Chapter 414 Martial Saint Body, Taiyi Golden Liquid

Inside the weapon forging laboratory.

As the last bit of magic power was injected into the Li Huo Furnace, traces of magic power circuits appeared on the surface of the Tianqing Caiyun Dumpling.

Over the past few days, through Zhang Yu's repeated refinement, the material quality of the Azure Cloud-Gathering Pouch has been continuously improved, and the internal magic circuits have become increasingly complex and ingenious.

The quality of this magical artifact has also been upgraded to level 7.

Not only has the distance at which the azure sand can be released increased from the original ten meters to tens of meters, but the speed, scale, and precision of the jet have also greatly increased.

If it could originally only supply 10 types of Musou warriors, it can now stably support more than 20 types of Musou warriors.

Zhang Yu's production skills on the Azure Cloud-Gathering Pouch reached level 10 a few days ago.

Although it was a relatively basic magic weapon with simpler techniques, Zhang Yu still smiled as he looked at the Azure Cloud Gathering Pouch in his hand.

This was the first magical artifact in his life that he had repeatedly refined and gradually upgraded.

"But level 7 is enough. There won't be time to refine this magic weapon again."

Zhang Yu's next target is the Taiyi Golden Elixir, a magic treasure for those in the Foundation Establishment stage.

But this time, facing a Foundation Establishment stage magic weapon, he plans to change the process.

"First, we'll advance the production technique of Taiyi Golden Liquid Pill to level 20 in the simulation laboratory of the spirit world, and then go back to refine this magic weapon in reality. Hopefully, we can refine a level 20 Taiyi Golden Liquid Pill in one go."

……

Inside the simulated laboratory of the spirit world.

"First, refine the purity of the Taiyi Refined Gold..."

"Then use an array to fix the materials..."

"Next comes extraction..."

"Put it into the reaction vessel..."

"Then comes rune etching..."

In the spirit realm, Zhang Yu was seen making hand seals, controlling a magical artifact called the Gold-Eating Insect to engrave runes onto the target material.

He knew that runes were a fixed pattern of spiritual circuits that could realize the operation of magic power and perform various functions in the simplest and most effective way.

After a long while, a dark-colored, grayish-looking iron bead appeared in front of Zhang Yu.

There was nothing supernatural about it, and it would even dissipate immediately after being infused with magic power.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu sighed inwardly, "The first time... it really failed to refine it?"

Although Zhang Yu has already mastered the preliminary techniques for Taiyi Golden Liquid Pill, his experience in weapon forging is still far too limited.

However, after glancing at the Taiyi Golden Elixir technique, which was already at level 1 on the Yu Shu, Zhang Yu smiled slightly and began his next attempt.

For the next few days, Zhang Yu shuttled between the construction site and the spirit world simulation laboratory every day, making money while simultaneously burning through cash.

Despite the income from the construction site, plus the spirit coins sent by Zhang Pianpian and Wen Wuyai, Zhang Yu still watched as the number of spirit coins in his account continued to decrease.

However, as a result, his weapon-forging skills also improved steadily.

……

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

It's mid-April now.

Inside the pharmaceutical factory's office building.

Production Manager Qu Lecheng looked towards the construction site, his gaze sweeping over the site shrouded in thick fog, a hint of envy in his eyes.

"Zhang Yu is living a really good life. He does so much work all by himself, and he must be earning 5 or 6 spirit coins a month, right?"

"And you don't have to worry about this or that, you don't have to worry about college students under your supervision deliberately dying or taking leave, and you don't have to worry about your career advancement channels being affected..."

Qu Lecheng knew that the pharmaceutical factory had many medicines that were sold to higher-ups.

However, selling to higher-end suppliers doesn't necessarily mean higher profits. On the contrary, the profit margin for each product in a pharmaceutical factory is very thin, and profitability mainly depends on volume.

"Alas, if the amount exported upstream is insufficient, pharmaceutical companies will find it difficult to survive, let alone make a profit."

As for raising prices? Qu Lecheng wouldn't even dare to think about it.

"However, if the scale of the university war continues to expand, selling more medicine to the teachers and students on the second floor should allow us to earn more..."

Just then, the swirling mist over the construction site suddenly stopped. Qu Lecheng wondered, "Isn't it time to leave work yet?"

Amidst the clouds and mist, Zhang Yu finally pushed the 10th technique of the Martial Arts Sacred Body to level 20, unlocking the final effect of this chain technique diagram.

Ultimate - Martial Arts Saint Body (10/10): One can master everything. The more martial arts of the same type you practice, the more your ability to counter, parry, borrow force, dodge, destroy, increase range, attack speed, attack frequency, and force penetration effect will be. The maximum improvement will not exceed the Foundation Establishment limit.

"finally……"

Seeing the effects of the final layer of the Martial Saint Body, Zhang Yu smiled and thought to himself, "Excellent! Powerful!"

Just by looking at the description of this last layer, Zhang Yu could see the power of the Martial Saint Body.

As he continued to unleash a series of martial arts techniques, including the Xuanhuang Zhenyue Seal, the Great Wilderness Mountain-Moving Force, the Heaven-Turning Seal, the Demon-Slaying Life-Destroying Technique, and the Starry Sky Meridian-Piercing Technique, he increasingly felt the power of the Martial Saint Body.

"The same type of martial arts currently appears to be categorized into unarmed combat, internal energy, and weapon-based techniques."

"The martial arts techniques I use regularly have all undergone a qualitative leap in performance."

"In addition to the practical combat power of the first level of the Martial Saint Body, the subtle effects of the second level of Martial Arts..."

Zhang Yu believed that with the current effects of the third level of his Martial Saint Body, he could defeat him without the Martial Saint Body within dozens of moves.

Of course, this is on the premise that he did not have the Martial Saint Body, nor did he activate the Earth and Wood Saint Body.

However, combat was secondary. With the enhancement of the final layer of the Martial Saint Body, Zhang Yu believed his construction site income would increase again. But Zhang Yu also understood that his expenses would be even greater afterward.

"Let's leave the cultivation practice here for now."

"The rest of the time, I'll just hang up my Martial Arts Saint Body on the construction site to make money."

"I'll use all the money I earn to refine weapons!"

……

Time flies, and it's already mid-March.

in the dormitory.

Zhang Yu's hand left Xuan Ge's vest, feeling the Dao Seed that he had copied from the other party.

Although he was already very busy with his daily studies, work, and cultivation, Zhang Yu would still occasionally take some time to improve the quality of Le Mulan's magical power.

Finally, on this day, the quality of the other party's magic power was raised to 150%, and the Dao seed was successfully copied into the other party's Dao seed.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "The Blazing Sun lineage?"

Xuan Ge, feeling the surging fire energy within his body, exclaimed with delight, "My magic power... feels like it has undergone a qualitative change?"

Zhang Yu nodded casually, glanced at the Dao Seed on the other party's body, and thought to himself, "Does a level 2 Blazing Sun Meridian require 200% mana quality?"

He knew that the higher the quality of his magic power, the harder it was to improve, and that 200% improvement in magic power quality was impossible in the short term.

After dismissing Xuan Ge, Zhang Yu began to carefully experience the effects of the Blazing Sun Dharma Vein.

"Enhances the efficiency of Qi circulation, improves physical movement efficiency, and also has a destructive heating effect..."

Zhang Yu opened his palm, looking at the invisible flames surging from it, and thought to himself, "I wonder if this will help me with weapon refining."

He looked at his feather book, where the Taiyi Golden Elixir technique had reached level 12.

His savings reached 45 spirit coins.

……

In the outdoor planting building.

After Zhang Yu finished the pharmaceutical factory project, he was sent here to carry out construction.

The so-called plantation building is a rare place where companies grow premium rice and high-quality wheat.

Because most of the land was to be used as medicinal fields to meet the needs of the upper class, the cultivation of fine rice and earth-grilled wheat was confined to the planting building, occupying as little area as possible.

Although the area was small, Zhang Yu found that the planting building was heavily guarded inside and out, and it didn't feel like a place for farming, but rather like a vault of gold.

Che Yufei explained from the side, "The staff who can enter and exit the planting building are either colonels or students from the top ten universities."

"Let alone junior college students, it's rare to even see a college dropout."

Zhang Yu asked curiously, "Why not let college graduates farm?"

Che Yufei looked at Zhang Yu with a strange expression and said, "A college graduate is qualified to farm? A handful of Heavenly Essence Rice could hire countless college graduates. They're so poor, how could they possibly know how to farm properly?"

"Farming is such a high-value job that only a colonel is qualified to do it, and the key technologies must be controlled by students from our top ten universities."

Zhang Yu pursed his lips helplessly: "Fine, where should I fix?"

Although the current project offers more compensation than the pharmaceutical factory, the cost of outdoor traffic is higher, forcing Zhang Yu to suspend his simulated weapon-refining cultivation in the spirit world.

"Let's save up some money here and go back to continue our cultivation."

The Taiyi Golden Elixir Pill on the Feather Book has now reached level 17.

Zhang Yu's savings also decreased to 35 spirit coins.

……

It's April now.

Inside the weapon forging laboratory.

The project to build the plantation building has been completed.

Not long after returning to the university town, I finally mastered the Taiyi Golden Elixir technique to level 20.

At this moment, he was freely wielding his inner energy and skillfully operating the various instruments and equipment in the laboratory, beginning the first real-world refining of the Taiyi Golden Elixir.

As the main material, Taiyi refined gold, is tempered, purified, and shaped...

Afterwards, Zhang Yu added various precious materials to the reaction vessel.

This time, in order to refine the Taiyi Golden Liquid Pill, he spent 18 spirit coins just on the basic materials.

Having practiced the refining process of the Taiyi Golden Elixir Pill countless times, Zhang Yu now recreated it in reality.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "In reality, relying on the Flaming Sun Dharma Lineage does make it easier for me to purify the Taiyi Refined Gold and control the firepower of the Li Huo Furnace."

Finally, as a perfectly round golden bead gradually emerged from the heat of the fire, Zhang Yu unleashed his magical power from his fingertips.

The golden bead flashed with the light of multiple magical circuits, which then faded away.

"Level 20 Taiyi Golden Elixir Pill..."

After testing the effects of the golden bead, Zhang Yu exclaimed excitedly, "It's done!"

As Zhang Yu poured his magic power into it, the Taiyi Golden Liquid Pill seemed to come alive, suddenly expanding and transforming into a swirling, ever-changing golden liquid according to Zhang Yu's will.

Then Zhang Yu swirled his qi, and the golden liquid enveloped it, changing with the qi's movements. Sometimes it transformed into a long sword, sometimes into a giant hand, and sometimes it flowed down like a long river.

Ultimately, under Zhang Yu's manipulation, the Taiyi Golden Liquid Pill enveloped the Wuxiang Warrior, seemingly transforming him into a golden-armored divine general.
