What’s the point of cultivating immortality if you don’t have money?

Hearing the words "Golden Core True Person," Zhao Tianxing on the car was slightly startled, then disbelievingly said, "How could a Golden Core True Person's daughter come to Songyang?"

Zhang Yu also nodded slightly beside him, knowing that above Qi Refining was Foundation Establishment, and above Foundation Establishment was Golden Core.

To achieve Golden Core, one must graduate from a key high school, successfully enter the top ten universities, and then develop within a major sect, climbing to who knows which level of Kunxu.

The daughter of such a person would be born on at least the second level of Kunxu, so how could she come to Songyang City on the first level?

The driver smiled slightly upon hearing this, as if he had a mind to show off, and slowly said, "It's not just Ms. Li Xuelian who's coming to Songyang City."

"It's said that her father, True Person Xinghuo, came from Songyang City. Now that he's retiring, he plans to return to Songyang City to enjoy his later years..."

Zhang Yu found it strange, a Golden Core powerhouse returning to a novice village to retire?

The driver continued, "This art exhibition isn't just for Ms. Li's paintings, it's said that there's also a 'Celestial Martial Arts Diagram' personally painted by True Person Xinghuo, which is said to contain a set of peerless martial arts."

"Among those coming to this art exhibition, besides those who want to befriend Ms. Li, there are also many who want to comprehend this martial arts diagram, hoping to glean that set of peerless martial arts from it."

……

Songyang Central Building.

999th floor.

Zhang Yu was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking in shock at the rolling sea of clouds beneath his feet. This was the first time he had stood so high to overlook the entire city.

Adjusting the new security uniform he was wearing, Zhang Yu felt a sense of wonder in his heart.

Since entering the Central Building, Zhang Yu felt as if he had entered another dream world.

If the environment of the suburbs where he lived was still somewhat similar to his previous life, then the infrastructure of Songyang High School had already subtly surpassed the world of his previous life in various aspects, and the Central Building in front of him…

Whether it was the terrifying height of 999 floors or the various immortal techniques within the building filled with the flow of magic power, it could be described as a dreamlike scene.

Recalling the process of being drawn to the 999th floor by the formation in a few seconds with the blessing of Taoist techniques, yet being unharmed, Zhang Yu couldn't help but feel emotional again.

"It's still Songyang City, but mortals live in the suburbs, cultivators gather in the city center, and this Central Building is the territory of the truly wealthy."

"Three places, although all in one city, are like three different stratified worlds…"

Just then, Zhao Tianxing's voice sounded behind Zhang Yu: "Zhang Yu, the captain told us to come and patrol, we have to go, right?"

Zhang Yu turned his head and looked at Zhao Tianxing, who was also wearing a security uniform.

However, unlike Zhang Yu's composure in the security uniform, Zhao Tianxing was very awkward, timid and fearful… looking like he had shit his pants.

He always felt like a clown in this security uniform, and the gazes of the people around him seemed to carry three parts contempt, three parts disdain, and three parts contempt.

But in fact, Zhao Tianxing was overthinking it. After putting on this security uniform, he was no longer a mortal, but became like a background board in the building, and his presence in the eyes of most people was only slightly higher than the greenery.

Zhang Yu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Stand up straight, we are now security guards of the Central Building, not here to deliver food, what are you afraid of?"

Feeling that the passers-by around him seemed to be attracted by Zhang Yu's voice, Zhao Tianxing quickly said, "I know, Zhang Yu, keep your voice down, don't affect others."

The scale of this art exhibition was not small, occupying a space of thousands of square meters, and also supplying drinks and buffet meals. In Zhang Yu's view, it was more like a gathering than looking at paintings.

And the legendary Celestial Martial Arts Diagram was currently covered by a layer of cloth, said to be waiting for Ms. Li Xuelian to unveil it in person.

Zhang Yu and Zhao Tianxing were assigned to a more marginal area of this venue to patrol back and forth as security guards.

And at the moment, the art exhibition had not yet officially started, so this patrol seemed extremely easy, and did not cause a ritual backlash.

After all, the ritual power on Zhang Yu was aimed at fulfilling wishes.

And his method of fulfilling his wish was to study, cultivate, work hard to get into university, and earn money… to eventually fulfill the evil god's wish.

Things like temporary work were also part of working to earn money and even studying and cultivating, and the ritual power would not force him to do other things.

On the contrary, the state of wandering around aimlessly at the moment was much easier for Zhang Yu than the hard work of the past few days.

Just then, as the two approached the dining table, they saw a group of waiters setting out plates and arranging table decorations.

Zhang Yu glanced at it, looked at the dishes being placed one plate after another, and said in surprise: "This is… seafood?"

Zhao Tianxing also looked over, looked at the abalone and lobster in the plates… and nodded slightly: "They are marine creatures. I've seen that one with the shell when I went out with my mother. It seems to cost 30,000 to 40,000 yuan per catty."

"But this is the Central Building, so it's normal to have these, right?"

Seafood, Zhang Yu was no stranger to it in his previous life, and he ate a lot of it.

But in this Kunxu, at least in the first level of Kunxu, marine life is an extremely rare existence. Even the original Zhang Yu had only seen it online. Not to mention eating it in reality, he had never even seen it.

Just because in the entire first level of Kunxu, which covers more than 20 million square kilometers… there is no sea.

It is said that the marine life on the market is either imported from the higher levels of Kunxu, or some institutions create artificial marine environments to breed them.

And hearing the price of tens of thousands of yuan per catty in Zhao Tianxing's mouth, Zhang Yu was even more secretly speechless: "So expensive?"

"What are the benefits of eating this thing? Can it increase magic power?"

No wonder Zhang Yu thought so. Whether it was the original Zhang Yu or the current Zhang Yu, everyone he came into contact with in the immortal world was advancing by any means, trying their best to improve their magic power, martial arts, Taoist techniques, body, and Taoist heart…

Clothing, food, housing, transportation… everything in life was related to improving cultivation.

"Benefits?" Zhao Tianxing thought for a while upon hearing this, and finally shook his head: "I haven't heard of any benefits from eating this. It seems to be just for the taste."

"Just for the taste?" Zhang Yu was slightly stunned looking at the plates of delicacies on the table.

Just as Zhang Yu and Zhao Tianxing were secretly looking at the dining table together, a cold voice suddenly sounded behind them.

"You two security guards, why aren't you patrolling properly? What are you doing here sneaking around?"

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

Hearing this voice, Zhao Tianxing was startled, turned around, and quickly explained: "We didn't do anything…"

But seeing the appearance of the person behind him, Zhao Tianxing was stunned on the spot.

Zhang Yu turned around leisurely, looked at Bai Zhenzhen and said, "Oh? It's Ah Zhen, what a coincidence that you're also here to see the art exhibition?"

Zhao Tianxing, who was next to him, found that the person who came was a classmate, and only felt that the security uniform on his body was even more ugly and unsightly, and his body twisted awkwardly, as if he was holding back a bowel movement on the spot.

Especially when he thought that if the matter of him being a security guard was spread to the class, and labels such as poverty, working, lack of money, etc. were attached to him by the students in turn, his status and reputation in the circle would plummet, Zhao Tianxing twisted even more fiercely.

Bai Zhenzhen looked at Zhang Yu expressionlessly and said, "I didn't expect you to take a few decades less detours at such a young age and come here to be security guards."

Zhao Tianxing quickly waved his hands and explained: "No, classmate Bai Zhenzhen, I came with Zhang Yu."

Zhang Yu suddenly slapped Zhao Tianxing on the shoulder: "What are you panicking about? You are a temporary security guard with an hourly wage of 800, and one hour of purchasing power is enough to satisfy the eating and drinking needs of mortals for ten days. I don't know how many people will envy you if you say it."

"Ah?" Zhao Tianxing was slightly stunned upon hearing this, and never thought that an hourly wage of 800 was anything amazing.

But looking at Bai Zhenzhen, who suddenly didn't speak in front of him, he felt a chill coming from the other party.

Zhao Tianxing had always been unfamiliar with this genius girl who ranked first in the grade in total score. He only knew that she had always been cold and aloof, not approaching strangers, and only ate with Zhang Yu, Zhou Tianyi and the others.

In fact, the circle where Zhao Tianxing was located had also tried to invite her, but had never received a response.

In his heart, Bai Zhenzhen was a genius girl with extraordinary talent, but very arrogant and difficult to approach.

At this moment, looking at her expressionless and silent appearance, Zhao Tianxing only felt that the other party seemed to be angry.

"It must be Zhang Yu who said something wrong and made her angry."

Just as he was twisting around, thinking hard about what to say to adjust the atmosphere, he heard Bai Zhenzhen coldly ask: "You can get 800 yuan an hour?"

"Yes." Zhao Tianxing nodded foolishly, not understanding what the other party wanted to say.

Just then, a call came from the other side of the dining table, and a waiter who was setting the table shouted: "Newcomer, go and serve the dishes, what are you doing standing there?"

Bai Zhenzhen said to Zhang Yu and Zhao Tianxing: "I'll go and serve the dishes first, let's talk later."

At the same time, she thought to herself: "Damn! Security guards can get 800 yuan an hour? I only get 500 yuan an hour. I knew I would have come to be a security guard."

Zhao Tianxing then realized that Bai Zhenzhen's clothes were exactly the same as those of the waiters, and said in shock: "Bai Zhenzhen is also working here?"

"What's so strange? Who in this world isn't working."

Zhang Yu recognized Bai Zhenzhen's outfit at first glance, and in his opinion, it was normal for Bai Zhenzhen to work given her economic situation.

However, thinking that she could still maintain her total score at the top of the grade while working, he was secretly shocked.

"Ah Zhen's talent is really extraordinary. Looking at all the entry disciples under my Songyang Sect, I'm afraid she's only weaker than me."
