Zhang Yu was playing with the Golden Thread Jade Bi in his hand.

This Law Treasure is about the size of an average person's chest. It looks like a flat, round jade object with a palm-sized hole in the middle.

The surface of the jade disc is covered with dense golden patterns, resembling complex Magical Power Circuit, covering the entire disc.

As Zhang Yu poured his magical power into it, the Golden Thread Jade Bi floated into the air.

At the same time, various parameters of the Golden Thread Jade Bi appeared in Zhang Yu's Eye Remains, including mana capacity, power, and runtime.

"Run in follow mode!"

As Zhang Yu calmly gave the order, beams of dark light emerged from the Golden Thread Jade Bi, locking onto Zhang Yu before them!

Then the jade disc slowly floated behind him, like a halo behind his head, quietly hovering behind him, moving with his body!

Besides the follow mode, the Golden Thread Jade Bi also has attack, defense, and free modes, all of which have the most basic intelligence and can act according to the rules set by Zhang Yu!

"But ultimately, it's still not as precise as operating it yourself!"

With a thought, the golden jade pendant behind Zhang Yu's head emitted layers of light, like a small Sun illuminating the entire dormitory!

However, Zhang Yu only released a burst of light and did not activate any further functions!

"It wouldn't be good if we broke anything in the dorm. Let's wait until we get to the construction site to try!"

With this in mind, Zhang Yu then channeled the power of the Deep Cold Magic Vein and the Blazing Sun Magic Vein into the Golden Thread Jade Bi!

He knew that the effects of the Golden Thread Jade Bi would vary greatly depending on the type of Special Magical Power applied to it!

"With the Golden Jade Wisdom, my efficiency on the construction site can be improved again!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu subconsciously checked his bank account and found he had 36.15 Spirit Coin left!

In the past few months, he has been receiving 5 Spirit Coin from Zhang Pianpian every month to repay his loan, 10 Spirit Coin from Wen Wuya every month for a monthly subscription, and he has also been working hard at the construction site, which has made his income rise steadily!

However, Zhang Yu's savings did not increase much, simply because the cost of refining weapons was too high!

Especially with the advanced weapon-refining techniques, the amount of Spirit Coin consumed in the Simulation Lab and the cost of purchasing materials in reality both increase significantly!

In other words, Zhang Yu's basic attributes gradually reached the Foundation Establishment Limit, so he no longer needed to spend Spirit Coin on cultivation, saving him a considerable amount of money each month. Otherwise, his savings would be even less at this moment.

Some!

"If it weren't for the subsidies I received from working hard at the construction site, my weapon-forging progress would probably be much slower!"

Just as Zhang Yu was playing with the Golden Thread Jade Bi, the Magnetic Extremes True Lord sent him a message!

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: The Golden Thread Jade Bi is well-refined!

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: Here's a suggestion for you!

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: Let Xingli help you with the orders, I've already mentioned it to her!

Zhang Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Are you taking orders for weapon crafting?"

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: You've mastered the Azure Sand, the Taiyi Golden Liquid Pill, and the Golden Thread Jade Bi quite well now, haven't you?

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: I know you don't have enough capital and no Spirit Coin to stockpile materials!

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: So I'll take orders for weapon crafting and earn a labor fee!

Zhang Yu was naturally more than happy to accept this, since even if it was just earning a labor fee, it would still be more efficient than making money on a construction site!

However, Zhang Yu understood that the order volume was definitely not large, since most people would still choose large companies and platforms to buy Law Treasure!

Even if he only gets two or three orders a month, it's still a significant supplement to his training!

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu couldn't help but feel grateful to Magnetic Extremes True Lord. His teacher truly understood what he lacked most right now!

Just then, Magnetic Extremes True Lord sent Zhang Yu another gift: a Cultivation Method called "Treasure Appraisal Art"!

The seemingly simple-sounding Cultivation Method, "The Treasure Appraisal Art," was one that Zhang Yu had known about for a long time but had never Cultivation Method!

This is because the right to use this Cultivation Method requires a full 50 Spirit Coin, plus a monthly renewal fee of 1 Spirit Coin!

The reason it's so expensive is simply because the "Treasure Appraisal Art" is a Cultivation Method that can be used to appraise many Law Treasure and Dharma Skeleton, which involves the Copyright of many Law Treasure and Dharma Skeleton!

The reason for the monthly renewal fee is that this <Treasure Appraisal Art> is constantly being updated, continuously incorporating newly discovered and created Law Treasure and Dharma Skeleton from Kunxu!

As one of the co-creators of the "Treasure Appraisal Art," Magnetic Extremes True Lord has a certain number of authorized slots each year!

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: Now that you've embarked on the path of weapon crafting, the basic ability to identify Law Treasure Dharma Skeleton is indispensable!

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: Consider this <Treasure Appraisal Art> a gift I gave you after you passed the weapon crafting exam in your second year of university!

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: As for that Golden Thread Jade Bi, consider it a gift from Old Gao to congratulate you on passing the weapon-refining exam!

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Does Director Gao know that he's celebrating my passing the weapon-refining exam?"

Zhang Yu replied: Thank you, teacher!

He quickly downloaded the "Treasure Appraisal Art" and stored it in his Eye Remains!

While browsing, he also saw the Chain Law Diagram belonging to the <Treasure Appraisal Art>: Artifact Forging Prodigy!

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Unlike the techniques for creating various Law Treasure, this <Treasure Appraisal Art>, as a Cultivation Method, can trigger the Chain Law Diagram!"

Zhang Yu understood that on the path of weapon crafting, besides the techniques for creating various Law Treasure and Dharma Skeleton, there were many other Cultivation Method that could be used to improve a person's related abilities in weapon crafting!

It resembles the Treasure Appraisal Art before our eyes, yet it also seems like the Five Thunder Refining Technique, the Mortal World Weapon Refinement Technique, or the Dragon Vein Treasure Forging Manual!

However, these Cultivation Method are different from most of the Cultivation Method Zhang Yu had practiced in the past; they all belong to the Cultivation Method Dao Arts!

Expensiveness is a characteristic of these Dao Arts Cultivation Method. Not only is the right to use them expensive, but the cost of cultivating them also far exceeds that of Martial Dao Cultivation Method!

All along, Zhang Yu had practiced various Cultivation Method, which were either pure mental techniques, Breath Circulation Cultivation Method, or Martial Dao Cultivation Method. This was the first time he had the Cultivation Method to cultivate such a Dao Arts as the "Treasure Appraisal Art"!

The biggest reason for this is the high cost of Dao Arts and Cultivation Method!

"Dao Arts cultivation Cultivation Method often require special materials, such as various types of thunder and fire, special substances like Mortal Dust Aura and Celestial Astral Qi, or special environments like Dragon Vein and Yin Cavern!"

"Some Dao Arts consume an extreme amount of Spiritual Energy, requiring the purchase of Special Magical Power that one does not possess!"

"If the Cultivation Method involves refining artifacts, then various Law Treasure are often needed to assist in the cultivation."

Zhang Yu sighed inwardly. This was the reason why he did not choose to cultivate weapon-refining Cultivation Method after embarking on the path of weapon refining!

After all, the production techniques for various Law Treasure were already a huge financial burden for Zhang Yu, and he simply didn't have the money to develop any more weapon-refining Cultivation Method!

According to Zhang Yu's original plan, he would at least wait until his weapon-refining skills had improved to a certain level and he could break even before considering weapon-refining Cultivation Method!

"This is probably why the first three years of the Artifact Crafting Department's curriculum do not require weapon crafting Cultivation Method!"

"If we pursue both paths simultaneously, the financial burden will be too great, and I'm afraid many students in the Artifact Crafting Department won't be able to handle it!"

Zhang Yu became increasingly delighted with the Treasure Appraisal Art before him. Having the right to use it, gifted by the Magnetic Extremes True Lord, truly saved him a significant amount of money!

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: Are you sure you want to continue hiding our relationship? Aren't you going to study in the Artifact Crafting Department?

Zhang Yu: I'm sorry, Lord, Director Gao has been very kind to me, and I don't want to hurt him!

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "After this Final Exam, I will be able to master three of the Seven Wonders of Civil Engineering!"

"As for the upcoming Civil Engineering engineering competition, I've already asked Director Gao, and the top seven will also be awarded two spots for the Seven Wonders of Civil Engineering!"

"If I get one more spot, I'll have mastered four of the Seven Wonders of Civil Engineering!"

"Once I get my Military Certificate, and I pass three of the Seven Civil Engineering Tests tests in my department, and then obtain the three ' Seven Absolutes Skills'..."

As Zhang Yu thought about this, he seemed to see the Military Grade Martial Dao Cultivation Method, the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power, beckoning to him!

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: Although I can continue to guide you in the knowledge of weapon crafting, I can also secretly grant you a degree in the Artifact Crafting Department!

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: But if you don't openly join the Artifact Crafting Department Artifact Crafting Department true secrets!

Magnetic Extremes True Lord; for example, my two Military-grade Cultivation Method in the Artifact Crafting Department, <Heaven and Earth Calamity Formless Heart Weapon> and <Great Void Divine Artifact Strategy>!

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: As for the Heavenly Sun Brilliant God, the Vacuum Tribulation Diagram, the Taiwu Sacred Law Sword Formation, and other Military-grade Dharma Skeleton Military-grade Artifact, you will have no chance to learn them or even get your hands on them!

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: Your senior sister, Ye Xingli, has already cultivated the <Great Void Divine Artifact Strategy> and is about to complete the crafting of the Vacuum Tribulation Diagram!

Fu Ji commented, "The Artifact Crafting Department is definitely more powerful than the Civil Engineering Department; they have far more Military Grade power!"

Zhang Yu's heart stirred. "This Magnetic Extremes True Lord Magnetic Extremes True Lord trying to tempt me with these words, but he has to admit that it would be impossible for him not to be tempted at all!"

Even if he were to go to the Artifact Crafting Department to learn these Military Grade powers, Zhang Yu wanted to first learn the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power in the Civil Engineering Department department!

After all, he's already almost halfway there!

Fu Ji laughed and said, "The Magnetic Extremes True Lord was just giving you the opportunity to become his disciple at first!"

"And ever since last year's Civil Engineering Competition, she has seen your physical talent and is willing to give you the opportunity to become her secret disciple!"

"Now that we've witnessed your weapon-forging talent, it seems Magnetic Extremes True Lord believes you have a great chance of mastering Military Grade Artifact Crafting Department capabilities, and therefore intends to make our relationship public in the future!"

Zhang Yu nodded slightly, thinking to himself, "Through repeated interactions, I have indeed gradually sensed a change in Magnetic Extremes True Lord's attitude towards me!"

Fu Ji continued, "She's definitely trying to seduce you right now. Even if you really want to switch to the Artifact Crafting Department, it won't be something you can do in a short time. You can use this time to master the Heavenly Kun Mountain Moving Divine Power. There's no need to reveal your relationship beforehand and incur Director Gao's displeasure!"

"The Magnetic Extremes True Lord must know this too. I think this guy is just giving you a little temptation in advance to solidify your determination to make your relationship public in the future!"

Zhang Yu: I need to think about it!

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: No rush, take your time to consider it!
