Chapter 532 Hoping for a Successful Mentor and Suppressing Chaos

With the recent economic crisis and the difficult situation in all walks of life, Zhang Yu originally thought that the experiments related to the Divine Body Transformation would also be hindered.

"Counting the days... Master's progress in refining the magic weapon has not been delayed at all, as if it has not been affected by the outside world."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu couldn't help but admire Magnetism True Monarch's focus and the school's emphasis on the Divine Transformation Body project.

"After all, this matter is something that the school's Nascent Soul God Lord values, right?"

"To remain unaffected during the conflict between the Nascent Soul stage and the Divine Transformation stage, the only option is probably a project that represents the interests of the Nascent Soul stage."

A series of ideas flashed through Zhang Yu's mind, and he couldn't wait to study the effects of Tiangong Kaiwu.

Through his active perception, Zhang Yu gradually gained an understanding of the purpose of the "Exploitation of the Works of Nature".

He closed his eyes slightly, and the design blueprints for the Blessing Relic appeared in his mind.

"I want to... reduce the manufacturing cost of the Blessing Relics."

In an instant, sparks of thought seemed to flash through Zhang Yu's mind, and his thoughts began to operate at an unprecedented speed.

Countless pieces of knowledge he had learned, magical artifacts he had seen, and blueprints he had studied appeared before him one by one, flashing by like thousands of lightning bolts.

The next instant, a brand new design blueprint for the Blessing Relic appeared in Zhang Yu's mind.

That was the design result he achieved in an instant, as if by instinct, by connecting, integrating, and applying the countless pieces of knowledge he had accumulated in his mind.

According to the results of this new design, the cost of the old version of the Blessing Relic can be reduced by about 32%.

Although this old version of the Blessing Relic had long been eliminated from the market, the results of this improvement still made Zhang Yu feel the potential of the universe.

"Tiangong Kaiwu" is a skill that can be continuously improved through learning, enhancing one's crafting and design abilities.

"Store all the knowledge you learn, the tools you observe, and the blueprints you study as a foundation."

"When needed, instantly connect all of this and complete the design of an improved blueprint for a certain magical artifact, optimizing its basic attributes such as weight, manufacturing cost, material strength, and mana storage."

"As I acquire more and more knowledge and blueprints, the optimizations I can design become stronger and stronger."

"The effect is even better, especially between magical artifacts of the same type."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "This is a skill that can be continuously strengthened by constantly learning and copying."

At this moment, Zhang Yu seemed to feel an endless thirst for knowledge.

At the same time, he thought: "The more you copy, the stronger you become. So, a teacher with this ability... probably observes many similar magical artifacts beforehand when improving their own magical artifacts."

He then thought of the yang artifact he had recently crafted with his teacher, and thought to himself, "I'm afraid my teacher has recently collected a bunch of yang artifact designs from different brands and schools."

However, the next moment, Zhang Yu felt a wave of dizziness and his mind became somewhat hazy.

Have the side effects started?

Zhang Yu opened the Feather Book and saw that the Dao Heart data on it had changed from level 20 to level 19 (86%).

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Using the 'Craftsmanship of Nature' to instantly and instinctively modify and design a magical artifact will burn away reason, causing mental shock and instability of will."

"The result is a decrease in the level of Dao Heart."

"The higher the design requirements for the transformation, the greater the impact on the Dao heart."

"However, I will recover from this slight drop in my Dao Heart level in a short time, probably within a week."

Although his Dao Heart level could be restored quickly, it also made Zhang Yu realize that the ability of Tiangong Kaiwu (the creation of things in the universe) could not be used recklessly.

At the same time, Zhang Yu began to record the design drawings in his mind.

Although he himself doesn't need the Blessing Relic, this old version is probably not competitive compared to the new versions of Blessing Relics on the market.

It's like no matter how much you optimize the Eye of the Year from 10 years ago, it will never be as good as the new version of the Eye of the Year.

However, since this was a product of his own Dao Heart, Zhang Yu still intended to save it.

But as he was recording the new design drawings, he noticed something unusual.

"Ok?"

"I don't quite understand."

"Logically speaking, I should have already pushed this relic of blessings to level 20, and I should have already mastered the knowledge and technology contained in it, such as the spirit world transmission technology and the body sensing technology."

The images of the Blessing Relic immediately surfaced in Zhang Yu's mind, as if they had been refined and perfected through countless trials, and were now thoroughly integrated into his mind.

But Zhang Yu looked at the new blueprints in front of him again and found that there were some parts that he really couldn't understand.

This lack of understanding wasn't because he didn't know how to refine the relics according to the new design, but because he couldn't understand why it had to be changed this way.

"Why is this happening?"

"It's clearly following my thinking, following the foundation in my mind..." Suddenly, Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback, thinking to himself, "Could it be... no way?"

At this moment, Zhang Yu suddenly thought of the Taiqing Realm that he and his sister shared, and also of the Azure Lotus Sword Embryo that he had copied from Bai Zhenzhen.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Could it be that when I was using the Heavenly Creation Technique to create new design blueprints... I used my master's profound knowledge?"

Zhang Yu looked at the new blueprints in front of him with some shock, and the more he looked, the more convinced he was that his guess was correct.

"I just combined the knowledge of myself and my master... to create this new design!"

Thinking about this, Zhang Yu gradually became excited: "No wonder, I was wondering why the new blueprints could reduce the cost by 32%, even though it was an old version of the Blessing Relic."

"Is this because my design incorporated the teacher's accumulated knowledge?"

"Good, good, Magnet Lord, you truly are my wonderful master!"

At this moment, Zhang Yu's desire to learn from his master was higher than ever before. He deeply hoped that his master could learn well and, ideally, copy all the magical treasures in the world.

“We can’t rely solely on Master to learn; I should also give her a push to help her upgrade her Dao seed.”

"Not only can I use the 'Explosion of Heaven and Earth' technique, but it would be even better if it could help my master work harder to achieve the Nascent Soul stage."

Zhang Yu understood that compared to the day he himself achieved the Nascent Soul stage, it was obviously easier for his master to achieve the Nascent Soul stage and for him to become a Nascent Soul disciple.

So the next day, Zhang Yu came to Magnetism True Monarch's laboratory again, taking the opportunity to observe the conditions for the other party's Dao Seed upgrade.

"If I want to upgrade the level 2 Heavenly Craftsmanship, do I need to refine 10 crafted items of level 30 or higher at the same time?"

Upon seeing this condition, Zhang Yu gasped: "With my current skill level, this is probably not something I can easily accomplish in a short period of time."

Zhang Yu knew that he had only managed to refine a magic body with Magnetism True Monarch under the guise of reference material, thanks to the opportunity of the Nascent Soul Dharma Body.

Now, asking him to find 10 more of the same opportunities is not that easy.
However, Zhang Yu knew that as long as he persisted, this matter would eventually be completed.

He was also looking forward to the effects of the second level of Tiangong Kaiwu.

The Magnetic Pole True Monarch glanced at Zhang Yu, thinking to himself, "Why is this kid looking at me so strangely?"

Magnetism True Lord turned his head and reminded him, "Remember to keep a low profile during this period, spend less money, avoid showing off, and spend more time studying."

Zhang Yu then inquired, "Teacher, will this economic crisis last a long time?"

Magnetism True Lord said, "It won't be long. The higher-ups won't let these old fogies cause trouble."

"Even if a university war were to break out, this kind of chaotic fighting is not the way the higher-ups want it to be."

"It's estimated that it won't be long before, once the interests of those above are affected... someone will have to call a halt."

"In short, you just stay in your own little world for now, wait patiently for the storm to pass, and don't worry about anything else."

……

On his way back to his dormitory, Zhang Yu received another message from Director Gao.

Director Gao: Zhang Yu, I need to ask you for a favor.

Director Gao: The construction site on the 670th floor has been a bit chaotic lately, and we need someone to keep things in order.

With construction sites temporarily halted and various formations requiring urgent maintenance, Wanfa University, in Director Gao's view, is now practically in a state of war.

Under such circumstances, with most ordinary projects suspended, a large number of laborers have no work to do.

However, the top talents in the Civil Engineering department were assigned to various key positions to be responsible for the maintenance of various formations, spiritual veins, and defensive fortifications, making them busier than usual.

As a result, construction sites like the 670th floor suddenly became somewhat chaotic due to the lack of a strong leader in charge.

In particular, many of the people on the construction site are graduates of the Foundation Establishment class who came here to do odd jobs because of recent unemployment. Relying on their seniority and experience, they often overstep the line, resulting in an increase in the rates of material loss, damage to surveillance equipment, and disappearance of demonic workers.

When Zhang Yu arrived at the construction site, he saw many people influencing each other, hindering each other's work, and even vying for work.

Looking at the 670-story construction site, Zhang Yu felt a surge of curiosity: "The construction of the new building in the University City hasn't stopped. Is it because this is also a project that the Nascent Soul cultivators are concerned about?"

Zhang Yu didn't say much after that. He simply activated the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power, and the violent Earthly Fiend Gravity swept across the entire area, lifting up cement and rolling up steel. In an instant, a large amount of construction work was completed.

As Zhang Yu silently completed his work with overwhelming strength, the workers on the construction site were gradually intimidated by his divine power and became obedient. The scene gradually returned to order under Zhang Yu's control.

During this process, Zhang Yu saw Yingxin and Shi Yunxiang outside the construction site.

Since the two of them couldn't compete with the graduates at the construction site, they quietly squatted outside the site, watching the busy workers with a hint of envy in their eyes.

Lion Cloud's cheeks were somewhat sunken, his fur was much drier and had more white hair, and his face showed a hint of wariness towards his surroundings, as well as occasional flashes of panic. Clearly, things had not been going well for him lately.

Ying Xin, standing to the side, had obvious wear and tear on her magical body, especially her right arm, which hung limply, clearly indicating some kind of malfunction. She looked like a lame stray dog.
