Didn’t you already mention Lin Xiao’s guaranteed admission? Why didn’t you explain the benefits?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Gu Ling’s gaze swept toward him, a flicker of contempt in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who was it just moments ago whispering that this “Lin Mo” must never be admitted to the Dao Academy—and now changes his tune so quickly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he wouldn’t expose Yan Nanfeng’s hypocrisy to his face; after all, he’d said plenty of behind-the-back jabs about Lin Mo too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After putting on a show, Yan Nanfeng turned back to Lin Mo and explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe, Lin Xiao, this is our Qingshan Sect’s oversight—but I assure you, Qingshan’s guaranteed admission benefits rank among the top tier even among the Nine Great Dao Academies, no worse than any other.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Ling quickly added: “Our Wenda Academy is the same.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Nanfeng shot him a glare—why are you everywhere?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo glanced at Yan Nanfeng, then at Gu Ling, understanding dawning—he didn’t respond directly, but turned to Chu Wange and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wange, have you decided which Dao Academy you’ll join?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wange”—such an intimate address… Yan Nanfeng and Gu Ling exchanged glances; this term confirmed their earlier suspicions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Wange shook her head: “Not yet. I’m waiting for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her concise reply sparked even more speculation in both men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This little couple is sweet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Nanfeng smiled faintly, then immediately realized something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To recruit Chu Wange, he’d have to “buy off” Lin Mo?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Lin Mo’s significance was no longer merely that of a guaranteed admit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoever secured him would secure this year’s Immortal Exam Top Graduate!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Nanfeng glanced at Gu Ling across from him; the other’s eyes flickered—he’d realized it too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good news: This year’s Immortal Exam Top Graduate comes with a free bonus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bad news: There’s competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Nanfeng cleared his throat and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If Lin Xiao joins Qingshan Sect, I’ll personally offer you one thousand sect contribution points as an extra reward.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Ling immediately followed: “Same here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Heh, trying to steal?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Nanfeng looked at Gu Ling; the latter raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Try me?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Nanfeng snorted and turned back to Lin Mo: “Beyond contribution points, I’ll also gift you a cultivation blessing pouch containing ten Taiqing Pills.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Ling didn’t lag behind: “Same here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, this isn’t just the first dungeon resource he’d pulled?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo clearly remembered that blue-rank dungeon resource—he never expected Yan Nanfeng would offer it outright as a reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good thing I didn’t pick it back then… he thought inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it seemed his late-night grinding hadn’t been in vain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, even if he’d cleared the Immortal Exam dungeon, the academy recruiters wouldn’t have invested this much effort or resources into him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Nanfeng frowned deeply, hesitated a long while, then gritted his teeth and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qingshan Sect will also grant you a rank-two mid-grade small spiritual vein!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Ling: “I also… damn!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Ling looked up at Yan Nanfeng—how ruthless is that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenda Academy truly couldn’t match that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that Qingshan Sect had deeper roots than Wenda Academy—it was that Qingshan’s former Sect Master had seized a large, rank-four spiritual vein in the dungeon, of exceptionally high quality, rare among the Nine Great Dao Academies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spiritual veins had always been one of Qingshan’s recruitment advantages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Nanfeng quickly added: “Lin Xiao, think carefully—your five-element spiritual roots may be manageable in Qi Refining, but once you reach Foundation Establishment, your resource consumption will be several times that of single- or dual-element cultivators.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To ensure he understood, he added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A small spiritual vein isn’t just for boosting spiritual energy—it also produces spirit stones monthly and nourishes spirit fields… countless benefits.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In short, a rank-two mid-grade small spiritual vein can save you ten years of hard work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing this, Lin Mo felt oddly like he was about to be kept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Chu Wange beside him; she nodded: “My father said spiritual veins are crucial.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he didn’t fully grasp Yan Nanfeng’s talk about nourishing spirit fields, the importance of spiritual veins had been clear since Qi Refining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the ordinary cultivation rooms students fought over daily, to the elite ones like Jinding Dao Temple that everyone clamored for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Lin Mo, the message was simple: this thing was valuable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo nodded: “Thank you, Immortal Elder Yan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Nanfeng smiled, about to speak—when Lin Mo turned to Gu Ling: “Immortal Elder Gu, do you have anything else to add?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Nanfeng: “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Ling wanted to add something—but he simply couldn’t afford to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rank-two mid-grade spiritual vein was an absolute game-changer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only sigh helplessly and shake his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s it… Lin Mo then smiled again and turned to Yan Nanfeng, performing a Dao bow:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’m counting on you, Immortal Elder Yan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Chu Wange also bowed: “Then I’m counting on you, Immortal Elder Yan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing their words, Yan Nanfeng’s expression grew complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d secured the Immortal Exam Top Graduate—and a top-ten prospect besides—but somehow, recruiting Lin Mo didn’t feel like a good thing…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the matter settled, Gu Ling sighed and wasted no more time—after brief pleasantries, he exited the barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, the Immortal Exam candidates and recruiting Immortal Masters reacted swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingshan Sect got him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only Lin Mo, ranked in the top ten—but Chu Wange had also been inside, and hadn’t emerged with Gu Ling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did that mean Qingshan Sect would be this year’s biggest winner?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd erupted in excited discussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qingshan Sect crushed it this year—one Top Graduate, one Top Ten!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But Lin Mo’s first-round score was so low—how good could his talent really be?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, his dungeon score seems unreal—he actually got a perfect score!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“True, I get shaky just seeing a beast, and my spells always miss—wish I’d practiced more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could Lin Mo have exceptional comprehension and high spell proficiency?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After thinking it over, that’s the only explanation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a voice rang out: “Hmph, what comprehension? He only got to join the Heavenly Dao Immortal Exam because he clung to someone’s leg.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone turned toward the voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There stood Ye Chen, eyes locked on the barrier ahead, expression dark and unreadable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before anyone could ask for clarification, the Immortal Exam ranking atop the dome began finalizing—a familiar Heavenly Dao system prompt echoed into every candidate’s ears:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Qinzhou’s 1008th Immortal Exam Rankings, published as follows】:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>1.
