“I’m placing an order for Huachuan and I’m taking the liberty to come to visit. Please forgive me, Brother Lin!”
The person who spoke was about thirty years old, with an ordinary appearance and nothing outstanding about him.
However, his powerful energy cannot be faked, and his cultivation level is obviously higher than that of Shan Wenqi. He is at least five or six levels of Yunling!
Lin Shen's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly introduced Shan Huachuan into the cave.
Shan Huachuan did not rely on his cultivation to show off.
First of all, his visit this time was to ask for something from someone.
Secondly, according to the descriptions of Li Mengfei and others, Lin Shen's defeat of Shan Wenqi seemed very easy from beginning to end, and he obviously did not try his best.
If he exerted all his strength, Lin Shen's real strength might not be weaker than his.
Combining the two, Shan Huachuan, even though he was higher than Lin Shen in both age and cultivation, he did not dare to underestimate the latter and had already placed him on an equal footing in his heart.
When they arrived at the tea room where they were receiving guests, the two of them sat down separately. Seeing that Lin Shen remained calm and silent, Shan Huachuan had no choice but to take the initiative to speak.
"Brother Lin, I came here on the order of the head of the family. Shan Wenqi was young and ignorant. He overestimated his ability and bumped into Brother Lin. The clan has already punished him. At the same time, I was sent to represent the clan to report to Lin.
Brother, I apologize, and I hope that you, sir, will have enough money to stop worrying about this incident!"
Shan Huachuan looked sincere and even had a low profile in his words.
Given his status as a monk in the middle stage of Yunling, making such a gesture is undoubtedly very sincere.
But after hearing this, Lin Shen waved his hand and said seriously:
"You can't say that, Deacon Shan. Shan Wenqi and I are just gambling. It's a fair fight according to the sect's rules. It's not an ordinary conflict or enmity. It's impossible to say who is right or wrong. If it were me who lost, it wouldn't matter.
I can only admit that my skills are inferior to others, and I will never complain at all."
Lin Shen was not stupid, so he could not detect the hidden meaning in Shan Huachuan's words.
This was to classify the confrontation between him and Shan Wenqi as an ordinary conflict. In this way, the Shan family would have reason to ask Lin Shen to return to Gale Island.
If Lin Shen doesn't agree, the Shan family may secretly use some unflattering tricks.
Therefore, this topic must not be held back by the other party, and the reason must be grasped.
Shan Huachuan looked a little stiff.
What he said just now did have the intention of digging a hole.
Who would have thought that although Lin Shen was young, he was not complacent at all, but was very vigilant and did not leave any loopholes for him.
Shan Huachuan couldn't help but nod secretly. It seemed that Shan Wenqi's defeat at the hands of Lin Shen was not unjust.
Since everyone is understanding, there is no point in continuing to argue, so Shan Huachuan cupped his hands and said apologetically: "I misspoke, please don't mind, Brother Lin."
After a pause, he seemed to consider his words, and then continued:
"Since Shan Wenqi lost the gambling dispute, according to the sect rules, Gale Wind Island will naturally belong to Brother Lin. My Shan family is one of the five famous families in Linlong City and will never make trouble unreasonably."
"It's just that our Shan family has been operating on Gale Island for a long time and has spent a lot of manpower and material resources to cultivate a large spiritual herbal garden. In addition, in addition to Shan Wenqi, there are more than ten other clan members who also need to use the spiritual energy of Gale Island to practice their martial arts and supernatural powers.
, so I ask Brother Lin to show your respect, our Shan family is willing to offer the elixirs, magic weapons, and secrets of martial arts in exchange for Brother Lin to return to Gale Island. If Brother Lin needs anything, just ask!"
really!
Lin Shen thought to himself.
As expected, the senior sister was right, the Shan family was reluctant to give up Gale Island, and even bowed to him in order to get back this cave.
To be honest, with Jinchuan Island in hand, Lin Shen didn't think much of Gale Island.
After all, he couldn't occupy two caves at the same time to practice.
Furthermore, the supply of caves in the sect is less than the demand, and many true disciples are eager to get a cave.
It's not comfortable for him to occupy two caves by himself, and he might get into trouble someday.
Although he is not afraid of trouble, he can be intimidated by too much trouble.
It would be great if Gale Island could be exchanged for practical training resources.
So when Xia Mengran proposed exchanging Gale Island for Xingluo Jianwan, Lin Shen agreed.
Thoughts were spinning in his mind, but Lin Shen remained calm on his face and said with a smile:
"Okay, I agree!"
Shan Huachuan was immediately overjoyed and said quickly: "I wonder if Brother Lin has any magic pills or secret techniques that he wants?"
"I just want one thing."
"Brother Lin, please tell me!"
"I want Xingluo Jianwan."
Shan Huachuan's smile suddenly stopped, revealing an expression of extreme astonishment.
When he came back to his senses, his first reaction was to deny that the Shan family had Xingluo Jianwan, but when he saw Lin Shen's half-smiling expression, his words suddenly stopped.
Since Lin Shen specified that he wanted Xingluo Jianwan, it meant that he had already known through reliable channels that the Shan family had requested Xingluo Jianwan from Xingluo Sect. Maybe it was the Master Yu who said it. In this case,
There is no point in denying it anymore.
Originally, Shan Huachuan deceived Lin Shen because he was young and thought of giving some resources in exchange for Gale Island. Who would have thought that Lin Shen would actually set his sights on Xingluo Jianwan.
Thinking of this, Shan Huachuan couldn't help but reveal a wry smile on his face.
"Brother Lin, the Xingluo Sword Pill was begged by our family leader on behalf of a clan member who practices flying swordsmanship. The owner already has it, so you'd better exchange it for something else."
Xingluo Jianwan is so precious, Shan Huachuan knows without thinking that his family will definitely not agree to exchange Xingluo Jianwan for Gale Island.
Lin Shen said calmly: "In that case, there is nothing more to say."
Shan Huachuan's expression changed slightly and he said solemnly: "Brother Lin, I come here with sincerity this time!"
There was already a hint of threat in his tone.
Do you need to be polite before fighting?
Lin Shen laughed in his heart and said unceremoniously: "I'm going to practice. Deacon Shan, please leave, lest the ban will be lifted later and you will have to stay on Jinchuan Island!"
Seeing that Lin Shen was not getting enough food and salt, Shan Huachuan couldn't help but turn pale.
But he had no choice but to grit his teeth and leave Lin Shen, preparing to report to the family master before making further arguments.
Watching Shan Huachuan leave, Lin Shen sneered.
He had long expected that things would not be accomplished so easily.
The Xingluo Sword Pill is so precious, even if they want to take it back to Gale Island, the Shan family will not be willing to exchange it for the Xingluo Sword Pill.
It can be seen from Shan Huachuan's series of actions just now that the Shan family is probably trying to keep a low profile to confuse him, and then casually exchange some resources for Gale Island.
But he's not stupid, how could he be fooled like this?
Now that negotiations have failed, the Shan family will definitely not give up and will probably make some small moves next.
But Lin Shen didn't care.
With the sect rules and the master standing in front of them, the Shan family can only act within the rules no matter how angry they are.
After opening the restriction, Lin Shen continued to practice.
In the past few days, he has restored two drops of Netherworld Heavy Water to a perfect state, and the next step is to continue to condense more Netherworld Heavy Water.
Of course, Taixuanmi Yao and Jinlun Leidian cannot be left behind.
As long as his strength and cultivation continue to improve, Lin Shen will have enough confidence to deal with whatever moves the Shan family makes.
Time flies, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, everything was calm and the Shan family did not make any move, as if they had completely forgotten about Gale Island.
The turmoil caused by Lin Shen's defeat of Shan Wenqi gradually subsided.
Lin Shen didn't care about things in the outside world and focused entirely on his cultivation.
After one month, the amount of Nether Heavy Water in his chest has increased to five drops, and his cultivation progress has reached more than half of the first level. It will take at most two months to break through to the second level.
"The cultivation of martial arts and magical powers is indeed much more difficult than magic and martial arts!"
Lin Shen couldn't help but sigh secretly.
He and the natural spirit body used their two avatars to practice the Netherworld Heavy Water with all their strength. After a month, they only increased their progress by about 30%.
And this is only the first level.
Later on, the speed of cultivation will only become slower.
If you switch to martial arts techniques, the same amount of time and energy would be enough to break through three or four levels.
"No wonder so many monks only master two or three magical powers!"
Lin Shen had a clone to help him, and his progress in practicing the exercises and magical powers was so slow, let alone other monks.
Those with slightly less talent may not be able to achieve a breakthrough in two or three years by practicing techniques such as Netherworld Heavy Water!
"The first level of the Golden Wheel Thunder Code is only halfway through."
Lin Shen thought slightly and called out the panel.
[Name: Lin Shen]
[Talent: Heavenly talent, natural spiritual body]
[Realm: Yunling Second Level 28%]
[Kung Fu: Taixuan Secret Essentials (45% on the first level), Golden Wheel Thunder Code (58% on the first level), Netherworld Heavy Water (60% on the first level). 】
[Spell: Seven Jue Sword Qi (seventh level of perfection), palm thunder (fifth level of perfection). 】
[Number of clones 7 (59%)]
"Without the aid of Jiuding Dan in cultivation, the speed of improvement in cultivation is indeed slower."
Shaking his head, Lin Shen put away the clone and walked out of the cave.
"Speaking of which, it's time to bring Xiao Ai in."
Lin Shen originally planned to take Xiao Ai into the mountain gate after getting the cave, but then there was a gambling dispute, and then he was busy practicing, and he didn't suddenly think of it until today.
"By the way, I went back to Jiuyang Taoist Temple to meet my old friends."
Lin Shen's eyes moved slightly, he took out the talisman to open the island's ban, and immediately released the Yuyun Feizhou.
After a while, the flying boat sailed away from Jinchuan Island.
After walking out of the Danxia Blessed Land, Lin Shen put away the flying boat, gathered his energy into clouds, and flew towards the East District.
Flying is prohibited in Linlong City, with the exception of monks.
Except for being unable to ride on large magic weapons such as flying boats and flying palaces, monks can fly freely over Linlong City.
Recalling the sword cultivator he saw flying past when he first entered the central area, Lin Shen couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion in his heart.
At that time, I also made up my mind to become a swordsman.
Now this goal is not far from being achieved.
As long as he gets the sword pill, he can start practicing the Beiming Sword Sutra and become a genuine swordsman.
Sword Escape Flight is just around the corner!
While thinking, Lin Shen had already arrived at the entrance of Jiuyang Taoist Temple.
The talisman for entering Jiuyang Taoist Temple was still on him, and he passed the entrance easily.
Lin Shen did not go directly to Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian, but sent a letter to Dao Fei, and then went to the Upper Court to visit Si Yuanpei.
After all, it was Si Yuanpei who led him to see Yu Siyu, and he should thank him both emotionally and rationally.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Lin Shen arrived at Si Yuanpei's residence, he saw Xie Jingsheng already waiting outside the door.
"Brother Lin!"
Seeing Lin Shen, Xie Jingsheng immediately came up to him with a hint of respect in his expression.
Although Lin Shen had said it first, the two of them could still use the previous titles, but Xie Jingsheng still did not dare to call Lin Shen as junior brother Lin anymore, and could only call him brother Lin.
Xie Jingsheng also heard about what happened recently in the mountain gate.
Lin Shen worshiped Master Yu of Luojian Peak as his disciple, and his status suddenly surpassed that of many true disciples.
And after that, he defeated Shan Wenqi of the Shan family, and his reputation soared.
Today, Lin Shen far surpasses Xie Jingsheng in terms of status and cultivation, reaching a level beyond his reach.
In Xie Jingsheng's eyes, even if Lin Shen is not on an equal footing with his master, he is not far behind.
Faced with such a person, Xie Jingsheng did not dare to neglect him even if there was some trace of his old friendship.
Lin Shen was keenly aware of Xie Jingsheng's change, but didn't say anything. He just smiled slightly and asked:
"Is the Master of the Division here?"
"Master already knows that Brother Lin is coming and has asked me to come and greet you."
Lin Shen nodded and walked into the courtyard.
Not long after, he saw Si Yuanpei in the tea room.
"Master Si, thank you for your care some time ago."
"You and I are of the same lineage as master and disciple, so there is no need to say more polite words."
Si Yuanpei waved his hand and changed the subject.
"You came just in time. I have something to tell you."
Seeing Si Yuanpei's solemn expression, Lin Shen straightened his expression and put on a look of attentive listening.
"I heard that you want the Shan family to exchange Xingluo Jianwan back to Gale Island?"
"That's right." Lin Shen nodded calmly and did not ask Si Yuanpei how he knew it.
"The Shan family has recently called back several of its clan members who have gone out for training. Those people are all mid-level Yunling monks and have considerable strength."
Lin Shen's expression changed, showing a thoughtful expression.
No wonder there has been no movement from the Shan family this month, it is the calm before the storm.
Lin Shen vaguely understood the Shan family's plan.
"The Shan family is planning to use gambling to take back Gale Island?"
Si Yuanpei glanced at Lin Shen appreciatively, nodded and said: "With Master Yu here, the Shan family would not dare to seize Gale Island against the rules if they don't follow the rules. If they don't want to change back to the cave as per your request, then they can
All that's left is gambling."
Having said this, Si Yuanpei looked slightly solemn.
"It goes without saying that the Shan family can become one of the five famous families. It goes without saying that it has a profound foundation. There are many elites in the clan. Among the clan members who were recalled urgently this time, the weakest ones have the sixth level of Yunling, which is far better than Shan Wenqi.
You have to deal with it carefully."
"I see."
Lin Shen nodded calmly.
He was not very surprised by the Shan family's plan.
He had already guessed where the Shan family was likely to fall and got up from there.
Only when the people of the Shan family are frightened will they no longer take chances and obediently take out Xingluo Jianwan in exchange for Gale Island.
As for defeat, Lin Shen never worried about this kind of thing!
Unless the Shan family sends monks who have condensed the seed of mysterious light, he is not afraid of anyone.
And if the Shan family really dares to do this, Lin Shen probably won't even need to take action. My senior sister will probably be eager to kill the challenger!
