Chapter 226: True Disciple and Secrets (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
With a thought, the invisible spiritual consciousness that filled his body instantly turned into vortexes that absorbed the spiritual essence in the air into his body.
His cultivation speed was more than ten times faster than when he cultivated the Nine Yang Scripture!
The feeling of spiritual essence surging into his body was especially refreshing. Lin Shen was completely immersed in the rapid increase in his cultivation.
Nine days later.
All three Golden Marrow Pills were consumed by Lin Shen.
His cultivation also broke through to the seventh level of the Bright Aperture Stage as he wished!
[Name: Lin Shen]
[Talent: Analogy]
[Stage: Seventh level of the Bright Aperture Stage, 23%]
[Cultivation techniques: Nine Yang Scripture (Perfection), Meltdown (True Martial), Forbidden Golden Armor (True Martial), Cloud Dragon Rhythm (Path, 45%), Nine Divine Sun Sword (Path, 35%)…]
[Spells: Seven Arts Sword Energy (Level 4, 78%), Lightning Palm (Level 4, 34%), Paper Man Movement Technique (Level 3, 67%), Fixed Body Curse (Level 3, 20%), Riding Wind Technique (Level 3, 48%), Water Mirror Technique (Level 1, 47% )]
[Number of clones: 7 (20%)]
“I’ve finally broken through. The Nine Yang Scripture has also reached Perfection.
“It’s a pity that I only have three Golden Marrow Pills. If 1 had ten more, 1 might be able to break through to the ninth level!”
Looking at the interface, Lin Shen thought regretfully.
However, he also knew that this thought was a little too greedy.
The Golden Marrow Pill was extremely precious. Back then, when Jiang Hao and Xie Jingsheng sparred, the reward was only one Golden Marrow Pill.
This time, he was able to obtain three Golden Essence Pills. It was a reward specially set up by the academy to temper its disciples.
This kind of thing could only be chanced upon by luck.
“I’ll just wait and see when 1 can enter the spirit cave.”
After advancing to the seventh level of the Bright Aperture Stage, the Spirit Nurturing Pill was no longer effective on Lin Shen.
The Golden Marrow Pills had been used up.
If he wanted to improve his cultivation, he could only rely on hard work.
Even if Lin Shen had seven clones, it would take at least a few months to reach 100% in the ninth level of the Bright Aperture Stage.
However, if he could enter the spirit cave, he might be able to achieve his goal within a month.
“The Cloud Dragon Rhythm and the Nine Divine Sun Sword should also reach True Martial as soon as possible!”
Lin Shen did some calculations.
The Cloud Dragon Rhythm was still short of eleven Perfection movement techniques before reaching True Martial.
The Nine Divine Sun Sword still needed thirteen more.
With his current cultivation speed, if he focused on cultivating martial techniques, he would be able to cultivate two martial techniques to True Martial in about a month.
With two more True Martial techniques, his strength would increase by at least 10 to 20%. He would also be more confident in entering the spirit cave to hunt Earth Essences.
Earth Essences weren’t weak at all. In fact, they couldn’t be weak if they lived in places with rich spiritual essence. The weakest Earth Essence was as powerful as an Enlightening Stage spiritual beast!
After a while, Lin Shen dispelled the distracting thoughts and calmed down to continue cultivating. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat.
Through the token, he sensed that someone was visiting.
Lin Shen immediately stood up and went to the courtyard outside. With a wave of his hand, the restriction on the door immediately switched off. He saw Xie Jingsheng standing at the door with a smile.
“Senior Brother Xie.”
Xie Jingsheng sized him up a few times with a deep smile.
“Congratulations on advancing to the next level, Junior Brother Lin!”
Xie Jingsheng knew that Lin Shen had obtained three Golden Marrow Pills, so he wasn’t surprised that Lin Shen had broken through again in just nine days. However, he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Lin Shen had only entered the academy for a year, but his cultivation level was already on par with Xie Jingsheng’s. That was some incredible talent!
After thanking Xie Jingsheng, Lin Shen welcomed him in before asking why he was there.
“I’m here to tell you that the sect has already sent people to investigate the spirit cave and confirmed that there’s nothing missing. Therefore, from today onwards, it’s officially open to the disciples, and they can enter in batches.
“And you and I are among the first batch of disciples to enter the spirit cave!”
Lin Shen was overjoyed.
He had thought that he would have to wait for a month or two, but he did not expect to be able to enter the spirit cave so quickly.
“When?” Lin Shen quickly asked.
“In five days,” Xie Jingsheng said. “Junior Brother Mu, Junior Brother Fu, and ten Heaven-rank disciples from the lower house will be accompanying us.”
The Junior Brother Mu that Xie Jingsheng was referring to was Mu Chuanhua.
As for Junior Brother Fu, Lin Shen guessed that he should be Fu Weifang, who was also a disciple of the upper house.
However, only four upper-house disciples were entering the spirit cave, which surprised Lin Shen.
“Where are Senior Brother Shen and the others?”
Xie Jingsheng understood what Lin Shen meant and explained, “The others have chores to attend to. As for Senior Brother Shen…”
At this point, Xie Jingsheng paused, and envy and admiration flashed in his eyes.
“Senior Brother Shen has already started cultivating in seclusion five days ago and is preparing to forge a spirit meridian!”
Lin Shen was shocked.
Back then, when he saw Shen Zening easily defeat the tablet and save Jiang Hao from Yan Jingren, he guessed that Shen Zening’s cultivation level must be extremely high. He didn’t expect him to already be at the ninth level of the Bright Aperture Stage and had already begun to forge a spirit meridian.
His strength had already far exceeded the other upper-house disciples!
After all, before Lin Shen advanced to the upper house, Xie Jingsheng, who was ranked second, was only at the sixth level of the Bright Aperture Stage. He was three stages lower than Shen Zening.
From this point of view, Shen Zening was on a completely different level from the other upper-house disciples!
“With Senior Brother Shen’s potential, he can at least forge a third-grade spirit meridian or even a second-grade spirit meridian!”
Xie Jingsheng’s face was filled with undisguised envy.
“Senior Brother Shen will be leaving the academy in about half a year. If he can become a cultivator master before that, he will be a true disciple after officially joining the sect.. He’ll rise in no time!”
