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

Inside the cafeteria.

Zhang Yu looked at Qian Shen and Zhao Tianxing with a puzzled expression, curious as to why they both looked like they had failed an exam.

"What's wrong with you two?"

Upon hearing Zhang Yu's curious inquiry, neither Qian Shen nor Zhao Tianxing could answer, as they had both signed confidentiality agreements, and no information about the special training program could be disclosed.

Zhao Tianxing shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's nothing, just… the pressure from the competition team is a bit much."

At the same time, a hint of pity flashed in his eyes as he looked at Zhang Yu.

Zhao Tianxing thought to himself, "He Dayou and the others started their transplant surgery yesterday, so their physical strength will skyrocket from now on, right?"

"Although Yu Zi and A Zhen have powerful talents, they can't possibly surpass the school's Immortal cultivation techniques."

"So, the path of Immortal cultivation… is still all about money, after all, right?"

…

During physical education class that day.

He Dayou, physical strength level 1.56

Li Xianglu, physical strength level 1.55

Wang Wenjie, physical strength level 1.53

Overnight, after undergoing transplant surgery, He Dayou and the others had each made significant improvements.

Watching the three of them easily manipulate various pieces of equipment and looking at the physical strength test data, the surrounding students couldn't help but reveal envious expressions.

"The sports competition is indeed Songyang's trump card program; He Dayou and the others are improving so quickly."

"They're already this amazing after just one day? Teacher Wang Hai really has skills."

However, what He Dayou wanted to see and hear wasn't the talk of these classmates; he turned his head to look for Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, but found that they didn't seem to have come to physical education class at all, and there was no sign of Zhang Yu even in the small room next door.

"Hmph, it doesn't matter, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future." He Dayou seemed to already see the scene of his physical strength soaring every day in the coming month, eventually trampling Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen under his feet.

"I will improve faster and faster, until my physical strength approaches the level of a second-year high school student."

"My score will eventually be above yours."

…

Where did Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen go?

Both of them had applied to Wang Hai to be excused from physical education class.

Zhang Yu's idea was: Next, my Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi will improve rapidly, so I should hide and practice on my own, lest people see any clues.

Bai Zhenzhen thought to herself: My spiritual root has too many functions; since I already have the reputation of renting a spiritual root, I don't need to worry about attracting attention, so I might as well practice alone, to avoid being noticed by too many people.

So, on the school's rooftop.

Zhang Yu looked at Bai Zhenzhen in front of him and laughed, "A Zhen, what a coincidence, you're not in physical education class either?"

Bai Zhenzhen looked at Zhang Yu in front of her and smiled as well, "Yu Zi, what a coincidence, you're also here on the rooftop to practice?"

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "A Zhen is probably enlightened; she doesn't want to be seen, so she's come to the rooftop to practice alone."

Bai Zhenzhen thought to herself, "Yu Zi probably hasn't turned it off; he wants to secretly practice and hide his strength, then show off big time in a month, so he came to the rooftop?"

Zhang Yu laughed, "Then let's practice together on the rooftop."

Bai Zhenzhen also laughed, "Yeah, let's practice together, let's practice together."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "A Zhen can still be trusted; I'll let her see my talent this time and make her completely admire me."

Bai Zhenzhen thought to herself, "After all, a mother doesn't hide her advantages from her son; after enduring for more than ten years, I can finally find someone to show my amazing potential to. Hahahaha, I can already see Yu Zi's envious and jealous look."

So, they smiled at each other, each walked to the side and stood still, and began to cultivate separately.

So, on the rooftop, Zhang Yu began to practice Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi diligently.

He stood still, his body gradually making a roaring sound in the repeated vibrations, just like waves repeatedly hitting reefs.

Bai Zhenzhen turned her head and looked at Zhang Yu, whose cheeks and hands were gradually turning red under the surge of Qi and blood, and was startled.

Then, she thought with jealousy, "Is this the Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi? Yu Zi has already mastered it? He's starting to use this technique to temper his body?"

Bai Zhenzhen suddenly felt that the spiritual root in her stomach wasn't so appealing anymore.

She felt like she was being woken up in the middle of the night by her classmate's breathing exercises.

Seeing her classmate secretly eating more of the leftover medicine packaging in the morning.

Seeing a few more needle holes on her classmate's arm than usual during physical education class.

Bai Zhenzhen quickly released the restraints on her spiritual root, preparing to begin body tempering.

"How can my son's showing off compare to my own?"

"Keep surpassing him, keep surpassing him! My physical strength must continue to be above Yu Zi's next month!"

With that said, she had already released the restraints on the spiritual root in her body and began body tempering.

And after practicing more than a dozen times, Zhang Yu felt a burst of weakness in his body, so he planned to sit down and rest for a while, while taking out the prepared energy drink to drink a few sips.

"As expected of the energy drink I got from Bai Long High School; free things are great."

At this moment, sensing the strangeness of the spiritual energy in the air, he turned his head to look in Bai Zhenzhen's direction.

He saw Bai Zhenzhen also practicing a body tempering technique; Zhang Yu couldn't tell what technique it was, but he could vaguely feel wisps of spiritual energy pouring into Bai Zhenzhen's body, seemingly nourishing her flesh and blood.

"Is this the effect of the spiritual root? Something that can enhance the body, like a muscle-building spiritual root?"

Zhang Yu thought with jealousy, "It's so great to have a spiritual root; I must ask A Zhen to borrow it to play with in the future."

Then Zhang Yu discovered a new anomaly.

With his level 10 experience in multiple martial arts, it was enough to discover subtle differences in other people's move changes.

And looking at Bai Zhenzhen at this moment, Zhang Yu felt that the other party's body tempering technique had obvious adjustments every time, making people feel more comfortable and smoother, as if Bai Zhenzhen naturally… constantly adapted to this set of body tempering techniques.

"Does A Zhen have adjustments and improvements every time she practices martial arts?"

It sounds very ordinary, but upon closer inspection, Zhang Yu felt the power within it.

Zhang Yu was shocked: "Isn't this the same as my Feather Script, where the technique can also improve quickly?"

"She wasn't this good when she practiced before, was she?"

"Sure enough, she's secretly turned it on!"

Thinking that the other party had been secretly working hard with a cheat that he couldn't see, Zhang Yu got up after resting for a while and continued to squeeze himself to cultivate Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi.

The newest and fastest novel is first published on Liǔ 9 Shū Bā!

So in the following time, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen worked hard to temper their bodies, focusing on accompanying each other.

When the class bell rang, Zhang Yu had already raised Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi to level 7 (15/70), only feeling that under the pulling of his muscles, his internal organs were also moving at any time, being tempered with his repeated exercises, and making bursts of strange internal organ movement sounds.

On the other side, Bai Zhenzhen was steaming all over, with sweat constantly dripping from her flushed face, only feeling that the muscles all over her body were growing and strengthening under the catalysis of the spiritual root.

Accompanied by the ringing of the class bell, the two smiled at each other.

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Amazing, A Zhen."

Bai Zhenzhen also smiled slightly, "You're not bad either, Yu Zi."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "I won't take a bath when I go back today, I'll start practicing directly! I must raise Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi to level 10."

Bai Zhenzhen secretly gritted her teeth, "I won't poop when I go back today, damn it, body! Give it to me in one breath until dawn!"

So in the next few days, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen seized the time together, wandering in one unmanned corner of the campus after another, leaving behind pools of hard-earned sweat, frantically squeezing their flesh and blood.

And in physical education class, He Dayou felt excited about his daily increase in physical strength, but was disappointed again and again because he didn't see Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen.

But he endured it all.

He constantly told himself in his heart: "Isn't this the result I expected?"

"Poor people with talent are only powerful at the beginning, and in the end they will lose to rich people."

"After completing the transplant, as the newly entered muscles continue to merge with my body, my physical strength is now increasing rapidly every day."

"The later Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen come to witness my strength with their own eyes, the more despairing the gap they will feel."

With a trace of expectation, He Dayou continued to practice diligently in physical education class.

And in the same physical education class, Zhao Tianxing, not far away, secretly looked at He Dayou, his eyes always accompanied by a trace of envy and hesitation.

"Qian Shen has already withdrawn, indicating that he will not participate in the competition team; Lan Ling has picked another classmate to come in."

"But… should I also withdraw?"

"I don't like this way of improving my score, but He Dayou and the others are really improving their physical strength very quickly; at this rate… I can't catch up with them at all."

But thinking that in order for him to enter the competition team this time to improve his score, his parents were already planning to sell the house, Zhao Tianxing hesitated again.

…

In the small forest before school ended this day.

Zhang Yu sat cross-legged, but his whole body was constantly emitting white gas in the cold wind, which was exactly him practicing the Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi that had been pushed to level 10.

At this moment, his muscles, internal organs, and bone marrow were all pulled together, being tempered in repeated exercises.

In addition, it was the effect after Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi reached level 10.

Zhang Yu's physical structure became more reasonable and perfect, and every muscle in his body was tightly fitted, like exquisitely constructed parts, perfectly combined together.

This body structure adjustment after level 10 also made his physical strength skyrocket on the spot, plus the hard work of these days, making his physical strength increase to level 1.67.

In addition, his digestive ability and metabolic rate have been improved.

Zhang Yu felt that he was hungry at every turn now, and it was the feeling that every piece of meat in his body was hungry.

"The daily food expenses have risen to more than 600, this body tempering is really expensive."

But even so, Zhang Yu could feel that his body was still not satisfied.

"Should I need to take pills?"

Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi can be combined with taking pills to temper the body, but the pills to be combined are called Primordial Pills, and Zhang Yu saw on the Internet that they cost 30,000 each.

"Damn it… this Ziyun Pharmaceutical Company is robbing money!"

With the soaring food expenses and the need for pills, Zhang Yu only felt that he was getting more and more short of money.

Although he gave Song Hailong another lesson yesterday and another 5,000 yuan was credited, Zhang Yu still felt that it was not enough to spend looking at the balance of less than 16,000 in his account.

Fortunately, another opportunity to make money is coming today.

Accompanied by the ringing of the school bell, Bai Zhenzhen ended her exercise and looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Let's go, Yu Zi, let's shoot an advertisement."
