Fifth-Tier Body (Readers who can, please support the official release. Thank you!)

People are always moving forward.

Wealth, experience, and ability originate from extraordinary levels—under the accumulation and changes of all these, each has its own destiny and path. Between the macro and the micro, they constantly combine and change, and the "results" that are ultimately revealed are vastly different and varied.

Just like these "Colored-Pattern Silkworm" that finally managed to hatch after many of their own eggs died in the womb and survived by living among a few Spirit Plant, their appearance has changed significantly.

In essence, they were nothing more than a "very small minority" that had undergone the most brutal natural selection process and emerged from the intense baptism, or rather, erosion, of the Spiritual Energy environment at close range of Meteorite Fragments.

It must be acknowledged that the fragility and tenacity of life manifest themselves in different forms, whether in people or in external things.

At first glance, others might not have noticed anything, but in Li Yun's eyes, the subtle Spirituality reactions manifested among these seemingly similar eggshell-colored larvae varied in strength and even showed some actual differences in their essential nature.

He carefully stepped through the lush green thickets, approaching closer, and casually touched the grass blades that were lazily wriggling among the leaves.

IOU.

As expected, several of the insects that were touched reacted immediately upon being startled by the outside world.

Seeing these insects with colorful rings on their bodies, many instinctively flinched, or even immediately moved towards the leaves.

It rolled down.

This avoidance response clearly stems from a genetic instinct inherent in the genetic prototype.

At the same time, under stress, the already colorful segments on the insect's body suddenly bulge and light up like synapses, making the colors even brighter. You can even vaguely see tiny granular liquid flowing under the taut skin.

In the blink of an eye, a fine mist of the same color immediately dissipated from between the insect's skin!

Hmm... it's poison.

As soon as he touched it, a slight tingling pain came from his fingertips, and he saw that a faint "color" was also coated on the skin of his fingertips. Li Yun shook his head and did not react much.

Such a method of releasing poison is ultimately an isolated case.

In contrast, the outer skin suddenly hardens to the point of being as hard as stone within just a few breaths, and under its camouflage-like fading, it almost instantly blends into the surrounding leaves—a "chameleon" ability.

Some insects suddenly raise their heads, spit out a thin thread, and then quickly pull it back, using the force to propel themselves towards another plant—a natural avoidance behavior.

Yes.

The "accumulation" of Numinous Spark is free, ever-changing, and can have far-reaching consequences, even exceeding common sense and leaving no trace.

Even with seemingly similar foundations and factors, the results of specific "expressions" can be vastly different.

These "same kind" of insects, hatched from the same nest of eggs under the same conditions, have already shown some different directions of differentiation in their early larval stage.

Ignoring Ning Yu's reaction, he quickly followed the connection between Druid and living beings, silently "stopping" the insects' startled behavior.

Li Yun simply flicked his fingers a few times into the air, and as the color between the leather fibers faded, the strange sensation between his fingers also quickly dissipated.

"Are your hands alright? Many of these little guys are poisonous. I have some freshly picked fruit here; eating one should help."

Seeing that Ning Yu was already busy taking out the storage jade box, Li Yun raised his hand to stop her.

"It's alright, I'm fine. These insects have potential; with proper nurturing, they should be useful."

It's clear that this Druid Apprentice has made considerable progress recently.

On the surface, she seemed to still be at the Second Tier level, but judging from the changes in her inner aura, she had clearly perceived some of the connotations of this exchange. Several Druid and nature-related exchanges and abilities were completed one by one, and she immersed herself in them to carefully practice and comprehend them.

Putting aside other factors, the subtle changes in an individual's actual energy pool alone have probably already increased nearly exponentially.

The foundation is quite solid.

While Li Yun didn't intend to give these acquaintances any special "tutoring," he wasn't stingy with his occasional verbal "suggestions" and explanations.

After all, the process from the first to the Third Tier is essentially a process of nurturing the foundation.

It's like laying the foundation for a tall building in advance. But now, due to a lack of experience, many people seem to think that the foundation and elements laid in advance are more or less irrelevant, so they just blindly pursue speed.

But when they finally need to break through to the Fourth Tier in the future, they will often be dumbfounded when faced with the harsh reality that their "puzzle" is incomplete and their foundation is insufficient!

It's important to understand that, aside from items and props that are openly priced at the Main God, even items like this one, which involves personal enhancement, have prices that fluctuate to some extent depending on the individual.

In the beginning, everyone was a blank slate, free to draw freely, so this trend was naturally not very clear.

However, as people gradually climb the ranks, including those seemingly identical items at the Main God's place that actually have vastly different prices, many intelligent people gradually begin to appreciate the special meaning behind them.

The exchange price is affected not only by the quality of the product itself, but also by certain factors related to the user.

Latent conditions.

Just like Li Ce, the Force Enhancer who advanced to the Fourth Tier, if he hadn't obtained the qualification for entry -the Force exchange during his novice stage, and hadn't grasped some of its mysteries through constant, relentless attempts—

For ordinary users whose basic enhancements have absolutely nothing to do with the "The Force" system, how could a mere ten or twenty thousand Universal Points and two or three Rare Grade exchange cards possibly qualify them for a Fourth-Tier Enhancement of the Force Resonance?

The foundation laid now, though quietly laid, has already vaguely determined the heights that can be reached in the future.

If you skip classes and slack off, even though Main God will naturally offer a way to make amends, the price you pay will likely be a thousand times greater in the future.

The intricacies of this situation are not something that can be explained to Humanity, and under the current circumstances, he is probably the only one who fully understands the intricacies involved.

Of course, this doesn't prevent Li from occasionally offering a few pointers to these acquaintances when he has some free time.

When Ning Yu placed the seemingly stiff and curled-up jade-like insect, which, when squeezed, still had a hint of softness inside, back onto the leaf, the little creature, which had been playing dead, quickly "came back to life" after Ning Yu sprinkled some green light on it to soothe it. It swiftly hid deep within the branches and leaves, refusing to show its face.

It's somewhat amusing to watch.

Fatty Yuan, standing nearby, wasn't idle either. He expertly pulled out a box from the neatly categorized "products" on the table, opened it, and glanced inside. A dozen or so pearl-shaped pearls were neatly arranged, their color uniform, their sweet aroma tinged with an alluring, slightly spicy scent.

Interest.

Without any hesitation, he picked up a pearl from the pile, tilted his head back, and popped it into his mouth.

With only a brief, tingling reaction, like drinking ice wine, a hint of intoxication briefly appeared on his fat face.

But the fat man quickly realized what was happening; after all, it wasn't the first time he'd tried it.

Suppressing the intense urge to make him throw another one into his mouth, I just smacked my lips and, after confirming it was correct, shoved the box into my pocket and expertly registered and signed it.

In this area, usually only a few people come and go, but the fat boss is very meticulous in checking the harvested "Spirit Plant fruits" according to the process. After all, they are seeds exchanged from the Main God, Jade fragments provide a unique Numinous Spark environment, and they can only be produced by relatively professional Druid.

Even for those who can spend all their time in this kind of environment, it's actually not that important.

It's nothing more than trying something new and satisfying your appetite.

In comparison, since their quality isn't particularly high, the actual function of these fruits in replenishing Spiritual Energy in small quantities isn't that crucial.

However, for the sake of boosting morale, and because Boss Yuan is truly skilled at managing people, he still regularly allocates a small amount of this special resource to the Preparatory Camp.

He clearly intended to use this tangible "miracle fruit" to continuously cultivate a fiery atmosphere of striving for excellence.

This will maximize the competitive enthusiasm of the candidates.

And you know what? When they learned that those who performed exceptionally well could receive these legendary "extraordinary items" as a reward, they all became incredibly enthusiastic, training like they were risking their lives.

The results were surprisingly good.

The saying "things are valued for their rarity" is certainly true here.

With so many people involved, the truth couldn't be kept secret any longer. Even Fatty Yuan's core team, who had already obtained official user status, quickly learned about the matter and came to him to inquire about it indirectly.

Not to mention what came later, even the Special Office, somehow got wind of it and specially asked a high-ranking acquaintance to go through all sorts of trouble to get him back, pleading and begging, just to get back one or two boxes of this priceless "exotic fruit"—

Of course, compared to this obviously recently harvested "finished product," what the Special Office was more interested in uncovering was the specific source of this stuff.

After all, among the seemingly diverse types of enhancements, the auxiliary and production-based enhancement systems, which are actually relatively weak under the Main God's task system, such as forging extraordinary items, enchanting, planting, alchemy, and talisman making, are not the first choice for most people.

Especially now that the True Body Mission has appeared, this production-oriented build, which is not particularly strong in combat and requires a lot of resources to practice and develop, has suddenly become much weaker.

In contrast, it often requires the support of a clear force and team to cultivate such talent. However, with Fatty Yuan keeping his mouth shut and guarding against any leaks, he did not rashly reveal much useful information.

He's not stupid; he understands exactly what this kind of thing, especially the sustainability of resources and manpower, really means, so naturally he wouldn't reveal the inside story casually.

Putting everything else aside, the room is now covered with long talismans hanging in every corner – all practice pieces made by Li Yun imitating the Talisman above the Jade fragment in the center.

Although it paled in comparison to the genuine article, using only a few reams of ordinary talisman paper, talisman brush, and talisman ink exchanged from the Main God as a medium, and condensing essence and spirit as a grinding process, the final clumsy product could barely achieve some effect in the short term, thereby further limiting the rate at which Numinous Spark was lost in the vicinity.

Along with the subtle changes that accumulated over time from the Jade fragments lingering around it----

Having reached this point, even considering all the factors of "favorable timing, advantageous location, and harmonious relationships," this building is undoubtedly a solid foundation for the team's growth and development!

This is precisely why, despite all the persuasion and cajoling, Fatty Yuan refused to budge, preferring to shoulder a large debt and consume resources rather than abandon his roots here and accept the substantial conditions for relocation to the High-tech Zone, where he could start from scratch.

In contrast, his ability to so easily accept being "swallowed up" by Li and his group was naturally not without reason.

Reason.

After all, most of the "assets" in this place were accumulated by others. Objectively speaking, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them major shareholders!

----I'm thinking a bit too far ahead.

After putting away their things and glancing at the changes, they decided not to disturb Ning Yu's daily routine any longer. Amidst their laughter and conversation, the group cautiously left the room, closed the inner door which also bore the paper talismans, and went upstairs to recuperate.

For these users who risk their lives, they can enjoy themselves, relax, indulge in sensual pleasures and extravagant lifestyles—but they absolutely cannot truly let their guard down!

In that real world, with the seemingly invisible "sphere of light" actually pressing down on everyone's heads at all times, no one dared to be so careless as to act recklessly.

Li Yun, who was also among them, seemed to be no exception.

I found a quiet spot to sit down alone, stopped what I was doing, and quietly felt the subtle changes in the Spiritual Energy flowing through my body with each breath. In doing so, I washed away the traces of blood that I had unintentionally picked up when I stepped on someone during that minor conflict.

Although Fatty Yuan and the others didn't say anything about this conflict and grudge, they probably still had some concerns in their hearts, but he didn't care too much.

In the silence, a vibrant energy slowly rose, moving the thin "clouds" around it, somewhat like water flowing downhill, as it slowly swirled around.

For Fifth Tier life forms, while undergoing profound transformation, the subtle "characteristics" manifested by their Spirituality are even more important than the original concept of biological individuality.

With the alternation of life forms, the extraordinary extension of lifespan goes without saying, and flesh and blood are no longer absolutely vital; the energy system has already formed an internal cycle within the body.

Correspondingly, every bone, internal organ, and muscle in the body is constantly immersed in and nourished by Spirituality energy, thus continuously transforming towards a theoretically "idealized posture" supported by that characteristic.

Or rather, evolution!

This is essentially a subtle trend determined by many internal factors such as an individual's own will, related reinforcement, and energy attributes, in order to gradually adapt to the influence of the load originating from the inner Supernatural Elements —provided, of course, that there is a sufficient supply of energy!

Therefore, theoretically speaking, if your system's "blueprint" is clear and profound enough, and its lifespan is long enough, and with a sufficient energy supply, even if you just hide away and do nothing but sleep soundly, you can probably gradually evolve to a more perfect level over a long period of time.

To use a more vivid analogy, it's like a five-colored dragon cub that has just hatched and uttered its true name, versus an ancient dragon that has survived the trials of countless ages and now soars through the skies!

This is different from the previous practice of intentionally maintaining a state of "malnutrition".

Now, he absorbs a portion of Numinous Spark each day to nourish himself. Even though there aren't many outward changes, Li Yun can still subtly sense the influence between his body and spirit.

Just like the rainbow ring larvae that Ning Yu had carefully cultivated before, as a new toxin that already clearly had a certain Spirituality influence, upon contact with it, he could only feel "a little bit".

Unlike the first Third Tier, the enhancements of extraordinary individuals in the middle and high tiers may be more biased, but they often represent a relatively comprehensive "transformation" of their essence. In particular, they possess the suppressive power and corresponding resistance under a clear energy system, rather than the weak situation of "ordinary people who have gained superpowers" in the usual sense.

It's obvious that a truly extraordinary being would not allow itself to have such obvious weaknesses or shortcomings.

Without uttering a word, with just a long, drawn-out breath, the countless "dust" around him, like a galaxy, invisibly seeped into his body, permeating every strand of flesh and hair.

The body is enslaved by form, and form is born from vital energy!

Within this seemingly unchanged form, now accompanied by meditation, a flickering radiance gradually rises and falls among the internal organs, the entire body, every organ, and every particle, like the rolling tide.

There was neither joy nor pain; it was as if the concept of "self" had faded somewhat. Li Yun simply observed this moment calmly, without relying on external factors, experiencing all this wonder solely on a spiritual and willpower level.

It's like radiation.

As the surging "waves" wash over them, most of them pass right through without a trace.

A subtle reaction, akin to the shattering and melting of an object under the burning flame, coupled with certain intangible and intangible fluctuations, emerged together with this delicate connection in every part of the body, between each of the crystal cells that constitute this human form—
