Chapter 36: Source Power Elixir

"AI based on big data is indeed extraordinary," Li Yuan thought.

However, this plan was very costly.

"If I follow the entire plan provided by the intelligent system, I will have to spend about 400,000 Blue Star Coins/points per month," Li Yuan calculated, feeling a bit overwhelmed. "That\'s nearly 5 million a year."

The Blue Star Coins and points gifted by the Martial Hall amounted to a total of 3 million per year.

At this moment, Li Yuan truly understood his uncle Li Changzhou\'s words.

Full-time martial arts?

No money? What martial arts?

Becoming a powerful martial artist requires a significant financial investment.

"I haven\'t even become an entry-level martial artist yet. Once I do, the expenses will only increase," Li Yuan thought, shaking his head slightly.

Of course, Li Yuan also understood that the cultivation plan provided by the intelligent system was of the highest caliber. It was designed to maximize efficiency in improving physical fitness, martial arts skills, and mental strength.

Improving in all three areas would greatly increase his chances of becoming a source martial artist in the future.

However, the expenses were enormous.

Even a wealthy family like Wan Xiao\'s might only dare to spend this much during the final year of high school.

"Lin Lanyue\'s family background seems even better than Wan Xiao\'s, so perhaps she has access to this level of resources," Li Yuan thought. "No wonder her progress far surpasses that of other classmates."

Good talent, hard work, and ample resources.

How could ordinary people compare to Lin Lanyue?

"My advantage lies in the Divine Palace," Li Yuan thought. "With the \'Great Sun Star Scripture,\' I can not only quickly improve my mental strength but also achieve deep sleep, eliminating all fatigue, comparable to the highest level of therapy."

The rapid improvement in Li Yuan\'s physical fitness was largely due to the \'Great Sun Star Scripture.\'

"So, spirit-nourishing potions and top-level physical therapy can be excluded," Li Yuan decided.

While using them might increase training efficiency, Li Yuan had to be economical.

"Being poor means choosing the most cost-effective method."

Li Yuan scanned the other items on the list: "This way, the main expenses will be threefold: improving physical fitness with basic qi and blood potions and source power elixirs."

"The second item is deep medicinal baths."

"The third is practical combat training, with a level 15 martial artist twice a week, costing 20,000 Blue Star Coins per week," Li Yuan thought.

Adding it all up, it would cost about 240,000 Blue Star Coins/points per month.

This way, the total cost until the college entrance exam in June next year would be around 2 million Blue Star Coins/points.

"The next gift from the Martial Hall will be in October next year," Li Yuan thought. "Besides, I need to save some points for after I become an entry-level martial artist."

After entering university, there would be many cultivation resources available, but that was still uncertain.

Li Yuan had to plan carefully.

"As for the cultivation points, for spear techniques, movement techniques, and master guidance, I\'ll ask Teacher Xu Bo when I return to school," Li Yuan decided.

Time passed.

Suddenly, Li Yuan received two bank notifications, displayed directly in the virtual network.

"Your account ending in 1486 has received 1,000,000.00 Blue Star Coins..."

"Your account ending in 1486 has received 1,200,000.00 Blue Star Coins..."

Two deposit notifications.

"Hmm? Two sums of money. One should be the gift from Hall Master Wan, and the other should be the contract reward from the Martial Hall," Li Yuan wondered. "But why is the contract reward 1.2 million Blue Star Coins?"

"Is there an extra 300,000 Blue Star Coins that will be sent to me later?"

Li Yuan was about to ask Little Jade.

"Master, the cash reward from the Martial Hall has been credited. According to the contract, all contract rewards for the 2042-2043 year have been fully credited," Little Jade said proactively.

"Why is the contract reward short by 300,000 Blue Star Coins?" Li Yuan couldn\'t help but ask.

"Taxes!"

"This kind of contract reward from the Martial Hall is handled through a public account, under national supervision, and must be taxed. The Martial Hall has paid the taxes on your behalf. You can check the virtual tax space for details," Little Jade explained immediately. "Normally, for large amounts of income exceeding 1 million, the excess portion is taxed at a maximum rate of 50% personal income tax."

"But contract rewards are considered special income, and the state offers tax exemptions, so only 20% is deducted."

"Reminder, Master, tax evasion is illegal. If caught, the fines start at ten times the amount evaded."

Little Jade said with a cheeky smile, "But don\'t worry, Master. The other 1 million Blue Star Coins are a personal gift and are not subject to tax."

"As for points and cultivation points, they are distributed internally by the Martial Hall and are accounted for and taxed by the hall, so you don\'t have to worry about it."

Li Yuan was stunned.

Taxes?

300,000 Blue Star Coins? Just like that? Li Yuan felt a pang of pain.

After a moment of silence.

"Well, it\'s right to pay taxes," Li Yuan consoled himself. "The state needs money for the star realm war, infrastructure, education, and public welfare. Paying taxes is every citizen\'s duty."

From a young age, Li Yuan had received such education.

In the past, it was just a slogan, but now he truly understood it.

"I\'ll try to use points for cultivation."

"Cash is always more versatile," Li Yuan thought, with a hint of anticipation. "Besides, I should give some cash to Auntie."

After all this hard work, isn\'t it for today?

Easing the family\'s financial burden had always been one of Li Yuan\'s motivations.

Li Yuan didn\'t stay at Starlight Martial Hall for long. By around 4 p.m., he had returned to school.

He found Xu Bo in the office.

"Back so soon?" Xu Bo was a bit surprised, smiling. "How was it?"

"The Martial Hall is excellent," Li Yuan said sincerely.

"The Martial Hall\'s cultivation conditions are always top-notch," Xu Bo smiled. "You came back so quickly to see me. Is there something you need?"

"Yes."

"I\'d like some guidance from you," Li Yuan said respectfully and quickly explained the cultivation plan provided by the intelligent system.

"The intelligent AI has given you a very comprehensive cultivation plan, but it\'s very costly. With limited resources, you need to choose the most cost-effective items," Xu Bo said. "I\'ll only mention two points."

"Please, Teacher," Li Yuan listened intently.

"First, try to get the basic Source Power Elixir," Xu Bo said seriously.

"The plan suggests taking one a month, but it\'s best to adjust according to your body\'s tolerance... If your body can handle it, taking two a month is ideal."

"The basic Source Power Elixir is expensive, costing 100,000 Blue Star Coins per pill," Xu Bo said, looking at Li Yuan. "But its effects are excellent."

"You haven\'t awakened martial arts spirituality and can\'t practice high-level cultivation methods. Taking the Source Power Elixir can greatly compensate for this shortcoming."

"Your physical talent is already impressive."

"If the effects are good enough."

"By the time of the college entrance exam, your physical fitness might reach 8.5 or even 9.0, surpassing Lin Lanyue," Xu Bo said seriously.

Li Yuan\'s eyes lit up, feeling excited but also pressured.

Despite becoming a millionaire, why did he feel poorer than ever?
