When infused with magical power, it continuously absorbs spirit energy as day and night alternate, regulating the balance of yang qi and yin essence within the body, thereby tempering the flesh and strengthening the blood and muscles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yin-Yang Bracelet…\" Ye Xingli thought, \"This is a new magic artifact refined by Master, hasn't it been released yet? He actually gave it to Director Gao, who lent it to Zhang Yu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master is really too good to Director Gao…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Ye Xingli sighed, \"Director Gao really went out of his way to support your forging, even specially borrowing this body-tempering magic artifact for you, so you can temper your body even while forging.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu was startled and quickly denied, \"Director Gao doesn't know I'm forging.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Xingli was slightly taken aback. \"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu added, \"Senior, Director Gao doesn't like me forging. Please remember not to reveal what I'm doing here to anyone in the Civil Engineering Department.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Every time I come here to forge, I have my roommate book the lab for me, just to avoid leaking any information.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Zhang Yu thought to himself, \"That Chiji Zhenjun guy—didn't he say Ye Xingli would keep it secret? Why does it feel like he has no sense of secrecy at all, even going so far as to say Director Gao supports my forging?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Xingli, however, was slightly dazed, thinking to himself, \"I remember Master clearly said that Director Gao wanted Zhang Yu to switch departments.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the contradiction in their statements, Ye Xingli frowned slightly and thought, \"Why does Zhang Yu say Director Gao doesn't like him forging… Did I remember wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Xingli confirmed he hadn't misremembered, and one thing he could be sure of: both Zhang Yu and Master had asked him not to mention this matter to Director Gao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something's off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is extremely off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be that the one who wants Zhang Yu to switch departments isn't Director Gao, but…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure appeared in his mind, and Ye Xingli quickly stopped his speculation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Zhang Yu, who was still refining Grade 5 Tianqing Sand, he murmured to himself, \"It's impossible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It makes no sense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master and Director Gao have been friends for centuries.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There must be something I haven't figured out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Xingli also recalled the relationship between Zhang Yu and Wen Wuyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chiji Zhenjun, Director Gao, Zhang Yu, Wen Wuyan, the Artifact Forging Department, the Civil Engineering Department, Tianjian University…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Ye Xingli felt as if he were shrouded in thick fog—the whole matter was unfathomably deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanfa University City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basement Level 1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu and Le Mulan were heading down toward Basement Level 9 through the magnetic channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu asked curiously, \"Are you also going to the Tianlan Pharmaceutical factory?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Le Mulan nodded and said, \"Our department has always had a cooperative relationship with Tianlan Pharmaceutical.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tianlan Pharmaceutical is expanding a new production line, and my mentor asked me to help with the line adjustments.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since she became a disciple of her mentor, Le Mulan had begun studying the technique of self-produced medicine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called self-produced medicine technique uses the physical body as a cauldron and magical power as fuel, refining the ingested medicinal herbs into various pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This approach, unlike pharmaceutical factories, cannot produce medicine in large quantities, but it has the advantage that cultivation level is tied to medicine-making grade, eliminating the need to spend a lot of money and time setting up production lines, and the direction of medicine production is also easy to adjust, making it very suitable for a high-end medical production route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, processes like this adjustment of the production line are also very suitable for cultivators like Le Mulan to participate in testing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Le Mulan looked at Zhang Yu and asked, \"Are you here to join the pharmaceutical plant expansion too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu nodded, and the image of Director Gao calling him to participate in the pharmaceutical plant project appeared in his mind. This pharmaceutical plant project involved a large daily supply of medicine, included underground construction work, and was very suitable for cultivating the second ultimate technique of the Seven Ultimates of Civil Engineering, the Great Wilderness Moving Mountain Force, and the pay was quite good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director Gao probably wants me to eat and drink well on this construction site, focus on training the Great Wilderness Moving Mountain Force every day, and meanwhile improve my physical strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although I actually already upgraded the Great Wilderness Moving Mountain Force to level 20 not long ago...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu thought to himself: \"But coming to this site to take more medicine and earn more money is still a good deal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Zhang Yu now had the money-burning project of artifact forging, so he was willing to do anything that could earn more money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a blink, the two had arrived at the gate of Tianlan Pharmaceutical's plant, where they saw a large group of Qi-training kids gathered, apparently waiting for something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some among them noticed Zhang Yu and Le Mulan, their eyes sweeping over the rankings above the two's heads from Wanfa University, and a trace of awe and envy appeared in their gazes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the rankings on those Qi-training kids' heads, Zhang Yu thought to himself: \"Guangliao Technical Vocational College?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are these all junior college students?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, amid the crowd, a line of spirit world projected text appeared at the plant gate: This recruitment for operators, wage 0.0003 spirit coins\u002Fhour, registration →.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the text appeared, the Qi-training kids on site stirred and all squeezed toward the direction indicated by the arrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching this scene, Zhang Yu finally understood—these junior college students were here to apply for jobs at the plant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Xiao Qingxuan appeared in front of Zhang Yu and said casually, \"You're here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perfect timing, there's a new workshop that needs to be set up urgently. Use the Great Wilderness Moving Mountain Force to help dig the foundation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu said goodbye to Le Mulan and followed Xiao Qingxuan into the plant, then discovered they were heading in the same direction as the junior college students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curious, Zhang Yu asked, \"Are these junior college students also going to the new production line?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qingxuan nodded: \"It's quite urgent, and there's no blueprint. I'll take you to see the workshop they're currently using. We'll just build one identical to it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu followed him to the entrance of a workshop, where he heard a plant manager speaking: \"We don't hire people with only Eye Prostheses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One junior college student said, \"I've trained this physical body hard for eight years, through day and night tempering, consuming countless medicines—it won't lose to a Dharma Prosthesis.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The manager sneered, looking at him, \"Do you think your self-trained physical body can compare to a Dharma Prosthesis developed by experts, manufactured by big companies, updated generation after generation, and embodying the wisdom of countless people?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Plus, assembly line work requires standardization. Everyone's physical body differs in size and shape—how do you standardize that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want to enter the factory, install a Dharma Prosthesis first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don't have enough money, we can provide a rental.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you're not even willing to spend money, why are you out here working?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the junior college student hesitated, he saw many of his classmates rush forward: \"I'll rent! I'll rent!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu didn't think much of it—in Layer Two, whether as a student or job seeker, a Dharma Prosthesis was a huge advantage; he was already used to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, he walked into the workshop with Xiao Qingxuan and suddenly noticed junior college students being sent onto the assembly line one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sell your hands and feet or store them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If storing, the storage fee will be deducted from your wages.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the sounds of slicing and cutting, Zhang Yu saw the junior college students on the assembly line having their hands and feet severed, their chests torn open, and then being uniformly fitted with tool-type hand Dharma Prostheses and organ Dharma Prostheses for digestion and endocrine adjustment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, living human bodies were sent onto the assembly line, blood flying everywhere, and in a moment they transformed into various models of standardized line operators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stunned by the sight, Zhang Yu couldn't help saying, \"This, the hell... a slaughterhouse?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qingxuan said, \"How is it slaughter? They're just uniformly switching to work Dharma Prostheses to facilitate installation on the production line.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only after the digestive system is uniformly adjusted can they be bulk-fed through feeding tubes...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After the endocrine system is adjusted, it can enhance the absorption of drugs...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, a factory is not a school; operators work on the assembly line 24 hours a day, and all maintenance work is also carried out on the assembly line.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the operators continuously being produced on the assembly line, Zhang Yu felt as if these people had turned into one part after another, eventually being assembled onto the pharmaceutical factory's production line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And from Xiao Qingxuan's introduction, Zhang Yu learned that the pharmaceutical factory had only recently hired more operators due to expansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The factory building Zhang Yu was to help build today was the assembly line factory for producing operators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qingxuan reminded, \"Use your eye skeleton to record the factory's data; try to replicate it one-to-one later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the speed at which the assembly line continuously produced operators, Zhang Yu couldn't help but say, \"Isn't this enough?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qingxuan said, \"The operators produced here are not just for this one factory area; they also supply other factory areas.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Recently, the intensity of the University War has increased again, and drug sales have risen. Many pharmaceutical companies judge that the war will further expand in the future and have decided to build new production lines. There is still a considerable gap in standardized operators on the assembly line.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the book review section, the pinned post has been crowdfunding everyone's brain computing power these days to collect meme pack suggestions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1892,"2026-05-29T04:54:42.391Z","2026-06-01T04:29:12.818Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","d8b41a2a0dff90764a73c5817323626303d2e63b28d8aee8a05cab8a63069e78","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-396","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-394",711,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fno-money-what-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
