120: Chapter 98 Yu Zi, I Decided Not to Rent a House Anymore!

In the small woods of the school, just as Zhang Yu activated the Red Marrow Primordial Qi, waves of mystical energy immediately swept towards his entire flesh and blood.

Especially after the Red Marrow Primordial Qi tempered every piece of flesh, internal organs, and bones in his body.

The True Spirit Root seemed to be adapting to this situation as well, continuously infusing mystical energy into each part of Zhang Yu’s training, in coordination with the Red Marrow Primordial Qi, accelerating the vigorous growth of Zhang Yu’s body.

Cultivation, after all, was historically practiced by those with a Spirit Root.

At this moment, truly using the Spirit Root for cultivation, Zhang Yu felt the difference between the two profoundly, feeling the additional boost to physical growth from the infusion of robust mystical energy into flesh, working with Body Refinement.

And aside from that…

“Hm?” Zhang Yu sensed the strands of mystical energy pouring towards his spine and the area around it, as if many small hands were stimulating and nurturing something.

“Is this…

the nerves?

Is the mystical energy stimulating and nurturing my nerves?”

“But my Red Marrow Primordial Qi shouldn’t have this effect on the nerves, right?”

“Is it a function of the True Spirit Root?”

Being able to have additional Body Refinement effects during the cultivation of the Red Marrow Primordial Qi, Zhang Yu felt naturally pleased.

Even when Zhang Yu wasn’t cultivating the Red Marrow Primordial Qi, the Spirit Root continued to infuse mystical energy into his body.

And perhaps because it was used for a sufficient length of time, after school when Zhang Yu returned the Spirit Root to Bai Zhenzhen, he could feel his body like it did when using the muscle-enhancing Spirit Root, continuing to grow rapidly for a while.

…

After Bai Zhenzhen retrieved the Spirit Root, she immediately felt a discomfort, as if there was something inside her belly that didn’t quite fit.

At the same time, Bai Zhenzhen felt mystical energy being infused into all her muscles, internal organs, and bones, nurturing her flesh with a special frequency, gradually strengthening her muscles, internal organs, and bones.

“Mystical energy is being infused into the places I don’t usually train…”

“This isn’t my Body Refinement method, it’s more like the effect of Yu Zi’s Red Marrow Primordial Qi.”

“Sure enough, the True Spirit Root has adapted to Zhang Yu’s body and changed…”

Bai Zhenzhen tried to activate her Body Refining Technique, Thunderbolt True Body.

For the sake of Immortal Path cultivation, most of Bai Zhenzhen’s money, besides loans, medicine, and food, was spent on cultivation techniques.

This Thunderbolt True Body was a Body Refining Technique she bought for a full 120,000, capable of using mana to refine the body with lightning.

It enhances physical strength while focusing on boosting a cultivator’s nerve response, movement speed, and explosive power.

And at this moment, when Bai Zhenzhen summoned the Thunderbolt True Body again, she felt the True Spirit Root also draw mystical energy, assisting in the cultivation of the Thunderbolt True Body.

“Could this be happening?”

A trace of excitement flashed in Bai Zhenzhen’s eyes: “The True Spirit Root adapted to Zhang Yu’s body, and now it’s adapting to my body too, equivalent to overlaying the phenomenon of mystical energy infusion from Zhang Yu cultivating Red Marrow Primordial Qi onto me?”

At this moment, Bai Zhenzhen felt that after her Body Refinement, besides the effects of the Thunderbolt True Body, there was an additional enhancement in all her muscles, internal organs, and bones.

“Then conversely, if I lend the Spirit Root to Yu Zi again, he can also overlay some of my cultivation effects, right?”

“If we keep interchangeably training with each other every day, wouldn’t this adaptation lead to increasingly stronger combined effects?”

“Wouldn’t that mean one person having the cultivation effects of two?”

“Then my marks and competition ranking would advance rapidly, wouldn’t they?”

“Punching Hai Long with fists, kicking Mu Lan with feet, dominating Songyang with Yu Zi!”

At this thought, Bai Zhenzhen’s emotions surged.

“However, to conveniently do this, we still have to co-rent a place and go to school and work together every day, so that we can exchange the Spirit Root at any time.”

Having made up her mind, Bai Zhenzhen resolved: “Alright, then we’ll look for a house tomorrow!”

…

After school the next day, Bai Zhenzhen began house hunting with Zhang Yu.

Starting from Songyang High School in the city center, with the outskirts’ Dark Study Gang district as the endpoint, they began their search along this line.

In a basement at the edge of the city, the real estate agent said: “This basement is a hot commodity, with electricity, internet, and water.

You can crawl out of the sewer to the subway, and you don’t have to worry about sunlight interfering with cultivation.

It’s just that the rent is a bit high, it’s 20,000 a month…”

Continuing towards the outskirts, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen found a pretty decent garage.

The landlord said: “This is a good location.

Originally, the rent was 5,000 a month, but since you’re students, if you’re sincere about renting, I can waive the rent, but you’ll need to put down a deposit of a million.”

“Don’t have that much money?

You can get a loan.

Or, are you from Songyang High School?

If you’re willing, one arm as collateral from each of you will work.”

They continued searching towards the city outskirts, reaching an apartment.

The landlord, holding a bunch of keys, impatiently said: “You’re renting a place to store things, not for cultivation.

If you want to cultivate, go to the gym or the training field.

The rent won’t decrease either; I still have to fund my son’s university education.

Do you know he’s a university student?”

Outside a construction site filled with shipping containers, the ground was littered with cigarette butts and beer bottles.

Before getting close, Zhang Yu smelled a strong scent of Dao Heart Buffering Agent, indicating that the residents here extensively consumed Dao Heart Buffering Agent.

Zhang Yu shook his head: “No, I’ve quit Dao Heart Buffering Agent; staying here might get me addicted again.”

As the two walked along the overpass, Bai Zhenzhen suddenly said: “Yu Zi, a poor person can’t spend money recklessly.”

“But from my decades of experience living as a poor person…

I’ve learned one thing: the more you want to rent a satisfactory house, the more exploitative it becomes.

To avoid being exploited, there’s only one solution…”

Zhang Yu curiously asked: “What solution?”

Bai Zhenzhen, with determination, said: “Yu Zi!

I’ve decided not to rent a house!”

Zhang Yu, surprised, asked: “If we don’t rent, where will we live?”

Bai Zhenzhen pointed at the small stream under the overpass and said: “Can’t people live in that bridge hole?”

Zhang Yu: “Huh?”

Bai Zhenzhen replied: “Not choosing this bridge hole is also fine; we’ll settle wherever looks nice.”

“I’ve thought it through carefully.

Water…

we can drink at school and carry some with us.”

“Electricity…

we can charge up either at Dark Study Gang or at school.”

“Food…

we’re buying synthetic food from the cafeteria anyway.”

“We don’t need sleep, and we can wash in this river by the bridge hole.”

“This overpass in the outskirts has lorries passing all day, creating noisy disturbances, so our training sounds won’t disturb others.”

“We’ll practice here and rest, attend school during the day, go to Dark Study Gang at night.

What do you say?”

The more Bai Zhenzhen spoke, the more energized she became: “Instead of giving money to landlords and agents, isn’t it better to buy more food, avoiding us being exploited by the wealthy?”

“We cultivators should make the sky our canopy, the earth our seat, live in bridge holes, occupy woods, inhabit unfinished buildings, investing all our money into cultivation!

I’ve wanted to do this for a long time!”

Zhang Yu also considered the feasibility: “But what about our stuff?

If we leave it here, someone might take it, right?”

Bai Zhenzhen replied: “For important or frequently used stuff, carry them in a backpack.”

“Unimportant or seldom-used items, either sell them or pack them in a box and store them in the classroom since there’s surveillance, and the people at school shouldn’t steal.”

Undeniably, Zhang Yu felt it made some sense.

Both he and Bai Zhenzhen were high school students who didn’t sleep anymore and possessed little, so they could cultivate and rest anywhere they reached.

As a result, a few days later, Bai Zhenzhen and Zhang Yu both vacated their rental apartments.

After school, they took synthetic food, filled up bottles of water, and found random places to cultivate until nightfall when they went to the district to tutor, and in the daylight attended school.

Thus, day by day life went on…

…

In the small woods of the Dark Study Gang district.

Zhang Yu was cultivating the Red Marrow Primordial Qi, seeing torrents of mystical energy surging, along with each exertion of muscles, continuously strengthening his muscles, internal organs, bones, while gradually nurturing his nervous system.

At the same time, the fierce effects of the Primordial Pill constantly nourished Zhang Yu’s body, making the operation of his Red Marrow Primordial Qi smoother.

Under the support of the True Spirit Root and Primordial Pill, Zhang Yu felt that his physical strength had been improving rapidly during this time.

Just then, hearing his phone alarm, Zhang Yu quietly said: “Is it class time?”

To make the most out of the True Spirit Root, during this time, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen tried to have the Dark Study Gang stagger class times for them, allowing one to attend class while the other utilized the Spirit Root for cultivation.

In the Dark Study Gang’s classroom at this moment, Bai Zhenzhen couldn’t wait to come out as soon as the class ended.

The corridor’s female car driver greeted her: “Mr.

Le, off to find Mr.

Ma again?

With both of you commuting daily, have you considered buying a car?”

Le Mulan, was Bai Zhenzhen’s alias in the realm of dark tutoring.

Bai Zhenzhen waved her hand and said: “What car?

Riding him is faster and cheaper, I’m not letting the company exploit me!”

Bai Zhenzhen found Zhang Yu in the small woods and eagerly ran over, joyfully thinking: “My precious Spirit Root, I’m here!”

She lightly touched Zhang Yu’s back; feeling a warmth in her belly, the True Spirit Root had transferred to her body, making Bai Zhenzhen feel an all-over comfort.

Zhang Yu patted his somewhat empty stomach and waved to Bai Zhenzhen, who had started training: “I’ll go to class then, make the most of your practice time.”

…

Under the bridge.

Bai Zhenzhen got off Zhang Yu’s (vehicle) and couldn’t wait to jump into the nearby river to bathe.

Zhang Yu, after taking off his clothes, packed them up on the side, as they were to be sent to Lian Tianji tomorrow.

Although his tutoring income wasn’t low now, there were still numerous expenses, so the income from selling clothes to Lian Tianji was still needed.

Next day.

Le Mulan opened the safe, looked at the clothes inside, sniffed lightly, furrowed his brows: “The recent clothes seem to always have another person’s scent.”

…

In the cafeteria.

Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen each hugged a large bucket, devouring the paste inside in large mouthfuls.

As their physical strength surged, their food expenses also skyrocketed.

Zhao Tianxing looked at them enviously: “Zhang Yu and Azhen now go to and from school together every day, saying they also train together after school, swapping the leased Spirit Root, their relationship is really good.

If only I also had a close beautiful female friend like that.”

Despite being sterilized, students like Zhao Tianxing still appreciated beauty.

Qian Shen also enviously looked at them: “So envious of Bai Zhenzhen, being able to train with Zhang Yu, the top in martial and fourth in magic competition, every day.

If only I had such an excellent study partner.”

As for the current grade first, He Dayou?

His body full of cash-bought dead muscles wasn’t impressive to Qian Shen at all.

But despite not finding it impressive, Qian Shen had to admit that now He Dayou’s physical strength was above all first-year students at Songyang High School.

“Even if it’s Zhang Yu, it would probably take until sophomore year to catch up, right?”

…

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed since the Martial Arts competition, coming up to the agreed time for Songyang High School’s competition team and Zhang Yu, Bai Zhenzhen, deciding the competition slots.

After school that day, Wang Hai and several PE teachers, along with students from the student council’s sports department, including Lanling, would witness the gap between He Dayou’s group and Zhang Yu, Bai Zhenzhen on the sports field.
