Not long after the end of the second round of Foundation Establishment Exams.
The floor of Immortal Metropolis.
Ye Lingxiao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window of the building, looking at the Central Cloud Sea Park in front of him, and said to the other end of the phone: "Yes, that Dao Dissolution Sustained-Release Capsule is very interesting."
"I can't reveal the specific situation, but if there is a chance... I think I can try to get the laboratory to analyze it. I am willing to participate in related research..."
After discussing with the family elder on the other end of the phone for more than ten minutes, Ye Lingxiao suddenly brought up another matter.
"Uncle, there is one more thing I want to trouble you to investigate."
"In other cities on the first floor of Kunxu, are there any companies that have developed technologies related to drug metabolism?"
"Characteristics?" Ye Lingxiao recalled Zhang Yu's performance in the Foundation Establishment Exam, and carefully said without revealing any information about the Foundation Establishment Exam: "In short, it can greatly improve the user's drug metabolism ability."
"Thank you for your trouble."
...
On the train.
Yu Xinghan was sending a message to Li Xuelian: Senior Sister.
Li Xuelian: Purpose, time, how much money?
Yu Xinghan looked at the expense application form sent by the other party, and felt that his fists were hardened again. He thought to himself: "I will teach you a lesson when I return to Hongta."
He typed on his phone and replied: I want to ask Zhang Yu to give me more tutoring. I think I can learn a lot from him.
Li Xuelian: Zhang Yu? Isn't his performance declining badly? If you get too close to him, won't he harm you?
Yu Xinghan frowned, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.
He couldn't mention the content of the Foundation Establishment Exam. How could he convince Li Xuelian?
He couldn't possibly say that he and Zhang Yu were friends who sold seeds together, knew each other well, and Yu Zi wouldn't harm him.
But just as Yu Xinghan was hesitating, Li Xuelian suddenly replied understandingly: Okay, if you want to find him for tutoring, then go ahead.
Yu Xinghan's eyes moved, and he thought to himself: "Could it be that Senior Sister guessed it? That's right, this is the time for me to take the Foundation Establishment Exam. If I suddenly make this request, she must have guessed that it is related to the Foundation Establishment Exam."
Yu Xinghan knew that this kind of process of accidentally having someone guess the exam information was impossible for even a True God to investigate.
That's why a deterrent is needed before and after signing the contract.
It can be said that what really keeps the candidates safe is not the contract, but the True God's martial power and the Heavenly Court's determination.
"Senior Sister is really smart."
Yu Xinghan quickly replied: Zhang Yu has increased the price to 50,000, 50,000 per hour.
Li Xuelian: So expensive? Wasn't it only 15,000 before?
Yu Xinghan: Can that be the same as now?
After a long time, Li Xuelian replied: Let him add me, I will talk to him personally.
Yu Xinghan cursed inwardly when he heard this: "Did I quote too high?"
After thinking about it, he quickly replied: After much persuasion, he is willing to reduce it to 30,000 an hour for my sake.
Seeing that Li Xuelian finally gave up and started discussing class hours with him, Yu Xinghan breathed a slight sigh of relief.
...
At the same time, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen on the other side were already sitting on the train back.
Bai Zhenzhen opened her mouth and sighed: "The gap between me and the top Immortal Metropolis young masters is still quite large."
Recalling the strength Yun Jing displayed in the arena, Bai Zhenzhen subconsciously clenched her fists.
At first, she felt that the other party was just using brute force brainlessly, with a kind of beauty of using money to smash people to death.
Later, after carefully analyzing it, Bai Zhenzhen realized that it might not be that simple.
"He is targeting me."
"After discovering that I am good at high-speed close combat, he used a wide range of power-based moves to push me off the ring alive."
"This is using the ring environment, using space and power to completely suppress my high-speed tactics, so that I can't exert any advantage at all, and instead can only compete with him in strength."
"This guy is not only powerful and rich, he also knows how to fight against the opponent's weaknesses."
Thinking of this, Bai Zhenzhen's expression became more and more serious: "If I want to defeat that guy in three months, not only must my physical data continue to improve, but I also have to learn a few more powerful techniques for deduction."
Bai Zhenzhen sighed: "After calculating, I feel that I will have to spend several million more in the future."
Zhang Yu on the side nodded in agreement. Comparing the gap between himself and Ye Lingxiao, he thought to himself: "In the remaining three months, I must push my Dao Heart, mana, and physical strength to the limit of Qi Refining."
"I also need to continue learning techniques."
"It's best to put together another set of chain diagrams, and it has to be more powerful than the High School Sacred Body."
Zhang Yu knew that Yu Shu's chain diagram could only drag in ten techniques, and a set of six techniques was needed to take effect, and ten techniques were needed to achieve the ultimate effect. This meant that within the same time period, the chain diagram could only take effect for one set.
So if it wasn't a set stronger than the High School Sacred Body, it would be meaningless to Zhang Yu.
"Among the sets I can currently see, the Heavenly Martial Battle Heart, the Great Sage Inheritor, the Martial Dao Holy Embryo, and the Dragon Bloodline feel like they might be stronger than the High School Sacred Body."
"However, I haven't been able to find all ten techniques for the Heavenly Martial Battle Heart and the Great Sage Inheritor."
"So what I can complete is either the Martial Dao Holy Embryo or the Dragon Bloodline."
And when he thought of the techniques required for these two sets, Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh secretly.
He didn't have to worry about not being able to learn them. With the blessing of the High School Sacred Body's three times the cultivation effect, he could break the next three months into nine months to cultivate.
Zhang Yu's worry was the same as Bai Zhenzhen's... it was money.
"In the next three months, it will cost at least several million to have a chance to defeat Ye Lingxiao, or even tens of millions to be more secure."
Millions or tens of millions of cultivation expenses are nothing to the real rich, such as Ye Lingxiao and Yun Jing, and may even be considered frugal.
But for poor people like Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, that was already a huge number they wouldn't have dared to imagine in the past.
It seemed that Fu Ji, who had woken up, heard Bai Zhenzhen and Zhang Yu's sighs, and said in their hearts: "Ordinary part-time jobs cannot meet your cultivation expenses."
"The money that can be borrowed and the loans that can be taken out are almost the same."
"Now the last way left for you is to continue to work hard in the dark tutoring world."
"It just so happens that your strength has improved rapidly during these days, and you have me to guide you from the side, so even if you get involved in gang fights, it won't be too dangerous."
To prevent the walls of the train from having ears, Bai Zhenzhen typed on her phone and replied: "But I'm afraid that after we go back, the Zhou family will continue to send people to follow us."
"If we continue to be monitored, then we won't be able to do anything in the tutoring world."
Bai Zhenzhen remembered Zhou Hao, the one who repelled her when she went to find Zhou Chechen last time.
According to the other party, this Zhou Hao was a college graduate from the 72nd Lower School, a proper peak Qi Refining.
And according to Bai Zhenzhen's several secret probes when delivering food, the people who followed and monitored her later were also very strong, probably at the same level as that Zhou Hao.
Bai Zhenzhen: "These people are not weak, and they have various tracking methods. It's not easy to get rid of them, and it will only make them more alert."
Zhang Yu also typed back: "So it's not just about getting rid of them, but about finding a way to completely solve them, at least to make the Zhou family temporarily give up their 24-hour surveillance of us."
Bai Zhenzhen: "Do you have a way?"
Zhang Yu looked at his newly added friend, Deng Bingding, the Sixth-Ranked Wandering God of the Four Directions.
Zhang Yu realized that the key to breaking the situation this time might lie with this True God.
The Zhou family would never know that he had met such a True God, so how to make good use of this information gap was very important.
However, he didn't know much about the ways of the True Gods. Fortunately, there was Fu Ji, a senior Evil God, in front of him.
Immediately, Zhang Yu told them about adding a True God friend, and planned to discuss with Fu Ji and Bai Zhenzhen how to deal with the Zhou family's tracking.
After hearing this, Fu Ji laughed and said: "Oh? A Sixth-Ranked Wandering God of the Four Directions?"
"That is indeed worth planning carefully."
"If you can make good use of the power of this True God, it will be enough for the Zhou family to suffer a big loss and have no time to deal with you two."
Bai Zhenzhen: "True Gods are not easy to use, right? Are we going to use the exam this time? But judging from the Zhou family's reaction last time, they know the depth of the water inside and won't be easily fooled."
Although Bai Zhenzhen didn't mention the Foundation Establishment Exam, Fu Ji and Zhang Yu naturally knew what she meant.
And judging from the fact that the Zhou family didn't send anyone to track them when they left the city last time, the other party knew the information about the Foundation Establishment Exam, and had scruples, so they wouldn't be easily fooled.
Fu Ji chuckled and continued to transmit sound in their hearts: "So there is no need to lead the Zhou family to investigate the Foundation Establishment Exam, just give this Sixth-Ranked Wandering God a chance to intervene in this matter."
"Do you know why the Kunxu Gods are so greedy for money?"
Zhang Yu had been curious about this for a long time, and immediately asked: "Why?"
Fu Ji said: "Naturally, it is because if the Eight Divine Departments want to improve their rank, increase their divine power, and improve their talismans, they also need money."
Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen were both surprised when they heard this. They didn't expect that the True Gods also had to spend money to be promoted? Isn't this the same as mortals using talismans?
Fu Ji continued: "Making money, or rather, recovering wealth from all over Kunxu, is a major mission of all True Gods."
Fu Ji sighed: "From this point of view, the Ten Great Sects are indeed far-sighted, and they are not just forcing you to climb up one by one."
Zhang Yu's eyes showed a thoughtful look when he heard this, but Bai Zhenzhen frowned and asked: "What exactly do you mean?"
Fu Ji sighed: "In the beginning, after the Ten Great Sects unified the thirty-six layers of Kunxu and destroyed all those who disobeyed, they deeply felt that Kunxu was difficult to manage, so they created the Eight Divine Departments and created a group of True Gods to manage the world for them..."
