The day after Zhang Yu returned to his dormitory, he still hadn't received permission to leave school, so he decided to continue his weapon-refining practice.

Zhang Yu entered the Artifact Forging Laboratory, first grabbing a swirling, bright yellow flame, then inhaling it into his body. He then repeatedly circulated and channeled it through his meridians, continuously injecting his magical power into it, thus condensing it together with his own magical power.

Then, he channeled the bright yellow aura and his Movement Method into a secondhand magical Law Treasure on the experimental table, creating a special restriction that gradually altered the Law Treasure's properties.

As Zhang Yu continued to circulate his energy, with each burst of magical power, a faint dragon roar seemed to be heard from within the Law Treasure, and even the surface of the Law Treasure showed undulating marks like dragon scales, as if the entire Law Treasure had come to life.

The weapon-forging Cultivation Method that Zhang Yu is currently practicing is a Cultivation Method called the <Dragon Vein Treasure Forging Manual>.

This bright yellow aura is the so-called Dragon Vein Power.

Zhang Yu sighed, "Alas, it's mixed and impure; it's obviously from a man-made Dragon Vein."

Fu Ji said, "Nonsense, where can ordinary people find a true Dragon Vein these days? It's good enough if someone can create Dragon Vein."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu shook his head and continued to focus on cultivating his Cultivation Method technique.

The Cultivation Method he was practicing at this moment was different from the various weapon-refining techniques he had practiced before.

Those weapon-refining techniques are used to create different Law Treasure based on different design blueprints.

The <Dragon Vein Treasure Forging Manual> he is currently practicing grants him the ability to infuse the power of the Dragon Vein into various Law Treasure, thereby enhancing Law Treasure performance.

There are many other Cultivation Method that enhance one's crafting abilities, such as various methods of controlling true fire, like the Dao Arts Cultivation Method "Divine Fire Control Mirror," which can improve a cultivator's material crafting skills.

There are also Dao Arts related to restrictions, such as the <Twelve Cloud Seal Arts>, which can enhance a cultivator's ability to stack restrictions on Law Treasure, making the Law Treasure they refine in the future more powerful and providing more auxiliary functions.

There are also various weapon-refining Cultivation Method that are difficult to categorize, such as the Five Thunder Refinement Method, the Mortal World Weapon Refinement Technique, and the Sword Nurturing Art...

Besides these Cultivation Method for enhancing weapon crafting abilities, there are also Cultivation Method for utilizing Law Treasure, such as the Artifact Control Essentials, the Azure Dragon in Sleeve Law Treasure, and the Treasure Stealing Art. These techniques can enhance the power of Law Treasure or influence the opponent's Law Treasure Cultivation Method battle.

It can be said that in the field of weapon crafting, in addition to various Law Treasure blueprints, the Cultivation Method of weapon crafting are also profound and diverse, involving almost every industry and field.

The reason Zhang Yu chose to cultivate the <Dragon Vein Treasure Forging Manual> was simply because this weapon-refining Cultivation Method could be used to complete the set he had in the Chain Law Diagram — Artifact Forging Prodigy.

After Zhang Yu was granted the Treasure Appraisal Art Cultivation Method by the Magnetic Extremes True Lord, he guessed that the "Artifact Forging Prodigy" set effect should enhance his weapon forging ability, and that the sooner he completed it, the more profitable the set effect would be.

However, he had already spent too many Spirit Coin learning how to forge weapons and create various Law Treasure.

Furthermore, the cultivation of weapon-refining Cultivation Method is not cheap, making it difficult for Zhang Yu to afford both at the same time. He can only learn the blueprints for Law Treasure first, in order to complete the exams and improve his earning ability.

However, Zhang Yu's income has been soaring, which means he now has the economic foundation to cultivate and refine Cultivation Method.

<Dragon Vein Treasure Forging Manual> Level 7 (0/70)

Having once again completed the infusion of Dragon Vein Power, Zhang Yu looked at the secondhand Law Treasure before him and thought, "It seems to be almost saturated."

"Sigh, this kind of Cultivation Method is expensive to practice. You need to buy cheap old Law Treasure to practice with, and you also need to buy materials like Dragon Vein Power."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "If I'm not allowed to go out to work on construction sites to earn money, I'm afraid it will be really hard to make ends meet with just the lab stipend and other odd jobs."

Just then, the specific arrangements for going out to work and participating in the competition were sent over.

"First of all, there's a Law Treasure called the Sun Moon Connecting Bracelet, which the project team is funding and lending to me temporarily."

Zhang Yu clicked on the description of this Law Treasure and thought to himself, "This Sun Moon Connecting Bracelet is somewhat similar to the Azure Silk Flying Sword; both are Law Treasure that can be used to connect to the Spirit Realm Network."

"However, the Azure Silk Flying Sword relies on the 84,000 Sky -Patrolling Sky Sword that Heaven Sword University has deployed on the Second Layer."

"The Sun and Sun Moon Connecting Bracelet relies on the sun and moon in the sky."

Although I had long heard that the sun and moon in the sky above the Kunxu Second Layer were created by the Ten Thousand Laws University, and were incredibly huge Law Treasure that could radiate Spirit Realm Network covering the entire Kunxu Second Layer.

But after reading the user manual for the Sun Moon Connecting Bracelet today, Zhang Yu learned that the magic Law Treasure that resembled the Sun was called the Sun-Patrolling Bawu, and the Law Treasure that resembled the moon was called the Long Night Jade Palace.

"The Sun Moon Connecting Bracelet can directly connect to the two Law Treasure, the Sun and the Moon, at any time, allowing it to call upon the school's support at any time."

"That's perfect. It saves us the trouble of going through Heaven Sword University if we contact them via the Patrolling Sky Sword."

Thinking this through, Zhang Yu nodded in satisfaction.

In addition to the Sun Moon Connecting Bracelet, the school also approved an increase in the level of secrecy surrounding Zhang Yu, making it difficult for outsiders to obtain information about his whereabouts.

There is also the support authority Talisman Arts a series of Law Treasure Law Treasure Talisman Arts, which can be immediately invoked when Magnetic Extremes True Lord provides support to Zhang Yu.

"That makes it safer."

Seeing this, Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Now he could finally go out to work without having to worry about making ends meet.

In the company group chat, Zhang Yu sent a message directly: Let's get to work!

Zhao Tianxing: Received!

Mo Tianyi: Received!

Che Yufei: Received!

As soon as Zhang Yu sent this message, the entire company group chat immediately became active.

Zhao Tianxing and the others, who had been out of work for two days because of Zhang Yu's incident, breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Tianxing thought to himself, "Finally, I can go to the construction site again. I've been doing a bunch of odd jobs these past two days, and the conditions there are nowhere near as good as on the construction site."

As his Soul Cultivator continued to enrich, Zhao Tianxing increasingly understood a principle: if you don't do it, there are plenty of other Soul Cultivator who will. For someone with Junior College college diploma like him, job opportunities were rare, and good job opportunities were even rarer.

While Zhang Yu was out working...

Ping Han was exhausted, both physically and mentally, and let out a deep breath.

But Fu Xinyao pressed her down, saying, "Hold it in, don't vomit."

Ping Han had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

Fu Xinyao smiled slightly and said, "How was it? How did it feel to cultivate with the junior students from before?"

Suppressing his humiliation, Ping Han slowly said, "I'm glad you're satisfied."

Just then, Ping Han trembled violently. Fu Xinyao, sensing this tremor, moved her Fu Xinyao and went outside to the street.

After reviewing the data sent by the Yin Artifact, Fu Xinyao quickly focused her attention on Yu Xinghan.

"Thousands of self-study sessions?" Fu Xinyao's eyes lit up. "Ten Thousand Laws University actually has such talent?"

Feeling the tightness in her Yin Artifact, Fu Xinyao asked, "Do you know him?"

Ping Han struggled with himself for a moment, then finally sighed and said, "He is Zhang Yu's friend."

"Oh?" Fu Xinyao laughed. "That's perfect then."

On the other side, Yu Xinghan suddenly frowned, feeling as if someone was calling her.

He turned his head and saw Fu Xinyao standing in the alley, waving at him.

"Hey classmate, wanna cultivate together?"

Yu Xinghan smiled slightly, stepped forward, and asked, "What's the price?"

At the same time, he had already started recording in his Eye Remains, thinking to himself, "Damn it... trying to steal business from our store?"

"I see you don't even have a license plate, I'll report you first."

After finishing his Heavenly Craft, Zhang Yu rushed back to school to prepare for the experiment of the Magnetic Extremes True Lord.

This time, after the Nectar Girl Forty-Eight was activated, the diamond-shaped crystal-like Yin Artifact transformed into a mark that stuck tightly to Zhang Yu's forehead and remained there for more than half an hour.

"No..." Zhang Yu touched his Yin Artifact on his forehead with a grim expression and said, "What's going on?"

Magnetic Extremes True Lord said thoughtfully, "This Yin Artifact has been equipped on your own; it probably wants to stay with you."

Zhang Yu asked in confusion, "Follow me? Why?"

Magnetic Extremes True Lord did not answer, but instead said, "Go outside the laboratory and take a look."

Watching Zhang Yu walk out of the laboratory, his Yin Artifact still pressed tightly against his forehead, Magnetic Extremes True Lord's gaze flickered slightly before he said, "Leave the research institute and take a look."

Zhang Yu exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? This... Won't something bad happen?"

Magnetic Extremes True Lord said, "With me watching over things, what could possibly happen?"

As Zhang Yu left the laboratory, Magnetic Extremes True Lord secretly followed and observed him, sending messages from time to time to give Zhang Yu guidance.

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: Don't keep covering your forehead.

Zhang Yu: Isn't that too high-profile?

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: What's so high-profile about this? With my restrictions, others won't recognize this as Spirit Transformation Magic Skeleton.

Zhang Yu lowered his hand, looked at the street in front of him, and felt somewhat lost.

Looking at Zhang Yu's expression, Magnetic Extremes True Lord said, "Just take a walk."

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: Go wherever you want.

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: During the journey, pay close attention to the changes in your Yin Artifact; they may guide you in the right direction.

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: But remember, you absolutely must not communicate with her.

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: If you find that you can hear her voice, tell me immediately.

Zhang Yu looked helpless and could only walk while sensing things. Just then, Zhang Pianpian's message appeared in his Eye Remains.

Zhang Pianpian: No need to reply, I'm sending you a message secretly.

Zhang Pianpian: I'll talk to the spirit of the artifact and see what she's up to.

Zhang Pianpian entered the Spirit Transformation Yin Artifact and asked, "Nectar Girl Forty-Eight, what do you want?"

Nectar Girl Forty-Eight: I sensed the presence of my kind.

Nectar Girl: I want to go find them.

Zhang Pianpian: Of the same kind?

Zhang Pianpian: You mean High-Intelligence Artifact Spirit? Where are they?

Nectar Girl Forty-Eight): I don't know, but they are calling for me.

Zhang Pianpian: Why did I possess Zhang Yu's body?

Nectar Girl: Because he is different, and different from most people here.

Zhang Pianpian: How are they different?

Nectar Girl: He's more obvious.

Zhang Pianpian: More obvious?

Nectar Girl: He studied on his own thousands of times.

The Nectar Girl: He stands out enough in the crowd here; we can recognize his uniqueness at a glance.
