Chapter 66: True Extreme Flame! Both short and punchy!

When the glow on the dome gradually dissipated, Lin Mo also slowly opened his eyes from meditation, and the 20 points of Comprehension bonus on his face also disappeared.

His gaze looked at the progress bar on the panel:

【Five-Spirit Dao Body】: 1626/10000

Very well, the progress had already exceeded one-tenth.

If he were a bit more diligent with clicking 1 every day, it would probably take another dozen days or so to max out the proficiency value of the 【Five-Spirit Dao Body】.

Why would Foundation Establishment take a hundred days?

Lin Mo's mouth curled up slightly.

Clearly, this was a wealthy battle!

However, compared to the progress of the 【Five-Spirit Dao Body】, the refining of the 【True Extreme Flame】 seemed to be progressing slowly.

Just right, he ended his meditation state, and a system prompt sounded in his ear:

【Ding, meditation ended! True Extreme Flame refined slightly, Fire-type Spirit Root purity ratio improved: 43%→43.1%】

While looking at the panel prompt, he stretched out his finger, and with a "poof" sound, a small flame emerged from his fingertip.

This was the 【True Extreme Flame】 that had been partially refined; he could feel a trace of warmth at his fingertip, and other than that, the panel did not show anything special.

"Could it be that it hasn't been fully refined yet? Besides improving spirit root aptitude, this True Extreme Flame should have other uses now... That old fogey Yan Nanfeng left too quickly and didn't explain..."

He complained in his heart.

The refining speed of the Heavenly-Rank spiritual item 【True Extreme Flame】 was a bit slower than imagined.

Currently, only about 10% of the 【True Extreme Flame】 had been refined, increasing the Fire Spirit Root purity value by about 4.2%, and it would still take a long time to fully refine it.

"I wonder how long it will take to fully refine the 【True Extreme Flame】..."

Currently, it seems that the ratio of refining spiritual items to increase purity is diminishing.

In other words, the further the purity ratio increases, the more spiritual items are needed to be consumed.

He was not in a hurry, after all, refining could not be accelerated with Merit Points.

Forget it, I'll meditate when I get back to the room...

With a thought, Lin Mo retracted the flame at his fingertip and then slowly stood up from the cushion.

But just as he stood up, he felt a bit of regret.

Because everything around was silent, not a sound to be heard.

Although the glow was gone, the immortal seedlings on the ninth-level Enlightenment Platform were still in a state of sudden enlightenment, their bodies glowing with various colors, looking very cool.

Except for him, no one stood up.

Lin Mo suddenly felt the awkwardness of everyone being in class, but only he stood up when the bell rang.

Just as he was considering whether to sit back down, suddenly a "crack" sound came, and a slight noise reached his ears.

Immediately after, he turned his head to look and saw a freshman behind him also stand up.

The two looked at each other, as if they were brothers in misfortune who had found "skipping class," and with a tacit understanding, they stood on tiptoe and carefully walked down the Enlightenment Platform together.

Only after walking a hundred meters away from the Enlightenment Platform did the two breathe a slight sigh of relief.

The scene suddenly fell into silence, and Lin Mo cupped his hands and said, "Brother, may I ask your name?"

The freshman scratched his head and said, "Uh, the one who was squeezed out of the top ten by you..."

A name instantly appeared in Lin Mo's mind: "Long A?"

Only then did he notice that although this freshman was relatively short, only about 1.6 meters tall, and his face looked slightly honest, his build was sturdy, and even his loose Daoist robe was stretched into the shape of muscles.

He looked both short and punchy.

Long A nodded: "It's me."

After speaking, he looked at Lin Mo and said, "I know you, Lin Mo."

Not just him, there was probably no one among this year's immortal examinees who didn't know Lin Mo.

After all, everyone had waited for him the longest back at the Ascension Platform; it would be hard not to know him.

Now, the title "Chu Wange's pretty boy" was basically impossible to shake off.

It would have been better not to ask... Lin Mo gave a dry laugh, just about to say goodbye, when he heard Long A take the initiative to extend an invitation:

"Brother Lin Mo, you stood up so early, you must have been sitting for so long that your butt went numb, right? Let's find a place to practice body cultivation together?"

If I say I'm going back to my residence, would it seem like I'm slacking off too much?

Lin Mo thought to himself, and after thinking about it, he didn't refuse.

He had been in seclusion for the past few days, and after sitting for so long, his body was indeed a bit soft; practicing stance training with someone else to stretch his body was a good idea.

"Alright, then let's walk a few steps together?"

He said so, where can't I click 1?

Even in a meditation state, his fingers had never stopped.

Lin Mo and Long A walked forward, walking down from below the ninth-level Enlightenment Platform.

Although the entire Enlightenment Cliff stood above the distant sea, it was definitely not a place inaccessible to people or sparsely populated.

On the contrary, every year when the season of the hundred-day glow arrived at the Enlightenment Cliff, countless cultivators stuck at the ninth level of Qi Refinement would arrive one after another.

You couldn't tell on this side of the Enlightenment Cliff, but the other side could be described as a sea of people, extremely lively.

There were also quite a few cultivators who held the status of ordinary academy disciples but had been stuck at the ninth level of Qi Refinement.

This group of people neither had the courage to face the lightning tribulation nor were they willing to give up the opportunity to pursue longevity.

Almost every year, they would come to go through the motions, admire the demeanor of those who had ascended, and attempt to find that sliver of opportunity to break through and achieve Dao and ascend.

Of course, the top three levels occupied by the Nine Great Academies were isolated from the bustling market below and were forbidden from being disturbed.

It was just that the necessary courtyards, pavilions, and small buildings still existed.

As a freshman who had ascended to the ninth level, Lin Mo even enjoyed a separate small courtyard, located not far from the Enlightenment Platform steps.

In addition, the residences of the team leaders of the Nine Great Academies were also on this side.

After Lin Mo and Long A walked down, they found an open space near the small courtyard.

The orientation was just the opposite of the Enlightenment Platform behind; looking forward, it was high sky and wide clouds, an endless sea of clouds.

Six hours after the glow, the sun was at its peak, and standing at the top of the cliff, one could feel the direct sun from the dome.

However, neither of them were weak cultivators at the early stage of Qi Refinement, so this bit of sun was nothing to them.

After arriving at the place, Long A didn't have any extra pleasantries, just nodded to Lin Mo, and then walked to the open space on the side to start stance training.

Lin Mo didn't move immediately, but wanted to see what exactly was different about the stance training of a body cultivator compared to an ordinary Qi cultivator.

What's more, the person in front of him was a leader among the body cultivators in this year's Immortal Ranking.

He saw the other party stand still, focusing his Qi in his dantian.

A moment later, he stepped forward violently—

"Hey!"

"Ha!"

"Ho!"

Lin Mo: "..."

He twitched his mouth; that familiar shout almost made him dream back to Shahe Park.

Of course, compared to those grandpas and grandmas, Long A's dragon-like and tiger-like steps, walking step by step, were astonishing in momentum, definitely not something ordinary people could compare to.

It was just a bit too plain and unadorned...

Those prodigies on the ninth-level Enlightenment Platform had visions appear when comprehending the Dao foundation, which was breathtaking.

Even Lin Mo himself had five-colored rainbow light appear around his body when practicing the 【Five-Spirit Dao Body】, but Long A had nothing on him.

No wonder there are fewer and fewer people practicing body cultivation in modern times... ===== CHAPTER 67 =====
