The road is vague

Chapter 28 Enlightenment Assessment
Two months later.

Time passes day by day.

Since Shi Yazhou's death, the students in Ding Wei's class have indeed had less topics to talk about for a long time.

Some male students who once had a crush on Zhao Huaxue began to back off, but there were also a few who persevered, led by Zhou Zheng and Yang Zhiman. The two even had several quarrels over this and confronted students from other classes.

Lu Tianyou, the heart-burning arsonist, never dreamed that he would become the protagonist of the new topic in the class after Shi Yazhou.

Guo Hongjuan discovered that he was two-timing!

Guo Hongjuan actually went straight to the class and slapped him hard in the face in public.

After Hu Tianer learned the whole story, she left him and he was now completely blacklisted by the female students in the class.

Besides that, several other things happened.

Every month, there are a few fearless disciples in the Enlightenment Hall who secretly practice the Great Circulation. Eventually, accidents happen and they die from the backlash of their magic power. Shi Yazhou is only the first, but not the last.

Ma Ling beat up the guy who nicknamed her "Tiger Girl", and the whole class was stunned.

After seeing this, Li Mo secretly made up his mind that he would change his bad habit of giving nicknames and be more honest and upright in life.

While eating breakfast, Zhang Guoyin lost a tooth...

Feed in the afternoon.

Lu Tianyou came to Li Mo and couldn't help but complain.

"Hey, that Liu Yaoyao is so stupid. She still hasn't found the Qi sense. It's already so late, and the enlightenment test is about to start. I went to help her, but she actually dodged."

Li Mo looked helpless.

"Your reputation in the class is completely ruined. They all treat you like a plague."

"cut."

Lu Tianyou rolled his eyes, seemingly still not caring, but actually feeling a little guilty.

"They haven't even become official disciples of the Spirit Eye Sect yet. Why are they pretending to be fairies? The assessment will be in a few days. I think there are a lot of people who haven't opened their spiritual eyes yet. They will cry when the time comes. When they become independent cultivators outside and want to get close to me, they are not qualified."

Li Mo was a little surprised that there were still so many people without a sense of energy, so he looked at Lu Tianyou.

"What about you? Have you opened your spiritual eyes?"

"Well, I completed the concentration of my magical power the day before yesterday and reached the first level of Qi training. I opened my spiritual eyes on the same day."

The concentration of magic power is a sign of reaching the first level of Qi training.

Before this, even if the cultivator condensed magic power through qi, these magic powers would gradually dissipate with the passage of time. Only by following the instructions of the main practice method of Lingmu Sect and condensing the magic power into a mist-like vortex in the dantian, the magic power will not gradually dissipate.

Only with stable magical support can monks perform various magical methods.

of course.

Due to the low mana of low-level monks, they can only cast some basic and elementary spells, and it is difficult for them to fight for a long time.

Lu Tianyou did not ask about Li Mo's progress in cultivation.

As roommates, although Li Mo is usually not ostentatious, Lu Tianyou can still vaguely feel that Li Mo's cultivation speed is very fast, and he always remains confident, knowing that Li Mo must be far ahead of him.

At this time.

After feeding, the medicine jar Hu Tianer came to Li Mo and Lu Tianyou.

Lu Tianyou thought she had changed her mind, so he immediately stood up and greeted her with a smile. However, Hu Tianer glared at him fiercely and said to Li Mo, "Li Mo, why are you still with this kind of person?"

Li Mo felt helpless.

He knew that Hu Tianer had completely hated Lu Tianyou, so he casually said, "I am his distant cousin."

Hu Tianer was furious when she heard this.

"If you stay with him any longer, you'll become like him sooner or later!"

Then Hu Tianer glared at Lu Tianyou fiercely again.

Seeing this, Lu Tianyou was like a deflated ball, with a look of giving up. He sat down again and sighed.

"One wrong move and the whole game is lost."

Li Mo curled his lips and said, "Maybe you've offended someone because of your usual chatter."

"Ok?"

Lu Tianyou was stunned, then suddenly realized: "I was wondering why it was such a coincidence that day, someone must have informed on me. If I find out who the bastard is, I will make him pay!"

He did not regret his infidelity, but rather regretted not being careful enough.

"Li Mo!"

After seeing Li Mo, Ma Ling greeted him, and Niu Li and Yang Guang also waved.

"Want to practice martial arts together tonight?"

After hearing this, Li Mo waved and said hello, "The test will be in a few days. I still need to prepare, so I won't be there for the next few days. Good luck to you guys."

"it is good."

The three of them were not angry when they heard this.

The reason was simple. In the eyes of the three, Li Mo's martial arts attainments were simply too amazing, and they were completely convinced of him.

Lu Tianyou seemed to have thought of something and looked at Li Mo.

"I seem to have heard that practicing martial arts can improve one's bones and help one attain enlightenment. You didn't mention it, but those three guys haven't seemed anxious or impatient until now. It seems that the idea of ​​improving one's bones is not nonsense."

Li Mo rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think practicing martial arts is easy?"

However, if Li Mo had not experienced the Eighteen Mountains and witnessed the difficulties faced by other people who practiced martial arts, he would not have been qualified to say this.

"Too."

Lu Tianyou obviously also knew the difficulties of learning martial arts. He smiled and said no more.

night.

Li Mo came to the rockery again and found a secluded place to practice.

Although he had benefited a lot from his ethereal dreams these days, and had completed the condensation of his magic power a month and a half ago, reached the first level of Qi training, and opened his spiritual eyes, he did not neglect his usual practice.

Over time, his magical powers became stronger and stronger, and now he was showing signs of breaking through to the second level of Qi training.

As far as Li Mo knows.

Generally speaking, after becoming a child at the age of fifteen, when one's bones have gradually grown, one can begin to practice.

If you practice too early, it may damage your spiritual roots.

In the next forty to fifty years, if a cultivator fails to complete the foundation building, his body's functional potential will continue to decline, and his essence will continue to be lost. After he reaches the age of fifty, he will almost completely lose the possibility of building the foundation. Some people say that high-level Qi training cultivators can even live to the age of eighty with the nourishment of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but there are also many high-level Qi training cultivators who die at the age of sixty.

The cultivators who can complete the foundation building before the age of thirty-five are almost all the most elite main forces in each sect.

They will have a certain chance of advancing to the Golden Core Stage in the future. Therefore, the number of these elite cultivators not only determines the future potential of a sect, but also affects the national destiny of a country for the next hundred years.

As for the very few disciples who were trained with all their might by sects and aristocratic families, there were also many who completed their foundation building within just seven or eight years after becoming children.

I do not know how long it has been.

Li Mo, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"It's done."

He didn't expect that breaking through the second level of Qi training would be so easy.

"In such a short time, he has already broken through to the second level of Qi training. At this rate, after the final examination in three years, I'm afraid I can at least reach the ninth level of Qi training, right?"

Li Mo couldn't help but think optimistically.

There are so-called major bottlenecks at the first, fourth, seventh, and tenth levels of Qi training.

However, he also knew that the reason why his current cultivation speed was so astonishing was also related to the fact that he frequently entered the ethereal dream during the thunderstorms during this period. After the summer thunderstorms ended, his chances of entering the ethereal dream would decrease, and his cultivation speed would naturally slow down.

As his cultivation level becomes higher, more and more time and energy will be required. Due to various factors, he is unable to give an accurate assessment.

Moreover, a cultivator's own opportunity is also an extremely important factor in his practice.

Li Mo, who was excited, immediately opened his spiritual eyes again.

This was the only spell he currently possessed. After concentrating his magical power in his eyes, he looked in all directions and could faintly see some faint spiritual energy gathering into a human shape.

It seemed that other people were also practicing nearby.

Then Li Mo noticed the faint spiritual light on the courtyard wall, which revealed an indestructible aura.

He guessed that this was most likely the Lingmu Sect's mountain protection formation, which not only covered the entire Qingming Mountain, but also divided the mountain gate into dozens of courtyard areas.

Li Mo, who was in the Enlightenment Hall at the moment, naturally found it difficult to see the situation outside through his spiritual eyes.

“Sometimes, it’s better not to open your spiritual eyes.”

After being curious for a while, Li Mo removed his spiritual eyes and looked outside the yard with his real vision. He could see more clearly, which made him complain in his heart.

Then he sensed his dantian.

Compared to the first level of Qi training, the mana vortex of the second level of Qi training is obviously much more solidified and its area is also slightly larger, but that is all, and there is no essential change.

"It seems that according to what Wang Feng said, only when one reaches the first, fourth, seventh, and tenth levels of Qi training will the mana in the Dantian undergo some special changes, and the cultivator's strength will be greatly improved. This is not an empty promise."

With Li Mo's current magical power at the second level of Qi training, he can already open his spiritual eyes easily and skillfully, and there will naturally be no problem for him to cope with the enlightenment test in a few days.

Only then did he realize that it was already the hour of Hai without him noticing.

"It's so late, and there are still so many people working hard."

Li Mo always thought that he was one of the most hardworking people in the Enlightenment Hall, but he didn't expect that there were many people who worked harder than him. It was already so late, and there were still so many people practicing silently.

He walked down the rockery, and someone next to him happened to finish his training and walked down the rockery at this time.

When the two met, they couldn't help but be stunned.

This was a girl with fair skin, staring at him with a pair of big eyes. After careful identification, Li Mo found that this was Zhu Yidan's good friend Zhao Xiaonan.

"Li Mo?"

Zhao Xiaonan asked in surprise: "Are you practicing here too?"

"Yeah, I've been practicing here since the beginning of the school year."

Zhao Xiaonan was surprised when he heard this.

"Me too. I didn't expect it to have been this long. We were so close and they didn't even know it. A few days ago, a student named Chen Chen suffered a backlash of his magic power here. I've been hesitating for several days about whether to move to another place."

"I also heard that Chen Chen wasn't discovered until noon the next day..."

The two of them walked together, chatting as they headed towards the dormitory.

Because of Zhu Yidan, the two are familiar with each other, but they don't know each other in depth. This chance encounter has brought the relationship between them one step closer.

a few days later.

After three months of enlightenment training, Lingmumen will conduct enlightenment assessment on everyone.

Including Ding Wei, twelve uncle masters in the Foundation Establishment stage stood in a row, looking at the more than 500 students in the academy who were lined up in neat rows and were being publicly assessed by the people from the Guardian Hall.

Li Mo and Lu Tianyou stood together, looking forward.

They only know that the assessment is very fast, but they cannot see the specific assessment content.

In front, an eagle-eyed monk with an extremely pale face was standing on a high place, constantly calling out names loudly, and like a judge, he read out the pass and fail without a trace of emotion.

"Liu Yaoyao, failed!"

In the class where Ding Wei is in charge of enlightenment education, many people have been declared to have failed the assessment, including Hu Tianer and Liu Yaoyao.

Li Mo sighed slightly.

"The elimination rate is about half."

Lu Tianyou laughed heartlessly and said, "My sweet sister, you were so arrogant when you saw me last time and said I was useless, but you ended up being eliminated... Hehe, seeing you crying like a pear blossom in the rain, I feel like I'm sad too. It's a pity that we are destined to be different people."

At this time.

There was another call from the front, and it was Li Mo's turn.

"To!"

Li Mo hurriedly ran up and came to the platform.

I saw five monks with different expressions sitting in a row, and behind them stood the twelve uncles and aunts in charge of enlightenment education in the Enlightenment Hall. They had no expression on their faces, like a group of wooden men.

A chubby monk looked at Li Mo with a kind smile on his face.

"Don't be nervous. We are the examiners this time. Here are ten copper coins. All you need to do is open your spiritual eyes and find the three most special ones within ten breaths. The test begins!"

The man was still kindly telling Li Mo not to be nervous the moment before, but the next moment he announced in a cold voice that the exam was about to begin, which made Li Mo shudder.

He quickly opened his spiritual eyes and looked at the ten copper coins on the table.

With just a quick glance, Li Mo discovered that three of the copper coins were different.

In Li Mo's eyes, the other copper coins looked lifeless and black and gray in color, but these three copper coins seemed to have life, with spiritual power flowing faintly.

So he took out the three copper coins.

Seeing this, the five people in charge of invigilating the exam nodded.

The fat-faced monk took back the three copper coins that Li Mo took out. The pale-faced eagle-eyed man received instructions and announced the test results loudly in public.

"Li Mo, passed!"

Li Mo smiled slightly, bowed to the uncles and aunts in charge of the assessment, and left.
