66 Military Bug
Ai had already fallen asleep when Lin Shen returned home with the things he bought.
Lin Shen lightened his footsteps and went to the bedroom on the second floor. After closing the door, he immediately summoned Clone 2.
Condensing Liquid, Blood Boiling Powder, Snake Orchid, and Poison Flame Mushroom.
There were a total of four kinds of pills and rare herbs.
Lin Shen had Clone 2 use them one by one. He spent more than three hours testing each effect.
As expected, after breaking through to the ninth level of Qi Transformation, the effect of the Condensing Liquid had greatly weakened.
500 milliliters of Condensing Liquid only increased his cultivation progress by 1%.
The other three were slightly better.
A bottle of Blood Boiling Powder finally contributed 4% of his cultivation progress.
A Snake Orchid increased his cultivation progress by about 6%.
The Poison Flame Mushrooms had the best effect. Just one mushroom had increased his cultivation progress by nearly 9%.
In total, Lin Shen had spent more than 30,000 spirit coins on the Blood Boiling Powder, Snake Orchid, and Poison Flame Mushroom that he had bought tonight.
However, it was enough to increase his cultivation progress by nearly 40%!
If he spent the same amount on Origin Pills, his cultivation would only increase by 1%.
The difference between the two was like the difference between heaven and earth!
Of course, there was a huge price to pay for such a huge gap.
After a round of experiments, Clone 2’s face had already turned pale. It almost looked lifeless, making people worry that it would fall to the ground and die in the next second.
“Clone 2’s lifespan has already been halved. It has gone through so many experiments recently. I wonder how long it can last?
“I hope it can at least last until I break through to the Long Breath Stage.”
Lin Shen shook his head and let Clone 2 continue cultivating while he sat down and meditated.
At the same time, the other three clones in his mind also began to cultivate martial techniques.
Currently, among the cultivation techniques and martial techniques that Lin Shen had been practicing, only Mortal Restrain, Shadows, and Dragon Roar Through the Clouds had yet to reach Perfection.
Among them, the Mortal Restrain could wait because Beginner was enough for the time being. There was no need to advance it anymore. He could just practice in his free time.
As for the other two martial techniques, Lin Shen planned to focus on cultivating Shadows to Perfection before switching to Dragon Roar Through the Clouds.
…
Time flew by.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
The three clones cultivated at full strength, and Shadows finally reached Perfection.
Apart from that, with the help of the Origin Pill, Condensing Liquid, Snake Orchid, and a series of other pills and rare herbs, Lin Shen’s cultivation had also improved significantly.
[Name: Lin Shen]
[Talent: God’s Jealousy]
[Stage: Level 9 Qi Transformation, 75%]
[Cultivation technique: Origin Breathing Technique (Perfection), Blazing Sun Palm (Perfection), Mortal Restrain (Beginner, 64%), Shadows (Perfection), Dragon Roar Through the Clouds (Beginner, 5%)]
[Number of clones: 4 (80%)]
“I’m only 25% away from breaking through to the Long Breath Stage!”
A look of joy flashed across Lin Shen’s eyes when he looked at the data on the interface,
By now, Old Wu should have already bought the things Lin Shen needed.
Another batch of pills or rare herbs like the Blood Boiling Powder and the Snake Orchid, he should be able to cultivate to the Long Breath Stage.
“The fifth clone is almost complete. I only need to wait for ten days!”
Lin Shen was overjoyed.
When the fifth clone was completed, his cultivation speed would increase again.
It would be even better if he could get a powerful talent like Superior Martial Arts!
Calming himself down, Lin Shen closed the interface and looked out the window.
The night was dark, and the moon was high. It was a good time to head to the black street.
Jumping down from the bed, Lin Shen packed his things and prepared to go to the black street to get something from Old Wu.
But just as he was about to jump out of the window, he heard a rustling sound outside the door, followed by Ai’s voice.
“Lin Shen! Lin Shen!”
Lin Shen frowned and turned around to open the door.
“What’s wrong? Didn’t I tell you not to come to the second floor without my permission?”
Ai jumped onto Lin Shen’s shoulder, grabbed his clothes tightly, and looked out of the window uneasily.
“I sense a familiar energy. I think the Night Grinders are nearby!”
Lin Shen’s gaze froze. The Night Grinders had followed them here?
“Are you sure about that?”
“The smell of those bad guys from the Night Grinders is terrible. I won’t make a mistake. They’re nearby!”
...
“I see.” Lin Shen nodded solemnly.
Although he didn’t know if the Night Grinders were here for him and Ai, there was no harm in being cautious. It was better to leave this place first.
Lin Shen took out two Protection Talismans from his storage jade plate and stuck them on himself and Ai.
Although they were only low-level talismans, their effect shouldn’t be underestimated.
A Protection Talisman was enough to withstand four to five full-on attacks from a cultivator at the early stage of the Long Breath Stage!
Before the effect of the Protection Talisman wore off, the holder wouldn’t suffer any physical damage!
Immediately after that, Lin Shen stuck a Flying Feather Talisman on himself.
The moment the talisman took effect, Lin Shen felt his body suddenly become incomparably light, and the gravity seemed to have disappeared by more than half.
He leaped lightly and landed by the window. Then, he flipped over and landed soundlessly on the street behind the villa.
It was late at night, and the streets were quiet. There was no one in sight.
Lin Shen didn’t delay and immediately left with Ai.
...
With the help of the Flying Feather Talisman, the man and cat moved quickly and silently. In the blink of an eye, they were more than a kilometer away from the villa.
However, Ai quickly issued a warning.
“Lin Shen, I feel that energy approaching us. They’re so fast!”
Lin Shen’s heart lurched slightly.
Although the Flying Feather Talisman couldn’t greatly increase one’s movement speed like the Divine Strider Talisman, it could still increase one’s speed by making one’s body light.
He had also been using his perfected Shadows with all his might along the way.
After increasing his speed twice, he was actually unable to shake off the pursuers. Instead, his enemy had gradually closed the distance between them. Could the pursuers be Long Breath Stage cultivators?
Tap, tap, tap!
Just as he was feeling puzzled, a strange sound suddenly came from behind. It sounded a little like charging horses, but the commotion was much smaller.
Lin Shen frowned and looked back. He saw a group of strange-looking monsters breaking through the darkness and charging over brazenly.
These monsters were more than an inch tall. Their upper bodies were humanoid, but their lower bodies were like horses. They had six legs and were covered in cold armor. All of them were holding weapons. Some of them even carried bows and arrows, looking like cavalrymen but only a few sizes smaller.
There were at least 300 to 400 of them. They were densely packed as they charged forward. They were small, but they gave off the majestic aura of a thousand troops galloping unhindered and destroying everything in their path!
Lin Shen was shocked.
“What kind of monster is this?”
Ai screamed in fear and hugged Lin Shen’s neck tightly.
“So many bugs! I’m so scared of bugs!”
Bugs?
Lin Shen’s expression changed, and he asked, “Do you know what kind of monster this is?”
“They, they’re Military Bugs, a kind of very terrifying demonic beast!”
