Ciji Zhenjun's words were the prudent ones; he should indeed collect more data and also let this Zhang Yu cool off for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Qiongjiang Woman Forty-Eight watched Zhang Yu's retreating figure and thought: \"Someone capable of triggering the non-interference list.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wonder what his situation is… could he be a bit like me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way out of the lab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xinghan kept pressing Zhang Yu about his feelings during the test, and finally said with envy: \"Sigh, your luck is just too good—you increased your Tian Kunlun's Mountain-Shifting Divine Power by so much in one go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu said, \"I'd rather not have had this kind of luck-fueled improvement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed: \"The most important thing in cultivation is to rely on oneself. Only the power gained through down-to-earth, step-by-step hard training is the best and the most solid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, Zhang Yu returned to the construction site and started a new job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this experiment didn't bring him any reward, it allowed him to openly display the power of his Level 15 Tian Kunlun's Mountain-Shifting Divine Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, at the construction site, a series of roars rang out; under the tearing force of an invisible power, the entire mountain suddenly disintegrated and collapsed, rushing up into the sky like a black dragon, hovering in the air, blotting out the sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene—like a natural disaster—Zhao Tianxing, Mo Tianyi, Hu Yuntao, and the other workers were all stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Zhang Yu, who seemed to stand atop the black dragon's head and, with a wave of his hand, could shake the earth and move mountains, Zhao Tianxing thought to himself: \"Zhang Yu… seems to have grown a lot stronger again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling the days when Zhang Yu used to eat at the same table with him in high school, Zhao Tianxing now felt deeply emotional: \"Before I knew it, Zhang Yu has reached a level that we can hardly imagine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Zhang Yu, who had pushed Tian Kunlun's Mountain-Shifting Divine Power to Level 15, his whole body felt comfortable, as if his cage had been swapped for a larger one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally, I can have a few less restraints and bring out a bit more of my strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Director Gao sent him a message, asking about his experiment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu then repeated the same words he had said to Tianzhang Zhenjun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Gao then asked Zhang Yu to see him the next day, wanting to test his cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, it wasn't that Director Gao didn't trust Zhang Yu. After all, with Tianzhang Zhenjun's testimony and Ciji Zhenjun present, Director Gao believed that Zhang Yu's increase in cultivation was indeed caused by this experiment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His main concern was that this increase in cultivation might have some adverse side effects, which was why he wanted to conduct a test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the following period, Zhang Yu participated in the experiment, after which his cultivation soared, and news of his Heavenly Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power breaking through to Level 15 spread like wildfire in the Civil Engineering Department. For a time, he became the envy of everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu, however, was unimpressed, since this cultivation was originally the result of his own hard work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued studying, cultivating, and working overtime every day, accumulating his strength bit by bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And on this day, inside the Artifact Refining Laboratory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the violent surge of lightning, the surrounding equipment tightly bound it. After a moment, a thumb-sized metallic square seal appeared before Zhang Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a new magical artifact he had refined, called the Thunder-Suppressing Seal, capable of inhaling and exhaling thunder, forming lightning strikes for protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when facing long-range attacks like flying swords, it could launch an instantaneous lightning strike, deflecting the sword's direction and canceling out the momentum of the sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If multiple Thunder-Suppressing Seals were available, they could even form a small formation, laying down layers of lightning nets for defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Zhang Yu refined this Thunder-Suppressing Seal was naturally to make up for his own flying sword defense capabilities, preparing for the upcoming confrontation with Heaven Sword University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My basic data has already reached the limit of the Foundation Establishment stage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But in terms of actual strength, I am far from being at the Foundation Establishment limit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu thought to himself: \"A student who has only mastered one military-grade cultivation method should only be considered at the third tier in the strength hierarchy of the top ten undergraduate programs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I still need to master military-grade magical artifacts, military-grade Dharma remains, and gain more military-grade power to be considered a top-tier university student.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Zhang Yu understood that for someone who had already mastered the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power, the Civil Engineering Department could hardly offer him further room for improvement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I want to master military-grade artifacts, military-grade Dharma remains, and even more military-grade cultivation methods, I must go to the Artifact Refining Department.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at this moment, Zhang Yu's accumulation in artifact refining, aside from updating his magical artifacts to strengthen his power, was also building a foundation for his future cultivation in the Artifact Refining Department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In a little over half a year, it will be time to switch departments.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope everything goes smoothly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Zhang Yu received a message from Ciji Zhenjun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ciji Zhenjun: Go to the laboratory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ciji Zhenjun: Tianzhang Zhenjun has something to discuss with you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ciji Zhenjun: Try to cooperate with his work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the tests with Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan concluded, the project team arranged for many more groups of people to undergo testing, but none were successful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because this series of experiments had taken quite a long time, and the project team's decryption work had yet to yield results, some people began to voice their dissatisfaction, even suggesting replacing the person in charge of the project.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was at this moment that news spread of Zhang Yu from the Civil Engineering Department breaking through to Level 15 in Heavenly Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power, which was seen as an achievement of the Yin Artifact decryption project.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the laboratory, Tianzhang Zhenjun said to Zhang Yu before him: \"The progress you made in your cultivation method during the experiment demonstrates that our university's progress in Yin Artifact technology has reached an inter-university leading level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After learning of this success, several principals have placed high hopes on this project.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Especially Wanhua Shenjun, who gave instructions hoping that we would continue our efforts and implement the technology as soon as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu's heart stirred. He was no longer a freshman; he had already learned a lot about many things and people in the school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that this Wanhua Shenjun was one of the three Nascent Soul deities of Wanfa University, in charge of the university's research in immortal path technology, overseeing the declaration of major research projects, formation of project teams, and transformation of technological achievements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that Yan Qianji from the Artifact Refining Department was precisely this Wanhua Shenjun's disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even Wanhua Shenjun is paying attention to this project?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu thought to himself that it was troublesome—his success in Heavenly Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power had nothing to do with Wanfa University's dual cultivation technique. What if it was exposed later?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianzhang Zhenjun thought to himself: \"Trouble. How could Qiongjiang Shenjun's dual cultivation technique be so easily fully cracked? The artifact spirit is not cooperating now, and if we forcibly crack it, data loss would be inevitable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Better to run a few more tests.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Heavenly Pattern True Lord planned to arrange another test for Zhang Yu and collect data.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just after they finished discussing the price and were about to start the test, they discovered that the yin artifact circled Zhang Yu once and then did nothing at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing this, Heavenly Pattern True Lord was slightly taken aback. He sent out another burst of magical power, only to see that the yin artifact still did not attack Zhang Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's going on?\" Heavenly Pattern True Lord wondered in his heart. \"It won't activate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Zhang Yu also sensed something was wrong. Watching the yin artifact circling back and forth, he thought to himself, Is it malfunctioning? Seems like Wanfa University's technology in this area isn't quite mature yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavenly Pattern True Lord tried repeatedly, and as the yin artifact remained inactive, his curiosity grew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It didn't even activate its detection function? This is a phenomenon that has never occurred before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Facing this Zhang Yu, either the yin artifact engages in normal dual cultivation and raises the target's cultivation, or it doesn't activate at all. Why would such a strange phenomenon happen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the next moment, after Heavenly Pattern True Lord repeatedly urged it, the yin artifact seemed to have finally had enough. With a whoosh, it drilled directly into Zhang Yu's palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jelly Woman 48 thought to herself: \"So annoying. Doesn't he know this is a target on the mutual non-interference list?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh well, let him try it himself. Once it's banned, he'll understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu pinched the diamond-shaped crystal-like object in his hand and looked at Heavenly Pattern True Lord with confusion: \"What's the deal with this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavenly Pattern True Lord stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and then mused to himself: \"Could it be that this yin artifact wants Zhang Yu to operate it manually, to use it himself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1950,"2026-05-29T04:54:59.518Z","2026-06-01T04:29:12.818Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","702edad9a1b949cff265322e567978160940dd21f41092672bcb9f736c62cdc4","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-463","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-461",711,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fno-money-what-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
