Daily cultivation task refreshed. Accept task (White): Meditate for one hour?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Reward: Breathing count +1】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still just the useless white task…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo let out a dry, expressionless chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daily cultivation tasks refreshed precisely at 8 a.m. each day, offering rewards corresponding to their quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But most students’ daily tasks were always white; occasionally, a green task would appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Higher-quality tasks? Pure luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo occasionally got one or two green tasks a month, but after over six years in Qi Refining, he’d only ever received one blue-quality daily task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the Merit Fish and experience gains, that had been his most unforgettable experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That task rewarded him with a vial of Grade 1 Qi Refining Powder; after consuming it, his experience surged by 10 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too bad—it happened only once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that his luck was terrible; most Qi Refining students were the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, Zhang Da had never once pulled a blue task, and over half his classmates were just like him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Ye Chen, who held the title 【Child of Fortune】, had a higher chance of drawing high-quality tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why he’d rapidly climbed from the bottom of the class to the top five in the entire school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a pity—merit points aren’t fortune. If they were, I could just swallow pills every day and reach late Qi Refining!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo shook his head, cleared his mind of distractions, clicked to accept the task, and smoothly entered meditation; his Qi Refining Scripture began to slowly circulate:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Ding! Meditation started…】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the system notification floated up, followed by a long string of ellipses… ellipses…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still ellipses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About an hour later, after countless ellipses, a number finally appeared—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【One breath, experience +0.02…】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Daily task completed. Reward: One breath, experience +0.02】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“???”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the same unchanged number, Lin Mo’s mind filled with question marks:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t I already at Qi Refining Level 3? Why hasn’t my experience gain changed at all?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh right—my talent hasn’t improved. Never mind then…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, Lin Mo had long grown accustomed to this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the reality of a Five Element Mixed Spirit Root; the nationwide #108 Five Element Qi Refining Scripture crawled like an ox dragging a cart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, he might have tolerated it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Ding! You invested 100 merit points into the Metal Spirit Root. The Metal Spirit Root received slight improvement: Purity ratio: 22.1% → 23.1%】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not enough. Again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo mentally directed another 100 merit points into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Ding! Invested 100 merit points. Metal Spirit Root received slight improvement: Purity ratio: 23.1% → 24.1%】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo’s eyes lit up; compared to his original Metal Spirit Root, its purity had now increased by 2.1%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surely his cultivation speed would skyrocket now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed his eyes and plunged back into meditation. An hour later:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【One breath, experience +0.021…】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo opened his eyes, a flicker of confusion and bewilderment in them:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why does it feel worse than just directly investing merit points into experience?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the long run, investing merit points into the spirit root was actually more efficient—and there was still a month until the Immortal Exam…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget it. Slow is slow. I already messed up once this morning. Suffer now, reap later. Suffer now, reap later…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo muttered to himself, trying to hypnotize his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, he closed his eyes again and re-entered meditation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, his thumb never stopped tapping:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Merit points +1, Merit points +1, Merit points +1…】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The merit points on the data screen steadily accumulated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In about an hour, he’d gathered 60 merit points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his current spirit root conversion rate, that equaled 12 experience points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Add the 0.021 from meditation, and it totaled 12.021 experience points—wasn’t that far more impressive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never before had he experienced such a delightful meditation session!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the accumulation of merit points, Lin Mo felt utterly at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three hours later…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Ding! Your cultivation room time has expired. Please leave immediately.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold notification cut his meditation short; after a series of “beep-beep-beep” alerts, the room’s door slowly slid open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Phew!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo exhaled deeply and broke his meditation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether due to psychology or not, he always felt this session had been smoother than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the experience gain on his panel hadn’t changed much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kept tapping his thumb, then stood up to vacate the seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you dawdling for? Time is spiritual energy—every second you waste costs others precious time!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A female classmate rushed in impatiently, showing no mercy despite Lin Mo’s handsome face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go ahead, take it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo kept tapping his thumb as he rose to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl was about to complain, but then noticed his moving fingers—her expression instantly turned strange, and the words died on her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Lin Mo walked out with a blank face, the girl glanced at the reed mat beneath her, sniffed the air, and blushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft! Pervert!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She muttered under her breath, watching his retreating back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin Mo didn’t notice her expression; he turned and walked out gracefully, even politely closing the door behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turn right, go upstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Floors five through ten housed ordinary cultivation rooms without spiritual veins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the lower two floors’ spiritual energy rooms, these felt far more spacious; no long queues lined the corridors, and vacant single rooms were easy to find.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo picked one at random, pushed open the door, and stepped inside—familiar decor greeted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No different from the spiritual energy rooms: just an empty room with a hard reed mat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary cultivation rooms, like the spiritual ones, were equipped with ventilation systems and soundproofing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a soundproof array, but simply rooms built with sound-dampening materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to ancient cultivators, modern cultivators were far more economical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumor had it that even the lowest-tier soundproof array required a lower-grade spirit stone—and its effect wasn’t much better than a soundproof room, nor was it durable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fake spirit stones with impurities cost 100,000 apiece; even a pure lower-grade spirit stone cost at least 200,000 to 300,000—enough to outfit dozens of soundproof cultivation rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gratitude to General Chen for inventing the first soundproof Immortal Vessel!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo silently gave him a mental thumbs-up, then sat down and activated his cultivation technique:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Ding!
