Chapter 420: The Wonderful Use of Little Three Harmonies

Inside the simulated construction site, Director Gao sat cross-legged in mid-air, his black Daoist robe fluttering in the wind. The four characters "Construction World" on his chest shimmered with a faint glow.

He looked at Zhang Yu, a look of approval on his face, and said, "In your sophomore year, you've performed exceptionally well in both your studies and your work."

"Especially during your business trips, your performance was excellent and understated."

Zhang Yu replied, "It's all thanks to the opportunities you've given me, Master."

Director Gao continued, "Opportunities are earned, not given. Back when Ten Thousand Laws University was just starting up, if I hadn't seized the chance to be a teacher, I might still be working on a construction site now!"

"Of course, there's nothing wrong with construction sites. It's just that the university offers me greater horizons!"

Zhang Yu nodded slightly, continuing to listen attentively to Director Gao's teachings.

Director Gao went on, "Sometimes I think, on this path of immortality, how much money is ever enough? It's never enough, Zhang Yu. Spirit coins are never enough to spend."

"You're still young, and you've only just reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Your current achievements are merely your starting point!"

"Stay calm and continue to earn money steadily. At least earn another 1,000 spirit coins. Given the current market… 1,000 spirit coins should be enough to last you until the Golden Core stage!"

Listening to Director Gao's guidance, Zhang Yu repeatedly affirmed.

Seeing Zhang Yu's obedient and humble demeanor, showing no arrogance despite his excellent achievements, Director Gao nodded in satisfaction.

He had seen too many students become conceited after achieving success, losing their grounding. That's why he took this opportunity to give Zhang Yu some advice.

Director Gao continued, "Speaking of earning money steadily, 'steadily' is more important than 'earning money'."

"Some people might become rich overnight, but if their cultivation and realm can't control that wealth, they'll lose it sooner or later!"

"Don't be like them!"

"Although I am the director and you are a student, I need to understand my place, and you need to understand yours. Never think about earning money you can't control. Even if that kind of money enters your account, it's not truly yours; it's just temporarily placed with you by someone else!"

Zhang Yu's heart stirred again, and he thought to himself, "Is Director Gao talking about Ping Han? Is he worried I'll follow Ping Han into currency speculation?"

Director Gao was indeed planning to warn Zhang Yu, lest he also follow Ping Han into currency speculation.

"In the upcoming military certificate exam in October, if Ping Han hasn't lost money, he'll likely secure the military certificate!"

"At that time, even more people might want to imitate Ping Han's currency speculation!"

Director Gao glanced at Zhang Yu in front of him and thought, "I need to give this kid more preventative warnings so he doesn't get carried away and start speculating himself!"

After giving Zhang Yu some pointers, Director Gao casually asked about a few other things.

"How are you finding the Golden Silk Jade Wall?"

"Are you still in contact with Wen Wuya?"

"As for the Pharmacology Department, if you get the chance, try to make a few more sales. You can also recommend it to others in the department! Our Civil Engineering Department has many students who can sell seeds!"

As he spoke, Director Gao also sent Zhang Yu the usage rights for the cultivation technique he was going to teach today.

"The third profound technique of the Seven Civil Engineering Marvels is called 'Earth Manipulation Divine Transformation'!"

"This martial art involves sensing the Earth's energy, using one's own magical power to activate the Earth's dynamics, and combining it with martial arts moves to achieve the effect of earth manipulation!"

"However, this technique, positioned as the third profound skill, has become the foundation for activating the 'Lesser Triad'."

"Once ordinary students master it, they rarely use it in isolation!"

Director Gao then summarized the key points of the Lesser Triad, which he considered the crucial part of today's lesson.

"The esteemed master who created the 'Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power' was an ancient genius!"

"He didn't actually create the Seven Civil Engineering Marvels; rather, with a single move, he created the 'Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power' technique!"

"However, later generations of disciples found this technique too profound and difficult to teach and learn. After much contemplation, they divided it into five parts! By practicing these five slightly simpler techniques, one could eventually naturally master the 'Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power'!"

"Later still, to allow even Foundation Establishment disciples to cultivate this technique, someone further divided the most difficult of these five techniques into three parts: the 'Profound Yellow Mountain Suppressing Seal', the 'Great Wilderness Mountain Moving Force', and this 'Earth Manipulation Divine Transformation'!"

Director Gao sighed at this point, saying, "It's precisely because the 'Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power' was broken down into simpler and simpler parts that, for a period, more and more people began to cultivate it!"

"With numerous cultivators innovating over generations, this technique has kept pace with the times, its power growing daily, and it remains a military-grade martial art to this day!"

"Unlike many supreme martial arts of the past, which were either gradually phased out because too few successors maintained their power to keep up with the times, or their thresholds were too high, too difficult to cultivate, and were eventually abandoned due to lack of cost-effectiveness, becoming museum exhibits!"

After his reflection, Director Gao proceeded to teach Zhang Yu the cultivation method for the Earth Manipulation Divine Transformation.

Over an hour later, seeing Zhang Yu strike out with a palm, his magical power and the Earth's energy resonated, causing a patch of mud and sand to rise. Director Gao nodded with satisfaction.

Zhang Yu's talent for martial arts had not disappointed him today. What pleased him even more was that after mastering the technique, Zhang Yu remained calm and humble, showing no hint of arrogance.

"Alas, if only Ping Han had Zhang Yu's composure, things wouldn't be like this!"

Director Gao spoke, "You've already mastered the first level of 'Earth Manipulation Divine Transformation'. Next, I'll teach you the method of the Lesser Triad!"

Following Director Gao's instructions, Zhang Yu circulated his internal magical power. Moments later, he felt the cultivation routes of the 'Profound Yellow Mountain Suppressing Seal', 'Great Wilderness Mountain Moving Force', and 'Earth Manipulation Divine Transformation' perfectly combining.

As he simultaneously channeled the power of these three techniques, a surge of majestic magical power condensed from his dantian, drawing forth a terrifying force from between heaven and earth!

But the next moment, the power of the three techniques revealed a sense of incompleteness. The terrifying force between heaven and earth merely trembled slightly before completely losing connection with Zhang Yu.

Only the earth beneath Zhang Yu, as he clapped his hands together, caused a pair of giant hands formed from mud and sand to rise and merge before him!

"That terrifying force between heaven and earth must be the Earthly Fiend Gravity, right?"

"It's the power that can only be truly activated after mastering the 'Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power'!"

"The Lesser Triad, however, can only control the earth beneath one's feet, manipulating the metals and minerals within it!"

Through Director Gao's instruction, Zhang Yu also understood that the power of the Lesser Triad depended entirely on the level of the three cultivation techniques.

For instance, although he had cultivated the 'Profound Yellow Mountain Suppressing Seal' and the 'Great Wilderness Mountain Moving Force' to level 20, his 'Earth Manipulation Divine Transformation' was only level 1. Thus, the Lesser Triad could only exert power equivalent to level 13.4!

"To increase the power of the Lesser Triad, I still need to raise the level of 'Earth Manipulation Divine Transformation'!"

"However, beyond just levels, how much effect the Lesser Triad can exert... is also greatly related to how it's used!"

The next moment, as Zhang Yu circulated his magical power and changed his hand seals, the ground beneath his feet undulated like ocean waves!

An earth giant, eight or nine meters tall, burst forth from the ground, spreading its arms as if letting out a silent roar!

Then Zhang Yu exhaled, and the golden true qi, formed from the Taiyi Golden Liquid Pill, blew towards the earth giant, instantly transforming into a hammer and a shovel in the giant's hands!
