Chapter 94 Strange father and son
After meeting Lin Shen, Yan Dao has been suppressing his dissatisfaction and anger towards Lin Shen, trying not to show it.
It wasn't until seeing Ai Jingting talking to Lin Shen in a friendly voice, but the other party seemed to be "ignoring the answer", that she finally couldn't help blurting out.
But as soon as the words came out, Yan Dao already regretted a little.
It would be terrible if the girl was dissatisfied with Ai Jingting because of her talkativeness, which ruined Ai Jingting's business.
But the matter has come to this, but Yan Dao didn't want to admit cowardice in front of Lin Shen, so he had to bite the bullet and snorted coldly:
"Yan Dao, prefecture-level disciple!"
"It turned out to be Brother Yan."
A sudden look flashed in Lin Shen's eyes.
It's no wonder that from the beginning just now, he had a faint feeling that this person looked at him with an inexplicable hostility.
He thought it was his own illusion, but it turned out that he was from the Yan family.
Smiling, Lin Shen turned to Ai Jingting and said:
"Senior Sister Ai, I promise you, with eleven Hunyuan Pills, the hair of the mountain charm will be yours."
Ai Jingting was taken aback.
Yan Dao was furious.
"Mountain Charm's hair is worth three or four hundred merit points at most, and you have already taken advantage of ten Hunyuan Pills. Do you want to increase the price?"
Lin Shen glanced at Yan Dao, smiled and said:
"Twelve Hunyuan Pills."
"You are a lion!"
"Thirteen Hunyuan Pills."
Yan Dao was so angry that the veins on his forehead popped out. Before he could speak, Zheng Weirong and Bai Xiaotong couldn't stand it anymore, and rushed forward to stop him.
"Brother Yan, calm down, calm down!"
"That's right, Senior Brother Yan, it is Senior Sister Ai who needs the Hair of the Mountain Charm, so just leave this matter to Senior Sister Ai herself!"
While dissuading Yan Dao, Zheng Weirong did not forget to raise his mouth secretly, implying that it was Ai Jingting who would exchange Shan Mei's hair, and told Lin Shen not to blame Yan Dao's fault on Ai Jingting.
Lin Shen is so perceptive, so he naturally understood Zheng Weirong's hidden meaning at the first time.
But he doesn't care so much, and with this kind of pig teammate, he must have the awareness of being cheated by pig teammates.
"How about it, Senior Sister Ai, do you want to exchange?"
Looking at the smiling young man in front of her, Ai Jingting felt a little helpless, but she still nodded without hesitation.
"want!"
Took the porcelain bottle, checked it again, and after confirming that it was the thirteen Hunyuan Pills, Lin Shen readily handed over the mountain charm hair to Ai Jingting.
"By the way, I would like to remind you, Senior Sister Ai, those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black. If you stay with idiots for a long time, your IQ will also drop. It is better to keep a distance from such people."
After finishing speaking, before the furious Yan Dao could yell and curse, Lin Shen smiled and left the mountaintop without looking back.
Watching Lin Shen disappear from sight, a strange light flashed in Ai Jingting's eyes.
"Junior Sister Ai, I"
After calming down, Yan Dao stepped forward to explain a few words, but was interrupted softly by Ai Jingting.
"It's okay, Brother Yan, I know you didn't mean it, so don't take it to heart."
"It's getting late, let's go back."
Hualuo walked down the mountain.
Yan Dao's face paled slightly.
He would rather Ai Jingting complain to him a few words, or simply shake her face angrily. In any case, it is better than the current gentle and indifferent attitude.
It seems tolerant and gentle, but it actually means that Ai Jingting doesn't regard him as a close person at all, that's why she is so polite.
Leaving Huohe Mountain, Lin Shen went straight back to Linlong City.
After all, I have been in Longyuan Mountains for more than half a month, and it is time to go back.
On the way, Lin Shen called out the panel.
【Name: Lin Shen】
【Talent: Demonstration through killing】
【Boundary: Long-breathing three layers 76%】
[Cultivation method: Golden Crow Sutra (35% proficient), Blazing Sun Palm (Complete), Follow Like a Shadow (Complete), Soldiers Melting Hand (Complete), Forbidden Golden Armor (15% mastery), Cloud Piercer Dragon Chanting (11% mastery), Concentration Fanshu (21% proficient)]
【The number of clones is 5 (39%)】
In the more than half a month in the Longyuan Mountains, Lin Shen basically didn't practice the Golden Crow Sutra much, and the improvement of his cultivation was all due to the increase in the talent effect of proving the way by killing.
So the improvement is a bit slow, and it has not yet broken through to the fourth level of long breath.
In comparison, the improvement of martial arts realm is very significant.
Forbidden Golden Armor and Cloud Piercer Dragon Yin both broke through to Dacheng Realm.
Melting Soldiers has reached the state of perfection
The improvement in strength is not insignificant!
"The combination of hunting monsters and killing demons to increase strength is really effective, it's just a little hard work."
"After going back to rest for a period of time, continue to come to Longyuan Mountains to practice."
Lin Shen happily made a decision.
Back to Linlong City, Lin Shen first sent Xiao Ai back to the villa, and told her to stay at home and practice in peace, not to run around, leaving a lot of canned cats behind, and then returned to Jiuyang Daoyuan non-stop.
Passing through the teleportation array, Lin Shen quickly returned to Jiuyang Taoist Temple after his field of vision was completely white.
The disciples who came and went on the mountain road were in a hurry as usual.
Here, the rhythm seems to never slow down, and all the disciples are racing against time to improve their strength.
Lin Shen originally thought that after so many days, the influence of the mentoring battle should have subsided a lot.
But when he stepped into the mountain path, he still felt the attention of many eyes, and many disciples were pointing at him along the way.
Lin Shenwei felt helpless, so he ignored the right and rushed straight to the Academy of Merit.
Come to the mission hall, Jiao Yu is still on duty behind the counter.
Seeing Lin Shen, Jiao Yu immediately smiled.
"Brother Lin, you're back!"
Lin Shen nodded with a smile, and said, "I have to hand in a task, please help me with it."
"No problem, Senior Brother Lin, show me the things. If there is a corresponding task, I'll help you register and complete it here." Jiao Yu said with a smile.
But soon, she stopped laughing.
Wood Spirit Grass, Ebony Root, Frost Flower, Frozen Flake and even Baojin Cloud Sand!
As Lin Shen took out every rare and rare herb, Jiao Yu's eyes widened.
Especially at the back, Jiao Yu's pretty face was filled with disbelief when he saw that Lin Shen took out so much precious gold and cloud sand that it piled up into a hill.
"This, this is too much."
Jiao Yu almost doubted whether Lin Shen had emptied the treasures of a certain mountain, otherwise where did he collect so many things?
Ordinary long-breathing realm disciples have been practicing abroad for more than half a year, and I am afraid that they will not have such amazing gains!
The movement here quickly attracted the attention of many disciples.
When they saw the huge pile of exotic plants and monster bone skins near the counter, everyone was dumbfounded.
"I'll go, so many natural treasures?"
"There is even precious gold cloud sand, and the quantity is so large, I am afraid it is several hundred catties!"
"A big harvest! Who is so powerful?"
"Lin Shen! It's him!"
There was an uproar in the hall.
Not long after the mentoring war turmoil, Lin Shen is still the center of everyone's chatter these days.
Just now, many people talked about Lin Shen. Who would have thought that he would see the person bringing a lot of talents and treasures to hand in the task in a blink of an eye.
After a long while, Jiao Yu recovered from the shock, gave Lin Shen an admiring look, and then began to count things.
There were so many things and miscellaneous things, it took nearly an hour for Jiao Yu to count all the things, and then registered the corresponding tasks, and the meritorious deeds were included in Lin Shen's identity token.
At the end of the calculation, Lin Shen got a total of 54 minor meritorious services, plus 893 meritorious points.
When handing over the identity token to Lin Shen, Jiao Yu looked a little dazed.
Many long-breathing disciples have stayed in the Taoist monastery for two or three years, and they may not be able to earn so many meritorious deeds.
And Lin Shen just went to the Longyuan Mountains, and he has already achieved the goal that others can only achieve in two or three years. It is incredible!
"Thanks."
Lin Shen took the token with joy in his eyes.
The harvest of this trip far exceeded his expectations.
In addition to the huge number of meritorious deeds, there are Hunyuan Dan, storage bags, and many rare and rare herbs that are not included in the quest collection targets, but are not low in value.
It can be sold and exchanged for spirit coins if necessary, which is also a great fortune.
The benefits brought to him by this experience cannot be described enough!
Putting away the token, Lin Shen asked casually:
"Junior Sister Jiao, has anything happened in the Taoist Academy recently?"
Jiao Yu came to his senses, thought for a while and shook his head:
"Nothing happened right, but there is one thing that Brother Lin might be interested in!"
"What's the matter?" Lin Shen asked curiously.
"A few days ago, Martial Arts Hall released a mission in the Taoist monastery to recruit disciples from the Long Breath Realm to assist in arresting criminals. They will be rewarded with three minor meritorious deeds. If they perform well and make contributions, they will be rewarded with additional meritorious deeds. Many disciples have accepted the mission. .”
Martial arts hall? Help catch criminals?
Lin Shen was greatly surprised.
Is there no one in Zhiwu Hall? Why did you come to the monastery to recruit people?
Seeing Lin Shen's doubts, Jiao Yu explained with a smile:
"This is not the first time Zhiwutang has done this. It has happened two or three times before. Usually, it is because Zhiwutang wants to perform some kind of large-scale operation."
"And in this kind of mission, Taoist disciples generally don't have to face criminals directly. Most of the time, they perform tasks such as search, investigation and siege. The danger is not too high, and the reward is high, so it is very popular among disciples."
Lin Shen suddenly realized.
After thinking about it, it is not surprising that Zhiwutang temporarily recruits helpers in the Daoyuan.
After all, many Taoist disciples are long-breathing practitioners. In terms of skill, they are stronger than many members of the Martial Arts Hall.
In the case of insufficient manpower, it is indeed a good choice to recruit helpers from Jiuyang Daoyuan.
Speaking of it, this can be regarded as a different kind of internship.
After all, many disciples who were eliminated from the Taoist Academy will eventually join the Martial Arts Hall.
"Brother Lin, do you want to accept this task?" Jiao Yu asked.
Lin Shen didn't comment: "What about the mission?"
"I didn't say the specifics. The Martial Arts Hall said it was for the sake of confidentiality. The only thing they know is that they have accepted the task, and the disciples who have passed the screening will be on standby at any time within the next month. Once they receive the news, they must go to the designated place immediately. Gather and assign tasks later."
Three minor exercises a month?
For ordinary long-breathing disciples, this reward is indeed considerable.
After all, the disciples of the Long-breathing realm can only get a small merit by guarding the spirit mine outside the city for a month.
And although the danger is not great, most of the time will be spent on patrol and garrison.
Unlike the task of Martial Arts Hall, although it will be on standby for a month, the disciple can continue to practice during this period without wasting time.
It is no wonder that so many disciples rushed to sign up.
Even Lin Shen, who just acquired more than 50 small skills, was a little moved.
Although the harvest has been great this time, not every experience can hit such a good thing as the Baojinyun Sand Vein. The road to earning meritorious service is still a long way to go.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Shen decided to take over the task.
He just came back from training outside, and he doesn't plan to go outside the city for the time being. It just so happens that the mission is not very dangerous, so he can take it as a vacation.
Furthermore, he also wanted to see on the spot how Zhiwutang arrested criminals.
After accepting the task and chatting with Jiao Yu for a while, Lin Shen was ready to exchange for martial arts and magic weapons.
With a large sum of meritorious service in hand, all the martial arts and magical weapons that I have been thinking about can be exchanged for all this time!
Thinking of this, Lin Shen's steps became a little lighter.
But before he walked out of the gate, he saw a man rushing into the hall in a menacing manner, striding towards the counter, slapped the cabinet table, and said loudly:
"I want to accept the mission, the one in the Martial Hall!"
Jiao Yu obviously knew the person, and when he heard this, his face was bitter, and he said helplessly:
"Brother Leng, Director Leng has given us a death order, and you are not allowed to accept any missions involving combat, so don't embarrass me."
The young man named Senior Brother Leng was furious when he heard the words, and took the case again.
"I am a disciple of the Taoist Academy and have the right to accept tasks. Why do you stop me from accepting tasks?"
"But that's what your father Leng Zhizhan said personally, I"
"I do not care!"
Senior Brother Leng interrupted Jiao Yu's words impatiently, and said arrogantly:
"Anyway, today I must take over the recruitment task of Zhiwutang. If you don't help me handle it, don't blame me for being merciless!"
Jiao Yu frowned, hesitated for a few seconds, finally gritted her teeth, and said in a low voice:
"I'm sorry, senior brother Leng, I can't violate the order of the leader of Leng."
"you!"
Brother Leng was furious, and he swiped Jiao Yu's cheek with his backhand.
The girl didn't expect that Senior Brother Leng would really dare to do something, her face paled immediately, and she closed her eyes tightly subconsciously.
But after waiting for a few seconds, the expected pain never came.
Jiao Yu opened his eyes suspiciously and looked, only to find that Senior Brother Leng's wrist was tightly bound and unable to move.
But Lin Shen who was at the side made a timely move to stop Senior Brother Leng's actions.
"If you really have the courage, go to your father to cancel the order. What kind of skill is bullying girls?"
Lin Shen shook off Senior Brother Leng's wrist, took a step forward to block Jiao Yu, and looked at him calmly.
"Who are you? Meddle in your own business when you're full?"
Brother Leng rubbed his wrist, glaring at Lin Shen.
"Don't get out of the way again, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Lin Shen didn't back down, and stood there with a calm expression.
Seeing this, senior brother Leng's eyes were filled with anger, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Very well, in that case, I will."
"What are you doing!"
Halfway through the conversation, he was suddenly interrupted by a deep drink.
Everyone was taken aback, turned their heads to follow the prestige, and then realized that there was an extra person next to them.
The visitor was about forty years old, with a clear face, bright eyes, dressed in a black robe, and exuded an extraordinary grace from top to bottom.
Seeing the person coming, Senior Brother Leng, who was so arrogant and furious just now, felt as if he had been poured with cold water.
At the same time, Jiao Yu let out a low cry.
"Cold Command!"
Lin Shen suddenly took a look at the person, and it turned out that he was the father of Senior Brother Leng.
Leng Zhizhu glanced at Jiao Yu and Lin Shen, his eyes focused on Lin Shen and paused for a moment, then nodded at him, turned and left the hall without saying anything.
"Come with me!"
Senior Brother Leng left the hall dejectedly like a defeated rooster without saying a word.
Watching the two of them disappear at the entrance of the main hall, Lin Shen secretly shook his head.
A pair of strange father and son.
Turning his head, Lin Shen found Jiao Yuzheng looking at him with bright eyes.
"Brother Lin, you were so handsome just now! Thank you for helping me!"
"It's just a little effort."
Lin Shen waved his hand and asked casually:
"What happened to that man just now?"
Jiao Yu came back to his senses, stuck out his tongue in the direction where Senior Brother Leng left, made a face, and then replied:
"That man's name is Leng Xing, the son of Leng Guangting Leng. His father doesn't allow him to accept any combat-related tasks, so he comes here to make trouble from time to time."
"why is that?"
Lin Shen was greatly surprised.
Is there such a father?
You must know that practicing a skill is not just about burying your head in hard work. Fighting is also essential!
Not to mention that the cultivation of many martial arts needs to absorb insights from battles, but it is said that many practitioners take the initiative to go deep into places where monsters are dense, just to obtain that flash of enlightenment between life and death, so as to break through the bottleneck.
It can be said that fighting is also a part of practice.
Not allowing his own son to participate in the battle, wouldn't that delay him from improving his strength?
Besides, Leng Guangting is still in charge, so it stands to reason that he should be able to understand this better.
"Everyone speculates that it has something to do with Leng taking over the dead eldest son!"
Jiao Yu said mysteriously:
"The eldest son of Director Leng is also a disciple of the Taoist Academy, but he disappeared unexpectedly when he entered the Longyuan Mountains for training two years ago. He has not been found yet. It is almost certain that he has died. Since then, Leng Xing has only one son left in Director Leng .”
"Perhaps it is because I don't want my only son who is left to be in danger to die again. Leng Xing is strictly forbidden to accept any task with a slightly higher risk. This is well known in the monastery."
Lin Shen was stunned.
I didn't expect there to be such a reason here.
