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

Chapter 41: One Step into the Void, Asking for the Path to Immortality
The number of immortal candidates who can participate in the nine academies in the entire Rongcheng is even less than Lin Mo estimated.

There are about 200 high schools in Chengdu that specialize in training candidates for the Immortal Candidates. On average, there is not even one candidate for the Immortal Candidates in every ten high schools.

No, if we exclude Nanshan No. 4 Middle School, perhaps even one out of the fifteen high schools might be able to come up with one.

In fact, what Lin Mo didn’t know was that even Nanshan No. 4 Middle School, which ranked among the top five in Xichuan Province, had exploded this year.

In previous years, it was considered very good if each class could produce a fairy seedling with Qi training level above 7.

Qingchen Taoist Temple did not make the immortal examination candidates wait too long. In order not to affect the time of the immortal examination, when they saw that the number of people was almost all there, the staff in charge of the teleportation array had already started checking tickets.

The candidates entered the venue one by one with their candidate credentials.

Lin Mo also lined up obediently at the back, looking at the teleportation array in front with curiosity.

Ye Chen, who deliberately fell several steps behind him, had a cold face, but his eyes revealed a probing look.

But in contrast, the expressions of most of the immortal candidates at the scene seemed normal, and they were obviously no longer surprised by the teleportation array in the Taoist temple.

Lin Mo also noticed this. The attire of these immortal candidates was also different from theirs.

You can tell at a glance that most of the immortal candidates’ attire is not ordinary Taoist robes, as they are engraved with intricate Taoist patterns, and they are obviously “pay-to-win” candidates.

He sighed in his heart.

As expected, spiritual practice is just as what the immortal Meng from the Taoist Temple said, it is inseparable from the four big words "wealth, law, companion and place".

Most of the candidates who are able to take the Immortal Examination, even if their families are not second-generation immortals like Zhu Hongyuan, should be businessmen doing well in the mortal world.

Putting aside other things, there should be no shortage of things like spiritual energy training rooms. From time to time, buying a few spiritual energy powders on the market can greatly increase the speed of training.

In comparison, Lin Mo's outfit looks much more "shabby".

At this moment, he finally understood why Ye Chen disliked Zhu Hongyuan.

The families of these immortal candidates are probably much richer than Zhang Dahai’s wealthy family. They are all wealthy families...

He complained in his mind as he walked forward, and soon it was his turn.

After seeing his student ID, the staff member bowed and said:

"I wish you success on the Immortal Ranking, transformation into a fish and dragon, and success on your path to immortality!"

Lin Mo also returned the greeting: "Thank you."

"Please stand in the formation."

The staff opened the guardrail and guided Lin Mo to the center of the magic circle.

Lin Mo looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure out anything from the array pattern on the ground. Then he saw the staff take out a stone with a faint white light and put it in the middle of the controlled instrument.

His eyes widened immediately. What the hell, a fake spirit stone...

Before he could finish his thought, his eyes blurred and his vision began to spin.

When he opened his eyes again, before Lin Mo had time to look around, his body subconsciously retched:
"yue~!"

He covered his chest with his hands. It felt like he had ridden on a bungee jumping machine ten times in a row and was swung by a pendulum dozens of times.

"This is the teleportation that takes place 100,000 times? Bad review!"

It took him a long time to recover from the discomfort.

It was not until this moment that he raised his head and looked around.

He saw that he was already on a wide diamond-shaped platform, with a towering stone pillar standing on each side. The air above was filled with fairy air, like a fairyland, while the depth below was bottomless, making people terrified.

Lin Mo opened his eyes slightly, and a majestic aura rushed towards him. The discomfort he had just felt instantly disappeared.

No, this is... spiritual energy?
There was a slight surprise in his eyes. The spiritual energy on the platform was abundant, even not worse than the level 1 green spiritual energy training room in No. Middle School.

Lin Mo took a deep breath. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he would have almost wanted to sit cross-legged and meditate, taking advantage of this natural "spiritual energy training room" for free.

"This is……"

"Ascend the Immortal Platform!"

Before coming, he had already "absorbed" all the information about the Heavenly Dao Immortal Examination given by Lao Li, making sure that no information would be left behind.

One step into the void, asking for the way to immortality.

The so-called Ascension Platform is the "examination hall" where Qigong practitioners undergo the test of Heaven.

This was also the platform where the monks of Jiuzhou embarked on the true path of cultivation a thousand years ago. There are nine platforms in total in Diyuan Jiuzhou.

At this time, Lin Mo was on the Ascension Platform in Qinzhou.

Looking around, all the immortal candidates who have reached the 7th level of Qi training in the entire Xichuan Province are here.

Thousands, or tens of thousands...

In short, the number of people increased suddenly.

Although the number of Xian Miao people in Rongcheng is less than twenty, the total number of Xian Miao people in the entire Xichuan Province is barely over a hundred.

But among the hundreds of provinces in Qinzhou, Xichuan Province can only be regarded as a second-tier province.

Looking at the entire Qinzhou, even if there are only a small number of geniuses, their number will become considerable.

This time, Lin Mo could finally shout, "There are so many people!"

Not only that, as soon as he was teleported here, he felt countless gazes being cast towards him, and a vague sense of oppression gradually came over him.

Naturally, it was not just him who would be stared at like this, but all the immortal seedlings that were teleported here.

Among these tens of thousands of immortal seedlings, almost every one of them has the potential to become a competitor of the other party.

And those who are able to become immortal seedlings are, without exception, the best among their peers.

Lin Mo, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly felt oppressed. A vague atmosphere of tension spread from the crowd.

"Humph, you country bumpkin!"

Ye Chen beside him looked at his series of reactions and complained with disdain.

Do you want to wipe off the soy milk foam from the corner of your mouth before you talk?
Lin Mo pulled the corner of his mouth expressionlessly, with no intention of reminding him.

"Chu Wange is here!"

Suddenly, a cry of surprise was heard.

Everyone looked over subconsciously, and Lin Mo naturally did the same.

I saw a familiar red Taoist robe suddenly appear in my field of vision, with a simple and clean Taoist bun and a most common standard Taoist sword hanging at his waist. When he walked, there seemed to be a magnificent scene under the wide Taoist robe.

Although he didn't do anything outstanding, he attracted everyone's attention the moment he appeared.

"That's Chu Wange from Xichuan Province, a top talent who is expected to compete for the Immortal Ranking this year!?"

"His eyebrows are like distant mountains, his sword energy is condensed, and he is indeed like a sword!"

"Have you heard? Qingshan Sect and Daoist Academy had approached her before the Immortal Examination. I don't know which academy she will choose in the end."

"Both of these two academies are famous for their sword training expertise. It wouldn't be surprising whichever one she chooses. However, many people say that once she makes her choice, the academy she doesn't choose will most likely be suppressed by the other academy for at least ten years."

"Hiss! So exaggerated?"

"It's not an exaggeration at all. It's easy for Shu to produce sword cultivators. Chu Wange is known as the most talented sword cultivator in Xichuan Province in the past decade or so. He deserves this title."

"A potential swordsman. I'm so envious!"

"..."

Chu Wange is so famous in Xichuan Province! ?
When Lin Mo heard the discussions coming from the surroundings, he was somewhat surprised to find that his opinion of Chu Wange was too low.

After hearing these words, Ye Chen, who was standing beside him, straightened his back slightly, as if he was proud of it.

After all, both Lin Mo and he were wearing Taoist robes with the Nanshan No. 4 Middle School label.

Chu Wange, who had just been teleported from not far away, looked around and finally noticed Lin Mo standing in the corner. He took a step forward and walked towards this side.

"Shit, she's coming towards me!"

Someone nearby exclaimed.

Eh!? A familiar scene... Lin Mo glanced at the excited male compatriots around him.

At this time, Chu Wange had already walked in front of him and asked, "Are you here?"

Lin Mo curled his lips and nodded: "Yes, I'm here."
