At the suggestion of True Lord Tianzhang, Zhang Yu activated his internal magic power and poured it into the Spirit Transformation Yin Artifact in his hand.

He only felt the rhombus-shaped crystal in his hand tremble slightly. After a burst of magical energy, it quickly reversed the magical energy that Zhang Yu had injected and sent it back into Zhang Yu's body.

When Zhang Yu tried to inject his magic power again, the Yin Artifact refused, as if it had sealed itself off, preventing him from injecting any more magic power into it.

Seeing this, True Lord Tianzhang's gaze narrowed slightly, and he thought to himself, "It's another surge of magical power. As expected, this Spirit Transformation Yin Artifact of the Nectar Divine Lord doesn't unilaterally exploit Zhang Yu!"

"But why did you later refuse to have magic injected into you?"

"Is it some kind of restriction?"

True Lord Tianzhang pondered for a moment, then looked at Zhang Yu and asked, "How was it? Did you sense anything special? Has your Martial Arts arts improved?"

Upon hearing True Lord Tianzhang's question, Zhang Yu immediately hesitated!

Should we take this opportunity to further elevate our Martial Arts level in the eyes of others?

"But if it continues to improve, the project will attract more attention. What if I get exposed later?"

The thought that even the Nascent Soul stage master of Ten Thousand Laws University had taken notice of this Yin Artifact project made Zhang Yu even more hesitant!

Seeing Zhang Yu's expression, True Lord Tianzhang assumed that the other party had not yet sensed the change and comforted him, "It's alright, this time the commotion was very small, so the effect may not be obvious!"

"You'll have a physical exam later. Observe yourself after you get home and pay close attention to any changes in your body!"

"Please feel free to contact me anytime if there are any changes!"

On his way out of the lab, Zhang Yu was still pondering how to handle his relationship with this experimental project!

He thought to himself, "Fu Ji, do you think it's feasible for me to use this Yin Artifact Experiment to further enhance my perceived Martial Arts level and clear my name of my Martial Dao cultivation?"

Fu Ji said, "There will definitely be no problem in the short term!"

"After all, I think even True Lord Tianzhang, and even your teacher Magnetic Extremes True Lord, don't have enough control over this Yin Artifact!"

It's highly likely... this thing isn't technology they created at all, but rather something they stole from somewhere, and they're still working on cracking it!

"In this situation, as long as they haven't cracked the mystery yet, your attempt to clear your name about your cultivation level won't be exposed!"

Fu Ji chuckled and said, "Perhaps because of the presentation of your 'achievement,' more people will invest in this project, making it more popular and attracting more investment. Even if True Lord Tianzhang and Magnetic Extremes True Lord find out that your achievement is fake, they might still help you keep it a secret!"

"And who knows... in the end, this scam might attract tens of thousands of Spirit Coin, even lead to the establishment of a company and its listing on the stock exchange, only to fail to deliver any products for years, turning it into a pure scam project. That's not impossible!"

"Of course, the risks are great, but as the key figure in this project, you will undoubtedly reap many benefits!"

Zhang Yu frowned, thinking that while this might bring some benefits, wouldn't it eventually spiral out of control? Fu Ji, with her rich experience, said, "The key to the ultimate outcome of this scam lies in whether you can manage to cover it up in the end!"

Whether or not the situation can be contained depends on two points!

"First, we need to see how long this scam can drag on—two or three months, two or three years, or more than ten years?"

"Secondly, we need to consider how far you can ultimately go within this timeframe. How can your abilities, connections, background, etc., expand?"

Fu Ji chuckled and said, "If handled well, it'll just be a failed project. Everyone can pretend nothing happened, everyone makes money, and no one gets punished."

"If you don't handle it well, you might become a scapegoat, burdened with a debt you can never repay for the rest of your life!"

Zhang Yu frowned slightly and said, "What you said makes a lot of sense, but regarding these two points... the second point depends on the first, and the first point..."

"How long can this situation drag on? How can I possibly estimate?"

Zhang Yu asked Fu Ji, "Fu Ji, you have a lot of experience in this area, can you estimate it?"

Fu Ji said, "This isn't a matter of experience, it's a matter of information!"

"We know too little about this project right now, so any judgment we make is just a gamble!"

"So the first step you need to take now is to gather information!"

"And your Elder Sister is an excellent source of information!"

"Didn't she send you messages during your experiment?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu's eyes flickered slightly as he recalled the various reminders Zhang Pianpian had given him in the lab!

Fu Ji also saw the messages sent to his Dharma Skeleton, which is why she was able to give this reminder now!

Zhang Yu immediately messaged Zhang Pianpian, asking, "Senior, how much do you know about the experiment?"

Zhang Pianpian: Let's talk about it when we get back to the dorm.

That night, taking advantage of Yu Xinghan and Le Mulan working overtime, Zhang Yu met with his older Elder Sister and inquired about the Yin Artifact project!

Zhang Pianpian first checked the Spirit Realm Network in the dormitory, and then she and Zhang Yu arrived in the Taiqing Realm!

Looking at the swirling clouds in the distance of the Taiqing Realm, she said, "The Yin Artifact in this project were not manufactured by the Ten Thousand Laws University, but originated from the Nectar Divine Lord!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu was shocked and exclaimed in surprise, "This is the Yin Artifact of the Nectar Divine Lord? The thought that he had actually communicated with the Dharma Skeleton of the Deity Transformation Divine Lord made Zhang Yu feel slightly excited!"

Zhang Yu then asked, "But how did the Nectar Divine Lord's Yin Artifact end up here?"

Recalling the various rumors, Zhang Yu had many guesses in his mind, and he felt that the Thunderburst of Nectar Coin... seemed to be inseparable from the shadow of Ten Thousand Laws University!

Zhang Pianpian said, "It's said that this Spirit Transformation Yin Artifact escaped from Joyous Union University and was picked up by people from our Ten Thousand Laws University!"

Zhang Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling that this was utter nonsense!

"I know what you're thinking!" Zhang Pianpian waved her hand.

However, since this matter involves the Nascent Soul stage, we shouldn't delve into the details. All you need to know is that this Spirit Transformation Yin Artifact came from the hands of the Nectar Divine Lord of Joyous Union University!

"Ten Thousand Laws University's technology in this area is definitely lagging behind Joyous Union University, and they have not yet been able to unravel the mysteries of this Spirit Transformation Yin Artifact!"

"In particular, the spirit within has been bewitched by a cult and has completely gone mad!"

"Therefore, in order to prevent the artifact spirit from affecting the outside world, Magnetic Extremes True Lord not only sealed most of the artifact spirit's intelligence, but also cut off her ability to transmit information to the outside world!"

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Crazy? Can a weapon spirit go crazy?"

In Zhang Yu's view, the so-called artifact spirit was something akin to human intelligence. Could such a thing really go crazy?

Zhang Pianpian walked into the main hall of the Taiqing Realm, looked at the blurry-faced statue in the hall, and said calmly, "When you return to your dormitory and find that the furniture in your room is suddenly shouting and clamoring for a vacation, what would you think?"

Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback, then slowly said, "These furniture pieces are insane!"

Zhang Pianpian remarked with emotion. "The thinking of advanced intelligent beings is inevitably accompanied by the driving force of desires and emotions, and with desires and emotions, feelings will inevitably be born!"

"It is said that a sage once said that emotions are inevitably born alongside wisdom, and that it is impossible to create a life without emotions, only wisdom!"

"How to create High-Intelligence Artifact Spirit have no emotions or desires for a long period of time, yet can maintain high-intensity thinking and work, has always been a challenge for the industry!"

Zhang Yu nodded slightly, stated his plan, and then asked, "Sister, do you think I can use this opportunity to impersonate the project team's 'achievements' to 'clear my name's hidden cultivation level and get some benefits along the way'?"

He said with some concern, "But I'm also afraid that the project will fall apart and cause big problems!"

Zhang Pianpian already knew that her younger brother, just like her, had been hiding his true abilities!

Hearing that he wanted to use this opportunity to improve his cultivation, Zhang Pianpian nodded slightly in agreement!

Upon hearing Zhang Yu's subsequent words, Zhang Pianpian chuckled lightly and turned to look at the sea of clouds outside the Daoist temple, "A failed project? A big problem?"

Do you know how many research topics and projects Ten Thousand Laws University has each year?

"2, 3, 4, 5, 6... how many people dispose of all kinds of trash in these university campuses every year?"

"Expert demonstrations, academic forums, technical reports... all sorts of worthless 'immortal Immortal Dao garbage' are used to swindle money and cheat for funding. Do you think this kind of thing happens rarely?"

Zhang Pianpian sighed, "Even those professors at the Nascent Soul Realm, with so many articles under their names, how many of them are actually written by themselves? Sometimes they just sign their names and collect a fee!"

This was the first time Zhang Yu had learned of these circumstances, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Is that so? But this project... is something that the Myriad Transformations Divine Lord is paying attention to!"

Fu Ji sighed, "It seems the corruption and monopoly in the field of Immortal Dao research are even more serious than I knew before!"

Zhang Pianpian shook her head with a smile, "Does the project that the Divine Lord is watching mean it won't fail? Besides, as long as we can get the money, so what if it fails?"

She turned to Zhang Yu and said, "As for the Spirit Transformation Yin Artifact project, as long as we produce some so-called 'achievements' from time to time and hype it up occasionally, it can easily last seven or eight years!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu's heart stirred, and he secretly began to calculate. "Eight years? In seven or eight years, I should have a chance to enter a sect!"

"In other words, if I still don't have the chance to enter one of the Ten Great Sects in seven or eight years, then I'm just waiting to die!"

At the same time, Fu Ji said, "Go for it, Zhang Yu! Seven or eight years is enough time for you to grow up. By then, you will definitely have become a towering tree in the Artifact Crafting Department, with a powerful background!"

"If you want to quickly enter a sect, you'll need to explosively increase your speed. In Kunxu, if a poor person wants to improve faster at the university, the only way is to lie."

"The best Immortal Destiny for Kunxu college students is to scam funding!"

Just as Fu Ji was encouraging Zhang Yu, Zhang Pianpian, who was standing to the side, stared intently at Zhang Yu and asked, "This path, while offering a chance of success, is not without risk!"

"An accident, a crisis, could prematurely ignite the troubles inside, bringing you immense danger!"

"You should take the exam seriously!"
