Fuzhou Island.

Located in a wooden building on the west side of the island.

Han Liang opened his eyes from his cultivation and took a deep breath, the refreshing fragrance between his noses still lingered.

"The effect of Zhu Disan in Muzu City is really good, with this Zhu Disan to assist in cultivation, it won't be long before I can break through to the ninth layer of the Ming Aperture!"

Thinking of this, the corners of Han Liang's mouth couldn't help but smile.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, followed by the door slamming open, and no one rushed into the room without knocking.

"I'm!"

Kuang Hai strode to the table in the center of the room and sat down, slamming the table hard, his face full of anger.

Han Liang frowned slightly, and then a touch of helplessness flashed in his eyes, got up and came to the table, and sat down with him.

"It's so angry, what's going on?"

"What else could be the matter?" Kuang Hai gritted his teeth and said, "It's not that Lin Shen from Jiuyang Dao Academy, he first cut off the Xuanhua liquid I wanted from Elder Ji, and now he has come to rob my Xuandu Order!" ”

"Xuandu Ling was intercepted?" Han Liang looked surprised.

The corners of Kuang Hai's eyes twitched, and he said in annoyance: "Elder Ji personally opened his mouth, asked for the Xuandu Order that was originally scheduled for me, and gave it to that Lin Shen of Jiuyang Dao Academy!" ”

Han Liang groaned slightly, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

"I heard that Lin Shen had begun to condense the spiritual vein, and it was when he needed Xuanhua liquid, I thought about where I learned about the Xuandu Conference, so I asked Elder Ji for the Xuandu Order, he has made a lot of contributions in the spirit cave, and Elder Ji will definitely not refuse his request!"

As soon as these words came out, Kuang Hai became more and more annoyed.

"That Lin Shen has already obtained eight drops of Xuanhua liquid from Elder Ji, even if it is more than enough to condense the second-grade spiritual vein, and he still robbed me of the Xuandu Order, could it be that he wants to condense the first-grade spiritual vein? I think he's clearly targeting me! ”

Han Liang was speechless for a while, and secretly slandered, Lin Shen is a disciple of Jiuyang Dao Academy, he has never been to the mountain gate, it is estimated that he has never even seen what you look like, how can he say anything to you?

Kuang Hai glanced at Han Liang, as if he had guessed his thoughts, and snorted coldly:

"Don't think I'm talking nonsense, it's not like you don't know, the elders of the Xuanguang period of the master-apprentice lineage have recently expressed their intention to accept Lin Shen as an apprentice, I think they are planning to cultivate Lin Shen as the backbone of the master-apprentice lineage, so as to fight against our family!"

"And Elder Ji is also in the same vein as master and apprentice, so it is estimated that he has received a hint, so he will favor Lin Shen, otherwise how could he give Lin Shen a full eight drops of Xuanhua liquid?"

"But how did I hear that it was Lin Shen who severely injured a Blood Sea Sect cultivator, allowing Elder Ji to kill the other party, and those eight drops of Xuanhua liquid were Elder Ji's reward to Lin Shen?" Han Liang hesitated.

"Whew!"

Kuang Hai's face was full of contempt, and his disdain was overflowing.

Do you believe that? How could a Enlightenment Realm inflict heavy damage on a monk? He is very good at being able to save his life under the hands of a monk! ”

"In my opinion, Elder Ji is clearly building momentum for Lin Shen, so that a few Xuanguang Stage elders have a reason to accept him as an apprentice!"

When Kuang Hai said this, Han Liang was suddenly a little shaken.

In fact, when he first heard about it, his first reaction was not to believe it.

After all, this kind of thing sounds so mysterious!

Compared with such an outrageous thing, Kuang Hai's speculation, although a bit far-fetched, is more convincing.

"So, is it true that those elders want to take Lin Shen as a disciple?" Han Liang's brows tightened.

Kuang Hai snorted coldly: "I can't care if they want to accept Lin Shen as an apprentice, but Lin Shenqian shouldn't be, shouldn't covet my Xuandu Order, I won't just forget this matter!" ”

Han Liang glanced at him, knowing why he was so angry.

Kuang Hai had been stagnant for nearly a year in the casting of spiritual veins, and it took great difficulty to condense twenty-six spiritual veins, and he was only one step away from casting a third-grade spiritual vein.

But at this time, it encountered a bottleneck.

After taking more than ten spirit pills in a row, he couldn't condense the twenty-seventh spirit vein and take the most critical step.

was so anxious that his heart was on fire, and his whole temperament was a lot more irritable.

And just recently, he didn't know where he heard that if he used Xuanhua liquid to condense the spiritual vein, it was definitely possible to break through the bottleneck.

So he spent a lot of money to get some up and down, and finally asked for a Xuandu Order.

Who would have thought that he would be cut off by Lin Shen halfway!

In other words, anyone who encounters this kind of thing will be so angry that their heads will smoke, let alone Kuang Hai, who has become more and more irritable recently.

He didn't go directly to Lin Shen to do it, and it was already calculated.

Just thinking like this, Kuang Hai's voice suddenly sounded in Han Liang's ears.

"No, I still can't bear this breath, I'll go to Lin Shen now and have a gambling fight with him!"

In the Jiuyang Sect, disciples are encouraged to compete with each other and set their own bets, which is known as gambling disputes.

Not to mention that the winner can get bets such as pills and magic weapons, he can also make a name for himself in the sect.

For this reason, this method of learning is quite popular among disciples.

It's just that gambling disputes have always occurred between formal disciples, but there has never been a precedent for formal disciples to gamble with Taoist disciples.

This has to be preached, and if you don't talk about winning or losing, your reputation will not be good.

However, Kuang Hai, who was carried away by anger, obviously couldn't care about this, and made up his mind to leave immediately.

Seeing this, Han Liang hurriedly stopped him, and said hurriedly: "Lin Shen is in the Jiuyang Dao Courtyard right now, you don't have the Dao Courtyard Talisman, how can you get in?" ”

Kuang Hai paused, but he snorted coldly.

"There is still half a month to go before the Xuandu Conference, it will take ten days to walk from Muzu City, if Lin Shen wants to catch up with the Xuandu Conference, most of the time he will set off in these two days, I will go directly to the north gate and wait for him!"

The words fell, and without waiting for Han Liang to say more, he slammed the door directly.

Han Liang froze in place, and it took a while before he came back to his senses, and rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.

To be honest, if he could, he just wanted to cultivate with peace of mind, and he didn't want to get involved in the power struggle of the sect, and he didn't approve of Kuang Hai's behavior.

If Lin Shen is really a genius in the same line as the master and apprentice, then Kuang Haimao rashly went to him to gamble, win or lose, in case Lin Shen is seriously injured, it is very likely to cause the dissatisfaction of the master and apprentice, and the consequences are unpredictable.

"Kuang Hai has condensed twenty-six spiritual veins, looking at the sect's inner disciples, his cultivation is enough to rank in the top ten, and Lin Shen."

Han Liang's heart was stunned and hesitated slightly.

"Even if Lin Shen's serious injury to the disciples of the Blood Sea Sect is a lie, his strength should not be much worse, even if he is not as good as Kuang Hai, he will not lose too badly."

Han Liang sighed.

So far, he can only comfort himself like this.

Jiuyang Provincial Temple, Upper Hospital.

Inside the practice room.

Looking at the doppelganger in front of him, Lin Shen nodded with satisfaction.

After exhausting all the Casting Pills, the number of spirit veins that touched the bypass clones finally increased to fourteen.

What's more, so far, there has been no sign of a bottleneck.

According to this trend, it should not be a problem for the Touch Bypass Clone to condense eighteen spiritual veins.

If you're lucky, you might be able to reach more than 20!

Lin Shen was full of joy.

"The next thing is to go to Muzu City to participate in the Xuandu Conference and collect Xuanhua liquid!"

"Calculate the time, it's time to leave today."

Lin Shen was not like Xie Jingsheng, who could borrow the Dragon Tooth Flying Boat from his own master.

If he wanted to go to Muzu City, he could only take the Flying Demon Beast.

For this reason, Lin Shen exchanged for a flying crane at the Meritorious Service House early.

At the speed of Feihe, it will take ten days to go from Linlong City to Muzu City if it goes well.

At this time, there is only half a month left before the Xuandu Conference, and it is time to leave.

There are all kinds of materials prepared in the storage ring all year round, and Lin Shen doesn't need to prepare, he can leave directly.

It's just that before leaving, he plans to go back to the East End.

After all, I haven't seen Xiao Ai for three or four months.

It is estimated that it will take a month or two to leave this time, and I still have to talk to the little guy first.

Leaving Jiuyang Daoyuan, Lin Shen returned to his residence in the Eastern District.

Before he walked into the door, he sensed three breaths of the house.

"One is Xiao Ai's breath, and the remaining two are Shen Jiangyue's cat demon?"

Lin Shen pushed open the door and walked in, came to the living room to take a look, and sure enough, in addition to Xiao Ai, Tang Yue and Tang Mei were also there.

"Lin Shen!"

Hearing the movement of the door opening, Xiao Ai turned his head to look, and a surprise light appeared in his pupils, and he jumped directly from the sofa and pounced on Lin Shen.

"You're back!"

Lin Shen caught Xiao Ai with a smile, and was about to speak, his expression moved, he looked Xiao Ai up and down a few times, and said in surprise:

"Little guy, have you broken through to the Mystery Realm?"

"That's right." Xiao Ai raised his head triumphantly, "I just broke through half a month ago." ”

Lin Shen was suddenly amazed.

As far as the demon clan is concerned, the little guy's cultivation speed is simply unbelievably fast!

Put it in the demon clan, and he is another one who is properly hanging!

At this rate, I'm afraid it won't take a year or two for the little guy to survive the human calamity and achieve demon cultivation!

It seems that General Cat was right at the beginning, the little guy is estimated to have some kind of strange bloodline flowing from his body, otherwise the normal demon clan's cultivation improvement speed would not be so amazing!

Lin Shen nodded secretly.

Xiao Ai's strength is progressing rapidly, which is naturally a good thing for him.

In the future, he may be able to help more than one person.

The thought in his mind flashed, but Lin Shen remained silent, touched Xiao Ai's head, comforted the little guy a few words, and then looked at Tang Yue and Tang Mei.

Since Lin Shen came in, the two girls subconsciously got up immediately, but they didn't speak, just stood in the distance and watched him talk to Xiao Ai, looking restrained with the naked eye.

In fact, I don't blame the two girls, it's really Lin Shen who is different from the past.

Compared with when they met more than half a year ago, his strength cultivation has increased several times.

Not to mention the promotion to the ninth layer, forty-five spiritual veins have been condensed, and they are only one foot away from the monk.

Even though he didn't deliberately release the coercion and qi, the unique keen intuition of the demon clan still made Tang Yue and Tang Mei feel a palpitating sense of oppression from him, and they didn't dare to be presumptuous subconsciously.

Even Tang Mei, who was the most lively and active in the past, will become restrained.

Sensing the strangeness of the two women, Lin Shen did not reveal it, and said with a slight smile: "You have worked hard to take care of Xiao Ai during this time." ”

"It's not hard, it's not hard." Tang Yue hurriedly waved his hand, glanced at Xiao Ai, pursed his lips and smiled, "On the contrary, Xiao Ai helped us a lot." ”

"Oh?" Lin Shen looked at Xiao Ai who was shrunk in his arms in surprise.

The little guy immediately raised his head and said triumphantly: "I've cleaned up a lot of bad guys recently!" ”

Lin Shen immediately understood.

The little guy who dared to love recently followed Shen Jiangyue to rescue his fellow clan.

Considering that the people who will attack the spirit cat, except for the special situation of the wild wolf, most of the cultivation will not be too high, at best, they will only be in the long-term rest realm, and they will not pose a threat to Xiao Ai, who is already in the Xuan Realm, Lin Shen didn't say much, but just shook his head.

Immediately, he glanced at Tang Mei, who had been silent, and showed a look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"You used to be very lively, and you kept catching me asking questions, why did you meet such a lady today?"

Tang Mei's face suddenly turned red.

was teased by Lin Shen, but she was not so restrained, and simply made a playful grimace at Lin Shen.

"I've always been a lady, okay!"

Lin Shen laughed, and when he saw that Tang Mei's face was getting redder and redder, he stopped teasing her and turned to business.

"I'm going to go out of the city next, I leave today, I may not be back in a month or two, Xiao Ai has to trouble you to take care of it for a while."

"Ah, you're going out of the city again?" Xiao Ai grabbed the clothes on his chest and showed a reluctant expression.

"There's something very important to do, but don't worry, there won't be any danger."

Lin Shen touched the little guy's head, comforted him, and then looked at Tang Yue and Tang Mei.

"Xiao Ai, please leave it to you."

Tang Yue immediately bowed his head and agreed.

To tell the truth, they can't wait to agree to this kind of good thing.

Although Xiao Ai is simple, her strength is more powerful than all of their cat demons in Shen Jiangyue, and one can stand up to all of them.

During this time, Xiao Ai was there, and their operation to rescue their fellow clansmen was not much smoother than before.

If it weren't for Lin Shen's thoughts, they would all want to persuade Xiao Ai to join Shen Jiangyue.

It's not so much that they are taking care of Xiao Ai, but that Xiao Ai is helping them.

It was not early, after appeasing Xiao Ai, Lin Shen did not delay any longer, and turned around and left in the reluctant gaze of the little guy.

Seeing Lin Shen's figure disappear at the door, Tang Yue turned his head sideways and saw that Xiao Ai was still stunned, so he stepped forward to pick her up and comforted her softly.

"Don't worry, Lord Lin Shen will definitely be fine, and he also said that he will be back in a month or two."

Tang Mei nodded, and then said, "Xiao Ai, if you're worried, you can get through the human tribulation as soon as possible, turn into a human form, and then you can follow Lord Lin Shen around." ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Xiao Ai's eyes lit up immediately.

That's right, Lin Shen didn't take her because her cultivation was too low.

Then you just need to get stronger!

That's right, that's it!

Xiao Ai nodded secretly, and decided to work harder to cultivate in the future and survive the human tribulation as soon as possible!

Leaving the residence, Lin Shen rushed straight to the north gate.

Muzu City is located in the north of Linlong City, on the other side of the Longyuan Mountain Range.

If you want to go to Muzu City, you will have to pass through the depths of the Longyuan Mountains on the way.

In order to avoid going too deep and bumping into the demon monks, it is also necessary to avoid the depths of the Longyuan Mountain Range and make a circle from the outside.

The Longyuan Mountain Range stretches for tens of thousands of miles, and this long journey alone will take three or four more days.

All the way to the north gate, take out the talisman and go out of the city, Lin Shen just wanted to summon the flying crane to set off, and a similar voice suddenly came from his ears.

"Senior Brother Lin!"

Lin Shen followed the prestige, and saw two young men walking towards him with a smile on their faces.

One of them was Shen Zening, whom he had seen when he was besieging and killing the children of the Yan family!

"Senior Brother Shen, why are you here?"

Halfway through the words, Lin Shen reacted violently.

"Senior Brother Shen is also going to Muzu City to participate in the Xuandu Conference?"

"Exactly."

Shen Zening smiled gently.

"I heard that Senior Brother Lin is also going, so I will wait here, Senior Brother Lin doesn't mind walking with us, right?"

Lin Shen smiled and said, "I am naturally very happy to be with Senior Brother Shen. ”

Shen Zening smiled excessively, patted his head suddenly, and introduced the young man next to Lin Shen.

"Look at my memory, I almost forgot to introduce you, this is Senior Brother Qu Kequ, a disciple of the inner sect of the sect, and like us, he is going to Muzu City to participate in the Xuandu Conference."

Si Yuanpei once said that there are three Xuandu Orders.

So when he heard Shen Zening say that he was going to attend the Xuandu Conference, Lin Shen had already guessed that most of the other people in the same company were the same, and he was not surprised when he heard this, and arched his hand towards Qu Ke with a smile.

"Senior Brother Qu!"

Qu Ke returned the salute with a gentle expression.

"Senior Brother Lin has admired his name for a long time, I have long wanted to meet the rumored genius of the Taoist Academy, and the blessing of Senior Brother Tuoshen can finally be seen today."

When Lin Shen heard this, he knew that Qu Ke was talking about the heavy damage to Wu Ji and the Xuanguang Period Elder in the Spirit Cave, so he hurriedly humbled a few words.

"Okay, don't say polite words."

Shen Zening interrupted the two with a smile.

"It's not early, it's time for us to go, this way, we have to be together for more than ten days, and you have time to chat."

Lin Shen and Qu Ke looked at each other and smiled, and they all bowed their heads.

Shen Zening, as the chief of the top ten disciples of the upper court, although he was born as a commoner, there is no lack of support from the big figures of the sect behind him, and his wealth is not inferior to that of the children of the family.

With a wave of his sleeves, the void in front of him suddenly darkened, and a dragon tooth flying boat had appeared in front of the three of them out of thin air.

"With this dragon tooth flying boat here, it seems that we can arrive at Muzu City a few days early." Quk laughed.

The speed of the Dragon Tooth Flying Boat is amazing, far beyond that of ordinary flying demon beasts, and it is safer, enough to easily resist the attacks of demon clans below the demon cultivators.

With the Dragon's Tooth Flying Boat here, although it is still necessary to take a long detour to avoid the depths of the Longyuan Mountain Range, the time consumed on the journey can be greatly reduced.

What was originally a journey of about ten days is now estimated to be reached in eight days at most.

"Please, both!" Shen Zening pulled his hand.

Lin Shen and Qu Ke were about to board the Dragon's Tooth Flying Boat.

But at this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the distance.

"Wait!"

The three of them looked back in amazement, and saw a figure flying from far and near, and after a short time, they came to the front and fell in front of the three of them violently.

The visitor swept his gaze, first on Qu Ke, seemed to recognize him, glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze, and turned to look at Shen Zening and Lin Shen, his chin slightly raised, with an arrogant appearance.

"Who is Lin Shen of the two of you?"
