instead, he formulated a work plan in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood that relying solely on his existing basic abilities might not guarantee a top-ten spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But fortunately, I have exceptional talent, with the help of Tiangong Kaiwu and Lingyun Qixin, which are perfectly suited for this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he thought, Zhang Yu flipped through the reference materials provided by the organizers, finding not only information on various refining techniques but also blueprints for different artifacts that could be used as references.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From the reference materials the organizers provide, they also encourage contestants to learn while competing, not expecting us to rely solely on what we’ve accumulated in our heads from start to finish.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An idea gradually formed in Zhang Yu’s mind: “First, filter the blueprints to find those that meet the test requirements, then use Lingyun Qixin to fuse the blueprints and obtain a design most likely to achieve good results in the test.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then use Tiangong Kaiwu to optimize and improve any flaws in the design.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this far, Zhang Yu nodded slightly: “So now, the most important thing is the selection of blueprints.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu understood that Lingyun Qixin also had a usage limit within a certain period of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, each use of this talent consumed the inspiration in his brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on his own attempts, he could only use it at most a dozen or so times within a given period; the more he used it, the more his thinking would become rigid, making it difficult to activate Lingyun Qixin again, often requiring weeks of rest to fully recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ever since I finished designing the Wind God Semi-Skeletal Work Power Boots last time, I haven’t used Lingyun Qixin since.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Using it ten times now shouldn’t be a problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu realized that since Lingyun Qixin had a limited number of uses, the selection of blueprints to merge required careful consideration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Similar types of blueprints are more likely to yield good results.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But if they’re too similar, what’s the point of merging them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu understood that he needed to judge the balance himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, six hours passed, and Zhang Yu finally finished the design at the very last moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rubbed his slightly swollen and dizzy head, yet a faint smile of satisfaction gradually appeared at the corners of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside a meeting room in the Spirit Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>",896,"2026-05-29T04:54:59.518Z","2026-06-01T04:29:12.818Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","24c54f9f37c538920c527050bb708d377dca0af6839e564eb6841504ba024d7d","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-562","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-560",711,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fno-money-what-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
