What’s the point of cultivating immortality if you don’t have money?

Zhou Tian Qi Gathering Method finally reached level 10. Zhang Yu then planned to switch the specialization of his Feather Book and choose another cultivation method to upgrade.

After deciding not to sign a contract with the student council and resolving to break through the encirclement to get into the top ten universities, Zhang Yu also understood a few things.

First, without the student council's investment, the resources he had would inevitably be more limited.

And to get into the top ten, the pressure he would face in the future would only be much greater than it is now.

With more limited resources, yet heavier pressure.

Therefore, Zhang Yu had to carefully plan and utilize the resources at hand to develop faster and better in a unit of time.

To achieve this, he had to maximize his strengths—absolute self-discipline and amazing potential.

In simple terms, it meant practicing stronger and more difficult cultivation methods.

For Zhang Yu, the owner of the Feather Book, of course, the stronger the cultivation method he learned, the better the effect.

It's like one Zhang Yu diligently practicing the Great Desolation Imprisoning Sky Finger, and another Zhang Yu diligently practicing the Basic Long Palm. Just by hearing the names, you know which one has potential.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "...But this is not something that can be done casually."

The more powerful the cultivation method, the higher the threshold.

It's like even a dog can learn the doggy paddle, but not everyone can learn synchronized swimming.

Among the expert-level cultivation methods, such as the Heavenly Martial Heart Refining Art in Zhang Yu's hands, he has not yet reached the level 3 Dao Heart requirement.

Therefore, if you want to practice powerful cultivation methods, the primary condition is to meet the threshold of these cultivation methods as much as possible.

Zhang Yu's eyes swept across the phone screen, looking at the requirements for cultivators proposed by the powerful cultivation methods above...

"Dao Heart! Mana!"

Just like high school teachers often say, Dao Heart and Mana are the foundations of immortal cultivation.

Dao Heart level represents the cultivator's control and bearing capacity of immortal power.

Mana is the most basic force to promote all kinds of cultivation methods.

The thresholds of most powerful cultivation methods are also related to Dao Heart and Mana.

So if you want to practice powerful cultivation methods, you must have a high enough Dao Heart and Mana.

"In terms of Mana, I now have the level 10 Zhou Tian Qi Gathering Method, which is equivalent to breathing in spiritual energy and refining Mana all the time."

"On the contrary, the Dao Heart level has been neglected by me during this period."

Zhang Yu looked at his savings. After a new round of rent, water and electricity, and food and other miscellaneous expenses during this period, he currently had more than 62,000 left.

Even if all the money was used to improve Mana, it would only rent a Heavenly Spiritual Root for more than ten hours, just like going to an internet cafe for an overnight stay, it would be gone in a blink of an eye, and the improvement would be extremely limited.

So after thinking about it these days, Zhang Yu still felt that he should buy a stronger mental cultivation method to improve his Dao Heart to level 3 as soon as possible, and then switch to the Heavenly Martial Heart Refining Art to further accelerate the improvement of his Dao Heart.

After all, the Dao Heart level in the Qi training stage ranges from level 1 to the highest level 10, similar to Mana from 1 to 100.

It will take a long time to improve the Dao Heart level to level 3. If there is a mental cultivation method that is stronger and more suitable for him than the Basic Heart Refining Method, it can save a lot of time.

After the Dao Heart level and Mana are both improved, and then practicing stronger cultivation methods, this is currently a faster and more cost-effective route for development.

Zhang Yu had already searched and thought a lot about what kind of mental cultivation method to buy these days.

Basic level, advanced level, expert level...

Among the mental cultivation methods that Zhang Yu can currently buy, the basic level is the cheapest, but it is not very helpful to him.

Although the expert level is powerful, it is not only expensive, but also has a high cultivation threshold, which is not suitable for him at the moment.

On the contrary, the advanced-level mental cultivation method seems quite useless to most students who have been in high school for four months, but it is just right for Zhang Yu.

In terms of effect, the first year of high school is the time to lay the foundation, and the several basic cultivation methods promoted by high schools are researched and developed by the top ten sects, which are the most neutral and peaceful, and have the best effect on laying the foundation.

At this time, learning an additional advanced-level mental cultivation method is laborious and may not be as good as focusing on improving a basic mental cultivation method.

So even wealthy students often focus on the basics in the first year of high school, and only exert their strength in the second year, learning various expensive mental cultivation methods.

This is also one of the reasons why the grades of the rich kids in Songyang High School often only widen the gap with the poor in the second year, while the poor geniuses start to decline in the rankings in the second year.

In terms of price, although advanced-level cultivation methods are much cheaper than expert-level cultivation methods, the subsequent costs are still not small.

After all, it is too difficult to learn cultivation methods on your own. For most people, it is not like you can just learn by giving you a secret book. You often need to ask a teacher for guidance.

An advanced-level mental cultivation method may only cost a few hundred or a few thousand, but the subsequent teaching, classes, guidance... the tutoring fees may cost tens of thousands.

This reminds Zhang Yu of some games in his previous life. The main body is free, but all kinds of props and characters cost thousands or tens of thousands to recharge.

But these two points are very suitable for Zhang Yu.

Tutoring? That doesn't exist.

I, Zhang Yu, can still practice magical skills with my peerless talent by relying on myself.

Opening the favorites column of the shopping website, Zhang Yu looked at a mental cultivation method he had chosen.

Advanced-level cultivation method, Barren Bull Soul Suppression Heart Technique.

Just looking at the name, it seems to be a powerful, overbearing, and awe-inspiring mental cultivation method.

But taking a closer look, you will find that the thinking required to match the Barren Bull Soul Suppression Heart Technique is a state of diligence, hard work, and willingness to endure hardship, like an old bull reclaiming wasteland.

What is particularly important is that the strongest state of this mental cultivation method requires the cooperation of another person, a role that can constantly force and suppress the practitioner, and constantly assign tasks to the practitioner, such as a leader or a boss.

The more orders are given, the more severe the coercion, and the longer the working hours, the stronger the effect of the Barren Bull Soul Suppression Heart Technique.

The Barren Bull Soul Suppression Heart Technique has been selected as the best construction site mental cultivation method for ten consecutive years and is the most popular mental cultivation method among bosses.

It is also a bull-horse mental cultivation method with a user rating that is consistently below 1.2 points.

Zhang Yu looked at the user reviews.

One star

The company requires me to learn it, it's really useful.

One star

Five-star praise is given in installments.

One star

I was hung up by the stupid boss again today.

After casually scanning a few glances, Zhang Yu felt a strong resentment coming towards him. Obviously, most of the practitioners of this bull-horse mental cultivation method were forced to practice, and they all seemed to be very compliant with the requirements of the mental cultivation method.

Zhang Yu looked at the specific configuration requirements of the cultivation method again.

Recommended configuration:

1 Be forced to work more than 18 hours a day

Zhang Yu thought for a while, he seemed to be forced by the power of the ritual for 24 hours, so it met the requirements.

He looked at the next one.

2 The means of coercion should at least be verbal oppression. It is best to have salary threats. The more severe the oppression, the better the effect.

Zhang Yu thought for a while, he should be threatened with death now, and it also met the requirements.

"This bull-horse mental cultivation method is indeed very suitable for my current state, and the key is the price..."

Zhang Yu looked at the Barren Bull Soul Suppression Heart Technique. The current price for the right to use it is only 588 yuan.

This is one of the lowest-priced advanced-level cultivation methods Zhang Yu has ever seen.

However, because if you want to get started, the practitioner also needs a 'boss' to cooperate, so it also recommends a guidance service priced at 1,000 per day.

Most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

After all, many jobs require this mental cultivation method to be hired, but many people have to find a job and have a boss before they can practice this mental cultivation method.

So in order to solve this job-seeking dilemma, the platform specially launched a paid guidance service.

Is it to hire a boss for yourself by spending money?

Zhang Yu cursed inwardly, knowing that he certainly didn't need this. He had something that forced him 24 hours a day at any time.

It can be said that this Barren Bull Soul Suppression Heart Technique, regardless of the effect, price, or configuration... is an extremely suitable mental cultivation method for Zhang Yu's current state.

588 can't be a loss, can't be fooled, even if you find that your thinking can't adapt, the loss is not big.

The only thing that made Zhang Yu feel uncomfortable was the connotation of this cultivation method.

But at this moment, he is no longer the Zhang Yu he was when he first traveled through. Facing the harsh environment of Kunxu and the repeated coercion of the ritual power, he has learned to adjust his mentality and thinking to adapt to the environment.

Zhang Yu took a deep breath and thought, "Bull-horse is bull-horse. The situation forces people to be strong."

"Be cowardly when you should be cowardly, and be a bull-horse for a while first."

"With my potential, even if I am a bull-horse and accumulate silently, there will always be a day to make a hole in the sky."

Zhang Yu knew very well that he was not willing to be a bull-horse when he practiced the bull-horse mental cultivation method, but a temporary accumulation for a better future.

Place an order, pay, and receive the goods.

In the blink of an eye, he received an electronic version of the mental cultivation method.

After reading it carefully, a new cultivation method appeared on the Feather Book.

Barren Bull Soul Suppression Heart Technique 0 (0/1, 1/1 Dao Heart)

Zhang Yu sat cross-legged and began to practice this mental cultivation method.

He emptied his mind, tried to keep his spirits calm, and began to construct the mind-guarding diagram of this cultivation method in his mind.

That was a picture of an old bull lowering its head and silently reclaiming wasteland.

But after Zhang Yu constructed it for a while, he always felt something was wrong.

Suddenly he remembered something, and quickly stopped practicing, sitting blankly in place.

After a while, a chill surged from his heart, and a countdown sounded in his mind.

This time, Zhang Yu practiced this Barren Bull Soul Suppression Heart Technique again, and suddenly felt right.

A few minutes later, a picture of an old bull lowering its head and silently reclaiming wasteland had been outlined in his mind.

At this moment, he seemed to have turned into a silently working, hardworking, and complaint-free bull. The unhappiness in his heart had been resolved a lot.

As he completed this mind-guarding diagram, many memories of practicing the Barren Bull Soul Suppression Heart Technique seemed to appear out of thin air in his mind, allowing him to master this mental cultivation method in an instant.

Barren Bull Soul Suppression Heart Technique Level 1 (0/3)

"As long as you practice it 3 times, you can upgrade it?"

Zhang Yu didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a while: "Is it because this cultivation method is compatible enough with my current state?"

So after waiting for a while, after the countdown in his mind sounded, Zhang Yu practiced this Barren Bull Soul Suppression Heart Technique again, and began to outline the mind-guarding diagram of the old bull reclaiming wasteland in his mind.

After practicing it back and forth for 3 times, about ten minutes later, Zhang Yu felt a movement in his spirit, and his understanding of the Barren Bull Soul Suppression Heart Technique deepened again. The mind-guarding diagram he outlined in his mind became clearer and more vivid.

Barren Bull Soul Suppression Heart Technique Level 2 (0/6)

Especially after the Barren Bull Soul Suppression Heart Technique was upgraded to level 2, he felt that cultivation was not so boring and not so unbearable.

"Is this the effect of the Barren Bull Soul Suppression Heart Technique? It can make people less afraid of hardship and more able to work hard..."

It was not until Zhang Yu stopped the operation of this mental cultivation method that he felt all kinds of fatigue, boredom, and lazy thoughts surging into his heart again.

A moment later, after waiting for the arrival of the ritual power, Zhang Yu ran the Barren Bull Soul Suppression Heart Technique again, and the distracting thoughts of impetuosity and escape in his heart were swept away in an instant, allowing him to start cultivating steadily.

"This cultivation method... doesn't seem as bad as I thought."

He suddenly remembered a sentence said by the founder of this cultivation method, who called himself the Barren Bull Great Sage, in the preface.

"May the people of the world face difficulties with less mental suffering and more hope."

He suddenly had an idea in his heart: "Maybe the person who created this cultivation method did not regard it as a bull-horse mental cultivation method."

In the blink of an eye, nearly half an hour passed, Zhang Yu took a deep breath and felt a tremor in his sea of consciousness. His Barren Bull Soul Suppression Heart Technique had been upgraded to level 3 (0/9).

After cultivating for a while, he felt that both his mana and physical strength suddenly became as easy to control and sense as his arms.

"My Dao Heart level has been raised to level 2."

Although Zhang Yu originally felt that his Dao Heart level should be upgraded soon, he couldn't help but sigh at this moment... his brave and rapid progress after practicing the Barren Bull Soul Suppression Heart Technique.

This cultivation method is indeed very compatible with his current state.

"Then continue to be a bull-horse. As long as the reward is enough, being a bull-horse is nothing."

So next, Zhang Yu immersed himself in the practice of the Barren Bull Soul Suppression Heart Technique again. As this cultivation method was running, he seemed to feel less and less of the boredom and hardship of cultivation, but instead, a sense of accumulated satisfaction surged in his heart.

It's like an old bull diligently reclaiming wasteland, watching the sense of accomplishment of more and more fertile soil under its feet.
