You dare to cultivate without money?!-Chapter 329 - 280: Foundation Establishment Stage Guidance

Within the 200th layer teaching zone.

Zhang Yu sat below the stage, listening to Feng Jiu’s lecture, and found that this teacher always gave him a feeling of... hastily completing a task.

The lecture process felt like reading a script, with zero interaction with the students throughout.

Just heard Feng Jiu say: "...The Dao Heart is the essence of the Immortal Path; the higher the realm, the more important the Dao Heart becomes."

"If the Dao Heart cannot keep up with the cultivation, at best, power goes out of control; at worst, one may suffer a backlash, even a counterattack from magic remains..."

As she spoke, a series of images of cultivators suffering backlashes appeared.

Some with distorted thinking going on killing sprees, some whose spirit roots exploded, transforming into flora, and others being attacked by their own magic remains, mana explosions... these images kept appearing.

After emphasizing the consequences of an insufficient Dao Heart, Feng Jiu continued: "After reaching Foundation Establishment, the Dao Heart’s upper limit increases to Level 20, and during this period, the Dao Heart becomes increasingly useful as it grows."

"For example, after reaching Level 15 Dao Heart, one can choose a second mental method, attempting parallel operation, and thereafter can operate two mental methods simultaneously."

"However, the greater the conflict between the two mental methods, the poorer the effect of parallel operation, even leading to backlash and soul splitting."

Zhang Yu knew that backlash was a general term, encompassing uncontrolled mana explosion, soul splitting, turning insane, magic remains counterattack... all of which could be grouped under it.

But listening to Feng Jiu’s words today, he suddenly felt that after entering the Foundation Establishment Realm, the types of backlashes increased, and the risk seemed higher.

Feng Jiu continued: "Because the consequences of mental method conflict are severe, you can prepare early, make choices early before reaching Level 15 Dao Heart, and best choose mental methods that complement each other."

As she spoke, the surrounding light flashed, revealing a webpage.

Just heard Feng Jiu introduce: "Everyone, record this webpage. It’s the Spirit Realm address of Hammer Heart Inn; it can help you test in the Spirit Realm. It only takes 1 spirit coin to find the mental method most compatible with you, and another 1 spirit coin to find the most matching second mental method."

"Also, after reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, the operation of mental methods reaches a higher state."

"24-hour operation is just basic; achieving half-instinct, or even complete instinct where spirit and body are united, is the true constant operation."

"Even when losing consciousness, one can still maintain a glimmer in the sea of consciousness, keeping continuous operation of the mental method."

"To achieve this, apart from continuous hard practice, grinding it out little by little, there are other ways."

"For instance, Hammer Heart Inn currently offers a spirit-body unity journey, 30 spirit coins for a complete package, refundable if unsuccessful..."

Thus, Feng Jiu continued methodically, without asking questions or interacting, and exactly on the first second after class ended, the entire Phoenix projection disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Deep in the Spirit Realm, a young girl watched the returning Phoenix and said: "Not bad, no one recognized you as the artifact spirit, right? In the future, you can teach the class for me; it won’t interfere with my work."

...

In the Mana class.

Mana teacher Li Mingbo came into the classroom, glanced at everyone, and said with a smile: "Dear students, this is our first meeting today. Before we start the formal class, why don’t we get to know each other a bit?"

"Compared to cold data, I prefer face-to-face communication."

"I am Li Mingbo, and I may be teaching you the Mana class for the next year or two."

Looking at this teacher, gentle in smile and tone, Zhang Yu was slightly surprised: "There are such kind teachers in the university city? They actually want to know us?"

Zhang Yu felt that Li Mingbo was quite opposite to Feng Jiu just now, like heaven and earth.

Li Mingbo looked at Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan in the front row, smiling and asked: "What are your names, and where are you from?"

"My name is Zhang Yu, from Songyang City on the first layer."

"His name is Yu Xinghan, also from the first layer..."

Li Mingbo said blandly: "You two... move back."

"Move back further."

"Move back another row."

"There, sit there."

He turned his head to Gongshu Jin on the other side: "And you, student?"

"Gongshu Jin, stay in the front row."

"Ying Xin, move forward two rows."

"Ji Yuanshu, student, come to the very front..."

"In my future classes, sit according to these positions."

With Li Mingbo’s adjustments, the seats in the classroom became orderly, with higher level students sitting in front and lower level students in the back, Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan ended up in the last row.

Damn it... Zhang Yu cursed inwardly, how could he have had such naive thoughts about Kunxu people just now?

In the classroom, Li Mingbo spoke eloquently: "After Foundation Establishment, mana limits increase dramatically, with higher Dao Heart, a stronger physical body, and more cultivation techniques supporting it, mana begins to have differences in quality."

"The higher the mana quality, the greater the power, the better the effect..."

Zhang Yu nodded repeatedly, during the Qi Refinement Realm, he could sense that his mana quality was higher than many, but the difference was very subtle.

After entering the Foundation Establishment Stage, the gap in mana quality widened significantly, even became vastly different.

To differentiate mana quality, from the lowest quality of 100% to the highest quality of Foundation Establishment Stage at 200%, represent the mana quality.

With the quality difference, a mana of 200% quality can rival two of 100% quality mana.

Only saw Li Mingbo’s brow shimmering like a wave, as a circular mirror emerged: "Next, let’s test your mana quality."
