Chapter 142 True disciples and secrets
The more Lin Shen thought about it, the more excited he became.
If this conjecture is feasible, the difficulty for other practitioners to forge a first-grade spiritual vein is the difficulty for him to forge six spiritual veins!
Possibly even lower!
He can also make the avatar merge into the main body every time he successfully creates a spiritual vein, and then create the avatar again.
In this way, the avatar is equivalent to casting the first spiritual vein every time.
Thinking of this, Lin Shen couldn't help feeling hot in his heart.
If he succeeds, he might be able to achieve the rumored first-grade spiritual vein without spending much effort and time!
"Worth a try!"
Lin Shen quickly made a decision to give it a try as soon as he was promoted to the ninth level of Mingqiao.
"Let's see what's in the storage ring first."
Lin Shen picked up the storage ring and began to check the contents.
Unexpectedly, he actually saw a familiar blue tablet inside.
It is the mysterious weapon that Yan Jingren once used!
In addition, there is a top-grade defensive magic weapon and a top-grade magic sword in the storage ring, both of which are magic weapons obtained from Yan Jingren.
"Is this what you mean by returning the spoils to me?" Lin Shen smiled slightly.
The two top-grade magic weapons are nothing more than that. He already has the Zhenyun Yi and the Chunyang Talisman Sword, as well as the Nine Sun Talisman Sword. These two magic weapons are not used at all on weekdays and can only be used as spares.
As for the Pingling Monument, Lin Shenzao was quite jealous when he fought Yan Jingren.
Although he already has Mofeng Inkstone, no practitioner would have too many magic weapons of this level.
What's more, Mofeng inkstone and Pingling stele are no more offensive magic weapons than robes and talisman swords. As long as the true energy is enough, they can be manipulated by envoys at the same time. Naturally, the more the better.
While he was overjoyed, Lin Shen suddenly noticed a mass of cloth-like thing beside the Pingling Monument, and when he took it out, he found that it was actually a long robe.
There are warp and weft patterns on the surface of the long robe, which feels as smooth as water and is not stained with dust. When you pinch it with your hands, it will return to its original shape when you loosen it, without the slightest wrinkle.
"This is."
Lin Shen's eyes lit up, and he quickly gathered his soul to touch the robe, and some information instantly appeared in his mind.
"Sure enough, it's also a mysterious weapon!" Lin Shen's expression brightened.
For magic treasures of profound weapon quality and above, most of them will be infused with a trace of spiritual thought by the refiner during refining, which contains the name, power and usage method of this mysterious weapon.
Practitioners can know information about mysterious weapons as long as they use the Soul Probe.
Magical artifacts do not have this kind of treatment.
The robe in Lin Shen's hand is a mysterious vestment called the Heavenly Star Robe.
Obviously, compared to the spoils he deserved before, this Heavenly Star Robe is the real reward given to him by the sect.
Recovering from the joy, Lin Shen threw up the huddled Heavenly Star Robe.
The robe stretched out immediately, and turned into a black Taoist robe that was displayed in the air. There were longitude and latitude lines on the robe, the sun, the moon, and the stars, faintly hiding the way of the operation of the heavenly secret.
A moment later, the star robe was retracted, and it fell on Lin Shen, wrapping his body.
Lin Shen stretched his hands and feet, and found that the size of the robe fit him perfectly.
This is to be expected.
Even low-grade magic-quality tunics have the ability to change their appearance and size at will, let alone magic-quality robes.
Lin Shen couldn't help nodding his head in satisfaction. With this treasured clothing for body protection, coupled with the Golden Armor of the True Martial Realm Forbidden, no one in the Mingqiao Realm would be able to hurt him.
After calming down, Lin Shen continued to check other things.
In addition to magic weapons, there are many pills in the storage ring.
Among them, there is a reward for killing Yan Jingren - three golden pills!
"That's right, these three golden marrow pills are enough for me to break through to the seventh level of Mingqiao!"
Happiness appeared in Lin Shen's eyes.
Jin Sui Pill can allow practitioners to enter the strange state of splitting mind and soul within three days after taking the pill, and the gradual growth of spiritual consciousness, and feel the realm of monks early.
Cultivating in this state, the improvement of cultivation level can be called rapid progress!
One day is worth months!
After breaking through to the sixth level of Mingqiao, the Yangshen Pill had little effect on Lin Shen, and the appearance of Jinsui Pill was very timely.
In addition to Jinsui Pill, there is also a bottle of elixir in the storage ring.
Lin Shen took it out and took a look. The name mark on the porcelain bottle was obviously the Casting Spirit Pill that he was still thinking about just now.
Opened the cork and counted it again, there are twelve casting pills!
"It's really a pillow when you are sleepy!"
Lin Shen smiled.
Right now, I have the Spirit Casting Pill, and the next step is to promote to the ninth level of Mingqiao!
Thinking of this, Lin Shen immediately took out a golden marrow pill, put it in his mouth and swallowed it with his head raised.
As the power of the medicine dissipated, he suddenly felt that the whole person's spirit was much clearer, and the whole world suddenly became different, with a clearer feeling than before.
At the same time, his perception became much sharper.
Even if you close your eyes, you can clearly 'see' the surrounding situation.
Even with the slight movement of his mind, this perception instantly passed through the wall, spread to the outside, and spread rapidly in all directions.
In an instant, everything in the entire courtyard was reflected in his mind.
Lin Shen understood in his heart that this should be the so-called spiritual consciousness.
Jin Sui Pill’s so-called ability to allow users to experience the realm of monks is actually to strengthen the soul and make it differentiate into spiritual consciousness in a short period of time.
Strictly speaking, it is only part of the monk realm.
But even so, it is still an extremely powerful effect for practitioners in the Mingqiao Realm!
At this moment, Lin Shen could clearly feel the rich aura free in the surrounding air.
With the slight movement of his thoughts, the invisible spiritual consciousness pervading around his body instantly turned into vortices one by one, absorbing the free spiritual energy in the air into his body frantically.
The speed is more than ten times faster than when I was practicing the Nine Yang Heart Sutra before, I could only passively accept the spiritual infiltration!
The feeling of spiritual energy rushing into his body was extremely refreshing, and Lin Shen was completely obsessed with the rapid improvement of his cultivation base.
Nine days later.
Lin Shen took all the three golden marrow pills.
And his cultivation has broken through to the seventh level of Mingqiao as he wished!
【Name: Lin Shen】
【Talent: By analogy】
【Boundary: 23% of Mingqiao Seventh Floor】
【Cultivation methods: Nine Yang Heart Sutra (Consummation), Soldiers Melting Hand (Zhenwu), Forbidden Golden Armor (Zhenwu), Yunlong Law (45% of Taoism), Shenyang Nine Swords (35% of Taoism).】
[Spells: Qijue Sword Qi (78% of the fourth floor), Lightning in the Palm (34% of the fourth floor), Paper Doll Carrying Technique (67% of the third floor), Fixed Body Curse (20% of the third floor), Yu Wind Art (48% on the third floor), Water Mirror Art (47% on the first floor)]
【The number of clones is 7 (20%)】
"Finally broke through, and the Nine Suns Heart Sutra has also reached perfection."
"It's a pity that there are only three golden marrow pills. If there are more than ten more, maybe I can directly break through to the ninth floor of Mingqiao!"
Looking at the panel in the void, Lin Shen thought with some regret.
But he also knew that this idea was a bit too greedy.
Golden Sudden Pill is so precious, Jiang Hao and Xie Jingsheng competed and learned from each other, the reason was just a Golden Sudden Pill.
This time he was able to get three Golden Sudden Pills, which was a reward specially set by the Taoist Academy to sharpen the disciples.
This kind of thing is rare.
"The next thing is to see when I can enter the spiritual acupoint."
Promoted to the seventh level of Mingqiao, the Yangshen Pill has no effect on Lin Shen.
The Golden Sudden Pill has been used up again.
Next, if you want to improve your cultivation, you can only rely on hard work.
Even if Lin Shen has seven avatars, it will take at least several months to reach 100% progress on the ninth level of Mingqiao.
But if he could enter the spiritual cave to practice, he might be able to achieve his goal within a month.
"There are also Yunlonglu and Shenyang Nine Swords, and we must cultivate to the real martial arts state as soon as possible!"
Lin Shen made some estimates.
Yunlonglu is still short of eleven perfect state body skills and light kung fu.
Based on his current cultivation speed, if he focuses on martial arts with all his strength, he will be able to cultivate two martial arts to the real martial arts level in about a month.
And mastering two more martial arts at the real martial arts level, his strength can be increased by at least 10 to 20 percent, and he will be more confident in entering the spiritual cave to hunt the earth soul.
You must know that spirits like dipo are not weak—in fact, even spirits living in places with strong aura are not weak—the weakest dipo is no worse than the monsters in the Tongxuan realm in terms of strength!
After a while, Lin Shen dispelled distracting thoughts, calmed down and prepared to continue practicing, when suddenly his heart moved.
Through the talisman, he sensed that someone was visiting outside at this time.
Lin Shen immediately stood up, left the practice room and went outside the courtyard. With a wave of his hand, the door was immediately opened, and he saw Xie Jingsheng standing at the door with a smile.
"Thank you, brother."
Xie Jingsheng looked him up and down a few times, smiling deeply.
"Congratulations to Junior Brother Lin for improving his cultivation to a higher level!"
Xie Jingsheng knew that Lin Shen had obtained three golden marrow pills, so he was not surprised that he broke through again in just nine days, but he couldn't help but feel more and more sighed in his heart. In just over a year since Lin Shen entered the Taoist monastery, his cultivation level has already kept pace with him. This qualification is really beyond compare!
Thank you, Lin Shen welcomed Xie Jingsheng in, and then asked him why he came.
"I came here this time to tell you that the sect has sent people to investigate the spiritual acupoints to make sure that there are no omissions. Therefore, it will be officially opened to the disciples of the sect from today, and they will enter in batches."
"And among the first batch of disciples to enter the spiritual acupoint, there are you and me!"
Lin Shen beamed with joy when he heard the words.
He thought he would have to wait a month or two, but he didn't expect to be able to enter the spiritual cave so soon.
"When?" Lin Shen asked hastily.
"Just five days later." Xie Jingsheng said, "There are also two junior brothers, Mu and Fu, and ten heavenly disciples from the Lower Court."
Mr. Mu in Xie Jingsheng's mouth refers to Mu Chuanhua.
As for the other junior brother Fu, Lin Shen guessed that if nothing else happened, it should be Fu Weifang, who is also a disciple of the Upper Court.
But only four upper court disciples had the quota to enter the spiritual acupoint, which made Lin Shen a little surprised.
"Brother Shen and the others?"
Xie Jingsheng understood Lin Shen's meaning, and explained: "Others have miscellaneous things, as for Senior Brother Shen"
Speaking of this, Xie Jingsheng paused, envy and admiration flashed in his eyes.
"Senior brother Shen has started retreat five days ago, ready to forge spiritual veins!"
Lin Shen was taken aback.
When Shen Zening easily repelled the Pingling Monument and rescued Jiang Hao from Yan Jingren's men, he guessed that Shen Zening's cultivation must be extremely high, but he didn't expect that he was already at the ninth level of Mingqiao, and had reached the state where he could forge spiritual veins.
This level of strength is already far superior to other upper court disciples!
After all, before Lin Shen was promoted to the Upper Court, Xie Jingsheng, who ranked second in cultivation, was only at the sixth level of Mingqiao, which was three realms lower than Shen Zening.
From this point of view, Shen Zening and other upper court disciples are completely on two levels!
"With Senior Brother Shen's aptitude, at worst, he can create a third-rank spiritual vein, and even a second-rank spiritual vein is not out of the question!"
Xie Jingsheng's face was full of undisguised envy.
"Senior brother Shen will leave the monastery in about half a year. If he can become a monk before then, he will be a true disciple after officially joining the sect, and he can reach the sky in one step!"
"True disciple?" Lin Shen looked puzzled.
Xie Jingsheng patted his forehead, and then remembered that Lin Shen's background probably didn't know these things, so he patiently explained:
"When you entered the Taoist Academy, you should have heard of the rules of the Taoist Academy to eliminate disciples, right?"
Lin Shen nodded.
Of course he had heard of it, and it was Yang Zhongyi who told him.
Jiuyang Daoist Academy will eliminate fifty disciples with the lowest cultivation base every year.
In fact, not long ago, the Daoist Academy eliminated fifty people.
"Most of the disciples who are eliminated from the Taoist academy will become outer disciples of the sect, and this is also the lowest level disciple of the sect. On top of this, there are inner disciples and true disciples!"
Xie Jingsheng came slowly.
"Any disciple who can stay in Jiuyang Daoyuan for five years can join the sect after graduation, become an inner disciple, enjoy more resources than outer disciples, and learn more powerful exercises!"
"Further up, if you can become a monk within five years, you can immediately graduate from the Taoist academy and become a true disciple of the sect. You will receive a large number of elixir classics from the sect. If you accept him as an apprentice, you can almost look down upon his peers in the generation of disciples of the sect!"
Xie Jingsheng's tone was full of longing.
Lin Shen couldn't help asking curiously: "So far, how many people from the Taoist Academy have become true disciples as soon as they graduate?"
"It's very rare." Xie Jingsheng replied without thinking, "Since the establishment of Jiuyang Daoyuan, there are only three people who can become monks within five years. The most recent one was three years ago."
three years ago?
Lin Shen suddenly remembered a name.
Since entering the monastery, he has heard the name many times.
Before him, this person was the first person to win the chief position as a student of Hanpu.
He even set a record of breaking through the Long Rest Realm two months after entering the Daoist Academy, which remained unbroken for five full years until his arrival.
Lin Shen often heard some disciples compare him with that person.
"Brother Xie, could it be Su Liuying you're talking about?"
"Have you heard of Su Liuying?"
Xie Jingsheng glanced at Lin Shen in surprise, but then thought of something, and immediately felt relieved.
"That's right, Su Liuying is the third disciple who graduated from the Taoist Academy as a monk and became a true disciple since the establishment of the Taoist Academy. At the same time, he is also the disciple who took the shortest time to be promoted to a monk. It only took less than four years. !"
"What's more, what she forged is an extremely rare second-grade spiritual vein! It can be said to be a rare and rare peerless one in a hundred years"
Speaking of this, Xie Jingsheng suddenly stopped and reacted abruptly.
This Junior Brother Lin sitting in front of me is a monster who has already cultivated in the Long Breath Realm before entering the Taoist Academy, and has broken through to the seventh level of Mingqiao in just over a year!
In all honesty, Lin Shen's talent is much better than Su Liuying's!
Following this trend, he may not even need three years to become a monk!
And as long as the luck is not too bad, the spiritual veins cast will definitely not be lower than the third rank, and there is even a high possibility of casting a second rank spiritual vein!
Thinking of this, Xie Jingsheng immediately swallowed the praise he was about to say, and coughed to cover up his embarrassment.
Lin Shen didn't know what Xie Jingsheng was thinking, seeing him stop talking, he simply asked, "That Su Liuying, what is his cultivation level now?"
As soon as these words came out, Xie Jingsheng's expression suddenly became strange.
Lin Shen looked puzzled and asked, "What's the matter, Senior Brother Xie?"
Xie Jingsheng coughed, shook his head and said, "I don't know about that either."
Lin Shen was stunned.
According to Xie Jingsheng, Su Liuying must be a highly anticipated existence in the Nine Suns Sect, and his every move is bound to attract countless attention.
Even if you don't know her specific cultivation, you can't know the general state, right?
Seeing Lin Shen's suspicion, Xie Jingsheng had no choice but to explain: "Actually, Su Liuying is not in the sect now. As early as two years ago, she had already defected from the sect and disappeared."
Betrayed the sect!
Lin Shen was really taken aback at this moment, and hurriedly asked about the details.
Xie Jingsheng shook his head slightly: "I don't know the details of what happened. I just entered the Taoist monastery not long ago. I only know that this incident was a big one. It is said that more than ten monks died!"
"Because of Su Liuying's rise, the Su family was expected to return to the ranks of eighteen aristocratic families, but after that incident, they fell into a slump and even declined even more than before."
Lin Shen was silent, he didn't expect that there was such a secret behind this.
So, Su Liuying should be Su Nian's sister?
But in my impression, it seems that Su Nian has never heard of this elder sister.
But after thinking about it, Su Liuying's betrayal brought a very heavy blow to the Su family, and it is understandable that Su Nian didn't want to mention this clan sister.
After sighing for a moment, Xie Jingsheng quickly dismissed the topic and returned to the main topic.
"Junior brother Lin, we will gather at the east gate in five days, and then we will set off for the spiritual acupoint. This time we will stay in the spiritual acupoint for a month. Just in case, you'd better bring enough supplies, as well as medicine, to make Well prepared."
Lin Shen nodded in understanding.
After chatting for a few more words, Xie Jingsheng said goodbye and left.
After sending Xie Jingsheng away, Lin Shen returned to the practice room, ready to continue practicing.
There are still five days to go to the spiritual cave, and he intends to improve the progress of Yunlonglu and Shenyang Nine Swords.
At that time, when you arrive in the spiritual cave, you can use it to prove your talents and improve your martial skills when hunting dipo. Maybe you can break through Yunlonglu and Shenyang Nine Swords to the real martial arts realm in one fell swoop.
Of course, after entering the spiritual acupoint, the most important thing is to improve your cultivation!
"One month should be enough for me to raise my cultivation base to 100% on the ninth floor of the Mingqiao. When I come out of the spiritual acupoint, I can start to forge the spiritual veins!"
Thinking that he will be promoted to a monk in a short time, Lin Shen couldn't help feeling excited.
After a while, he calmed down and began to concentrate on cultivation.
Not long after, the sound of clothes ripping through the air and the sound of swords echoed in the practice room.
