Li Yuan listened to Li Yang's words and looked towards the Spirit Pillar.

  This method of tempering one's spirit is indeed special.

  Before that, Li Yuan had never heard of it when he was in Jiang City.

  After all, mental strength is not as visible or tangible as physical strength, and it's not easy to improve.

  "Mental strength is very important."

  "You should have a deep understanding of this." Li Yang said: "The stronger the spiritual power, the stronger the control over the body, and the easier it is to cultivate skills."

  Li Yuan nodded slightly, his own skills had improved so quickly.

  Apart from innate intuition, the rapid surge in mental strength is the most important reason, without exception.

  Mental power is strong, perception, calculation, and understanding ability will continue to improve.

  To some extent, it is also about enhancing one's insight.

  "But it's also difficult to enhance one's spiritual power." Li Yang explained to Li Yuan, "The first type is physical cultivation, where the flesh and blood nourish the spirit. The stronger the body, the stronger the spirit that is cultivated."

  "Like 19th-grade warriors, their spiritual power is at least at the level of 17 or 18."

  "The second is to use treasures to nourish, from the most ordinary spiritual medicine, to the precious spiritual spring, to some heavenly materials and earthly treasures, such as the Nine-Leaf Soul Grass and the Ganling Soul Crystal. Li Yang said: "Only low-grade medicines have general effects, but the cost is high, while the effective heavenly materials and earthly treasures are not only expensive, but also hard to come by."

  Li Yuan seemed lost in thought.

  What is a sweet soul crystal? It sounds similar to starry earth crystals, at least the names both use "crystal".

  As for spiritual medicine? Li Yuan heard it from his uncle Li Changzhou.

  If using basic, 30,000 Blue Star Coins per copy.

  If it's a first-class spiritual medicine, it would cost 1 million blue star coins per bottle, with at least 3 bottles needed every month. The annual expenditure would be in the tens of millions of blue star coins. At the very least, one needs to use it for several years before it can provide some assistance in entering the Source Realm.

  "The third is spiritual law." Li Yang continued: "Spiritual power is difficult to cultivate, the essence lies in the spiritual illusion, it's hard to suppress spiritual consciousness."

  "If there are transcendent warriors beyond the Flying Heaven level, or some Flying Heaven martial artists who excel in this way, I am willing to leave a slight spiritual imprint on their minds, constantly suppressing their spirits, which can also have a tempering effect." Li Yang smiled and said: "However, wanting not to hurt the weak martial artist while leaving a spiritual imprint is extremely difficult. It took me less than half a day to succeed once."

  "As time passes, the remaining imprint will gradually dissipate, lasting at most two or three months."

  "It must be persisted for a long time to leave an impression."

  "Unless it's a close relative or an exceptionally talented personal disciple, who else could make those top-notch experts go to such great lengths?" Ley Yang shook his head and said.

  Li Yuan nodded involuntarily.

  Originally, in human civilization, there was such a spiritual cultivation method, Heart Method?

  Unfortunately, the requirements were too high, and it was destined to be impossible to carry out.

  "Of course."

  "It's said that there's something even more powerful than the Heart Technique, called the Visualization Technique." Li Yang smiled and said: "It's a message passed down from some extremely strong civilizations in other domains, but it has never been proven. I've only heard about it, so I don't know what it specifically is."

  Li Yuan's face remained calm and expressionless, but his heart was already stirred up with shock and turmoil.

  Visualization method?

  The "Observing the Great Day Star Sutra" I cultivated seems to be a visualization method.

  It's just too harsh to cultivate.

  Li Yuan tried practicing alone with oral formulas, but found it useless.

  The spirit must be concentrated in the 'Taiyi Yutai' of the spiritual palace to enter a state of visualization, which also eliminated Li Yuan's idea of passing it on to his family.

  "The spiritual pillar of Wudang Kunlun."

  "You can think of it as a weakened version, a wide-range 'Mind's Law', although its effect is not as good as the specialized Mind's Law, but as long as you are within the range of the Spirit Pillar's fluctuations, you will be tempered."

  "Capable of providing for all students within the school in the long term, saving a large amount of manpower and resources." Li Yang said with some pride: "Throughout Blue Star, only Xinghuo University and Kunlun Wu Da have a spiritual pillar."

  "Neither Lian Xingkong Wudang nor Heishi Wudang exist." said Li Yang.

  "Awesome." Li Yuan said sincerely.

  Cultivation resources will eventually be depleted.

  But a treasure like the Pillar of Spirit can be passed down through generations, no wonder it's called the first heavy treasure of Kunlun Wu Da, it's truly the foundation of inheritance.

  "Alright, you should be basically adapted by now." Li Yang said: "Continue to move forward and try, see which area you can reach now."

  "It is divided into nine zones in total, with the ninth zone being the most oppressive and the first zone being the weakest."

  "Yes." Li Yuan nodded.

  With a strong sense of spiritual oppression, he began to walk step by step in the direction of the pillar of spirit.

  Along the warning line on the ground, although it is only 50 meters long, it has been divided into nine areas.

  The vast majority of students are still in the first three regions, and even so, each one is very painful.

  "Ta-da!"

  "Ah..." Li Yuan took step after step deeper into the place, walking very slowly, and clearly felt the intangible spiritual pressure emanating from the Spiritual Pillar.

  It was as if a heavy hammer blow came one after another, with increasing force.

  "Li Yuan's physical strength is weak, but he should be able to make it to the third area." Principal Lei thought to himself.

  He is a 29th-level Yuan Wu Zhe, able to vaguely sense the strength and weakness of Li Yuan's spiritual power.

  Very soon.

  Li Yuan stepped into the second heavy region, very easily, without waiting for Li Yang to react too much, Li Yuan had quickly entered the third heavy region.

  Still poker-faced!

  Continue advancing into the fourth heavy region.

  "Fourth layer?" Lei Yang's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise: "Normally, one would need to have 19 levels of spiritual power to set foot in this area."

  "Is Li Yuan okay?"

  More than ten seconds later, Li Yuan, who was under tremendous mental pressure, stepped into the fourth area.

  Then!

  He continued to advance towards the fifth layer of the region, this scene not only surprised Li Yang but also caught the attention of many students who were tempering their spiritual power at the Spiritual Pillar.

  "Who is the Fifth Zone?"

  "The fifth weight is already what Yuan Wu asked for!"

  "I sense his vital energy, it seems very weak, is his spiritual power really that abnormal?" The old man was puzzled.

  They don't have Li Yuan's spiritual palace, so they can't accurately judge other people's level of life.

  But as warriors' bodies and minds are elevated, their senses become sharper, and they can also vaguely judge many things.

  "Him? I saw him in the V chat group yesterday, seems like a newcomer, named Li Yuan."

  "I also woke up and broke Jin Shixiong's admission record."

  "Li Yuan?"

  "It must be him, Dean Li Yang accompanied him." Many students started discussing in a low voice.

  Even some people opened their smart rings and started recording videos.

  These students were secretly shocked.

  High skills can be interpreted as wisdom, but if physical fitness is not improved, spiritual power is usually difficult to improve rapidly.

  Not far away.

  "The fifth weight." Li Yuan was already somewhat strained, his expression revealing a hint of pain.

  That's right!

  If it were just a matter of spiritual strength, Li Yuan would have had a hard time staying in the fourth region.

  But just like a body of the same kind, the stronger the skill is, the more terrifying the actual power that is brought out.

  Mental strength is similar, with mental strength levels being the same, but if the willpower is strong or weak, it will be expressed differently.

  Just like a person eating all kinds of heavenly treasures, his body and spiritual power are both at level 19.

  Another is arduous and bitter cultivation into 19th grade.

  Two people may look at data in the same way, but when faced with a terrible torture, can they persist for the same amount of time?

  Willpower is equivalent to the 'technique' of spiritual power.

  Li Yuan, day and night without stopping to practice "Observing the Great Day Star Empty Sky Scripture", repeatedly undergoing hell-like tempering and refinement, had long since tempered his will to an extremely high level.

  Nature can condense its spiritual power to a terrible degree.

  One step

  One more step.

  Finally, Li Yuan stood firmly at the end of the fifth region, his face and expression were slightly distorted.

  The intense mental pressure brought forth a terrible suffering that made Li Yuan's entire head buzz.

  "Freshman of grade one?"

  "He has already charged into the fifth layer and is still standing firmly, which means he still has strength left."

  "Is this guy for real? His skills are strong, and his mental strength is also terrifying?"

  "The fifth weight region, isn't that saying his spirit can rival Yuan Wu's?" This scene shocked the other students.

  "What level of Yuan Wu Zhe?" Lei Yang's eyes also flickered with light: "Is it willpower?"

  "No wonder, being able to withstand washing the spiritual marrow three times a month."

  "This willpower is truly one of a kind." Li Yang felt a slight sense of emotion in his heart: "Many high-level Yuan Wu practitioners probably don't even have such strong willpower."

  In the source martial artist, 20-22 levels are often referred to as primary source martial artists.

  Levels 23-25, known as Intermediate Source Warrior.

  Levels 26-28, known as Advanced Source Warrior.

  29th-level Source Warrior is indeed a top-level Source Warrior.

  ...five minutes later.

  Li Yuan stepped back step by step from the fifth heavy region to the first heavy region.

  Breath and expression returned to calmness, and she went back to Li Yang's side.

  "Teacher, students are incompetent and can only rush to the fifth layer." Li Yuan said seemingly honestly: "There's no way to rush to the ninth layer."

  Incapable?

  Ninth Layer Domain?

  Li Yang's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but say: "Alright, stop bragging. I also only made it to the ninth region after becoming a 29th-level Yuan Wu... How old are you? You're already very impressive."

  "How can a teacher make it to the ninth region?" Li Yuan exclaimed in surprise.

  "This spiritual pillar, usually only 13th-level warriors or above can attempt it, otherwise it's easy to suffer excessive mental damage and hurt one's spirit." Li Yang said: "But the highest level is for high-ranking Yuan Wu warriors to hone their spirits."

  "For someone like me who is a top-tier source martial artist, it has very little effect."

  "As for the Flying Swordsmen, they are completely useless." said Li Yang.

  Li Yuan nodded involuntarily, so it was like that.

  Me too.

  Budo University is essentially a base for cultivating martial artists, and it's indeed very suitable as a spiritual pillar.

  If it's beneficial for all flying warriors, it would instead easily lead to trouble.

  "Come out with me first." Li Yang said, turning around and walking outside.

  Two people walked out of Zhuque Building and came to the empty square outside.

  "Do you feel the defect of the spiritual pillar?" Li Yang asked as he walked.

  "Is it too exhausting?" Li Yuan seemed to be thinking deeply.

  Just now, he felt a little tired spiritually.

  "Right." Li Yang nodded: "Just like exercising, if you overdo it once, your whole body will ache for several days."

  "A first-class warrior, if he has to wait for two hours at a time, will need at least three to five days to recover. During this period, his depressed spirit will also affect his normal cultivation." Li Yang said: "Therefore, it is necessary to take spiritual nourishing medicine."

  "Accelerate spiritual power recovery."

  "Even so, most students would only go to the Spiritual Pillar for cultivation once a week," said Li Yang.

  Li Yuan suddenly realized, no wonder there were few students waiting at the Spirit Pillar earlier.

  "However."

  "As an S-level special training contract member, every month, the school will provide you with a Spirit Spring. Lei Yang said: "Each one, if sold outside, is worth at least 1 million Blue Star Coins."

  "It is much more effective than a first-order nourishing spirit medicine, and its side effects are smaller."

  "Yuan Shen Ling Quan?" Li Yuan was secretly shocked, he had only heard of it online.

  Calculated, just this one cultivation resource is worth tens of millions of Blue Star Coins per year.

  Really luxurious!

  Hesitating for only three seconds, Li Yuan directly said: "Teacher, can this be exchanged for other cultivation resources? I don't really need it."

  "For example, assisting physical cultivation."

  "Needless?" Li Yang was taken aback for a moment.

  "Teacher, I already have a high spiritual talent, and the Spiritual Pillar is of little help to me." Li Yuan said: "What's most important for me right now is still improving my physical quality."

  Spiritual Luminous Spring?

  In terms of effect, it is absolutely inferior to Guanxiangfa in restoring the state of mind and body.

  It's a complete waste.

  "The school has prepared a 'High Source Spiritual Spring' for you every month in terms of physical cultivation."

  "The effect is equivalent to five or six yuan ling dan, and its value is comparable to that of the yuan ling spring, but it has a smaller burden on the body." Li Yang furrowed his brow and said: "However, if you were to exchange it for two portions of high-grade yuan ling spring, would you be able to use it once every half month? I'm afraid your body won't be able to withstand it."

  He knew what Li Yuan said was reasonable.

  With Li Yuan's innate spiritual power and willpower, he basically doesn't need to use too many external objects, unless it's a rare treasure.

  "Gao Yuan Ling Quan?" Li Yuan thought to himself, he had seen it before in the 'Business City' of Xing Huo Wu Dian.

  But I just can't bear to buy it.

  Too expensive!

  Think carefully, Kunlun Wu Da indeed prepared a lot of cultivation resources for himself.

  Li Yuan fell into deep thought.

  "There's a way, you can try it." Li Yang said suddenly.

  "Please speak, teacher." Li Yuanlian said, raising his head.

  "Use more of the Washing Spirit Essence, four times, or even five." Li Yang stared at Li Yuan and said slowly: "However, you have already used the Washing Spirit Essence, you should be clear about it."

  "It is essentially a detoxification process that thoroughly cleanses the body of various impurities."

  "Continuous use in a short period of time, the pain is more and more exaggerated." Li Yang sighed: "Three times a month, you can hold on, at your age, it's already unbelievable."

  Li Yuan was stunned, "Wash Shen Ling Mai, use four times a month?"

  Five times?

  After a long silence, when Li Yang thought Li Yuan was about to give up.

  Suddenly Li Yuan said: "Teacher, I want to try!"

  I don't know why.

  After saying this sentence, Li Yuan felt that his lower body had some fiery reaction...

  ……

  After discussing with Li Yang for half a day, Li Yuan finally learned the truth about the 'Extreme Cultivation Method' given to him by Fan Jin teacher.

  But in the end, Li Yuan still managed to persuade Lai Yang.

  Every month, two high-yield spiritual springs.

  Last for one month.

  If Li Yuan can't hold on after a month, he will switch to a cultivation plan of one Spiritual Spring and one High-grade Spiritual Spring per month.

  ……

  At night, Li Yuan returned to his own villa district.

  Enter virtual network, Kunlun space.

  "As instructed by Teacher Li."

  "Besides regular physical training and tempering spiritual power, if I want to quickly improve my skills, I still need to learn more second-level gun techniques." Li Yuan clicked on the light screen: "Refer to the opinions of more seniors."

  Martial Arts Knowledge Network.

  This is a global network of all martial arts universities, where every university student can log in and learn for free a certain number of martial arts secrets.

  Soon, Li Yuan saw his authority as an S-level student.

  "Can learn 50 second-level secret books for free, including skill secret books, source power secret books, spiritual operation secret books..."

  "Can learn three free third-class secret books."
