Chapter 131 Extreme wisdom will inevitably hurt you
Just as Lin Shen guessed, the next morning, Zhiwutang came directly to Jiuyang Taoist Temple and asked about what happened last night.
Lin Shen didn't hide anything and told him about the attack.
Of course, he did not reveal the identity of Leng Guangting. He only said that he was an unidentified person with great strength and that he was lucky enough to escape.
The flag officer of the martial arts hall who asked the question didn't say anything and left directly after asking.
It wasn't until he walked out of Jiuyang Taoist Academy that a member of the Zhiwu Hall accompanying him couldn't help but said:
"Sir, this is too much of a coincidence. Not long after Lin Shen was attacked, something happened at Lengguangting. Is there any connection between the two?"
"maybe."
The flag officer frowned and glanced at the entrance of Jiuyang Taoist Temple behind him.
"But if the practitioner of the Mingqiao Realm who attacked Lin Shen is really Leng Guangting, then how did Lin Shen escape from him?"
The member of the Zhiwu Hall who raised the question was immediately speechless and speechless.
Indeed, Leng Guangting’s strength is obvious to all.
Even before taking the Blood Spirit Pill, Lengguang Ting, who had a mysterious weapon in his hand, was undoubtedly the best among the many powerful people at the ninth level of Mingqiao.
Although Lin Shen was a genius, after all, he had just been promoted to the Mingqiao Realm not long ago, and it was impossible to escape from the clutches of Lengguangting no matter how hard he thought.
Could it be that someone else attacked Lin Shen?
The flag officer continued: "Furthermore, although Leng Guangting was seriously injured when he escaped, it is impossible for Lin Shen alone to kill him, and he still succeeded in such a short time. It would have been Ming Ming.
Practitioners from the sixth and seventh levels of the aperture are more or less the same!"
Everyone thought it made sense.
"Then it seems that Lin Shen has nothing to do with this matter."
"Wouldn't this mean we have one more case? We still have to find the murderer who attacked Lin Shen!"
"Oh, it looks like I'm going to be very busy next time!"
"If you have time to complain, it's better to think of how to solve the problem quickly. The adults were scolded by Hall Master Xia in the meeting last night. They will probably take it out on us later!"
After hearing the flag officer's words, everyone suddenly started to wail repeatedly.
When the people in charge of the martial arts hall left, Lin Shen suddenly thought of Xiao Ai.
The villa has been turned into ruins, and the little guy may have no place to go now.
Sure enough, when he returned to the ruins of the villa, he saw Xiao Ai standing blankly in the ruins, looking like he had been struck by a bolt from the blue.
After seeing Lin Shen, she rushed towards him with tears in her eyes.
After a lot of effort, Lin Shen finally comforted Xiao Ai and asked her to stay with Shen Jiangyue for a few days and then come back after he bought a new place to live.
Late at night, inside the Taoist wooden building.
Lin Shen sat on the floor of the practice room, looking at the void in front of him.
Time passed minute by minute, and the moment it reached zero, Lin Shen summoned the clone without hesitation.
As a result, when I took a closer look at my talent, my expression suddenly became extremely strange.
[Hui Ji will be injured: Cultivation speed +200%, life span -80%]
Is this considered the advanced talent of Tian Envy Yingcai?
Lin Shen was a little confused about whether to laugh or cry, but then he looked thoughtful again.
Cultivation speed +200%, this is undoubtedly a super talent!
It’s twice as good as Tian Envy Yingcai!
Even if the later side effects of -80% life span are a bit exaggerated, Lin Shen does not intend to give up.
"The lifespan of practitioners in the Mingqiao Realm can generally reach one hundred, seventeen or eighty years. If you deduct 80%, they will be over thirty years old."
Lin Shen nodded secretly.
Calculating this, the clone still has about ten years of life left.
Not too little.
But in this case, this clone can no longer be allowed to take natural treasures that will shorten its lifespan.
Otherwise, the clone may die within a few months.
Lin Shen couldn't bear to lose the powerful BUFF of +200% cultivation speed.
"It's better to let the clone with superior martial arts take it."
Among the several clone talents currently, the martial arts talent is relatively the most replaceable. Even if it is gone, Lin Shen won't feel bad, and maybe he can get a better talent.
"But don't switch this talent casually. If you accidentally cheat yourself, you won't have anywhere to cry."
Lin Shen thought for a while, but restrained himself from the idea of switching to the Huiji Indestructible Talent.
After all, the operable space of this talent is too small, only 20% of the remaining lifespan. If your lifespan is not the expected 1780 years, but only 150 years, or even lower, then use it, maybe
One day it died accidentally.
Although the possibility was low, Lin Shen still didn't want to take the risk.
Anyway, I just practice slower, so it doesn’t matter.
"Heaven is jealous of talented people, and their wisdom will inevitably be damaged. I wonder if there are any more exaggerated talents than these two?"
After his thoughts wandered away for a moment, Lin Shen returned his mind to cultivation.
In the following time, Lin Shen took the time to refine the Mo Feng Inkstone and successfully controlled this mysterious weapon.
After that, he made several trips to the East District to look for and buy a new house. After Xiao Ai moved in, he stayed in the Taoist temple to concentrate on his cultivation and never went out.
A month goes by in a blink of an eye.
Lin Shen's cultivation progress improved rapidly due to the talent of being extremely intelligent and bound to be injured. In one month, he was successfully promoted to the third level of Mingqiao.
During this period, he also successfully mastered the four arts of Water Mirror Technique, Wind Control Technique, Palm Thunder Technique and Paper Man Moving Technique.
At the same time, he also cultivated the four palm and claw skills to perfection, pushing the realm of the Weapon Melting Hand a step further.
[Name: Lin Shen]
[Talent: Bypassing]
[Realm: Mingqiao third level 18%]
[Kung Fu: Nine Yang Heart Sutra (57% proficiency), Melting Hands (50% entry), Forbidden Golden Armor (10% entry), Yunlong Law (0% entry), Shenyang Nine Swords (0% entry). 】
[Spells: Seven Jue Sword Qi (89% on the first level), Palm Thunder (45% on the first level), Paper Man Transporting Technique (23% on the first level), Wind Control (16% on the first level), Water
Mirror Technique (8% on the first level)]
[Number of clones 6 (97%)]
Looking at the data on the panel, Lin Shen nodded with satisfaction.
The Weapon Melting Hand is only half the progress before he can break through the realm, which is just the Ten Perfection Realm Palm Techniques and Claw Techniques.
At his current martial arts training speed, if he practices with all his strength, he will be able to break through in about a month.
Of course, Lin Shen didn't plan to do this, as it would be too inefficient.
In comparison, it is more efficient to kill and prove the way.
"Speaking of it, I haven't gone out to practice for a long time. It's time to do some tasks. You can not only get the talent effect of killing Zhengdao, but also earn some merit to exchange for the nourishing pill."
After calming down, Lin Shen looked at the spell column on the panel.
Because most of the energy is focused on improving cultivation and martial arts, as well as practicing new techniques, the Seven Jue Sword Qi has not yet broken through to the second level.
But it's not far off.
With the talent of killing to prove the way, maybe two triggers of the effect can break through the realm!
As for the four new techniques, the Water Mirror Technique and the Wind Control Technique were only practiced by Lin Shen to make it easier to practice in the wild. Therefore, after mastering them, he did not invest too much energy in practicing them.
To describe it in four words, it means practicing according to circumstances.
As for the palm thunder, although this technique is a relatively basic technique, it is not weak in power, and it can restrain evil spirits and ghosts. The key is that it does not consume much infuriating energy.
When the opponent is not strong, it is foreseeable that Palm Thunder will be Lin Shen's most commonly used technique against the enemy.
The name of Paper Man Moving Technique is very misleading. Based on its reputation alone, you might think it is a technique for moving objects, but in fact it is a type of talisman technique.
This technique involves cutting talisman paper into the shape of paper figures or paper beasts, using them as spiritual guides, and then summoning paper soldiers to manipulate them.
The so-called paper soldiers are actually similar to the talismans.
It's just that it's more convenient to make. It doesn't require a lot of materials like a talisman. It only requires a piece of talisman paper.
However, in this case, the strength of the paper soldiers will be a great test of the magic skills of the caster.
The caster's magical attainments are profound enough, and the paper soldiers produced are naturally powerful and powerful, and can easily kill Tongxuan realm monsters.
But if your skills in magic are too poor, the paper soldiers you create will have trouble even dealing with the demonic beasts in the Spiritual Enlightenment Realm.
All in all, this is a unique technique with a very low lower limit but an equally impressive upper limit.
Thinking of this, Lin Shen took out a yellow talisman paper from the storage ring.
The talisman paper has been cut into a human shape, and it can be seen that the workmanship is quite exquisite.
This is the spiritual guide for performing the paper man moving technique.
There are many similar things. These were all things that were originally placed in the Lengguangting Storage Ring. They are all spiritual guides for performing various spells. Now they are all cheaper for Lin Shen.
The talisman paper is just an ordinary yellow talisman.
Talisman paper like this can be divided into five grades: gold, silver, purple, blue, and yellow according to the level of production technology and the preciousness of the materials.
Among them, the golden talisman made of gold thread paper is the highest, and the yellow talisman made of ordinary yellow paper is the lowest.
The level of the talisman paper will also affect the strength of the paper soldiers, but it is not as obvious as the caster's magical attainments.
The collection of Lengguangting only contains purple, blue and yellow talisman paper.
Among them, there are only two or three purple talismans.
There are slightly more blue talismans, about twenty or thirty.
The yellow talismans were the most numerous, with hundreds of them, and they were all cut out, enough for Lin Shen to use for a while.
After playing with the talisman paper for a while, Lin Shen then put it away, got up and left the practice room.
Today happens to be the disciple level challenge that happens every three months.
Although there were almost no prefectural-level disciples who would not think of challenging Lin Shen, a practitioner of the Mingqiao Realm, there was no guarantee that there would be people who wanted to take advantage of the loopholes, so he still arrived at the scene.
Originally, Lin Shen was still thinking about whether to challenge the disciples of the Upper Court, but after asking, he found out that he had to report at least two months in advance to challenge the disciples of the Upper Court.
After all, all the disciples of the Upper House are busy with their affairs and often spend months practicing in seclusion or traveling far away for training. If they do not report in advance, it is easy for them to have conflicts in time.
In this regard, the disciples of the upper court still have preferential treatment than the disciples of the lower court.
"Okay, let's wait until next time."
Lin Shen didn't care, so he reported it and pointed out the challenge to Yan Jingren.
Then before the disciple level challenge ended that day, the news spread throughout the Taoist temple like a hurricane.
Nowadays, countless people in the Taoist Academy pay attention to any news about Lin Shen, let alone challenging the disciples of the Upper Academy.
Not surprisingly, this news caused quite a stir in the Taoist temple.
This disciple level challenge has not yet ended, and many people are already looking forward to the disciple level challenge in three months.
"Hahaha, I knew that after breaking through the Mingqiao realm, you would definitely challenge Yan Jingren, just as I expected!"
Yang Zhongyi laughed and patted Lin Shen on the shoulder.
Looking at his excited look, those who didn't know it thought he was going to challenge Yan Jingren.
It is worth mentioning that Yang Zhongyi originally took over the task of repairing the Baihu Mountain Cave and collected materials in the Longyuan Mountains. He only rushed back temporarily for the disciple level challenge.
In this level challenge, he and Su Nian were successfully promoted to Xuan level disciples.
"Lin Shen, I heard that you were assassinated last month?" Su Nian suddenly asked.
Yang Zhongyi was startled and his eyes widened in astonishment: "Really or not, Lao Lin?"
Lin Shen smiled slightly: "The matter is over."
The implication is that he admitted it.
"Where is the identity of the assassin?"
"I am not sure as well."
"Zhiwutang didn't catch the assassin?"
"It is said that it is still under investigation!"
"That means we haven't found it yet." Yang Zhongyi frowned, "Old Lin, you better not go out during this period and stay in the Taoist temple."
Anyone who dares to assassinate Lin Shen must be a practitioner of the Mingqiao Realm.
Being targeted by a Mingqiao realm assassin makes one's spine shiver just thinking about it!
"Don't worry, I'm measured."
Seeing that Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian were still waiting to talk, Lin Shen quickly interrupted.
Just kidding, if others don't know, how can he still be unclear? The so-called 'assassin' has long been separated from his body and is dead. It is impossible to assassinate him again.
"Have you all heard about Commander Leng?" Lin Shen changed the subject.
As expected, Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian's attention was immediately drawn away.
"I've heard a lot about it." Su Nian said with emotion, "I didn't expect Commander Leng to be secretly refining the Blood Spirit Pill. It's really unexpected."
Among the three people present, the one who best understands Leng Guangting's situation is undoubtedly Su Nian.
There are many similarities between Su Nian and the Leng family.
A hundred years ago, it was also one of the eighteen aristocratic families.
Today, a hundred years later, it has also fallen into the ranks of the cold spectrum.
It's just that unlike the Leng family, the Su family has long given up the idea of returning to the 18th family because of something that happened a few years ago, so it is not like Leng Guangting's deep obsession that leads to it going astray.
Yang Zhongyi also looked sad.
After the incident in Leng Guangting spread, it caused quite a stir in the Taoist temple.
No one expected that this usually low-key boss would secretly do so many harmful things.
The disciple level challenge is the next day.
Lin Shen came to the Court of Merit.
Behind the counter of the mission hall, Jiao Yu was on duty. When he saw Lin Shen, a bright smile immediately broke out on his face.
"Senior Brother Lin, are you here to take over the mission?"
Lin Shen smiled at the girl and nodded, then slowly inspected the cabinet shelves.
Looking at it, he was surprised to find that there were far fewer tasks related to the Longyuan Mountains. It seemed that there were not even half of the previous number.
Out of curiosity, Lin Shen came to the counter and asked Jiao Yu.
After listening, Jiao Yu explained:
"That's the aftermath of the war between Linlong City and the three demon tribes."
"In that war, nearly 70% to 80% of the demonic beasts on the periphery of the Longyuan Mountains were killed. They haven't recovered yet, so most of the related tasks have been reduced."
"But don't worry, Senior Brother Lin. In about half a year at most, he should gradually recover."
Jiao Yu said very firmly.
The number of monsters is huge, and the low-level monsters are as inexhaustible as weeds.
Often after a bunch of them are killed, it won't take long for a new batch to appear.
Due to the unique geographical environment of the Longyuan Mountains, the aura is richer than other places, which is of great benefit to the growth of monsters.
Therefore, countless monsters migrate to the Longyuan Mountains every year, and then fight with other monsters for territory.
Every year, more monsters die in territorial battles than die at the hands of human practitioners.
So despite the fact that there are only a few monsters outside the Longyuan Mountains now, it won't be long before they will return to the previous situation where they were overrun with monsters.
After listening to Jiao Yu's words, Lin Shen suddenly realized, and then fell into hard thinking.
All the monsters in the Longyuan Mountains have been killed, so there is no way to get the talent of killing and proving the way. Where should I go now?
Seeing Lin Shen's distress, Jiao Yu thought for a while and said:
"Senior Brother Lin, if you don't know what mission to take, I have a suggestion."
Lin Shen looked up in surprise and asked curiously: "What's your suggestion?"
Jiao Yu took out a piece of parchment and handed it to Lin Shen.
"Senior Brother Lin, you can take a look at this."
Lin Shen took it and took a look, his eyes gradually brightened.
What is recorded on the parchment is a task.
According to the description, there is a creature called Iron Bone Fish in Xiyan Daze, west of Linlong City.
This creature is shaped like a carp, and its bones are black in color. It is very suitable for forging into weapons.
A small amount of black iron bone can increase the forging efficiency of magic weapon-level weapons by 20%, and its precious value is self-evident.
The task content is to collect this black iron bone, and the reward for every five taels is one hit.
Lin Shen didn't particularly care about meritorious service or anything like that.
This kind of iron-bone fish is not considered a monster, and it poses almost no threat.
The key is that the meat of the iron-bone fish is delicious, and eating it can increase the physical strength of the demon clan, so it is highly coveted by the demon clan.
Whenever there are lakes with iron-bone fish, there must be one or more demon tribes around them.
On this piece of parchment, several lakes with iron-bone fishes were marked.
In other words, as long as you go near these lakes, you will definitely encounter a large number of monsters.
Lin Shen suddenly smiled, nodded to Jiao Yu and said with a smile: "Thank you, junior sister, for your suggestion. This task is very suitable for me!"
"I wish I could help you, senior brother!" Jiao Yu said with a smile, and quickly helped Lin Shen register.
While Jiao Yu was registering, Lin Shen pretended to be casual and said: "By the way, I heard someone say a few days ago that there seems to be a magic weapon with similar power but more powerful than the Nine Yang Talisman Sword. Junior Sister has it.
have you heard of it?"
Jiao Yu did not doubt that he was there and responded casually: "Senior brother, are you talking about the Chunyang Talisman Sword?"
Lin Shen's heart moved, and he pretended to be confused: "Pure Yang Talisman Sword?"
"The Pure Yang Talisman Sword is also a magical weapon, but its quality is far higher than that of the Nine Yang Talisman Sword. It is said that it is only one step behind the Mysterious Weapon. It is roughly equivalent to the difference between a magical weapon and a Talisman weapon."
The quality is higher than that of the Nine-Yang Talisman Sword, a high-grade magic weapon, but it has not yet reached the level of a mysterious weapon. What does that mean?
The ultimate magic weapon?
Lin Shen muttered secretly, but his face remained calm as he continued to ask:
"How come I haven't seen the Pure Yang Talisman Sword in the Merit Academy?"
"That's because the Academy of Merit can only exchange high-grade magic weapons at most, so the Pure Yang Talisman Sword is not in the exchange list."
Seeing that Lin Shen seemed very interested, Jiao Yu said a few more words.
"But I heard that in the past, there were disciples of the Upper Academy who spent a lot of merit in exchange for multiple Nine-Yang Talisman Swords, and then sought the fusion method from the master, and then tempered and fused the Nine-Yang Talisman Swords step by step, and then eliminated the impurities and returned to pure form.
Yang, and finally get the Pure Yang Talisman Sword!"
"With that Pure Yang Talisman Sword, that disciple of the Upper Academy is said to have become the top ten disciples of the Upper Academy!"
Lin Shen no longer cared about the last sentence.
He already knew in his heart that the one in the storage ring should be the Pure Yang Talisman Sword.
As the leader of Leng Guangting, it is not difficult to refine such a pure Yang magic sword.
Lin Shen was pleasantly surprised when he thought that it was a powerful magical weapon second only to the Mysterious Weapon.
The Mo Feng Inkstone and the Pure Yang Talisman Sword are two magic weapons, one for defense and one for attack. They complement each other, and their combat effectiveness cannot be greatly improved!
