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

Chapter 45: The Secret Realm of Immortal Examination: Yunyin Valley!
Immortal Meng looked at the anxious Old Li and comforted him:

"Little friend Li, there is no need to be so anxious. The road ahead is long. Even if Little friend Lin cannot enter the nine academies, he must be the immortal seedling that other academies are fighting for."

“The great way strives to be first, but also strives to be continuous.”

That being said, the difference between ordinary Taoist academies and the nine major Taoist academies was so huge that even he, an ordinary Qigong practitioner who had never embarked on the path of cultivation, understood it.

Old Li forced a smile and said, "Never mind, this kid is just a bit unlucky after all."

Is he still out of luck?

Meng Xianchang couldn't help but complain in his heart that no matter how you looked at it, Lin Mo's luck was probably ridiculously good.

Originally he only had low-level aptitude, but being able to have the opportunity to embark on the path to immortality was already an incredible blessing.

Now, not only has he reached the seventh level of Qi training before the Immortal Examination, he is also eligible to participate in the Heavenly Dao Immortal Examination...

This could not be explained by his mere luck points of a dozen or so.

Moreover, in the opinion of Master Meng, Lin Mo’s greatest blessing was not that he was able to advance from the 2nd level of Qi training to the 7th level in one month, but that he met Chu Wange.

Of course, the latter's qualifications are so good that even among the nine major academies, he is definitely one of the top ones.

And someone as talented as Lin Mo couldn't even see the tail of Chu Wange's flying sword.

So, even though he could use some means to separate the two, he did not do so.

She just needs to wait for the day when Lin Mo can no longer follow in her footsteps, and then she will naturally feel resentful.

By then, he won't even need to do anything, the "young couple" will become "unhappy couple" and will separate sooner or later.

The gap between the nine major Taoist academies and ordinary Taoist academies is just the first step they must face.

Principal Zhu was quite open-minded and said:
"Old Li, don't be too anxious. Isn't there Ye Chen in your class? I remember that he controls a mid-level spell with good damage."

"According to Immortal Meng, Ye Chen still has a chance to be admitted to the Nine Daoist Colleges."

This is indeed true for Principal Zhu. Even if only two students from Nanshan No. 4 Middle School can be admitted to the nine major academies, they will definitely be the top middle school in the entire Xichuan Province.

Old Li nodded, agreeing with this statement. He looked at Lin Mo in the mirror and thought to himself:

Lin boy, I, your teacher, have done my best. Now it really depends on your own luck...

……

……

"Brace yourself, my friend! It's already number one!"

Lin Mo gave Chu Wange a thumbs up.

Chu Wange nodded, not seeming to be too surprised.

Come to think of it, if a person who has always been ranked first is suddenly no longer ranked first one day, he would probably be surprised, right?
All I can say is that Chu Wange’s talent has indeed reached another level.

The sounds of discussion around me continued to reach my ears.

"Chu Wange, oh my god, number one on the Immortal Ranking!?"

"If I remember correctly, the last time a student from Xichuan Province ranked first on the Immortal Ranking was the last time?"

"What a rubbish! The last time was decades ago, and it seemed to be a sword spirit root!"

"It's normal that there are many sword cultivators in Shu."

"I heard that the dean of Qingshan Sect is also from Shu."

"The people of Xichuan are really proud of themselves this time, haha! Chu Wange is awesome!"

"By the way, what's the name of that handsome guy next to him? Is he also a big shot?"

"..."

Listening to the topic gradually shifting to himself, Lin Mo subconsciously tensed his face, trying his best to pretend that "my strength is as good as my appearance", then slightly bent his fingers, and stretched them straight -

【merit +1】

Give me a little more time, it won’t hurt!

Lin Mo secretly shook his head in his heart. It was still too late to hang up now. If there was only one more month...

Forget it, two months is fine.

He dared to say that his name might not be absent from the top of the list. Even if he couldn't make it into the top ten or top twenty, at least there was always a chance for him to make it into the top fifty.

Just as he was daydreaming, the voice of the Heavenly Dao System resounded through the sky again, reaching the ears of all the immortal candidates:

[The secret realm of this Immortal Examination has been locked: Yunyin Valley. After the countdown ends, the transmission will be carried out and the talisman will be sent to the candidates. Please be prepared! ]

【59, 58, 57, 56...】

Finally arrived at the Immortal Examination Secret Realm!

The noise at the scene suddenly became much quieter, and the immortal candidates turned their attention back to themselves. They saw golden talismans appearing in the hands of the immortal candidates who had not yet been "eliminated".

Lin Mo naturally received it as well. He didn't have time to look at it carefully. He just put the talisman in his pocket and began to pack his luggage.

The things I brought were very simple. Apart from food, I only brought some basic first aid supplies.

The most common items in the backpack are compressed biscuits and instant noodles. In addition, there is a level 1 [Bigu Pill (White)] that I got a long time ago.

Although I don’t know whether it has passed its “shelf life”, one pill can provide two days of food and can come in handy at critical moments.

After sorting out the things in his backpack, he looked up at Chu Wange with confusion. Chu Wange had nothing on him except a sword, and asked:
"Where are your things?"

Each session of the Immortal Examination Secret Realm is very different, so in order to deal with sudden situations, no matter how high your cultivation level is, you will carry some basic supplies in case of emergency.

After all, the immortal candidates in the Qi training stage are still far from reaching the level of fasting.

Chu Wange didn't say anything, but showed Lin Mo his middle finger.

Of course, it was not to despise him, but to show off the simple-looking ring on her finger.

"Storage ring?"

Lin Mo opened his mouth slightly. It was also the first time he saw such high-end goods.

Chu Wange said:

"It's not a good thing. It can barely hold ten cubic meters of stuff."

Ten cubic meters? My bedroom can fit in it... Lin Mo suddenly began to wonder if the other party was looking down on him by giving him the middle finger.

Chu Wange retracted his middle finger and said, "Come on, Secret Realm, um... good friend."

Looking at the countdown getting closer and closer, Lin Mo took a deep breath and said, "You too, although you may not really need my encouragement."

Chu Wange shook his head and said, "I..."

"Uh-huh!!!"

Before he could hear her words, Lin Mo suddenly felt as if the whole world began to spin, and then the dizzy feeling of shaking his head appeared again.

When his body was completely stable, he didn't have time to check the surrounding environment, but leaned down directly:

"yue~!"

Another bout of retching.

He stood there for a long time before he finally came to his senses.

Shit, who designed this method of transmission? Is it reasonable to shake people like washing buckets?

Lin Mo wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, cursed fiercely in his heart, and then looked at the scene around him.

The fresh and moist air makes people feel relaxed and happy, and there are towering mountains all around.

The pale yellow light shines through the woods, adding a bit of soft light to the entire valley.

The jungle is dense and the mountain flowers are charming.

The clear stream flows with the mountain breeze, beautiful and quiet, making people marvel at the greatness of nature.

For a moment, Lin Mo thought he had strayed into a tourist attraction and subconsciously wanted to take a picture of the scenery.

But soon, he found out that it was all an illusion.

When Lin Mo was about to go around a tree to see if the water in the stream was drinkable, he found that he was bounced back by the invisible air as if he had hit a wall.

He widened his eyes and said:

"Fuck, air wall!?"
