You dare to cultivate without money?!

Chapter 1208 804

The road to the Immortal Path is full of thorns, with unending challenges and countless opponents.

Financial difficulties like poverty, lack of funds, and cash flow issues are quite common for the majority of cultivators.

Zhang Yu had long developed rich experience in dealing with such matters.

How to relieve worries? Only by taking loans.

Initially, Zhang Yu had taken out a loan of 180,000 Immortal Coins at the lowest interest rate from a legitimate platform.

As he advanced to the Fourth Level, some lower interest rate loan limits also saw a surge.

Perhaps some cautious cultivators, or those afraid of not being able to repay, would choose to pay back the money first after a promotion.

But Zhang Yu had made up his mind to do the opposite at this moment.

He wanted to borrow more Immortal Coins! To raise his realm faster and gain stronger earning abilities, making loan repayment easier later on.

"If you don't even have confidence, how can you aim for the Immortal Dao Peak?"

"Moreover...this loan limit is precisely the advantage of becoming a Level 4 Sect Staff. If not utilized, wouldn't it be a waste of promotion?"

"Loan platform, let me see your limit."

At this moment, numerous Spirit Realm interfaces appeared before Zhang Yu, and he opened one loan platform after another.

"The shortfall is 200,000, so I estimate I might need to borrow 250,000 in the future. Otherwise, if all the money is spent on the Divinity Transformation Pool, there won't be enough for living expenses and monthly loan repayments..."

Of course, Zhang Yu wasn't planning to borrow immediately. He intended to wait until the 400,000 at hand was almost spent before taking loans.

Determined, in the following days, Zhang Yu either secluded himself in his dormitory to refine his Primordial Spirit or to extract Immortal Dao Technology.

First, he completed extracting all the Immortal Sect Techniques he had mastered, followed by the Military-level Techniques, Expert Level Techniques, and so on, exchanging them all for draws through the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Clan, obtaining numerous "Cultivation Technique Level +1" rewards, as well as some rewards for "Cultivation Technique Variation".

Zhang Yu didn't use these rewards immediately; he saved them to use after his Divinity Transformation breakthrough.

While Zhang Yu was immersed in cultivation, he delegated some of his work to Yan Qianji.

As the Vice Minister of the Ghost Faith Department, Zhang Yu primarily oversaw Soul Cultivator maintenance, leading four maintenance teams that handled all the Soul Cultivator maintenance work for the department.

The work of these maintenance teams wasn't complicated, mainly odd jobs that didn't matter much whether Zhang Yu oversaw them or not. Yan Qianji merely handled simple administrative tasks like document delivery, data statistics, communication, and coordination. Not only was he not busy, but rather found himself too idle.

"The Ghost Faith Department was already quite marginal, but this maintenance work is marginal of the marginal. The higher-ups probably aim to suppress True Monarch Zhang, which unfortunately affects me, alas..."

Yan Qianji really wanted to tell everyone about the existence of the Immortal Shuttle, to show how much backing Zhang Yu had.

But he knew that since Zhang Yu asked him to keep the secret, he couldn't disclose it.

"At this rate, passive without a challenge, it'll lead to ruin..."

So Yan Qianji decided to seek more work to do, even if his current job was marginal, aiming to learn as much as possible at the Sect Level.

The first issue Yan Qianji wanted to resolve was the problem of physical body storage.

"Operating the physical body in the Old Graveyard is too inconvenient, and the Ghost Faith Department's facilities for body storage would probably be unavailable for us and True Monarch Zhang."

Through this period of work, Yan Qianji sensed that although the sect staff in the Ghost Faith Department didn't openly oppose them, an invisible barrier formed around them, using all sorts of legitimate means to continuously diminish their Immortal Dao Potential.

Yan Qianji sighed, clicking on an ad before him.

"Still storing your physical body? What to do with an idle body? Why not place it in Jie Jie, renting out the body to gain training and earn pocket money, enhancing Immortal Dao Potential."

Yan Qianji thought to himself, "Renting out the body? Seems like a solution."

Just then, lines of messages popped up before Yan Qianji. Some maintenance teams below reported a severe shortage of Yin Qi and required him to inform Zhang Yu.

...

Minister Qin Chuan asked, "Still haven't found the Immortal Shuttle?"

Ding Ze, head of the logistics group, replied, "No, ever since the Immortal Shuttle disappeared, it hasn't reappeared. It's presumed that the VIP inside has left the Old Graveyard."

Qin Chuan nodded slightly, thinking that in such a place as the Old Graveyard, such a high-level VIP shouldn't appear at all, much less be stationed.

The other person visited due to certain matters, stayed for a few days, then left, which fits Qin Chuan's conjecture.

"It's good they left; otherwise, every outing these days, I'd be worried about accidentally bumping into it."

Qin Chuan then asked, "What about Zhang Yu? Still cooped up in his dormitory?"

Ding Ze nodded, "Yes, he still hasn't come out."

For the past month, Zhang Yu has stayed in his dormitory almost without stepping out.

After a month of waiting, Qin Chuan realized that no one came to rescue Zhang Yu, nor did anyone greet him on Zhang Yu's behalf, which made him increasingly certain of his original guess.

"This kid has probably been truly abandoned."

"Indeed... for the Immortal Clan, briefly cherishing someone below their status, only to discard them afterward, is quite common. That Lord Bu might soon forget Zhang Yu after a few months."
