Chapter 195: Marry You (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After leaving the Merit Hall, Lin Shen was ready to leave the city.
However, before he left, he went to the True Martial Pavilion in the central area and bought a lot of Energy Restoration Pills and Revival Pills.
There were still quite a few pills left in the ring, and they had to come from Jin Hai and Leng Guangting. However, Lin Shen thought that he might need to consume a lot of pills on this trip, so he bought a few more just in case.
Both types of pills were available in the Merit Hall, but Lin Shen didn’t want to waste his merit points, so he came to the True Martial Pavilion to purchase them.
Needless to say, he had plenty of spirit coins at the moment.
He had the wealth of both Level-9 Bright Aperture cultivators, and the total spirit coins had reached nine figures.
However, spirit coins weren’t very useful to Lin Shen now, so he didn’t care too much.
After returning to the newly bought villa in the Eastern District, Lin Shen took Ai with him and rushed to the city gate.
During this period of time, Ai became more and more familiar with Sinking Moon’s spirit cats.
Therefore, Lin Shen simply gave Sinking Moon a large sum of spirit coins and asked them to help take care of Ai.
Naturally, the spirit cats wouldn’t reject their benefactor’s request and agreed readily.
Therefore, when Lin Shen wasn’t around, Ai stayed with Sinking Moon.
Only when he went out of the city to train would Lin Shen bring Ai, a treasure-hunting expert.
After leaving the west gate, Lin Shen released the Giant-horned Deer and rode the spiritual beast straight to the Great Swamp of the West.
The so-called Great Swamp of the West was a vast lake more than 200 miles west of Dragonside City. It covered an area of nearly a million square kilometers and contained countless lakes, swamps, and islands.
Although the spiritual energy in the Great Lake of the West was not as rich as in the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range, because of its special geographical environment, it was very suitable for aquatic demons to live in. Therefore, there were also countless demons living here.
With the Giant-horned Deer as a means of transportation, Lin Shen only used half a day to arrive at the Great Swamp of the West.
On the way, he only encountered a few ignorant demons who wanted to treat him as food, but he casually dealt with them.
Standing in front of a lake, Lin Shen took out a map from his storage ring and unfolded it to read it carefully.
The map was exchanged from the Merit Hall.
The price was not high, only about ten merit points.
However, the water terrain drawn on it was very detailed. It even marked the number and strength of the demons near the various lake islands.
Of course, the demons were brutal and often killed each other. Coupled with the fact that human cultivators came to kill them from time to time, the territory changed very quickly.
A spirit fish might occupy an area today. Tomorrow, it might belong to a spirit turtle.
No matter how diligent the Merit Hall was in updating, it could not catch up to this change.
Therefore, the information on the map could only be used as a reference.
If one trusted all the information and acted accordingly, he might suffer a huge loss at any time.
According to the terrain on the map, the nearest lake with Iron Bone Fish was more than 50 kilometers away.
There were only two Enlightening Stage demons near the lake. One was a Water Snake, and the other was an Inky Prawn. Their cultivation levels were only at the mid-phase of the Enlightening Stage, and they each led hundreds of clansmen to cultivate near the lake.
“Two Enlightening Stage demons…”
Lin Shen’s eyes flickered.
With the Black Peak Inkstone and the Pure Yang Talisman Sword in hand, and with his current strength, it was easy for him to deal with a mid-phase Enlightenment spiritual beast.
If he summoned his clone, he could easily kill a late-phasc Enlightening Stage one.
After all, an Enlightening Stage spiritual beast was not comparable to a ninth-level Bright Aperture cultivator. It was much weaker.
After coming back to his senses, Lin Shen summoned his Testify by Killing clone.
After breaking through to the Bright Aperture Stage, the zero consumption distance of the clone’s physical form increased to a thousand meters.
This distance was almost enough for his Testify by Killing clone to hunt spiritual beasts in the wilderness with Lin Shen.
Just in case, Lin Shen got his clone to take the Face Changing Pill. Then, he pulled away and maintained a distance of about 2,000 meters from his clone.
Although there was consumption at this distance, Lin Shen could afford it. He just had to eat some pills every once in a while to recover his spiritual essence.
The two of them split up and rushed towards their destination at the same time, hunting spiritual beasts along the way.
During this period, Lin Shen released Ai as usual and let her lie on his shoulder to carry out the important task of treasure hunting.
Perhaps it was because Lin Shen looked like an easy target all by himself, before long, a group of demons targeted him.
In a pond not far away on the left, the calm water suddenly surged. As waves splashed, a group of fish monsters and prawn demons suddenly rushed out, screaming as they charged at Lin Shen.
These demons looked extremely strange. They looked like fish and shrimps that had grown limbs and had been magnified hundreds of times. They even held weapons like spears in their hands. However, when they charged, they did not have any formation and were in a mess.
Lin Shen looked around and immediately lost interest.
The group of demons in front of him was only at the Spirit Awakening Stage. Even if he killed them all, he would most likely not be able to trigger the effect of Testify by Killing.
As his cultivation level increased, the standard to trigger the effect of Testify by Killing also increased.
With his current cultivation at the third level of the Bright Aperture Stage, it was almost impossible for him to trigger the talent effect by killing demons below the Ascension Stage.
However, every time he triggered the talent effect, the improvement was more and more impressive.
Lin Shen’s eyes flickered. He simply took out two talismans and threw them out.
The paper talisman grew in size and turned into two paper soldiers that were over seven feet tall. They charged at the demons as soon as they landed..
