Chapter 105: Chapter 91 Star Mist Pool Chapter 105: Chapter 91 Star Mist Pool “Having covered the obligations of being a Star Card Master, next, I will introduce the core ‘Credit System’ that is closely related to all of you and every academy.”
He Yanan looked at the crowd below and said, “In order to promote student growth, all Star Power Academies within the Great Flame Country have a reward and punishment system centered around academic points.
With academic points, you can redeem various cultivation resources owned by the academy, including but not limited to Star Cards, Star Devices, intelligence, materials, and so on…
Apart from these, the most important thing is the Star Mist Pool!”
“Star Mist Pool?”
Upon hearing this term, the crowd showed some confusion, but people like Ye Qing and Xia Yue had their eyes lit up, indicating that they seemed to understand.
He Yanan continued, “You all live in the Southern First Garden, so you must have experienced the effect of the Soul-binding Divine Tree to some extent, right?
The Soul-binding Divine Tree, as an extremely rare Fourth-level Spirit Plant, just growing there can gather Heaven and Earth Star Power, increasing the surrounding Star Power concentration.
The function of the Star Mist Pool is similar to the Soul-binding Divine Tree, but it is much more powerful.
It is created with rare materials, driven by multiple layered Gathering Spirit Barriers, and uses Star Stones as the energy core to form a cultivation environment with ultra-high Star Power concentration.”
An ultra-high Star Power concentration cultivation environment?
The eyes of the crowd brightened upon hearing this.
Over the past few days, everyone had cultivated beside the Soul-binding Divine Tree and noticed a visible increase in cultivation speed even with just three to four times the usual concentration.
And this Star Mist Pool is actually even more powerful than the Soul-binding Divine Tree?
“Teacher He, do you know how much the Star Power concentration of the Star Mist Pool can be increased by?” Zhang Tai asked impatiently.
He Yanan slowly extended three fingers.
“Three times?”
Everyone was slightly surprised.
To increase the Star Power concentration by three times; wouldn’t that make cultivation take off directly?
“No.” He Yanan’s lips curved into a smile.
“Not three times, thirty times!”
“Thirty times?!” The crowd was all shocked beyond belief.
Thirty times the Star Power concentration?!
What kind of concept is that?
That’s not taking off; that’s like sitting in a rocket!
Sitting near He Yanan, Du Tao swallowed his saliva and asked with a trembling voice, “Teacher He, are you sure you aren’t mistaken?”
“Of course not.”
He Yanan, as if anticipating this reaction, began to explain,
“According to the standards set by the Education Bureau, the upper limit for the Star Mist Pool in a general second-tier academy is ten times the Star Power concentration.
For first-tier academies in the Twelve States, the upper limit is twenty times the Star Power concentration.
In the Four Extremes Academies to the east, west, south, and north, the upper limit is twenty-four times the Star Power concentration.
Only at our Three Capitals Academy can the Star Mist Pool reach the highest specification of thirty times.
Not only is it sufficient for the lower three levels, but it’s also more than adequate for levels like the Sun-Moon Star Level!”
Seeing that He Yanan didn’t seem to be joking, everyone couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
“Of course, that’s only the theoretical upper limit.
There are actually some restrictions on using the Star Mist Pool for cultivation.
First, to enhance students’ cultivation effects and avoid wasting Star Stones, the Star Mist Pool subjects students’ physical bodies to considerable additional pressure to help them absorb and refine the high-concentration Star Power in the pool.
Therefore, in the Star Mist Pool, a Bronze Level student can generally only open up to three times the Star Power concentration, a Silver Stage student up to six times, and a Gold Level student up to ten times.
This is why the upper limit for the Star Mist Pool in second-tier Spiritual Institutes is only designed to be ten times because the resources needed to build a Star Mist Pool are extraordinarily significant.
From the materials to the barrier setup alone, raising the Star Mist Pool by one level requires several times the resources and effort!
A ten-times Star Mist Pool is enough for Gold Level use, making it the most cost-effective for second-tier academy staff and students.
If they want to create a higher-grade Star Mist Pool, they have to pay extra money, which general academies are unwilling to do.”
Su Yuan thought of something and asked, “Teacher He, if the Star Mist Pool imposes extra pressure on students’ bodies, does that mean if the physical constitution is stronger, one could open higher levels?”
“That’s correct, and the primary stress is on the ‘constitution.'” He Yanan smiled and nodded while glancing at Su Yuan’s standing card.
“If your constitution is strong enough, the maximum Star Power concentration you can withstand in the Star Mist Pool will indeed be higher.
For a Bronze Level, it could be one to two times higher.”
One to two times!
Su Yuan, Xiang Dingqian, and Zhang Tai, who had C-level constitution talents, all had their eyes shine.
If it truly could be boosted to two times, wouldn’t that be close to the Silver Stage limit!
He Yanan smiled, knowing that saying it could be at most two times, actually, even with C-level talent, an extra one-time boost would be excellent.
But He Yanan did not elaborate.

When these students try it themselves later, they’ll find out.
“Additionally, besides the restriction on physical constitution, there’s another critical restriction on cultivating in the Star Mist Pool…
and that is academic points.”
The crowd was stunned and then awakened from the amazing effects of the Star Mist Pool.
Right, He Yanan was talking about the credit system now.
A Star Mist Pool with such terrifying cultivation aid can’t be casually used, can it?
He Yanan didn’t keep them in suspense and directly said, “The Star Mist Pool charges by the hour.
The venue fee is 10 academic points per hour.
Beyond that, each additional multiple concentration consumes an extra 10 academic points.”
The crowd was dumbfounded, “There’s even a venue fee?”
“First, the number of Star Mist Pools is limited.
To encourage students to use higher-concentration Star Mist Pools and avoid students frequently using low-multiple Star Mist Pools for extended periods, causing a shortage.
Second…
for the sake of rounding up numbers for easier calculation.” He Yanan grinned, showing her white teeth.
“So, a two-time Star Power concentration costs 20 academic points per hour, three times costs 30 academic points per hour, and so on.”
The crowd: …
“How many academic points do we have now?” Zhang Tai asked in confusion.
“At the start of the term, our top hundred students seem to have 50 academic points…” A shy round-faced girl near Zhang Tai muttered softly.
Zhang Tai’s eyes widened, “Only 50 points?!”
Zhang Tai, who was naturally burly and round-faced, appeared quite fierce.
Speaking loudly startled the round-faced girl named Lu Yingying.
“Se-seems so…!” Lu Yingying hurriedly added, seemingly confirming.
Mu Qingyu frowned, “Zhang Tai, lower your voice, don’t frighten others.”
Zhang Tai glanced at Lu Yingying, who had been staring at her desk, evidently scared, and scratched his head awkwardly.
But not only Zhang Tai, but everyone in the classroom frowned.
The beginning academic points were indeed 50, only enough for less than two hours in a three-times concentration Star Mist Pool!
They thought it might not be cheap, but not this expensive!
Could it be that the purchasing power of academic points is low and 50 points are not actually a lot?
