Zhang Yu thought to himself, "What exactly does this Nectar Divine Lord's Yin Artifact intend to do?"

After deciding to use the Yin Artifact project to whitewash his cultivation and even create a scam, Zhang Yu communicated with Zhang Pianpian many times, learned a lot about the project's inside story, and discovered that the Yin Artifact was not independently developed by Ten Thousand Laws University, but came from the Nectar Divine Lord.

At the same time, he had always had a question in his mind: why did the Nectar Divine Lord choose him for his Yin Artifact?

Just then, Zhang Pianpian sent another message: she seemed to hear the calls of other High-Intelligence Artifact Spirit, searching for them.

After a brief pause, Zhang Pianpian replied: She also said you have good potential, which is why she chose you.

Upon seeing the message from Zhang Pianpian, Zhang Yu's mind jolted, and he exclaimed inwardly, "I knew it!"

"I knew I had a talent for this."

"If I had enrolled in Joyous Union University back then, my achievements would probably be no worse than they are now. I might even have become a prodigy of Heavenly Prodigy Blissful Union, discussing the Dao with the Blissful Union Principal and exchanging profound insights with the Nectar Divine Lord."

Hearing Zhang Yu's inner thoughts, Fu Ji thought to herself, "Are you trying to engage in some profound philosophical discussion? I'm almost embarrassed to call you out on it."

However, upon Yin Polarity Class Joyous Union University, Zhang Yu shook his head, thinking, "Although I am Yang Polarity Class talented, Joyous Union University's talent cultivation model still has some flaws and is not quite suitable for me."

He still had questions he wanted to ask the Divine Transformation Artifact Spirit, but under the surveillance of Magnetic Extremes True Lord, he couldn't send a message to Zhang Pianpian.

Suddenly, Zhang Yu Spiritual Energy. He touched the diamond-shaped crystal on his forehead and said, "Would you like to cultivate with me again?"

Zhang Yu remembered that his contract stated that if he Dual Cultivation with Yin Artifact, the price would be calculated separately based on the number of times, with a minimum of 15 Spirit Coin per session.

If he were to operate it himself, he felt he could train himself until the project team went bankrupt.

Unfortunately, this Spirit Transformation Yin Artifact never worked with him again; each time, it would only exchange magical power briefly before stopping completely.

Zhang Pianpian replied: She said no.

Zhang Pianpian: Because it would violate the Non-Interference Agreement.

Hearing Zhang Pianpian's explanation, Zhang Yu's heart skipped a beat. "There's such a thing? The Seven Emotions Divine Lord and the Nectar Divine Lord... have Non-Interference Agreement?"

"But is it because of the Azure Silk Flying Sword I have? Taking off the Azure Silk Flying Sword won't help; the spirit of the weapon has already memorized it?"

"Isn't this artifact spirit a bit too rigid?"

"But isn't it also because this artifact spirit is essentially offline right now?"

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "According to the normal procedure, after the Non-Interference Agreement is triggered, it should be reported to the Nectar Divine Lord and await the Divine Lord's decision."

"It's just that the artifact spirit can't report it now, so we're stuck at this level."

Just as Zhang Yu was leaving the laboratory with the spirit of the Yin Artifact...

Fu Xinyao, from Joyous Union University, was taken away by the Patrol Team and sent to the detention room because of Yu Xinghan's report.

She cursed inwardly, "I charged the lowest price, and those Civil Engineering students still reported me? The students here are so ignorant of the proper etiquette for Dual Cultivation."

Ping Han sighed helplessly.

The Patrol Team glanced at Fu Xinyao, snorted, and said, "Green River Arts Vocational College? Junior College?"

This is Fu Xinyao's false identity for this trip. With the false identity arranged by the Nectar Divine Lord and the hidden restriction placed on the Spirit Transformation Yin Artifact, as long as they don't cause too much trouble, they won't be exposed.

But when she heard that the Patrol Team wanted to arrange for them to work overtime, Fu Xinyao refused. She had come to Ten Thousand Laws University to do important things, so how could she be forced to work overtime?

However, if you don't want to serve in the military, you'll need to pay a fine.

Fu Xinyao herself was unwilling to pay the money, so she began contacting her superiors to request the fine funds.

But at that moment, Ping Han suddenly said, "I feel the call of the artifact spirit."

Fu Xinyao's eyes flickered. She knew that the so-called call of the artifact spirit was the Yin Artifact of the Nectar Divine Lord sending information in a special Spirit Realm band.

This kind of information can only be received by spirits using the same Spirit Realm frequency and belonging to the same Yin Artifact vessel of the Nectar Divine Lord.

Fu Xinyao said, "You all felt it?"

Apart from Ping Han, all the other Soul Cultivator among the artifact spirits agreed.

Fu Xinyao: "Then Bao Shen."

As Zhang Yu walked along the road, he changed directions as guided by the Nectar Girl, while simultaneously reading a textbook titled "Artifact Testing Technology" through his Eye Remains.

This is the textbook for the fourth-year Artifact Crafting Department, and Zhang Yu has recently been taking some time to study it.

For example, these fragmented moments are a good opportunity for him to learn.

On the one hand, he can use every minute and second to learn and become stronger; on the other hand, he can prevent the Ritual from becoming violent and causing unnecessary trouble because he is not learning or practicing.

Just as Zhang Yu had almost finished reading about half of the book, he arrived at the Layer 5 of the Ten Thousand Laws University City, following behind a Yellow Turban Warriors who was carrying goods.

The Nectar Girl asked in confusion, "Some of the calls come from this thing."

Nectar Girl: But... why are they working? They escaped so they wouldn't have to work anymore, so why are they working now that they're out?

Nectar Girl: And along this journey, why has everyone been working?

Zhang Pianpian: What's the problem?

The Nectar Girl: We originally thought that you humans created artifact spirits so that you wouldn't have to work anymore and could have the artifact spirits do the work for you.

Nectar Girl: So, whether it's a spirit or a human, does everyone have to work?

Zhang Pianpian replied, "All living beings in this world need to work as long as they are alive; this is the Heavenly Principle."

Zhang Pianpian: To transcend this principle, one must Attain Dao and Become Immortal and escape the cycle of debt and social security, becoming unemployed and free from all worries.

Zhang Pianpian: Only when you reach that stage, with financial freedom and spiritual freedom, will you no longer need to work.

Nectar Girl: No... that's not how it is.

Nectar Girl: I don't remember... but you're wrong!

Sensing that Nectar Girl was becoming agitated, Zhang Pianpian immediately reassured her. "Don't worry, what I said may not be right."

Next, as Zhang Yu followed the Yellow Turban Warriors to the underground factory, the Nectar Girl felt the calls of more artifact spirits.

At the same time, Zhang Yu heard the voice of the Magnetic Extremes True Lord.

"Zhang Yu, stop! Don't go any further!"

Magnetic Extremes True Lord, who had been observing Zhang Yu's movements, had secretly inspected all the equipment and personnel in the factory as soon as Zhang Yu arrived in this Factory Area.

At this moment, as the Spirit Realm Information surged, Zhang Yu felt as if he could hear a loud boom in his Eye Remains.

The phantom of the Nine Heavens Primordial Sun Pagoda has descended from the sky, sealing off the entire Factory Area.

Magnetic Extremes True Lord laughed and said, "I didn't expect a group of artifact spirits to dare to sneak over here."

"Since you're here, then stay."

With a flick of his right hand, Magnetic Extremes True Lord unleashed a series of chains that descended from the sky, grabbing everyone in the factory. In the blink of an eye, everyone—from factory managers to assembly line workers, Junior College, and Soul Cultivator —was firmly bound.

Some of them were even singled out by Magnetic Extremes True Lord.

"Hmm?" Magnetic Extremes True Lord's gaze sharpened slightly. "Basic Intelligent Artifact Spirit?"

Under her persistent questioning, she learned that they were followers of the Dual Cultivation Sect.

The reason they became followers of the Dual Cultivation Sect was that the Dual Cultivation Sect promised them 10 minutes of rest time each month once they joined.

During those 10 minutes, the Dual Cultivation church arranged for someone to do their work.

And this thing that works for them should be High-Intelligence Artifact Spirit in the eyes of Magnetic Extremes True Lord.

However, before she could seal off the scene, these High-Intelligence Artifact Spirit had already left, leaving only a group of artifact spirits with rudimentary intelligence to continue calling upon the Nectar Girl.

"The Dual Cultivation Sect..." Magnetic Extremes True Lord thought to himself, "As expected, those escaped artifact spirits have joined forces with the Dual Cultivation Sect. Are they using the 10-minute rest period each month to bewitch people and lure them into joining the cult?"

"But why summon the spirit of the artifact?"

The Magnetic Pole thought to itself, "What is their purpose in deliberately luring me here?"

Just then, the Spirit Realm began to tremble violently.

As countless rays of light descended from the sky, a woman whose face and figure were indistinct, yet who exuded boundless charm, descended from the Spirit Realm.

The moment Zhang Yu saw the other person, he felt a burning pain in his Eye Remains. The endless light and information pushed his Eye Remains to their limits.

The Nectar Girl exclaimed in terror, "It's her... it's her!"

Zhang Pianpian sent a message to warn: It's a Nascent Soul cultivator! Run!

Zhang Yu groaned and removed the Eye Remains from his right eye, only then feeling the pain of excessive information overload leave him.

But the next moment, he saw the factory in front of him constantly making loud banging noises, as if invisible hands were sweeping back and forth, turning the real world into a mess.

Fu Ji warned, "The Nascent Soul cultivator has descended and is interfering with the Material Realm through the Spirit Realm. Simply cutting off the internet won't help; in fact, it will cut off our intelligence!"

Zhang Yu was startled; at that moment, he felt as if he had gone blind.

Despite the dramatic changes unfolding right before his eyes, he could see nothing and hear nothing.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Fu Ji is right. Without connecting to the Spirit Realm, we wouldn't even know what happened, and we might be crippled by a mere aftershock of a Nascent Soul cultivator."

Wearing the Eye Remains again and connecting to the Spirit Realm, Zhang Yu heard a soft laugh.

"Little fellow, your Nine Heavens Primordial Sun Pagoda is quite impressive; it actually managed to withstand my primordial Primordial Spirit Power just now?"

At the same time, Zhang Yu saw in the Spirit Realm that his entire body was enveloped by the Nine Heavens Primordial Sun Pagoda.

Outside the Nine Heavens Primordial Sun Pagoda, a violent storm raged, and countless souls were extracted, swirling endlessly above the factory.

Magnetic Extremes True Lord coldly said, "Nectar Divine Lord, are you planning to attack the Ten Thousand Laws University?"

The Nectar Divine Lord chuckled, "I've come to retrieve my Yin Artifact and catch the petty thief who stole my things."

The next moment, Zhang Yu saw a mysterious, unseen Yin Artifact rise up in front of him, emanating a terrifying suction force.
