What happened on the day of the new students' registration quickly spread like a hurricane throughout the Jiuyang Dao Academy, and it was not surprising that it caused an uproar.

Since the establishment of the Jiuyang Daoist Academy, it is the first time that an old student has lost to a new student in the mentoring battle.

It was the first time that a freshman had defeated two Long Breath Realm disciples in a row in a mentoring battle.

It is the first time that a new student has become a Xuan-level disciple as soon as he is admitted to the hospital!

It can be said that Lin Shen has set a number of unprecedented records at one time.

Originally, Lin Shen was already quite well-known in Jiuyang Daoist Academy because of his identity as the first freshman chief who was not from a family.

Now after this battle, his reputation has skyrocketed, and he has become a man of the year in Jiuyang Daoyuan!

However, at the same time, there were also many people who were very dissatisfied with Lin Shen's exceptional promotion to a Xuan-level disciple.

If it weren't for Si Yuanpei, who ordered Lin Shen's promotion, some disciples would have made a fuss.

However, he didn't dare to protest on the surface, but secretly there were already many yellow-level disciples who were ready to challenge Lin Shen in the level challenge in three months and seize his Xuan-level disciple spot.

After all, no matter how powerful a freshman is, he is just a freshman.

Isn't it too wasteful not to pinch such a soft persimmon?

And just when the turmoil spread, Lin Shen, as the person concerned, turned a deaf ear to what was going on outside the window, and was completely immersed in cultivation.

[Name: Lin Shen]

【Talent: Heavenly Jealousy Talent】

[Realm: 82% of the second floor of long-term breath]

[Exercises: Golden Crow Sutra (5% proficient), Blazing Sun Palm (Perfection), Shadow (Perfection), Melting Soldier Hand (76% proficient), Cloud Piercing Dragon Yin (54% proficient), Forbidden Golden Armor (45% proficient), Gathering Fan Art (12% proficient)]

[Number of clones 5 (20%)]

After ten days of cultivation, Lin Shen not only successfully broke through to the second layer of the Long Breath Realm, but also successfully ascended to the Mastery Realm.

The rest of the martial arts have also been improved to varying degrees.

The Forbidden Golden Armor even broke through to the mastery realm with the assistance of the Xuan Bone Liquid!

And the progress of the martial arts is almost halfway there!

"This bone fluid is really easy to use, but it's a pity that it's only five drops."

"It seems that there is also Xuan bone liquid in the Meritorious Courtyard that can be exchanged?"

Lin Shen recalled that the Xuan bone fluid was a drop of twenty meritorious deeds.

He estimated in his heart that if there were twenty or thirty drops of Xuan Bone Fluid, he should be able to cultivate the Forbidden Golden Armor to the consummation realm within a month.

But after thinking about it, Lin Shen finally gave up this tempting idea.

At present, there are still many places that need to be used for meritorious service, and they cannot be consumed on exchanging Xuan Bone Liquid.

After all, even if there is no Xuan Bone Liquid, the Forbidden Golden Armor can be cultivated to the Consummation Realm, and it will take some more time at most.

Moreover, he also has the talent of killing the Dao to quickly improve the realm of martial arts.

"After breaking through to the second layer of the Long Breath Realm, the effect of Ning Zhen Dan has also decreased."

"A Ning Zhen Pill can only increase the cultivation progress by 2% now, it seems that it can reach the fifth layer of the Long Breath Realm at most, and the Ning Zhen Pill is estimated to have no effect."

Lin Shen remembered another elixir he had seen in the Meritorious Homes before, Hun Yuan Dan.

It was a precious pill that was more effective than the Ning Zhen Pill, and it was also suitable for cultivators in the Long Breath Realm to assist in cultivation.

It's just that the price is also amazingly high, and fifty merit points can only be exchanged for one, which is more than ten times that of Ning Zhen Dan!

With his current net worth, he can't afford it for the time being.

Shaking his head, Lin Shen got up and left the wooden building, preparing to fill his stomach first.

In order to facilitate the disciples to eat, there are several canteens in the Jiuyang Taoist Temple.

One of them happens to be near the residential area.

The cafeteria offers a wide variety of food that is delicious and more importantly free.

The supply of meat was open to the disciples to take it as they pleased.

Of course, only for ordinary meat.

If you want to eat the meat of the spirit beast, you need to pay merit points.

Even the cafeteria can provide more abundant energy, even for cultivators in the Long Breath Realm, it has a good effect, and it can strengthen the demon beast meat of true qi.

It's just that the price of tens or hundreds of meritorious points per catty at every turn discourages many disciples.

After breaking through to the Long-Breathing Realm, Lin Shen could only fill his stomach even if he ate more ordinary meat now.

If you want to improve your cultivation efficiency, you must at least eat spirit beast meat.

So these days, he has spent a lot of merit points on three meals a day to buy spirit beast meat.

Ten days later, Lin Shen only had three small merits left in his hands, and the merit points had already been spent cleanly.

"I have to take on a few tasks, otherwise I will sit and eat empty mountains if I go on like this."

After eating, Lin Shen did not go to the Meritorious Homes but rushed towards the Internal Affairs Academy.

As soon as I stepped into the gate of the Internal Affairs Academy, I bumped into a young man approaching.

When the other party saw Lin Shen, he was stunned at first, then showed a surprised smile, and hurriedly greeted him.

"Senior Brother Lin, do you have anything to do with coming to the Internal Affairs Academy?"

Lin Shen was stunned: "You know me?" ”

"Of course!" The young man rubbed his hands and laughed, "Senior Brother Lin is now a big celebrity in the Dao Academy, and everyone in the entire Dao Academy knows about it, how can anyone still not recognize you?" ”

Being respectfully called a senior brother by a person who was obviously much older than him, Lin Shen was really a little unaccustomed to it, so he casually said a few polite words and said what he meant.

"Deacon Tao? He seems to be inside, Senior Brother Lin, wait a minute, I'll go tell Deacon Tao! ”

The young man left in a hurry, without even saying his name.

Lin Shen couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

After only waiting for a moment, Tao Zongbao strode over, and arched his hand towards Lin Shen with a smile on his face from a distance of seven or eight meters.

"Haha, Lin Daoyou, long time no see, I was still talking about you when I chatted with Kou Ming yesterday, how are you late?"

"I'm tired of Deacon Tao and Senior Brother Kou, I've been busy cultivating recently, so I haven't gone out much." Lin Shen smiled and saluted.

"Cultivation is good, Lin Daoyou is talented, he should focus on cultivation, and the future will definitely be promising!"

Tao Zongbao was not too numb, and said a lot of good things, and then asked with a smile:

"Is there anything wrong with Lin Daoyou coming to the Internal Affairs Institute, there is a place where I need to be used, just ask!"

"There's really one thing to trouble Deacon Tao."

Lin Shen pondered his language and asked slowly:

"Is there a way for Deacon Tao to get into that kind of rare herb or elixir that has strong side effects, but can speed up the efficiency of cultivation, such as Snake Orchid, Boiling Blood Powder and the like?"

Tao Zongbao was stunned, as if he had thought of something, and showed an extremely strange expression.

"Lin Daoyou, your qualifications are so strong, even the master of the academy is very appreciative and recognized, as long as you follow the steps and practice steadily, you will be able to become a monk one day, even if you fall into a trough for a while, you will be able to make a comeback sooner or later, there is really no need to take risks."

At other times, Tao Zongbao wouldn't think much about it.

But recently, Lin Shen's matter has been in an uproar, and many yellow-level disciples have even threatened in public to replace Lin Shen as a Xuan-level disciple in three months.

After making do with the two, Tao Zongbao suddenly thought that Lin Shen couldn't bear the pressure, so he wanted to take a shortcut to improve his strength, so as to keep the place of Xuan-level disciple in the level challenge three months later.

Seeing Tao Zongbao's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Lin Shen didn't know that the other party wanted to fork, so he hurriedly said:

"Deacon Tao, I'm not looking for these things for my own use, but for another purpose!"

This is not false, after all, those things are indeed not used by Lin Shen.

Seeing Lin Shen's eyes clear and his expression solemn, not like he was covering up, Tao Zongbao was relieved.

Thinking about it, Lin Shen doesn't look like such an impulsive person, how can he risk his future?

The doubts in his heart were gone, Tao Zongbao smiled again, thought about it, and said:

"Although this kind of thing is rare, there are many disciples in the Taoist Academy who have inadvertently started it when they are practicing outside, but because the cost performance is not high, it has always been difficult to get rid of it, if someone is willing to buy it, presumably they will not refuse, but"

Lin Shen comprehended and immediately said, "I can buy it with merit!" ”

Tao Zongbao heard this, and the smile on his face was deep.

"Then there is no problem, Lin Daoyou, don't worry, I promise to give you a fair price!"

"Trouble Deacon Tao!"

Both of them tacitly agreed not to talk about the price difference in the middle.

Since it is troublesome for someone to help, it is definitely necessary to give the other party a little benefit.

Lin Shen didn't care at what price Tao Zongbao would buy things from others, as long as the final price given to him did not exceed his psychological expectations.

Besides, he didn't think that Tao Zongbao would be stupid enough to offend himself for a little profit.

If he was really so short-sighted, Tao Zongbao would not be able to climb to the position of deacon of the Internal Affairs Yuan.

Coming out of the Internal Affairs Courtyard, Lin Shen breathed a sigh of relief, with a touch of joy on his face.

Under the search of Old Man Wu several times, most of the rare herbs and pills that have similar effects to the condensation liquid in Heijie have basically entered the stomach of clone No. 2.

The last few times, Old Man Wu has collected fewer and fewer exotic herbs and pills each time.

It is foreseeable that it will not be long before there are not many similar exotic herbs and pills to be found on the black street.

Therefore, Lin Shen made the idea to the Jiuyang Dao Academy.

Disappointingly, there were no similar items on the redemption list of the Meritorious Authorities.

I think that most of the disciples would exchange this kind of thing, and the Taoist Academy didn't want to see disciples take shortcuts with these things, so they simply removed it from the list.

At this time, Kou Ming introduced Tao Zongbao to Lin Shen.

Lin Shen had an idea at that time, and had the idea of asking the other party to find it.

That's why we have today's House of Internal Affairs delegation.

And Tao Zongbao did not disappoint Lin Shen, patting his chest and responding to the matter.

It is worth mentioning that it is forbidden for disciples to trade merits between disciples in the Jiuyang Dao Academy.

However, there are policies and countermeasures, and meritorious deeds cannot be traded, so it is always okay to trade the items exchanged for meritorious deeds.

The Taoist Academy can't prohibit the trading of items between disciples, right?

So the disguised merit deal was born.

"You have to earn a lot of merit as soon as possible!"

If you want to trade enough rare herbs or pills, it is obviously not enough to rely on the three small skills that Lin Shen has now.

Thinking of this, Lin Shen immediately rushed to the Meritorious Home non-stop.

Coming to the mission hall again, it is as dense as ever with wooden signs.

Lin Shen concentrated his mind and carefully searched for them among the wooden cards.

Intelligence tasks were first ruled out by him.

This kind of task is too uncertain, and in case of unexpected dangers, it is too late to cry!

The second is the on-duty task, which was also decisively abandoned by Lin Shen.

Not to mention that this kind of task pays low, it takes a long time, and safety is safety, but the cost performance is too low.

Eliminate the two mission types, and all that's left is the collection class and the crusade class.

The former does not need to pick up the task on the spot, and you can wait until you get the things and then get the corresponding wooden card to complete the task.

Therefore, Lin Shen's attention was mainly on crusade tasks.

The vast majority of these crusade missions are located outside the city.

Linlong City is adjacent to the Longyuan Mountain Range, and the north and east directions are surrounded by endless mountains, and the name of Linlong is also derived from this.

And in this vast mountain range, there are many demon tribes and countless ghosts.

Therefore, the targets of most of the crusade missions are the demon clans and ghosts in the Longyuan Mountain Range.

The few remaining ones are the vast lakes and swamps that live in the west of Linlong City, and the demons in the fields to the east.

Lin Shen's focus was on the tasks related to the Longyuan Mountain Range.

After all, compared to the lakes and swamps in the west and the wilderness in the east of the city, there are undoubtedly more natural treasures in the Longyuan Mountain Range.

With Xiao Ai such a treasure hunt, Lin Shen must make good use of it.

'Go to the Longyuan Mountain Range to kill a white-winged demon tiger, you need to retrieve the tiger's backbone as a certificate, ask for a long-term rest realm cultivation, and pay a small reward! ’

'To clear the group of mountain spirits entrenched on Huohe Mountain, you need to retrieve the head of the leader of the mountain spirits as a certificate, and ask for the cultivation of the long-rest realm, and pay for three small efforts! ’

"Go to the Longyuan Mountain Range to kill a hundred arrowbirds, you need to retrieve its sharp beak as a certificate, ask for a long breath realm cultivation, and reward two small merits."

After a busy time, Lin Shen quickly picked out five tasks and went to the counter near the entrance of the main hall with the wooden card.

The person behind the counter is still the same girl who registered his merits for him last time.

Seeing Lin Shen, the girl's eyes lit up.

Last time, she didn't recognize Lin Shen, but she felt that the other party was very faceless.

It wasn't until I heard about the mentoring battle later that I was shocked to realize that the person I met that day was this year's freshman chief!

When she met Lin Shen again, the girl naturally recognized it at the first time, and immediately laughed and talked to Lin Shen, one by one, Senior Brother Lin.

Lin Shen was also happy to chat with beautiful women, chatting casually while registering.

It was only then that he learned that the girl's name was Jiao Yu.

"Okay, Senior Brother Lin, the task has been registered, and after completing the task, you can come over with the voucher to hand it over."

"This is a talisman to go out of the city, you need to hand it back after completing the task, only one person can go out of the city, and the time limit is up to one month, after which it will be invalid, if there is still a task that has not been completed by then, you can come to me to replace it."

"In addition, this is the map of the Longyuan Mountain Range, and every disciple who receives a mission outside the city for the first time can get a map for free!"

Jiao Yu handed over a map.

The topographical trend of the Longyuan Mountains is drawn in detail, and the location distribution of each demon tribe and demon beast group is also marked.

The closer you get to the outskirts of the mountains, the more detailed the information will be.

Lin Shen was overjoyed when he saw this, he was worried about where to buy the map of the Longyuan Mountain Range, but he didn't expect the Daoist Academy to be so considerate and directly sent a copy for free.

"The map is updated every three months, after which merit purchases are required."

Jiao Yu reminded him intimately.

"Also, it is recommended that you buy some talismans such as Flying Feather Talismans, Light Body Talismans, and Guiding Talismans, which may be able to be used outside!"

"Thank you!"

Lin Shen smiled and thanked Jiao Yu.

Leaving the mission hall, he turned around and went to the exchange hall again, and exchanged a small skill for a royal beast bag.

The Beast Bag is a talisman that can temporarily serve as a shelter for demon beasts, making it convenient for cultivators to walk outside with demon beasts.

Considering that this outing experience will take Xiao Ai to accompany him to hunt for treasures, it will undoubtedly be much more convenient to have a beast sac.

As for the talisman that Jiao Yu said, Lin Shen was going to go to the True Martial Pavilion to spend spirit coins to buy it, so he wouldn't waste his merits.
