First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 64: Immortal Technique Tower

"This is the token of the inner disciples. I have already recorded Fellow Daoist's information for you," said Ma, the steward, with a smile.

"With this token, you can freely travel through the various major areas of the Linjiang Sect without any hindrance," Ma continued.

"Also, after entering the inner sect, Fellow Daoist can choose a spiritual vein area to establish a residence. Do you have a preferred location?" Ma asked.

"I haven't considered it yet," Shen Mo replied, shaking his head.

Although he had long coveted an independent cave dwelling, he didn't have many opportunities to visit the inner sect dwellings. Therefore, he was still unfamiliar with which area would be better.

"If Fellow Daoist doesn't have a preferred location, I can take care of it for you and find a suitable inner sect residence," Ma offered.

Ma, who had been practicing in the inner sect for many years, was well-versed in all matters within the sect. If he was willing to take the initiative to choose a location for him, Shen Mo naturally couldn't ask for more.

"No need to thank me," Ma said with a smile. "Being able to help Fellow Daoist brings joy to my heart."

This world is just like the saying goes. Life is like a tree full of monkeys. If you are in a low position and look up from below, all you can see is a series of buttocks. But if you can climb to the top and look down from a high place, all you can see are smiling faces.

The reason for Ma's change in attitude was obviously related to the potential Shen Mo displayed when he opened his three major dantians.

"All the information has been corrected. If Fellow Daoist has no other matters, you may leave," Ma said before Shen Mo departed.

Before leaving, Ma reminded him, "According to the rules of the sect, as a newly promoted inner disciple, you can use the inner sect token to go to the Immortal Technique Tower and choose a technique. If you have time, don't forget to go."

"Okay, I will remember," Shen Mo replied, clasping his fists in gratitude before turning to leave.

"Finally, I have entered the inner sect!" Shen Mo exclaimed, holding the inner sect token in his hand with a bright smile on his face.

There were countless cultivation sects of all sizes in the Red Flame Kingdom. In some small sects, Qi Gathering stage cultivators could even hold the position of elders or even control the sect. But for the Linjiang Sect, one of the five major sects, only those in the Qi Gathering stage were truly considered formal disciples.

Those disciples who struggled on the outer periphery couldn't enjoy the true treatment of the sect. It was more like a place to raise insects.

As an inner disciple, holding the token allowed one to freely travel through the major areas outside the restricted areas of the sect. They could have the opportunity to choose a mentor, receive a monthly stipend unconditionally, participate in various sect activities, and interact with the elders, elite disciples, and even higher-level figures within the Linjiang Sect.

There were many privileges and benefits that outer disciples didn't have the qualifications to access.

After entering the inner sect, the true face of the Linjiang Sect gradually revealed itself.

Shen Mo tightly held the inner sect token, as if he had grasped the key to opening a new world.

Residential area, outer region.

After leaving the steward's hall, Shen Mo didn't immediately go to the Immortal Technique Tower to choose a technique. Instead, he returned home.

"I heard that the techniques in the Immortal Technique Tower are not simply placed there for anyone to choose. To select a high-quality technique, one needs not only strength but also a certain level of discernment," Shen Mo said to himself.

He opened the Destiny Panel and focused his gaze on the Destiny Points.

After accumulating for some time, he had accumulated sixty Destiny Points.

"Before going to the Immortal Arts Tower, first enhance your Heavenly Fate, make adequate preparations before setting off."

With this in mind, Shen Mo began to consume Heavenly Fate points to allocate them to himself.

The Heavenly Fate he chose to enhance was the special Heavenly Fate he had extracted before, "Keen Eyesight."

"Keen Eyesight (Green): Your eyesight is good, often giving you the opportunity to find hidden treasures."

This Heavenly Fate had previously allowed him to pick the Red Cloud Cauldron in the market, bringing him a significant opportunity.

At this moment, it was time to display his keen eyesight again, and he planned to strengthen it.

"You have consumed ten Heavenly Fate points in an attempt to enhance the special Heavenly Fate (Keen Eyesight), but failed."

To upgrade from a green Heavenly Fate to a blue Heavenly Fate, it requires consuming ten Heavenly Fate points each time.

Moreover, the success rate of the upgrade is not high.

"You have consumed ten Heavenly Fate points in an attempt to enhance the special Heavenly Fate (Keen Eyesight), but failed."

"You have consumed ten Heavenly Fate points in an attempt to enhance the special Heavenly Fate (Keen Eyesight), but failed."

"You have consumed ten Heavenly Fate points in an attempt to enhance the special Heavenly Fate (Keen Eyesight), and succeeded."

He tried four times in a row, all ending in failure, until the fifth attempt finally succeeded.

"Congratulations, the special Heavenly Fate (Keen Eyesight) has successfully upgraded to 'Gaze Like a Torch'."

After seeing this message, Shen Mo quickly checked the introduction of this Heavenly Fate.

"Gaze Like a Torch (Blue): Your gaze is like a torch, often able to see through various disguises and directly perceive the essence."

"The introduction seems somewhat ordinary," Shen Mo glanced at it and murmured, "But since it has successfully upgraded to a blue grade, the effect should be much stronger than before."

Equipping it in his Heavenly Fate slot, Shen Mo began to try allocating points to his basic Heavenly Fate.

However, the remaining ten points all ended in failure.

"Ah, the success rate... I can only take it slowly."

He sighed, adjusted his mindset, and calmed his restless emotions.

He would have to wait until he accumulated enough Heavenly Fate for another breakthrough.

The path to immortality is long and cannot be rushed.

He still had plenty of time, with a lifespan of two hundred years after breaking through the Qi Gathering Realm.

Even if he subtracted the twenty-eight years he had already lived, he still had plenty of time to squander and accumulate.

He could even cultivate a Heaven's Chosen Fate through perseverance.

The Immortal Arts Tower is located beside the Canghai Pavilion in the inner sect area of the Linjiang Sect.

The tower has a total of five floors, housing countless ancient scriptures and treasures accumulated by the Linjiang Sect over a thousand years.

"I inform the Elder Guardian of the Tower, disciple Shen Mo, a newly promoted inner sect disciple, has come to select an immortal art."

Arriving at the counter inside the tower, Shen Mo respectfully spoke to the elderly man in the blue robe behind the counter.

"A newly promoted disciple?" The elder in the blue robe took the identity token handed over by Shen Mo, examined it, and returned it after confirming its authenticity.

"Well, it's indeed true."

"Go in." The elder in the blue robe waved his sleeve, enveloping Shen Mo in a layer of spiritual light.

"Remember, you can only move around on the first floor, and you only have half an hour to choose. When the time is up, the spiritual light will dissipate, and you will be expelled by the restrictions of the Immortal Arts Tower."

"Also, remember not to be greedy. Finding a suitable immortal art is enough. If you hesitate and miss the time, you may return empty-handed."

"Okay, I understand."

Shen Mo nodded and then stepped into the first floor of the Immortal Arts Tower.
