Who Said Transfer Students Can't Match Purebloods?
"The list of Dragon Vein Treasure Forging Manual?"
Zhang Yu's eyes lit up when he saw the message from Ye Xingli.
Although Zhang Yu had decided to pursue the creation of the prototype of the Heavenly Sun Brilliant God after switching to the Artifact Crafting Department, he did not start the process immediately, but continued to accumulate the Artifact Forging Prodigy.
After all, sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood. With Zhang Yu's understanding of the Chain Law Diagram set, there is a high probability that he is Artifact Forging Prodigy, which will have a long-term effect on his future weapon-refining career.
In particular, he has now advanced both the Treasure Appraisal Art and the Dragon Vein Treasure Forging Manual Cultivation Method Level 20, and the Divine Fire Control Mirror Appraisal Technique to Level 10. He is getting closer and closer to the six Cultivation Method required for the First Layer of the Artifact Forging Prodigy effect!
According to Zhang Yu's own estimate, it should be completed within two months!
The only thing that bothered him was money!
"The path of weapon forging is great in every way, except it's too expensive!"
"Crafting Law Treasure blueprints is expensive!"
"This weapon-refining Cultivation Method is even more expensive to cultivate!"
In order to cultivate the Divine Fire Control Mirror, Zhang Yu needed to purchase fire seeds.
Besides refining Divine Fire True Qi, one also needs to practice with Law Treasure!
After all, this Cultivation Method involves using true fire to refine Law Treasure Law Treasure, increasing their material strength and resistance to high temperatures!
During this process, although Zhang Yu purchased second-hand Law Treasure, it still cost him a considerable amount of Spirit Coin!
At first, his Divine Fire Control Mirror level was too low and his crafting skills were poor, so he only bought the worst second-hand Law Treasure, which were all practice pieces below Level 3. The advantage was that they were cheap enough, but the magic Law Treasure, which were already of low level, were basically difficult to sell and recoup their costs after being refined by his low-level Divine Fire Control Mirror!
To be honest, Zhang Yu didn't initially think that this kind of practice Law Treasure + practice enhancement junk could be sold. Later he found out that Junior College also had a need for Law Treasure, but their purchasing power was too weak!
Zhang Yu still remembers that the more he practiced, the more Spirit Coin he spent. At its peak, his account lost nearly 10 Spirit Coin in a single day!
Later, as his Divine Fire Control Mirror level increased, Zhang Yu also tried buying higher-level Law Treasure, such as level 5, level 9, Level 10 and level 11 Law Treasure!
After repeated testing, he discovered that level 11 Law Treasure, after being refined using his Divine Fire Control Mirror, were the best-selling!
Especially Law Treasure like the Earth Suppressing Seal and the Di Sha Bottle, which can be used in Civil Engineering construction!
"A level 11 Law Treasure has reached the Foundation Establishment stage, representing a qualitative improvement in performance compared to Law Treasure below Level 10!"
"And the Law Treasure used for construction often don't need to be perfect; they just need to be sturdy and durable. Many people are unwilling to use Level 20 Law Treasure for overtime work!"
"Therefore, for construction sites, level 11 Law Treasure items are the most practical because they are cheaper and more efficient!"
In this way, it's easier to sell the Law Treasure used for practice to recoup some losses, which greatly alleviates the Spirit Coin consumption Zhang Yu incurs while cultivating the Divine Fire Control Mirror!
"Now that the Divine Fire Control Mirror is at Level 10, besides selling half-finished practice materials to Civil Engineering students, I can also offer a custom service, allowing me to refine other people's Law Treasure while simultaneously cultivating my Cultivation Method!"
After some mental calculation, Zhang Yu figured that if he could spend money and earn money at the same time, he would only need another 15 to 20 Spirit Coin to upgrade the Divine Fire Control Mirror to Level 20!
Whenever Zhang Yu thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh!
Fortunately, the Law Treasure in Kunxu are different from Law Treasure he saw in the fantasy world of his previous life. They won't break down even after being refined, even after decades or hundreds of years. Otherwise, he wouldn't know who to sell so many Law Treasure to!
The Law Treasure in Kunxu will wear down after use, resulting in reduced durability and even performance. They will require maintenance and repair, and will eventually become outdated, obsolete, and eventually unusable...
Zhang Yu had once complained that the Law Treasure in Kunxu were too fragile, but since embarking on the path of weapon crafting, he gradually realized that he had been too narrow-minded in the past!
"Is it reasonable? Is it even plausible? If a Law Treasure can be used for several generations without needing repair or maintenance, how will our Artifact Crafting Department make a living?"
"If I hadn't relied on selling Law Treasure to recoup my losses, I probably wouldn't have been able to burn through 100 Spirit Coin just to get this Divine Fire Control Mirror to Level 20. In that case, there would have been no hope for me on the path of weapon crafting!"
"However, once the Artifact Forging Prodigy finishes, the creation of the wrinkled form of the Heavenly Sun Brilliant God will cost an unknown number of Spirit Coin. I still need to hurry up and earn some money!"
Zhang Yu checked his bank account. Although he had received a reward of 20 Spirit Coin, he had to pay for the cost of Mo Shang Jin's Seven Wonders Magic Skeleton, pay the company employees' salaries, and spend money cultivating the Divine Fire Control Mirror!
Zhang Yu's account balance will soon be less than 3 Spirit Coin!
"Sigh, the more you earn, the faster you cultivate; the faster you cultivate, the more money you spend per unit of time!"
"These Spirit Coin are never enough!"
Given his financial straits, Zhang Yu was naturally overjoyed to see Ye Xingli's new order regarding the Dragon Vein Treasure Forging Manual!
Zhang Yu: (Continue)
Ye Xingli: "Zi Yun Zhen"
Ye Xingli: Junior brother, now that you've officially joined the Artifact Crafting Department, there's no need to hide anything from you anymore.
Ye Xingli: You should contact her directly.
Ye Xingrui had been acting under the orders of Magnetic Extremes True Lord, consigning some Law Treasure and refining services for Zhang Yu. His main purpose was to conceal Zhang Yu's refining skills before the Transfer Departments!
Now that Zhang Yu has successfully Transfer Departments, she no longer bothers to cover for him!
So a moment later, Zhang Yu took the initiative to add Zi Yun Zhen a friend!
Zi Yun Zhen was slightly taken aback when she saw Zhang Yu request. "Why is this stinky Civil Engineering guy adding me? Does he want to ask me for Artifact Forging Course?"
Upon opening the friend request, Zi Yun Zhen was slightly taken aback!
Zhang Yu: Do you need the Dragon Vein Treasure Forging Manual service?
Zi Yun Zhen thought to herself, "Is Zhang Yu working as a middleman? Or a salesperson? Did some big data leak my needs?"
Zi Yun Zhen knew that many lower-level students in the Artifact Crafting Department, if their skills weren't good enough, would use their background in the Artifact Crafting Department to work as salespeople or intermediaries!
Considering that the other party might be a refining material that Magnetic Extremes True Lord had his eye on, Zi Yun Zhen still accepted the friend request!
Zhang Yu: Do you need the Dragon Vein Treasure Forging Manual Technique service?
Zi Yun Zhen: I'm sorry, I've already asked someone.
Zhang Yu: Is this from Senior Sister Ye Xingli's side? She's the one who sent me here.
Zhang Yu: Which Law Treasure do you plan to infuse with the Dragon Vein Power?
Zi Yun Zhen replied with a skeptical look, "You know the Dragon Vein Treasure Forging Manual?"
Zi Yun Zhen added: I have very high standards; I don't need anyone with a low skill level.
Zi Yun Zhen: Junior brother, you just transferred from the Civil Engineering Department, you should focus on your studies first.
As soon as Zhang Yu saw the reply, he knew he couldn't pretend he hadn't seen it!
After all, in the craft of weapon crafting, an individual's reputation is just as important as brand value.
For example, is the technology of Extreme Tiger Brand really inferior to that of the Ten Thousand Craftsmen Sect? Or inferior to that of Vajra Mysterious Creation? In Zhang Yu's opinion, that's not necessarily true!
However, the Extreme Tiger Brand can't compete with the Ten Thousand Craftsmen Sect in terms of price, and its high-end models are not recognized by anyone outside of the Immortal Soldier University system!
This is the difference that reputation, brand value, and brand image bring!
The same applies to individual cultivators. A weapon-refining student who switched from the Civil Engineering Department might not necessarily be less skilled than a pure-blood weapon-refining student.
Zhang Yu thought it was absolutely not true!
But Zhang Yu understood that many people would have this prejudice!
At this point, he must protect his reputation in weapon crafting and his personal brand value just as he would protect the brand itself!
After all, before he Transfer Departments, he was still hiding behind Ye Xingli, but now he has to make his own name known!
How can you make money if you don't properly maintain your personal brand?
How can you cultivate yourself if you don't make money?
Especially since the conversation between the two people in front of you has been recorded in the chat history!
If Zhang Yu backs down like this, and Zi Yun Zhen keeps posting the chat history everywhere, pointing to the contents and saying, "When Zhang Yu first transferred to the Artifact Crafting Department, he didn't know anything and wanted to learn how to do customized services. I gave him a good scolding and he went to class obediently!"
That kind of dark history will probably stay with him for life. Every time he makes the news, whether it's good or bad, someone will jump out and mention it, which will greatly damage his personal brand!
Zhang Yu couldn't gamble that Zi Yun Zhen do that, since he didn't know her personality or character!
Although Zhang Yu didn't know many people in the Artifact Crafting Department, there happened to be one who could do something similar... although this person had now been reassigned to Civil Engineering!
That's already a pretty high percentage!
So Zhang Yu simply replied: My Dragon Vein Treasure Forging Manual is already Level 20, and I've taken a few orders from Sister Ye Xingli before, so my skill level in this area is naturally not a problem.
Zhang Yu: Zi Yun Zhen, if you have any questions about this, you can take a look at my Law Treasure, the "Taiyi Golden Liquid Pill".
Zi Yun Zhen clicked on it and immediately saw the parameter information of the other party's Law Treasure after it was connected to the internet. Her gaze immediately became serious!
This act of sending information about Law Treasure is similar to ancient cultivators appraising each other's magical Law Treasure; it's a form of communication among artifact-refining cultivators!
After all, no matter how eloquently you speak, it's not as convincing as directly showing off the Law Treasure you've crafted!
However, crafting Law Treasure is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and one cannot simply fight anyone to demonstrate their power!
At this point, appreciating the other party's magical Law Treasure is the best way to understand their artifact crafting skill!
In modern times, it's even simpler!
After all, the Law Treasure system has been summarized and compiled by the Ten Great Sects, and the various levels and parameters are clearly explained. Just by looking at it, one can roughly understand the level of the crafter. It is more useful than a resume for a weapon crafting cultivator!
What if you encounter a situation where you can't understand any of the parameters?
That simply means your weapon crafting skills are far inferior to theirs!
Purple Cloud then began to read it carefully, intending to give her a proper critique after finishing!
Temperature 39 degrees
99% of the Gang Qi is transmitted.
Mana Storage 999
64 layers of Spirit Energy Circuit
The Intelligent Artifact Spirit has not yet received 20 units of Dragon Vein infusion...
Zi Yun Zhen carefully read through the information line by line. Although she hadn't put much effort into the Taiyi Golden Liquid Pill and her skill level was only Level 10, she could still understand these parameters!
"Level 20 Taiyi Golden Liquid Pill!"
"It still requires the overlapping and fusion of five or more materials..."
"It has also undergone two refinements using the Dragon Vein Treasure Forging Manual..."
The more Zi Yun Zhen looked at it, the more she felt that the refining level of this Taiyi Golden Liquid Pill was extremely high!
"Is this really Zhang Yu Yulian's?"
And at the end of each parameter is the information of the refiner!
Refiner: Zhang Yu, Ten Thousand Laws University
Secondary Refining: Ten Thousand Laws University, Zhang Yu
