Located in a wooden building on the west side of the island.
Han Liang opened his eyes from practicing and took a deep breath. The refreshing fragrance still lingered in his nose.
"The Zhu Misan in Muzu City is indeed very effective. With this Zhu Misan to assist in my practice, I should be able to break through to the ninth level of Mingqiao in a short time!"
Thinking of this, Han Liang couldn't help but smile.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, followed by the door being suddenly pushed open, and the person rushed into the room without knocking.
"I'm furious!"
Kuang Hai strode to the table in the center of the room and sat down, slamming the table down with anger on his face.
Han Liang frowned slightly, and then a flash of helplessness flashed in his eyes. He stood up and came to the table, and sat down as well.
"You're so angry, what happened?"
"What else can happen?" Kuang Hai gritted his teeth and said, "It's not Lin Shen from Jiuyang Taoist Academy who first intercepted the Xuan Hua Liquid I wanted from Elder Ji, and now comes to rob me of my Xuandu Order!
"
"Ling Xuandu was intercepted?" Han Liang looked surprised.
Kuang Hai's eyes twitched and he said angrily: "Elder Ji personally asked for the Xuandu Order that was originally intended for me, but instead gave it to Lin Shen from Jiuyang Taoist Academy!"
Han Liang pondered for a moment, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"I heard that Lin Shen had begun to condense his spiritual veins. It was the time when he needed the Xuan Hua Liquid. I thought about where he had learned about the Xuandu Conference, so he asked Elder Ji for the Xuandu Order. He set up a decree in the spiritual cave.
It’s no small feat, Elder Ji will definitely not refuse his request!”
As soon as these words came out, Kuang Hai became even more angry.
"That Lin Shen has already obtained eight drops of Xuan Hua Liquid from Elder Ji, which is more than enough to condense the second-grade spiritual veins, and he is trying to grab the Xuandu Order from me. Is it possible that he is trying to condense the first-grade spiritual veins? I think he is clearly targeting him.
I!"
Han Liang was speechless for a moment and secretly cursed. Lin Shen is a disciple of Jiuyang Taoist Academy. He has never been to the mountain gate. He probably has never even seen what you look like. Why should he speak against you?
Kuang Hai glanced sideways at Han Liang, as if guessing his thoughts, he snorted coldly:
"Don't think I'm talking nonsense. It's not like you don't know that the Xuanguang period elders in the master-disciple line have recently expressed their intention to accept Lin Shen as their disciple. I think they just intend to treat Lin Shen as their master and disciple."
Let us train the backbone of our lineage to fight against our family!"
"Elder Ji also belongs to the master-disciple lineage. He probably got the hint, so he favored Lin Shen. Otherwise, how could he give Lin Shen eight drops of Xuanhua Liquid?"
"But how did I hear that it was Lin Shen who severely injured a Blood Sea Sect monk and allowed Elder Ji to kill him? Those eight drops of Xuanhua Liquid were Elder Ji's reward for Lin Shen?" Han Liang asked hesitantly.
"I bother!"
Kuang Hai's face was full of contempt, and his disdain was palpable.
"Do you believe this too? How can a person in the Mingqiao realm severely injure a monk? He can even save his life under a monk, so he's considered very powerful!"
"In my opinion, Elder Ji is clearly trying to build momentum for Lin Shen so that several Xuan Guangqi elders will have reason to accept him as their disciple!"
When Kuang Hai said this, Han Liang was immediately shaken.
In fact, when he first heard about this, his first reaction was not to believe it.
After all, this kind of thing sounds so mysterious!
Compared with such an outrageous thing, although Kuang Hai's guess is a bit far-fetched, it is actually more convincing.
"So, is it true that those elders want to accept Lin Shen as a disciple?" Han Liang frowned.
Kuang Hai snorted heavily: "I can't control whether they want to accept Lin Shen as their disciple, but Lin Shenqian shouldn't, he shouldn't covet my Xuandu Order, I won't just let this matter go.
!”
Han Liang glanced at him and knew exactly why he was so angry.
Kuang Hai has been stagnant in the process of casting spiritual veins for nearly a year. He has worked hard to condense twenty-six spiritual veins, and is only one step away from casting a third-grade spiritual vein.
But it happened that we encountered a bottleneck at this moment.
After taking more than ten spirit-casting pills in succession, I was still unable to condense the twenty-seventh spiritual vein and take the most critical step.
He was so anxious that he felt angry and his whole temperament became quite irritable.
And just recently, he didn't know where he heard that if you use Xuanhua liquid to condense your spiritual veins, it is possible to break through the bottleneck.
So he spent a lot of money to organize everything, and finally obtained a Xuandu Order.
Who would have thought that he would be intercepted by Lin Shen midway!
If anyone encountered this kind of thing, they would be so angry that their heads would smoke, let alone Kuang Hai, who has become increasingly irritable recently.
It was a good thing that he didn't go directly to Lin Shen to take action.
Just as he was thinking this, Kuang Hai's voice suddenly came to Han Liang's ears.
"No, I still can't bear this tone. I'm going to find Lin Shen now and have a bet with him!"
The Jiuyang Sect encourages disciples to compete with each other and set their own bets, which is known as gambling competition.
The winner can get bets such as elixirs and magic weapons, and can also become famous in the sect.
Therefore, this method of sparring is quite popular among disciples.
It's just that gambling disputes have always occurred between official disciples, but there has never been a precedent for official disciples to engage in gambling disputes with Taoist disciples.
If this is spread, regardless of winning or losing, the reputation will not be good.
However, Kuang Hai, who was blinded by anger, obviously could not care about this anymore and made up his mind to leave immediately.
Seeing this, Han Liang quickly stopped him and said urgently: "Lin Shen is currently in Jiuyang Taoist Temple. How can you get in without the Taoist Talisman?"
Kuang Hai made a move, but then he snorted coldly.
"There is only half a month until the Xuandu Conference. It is said to be about ten days' journey from Muzu City. If Lin Shen wants to catch up with the Xuandu Conference, he will probably set off within these two days. I will go directly to the North Gate to wait for him.
!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Liang slammed the door and walked out without waiting for anything else.
Han Liang was stunned on the spot, and it took him a while to recover, and he rubbed his brows with a headache.
To be honest, if possible, he just wanted to practice with peace of mind and did not want to get involved in the sect's power struggle, and he did not approve of Kuang Hai's behavior.
If Lin Shen is really a genius that the master and disciples like, then Kuang Haimao rushes to have a bet with him, win or lose, but if Lin Shen is seriously injured, it is very likely to cause dissatisfaction among the master and disciples, and the consequences are unpredictable.
.
"Kuang Hai has condensed twenty-six spiritual veins. Looking at the inner disciples of the sect, their cultivation level is enough to rank among the top ten, and Lin Shen."
Han Liangliang paused for the first time and hesitated slightly.
"Even if Lin Shen's statement about injuring the disciples of the Blood Sea Sect is a lie, his strength should not be much worse. Even if he is not as good as Kuang Hai, I think he won't lose too badly."
Han Liang sighed.
Until now, he could only comfort himself in this way.
Jiuyang Taoist Temple, Upper Court.
Practice room.
Looking at the clone in front of him, Lin Shen nodded with satisfaction.
After using up all the spirit-casting pills, the number of spiritual veins in the clone's body finally increased to fourteen.
What's more important is that so far, there is no sign of bottlenecks.
According to this trend, it should not be a problem to condense the eighteen spiritual veins by analogy.
If you are lucky, you may be able to reach more than twenty!
Lin Shen was filled with joy.
"The next step is to go to Muzu City to participate in the Xuandu Conference and collect Xuanhua Liquid!"
"Calculate the time, it's time to set off today."
Lin Shen is not like Xie Jingsheng, who can borrow the Dragon Tooth Flying Boat from his master.
If he wants to go to Muzu City, he can only take a flying monster.
For this reason, Lin Shen exchanged it for a flying crane at the Merit Court early.
At Feihe's speed, it would take ten days to go from Linlong City to Muzu City if everything goes well.
At this time, there is only half a month left before the Xuandu Conference is held, and it is time to set off.
The storage ring is always equipped with various supplies, so Lin Shen can set off directly without any preparation.
But before leaving, he planned to go back to the East District.
After all, I haven't seen Xiao Ai for three or four months.
It will probably take a month or two before I leave this time, so I have to tell the little one first.
After leaving Jiuyang Taoist Temple, Lin Shen returned to his residence in the East District.
Before he walked through the door, he sensed three scents of home.
"One is Xiao Ai's breath, and the remaining two are Shen Jiangyue's cat demon?"
Lin Shen opened the door and walked in. When he came to the living room, he saw that, besides Xiao Ai, Tang Yue and Tang Mei were also there.
"Lin Shen!"
Hearing the sound of opening the door, Xiao Ai turned around and saw a light of surprise in his eyes. He jumped off the sofa and pounced on Lin Shen.
"you are back!"
Lin Shen caught Xiao Ai with a smile and was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed. He looked Xiao Ai up and down and said in surprise:
"Little guy, have you broken through to the Tongxuan realm?"
"That's right." Xiao Ai raised his head triumphantly, "I just broke through half a month ago."
Lin Shen was immediately amazed.
As far as the demon clan is concerned, the little guy's cultivation level is improving at an incredibly fast rate!
Among the demon clan, he is just another cheater!
At this rate, I'm afraid it won't take more than a year or two for the little guy to survive the human calamity and become a demon cultivator!
It seems that General Cat was right at the beginning. The little guy must have some kind of strange blood, otherwise the normal demon clan’s cultivation level would not be able to improve at such an astonishing rate!
Lin Shen nodded secretly.
Xiao Ai's strength is developing rapidly, which is naturally a good thing for him.
He might be able to have more helpers in the future.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, but Lin Shen remained calm. He touched Xiao Ai's head, comforted the little guy for a few words, and then looked at Tang Yue and Tang Mei.
After Lin Shen came in, the two women subconsciously stood up immediately, but did not speak. They just stood in the distance and watched him talking to Xiao Ai, looking very reserved to the naked eye.
In fact, it's not the two women's fault. In fact, Lin Shen is different now.
Compared with when we met half a year ago, his strength and cultivation have improved several times.
Not only has he been promoted to the ninth level of Mingqiao, he has also gathered forty-five spiritual veins, and he is only one step away from becoming a monk.
Even though he did not deliberately release the pressure and energy, the sharp intuition unique to the demon clan still made Tang Yue and Tang Mei feel a heart-stopping sense of oppression from him, and they subconsciously did not dare to act recklessly.
Even Tang Mei, who used to be the most lively and active person, became cautious now.
Sensing the strangeness between the two women, Lin Shen did not expose it, but smiled slightly and said, "You have worked hard to take care of Xiao Ai during this period."
"It's not hard work, it's nothing." Tang Yue waved her hands quickly, glanced at Xiao Ai, and smiled, "On the contrary, Xiao Ai helped us a lot."
"Oh?" Lin Shen looked at Xiao Ai who was shrinking in his arms in surprise.
The little guy immediately raised his head to express his merit and said proudly: "I have dealt with a lot of bad guys recently!"
Lin Shen understood immediately.
I'm sorry, the little guy recently followed Shen Jiangyue to rescue his fellow tribesmen.
Considering that those who would attack civet cats, except for the special situation of Wild Wolf, most of them are not very high in cultivation. At best, they are only in the Long Breathing Realm. They do not pose a threat to Xiao Ai who is already in the Tongxuan Realm. Lin Shen can only
He didn't say much, he just nodded clearly.
Immediately, he glanced at Tang Mei, who had been silent all this time, and showed a half-smiling look.
"You used to be very lively and kept catching me asking questions. Why are you so ladylike when we meet today?"
Tang Mei's face suddenly turned red.
After being teased by Lin Shen, she became less reserved and simply made a playful face towards Lin Shen.
"I've always been a lady, okay?"
Lin Shen laughed, and seeing Tang Mei's face getting redder and redder, he stopped teasing her and started talking about business.
"I'm going to leave the city next. I'll leave today. I may not be back for a month or two. Xiao Ai will have to trouble you to take care of her for a while."
"Ah, you are leaving the city again?" Xiao Ai grabbed the clothes on his chest with a reluctant expression.
"I have something very important to do, but don't worry, there won't be any danger."
Lin Shen touched the little guy's head and comforted him, then looked at Tang Yue and Tang Mei.
"Xiao Ai, I'll leave it to you."
Tang Yue immediately nodded and agreed.
To be honest, they were eager to agree to such a good thing.
Although Xiao Ai is simple, she is more powerful than all the cat demons in Shen Jiangyue, and one of them can rival them all.
With Xiao Ai here during this period, their actions to rescue their fellow tribesmen went much smoother than before.
If they weren't worried about Lin Shen's thoughts, they would all want to persuade Xiao Ai to join Shen Jiangyue.
Rather than saying that they are taking care of Xiao Ai, it is better to say that Xiao Ai is helping them.
It was getting late, and after comforting Xiao Ai, Lin Shen stopped delaying and turned around to leave under the reluctant eyes of the little guy.
Watching Lin Shen disappear at the door, Tang Yue turned his head and saw that Xiao Ai was still dazed, so he stepped forward to pick her up and comfort her softly.
"Don't worry, Master Lin Shen will be fine for sure, and he also said that he will be back in a month or two."
Tang Mei nodded and said: "Xiao Ai, if you are worried, you should survive the human tribulation as soon as possible and transform into a human form. Then you can follow Master Lin Shen and run around."
He does not mean that.
Xiao Ai's eyes immediately lit up.
Yes, Lin Shen didn't take her with him because her cultivation level was too low.
Then it’s okay as long as you become stronger!
Yes, that’s it!
Xiao Ai nodded secretly and decided to practice harder in the future and survive the human calamity as soon as possible!
After leaving his residence, Lin Shen rushed straight to the north gate.
Muzu City is located to the north of Linlong City, on the other side of the Longyuan Mountains.
If you want to go to Muzu City, you must pass deep into the Yongyuan Mountains on the way.
In order to avoid going too deep and bumping into the demon monks, it is necessary to avoid the depths of the Longyuan Mountains and make a circle from the outside.
The Longyuan Mountains stretch for tens of thousands of miles, and this long journey alone will take an extra three or four days.
All the way to the north gate, he took out the talisman and left the city. Just when Lin Sheng was about to summon Feihe to start his journey, a sound that seemed similar to his déjà vu suddenly came to his ears.
"Junior Brother Lin!"
Lin Shen followed the sound and saw two young men walking towards him with smiles on their faces.
One of them was the Shen Zening whom he had met when he surrounded and killed the Yan family's children!
"Senior Brother Shen, why are you here?"
Halfway through his words, Lin Shen reacted suddenly.
"Senior Brother Shen is also going to Muzu City to attend the Xuandu Conference?"
"Exactly."
Shen Zening showed a gentle smile.
"I heard that Junior Brother Lin is also going, so I'm waiting here. Junior Brother Lin, you don't mind coming with us, right?"
Lin Shen smiled and said: "Of course I am very happy to be with Senior Brother Shen."
Shen Zening smiled broadly, patted his head suddenly, and introduced the young man next to Lin Shen.
"Look at my memory, I almost forgot to introduce you. This is Senior Brother Qu Kequ, an inner disciple of the sect. Like us, he is going to Muzu City to attend the Xuandu Conference."
Si Yuanpei once said that there are three Xuandu Orders in total.
So when he heard Shen Zening say that he was going to attend the Xuandu Conference, Lin Shen had already guessed that the other person in the same group was probably doing the same. He was not surprised when he heard this and smiled and bowed his hand to Qu Ke.
"Senior Brother Qu!"
Qu Ke responded with a gentle expression.
"Junior Brother Lin has admired his name for a long time. I have long wanted to meet the rumored Taoist genius. Thanks to Junior Brother Shen, I finally get to meet him today."
When Lin Shen heard this, he knew that Qu Ke was talking about the serious injury to Wu Ji in the spiritual cave and the elder Xuan Guangqi's recruitment of disciples, so he quickly said a few words of humility.
"Okay, don't say any polite words."
Shen Zening interrupted the two of them with a smile.
"It's getting late, it's time for us to set off. We will be together for more than ten days on this journey. You will have plenty of time to chat."
Lin Shen and Qu Ke looked at each other, smiled, and nodded.
Shen Zening is the chief of the top ten disciples of the Upper House. Although he is a commoner, he has the support of the sect's big shots, and his wealth is no less than that of the children of aristocratic families.
He waved his sleeves, and the void in front of him suddenly darkened, and a dragon tooth flying boat appeared out of thin air in front of the three of them.
"With the Dragon Tooth Flying Boat here, it seems we can arrive at Muzu City a few days earlier." Qu Ke said with a smile.
The speed of the dragon tooth flying boat is astonishing, far exceeding that of ordinary flying monsters. It is also safer and can easily withstand the attacks of demon cultivators and below.
With the Dragon Tooth Flying Boat, although it is still necessary to take a long way to avoid the deep areas of the Longyuan Mountains, the time spent on the journey can be greatly reduced.
The journey that originally took about ten days is now estimated to take at most eight days.
"Please, you two!" Shen Zening raised his hand.
Lin Shen and Qu Keyi said they were going to board the dragon tooth flying boat.
But at this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the distance.
"Wait a minute!"
The three of them looked back in surprise, and saw a figure flying quickly from far to near. After a while, he came close and landed in front of the three of them menacingly.
The visitor glanced at Qu Ke first, seeming to recognize him. He glanced at him and then looked away, turning to look at Shen Zening and Lin Shen. His chin was slightly raised, looking bossy and arrogant.
