Now that you're in the Refinement Department and building your own reputation, you don't need me to cover for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu: Senior Sister, you've always helped me get orders. I'm new to the Refinement Department and don't know anyone yet.

She probably possesses a Dao Seed as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from his teacher, the Magnetic Pole Sovereign, Zhang Yu also planned to get in touch more with Senior Sister Ye Xingli, hoping to copy a Dao Seed from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few days later, Zi Yunzhen received the magic artifact sent back by Zhang Yu. After testing it, she thought to herself, \"Sure enough, it's the 20th-rank Dragon Vein Artifact Casting Secret.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanting to show off a bit, she quickly sent the magic artifact's info into the small group chat.

That civil engineering major refines it for you? You're joking, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zi Yunzhen glanced at her chat history with Zhang Yu and the screenshots about the Taiyi Golden Liquid Pill. Though she wanted to post them to show off how well-informed she was, after some thought, without Zhang Yu's consent, she decided against it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Zi Yunzhen replied: I had a talk with Zhang Yu. His artifact-refining skill is not low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zi Yunzhen: Taiyi Golden Liquid Pill at rank 20, Dragon Vein Artifact Casting Secret at rank 20.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rongxuan: How is that possible? How does he have time to learn artifact refining while working on a construction site?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zi Yunzhen: If he weren't skilled, why would the Pole Magnet True Lord have dragged him into the Artifact Refining Department?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone replied: Maybe it's an experimental result of the Nascent Soul Dharma-Skeleton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another person replied: Yunni, he might snatch your first place now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yunni, the class's top student, stared at the messages in the small group chat, her gaze sharpening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the consecutive class number one from freshman to junior year, Su Yunni had long set her sights on department rankings and paid little attention to class rankings, because she had absolute confidence in being first in the class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she never expected that a transfer student from the Civil Engineering Department would immediately rank second in the class upon transferring, and now seemed capable of threatening her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yunni could hardly imagine being surpassed by this civil engineering student and losing the class's first place. How would the other artifact refining students mock her? Her personal brand value would plummet, and her company's income would suffer accordingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, a strong fighting spirit surged within Su Yunni.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I absolutely cannot let this civil engineering student surpass me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For this semester's final exams, I must be flawless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that in mind, Su Yunni immediately adjusted her original cultivation plan, slightly reducing the portion of advanced study and increasing the portion dedicated to reviewing and consolidating third-year coursework.\u003C\u002Fp>",1140,"2026-05-29T04:54:59.518Z","2026-06-01T04:29:12.818Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","b947b94b9b1d8ac7430552fecdcff46a575dfa4e39c60de45053db40cecf236a","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-507","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-505",711,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fno-money-what-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
