As early as when he heard Kou Ming say that most of the collection tasks were issued by the Qiaogong Pavilion and the Dan Academy, the purpose was to collect materials, Lin Shen had an idea, and guessed that there was a high probability that there was a high probability of collecting Xuantie among these tasks.

After all, dark iron is one of the most commonly used materials for forging weapons and even magic weapons.

It turned out exactly as he expected.

Lin Shen immediately took down the wooden card.

As he was about to hand over the mission, out of the corner of his eye, he flashed over a wooden sign on the left, and stopped with a low sigh.

'Collect a Yin Absolute Grass, the required year is not less than 30 years, and the reward is 80 merit points! ’

"Yin Absolute Grass is also available!"

Lin Shen was overjoyed.

The Yin Absolute Grass he got from Luo Yi was of little use to him, if it could be exchanged for merit points, it would be great!

Lin Shen did not hesitate to take off the wooden card, and then came to the counter near the door and placed the two wooden cards on the cabinet.

"I'm tired, I have to hand over the task."

Standing behind the counter was a young girl with clear eyebrows, about twenty years old.

She seemed to have seen many disciples come directly to hand over the task with wooden cards, and she was not surprised to see this, so she picked up the wooden cards and glanced at them, and then took the Xuantie and Yin Jue Grass handed over by Lin Shen, and skillfully weighed the catties and taels to distinguish the year.

After a moment, the girl raised her head and smiled:

"Xuantie weighs twenty-four pounds, a total of forty-eight merit points, the year of Yin Jue Grass is between thirty and forty years, meet the task conditions, the reward is eighty merit points, a total of one hundred and twenty-eight merit points, please show your identity token!"

Lin Shen handed over the identity token.

The girl took the token, checked it, and after confirming that it was correct, she took a brush and began to write and draw on a blank book in her hand.

From Lin Shen's point of view, it can be seen that the black calligraphy and paintings on the book appeared one after another, followed by quickly disappearing.

When the girl put down the brush, the book was still blank, but the girl smiled and handed the token back.

"One hundred and twenty-eight meritorious points, which have been registered."

Lin Shen was amazed in his heart, estimating that the brush and the book were probably some kind of magic tools.

After thanking him, Lin Shen left with his identity token in his hand, ready to exchange for resources.

Seeing Lin Shen walk out of the hall, the girl behind the counter tilted her head suspiciously.

"Strange, this person is so good-looking, is there such a person among the Xuan-level disciples? Could it be that he was just promoted in the rank challenge a few days ago? ”

"But it seems that none of the Huang-level disciples have ever seen this person?"

Come to the main hall of exchanging resources.

Lin Shen flipped through the list and began to think about what to exchange.

If you want to say that he is the hottest, it is undoubtedly martial arts.

For example, the Qi Sword Finger that is worth ten small gongs.

This is a powerful martial art that can emit sword qi in the air with his fingers, which can be used to perfect his martial arts system.

In addition, there is also an anode sword technique worth four small skills, which can make up for his lack of weapon-type martial arts.

It's a pity that Lin Shen only has three small skills at present, not to mention the Qi Sword Finger, and the Anode Sword Technique can't be exchanged.

"Forget it, let's first cultivate the Cloud Piercing Dragon Yin, the Forbidden Golden Armor, and the Melting Soldier to the Consummation Realm, and then by then, we should have almost accumulated enough merit to exchange martial arts."

As for the magic weapons, the beam yang robe and the three-yang rune sword were also what Lin Shen wanted.

However, like martial arts, he can't afford to exchange them at the moment.

Fortunately, the pill was within his tolerance.

Ning Zhen Dan thirty-six meritorious points ordered one bottle, Lin Shen waved his hand, and directly exchanged three bottles.

Three bottles of Ning Zhen Pill were enough for him to cultivate for a period of time.

As for the three small skills, he is ready to save them for the time being.

After all, once Xiaogong is successfully exchanged for medals, it can never be exchanged back.

And many of the precious things on the list can only be redeemed with small work.

After exchanging the Ning Zhen Pill, Lin Shen came to the residential area non-stop.

On the mountain road surrounded by wooden buildings, many disciples in Taoist robes came and went, walking in a hurry.

However, when Lin Shen stepped into the mountain road, the surrounding atmosphere changed suddenly, and many people subconsciously slowed down their pace, and they all looked at him together, pointing and talking in a low voice.

"He is Lin Shen?"

"That's right, it's the freshman chief who defeated the two disciples of the Long Breath Realm!"

"I heard that the master of the academy also promoted him to a Xuan-level disciple!"

"Damn, it's so enviable! It took me two years to become a Xuan-level disciple, but as soon as he entered the Dao Academy, he was there! ”

"Who called people's qualifications against the sky, the new students of the Long Rest Realm! The first one since the establishment of the Taoist Academy, I asked you if you are powerful? ”

“.”

Apparently word of the war has spread.

Along the way, Lin Shen became a panda in the zoo, and was watched and pointed out by countless people.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for him to find the C171 wooden building, and immediately opened the gate with a talisman and hid in.

There was a sudden silence all around, and the formation of the wooden building cut off all sight from the outside.

It's a little secluded place.

Lin Shen breathed a long sigh of relief, looked around, and checked the environment inside the wooden building.

The area of the wooden building is not small, with a total of two floors.

Living room, kitchen, balcony everything.

There are also three bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom.

In addition, there was also a renovated practice room, the floor and walls inside were covered with a layer of iron-like metal, which was extremely hard, and it was estimated that it was more than enough to withstand the attacks of cultivators in the Long Breath Realm, enough to cope with daily martial arts cultivation.

It is worth mentioning that it seems that in order to match the overall environment of the Taoist Academy, the decoration in the wooden building is also full of antique and elegant style.

However, the environment is not simple, but very comfortable and full of ingenuity.

"Not bad!"

The corners of Lin Shen's mouth turned into a smile, and he was very satisfied with his residence for the next five years.

What made him even happier was that from the moment he entered, he clearly felt the spiritual aura in the air.

Bathed in this spiritual breath, Lin Shen only felt that his body was transparent inside and out, and there was a sense of lightness that his whole body had been washed all over the body.

This is still in a non-cultivation state!

One can imagine how amazing the speed of cultivation would be if you were cultivating in this environment!

"The effect of the C-class retreat is already so amazing, what effect should the second-class and even the first-class retreat have?"

Lin Shen couldn't help but think, his heart surging slightly.

After a while, he came back to his senses from his reverie, calmed down the turmoil in his heart, came to the practice room and sat down cross-legged, took out the Golden Crow Sutra and began to comprehend.

Although the Golden Crow Sutra is a long-term breath realm cultivation method, it is not very difficult.

It's even simpler, for example, Shadow Shadow.

Lin Shen and the five doppelgangers comprehended at the same time, coupled with the bonus of talent, it only took half a day for the Golden Crow Sutra to be successfully introduced.

[Name: Lin Shen]

【Talent: Heavenly Jealousy Talent】

[Realm: 86% of the first layer of long-term rest]

[Exercises: Golden Crow Sutra (1% Beginner), Blazing Sun Palm (Perfection), Shadow Shadow (Perfection), Cloud Piercing Dragon Yin (28% proficient), Melting Soldier Hand (4% proficient), Gathering Fan Art (2% proficient), Forbidden Golden Armor (16% Beginner)]

[Number of clones 5 (10%)]

"The Zhengyuan Breathing Technique has been covered."

Lin Shen was slightly stunned.

Fortunately, this did not affect other aspects, and after calming down, Lin Shen took out a Ning Zhen Pill and took it, and began to cultivate.

After cultivating the Golden Crow Sutra, the cultivation speed really increased significantly, and in less than an hour, the medicinal power of a Ning Zhen Pill had been completely digested.

Lin Shen rested for a while and continued to take the Ning Zhen Pill to cultivate.

At the same time, the five clones in his mind also began to cultivate.

The body of pure yang, the superior martial arts, and the way of killing the three clones who have bonuses in martial arts cultivation concentrate on cultivating martial arts.

The two clones of perseverance and jealousy concentrate on cultivating the Golden Crow Sutra.

The wooden building fell into silence in a blink of an eye.

A dimly lit training room.

Yan Jingren sat cross-legged on the floor, his eyes closed, his chest slowly rising and falling in some mysterious pattern.

Four or five meters away, Yan Xing knelt on the ground, bowing his head in a gloomy manner, his face pale and not saying a word.

The cultivation room was quiet, but the atmosphere was extremely heavy, revealing a throbbing pressure.

So much so that in just a moment, the clothes behind Yan Xing were already soaked with cold sweat.

After another while, Yan Jingren finally let out a long breath and opened his eyes from his cultivation.

In the dim room, there seemed to be a flash of lightning in an instant, making Yan Xing subconsciously close his eyes.

When he opened it again, he met the indifferent gaze of his eldest brother.

Yan Xing has been in awe and worship of this eldest brother since he was a child, and at this time, he was looked at by Yan Jingren's gaze, and his body suddenly trembled subconsciously.

Yan Jingren saw it in his eyes, sighed slightly in his heart, and slowly spoke.

"You are not to blame for this failure."

The expected harsh reprimand did not happen, but ushered in such a sentence, which made Yan Xing a little stunned, and looked up at his eldest brother with a stunned face.

"Your arrangements are already cautious enough, it's just that Lin Shen's strength has improved too amazingly, beyond everyone's imagination, this time, you have not been unjustly defeated!"

"Big brother."

Yan Xing's face turned red, and he clenched his fists.

Yan Jingren's words made him breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he felt unwilling and ashamed in his heart.

His eldest brother has always had a very high vision, and he easily does not praise others, but he shows amazement at Lin Shen, the enemy, which is really depressing and sad!

His complexion changed several times, Yan Xing gritted his teeth, and was about to open his mouth to ask Yan Jingren to help him again, but he heard the latter say in a deep voice:

"This is the end of Lin Shen's business."

"Big brother!"

Yan Xing was taken aback, and opened his mouth to speak, but when he met Yan Jingren's unquestioning gaze, the words came to his mouth and swallowed back.

"You didn't enter the Dao Academy to deal with Lin Shen, improving your strength is your main purpose!"

Yan Jingren glanced at Yan Xing lightly, and with a flick of his sleeve, a delicate porcelain vase had fallen lightly on the floor in front of Yan Xing.

"There's a Gathering Pill in here, you can take it."

Yan Xing was stunned, and after reacting, he suddenly looked at the porcelain bottle in front of him with a face full of surprise.

How precious is the Gathering Pill!

A single Gathering Breath Pill can allow a pneumatic ninth-layer cultivator to directly break through the bottleneck of the realm, and give birth to a sense of qi to advance to the long-term breathing realm, saving countless time and energy!

What's more, there are no side effects yet!

There will be no worries about weak foundations!

Even the Yan family, one of the five famous families, this kind of pill is not something that can be taken out casually.

There are many children in the Yan family, and they don't know how many people with outstanding qualifications are staring at Juxi Dan.

Yan Jingren most likely took the momentum of breaking through the Ming Realm to get a Gathering Pill from the family.

"Thank you, big brother!" Yan Xing looked grateful.

"Don't be busy rejoicing yet, before the next level challenge, if you can't be promoted to the Longevity Realm, not only the family elders, but I'm afraid that your father will also be completely disappointed in you!"

"Don't worry, big brother, it won't take three months, and within a month, I will guarantee to be promoted to the Long Rest Realm!"

Yan Xing said confidently.

With the Gathering Breath Pill here, if he can't break through the Long Breath Realm within a month, then he can simply give up his cultivation!

Hearing Yan Xing's assurance, Yan Jingren's cold and solemn expression eased slightly, and said:

"Recently, the Tiger Demon Clan of the Longyuan Mountain Range has begun to move again, and there are demon beasts on the periphery of the mountain range one after another, attacking the disciples of the three major sects, it is likely that it will not be long before the battle between Linlong City and the Tiger Department breaks out again!"

"According to the experience of previous years, at that time, the disciples of the four levels of Daoist Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang will go to the Longyuan Mountain Range to kill demon beasts and assist the sect in fighting, then it will be a good opportunity to earn a lot of merits, you must not miss it!"

"So next, you have to put all your energy and mind into cultivation and improve your strength as soon as possible!"

"I see, big brother!"

Yan Xing's expression was solemn and he nodded heavily.

"As for Lin Shen."

Yan Jingren's words changed.

"Si Yuanpei made an exception to promote Lin Shen as a Xuan-level disciple, most likely because he wanted to train him to suppress the family forces in the Dao Academy, but he couldn't help but think too highly of Lin Shen."

"Peng Xinyuan and Kuang Bao can only barely rank into the middle among the yellow-level disciples, and there are many yellow-level disciples who are more powerful than the two of them, and there is even no shortage of disciples of the fourth layer of the Long Breath Realm!"

"As soon as the level challenge arrives in three months, Lin Shen will have to face the challenges of these people, and with his strength, it is still unknown whether he can keep the Xuan-level disciples."

said that there were unknowns, but Yan Jingren's indifferent tone had actually revealed that he was not optimistic about Lin Shen.

The higher the cultivation realm, the greater the gap between each small realm.

Purely based on cultivation, the combat power of the second layer of the Long Breath Realm is enough to steadily defeat the first layer of the Long Breath Realm.

Unless there is too much difference in martial arts between the two sides, there is basically no possibility of winning by leapfrogging.

It is true that Lin Shen's talent and qualifications in martial arts are so good that he encounters the second layer of the Long Breath Realm, where his martial arts attainments are slightly worse, it may not be a problem to fight beyond the level.

But the top handful of the Huang-level disciples are also very superb in martial arts.

Lin Shen wants to leapfrog and defeat those people, how easy is it?

Taking a step back, even if Lin Shen can really defeat an opponent who is one level higher than him, can he still defeat an opponent who is two or even three levels higher than him?

Unless Lin Shen could break through to the fourth layer of the Long Breath Realm in just three months, there was very little hope of retaining the Xuan-level disciple place.

However, if you want to do this, the difficulty is only higher than that of a freshman who firmly occupies the Xuan-level disciple place!

Thinking about this clearly, Yan Xing was sure in his heart, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He clenched the porcelain vase in his hand and secretly made up his mind.

Be sure to break through the Long Breath Realm as soon as possible, and then make a splash in the level challenge three months later and regain your own glory!
