Chapter 853: Dao Monarch Bu Recommends Talent Without Avoiding Relatives, Lower Beast Gang
Myriad Laws Sect, within the office of the Edict Pavilion Review Department.
One by one, Righteous Gods suddenly descended, sealing off the entire office of the Review Department’s Martial Dao groups.
Then, under the surprised gazes of many Cultivators, streaks of divine light swept up and took away Lu Hengzhang, the Deputy Minister of the Review Department. For a time, this sparked various speculations and rumors within the Edict Pavilion.
Watching this scene, the Minister of the Review Department, Rank 5 Sect Staff Gu Qingya, sighed inwardly and secretly guessed, “Lu Hengzhang had previously visited the Former Days Graveyard. Could it be related to the collapse of the Minor Realm there?”
The people from the Innate Dao Lineage are really bold.
Soon, Gu Qingya received instructions from above that a cultivator would be parachuted into the Review Department to temporarily take over Lu Hengzhang’s position.
It seems Lu Hengzhang is beyond saving. He just left… and someone already has their eyes on his position.
Curious, Gu Qingya sent a message to Zhang Yu to inquire about the situation, and also took the opportunity to catch up with his former subordinate, who was now famous within the Myriad Laws Sect.
In his view, Zhang Yu’s prevention of the Heaven Collapse in the Former Days Graveyard, followed by his personal reward from Heavenly Monarch Fa Liuyuan, already made him a Kunxu Hero strongly supported by the Reformist Faction.
In addition to this, Zhang Yu was also backed by the Myriad Laws Immortal Clan, clinging tightly to Bu Yingshu’s thigh.
Gu Qingya had heard that Zhang Yu had even carried an Immortal Embryo for Dao Monarch Bu. After he was beaten to the point of miscarriage in the Former Days Graveyard, it was Bu Yingshu who stood up for him.
With the push of the Reformist Faction and the backing of the Immortal Clan… this former subordinate of mine, his Promotion Accelerator must be terrifyingly strong.
Under these circumstances, Zhang Yu’s future promotion to Rank 5 and stepping into the Void Refinement Realm is already a certainty.
It’s even possible… that his future promotion speed will be faster than that, and he will most likely surpass this old leader in the future.
“If he used to beg to ride my Promotion Accelerator in the past, in the future, it might be me begging him. It’s better to line up in advance now.”
On the other side, Zhang Yu’s eyes flickered, already seeing the message Gu Qingya sent.
Gu Qingya: “Congratulations to Minister Zhang for gaining the sect’s trust and taking on such heavy responsibilities [10,000 Immortal Coins]”
Zhang Yu: “Minister Gu is too polite [Transfer received]”
“Gu Qingya: Does Minister Zhang know about Lu Hengzhang’s situation? [Dog Head]”
“Zhang Yu: What situation? [Question]”
Listening to Gu Qingya recount the matter of Lu Hengzhang being taken away, Zhang Yu also felt slightly surprised in his heart, “This Heaven Collapse is actually related to Lu Hengzhang?”
Memories of the other party surfaced in Zhang Yu’s mind. When he took the Sect Examination, it was this Deputy Minister who conducted the interview, directly targeting his Civil Engineering identity right from the start. Only later did he find out that the other party belonged to the Innate Dao Lineage faction.
Later, when Zhang Yu entered the Edict Pavilion Review Department, he also had conflicts with the other party several times. In the end, it was Bu Yingshu who taught the other party a lesson for him.
However, he didn’t expect that this leader, who was once high and mighty to Zhang Yu, was now dragged into the Dao Lineage Struggle. The position beneath him was refined by someone in the blink of an eye, making him just like a bug swept into a storm, completely devoid of the strength to resist.
Sighing inwardly at the cruelty of the struggles in Kunxu, Zhang Yu replied to Gu Qingya that he also did not know what was going on.
Back then, Gu Qingya’s promotion to Minister of the Review Department was partly due to Zhang Yu’s help. Both of them had climbed up from the Lower Realm, so their relationship was considered quite good.
Gu Qingya was incredibly curious about Zhang Yu’s recent experiences, and taking this opportunity, he probed, “Zhang Yu, have you been in contact with Lord Fa of the Reformist Faction for a long time? With such a strong backer, you should have told me earlier.”
Gu Qingya thought to himself, “If you had said it earlier, I would have clung to Lord Fa’s thighs with you.”
Zhang Yu said righteously, “I only have one backer, and that is the Myriad Laws Sect. I also only have one sun in my heart, and that is the Myriad Laws Immortal Emperor.”
Gu Qingya curled his lips and thought to himself, “If you don’t want to say it, then don’t. Is there a need to bring out the Immortal Emperor?”
Inside the interrogation room, the Righteous God looked at Lu Hengzhang in front of him and said, “Lu Hengzhang, confess honestly. You should understand that without solid evidence, we wouldn’t have brought you here.”
Lu Hengzhang said with a gloomy expression, “If you really had solid evidence, would you still need to interrogate me like this?”
The Righteous God said, “Lu Hengzhang, don’t harbor any delusions. You triggered the Minor Realm Heaven Collapse and almost caused a loss of over a trillion Immortal Coins. No one can save you.”
Lu Hengzhang said agitatedly: “You are framing me! I am a Rank 4 Sect Affairs Officer of the Edict Pavilion, I want to contact my superiors, I want to contact the Heavenly Monarch! I am innocent!”
Half an hour later, Lu Hengzhang cried and said with bitter remorse: “I deserve to die! I have let down the sect and let down the Immortal Emperor! I made a grave mistake because my mind was momentarily clouded.”
With a thought from the Righteous God, an asset list appeared in front of Lu Hengzhang: “Look closely, are there any omitted assets? You should understand that the more fines you pay now, the less debt interest you will have in the future.”
Seeing this scene, Lu Hengzhang’s tears flowed continuously. Watching the wealth he had worked hard for years to build evaporate all at once, he was truly heartbroken at this moment.
After registering all the assets, the Righteous God waved his hand and pulled out another light screen, saying: “According to the relevant provisions of the Abolish Death Law, although your crimes are heinous, the sect appreciates your years of service and will ultimately spare your life.”
“I hope that after you transform into a Soul Cultivator, you will continue to work diligently, pay off your debts properly, and repay the sect’s kindness.”
As they spoke, the Righteous God had already pushed the light screen in front of Lu Hengzhang: “This is your Soul Cultivator conversion agreement, fill it out yourself.”
Looking at the contents of the agreement, Lu Hengzhang’s heart suddenly sank: “Former Days Graveyard? I am going to be assigned to the Former Days Graveyard to be converted into a Soul Cultivator?”
Lu Hengzhang knew well about the Soul Cultivator Industry at the Former Days Graveyard.
In his opinion, whether it was Heavenly Demon, Netherworld, or White Bone, falling into their hands was worse than the last.
But if he was assigned to the newly established Soul Cultivator Company of the Myriad Laws Sect… the other party’s person in charge was Zhang Yu!
He hurriedly asked: “Which company… will be responsible for my conversion when the time comes?”
The Righteous God said indifferently: “Which company you go to specifically depends on the Heavenly Court’s arrangements. How would I know? Just wait for the reply from above.”
Former Days Graveyard.
Management Committee Vice President Xie Lanyin was currently separating a strand of thought to watch the news of the Myriad Laws Sect.
Looking at the various news about High-Intelligence Artifact Spirits, she thought to herself: “This internal strife in the Myriad Laws Sect seems to have been controlled within a certain range by the Myriad Laws Immortal Emperor, and the Artifact Spirit Faction has also chosen to yield.”
Xie Lanyin’s gaze focused on the Myriad Laws Sect’s various management regulations for High-Intelligence Artifact Spirits.
“The high-intelligence database is supervised by the sect, review offices are set up within relevant enterprises, and there is also strict management of various related copyrights…”
Looking at these actions one by one, Xie Lanyin sighed inwardly: “As expected of an Immortal Emperor ranked in the top three for cultivation growth rate… silently suppressing and striking at the same time, not only preventing internal strife but also further controlling the Artifact Spirit Faction.”
“However, this is fine too. Just as Heavenly Monarch Bai said, whether it is the Myriad Laws Sect’s internal strife or the Artifact Spirit Faction being suppressed, it is beneficial to our White Bone Cult’s Soul Cultivator Industry.”
Right at this moment, projections of cultivators and Righteous Gods suddenly descended before Xie Lanyin’s eyes.
Her heart sank slightly as she thought: “Are they here?”
A Righteous God said: “Vice President Xie, we will have to trouble you to come with us.”
Xie Lanyin said calmly: “I still have 10 minutes before I get off work.”
The Righteous God smiled and said: “We know. Please hand over your work as soon as possible within these 10 minutes, and then cooperate with us for some investigations.”
Ten minutes later, Xie Lanyin’s physical body had been completely locked down, while her consciousness crossed the Spirit Realm to an interrogation room.
Facing the questioning, Xie Lanyin naturally pushed all the blame onto Lu Hengzhang.
After the interrogation ended several hours later, Xie Lanyin breathed a sigh of relief and thought to herself, “Just as Heavenly Monarch Bai said, they didn’t make things difficult for me. It looks like Lu Hengzhang will take the fall for everything in the end.”
“It feels like Celestial Inquiry Star is lagging a bit lately, and its answers aren’t as smart anymore.”
Zhang Yu thought to himself, “Is it because of the decrease in spiritual energy supply, along with the suppression from other major Dao Lineages?”
Right at this moment, Zhao Tianxing sent a news article over.
The Netherworld Assets Department that Zhang Yu currently managed was an emerging department, and naturally, it did not only consist of Zhang Yu, Yu Xinghan, and Ye Xingli.
In fact, long before Zhang Yu became the Minister, the sect had already arranged for quite a few Sect Staff to join the Netherworld Assets Department.
After all, it was not easy for the Myriad Laws Sect to open a new department. With so many positions suddenly available, it was targeted by numerous factions. It was impossible to leave all the arrangements to Zhang Yu alone; many high-ranking cultivators would insert their own people into it.
Meanwhile, Zhao Tianxing, as Zhang Yu’s Soul Cultivator, was now responsible for contacting the Soul Cultivators under the various cultivators in the department.
At the same time, as Zhang Yu’s most trusted Soul Cultivator, Zhao Tianxing not only received the blessing of the Calculation Pool but was also in charge of managing the distribution of the Calculation Pool’s computing power to the other Soul Cultivators.
Currently, Zhao Tianxing was leading Mo Tianyi, Hu Yuntao, and others, acting like a communications squad. They constantly exchanged messages with numerous Soul Cultivators, monitored various data within the Immortal Grotto-Heaven, or collected news requested by Zhang Yu… Continuously summarizing and organizing all sorts of information before sending it to Zhang Yu.
In this way, the Soul Cultivators handled various miscellaneous tasks, allowing Zhang Yu to put more effort into more valuable matters such as cultivation, cleaning up the labyrinth, and Grotto-Heaven construction.
And Zhao Tianxing had faintly become the chief Soul Cultivator in the department.
Zhao Tianxing thought to himself, “Although I haven’t spent as much money as you guys, haven’t died as miserably as you, and my first death record isn’t as outstanding as yours… but having Zhang Yu backing me is my greatest confidence.”
Thinking of his past experiences, Zhao Tianxing couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, “If I were still alive, I’d probably just be a Vocational College dog who can’t even find a job.”
“Who would have thought that one day I would not only be able to come to the sect, but also become a minor boss in the Soul Cultivator World, presiding over the Soul Vein of a department.”
Whenever he thought of this, Zhao Tianxing could not help but sigh in his heart: “Mom, you always used to say that I died too early, but now I just want to say… what is wrong with dying early?”
Thinking about vigorously developing the Soul Cultivator Industry together with Zhang Yu next, the signature on Zhao Tianxing’s contacts list had already changed to “Dying early is the best way out for the poor people of Kunxu.”
And at today’s Soul Cultivator Exchange Conference, Zhao Tianxing spoke: “Minister Zhang does not like transparency. From now on, everyone must reduce the transparency regarding everything in the department and keep an eye on every dead person.”
“Also, recently in the Former Days Graveyard, another Soul Cultivator suffered a Mind Melt and had their soul scattered and spirit extinguished after high-intensity work. We must learn a lesson from this and arrange our reserve echelons well. Even if someone’s soul scattered and spirit extinguished, it cannot affect the work progress of the entire team.”
On the other side, Zhang Yu looked at the news sent by Zhao Tianxing, the content of which was exactly the news of Lu Hengzhang’s arrest.
“It caused such a big fuss, but in the end, did they only arrest Lu Hengzhang?”
Zhang Yu thought to himself, “As expected, the issue was raised high but ultimately put down gently.”
The Sect Examination Clone said, “That is because the Immortal Emperor is far-sighted! Putting the overall situation of the sect first! Zhang Yu! The Dao Lineage Struggle has come to an end for now, and the upward trend of High-Intelligence Artifact Spirits has been temporarily interrupted. Next, the Soul Cultivator Industry is bound to flourish, and this is exactly the time for us to show off our skills!”
Thinking of this, Zhang Yu felt a slight headache. The Soul Cultivator market in the Former Days Graveyard had long been completely divided up. Heavenly Demon, Netherworld, and White Bone, as industry giants, had a massive advantage.
“How can we compete with them?”
Just as Zhang Yu was pondering in his heart, a message from Nether Spring made his eyes light up.
“Have they all arrived?”
Because the Netherworld Assets Department was newly established and its office building in the Former Days Graveyard had not yet been settled, Nether Spring took the Ten Universities’ Spirit Transformation cultivators to the Ethereal Communications Department first.
Therefore, Zhang Yu immediately went to the Ethereal Communications Department and, accompanied by Nether Spring, received the Spirit Transformation Divine Monarchs from the Ten Great Universities.
Looking at Divine Monarch Sinful Lotus from the Heavenly Demon Sect, Divine Monarch Wisdom Foundation from the Vajra Sect, and the others before him, Zhang Yu said happily, “Seniors, you have come at the perfect time…”
And watching this scene, the numerous Spirit Transformation cultivators all breathed a slight sigh of relief.
After arriving at the sect, they had always been treated as inferior, having long since lost the arrogance they had in the Lower Realm.
Now, suddenly seeing Zhang Yu’s respectful attitude toward them, which was still just like how it used to be in the Lower Realm, made a trace of an unusual emotion surface in their hearts.
After all, upon seeing the relevant news about Zhang Yu, they all understood that this former junior had now become a great figure completely out of their reach.
And the matter of Magnetic Pole and Old Gao obtaining the Exam Admission Tickets left them incredibly shocked and envious.
When Nether Spring sent a message in the group, letting everyone know of Zhang Yu’s promise, their emotions surged even more.
“From outsourced to official? To think there could still be such an opportunity now?”
Thus, facing Divine Monarch Nether Spring’s invitation, every one of the Ten Universities’ Spirit Transformation cultivators felt an urgent desire, wishing they could immediately work overtime for Zhang Yu.
Now seeing Zhang Yu, the former principal of Heavenly Demon University, Divine Monarch Sinful Lotus, spoke up: “Minister Zhang, you are the sect’s Rank 4 Sect Staff. Calling us seniors is truly too much for us to bear. You can just call me Little Lotus.”
The former principal of Vajra University, Divine Monarch Wisdom Foundation, said, “Right, right, right, Minister Zhang, you can just call me Little Wisdom.”
At this moment, Divine Monarch Wisdom Foundation was extremely glad that he had adjusted Zhang Yu’s Nascent Soul at Old Gao’s request, which was almost equivalent to personally delivering him.
Just as Zhang Yu was entertaining the Ten Universities’ Spirit Transformation cultivators, a pressure suddenly descended from the sky, causing the magic power of Divine Monarch Nether Spring, Divine Monarch Sinful Lotus, Divine Monarch Wisdom Foundation, and the others to tremble.
“Zhang Yu!”
A voice like a thunderclap rang out. Bu Yingshu had already descended from the sky and also arrived at the Ethereal Communications Department, saying proudly, “Accompany me to research cultivation arts.”
Ever since Bu Yingshu, as an investor, requested Zhang Yu to accompany her to research cultivation arts every day, Zhang Yu would be caught by Bu Yingshu and taken to the laboratory almost every day.
Looking at the sudden arrival of Bu Yingshu, Zhang Yu thought to himself, “This woman really is… can’t she see that I’m busy with work? I am the grand Minister of the Netherworld Assets Department, Management Committee Vice President, and General Manager of Nethergate Company. Now she wants me to accompany her every day, does she think I have a lot of free time?”
Fu Ji persuaded him, “Calm down, Zhang Yu. This means she’s already been buttered up by us to the point where she can’t stop, doesn’t know what’s what anymore, and completely can’t do without us. We need to keep sweet-talking her so she’ll invest more, which is the only way to better promote the development of the Soul Cultivator Industry.”
Zhang Yu sighed, “It’s a pity not everyone sees things as clearly as you do, Fu Ji.”
Immortal Slayer urged, “Hurry up and reply to her, or she’ll get angry again.”
Zhang Yu smiled faintly and said to Bu Yingshu, “Dao Monarch, I’ll come keep you company after I finish talking with these Spirit Transformation cultivators.”
“Spirit Transformation?” Bu Yingshu was slightly taken aback. She then slightly adjusted her transparency, only then noticing the Ten Universities’ Spirit Transformation cultivators standing nearby.
She couldn’t help but frown, looking as if her pet cat had brought home a group of ugly, bizarre-looking wild animals.
With a sweep of her gaze, Bu Yingshu had already obtained the origins of the Ten Universities’ Spirit Transformation cultivators from the Spirit Realm. She thought to herself, “This guy Zhang Yu really has gathered more and more Lower Realm cultivators around him.”
As far as Bu Yingshu knew, Zhang Yu’s Sect Staff were from the Lower Realm, his outsourced workers were from the Lower Realm, and even the Soul Cultivators were brought up from the Lower Realm.
And now, he had even recruited such a batch of Spirit Transformation Cultivators from the Lower Realm.
Bu Yingshu thought to herself, “In another two years, is he going to move the Ten Great Universities of the Lower Realm up here too? Such a strong Lower Realm flavor… I’m afraid it will cause a lot of people to dislike it.”
Bu Yingshu knew very well that in the Former Days Graveyard, some people had already started calling Zhang Yu and his group of subordinates the Lower Beast Gang.
However, Bu Yingshu did not remind Zhang Yu. In her eyes, anyway, apart from the Immortal Clan and the High-Ranking Sect Affairs Officers, the other cultivators and Lower Realm cultivators had no major difference; they were all the same lower beasts.
To Bu Yingshu… what did Upper Realm born or Lower Realm born mean? It was all because of the Kunxu that her ancestors conquered, driving the Immortal Dao Golden Age, that gave them the opportunity for Immortal Cultivation.
Although she didn’t care about Zhang Yu recruiting outsourced cultivators from the Lower Realm, Bu Yingshu was very dissatisfied with what Zhang Yu had just said.
“You want me to wait for you?” Bu Yingshu said self-righteously, “Shouldn’t they be the ones waiting, and you only go to them after you’ve finished accompanying me?”
Divine Monarch Sinful Lotus on the side hurriedly said, “Minister Zhang, if you and Dao Monarch Bu have matters to attend to, go ahead and busy yourselves, do not worry about us.”
Zhang Yu nodded and could only follow Bu Yingshu to the laboratory she had temporarily rented in the Former Days Graveyard, accompanying her to extract Immortal Dao Technology from cultivation arts.
Through previous attempts and insights into her own innate talent, Bu Yingshu had an intuition in her heart.
“I must extract more Immortal Sect Techniques in order to fully stimulate my innate talent and let my peerless innate talent truly shine.”
On the side, Zhang Yu looked at the Dao Seed Register on the Feather Book and thought to himself, “For Bu Yingshu’s Myriad Laws Immortal Clan talent to be upgraded to level 6, it requires extracting 10 cultivation arts each from the True Inheritance-Tier, Strategic-Tier, Sect-Guarding-Tier, and Heaven-Opening-Tier Immortal Sect Techniques.”
A total of 40 Immortal Sect Techniques needed to be extracted, which even involved 10 Sect-Guarding and 10 Heaven-Opening ones. In Zhang Yu’s eyes, this was simply overwhelmingly difficult and absolutely not something that could be achieved in a short period of time, so he currently did not have much motivation to continue working on this with Bu Yingshu.
Especially since… the vast majority of Immortal Sect Techniques could not be easily gifted. This meant that even if Bu Yingshu had mastered many Immortal Sect Techniques, she would be unable to bring Zhang Yu along to research and refine them together because Zhang Yu did not have the copyright.
Bu Yingshu asked, “Zhang Yu, besides the Kunlun-Uprooting Heaven-Overturning Mystic Power and Kunlun in the Palm, what else do you know?”
Naturally, Zhang Yu could not reveal the Immortal Sect Techniques he had secretly learned, so he could only shake his head and say, “Dao Monarch Bu, I only know these two.”
Bu Yingshu sighed. She had already successfully reached the entry level for both of these cultivation arts, and her next plan was to refine these two Immortal Sect Techniques together with Zhang Yu.
But what troubled her was what to do afterwards?
Bu Yingshu could feel that her Peerless Talent could absolutely not be stimulated by a mere two Immortal Sect Techniques.
Zhang Yu said, “Dao Monarch Bu, when we were in the Review Team, didn’t you say you could get the Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred Contemplation for me?”
Although Zhang Yu had already learned this Sect-Guarding Technique himself, he had never been granted the copyright for it and had always been using it in secret.
Bu Yingshu helplessly said, “That was when we were in the Review Team. Now you are in charge of the Soul Cultivator Industry here at the Former Days Graveyard, so we can’t do it that way. Besides, this cultivation art has already been refined, refining it repeatedly is useless.”
Zhang Yu sighed, “Dao Monarch Bu, you are from the Myriad Laws Immortal Clan, so this Myriad Laws Sect should logically belong to your family. I didn’t expect you to be so heavily restricted that you can’t even give away a cultivation art.”
Seeing Zhang Yu’s disappointed look, Bu Yingshu instantly felt that she had lost face in front of her underling, and couldn’t help but say, “Stop speaking nonsense, this is Sect Law. Although I am from the Myriad Laws Immortal Clan, I am not someone who bends the law for personal gain or disobeys Sect Law.”
The scene of Bu Yingshu driving her Immortal Shuttle and running someone over flashed in Zhang Yu’s mind, and he secretly rolled his eyes.
But his expression remained impassive as he continued, “Sigh. Dao Monarch Bu, you compromise for the greater good, and as a member of an Immortal Clan, you scrupulously abide by the sect’s rules. But unfortunately, many people don’t have this self-awareness. Once they hold power, they are not satisfied until they have scraped every bit of profit into their hands.”
Bu Yingshu frowned, feeling that Zhang Yu was hinting at something, but she didn’t know what it was.
She couldn’t help but ask, “What are you talking about?”
Zhang Yu recalled the intelligence Yu Xinghan had told him and slowly said, “I heard that when the cultivation arts of the Martial Arts Pavilion undergo their third round of testing, they invite outside cultivators to serve as testers.
“Being a tester means being able to learn and practice the tested cultivation art for free. It can be considered a huge benefit. Every time, the spots are snatched up and divided cleanly early on. I’ve even heard that the externally sold quotas already have a fixed price.”
Bu Yingshu herself was a Rank 6 Sect Staff and the Vice Pavilion Master of the Martial Arts Pavilion, but her primary responsibility was not the testing division.
Furthermore, she had so many cultivation arts herself that she could not even learn them all, so she had paid no attention to such benefits.
Hearing Zhang Yu’s words at this moment, her gaze flickered and she said angrily, “Outrageous! Testing is meant to promote the research and development of cultivation arts, for the sect interests of my Myriad Laws Sect. How can they abuse it like this?”
For Bu Yingshu, who viewed Sect Assets as private property and the Myriad Laws Sect as the foundation of the Immortal Clan, the thing she hated and detested the most was people other than the Immortal Clan using their power for personal gain within the Myriad Laws Sect.
“Selling testing quotas? Do they even deserve to?! This is the foundation established by my ancestors. If anyone is going to sell them, it should be me!”
Bu Yingshu looked at Zhang Yu who was standing to the side and said, “I’ll take a look right now to see if there are any Immortal Sect Techniques that require a third round of testing. If there are, I’ll put your name on the list, so you can learn an Immortal Sect Technique for free.”
As for Bu Yingshu herself, being the Vice Pavilion Master of the Martial Arts Pavilion, she could naturally inspect whichever testing technique she wanted.
“Let me see…” Bu Yingshu’s gaze shifted as she said, “Perfect, there’s a newly created Strategic-Tier Technique scheduled for its third round of testing next month.”
Zhang Yu knew that even in the Martial Arts Pavilion, it was impossible to have a large number of Immortal Sect Techniques created every year.
On the contrary, the version update work for Immortal Sect Techniques was much more frequent, but even if the related testing work invited outside cultivators, they usually invited those who had already mastered the older versions.
But in short, even if he could only piggyback off Bu Yingshu to learn one Immortal Sect Technique a year, it was still a massive advantage.
Especially since this process didn’t involve any transactions of Immortal Coins between him and Bu Yingshu. Even if someone wanted to investigate, it would be very difficult to find anything, so it wouldn’t become a stain on his record.
Instead, if he performed exceptionally well during the testing, it could become a highlight.
This would show Bu Yingshu’s ability to recognize talent and her willingness to recommend worthy individuals without avoiding her own relations.
Bu Yingshu said, “I have already put your name down. Just wait for the invitation letter from the Martial Arts Pavilion.”
Zhang Yu felt a surge of joy in his heart and quickly said, “So fast? Dao Monarch Bu, I was just thinking about what to do, and I didn’t expect you to have already arranged everything clearly. This vigorous and resolute, millisecond-responsive ability, we really couldn’t catch up to it even if we tried.”
Bu Yingshu smiled proudly, thinking to herself, Do you even need to say that?
Next, Bu Yingshu pulled Zhang Yu into a refining session of Kunlun in the Palm. Zhang Yu also worked even harder, not only cooperating with all his heart, but also mainly guiding, giving Bu Yingshu ample opportunities to show off, fully releasing emotional value, and flattering Bu Yingshu to the point that she became happier and happier.
Seeing Zhang Yu’s face full of satisfaction from being taught by her, Bu Yingshu smiled faintly, thinking to herself, ‘As expected of a leader, one must still show powerful abilities to make subordinates submit.’
After accompanying Bu Yingshu, Zhang Yu returned to the Ethereal Communications Department to meet the Ten Universities’ Spirit Transformation cultivators.
When he arrived, he found that Magnetic Pole and Old Gao were also there, exchanging information about the Former Days Graveyard while being surrounded by the Spirit Transformation Cultivators like stars surrounding the moon.
Zhang Yu walked up, and the Ten Universities’ Spirit Transformation cultivators immediately went up to greet him.
Zhang Yu looked at Magnetic Pole and Old Gao and said, “Teachers.”
Magnetic Pole nodded and said, “Old Gao and I came over to catch up with them, and also to brief them on the situation in the Former Days Graveyard, to facilitate their future work.”
“Since you’re here, there’s nothing left for us to do. Old Gao and I are preparing to leave.”
Old Gao then said, “Teacher Magnetic Pole and I will follow Yu Xinghan and the others to the Lower Realm. You don’t need to see us off.”
Zhang Yu nodded and said solemnly, “Teachers, I wish you success in the Sect Examination. I will wait for you here at the Myriad Laws Sect.”
Old Gao smiled, waved his hand, and soared into the sky alongside Magnetic Pole, transforming into two streaks of divine light that vanished into the sky above the Former Days Graveyard.
Ten Universities’ Spirit Transformation cultivators nearby watched them absently. Having walked the immortal path for many years and being forever stuck at the Spirit Transformation Realm, they constantly yearned to join a sect and break through to higher Immortal Dao Realms.
Meanwhile, Yu Xinghan also sent Zhang Yu a message: “We’re leaving.”
Zhang Yu replied: “Xinghan, bring more of our comrades up.”
Yu Xinghan: “Leave it to me. [Keep it up]”
Not long after Yu Xinghan and the others left, Zhang Yu’s eyes flickered as a message from Su Lengyou appeared before him.
