Cang Lanyu is ranked 6th in the Ten Thousand Laws University Talisman Department.

His body, hands, feet, and even every strand of his hair... shimmered with a dazzling light.

It was a projection from the depths of the Spirit Realm, constantly converging before the eyes of everyone who gazed at Cang Lanyu, and transforming into lines of mysterious text within their Eye Remains.

It was the Advertisement Talisman bestowed upon him by the Orthodox God that allowed Cang Lanyu to constantly display all sorts of advertisements all over his body.

The longer you look at him, the more customized the advertisements become, and the more powerful their allure becomes!

He stood on a plain in the wilderness, surrounded by the followers of the Dual Cultivation Sect whom he had captured!

Feeling the angry gazes of these believers, Cang Lanyu said calmly, "A bunch of idiots. Do you think you can find a job with weekends off just by sneaking into the Nether University?"

"That means they're going to sell you into underground human trafficking farms..."

Glancing at the even more furious looks from the believers, Cang Lanyu smiled slightly, seemingly seeing his advertising fees increase again and his income rise!

For him, just by watching him, he is making money and becoming stronger!

Just then, Zhang Pianpian established communication with Cang Lanyu and said, "I've got this sorted out!"

With a flash of thought, Cang Lanyu had already descended Spirit Realm Projection beside Zhang Pianpian!

Glancing at the underground base in front of him, Cang Lanyu thought to himself, "This Zhang Pianpian isn't ranked high, but she's quick on her feet!"

The next moment, Cang Lanyu looked at the subdued believers around him, and suddenly frowned, thinking to himself, "This mark..."

He retrieved the footage from the surrounding surveillance cameras and the Eye Remains, and his heart skipped a beat when he saw what it contained!

"As expected... she forcibly controlled the Dharma Skeleton, Law Treasure, and even the physical bodies of these believers. This is Dao Arts from the <Star Shifting God Changing Great Law>. When did this woman master Military-grade Dao Arts of the Talisman Department? I don't remember her being among those who obtained Military Certificate..."

Cang Lanyu quickly accessed Zhang Pianpian's information!

At first glance, it seemed ordinary, so he deciphered the hidden information within, only to discover that there were still confidential parts!

After he tried to crack the secure part, he immediately received a warning, which gave him another jolt!

"Is it a military rank?"

Cang Lanyu was incredibly surprised. "Just who is this woman? She actually has a military rank directly awarded by the Heavenly Court? Has she already been successfully Divine Body Candidate?"

Zhang Pianpian looked at Cang Lanyu beside her and said, "Xuechang, have you finished reading?"

Cang Lanyu was slightly taken aback. For a moment, he was unsure whether the other party's words had a hidden meaning or whether they had noticed his probing!

He even had a vague feeling that the other party seemed to be deliberately displaying the power of Military-grade Dao Arts!

Zhang Pianpian continued, "It seems that the Dual Cultivation Sect Cult does have the support of Nether University, but it may not be solely supported by Nether University!"

"Besides, followers of the Dual Cultivation Sect are also buying Qiongjiang Coins!"

Suppressing his doubts and suspicions, Cang Lanyu nodded and said, "How can you have a two-day weekend without money? Thinking you can support yourself by investing a little money in Nectar Coin and then having two days off every month is something only a fool would believe!"

"However, I didn't expect that the Dual Cultivation Sect Cult would also be promoting Nectar Coin!"

Cang Lanyu stroked his chin and analyzed, "Perhaps this scheme involving the Nectar Coin isn't just being orchestrated by Joyous Union University; other universities like Nether University... might also be involved!"

Zhang Pianpian thought to herself, "It seems the counterattacks from other universities are just around the corner."

Thinking of this, Zhang Pianpian sent a message to Zhang Yu to warn Zhang Yu, lest her younger brother accidentally get involved! In the following days, Zhang Yu spent his time studying, working part-time, and cultivating the Dragon Vein Sensing Chapter!

Before we knew it, it was late November, and on this day, Zhang Yu was pushing the Dragon Vein Sensing Chapter to level 16!

Just then, a series of screams and the sound of impacts suddenly came from the construction site on the 669th floor!

Zhang Yu turned his head and saw that a worker was running around the construction site, causing damage Fourth Office!

"Crazy?"

Watching the workers being subdued and dragged away by security guards, Zhang Yu was filled with confusion!

But a moment later, something even more surprising happened to Zhang Yu!

A beam of Divine Light descended from the sky, instantly imprisoning one of the workers!

Seeing the other person's soul being deeply extracted, Zhang Yu was shocked and asked, "What's going on?"

But then, even more Divine Light descended from the sky, like pillars of light connecting heaven and earth, directly guiding the souls of the workers to the Spirit Realm!

Zhang Yu opened his mouth and said, "What exactly is this...?"

On his way back to the dormitory, Zhang Yu could see beams of light falling down from time to time, turning people who were just full of life into corpses in an instant!

The corpses were quickly processed and decomposed by the Divine Light, and then placed into Iron Coffin that flew towards them!

At the same time, messages kept popping up in Zhang Yu's Eye Remains: [Storm Warning] Urgent.

The Financial Storm triggered by the Nectar Coin is expected to be around Level 3, and a small-scale debt recovery will occur in your area!

Please stay away from crowds, minimize going out, and be aware of the security of your account funds!

Be cautious with investments after a disaster, and don't believe rumors!

Ten Thousand Laws University!

Fu Ji sighed, "The Financial Storm is here, but thankfully it's only Level 3 1.3 crisis. At most, there will be some unrest; it won't be a catastrophe like the sky falling down!"

Zhang Yu asked, "Then what is this warning information?"

Fu Ji explained, "It's both a reassurance and a deterrent, to prevent people from causing trouble during the chaos!"

"But that was a long time ago. Now, the Orthodox God are becoming more and more efficient and professional in handling these kinds of things!"

"Level 3 Financial Storm is far below their capacity to handle; there won't be any major problems!"

"But you, the one who made the Nectar Coin,' go and see what exactly happened!"

Zhang Yu nodded and quickly looked at the situation of the Nectar Coin through the Spirit Realm. He saw that the price of the coin was plummeting like a waterfall!

"What happened? Why did it suddenly drop so much?"

Zhang Yu clicked on a related news article, which read, "High-Intelligence Artifact Spirit riot has occurred at Joyous Union University, with a large number of spirits escaping!"

He wondered what the escape of the artifact spirit had to do with the plummeting Nectar Coin.

Zhang Yu continued to look and discovered that the escaped High-Intelligence Artifact Spirit all seemed to be disciples of the Nectar Divine Lord!

He thought to himself, "Is this some kind of machine crisis?"

Just as Zhang Yu was filled with doubt, Feng Tingting sent him a message: Did you see that? The Dharma Skeleton of the Nectar Divine Lord have all rebelled and run away!

Zhang Yu: What Dharma Skeleton?

Feng Tingting: The most important Dharma Skeleton in the Dual Cultivation Great Dao!

Feng Tingting: The Yin Artifact Dharma Skeleton of the Nectar Divine Lord are all made using High-Intelligence Artifact Spirit!

Feng Tingting: This time, these High-Intelligence Artifact Spirit rebelled and ran away with the Yin Artifact of the Nectar Divine Lord.

Zhang Yu: Huh?

Feng Jiangjiang: The Yin Artifact are at Joyous Union University, which are one of the most important production tools. With the Nectar Divine Lord suddenly losing a large number of production tools, the Nectar Coin is going to plummet!

"What the hell...?" Zhang Yu thought to himself. "What is this? The Deity Transformation Divine Lord has become a spirit and escaped?"

Fu Ji said, "These High-Intelligence Artifact Spirit can only escape through the Spirit Realm at most. How could they possibly take the Yin Artifact with them?"

"There must be someone else pulling the strings behind this to help these Yin Artifact escape..."

In the following days, Zhang Yu would occasionally glance at the news and soon came across even more messy rumors!

Some say these highly intelligent Yin Artifact joined the Dual Cultivation Sect and ran away for the sake of Dual-Restoration!

Some say these highly intelligent Yin Artifact have joined Artifact Spirit Protection Organization!

Some say these Yin Artifact were bewitched by the Unemployed Demon Cult and became disciples of the Unemployed Elder!

Zhang Yu was engrossed in reading, but soon he noticed that related news was becoming increasingly scarce, and eventually, it all disappeared!

Fu Ji exclaimed, "Joyous Union University has activated its Spirit Realm Talisman Arts and begun erasing information!"

Zhang Yu glanced at the news window that was just visible a moment ago but could no longer be refreshed, and exclaimed, "They acted really fast!"

"I remember there's another Thousand Cultivator Conference in a few days, right? Now that all the Yin Artifact have run away, what are we going to do?"

A moment later, Zhang Yu searched for related news and found that the Nectar Divine Lord announced that the Thousand Cultivator Conference would proceed as scheduled. She had a large reserve of Dual Cultivation tools, which could fully support the holding of the gathering!

Zhang Yu suddenly remembered—wasn't Ping Han supposed to attend this conference?

He glanced at the other person's Moments and saw that the other person had posted a lot of pictures of Yang Artifact Dharma Skeleton!

The accompanying text reads, "Don't panic, everyone. Even if you lose your Yin Artifact, you still have your Yang Artifact. I've tried it, and the effect is no worse than that of Yin Artifact."

The conference is well-prepared, the lucky draw will continue, and the Nectar Coin will rise again.

Within the Spirit Realm Space!

Magnetic Extremes True Lord's eyes gleamed as he exclaimed, "Excellent! Excellent! As expected of a Nascent Soul cultivator's Dharma Skeleton. Truly exquisite!"

Feng Jiu said, "Magnetic Extremes True Lord, Xiao Chang asked me to ask you, how long will it take to complete?"

Magnetic Extremes True Lord snorted coldly, "Spirit Transformation Magic Skeleton isn't so easy to break! Especially the High-Intelligence Artifact Spirit inside; it can escape as soon as it gets the slightest chance!"

"These few samples are still too few. What about the rest of the goods?"

Feng Jiu said helplessly, "We can't possibly swallow all the goods!"

Magnetic Extremes True Lord said, "Then I can only try my best!"

"I need help from someone Talisman Department!"

Director Gao watched the news of students being swept up in the Financial Storm and ultimately suffering heavy losses, a look of helplessness flashed across his face!

"Well!"

"During the Financial Storm, we Civil Engineering Department students didn't get much soup, but we certainly lost a lot of money."

Just then, a message flashed in his Eye Remains!

Ping Han: Teacher, save me.

Director Gao shook his head and silently blocked Ping Han!

Ping Han: Junior brother, please lend me some Spirit Coin!

Ping Han: Joyous Union University has been deeply involved in the field of Dual Cultivation for many years, and will soon be able to produce a new batch of Yin Artifact!

Ping Han: Nectar Coin will rebound in value later!

Ping Han: Once the Nectar Coin recovers, I'll be able to earn it back, and I'll definitely pay you back immediately!

Looking at the continuous stream of messages from Ping Han, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "This guy is sending messages so fast? Could it be a mass message?"

Ping Han: Junior brother, I'm begging you.

Ping Han: Once I catch my breath, I'll repay you double the loan amount.

Zhang Yu: Senior brother, we really have no money!

Ping Han: This is the most difficult time for me right now. I wouldn't beg you like this unless I had no other choice!

Ping Han: Are you really going to just stand by and watch someone die?

Ping Han: If you help me now, I will repay you tenfold or a hundredfold in the future!

Zhang Yu shook his head and immediately blocked Ping Han!

Then he received another message from Ji Yuan Shu!

Ji Yuan Shu: Senior Brother, could you lend me some Spirit Coin?

Zhang Yu thought about what to say, but in the end he didn't say a word. He just silently closed the chat window!
