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

Chapter 138 Divination and Bagua magical powers! Spiritual root qualifications are further improved! (Subscribe)

The age, cultivation level and other data on the panel have not changed much, only some new information has been added:
[Professional Title]: Diviner (1 Bronze)
[Sect Status]: Outer Sect Disciple
[Birth object]: Turtle shell
【Innate magical power】:
1. Divination: One hexagram a day to predict good or bad luck
2. Five Elements and Eight Diagrams Magical Powers

……

Fortunately, the name on the panel is not really Banxianer...

Lin Mo looked at the job title on the panel and breathed a sigh of relief. Then, with an idea in his mind, he sacrificed the refined tortoise shell.

From the surface, the tortoise shell is still the same tortoise shell, the size of a palm, and nothing special.

But at this moment, to Lin Mo, this tortoise shell was just like his own hands and feet, closely connected and forming one body.

“This is my natal item!”

Lin Mo felt curious and picked up the tortoise shell and shook it. A crisp "ding-dong" sound came from inside, like a doorbell.

This is a copper coin that was born from his natal object during the process of refining tortoise shell.

Strictly speaking, this is also one of his natal objects.

He subconsciously wanted to shake the copper coin out of the tortoise shell to see, but an old voice came to his ears:

"Don't rush yet."

Lin Mo raised his head and saw the young man slowly opening his eyes from his nap and looking at him, his voice lazily saying:

"Once the coin is out, good or bad luck will be revealed. Shaking the coin is like fortune-telling. It cannot be done arbitrarily."

Shaking the sticks to tell fortunes, this half-immortal has the most sense... Lin Mo's mouth twitched, then he looked at the young man and said:
"Senior, is this calculated result authentic?"

The boy glanced at him and said, "Call me teacher."

"Haven't I become your disciple yet?" Lin Mo asked.

juvenile:"……"

"Haha, I'm just kidding, teacher!"

Lin Mo smiled, then immediately changed the subject:
"By the way, teacher, how do I pray for this divination?"

The young man did not care and said:

"How can you tell a divination if you don't have anything in mind? You are just a bronze divination master, you can't just do whatever you want..."

“Ding-dong~!”

Before he finished speaking, Lin Mo shook out the copper coin from the tortoise shell. The Bagua coin flipped over on the ground and then stopped on the positive side with the words on it.

Lin Mo's panel promptly flashed a message with each word: [Good Luck]

A clean and concise word with a clear conclusion.

The boy looked at the copper coin that had fallen to the ground and asked, "What did you measure?"

Lin Mo groaned and replied: "Nothing much, I just tested whether I can 'pick up money' when I go out today..."

"..."

The boy was silenced twice in three sentences.

Why do I always feel that accepting this guy as my disciple is not a good thing?
The divination of the fortune teller is actually used to predict whether one can pick up money?
If this gets out, people will definitely call it a waste.

Of course, perhaps it was also because Master Tianji had "disappeared" in the Lingxu Realm for too long, and had been closed in the sect for a hundred years.

As a result, Lin Mo in front of him did not know the value of these words, let alone how many cultivators were jealous of even this simple ability to calculate good and bad luck.

and so……

Do you want to open the mountain?

The boy was in a brief dilemma.

On the one hand, he didn't want anyone to disturb the tranquility of Luoxing Peak, but on the other hand, he felt that since he had accepted new disciples, it was normal to reopen the mountain.

He pondered for a long time but still couldn't come to a conclusion.

Really annoying!

He scratched his hair irritably, but heard Lin Mo curiously ask:
"Eh? Teacher, why are all my Bagua magical powers black? Oh, that's not right, only [Lihuo] is bright..."

The Five Elements and Eight Trigrams magical powers are followed by the Eight Gates magical powers, which are:
Qian Heaven, Kun Earth, Zhen Thunder, Xun Wind, Kan Water, Li Fire, Gen Mountain, and Dui Marsh.

However, most of the magical powers on the panel are gray, only [Lihuo] is lit.

The young man glanced at him calmly:
"The requirement to trigger the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams magical power is: the spiritual root purity ratio must reach more than 40%. Lihuo corresponds to the fire element. Since you have strange fire, you can use Lihuo naturally."

After listening to his explanation, Lin Mo looked thoughtful:
"I didn't expect that the requirements for a semi-... celestial master are quite high. It's obviously just a five-element profession..."

The young man frowned: "Who told me that five-element professions are bad?"

Lin Mo was stunned: "Isn't that what everyone says?"

The Five Elements Spiritual Roots are generally recognized as the most common qualifications. The cultivation speed is slow, the resources consumed are high, and there are few techniques that can be used...

Perhaps the only advantage is that all the five elements techniques can be practiced.

But usually, due to the limitations of spiritual roots and understanding, the speed of practice will be very slow.

"Hmph, fallacy!"

A trace of disdain appeared on the boy's face, and he said:

"The five elements correspond to the changing laws of all things in the world. The innate five elements are the top qualifications in the world. What are the natural spiritual roots and mutant spiritual roots? What's the point!"

Lin Mo hesitated for a moment and asked, "What about the sword spirit root?"

juvenile:"……"

Feeling the atmosphere becoming awkward, Lin Mo coughed and said:

"Then teacher, my five elements spiritual roots also belong to the innate five elements?"

The young man took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and chuckled:
"Do you think that possessing the five elements spiritual roots is called the innate five elements? The innate five elements means that the innate purity of the five elements spiritual roots reaches more than 80%!"

hiss~!

Lin Mo took a breath of cold air:
"All five elements of spiritual roots are above 80%? Is there really such a heaven-defying talent!"

Even though he could use merit points to improve his spiritual roots, he didn't have too many thoughts about this unattainable purity ratio.

After all, the standard for natural spiritual roots is a spiritual root purity ratio of more than 80%.

And the bald senior brother from the Alchemy Academy, who was almost endowed with the dual spiritual roots of fire and wood, was already the most brilliant and talented person of this generation of disciples in the Alchemy Academy.

Five elements of spiritual roots?
Lin Mo didn't dare to imagine how exaggerated this qualification was.

The young man looked at his ignorant appearance and his mouth twitched. What if he told Lin Mo that most of the disciples before him had the innate five elements?

Even for a few with slightly inferior qualifications, there are one or two mutated spiritual roots mixed in the five elements. Their qualifications are among the best in the Nine Academies of Qinzhou, not to mention the Nine Provinces of Diyuan.

A hundred years ago, the Falling Star Peak was in the limelight, and even the signature sword cultivators of the Qingshan Sect had to stand back...

Who would have thought that his last disciple was actually an acquired five elements, and even this acquired Taoist body was built with the Taoist foundation of immortal level.

His qualifications can be said to be the worst among all the disciples he has ever accepted.

This resulted in Lin Mo, who clearly owned a "gold mountain", only being able to use a small corner of it, which was really a waste of resources.

Whatever!

For a master of astronomy, qualifications are not the most important thing; having great luck is the most important thing.

Although Lin Mo looks ordinary in every way, his luck is incredibly good.

Although even he didn't know how the other party became his disciple with more than a hundred points of luck value.

The young man sighed in his heart and said:

"Unlocking anything is not difficult. You only need to collect five-element spiritual objects, just like your heavenly-level strange fire. After refining the five-element spiritual objects and improving your spiritual roots, you can unlock these magical powers one by one."

Lin Mo smiled bitterly: "Teacher, how can it be so easy to collect spiritual objects?"

Spiritual objects that can improve one's qualifications are the most scarce resources in the Lingxu Realm. They are often in short supply and extremely difficult to obtain.

It was only after Lin Mo ascended that he gradually understood how rare the fire of that heavenly grade strange fire was.

Even though his merit points can be used to refresh the rewards, he can only take the Immortal Examination Secret Realm once in his lifetime.

The young man said calmly, "It's not simple, but it's not difficult either."

Before Lin Mo finished speaking, a system prompt sounded in his ears:

[Ding! Your teacher has issued you the main task of the master-disciple relationship: Collect spiritual objects to unlock the magical powers of the five elements and eight trigrams.]

[Task requirements: All spiritual root qualifications must be raised to above 40%, unlimited time.]

[Quest Reward: Disciple Status Advancement (Outer Sect → Inner Sect)]

So fast! ?

Lin Mo looked very surprised.

According to his previous understanding, generally speaking, after being promoted to an outer disciple, one will have to go through at least several years of training, during which time one will have to complete various tasks before the teacher will issue you a task to advance to the next level of disciple status.

And he had just completed the transformation from a high-ranking menial disciple to an outer disciple, but he accepted the task of being promoted to an inner disciple.

However, if you look closely at the task requirements, it is actually not that simple.

The young man continued:

"There are many spiritual objects that can improve your aptitude, and you can find them even in Qingshan Sect."

"There are also some in the sect?"

"Of course." The boy nodded and said:

"If I remember correctly, you can find it in the Purple Bamboo Forest. It contains something called [Leachate Essence]. After taking it, it can increase the aptitude of water-type spiritual roots. However, it is a bit difficult to find. You need to... Eh!?"

The young man paused because Lin Mo took out a small piece of ordinary purple bamboo from his arms.

Although the purple bamboo was not transparent, with his spiritual perception, this cover was nothing to him. He could tell at a glance that there was a small tube of purple liquid hidden inside.

"This is... the essence of the leachate!"

There is no doubt that this is the water-based spiritual object he mentioned, and there is quite a lot in this small half tube, at least twenty or thirty drops.

"Teacher, is this it?"

Lin Mo asked.

Although he was immersed in completing tasks and fighting in the arena every day during this period, he did not forget to go to the purple bamboo forest to kill the purple bamboo snake every day.

From the first day, he actually picked up the [Essence of the Leachate] and stored it in a small section of purple bamboo that was not burned.

Then every day after that, they picked up purple bamboos that retained the [Essence of the Leachate].

Each section of purple bamboo contains at least two or three drops of liquid, and at most more than ten drops.

During the past few days of brushing the purple bamboo forest, he accumulated a total of twenty-nine drops of [Essence of Leachate], but they were kept by him in this section of purple bamboo.

The boy looked a little strange, but he nodded and said, "...Yes, you're lucky. You can take it directly."

Lin Mo didn't hesitate and swallowed the [essence of the liquid] in that section of purple bamboo in one gulp.

[Ding! You have swallowed the essence of the leachate (no grade)*29, and are refining it...]

[Ding! Refining completed, water element spiritual root purity ratio increased: 39%→39.1%]

As the internal energy began to circulate slightly, nearly thirty drops of [Essence of Leachate] were completely refined in an instant.

"That's it?"

Lin Mo was a little disappointed when he saw the mere "0.1%" increase. He had thought it would surge by 0.3 or 0.4 percentage points, but he didn't expect it to be just this much.

The young man explained: "The spiritual item is just too low-level. Plus, your water spiritual item is at a bottleneck stage, so the natural improvement is not much."

That’s right, after all, the power of the Heavenly Grade Strange Fire only increased by a dozen percent.

Lin Mo thought secretly in his heart and said:
"It doesn't matter, a little less is a little less, I can still brush it anyway!"

It doesn’t matter if the improvement is small. As long as there is a direction, there is hope.

At worst, you can just burn it once a day and brush it a few more times.

According to this ratio, if you burn it for two consecutive months, you will be able to break through the bottleneck period of the water-type spiritual roots, and then you can continue to improve your merit value.

But before he could cheer up, he heard the young man pour a basin of cold water on him:
"If you take too much [Leachate Essence], its effect will continue to decline, and at most a hundred drops will have no effect at all."

After speaking, he added:

"Of course, in addition to the Purple Bamboo Forest, there are also many secret realms outside the sect where spiritual objects that can improve your qualifications can be found."

Hearing this, Lin Mo's expression suddenly became serious, and he raised his hand respectfully and bowed:
"Please teach me, teacher!"

juvenile:"……"

Just now he looked down on the Tianji lineage and didn't even have much respect for him, but now his expression changed quickly...
