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

Chapter 3 Qi Refining Level 3!
The experience points actually increased by more than eight points, hiss~!

Lin Mo took a breath.

It was not until the second semester of the sixth grade in elementary school that he successfully drew Qi into his body and entered the first level of Qi Refining.

In the six years of junior high and high school combined, I only gained a total of more than 6 experience points.

During this period, he was awarded the title of outstanding class leader many times and was rewarded with extra practice time in the advanced practice room.

In other words, the additional 8.4 experience points are equivalent to more than a month of hard training.

Awesome~!

Merit can actually increase the experience bar!
Lin Mo showed joy on his face, and then a question emerged in his mind.

It's just that 42 merit points were added with 8 or so experience points at the end. What does the percentage multiplied by it mean?

His eyes fell on the "42*20%" in the prompt brackets.

"I practice the Five Elements Kung Fu, and the purity of my Five Elements spiritual roots is exactly 20% on average..."

He first muttered to himself, and then came to the conclusion:
"So, the merit value multiplied by the spiritual root purity ratio is equal to the increased experience value."

"In that case, if I have only one spiritual root and the purity ratio is at the maximum value, then the merit value is equal to the experience value? No, maybe I can even get a critical hit..."

Thinking of this, Lin Mo's gaze shifted from the experience bar to his own five elements spiritual roots:
[Spiritual Roots]: Gold (22%), Wood (19%), Water (20%), Fire (20%), Earth (19%)

In this cruel world of cultivation, talent is almost everything.

The most important attribute that determines one’s talent for cultivation is naturally one’s spiritual roots.

Except for some special mutated spiritual roots.

The one with the best qualifications is the one with a single-line spiritual root.

Next is double spiritual roots, triple spiritual roots...

With five spiritual roots like his, whose purity is 20% higher than the average, he can at best be considered a "waste" who can barely embark on the journey of cultivation.

Even though he had been practicing for eighteen years, he was still just a Qi Refining Level 2, which was insignificant even in a middle school.

So, is there any possibility to improve the qualifications of this little loser a little bit?
Lin Mo looked at the 10 merit points accumulated on the interface, and invested them into the gold spiritual root with the highest purity ratio with infinite hope.

[Ding! You have invested 10 points of merit into the Golden Spiritual Root. The Golden Spiritual Root has been slightly improved. Purity ratio: 22%→22.1%]

Really!

Lin Mo was once again shocked by the effect of merit.

Not only can experience points be added, but even qualifications can be improved?

With such miraculous effects, it is no wonder that the Supreme Goddess was able to use her merits to achieve the status of a saint.

But soon he stopped dwelling on this issue.

No matter how amazing your spiritual roots are, you still need to practice to make progress. Now, buddy, I just need to "deduct 1".

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and after the golden finger arrived, he finally felt that he had the aura of a protagonist.

Of course, the fingers are still slightly bent, and then straightened——

【merit +1】

After Lin Mo verified that merit points could be directly added to experience points, a raging fire suddenly burst out from his heart that had been dead for eighteen years.

Tonight, one finger, one miracle.

He will never go to sleep until he has plucked all the merits from this little wooden fish!!!

-

"I actually fell asleep!"

Lin Mo was awakened by the alarm clock at 6:10 in the morning. The sun had already shone through the curtains and shone onto the panda pattern on his underwear.

Damn it, I fell asleep like this on the first night after getting the golden finger?

He was a little annoyed, then he stretched and got up from the bed. Then again, he didn't have any dreams last night and slept soundly.

In fact, it’s not his fault that he fell asleep while beating the wooden fish. It’s mainly because beating the wooden fish is too hypnotic, especially in the dead of night…

Lin Mo shook his head and glanced at the panel:
[Merit]: 299
299. Is there any discount promotion in the supermarket?
As his finger moved slightly, the number on the interface changed from "299" to "300".

Comfortable~!

He looked slightly relaxed. The 300 merit points meant that he had almost deducted 5 for 1 consecutive hours.

Not bad either.

If I put all of it into experience points, that would be 60 experience points. Would that be enough to level up?

Lin Mo was stunned, his fingers almost involuntarily dragging the merit points, ready to invest in the technique.

At the critical moment, his "restless" little finger stopped because he was about to press 1.

Etc., etc!
It is totally uneconomical to invest the merit points into practicing the art first. You should focus on improving the purity of your spiritual roots first so that you can make the most of the merit points.

If the purity of his spiritual roots improves, not only will his daily practice speed increase, but the utilization rate of his merit points will also increase.

But then again, after yesterday's upgrade, the experience bar of Qi Refining Level 2 was only 42 experience points away from reaching Qi Refining Level 3...

[Ding! You have invested 210 points of merit in the technique, technique experience +42]

[Ding! "The 108th National Five Elements Qi Training Technique" has been upgraded to the third level of Qi training. ]

His fingers moved involuntarily, without his control at all.

As two consecutive system prompts came into his ears, Lin Mo also felt that the speed of the spiritual energy circulation in his body suddenly increased significantly.

All the pores on his body opened slightly, and spiritual energy rushed into his body like a happy fish.

The pupils contracted slightly, then relaxed, and the body that had just stood up went limp...

"It's cool~!"

Lin Mo's eyes lit up. He had never felt such wonderful comfort.

It is said that in ancient times, there was an unparalleled genius who embarked on the path of cultivation overnight and crossed several levels of cultivation in a single breath.

Although Lin Mo only made one step forward on his original basis, the pleasure of this great improvement was unforgettable to him.

"It's so cool to improve without following a routine. No wonder everyone wants to be a genius..."

Lin Mo slumped against the pillow, muttering to himself.

"Dingling bell~!"

Suddenly, the phone vibrated violently again. This was the second alarm in the early morning.

"Get up and go to school!"

Lin Mo turned over and jumped up from the bed.

At this moment, he had just been promoted to the third level of Qi Refining, and he felt refreshed all over. Even the morning classes that he least wanted to attend on weekdays became something he looked forward to.

He quickly got dressed, washed up, then locked the door and left the community.

After reaching the third level of Qi Refining, Lin Mo could clearly feel the improvement in all aspects of his body, especially the increase in his leg strength.

It usually takes him more than half an hour to walk this distance, but this morning it only took him less than twenty minutes.

During the trip, he also bought a breakfast and ate it on the way.

Lin Mo walked into the classroom in a very good mood and happened to meet his deskmate Zhang Dahai at the door.

Zhang Dahai glanced at him with his panda eyes, then glanced at his randomly "twitching" fingers, and smiled knowingly:
"Hey hey hey..."

Then came three fatal questions:
"Which teacher did you date last night? How many times did you date? Do you have any seeds? Brothers, send them to me!"
