Deduct 1 for merit. I am really not a child of luck.

Chapter 238: Another epiphany! Lin Mo was repeatedly abused!

Seeing that Chu Wange didn't come to eat, Lin Mo went to take a look at the top-grade soul washing pool.

Outside the golden, top-grade soul-washing pool, layers of golden light rippled in the pool, and the scene in the pool water was isolated by the talisman.

He felt a sharp sword intent coming towards him, and this feeling was very familiar.

"Tsk, Sister Chu has another epiphany!"

Long A beside him couldn't help but exclaimed.

That’s right, Chu Wange entered the state of enlightenment again.

Just like Wudaoya, she once again became the first person to achieve enlightenment in the secret realm of Xilingchi.

After hearing the news, Lin Chenran couldn't help but sigh to Chu Qingyun:
"Your great-grandmother's talent is really strong!"

Chu Qingyun frowned, but he really had no way to refute this matter.

"But this guy is only at the fifth level of foundation building. Isn't he going to comprehend the Dao rhyme of Danwen?"

After hearing this, Lin Mo asked in confusion: "Danwen Daoyun? What is this?"

"You do not know?"

Lin Chenran looked at him in surprise at first, then suddenly remembered:
"I almost forgot again. You guys have only been promoted for a short time. The sect teacher probably hasn't taught you this yet."

So, he explained to Lin Mo:

"Pill pattern rhyme, in simple terms, is related to both foundation building and elixir formation. The deeper the foundation laid during the foundation building stage, the more elixir patterns will be formed when you advance to the golden elixir stage in the future."

His explanation was very brief, leaving Lin Mo a little confused.

At this time, Zhu Zishun took over the conversation and explained in detail:

"Brother Mo, you can understand Danwen Daoyun as the Dao tactics and Dao arts that you are practicing now."

"The higher the level of the skills and magical powers you practice, the higher your proficiency, the more Dan patterns will condense when you form Dan, and naturally the more benefits you will get when you advance to Jindan in the future..."

Lin Mo listened and asked questions at the same time, and slowly, he finally figured out the matters before Dan Jing.

During the era of great cultivation, the quality of the golden elixir was also strictly divided into different levels.

It is roughly divided into mainstream and non-stream.

An inferior golden elixir, one that does not even have a single elixir pattern, is also called a fake elixir.

Generally speaking, among the cultivators who are now able to ascend to the Lingxu Realm, it is rare for them to form false pills.

The true essence, qi and blood, consciousness, lifespan, etc. of a pseudo-Jindan cultivator are much weaker than those of an ordinary Jindan cultivator.

The golden elixirs that are accepted are divided into grades one to nine according to the number of elixir patterns.

The more Dao rhyme the Dan pattern forms, the higher the quality.

The first grade is the highest and the ninth grade is the lowest.

“But generally speaking, Danwen Daoyun only begins to condense after entering the late stage of foundation building. At the beginning, it does not appear in the form of Danwen, but in the form of Daoyun.”

Zhu Zishun explained: "I can feel that Fellow Daoist Chu's sword intent and Dao rhyme are gathering. I think he has already gained some insights."

When he said this, a hint of appreciation appeared on his face.

Although the Spirit Washing Pool itself has the effect of improving comprehension, it also has a great auxiliary effect on the condensation of Danwen.

However, whether it is possible to condense the rhyme of Tao is still a difficult thing to say.

Among the ten people in the Spirit Washing Pool, Chu Wange was the first to enter a state of enlightenment, and his comprehension could be described as extremely high.

"Brother Zhuzi, I remember that you had already gained some insights in the Superior Spirit Washing Pond last year. How many have you condensed this year?"

Chu Qingyun suddenly asked.

Zhu Zishun smiled and said, "I am dull and only managed to condense three Dan lines in a year."

"Three! I only have two!"

Lin Chenran immediately jumped out: "You are dull, then am I not a fool?"

Liu Yunmu and Jing Zifeng also said that they had only condensed two, and condemned Zhu Zishun for being a bit inhuman.

Among the ten people at present, Zhu Zishun has made the fastest progress and is about to form the fourth dan pattern.

Next is Chu Qingyun, with three red-patterned sword rhymes.

The rest of the people, whether it was the Lin siblings, Liu Yunmu, or Jing Zifeng, all had two Danwens and were preparing to form the third Danwen.

Lin Mo suddenly realized, no wonder these guys’ fighting power is stronger than each other.

Others already have two or three danwen, which is equivalent to stepping half a step into the golden elixir stage. Naturally, they are not comparable to those of them who have not yet entered the late stage of foundation building.

After discussing the progress of Danwen for a while, Zhu Zishun turned around and said to Lin Mo:
"Brother Mo, I see that your fire-based Taoism actually has a hint of Taoism. If you can keep persevering in your understanding, you might be able to successfully form a Dan pattern with fire-based Taoism in this top-grade soul-washing pool."

Lin Mo fell into deep thought, is that so? Why didn't I feel any Daoyun Danwen?
“If you can successfully condense the Dao rhyme of fire, even if you haven’t entered the late stage of foundation building, your combat power will be higher than that of cultivators of the same level.”

Zhu Zishun said one more sentence, and then smiled:

"Of course, in addition to the top-grade soul-cleansing pool, actual combat is also one of the ways to promote the understanding of Taoism."

Oh boy, it turns out you were waiting for me here!

Lin Mo secretly said that it was not good, but the bastard Lin Chenran had already come over, put his arm around his shoulders and said:
"Yes, Brother Mo, your fire-based talisman skills are pretty good. Would you like to spar with me, who specializes in water-based talismans, today?"

"Water and fire are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. Maybe you can learn a little from this?"

Liu Yunmu smiled and said, "That's right, Yunmu also wants to learn from Brother Mo."

"Since we can't fight in a group, a one-on-one fight is also a way to learn from each other."

Zhu Zishun nodded in agreement and said, "Anyway, my Xuyou space is big enough for everyone to learn from each other."

Lin Mo: There are always villains who want to harm me!
……

The next few days can be said to be the worst period of time for Lin Mo.

He was tortured in various ways by Zhu Zishun and others.

The previous team battles were fine, with the bonus of the golden combination and the presence of Yu Linglong, a strong figure in the team, so some of Lin Mo’s personal shortcomings were not actually exposed obviously.

But after entering the duel, Lin Mo's shortcomings were exposed one by one. Although he had many magical powers that could be used at zero frame, due to the limitations of his proficiency and cultivation, the power he exerted was only average.

Also, the more magical powers you have, the more difficult it is to use them.

Sometimes when fighting, he would be flustered and not know what to do.

Only the Fire Li magical power is relatively proficient and can be used to perform various tricks.

The other magical powers are really just basic applications.

When dealing with ordinary foundation-building cultivators, one might be able to gain the advantage by relying on the many magical powers and the ability to start from zero frame.

But for these top-level geniuses who have already begun to form Dan veins, these shortcomings become particularly obvious.

Not to mention Zhu Zishun, even Lin Chenran, the talisman cultivator, could hang him up and beat him.

Lin Mo, who maintained a record of 150 consecutive victories in the sword-fighting arena, only then realized how fake his winning streak was.

If there had been any foundation-building disciple who had condensed Danwen among the people he was matched with, he would not have been able to win 150 consecutive victories.

……

"Oh!"

A talisman exploded beside Lin Mo, and a huge airflow rushed over.

"Gen Tu—rise!"

He raised his hand quickly, but the speed of his true energy condensation could not keep up with the speed of the airflow. The earth wall was only half built when the airflow rushed onto his body and blew him away.

"Boom-"

Lin Mo rolled on the ground for several times before he came to a stop. There were several torn holes on his Taoist robe, revealing the scratches inside.

"The gap is too big!"

Lin Mo raised his hand in a somewhat embarrassed manner and looked towards Zhu Zishun in the middle of the lake.

The latter still had that smiling face, and after seeing that he was injured and paused, he did not rush to take action.

After spending some time with them, he also had a general understanding of the methods of these top geniuses.

Chu Qingyun's Tianyuan Great Sword, Liu Yunmu's Daoist magic, Jing Zifeng's Qi Blade Skill, Lin Chenran's All-Powerful Talisman, and Lin Qingyu's Pure Violence Output...

Each has its own characteristics and features.

As for these people, Lin Mo didn't dare to say that he would be able to defeat them after entering the late stage of foundation building, but at least there was still hope.

After all, these people possess first-rate magical skills, and his Five Elements and Eight Trigrams magical powers are not bad either.

He could even vaguely feel that his Bagua magical powers still had great potential that had not yet been developed.

Once it is fully developed, it may be even better than their magical powers.

Only Zhu Zishun was someone he still found unfathomable.

Except for the first group battle, Zhu Zishun never used the formation he used that day again when fighting against him, let alone the earth-shattering space-based ability he used that day.

The things that the various philosophers came up with are numerous and diverse.

Lin Mo's magical power of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams is at least in line with the operation of the Five Elements, while Zhu Zi Shunzhen is just learning everything.

Talismans, formations, weapon refining, alchemy, puppets...

In addition, he is also a swordsman.

Of course, he is not a pure swordsman, but a sword servant.

It is said that the long sword he carries with him was specially tailored for him by a highly respected supreme elder in the sect.

The terrifying thing about Zhu Zishun is that he is not a know-it-all and is not good at anything, but a know-it-all and is an expert in everything!

"No wonder a monster like Chu Qingyun was suppressed by this guy..."

Lin Mo took a deep breath, his eyes became more serious, and he said loudly:
"Come again!"

The disciples nodded obediently: "Okay, Brother Mo."

After saying that, he drew out the long sword from his waist that was curved like a golden snake.

Lin Mo understood instantly that he was going to torture himself in different ways.

"Haha, isn't it just swordsmanship? It's like everyone knows it!"

Unconvinced, he pulled out...the standard Taoist sword from his waist.

"Pure Yang Sword Technique!"

He lightly swung two sword flowers, and a burning sword intent emanated from the sword.

This is not over yet——

"Qiantian Li!"

As he shouted softly, the sword of the Dao Sword trembled slightly, and the burning sword intent seemed to be even stronger.

Zhu Zishun on the opposite side narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Brother Mo, are you ready? I'm coming!"

Come on, you talk like you want to fuck my ass!
Lin Mo complained in his heart, but a smile appeared on his lips: "In that case, let's have a contest between swordsmen."

Zhu Zi nodded, raised his sword and rushed over on the lake.

Just as he was about to attack, suddenly several bolts of fire came towards his face.

“Swish! Bang!”

He raised his sword to block two blasts of Dao fire, but was hit in the shoulder by a blast of scorching Dao fire.

The terrifying high temperature instantly burned through his vital energy that protected his body and even burned his skin. A burning pain came from his shoulder.

Facing Lin Mo's sudden "going back on his word", Zhu Zishun was not angry. Instead, he raised his head with a smile on his face and said:

“Brother Mo, you are naughty.”

After saying that, he came again with the sword in hand.
