Inside the 200th Layer teaching area.

Sitting in the audience, listening to Feng Jiu's lecture, Zhang Yu noticed that this teacher always gave him the feeling that he needed to finish his task quickly.

The lecture was delivered as if reading from a script, with absolutely no interaction between the speaker and the students.

Feng Jiu said, "... The Dao Heart is the foundation of the Immortal Dao; the higher the realm, the more important the Dao Heart becomes."

"If Dao Heart High Cultivator, at best they will lose control of their power, at worst they will suffer from qi deviation, or even their Dharma Skeleton will backfire..."

As she spoke, scenes of cultivators going mad with their cultivation flashed before her eyes.

Images of beings going on killing sprees due to mental derangement, beings whose Spirit Root explode and turn into plants, beings whose Dharma Skeleton attack themselves, beings whose magical power explodes... and so on kept appearing on the screen!

After emphasizing the consequences of insufficient Dao Heart, Feng continued, "After Foundation Establishment, the upper limit of Dao Heart increases to Level 20. During this period, as Dao Heart grows, it becomes even more useful!"

"For example, after reaching level 15 Dao Heart, one can choose a Second Cultivation Method and try to practice both cultivation methods simultaneously. After that, one can operate two cultivation methods at the same time!"

"However, the greater the conflict between the two cultivation methods, the worse the effect of running them in parallel, and it may even lead to qi deviation and soul splitting!"

Zhang Yu knew that "going into demonic possession" was a general term that encompassed everything from uncontrolled magical power exploding, soul splitting and turning into a madman, backlash from the Dharma Skeleton, etc.!

But listening to what Feng Jiu had heard today, he suddenly realized that after entering the Foundation Establishment Realm, the types of qi deviation had increased, and the risks seemed to be higher!

Feng Jiu continued, "Because the consequences of conflicting cultivation methods are severe, you should prepare and make choices early before your Dao Heart reaches level 15. It would be best to choose cultivation methods that complement each other!"

As they spoke, a flash of light appeared around them, and a website address appeared!

Feng Jiu explained, "Everyone, write down this website address. This is the Spirit Realm address of Hammer Heart Residence. It can help you conduct tests in the Spirit Realm. For just 1 Spirit Coin, we can help you find the most suitable cultivation method for you. For another Spirit Coin, you can find the most suitable Second Cultivation Method!"

"Furthermore, after reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, the circulation of the cultivation technique also reaches a higher level!"

"Operating 24 hours a day is just the foundation; the true meaning of constant operation lies in achieving Spirit-Flesh Unity Realm!"

Even when unconscious, a sliver of light remains in the sea of consciousness, ensuring the continued operation of the mental cultivation technique!

"To achieve this, besides continuous hard work and gradual refinement, there are other ways!"

"For example, the Spirit-Flesh Unity Journey' currently offered by Hammer Heart Residence costs 30 Spirit Coin, and you can get a refund if it doesn't work out..."

Feng Jiu proceeded step by step without asking questions or engaging in conversation. She spoke at the same pace until the very last second after class ended, when the entire Phoenix projection disappeared from everyone's sight!

Deep within the Spirit Realm, a young girl looked at the returning Phoenix and said, "Not bad, no one recognized you as a spirit, right? From now on, you can take my place in class, so as not to interfere with my work!"

In Magical Power Class!

When Teacher Li Mingbo entered the classroom, he glanced at everyone and said with a smile, "Classmates, this is our first meeting. Before we begin the lesson, let's get to know each other!"

"I prefer face-to-face communication to cold, hard data!"

"My name is Li Mingbo, and I'll probably be teaching you Magical Power Class for the next year or two!"

Looking at the teacher in front of him with a gentle smile and approachable tone, Zhang Yu was slightly surprised. "Are there really such kind teachers in the University City? They even want to know about us?"

Zhang Yu felt that Li Mingbo in front of him was worlds apart from Feng Jiu just now.

Li Mingbo looked at Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan sitting in the first row and asked with a smile, "What are your names, students? Where are you from?"

"My name is Zhang Yu, from Songyang City, on the first floor!"

"His name is Yu Xinghan, and he's also from the first level..."

Li Mingbo said calmly, "You two... sit back!"

"Further on!"

"Sit down one row further back!"

"Alright, sit there!"

He turned to look at Gongshu Jin on the other side. "And you, classmate?"

"Gongshu Jin, you stay in the first row!"

"Ying Xin, you can move forward two rows!"

"Ji Yuan Shu, please sit in the front row..."

"From now on, please sit in these seats during my classes!"

With Li Mingbo's adjustment, the seating in the classroom immediately became orderly, with those on higher floors sitting in the front and those on lower floors sitting in the back. Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan then sat in the last row!

Damn it... Zhang Yu thought to himself, how did he come to have such delusional thoughts about the Kunxu Person?

In class, Li Mingbo spoke eloquently, "After Foundation Establishment, the upper limit of magical power increases dramatically. With a higher Dao Heart, a stronger physical body, and more Cultivation Method, there will be differences in quality between different types of magical power!"

"The higher the Magical Power Quality, the greater its power and the better its effect..."

Zhang Yu nodded repeatedly. When he was in the Qi Refining Period, he could feel that his magic power was of a higher quality than that of many people, but the difference was very subtle!

Once you reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, the difference in the Magical Power Quality widens even further, sometimes to the point of being worlds apart!

The parameters that distinguish the Magical Power Quality range from 100% (the lowest quality) to 200% (the highest quality) during the Foundation Establishment Realm, representing the quality of magic power!

Due to the difference in quality, one 200% quality mana can be equivalent to two 100% quality mana!

A ripple seemed to pass between Li Mingbo's brows, and a round mirror appeared. "Next, everyone, let's test the Magical Power Quality!"

Then everyone unleashed a palm strike at the round mirror!

Ji Xiang Shu's Magical Power Quality is 133%, Gongshu Jin's Magical Power Quality is 125%.

Ying Xin Magical Power Quality 111%

After everyone had tried, it was finally Zhang Yu's turn! Zhang Yu gently pressed his palm against the round mirror, and with the flow of magical power, the number that appeared on it was 112%.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "I've hardly ever specifically trained this so-called Magical Power Quality!"

"Is it because after I pushed the Azure Vortex Qi Skill to Level 20, my mana was naturally refined during the cultivation of the Level 20 Breath Circulation Cultivation Method, pushing its quality to 112%?"

After everyone finished the test, Li Mingbo said calmly, "To improve the Magical Power Quality, besides diligent cultivation every second, Breath Circulation, and tempering, you also need to rely on external things, such as taking medicine, cultivating a Dharma Skeleton, high-quality Spirit Vein, and so on!"

Li Mingbo looked at the students in the front row and smiled slightly, saying, "But if you ask me, the most useful method is to directly purchase high-quality mana from the Spirit Realm Network for cultivation. Being constantly immersed in high-quality mana can more efficiently increase one's mana ceiling and Magical Power Quality..."

"Here I'd like to recommend a platform called Magical Power Treasure!"

"I negotiated a discount with Magical Power Treasure. They say if I enter my name in their chat, I can buy high-quality magic items at a 2% discount..."

After speaking with the students in the front row, Li Mingbo looked at the students in the back row, especially Zhang Yu, Yu Xinghan, Li Xiao and others!

"Don't worry if you can't afford high-quality mana during your daily cultivation. You can sell your unused mana on the Magical Power Treasure to mine coins. Just entrust your mana to the platform and you can earn an income every day without doing anything..."

Zhang Yu nodded inwardly upon hearing this and immediately logged into his Magical Power Treasure, wanting to see how much money he could make each day from his Movement Method power, besides its use for his Dharma Skeleton and cultivation!

Looking at Zhang Yu and the others in front of him, Li Ming knew that these poor students from the first level had no chance to buy high-quality magic power except by selling their magic power!

As students in the front row spend money on cultivation, while students in the back row use the resources from cultivation to make money, the gap between the two will only widen!

He's seen this kind of thing far too many times!

If the cultivation of Immortal Dao is Immortal Dao Potential, a contest of who has more Immortal Dao Resources, and who has more money!

Then magic power... is truly the realm of money!

Therefore, he always uses different teaching methods for students from different levels!

He thought to himself, "Those in the back row... I should focus on making money to support myself first, lest I end up with a mountain of debt and haven't achieved anything!"

Memories flooded Li Mingbo's mind: of all his classmates from the first floor, only he remained, becoming a new Second Layer student!

Body Refinement Class!

The wolf-headed, human-bodied teacher grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth. This was Lang Yougong other than Zhang Yu, the Demon Descendant cultivator and Zhang Yu's Body Refinement Class teacher!

"My courses are very flexible. You Body Tempering freely, using whatever Cultivation Method you like. I will guide each of you individually!"

All that could be seen was the Gongshu Jin on Vajra Mysterious Creation's back colliding segment by segment, producing a booming sound. This Spine Magic Skeleton, assisting his entire body's muscles, had already helped Gongshu Jin unleash a level Level 20 Expert-level Cultivation Method!

Lang Yougong flashed, and with the activation of his Eye Remains, it seemed to have penetrated through the skin and flesh, allowing him to clearly see the operation of Gongshu Jin's internal magic power, muscles, Dharma Skeleton, and other organs!

He nodded slightly. "A Spine Magic Skeleton stores a Level 20 Body Refining Cultivation Method? Not bad, not bad at all, a promising talent!"

Lang Yougong's gaze swept across the area, then fell upon Ji Yuan Shu!

Ji Yuan Shu was completely enveloped by the Wind Stabilizing Pearl, preventing him from coming into contact with the outside air!

As his heart pounded, bursts of magical power and blood flowed forth, greatly enhancing the effects of his Body Tempering!

Lang Yougong nodded slightly, thinking to himself, "Heavenly Craft Brand brand Heart Skeleton? That's top-tier stuff!"

"Not only can it maintain the state of medication at all times, but it is also connected to the Spirit Realm Network, using high-quality magic to cleanse the marrow and refine the meridians. It's like sitting still every day, constantly Body Tempering and absorbing the medicinal power!"

"A genius, an absolute Immortal Dao genius."

Watching Yu Xinghan Lang Yougong Ji Yuan Shu and Gongshu Jin sighed helplessly, "It's like this again. Looks like we'll be last again!"

During the Body Refinement Class, Zhang Yu began practicing the Level 20 Boundless Spring Autumn Zen. He had originally intended to ask the teacher for guidance, but now he sighed, "Sigh, these teachers allocate too many teaching resources to each other. It's better not to attend this class at all."

A moment later, Lang Yougong looked at Zhang Yu in front of him and thought to himself, "Oh? This Body Refining Cultivation Method is Level 20, right? And he's equipped with the Time Remnant Demon Eye. This is quite a little genius!"

Lang Yougong said, "Come on, your Boundless Spring Autumn Zen practice is quite good, let me lend you a hand!"

Zhang Yu felt the force from the opponent assisting his cultivation, and instantly felt that the efficiency seemed to have increased!

Lang Yougong said, "After Foundation Establishment, the Spirit Root is also part of the body, and it can be tempered to further improve the Fusion Degree between the Spirit Root and the body!"

"Your current Fusion Degree between your body and Spirit Root is less than 70%... If you could increase it to 100%, your Breath Circulation efficiency, mana gathering efficiency, and the power of your Martial Dao Cultivation Method would all see significant improvements!"

"The key to tempering Spirit Root lies in the fact that, under different Spirit Root conditions, the Body Refining Cultivation Method must be adjusted in subtle ways!"

"Your mastery of the Boundless Spring Autumn Zen is complete, but your understanding of your own Spirit Root is lacking!"

"Come, activate your Eye Remains, and remember the key points I'm about to teach you..."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "The key points of Cultivation Method under different Spirit Root? I've never heard Spark True Person mention this before. Could it be that Immortal Dao Technique have advanced again? Is it a new Body Tempering technique?"

At the same time, Zhang Yu activated the Time Remnant Demon Eye, and the whole world slowed down in his eyes. He began to focus on memorizing the Lang Yougong's next teachings!

The students around were slightly surprised by this scene, not expecting that Zhang Yu, who came from this floor, would be so Lang Yougong!

Gongshu Jin, however, disagreed, thinking to himself, "How could my friend be bad?"

After spending more than ten minutes instructing Zhang Yu, Lang Yougong glanced at Yu Xinghan beside him and thought to himself, "Use the Extreme Tiger Brand Eye Remains?"

Yu Xinghan said, "Teacher, I have a slight delay, so my reaction might be a little slow..."

Lang Yougong said, "Everyone uses Heaven's Eye, Heavenly Craft, and Demon Eye. Even the less capable ones use local equipment... You're using Extreme Tiger Brand? If you don't delay, who will? This Immortal Dao Potential is lacking!"

Just as Yu Xinghan was about to speak, Lang Yougong said, "Excuse me, wait a moment, let me instruct the other students first!"

Watching the other person's departing figure, Yu Xinghan cursed inwardly and looked at Zhang Yu beside him, "What does this teacher mean?"

Zhang Yu was still absorbing the guidance he had just received when he heard this and pondered, "I can sense that Teacher Lang has a good eye for talent and is able to teach according to aptitude. His teaching sequence may have a deeper meaning!"
