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

Chapter 49: Rare Foundation-Building Method
Thinking of this, Lin Mo directly opened his own panel:

[Cultivation]: Qi Refining Level 7 (1500/3000)

[Merit]: 1100
[luck value]: 36
[Spell]:
1. Heavenly Thunder Curse (medium quality): 1450/2000
2. Kuixing Pillar (low quality): 610/1000
3. Rain Bu Jue (lower grade): 200/1000
4. Fire Control Technique (low quality): 200/1000
5. Basic Sword Skills (Low Grade): 113/1000
……

Ignore those values ​​that cannot be improved, such as spiritual root purity ratio, enlightenment and physique.

Currently, the only two things that can be improved are [Cultivation] and [Spells].

As your cultivation level increases, the upper limit of your true energy will naturally increase as well.

In addition, improving the proficiency of [spells] can also increase the thickness of true energy to a certain extent.

Especially after practicing "Heavenly Thunder Curse" to the peak level, Lin Mo clearly felt that the thickness of his true essence had increased by at least half a percent.

If it is upgraded to the perfect state, the true essence value can be increased by at least 10%.

For some reason, Lin Mo suddenly thought of Chu Wange.

The opponent's true energy must be much more powerful than that of ordinary Qi training.

How much true energy would that string of perfect sword techniques add?
He slowly regained his composure and focused his attention back on the panel.

"It's unclear how long this secret realm bug will last, so it's more stable to focus on cultivation..."

He muttered to himself and directly charged the 1100 merit points accumulated on the day he entered the copy into his skills.

[Ding! You have invested 1100 points of merit in the technique, technique experience +429 (1100*39%)]

As his cultivation experience increased, Lin Mo suddenly felt that his 7th level of Qi training had become much more solid, and the true energy in his body also soared a little.

"Not enough, still far from it!"

Lin Mo narrowed his eyes and looked at the cultivation level on the panel, his fingers slightly bent and straightened——

【merit +1】

He touched the ample "ammunition" in his backpack.

It is obvious that the next step is a real "tough battle"!
……

……

"Shh!"

Another green light flashed across the Ascension Platform.

"Green level again!"

Meng Xianchang looked at the faint light in the mirror flower and water moon, shook his head slightly and said: "This should be the last one among the first batch of clearances."

Principal Zhu also looked at the mirror and said, "There seem to be three blue lights in this batch. The one with the most added 18 extra points."

Feng Xianchang said, "There are five questions. You missed two because you went to the toilet. The most you got is 20 extra points."

Principal Zhu smiled awkwardly and was about to speak when he heard Feng Xianchang continue, "Going to the toilet too frequently and sweating a lot should be a sign of yang deficiency. You should do more walking exercises to strengthen your body."

Principal Zhu: “…”

Lao Li and Wang Tou looked at Principal Zhu at the same time, then turned away at the same time, pretending to look at the scenery.

Immortal Meng coughed lightly and said, "Although there are many candidates who passed the first round, they can only be said to have barely reached the admission standard. Their strength is average, so naturally they cannot brush out high-quality secret realm rewards."

After he popularized the knowledge points of the Immortal Examination Secret Realm several times, everyone, including Old Li who was visiting the Immortal Examination for the first time, knew that the higher the score of the secret realm settlement, the more likely it is to produce high-quality treasures.

For the first batch of candidates who passed the secret realm, the highest score was only over 200 points, and not even one scored over 300 points.

The total score is in the range of 500-700 points, which is still far from the top group of candidates.

The probability of them being able to brush out high-quality secret treasures is naturally much lower.

Old Li said quickly:

"Master Meng said that the candidate just now was the last one in the first batch. Does that mean Lin Mo has already confirmed that he will try the secret realm for the second time?"

When this name was mentioned, Meng Xianchang's expression became a little complicated, and then he said, "That should be it."

Old Li breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I still have enough energy to try again. This kid should be fine."

Whether it is Ye Chen or Lin Mo, their names are still on the Immortal List, and they did not appear in the first batch.

They should have all chosen to try the second trial. In other words, the three immortal seedlings of Nanshan this year are all secured!
Zhu Xiao's embarrassment eased a little, and a smile appeared on his face:
"Now let's see who gets a higher score between Ye Chen and Lin Mo, and whether Chu Wange can hold on to the first place."

Old Li waved his hand and said, "Hey, Lin Mo is lucky this time. It's good enough that he can pass the line. How can he compare with Ye Chen!"

Principal Zhu nodded, obviously agreeing with this statement.

Ye Chen became famous in Nanshan three years ago. Although he had ordinary qualifications, he made a comeback in the end and became one of the few immortal seedlings in Nanshan.

Lin Mo has only emerged as a rising star in the past month or so. Although he also has good luck, he has been examined by Immortal Meng last time and found that he has not even reached the lowest threshold of being a son of luck. Naturally, he cannot be compared with Ye Chen.

In fact, until now, Zhu Xiao still feels that Lin Mo is a bargain for him.

The main thing is that I didn’t expect that Chu Wange could offer a “buy one get one free” offer.

Meng Xianchang sighed:

"It is indeed surprising that Mr. Lin has come this far. According to my estimation..."

He thought of the previous scene in his mind and fell silent.

Principal Zhu smiled and encouraged: "Master Meng, please go ahead. We are already very satisfied with what we have now."

It's not because of that... Immortal Meng coughed, thought for a moment and then said:
"Little friend Lin probably performed mediocrely in the first round and wants to try the second round. This is quite common in the Immortal Examination."

Some immortal candidates may not be aware that they can adjust their status before the secret realm reopens, and when they see that their true essence is almost consumed, they simply quit.

A few smart ones know that they can use the period before the reopening to get another chance.

Top immortal candidates such as Chu Wange will complete three attempts and then take the highest score for settlement.

"So, Lin Mo and Ye Chen won't be able to come out until tomorrow at the latest?"

Old Li asked again.

Meng Xianchang shook his head and said:

"That may not be the case. The time it takes to pass the second round depends on the candidates' rest time, but the earliest will be tomorrow afternoon and the latest will be the morning of the day after tomorrow."

"The same goes for the third round. The earliest will be the day after tomorrow. The slowest... we will have to wait until the 6th day in the secret realm, or even the 7th day."

Not counting today, the exam will take at least 5 days.

Zhu Xiao finally understood. Ye Chen and Lin Mo might not be able to stay for the full five days, but there was a chance that Chu Wange would be able to stay for the full five days.

Meng Xianchang said:
"According to my estimation, Lin Mo and Ye Chen should appear on the third day of the secret realm, which is tomorrow."

"If his cultivation level is similar, he will be able to reach his limit the second time."

Old Li bowed and said politely, "It's all thanks to the Immortal Master for clearing up my doubts, otherwise I would still be worried about this kid Lin Mo."

Immortal Meng waved his hand: "No, no."

Feng Xianchang looked at the seemingly harmonious but isolated atmosphere around him with a puzzled look on his face.

Did I say something wrong again?

……

……

The third day in the Immortal Examination Secret Realm, evening.

A blue light suddenly lit up above the Dengxian Platform, causing the surrounding students to exclaim in surprise.

Above the mirror flower and water moon, Old Li, who had been staring at the screen, suddenly exclaimed:
"It's Ye Chen, he's out!"

Immortals Meng and Feng, who were meditating, slowly opened their eyes and looked into the mirror flowers and water moons.

Ye Chen was seen holding high an ancient book that was glowing blue. Although it was covered in dust, his expression was full of joy. At the end, he even let out a long roar towards the sky.

The immortal candidates around were also attracted by the commotion. After seeing the Taoist book in the other party's hand, they all showed envious expressions.

Immortal Meng looked at the blue light on the Ascension Platform, smiled and said:
"It's a blue-level treasure, and it's..."

Immortal Feng's eyes lit up, and he continued, "A precious foundation-building method!"
