More than half a month has passed, and Lin Shen has not received any news from the Zhiwu Hall, and he is happy to be immersed in cultivation.
With the support of sufficient elixirs, monster meat and a large number of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, Lin Shen's cultivation level improved rapidly. It only took three days to break through to the fourth level of Long Breath, and then it took another twenty-three days to reach the fourth level again.
Breakthrough to the fifth level of long interest.
In addition, both the Cloud-piercing Dragon Song and the Forbidden Golden Armor have reached perfection one after another.
The Yangji Sword Technique and Qi Sword Finger have also been successfully introduced.
[Name: Lin Shen]
[Talent: Heavenly Jealousy of Talents]
[Realm: Long Breath Five Levels 4%]
[Skills: Golden Crow Sutra (94% proficient), Blazing Sun Palm (perfect), Shadow Follower (perfect), Weapon Melting Hand (perfect), Forbidden Golden Armor (perfect), Cloud-Piercing Dragon's Song (perfect), Converging Mortal Technique (perfect)
After practicing during this period, all the heavenly materials and earthly treasures obtained from Tao Zongbao have been used up, and only one bottle of Ningzhen Pill is left.
The cultivation resources consumed in this process amounted to nearly 10 million in spiritual coins!
It was unimaginable before!
Fortunately, the hard work finally paid off, and I was successfully promoted to the fifth level of Long Interest Level.
"Now my martial arts system is basically complete, and I just need to keep improving!"
Lin Shen's heart was racing.
He now has a total of five martial arts that have reached perfection.
Compared to his age, this is simply unimaginable.
You must know that most of the disciples who entered the Taoist Academy at the same time as him, and even those old students who have practiced a year or two more than him, have only mastered three or four martial arts, and very few have reached the Dacheng state, let alone the Perfection state.
Not to mention that he also practiced two other martial arts.
If this spreads out, I don’t know how many people will be shocked!
With the cultivation of the fifth level of Long Breath and numerous martial arts skills, Lin Shen's strength was much stronger than it was more than a month ago.
If he met Yuan Lifei and Ding Leng again, Lin Shen would have the confidence to kill them single-handedly without relying on clones!
After recovering from the joy, Lin Shen looked at the half bottle of Ningzhen Pills left in his hand, took it, raised his head and swallowed the remaining six Ningzhen Pills at once, and then began to practice.
After being promoted to the fifth level of Long Breath, the effect of the Ningzhen Pill on him was minimal.
Even if six pills were taken at the same time, the potency could only support his cultivation for half an hour before being completely digested.
The progress of cultivation has only increased by about 1%.
"It seems that we need to replace it with a higher-grade elixir."
Lin Shen's eyes moved, he took out a Hunyuan Pill from his storage bag, raised his head, put it in his mouth, swallowed it, and then continued to practice.
This time, it took him nearly two hours before he opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It increased the cultivation progress by 3%, which is not bad."
Lin Shen nodded secretly.
He first got three Hunyuan Pills from Ding Leng, and then exchanged Shan Mei's Hair and Ai Jingting for thirteen Hunyuan Pills, a total of sixteen.
Now that one has been used, fifteen are left, which is enough to advance the cultivation progress of the fifth level of Long Breath by more than half.
"From now on, I will use Hunyuan Dan to assist my cultivation."
Lin Shen had some calculations in his mind.
Just as he was about to continue taking the Hunyuan Pill to practice, Lin Shen's expression suddenly changed and he immediately summoned the clone of Tian Envy Yingcai.
After the avatar turned into a physical entity, it immediately fell to the ground with a plop and became motionless.
Taking a closer look, there was no sparkle in the clone's eyes, as if he was dead!
died?!
Lin Shen looked stunned.
When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but couldn't help crying or laughing.
Why did this clone suddenly die suddenly?
But after thinking about it, it seems to be reasonable.
During this period of time, in order to improve his cultivation level, Tianje Yingcai's clone took a large amount of rare and exotic herbs that would shorten his lifespan. His lifespan dropped every day, and his original lifespan of only half was even worse. It was actually unexpected that he could survive to this day.
"It's a pity that Tian is jealous of Yingcai's talent."
Lin Shen sighed softly.
The disappearance of the talent of Tian Envy Yingcai means that Lin Shen not only loses the powerful BUFF of +100% cultivation speed, but also means that in the future, his clone will no longer be able to consume rare and exotic herbs that shorten his lifespan to quickly increase his strength.
Unless he is willing to let other clones do this.
etc!
It doesn’t seem impossible!
Lin Shen touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
He has superb martial arts skills, and his three clones, the Demonic Way of Killing and the body of Pure Yang, are precious and cannot be moved.
However, as Lin Shen's strength increases, especially after breaking through to the Long Breath Realm, the role of the Unbreakable Clone has become smaller and smaller. It seems that the task of inheriting the Clone of Tian Envy Yingcai is not impossible?
Without the blessing of Tianju Yingcai's talent, Lin Shen's efficiency in practicing the Golden Crow Sutra suddenly dropped a lot.
He simply switched to his superior martial arts talent and started practicing martial arts.
The next afternoon.
Lin Shen went to the Court of Merit to exchange for some Hunyuan Pills.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked out of my residence, I saw a small paper crane hanging outside.
Seeing Lin Shen coming out, the paper crane immediately flapped its wings and flew over.
Lin Shen subconsciously stretched out his hand, and saw the paper crane falling neatly into his palm. Then the light flashed and it automatically unfolded into a piece of letter paper.
"Do paper cranes fly like books?"
Lin Shen clicked his tongue in surprise, picked up the letter and read it.
But it was the Zhiwu Hall that informed him of the gathering.
"But it's finally here."
Lin Shen smiled, a red light flashed in his palm, turned the letter into ashes, then turned around and walked towards the exit of the Taoist Temple.
More than half an hour later.
Lin Shen came to Zhiwutang's headquarters in the central area - a large complex of buildings.
After showing the Jiuyang Taoist disciple's identity token to the guard and stating his intention, Lin Shen was quickly taken to a place that looked like a gymnasium.
When he arrived, there were already many people inside.
It is estimated that there will be no less than fifty people.
What surprised Lin Shen was that Zhao Xueying was among them.
You must know that the people recruited for this Zhiwu Hall mission are Long Breath Realm disciples.
Being able to appear here means that Zhao Xueying has broken through to the Long Breath Realm!
And more than a month ago, she only had the eighth level of Qi Dynasty cultivation.
"Could it be that you have taken some kind of natural treasure or elixir that can quickly increase your strength?"
Thinking of the status of the direct descendants of the three major surnames of Zhao Xueying, Lin Shen was thoughtful.
At this time, Zhao Xueying also noticed Lin Shen's arrival, and a light flashed in her eyes.
As if hesitating for a moment, the girl pursed her lips and walked towards Lin Shen.
"You also accepted this mission?"
It can be seen that Zhao Xueying is really not good at chatting with others, so she just dropped a nonsense topic.
Which of the Taoist disciples here at this time has not taken over the mission of Zhiwu Hall?
After coughing slightly, Lin Shen nodded and asked casually:
"Have you heard anything about this mission?"
Zhao Xueying shook her head: "The Zhiwu Hall is very strict about keeping the contents of this mission secret. Until now, they haven't said exactly what they want us to do."
This answer is not surprising. After all, if it is a highly confidential mission, the specific content will definitely not be told to them until the moment before the mission begins.
Anyway, they Taoist disciples are only responsible for some peripheral work. Even if they don't know the content of the task in advance, they won't have much impact.
Zhao Xueying was not good at chatting, and Lin Shen had no intention of deepening the relationship with the girl. After chatting for a few words, the two fell into silence.
Lin Shen didn't care. He turned around and looked around, observing the people around him.
In just a short time, the number of people in the hall had increased to more than seventy.
If you observe carefully, you can find that although these seventy people are gathered together in twos and threes, they are faintly divided into three sides.
There were the largest number of people in the innermost area, about thirty people, and there were many faces among them that Lin Shen had a vague impression of, as if he had seen them in the Taoist temple.
Obviously, these thirty people all came from Jiuyang Taoist Academy.
The number of people in the middle was relatively the smallest, with less than twenty people, and more than two-thirds of them were young and beautiful girls. They were so lively that they attracted the attention of many boys.
Considering the rumors about Qingshuang Sect's yin rising and yang declining, it is obvious which Taoist school these people belong to.
The remaining twenty or so people near the door were obviously disciples of Jingtao Taoist Academy.
"I didn't expect so many people to come to the Third Avenue Courtyard."
Lin Shen muttered to himself in a low voice.
After the number of people exceeded eighty, the number of people in the venue finally stopped increasing.
After a while, the door opened, and four or five people wearing Zhiwu Hall uniforms strode in.
The leader was an old acquaintance, the flag officer named Han Wu.
"Quiet!"
Han Wu shouted loudly, immediately suppressing the surrounding discussions.
When everyone's eyes gathered, Han Wu raised his voice:
"First of all, thank you all for participating in this mission. Next, we will divide everyone into teams, with four to six people in each team. Now, those who have read the list, please assemble with their teammates!"
Han Wu waved his hand, and a subordinate immediately stepped forward and read out loud the numbers and members of each team.
The allocation of teams obviously takes into account the Taoist temple to which the members belong, and people from the same Taoist temple will be assigned together first.
Coincidentally, Lin Shen was assigned to the same group as Zhao Xueying.
What's even more coincidental is that the other two teammates on the same team are actually disciples of Qingshuang Taoist Academy, and they are both girls.
"Let me meet you, my name is She Shuying."
The first person to introduce herself was a girl with short hair and a tall figure, giving people a heroic feeling.
The other girl is petite and has a delicate temperament. She is the type that makes boys easily feel protective.
"My name is Zuo Manman."
"Lin Shen."
"Zhao Xueying."
Yu Shuying could tell at first glance that she had an outgoing and cheerful personality. After introducing herself to each other, she immediately asked enthusiastically:
"I heard that your Taoist academy has a new student in the Long Breath Realm this year. Is it true?"
Zuo Manman on the side also showed curious eyes.
After all, it is a big deal no matter which Taoist temple a new student in the Long Breath Realm is placed in.
Hearing this, Zhao Xueying showed a strange expression, glanced at Lin Shen, and nodded lightly.
"it is true."
"It's actually true!" Yu Shuying looked surprised, "I thought the rumors were exaggerated. I didn't expect that someone actually advanced to the Long Breath Realm before entering the Taoist Temple. This year's new student in our Taoist Temple is the chief pneumatic ninth-level cultivator.
Because, I feel very powerful, and as expected, every mountain is as high as the other!"
Yu Shuying's face was full of amazement and he praised other Taoist disciples without any care.
Zuo Manman asked curiously: "Did that person participate in this mission?"
"Yes, yes!" Yu Shuying looked around, "Is he here?"
Zhao Xueying glanced at Lin Shen again, with a look in her eyes that said, "It's your turn."
At this time, Yu Shuying and Zuo Manman, no matter how slow they were, came to their senses and looked at Lin Shen in astonishment with wide eyes.
"Are you the freshman chief?"
Lin Shen shrugged and said with a smile: "I didn't expect my reputation to spread so far, even people from other Taoist academies have heard about it."
After coming back to his senses, Yu Shuying clicked his tongue and looked Lin Shen up and down, as if he was looking at some strange creature.
"To be honest, I thought that a genius who could be promoted to the Long Breath Realm before entering the Taoist Academy must be full of arrogance, with his eyes above his head, and would look at people with his nose. Unexpectedly, he is quite approachable, which is beyond my expectation.
.”
Lin Shen laughed dumbly: "Your impression is too stereotyped."
"Really?" Yu Shuying curled her lips, "There are quite a few people like this."
From the look on her face, she seems to have met many such people.
But thinking about the children of aristocratic families she had met before, Lin Shen somewhat understood her.
After learning that Lin Shen was the person involved in the rumors, the two girls immediately became more interested in Lin Shen and asked various questions out of curiosity.
Zhao Xueying also chimed in from time to time.
Three good-looking girls surrounded Lin Shenying and Yanyan, making many boys around them look envious when they saw this scene.
After a while, seeing that everyone was almost familiar with his team, Han Wu said loudly:
"Everyone, please be quiet and let us assign tasks!"
When they heard that the main event was coming, everyone immediately became quiet and looked at Han Wu.
Seeing this, Han Wu nodded with satisfaction and gestured to the people next to him. Soon someone took out an array disk. After playing with it for a while, a curtain of water formed out of thin air above everyone's heads.
Everyone quickly looked at it intently.
The scene shown on the water curtain is a manor.
Looking down from a high altitude, you can have a panoramic view of the layout of the entire manor and its surrounding environment.
The various traffic arteries and intersections around the manor are marked with numbers.
"The number above is your team number, which represents the location where you will be stationed!"
Han Wu looked around with a serious expression.
"After the mission starts, all teams will immediately go to their respective garrison locations. Your mission is to stop anyone trying to escape from the encirclement. Once someone tries to break out, capture them immediately. If the other party resists fiercely, there is no need to ask for instructions. Just kill them.
Ground kill!"
"You must not let anyone go! Do you understand?"
The powerful words spread throughout the venue, making all the disciples present look solemn and shouted in unison:
"Understood!"
"very good!"
Han Wu nodded with satisfaction, took the array plate from his subordinates, and clicked it a few times.
In an instant, dots of light lit up on the array disk, and countless tiny light groups scattered around.
At the same time, everyone present felt their feet tremble slightly, and the entire venue seemed to tremble.
Just as they were wondering, they were shocked to find bright lines suddenly appearing on the floor under their feet.
The dense lines intertwined with each other, quickly forming a huge formation, and the light emitted became brighter and brighter.
This familiar scene reminded Lin Shen of the first time he entered Jiuyang Taoist Temple.
Teleportation array!
"Set off!"
Han Wu's steady and powerful voice came to his ears.
The next second, Lin Shen felt a sudden bright light in front of his eyes, and his vision was instantly filled with white.
