Deduct 1 for merit. I am really not a child of luck.

Chapter 102: The Five Spirits Dao Body is Completed! The Fate Flying Sword Appears!
On July 7, the weather was clear, on the nine-story enlightenment platform.

[Ding! You invested 100 merit points in the magical power "Five Spirits Dao Body", experience points +40 (10*40%)]

[Ding! Experience value is full (10000/10000), congratulations on achieving the acquired Taoist body: Five Spirits Taoist body. ]

……

With the investment of the last bit of merit, the brilliant five-colored rainbow light on Lin Mo's body slowly receded, but he felt a warm breath flowing through every inch of his meridians.

Immediately afterwards, a steady stream of true energy overflowed from the Dantian.

"The true essence has increased?"

A light flashed in Lin Mo's eyes, and he lowered his head to look at his body.

Although he couldn't say what had changed, he did feel that he was a little different from before.

how to say?

The body becomes lighter!
Lin Mo carefully felt the changes in his body and could clearly find that the affinity with the five elements had increased a lot.

His mind moved, and he clicked on the detailed introduction of [Five Spiritual Dao Body].

[Five Spirits Dao Body: The control over the five elements of Dao power is enhanced, and the efficiency of practicing the five elements skills and magical powers is enhanced. ]

That's it?

A trace of doubt flashed across Lin Mo's face, and then he tried to drag 100 merit points into the skills panel.

[Ding! You have invested 100 points of merit in the technique, technique experience +62 (100*62%)]

Hiss~ so many!
He was startled at first, but then realized that this was not entirely the bonus of the [Five Spirits Dao Body].

The basic bonus for spiritual root cultivation is 42%, followed by 10% for the Heavenly Golden Light, and finally 10% for the improvement of the [Five Spiritual Body].

It seems that the [Five Spirits Dao Body] is equivalent to a permanent [Heavenly Golden Light]?
Do not!
[Five Spirits Dao Body] has an even wider range of functions than [Heavenly Golden Light]. According to the explanation in the panel introduction, it can also speed up the practice efficiency of the Five Elements magic, which is equivalent to an all-round practice buff.

It’s worth the merit I spent for more than half a month!

Lin Mo showed a satisfied smile.

If it hadn't been for the delay of a few days due to the ring battle, the formation time of [Five Spirits Dao Body] would have been even faster.

The efficiency of practicing martial arts was 62%, which had basically reached the upper-middle level of freshmen in the nine Taoist academies.

Because the spiritual root purity ratio is over 59%, it basically means one has the qualifications of having dual spiritual roots.

Of course, even if they both have dual spiritual roots, there is still a huge gap between the spiritual root qualifications of 60% and 79%.

Among the geniuses who have attained the ninth level of enlightenment, except for him, even those with the lowest spiritual root qualifications, who have dual spiritual roots, have a spiritual root purity ratio of over 70%.

Because of this, they have an absolute advantage over those eighth-level dual-element spiritual root geniuses.

Of course, no matter what, Lin Mo, who has used various means, has reached the baseline of "genius" in terms of cultivation speed.

Moreover, this "genius" is not an ordinary genius as defined by the secular world, but the definition of "genius" by the nine major academies!

"Finally, I can be properly called a 'prodigy'!"

A hint of joy appeared on Lin Mo's face.

He subconsciously wanted to put the remaining several hundred points of merit into the panel, but his eyes accidentally caught a glimpse of red on the panel.

[Fire Spiritual Root (with Strange Fire): 54%]

He paused for a moment and almost forgot about his fire spiritual root.

After refining [True Flame], Lin Mo left the Fire Spirit Root aside and had no time to take care of it for the time being.

When he saw the "54%" purity ratio on the panel, a question popped up in his mind:

After breaking through the bottleneck period, can the Fire Spirit Root still use merit points to continue to improve?

The answer to the question was easy to come by. As he manipulated the merit points into the panel, a prompt was refreshed:
[Ding! You have invested 100 points of merit into the Fire Spiritual Root. The Fire Spiritual Root has been slightly improved. Purity ratio: 54%→54.1%]

Lin Mo looked at the prompt and his heart sank.

Good news: Merit points can continue to improve the fire spirit root.

Bad news: The merit points consumed have increased tenfold.

He wanted to complain about something, but then he changed his mind and realized that the benefits brought by the breakthrough in the purity ratio of his fire spirit root were beyond his imagination.

The improvement of spiritual roots can not only directly improve the aptitude for cultivation, but also provide a basic bonus to the damage of spells.

Just talking about yesterday's ring battle, only the strange fire and the fire spirit root complement each other, which can greatly increase the damage of the spell and suppress Feng Ji and Yan Shaosheng at the same time.

If the fire spirit itself is rubbish, even with the bonus of heavenly grade exotic fire, the damage of the best fire spells will be limited.

So, we have to upgrade if we need to!

Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand and put all the remaining merit points into the fire spirit root.

[Ding! You have invested 400 points of merit into the Fire Spiritual Root. The Fire Spiritual Root has been slightly improved. Purity ratio: 54.1%→54.5%]

With the improvement of my fire spirit root and my current [Five Spirits Dao Body], I believe the damage of my "Burning Embers" should be even higher!

Lin Mo's eyes sparkled, and he felt that his actual combat power had increased again.

If there is another ring battle...

This thought just emerged in his mind, and for some reason, he suddenly recalled that Feng Ji's look at him these days was always a bit "hot".

Not only Feng Ji, but also the geniuses who had been "ambushed" by him using thunder magic in the arena before seemed to have a deep resentment towards him.

Whenever they met in the cafeteria, he always felt as if someone was looking at him.

If there really is another ring battle, if nothing unexpected happens, I will definitely be the first person they deal with!
Moreover, the "Golden Triangle" combination must have become well-known after that ring battle.

Although it has not been cracked, if it happens again, these geniuses will definitely join forces to target them again.

By then, even if his output increased significantly, it would be hard to say who would win in the end.

Never mind, there is no reward for the second round of competition anyway...

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, current winning rate: 100%!

……

[Ding! The enlightenment glow time is over. ]

While Lin Mo was daydreaming in his mind, the reminder that today's sunset was ending reached his ears.

He patted the wrinkles on his Taoist robe, stood up from the ground, and walked towards the enlightenment platform, but he did not call out to Long A behind him.

Because the other party had entered into a second enlightenment yesterday.

Not only Long Ah, but also Chen Xuanzhi, Feng Ji, Yan Shaosheng and others. I don't know if it was Lin Mo's words a few days ago that stimulated them, but these two days these people have entered the state of enlightenment one after another.

According to the team leader who is in charge of protecting the Dharma, the overall pace of enlightenment this year is much faster than in previous years.

It seems that I have contributed a lot...

Lin Mo thought shamelessly.

Before he completely stepped down from the enlightenment platform, he spotted a familiar figure—

"Brother Feng? Why are you here?"

There was a hint of surprise in his expression.

The leading senior brother who was sitting beside the enlightenment platform to protect the Dharma today was actually Senior Brother Feng who slipped away after the Immortal Examination.

He was wearing a clean blue Taoist robe, standing at the back, looking at him calmly, and said:
"You have completed your acquired Dao body. You are quite good."

Lin Mo recalled the scene when the two parties first met, and a smile appeared on his face. He finally heard the other party praising him.

"Thank you for the compliment, Brother Feng."

He replied with a smile.

Senior Brother Feng shook his head and said, "It's not a compliment, it's a fact."

After saying that, he looked forward and said, "Wait a minute, she's almost done."

Lin Mo asked in confusion: "Who?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sword intent spread out towards the surroundings of the Enlightenment Platform, and then a pale white mountain lotus bloomed on the top of the cliff.

There was no need for Senior Brother Feng to say more, Lin Mo also knew who was about to finish.

"My natal flying sword is about to be born!"

His eyes lit up and he stared intently at the figure at the outermost edge of the cliff.

On the top of the cliff, the sword energy suddenly surged.

Fortunately, almost every genius has formations around them, which does not affect their meditation.

Only Lin Mo, who had left the Enlightenment Platform, felt the sword energy rising into the sky.

"Huhuhu..."

Gusts of wind blew past his cheeks, and he forced his eyes open to look at the mountain lotus flowers on the top of the cliff.

The petals of the mountain lotus, which were originally light in color, began to slowly become transparent, and finally almost disappeared into the air.

Lin Mo rubbed his eyes, with a hint of doubt in his expression:
"Am I blind? Why do I seem to see the sword, but also seem not to see it?"

Senior Brother Feng then said:

"You are not blind. That is Junior Sister Chu's sword intent. It is extreme and pure, so the flying sword she bred is also like this."

At this point, he narrowed his eyes slightly: "This is... the Fairy Palace!"

"what?"

Lin Mo's expression became increasingly confused.

Senior Brother Feng explained it clearly in one sentence: "This flying sword is ranked among the top ten in Qingshan Sect."

"So exaggerated!?"

Lin Mo's eyes widened.

You should know that Qingshan Sect is the most famous sword monastery in Qinzhou. Even if it is placed in the entire Diyuan Jiuzhou, it is definitely ranked among the top.

Although the number of sword cultivators is not as high as Guo Jiang Zhiqing, it is definitely one of the Taoist academies with the largest number of sword cultivators in Qinzhou.

In such a Taoist temple, Chu Wange's flying sword actually ranks among the top ten.

As you can imagine, this is such an exaggerated thing.

Senior Brother Feng nodded and said:

"In terms of potential, it is like this. Fairy Palace-grade flying swords are rare in the entire Diyuan Jiuzhou."

"But potential is potential. Whether we can fully develop the power of this flying sword and the subsequent sharpening of the sword..."

"In short, it depends on her future practice."

When it comes to flying swords, Senior Brother Feng starts to talk more.

Lin Mo looked thoughtfully at the top of the cliff in the distance. The petals of the mountain lotus finally became completely transparent.

At this time, he finally saw the flying sword that belonged to Chu Wange.

It was somewhat different from what I had seen in the ring battle a few days ago. The flying sword looked more delicate and compact, and its entire body was crystal clear, reflecting a little light in the sunlight.

As the flying sword was spinning slightly in the air, he noticed that the transparent mountain lotus was actually the sword guard of the flying sword, and its blooming petals were slightly curled inward.

The entire flying sword appears extremely clean, neat, pure and clear.

It feels like I'm seeing Chu Wange... Lin Mo thought to himself, and then asked, "So Senior Brother Feng is here for Wange?"

Senior Brother Feng's arrival was very coincidental, as Chu Wange was about to give birth to his natal flying sword.

Sure enough, the other party nodded and did not deny it.

Lin Mo guessed the answer, without showing any surprise.

After all, he is the number one on the Immortal List, and it is reasonable for him to be guided by senior brothers in the sect before ascending.

……

A moment later, the flying sword that had already taken shape "swish" sank into Chu Wange's body.

As the flying sword disappeared, the sword energy that was raging on the top of the cliff also suddenly dissipated, as if it had never appeared.

Chu Wange stretched and stood up from the cushion. While rubbing his eyes, he walked towards Lin Mo who was sitting under the enlightenment platform.
"Lin Mo, I'm hungry again."

Such a familiar line... Lin Mo smiled and said, "Let's go to the cafeteria! I took a look at the menu yesterday. Today's dishes should be steamed river prawns, garlic pork, blood soup, and kidney bean, pig's trotter and kelp soup..."

Listening to him counting the dishes, Chu Wange swallowed and nodded vigorously: "Let's go."

As she spoke, she pulled Lin Mo's sleeve and walked towards the cafeteria on the other side of the mountain path.

After walking a few steps, Lin Mo suddenly remembered something and turned back to look at Senior Brother Feng who was still standing there:

"Brother, are you coming with me?"

Senior Brother Feng: “…”
