Zhang Yu had been eagerly anticipating Yu Xinghan's Level 3 Dao Seed for a long time.

After all, every bit of strength his companions gain can nourish him to go further.

As Yu Xinghan's Three-Eyed Divine Power reached the Level 3, Zhang Yu gradually understood some of the changes after a series of tests.

Previously, the Three-Eyed Divine Power mainly included the ability to copy other people's movements, observe the flow of Spiritual Energy energy, see clearly the preparation of moves, and have a 360-degree all-around perspective, as well as the ability to observe the human body in minute detail.

Now, the upgraded Three-Eyed Divine Power has the effect of Photographic Memory all kinds of martial arts moves!

It can be said that any style of boxing, swordsmanship, or knife technique, once seen by the Three-Eyed Divine Power, will be firmly memorized!

At the same time, if one can understand the flow of magical power in related martial arts, then watching it is like practicing it!

In other words, with the blessing of the Three-Eyed Divine Power, even without much personal training, one's martial arts level will naturally increase simply by watching others perform martial arts!

Once Zhang Yu understood this, the first thing that came to his mind was naturally the combination of the Three-Eyed Divine Power and the Feather Scroll!

"Will watching others practice increase Feather Scroll's training opportunities? If so..."

But after some attempts, Zhang Yu quickly realized it wouldn't work!

"Sigh, can't this Three-Eyed Divine Power affect Feather Scroll's cultivation progress?"

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "That's true. No matter how many Cultivation Method manuals I read or how many teachers I receive guidance from... these things that can theoretically improve my Cultivation Method can't actually advance Feather Scroll's cultivation!"

"The cultivation of Feather Scroll's Cultivation Method requires consistent and diligent practice, one step at a time!"

Although somewhat disappointed that the Three-Eyed Divine Power failed to affect Feather Scroll, Zhang Yu quickly discovered the true boost the upgraded Three-Eyed Divine Power provided to him!

"The effects of keen observation have been further enhanced, and the perception of the flow of magical power and Spiritual Energy energy has also been strengthened!"

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "If it's used to assist in refining magical artifacts, it will enhance my ability to process the Magical Power Circuit of magical Law Treasure, thereby increasing the efficiency and success rate of Runes etching!"

Zhang Yu nodded slightly, thinking to himself, "If there are any problems with the Magical Power Circuit of the Law Treasure during the future refining process, I can temporarily replace the Azure Lotus Sword Embryo (Spirit Root) with the Three-Eyed Divine Power (Spirit Root) to deal with some of the problems with the Magical Power Circuit!"

As for using the Three-Eyed Divine Power to observe martial arts and practice on a regular basis, the efficiency is too low for Zhang Yu. It would be better to use the Azure Lotus Sword Embryo more often to improve the adaptability of this Divine Spiritual Root!

On the other side, Yu Xinghan became excited after understanding the function of the Three-Eyed Divine Power!

Is watching a form of spiritual practice?

Yu Xinghan quickly pulled up the video recording of the Cultivation Method in his Eye Remains and started playing it. With each viewing, he felt that his understanding of the Cultivation Method became deeper and his mastery more profound, as if he had practiced it several times himself!

"Okay, okay!"

Yu Xinghan to himself, "If I work while watching videos, wouldn't that be like practicing Martial Arts every moment?"

Looking at Yu Xinghan's Level 3 Dao Seed, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Level 3 Dao Seed allows one to observe martial arts and practice. If it continues to level up, will it really allow one to learn someone else's Cultivation Method just by watching them once?"

However, a lingering worry arose in his heart. "Achieving this effect might not be a good thing. A Martial Arts like the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao, which can be learned after just one viewing... that would be troublesome!"

"And if it really comes to that, could the Three-Eyed Divine Power also become Divine Spiritual Root?"

"What if Yu Xinghan were to be discovered by others to have developed Divine Spiritual Root..."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu frowned slightly, and then he thought of Le Mulan again!

Whether it was Yu Xinghan's Three-Eyed Divine Power, which he might elevate to Divine Spiritual Root in the future, or Le Mulan's Deep Cold Magic Vein's Longevity ability, he sensed danger in them!

Zhang Yu glanced at Yu Xinghan and thought to himself, "To upgrade to level 4 of the Three-Eyed Divine Power, I need 8,000 mana, which is the level of the Golden Core Stage!"

"It's still early..."

"But in any case, we must become richer and stronger so that we can more confidently upgrade our Dao Seed level!"

Late May

Zhang Yu had originally planned to rent a laboratory with his senior sister Ye Xingli that day, but he ended up learning that she already had her own Artifact Forging Laboratory!

Stepping into the other person's laboratory and looking at the equipment on the lab benches, Zhang Yu asked enviously, "Senior, how much did this lab cost?"

Zhang Yu knew that for weapon-refining cultivators, having their own laboratory made a huge difference, essentially placing them in two completely different classes!

Having your own laboratory not only saves you a lot of money on rent, but also eliminates the hassle of queuing up to grab a laboratory and experimental equipment, allowing you to concentrate more time and energy on crafting!

Going a step further, that would be like Magnetic Extremes True Lord, having his own production line capable of mass-producing Law Treasure and Dharma Skeleton!

Ye Xingli smiled faintly and said, "It didn't cost me much; it was mainly an investment from the Ten Thousand Craftsmen Sect!"

"They hired me to improve some of their products!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yu felt even more envious, thinking to himself, "My senior sister is indeed very talented in weapon crafting. No wonder she was able to win a place in the top five of the Design Competition among all the schools!"

Zhang Yu knew that every Law Treasure, once created, had enormous potential for improvement!

The first person to create a flying sword was very skilled, but the technology contained in that first flying sword is absolutely no match for any Expert Level flying sword currently on the market!

In order to compete with each other and constantly innovate and improve their products, companies often not only have their own cultivators conduct research and development, but also hire outstanding teachers and students from universities to collaborate on development!

The Ye Xingli in front of me, Ye Xingli, is clearly a student who has gained the company's favor!

Ye Xingli continued, "There are six lab tables here, but I usually only use five!"

"If you'd like, I can rent you a workspace. As for the lab equipment, just keep an eye on my lab schedule and you can use it when I'm not using it. The rental fee will be the cheapest option!"

In Zhang Yu's eyes, Ye Xingli was a prodigy with a Dao Seed and Heavenly Prodigy!

In Ye Xingli's eyes, Zhang Yu was also a prodigy with talent in weapon crafting, the attention of the Magnetic Extremes True Lord, and Heavenly Prodigy opportunity to Spirit Transformation Magic Skeleton.

Especially in the last two months, Zhang Yu has received a lot of orders for Law Treasure from Ye Heili, which has made Ye Xingli aware that Zhang Yu has mastered several more artifact refining Cultivation Method, making her value her junior brother even more.

Just as the two were talking, Zi Yun Zhen, dressed in a robe with the Dharma Skeleton badge, and two other students entered Ye Xingli's laboratory!

Zhang Yu messaged her privately, "Senior sister, is this the assistant you hired?"

Zhang Yu knew that many weapon-refining cultivators would hire assistants to improve their weapon-refining efficiency!

After all, besides the difficult problems, there are also many troublesome things in the process of refining weapons!

For example, cleaning and refining materials, extracting certain elements, organizing certain documents... many repetitive and dirty tasks are both time-consuming and labor-intensive!

If these tasks can be delegated to assistants, the weapon-refining cultivator will naturally have more time and energy to do more important things!

Many students Artifact Crafting Department are also very willing to take on the role of an assistant!

After all, during this process, he could practice his weapon-forging skills without renting a laboratory or buying materials, and he would also have the guidance of a senior!

Ye Xingli nodded and sent a private message: The Law Treasure I'm going to improve this time is related to Sha Qi.

Ye Xingli: Do you know how troublesome this kind of Di Sha Qi is?

Ye Xingli: Poor people have to deal with Sha Qi themselves, while wealthier cultivators will buy special Law Treasure. But I must tell you, when dealing with Sha Qi, even the best magical Law Treasure is no match for an assistant.

Ye Xingli winked at Zhang Yu, smiled, and privately messaged him. "Faced with the unpredictable and insidious pollution of Sha Qi, only an assistant is the best protective Law Treasure."

Ye Xingli asked again, "I heard from Master that you are not planning to participate in the Design Competition, but instead intend to directly create Prototype Machine of the Heavenly Sun Brilliant God."

Zhang Yu replied: Yes, that's what I'm planning. I've already been studying the design drawings recently.

Ye Xingli advised, "Isn't this a bit too ambitious? Actually, we should first participate in the Design Competition, find a way to obtain the Military-grade Cultivation Method, and then refining Military-grade Artifact will be a natural progression!"

Ye Xingli: Trying to create a prototype of Military-grade Artifact right off the bat will take a lot more effort.

In Ye Xingli's opinion, even if Zhang Yu has exceptional talent, without the support of Military-grade Artifact Military-grade Cultivation Method. It all requires gradual accumulation, and there are no shortcuts!

With Military-grade Cultivation Method, many steps can be skipped, allowing you to accomplish more in less time!

As for Design Competition, there are plenty of tips and shortcuts!

Zhang Yu replied, "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I know what I'm doing."

Ye Xingli shook her head inwardly, deciding not to try to persuade her any further!

She herself had similar thoughts before, believing that she was exceptionally talented and could do things that others could not, but she gave up after trying for half a month!

Zhang Yu in front of me is also too confident. He'll know to change course once he hits a wall!

But then Ye Xingli turned to look at Zi Yun Zhen and the other two, and said, "I've already told you about the work arrangements, haven't I?"

"Your task today is simple: prepare for my experiment tomorrow by cleaning and sorting all the materials..."

Zi Yun Zhen asked curiously, "Senior sister, is Zhang Yu also here to be an assistant?"

Ye Xingli said calmly, "Zhang Yu came to borrow one of my lab benches and some experimental equipment. You don't need to worry about what happens to him here!"

In the time that followed, Zhang Yu frequently visited Ye Xingli to practice his weapon-refining Cultivation Method!

Before he knew it, by the end of May, he had successfully completed the sixth Cultivation Method of the Artifact Forging Prodigy!

Beginner Level One Artifact Forging Prodigy (6/6): The training effect of Artifact Production Techniques is doubled. Seeing the effect of the Artifact Forging Prodigy, Zhang Yu's eyes narrowed, and he thought to himself, "Good!"

Zhang Yu knew that this so-called Artifact Production Techniques was different from the weapon-refining cultivation Cultivation Method like the <Divine Fire Control Mirror>, which enhanced weapon-refining abilities. It referred to the techniques of creating various Law Treasure according to design blueprints!

Crafts like Azure Sand and Taiyi Golden Liquid Pill belong to the Artifact Production Techniques!

The so-called doubling of practice effect means that when Zhang Yu practices the production technique on a certain Law Treasure blueprint, each practice progress can be counted as 2 times in the Feather Scroll!

"Great! The University Sacred Body can only improve the efficiency of cultivating Cultivation Method, but this Artifact Forging Prodigy can improve my learning efficiency of blueprints!"

"After doubling the time, not only is the time saved by half to train a Level 20 Law Treasure, but more importantly, the number of Law Treasure needed during the training process is also reduced by half. This is equivalent to saving half the Law Treasure!"

"However, with the Taiqing Realm, I only needed to simulate the learning process of the blueprints in the Spirit Realm, without incurring material costs!"

"But regardless, cutting the time in half is a real achievement!"

Seeing such results from the first level of the Artifact Forging Prodigy, Zhang Yu became increasingly confident in his ability to create the Prototype Machine of the Heavenly Sun Brilliant God in the future!
