Black Cultivation Method

Inside the Spirit Realm office of Hammer Heart Residence.

You Chuan then said, "This simulation environment is very suitable for Zhang Yu."

"Help him enable deep connections, and then at the crucial breakthrough moment, play it at 3x slow speed, and then loop it 10 times."

Upon hearing You Chuan's instructions, the customer service representative frowned and said, "The pain level of this simulation environment is very high. If we perform a deep connection, I'm afraid the memories of the simulation environment might affect his mental state."

You Chuan knew, of course, that once deep connection was activated, the possibility of a breakthrough would greatly increase, but the memories, feelings, and emotions left over from the simulated environment would be even more profound!

But he said calmly, "He has already agreed to the user manual, and the accident will happen at least several months later. Who can blame us for it?"

The customer service representative then said, "But isn't it too easy to make him suffer so much for free by mobilizing so many computing resources?"

You Chuan sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it!"

"The guaranteed success rate of 30 Spirit Coin is the selling point of this package. It relies on the students' strong aptitude and willingness to break through; most can reach the unity of Spirit-Flesh Unity within 5 attempts!"

"When we encounter students who are slow to make breakthroughs, we can only consider ourselves unlucky!"

At the same time, after Zhang Yu opened his eyes in the Spirit Realm, he remembered his identity!

He is Zhang Yu, a construction worker!

However, due to his physical injury, his work efficiency was too low, and gradually no construction site was willing to hire him. Fortunately, the advancement of technology and the emergence of the Dharma Skeleton gave him hope!

"The groundbreaking product of Dharma Skeleton Tiangong Corporation, leading the world with cutting-edge Immortal Dao Technique, enables everyone to achieve higher work efficiency!"

"In the future, everyone equipped with the Dharma Skeleton will only need to work 2 hours to complete the workload of 12 hours currently!"

"Heavenly Craft will allow Immortal Dao Technique to better benefit Kunxu!"

Watching the advertisement in the video, Zhang Yu made a painful decision. He sold everything he could, including his hands and feet, and borrowed a large sum of money. Finally, he was fitted with the Dharma Skeleton and immediately regained his ability to work. He was placed on the construction site, where he swallowed materials and then spat out high-quality concrete every day. The technical content of his work increased significantly, and his salary also increased several times over!

But his good fortune was short-lived; the newly created Fahai (a type of Dharma Skeleton) caused a severe rejection reaction in him!

Due to a lack of funds, Zhang Yu couldn't afford to perform weekly Dharma Skeleton adjustments, let alone monthly Dharma Skeleton maintenance!

The original Dharma Skeleton on his body gradually began to age, becoming unaccustomed to the natural changes in his body, and causing structural imbalances!

All of this ultimately led to a continuous decrease in his Dharma Skeleton Synchronization Rate!

"The synchronization rate is too low, causing your scheduling neurons to work overtime, ultimately leading to abnormalities in the cerebral cortex," Zhang Yu murmured, listening to the company's analysis. "This is what I..."

What causes phantom pain?

The other party said, "Go pay the bill first, and then we'll start preparing your Dharma Skeleton right away!"

You need to understand that your body changes every day, and your current Dharma Skeleton cannot adapt on its own. It needs to be adjusted once a week to perfectly match your body.

"If prolonged exposure to certain conditions is not managed, it will cause the body's structure to mutate, and the flesh and nerves will have to compensate!"

Zhang Yu couldn't hear anything the other person was saying anymore, because he was drowning in debt and had no money at all! He could only endure the phantom pain in his body and repeatedly circulate the Remnant Ox Abandoning Self Heart Sutra!

But this pain became more and more frequent and intense as working hours increased!

The pain of severed limbs and dislodged internal organs kept coming. Zhang Yu opened his eyes and seemed to see his bloody wounds again!

With the frenzied operation of the Remnant Ox Abandoning Self Heart Sutra," he was about to step into the realm of Spirit-Flesh Unity!

But at that moment, a thought suddenly popped into his mind!

"Why? Why can't my wound heal on its own?"

Meanwhile! Inside the dormitory!

Under the influence of deep connection, the Remnant Ox Abandoning Self Heart Sutra in Zhang Yu's mind started to operate spontaneously, and the Body Activation of his hands and feet was enhanced to the peak!

The constant undulation of flesh and blood seemed to be healing the wounds on his severed limbs!

Following Zhang Yu's intense reaction in reality!

Zhang Yu, even in the simulated environment, began to tremble violently!

His flesh and blood surged, and his cultivation technique broke through, seemingly undergoing some kind of active change! Just then, a voice seemed to tear through the simulated space, entering Zhang Yu's mind from the depths of the Spirit Realm!

"Find me!"

Zhang Yu instinctively asked, "Who are you?"

"Find me!"

The other person seemed not to hear Zhang Yu's reply, and continued, "Find my spirit!"

"Find my physical body!"

"Find my magic!"

When Zhang Yu regained his senses, he found that his Spirit Realm Connection had been severed.

He removed his Spirit Realm Mask, recalling everything that had just happened, and murmured, "Me?"

Zhang Yu felt his mental cultivation technique running naturally, and unknowingly he had already stepped into the realm of Spirit-Flesh Unity!

But before he could even rejoice, he found an unfamiliar website address appearing in his mind!

"Was it that voice that reached me?"

"Who exactly is he? How could he summon me within the Spirit Realm realm of Hammer Heart Residence?"

"Could it be someone from Hammer Heart Residence? They've been secretly observing me all along?"

Just as Zhang Yu was filled with doubt, a communication connection request appeared on his Eye Remains!

After the communication was activated, Manager You Chuan's image appeared in front of Zhang Yu!

"Zhang Yu! Classmate?" You Chuan asked, his eyes gleaming. "Are you alright?"

Just as Zhang Yu's flesh and blood were about to come alive in the simulation environment, You Chuan discovered that the entire simulation environment had suddenly lost connection!

Then, a few seconds later, the entire simulation environment crashed!

This phenomenon immediately startled You Chuan!

After instructing customer service to quickly block the news and intercept the logs and related data, You Chuan immediately contacted Zhang Yu!

Seeing that Zhang Yu was alright, You Chuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness!"

Although Zhang Yu's incident was nothing to Hammer Heart Residence, it was a major mistake for You Chuan personally!

Seeing You Chuan's strange expression, Fu Ji suddenly asked, "What happened?"

Listening to Zhang Yu's story, Fu Ji smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, if there's a serious problem, it won't just be a matter of communication!"

"What happened to you might be seen as a mistake on their part!"

"Otherwise, the people from Hammer Heart Residence wouldn't have contacted you privately instead of through company channels! I think we can try to bluff them!"

Zhang Yu raised an eyebrow and looked at You Chuan, saying, "What's going on at Hammer Heart Residence? Such a serious mistake, I almost died in there?"

You Chuan's heart sank, and he thought to himself that something was wrong. On the surface, he denied that there was a problem, but in his heart, he was not sure!

Because he genuinely had no idea what happened during those few seconds when the connection was lost!

Zhang Yu said, "You don't want to take responsibility, do you? I want a refund, and I'm going to sue you! I've already saved the problematic Spirit Realm data!"

Upon hearing this, You Chuan's heart sank again. Thinking of the simulation environment parameters he had asked to be adjusted, he sighed inwardly and had no choice but to engage in a tug-of-war with Zhang Yu!

After some bargaining, the two parties gradually reached an agreement!

You Chuan: "As long as you don't go through the company's refund process, consider the service successfully completed, and don't pursue this matter, I will personally refund you 2.5 Spirit Coin every month for 12 months!"

You Chuan thought to himself, "It's good that Zhang Yu has stopped his Spirit-Flesh Unity Journey. It's wasting computing resources, ruining our group's data, and what if something else happens!"

Zhang Yu's eyes lit up, and he said, "What about interest?"

After another round of bargaining, You Chuan finally agreed to pay the interest, sending Zhang Yu Zhang Yu Spirit Coin every month to cover the monthly installments of the Spirit-Flesh Unity Journey!

Although Zhang Yu had considered whether he could extract more benefits, he also understood that he had already achieved the Spirit-Flesh Unity!

Furthermore, he was unwilling to reveal what had happened in the simulated environment, whether it was that voice or the activation of his own body!

Therefore, Zhang Yu knew that he couldn't possibly make a big fuss about this!

"Now, even a stick can't fight a wolf without being afraid of both sides, but I've managed to intimidate him for the time being!"

Shortly after the two parties signed the agreement, Zhang Yu hung up the call. Thinking about how he'd gotten the Spirit-Inner Unity journey for free, he couldn't help but laugh, "I've hit the jackpot this time!"

Fu Ji, however, was more concerned about the website address Zhang Yu had received!

However, Zhang Yu did not log in immediately. Instead, after thinking for a moment, he sent the URL to Zhang Pianpian and asked her if there were any problems.

"Where did you get this URL?" Zhang Pianpian asked suspiciously. "This URL points to the deepest part of the Spirit Realm, almost at the edge of the Layer 2!"

"It doesn't look like it existed long ago; it looks like it was just created recently!"

"However, the website is encrypted and blocked, so I can't view its content. Forcing my way in might corrupt the information!"

With Zhang Pianpian's protection, Zhang Yu logged onto that website!

After a long silence, Zhang Pianpian couldn't help but ask, "What did you see?"

"A piece of the mental cultivation method."

Zhang Yu asked in confusion, "It's a cultivation technique that's not in the Great Library!"

At the same time, he thought to himself, "It can also be classified as Chain Law Diagram set, belonging to the Great Saint Successor set of mental techniques!"

"

Zhang Pianpian raised an eyebrow. "What exactly is this mental cultivation method?"

Zhang Yu recited the contents of the cultivation technique, and after searching the Spirit Realm, Zhang Pianpian slowly said, "I have no information about this cultivation technique in any of the data I have!"

"This proves that this is a Black Cultivation Method!"

Zhang Yu asked in confusion, "Black Cultivation Method? What do you mean?"

Zhang Pianpian explained, "It's not listed in the Daoist Canon Catalog of the Ten Great Sects, it's not registered with Copyright, and there are no records of any Cultivation Method there!"

"Most people believe that the Black Cultivation Method are those that have been banned by the Ten Great Sects and Cultivation Method data records have been erased!"

"It might originate from some extinct sect!"

"It's also possible that it was created by someone who has already been banned!"

"Then, Senior!"

Zhang Yu asked curiously, "Do you think I can cultivate this Cultivation Method?"

After a moment of silence, Zhang Pianpian said, "Judging from the content, I don't feel there's any danger!"

"I even think that, judging from its quality, this Cultivation Method, even if not Military Grade, is at least Former Military Grade!"

"The danger of this Black Cultivation Method probably lies in its origins!"

"And the person who taught you this Cultivation Method might also be targeting you!"

"But it would be a waste not to cultivate such a high-quality mental cultivation method!"

Zhang Pianpian seemed to weigh her options for a moment, then looked at Zhang Yu and said, "You choose for yourself!"

"But remember, if you want to cultivate, you must hide yourself well. Secondly, every time your consciousness enters the Spirit Realm Network, do not use this Black Cultivation Method, lest you be targeted!"

Shortly after Zhang Yu began practicing this dark and ruthless technique, it was already the end of August, the deadline for Final Exam!
