"Is it a subtle mind?" Li Yuan's eyes lit up: "Congratulations, senior, felicitations to you, senior."

  A true martial artist must master four essential skills.

  Having a refined spirit is a necessary condition for becoming an advanced source warrior (levels 26-28).

  The five segments of heaven and man unite, which is a necessary condition for becoming a top-level Yuan Wu Zhe (29th level).

  Therefore, most of the source martial artists, as long as they are not too old to break through, can gradually become level 24 or 25 after many years of practice.

  For example, Wan Qinghe is a 25th-level Yuan Wu Zhe.

  But going further up to become a high-level source warrior? The difficulty soars, and the number plummets.

  Senior source martial artist, placed in Kunlun Wu Da has the qualifications to serve as a formal teacher.

  A breakthrough in skills is indeed something that cannot be bought with any amount of money.

  "Only in terms of skill, you are my senior, having become a fifth-rank Tianren at such a young age." Liu Jing smiled and said: "Such talent is unbelievable, no wonder your teacher wants you to hide your tracks."

  Li Yuan couldn't help but smile.

  The five heavenly bodies, the moves pursue the mysterious operation of heaven and earth in the vastness... cannot be detected from the outside alone... but those with great strength can judge through the power of the move.

  "Previously accumulated seniority, I'm afraid it won't be long before breaking through to level 26." Li Yuan smiled and said.

  "Ah, next time I'll work hard for another ten years and should be able to reach level 27 or higher." Liu Jing nodded, also somewhat spirited.

  Today's hidden injury has recovered and skills have broken through, breaking through decades of bottlenecks, with a natural joy and excitement in my heart.

  Looking at Liu Jing's appearance, Li Yuan also had some feelings in his heart.

  A martial artist like Liu Jing was considered 'excellent' in his youth, but the path of martial arts is still bumpy, and it wasn't until he was over 70 that he entered a state of spiritual subtlety.

  Mind into subtlety, can greatly develop the body's potential.

  But if the age is too old and the physical vitality is not enough, it's very difficult to improve the physical quality as quickly as when you were young, so Liu Jing said that 'ten years' may be able to improve to level 27 or above.

  "Senior."

  "You saved my life, and I used the spiritual medicine to save you, so we're even." Li Yuan said seriously: "But the 20 billion Blue Star Coins you mentioned earlier are probably your accumulation over several decades. You'll still need a lot of resources for your future cultivation...I won't take it."

  The source of the warrior guarding the Mingxu Star Boundary's forward base cannot return to Blue Star.

  But various cultivation materials and resources can be exchanged through the starry interface entrance, and money can be spent.

  Besides, Li Yuan was well aware that ordinary Yuan Wu practitioners would not accumulate much wealth if they did not venture into the Starry Sky. Having a few hundred million was already quite good.

  Even if one survives the turmoil of the starry sky, unless they encounter a rare treasure, it's hard to exceed 1 billion; after all, the various cultivation resources for Yuan Wu practitioners are extremely costly.

  Like Liu Jing, guarding a place like this, the danger level is far beyond that of ordinary yuan wu practitioners, and the money earned must be considerable.

  But after so many years of accumulation, these 200 billion are probably most of it.

  Li Yuan likes money, but can he be at peace with himself after taking away more than half of an elderly predecessor's wealth?

  Li Yuan was hesitant in his heart.

  As a person, there are things he will and won't do, Li Yuan has his own bottom line in mind.

  "Really?" Liu Jing was taken aback.

  "Furthermore." Li Yuan suddenly flipped his palm, and a blue fruit appeared in it. The surface of the fruit occasionally flashed with a layer of silver light, full of mystery and enchantment.

  Too beautiful for words.

  "Is this a Soul Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit?" Liu Jing couldn't help but look at Li Yuan: "Li Yuan, what is this?"

  "Senior, as we agreed earlier, I found 20%." Li Yuan smiled and said: "The treasure hunt afterwards... I'll just swallow my pride, consider it me putting in a bit more effort than you seniors, take two pieces."

  "But this one, Senior must take it no matter what." Li Yuan said.

  No!

  "You don't want my money, but you also want me to give you a Soul Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit? Are you saying that the money I'm offering is too little?" A hint of anger flashed across Liu Jing's face.

  Just like Li Yuan.

  Liu Jing also had his own code of conduct in mind, and he thought Li Yuan was worth giving himself for.

  "Elder." Li Yuan smiled and said: "This Soul-Infused Ancient Spirit Fruit isn't simply for you."

  "You have now reached the state of spiritual subtlety, and if you continue to consume the Spirit Fruit, your mental power will undergo another transformation, and your perception of the harmony between heaven and humanity will greatly increase." Li Yuan said seriously: "If we can achieve unity between heaven and humanity... there is hope for becoming a top-level Source Martial Artist in the future, and the role that can be played in the Ming Xiu Star Domain will be greatly enhanced."

  Liu Jing's heart slightly stirred.

  He wasn't moved by the Soul Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit, but rather by Li Yuan's words 'Unity of Heaven and Man'.

  Indeed, if spiritual power transforms, the hope for a harmonious unity between heaven and humanity in the future will be greatly enhanced.

  All those whose minds enter into subtlety and strength.

  Who doesn't look forward to heaven and man being one?

  "What you said makes sense." Liu Jing looked at Li Yuan, then shook his head and said: "But this way you're at a disadvantage, I won't be able to rest easy in my heart... How about this instead."

  "This Soul-Infused Ancient Spirit Fruit is worth the price I paid, how about 10 billion Blue Star Coins?" Liu Jing said seriously: "You must take this 10 billion Blue Star Coins, no matter what."

  "Otherwise, I will never accept this Soul-Infusing Ancient Spirit Fruit."

  This is Liu Jing's bottom line.

  "Alright." Li Yuan smiled and nodded, no longer refusing, and handed the Soul-Infusing Ancient Spirit Fruit to Liu Jing.

  Ten billion Blue Star Coins?

  If you count the two Soul Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits he had obtained for himself, it would be difficult to estimate their value, and they could only be sold at an auction.

  But the total revenue of this line is probably between 50 billion and 100 billion Blue Star coins... It's indeed exaggerated.

  Has surpassed the wealth accumulation of most mid-tier source cultivators in their lifetime.

  This is fact.

  This is also the reason why countless warriors want to go crazy and rush into the starry sky... Although it's extremely dangerous, as long as they're lucky enough to obtain a heavenly treasure, they can become rich overnight and have no worries for life.

  Like Li Yuan this time being able to obtain the Soul Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit from Fei She Valley, it's due to his actual ability but also luck.

  It's still quite perilous.

  Moreover, although the final gain was great, Li Yuan also lost his life-saving object 'Yuanzi Long Life Dan', and it's hard to calculate the gains and losses.

  "Senior, what should we do now?" Li Yuan asked: "I just gave the base..."

  Quickly.

  Li Yuan told Liu Jing about his entire process of reporting to the base just now.

  "You were right, it was indeed the right thing to do at that time." Liu Jing nodded: "However, now that I've woken up, my strength has not only recovered but also greatly increased... The original plan should be changed accordingly."

  "I'm here to communicate with the base."

  "Good." Li Yuan nodded.

  Liu Jing quickly dialed the base's communication device and someone answered soon after.

  "Hello." A low voice came through the communication.

  "I am Liu Jing, let Han Chong connect the communication." Liu Jing's voice was calm.

  Not long after.

  Liu Jing cut off communication with the base.

  In fact, his communication with the base was very simple, just telling Han Chong that his strength had not only recovered but also broken through.

  Let the local authorities dispatch troops to rush over immediately and apply to the League for support at the same time.

  Li Yuan was listening on the side all along.

  "Senior, it'll take several hours for the first wave of reinforcements from the base to arrive. What should we do now?" Li Yuan asked.

  "What can be done, closed for self-cultivation." Liu Jing smiled and said: "Eat spiritual fruit."

  Li Yuan couldn't help but laugh.

  "Heavenly material and earthly treasure are useless if you just look at them." Liu Jing said seriously, "Only when you eat it into your belly and digest it completely can it exert its sufficient efficacy and value."

  "Is it safe to descend?" Li Yuan nodded: "Senior, I know of a place that's very suitable for closed cultivation, why don't we go together?"

  "Alright." Liu Jing nodded.

  He had already guessed in his heart where Li Yuan was going to take him.

  Whoosh! Whoosh!

  Two people shuttled through the mountains and forests, advancing more than ten kilometers, quickly arriving at the foot of a cliff by a large river.

  Standing in the riverbed, one can vaguely see the caves exposed on the high mountain cliffs.

  It was where Li Yuan had gone into seclusion last time.

  "Come on, senior!" Li Yuan lightly jumped up and quickly climbed up like a monkey.

  Liu Jing followed behind him.

  Two people entered the cave, one in front and one behind, it was still very clean and extremely dry.

  The space here is also big enough.

  Not to mention two people, even dozens of people in the cave will not feel crowded.

  "You're quite good at finding places." Liu Jing smiled and said. He had secretly protected Li Yuan before, and actually knew this place beforehand.

  "It was discovered unintentionally." Li Yuan said with a smile.

  "Then let's take it separately." Liu Jing said, "According to the data, it should take two or three hours to start taking effect. By then, the base team may not be able to catch up."

  "Good." Li Yuan nodded.

  ……

  Li Yuan and Liu Jing each found a place in the cave to sit cross-legged.

  "Concentrate and calm down." Li Yuan gently closed his eyes.

  With a thought, Yuan Li's battle clothes stretched out a black tray in front of his chest, holding up an ancient Soul Nourishing Spirit Fruit.

  According to the data in the Wu Dian database.

  "A single Soul Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit, under normal circumstances, can elevate the spiritual power of an ordinary Source Martial Artist to rival that of a 29th-level top-tier Source Martial Artist." Li Yuan muttered to himself: "But this particular Soul Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit seems even more extraordinary."

  Li Yuan recalled the process of receiving it.

  First was spiritual oppression, later on that ancient soul wood dispersed on its own.

  Everything is explaining that this ancient soul fruit is extraordinary.

  "My spiritual power was already close to level 29."

  "I wonder if this special Soul Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit can raise my spiritual power to the limit of a Source Martial Artist in one go." Li Yuan gently closed his eyes.

  Feitian class? Li Yuan didn't dare think about it.

  Just like the physical boundary breaking through from second-order to third-order is a world of difference, it's a transformation of the essence of life.

  The difference is more than ten times greater than the difference between breaking through from first-order to second-order.

  Same here.

  Mental strength broke through from level 29 to level 30, also a qualitative change.

  According to the Wu Dian database, in the history of human martial arts, those so-called 'spiritual power talents', after becoming a Yuanwu practitioner, their spiritual power will mostly gradually increase to level 29. Li Yuan said quietly: "But for them to raise their spiritual power to level 30 is extremely difficult, not much easier than normal top-level Yuanwu practitioners."

  One sentence.

  Want to get your spiritual power to level 30? Normally, you must first upgrade your life level to 30 and then use a strong body to nourish the soul in order to transform your spiritual power.

  So Li Yuan just hopes that after swallowing the Lingguo, his spiritual power can directly soar to 29.9 levels.

  Later, use "Mahavairocana Sutra" to slowly grind and strive to break through level 30.

  After a long time, Li Yuan's heart finally calmed down completely, and he even subtly entered a special state of unity with nature.

  "Gurgle"

  Li Yuan picked up the Yuanshen ancient spirit fruit, which was slightly smaller than his fist. He put it in his mouth and it dissolved instantly... In an instant, it turned into a liquid that flowed into Li Yuan's throat.

  Very refreshing.

  Hehe~ Hehe~

  Li Yuan looked inward and clearly felt that the liquid transformed from the Soul Nourishing Ancient Spirit Fruit had not yet entered his stomach, but had already turned into a stream of strange powers merging into his flesh and blood.

  Whoosh! This strange power surged through his chest and neck, swiftly flowing into his brain.

  Soul, located in the spiritual world of the brain.

  "It's so hot." Li Yuan closed his eyes tightly, only to feel a slight burning sensation in his head, and a bit of dizziness... but that strange power had already merged into his spiritual world.

  Merging into Li Yuan's consciousness body.

  Wow!

  Li Yuan's consciousness could clearly feel the influx of this strange power, rapidly transforming into spiritual power... his soul power was constantly soaring.

  It's as if someone is devouring meat with big mouthfuls, and every time he takes a bite of the meat, it will be consumed instantly, and then directly converted into muscles all over his body.

  The conversion efficiency is astonishing.

  "【Your mental strength has been upgraded from 28.4 to 28.5】" A prompt from the Temple of Mind flashed by.

  "With just this small gathering, his spiritual power has increased by 0.1 levels?" Li Yuan was shocked in his heart.

  Hehe~ Hehe~

  The power consumed by the Soul Ancient Spirit Fruit is only a tiny part of it, and it continues to frantically transform.

  Compared with Li Yuan's usual cultivation of visualization techniques, his spiritual power grew at a rate more than a hundred times faster.

  "Your mental power is at level 28.5..."

  "【Your mental strength is at level 28.8...】" Accompanied by the passage of time, a series of divine palace prompts flashed by.
