The battle of the Nine Yang Sect to clear the portal did not last long.

In the evening of the same day, news came from Baihu Mountain that the Yan clan had been ambushed.

Including the head of the family, Yan Zhongrong, all seventeen monks of the Yan family were killed in battle.

None of the monks or below survived.

At this point, the Yan family has been officially removed from the Jiuyang Sect.

The eighteenth family also became seventeen.

The Yan family was destroyed, but the subsequent impact continued to ferment in the Jiuyang Sect.

But all this has nothing to do with Jiuyang Daoyuan.

Compared with the follow-up turmoil caused by the collapse of the Yan family, Lin Shen's killing of Yan Jingren had an even greater impact in the Dao Courtyard!

For several days in a row, the name Lin Shen appeared in almost everyone's topic after dinner.

However, the person concerned has no time to care about this kind of thing.

On the third day after killing Yan Jingren, Lin Shen received an invitation from Xie Jingsheng and entered the upper courtyard again.

As soon as they met, Xie Jingsheng smiled and said, "Senior Brother Lin, come with me, the teacher wants to see you." ”

Lin Shen's heart moved.

For Si Yuanpei, he could not be said to be impressed.

Whether it was the promotion of Xuan-level disciples at the beginning, or the revelation of the Yan family's exclusive devouring of the spiritual acupoint, he either passively or actively intersected with Si Yuanpei.

It's just that the intersection is the intersection, and he hasn't seen Si Yuanpei with his own eyes so far.

Now it's finally time to meet each other!

Lin Shen bowed slightly, and walked inside side by side with Xie Jingsheng.

On the way, Lin Shen asked about the spiritual cave.

Yan Jingren's strength skyrocketed with the help of the spirit acupoint, and it also caused a lot of turmoil in the Taoist Academy in the future.

Many disciples are very enthusiastic about the spiritual acupoint because of this matter, and they are eager to use the spiritual acupoint to quickly improve their cultivation with the help of Yan Jingren.

Lin Shen is certainly no exception.

Although he has a clone and his cultivation speed far exceeds that of others, no one will dislike his cultivation speed being too fast.

If the Spirit Cave could allow him to cultivate by leaps and bounds, he would not refuse either.

As a disciple of Si Yuanpei, Xie Jingsheng knew more information than ordinary disciples, and when he heard this, he did not hide it, and said with a smile:

"The sect has found the underground spirit cave, and the spirit cave has been fully opened, I estimate that it won't be long before the sect will gradually release the quota and let the sect enter the spirit cave to cultivate, and then our Taoist Academy should also get a batch of places."

When he mentioned that the spiritual acupoint had been fully opened, Xie Jingsheng's eyes flashed with a meaningful light.

Lin Shen knew it in his heart.

I'm afraid my previous guess was correct.

The sect's move to postpone the attack did contain the intention of using the Yan family to open the spiritual acupoint.

Poor Yan family paid such a big price, and in the end they made wedding dresses for others.

While talking, the two unknowingly came to a wooden building.

Xie Jingsheng stopped at the door and smiled at Lin Shen: "Senior brother, I'll send you here." ”

"I'm tired of my brother!"

Seeing Xie Jingsheng leave, Lin Shen calmed down, turned around and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

A deep, deep voice came from behind the door.

Lin Shen pushed the door in, and was greeted by a quaint tea room.

There was only one low table and two clusters of mats.

On the top of the futon near the inside sat an old man with frosty white sideburns.

He is extremely tall, and even when he sits, his straight body still gives people a sense of oppression on the majestic shore.

A pair of eyes are blazing, and their gaze is as sharp as a sword.

"Master of the Academy." Lin Shen bowed slightly.

He still had to have the least respect for this monk and monk.

"Sit down."

Si Yuanpei pointed to the futon in front of him, his face seemed stern and solemn, but his tone was unexpectedly gentle.

After Lin Shen sat down as he said, Si Yuanpei's sleeve robe swept towards the low tabletop, and there were a few more things on the originally empty tabletop.

Two tokens, a ring, and a jade tube.

"This time to exterminate the Yan family, you have made a lot of contributions, the sect has never treated meritorious people lightly, from today on, you are a disciple of the upper court!"

Si Yuanpei pointed to the two tokens on the table, and said without hesitation:

"This is the identity token of the disciples of the Upper Court, as well as the talisman to enter the Upper Court."

Lin Shen bowed slightly, but didn't say anything.

It was only natural for him to be promoted to the disciple of the Upper Court.

Even if there is no reward from the sect, it is only a matter of time before he becomes a disciple of the upper court.

The sect must also know this, and will not take the status of a disciple of the upper court as a reward, this is only incidental, and the real reward should be other.

Sure enough, Si Yuanpei then pointed to the ring again.

"The things stored in this storage ring are the sect's reward for your merits this time."

Lin Shen's gaze fell on the storage ring.

If Si Yuanpei can personally deliver the storage ring to him, the contents will definitely not be bad.

But now is not the time to check, Lin Shen bowed his head slightly, and his gaze immediately fell on the last jade tube.

Noticing his gaze, Si Yuanpei's expression was slightly solemn, and he said in a deep voice:

"Cultivating the Immortal Dao, the achievement of the monk is the initial and most important starting point, this level is extremely important, you have now been promoted to the sixth layer of the Enlightenment Channel, and it is not far from that pass, it is also time to know some things about the achievement of the monk."

"This jade cylinder records a little bit of my experience about becoming a monk, you can take it back and read it carefully."

Lin Shen was slightly stunned, and immediately understood that this was a personal gift from Si Yuanpei.

After reacting, Lin Shen couldn't help but be overjoyed.

He can be said to be blind to how to achieve a monk, and he is not sure if he can achieve it after the ninth layer, and he is thinking about how to collect information about the achievement monk, but he didn't expect to send a pillow when he fell asleep.

Si Yuanpei's assist came really timely!

"Thank you, Master!" Lin Shen's words of thanks were sincere.

The Master of the Courtyard glanced at him and suddenly showed a faint smile.

"When you first entered the Taoist Academy, I promoted you to a Xuan-level disciple, although it was to promote your faster growth, but after all, it brought you a lot of trouble, and this jade tube should be regarded as compensation for you."

Lin Shen was stunned, and then smiled dumbly.

It turned out to be because of this stubble.

After laughing for a moment, Lin Shen suddenly remembered something and asked, "Master of the Academy, I don't know about the Haoshan Fox Clan."

Si Yuanpei was silent, and said slowly: "This time, I can discover the intentions of the Yan family in time, and the Haoshan fox clan also has merit, the sect inherits their feelings, and after exterminating the Yan family, they will release all the Haoshan foxes that the Yan family secretly captured." ”

Hearing this, Lin Shen was a little surprised.

In his imagination, the sect should not be so simple to let the Haoshan Fox return to freedom.

After all, the five major demon tribes have gone to three of them, and only the fox and eagle tribes with the most secret whereabouts are left.

Such an opportunity to weaken the fox department, the sect is willing to let it go?

Even if Haoshan Fox has the merit of exposing the Yan family, the most he can do is not kill them, and use the soul contract to restrict their freedom, wouldn't it be better for the sect to drive them in the future?

As if seeing Lin Shen's doubts, Si Yuanpei said lightly: "When the sect rushed to the peak where the spirit cave was located, there was no one in ten Haoshan foxes imprisoned there, and most of them were taken by the Yan family as blood sacrifices. ”

Lin Shen was stunned, and then he was a little embarrassed.

Dare to love because the Haoshan Fox clan has suffered heavy casualties, so that the sect can't stand it, so they simply let them go.

After this incident, it is estimated that the Haoshan fox clan will not want to recover for hundreds of years, and there is no need to be afraid.

was sighing with emotion, and suddenly heard Si Yuanpei say: "You have the means to contact that fox demon named Qiu Li." ”

There is nothing to hide this, Lin Shen admitted calmly.

"Watch out for that fox demon." Si Yuanpei said

Lin Shen suddenly looked puzzled: "Can the master of the courtyard say it clearly?" ”

Si Yuanpei glanced at him and said, "She is a demon cultivator." ”

After being stunned for a few seconds, Lin Shen suddenly reacted to the meaning of Si Yuanpei's words, and immediately widened his eyes in astonishment.

Qiu Li is a demon clan in the realm of monks?

But he clearly didn't feel the powerful qi from Qiu Li that day.

Besides, if Qiu Li is a demon cultivator, how can he not even be able to deal with a Uro incarnation?

Fortunately, Si Yuanpei quickly solved his confusion.

"Qiu Li is the daughter of the contemporary patriarch of the Haoshan Fox clan, and she was seriously injured in the fight with Yan Zhongrong."

I see.

Lin Shen was a little stunned.

I didn't expect that I unknowingly had contact with a demon cultivator, and I also had an experience of 'living and dying together'.

What a wonderful thing it is!

"In a short time, the sect will open the spiritual acupoint to the disciples in the sect, and the disciples of the Daoist Academy will also be in the open ranks, in view of the merits of this time, I will fight for a place for you, I hope you will make good use of this opportunity." Si Yuanpei said suddenly.

I don't know if it's Lin Shen's illusion, he feels that Si Yuanpei's words seem to be meaningful.

But before he could figure it out, Si Yuanpei had already waved his hand, signaling that he could leave.

Lin Shen had no choice but to get up and leave.

Walking out of the wooden building, Xie Jingsheng was still waiting outside, and greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Lin, in the future, you and I will both be disciples of the Upper Court!"

Lin Shen thanked him and asked about the treatment of the disciples in the upper court.

Xie Jingsheng naturally answered everything.

After listening to his story, Lin Shen gradually understood.

Compared with the disciples of the lower court, the treatment of the disciples of the upper court is more than a few chips.

The first is a fixed meritorious service that can be obtained every month with five merits.

The second is that you can have a courtyard in the upper courtyard that is equivalent to the level of the house.

In addition, when the disciples of the Upper Court encountered difficulties in cultivation, they could also spend their merits to ask the Master of the Academy for advice.

Don't underestimate this, there are many obstacles on the path of cultivation, and if you have a famous teacher to guide you, you can avoid many detours, which will be of great help to your cultivation.

This may not be of much use to the children of top families, but it is of great benefit to the disciples of the Han spectrum or the commoners.

Finally, every once in a while, the disciples of the upper courtyard can also get resources such as pills and magic weapons rewarded by the sect.

Of course, how to distribute it depends on the game between the disciples of the upper court.

After listening to Xie Jingsheng's words, Lin Shen nodded secretly.

Although it was not very useful for him to ask the master of the courtyard for advice on the difficulties of cultivation, it was very good to have a courtyard with fixed merits and the level of the house every month.

The two talked as they walked forward, and after a short time they came to the door of a simple and elegant courtyard.

Obviously, this is Lin Shen's residence in the upper courtyard.

After leading the way, Xie Jingsheng didn't stay long, and said goodbye to Lin Shen and left.

Seeing him go away, Lin Shen took out the talisman to open the ban and walked into the courtyard.

He didn't feel anything outside, but after stepping into the courtyard, Lin Shen instantly felt that the air was filled with a rich aura, and its density was more than a notch higher than that of the elite house where heaven-level disciples lived.

"It's such a rich aura, cultivating here, the efficiency is at least half higher than that outside!" Lin Shen secretly praised.

The layout of the courtyard is not luxurious, but it is chic and exquisite, which is very much in line with his heart.

After walking around and getting roughly familiar with the environment of the courtyard, Lin Shen came to the practice room, sat down cross-legged, and took out the storage ring and jade tube he got from Si Yuanpei.

After a little groaning, Lin Shen first picked up the jade cylinder, condensed his soul and probed into it, and read it carefully.

He was very interested in Si Yuanpei's record of becoming a monk.

There are a lot of contents recorded in the jade tube, Lin Shen calmed down and quietly flipped through it, and as time passed, his eyes became brighter and brighter.

As Si Yuanpei said, what is recorded in the jade cylinder is about how to become a monk.

After reaching the ninth level of enlightenment, if a cultivator wants to go one step further and break through the cage to become a monk, he must first cast a spiritual vein.

Only by casting the spiritual veins can we transform the true qi into the spiritual energy, differentiate the spiritual consciousness, and step into the immortal path.

The number of spiritual veins cast will also greatly affect the upper limit of the monk's future achievements.

In the cultivation world, the spiritual veins are divided into one to five grades according to the number of spiritual veins, based on nine, from high to low.

Five of them only need to cast nine spiritual veins.

And this is the minimum requirement for becoming a monk.

The higher the quality of the vein, the greater the potential of the monk, and vice versa.

Monks who are promoted with the five-rank spiritual vein are almost destined to be unable to break through the spiritual stage in their lifetime in the future.

From the moment he was promoted, he was labeled with a bleak future.

The four-grade spiritual veins need to be cast into eighteen spiritual veins, and it is possible to break through the spiritual period in the future.

The three-grade spiritual veins need to be forged twenty-seven spiritual veins.

If nothing else, breaking through the Soul Containment Stage is almost a sure thing.

Not to mention the second-grade spiritual veins, although there are as many as thirty-six spiritual veins that need to be cast, once successful, then the future is great and the achievements are extraordinary!

The current head of the Jiuyang Sect is a real person, and he was a monk with a second-grade spiritual vein back then!

As for the higher grade spiritual veins, I have only heard of rumors, and those who have this opportunity are all figures with great prestige in the Xuanmen.

There may have been people in Tokaido who had achieved monks with a first-grade spiritual vein, but there had never been such a figure in the Jiuyang Sect.

And if you want to achieve a first-grade spiritual vein, you need to cast as many as forty-five spiritual veins!

The further back in the vein, the more difficult it becomes, requiring countless amounts of time, energy, and resources.

Those who can forge twenty or thirty spiritual veins and possess three-grade spiritual veins are already considered to have a promising future.

If you want to forge forty-five spiritual veins, talent, resources, and opportunities are indispensable, and people with deep backgrounds and great perseverance cannot do it!

"Is it a spiritual vein?"

Lin Shen's eyes flashed, and his heart was hot.

Ordinary monks are already very satisfied if they can achieve the four spiritual veins.

Even if it is a child of a family, the goal is only a third-grade or second-grade spiritual vein.

Almost no one has the luxury of achieving a spiritual vein.

After all, it was too far away.

But Lin Shen is different, he has a clone, so he has to challenge the highest spiritual vein.

Thousands of high-rise buildings rise from the ground, only by laying a solid foundation, can we climb to a higher realm in the future!

After settling down, Lin Shen calmed down and continued to browse.

To forge a spiritual vein, you need to use an elixir called the Casting Elixir.

According to the different talents and qualifications of cultivators, the number of spirit casting pills required to forge spiritual veins also varies.

Those who are gifted may only need one Casting Elixir to forge the first spiritual vein.

And some people with inferior roots and bones may take four or five Casting Spirit Pills, but they may not be able to cast the first spirit vein.

Many monks with insufficient qualifications have invested countless energy and resources in their lives, and after casting seven or eight spiritual veins, they have no further progress, and they cannot forge the last spiritual vein until they die, and they pass away with unwillingness and regret.

For example, this is the case with the Cold Light Garden.

However, the only thing that is the same is that the further the spiritual veins are, the more Casting Spirit Pills are needed for casting.

"I don't know how many spirit casting pills I need to forge the first spirit vein?"

Lin Shen thought secretly.

The elixir is precious.

There was a mouthful in the jade cylinder, and the Meritorious Academy now has a casting elixir for exchange.

It's just that the price of one is as high as ten Zhonggong, which is comparable to ten bottles of Divine Cultivation Pill!

And if you want to forge a spiritual vein, even if it is only a fifth-grade spiritual vein, you need dozens or hundreds of spiritual casting pills, and ordinary cultivators can't afford it at all.

"Unless it's a child of a family, or a teacher behind Senior Brother Xie, the mere step of collecting the Spirit Casting Pill is enough to stump many people!" Lin Shen sighed secretly.

Suddenly, his eyes suddenly paused, and he saw a description in the jade tube.

According to the description, the main and most expensive ingredient for refining the spirit elixir is called spirit dust, which is the essence left by the dissolution of the body of a spirit called the earth spirit.

And the earth spirit is mostly haunted in the depths of the ground, where the aura is strong.

This includes the Underground Crypt!

Seeing this, Lin Shen finally suddenly understood what Si Yuanpei's last words meant.

There are a large number of spirits in the spirit cave in the Longyuan Mountain Range, and if you can enter the spirit cave, it will undoubtedly be a great opportunity to collect spirit dust.

As long as there is enough spirit dust, he can find other materials on his own, and then go to the Dan Pavilion to ask the alchemist to help refine the spirit casting pill, and the price paid is far less than simply exchanging the spirit casting pill from the Meritorious Academy.

It was undoubtedly very beneficial to him, a civilian disciple who did not have the support of family resources behind him.

"Looks like we're going to have to go to the Spiritual Cave!"

Lin Shen's eyes flashed, and he quickly had a plan in his heart.

If you want to cast a spiritual vein, you need a lot of spiritual pills.

Just by earning merit and exchanging it, I don't know how much time it will take to gather enough Casting Pills.

In comparison, it is undoubtedly more efficient to go to the spirit cave to hunt the earth spirit and collect spirit dust.

After flipping through the contents of the jade cylinder again, and making sure that there was nothing missing, Lin Shen put away the jade cylinder.

Just as he was about to pick up the storage ring, a thought flashed through his mind.

Casting spiritual veins is easy first and then difficult, in this case, can you first let the clones cast their own spiritual veins, and then fuse them into your own body?

You must know that there are seven doppelgangers, plus he is eight people, and as long as each person casts six spirit veins, it adds up to more than forty-five!
