You dare to cultivate without money?!

Chapter 1196 800: Old Graveyard, Fu Xiantian's Legacy

Zhang Yu thought to himself: "Comparing these two methods, purchasing a Primordial Spirit is faster, cheaper, and more stable in quality, but it is limited in potential, and there are numerous obstacles to breaking through to Refining Void."

"Refining a Nascent Soul into a Primordial Spirit, however, is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly... especially when refining within the sect, where more sect-specific spiritual resources can be obtained. The upper limit of Primordial Spirit refinement is higher, but the resources spent are also much greater."

Zhang Yu's gaze swept over the interface of the Law Realm, looking at the regulations concerning the architecture of the Primordial Spirit, the Divinity Transformation Pool, the Anti-Demon Wall, as well as stable Detached Equipment, Seclusion Survival Equipment, Primordial Spirit Insurance...

"It's all money," Zhang Yu sighed internally while making his selections.

"Starting next week, I will be stationed at the Old Graveyard. It seems all these devices for advancing to Divinity Transformation must be installed there as well."

Zhang Yu had already made up his mind to fully focus on reaching Divinity Transformation once he arrived at the Old Graveyard, leaving other matters to be dealt with only after achieving this stage.

Thinking of this, he was suddenly struck by another thought: "Should I retrieve the inheritance left by Fu Xiantian before heading to the Old Graveyard?"

Zhang Yu asked Zhan Xian, "Can I retrieve Fu Xiantian's inheritance now?"

Zhan Xian replied, "You are already at the Fourth Level and can access the 14th layer, so naturally, you can retrieve it. I also suggest you do so as soon as possible; the longer it is delayed, the higher the chance of your master's inheritance being exposed."

Zhang Yu nodded slightly. With Zhan Xian being his avatar and fully aware of his status, as well as having an understanding of Fu Xiantian's inheritance, Zhang Yu felt assured that it was fine to proceed with the retrieval.

Just as Zhang Yu planned to set out for the 14th layer after work, a message from Bu Yingshu suddenly appeared before him.

Bu Yingshu: There's something for you.

...

Even before Zhang Yu met the Pavilion Master of Yufa Pavilion, Bu Yingshu knew about Zhang Yu's promotion arrangement.

Upon seeing this arrangement, Bu Yingshu's first reaction was anger.

"Who's stirring up trouble behind the scenes?"

Bu Yingshu immediately suspected her brother, Bu Zhenqing.

In response to Bu Yingshu's inquiry, Bu Zhenqing candidly said, "Little sister, this has nothing to do with me, or rather... if you think I really did it, would I be doing it so stealthily?"

"Sigh, I've told you before, you're just too high-profile. Often, before things are accomplished, you go around announcing it everywhere, inviting enemies from all sides."

"As the saying goes, 'Success hinges on secrecy.' You went out in front of so many people, claiming you wanted to take someone from Yufa Pavilion. Do you really think Judgment Law Lineage is your family's business?"

Bu Zhenqing sighed, "We're just an Immortal Clan, not Immortals."

"Whether it's Yufa Pavilion or the cultivators under Judgment Law Lineage and Innate Dao, they respect our identity, not us personally."

"Once they feel we're doing things unworthy of our status, these lower beings will just as easily turn and bite us."

Seeing Bu Zhenqing's sincere expression, Bu Yingshu frowned, "Was it really not you?"

Bu Zhenqing smiled, "Fine, I'll help you find out what's going on. How about that?"

After disconnecting, Bu Zhenqing smiled, sighing, "My foolish little sister, apart from your luck... you're truly good for nothing."

On the other side, Bu Yingshu sighed, looking at Zhang Yu's contact, a flash of embarrassment crossing her face.

She thought to herself, "Damn! How am I supposed to speak with Zhang Yu, this lower-level cultivator?"

Remembering the things she previously said to Zhang Yu, Bu Yingshu felt utterly embarrassed, almost to the point of not daring to face Zhang Yu again.

"Does this kid think I'm useless?"

"Does he think I was bragging?"

"Is he considering siding with someone else?"

Such thoughts flooded her mind, making Bu Yingshu more and more annoyed as she thought about it.

She was absolutely unwilling to give up on Zhang Yu, considering it involved her talent breakthrough, and the secret regarding the Great Saint's memory.

After pondering for a while, Bu Yingshu gradually made up her mind: "I must use a strategy of both benevolence and might to keep Zhang Yu close."

"I cannot let him think I'm useless or incompetent..."

"I can't let him believe I lack authority within the Immortal Clan..."

Thinking of this, Bu Yingshu summoned a subordinate and instructed, "Go and activate that Qingming Sky-splitting Immortal Shuttle for me."

The subordinate was slightly taken aback and asked, "Taoist Lord, do you mean... the one with the Immortal Token?"

Bu Yingshu nodded and continued, "After activation, inspect it, and if there are no issues, deliver it to Old Graveyard and hand this Immortal Shuttle over to Yufa Pavilion's Zhang Yu."

The subordinate was surprised, "Give... give it to an outsider? Taoist Lord, what if this Immortal Shuttle, bearing an Immortal Token, kills someone?"

Bu Yingshu calmly replied, "After passing the Immortal Shuttle to him, tell Zhang Yu... with this Immortal Shuttle, he can fly wherever he wants in the Old Graveyard, and if anyone gets killed, it will be on me."

...

Looking at the message from Bu Yingshu, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "There's something sent to me? Telling me to retrieve it after I arrive at the Old Graveyard?"

Fu Ji analyzed, "This is probably compensation, right? Bu Yingshu might feel bad about the promotion issue, or worry you might have ill feelings, so she's sending something to make up for it."

Zhang Yu nodded slightly, thinking this was indeed possible.

"Could it be because she bragged in front of me last time and didn't make it happen, felt too embarrassed, and hasn't contacted me these past days?"

Shaking his head, Zhang Yu was somewhat uncertain.

Although curious about what Bu Yingshu sent, Zhang Yu instinctively felt that a gift meant to appease him wouldn't be something too extravagant.

"After all, in Bu Yingshu's view, she's my only hope right now, and a token gesture of appeasement should be enough."

Anyway, he would find out upon reaching the Old Graveyard, so Zhang Yu wasn't in a hurry either.

Leaving the Yufa Pavilion's office area after work that day, Zhang Yu, in a booming rush, ascended into the heavens, crossing layers of skies as he shot towards Kunxu's 14th layer.

He was going to retrieve the inheritance left by Fu Xiantian.

With repeated Spirit Realm scans, Zhang Yu, possessing Fourth Level credentials, smoothly passed through layer upon layer of monitoring levels, feeling the increasingly dense Spiritual Mechanism, Immortal Qi, and various environmental changes...

He finally arrived at Kunxu's 14th layer.
