Zhang Yu felt the Martial Dao Intent, so real it seemed, crashing down upon him, threatening to burn his flesh, internal organs, bones, soul, consciousness... everything about him to ashes.

The moment they made contact, Zhang Yu felt as if he were on the verge of death; the difference in strength between them was simply too great.

At the same time, Spark True Person's voice exploded in his ears.

"Use your inner strength and your will to resist my Martial Dao Intent."

Zhang Yu fully activated the Remnant Ox Abandoning Self Heart Sutra," and with a roar from the White Ox in his mind, waves of fighting spirit surged from his heart!

Scenes of past battles, desperate resistance, and fierce fights with Wang Yin kept flashing through Zhang Yu's mind!

On the other side, watching the two who were gritting their teeth and persevering under his Martial Dao Intent, Spark True Person nodded slightly and temporarily withdrew his Martial Dao Intent!

"Take a 30-second break, then continue!"

Thirty seconds later, the violent intent was released from Spark True Person's body once again!

This time, Zhang Yu no longer felt a raging fire, but an incomparably domineering pressure, as if the air had become a thousand times, ten thousand times heavier in an instant, as if it were going to crush his bones and force him to his knees.

Spark True Person coldly said, "Hold on, don't kneel!"

This is different from the kind and gentle demeanor of the elder before!

After instructing Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen on their training, Spark True Person exuded an aura of authority, much like a general on the battlefield. Every command and every suggestion he gave was irresistible!

In the following time, Spark True Person repeatedly attacked the two people with his Martial Dao Intent, forcing Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen to use their mental techniques to resist with all their might!

And each time, the Martial Dao Intent released by Mars True Person is different!

A variety of Martial Dao Intent rushed towards him, making Zhang Yu wonder, "Just how many different mental techniques does this old man know?"

"How can he switch between different mental cultivation techniques so naturally? Won't he develop a split personality?"

During this process of cultivating his Dao Heart and mental techniques, Zhang Yu felt as if he were a long sword, and Spark True Person's Martial Dao Intent was like a whetstone. The long sword became sharper and more refined through repeated tempering!

Zhang Yu could clearly feel that this kind of training... was indeed several times more effective than simply practicing the mental cultivation method alone!

Dao Heart Level 11 (0.3%) - (0.5%)

The Remnant Ox Abandoning Self Heart Sutra, Level 11 (3/110) -> (35/110)

Seeing the two pale-faced men who were already swaying precariously, Spark True Person stopped releasing his Martial Dao Intent!

He said calmly, "Alright, you've all reached your limit for today. If you keep going, you'll just exhaust yourself!"

"But the mental technique must be continuously activated, and you must especially remember that feeling of resisting pressure just now!"

"Maintain this feeling; this tension will make you more efficient at improving your Dao Heart in your daily lives!"

As Spark True Person left, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen suddenly collapsed to the ground, feeling utterly exhausted despite not having done much physical activity!

In the days that followed, Spark True Person would occasionally summon Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen for a "training" session!

The method he used to instruct Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen was exactly as he described—very primitive, yet very effective!

If Zhang Yu were to describe it... it would be an extremely cost-effective exercise method for poor people!

However, this cost-effectiveness is based on Spark True Person!

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "If Spark True Person charges a fee, I don't know how much it would cost. Anyway, A-Zhen and I definitely can't afford it!"

Zhang Yu was deeply grateful for the kindness of this Golden Core True Person who was willing to take the time to guide them for free.

He thought to himself, "Thank you so much, Lao Deng. Once I climb up there, I'll make sure your name resounds Kunxu!"

Under the guidance of Spark True Person, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen's Dao Heart and Physical Strength steadily improved every day, far exceeding the efficiency of cultivating alone!

As for magical powers, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen had other plans!

That day, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen arrived at the Protected Area. They passed through the gate by simply scanning their faces!

They arrived at the foot of a mountain, seemingly familiar with the place, as if they had been there many times before!

The mountain peak in front of them is one of the important Spirit Vein nodes in the Protected Area, a place that was once unattainable for Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, a place they dared not even dream of!

But now, they can not only breathe freely in the Protected Area, but they can even go into the mountains to cultivate!

However, before each trip into the mountains, Zhang Yu had some tasks to complete, including delivering goods according to the requirements of Red Pagoda Dragon CEO!

Watching Zhang Yu walk into the restroom, Bai Zhenzhen waited outside and began Breath Circulation!

But after waiting for a long time, Bai Zhenzhen finally couldn't help but urge, "Is it done?"

She said somewhat disgruntledly, "Why are you taking longer and longer each time? I've been waiting for almost half an hour!"

Zhang Yu's slightly embarrassed and annoyed voice came from inside. "It'll be ready soon... Why are you rushing me?"

"Think about whose sacrifices, time and again, enabled you to enter the Spirit Vein for cultivation?"

Bai Zhenzhen rolled her eyes and suggested, "Could you bring it over next time after you're done with things at home?"

Zhang Yu said, "Do you think I don't want to? Red Pagoda Company requires it to be fresh."

After waiting for another ten minutes or so, Bai Zhenzhen thought to himself, "That Yu Zi guy is really... He's reached the Foundation Establishment but hasn't cut off his roots yet!"

"After Foundation Establishment, the Physical Strength is further enhanced in all aspects. Wouldn't the evil root also grow bigger and stronger with further nourishment?"

As he continues to Body Tempering and nurture this thing, who knows how much nutrition, Qi and Blood, and Spiritual Energy he will consume on it!

"And who knows how much time and energy will be wasted on it... It's practically a malignant tumor on the path to Immortal Dao!"

"But then again, this item does have its merits; at least it allows us to cut in line and cultivate within the Spirit Vein!"

"Once we get up there, we'll be broke again, but maybe that can serve as our Emergency Fund in a pinch!"

After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhenzhen came up with a compromise. "How about we make Yu Zi's device detachable? Just like his eyes!"

"Put it on when needed, and lock it up the rest of the time? That way, we won't have to worry about the tumor consuming too much nutrition and Qi and Blood, thus hindering Yu Zi's Body Tempering progress!"

"We've been parents and children together. If he can't make up his mind, should I just lend him a hand?"

Bai Zhenzhen believed that Zhang Yu would understand her!

"After all, I've noticed a hint of helplessness and regret on Yu Zi's face every time he's done. He definitely wants to resolve this problem, but he just hasn't been able to make the tough decision!"

Just as Bai Zhenzhen was secretly planning how to help his brother, Zhang Yu slowly walked out of the toilet!

"All done, let's go!"

With a wave of his hand and a hint of arrogance, Zhang Yu led Bai Zhenzhen through the entrance to the Spirit Vein!

A surge of Spiritual Energy rushed towards them, causing their Spirit Root to tremble and bringing them an incomparably comfortable feeling throughout their bodies!

Zhang Yu felt that only when he entered the Spirit Vein Breath Circulation could his Qi Sea Spiritual Root and the Azure Vortex Qi Skill truly be displayed and gain something, no longer feeling as stifled as during the day!

Yes, it's stifling!

Since entering the Foundation Establishment, Zhang Yu has felt a sense of suffocation every day, as if the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth is so thin and the air so stale!

"Spirit Vein are still the best!"

However, upon reflection, Zhang Yu realized he had wasted some time trying to get in, and thought to himself, "I really did waste some time!"

"But you can't blame me, I've already tried my best!"

Zhang Yu glanced at Bai Zhenzhen beside him, then suddenly blushed and turned his head away!

Bai Zhenzhen, who was taking a deep breath, raised an eyebrow and, sensing Zhang Yu's gaze, asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Yu stammered, "Actually... well... I've thought of a way to speed things up!"

Bai Zhenzhen asked curiously, "What method?"

"Um..." Zhang Yu blushed and turned his head away, finally taking a deep breath and saying, "No... nothing!"

As Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen walked deeper into the Spirit Vein, Fu Ji felt a bitter taste in her mouth. "You two, why didn't you ask how I felt? Did you think it would be alright just because I'm with Zhang Yu?"

"Damn it, I should be paid to watch it!"

"Damn it, if I ask to go with Bai Zhenzhen, it will definitely arouse Zhang Yu's suspicion, and he'll think I'm up to no good!"

"Oh well, let's just treat it like watching an animal documentary!"

After arriving at the depths of the Spirit Vein, Zhang Yu began to circulate the newly cultivated Azure Vortex Qi Skill!

This Foundation Establishment Realm Breathing Technique can create vortexes with magical power. With continuous Breath Circulation, it can continuously increase the range of Spiritual Energy can absorb until it reaches its limit!

At this moment, combined with the Qi Sea Spiritual Root, Zhang Yu's Spiritual Energy absorption range was directly increased to a distance of 100 meters around him!

At this moment, Zhang Yu was like a huge loophole, frantically attracting the Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Vein to keep flowing in!

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Although this Azure Vortex Qi Skill cannot circulate like the Great Sun Qi Sea at all times, a few hours of cultivation at the Spirit Vein using this method is equivalent to several days of hard work at the Great Sun Qi Sea, making it much more efficient!"

"Especially since I haven't yet pushed this Azure Vortex Qi Skill to its highest level, its efficiency in refining mana will definitely be even greater in the future!"

Mana 200.5

Azure Vortex Qi Skill Level 10 (1/100)

"Finally Level 10!"

As Zhang Yu sensed the Azure Vortex Qi Skill, which had reached Level 10, he could feel vortexes of energy swirling around him, frantically devouring the Spiritual Energy in the surrounding area!

After Level 10, the mana vortex manifests, further increasing the scope of Spiritual Energy absorption!

"With the help of my Qi Sea Spiritual Root, the range of my Spirit Root absorption has now increased to 150 meters!"

And shortly after Bai Zhenzhen and Zhang Yu entered the entrance to the Spirit Vein!

With the whistling of flying swords and the surge of Battle Spirit Root, a fully armed Security Department had already boarded Flying Boat and surrounded the toilet that Zhang Yu had just used!

Several staff members in protective suits went into the restroom, and a moment later came out carrying a huge armored box. Under the solemn gaze of the surrounding security guards, they carried the armored box onto the Flying Boat!

Just as Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen were immersed in the Foundation Establishment Realm, wholeheartedly devoting themselves to consolidating their foundation, enhancing their Dao Heart, magical power, and Physical Strength!

Meanwhile, some turbulence has occurred in the handling of the Oasis Group!

On this day, Zhang Yu Bai Zhenzhen had just finished receiving guidance from Spark True Person when they received a call from Chang Yun Ni of the Patrol Team!

Yun Ni said, "During your battle with the Red River's group, wasn't there a mysterious expert who suddenly ambushed Bai Zhenzhen?"

"The investigation has now confirmed with 100% certainty that the expert you killed during the enforcement operation was Zhou Yang from the Zhou Family..."

Upon hearing this news, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen's expressions changed slightly, as they both knew that the Zhou Family was suspected of having Evil God behind them!

Yun Ni continued, "The Patrol Team is going to thoroughly investigate the Zhou Family. Since you two are involved, I'm here to ask for your opinions..."

Zhang Yu said directly, "Are we going to thoroughly investigate the Zhou Family? Can A-Zhen and I go together?"
