Seeing Le Mulan's eagerness to make the most of the time, Zhang Yu nodded in approval.

After all, college students, especially those at Ten Thousand Laws University, are indeed pressed for time and need to make the most of it.

He struck out with his palm, placing it against Le Mulan's back, and a chilling magical power was injected into Le Mulan's body.

The magical power, also originating from the Deep Cold Magic Vein, made it increasingly easier for Le Mulan to digest Zhang Yu's magical power.

However, the chilling aura of their combined magical powers quickly caused a visible bluish-purple tinge to appear on Le Mulan's face!

Zhang Yu understood that if things continued like this, this training wouldn't last long and would end soon!

Otherwise, if they force themselves to continue, the other party will inevitably suffer severe frostbite. Once the medical expenses are paid and the body needs to recover, their progress in the Immortal Dao will be greatly reduced!

How could Zhang Yu, who was still hoping that Le Mulan would unlock the Level 2 of the Deep Cold Magic Vein, accept such a thing?

Upon sensing the rapid drop in the other person's body temperature, Zhang Yu had no choice but to gather his Qi and Blood and place his palm, radiating intense heat, on the other side of Le Mulan's back!

"Zhang Yu, don't just touch my back, I'm cold in other parts too!"

Feeling the other person's trembling body leaning against him, Zhang Yu could only change his position to better raise the other person's body temperature!

At that moment, he felt as if he were holding a soft ball of ice and snow, cool and smooth!

Suddenly he frowned and said, "Don't twist or rub against me, or I won't touch you anymore!"

Le Mulan immediately stopped moving, obediently nodded, and said with trembling, bluish-purple lips, "Mmm!"

Outside the door, Xuan Ge was silently listening to the sounds coming from inside the dormitory. In his memory, Le Mulan was always cold and indifferent, rarely acknowledging the students around her, and her personality could be described as aloof!

Especially after she became Foundation Establishment Ancestor, the surrounding classmates' thoughts about her immediately changed one by one, and even the mere Qi Refining juniors started to have ideas about Dual Cultivation!

Le Mulan became increasingly distant and unapproachable in the face of this!

Xuan Ge often saw her treat her classmates like air, as if she couldn't hear or see the weapon refiner!

At that very moment, Xuan Ge, who was eavesdropping outside the door, felt that he had discovered another side of Le Mulan!

"Dual Cultivation is truly a great training ground!" Xuan Ge exclaimed. "Even Yue Linlan has developed two distinct personalities from it!"

Over the next few days, Zhang Yu Yuran continued her Spirit-Flesh Unity Journey!

As he opened his eyes in the Spirit Realm that day, he remembered his identity this time!

Zhang Yu is a lab technician!

He began practicing the Remnant Ox Abandoning Self Heart Sutra" from a young age, all to make himself more patient and allow the laboratory to collect more data!

But just as his first day of work officially began, he discovered that the lab staff had not arrived. Instead, a group of people he had never seen before appeared. They were wearing uniforms, and they opened the cages one by one, releasing all the lab personnel!

"Because the laboratory allowed underage subjects to cultivate Immortal Dao without authorization, all those in charge have been arrested!"

Next, your destination will be determined based on your cultivation level!

Because of his low cultivation level, Zhang Yu was protected by the Mortal Protection Law and was released from the laboratory, gaining his freedom!

Knowing nothing about the world, Zhang Yu wandered aimlessly through society. He had nothing but the Mind-Body- Remnant Ox Abandoning Self Heart Sutra in his mind!

Stealing, robbing food, and working illegally, he practiced the mental cultivation technique over and over again. Finally, one day, he was able to maintain the technique even while sleeping, and was able to sleep An An without fear of the cold and pain!

But in the next moment, the whole world suddenly froze! Zhang Yu raised his head blankly and saw two figures radiating rolling Divine Power walking towards him!

"Achieving Spirit-Flesh Unity for High-Intelligence Artifact Spirit seems to be no longer a problem; all that remains is to await formal experiments in the Material Realm!"

"Retrieve it first, don't let it escape into the Spirit Realm Network!"

As for formal experiments in the Material Realm, hey...

No matter how much we talk, it's useless if the cost of High-Intelligence Artifact Spirit can't be reduced!

"It's all because those Soul Cultivator are just too cheap; they're much more useful than any artifact spirit!"

Zhang Yu removed his Spirit Realm Mask again, thinking to himself, "This time it feels like a high-level artifact spirit is breaking through?"

"Why does this High-Intelligence Artifact Spirit seem to break through to higher levels much more easily than a human?"

He shook his head, trying to savor the lingering feeling in his mind!

That evening, Zhang Yu, as usual, started communicating with Bai Zhenzhen!

"Yu Zi!" Bai Zhenchu looked at Zhang Yu with a grin and said, "I have good news for you, I'm coming to Ten Thousand Laws University next semester!"

Zhang Xi's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Really? You had time to come over?"

Bai Zhenzhen said, "Yes, I'm going to participate in the University Student Flying Sword Competition next semester!"

"This year's Flying Sword Competition is being held at Ten Thousand Laws University!"

Bai Zhenzhen's projection walked over, leaned against Zhang Yu, and smiled brightly, "Then my son and I will finally be able to meet again!"

After happily ending the call with Zhang Yu, Bai Zhenzhen was even more excited for the Flying Sword Competition to begin!

The next day, Zhang Yu logged into Hammer Heart Residence again!

When he opened his eyes this time, he saw a group of Qi Refining cultivators dressed in long robes and sleeves, and knew that he was leading them to demand their wages!

Zhang Yu took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, opened the box, and revealed several golden pills inside!

"After the Divine Thunder Sect split during the sect war, the weapons of its army were scattered in all directions, and this is the Grand Yi Sky-Shaking Thunder among them!"

"Those Dao Official sent by the Myriad Laws Sect are troubling us to death. Only this heavenly thunder can help us stand up for ourselves and blast out all the bitterness in our hearts!"

"Let's all chip in, and I'll help you find a source. As long as you have enough Spirit Stone, what kind of Law Treasure can't you buy?"

At Zhang Yu's urging, various Law Treasure and flying swords from different armies were equipped on the hands of the people!

A single Grand Yi Sky-Shaking Thunder killed the Dao Official in the government office, and the great battle began!

Zhang Yu fell to the ground in the first wave of battle!

After a long while, he finally snapped out of his suspended animation, abruptly opened his eyes, and secretly left the battlefield. Zhang Yu found his superior and reported, "Mission accomplished. Where to next?"

Zhang Yu is a weapons dealer who travels between the territories of various sects. Whenever there is war or resistance, he sells weapons directly!

If no fighting broke out, he would use his outstanding abilities to instigate riots and wars, and recklessly sell the various Cultivation Method, Law Treasure, and flying swords that flowed out of the army!

His motto was. "What the enemy opposes, we support; what the enemy supports, we take 30% of!"

In an era before the internet existed and before the establishment of Orthodox God system, his business was very easy to run.

There are many people like him; there are wars and riots everywhere in the world!

But Zhang Yu understood that all wars and riots were ultimately driven by the will of the immortals!

Later, when the immortals decided to cease hostilities, a system for controlling Military Grade forces was established, and Zhang Yu felt that it was becoming increasingly difficult to make money and that he himself was in increasing danger!

Finally, during a period of anxious rest and sleep, he unknowingly pushed his mental cultivation technique to the point of Spirit-Flesh Unity!

Zhang Yu removed his Spirit Realm Mask, recalling the scenes of attacking the Dao Official, and felt his mental cultivation technique surging more and more intensely!

"It seems like I've made some progress again!" Recalling his experience in the simulated environment, Zhang Yu had only one thought, "The immortals don't care about riots or resistance!"

They even created the riots themselves, and war data can be sold!

In the time that followed, Zhang Yu continued his daily Spirit-Flesh Unity Journey!

Although he could feel himself making progress after each session, and the White Ox he visualized in his mind became more and more vivid, as if it were about to come to life, he felt that he was getting closer and closer to the Spirit-Flesh Unity, but it always seemed to be just a little bit short!

It was so close!

August has arrived in the blink of an eye!

There's less than a month left until the Final Exam!

On this very day, a Orthodox God suddenly contacted Zhang Yu, asking if he had finished choosing his mentor, as the final deadline of the academic year was fast approaching!

Zhang Yu was naturally prepared for this. After the High School Foundation Establishment Exam on the previous level, as the winner, he had the right to appoint a tutor at the university!

Your university advisor represents the faction you'll belong to in the university, which influences your career path from undergraduate to master's and doctoral studies!

Zhang Yu was naturally very cautious about this, especially since he wanted to switch to the Artifact Crafting Department, making the choice of teacher even more important!

He also consulted Zhang Pianpian about this!

Zhang Pianpian said to him, "If your goal is to become a third-tier Artifact Crafting Department, then the stronger the mentor, the better!"

"Although the relationship between the Artifact Crafting Department and the Civil Engineering Department is not bad, if you want to successfully Transfer Departments after breaking into the top 20 of the entire department, a powerful mentor can reduce a lot of trouble!"

"However, the more powerful the mentor, the higher the requirements for the students. As the Artifact Crafting Department are even higher!"

And then there's the situation where you have to transfer from the Civil Engineering Department!

Although they were initially forced to accept you as a student due to the rules, they probably won't treat you well!

"The worst thing about choosing a mentor is getting one who isn't cooperative. If they're unwilling to teach you, it's pointless even if they accept you as a student; in fact, it deprives you of the opportunity to truly receive guidance from a mentor!"

I think if you want to Transfer Departments, you should take it slow and wait until you graduate with a degree in Civil Engineering before you take the postgraduate Transfer Departments exam!

Zhang Yu knew that Zhang Pianpian was right. In terms of the success rate of Transfer Departments, the postgraduate entrance examination obviously had the highest success rate!

But he knew that, under the pressure of the Evil God Ritual, he had to enter the Ten Great Sects, and he had to do so before the Ten Great Sects completely closed their passages—the sooner the better!

He wanted to transfer to the Artifact Crafting Department as soon as possible, take the postgraduate entrance exam as soon as possible, and find a way to enter the Ten Great Sects as soon as possible. So, with Zhang Yu's insistence, Zhang Pianpian also helped to collect information and finally decided to choose the Magnetic Extremes True Lord of the Artifact Crafting Department!

This is a deputy director at the Nascent Soul Realm, and he is very likely to become the head of the weapon system in the future!

This teacher is arguably one of the most promising in the Artifact Crafting Department. With his support, Zhang Yu will have no problem Transfer Departments as long as his grades are good enough!

However, such a prominent figure in the Artifact Crafting Department would naturally not take Zhang Yu, a student from the Civil Engineering Department, seriously. If he were to directly appoint Zhang Yu through the designation of Orthodox God, it would be very likely that he would accept Zhang Yu but not actually accept him, leaving Zhang Yu in a situation where having a mentor is the same as not having one!

Fortunately, Zhang Yu found a good friend to help him, and a message caught his Eye Remains!

Deng Bingding: Zhang Yu, it's been a long time.

Thanks to his achievements on the first floor, Deng Bingding successfully moved to the Second Layer and obtained a brand new position on the territory of Ten Thousand Laws University!

After arriving on the Second Layer, Deng Bingding lay low for a while, observing and listening more and speaking less, constantly gathering information and confirming the situation. In the process, he became more certain of some of his previous suspicions!

"Zhang Pianpian might be backed by a top-tier figure in the Department of All People!"

Zhang Yu must also be from this faction, which is why he was assigned to disrupt the Nether Palace's operations on the first floor!

"This person deserves our help!"

With Deng Bingding's help, Zhang Yu finally managed to add Magnetic Extremes True Lord as a friend through the Spirit Realm Network before being assigned a mentor!

Zhang Yu: Teacher, I don't know if Deng Youshen has told you about my situation.

Zhang Yu: I want to switch to the Artifact Crafting Department in my third year, so I would like to become your apprentice.

After waiting for a long time, just when Zhang Yu was wondering if the other party didn't want to talk to him, Magnetic Extremes True Lord finally replied with an "Mm".

After waiting for a long time without receiving any further message, Zhang Yu had no choice but to reluctantly send a 0.1 Spirit Coin red envelope as instructed by Fu Ji!

The red envelope was accepted instantly, and Magnetic Extremes True Lord's reply followed: I don't recommend you do that.

Zhang Yu had no choice but to ask Deng Bingding for help again!

The Orthodox God pulled the two into a group chat and said, "I have a suggestion." Then Deng Bingding presented a plan that he had previously discussed with Zhang Yu.

Deng Bingding: Director, I know the requirements for transferring to the Department of Instrumentation are very high, and I know your requirements are even higher!

Deng Bingding: But Zhang Yu is indeed very talented!

Deng Bingding: How about this, after you appoint a mentor, you don't have to announce it to the public. Nobody will know that he is your student. You just need to give him a little guidance!

Deng Bingding: If he can barely meet your standards by his junior year, then he can be considered your student!

Deng Bingding: If he doesn't meet your requirements by then, then just pretend nothing ever happened!

Seeing that the other party had not responded for a long time, Deng Bingding tapped Zhang Yu on the shoulder in the group chat!

Helpless, Zhang Yu had no choice but to send another 0.1 Spirit Coin red envelope!

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: Interesting

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: If, during your junior year, you not only rank in the top 20 of the Civil Engineering Department department, but also complete the first three years of courses in the Artifact Crafting Department and pass the final Final Exam for your junior year in the Artifact Crafting Department, then I will accept you as my student!

Zhang Yu's eyes lit up. Once there were requirements and standards, things would be much easier for him!

With Deng Bingding's help, Magnetic Extremes True Lord was temporarily appointed as Zhang Yu's mentor. However, Zhang Yu had never met this mentor before; apart from a few others, he had never met him.

No one else in the school knew about it!

After the matter was over, Zhang Yu thanked Deng Bingding again!

Deng Bingding refused Zhang Yu's red envelope, and said with a smile, "For me, it's just a matter of saying a few words and making a small gesture. Zhang Yu, keep up the good work, I think you'll definitely be able to enter the Refinement Realm."

"The Qi system has become a disciple of the Magnetic Extremes True Lord Poles!"

Having temporarily settled on a teacher, Zhang Yu continued to devote his energy to studying, practicing, and working!

As time passed and the deadline for the Final Exam drew ever closer, Zhang Yu finally mastered the final level of the Qi Vein Everflow!

Yu Xinghan's Three-Eyed Divine Power has finally reached Level 2, and the realm of Spirit-Flesh Unity has finally appeared before Zhang Yu, allowing the Remnant Ox Abandoning Self Heart Sutra to reveal more of its mysteries to him!
