After hanging up the phone call with Yang Shengdian, Hai Institute sat in the martial arts room, closing his eyes and meditating.

  Gradually.

  On the surface of Hai's body, a faint blue glow emerged and flowed, these glows contained a strange power that made him seem to be shrouded in a layer of hazy light.

  Dazzling, as if divine presence.

  Soon.

  "Dean Hai, Li Yuan has arrived." The sound of Li Yang's slightly respectful voice came from the entrance.

  "Let Li Yuan come in." Dean Hai opened his eyes, the blue light that enveloped his entire body quickly converged and dissipated, and his breath also returned to normal.

  A faint sound of footsteps echoed outside the door.

  Li Yuan walked into this small martial arts room and respectfully said: "Principal Hai."

  To Fei Tian Wu Zhe, Li Yuan is deeply revered in his heart.

  "Come and sit down, don't be formal." Principal Hai said calmly.

  "Yes." Li Yuan walked up and sat down honestly as before.

  Li Yang then closed the door.

  The room fell silent.

  "I watched your match with Ding Tai Feng." Principal Hai's eyes were warm and gentle, with a hint of a smile: "To have such a performance, not only did Dean Lei and Dean Xu get surprised, even I was surprised."

  "Your excellence exceeds our expectations."

  "Dean is overpraising." Li Yuanlian said.

  "I've never exaggerated when I praised someone." Dean Hai smiled faintly: "At just eighteen years old, your skills have reached the realm of subtlety... At least in my over ten years as dean of the Sixth Institute, I haven't seen anyone else from our school reach this level except for you."

  Li Yuan was speechless.

  "The better you perform, the more attention you'll receive, so don't be afraid to show off your skills." Dean Hai smiled slightly: "This time in the Ten Schools Newcomer War, you ranked second and have qualified for a 'Heavenly Talent' award."

  "Although all four can get rewards, the higher the ranking, the better the reward."

  "Now, let's start selecting."

  The dean of the sea clicked on his own smart ring, and a light curtain was projected.

  Right behind you.

  Whoa! Inside the martial arts room, a large amount of light gathered and finally formed a huge light screen projection in front of Li Yuan, with a length of over three meters and a height of over two meters.

  There is a large amount of text and patterns on it.

  "High-grade treasure, Body Transformation Treasure, Body Cultivation Treasure, Source Power Secret Treasure, Spiritual Treasure, Toxic Treasure, Biological Young Beast, Mineral Treasure, Unknown Effect Treasure..." Li Yuan's eyes scanned over them, and immediately there were numerous categories of treasures.

  Extremely complicated.

  There are many nouns that Li Yuan does not understand what they mean.

  "What is known as 'heavenly material and earthly treasure' refers to some rare treasures nurtured between heaven and earth."

  "These treasures are mostly nurtured in a 'high-source environment', that is, an environment with high-density source power." Dean Hai seemed to see Li Yuan's confusion and explained: "Our entire Seven Star Sea was originally without source power... Therefore, the heavenly materials and earthly treasures produced from our Seven Star Sea are very rare."

  Li Yuan listened intently, these were secrets unknown in the past.

  "Many exotic civilizations, their world's source energy density is far beyond ours, so many rare and precious treasures were born."

  "Even the source of power, after being nurtured for a long time, has been passed down through generations, making many alien civilizations' lives inherently possess great strength, like the black dragon I mentioned to you last time, and even some more powerful creatures, are all due to this reason." Dean Hai was quite patient.

  Li Yuan suddenly realized, so it was like this.

  "There are even more special areas."

  "Stellar Frontier." The Dean of the Sea said, "As a special region where different civilizations intersect in space, many stellar frontiers have given birth to unimaginable treasures... This is also the reason why numerous alien civilizations want to wage war with our human civilization at various stellar frontiers."

  "Essentially, we're just fighting over resources."

  "Like many ordinary warriors, they take Qi and blood medicines, Yuanli Jingdan and other raw materials, most of which are produced in some of the starry skies we occupy." Dean Hai said calmly.

  Li Yuan listened attentively.

  Some of the information he had heard before, but a lot of it was new to him.

  "There are also materials like 'Gao Yuan Ling Quan' and some special metals, such as the 'Yuan Li Zhan Yi' that Yuan Wu relies on most heavily." Hai said, "In essence, they are all heavenly treasures and earthly gems."

  "It's just that many treasures have become widespread, and the masses don't think they're precious. To be precise, the ones you've come into contact with, such as Yuanli Jingdan, first-grade Qi-blood medicine, Xishen Lingmai, etc., all belong to first-grade treasures."

  "And like Gao Yuan Ling Quan and Yun Shen Ling Quan, they belong to second-grade treasures."

  "Third-grade treasures, many of which are considered 'heavenly materials and earthly treasures' by ordinary people, are extremely rare and mostly cannot be stably mass-produced." Dean Hai said in a low voice, "The ones you've come into contact with, such as the Baimei Lingkuo, are also third-grade treasures."

  Li Yuan was astonished.

  It turns out that Bai Mao Ling Jiao is a third-grade treasure, no wonder it's much more precious than Gao Yuan Ling Quan.

  "There are only a limited number of third-grade treasures, many of which are extremely rare within our human civilization and have very special effects." Principal Hai said: "Among the third-grade treasures, there is also a huge difference in value."

  "The most precious, like the Fruit of Transformation, just one portion is enough to directly transform an ordinary person's body into a Source Martial Artist." Principal Hai said: "Like the Nine-Turn Soul Fruit, it can directly transform an ordinary person's spiritual power into 29th level."

  "If Flying Swordsmen use them, it will be greatly beneficial."

  Li Yuan was stunned and his eyes widened in amazement.

  What kind of fruit is this? What's going on with this freaky thing? It can directly turn someone into a Yuan Wu warrior?

  There is also the Nine Revolutions of Xian Hun Fruit, which is even more abnormal, with spiritual power directly at level 29?

  After cultivating so hard for so long, my spiritual power is only at level 23.

  Still don't know how long it will take until level 29.

  "Don't think about it, these things are extinct, and they only appeared a few times in history." Principal Hai smiled: "Their value is more than a hundred, a thousand times that of the Lingjiao... something that can't be bought with money."

  Li Yuan was speechless and had nothing to say.

  Money is very important, but it's a certificate used to measure the value of ordinary goods.

  Some rare treasures, or treasures that can attract even the strongest human civilizations... The significance of money is small.

  Things that can be measured by money are mostly treasures that can be continuously produced and have a stable supply.

  "This time, you can choose a third-grade treasure," said the Dean of the Sea: "But the value has an upper limit, the cheaper the thing you choose, the more quantity you get."

  "The more expensive, the less quantity." Principal Hai pointed at the dense options on the light screen.

  "Please instruct me, Dean." Li Yuan said with a smile.

  These treasures, I've only occasionally heard of one or two, how can I choose the most correct ones?

  "If you want to ask me, then it's the Star Crystal of the Earth's Core." said Hai Yuanzhang calmly.

  Li Yuan was taken aback.

  Isn't this the best place in heaven and earth promised by Yang Shengdian himself?

  "Have you heard?" Dean Hai smiled slightly.

  "Hmm." Li Yuan nodded: "In the Wu Temple contract, there is a clause that requires me to reach 5th rank before I turn 20. The contract will be upgraded to S-rank and grant me this treasure."

  There's no need to keep this secret from Dean Hai.

  "Su Jing is a rare treasure born between heaven and earth, with many wonderful uses, strengthening the body, cultivating future generations, expanding one's spirit, recovering from injuries... its uses are extremely broad." Principal Hai explained: "There are also many types of it."

  "You cultivate the 'Rock Solid Cultivation Method', which matches this school of thought. The Stellar Crystal should be the most compatible with you."

  "For normal martial arts geniuses, they have advanced cultivation methods. Choosing a place with abundant spiritual energy is the best."

  "But you don't need to."

  "On the contrary, your body is transforming into what it needs most." Dean Hai smiled and said, "Of course, this is my suggestion, but the specific choice is up to you."

  "I'll listen to Dean's." Li Yuan said immediately.

  Suggestion?

  When leaders give advice, it's best to take it as an order; otherwise, the advice is just an opinion.

  Moreover, Li Yuan also thinks that President Hai's words are reasonable.

  "Go."

  The Dean of the Sea nodded slightly: "You ranked second this time and can exchange for eight units of Star Crystal."

  "This thing cannot be placed in your residence, it's not safe. From now on, you must apply in advance each time you use it and use it in a special room in the Vermilion Bird Building." Dean Hai said: "I will arrange for someone to take care of it."

  "Unsafe?" Li Yuan was taken aback.

  "You have tens of millions, hundreds of millions of Blue Star Coins in your card, and no one is eyeing them." Dean Hai said calmly: "But these rare treasures are all physical objects. Once you get them, selling them for over a billion Blue Star Coins would be easy... If I give them to you directly and people find out, it's hard to guarantee that someone won't harbor evil intentions."

  "Treasures can't be kept safe, but you might even lose your life."

  "Remember, never test people's hearts."

  "Yes." Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

  Me too.

  A treasure worth tens of millions of Blue Star coins, if it's lost... The key is personal safety.

  "There's something else."

  "Either today or tomorrow, the Starfire Temple will likely find you to upgrade your contract from A-rank to S-rank." Principal Hai said softly: "The promised Star Crystal, equivalent to ten units, will also be prepared for you."

  "Specifically, let the people from Xinghuo Wudian contact you."

  "Wu Dian's S-level contract?" Li Yuan wondered.

  I didn't tell anyone, how did Dean Hai find out?

  "Is there anything else?" asked Principal Hai: "If not, then go back."

  What?

  Thought for a while.

  "Director, if a person's body has suffered great trauma and their expected lifespan is shortened, are there any third-grade treasures that can extend their life?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

  "Is it your uncle?" Dean Hai smiled faintly.

  Li Yuan was shocked.

  "I've seen all your information." Principal Hai said calmly: "Yes, and there's more than one kind."

  Li Yuan's eyes lit up.

  "It's just that the value is not low, your uncle has contracted Inflammation Bone Poison... It seems that the inflammation has been cleared by the Flame Tongue Spirit Spring, but it's only superficial... And being weak and unable to receive nourishment, many rare treasures used will instead have side effects, it's hard to say whether it'll be beneficial or not. Dean Hai said: "The effect is extremely good and quite common, is the 'Dragon Spirit Heart Fruit', it's most effective in countering Inflammation Bone Poison."

  "It's enough to make your uncle fully recover and have no hidden dangers, with an expected lifespan of over 120 years."

  "Dragon Spirit Fruit? Expected lifespan over 120 years?" Li Yuan's heart was racing with excitement.

  As expected!

  Different strength, different vision.

  Wan Shu was completely unaware of these things and only knew some rumors, but Hai Yuanzhang, as a flying heavenly warrior, could prescribe the right medicine for the disease.

  "This thing."

  "If measured in terms of money, its value is at least over 10 billion Blue Star Coins."

  "It's still hard to come by even if you want to buy it." Principal Hai said slowly, "After all, restoring vitality is not its main purpose, many powerful warriors have used it up."

  Ten billion Blue Star Coins? Li Yuan's heart sank slightly.

  It's really expensive!

  "Director Xie informed." Li Yuan said, in any case, at least he knew some clues.

  "Right."

  "Your mental power has exceeded level 20, you can go choose a spiritual secret book 'Condensing the Mind', try to cultivate it first." The principal of the Sea Academy suddenly spoke up: "Wait until you become a Yuan Wu practitioner, your mental power exceeds level 25, then cultivate more spiritual secret books."

  "Yes." Li Yuan nodded.

  ……

  When Li Yuan left, the door closed gently.

  "Dragon Spirit Fruit?" The Dean of the Sea murmured to himself, closing his eyes once more.

  Silently start practicing.

  It's not a difficult task for President Hai to take out such treasures with his wealth and power.

  He just won't do it.

  Even if some flying martial artist thought highly of Li Yuan, no one would invest in him like this.

  A treasure worth over 10 billion Blue Star Coins was used to save an ordinary person, not even to save their life, but to prolong it?

  This has gone beyond the usual sense of 'cultivation' and 'investment assistance'.

  ……

  Back to the villa soon.

  Li Yuan then received a notice from the school and a bank deposit notification.

  "Eight units of Star Crystal will be stored in the 'School Treasury'?" Li Yuan browsed through the document: "If I want to use it, do I need to apply one day in advance each time?"

  "Will there be a special room arranged?" Li Yuan whispered.

  Li Yuan had to admit that Kunlun Wudang's arrangement was very reasonable and also the safest.

  As for another arrival notice.

  The 200 million Blue Star Coins reward for the newcomer war of the top ten schools.

  "This can let me not worry about money for several months in the future." Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile.

  Immediately.

  Glancing at the smartwatch, there are many messages from classmates and friends.

  Most of them were asking about or congratulating him on his achievements in the Ten Schools Newcomer War.

  Tian Dawei, Li Tianyou and others also sent messages.

  After one reply.

  "Continue practicing your gun." Li Yuan put down his smart ring and resumed silently practicing his gun.

  "The subtlety of mind is the boundary."

  "As long as I persist in practicing and comprehending, my marksmanship and fist techniques will quickly break through the 90% bottleneck of the fourth stage." Li Yuan thought to himself: "Once my fist technique crosses into the 90% range of the fourth stage, my body's evolution efficiency will increase by a large margin."

  "Grade 14?"

  "At most one week, it should be achievable." Li Yuan's heart was filled with anticipation.

  Once you reach level 14, you can proceed with Spiritual Guidance.

  ……

  Practiced all the way until more than 8 o'clock in the evening, and had a serving of Gao Yuan Ling Quan in between.

  Li Yuan had just stopped, and his eyes glanced at a line on the Shen Gong panel:

  Martial Arts Boundary: Gun Technique (4th Stage 91%), Body Technique (4th Stage 84%), Fist Technique (4th Stage 91%)

  One day time.

  Finally truly completed breakthrough.

  "My skills have finally reached the fourth stage of perfection! If I were to face Dantai Feng now, it would be even harder for him to win." Li Yuan closed his eyes slightly, his mind sensing every part of his body.

  A powerful spiritual force, as if perfectly harmonized and integrated with every muscle, flesh, blood, and bone.

  Some hidden deep-seated illnesses and minor flesh wounds caused by cultivation.

  At this moment, everything is clear and visible.

  If it does not reach 'mind into subtlety', this is the injury gradually accumulating, will affect the physical progress, and will also affect the expected lifespan.

  But now, with a thought in Li Yuan's mind, many subtle and hidden wounds began to heal.

  In the next few days, Li Yuan's body will become more energetic and stronger.

  It can be said.

  No treasures are needed; any martial artist who has entered a state of profound mental clarity can maintain their physical functions at the highest level for an extended period.

  "Full power!" Li Yuan arrived at the fist strength testing site, concentrating his spirit and energy.

  Suddenly fierce and punches.

  In the instant of explosion, countless subtle forces in the muscles and bones were mobilized by the power of the soul.

  Wow!

  One fist slammed heavily onto the giant test punching bag.

  "Boom!" A dull explosive sound.

  Instantly.

  The screen above the punching force test site clearly displays: "15224 kg (action qualified)".
