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

Chapter 148: The initial stage of the Lihuo supernatural power is perfected! Arrived at the Huiling Academy! (Subscribe)
Biluo Island, ferry crossing.

Lin Mo stood on the deck of a large immortal boat, feeling the breeze blowing towards him, and his pale face relaxed a little.

Half a month has passed since he last came here.

The last time was when I first entered the Lingxu Realm, and I almost suffocated because of the rich spiritual energy in the Lingxu Realm.

But now, after half a month of getting used to it, he has been able to fully adapt to the density of spiritual energy in the Lingxu Realm.

His eyes turned towards the nearby ferry and the people coming and going on the fairy boat.

There were more than dozens of fairy boats of various sizes at the ferry.

Some of the pedestrians looked hurried, while others walked briskly.

They are either monks on a journey or newcomers who have just entered the Lingxu world.

The Immortal Boat is the most commonly used means of transportation among Taoist disciples. Not only is it fast, it is also safe and stable.

The large passenger boat he was on, named "Feng Ling Zhou", was actually a passenger boat operated by Tianyin Palace, one of the Nine Daoist Academy. It was said that it was also equipped with Jindan-stage cultivators as guards.

Of course, Fenglingzhou’s passenger route is very safe.

Basically, these are the territories that have been explored or developed in the Lingxu Realm, which naturally includes the ferry crossing of Huiling Academy.

Since the nine major academies are very close to each other, Lin Mo will set out from Bi Bo Island as the starting point. If nothing goes wrong, he will be able to arrive at Huiling Academy by taking a fairy boat early tomorrow morning.

The only drawback is that it costs ten low-grade spirit stones just to walk this short distance.

And according to the map, if he wants to reach the Linlang Secret Realm, he has to transfer at the ferry of Huiling Academy.

The round trip fare would require at least thirty or forty low-grade spirit stones, not to mention the various elixirs and supplies needed to enter the secret realm.

He had just started his journey and he felt like he had already spent several hundred low-grade spirit stones.

"No wonder those menial disciples are so reluctant to go out..."

He thought to himself.

In addition to the strength and safety issues in clearing the secret realm, travel expenses, supplies, etc. are all problems.

Even if you save a little, a long journey will cost you a hundred or eighty low-grade spirit stones, and it is hard to say whether you can earn it back by clearing the secret realm.

Then again, he was stroking the storage ring that he had just obtained and had not even had time to refine.

This trip was basically "sponsored" by Senior Sister Zhuang and Senior Brother.

The various bottles and jars that Senior Sister Zhuang gave away were enough to cope with this exploration of the secret realm.

As for the eldest senior brother, he came to his rescue, giving him a storage ring so that he could travel light and no longer have to worry about storage.

"How generous! It's actually a 30-cubic-meter storage ring. Isn't this equivalent to a small warehouse?"

Lin Mo used his spiritual sense to examine the ring in his hand. If it were sold at the carpet market in the Spiritual Cultivation Valley, it would be worth at least two thousand low-grade spirit stones...

He pondered in his heart:

"It can't really be a 'bride price', right?"

Just as he was thinking, his brain suddenly vibrated, and when he took it out, it turned out to be a message from Pan Peng:

"Brother Lin, it seems that the boss has added you, but he said you haven't replied yet..."

Lin Mo then noticed that there seemed to be friend requests on the chat software, and there were more than one.

Wow, so many!
When he opened it, he saw at least dozens of duplicate friend requests, all sent by the same person.

This guy is quite impatient... He stretched out his finger and clicked to pass.

"Ding dong~!"

Soon, a message came from the dialog box over there, just a punctuation mark:
"?"

Is this the one that has been guarding there all the time?

Lin Mo was a little surprised, but he immediately typed an explanation:

"I'm sorry, Senior. I was just preparing the materials for exploring the secret realm, and then I boarded the immortal boat to the Huiling Academy..."

After this message was sent, there was silence for a while, and then a reply came:
"It's just a Linlang Secret Realm. Why do you need to make so many preparations? Just follow me when the time comes."

Lin Mo was a little confused. Take me with you?
Pan Peng did say that he had found a big shot from the Huiling Academy as a guide, but he didn't say that the other party would take him to the secret realm...

Before he could think about it, the other party saw that he didn't reply to the message, and sent another punctuation mark: "?"

Lin Mo did not answer directly. After thinking about it, he directly sacrificed his natal tortoise shell.

"Shh!"

The ordinary tortoise shell appeared ordinary in his hands.

He looked at the tortoise shell with a complicated expression.

For now, the results of the two calculations are quite accurate, but the process is difficult to evaluate.

He didn't hesitate for too long. He asked silently in his mind and started to calculate directly.

Soon, the copper coins inside were shaken out -

【lucky】.

After seeing the prompt, Lin Mo took out his inspiration and replied to the other party: "Then I will trouble you when the time comes."

The boss over there was silent for a moment, and then another message came:
"[Information Sharing]."

Lin Mo clicked on it and saw that it was information related to Linlang Secret Realm.

And you will know with just a quick glance that this is different from the "Complete Guide to Secret Realms" borrowed from the sect's Sutra Library. This is an extremely detailed strategy guide.

It not only records the types of Linlang Secret Realm, but also contains strategies, techniques and route instructions.

I feel that by following this guide, even Lin Mo can explore the Linlang Secret Realm by himself, but...

Only limited to the outskirts of Linlang Secret Realm.

"It turns out that the Linlang Secret Realm is divided into three levels!"

Only after seeing this information did Lin Mo know the detailed structure of the Linlang Secret Realm.

Compared to many well-known ancient secret realms, the Linlang Secret Realm is relatively new among the second-level secret realms. It has only been explored and developed by the Huiling Academy for more than ten years.

Moreover, the Linlang Secret Realm has a total of three layers. Whether it is Diao Youcai or the eldest senior brother, the area they mentioned that is suitable for novices to explore in the foundation-building stage is the periphery of the Linlang Secret Realm.

As for the inner circle, the risk factor is skyrocketing, and the strategy recommends that you explore it only when you have reached the middle or late stage of foundation building. In addition, it is said that there is a core layer inside, but it is not recommended for ordinary disciples to explore.

The reason is unknown.

I don't know whether the spiritual creatures the old man mentioned refer to the outer circle or the inner circle...

Lin Mo was thinking in his heart, but he had a bad feeling.

You should know that spiritual objects that can improve spiritual roots are rare commodities.

Just like the [Essence of Leakage] he picked up in the Purple Bamboo Forest before, even a third-generation disciple like Diao Youcai, who had been a disciple for ten years, had never known that there was such a rare item in the Purple Bamboo Forest.

Come to think of it, if the [Essence of Leachate] was known to others, there wouldn't be only menial disciples collecting materials in the Purple Bamboo Forest all day long.

Even the outer disciples and even the geniuses would flock to it.

Of course, maybe some people have seen it before, but they just didn’t make it public.

After all, not everyone can go out and "pick up money" every day like Lin Mo.

Closer to home.

The rare stuff is definitely not the leveling points in the outer circle that have been visited by ordinary disciples, but probably in the inner circle or even the core layer.

This is troublesome...

Lin Mo looked at the dialog box, pondering the strength of this unknown "senior".

At this moment, the other party sent another message:
"No need to read too much, just to let you know, I'll take you through it quickly."

What a pretentious line!

Lin Mo, the founder of the "Sword Cultivation School", couldn't help but sigh. It seems that the result of the test just now should be fine...

He relaxed a little, stretched, and chatted with the big man for a few more words, trying to find out his identity.

But unfortunately, the other party knew everything about the secret realm.

However, as soon as the identity was mentioned, the chat box fell into a long silence.

Fortunately, Lin Mo, who had high emotional intelligence, restored the atmosphere in time, allowing the conversation to continue.

Until the end, Lin Mo still didn't know the name of the big boss of Huiling Academy.

But between the lines of the other party's words, there was a sense of "I am a master".

This made Lin Mo feel at ease.

About ten minutes later, the chat ended with the boss saying "I have something else to do, so I'll log off first."

Lin Mo closed his spiritual power, then unfolded his own panel and looked at [Lihuo Divine Power]. His proficiency was still halfway to the full value.

He thought about it, then maxed out his merit points and poured them directly into this magical power.

[Ding! You invested 5333 points of merit in the Fire-Separating Divine Power, Divine Power Experience Points +1600]

[Ding! The Fire Separation Divine Ability: Initial has been completed. Merit points cannot be invested temporarily. Please continue to improve your cultivation. ]

As two prompts sounded, this [Fire Separation Divine Ability] reached the initial stage of perfection.

Lin Mo was not surprised when he saw the last prompt.

Last night, he had learned a lot about his innate magical powers from his senior brother.

Most of the innate magical powers can continue to grow along with the cultivator himself.

Since [Lihuo Divine Power] is marked with the suffix "Foundation Building·Beginning" from the beginning, it is obvious that this is the upper limit that can be achieved in the initial stage of foundation building.

Lin Mo stretched out a finger, and a small fireball suddenly appeared on his fingertip.

It was not launched, but hovered in the air, slowly rotating.

He could clearly sense the fire power contained within the small fireball:
"Sure enough, it already has the power of a 2nd-order lower-grade perfect spell. In this way, as long as the cultivation reaches the middle stage of foundation building, the middle-grade spell can be unlocked, and so on..."

His eyes brightened. If he reached the late stage of foundation building, he would be a ruthless firepower output machine!

Just think about it, he was using explosively damaging top-grade fire spells, blasting them out like fireworks. That scene...

"Hey, guest over there, please don't play with fire on the deck of the fairy boat!"

Before the fantasy was over, I heard the voice of the Xianzhou staff behind me.

The passengers standing around the deck also cast their eyes towards him.

Lin Mo's old face turned red, and he rubbed his index fingers together, and the small fireball disappeared into the air. He raised his head and looked at the scenery as if nothing had happened.

……

At 1:05 a.m. the next day, Lin Mo, who had worked hard for two whole days, finally had a good sleep. When he walked out of the soft sleeper seat on the fairy boat and stood back on the deck, he finally saw the Huiling Academy built on a towering cliff.

Although it is also a cliff, Huiling Academy does not reach straight into the sky like Wudao Cliff. Instead, it is only connected to the sea of ​​clouds, as if it has merged into one.

The academy's buildings are built against the mountain, in a staggered manner, with flying eaves and carved beams and painted buildings. They are surrounded by lush ancient trees, majestic rocks, and full of spiritual energy.

Compared to the Qingshan Sect’s buildings that combine ancient and modern styles, Huiling Academy’s overall style is more “ancient”.

Of course, the most impressive thing is the tall tower built in the academy, which is particularly conspicuous among a group of two- or three-story buildings.

The tower has nine floors, with a faint aura of spiritual energy attached to the surface, which glows with rainbow light under the refraction of sunlight.

This is the Lingyuan Tower of Huiling Academy, which is said to be the place where the academy’s talismans are passed down.

About a quarter of an hour later, the large passenger boat docked at the ferry on the mountainside of Huiling Academy, and Lin Mo walked down from the boat.

Lin Mo looked around and saw that the ferry was surrounded by disciples from the academy wearing white Taoist robes.

He and the academy boss had agreed to meet at the ferry at 1:00 a.m. He looked around for a while, but no one came to talk to him. He said to himself with a puzzled look:

"Where is this senior? Could it be that he hasn't arrived yet..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a deep and rich baritone voice sounded behind him:

"I'm here."

Lin Mo subconsciously turned his head to look, but did not see anyone.

The next second, it was as if I heard someone talking in my ear:
"No need to look for me, I am always here."
