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

Chapter 139 Lin Mo Completes Job Change! Huiling Academy and Linlang Secret Realm!
An hour later...

"Noisy!"

The young man, who was annoyed by Lin Mo's questions one after another, waved his sleeves and retreated from the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain to the teleportation array at the foot of the mountain.

yue~!

Lin Mo dry-heaved and took a long while to stand up, a look of doubt on his face.

Why does this disregarding life and death transmission method seem so familiar?

He stood up and calmed himself down, then pouted at the top of the mountain. The old man had a bad temper. No wonder none of his disciples were with him.

Although the "boy" looks like a teenager, he exudes the aura of aging all the time.

Lin Mo had felt this feeling before in the old people in the village who had reached the end of their lifespans. It was a sense of approaching old age.

Forget it, the adults don’t hold grudges against the old man.

He took a deep breath and said, "Teacher, Lin Mo will come to visit again tomorrow!"

After the mountain was silent for a while, the birds in the forest suddenly flew up, and an old voice came from far away:

"No!"

After that, he added:
"After unlocking the magical power of the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams, you can step into the Falling Star Peak again. Now you can go."

After saying that, Lin Mo's eyes blurred and he appeared in the center of the teleportation array. Then he felt dizzy and was immersed in a golden light of teleportation and disappeared.

The impatient look of the young man in the tomb relaxed slightly:
"Finally I can get some more sleep!"

Just as he was about to lie back in the coffin, he heard a soft cat cry coming from the Taoist temple, with a gentler expression:
"Got it. We'll open up the mountain when that kid comes back. In the final analysis, it's all because of this kid's poor aptitude. He hasn't even unlocked the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams magical power. How can he become the next walker of Luoxing Peak? It's embarrassing to tell anyone about it!"

"Oh, right... I almost forgot to seal my mouth."

The young man seemed to remember something, stretched out his fingers and made a Taoist gesture, then patted his Taoist robe:

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. I'm still waiting to die."

He yawned and lay back in the coffin:
"I seem to have forgotten something. Never mind. It's not important anymore..."

As he lay down, circles of energy ripples began to spread outward along the coffin. First, the swaying lights in the room suddenly froze, followed by the floating dust in the Taoist temple, the fallen leaves in the mountains, the gurgling water, and even the mountain wind became prohibited.

After the light of the teleportation array faded, the entire Falling Star Peak seemed to be frozen in time and space...

……

……

On the other side, when Lin Mo opened his eyes again, he was actually teleported back to the sect's initial teleportation point at Qingyun Peak.

Before he could take a closer look, he heard a cry of surprise:
"Senior Brother Lin!"

Lin Mo's internal energy circulated slightly, which relieved the headache a little. He looked up and saw Pan Peng looking at him with surprise.

"Brother Pan?"

Pan Peng came over quickly:

"Brother Lin, you are finally back!"

When Lin Mo heard what he said, he was surprised:

"What do you mean I'm back? Didn't I meet you on the sword arena yesterday?"

Pan Peng was surprised and asked, "Ah? Wasn't that seven days ago?"

Seven days!

Lin Mo looked a little surprised. It took seven days just to refine a natal object?

That’s not right. Why do I feel like only one day has passed?

He was not in a completely unconscious state while refining the tortoise shell. The fact that he could continuously press 1 with his fingers was enough to prove it.

Yes, wooden fish...

He cast his eyes towards the panel.

[Merit]: 16200
When did it change so much?

I deducted 1 according to the previous rhythm, but have you ever deducted more than times?

The records and data on the panel cannot lie. Is it my illusion that I only got through one day?

Lin Mo was full of confusion.

Pan Peng then said:

"Brother Lin, have you completed your discipleship mission this time? Which school? The Alchemy School? No, the Alchemy School doesn't seem to be that fast. So it must be the Spirit Weapon School? Or the Nine Palaces Pavilion? It can't be the Sword School!!"

There was a hint of expectation in his expression, but he saw Lin Mo shook his head and said:

"Neither, it's Falling Star Peak."

Pan Peng showed a trace of confusion: "Falling Star Peak? What is that place?"

"You don't know either?"

“I haven’t heard of it.”

Pan Peng shook his head honestly.

Lin Mo touched his chin, thoughtfully.

To be honest, he is still confused about this job change. Even after pestering the old man for a long time, he still doesn't fully understand it.

I always feel like this old man is fooling me in a new way...

Lin Mo even doubted the results of the calculation using the fortune teller's innate magical power.

If I had known not to test to pick up things, I would have picked up money every day. Why would I need to test?
He said to himself.

“Although I don’t know, the master chosen by Senior Brother Lin must be a hidden high-ranking inheritance of the sect, which is unpredictable!”

Pan Peng said with fiery eyes.

In his mind, Lin Mo, who created the "Sword Cultivation School" and won ninety consecutive victories, can almost be regarded as a top genius on the same level as Chu Wange.

It is hidden well, but it is hard to say whether it is a high-ranking family.

Lin Mo complained in his mind and just smiled. Then the two of them walked into the Trial Pavilion while chatting.

As soon as I walked in, I saw Diao Youcai standing up from behind the counter with a smile on his face, and jokingly said, "Oh, what a rare customer."

"Brother Diao."

Lin Mo raised his hand to greet him. Diao Youcai looked him up and down and said, "Junior Brother Lin, have you completed your job transfer?"

Lin Mo nodded and immediately asked about the matter of Falling Star Peak again.

"Falling Star Peak? I don't know."

Diao Youcai also shook his head, his expression not seeming fake, and then said:

"Brother Lin, don't worry about it. The Qingshan Sect has been passed down for thousands of years, and there are countless inheritances in the sect. Even among the deacons and elders, who dares to say that they have visited every corner of the sect? Do they know every inheritance?"

“Although the five major departments are recognized as the strongest departments in the sect, there are other inheritances that can compare with them.”

"Junior brother has great fortune, so I'm sure the inheritance he chooses won't be too bad."

At this point, he even winked at Lin Mo:
"If you are successful in the future, please don't forget to take care of my business, brother."

Lin Mo, who was still in deep thought, smiled at him and said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother Diao, Gou Fugui..."

Through the transactions during this period, the two of them could not be said to be like-minded, but at least they had become friends to some extent.

The two of them, with Pan Peng's support, boasted and chatted with each other in front of the counter for a while.

Lin Mo then remembered the important matter and asked, "By the way, Senior Brother Diao, do you know the Linlang Secret Realm?"

Diao Youcai was a little surprised: "Junior brother, where did you know about this secret realm?"

"Hmm? What's the secret of this secret place?"

"Not really, he is just an ordinary outer sect disciple, so he shouldn't know."

Hearing him say this, Lin Mo became even more confused. Fortunately, Diao Youcai did not deliberately conceal it and said:
"Junior Brother Lin, you have been a disciple for a few days. You should know the rules of the secret realms outside the sect, right?"

Lin Mo nodded. Although he didn't fully understand it, he at least had a rough idea of ​​it from some strategy posts on the forum.

First of all, many secret realms in the Lingxu Realm cannot be entered just because you want to.

Most of the "developed" secret realms on the Qinzhou territory are controlled by the nine Taoist academies, and a small part is controlled by twenty-one ordinary Taoist academies.

As one of the nine major Taoist academies, Qingshan Sect naturally controls a number of secret realms.

As a disciple of the Taoist temple, you can enter most of the secret realms for free.

However, the resources in the secret realms outside the sect are not infinitely renewable resources.

Therefore, in order to avoid exhausting the resources, the number of times the disciples could conduct explorations was limited.

Generally speaking, only outer disciples have the right to go out and explore secret realms, while menial disciples do not have this privilege.

As for how many times one can explore, it depends on the disciple's identity and the type of secret realm.

Diao Youcai continued:
"This Linlang Secret Realm is not a secret realm within the jurisdiction of our sect, but a secret realm on the territory of Huiling Academy."

After hearing this, Lin Mo finally understood what the other party meant.

Huiling Academy is also one of the nine major academies. It is famous for its expertise in talisman cultivation and is far away from Qingshan Sect.

Is the secret place that the old man pointed out to me so far away?

Lin Mo was troubled because the first one was actually outside the sect's jurisdiction.

Diao Youcai seemed to see his expression and said with a smile:

"But it's not that our sect's disciples can't go. Most of the secret realms of the nine academies are shared with each other. This Linlang Secret Realm is also open to the public at Huiling Academy, but..."

"but what?"

"After all, it's not within the jurisdiction of Qingshan Sect, so it's hard to form a team there."

Diao Youcai spread his hands and said:

"If you want to go, I'm afraid you can only recruit teammates in advance on the forum. But according to the cycle, it may take a month or two to form a team..."

Lin Mo frowned slightly. According to Diao Youcai, since the secret realm in the wild is not like the leveling point in the sect or the sword-fighting arena, there will be no danger to life safety.

One often encounters emergencies in the secret realm, and even many of the Taoist geniuses die in the secret realm.

So usually, when going into a secret realm, you will form a team so that you can take care of each other while exploring the secret realm.

Especially for disciples in the foundation-building stage, their methods are relatively simple and they are unable to deal with complex situations, so they need to form a team and go to the secret realm.

But a two-month team-building period is a bit too long.

Lin Mo touched his chin and asked: How about going to other secret realms first?
The secret realms recommended to him by the old man were not just the Linlang Secret Realm. However, considering his current level of cultivation, the Linlang Secret Realm was one of the secret realms worth exploring at this stage.

In other words, it has the best cost-effectiveness.

"Is there no other way?"

Lin Mo asked again.

Diao Youcai pondered for a while and said:

"It's not that there is no way, that is to form a wild team. Usually there will be wild team recruitment at the entrance of the secret realm, but whether you can form a reliable teammate is not certain."

"Or, Junior Brother, if you are confident, you can also do it alone... By the way, if Junior Brother Lin plans to go to the Linlang Secret Realm, you can come to the Trial Pavilion to accept the mission. There are several types of demon pills and materials that can only be dropped in the Linlang Secret Realm. If you can get enough of them, you can also get a good reward."

Lin Mo nodded, chatted with Diao Youcai for a while, then raised his hand to say goodbye and walked towards the teleporter.

Pan Peng personally escorted him to the ferry of the Immortal Boat. Before boarding the boat, he asked curiously:

"Brother Lin, when will we go on the sword arena next time? Are you planning to achieve the Hundred Consecutive Slashes achievement?"

Hundred consecutive kills?

If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten it.

Lin Mo then remembered this matter. The Sword Arena is a "treasure land" for making money, but it is not as important as improving his cultivation and magical powers.

Moreover, in the last few battles, he could clearly feel that the strength of his opponents was constantly increasing, and it was becoming a bit difficult to fight them.

He has won 90 games in a row. Wouldn't it be more difficult to start over if he loses a game?

Better to be more stable...

So, Lin Mo said to Pan Peng: "It has only been a short time since I changed my job, so the matter of the Sword Arena will be put on hold for a few days."

Pan Peng looked a little disappointed when he heard this, but he could understand it.

After obtaining the title of monk, most disciples will adapt for a period of time before choosing to continue to attack the sword arena.

Pan Peng looked at him with a slightly strange expression, and finally said:
"It seems that the long-awaited battle between Senior Brother Lin and Senior Sister Chu Wange in the sect will have to wait for a while."

Lin Mo was confused:
"Who am I fighting? Chu Wange?"
