Chapter 49: Rare-Rank Foundation Establishment Dao Technique

Thinking of this, Lin Mo opened his panel directly:

【Cultivation】: Qi Refinement Level 7 (1500/3000)

【Merit Value】: 1100

【Luck Value】: 36

【Spells】:

1. Heavenly Thunder Incantation (Mid-Rank): 1450/2000

2. Kui Xing Stance (Low-Rank): 610/1000

3. Rain Summoning Technique (Low-Rank): 200/1000

4. Fire Control Technique (Low-Rank): 200/1000

5. Basic Sword Art (Low-Rank): 113/1000

……

He ignored the values for spiritual root purity, comprehension, and bone structure that could not be improved.

What could be improved at the moment were nothing more than 【Cultivation】 and 【Spells】.

As cultivation improved, the upper limit of true qi naturally increased as well.

Additionally, increasing the proficiency of 【Spells】 could also add a certain thickness to one's true qi.

Especially after practicing the "Heavenly Thunder Incantation" to the Peak Realm, Lin Mo clearly felt his true qi thickness had increased by at least half a percent.

If he raised it to the Perfect Completion Realm, it would add at least one percent to his true qi value.

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

Her true qi must be much more robust than an ordinary Qi Refinement Perfect Completion.

How much true qi value would that string of Perfect Completion Realm sword arts add?

He slowly withdrew his focus and turned his attention back to the panel.

"It's still unclear how long this Mystical Realm bug can be exploited, so focusing on cultivation is more stable……"

He muttered to himself, directly pouring the 1100 points of Merit Value accumulated on this day of entering the dungeon into his cultivation technique.

【Ding! You have invested 1100 points of Merit into the cultivation technique, Technique Experience +429 (1100*39%)】

As his cultivation experience grew, Lin Mo immediately felt the realm of Qi Refinement Level 7 become much more solid, and the true qi within his body surged by a small margin.

"Not enough, still far from it!"

Lin Mo narrowed his eyes as he looked at the cultivation on the panel, his fingers slightly curling and straightening—

【Merit +1】

He touched the ample "ammunition" in his backpack.

Clearly, what followed would be a true "hard battle"!

……

……

"Swish!"

Another flash of green light streaked across the Immortal Ascension Platform.

"Green grade again!"

Meng Xianzhang looked at the faint light shimmering in the Mirror Flower Water Moon and shook his head slightly, saying: "This should be the last one among the first batch to clear the level."

Principal Zhu also looked at the Mirror Flower Water Moon and said: "It seems three blue lights appeared in this batch, the one with the most added 18 points of extra score."

Feng Xianzhang spoke up: "It was five; you missed two while going to the restroom. The highest one added 20 points."

Principal Zhu gave an awkward smile. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Feng Xianzhang continue: "Going to the restroom too frequently and sweating a lot suggests Yang deficiency. You should walk the stances more often in your daily life to strengthen your physique."

Principal Zhu: "……"

Old Li and Wang Tou glanced at Principal Zhu simultaneously, then turned their heads away at the same time, pretending to look at the scenery.

Meng Xianzhang coughed lightly and said: "Although there are many candidates who cleared the first batch, they can only be said to have barely reached the admission standard. Their strength is ordinary, so naturally, they couldn't farm high-quality Mystical Realm rewards."

After his several explanations of Immortal Examination Mystical Realm knowledge points, even Old Li, who was visiting the Immortal Examination for the first time, knew that only by achieving a higher score in the Mystical Realm settlement was it possible to farm high-quality treasures.

The highest score for candidates clearing the Mystical Realm in the first batch was only a little over 200 points; not a single one exceeded 300.

With total scores ranging between 500 and 700, they were still far from the truly top-tier candidates.

The probability of them farming high-quality secret treasures was naturally much lower.

Old Li hurriedly said:

"Meng Xianzhang said the candidate just now was the last of the first batch. In that case, is it confirmed that Lin Mo will farm the Mystical Realm a second time?"

Mentioning this name, Meng Xianzhang's expression appeared slightly complex, and he then said: "That should be correct."

Old Li breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Having the remaining strength to try again, this kid should be fine."

Whether it was Ye Chen or Lin Mo, their names were still lit up on the Immortal Ranking, and they had not appeared in the first batch.

They must have both chosen to attempt the second trial.

In other words, the three immortal seedlings from Nanshan this year were all secure!

Principal Zhu's awkwardness eased slightly, and a smile appeared on his face:

"Now let's see whose score is higher, Ye Chen's or Lin Mo's, and whether Chu Wange can hold onto this first place."

Old Li waved his hand and said: "Hey, Lin Mo is just having great luck this time. As long as he can pass the line, how can he compare to Ye Chen!"

Principal Zhu nodded, clearly agreeing with this statement.

Ye Chen had already become famous in Nanshan three years ago; despite his average aptitude, he defied the odds to become one of the few immortal seedlings in Nanshan.

As for Lin Mo, he had only risen to prominence in the last month or so. Although he was also blessed with luck, he had already been examined by Meng Xianzhang last time and hadn't even reached the threshold of the lowest-tier Child of Luck, so naturally, he couldn't compare to Ye Chen.

In fact, even now, Principal Zhu still felt that Lin Mo was a bargain he had picked up.

Mainly, he hadn't expected that Chu Wange could "buy one get one free."

Meng Xianzhang sighed with emotion:

"That Little Friend Lin could make it to this step is indeed surprising. According to my estimate……"

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

Principal Zhu smiled and encouraged: "Meng Xianzhang, please speak freely. To have reached this point, we are already very satisfied."

It wasn't because of that…… Meng Xianzhang coughed, thought for a moment, and still said:

"Little Friend Lin likely performed ordinarily in the first round and wanted to try the second round, which is quite common in the Immortal Examination."

Some candidates might not be aware that they could adjust their state before the Mystical Realm reopened, so they exited directly upon seeing their true qi was mostly depleted.

A few clever ones, knowing they could exploit the time before the reopening, naturally possessed the opportunity to try again.

Top-tier candidates like Chu Wange would all farm three times and then take the highest score for settlement.

"So, does that mean Lin Mo and Ye Chen won't be out until tomorrow at the earliest?"

Old Li asked again.

Meng Xianzhang shook his head and said:

"That's not necessarily true. The clearing time for the second round depends on the candidates' rest time, but tomorrow afternoon at the earliest, and tomorrow morning at the latest."

"The third round follows the same logic; the day after tomorrow at the earliest, and if it's the slowest…… then it will have to wait until the 6th or even the 7th day of the Mystical Realm."

Not counting today, there were still 5 days of examination at the slowest.

Principal Zhu finally understood; Ye Chen and Lin Mo might not stay for the full five days, but Chu Wange indeed had the probability of staying for five days.

Meng Xianzhang said:

"According to my estimate, these two little friends, Lin Mo and Ye Chen, should appear on the third day of the Mystical Realm, which is tomorrow."

"With similar cultivation, the second time should be enough to reach his own limit."

Old Li cupped his hands and said politely: "It's all thanks to the Xianzhang's clarification; otherwise, I would have been worrying about this kid Lin Mo the whole time."

Meng Xianzhang waved his hand: "Not at all, not at all."

Feng Xianzhang looked with confusion at the atmosphere around him, which seemed harmonious yet excluded him.

Did I say something wrong again?

……

……

The third day of the Immortal Examination Mystical Realm, at dusk.

A blue light suddenly lit up on the Immortal Ascension Platform, immediately drawing gasps from the surrounding students.

On the Mirror Flower Water Moon, Old Li, who had been staring fixedly at the screen, suddenly exclaimed:

"It's Ye Chen, he's out!"

Meng Xianzhang and Feng Xianzhang, who were meditating, slowly opened their eyes and looked into the Mirror Flower Water Moon.

They saw Ye Chen holding an ancient book glowing with blue light high above his head; although he was covered in dust, his expression was full of joy, and he finally let out a long roar toward the sky.

The surrounding candidates were also attracted by the commotion, and upon seeing the Dao book in his hand, they all revealed expressions of envy.

Meng Xianzhang looked at the blue light on the Immortal Ascension Platform and smiled, saying:

"It's a blue-grade treasure, and it's also……"

Feng Xianzhang's eyes lit up and he took over: "A Rare-Rank Foundation Establishment Dao Technique!"
