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

In front of a skyscraper in the city center.

Zhang Yu looked up at the towering building that seemed to pierce the sky, vaguely seeing a celestial palace faintly emerging at the top.

This was the Xianyun Group's office building in the center of Songyang City.

In addition, Zhang Yu could see an even taller building in the distance, as if connected to the real end of the sky. He knew that it was the tallest building in Songyang City, the Central Building with 999 floors, which he often saw on his way to and from school.

At this moment, he turned his head again to look at the office building in front of him.

"Xianyun Group?"

On the way here, Zhang Yu had already searched online for relevant information about Xianyun Group.

This was a giant enterprise under the Wanfa Sect, whose business included developing cultivation methods, selling cultivation methods, immortal education, and cultural and creative books.

The Wanfa Sect was one of the top ten sects. In this Kunxu, from clothing, food, housing, and transportation to birth, old age, sickness, and death, people's lives were inseparable from the top ten sects, and immortal cultivation was naturally even more so.

Therefore, Zhang Yu was not surprised that a giant enterprise like Xianyun Group belonged to the Wanfa Sect, one of the top ten sects.

He lowered his head and walked into the building. After explaining his purpose to the receptionist, Zhang Yu successively went through registration, contract signing, and a simple physical examination. Finally, he was led to a place that looked like a classroom.

He saw that there were already several students sitting in the classroom besides him.

After waiting for a while, when the number of students in the classroom reached fifteen, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walked in and began to talk about the content of today's trial.

"Hello everyone, I am today's instructor."

"Everyone here has already signed the contract, but I still want to remind you that everything we talk about here today is not allowed to be spread out. Once our company discovers that anyone has leaked the information, then no matter where you run to, we will definitely find you."

Hearing these words, the students felt a chill in their hearts, but they knew that what the other party said was true. With the strength of Xianyun Group and the Wanfa Sect behind it, it was indeed not difficult to do this.

"The cultivation method that you will try to learn today is called Experimental Cultivation Method No. 113. Next, please watch the teaching video first…"

According to the introduction in the teaching video, this cultivation method was a breathing technique in the Qi Refining realm, but the difference from the basic breathing technique was that this cultivation method was much more complicated, as if it was necessary to establish some kind of mana cycle throughout the body.

As a result, after watching the teaching video, most of the students who came to try the technique were still confused.

It was not until the instructor's detailed explanation that the students vaguely had a general understanding, but they felt even more scalp-numbing.

"Isn't it… are we supposed to practice this kind of cultivation method? Are we worthy?"

The operation route of this cultivation method was too complicated and difficult, as if drawing the Qingming Riverside Scene on a piece of 4A paper.

If Zhang Yu were to describe it, it would be as difficult as carving flowers on a turd.

Not to mention practicing according to the operation route in the teaching, everyone present could not even memorize the operation route, and almost forgot most of it as soon as it was finished.

Not to mention spreading it, the students had no confidence at all in whether they could practice this martial art and complete the experiment.

Seemingly feeling the emotional changes of the students, the instructor said from above: "Don't worry, this experiment does not require you to master this cultivation method."

"In fact, it is impossible for beginners to master this cultivation method on their own."

"What we want to test this time is also the auxiliary exercise equipment that matches No. 113…"

Next, the students present were sent to a testing room, and mana detection patches were attached to their hands, feet, chest, back, and other parts of their bodies.

Then, silver needle-like things were connected to the circuit and sent to the students by mechanical arms.

The instructor continued: "When you start practicing, the detection patches will monitor the operation of mana in your body at all times."

"The magnetic needles will be operated by the robotic arm to stimulate your mana operation route, assisting you in identifying and correcting the operation route…"

Zhang Yu understood after listening for a while. It was an automatic pathfinding… oh no, not automatic cultivation.

Because the mana route of this 113 cultivation method was too complicated, and the timing and points of spiritual energy and mana operation were too high, it was necessary to detect the cultivator's operation path while using magnetic needles to stimulate various parts of the body for guidance.

However, the danger of this process was not small, because the operation route of the 113 cultivation method was too complicated.

Under such a complicated operation route, once there was a slight error in the operation path of mana, it would cause mana to lose control and overflow in the body, causing itching and pain, alternating between hot and cold, and easily causing greater loss of control.

If it took a long time, it would also lead to internal injuries. The longer it took, the more serious the internal injuries would be.

After that, either go to the hospital and pay a high price to ask a strong person to suppress the uncontrolled mana in the injured person's body with tyrannical mana, or rely on physical strength to resist, waiting for the mana to dissipate on its own, or the cultivator himself will master this technique and use the method of performing the technique to actively collect the uncontrolled and scattered mana on the operation route.

At the same time, the instructor continued: "…Everything is as stated in the contract you signed. The remuneration for this trial will be distributed according to the proportion of the exercise route you have completed. Only by completing 100% of the exercise route can you get the full 10,000 yuan."

"If the mana only goes halfway, then it will only be 5,000 yuan."

"Okay everyone, if there are no problems, please start."

Zhang Yu glanced at the information displayed on Yu Shu.

Zhoutian Qi Gathering Method Level 0 (0/1)

He thought to himself: "Does this mean it will be done after practicing it once?"

Zhang Yu closed his eyes and tried to operate the cultivation method he had just learned, starting from the Dantian and transferring it to the back.

At the same time, he felt a slight tingling in his back, knowing that it was the magnetic needle guiding him to operate the mana there.

So next, he followed the guidance of the magnetic needle and operated the mana bit by bit.

……

At the same time, outside the testing room, a group of people were observing the students' situation.

"It's started."

The leading researcher had messy short hair and was staring at the constantly changing data on the screen.

That was the operation of mana in the students' bodies after they started trying to practice the experimental cultivation method No. 113.

The assistant next to him also looked at the practice diagrams of the students on the screen with a solemn expression. This was an image used to describe the operation route of mana in the students' bodies after gathering the mana data from various parts of their bodies.

The correct operation route was green, and the parts where the mana operation deviated would be marked as red.

As time passed by, the assistant's eyes kept showing disappointment as he watched more and more red errors appearing on the operation routes.

"Teacher, the guidance accuracy of the magnetic needle needs to be further improved, otherwise it will not be able to meet the mana operation accuracy when beginners practice 113."

The latest novel is first published on 69shuba.!

"It is still too difficult for beginners to master 113. Should we recruit a batch of testers with higher Dao hearts?"

The researcher, called teacher, frowned and said: "Whether it is 113 or the magnetic needle, it was originally developed for beginners, and I will not change this direction."

"Besides, people with higher Dao hearts have better cultivation methods to learn. The passive breathing effect of 113 lacks competitiveness among them. On the contrary, beginners need the passive breathing effect more…"

Just then, a student who made a mistake groaned and suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood.

Teacher said coldly: "Quickly send him out, don't let him disrupt the mood of others."

But with the appearance of the first student who vomited blood, more and more students who tried to practice the cultivation method began to feel uncomfortable. Some had pale faces and could not breathe, some screamed and fainted from the pain, and some had minor injuries, only their faces were pale, and there was pain or itching in the area where they operated their mana…

Watching one student after another being sent out, Teacher's face became more and more ugly.

He said dissatisfied: "The quality of this batch of students is too poor, can't you recruit some powerful students?"

The assistant explained in a low voice: "Teacher, the previous testers were injured too seriously, and no school is willing to cooperate with us anymore."

Teacher snorted coldly, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face: "A bunch of poor students, whether it is 113 or the magnetic needle, as long as it can be improved successfully, how big is the beginner market? What if hundreds of people die?"

At the same time, only the last three students in the testing room were still persisting in practicing.

Two of them were still persisting because there were few errors and very little mana was scattered out of control.

Another pale-faced student surprised Teacher slightly: "This boy has made a lot of mistakes in the process of practicing. I'm afraid he is in unbearable pain all over his body at this moment, but he can still persist until now?"

The assistant asked: "Teacher, should we stop him?"

Teacher shook his head and said with interest: "Since he wants to earn this money so much, give him this opportunity."

"Besides, for our research, more error data on the complete operation route is obviously more beneficial."

……

Inside the testing room, whenever Zhang Yu wanted to give up, he felt the chill from the power of the ritual, and the countdown that appeared in his mind.

"This idiot! Just knows how to beep beep beep, come if you have the ability."

During the process of practicing, if Zhang Yu made a slight mistake, he could feel mana escaping from the route out of control, stimulating various parts of his body, making him feel sore, itchy, hot, and cold all over.

He finally managed to complete the entire operation route, and glanced at the "Zhoutian Qi Gathering Method Level 0 (0/1)" on Yu Shu, which had become "Zhoutian Qi Gathering Method Level 1 (0/20)", and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Zhang Yu admitted that he had gambled, but fortunately, he succeeded this time.

At this moment, the memories of running this technique hundreds of thousands of times poured out of his mind, making him feel as if he had been practicing this technique for several months.

At this moment, Zhang Yu felt that as long as he wanted, he could use the Zhoutian Qi Gathering Method to collect the uncontrolled mana from his whole body and establish a complex mana cycle.

However, he did not do so immediately, but slowly stood up with soreness and itching all over his body.

The instructor next to him hurried over and said with some surprise: "Student, are you okay?"

It was the first time he had seen someone who could persist in running this technique to the end with such a high error rate.

Zhang Yu covered his stomach and said: "I feel like my internal organs are burning, itchy and painful, my upper body is burning, and my lower body is frozen… it's so uncomfortable."

The instructor quickly supported him and said: "Let me take you to the infirmary to check the situation first."

"No!" Zhang Yu waved his hand violently and said: "What I mean is… I want more money."

The instructor looked him up and down, looking at Zhang Yu's constant trembling and increasingly pale face, and said: "1000 yuan, sign another contract, and we have nothing to do with what happens to you next."

After some pulling, Xianyun Company finally increased the price by 3,000 yuan for Zhang Yu, requiring that no matter what his injuries were next, it had nothing to do with Xianyun Company.
