After leaving the Court of Merit and following his father for a while, Leng Xing finally couldn't help but speak.
"Father, please let me"
Before he could finish his words, he was coldly interrupted by Leng Guangting without looking back.
"no!"
"How many times have I told you that you can just stay in the Taoist temple and practice. I have all the resources to support you. You don't have to be like other people who have to travel around for a little merit!"
"But."
Leng Xing wanted to argue again, but was interrupted by Leng Guangting again.
"Okay, that's it for now!"
Leng Xing hesitated to speak, but finally lowered his head slumped and succumbed to his father's majesty as usual.
After a moment of silence, Leng Xing suddenly said:
"Father, who was that man just now? I think you recognize him?"
Leng Guangting glanced back at his son, with no expression on his face, and said calmly:
"That person is Lin Shen."
"Lin Shen? The one who was promoted to a Xuan-level disciple as soon as he entered the Taoist Academy?"
Seeing his father nod slightly, Leng Xing was suddenly surprised. He had no idea that the person he met by chance was the rumored genius.
But immediately, he snorted again and said bitterly:
"No wonder that guy dared to challenge me! Humph, he's just a new student, but he has a reputation and is so arrogant. If I had known, I should have taught him a lesson just now!"
It was rumored that Lin Shen was very powerful and had even defeated a disciple of the Long Breath Realm, but Leng Xing was not afraid at all.
Not only was he a Xuan-level disciple, but his cultivation was at the fourth level of Long Breath Realm, so he thought that it would not be a problem to overpower Lin Shen.
Thinking of the way Lin Shen didn't take him seriously just now, Leng Xing couldn't help but feel angry and itched his teeth.
Seeing the change in Leng Xing's expression, Leng Guangting frowned slightly and said solemnly:
"Put away your little thoughts, I'm warning you not to provoke Lin Shen!"
Leng Xing was stunned: "Why?"
"Lin Shen is the flag raised by the President of the Division himself. Before the next level challenge, the President of the Division will not let him suffer any oppression or embarrassment. If you don't want to get into trouble, you'd better be honest."
Seeing that Leng Xing still looked unconvinced, Leng Guangting sighed secretly and said:
"Lin Shen's cultivation time is still short, and the possibility of retaining his place as a Xuan-level disciple is very slim. When the level challenge is over, the head of the Division will definitely be disappointed with him and will no longer protect him. You won't need to do anything by then, and more people will make trouble for Lin Shen.
."
The incident between the Leng family and his son was just a small episode. After feeling emotional, Lin Shen put it behind him.
Leaving the mission hall, Lin Shen then went to the exchange place.
With the harvest from this trip and the previous savings, he now has a total of fifty-six small achievements, plus more than 800 merit points, making him richer than ever before.
Arriving at the exchange hall, Lin Shen exchanged Yang Ji Jian Jue and Qi Sword Fingers without saying anything, for a total of fourteen small skills.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Shen exchanged for another Shuyang robe.
This is a defensive weapon worth five small skills.
Even though Lin Shen already has forbidden golden armor, no one would think that his defense power is too high.
The Shuyang robe is always white, but the color can be changed according to the wearer's wishes.
There are longitude and latitude patterns on the surface of the robe, which feels smooth as water and is not stained by fiber dust.
After kneading it into a ball with your hands, it is only the size of a fist. When you loosen it, it returns to its original shape without any wrinkles.
Lin Shen slapped the Shuyang robe on his body, and the robe automatically unfolded, quickly wrapped around his body, and shrank and adjusted to the right size.
Lin Shen immediately thought again, and in an instant he saw the Shuyang robe flashing with light and shadow, and instantly turned into an ordinary coat commonly seen on the market.
"Yes, this function of changing the shape at will is indeed very convenient."
Lin Shen nodded secretly.
All clothing-style magical instruments have a similar effect of changing their appearance.
Lin Shen had only heard of it before, but this was the first time he saw it with his own eyes, so he was a little surprised.
"With this sun-hugging robe for body protection, coupled with the Forbidden Golden Armor that is stronger than gold steel, ordinary practitioners at the fourth and fifth levels of the Long Breath Realm may not even be able to hurt me!"
After a moment of joy, Lin Shen turned his attention back to the redemption list and fell into deep thought.
Originally, he had already thought about exchanging the Three Yang Talisman Sword before this, but now he looked at the list and fell into hesitation.
After exchanging Qi Sword Fingers, Yang Ji Sword Technique and Shuyang Robe, Lin Shen still had a total of thirty-seven small skills left in his hand, which could be exchanged for a superior magical weapon than the Three Yang Talisman Sword.
There are three types of magical instruments: upper, middle and lower.
The Three-Yang Talisman Sword is a low-grade magic weapon, and then there are the Six-Yang Talisman Sword, a mid-grade magic weapon, and even the Nine-Yang Talisman Sword, a high-grade magic weapon!
Among them, the redemption of the Nine Yang Talisman Sword requires five middle skills, so there is no need to think about it for the time being.
However, the Six Yang Talisman Sword only requires twenty small merits, which Lin Shen can afford given his current merits.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Shen finally exchanged the Six Yang Talisman Sword.
Since you have enough merit, you must exchange it for a more powerful magic weapon.
After all, this is a life-saving guy.
After that, Lin Shen spent another six small efforts to redeem six seven-star swords and put them in the storage bag.
After the clone is separated and materialized, ordinary clothes will also be separated together, but weapons and magic weapons will not be separated.
In order to avoid having no weapons to use when the clone materializes in the future, and to hide the real body, Lin Shen simply exchanged six of the same weapons.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Shen redeemed ten bottles of Condensation Pills in one go, spending 360 merit points.
"These Condensation Pills should be enough for me to break through the fifth level of Long Breath!"
After doing all this, Lin Shen still had fifteen small skills left.
After thinking for a while, he opened the monster exchange list again.
Lin Shen had already thought about it. If he had time to spare after his return, he would exchange it for a monster beast that could be ridden on the road. After all, he would have to travel frequently between Linlong City and Longyuan Mountains in the future, so he couldn't rely on his feet every time.
After browsing for a while, Lin Shen quickly picked out a monster called the Giant-horned Deer.
The giant-horned deer is a monster that is very good at running long distances.
Adult individuals have the cultivation level of the late stage of the Spiritual Enlightenment Realm.
Of course, it's just cultivation.
Monster beasts like this that are specially domesticated to drive on the road generally have unsatisfactory combat effectiveness.
If it were used in combat, it would probably not be able to defeat even the mid-stage monsters in the Enlightenment Realm that were transformed into ferocious beasts.
However, the giant-horned deer is cheaper, and it only takes five small steps to redeem it.
Of course, there are monsters on the list that have both strong combat power and the ability to travel long distances. The exchange price is very impressive, and the cheapest one requires a hit.
There are even flying monsters such as cranes and golden-feathered eagles.
And the price of these flying monsters is even more astonishing, with five or six being sold easily.
Lin Shen could not afford to exchange it for the time being, and had no plans to exchange it.
After all, it's just a tool beast used to travel, so it doesn't need to cost so much merit.
After exchanging the giant-horned deer, Lin Shen then spent a small amount of effort to exchange for a beast-control pouch - the beast-control pouch can only house one monster.
He went to the animal taming park to select a giant-horned deer, handed it over, and made a contract. After all the procedures, Lin Shen officially owned his second monster.
After finishing all this, Lin Shen did not continue to exchange for other things, but kept the merits for emergencies.
Apart from anything else, the transaction with Tao Zongbao would probably require a lot of merit.
After leaving the exchange hall, Lin Shen went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
No one needed to announce this time. As soon as Lin Sheng stepped into the gate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he bumped into Tao Zongbao.
Seeing Lin Shen, Tao Zongbao's face immediately showed joy. He hurriedly pulled Lin Shen to a secluded place, rubbed his hands and said:
"Fellow Daoist Lin, what you asked me to do is already clear. I have contacted many people and discussed the items and prices with them. You can trade at any time as long as you are willing. By the way, here is the list. Take a look.
look."
Tao Zongbao handed over a list, and Lin Shen took a look at it. It listed at least twenty or thirty kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, all of which had similar effects to Snake Orchid and Poisonous Flame Qizhi.
The price is quite satisfactory, not expensive, but not cheap either.
In total, it requires two small achievements and more than 400 merit points.
Judging from Tao Zongbao's eager look, you can guess that he will definitely make a lot of money from this transaction.
However, Lin Shen didn't care. If he wanted someone to help him, he would naturally give him enough benefits.
"If Fellow Daoist Lin feels that something is inappropriate, we can discuss it further." Tao Zongbao said cautiously.
"No."
Lin Shen smiled heartily.
"I trust Deacon Tao. I have prepared the merits and can trade them now."
Tao Zongbao was immediately overjoyed, and at the same time secretly surprised.
Two small achievements and more than 400 merit points are not a small sum!
Lin Shen, a disciple who had just entered the Taoist Academy, could actually earn so many meritorious deeds in such a short period of time. It was truly amazing!
For a time, Lin Shen's image in Tao Zongbao's eyes became more and more unfathomable.
After settling on the deal, Tao Zongbao immediately became busy non-stop. First, he and Lin Shen went to the Court of Merit to redeem the items that the transaction partner wanted, and then took the items and approached the sellers one by one to trade.
It wasn't until the sky turned yellow and the sun was about to set that Tao Zongbao returned to the Gongxunyuan with sweating profusely.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission and got everything!"
"Thanks for your hard work!"
Lin Shen put all his things into the storage bag, exchanged a few pleasantries with Tao Zongbao, and then returned to the wooden building where he lived.
It has been more than half a month since I returned, but the wooden building is still neat and clean, looking like new under the influence of the formation, without any dust at all.
Without delay, Lin Shen went straight to the practice room, sat down cross-legged, collected his thoughts, and began to read the secret books of Qi Sword Finger and Yang Ji Sword Technique.
After he memorized the contents of the secret book, he asked his clone to begin to understand the martial arts.
The clone with superior martial arts is responsible for understanding Qi Sword Finger.
The pure yang body clone is responsible for understanding the yangji sword technique.
As for the clone that proves the Tao through killing and the clone that survives with perseverance, he will continue to practice other martial arts.
Lin Shen and Tianju Yingcai's clones concentrated on practicing the Golden Crow Sutra.
With a large number of Condensing Pills and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Lin Shen was confident that he could break through to the fifth level of Long Breath within a month.
The moonlit night is dark.
The soft moonlight shone hazy, adding a bit of tranquility and peace to the street.
There were dim lights in the distance, but it was dark inside the small building.
A figure wearing a black robe and an evil ghost mask sat cross-legged on the ground, motionless like a statue.
After a while, the figure suddenly moved and turned his head to look at the balcony.
The next second, a slight sound of clothes breaking through the air was heard, the light dimmed slightly, and a figure appeared on the balcony.
The visitor was also wearing a black robe and no mask, but his face was hidden in the shadow of the brim of his hat, and his appearance could not be seen clearly.
The masked man stared at the visitor expressionlessly, his tone slightly cold.
"you are late."
The man in black robe didn't care and said calmly:
"You know, I have a special status and I can't move around at will. It's not easy for me to come and see you."
The masked man snorted and seemed to understand this. Without saying any more, he changed the subject and said:
"Zhiwutang has been acting strangely recently, do you know what's going on?"
The black-robed man shook his head.
"Since the failure of the previous operations, Zhiwutang has begun to suspect that there are spies inside. Now, in all their operations against Delang, they only deploy a few trustworthy teams. Even if they are short of manpower, they would rather recruit people from the Three Avenues.
, and do not want to dispatch other teams, it is now difficult for me to detect information."
"But I suspect that the Zhiwu Hall has discovered one of our strongholds, and they are likely to attack that stronghold next!"
The masked man was surprised: "The stronghold has been discovered? No, we have to evacuate our personnel quickly!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the man in black robe said solemnly:
"No!"
"We still don't know which stronghold is being targeted. If we want to evacuate, we can only evacuate all the strongholds. But once we do this, the movement will be too big. The Zhiwu Hall may be secretly watching, waiting for us.
We can't give Zhiwu Tang this chance!"
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"Hold still!"
A cold light flashed in the black-robed man's eyes.
"Anyway, the various strongholds are not in contact with each other and do not know each other's existence. We are the only ones who know the information about all the strongholds. Even if one of the strongholds is taken over by the Zhiwu Hall, they will not be able to get more clues. If necessary,
The only choice is to sacrifice the targeted stronghold, which is better than exposing more flaws!"
The masked man was silent for a while, then gritted his teeth and said bitterly:
"Are we just going to admit defeat? The Zhiwu Hall has suppressed us extremely over the years. We don't know how many people have died at the hands of the Zhiwu Hall. Just recently, two people disappeared in the Longyuan Mountains. I doubt them.
It has fallen into the hands of Zhiwutang!"
"A small leak will sink a great ship!"
The man in black robe shook his sleeves and said indifferently:
"As long as the Blood Spirit Pill is here, we can recruit people continuously, but it's just a small sacrifice, not worth mentioning!"
Having said this, the man in black robe glanced at the masked man, and a meaningful light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"But if you really can't bear this tone, I have a good idea."
The masked man was slightly startled: "What can I do?"
call out!
A black shadow shot out from the sleeves of the man in black robe, spun around, and landed in front of the masked man.
"This is an interesting thing I got recently, so I gave it to you."
The masked man picked up the object doubtfully and looked at it carefully.
This thing is about the size of a basketball. Its surface is pitted and covered with dense round holes. It looks like a honeycomb, but it exudes a fierce and bloody aura.
"This is."
The masked man quickly recognized its origin, and the eyes under the mask immediately lit up.
"Haha, it is indeed a good thing. If used well, it may be able to teach those guys in Zhiwu Hall a memorable lesson!"
The sinister laughter echoed in the room, making it creepy.
