The magical power circuits combined with the basic structure can then unleash immortal power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although overall it seems like only three steps, in reality, each of these steps, depending on the increase in complexity and technical content of the magical artifact, can be split into dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of smaller steps without surprise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And this is still the most basic, old-fashioned magical artifact.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nowadays, magical artifacts on the market basically all need to add talismans and communicate with the spirit realm network.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Many also require bestowing an artifact spirit, achieving basic intelligence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Going further, there are high-intelligence artifact spirits that can allow magical artifacts and magical remains to self-maintain, self-learn, and self-enhance...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu secretly thought, \"Talismans and artifact spirits are not considered for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once I have completely digested the freshman knowledge of the Artifact Refining Department, it will be time to practice refining materials, the basic structure, and magical power circuits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu understood that if learning and understanding this knowledge of the Artifact Refining Department could be considered taking one meter, then truly applying this knowledge in practice to create magical artifacts would still be another ninety-nine meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that ninety-nine-meter distance, he would not only need to learn how to apply this knowledge, but also gain much hands-on experience, and cultivate many cultivation techniques needed for artifact refining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the most important thing... is to have money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Laboratory, material costs, design blueprints... it's all money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu secretly thought, \"Good thing I joined the Civil Engineering Department first, otherwise if I had directly entered the Artifact Refining Department, I would probably have gone bankrupt by now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next, while learning the knowledge of the Artifact Refining Department, I'll continue cultivating techniques, work part-time to save money, and prepare for future artifact refining practice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When leaving the Taiqing Realm, Zhang Yu took a glance at the data on his Feather Book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than three months since the start of sophomore year, his Dao Heart had reached level 16 (26.6%), and his mana had increased to 848.3 units.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the improvement in mana quality was gradually slowing down, it had still reached 176%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for physical strength, due to focusing on construction techniques, although various methods were used and a lot of money was spent, the increase had been much slower than before, and it had just reached level 16.49.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gang Qi conductivity and the maximum distance of Gang Qi conduction had both risen with his cultivation base, reaching 62% and 61 meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, regarding the progress of the Martial Saint Body, Zhang Yu had already cultivated five techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the sixth technique, Zhang Yu had chosen the Star Sky Meridian Surge Method, and it had already been cultivated to level 13.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seven more levels, and the first layer effect of the Martial Saint Body can be activated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wonder how the Martial Saint Body at the Foundation Establishment stage differs from the Martial Saint Embryo at the Qi Refining stage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a message flickered in Zhang Yu's eye remains; he opened it and saw it was a message from Bai Zhenzhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zhenzhen: Yu Zi, I'm here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu's eyes lit up, but thinking that she had just arrived at the university town of Wanfa University, she would certainly need time to settle in and prepare for the competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was thinking of letting Bai Zhenzhen attend to her own affairs, she sent another message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zhenzhen: Mom misses you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zhenzhen: Where shall we meet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zhenzhen: Find a more secluded place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanfa University Town, 66th Floor\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a corner with no surveillance and no traces of people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu suddenly found himself a little nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuji said, \"Kid, your heartbeat is a bit fast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu said, \"After all, it's been almost 17 months since I last saw Ah Zhen. Even though we communicate every day, I still feel like there's a barrier...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuji said, \"So that's how it is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuji thought to herself, \"I thought it was the effect of the aphrodisiac meat, making you excited just thinking about seeing Bai Zhenzhen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Fuji thought again, \"Although Zhang Yu hasn't said it out loud, and that girl Bai Zhenzhen has been trying hard to restrain and conceal it, both of them should gradually be feeling the gap between them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A huge disparity in wealth can turn the difference between people into the difference between humans and gods. Let alone under the wealth infusion of a Transformation God Lord, creating a chasm-like gap.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although Zhang Yu may have a chance to bridge this distance in the future, and Bai Zhenzhen's future is also very worrisome, at least at this moment the two of them are no longer in the same world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuji sighed inwardly, \"Especially since Bai Zhenzhen asked him out this time and proactively requested a secret location where they wouldn't be discovered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Would Zhang Yu think... that Bai Zhenzhen doesn't want people to discover their relationship? That Zhang Yu is someone she's ashamed of?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuji couldn't fully confirm this, but based on her many years of experience roaming Kunxu, it wasn't completely impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And if it really is like this... then it means that although Bai Zhenzhen is still in contact with Zhang Yu, their feelings have already changed without either of them noticing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or rather... from the fact that Bai Zhenzhen actively supervises Zhang Yu, perhaps she has unconsciously placed herself in a higher position than Zhang Yu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This might also be unavoidable. After all, with the support of the Transformation God Lord, Bai Zhenzhen inevitably has more superior cultivation conditions, a higher cultivation perspective, and a broader cognitive dimension.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even subconsciously... she would inevitably believe that her understanding of the Immortal Dao is above Zhang Yu's. Her judgments on the Immortal Dao are also above Zhang Yu's.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuji thought to herself, \"Thinking about it this way, their relationship is almost destined to change. Then... is this also within the consideration of the Seven Emotions God Lord? Is it related to the mystery of the Ultimate Emotion Sword Dao?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph, if I were the one pulling the strings, I'd seize the time to squeeze benefits out of Bai Zhenzhen, take as much as I can while the opportunity is here. Even if we lose contact in the future, I wouldn't feel bad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Otherwise, wouldn't all the energy, resources, and time invested in this woman be wasted?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, it's a pity that Zhang Yu, that silly boy, doesn't have my cold and rational way of thinking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Fuji was weighing the matter in her mind, a night breeze blew over Zhang Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, Zhang Yu felt a slender, powerful body hug him tightly from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yu-zi, it's me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Time is limited, so I'll just start directly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Ah Zhen's voice, Zhang Yu was about to turn around excitedly when he heard her continue, \"It's a bit big now, bear with it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, Zhang Yu understood what Bai Zhenzhen meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he felt her True Spirit Root squeezing in from behind, point by point, forcing its way into his dantian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after evolving into a Divine Spirit Root, the size of the True Spirit Root far exceeded its previous form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu thought to himself, \"So Ah Zhen asked me to find a secluded place because she wanted to lend me her True Spirit Root?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Zhang Yu felt Bai Zhenzhen's breath, Bai Zhenzhen's intent, Bai Zhenzhen's sensations... constantly pouring into his body, merging into his body through the True Spirit Root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu still remembered that back on the first level of Kunxu, when he borrowed the True Spirit Root, it would adjust his physical body due to its unique adaptability, transferring the benefits from Bai Zhenzhen's side to Zhang Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now Bai Zhenzhen's Spirit Root had evolved from a Heaven Spirit Root into a Divine Spirit Root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On top of that, Zhang Yu hadn't borrowed the True Spirit Root for a very long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the adjustment brought by the Divine Spirit Root at this moment was even more intense, causing Zhang Yu's flesh and blood to tremble, his meridians to contract and expand, and his dantian to feel as if it was being forcibly stretched open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zhenzhen said, \"The difference between us is a bit big now. The process will be somewhat intense; you have to endure it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was seen that the Qihai Spirit Root in Zhang Yu's dantian was completely suppressed with the appearance of the True Spirit Root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The True Spirit Root that had evolved into a Divine Spirit Root directly took its place, temporarily taking over Zhang Yu's spirit root position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu was shocked inwardly, \"After evolving into a Divine Spirit Root, the True Spirit Root can even do something like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Bai Zhenzhen's laughter came to his ears: \"How about it? Isn't the True Spirit Root awesome now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've been trying to figure out how to make the True Spirit Root migrate into your body, which already has a spirit root.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu was about to answer when he felt his entire body's flesh and blood as if being torn apart, an unprecedented pain surging through him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu couldn't help but curse in a low voice, \"Damn it... why does it hurt so much?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zhenzhen encouraged him from behind: \"Hold on, Yuzi. Once you get through it, it won't hurt anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then my true spiritual root can be used to strengthen you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuji also said excitedly: \"Come on, Zhang Yu! This is a divine spiritual root! A good thing that many people dream of but can't get!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must accept this benefit! Hold on! Hold on!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long time, Zhang Yu felt the pain gradually fade. Although there was still some discomfort, it was within a range that did not affect his basic movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Letting out a long breath, Zhang Yu turned around and looked at Bai Zhenzhen, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Looking at this close friend who had given him the divine spiritual root as soon as she arrived, he said helplessly, \"A Zhen, doing it like this is too dangerous. What if someone finds out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zhenzhen smiled carelessly: \"That's why I told you to find a hidden place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, the concealment function of my divine spiritual root is very strong. The moment it enters your body, it's very hard to detect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu said worriedly: \"It's still too risky. What if people find out that your divine spiritual root can be transferred like this, even replacing someone else's spiritual root...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could finish, Bai Zhenzhen's hug sealed all his remaining words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yuzi... Mom missed you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu hugged Bai Zhenzhen in front of him, thinking of their three years of high school together, never leaving each other and struggling together, he also said softly, \"A Zhen, Dad missed you too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuji was anxious inwardly: \"What are you doing? Hurry up and try the divine spiritual root first. Why waste time? Are you even college students? Don't you have any ambition?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1996,"2026-05-29T04:54:42.391Z","2026-06-01T04:29:12.818Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","67a59b05162e94f92bad3e452a7ffb66651a2ebf74e2e94a68dd0aee46233c17","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-373","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-371",711,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fno-money-what-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
