Chapter 30

One sentence stirred up a thousand waves.

Even everyone, including homeroom teacher Old Li, revealed a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Since the Great Cultivation Era began, 【Fortune】 has no longer been a secret to the general public.

Those blessed with fortune receive the favor of heaven and earth.

Even if their talent is ordinary, they will eventually achieve something.

Looking at every historical node of the cultivation era, one can almost always find the presence of those with fortune.

Nanshan No. 4 High School has a public Child of Fortune, and that is Ye Chen from Class 10, Grade 3.

Now a second person blessed with fortune has appeared in Class 10, Grade 3?

Not to mention Principal Zhu and Wang Shuo, even Old Li, as the homeroom teacher of Class 10, felt strange in his heart. Could Class 10, Grade 3 be some kind of geomantic treasure land?

A single class actually produced two people with fortune?

You have to know that not to mention Nanshan, even among the millions of immortal candidates in the hundred provinces of Qinzhou every year, the number of Children of Fortune born is countable on one's fingers.

An ancient sage once said in an ancient book that fortune is a destiny determined by heaven, and the number of people with fortune in an era is fixed.

It can be less, but it will never be more.

That is why people with fortune appear so rare and precious.

With the word "fortune," Lin Mo's rapid improvement recently also had a very reasonable explanation—

"It's reasonable for a Child of Fortune to have some encounters, right?"

Old Li realized: "In other words, Lin Mo is also a Child of Fortune?"

Old Li, you really don't understand fortune... Before the Immortal could answer, Lin Mo turned his head and glanced at him.

As he expected, Immortal Meng Xianzhang shook his head slightly and said: "Little friend Lin cannot yet be called a Child of Fortune."

Old Li: "..."

He happened to see Lin Mo's half-smiling gaze again, and his old face couldn't help but flush red as he glared back.

Lin Mo smiled, turned his head back, and asked curiously: "May I ask Immortal Meng, how much fortune value is needed to be called a Child of Fortune?"

Immortal Meng Xianzhang didn't keep it a secret and said:

"Very well, I will explain it to you properly today."

"According to the Heaven's Secret Masters, fortune is a manifestation of the strength of one's destiny. The Heavenly Dao system divides it into four ranks: Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, and Yellow, based on the strength of the fortune."

"Yellow Rank is the threshold for a Child of Fortune."

"And to reach Yellow Rank fortune, one needs 100 points of fortune value. I heard that Nanshan No. 4 High School has a Yellow Rank fortune holder."

Oh, so Ye Chen is a Yellow Rank fortune holder... Old Li thought to himself, coughed, and said:

"Yes, Immortal Meng, this child is also in my class. He is indeed quite excellent. Three years ago, he was just an ordinary child, but he made a comeback in just three years. Now he is already the second-ranked immortal candidate in our school!"

After hearing his words, Immortal Meng Xianzhang nodded with a smile but didn't say much else.

Seeing this, Old Li felt a bit disappointed.

Clearly, the other party didn't take a liking to Ye Chen.

But if they didn't even take a liking to Ye Chen, who is a Yellow Rank fortune holder, then what about Lin Mo, a student who doesn't even count as a Yellow Rank fortune holder? Can he enter the Daoist Academy through Chu Wange's connection?

Only to see Immortal Meng Xianzhang continue:

"I don't mean to cut off little friend Lin's path to seeking the Dao, but the Daoist Academy is different from ordinary Daoist academies. It's fine if your comprehension and bone structure are a bit lacking, but these Five Elements Spiritual Roots..."

Immortal Feng Xianzhang said directly: "The aptitude is too poor. The Qingshan Sect has no Foundation Establishment Dao Technique suitable for you."

Immortal Meng Xianzhang nodded slightly: "That is indeed the case."

However, after saying that, he spoke again:

"How about this, if little friend can break through his realm again before the immortal exam and reach Qi Refinement Level 5, or perhaps Qi Refinement Level 6, I will apply to the academy to let little friend Lin enter the Nine Great Academies as little friend Chu's sword attendant."

Letting me be a dog for Chu Wange... Lin Mo frowned.

As a modern person and a transmigrator, he naturally couldn't accept becoming someone else's servant.

Rather than entering the Nine Great Academies in such a way, he would rather choose an ordinary Daoist academy.

Seemingly seeing Lin Mo's concerns, Immortal Meng Xianzhang explained:

"I know your generation is different from ours, but even a sword attendant is a sword attendant who has entered the Nine Great Academies. How can it be compared to other ordinary Daoist academies?"

His words were filled with a sense of superiority, as if ordinary Daoist academies weren't worth mentioning at all.

Immortal Meng Xianzhang continued:

"In seeking the Great Dao, one can never escape the vulgar 'Wealth, Technique, Companion, Land.' This is the difference between the Nine Great Academies and other Daoist academies. When you are truly fortunate enough to step onto the immortal path in the future, you should understand whether what I said is a fact."

Speaking of this, Lin Mo understood the other party's meaning a little.

Not to mention the distant future, even at the high school stage, it is the same.

The reason Nanshan No. 4 High School, which possesses a Rank 1 spirit vein, is one of the top five high schools in Xichuan Province is not because the principal is good at promoting, but because there are enough spiritual energy cultivation rooms open for students to practice for free.

Without a Rank 1 spirit vein, let alone Chu Wange, even Lin Mo wouldn't apply to Nanshan No. 4 High School.

The immortal path is long. Even if the resources between the two differ only by a little, over ten or a hundred years, it adds up to a significant amount of resources.

But even if Lin Mo vaguely understood these principles and knew that there were countless students in Nanshan who wanted to be a dog for Chu Wange, he still felt disgusted.

As for why?

Buddy has a cheat, can't I eat this bowl of soft rice while standing tall?

If this place doesn't keep me, there's always a place for me elsewhere!

Lin Mo thought to himself, and just as he was about to refuse, Old Li suddenly stood out and said respectfully:

"The Immortal's words make sense. Lin Mo will consider the Immortal's proposal. I will trouble the Immortal with the subsequent matters!"

Old Li, you... Lin Mo frowned. Just as he was about to speak, he noticed Old Li's slightly bent waist and a hint of sycophantic smile that had never appeared on his face before.

Immortal Meng Xianzhang nodded slightly, smiled, turned his head to look at Chu Wange, and said:

"Since little friend Lin's matter is settled, little friend Chu, can we talk about the recommendation?"

With just one sentence, he shifted everyone's attention to Chu Wange.

Mentioning the latter, even Immortal Feng Xianzhang, who had been uninterested, perked up, and his gaze became significantly more serious.

Just as Old Li, quick-witted, was about to pull Lin Mo to retreat quietly, Chu Wange, who hadn't spoken since they came in, suddenly spoke:

"Lin Mo, do you want to be a sword attendant?"

Everyone's tone stalled, and their gazes fell on Lin Mo again.

The latter didn't hesitate and said: "I don't."

Chu Wange nodded, looked at the two Immortals again, and said: "He enters with me, not as a sword attendant."

"This..."

The two Immortals looked at each other, and hesitation appeared on both their expressions.

They had originally thought that Chu Wange hadn't helped Lin Mo speak much, so their "relationship" didn't seem as solid as they had imagined.

Now it seems that's not the case.

This is troublesome...

A hint of conflict emerged in Immortal Meng Xianzhang's heart. The so-called sword attendant was nothing but a disguised "persuasion to quit."

Just then, Lin Mo's expression suddenly showed a hint of "grievance" and then a hint of "concern":

"Wange, wouldn't that be too much trouble for you and the Immortals?"

Immortal Meng Xianzhang's heart tightened, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.

Chu Wange shook her head and said: "Not at all. The teachers are all very kind, they should agree."

After speaking, she looked at the two Immortals.

Lin Mo said in a "tea-like" manner: "Then I'll trouble the 'teachers'!"

He bit the word "teachers" very hard.

This kid, you've gained an advantage and are still acting coy, right?

Immortal Meng Xianzhang's impression of Lin Mo as a "good student" was instantly shattered, and he squeezed out a dry smile: "It... isn't very troublesome."

Immortal Feng Xianzhang on the side also said in a deep voice: "It can be considered."

Lin Mo suddenly understood. So, everything he said just now wasn't as useful as Chu Wange's two sentences?

If he had known this, he could have just laid flat.

A faint, imperceptible smile curled at the corner of his mouth. Chu Wange... you do it yourself.
