Chapter 481

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "What exactly does this yin artifact of the Qiongjiang Divine Lord intend to do?"

After deciding to use the yin artifact project to launder his cultivation level and even create a scam, Zhang Yu had communicated multiple times with Zhang Pianpian, learning much about the project's inside details, and further discovering that this yin artifact was not independently developed by Wanfa University, but came from the Qiongjiang Divine Lord.

At the same time, he had always had a question in his mind: why did the Qiongjiang Divine Lord's yin artifact choose him?

Just then, Zhang Pianpian sent another message: she seemed to have heard the call of other high-intelligence artifact spirits, searching for them.

After a brief pause, Zhang Pianpian replied: She also said your talent was good, which is why she chose you.

Upon seeing the message from Zhang Pianpian, Zhang Yu's mind jolted, and he sighed inwardly, "I knew it!"

"I knew I had talent in this area."

"If I had applied to Huanxi University back then, my achievements might not be worse than now. Perhaps I would already have become a Huanxi prodigy, discussing the Dao with the Huanxi principal and debating mysteries with the Qiongjiang Divine Lord."

Hearing Zhang Yu's inner sigh, Fuji thought to herself, "Are you really thinking about discussing the Dao and mysteries? I'm too embarrassed to call you out."

But then thinking of Huanxi University's yang-pole class and yin-pole class, Zhang Yu shook his head and thought, "Although my talent is excellent, Huanxi University's talent cultivation model still has some flaws; it's not really suitable for me."

He still had questions he wanted to ask the artifact spirit, but under the surveillance of the Magnetic Pole True Lord, he could not send messages to Zhang Pianpian.

Suddenly, Zhang Yu had a stroke of inspiration. He touched the rhombic crystal on his forehead and said, "Would you like to cultivate together with me again?"

Zhang Yu remembered that his contract specified that if he dual-cultivated with the yin artifact, the price would be calculated separately per session, with a minimum of 15 spirit coins per session.

If he were left to operate on his own, he felt he could cultivate until the project group went bankrupt.

Unfortunately, this divine-yin artifact never cooperated with him again; each time it only exchanged some mana and then completely stopped.

Zhang Pianpian replied: She said it's not allowed.

Zhang Pianpian: Because it would violate the non-interference agreement.

Listening to Zhang Pianpian's subsequent explanation, Zhang Yu's heart stirred: "Such a thing exists? There is a non-interference agreement between the Seven Emotions Divine Lord and the Qiongjiang Divine Lord?"

"But is it because of the Blue Silk Flying Sword on me? Even taking off the Blue Silk Flying Sword won't help, as this artifact spirit has already recorded it?"

"This artifact spirit is too rigid, isn't it?"

"But it's also because this artifact spirit is essentially offline now, right?"

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "According to normal procedure, after triggering the non-interference agreement, it should be reported to the Qiongjiang Divine Lord, waiting for the Lord's decision."

"But now the artifact spirit cannot report, so it's stuck at this level."

Just as Zhang Yu was leaving the laboratory with the yin artifact spirit,

Fu Xinyao from Huanxi University, due to a report by Yu Xinghan, was directly taken away by the patrol team and sent to the detention room.

She cursed inwardly, "I charged the lowest price, and even so I got reported by those civil engineering students? You students here really don't understand dual cultivation etiquette."

Ping Han helplessly sighed.

The patrol member glanced at Fu Xinyao, snorted, and said, "Qinghe Art Vocational College? Vocational college student?"

This was Fu Xinyao's fake identity for this trip. With the fake identity arranged by the Qiongjiang Divine Lord and the concealment bans placed on the divine-yin artifact, as long as they didn't cause too much trouble, they wouldn't expose themselves.

But upon hearing that the patrol member was going to arrange for them to perform overtime service, Fu Xinyao refused. She had come to Wanfa University for an important matter; how could she be caught and made to work overtime?

However, if she didn't want to perform service, then she would need to pay a fine.

Fu Xinyao herself was unwilling to pay this money, so she began contacting her superiors to request funds for the fine.

But just then, Ping Han suddenly said, "I sense the call of the artifact spirit."

Fu Xinyao's eyes flickered; she knew that the so-called call of the artifact spirit was the yin artifact of the Qiongjiang Divine Lord sending information on a special spirit world frequency band.

This kind of information could generally only be received by artifact spirits that used the same spirit world frequency band and were also yin artifacts of the Qiongjiang Divine Lord.

Fu Xinyao said, "All of you sensed it?"

Except for Ping Han, the other soul cultivators within the artifact spirit all said yes.

Fu Xinyao: "Then report it to the Divine Lord."

Zhang Yu walked along the road, changing directions according to the guidance of the Nectar Maiden while simultaneously using his Eye Relic to browse a textbook titled "Artifact Testing Techniques."

This was a senior-year textbook for the Artifact Refining Department, and Zhang Yu had recently found time to study it.

Moments of fragmented time like the present were excellent opportunities for him to learn.

On one hand, he could use every second to learn and become stronger; on the other hand, it also prevented the ritual from becoming violent because he wasn't studying or cultivating, which would cause unnecessary trouble.

Just as Zhang Yu had swiftly read through nearly half the book, he had already arrived at the fifth underground level of Wanfa University City, walking behind a Yellow Turban Warrior who was transporting goods.
