Senior Brother Li did not keep us in suspense and explained:
"Junior Brother Lin should know that the function of Dao Yuan Fruit is to consolidate the foundation of Dao, and to increase the Dao age and the upper limit of Zhen Yuan, right?"

Lin Mo nodded, and in a moment, Chu Wange briefly introduced the function of the Dao Yuan Fruit. Senior Brother Li, who was watching the Mirror Flowers and Water Moons, naturally heard their conversation.

Senior Brother Li smiled and said:

"There is generally nothing wrong with what Junior Sister Chu said, but she overlooked some details, such as the best time to take Dao Yuan Fruit."

"If I'm not mistaken, Junior Brother Lin seems to be still at the eighth level of Qi training? Then my suggestion is to wait until Qi training is complete and the foundation of Taoism is complete before taking the Dao Yuan Fruit."

"Only in this way can the effect of Dao Yuan Fruit be fully exerted."

Everyone present is a genius, so their understanding is naturally needless to say.

Soon, they understood what Senior Brother Li meant.

"I understand. To lay a solid foundation for the Tao, you must first have a Tao foundation!"

"So, to increase the upper limit of the true essence, the effect will be best achieved after the Qi training is perfected!"

"..."

Everyone analyzed the effects of the Dao Yuan Fruit very thoroughly.

Lin Mo naturally understood it, and said with a smile: "I understand. Thank you, Senior Brother Li and... all the fellow Taoists for clearing up my doubts."

After saying this, he bowed to Senior Brother Li and the other geniuses, then put the two wooden boxes into his arms.

"..."

The geniuses finally came to their senses. They had been analyzing the issue for a long time, but what did this Yuan Fruit have to do with them?

What's more, most of the people present were eliminated by Lin Mo's team. Some were "killed" by Lin Mo's sneak attack, and some were killed by Long A's punches...

In short, the geniuses on the ring were all somewhat displeased with Lin Mo and Long A at this moment.

Feng Ji, in particular, stared at Lin Mo intently, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

Lin Mo also noticed the unfriendly looks from the surrounding geniuses and subconsciously wanted to glare back.

You are just a bunch of defeated generals, what are you looking at!

But on second thought, the "Golden Triangle" is currently missing one person...

Lin Mo coughed lightly and said to Long A beside him:
"I'm so sore all over from the ring fight. Xiaolong, let's go practice walking together and stretch our muscles?"

Long Ah immediately understood what he meant: "Haha, Brother Lin, let's go together!"

After the two of them finished talking, they bowed and said goodbye to everyone and walked towards the mountain path.

When they passed by the square, many freshmen from the nine academies waved and greeted them.

"Brother Lin is awesome! I'm also from the Qingshan Sect!"

Hello, hello.

"Me too, me too, Brother Lin, can you add me as your contact?"

Definitely next time, definitely next time.

"I'm from Baihua Valley, 36D, can I add my contact information?"

Let me see...I don’t want fake ones!
"..."

The unknown person who was originally in the top ten of the Immortal List became a hot figure among the freshmen of the nine academies in the blink of an eye.

The so-called "gigolo" and "gigolo" labels will be completely removed from Lin Mo after this freshman competition.

Of course, Lin Mo did not lose his mind because of the waves of cheers.

He waved and greeted the freshmen like a leader inspecting the students, with his fingers slightly bent and straightened.

……

In the evening, in Room 88 of the bamboo courtyard.

"Crack—!"

As the bamboo door was pushed open, a head popped in from outside.

Zhuang Weiwan, who was still collecting pills in the courtyard, saw the person coming and his dark circles of eyes lit up:

“Junior Brother Lin, why are you here!” If the person is not Lin Mo, who else could it be?
I saw him wearing a blue Taoist robe and walking in from outside.

Zhuang Weiwan said, "Didn't I tell you to take a rest today and not come over again?"

Lin Mo smiled and said, "It's just that the stand-in fought a few times. He's not really injured. Why should he rest?"

Zhuang Weiwan shook his head and said:

"That being said, the use of the substitute spell also requires spiritual control, so even if the body is not injured, the spiritual consciousness has actually experienced a great battle and will naturally feel tired."

"So, you'd better go back and have a good sleep now to recuperate your spiritual consciousness so that you can recover your spirit tomorrow and continue to practice the foundation-building method."

I know, but I'm used to the smell of medicine. I can't sleep well if I don't smell it for a day... Lin Mo said secretly in his heart.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, the familiar scent of medicine from Senior Sister Zhuang wafted into his nostrils, and he took a deep breath.

Yes, this is the smell. I can finally fall asleep at night!
It's a pity, I took a shower today? The smell is lighter...

Lin Mo looked at Zhuang Weiwan's Taoist robe curiously, and saw that he had changed his robe.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhuang Weiwan seemed to have thought of something and said:

"I see, you want to know about the foundation-building tribulation!"

At this point, she showed an embarrassed expression on her face:

"I blame you for this. I thought your cultivation was still far from the foundation-building tribulation, so I never told you."

what?
Lin Mo had a few question marks in his mind. After thinking for a while, he continued:

"Since you are here, sit down. I will tell you in detail about the foundation-building tribulation. But wait a moment. I have to deal with today's pill fire first!"

After saying that, she turned around and began to chant the Daoist formula again, continuing to burn the elixir fire.

I just came here to smell the "soothing fragrance", why did the topic suddenly become so high-end...

Lin Mo was silent for a moment.

But to be honest, he didn't know much about the foundation-building tribulation.

When this was mentioned, the image that suddenly came to his mind was the senior brother he saw when he first arrived at the Enlightenment Cliff that day.

The other party's crazy laughter and the scene of being struck into ashes by thunder are still vivid in my mind and cannot be forgotten.

The might of thunder was still so terrifying even to him now.

Thinking of this, he obediently sat down on the bamboo chair in the courtyard, quietly waiting for Zhuang Weiwan to deal with the Dan fire.

About a quarter of an hour later.

Zhuang Weiwan pinched the Dao formula and sealed the alchemy cauldron, then wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned around with sweat dripping down his face:

"Sorry for the long wait, Junior Brother Lin."

Lin Mo smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. We have nothing to do anyway. Senior Sister Zhuang, can we get started?"

Speaking of this in advance, Zhuang Weiwan showed a hint of apology on his face again:
"Junior Brother Lin, I should have told you this earlier. I never thought you had such a good understanding. You were able to quickly practice the top-grade fire spell I gave you."

"I guess your foundation is almost built, right? My, my, it seems that you are not far from the foundation-building tribulation. There is a good chance that you can complete the ascension within the 100-day foundation-building period."

Originally, Lin Mo was fine, but after hearing the last sentence, he was startled and said in a dry tone:

"Uh... Senior Sister Zhuang, what does it mean that the Heavenly Tribulation is not far away?"

"That's exactly what it means." Zhuang Weiwan glanced at him and said, "With Junior Brother Lin Mo's talent, once you have a good foundation, you will soon be able to perfect your Qi training. By then, you will be able to attract lightning to overcome the tribulation and ascend to the spirit world!"

Zhuang Weiwan seemed to see his worry, so he explained:

"Junior Brother Lin, there is no need to worry too much. The more solid your foundation is, the less danger there will be in overcoming the tribulation. Moreover, with Junior Brother Lin and Junior Sister Chu's qualifications, there may not be a thunder tribulation that befalls you at that time."

Lin Mo, who was originally very nervous, was stunned for a moment after hearing this and said:

"There may not be a thunder tribulation? What does this mean?"

The next second, he heard Zhuang Weiwan say something that completely overturned the theory of basic cultivation education he had received in the past eighteen years.

In the dim courtyard, Zhuang Weiwan said with bright eyes:
"Cultivating immortals is all about following the will of heaven."

"As long as the time, location and people are right, you can ascend to heaven without even practicing."
