Did you think that by sneaking into Youming University, you could find weekend jobs?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They were going to sell you to the underground human-animal factory...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at the believers' even angrier looks, Cang Lanyu smiled slightly, as if seeing his ad revenue increase again and his income grow a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For him, as long as people looked at him, he made money and grew stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Zhang Pianpian established communication with Cang Lanyu and said, \"I'm done over here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flicker of his mind, Cang Lanyu descended a Spirit Realm projection beside Zhang Pianpian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scanning the underground base before him, Cang Lanyu thought to himself, \"This Zhang Pianpian isn't highly ranked, but she works fast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, Cang Lanyu looked at the subdued believers around him and suddenly frowned, thinking, \"This trace...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He extracted the footage recorded by the surrounding surveillance and Eye Skeletons, and his heart skipped a beat as he looked at the content.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure enough... she forcibly controlled these believers' Law Skeletons, artifacts, and even their physical bodies. This is the Dao technique from the Starshift Spirit-Change Art. When did this woman learn a military-grade Dao technique from the Talisman Department? I don't recall anyone among those who passed the military certification...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Lanyu quickly called up Zhang Pianpian's records.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first glance, they seemed ordinary, so he broke through the hidden information inside, only to find there were still classified parts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After trying to crack the classified section, he immediately received a warning, and his heart shook once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it a military position?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Lanyu was extremely surprised. \"Who the hell is this woman? She actually has a military position granted directly by the Heavenly Court? Has she already been selected as a candidate for the Divine Body?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Pianpian looked at Cang Lanyu beside her and said, \"Senior, done looking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Lanyu was momentarily stunned. For an instant, he was unsure whether her words carried a double meaning, or whether she had sensed his prying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, he vaguely felt that she might be deliberately revealing the power of the military-grade Dao technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Pianpian continued, \"As things stand now, the Weekend Cult does have support from Youming University behind it, but it might not be limited to just Youming University's support.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides that, the believers of the Weekend Cult are also buying Potion Coins.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suppressing his unease and doubt, Cang Lanyu nodded and said, \"How can you have weekends without money? Thinking you can throw a little money into Potion Coins and then support yourself by working weekends every month—that's exactly the kind of thing these fools would believe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I didn't expect that the Weekend Cult itself is also promoting Potion Coins.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Lanyu rubbed his chin and analyzed, \"Maybe the Potion Coin scheme isn't just something Hehuan University is running. Youming University and other universities... might have a hand in it too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Pianpian thought to herself, \"That being the case, counterattacks from the other universities should be coming soon, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, Zhang Pianpian sent a message to warn Zhang Yu, so that her little brother wouldn't accidentally get caught up in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the days that followed, aside from studying, Zhang Yu spent his time working part-time while cultivating the Dragon Pulse Perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, it was late November, and that day Zhang Yu had pushed the Dragon Pulse Perception to the 16th level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a series of shouts and crashing sounds suddenly came from the construction site on the 669th floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu turned his head and saw a worker rampaging through the site, smashing things everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gone mad?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the worker being subdued by security and dragged away, Zhang Yu was utterly confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a moment later, something even more astonishing happened to Zhang Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A divine light fell from the sky, directly immobilizing another worker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the other person's soul being forcibly extracted, Zhang Yu was greatly shocked and said, \"What is happening?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But immediately after, more divine light descended from the sky, like pillars connecting heaven and earth that directly guided the souls of workers one by one to the spirit world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu opened his mouth and said, \"What on earth is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way back to his dormitory, Zhang Yu could see beams of light falling from time to time, turning people who were full of life just moments ago into corpses in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corpses were quickly processed and decomposed by the divine light, then loaded into flying iron coffins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, messages kept popping up in Zhang Yu's ocular frame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Storm Warning] Urgent! The financial storm caused by Qiongjiang Coin is estimated to be about level 1.3. A small-scale debt recovery phenomenon will occur in your area.

Luckily it's only level 1.3, at most some chaos, not a catastrophic disaster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu asked, \"Then what is this warning message for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuji explained, \"It's both to pacify and to deter, so that people don't cause trouble in the chaos.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But that was the purpose long ago. Now the efficiency of the Orthodox Gods is getting higher and higher, and they are becoming more professional in handling such matters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A level 1.3 financial storm is far below their work capacity limit, so no major chaos will occur.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But as for that Qiongjiang Coin, see what exactly is happening.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu nodded and quickly looked at the situation of Qiongjiang Coin through the spirit world, only to see the coin price plummeting like a dive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened? Why did it plummet so much all of a sudden?\" Zhang Yu clicked on a related news article and read: \"Hehuan University has a high-intelligence artifact spirit riot, large numbers of artifact spirits escape.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wondered to himself, what does the escape of artifact spirits have to do with the plummet of Qiongjiang Coin?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu continued reading and found that the escaped high-intelligence artifact spirits all seemed to be under the Qiongjiang Divine Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought to himself, \"Is this an AI crisis?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Zhang Yu was puzzled, Feng Tingting sent a message: \"Did you see? The Qiongjiang Divine Lord's dharma bodies have rebelled and run away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu: \"What dharma bodies?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Tingting: \"The most important dharma bodies of the Dual Cultivation Great Dao!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Tingting: \"The Qiongjiang Divine Lord's yin artifacts and dharma bodies are all made with high-intelligence artifact spirits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Tingting: \"This time these high-intelligence artifact spirits rebelled and directly ran away with the Qiongjiang Divine Lord's yin artifacts!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu: \"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Tingting: \"Yin artifacts at Hehuan University are one of the most important production tools. The Qiongjiang Divine Lord suddenly lost a large number of production tools, so who knows how much Qiongjiang Coin will drop now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell...\" Zhang Yu thought to himself, \"What is this? The yin artifacts of a Nascent Soul Divine Lord became spirits and ran away?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuji said, \"By themselves, these high-intelligence artifact spirits could at most escape through the spirit world. How could they take the yin artifacts with them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There must be someone behind this who helped these yin artifacts escape.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the following time, Zhang Yu occasionally scanned the news, and soon saw more messy rumors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some said this batch of high-intelligence yin artifacts joined the Dual Cultivation Sect and ran for dual cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others said this batch of high-intelligence yin artifacts joined an artifact spirit protection organization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also claims that these yin artifacts were lured by the Unemployed Demon Cult and apprenticed themselves to Old Man Unemployed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu was just getting into it when he soon found that the related news articles were becoming fewer and fewer, and quickly disappeared entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuji sighed and said, \"Hehuan University has activated spirit world spells and started to kill the news.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu glanced at the news window that was just viewable but now could no longer be refreshed, and remarked, \"They act fast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I remember in a few days, there will be another Thousand Cultivators Assembly, right? Now that all the yin artifacts are gone, what will they do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, Zhang Yu searched for related news and found that the Qiongjiang Divine Lord announced that the Thousand Cultivators Assembly would proceed as scheduled, and that she had a large reserve of dual cultivation tools that could fully support the assembly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu remembered, wasn't Ping Han going to participate in this assembly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the other person's social feed and saw that he had posted a large number of pictures of yang artifact dharma bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The text under the pictures read: \"Everyone don't panic. If there are no yin artifacts, there are still yang artifacts. I've tried them! The effect is no worse than yin artifacts!

Especially the high-intelligence artifact spirit inside; if it catches even the slightest opportunity, it will slip out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These few samples alone are still too few.
