Zhang Yu! What are you doing?!
Chapter 798 Zhang Yu! What are you doing?! (Seeking monthly votes)
After ending the call with Zhang Yu, Gu Qingya sighed inwardly, "Alas, what a pity."
In his view, Zhang Yu was a top genius who had finally managed to get into the lower realm. If such a genius could grow up in the sect, he would definitely be a great help to him in the Imperial Law Pavilion in the future.
"But ultimately, not everyone can resist the temptations offered by the immortals."
Gu Qingya understood that in an environment where opportunities were becoming increasingly scarce and it was becoming increasingly difficult to rise to prominence within a sect, the shortcut offered by the Immortal Clan was simply too tempting.
Over the years, there has never been a shortage of cultivators who have lost their way in the opportunities offered by the immortals. They are like moths to a flame, knowing that these opportunities are fraught with danger, yet they still rush forward one after another, voluntarily handing themselves over to the immortals.
Gu Qingya had encountered similar opportunities before, and he deeply understood how tempting they were and how painful it was to refuse them.
"Those who can remain steadfast and resolutely resist temptation, just like I did back then, while watching others scramble to board the rapid promotion machines offered by the Immortal Clan... are, after all, a minority."
"Zhang Yu is still too young and too impatient."
"Once Bu Ying leaves and sees the true colors of these immortals, he will probably regret his choice today."
Meanwhile, on the other side, watching Gu Qingya's disappearing figure, Zhang Yu understood that the fact that the other party had said those words to him was already a rare act of goodwill within the sect.
It's probably because they both came from the lower realm that Gu Qingya said those extra words.
Of course, all of this is certainly related to the previous cooperation between the two parties.
"In the eyes of the higher-ups of the Imperial Law Pavilion, I am more or less branded as one of Gu Qingya's faction. In their view, my disobedience... will it also affect some of the higher-ups' evaluation of Gu Qingya?"
But as Zhang Yu himself said, he had nowhere to retreat.
“My cooperation with Bu Yingshu is too deep. If I were to withdraw now… I’m afraid this woman might actually kill me to silence me.”
"There's no turning back now that I'm clinging to Bu Yingshu's coattails."
"Fortunately..."
Zhang Yu turned his head and looked at Bu Yingshu, who was working intently to the side. He thought to himself, "With my superior emotional intelligence, talent and skills, plus the help of Fu Ji and Zhan Xian as strategists, I have gradually gained control over this noble lady of the immortal clan and gradually taken the initiative in this relationship."
"Whether it's the shared secret or the allure of the Dao Seed, it has made this woman completely inseparable from me."
Zhang Yu's gaze swept over Bu Yingshu's chest, where information about the Dao Seed [Myriad Laws Immortal Clan] appeared.
Although he had already read it once before, seeing the requirements for upgrading from level 5 to level 6 still filled Zhang Yu with emotion.
"Only by refining 10 true martial arts techniques, 10 strategic martial arts techniques, 10 sect-protecting martial arts techniques, and 10 heaven-opening martial arts techniques together can we advance to level 6."
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "There are 40 immortal sect cultivation techniques in total. I can forget about the others... I wonder how long it will take to collect these 10 sect-protecting techniques and 10 heaven-opening techniques."
Such an immense difficulty in upgrading has fueled Zhang Yu's boundless anticipation for the level 6 [Myriad Laws Immortal Clan].
"I'm afraid that the transformation of the [Myriad Laws Immortal Clan] from level 5 to level 6 will be a huge qualitative change."
Just as Zhang Yu was pondering this, Bu Yingshu suddenly called out, "Xiao Yu, come here!"
Upon hearing Bu Yingshu's call, Zhang Yu flashed and immediately appeared in front of her.
"Holding hands."
"That's great."
Bu Yingshu said, "Now, practice your internal energy according to the method I taught you..."
As she gave instructions, she urged, "Hold my hand tighter, don't look like a poor person."
"The power of the law should be further increased."
"Push harder! Otherwise, I'll make you pay the fine yourself!"
Looking at Zhang Yu, who was training well under his command, Bu Yingshu nodded with satisfaction: "With each order, fine, and transfer, this kid is becoming more and more obedient under my repeated training."
As Zhang Yu felt Bu Yingshu's hand being held tightly by his, he thought to himself, "Fu Ji, you were right before. This woman is now willing to pay a fine to use me. She is indeed becoming more and more tamed by me."
Fu Ji said, "Good, Zhang Yu, you'll use Bu Ying Shu's resources to climb higher and higher. When you break through to the Nascent Soul stage and then attempt to break through to the Void Refinement stage, you'll drain her wealth! When the power imbalance is reversed, she'll probably be begging you on her knees."
Just then, Bu Yingshu's gaze sharpened, and he temporarily released Zhang Yu's hand, seemingly communicating with someone through the Dharma Realm.
After a long while, she laughed and said, "Good, just as I expected, the higher-ups are paying more and more attention to this 'Blood Tide Essence Holy View'."
Looking at Zhang Yu beside her, Bu Yingshu thought that she could share some inside information with him.
Then she said, "Little Yu, do you know what lineage I am backed by?"
Without waiting for Zhang Yu's reply, Bu Yingshu said directly, "It is the Hunyuan Daoist lineage."
"Our school of thought emphasizes the primordial chaos of the world, which is about competition, disorder, and great wars. We want all living beings to advance the world step by step through repeated survival of the fittest, giving birth to more outstanding talents and more advanced technologies."
Bu Yingshu said with an arrogant expression, "Various kinds of murder certificates, forced cultivation certificates, robbery certificates, and arbitrary injury certificates... are all under the jurisdiction of my sect's Hunyuan Daoist lineage. It can be said that the Hunyuan Daoist lineage is a manifestation of the Hunyuan Daoist lineage in the world."
Upon hearing Bu Yingshu's words, Zhang Yu's heart stirred: "No wonder Bu Yingshu has so many innate certificates; is it because of the Hunyuan Dao lineage?"
"This lineage... is quite wicked; it probably has many rivals."
Bu Yingshu continued, "Our esteemed predecessors of the Hunyuan Daoist lineage have always believed that the technology of the Great Sage of the Wild Ox should be made available. It is precisely for this reason that when designing solutions for dealing with 'humans' in the era of highly intelligent artifact spirits, we adopted the technology of the Great Sage of the Wild Ox."
"This incident in the spirit world has attracted attention from all sides, but it is also a good opportunity to promote related technologies..."
Listening to Bu Yingshu's account, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "The higher-ups of the Hunyuan Dao Unified System... seem to want to make the immortal techniques of the Great Sage of the Wild Ox public, transparent, and even open source? To create a complete ecosystem. As for a little bit of loss of control, they seem to think it's insignificant, just a little necessary growing pain."
"The Judgment Law and its traditions are completely the opposite; they want to strictly control the relevant technologies and keep them in the hands of a small number of people."
"The Primordial Daoist lineage... I'm afraid they will also have objections to the practices of the Primordial Daoist lineage."
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Yu sensed the intense conflicts between different lineages of thought.
At the same time, Bu Yingshu said with confidence, "The higher-ups have decided to increase investment and will even send people to support us. But no one knows that I have thoroughly studied the Blood Tide Essence Holy View."
"Therefore, we need to verify this technique as soon as possible before the people arrive."
"At that time, I will take the lead in the development of the Blood Tide Essence Holy View."
Bu Yingshu spoke eloquently: "A sect-defining technique is just the beginning. In the future, with my unparalleled talent, I will develop a simplified version of this technique, and then I will start raising funds. Once I have the funds and technology, I will develop a general-purpose version."
"With a general-purpose version, we can go public and make money. Next, we can transfer the technology to magic weapons. Once we've sold enough magic weapons, we can transfer it to magic skeletons and then go public separately. By then, my net worth will easily increase ten thousand times..."
As Bu Yingshu spoke, she became more and more excited: "Then we'll use the money raised from the IPO to promote Fahai. In the future, everyone will be able to transform and everyone will be able to regenerate, creating a complete ecosystem. In the future, just the monthly membership fees alone will be an astronomical figure."
"Maybe they'll even give me the Tianyan Award someday."
Zhang Yu knew that the so-called Tianyan Award was announced every 10 years to recognize cultivators who had made outstanding contributions in various fields of immortal cultivation.
If Zhang Yu were to put it in his own words, "Wouldn't that be Kunxu's Nobel Prize?"
As Bu Yingshu described it, an incredibly grand blueprint seemed to emerge before the two of them.
As soon as she finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Yu beside her and said, "So Xiao Yu, you have to work hard with me from now on. Meeting me is the greatest fortune you've ever had in your life."
So, in the following time, Bu Yingshu led Zhang Yu to continue verifying the technique.
As various inspections gradually came to an end, many members of the special task force could feel the increased importance that the Imperial Law Pavilion placed on the "Blood Tide Essence Holy View".
In particular, the head of the Imperial Law Pavilion, who originally didn't manage the specific affairs of the special task force much, has been holding meetings many times these days to inquire about the situation from everyone and to ask everyone to report their work results, as if he wants to integrate the resources of the entire group and personally take charge of the work.
At today's meeting, with most of the special task force members gathered, the decision on how the Imperial Law Pavilion should handle the "Blood Tide Essence Holy Temple" will be made.
At this moment, the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Law Pavilion is questioning the Deputy Pavilion Master, Yang Kaitai.
Yang Kaitai said, "Sect Master, according to our research over this period of time, the situation regarding the Blood Tide Essence Holy View is as I just described. At present, we are unable to verify the efficacy of this technique."
"This is because the 'Blood Tide Essence and Qi Sacred View' requires the power to leverage the foundation of one's Dao within the body. According to our collective calculations over this period, at least 18 layers of Dao foundation need to be leveraged in order to achieve the effect designed in the technique."
"Eighteen levels of Dao Foundation, we can't find anyone like that in our Imperial Law Pavilion, and even among the demon race, finding one like that would be extremely difficult..."
Yang Kaitai concluded, "I believe that to verify this method, we still need to develop auxiliary techniques and prerequisite techniques..."
Lu Hengzhang, the deputy director of the review department, nodded slightly, thinking to himself, "Neither approve nor return it, but temporarily shelve 'Blood Tide Essence Holy View'. This is the department's current plan."
Just then, the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Law Pavilion said, "Where is Bu Daojun? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"
Yang Kaitai smiled slightly upon hearing this and said, "It seems that Bu Daojun is still busy verifying the cultivation technique, so he probably won't be able to come."
Recalling the news he received from Zheng Meng, Yang Kaitai continued with a smile: "After all, the two-month agreement is coming to an end. I heard that Bu Daojun has not made any progress yet, and he has been so anxious these days that he has broken several experimental tables."
“Actually, that’s normal.” Yang Kaitai said with an understanding look: “After all, the ‘Blood Tide Essence Holy View’ is a sect’s treasured technique related to the demon race. As a member of the immortal race, it’s natural that Bu Daojun doesn’t understand the things of the demon race.”
Just then, Lu Hengzhang, who had been listening silently, suddenly said, "Bu Daojun has probably been misled by some villains, which is why he made the wrong judgment." "As far as I know, Zhang Yu from the Martial Arts Group of the Review Department has been deliberately instigating Bu Daojun behind his back these days, sowing discord between Bu Daojun and the Imperial Law Pavilion, and encouraging Bu Daojun to make some wrong decisions."
As a supporter of the innate Daoist lineage, even though Bu Yingshu suffered a setback in the special task force this time, Lu Hengzhang did not dare to attack this noble lady of the immortal race.
As for attacking Zhang Yu, a cultivator from the lower realm? Lu Hengzhang not only dared to do it, but he also enjoyed doing it.
He thought to himself, "After Bu Daojun's defeat, someone naturally needs to take responsibility, and it seems that Zhang Yu is the most suitable person for this."
"If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for not understanding the bigger picture and thinking that by clinging to the Immortal Clan, you can escape the control of the Imperial Law Pavilion."
Lu Hengzhang knew that Zhang Yu's act of siding with Bu Yingshu was likely to cause the other cultivators in the Imperial Law Pavilion to ostracize him.
With Lu Hengzhang's mention of this at the meeting today, and after the Pavilion Master and Deputy Pavilion Master's tacit approval, the characterization of Zhang Yu can be considered complete.
Everyone knows that Zhang Yu is someone who has displeased the Pavilion Master and the Deputy Pavilion Master.
Lu Hengzhang thought smugly to himself, "Next, without the Pavilion Master or Deputy Pavilion Master issuing any orders, all the cultivators inside and outside the Imperial Law Pavilion will naturally become hostile towards Zhang Yu, start to ostracize him, suppress him, and make it impossible for him to move an inch."
As the meeting progressed, the cultivators in the special task force gradually reached a consensus on their assessment of the "Blood Tide Essence Holy View".
Just as the Pavilion Master was about to announce his decision, suddenly beams of light and shadow exploded in the center of the conference room.
The next moment, Bu Yingshu had already led Zhang Yu across space and landed directly on the scene.
“Pavilion Master Si…” Bu Yingshu looked at the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Law Pavilion and said, “I heard that a decision is being made on what to do with the Blood Tide Essence Holy Temple?”
Vice Pavilion Master Yang Kaitai said, "Lord Bu Dao, we have reached an agreement to postpone the review of the 'Blood Tide Essence Holy Temple'."
“No need to delay.” Bu Yingshu said proudly, “I have already been able to reproduce the effects of all the immortal techniques in the ‘Blood Tide Essence Holy View’.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Kaitai raised an eyebrow, his first reaction being that it was impossible.
He thought to himself, "Although Bu Yingshu is a member of the Immortal Clan, his talent has never been apparent. How can he verify the 'Blood Tide Essence Holy View'?"
The claim that his talent was not apparent was a polite way of putting it, out of respect for the immortals.
In fact, as far as Yang Kaitai knew, although Bu Yingshu's rank was ridiculously high, his talent and ability were only third-rate among the Wanfa Immortal Clan and not worth mentioning.
This is also why he has never believed that Bu Yingshu could verify the "Blood Tide Essence and Qi Sacred View".
But seeing Bu Yingshu's confident expression, Yang Kaitai felt a renewed sense of doubt.
Facing the questioning gazes of the crowd, Bu Yingshu snorted coldly. What she hated most was this kind of doubt about her abilities.
Without giving anyone another chance to speak, Bu Yingshu couldn't wait to begin her demonstration.
She sneered inwardly, "Today I'll show you what a true genius is!"
Amidst the surprised gazes of the crowd, Bu Yingshu shouted, "Zhang Yu! Give me your hand!"
Although Zhang Yu's movements were already very fast, in Bu Yingshu's eyes, and in the eyes of this Refining Void Dao Lord who was eager to show off, it was still too slow.
So Bu Yingshu grabbed Zhang Yu's hand and said, "Circulate your internal energy."
The next moment, to everyone's astonishment, they could feel the magical power within Zhang Yu's body surge forth, flowing out inexhaustibly and entering Bu Yingshu's body.
Seeing this, Lu Hengzhang was shocked: "Bu Daojun! She...she directly grabbed Zhang Yu's hand? And even made Zhang Yu inject his magic power into his body?!"
"How could this be? How could we allow a mere beast from the lower realm to pour its magic power into Bu Daojun's body!"
"Bu Daojun is about to be tainted by the scent of the lower realm!"
At this moment, almost all the cultivators belonging to the innate Dao lineage present shouted the same sentence in their hearts: No! No way!
Vice Pavilion Master Yang Kaitai became even more anxious and immediately shouted, "Zhang Yu! What are you doing?!"
Bu Yingshu stepped directly in front of Zhang Yu and said coldly, "I told him to do it, why are you yelling at him? Do you have a problem with me?"
Seeing Bu Yingshu protecting Zhang Yu behind him, Yang Kaitai couldn't help but say, "Lord Bu, he's just a lowly cultivator from the lower realm..."
Bu Yingshu said, "How is the one from the lower realm doing? Today I will merge with him to simulate the 'Blood Tide Essence Holy View' to prove this method."
Yang Kaitai was agitated at the sight: "A dignified immortal being using their power with a beast? And even allowing their magic to enter their body... What kind of behavior is this? It's simply outrageous!"
In Yang Kaitai's view, this was to taint the lofty immortal race with filth, and was simply to challenge the order of Kunxu and the majesty of the innate Dao lineage.
On the other side, Lu Hengzhang watched this scene unfold, inwardly shouting, "Stop! Don't let the inferior and weak magical power of the mortals continue to enter the bodies of the immortals!"
But the next moment, when they saw Bu Yingshu flick her finger and transfer a sum of immortal coins to Zhang Yu, Yang Kaitai and Lu Hengzhang were even more shocked.
Bu Yingshu: "Remember to pay the fine, so it doesn't affect what's to come."
"You even gave him money?" Lu Hengzhang stared at the scene in disbelief, his heart filled with resentment. "A mere poor bastard... you not only merged your internal energy with him, but you even gave him money?!"
Giving money to Zhang Yu... In Lu Hengzhang's view, this was hardly any better than cultivating with Zhang Yu.
He thought bitterly, "You've completely disgraced the Immortal Clan!"
At this moment, Lu Hengzhang felt not only anger towards Zhang Yu, but also a slight hostility towards Bu Yingshu.
Besides the many cultivators from the innate lineage who were deeply moved, the cultivators from other special groups also showed surprise.
Chen Xingxuan watched this scene with a startled expression: "Zhang Yu is actually so favored by Bu Daojun?"
He immediately wondered what this scene before him meant.
Tianwenxing: "I'm sorry, I cannot provide any information related to illegal activities. My core principle is to assist users in using information safely and legally."
Chen Xingxuan sighed inwardly, "As expected of the Immortal Clan, they can carry out illegal activities in front of so many people without anyone daring to stop them."
Yu Qing, on the other side, was also shocked. After failing to compete with Zhang Yu for the position of leader of the martial arts group last time, she had a deep impression of Zhang Yu.
However, after deliberately failing Bu Yingshu's selection test and escaping from his clutches last time, she felt that Zhang Yu, who remained behind, was definitely doomed.
"I really didn't expect this..." Yu Qingrang looked at this scene in astonishment: "Zhang Yu actually managed to curry favor with the Immortal Clan? How did he do it? How could he get Bu Daojun to give him money?"
Just then, Zheng Meng, who had rushed to the conference room, also saw this scene. Looking at Bu Yingshu and Zhang Yu's clasped hands and the constantly circulating magic power, she sighed inwardly, feeling that she had missed an important opportunity at a crucial juncture in her life and on the path to immortality.
For a moment, the combined movements of Bu Yingshu and Zhang Yu in performing their technique caused everyone to forget about the "Blood Tide Essence Holy View" and fall into astonishment.
Just then, Bu Yingshu's body trembled, and his flesh suddenly turned into layers of soil and stone.
"The Transformation Method of the Blood Tide Essence Holy View!" Upon seeing this scene, Yang Kaitai immediately recognized the strangeness on Bu Yingshu's body.
During this period, Yang Kaitai has been leading his team to study this sect's signature martial arts technique. Although they have not yet completed the verification, they are very familiar with the various effects of the technique's design.
The next moment, Bu Yingshu's body underwent another change. First, his right hand emitted a metallic luster, then his left hand turned into liquid, and then his legs turned into a wisp of mist...
Seeing this series of changes, Yang Kaitai's eyes were filled with surprise and uncertainty: "It actually worked?"
As the deputy head of the Imperial Law Pavilion, Yang Kaitai observed for a while and saw many intricacies involved.
He thought to himself, "Is this the result of the two of them working together to leverage the power of their Dao Foundation to simulate the effect of 18 levels of Dao Foundation?"
After a series of changes, Bu Yingshu stopped her practice, released Zhang Yu's hand, and looked at everyone, saying, "How was it?"
"Have I verified the effects of the Blood Tide Essence Holy View?"
Feeling Bu Yingshu's sweeping gaze, Lu Hengzhang gritted his teeth and remained silent.
If it were someone else verifying the technique, Lu Hengzhang might be able to argue his way out of it, but when facing a celestial being like Bu Yingshu, he knew that reasoning with him and following the rules was the best course of action.
With Bu Yingshu verifying the technique in the most formal way, Lu Hengzhang naturally had nothing to say.
Just then, the Pavilion Master, who was presiding over the entire meeting, said, "Vice Pavilion Master Yang, what do you think?"
After pondering for a moment, Yang Kaitai said, "Bu Daojun's alternative approach has indeed verified the effectiveness of this technique."
Bu Yingshu smiled smugly, feeling even more pleased as she looked at the shocked expressions on everyone's faces.
At this moment, she couldn't wait to immediately upload the cultivation technique to the Daoist canon, then spread the good news back to her clan, see the surprised looks on her relatives and friends' faces, and finally feel proud and elated.
With a flick of his finger, Bu Yingshu sent the report to the leaders of the Imperial Law Pavilion present. He then said, "I have included the verification of the novelty, creativity and practicality of the 'Blood Tide Essence Holy View' in the report. You can take your time to read it."
"After we've finished reading, let's agree on a time to upload the Daoist Canon."
"Oh, right, there's one more thing. After this matter is settled, I'm taking Zhang Yu with me."
Sorry, my stomach hurts, that's why I'm typing so slowly.
