Chapter 23: Application Requirements for the Nine Great Dao Academies

Grade 12 teachers' office.

Li Xiang rubbed his sore shoulders while looking at Lin Mo in front of him with an unkind face, and said:

"Tell me, what exactly is going on?"

Lin Mo's expression was slightly puzzled: "What?"

Li Xiang sneered: "Zhang Da has already confessed to me, saying that you deliberately slipped away early."

*This grandson betrayed grandpa! *

Lin Mo cursed inwardly, squeezed out a wry smile on his face, and said:

"Li Laoshi, Immortal Master Nong Qing didn't seem to take a fancy to me."

Li Xiang chuckled and directly exposed his lie: "Immortal Master Nong Qing told me personally that he intended to recruit you into Xuanyuan Dao Academy. Still pretending!?"

*This old guy knows so clearly... * Lin Mo secretly thought it was bad. It seemed that today he was going to be lectured until the end of the evening self-study.

Only to hear Li Xiang continue to output:

"Don't you know your own aptitude? Being able to be recommended to Xuanyuan Dao Academy is already accumulating virtue from your ancestors!"

"Taking a step back, even if Immortal Master Nong Qing had the intention to test Ye Chen with you, that was still a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Regardless of whether it's a blind cat or a dead cat, a cat that can catch a mouse is a good cat!"

Speaking of this, his gaze gradually became serious:

"The immortal path is long. Don't ruin a hard-won opportunity because of a moment of anger. Only after truly stepping on the path of cultivation do you have the qualification to fight for the future."

Lin Mo, who was originally preparing to activate the skill "Yin God Out of Body," was suddenly silenced by the "Sincerity" skill activated by the other party.

As he spoke, Li Xiang's tone became excited:

"When Ye Chen first entered Class 10 three years ago, who could have imagined that he would obtain the title of 【Child of Luck】?"

"You are the same. Don't say three years ago, even three hours ago, I didn't expect your Immortal Exam score to reach 455 points, and you were spotted by the Dao Academy's Immortal Master. Do you know how much blessing this is..."

Lin Mo suddenly remembered the rumors about Old Li. It is said that the latter was only one point away from the admission line of the Immortal Exam that year.

Perhaps if he had stayed up a few more days before the exam, that point would have been gained.

Old Li wouldn't be a middle-aged old guy in an ordinary high school, but a cultivator with a face as young as Lin Mo's.

The reason he valued Ye Chen so much might be because the luck he lacked back then was overflowing in a 【Child of Luck】 like Ye Chen.

Now, there was one more Lin Mo in the class.

Li Xiang was excited and a bit angry: "You, you must cherish your talent well. No, it's your dog shit luck!"

How "good" Lin Mo's talent actually was, Nong Qing might not know, but as his homeroom teacher for three years, he naturally knew it clearly.

Why he broke through two levels in a short time, and even practiced Kui Xing Stance to the Peak Realm, it naturally wasn't realistic to say there was no blessing.

However, in the cultivation world, asking about cultivation realm, or even probing Spirit Root and comprehension, these didn't count as anything, but one must never probe the other party's opportunity.

This was a conventional rule in the cultivation world, intended to prevent some cultivators who had ulterior motives for opportunities.

Therefore, Li Xiang didn't ask too much about how Lin Mo suddenly broke through to Qi Refining Level 4.

In the era of great cultivation, opportunities and blessings happened every day, which wasn't strange.

Lin Mo looked at Old Li, who was flushed with excitement, chuckled, handed over the thermos cup with goji berries on the table, and said:

"Li Laoshi, drink some water to calm your anger. I had my own considerations for slipping away."

Old Li glared at him: "What considerations? Refusing Xuanyuan is your consideration?"

After saying this, he snatched the water cup, took a big gulp into his dry throat, and then heard Lin Mo say something shocking:

"Ye Chen wants to take the Nine Great Dao Academies, I also want to try, maybe I'll..."

"Pfft!"

Old Li spat out the goji berries in his mouth, widened his eyes and said:

"Are you panting just because I called you fat?"

"Ye Chen is a Child of Luck, and now his cultivation has improved to Qi Refining Level 7, so naturally he can try the Nine Great Dao Academies. What about you?"

"You, a Qi Refining Level 4, still want to take the Nine Great Dao Academies? You can do it if you pad your pillow high at night, hmph!"

Old Li looked at him with a cold sneer.

*Just now he was a kind middle-aged guy giving earnest teachings, how come the painting style changed suddenly... * Lin Mo muttered in his heart, but couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Li Laoshi, are there any special requirements for applying to the Nine Great Dao Academies?"

Old Li saw that he still wouldn't give up, and pointed at him with hatred for not being able to become steel:

"You kid, are you not going to shed tears until you see the coffin?"

He put the cup on the table, snorted and said:

"Then I'll tell you, the most basic requirement to apply for the Nine Great Dao Academies is..."

"Qi Refining Level 7."

Lin Mo nodded, his expression calm: "Oh, so that's how it is..."

Old Li was stunned. The surprised expression he imagined didn't appear. Lin Mo didn't seem to regret his decision in the Immortal Exam this afternoon as much as he had expected.

*This kid really doesn't know the height of the sky and the depth of the earth... *

Even Old Li, who had taught for many years, had a headache about Lin Mo.

Let alone a self-abandoning bastard like Zhang Da, as long as the other party didn't affect other students, it was fine.

But a smart student like Lin Mo was the most difficult to handle when he became stubborn.

Old Li also felt tired at this moment and said:

"People still have to be down-to-earth. Although your score is quite good in Nanshan, looking at the million Immortal Exam candidates in the entire Qinzhou, it can only be said to be medium-to-low level."

"You have to know that many Dao Academies have strict requirements not only for the Immortal Exam score but also for Spirit Root, comprehension, Root Bone, etc., when recruiting students."

"You should know very well what giving up the recommended admission to Xuanyuan Dao Academy means. I'm too lazy to repeat it."

"Go back and think about it carefully yourself. The Nine Great Dao Academies can't be brushed into just by relying on your face."

*Suddenly praising people... * Lin Mo bowed to Old Li and said:

"Thank you for your teaching, Li Laoshi. I know, I will consider it carefully."

Old Li's earnest words were naturally not intended to mock Lin Mo.

On the contrary, he knew smart students like Lin Mo very well.

No amount of persuasion would work; he could only put the pros and cons in front of him and let him go back and think about it carefully.

"Alright, go back and rest well. Remember to give me an accurate answer tomorrow."

Old Li waved his hand and said so.

Watching Lin Mo perform a Daoist salute, then turn and disappear at the office door, he shook his head helplessly.

The middle-aged bald man watching the show beside him smiled and said:

"Old Li, don't be angry. This kid is very smart, he will definitely be able to figure it out."

Speaking of this, he revealed an envious expression:

"I'm really envious. First Ye Chen, and now Lin Mo. You really made a fortune. Your bonus should double again this year!"

Mentioning the bonus, Li Xiang's expression eased a little, and then he smiled at him and said:

"Can it be higher than yours?"

The middle-aged bald man sighed and said:

"Don't make fun of me. Zhu Hongyuan didn't get spotted even when he went to someone else's front, unlike the two in your class who rejected the Immortal Master twice."

Li Xiang chuckled: "Let's not mention Zhu Hongyuan first. That person is in your class. I heard that she rejected more than a dozen recommended admission invitations from Dao Academies some time ago!"

Speaking of this, the teachers who were originally silent beside him also joined the discussion.

"Old Li, your news is outdated. I heard that a few days ago, the Baihua Dao Sect of the Nine Great Dao Academies came to the door, and she rejected it all the same."

"Rejecting the recommended admission invitation of the Nine Great Dao Academies, tsk tsk, this is the first time since our Nanshan school was built, it's incredible."

"Compared to Old Li, Wang Tou is the one who really hit the jackpot, actually picking up such a treasure. It really makes me jealous!"

"By the way, I heard that the admissions teachers from the Qingshan Sect and Wendao Institute will come to the school tomorrow. This time, that person should confirm which Dao Academy she will go to."

"..."

Everyone discussed one after another.

The middle-aged bald man had a faint smile on his face, occasionally being humble.

*Very good, finally started discussing our class. *

Zhu Hongyuan, whom he had always valued, was actually suppressed by the two boys in Old Li's class, which made him feel quite unhappy in his heart.

No matter how excellent the two boys in Class 10 were, they were just two "lucky ones."

Only the "precious treasure" in his class was the real genius.

Whether it was Ye Chen or Lin Mo, they weren't in the same grade as her.

The middle-aged bald man looked at Old Li beside him, a flash of imperceptible smugness in his eyes.

As long as this "precious treasure" was in hand, then next year's elite class would still be in his pocket.

*Old Li, what do you have to compare with me! *

Li Xiang, who was looked at by him, didn't notice, but scratched his head, always feeling that he had forgotten something important.

A few minutes later, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and slapped his thigh.

*Damn, forgot to let that kid return the red envelope! * ===== CHAPTER 24 =====
