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

Seeing Zhang Yu act like money was dirt, Zhou Chechen knew that this guy's appetite must be huge this time.

"Father and uncle will definitely bleed a lot to satisfy that Sixth Grade Deity."

"But Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, as the parties involved... also need to be settled."

Although Zhou Chechen had expected this, he felt a tightness in his chest at the thought of having to apologize to these two and give them a piece of the pie.

He never imagined that these two poor wretches, who were like ants in his eyes a year ago and whose heads he could easily hold down to sign a contract, would have grown to this point in less than a year.

"Is this the power of having a Sixth Grade Deity backing you?"

Zhou Chechen suddenly remembered some secrets his father had told him, that the real rich people at the top carefully refined their bloodline descendants, who owned shares from the moment they were born and became Level 5 Believers from birth.

He sighed in his heart, "In the end, this world is about background. The Zhou family is still too weak."

Zhou Chechen shook his head slightly, trying to shake off the distracting thoughts and frustration in his heart, and continued to speak to Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen gently, "I know that no amount of money can compensate for the emotional trauma you two have suffered."

"I am willing to give each of you 500,000 as a token of my sincerity..."

Zhang Yu waved his hand and said, "I said this isn't about money."

Bai Zhenzhen also said coldly, "Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have money? That you can break the law?"

Zhou Chechen wanted to slam the table and shout, 'Or what?'

But when he thought of the company's shutdown due to the lockdown, the losses it was incurring every minute, his father's repeated instructions, and the family resources he had consumed since childhood... Zhou Chechen finally lowered his proud neck.

He bowed again and said, "I'm sorry, you two, I really don't mean to buy you off with money."

"This 500,000, no, I'll give each of you 1 million, just to express my apology, without requiring any statement from you."

Saying this, Zhou Chechen, who was extremely frustrated, suddenly kicked Yue Jincheng hard in the chest again and said coldly, "See how much trouble your madness has brought to Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen."

"Bring me both of your phones."

Hearing this, Yue Jincheng and Si Zhouyu's faces twitched, and they struggled to hand over their phones.

Zhou Chechen took their phones and said, "Today, I'll take the lead and have them each compensate you 500,000 to express their apologies."

Yue Jincheng and Si Zhouyu's expressions froze when they heard this, feeling their hearts bleed.

Si Zhouyu's gaze towards Yue Jincheng was full of resentment, regretting even more that he hadn't stopped him at the time.

Zhang Yu's heart fluttered. Zhou Chechen's 1 million, plus these two's 500,000, meant that he and Bai Zhenzhen would each receive 1.5 million, for a total of 3 million.

Although he was already looking forward to how he would use this cash, Zhang Yu remained calm on the surface, looking coldly at Zhou Chechen, seemingly completely uninterested in the 1.5 million.

Zhou Chechen continued, "I know that you two have lost a lot of cultivation time. I will find a way to compensate you as soon as I get back to school..."

According to Zhou Chechen, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen would not have to abide by the school's various rules and could arrange their classes as they pleased.

Not only could they freely come and go from general knowledge courses such as math and language, but it wouldn't matter if they didn't attend martial arts, physical education, Taoism, or mana classes. Zhang Yu's after-school Taoism tutoring would also be canceled directly...

In addition, all kinds of school benefits would be given to them first.

For example, they would receive three doses of the potion distributed in physical education class every day, they could borrow the spiritual roots in the school for 100 hours for free every month, they could also request any martial arts teacher to spar with them for a certain amount of time for free, and there were also the school's Spirit Realm training qualifications...

Although Bai Zhenzhen knew that Zhou Chechen was using the school's resources to give them benefits, she still felt a stir in her heart when she heard that she could have one-on-one tutoring with the martial arts teachers.

She thought to herself, "Before fighting Yun Jing, if I can spar with those Qi Refining Peak martial arts teachers every day, it will definitely greatly help me improve my combat power."

And Zhang Yu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard about borrowing spiritual roots for 100 hours for free every month, and the Spirit Realm training qualifications.

The blessing of various spiritual roots was always welcome for Zhang Yu, who had no spiritual root.

Spirit Realm training was also something he needed now that his Taoist heart had declined.

Especially if these things were provided for free, they would be even more attractive to Zhang Yu, who was currently penniless.

Zhang Yu said lightly, "Are you sure these are all provided for free? Until I graduate?"

Faced with Zhang Yu's question, Zhou Chechen, of course, patted his chest and guaranteed it. These resources were very expensive for outsiders, but for the school itself, they were just a matter of allocating existing resources.

And with the Zhou family's help, Zhou Chechen could naturally interfere with the allocation of resources in Songyang High School, which was under the Wanxing Group.

He thought to himself, "Anyway, the idle spiritual roots are just sitting there. I might as well lend them to these two for free."

"As for the Spirit Realm, I can only reluctantly give up my and Lan Ling's spots."

"The teacher part is simple, just schedule a few more courses for them to guide Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen."

Zhang Yu said, "It's useless to just listen to your guarantee. Let's sign a contract."

Zhou Chechen was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that he had failed to force Zhang Yu to sign a contract before, but now he was going to be forced to sign a contract by Zhang Yu.

He forced a smile and said, "No problem."

Just then, Fuki reminded him, "Haven't you always wanted to learn a few more cultivation methods? Have him hand over all the cultivation methods that Songyang High School has the teaching rights to."

Zhang Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly made this request.

He knew that many of Songyang High School's expert-level cultivation methods were only taught to outstanding students in the second half of the second year of high school and the third year.

Not only could these expert-level cultivation methods themselves improve his strength, but he remembered that when he was learning the basic cultivation methods, he also looked at other copyrighted cultivation methods held by the school, and there were a few that could be used to light up the chain law diagram and form a set effect for him.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "I remember there is one that can be used to form the Martial Dao Holy Embryo, and another that can be used to form the Dragon Bloodline."

Zhou Chechen nodded when he heard this and said, "No problem. Whether it's the first, second, or third year of high school's textbooks, you can learn whatever you want."

Fuki reminded again, "The spiritual root must be specified what spiritual root it is. You and Bai Zhenzhen won't need much time, and your mana and physical bodies will reach the peak of Qi Refining. Many spiritual roots will be useless to you."

"Especially if he uses lower-level spiritual roots to perfunctorily deal with you at that time, then it will be completely useless to you."

Hearing Zhang Yu's repeated requests, Zhou Chechen reluctantly listed all of the school's Heavenly Grade spiritual roots for Zhang Yu to choose from and write into the contract.

Zhou Chechen introduced, "The most famous, most useful, and most valuable spiritual root in our Songyang High School is, of course, the Yuanyang Spiritual Root."

"The Yuanyang Spiritual Root can refine the Yuanyang essence in a virgin's body into mana, and the effect of increasing mana is very powerful..."

Hearing that it could increase mana, Zhang Yu was not interested, after all, his mana was almost 100 points.

In particular, he also remembered that this Yuanyang Spiritual Root had been passed down in Songyang High School for nearly twenty years, and had been played with by generations of predecessors, and was contaminated with the Yuanyang essence of thousands of students.

The remaining Heavenly Spiritual Roots were also mainly used to increase mana and physical strength. Zhang Yu looked at them and was not very satisfied. He said, "Is that all?"

Zhou Chechen gritted his teeth and had to say, "There are some Heavenly Spiritual Roots in my family that are usually rented to the children of the family. See if there are any that you are interested in."

"Of course, it's also free to use for 100 hours every month."

Looking at the list that Zhou Chechen provided again, Zhang Yu's eyes lit up and he found that they were all rare spiritual roots.

Zhang Yu: "What is this Death Spiritual Root used for?"

Zhou Chechen replied, "It can collect the death energy from the dead and is specially used to cultivate our Zhou family's ancestral cultivation methods. If you want to exert the effect of this Death Spiritual Root, it is best to have a large amount of corpse assets, and the older the corpse, the better."

Zhang Yu asked again, "What is this Winter Spiritual Root?"

Zhou Chechen replied, "It can absorb frozen air and change its own mana attributes, and needs to be used in conjunction with a low-temperature freezing chamber."

Zhang Yu looked at these Heavenly Spiritual Roots one by one, and finally took a fancy to...

"This Vengeful Spiritual Root is quite interesting."

Zhang Yu chose this Vengeful Spiritual Root for a reason, because he clearly remembered that among the cultivation methods needed to form the 'Martial Dao Holy Embryo', there was a relatively cheap expert-level Vengeful Fiend Art, which only cost 500,000.

The reason why it was cheaper than the other cultivation methods in the Martial Dao Holy Embryo was that this cultivation method needed to extract resentment and use resentment to refine the body.

Because the threshold for this cultivation method was very high, the number of people who practiced it was decreasing, and the price of the cultivation method had been falling all the way to this day.

Zhou Chechen said, "This Vengeful Spiritual Root is a spiritual root that extracts the resentment of the dead, and is useless to ordinary cultivators."

Fuki said, "Hehe, this kid is feeling the pain. This Vengeful Spiritual Root can't just extract the resentment of the dead. He's tricking you."

Zhang Yu glanced at Zhou Chechen and said lightly, "How do I remember that this Vengeful Spiritual Root can also extract the resentment of the living?"

"Speaking of the resentment of the dead, where is there more than that of the living?"

"Especially high schools and companies, these are one of the places with the most resentment in the world, right?"

Zhou Chechen didn't expect Zhang Yu to know about the Vengeful Spiritual Root, and nodded helplessly, "I forgot if you didn't say it."

"However, if you want to extract resentment at school, you will also need to pay a fee."

"Huh?" Zhang Yu said in surprise, "Do you have to pay for this too?"

Zhou Chechen reminded, "You may have forgotten, but there is a clause in the contract that every student signs before entering the school that stipulates that the school has the first right to dispose of resources generated by cultivation, such as resentment, death energy, and excrement generated in the school."

"Of course, I can have the school waive this fee for you as an apology to you two."
