Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Secrets of War
This talent. Looks amazing!
Lin Shen's eyes lit up.
A Consummation Realm martial art increases the martial arts cultivation speed by 10% and the martial arts power by 5%.
It doesn't seem like a high increase, but you have to know that this is a full martial arts effect!
All martial arts, regardless of type, can be blessed and improved by talent effects!
And the potential is also very high.
When it is raised to the limit, it can increase the martial arts cultivation speed by up to 200% and the martial arts power by 100%, which is twice the effect of martial arts excellence!
And like the pure yang body talent, although the effect is martial arts cultivation speed +300% and martial arts power +100%, it only works on yang attribute exercises.
However, the talent of touch bypass is universal to all martial arts, and it is self-evident which is higher and which is lower!
"The only problem is that it is not easy to raise to the upper limit, and you must master twenty Consummation Realm martial arts."
Lin Shen's current cultivation to the Consummation Realm of martial arts includes the Blazing Sun Palm, the Melting Soldier Hand, the Shadow Following, the Cloud Piercing Dragon Yin, and the Forbidden Golden Armor.
There are only five doors when it is full.
It is calculated that the effect of martial arts cultivation speed +50% and martial arts power +25% is only half of the effect of martial arts supernatural talent.
"But it doesn't matter, isn't it just to practice a little more martial arts, as long as the upper limit is high enough!"
Lin Shen smiled, and did not hesitate to finalize this talent, and did not plan to continue brushing.
"Good luck, I used to have to brush at least four or five times to get a good talent, but this time I won the lottery directly!"
"As for martial arts"
Lin Shen thought of the "Iron Scale Gong" and "Wolf Soul Claw" that he had just started, and shook his head with a smile.
Just now I was saying that I didn't need to cultivate these two martial arts, who would have thought that I would have to eat what I said in the blink of an eye.
In order to raise the talent of Touch Bypass to the upper limit as soon as possible, it seems that these two martial arts must be practiced.
"First cultivate the Qi Sword Finger and the Anode Sword Technique to the Consummation Realm, and then come to cultivate the Iron Scale Gong and the Wolf Soul Claw, and after these four martial arts have reached the Consummation Realm, then go to the Meritorious Academy to see if there is a suitable martial art exchange!"
There are countless martial arts in the Meritorious Academy, as long as there are enough meritorious deeds, there is no worry about having no martial arts to cultivate.
Lin Shen didn't have to worry about this at all.
"Keep cultivating!"
Although he hadn't slept all night and had just experienced a series of fierce battles, Lin Shen was still full of energy, and he didn't sleep, and came directly to the practice room to practice.
As always, the three clones of the Pure Yang Body, the Superior Martial Arts, and the Touch Class Bypass are responsible for cultivating martial arts.
Lin Shen and the remaining two clones concentrated on cultivating the Golden Crow Sutra.
Time flies by in cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, the next day came.
Lin Shen left the wooden building and rushed towards the Meritorious Homes House.
Before he stepped into the mission hall, Lin Shen heard the noise coming from inside from a distance, as lively as a vegetable market.
When I walked in, I found that there were many disciples gathered inside, and they were all together in twos and threes, and they seemed to be discussing something fiercely, and the whole hall was much more lively than usual.
Lin Shen came to the counter and asked Jiao Yu in the back:
"Did something happen?"
Jiao Yu heard the voice and looked back, and saw that it was Lin Shen, and a bright smile bloomed on his face.
"Senior Brother Lin, I knew you would be fine!"
Lin Shen was slightly stunned, and immediately realized that the girl was talking about the task of the martial arts hall.
Sure enough, I listened to Jiao Yu continue:
"It's not because of the recruitment mission of the Zhiwutang, Senior Brother Lin, you were there that night, you should know that there was an accident in the mission."
"I heard that there were thousands of fierce victories in the manor that night, and the Zhiwu Hall was caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties, and even the disciples of the Three Great Dao Courtyards who participated in the mission suffered a lot of casualties, it is said that more than 20 disciples died in our Dao Academy, which is the heaviest loss in recent years!"
Lin Shen was taken aback when he heard this.
Although he had known that the Dao Yuan disciples who participated in the mission would definitely suffer a lot of losses, the number of casualties still exceeded his expectations.
There were only about 30 people in total, and more than 20 people died at once, and the casualty rate was more than two-thirds, so the casualties were not unheavy.
Lin Shen couldn't help but be a little happy.
Fortunately, the garrison he was assigned to was located at the outermost part of the encirclement, and when the fiercest victory broke through in front of them, there were only two or three hundred left.
This is to be on the front line, and the most fierce victory to face is at least a thousand.
Even he was enough to face such a number of late-stage demon beasts in the Spirit Enlightenment Realm.
But after thinking about it, if he hadn't stayed at the outermost part of the encirclement, he might not have been targeted by Wan Chaokun and Ji Lu.
That is, he has a clone, and if he is replaced by someone else, he will definitely end up becoming a Dan.
From this point of view, it is not lucky to stay in the outermost area.
It can only be said that it is a blessing and a curse.
After sighing, Lin Shen was also a little happy in his heart.
That monster lair was able to summon thousands of the fiercest victories, and it seemed that the power was even more powerful than he expected!
After breaking through to the Mingqi realm and starting to refine, you can have an extra powerful hole card in your hand!
Suppressing the joy in his heart, Lin Shen pointed to the people in the hall, and then asked Jiao Yu:
"Why am I so excited to see these people?"
Jiao Yu pursed his lips and said in a low voice:
"The disciples who died in this mission are either Xuan-level disciples or yellow-level disciples, and more than 20 places have been vacated at once, and some of them are of course very happy."
Lin Shen was surprised, his eyes swept over those disciples with implicit excitement, and shook his head secretly.
"That's right."
Jiao Yu suddenly said:
"Senior Brother Lin, because of an unexpected change in this mission, Zhiwutang has decided to increase the reward to five small merits, and I will help you register."
Lin Shen smiled and nodded.
It's naturally a good thing to be able to do two more small things.
After the registration was completed, Lin Shen's merits had increased to fifteen small merits.
In addition to the remaining four small skills, there are also five small skills for task rewards, and the remaining six small skills are two months of fixed benefits for Xuan-level disciples.
"Speaking of which, there is still a month left before the disciple level challenge." Lin Shen suddenly thought.
But soon, he put the matter behind him.
Many people in the outside world were concerned about whether Lin Shen could keep the Xuan-level disciple quota, but the person concerned didn't care about it.
Leaving the mission hall, Lin Shen went straight back to the wooden building, ready to continue his cultivation.
Halfway through, a person came in front of him, but it was Leng Xing, who had a conflict with him in the mission hall that day.
Lin Shen was deeply impressed by this senior brother Leng who was forbidden by his father to take on any combat missions.
Leng Xing was also impressed by Lin Shen, and when he saw Lin Shen, he immediately glared angrily.
Lin Shen smiled slightly when he saw this, and didn't entangle with him too much, and walked away.
Looking at Lin Shen's back as he gradually moved away, Leng Xing took a sip.
"What are you proud of, I see if you can still laugh in a month!"
As soon as he walked to the wooden building, Lin Shen saw a paper crane dangling in front of the door.
"It's Feihe again, who is it this time?"
Lin Shen grabbed the paper crane in surprise.
This time, the paper crane was made of folded talismans, and a familiar sound immediately came out of the talisman after it was unfolded.
"Lao Lin, if you have time, come to the Night Dream Hall, Lao Su and I are waiting for you here."
After the message was delivered, the transmission notes quickly dissipated into ashes.
"This old Yang"
The corners of Lin Shen's mouth curled slightly, remembering that he had been busy cultivating for two months after entering the Dao Academy, and he had not yet gathered with Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian, so he canceled his cultivation plan and rushed towards the outside of the Dao Academy.
By the time we arrived at the Nightmare Hall, it was already dark.
Yang Zhongyi obviously had already made arrangements, and as soon as Lin Shen stepped into the Nightdream Hall, a waiter immediately greeted him.
"Mr. Lin, Yang Shao and Su Shao are already waiting for you in the box on the third floor."
Lin Shen bowed slightly, and went down to the third floor under the guidance of the waiter.
After opening the door of the box, he saw Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian sitting on opposite sides of the table, and a beautiful cat lady was sitting next to each of them.
Yang Zhongyi lay lazily on the lap of the cat lady, taking a sip of the wine handed by his white little hand, looking comfortable.
On the other side, Su Nian was sitting upright, with his back straight, and he didn't look at the girl next to him.
Instead, the cat lady stared intently at his side face, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes were obsessed.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Yang Zhongyi looked up, a smile appeared on his face, he sat up and smiled at Lin Shen:
"Lao Lin, you finally appeared, and if I can't see you anymore, I'm going to think you're missing!"
Lin Shen unceremoniously sat down on the side of the table facing the door, picked up a piece of beef tongue with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and said vaguely while chewing:
"Isn't this busy cultivating?"
He just said it casually, but Yang Zhongyi seemed to have a fork, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he waved his hand silently.
The two cat girls immediately got up, bowed slightly, Shi Shiran exited the box, and closed the door.
After the unrelated people left, Yang Zhongyi looked at Lin Shen and said in a condensed voice:
"Are you sure about the disciple level challenge in a month?"
Hearing this, Su Nian suddenly turned his head to look at him, his face slightly condensed.
The turmoil that was boiling during this time in the Jiuyang Daoist Academy, both of them saw it in their eyes, and knew that there were many people who were gearing up, waiting to challenge Lin Shen and seize his Xuan-level disciple place.
In the disciple level challenge a month later, Lin Shen had to face a lot of pressure!
Lin Shen was stunned by the sudden words, and couldn't help but laugh after reacting.
"You called me here just to ask this?"
Seeing that Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian still had serious expressions, Lin Shen smiled and said calmly:
"Don't worry, I won't be able to keep what I have."
Seeing Lin Shen's unexpected self-confidence, Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian couldn't help but be stunned.
They were originally worried that Lin Shen was not sure about the level challenge in the future, and they wanted to encourage Lin Shen, but now it seems that the person concerned doesn't seem to pay attention to it at all.
Could it be that Lin Shen didn't realize what kind of difficulty he was going to face next?
It's good not to lose faith, but it's not good to be too blindly confident.
After hesitating, Yang Zhongyi still felt that he had to remind Lin Shen.
"Lao Lin, it's not that I have the ambition of others to destroy my own prestige, but there are many powerful disciples among the yellow-level disciples, as far as I know, Duan Hao, and Cheng Xipeng, both of them have threatened to challenge you in public places, and they both have long-term fourth-level cultivation, which is not easy to deal with!"
"That's right!"
Su Nian also nodded.
"I've also heard the names of these two people, whether it's Duan Hao or Cheng Xipeng, their strength is enough to rank in the top five among the yellow-level disciples, and these two people are both veterans who have been in the Dao Academy for more than three years, and their martial arts attainments are very superb, even if it's you, it's not necessarily their opponent!"
"I see, thank you for the information." Lin Shen smiled noncommittally.
Seeing that Lin Shen still looked like an old god, Yang Zhongyi and Su Nianju were a little helpless.
However, they also knew that Lin Shen was an assertive person, and once he decided something, it would be difficult to persuade him, so he had to keep his mouth shut.
"If you lack an elixir or a treasure of heaven and earth, you're welcome, just tell me." Yang Zhongyi patted Lin Shen's shoulder and said.
Lin Shen looked at him fixedly, and said:
"Thank you!"
This time, the tone was much more sincere.
From previous interactions, Lin Shen noticed that although Yang Zhongyi was a son of the Yang family, his situation in the family seemed to be a little delicate.
At least the resources they have are far inferior to those of Yan Xing, Xue Feng, Chongyanhe and others, who are the children of the five famous families.
It's even worse than some of the children of the top ten families.
Otherwise, with Yang Zhongyi's qualifications, he would not still be in the pneumatic realm now.
At this time, Yang Zhongyi was willing to allocate resources to help Lin Shen, which was really rare, and he would not have done this at all if he didn't treat him as a real friend.
With this intention in mind, Lin Shen changed his words and said:
"Don't talk about me, what about you, how are you doing?"
"What else, Lao Su and I are only in the pneumatic realm, and we can't take on many crusade tasks that need to go out, so we can only take on some on-duty tasks and make some hard-earned money."
Verbally sold miserably, but the corners of Yang Zhongyi's mouth couldn't help but smile.
"But my cultivation is still improving quite fast, I just broke through to the ninth layer of pneumatics yesterday, no, hurry up and ask you and Lao Su to come out to drink and celebrate!"
Lin Shen nodded secretly.
Yang Zhongyi had originally stayed in the seventh layer of pneumatic for a long time, but after entering the Dao Academy, his cultivation resources increased, and he accumulated steadily, breaking through two realms in a row within two months, which was also reasonable.
"What about Su Nian?" Lin Shen looked at Su Nian.
Su Nian took a sip of wine and said lightly: "Even Zhongyi has broken through, can I still be worse than him?" ”
"Hey, Old Su, what do you mean by that? Is this saying that I am not as qualified as you? ”
"Isn't that true?"
"Fart! Even if Lao Lin is a demon, will I be worse than you? ”
"I broke through to the ninth layer of pneumatics seven days earlier than you."
"It's only seven days, what does that mean?"
Lin Shen looked at the two arguing and shook his head.
Suddenly, he remembered something, and took out two longan-sized fruits from the storage bag, with a whole body green like gemstones, and placed them on the table.
The sudden action immediately attracted the attention of Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian, and the two stopped bickering and turned their heads to look.
"Lao Lin, what is this?" Yang Zhongyi asked suspiciously.
"Spiritual Breath Fruit."
"It turned out to be the spirit. Spiritual Breath Fruit?! ”
Yang Zhongyi's eyes widened in astonishment.
As a child of a family, he naturally wouldn't have heard of the Spirit Breath Fruit.
This is the most important main material for refining the Gathering Pill!
Su Nian also showed a surprised gaze.
The Spirit Breath Fruit is very difficult to find, and even the Meritorious Homes don't have an exchange, where did Lin Shen get it?
However, what surprised them even more was that Lin Shen picked up a spirit fruit in each hand and placed it in front of the two of them.
"This thing is of little use to me, I believe that in your hands, it should be able to play a greater role."
"Old Forest"
Yang Zhongyi and Su Nianju were both taken aback and looked at Lin Shen in a daze.
The Spirit Breath Fruit was rare and abnormal, even if Lin Shen couldn't use it, he could exchange it for at least seven or eight items worth of small merits, but he would give them them without hesitation, which really moved the two of them greatly.
"Don't act like a mother-in-law."
Lin Shen scolded with a smile.
"Let's talk about it first, I'm only responsible for giving you the Spirit Breath Fruit, the other materials needed to refine the Gathering Breath Pill, and the alchemist, so you have to find it yourself."
Yang Zhongyi came back to his senses at this time, and he didn't twist and pinch the fake politeness, put away the spirit breath fruit, patted his chest and laughed:
"Don't worry, I'll leave the matter of alchemy to me, I still have this connection!"
Su Nian's eyebrows were also difficult to hide his joy.
The most difficult part of refining the Gathering Pill is to find the Spiritual Breath Fruit.
As for the alchemist, it is relatively simple.
It's a big deal to spend some merit and let the alchemist of the Dan Pavilion of the Jiuyang Daoist Academy help refine it, and the Merit Academy has this exchange item.
And as long as the Gathering Breath Pill is refined, with the cultivation of the two of them at the ninth level of pneumatic movement, they can directly advance to the Long Breath Realm after taking it.
How does this not overjoye them?
It can be said that Lin Shen has helped them too much this time!
It's just that both Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian knew that saying words of gratitude at this time would inevitably seem raw, so they had to hide this feeling in the depths of their hearts.
In a happy mood, the atmosphere in the box became more and more enthusiastic.
After three rounds of drinking, Yang Zhongyi finally talked about the real purpose of calling Lin Shenlai this time.
"The demon clan of the Longyuan Mountain Range?" Lin Shen raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"That's right." Yang Zhongyi nodded, "You should know the five major demon divisions of the Longyuan Mountain Range, right?" ”
Of course Lin Shen knew.
There are many demon tribes in the Longyuan Mountain Range, and their strength is different, but it is recognized that the five tribes of tigers, pythons, bears, foxes, and eagles are the most powerful, so they are called the five demon tribes by human cultivators.
"The five demon tribes live in the depths of the Longyuan Mountain Range all year round, except for a few low-level demon beasts, they rarely haunt the outer reaches of the mountain range, but during this time, they are unusual!"
"In addition to the fox department that has hidden whereabouts all the year round, and the eagle department that has a proud temperament and rarely interacts with other demon departments, the three major demon departments of tiger, python, and bear have frequently appeared on the periphery of the mountain range recently, attacking cultivators, and many cultivators have died in Linlong City, and the three major sects are furious about this, according to the information I have gotten, it is estimated that it will not be long before the three major sects will join forces to launch a counterattack against the three major demon departments!"
"According to the experience of previous years, our Dao Academy should also send disciples to participate in the war at that time, and this is also a good opportunity for Dao Academy disciples to earn a lot of merits!"
Lin Shen was amazed when he heard this.
It was the first time he had heard of such a secret.
Fighting the demon clan doesn't look bad!
Earning merit is secondary, the key is that you can take the opportunity to brush up on the talent effect of killing the Dao, maybe it is a great opportunity to quickly improve your strength!
Thinking of this, Lin Shen couldn't help but feel moved.
Su Nian's eyes were also bright, and he was obviously quite impressed—of course, he was there to earn more merits.
In fact, any Taoist disciple who is a little self-motivated will not refuse such an opportunity.
It is dangerous to fight with the demon clan, but if you want to improve your strength, how can you not encounter danger?
As long as the benefits are enough, there are many Taoist disciples who flock to them!
"When?" Lin Shen asked.
Yang Zhongyi groaned and said slowly: "A large-scale war like this usually requires a lot of preparation time, and I estimate that it should have to wait until after the disciple level challenge. ”
Lin Shen nodded secretly.
Fortunately, by then, he should have broken through to the sixth layer of long-term breath, or even the seventh layer of long-term breath, and the sixth clone can also be condensed, and his strength will skyrocket, and he will definitely be able to win more on the battlefield!
