Even though the students in the Songyang Hometown Group were very enthusiastic, their average spending power was still a bit low.

Seeing the lukewarm response in the group, Zhang Yu posted again: “The company might expand soon and needs to recruit a lot of Soul Cultivators. Those who are interested can contact me.”

This instantly caused a stir in the group, and many people began sending their resumes to Zhang Yu.

After all, there were already many Soul Cultivation students in the Songyang Hometown Group, and after the economic crisis a while ago, the number of Soul Cultivation students expanded again.

Now, seeing job opportunities with Zhang Yu, waves of people immediately started competing.

After exiting the hometown group, Zhang Yu felt he should find some wealthy people to promote his artifact refining business.

So, after posting a screenshot of his Military Certificate on his Moments, Zhang Yu first contacted CEO Wang.

Zhang Yu: “CEO Wang, have you seen my Moments?”
Zhang Yu: “I’ve obtained the Military Certificate for the Artifact Refining Department. You can find me for artifact refining services.”

Wang Yin: “I am currently on Kunxu Level 3. Message forwarding takes time, so I cannot reply to your messages promptly for now.”

Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback by this and thought to himself, “Kunxu Level 3? Has CEO Wang already gone on to graduate studies?”

Soon after, on Kunxu Level 3, within the Youming University Graduate School campus.

Wang Yin’s gaze sharpened as he saw the messages collected and forwarded from Lingjie Level 2.

He opened the company’s dedicated cross-level communication channel, temporarily connecting to Lingjie of Kunxu Level 2, then opened Zhang Yu’s Moments. Seeing the Military Certificate for the Artifact Refining Department, his body trembled.

Then he saw that the other party was selling a used Eye Relic.

“My Time-Shattered Demon Eye? Damn it… This kid is only selling it now after using it all this time?”

Wang Yin’s expression became complicated as he watched this scene.

“Very good, Zhang Yu. Seeing your cultivation and progress has motivated me again.”

His Dao heart immediately surged fiercely at this moment, feeling层层 motivated, and finally made a firm decision: “Within the next year, I will pass the Golden Core Certificate exam!”

“After this year’s Top Ten League, the conflicts between universities will inevitably intensify. I’m afraid that except for the top ten universities, all schools will erupt into a tremendous war. That will be my time to shine.”

Then he sent a message to Zhang Yu: “Zhang Yu, you are in Wanfa, I am in Youming.”
Wang Yin: “In the future, you and I are bound to have another battle.”

On the other side, Zhang Yu had already sent a message to Wen Wuya.

Wen Wuya: “Can you refine Yin artifacts?”

Wen Wuya wondered if Zhang Yu had learned the subtleties of the Spirit Transformation Dharma Relic since he participated in True Lord Ciji’s experiment.

Zhang Yu, watching this scene, fell into deep thought.

“Is the demand for Yin artifacts so high? I also have the reputation of participating in the Spirit Transformation Dharma Relic experiment…”
“Should I learn this in the future?”

In addition to Wang Yin and Wen Wuya, these two wealthy individuals, Zhang Yu also sent messages to the various university prodigies he met during the Civil Engineering Competition.

Jin’gang University Chanrong: “Thank you for your concern. I still find my own body, tempered through a thousand hardships, to be more useful.”
Chanrong: “CEO Zhang, if you need materials for artifact refining, you can buy them from me. I’ll give you a 20% discount.”

In the eyes of this Jin’gang University student, Zhang Yu had clearly become a wealthy and powerful figure.

Xianbing University Wangouxuan: “I only use Jihu.”
Wangouxuan: “Is CEO Zhang willing to act as an agent for Jihu in Wanfa?”

Tianjian University Yueguanqiong: “You are already a top person in the Artifact Refining Department, so you must not be short on money, right? Can you repair the flying sword you damaged last time?”

Zhang Yu quickly blacklisted Yueguanqiong.

Just then, Zhang Pianpian sent a message, discussing Zhang Yu’s acquisition of the Military Certificate again.

Zhang Yu’s heart stirred, and he asked the question he had wanted to ask since he saw her in the Top 50 group.

Zhang Yu: “Senior Sister, will you participate in the next Top Ten League?”
Zhang Pianpian: “No.”
Zhang Pianpian: “I’m probably going to be recommended for graduate studies next.”

Zhang Yu was shocked: “Skipping grades?”
Zhang Pianpian: “Yes, I should go to Level 3 for a while then.”
Zhang Pianpian: “After completing the basic studies, I can travel between Level 3 and Level 2 through project connections.”

Zhang Pianpian thought to herself, “The next Top Ten League is too dangerous. If I, with my identity, get involved, the consequences will be even more unpredictable.”

In Zhang Pianpian’s opinion, participating in the next Top Ten League… the danger and rewards were completely disproportionate.

Especially with the complex situation involved, it not only concerned the top ten universities and Spirit Transformation Divine Lords, but even had the shadows of sects, evil gods, and demonic cults behind it.

“It’s too chaotic, too unpredictable, and too uncontrollable.”

Zhang Pianpian had wanted to remind Zhang Yu, but thinking that although her junior brother was exceptionally talented, reaching the competition level within half a year would likely be beyond his capabilities, she did not offer further reminders.

At the same time, Zhang Yu also received a communication request from Bai Zhenzhen.

The two met in the Lingjie space, and Bai Zhenzhen excitedly hugged Zhang Yu, celebrating the good news of him obtaining his second Military Certificate.

After parting, watching Zhang Yu’s dissipating figure, Bai Zhenzhen proudly said, “How about it? Zhang Yu is very formidable, isn’t he? His progress is getting faster and faster.”

Qi Qing Shenjun said indifferently, “It is quite fast.”
“But there are still six months left. Even if he is taken by Qiongzhi Shenjun and forced to diligently refine every day, he won’t be able to catch up with you.”
“Not to mention achieving results in the Top Ten League.”
“Whether he can even participate in the Top Ten League is questionable.”

After ending the call with Bai Zhenzhen, Zhang Yu remembered that he hadn’t messaged his master yet.

Although True Lord Ciji and Director Gao should already know about him getting the Military Certificate, he still sent separate messages to report.

True Lord Ciji: “Good, keep up the good work.”
True Lord Ciji: “[1 Ling Coin]”

Seeing the 1 Ling Coin, Zhang Yu’s heart filled with joy. He knew that for his master to actively reward Ling Coins meant that although his master appeared calm, he was clearly very pleased with Zhang Yu’s achievement this time.

Director Gao: “Good.”
Director Gao: “Come to the construction site more often when you’re free.”
Director Gao: “There are many projects here now, and I’ve kept an eye out for several good ones for you.”

Zhang Yu: “Okay, Teacher, I’ll come over after I’m done with what I’m currently working on.”

After ending calls from various places, Zhang Yu sent a message to Zi Yunzhen.

Zhang Yu: “Xiao Zi, still playing at the construction site? Come back to work.”

In the following time, Zhang Yu fully dedicated himself to refining the Tianri Huangshen.

He wanted to quickly advance the Tianri Huangshen to Level 20 and unlock its military-grade performance to quickly monetize his Military Certificate.

While Zhang Yu was diligently refining the Tianri Huangshen, the Jiuyou Yaotong crafted by Ye Xingli was delivered three days later.

After removing the Time-Shattered Demon Eye and installing the Jiuyou Yaotong for Zhang Yu, Ye Xingli asked, “How is it?”

Zhang Yu blinked, and instantly felt that the world in front of him was much clearer. At the same time, with a contraction and expansion of his pupils, he could see the incredibly delicate texture on Ye Xingli’s skin.

“No… not texture, but micro-engraved magic power circuits.”
“The vision of this Jiuyou Yaotong is stronger than the Time-Shattered Demon Eye.”
“Technological progress is really fast.”

Then Zhang Yu activated an important function of the Jiuyou Yaotong: the soul body sensing module.

The next moment, Zhang Yu felt his vision blur for a moment, and then heavy, ethereal shadows appeared on Ye Xingli’s body in front of him.

These were masses that changed back and forth like mist, exuding a chilling coldness, and displaying various distorted expressions.

“Is this what I can see as Soul Cultivators with the Jiuyou Yaotong under soul body sensing?”
“These Soul Cultivators should be assisting Senior Sister with her Dharma Relic operations.”

Zhang Yu remembered that Mo Shangjin’s previous Seven Wonders Dharma Relic contained many Soul Cultivators used to assist the Dharma Relic in activating various functions, allowing the cultivator to perform multiple Dharma Relic operations simultaneously.

Looking at the several distorted Yin souls entrenched all over Ye Xingli’s body, Zhang Yu found that if his gaze landed on any one of the Soul Cultivators, he could activate the Jiuyou Yaotong’s Wangchuan Water system at any time and any place, trying to freeze their thoughts.

“However, Senior Sister’s Dharma Relic should have strong Lingjie protection, and my Jiuyou Yaotong probably can’t break through it.”

Zhang Yu understood that compared to the Soul Cultivators in others’ Dharma Relics, the Jiuyou Yaotong was more often used to protect his own magic treasures and Dharma Relics, freezing Soul Cultivators attacking from the Lingjie.

Immediately after Zhang Yu’s gaze lingered, the companies to which these Soul Cultivators belonged also appeared, making him nod slightly.

Zhang Yu knew that by activating the Jiuyou Yaotong’s ‘Transcendence’ function and filing complaints and reports with the respective companies, he could make the companies recall the Soul Cultivators to the Lingjie.

Of course, the premise was that his complaints and reports had to be substantial.

“The more you understand about these Soul Cultivators, the more evidence you have, and ideally, if you have evidence that they truly violated regulations, the more effective the transcendence will be.”

Ye Xingli asked, “How is it? Want to take a walk on the street and test its compatibility?”

Zhang Yu nodded slightly: “Okay.”
“Xiao Zi, continue washing the materials. I’ll be back.”

Turning back to instruct Zi Yunzhen, Zhang Yu, accompanied by Ye Xingli, walked onto the streets of the university town.

At this moment, the streets appeared different again in Zhang Yu’s eyes.

He saw that every teacher and student, more or less, had Soul Cultivators entwined around them.

At the same time, in the atmosphere, Soul Cultivators could be seen flashing by from time to time, shooting into the distance like lightning.

There were also Soul Cultivators flashing back and forth within the Yuan Magnetic channels, assisting with channel sensing.

There were Soul Cultivators behind advertisements, responsible for intelligent targeting.

There were Soul Cultivators walking back and forth at shop entrances, sending flyer information to the Eye Relics of passersby.

“This university town is truly…”

Looking from top to bottom, from inside to out, with countless Soul Cultivators working everywhere, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

He felt that whenever he thought he understood the university town, with his progress and changes, another veil on the surface of the university town would be lifted, revealing a more realistic side of the entire city.

“Even now, I don’t know how much of the university town’s true face I’ve seen.”

Ye Xingli on the side said, “How is it? Even with a large number of Soul Cultivators on the same screen, there’s no lag, right?”
“Other universities are one thing, but our Wanfa has a high density, with a particularly large number of Soul Cultivators on the same screen. I’ve specifically optimized the performance in this regard, and many big brand Eye Relics can’t compare.”

Zhang Yu nodded in satisfaction: “No problem.”

Saying that, he had already turned off the soul body sensing function. After all, keeping this function on constantly consumed magic power, and the more Soul Cultivators sensed, the more magic power was consumed.

Back in the laboratory, Zhang Yu once again immersed himself in the refining of the Tianri Huangshen.

A week later, as time approached mid-February, Zhang Yu finally upgraded the Tianri Huangshen to Level 20 and unlocked all its military-grade performance.
