Chapter 41: One step across the void, asking the path to longevity

The number of Immortal Examination candidates in the entire Rongcheng who could participate in the Nine Great Dao Academies was even fewer than Lin Mo had estimated.

Rongcheng had about two hundred specialized high schools for cultivating Immortal Examination candidates, and on average, not even one Immortal Examination candidate could come out of ten high schools.

No, if Nanshan No. 4 Middle School was deducted, perhaps one couldn't come out of fifteen high schools.

In fact, what Lin Mo didn't know was that even Nanshan No. 4 Middle School, which ranked in the top five in Sichuan Province, had exploded this year.

In previous years, it was considered quite good to be able to stably produce one immortal seedling above Level 7 Qi Refinement per session.

Qingchen Daoist Temple didn't make the Immortal Examination candidates wait too long; in order not to affect the time of the Immortal Examination, seeing that the number of people was almost complete, the staff responsible for the teleportation array began to check tickets.

Immortal Examination candidates took their candidate credentials and entered one by one.

Lin Mo also honestly lined up at the back, looking at the teleportation array in front with curiosity.

Ye Chen, who deliberately fell several positions behind him, although he had a cold face, also revealed a look of exploration in his eyes.

But relatively speaking, the expressions of most Immortal Examination candidates at the scene seemed very normal, obviously having long been accustomed to the teleportation array in the temple.

Lin Mo also noticed this point; the attire of these Immortal Examination candidates was also different from theirs.

At a glance, one knew that the attire of most Immortal Examination candidates wasn't ordinary Daoist robes; some complicated Dao patterns were engraved on them, obviously all "krypton gold party."

He sighed in his heart.

Sure enough, cultivation is just like what Immortal Master Meng of the Asking Dao Academy said, inseparable from the four words "wealth, law, companion, land."

Most Immortal Examination candidates who could participate in the Immortal Examination, even if their families weren't immortal second generations like Zhu Hongyuan, should be merchants who were doing well in the mortal world.

Not to mention other things, things like spirit energy cultivation rooms shouldn't be lacking, and occasionally collecting a few Qi Refinement powders on the market could also significantly improve cultivation speed.

Compared to this, Lin Mo's attire seemed much more "shabby."

And at this moment, he finally understood a little why Ye Chen couldn't stand Zhu Hongyuan back then.

The families of this group of Immortal Examination candidates were probably much richer than the rich guy Zhang Dahai, all rich guys...

He complained in his heart while walking forward, and soon it was his turn.

After seeing the student ID he presented, the staff made a Daoist salute and said:

"Wish you to be on the immortal list, fish turning into dragon, immortal path successful!"

Lin Mo also returned a salute: "Many thanks."

"Please stand in the array pattern."

The staff opened the protective fence and guided Lin Mo to the center of the magic array.

Lin Mo looked for a long time, but didn't study anything from the array pattern on the ground, and then saw the staff take out a stone emitting a faint white light and put it in the middle of the control instrument.

He widened his eyes instantly, holy crap, pseudo-spirit stone...

Before the thought was finished, his eyes blurred, and his vision fell into a dizzying spin.

Opening his eyes again, Lin Mo hadn't had time to look at the surroundings, and his body subconsciously made a retching sound:

"Yue~!"

He clutched his chest; this feeling was just as uncomfortable as riding a drop tower ten times in a row and being swung by a big pendulum dozens of times.

"This is the teleportation that costs 100,000 once? Bad review!"

He eased for a long while before relieving himself from the discomfort.

Only at this moment did he look up at the surroundings.

Only then did he find that he was already on a wide diamond-shaped high platform, with a towering stone pillar standing in each of the four directions, immortal energy floating above it, like a fairyland, and bottomless below it, making people look and feel cold.

Lin Mo opened his eyes slightly, and a magnificent aura rushed toward his face; the discomfort just now instantly faded by more than half.

No, this is... spirit energy?

His eyes were slightly surprised; the spirit energy on the high platform was abundant, not even worse than the Rank 1 Green Spirit Energy Cultivation Room of No. 4 Middle School.

Lin Mo took a deep breath; if the occasion wasn't wrong, he almost wanted to sit cross-legged directly and fiercely freeload this natural "spirit energy cultivation room."

"This is..."

"Ascension Platform!"

Before coming, he had "absorbed" the information about the Heavenly Dao Immortal Examination given by Old Li fiercely, ensuring that no bit of information would be left behind.

One step across the void, asking the path to longevity.

The so-called Ascension Platform was the "examination hall" where Qi Refinement cultivators accepted the Heavenly Dao assessment.

This was also the receiving platform for Jiuzhou cultivators to step onto the true path of cultivation a thousand years ago.

Diyuan Jiuzhou, a total of nine seats.

And Lin Mo was on the Ascension Platform of Qinzhou at this time.

Looking around, all the Immortal Examination candidates above Level 7 Qi Refinement in the entire Sichuan Province were here.

Thousands, or has it already reached ten thousand...

In short, the number of people increased all at once.

Although the number of immortal seedlings in Rongcheng was less than twenty, the total number of immortal seedlings in the entire Sichuan Province barely exceeded one hundred.

But in the hundred provinces of Qinzhou, Sichuan Province could only be considered a second-tier province among them.

Looking at the entire Qinzhou, even if it was a small base of geniuses, the number would become considerable.

Lin Mo could finally shout this time: "So many people!"

Not only that, just after being teleported here, he felt countless gazes cast toward him, and a vague sense of oppression gradually attacked.

It wasn't just him who would be watched like this, but all the immortal seedlings who were teleported over.

These thousands of immortal seedlings, almost everyone could become the other party's competitor.

And those who could become immortal seedlings, without exception, were all the best among their peers.

Lin Mo, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly felt full of pressure, and a vague tense atmosphere spread from the crowd.

"Hmph, bumpkin!"

Ye Chen beside him looked at his series of reactions just now and complained disdainfully.

Do you want to wipe the soy milk foam from the corners of your mouth before speaking?

Lin Mo pulled the corners of his mouth expressionlessly, not wanting to remind him.

"Chu Wange is here!"

Suddenly, an exclamation came.

Everyone subconsciously cast their gazes, and Lin Mo was naturally the same.

Only then did he see a familiar bright red Daoist robe appear in his field of vision, a simple and clean tied Daoist bun, a most ordinary standard Daoist sword hanging at her waist, and between her movements, there seemed to be turbulent waves under the wide Daoist robe.

Clearly there was no outstanding behavior, but she attracted everyone's sight the moment she appeared.

"That's Chu Wange from Sichuan Province, the top genius expected to compete for the Immortal List this year!?"

"Eyebrows like distant mountains, sword energy condensed, sure enough, the person is like a sword!"

"Have you heard? The Qingshan Sect and the Asking Dao Academy looked for her before the Immortal Examination, and I don't know which Dao Academy she finally chose."

"These two are both Dao Academies famous for sword cultivation majors; choosing either one wouldn't be surprising, it's just that many people say that once she makes a choice, the Dao Academy she doesn't choose will likely be suppressed by the other's sword Dao luck for at least ten years."

"Hiss~! So exaggerated?"

"Not exaggerated at all, Sichuan land is prone to sword cultivators, and Chu Wange is known as the strongest sword cultivator embryo in Sichuan Province in the last ten years, worthy of this statement."

"Sword cultivator embryo, really envious!"

"..."

Chu Wange was actually so famous in Sichuan Province!?

Lin Mo heard the discussions coming from around him, and only then was he surprised to find that his evaluation of Chu Wange in his heart was still too low.

After hearing these words, Ye Chen beside him straightened his waist slightly, as if he felt honored.

After all, whether it was Lin Mo or him, they were both wearing Daoist robes with the label of Nanshan No. 4 Middle School.

And Chu Wange, who had just been teleported not far away, patrolled the surroundings, finally noticed Lin Mo standing in the corner, and stepped toward this side.

"Holy crap, she's coming toward me!"

Someone beside him exclaimed.

Eh!? A familiar scene... Lin Mo glanced at the excited male compatriots around.

At this time, Chu Wange had already walked in front of him and said: "Here?"

Lin Mo's mouth cornered, nodded: "Mm, here." ===== CHAPTER 42 =====
