You dare to cultivate without money?!
Chapter 123 - 123 101 Purchasing a Concealing Talisman on the Eve of the Competition Vote for Monthly Tickets

123: Chapter 101: Purchasing a Concealing Talisman on the Eve of the Competition (Vote for Monthly Tickets) 123: Chapter 101: Purchasing a Concealing Talisman on the Eve of the Competition (Vote for Monthly Tickets) Upon hearing what Lanling said, Zhang Yu asked, “What are the selection criteria?

Why don’t we meet them?”

Lanling gave them a cold glance and replied indifferently, “The initial investment requires at least three million.

Do you have that?”

Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen were immediately stumped.

Where would they get that kind of money?

Even if they had it, they definitely wouldn’t invest in a student council-led project.

Seeing Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen not reply, Lanling thought to himself, “Is it really because they have no money?

It seems Zhang Pianpian knows her limits well and didn’t support them joining the special cultivation plan.”

After saying this, Lanling turned and left, seemingly unconcerned about the remaining matters of the competition team.

Zhang Yu, however, asked again, “Hey, what about the other benefits of the competition team?

Doesn’t the school provide us with cultivation or subsidies?”

Without looking back, Lanling said, “That’s not my responsibility.

Go ask Wang Hai.”

Wang Hai approached Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen and said, “The sports competition for the second years is in two weeks, and Lanling and the others need to focus on body refinement and prepare for the competition.”

“I’ll explain the matters of the first-year competition team.”

Wang Hai smiled at the two of them and said, “I originally thought you two wouldn’t have a chance to compete, but you found another way and caught up.”

“Don’t worry, no need to explain to me; I know these things are under contract and can’t be casually disclosed.”

Clearly, Wang Hai assumed the two of them used some powerful Immortal Technique.

He continued, “The benefits for our competition team are plenty; I’ll explain them one by one.”

“Firstly, all members who join the competition team will receive a set of the Nine Dragons Needle Technique for free.”

Hearing this, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen’s eyes lit up.

Could they really get such a good cultivation technique for free?

Zhang Yu asked, “This Nine Dragons Needle Technique…

is it an acupuncture technique?

Is it a combat martial art?

Why does the sports competition team need to practice a combat martial art?”

Wang Hai smiled slightly and said, “The Nine Dragons Needle Technique is not a combat martial art, but a standard body refining technique.”

“It involves using mana to activate the needle tubes at 36 acupuncture points on the body with different techniques and needles, injecting different potions to maximize the body’s potential and enhance the body refining effect…”

Zhang Yu was stunned, thinking, “Damn, as expected of Songyang High School.

The style of the competition team is indeed consistent with the PE class refining style.”

Wang Hai continued, “The second benefit is discounted medicines.”

“The Nine Dragons Needle Technique requires nine different body refining medicines, and we happen to sell all nine here.

They’re all from major brands, offered at discounts to competition team members, letting you use them affordably and with peace of mind.”

Zhang Yu secretly shook his head.

Now he had no extra money to play with this Nine Dragons Needle Technique.

However, Bai Zhenzhen next to him listened intently, clearly interested.

After all, she was also a top student in body refinement who used medicines long-term.

Wang Hai continued, “The third benefit is that if competition team members purchase expert-level body refining techniques, they can apply for a cultivation technique subsidy from us.

Regular members get a 2,000 subsidy, but if you win a place in a competition, the subsidy is higher, up to 20,000.”

“The fourth benefit is that the training equipment here is available 24/7 for free; you just need to register your details later, and in the future, you can use your student card to enter.”

“The last benefit is that you can buy discounted food supplements from us, including various types of demon beast meat…”

Bai Zhenzhen immediately asked, “Can synthetic food be bought at a discount from you too?”

Synthetic food?

What kind of thing is that?

Can our competition team sell it?

Wang Hai initially wanted to say this, but seeing the expectant looks in Bai Zhenzhen and Zhang Yu’s eyes, and considering their poor status, he coughed and said, “Hmm, I can give you a 10% discount.”

Bai Zhenzhen immediately laughed.

Wang Hai thought to himself, “It’s just a matter of submitting an application.

Since these two kids are in the competition team, let them eat well and get better results for me.”

Zhang Yu silently thought, “It seems the third and last benefits are the most useful to us.”

“But the Red Marrow Primordial Qi was a reward given to me for free, so I can’t apply for a subsidy.”

“If I were to buy another expert-level body refining technique…

then I’ll have to think carefully.”

However, Zhang Yu’s goal must be the highest level of 20,000 subsidy, which means he’ll have to wait until the sports competition next month and win a place to talk about it.

But at this moment, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but ask, “For the subsidy, is it only for body refining techniques?”

Wang Hai replied, “Of course, since we’re the sports competition team, if we don’t buy body refining techniques, are we supposed to buy practical combat techniques or breathing techniques and provide subsidies?”

After finishing the procedures to join the competition team, and each receiving an electronic secret book of the Nine Dragons Needle Technique and permission to use it from Wang Hai, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen left the stadium.

After all, with too many secrets on them now, it’s not suitable to stay here for refining.

…

That night.

Under the bridge, by the river.

After class, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen leaned against each other, staring at the talismanic book in their hands.

During this time, each tutoring session required them to ask Zhang Pianpian for talismans over the internet.

Now, after finishing tonight’s lesson, they finally saved up enough to purchase usage rights for the Concealing Talisman.

Bai Zhenzhen said, “Yu Zi, I’ve transferred 20,000 to you.

Whenever I want to use the Concealing Talisman in the future, you better make one for me.”

Zhang Yu patted his chest beside her and said, “Brothers for life.

I’d never go back on my word, especially not with you.

Don’t worry, whenever you need it, I’ll make the talisman.”
