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

In a dilapidated building.

Zhang Yu stood silently in the empty hall, his mind replaying the effects of reaching level 10 Excavation Palm when he had just unleashed it.

"With that palm strike, my control over Shovel Force has deepened, and the area I can shovel has doubled, right?"

Zhang Yu unleashed another palm strike, the Shovel Force creating bursts of whistling sounds in the air as it slowly bombarded forward.

"Although this Excavation Palm can unleash great power, the pre-attack buildup is too long, and the movements are too slow and lack agility. It's definitely not suitable for combat."

"It's not very useful unless I go to a construction site."

He shook his head helplessly, knowing that these menial cultivation techniques wouldn't help his college entrance exam scores.

"It doesn't matter, sharpening the axe won't delay the woodcutting."

"As long as it can help me earn more money, wasting some time to practice these martial arts is fine."

But now that he had cultivated Excavation Palm to level 10, Zhang Yu naturally wouldn't continue to practice this technique.

And because the Feather Book's cooldown time hadn't passed yet, he continued to cultivate level 10 Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi, striving to enhance his physical strength.

...

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

In these five days, Zhang Yu had not only trained Excavation Palm and Roadster Legs to level 10, but he had also bought Crane Claw and Elevator Leap, cultivating them all to level 10 respectively.

Adding in the expenses for food, transportation, and other costs over these five days caused Zhang Yu's savings to dwindle. Fortunately, he tutored Song Hailong twice, which allowed Zhang Yu to maintain his savings at over 15,000.

At this moment, after asking Zhang Pianpian for another Invisibility Talisman and using Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi to alter his appearance, Zhang Yu embarked on the road to the trial lesson.

Unlike the last time when he had to rely on running to reach his destination, this time Zhang Yu used the Roadster Legs technique during his journey.

He could feel the mana within his body rumbling, emitting a buzzing sound like a car engine.

With the mana infused, his legs swung at high speed, and his entire being blurred into a series of afterimages as he sped away.

"Compared to Excavation Palm and Crane Claw, Roadster Legs and Elevator Leap are much more useful."

Thinking of how Excavation Palm at level 10 could shovel twice as much material, and how Crane Claw at level 10 could use both claws simultaneously to lift heavy objects... Zhang Yu felt speechless.

"Like Excavation Palm, long pre-attack buildup, slow movements, unsuitable for combat, just menial techniques for labor."

In comparison, Roadster Legs and Elevator Leap were much more cost-effective.

As common techniques for deliverymen, Roadster Legs used mana to infuse the legs for accelerated movement, running like the wind. Without the need for cars or electric scooters, it allowed deliverymen to quickly traverse the city and arrive on time.

Elevator Leap could use mana to constrict the muscles, allowing the body to explode with tremendous leaping power like a spring. This allowed deliverymen to avoid frustration when facing buildings without elevators, leaping repeatedly to reach their target floor, delivering both themselves and the goods.

"Speaking of which, this is the first time I've cultivated a lightness skill. This thing really makes daily life much more convenient."

Thinking of the level 10 effects of these two techniques, he couldn't help but smile, marveling at their practicality.

Level 10 Roadster Legs could use mana to protect the soles of shoes, reducing wear and tear and decreasing the frequency of shoe replacement.

Level 10 Elevator Leap could transform vertical jumping into horizontal long jumping, helping countless deliverymen jump over traffic lights and congested traffic, delivering goods on time.

At this moment, Zhang Yu's mana rose from his dantian, infusing his legs and abdomen. With a contraction of his muscles, his entire being suddenly leaped up, traversing a distance of over twenty meters, jumping over the traffic light in front of him.

"With these Roadster Legs and Elevator Leap, each time I go to tutoring, it will probably take me only thirty to forty minutes to reach my destination."

"As my mana becomes more abundant and my physical strength becomes more powerful, my movement speed and jumping distance will also become stronger, and it will be even faster then..."

The doll hanging under Zhang Yu's neck watched this scene, still feeling incredulous.

The doll thought to itself, "No... although these four martial arts are simple, they've all reached level 10 in such a short period of time?"

"Is this kid really the potential I stimulated?"

"Then I want to give myself a boost too, how is this done?"

In these five days, besides cultivating these four new martial arts, Zhang Yu had spent most of his time diligently practicing Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi.

Unfortunately, without the enhancement of Primordial Pills, and having to divide his attention to other things, his physical strength had only increased to level 1.98 in five days.

"I really want to eat Primordial Pills. Practicing without pills feels like I'm losing out."

...

He arrived at the small building in the park again.

The middle-aged man who had greeted Zhang Yu last time had been waiting for a long time. He looked at Zhang Yu and smiled, "You've arrived?"

"Speaking of which, I still don't know what to call you, sir?"

Zhang Yu casually said, "Just call me Ma Yunteng. What about you? What should I call you?"

The other party said, "You can call me Black Crow. Please come with me, the teachers are already waiting for you."

Zhang Yu followed him to a hidden door, entered the underground tutoring base, and saw that it was heavily guarded, with security every five steps and a post every ten steps.

However, from the various tattoos on these security guards, such as 'Study Hard Every Day', 'Secretly Learn', and 'Everyone Tutors', it was clear that they were all gang members of the Dark Learning Gang.

What Zhang Yu found strange was... each of these gang members had a number 0 displayed above their heads, making Zhang Yu wonder what this number 0 meant.

Suddenly, a security guard with -122 above his head jogged past. The -122 above his head kept changing, from -122 to -123, then to -124.

Zhang Yu couldn't help but ask, "What does the number above their heads mean?"

Upon hearing this, Black Crow happily smiled and said, "This is a job monitoring system developed in cooperation with the True Gods after the gang's corporatization. Wages will be deducted if they are away from their posts for too long. He's deducted so much... maybe he has diarrhea?"

Zhang Yu twitched his lips: "Isn't that too strict?"

Black Crow smiled faintly and said, "These days, anyone with a little ambition is heavily in debt. It's just a matter of deducting some wages at work, it's a necessary test for young people."

Zhang Yu smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, this gang is really like working."

Black Crow's eyes lit up and he said, "Thank you for your praise. The gang leader has been committed to formalizing and corporatizing the Dark Learning Gang, hoping to become a new company and enter the city center in the future."

Speaking, he sighed, "After all, if they couldn't find a good job, who would willingly join a gang? Once you join a gang, your resume is completely ruined, and you'll never have the chance to enter a large company again."

Good heavens... Zhang Yu understood. So, gangs are for people who can't find jobs? Is this an unemployment assistance association?

Black Crow said towards the front, "The tutoring classroom is ahead. The toilets are on the left and right. If you continue down the stairs, there are training rooms, bathrooms, and a cafeteria..."

Just as Black Crow was introducing the facilities, a commotion came from the classroom entrance not far away.

Zhang Yu turned his head and saw a poster that read: Enroll in the White Dragon Teaching Class, enjoy the teaching life of the No. 1 High School all night long. During the day, you may just be an ordinary student in an ordinary high school, but at night you can be a White Dragon person and enjoy the joy of rapid academic improvement.

Below the poster, a student complained: "The teacher is so gentle that even poor students don't have to kneel. What kind of White Dragon class is this? I paid to experience the teaching quality of a famous school. What's the difference between this and studying in an ordinary high school during the day..."

Zhang Yu was shocked. There are people who pay to experience the teaching life of White Dragon High School? But the next moment he felt ridiculous for his shock.

"Isn't that obvious? With my understanding of these obsessed students and obsessed parents in Songyang City... If paying could allow them to experience the teaching life of White Dragon High School, even if it's just an advertising effect, there would definitely be people lining up to pay."

...

At the same time.

Inside another classroom.

Several teachers were chatting while smoking.

An old man with white hair and the words 'One Lesson a Day' tattooed on his arm took a deep breath and exhaled the smoke of a Dao Heart Buffer.

Dao Heart Buffers, as an important medicine for enhancing Dao Hearts, and because of their extremely addictive nature, have been widely circulated in Kunxu and have been made into different types such as cigarettes, alcohol, and beverages for people to use.

After taking a few more puffs, the old man said, "How is this new teacher? I heard he might be from a key high school."

Opposite the old man, a middle-aged woman with a scar on her face said coldly, "What kind of top students do key high schools accept? Those students are rich and intelligent themselves. Having taught such students, can he teach the dregs? Has he been in contact with trash who score below 450?"

"With the grades of most of the students here, if they were thrown into a key high school... they would all be school traitors. Can he teach them?"

Another middle-aged man over 3 meters tall was practicing martial arts in a rigid manner. His exaggerated muscles were covered with needle holes, indicating that he was a body refiner.

The middle-aged man over 3 meters tall snorted: "A key high school teacher wants to teach Excavation Palm and Roadster Legs?"

"Has he worked on a construction site? Has he delivered takeout? Does he have the ability to teach them?"

"I've been working as a construction worker for 11 years, and Car Woman has 8 years of takeout experience. Can he be more familiar with these two martial arts than us?"

The old man didn't have such strong opinions, and smiled: "After all, he's an expert who can cultivate Limitless Cloud Hand to level 10. Let's wait and see."

A moment later, Black Crow walked in with Zhang Yu and introduced him to everyone: "This is Ma Yunteng, Teacher Ma, who will be giving a trial lesson today."

Black Crow pointed to the old man and said, "This is Cai Tou, who has taught Limitless Cloud Hand."

"This is Car Woman, who is at level 10 Roadster Legs."

"This is Big Shovel, who is at level 10 Excavation Palm."

Zhang Yu understood upon hearing this that these three, like him, were using code names, and were obviously hiding their identities like him, and even their current appearances might not be real.

Zhang Yu nodded slightly and said, "Thank you all."

The Big Shovel, who was over three meters tall, curled his lips and said, "Everyone's time is precious, so let's start the class quickly."

Zhang Yu agreed with this very much, and directly activated the Faceless Cloud罡, and in an instant, the clouds around his body were misty, like an immortal.

"Then I'll talk about Limitless Cloud Hand first."
