Considering that he was busy with moving, Lin Shen simply asked for another three days of leave from the college.
With more than 300,000 spirit coins in his possession, Lin Shen was confident, and with a wave of his hand, he finally rented a villa-style single-family house in the suburbs, fully furnished and ready to move in.
The residential address is located in the East District, close to the center, but there are no large entertainment venues or transportation stations nearby. It can be regarded as a quiet place in the busy city.
Originally, Lin Shen wanted to rent in a villa area. There would be security guards on entry and exit, and there would also be security patrols at night. The security was far superior to that of an apartment building.
But then I thought about it, if I have more clones in the future and I need to be dispatched for something, the security of the villa area will become an obstacle.
So after much thought, Lin Shen finally chose a single-family house in the suburbs.
As for safety, in the worst case, just let the clone keep watch at night.
Anyway, the clone won't be tired and doesn't need to sleep.
After two days of running around, the rental matter was settled, and Lin Shen moved to a new residence on the third day.
What is surprising is that after three days of practice, the two clones finally successfully mastered the art of Convergence.
Looking at the words Condensing Mortal Technique on the panel, Lin Shen nodded with satisfaction.
Once you have mastered the art of gathering mortals, it will be easy to improve your realm. You just need to practice step by step and continuously improve your progress.
There was a full-length mirror inlaid on the wardrobe in the bedroom. Lin Shen came to the mirror, and with a thought in his mind, he silently practiced the magic of magic.
In an instant.
Something seemed to have changed on the young man in the mirror, as if a sharp-edged stone had been polished smooth and smooth, losing its sharpness and edge and becoming plain and ordinary.
"good!"
Lin Shen nodded with satisfaction.
Just the entry-level Mortal Convergence Technique allowed him to shrink most of his Qi, making him almost the same as when he was at the third level of Qi Dynasty.
If this reaches the realm of mastery or even Dacheng, it might be possible for him to disguise himself as an ordinary person who is harmless to humans and animals.
With the Art of Condensation, if you make rapid breakthroughs in your cultivation in the future, you don't have to worry about attracting attention.
After practicing the effect of the Convergence Art, Lin Shen returned to the living room and called out the panel.
Looking at the countdown in front of him, Lin Shen's eyes flashed with helplessness.
In the past three days, Clone No. 2 has been resurrected twice, and his talents have been refreshed twice.
But the new talents that came out never satisfied Lin Shen.
[Swift as lightning: The effect of martial arts such as movement and lightness +50%, the effect of escape techniques +30%]
[Six roots of purity: resistance to illusion effects +50%, human desire -50%, willpower +50%]
The previous talent, ‘Swift as Lightning’, is honestly pretty good.
But the problem is that Lin Shen only has the martial arts skill Ruyingshengxing at his disposal, and he has not yet started using it, so this talent is of no use for the time being.
The latter talent, ‘six root purity’, is also very subtle.
The BUFFs of strengthening willpower and improving resistance to illusion effects are pretty good, but the side effect of -50% human desire is really annoying.
Cultivation is for longevity and freedom. If you become a heartless and desireless person, it will be meaningless no matter how long you live or how strong you are.
More importantly, these two talents are almost useless at this stage.
What Lin Shen wants is a talent that can speed up his cultivation!
The twelve-minute countdown ended soon.
Lin Shen took a deep breath and rubbed his hands, feeling inexplicably as if he had played a card game before.
"God bless me and let me get a good talent!"
The virtual shadow came out of the body, condensed into reality, and stood in the middle of the living room.
【Clone No. 2】
[Talent: Heavenly Jealousy of Talents]
[Realm: Pneumatic fifth level 25%]
[Currently practicing: None]
"Is God jealous of talents?"
Lin Shen was slightly startled and quickly looked at the talent explanation.
[Tian Envy Yingcai: Cultivation speed +100%, life span -50%]
Lin Shen suddenly had a strange look on his face.
This talent seems to be pretty good.
Although the side effect of halving the lifespan is a bit embarrassing, the clone actually does not need a very long lifespan.
In comparison, the BUFF that doubles the training speed is very powerful!
Far more than the 20% bonus of the appearance of a middle-aged person!
The only thing that matters is whether or not you should apply this talent to yourself?
Although the effect will disappear immediately after the talent is switched, the effect of -50% lifespan is really disappointing.
The disadvantage is that the lifespan is -50%. If it were replaced by a lifespan of -50 years, Lin Shen would never switch.
If his real lifespan is less than 50 years, wouldn't this switch be a complete waste?
Thinking of that situation, Lin Shen couldn't help but get excited.
After thinking about it, Lin Shen finally decided not to continue brushing up on talents.
If you continue, you may not get better results than now, so don't take any more risks.
The next day is Saturday, so there is no school.
After eating breakfast, Lin Shen summoned three clones and prepared to start practicing.
With a flick of his wrist, there was already a bottle of Yuan Yuan Dan in his palm.
"I wonder how effective this elixir is?"
Strictly speaking, this is the first time Lin Shen has used elixirs to assist his practice.
For him, who was born in an orphanage, spiritual animal meat was already a luxury item, and elixirs were not even accessible to him.
If Tian Dian hadn't "kindly" sent him a gift, he would have had to wait until after the sparring competition if he wanted to take pills to assist his cultivation.
Taking out four Yuan-Quenching Pills, Lin Shen handed one to each of the three clones. He stuffed the remaining one into his mouth and swallowed the Yuan-Quenching Pill with a grunt.
Almost instantly, a warm current burst out from the Dantian, flowing like threads to the limbs and bones.
Lin Shen concentrated and meditated, and immediately began to breathe in and out.
It took Lin Shen and Clone No. 1 and Clone No. 3 more than three hours to digest the power of Yuan Yuan Dan.
Clone No. 2, who possesses the talent of Tian Envy Yingcai, had already digested the potion more than an hour ago, and it only took half the time of Lin Shen and the other two clones.
Looking at the panel again, the cultivation progress of the three people has increased by 5%.
"I now eat two kilograms of spirit beast meat in one meal, and after digesting it, my cultivation progress has only increased by 3%. The effectiveness of this Yuan Yuan Dan is almost as good as more than three kilograms of spirit beast meat!"
A smile flashed across Lin Shen's face.
There are a total of twelve Yuan-Quenching Pills in a bottle. Looking at the situation, a little more than one bottle of Yuan-Quenching Pills is enough for him to reach the sixth level of pneumatic cultivation.
"Clone No. 2 has a fast cultivation speed, so he should take the Yuan Yuan Dan specifically to practice the Zhengyuan Breathing Technique."
"Clone No. 3 will continue to practice Blazing Sun Palm and strive to achieve great success as soon as possible."
"As for the clone No. 1, he specializes in comprehending the shadow that follows the body, and occasionally practices the art of gathering mortals."
Lin Shen thought about the arrangements for the next few days.
Although he now has a huge sum of money on hand, he spends a lot of resources on cultivation. Just buying eight kilograms of spirit beast meat every day will cost more than 200,000 spirit coins a month.
Coupled with rent and other expenses, the more than 300,000 spirit coins he has on hand can last more than a month at most.
If you don't continue to make money, sooner or later you will be left with nothing.
So I still have to continue my part-time job in the martial arts gym.
During the day, I attend classes and work part-time, and at night, I take the Yuanyuan Pill and practice with my clone.
