Chapter 131 Huiji will hurt
As Lin Shen guessed, the next morning, Zhiwutang directly approached Jiuyang Daoyuan to ask about what happened last night.
Lin Shen didn't hide anything, and said that he was attacked.
Of course, he did not reveal the identity of Leng Guangting, but only said that he was an unknown person with high strength, and he escaped by luck.
The flag officer of the Martial Hall who questioned didn't say anything, and left straight away after the questioning.
Until walking out of the Nine Suns Daoist Academy, an accompanying member of the Martial Arts Hall could not help but say:
"My lord, this is too coincidental. Not long after Lin Shen was attacked, something happened to Leng Guangting. Is there any connection between the two?"
"maybe."
The flag officer frowned, and looked at the entrance of Jiuyang Taoist Temple behind his eyes.
"It's just that if the Mingqiao practitioner who attacked Lin Shen was really Leng Guangting, how did Lin Shen escape from his hands?"
The members of the Martial Arts Hall who raised the question froze for a moment, speechless.
Indeed, Leng Guangting's strength is obvious to all.
Even before taking the Blood Spirit Pill, Leng Guangting, who had a mysterious weapon in his hand, was a well-deserved leader among the many Mingqiao ninth-level powerhouses.
Although Lin Shen is a genius, after all, he has just been promoted to Mingqiao Realm, and no matter how he thinks about it, it is impossible to escape from Leng Guangting's clutches.
Could it be that someone else attacked Lin Shen?
The flag official continued: "Furthermore, although Leng Guangting was seriously injured when he escaped, it is impossible for Lin Shen to kill him alone, and he succeeded in such a short time. Practitioners on the sixth or seventh floor are not far behind!"
Everyone thinks it makes sense.
"It seems that Lin Shen should have nothing to do with this matter."
"Wouldn't that mean we have another case? We still have to find the murderer who attacked Lin Shen!"
"Oh, it seems that some people will be busy next time!"
"If you have time to complain, it's better to think about how to solve the matter. The adults were scolded **** by Hall Master Xia at the meeting last night. I think they will take their anger out on us later!"
Hearing the flag officer's words, the crowd suddenly wailed again and again.
When the people in charge of the martial arts hall left, Lin Shen suddenly thought of Xiao Ai.
The villa has been turned into ruins, and the little guy probably has nowhere to go now.
Sure enough, when he returned to the ruins of the villa, he saw Xiao Ai standing in the ruins blankly, looking like he was hit by a thunderbolt from the blue sky.
After seeing Lin Shen, he rushed forward with teary eyes.
After a lot of effort, Lin Shen comforted Xiao Ai and asked her to stay with Shen Jiangyue for a few days, and come back after buying a new residence.
Late at night, inside the wooden building of the Daoist Temple.
Lin Shen sat on the floor of the exercise room, looking at the void in front of him.
【Clone No. 1 (dead state), remaining resurrection time: 00:02:12】
Time passed by one minute and one second, and the moment it returned to zero, Lin Shen summoned the clone without hesitation.
As a result, when he took a closer look at the talent, his expression suddenly became extremely strange.
【Huiji will hurt: practice speed +200%, life span -80%】
Is this an advanced talent that Heaven is jealous of?
Lin Shen was a little bit dumbfounded, but immediately revealed a look of deep thought.
Practice speed +200%, this is undoubtedly a super talent!
It's twice as strong as Heaven's Jealousy!
Even if the side effect of -80% lifespan is a bit exaggerated, Lin Shen does not intend to give up.
"The lifespan of practitioners in the Mingqiao Realm can generally reach 170 to 80 years old. If you deduct 80%, you will be in your thirties."
Lin Shen nodded secretly.
Calculated in this way, the avatar still has a lifespan of more than ten years.
is not too small.
But in this way, this avatar can no longer be given natural treasures that will shorten lifespan.
Otherwise, it may not take a few months, and the clone will have to hang up.
Lin Shen is not willing to let the powerful BUFF of +200% cultivation speed be gone.
"It's better to let the clone with superior martial arts take it."
Among the current avatar talents, the martial arts talent is relatively the most replaceable. Even if it is gone, Lin Shen doesn't feel bad, and maybe he can change to a better talent.
"However, don't switch this talent casually. If you accidentally cheat yourself, you won't have a place to cry."
Lin Shen thought for a while, but still restrained himself from switching the Huiji will hurt talent.
After all, the operable space of this talent is too small, only 20% of the remaining lifespan, in case one's lifespan is not expected to be 170 or 80 years old, only 150 years old, or even lower, then use it, maybe One day I accidentally hung up.
Although the possibility is not high, Lin Shen still does not want to take risks.
Anyway, it's just a little slower in cultivation, it doesn't matter.
"Heaven is jealous of talents, and wisdom is bound to hurt. I wonder if there are any more exaggerated talents than these two?"
Thoughts scattered for a moment, Lin Shen put his mind back to practice.
In the following time, Lin Shen took the time to refine the Mofeng Inkstone, and successfully controlled this mysterious weapon.
After that, he went to the East District a few more times to find and buy a new house. After Xiao Ai moved in, he stayed in the monastery to concentrate on practicing and never went out.
One month flies by.
With the talent of Huiji Hurt, Lin Shen's cultivation progressed rapidly, and he was successfully promoted to the third level of Mingqiao in a month.
During this period, he also successfully mastered the four techniques of water mirror technique, wind control technique, palm thunder and paper figurine carrying technique.
At the same time, he also practiced the four palms and claws to perfection, pushing the realm of Melting Soldiers one step further.
【Name: Lin Shen】
【Talent: By analogy】
【Boundary: 18% of Mingqiao third floor】
【Cultivation methods: Nine Yang Heart Sutra (57% proficient), Soldiers Melting Hand (50% Taoism), Forbidden Golden Armor (10% Taoism), Yunlong Law (0% Taoism), Shenyang Nine Swords (0% Taoism).】
[Spells: Qijue Sword Qi (89% of the first floor), Lightning in the Palm (45% of the first floor), Paper Doll Carrying (23% of the first floor), Wind Control (16% of the first floor), Water Mirror Art (8% of the first layer)]
【The number of clones is 6 (97%)】
Looking at the data on the panel, Lin Shen nodded in satisfaction.
Melting Soldiers is only half the progress to break through the realm, which is only the Ten Perfection Realm Palm Technique and Claw Skills.
Based on his current martial arts cultivation speed, if he practiced with all his strength, he would be able to break through in about a month.
Of course, Lin Shen didn't intend to do this, the efficiency was too low.
In comparison, it is more efficient to prove the Dao by killing.
"Speaking of which, I haven't gone out to practice soon, and it's time to do the task, which can not only brush the talent effect of killing and proving the Tao, but also earn some meritorious deeds to exchange for Yangshen Pill."
Calm down, Lin Shen looked at the spell bar on the panel.
Because most of the energy is devoted to the improvement of cultivation base and martial arts, as well as practicing new techniques, the Qijue Sword Qi has not yet broken through to the second level.
But not far behind.
With the talent of proving the way by killing, maybe the effect can be triggered twice to break through the realm!
As for the four new spells, the water mirror technique and the wind control technique were only practiced by Lin Shen for the convenience of practicing in the wild, so after comprehending and mastering them, he didn't put too much energy into practicing them.
To describe it in four words, it means to practice according to fate.
As for palm thunder, although this technique is relatively basic, its power is not weak, and it can restrain evil spirits and ghosts. The key is that it does not consume much zhenqi.
When the opponent is not strong, it can be predicted that palm thunder will be Lin Shen's most commonly used technique when facing the enemy.
The name of the paper figurine transporting technique is very misleading. You may think it is a technique for moving objects just by looking at the fame, but it is actually a kind of talisman technique.
This technique is to cut the talisman paper into the shape of a paper man or a paper beast, as a guide, and then summon the paper soldiers for service and manipulation.
The so-called paper soldiers are actually similar to Fu Puppet.
It's just more convenient to make. It doesn't need a lot of materials like a talisman, just a piece of talisman paper.
However, in this way, the strength of the paper soldiers is a test of the skill of the caster.
The caster's skills are profound enough, and the paper soldiers produced are naturally powerful and powerful, and it is easy to kill monsters in the Tongxuan Realm.
But if the skill skills are too poor, the paper soldiers made will be difficult to deal with monsters in the spiritual realm.
All in all, this is a strange technique with an extremely low minimum, but an equally impressive upper limit.
Thinking of this, Lin Shen took out a piece of yellow talisman paper from the storage ring.
The talisman paper has been cut into a human shape, and it can be seen that the handwork is quite delicate.
This is the inspiration for performing the Paper Doll Carrying Technique.
There are quite a few similar things. These are all things that were originally placed in the storage ring of the Cold Light Court. They are all inspirations for performing various spells, and now they are all cheaper for Lin Shen.
Talisman paper is just an ordinary yellow talisman.
Like this kind of talisman paper, according to the level of production technology and the preciousness of materials, it can be divided into gold, silver, purple, blue, yellow and five grades from high to low.
Among them, the golden talisman made of gold thread paper is the highest, and the yellow talisman made of ordinary yellow paper is the least.
The level of the talisman paper will also affect the strength of the paper soldier, but it is not as obvious as the caster's skills.
Leng Guangting only has purple, blue and yellow three-color talisman paper in his collection.
Among them, there are only two or three purple symbols.
There are a little more blue symbols, about twenty or thirty.
After playing with the talisman paper a little, Lin Shen put it away, got up and left the practice room.
Today happens to be the three-monthly disciple level challenge.
Although there would be almost no prefecture-level disciples who couldn't think of challenging Lin Shen, a cultivator of the Ming Aperture Realm, there was no guarantee that there would be people who wanted to take advantage of the loopholes, so he came to the scene anyway.
Originally, Lin Shen was still thinking about challenging the disciples of the upper court, but after asking, he realized that he had to report at least two months in advance to challenge the disciples of the upper court.
After all, the disciples of the Upper Court are all busy with their affairs, and they often retreat for months or travel far away to practice. If they do not report in advance, it is easy to conflict with time.
On this point, the disciples of the upper court still have preferential treatment than the disciples of the lower court.
"Okay, wait until next time."
Lin Shen didn't care, so he reported to the police and pointed out that he would challenge Yan Jingren.
Then, before the disciple level challenge was over, the news spread like a hurricane throughout the monastery.
Nowadays, countless people in the Daoist Academy pay attention to any news that they have a relationship with Lin Shen, let alone such things as challenging the disciples of the Upper Academy.
Not surprisingly, this news caused quite a stir in the monastery.
This time the disciple level challenge is not over yet, many people are already looking forward to the disciple level challenge three months later.
"Hahaha, I knew that after breaking through the Mingqiao Realm, you would definitely challenge Yan Jingren, as I expected!"
Yang Zhongyi laughed and patted Lin Shen on the shoulder.
Seeing the excited appearance, those who didn't know thought he was going to challenge Yan Jingren.
It is worth mentioning that Yang Zhongyi originally accepted the task of repairing the Baihu Mountain Cave Mansion and collected materials in the Longyuan Mountains. He only came back temporarily for the challenge of the disciple level.
And this level challenge, he and Su Nian were also successfully promoted to Xuan level disciples.
"Lin Shen, I heard that you were assassinated last month?" Su Nian asked suddenly.
Yang Zhongyi was taken aback, his eyes widened in astonishment: "Is it true, Lao Lin?"
Lin Shen smiled slightly: "The matter is over."
The implication is that he admitted it.
"What about the identity of the assassin?"
"I am not sure as well."
"The Martial Arts Hall didn't catch the assassin?"
"It is said that it is still under investigation!"
"So I haven't found it yet." Yang Zhongyi frowned, "Old Lin, why don't you go out during this time and stay in the monastery."
Whoever dares to assassinate Lin Shen must be a cultivator in the Mingqiao Realm.
Being targeted by an assassin in the Aperture Realm, just thinking about it gives chills down the spine!
"Don't worry, I have a measure."
Seeing that Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian were waiting to talk, Lin Shen hurriedly interrupted.
Just kidding, others don’t know, how can he still not know, the so-called ‘assassin’ has long been separated from his head, and he can’t die anymore, it is impossible to assassinate him again.
"Have you all heard about Leng taking charge?" Lin Shen changed the subject.
Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian's attention was immediately drawn away.
"I heard about it." Su Nian said with emotion, "I didn't expect Leng Zhizhan to secretly refine the blood elixir. It's really unexpected."
Among the three present, the one who can understand the situation of Leng Guangting the most is undoubtedly Su Nian.
There are many similarities between Su Nian and the Leng family.
It was also one of the eighteen families a hundred years ago.
A hundred years later, today has also fallen into the ranks of cold books.
It's just different from the Leng family, the Su family has already given up the idea of returning to the Eighteenth Aristocratic Family because of something a few years ago, so they don't have such deep obsessions like Leng Guangting that they go astray.
Yang Zhongyi also sighed.
After the story of Leng Guangting spread, it caused a lot of trouble in the Taoist temple.
No one would have thought that this usually low-key executive would do so many outrageous things in secret.
Disciple level challenge the next day.
Lin Shen came to the Academy of Merit.
Behind the counter in the mission hall, Jiao Yu was on duty. Seeing Lin Shen, a bright smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Brother Lin, are you here to take up the task?"
Lin Shen smiled at the girl and nodded, then slowly inspected the shelf.
Looking at it, he was surprised to find that the number of tasks related to Longyuan Mountains was much less, and it seemed that there were not even half of the previous number.
Curious, Lin Shen came to the counter and asked Jiao Yu.
After listening, Jiao Yu explained:
"That's the aftermath of the war between Linlong City and the three great demon tribes."
"In that war, nearly 70% to 80% of the monsters on the outskirts of the Longyuan Mountain Range were killed, and they haven't recovered yet, so most of the related tasks have been lost."
"But Brother Lin, don't worry, it will take about half a year at most, and it should gradually recover."
Jiao Yu spoke very firmly.
The number of monsters is huge, and the low-level monsters are inexhaustible like weeds.
Often a bunch are killed, and a new batch will appear before long.
Because of the unique geographical environment of the Longyuan Mountains, the aura is stronger than other places, which is of great benefit to the growth of monsters.
Therefore, countless monsters migrate to the Longyuan Mountains every year, and then fight with other monsters in order to compete for territory.
More monsters die in turf battles every year than in the hands of human practitioners.
So don't look at the outskirts of the Longyuan Mountains where there are only a few monsters, it won't be long before it will return to the previous situation where the beasts are full.
After listening to Jiao Yu's words, Lin Shen suddenly realized, and then fell into deep thought.
The monsters in the Longyuan Mountains have all been killed, so there is no way to brush the talent of killing and proving the Tao. Where should I go now?
Seeing Lin Shen's distress, Jiao Yu thought for a while and said:
"Brother Lin, if you don't know what task to take, I have a suggestion."
Lin Shen looked up in surprise, and asked curiously, "What suggestion?"
Jiao Yu took out a piece of parchment and handed it to Lin Shen.
"Senior brother Lin can take a look at this."
Lin Shen took a look, his eyes gradually lit up.
What is recorded on the parchment is a task.
According to the description, in Xiyan Daze to the west of Linlong City, there is a creature called Iron Bone Fish.
This creature is shaped like a carp, with dark black bones, which is very suitable for forging into weapons.
A small amount of black iron bones can increase the forging efficiency of magic weapon blades by 20%, the value of which is self-evident.
The content of the task is to collect this kind of black iron bones, and the reward for every five taels is one middle skill.
Lin Shen doesn't care much about meritorious deeds.
This kind of iron bone fish is not considered a monster, and it is hardly threatening.
The key is that the meat of the iron bone fish is delicious, and eating it can increase the physical strength of the monsters, so it is extremely coveted by the monsters.
Where there are iron fish in the lake, there must be one or more monster tribes around.
And on this piece of parchment, there are many lakes where iron bone fish live.
In other words, as long as you get near these lakes, you will definitely encounter a large number of monsters.
Lin Shen suddenly smiled, nodded at Jiao Yu and said with a smile, "Thank you for your suggestion, Junior Sister, this task is very suitable for me!"
"It would be great if I could help senior brother!" Jiao Yu said with a smile, and quickly helped Lin Shen register.
Taking advantage of Jiao Yu's registration, Lin Shen pretended to be casual and said: "By the way, I heard someone say a few days ago that on the Nine Suns Talisman Sword, there seems to be a magic weapon with similar power but even more powerful. have you heard of it?"
Jiao Yu didn't suspect him, so he responded casually: "Brother is talking about the Chunyang Talisman Sword, right?"
Lin Shen's heart moved, he pretended to be puzzled and said, "Pure Yang Talisman Sword?"
"Pure Yang Talisman Sword is also a magic weapon, but its quality is far higher than that of the Nine Sun Talisman Sword. It is said that it is only one line worse than a mysterious weapon. It is roughly equivalent to the gap between a magic weapon and a talisman weapon."
The quality is higher than the Nine Suns Talisman Sword, a high-grade magic weapon, but it has not yet reached the level of a mysterious weapon, so what is it?
Exquisite magic weapon?
Lin Shen muttered to himself, but kept his face calm, and continued to ask:
"Why haven't I seen the Pure Yang Talisman Sword in the Academy of Merit?"
"That's because the Academy of Meritorious Service exchanged it with foreign countries, and at most it was only a top-grade magic weapon, so the Pure Yang Talisman Sword is not included in the exchange."
Seeing that Lin Shen seemed very interested, Jiao Yu said a few more words.
"However, I heard that in the past, some disciples of the upper court spent a lot of meritorious service in exchange for multiple Nine Suns Talisman Swords, and then obtained the method of melting from the master, and then tempered and fused the Nine Suns Talisman Swords step by step, and then erased impurities to return to pure Yang, and finally get the Pure Yang Talisman Sword!"
"Relying on that pure yang talisman sword, that disciple of the upper court is said to have become the head of the top ten disciples of the upper court!"
Lin Shen no longer cares about the last sentence.
He already knew it in his heart, obviously the one in the storage ring should be the Pure Yang Talisman Sword.
Leng Guangting is in charge, it is not difficult to forge such a pure Yang magic sword.
Thinking that it was a powerful magic weapon second only to the mysterious weapon, Lin Shen was pleasantly surprised.
Mofeng inkstone, pure yang talisman sword, the two magic weapons, one defends and the other attacks, complement each other, and the improvement of his combat power is simply not too great!
