much, and selling too much would be too much for his body to handle, which would ultimately hinder his cultivation.

Besides, he now has a regular income from the construction site, so it's the perfect time for him to work hard.

At noon that day, after class, Xuan Ge walked down the corridor of the Pharmacology Department's teaching building, searching for Le Mulan.

"Where did you go?"

Upon reaching a corner, Xuan Ge spotted the other person and was about to greet them when he saw them gulp down something in one go.

Xuan Ge was slightly taken aback when he saw the empty measuring cup in the other person's hand, recalling the measuring cup that had flashed into the other person's hand a few days ago.

Xuan Ge's tiger-like body trembled repeatedly, and an idea couldn't help but well up in his mind.

Is this still Ten Thousand Laws University? Have I been sent to Joyous Union University? I'm only a freshman, I haven't even formed a team yet, and you guys have already cultivated to this level? Looking at Le Mulan's face as she turned around, Xuan Ge mustered up his courage and said what he had been holding back for a long time.

"Can I move into your dorm?"

In the days that followed, Zhang Yu became increasingly adept at his work on the construction site. He simultaneously circulated the Battle Demon Lifefall Skill and the Limitless Vibration Zen, and his body was repaired after repeated wear and tear as his flesh and blood became more active.

Especially after intense training, Zhang Yu is always able to maintain the wear and tear on his body at a recoverable level.

This made Zhang Yu feel that his body was not damaged by the long hours of working on the construction site, but instead became more and more resilient and stronger, and the efficiency of his Physical Strength improvement was even faster than when he cultivated alone.

"I can cultivate my skills and make money at the same time; the Civil Engineering Department is definitely perfect for me!"

Half a month had passed in the blink of an eye since Zhang Yu started working on the construction site. As his efficiency increased, his income also increased. In the past half month, he had earned a total of 0.59 gold coins.

However, after checking his account balance of 10.7 Spirit Coin after purchasing high-quality mana, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "I still need to work harder."

That morning, as Zhang Yu watched the first rays of sunlight gradually appear on the horizon, he reluctantly welcomed the end of his workday.

Limitless Vibration Zen Level 20 %.

The Level 20 Limitless Shock God allows Zhang Yu to perform overclocked vibrations beyond the limits, unleashing unparalleled destructive power within seconds.

It's not very useful; it can only be used to kill enemies, not for working.

Beside Zhang Yu were Li Xiao and Yu Xinghan, who were also off work.

However, compared to Zhang Yu, who was full of energy and still vigorous after working all night, Li Xiao and Yu Xinghan looked rather tired.

In particular, some of Li Xiao's muscles would occasionally twitch and ache, often making his walking movements distorted.

Yu Xinghan, on the other hand, looked even thinner, with her cheeks slightly sunken.

Reaching the construction site, Yu Xinghan sighed at the entrance, "Finally off work! Time to go for a massage."

He rubbed his arm and said, "I'm so tired every day... I have to get a massage."

Li Xiao glanced at Yu Xinghan disdainfully and sighed, "How can they save money for cultivation if they massage her like this every day?"

Zhang Yu waved to Yu Xinghan and left first. He knew that the other party did not have his recovery ability, and that massaging his body every day to Lower Cultivator the wear and tear was the Righteous Path.

Yu Xinghan walked into the massage room with practiced ease, and heard someone call out, "President Yu?"

Yu Xinghan smiled and said, "Don't forget to turn on the projection service."

As the Spirit Realm Projection was activated, a technician resembling Li Xuelian walked in. Yu Xinghan leaned against the chair and said, "Give me a foot massage first."

As Zhang Yu walked back to his dormitory, a message kept flashing before his Eye Remains.

Some teachers assign tasks in the class group chat.

There were advertisements pushed by stores from four different countries.

There are also messages that pop up in the Songyang group from time to time.

Speaking of the Songyang alumni group, three months ago when everyone had just joined the second floor, the group was very lively, and Zhang Yu could see 999+ messages every day.

However, as time went by and everyone focused on their studies, the messages in the group became less and less frequent.

But Zhang Yu would still glance at it from time to time, hoping to learn about other universities from it.

Today, a message in the group caught Zhang Yu's attention.

Chu Qiuhe from Vajra University: Have you noticed that many graduate programs have reduced or even stopped enrolling students?

Zhao Tianxing from Fengdu University: You guys are already paying attention to postgraduate entrance exams so early?

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "That guy Old Zhao... Junior College is Junior College, but why does he have to follow Mo Tianyi's example and call it Fengdu University? Is he just too vain?"

At Joyous Union University, does Lian Tianji have to start preparing for postgraduate entrance exams from his freshman year?

Lian Tianji from Tai Huan University: Many of the majors that have had their enrollment cut this time are popular ones. The Yin-Yang Emergency Medicine that I originally wanted to apply for has had its enrollment cut in half!

Lian Tianji of Joyous Union University: I don't know what the situation will be like when I take the exam.

Qian Shen from Tianhai University: The university evaluation system is profound and complex. Although I haven't fully understood it, there must be a reason for this change in enrollment quotas.

Upon seeing the news of the reduction in postgraduate enrollment, Zhang Yu couldn't help but search online and discovered that Ten Thousand Laws University had indeed also experienced changes in its postgraduate enrollment quotas.

However, seeing that the number of graduate students in the Civil Engineering Department had not only not decreased, but was actually going to be increased, made Zhang Yu laugh.

"Hiring so many, are they trying to keep paying wages on construction sites?"

"Luckily, I'm not in the Civil Engineering Department department for my master's degree."

Zhang Yu planned to follow the plan that Spark True Person had made for him: after switching to the Artifact Crafting Department in his junior year, he would go all the way to the graduate program in the Artifact Crafting Department.

But the smile on his face vanished the moment he saw the news that the number of graduate students in the Artifact Crafting Department had been reduced by 40%.
