Chapter 334: Get Up Where You Fall (2)

Shan Huachuan’s expression changed, and he said in a displeased voice, “Brother Lin, I’ve been very sincere!”

There was a hint of threat in his tone.

Use civility before resorting to force?

Lin Shen sneered inwardly and said bluntly, “I’m going to cultivate. Deacon Shan, please leave. Otherwise, when the restriction is activated, you’ll have to stay on Goldstream Isle!”

Seeing how opinionated Lin Shen was, Shan Huachuan almost lost his temper.

However, he could not do anything to Lin Shen. He could only grit his teeth and leave, preparing to report this to the family head before making a move.

Watching Shan Huachuan leave, Lin Shen sneered.

He knew he wouldn’t get what he wanted right away.

The Star Sword Pill was extremely precious. Even if the Shan family wanted to take back Gale Island, they wouldn’t be willing to use the sword pili to exchange for it.

From Shan Huachuan’s reaction just now, the Shan family was probably trying to use a humble att.i.tude to confuse Lin Shen and exchange some random resources for Gale Island.

But Lin Shen wasn’t stupid. How could he fall for such a trick?

Now that the negotiations had failed, the Shan family would definitely not let the matter rest. They would most likely do some cheap shots and tricks.

However, Lin Shen wasn’t concerned at all.

With the sect rules and who Lin Shen’s master was, no matter how indignant the Shan family felt, they could only act within the rules.

After activating the restriction, Lin Shen continued cultivating.

In the past few days, he had already restored the two drops of Nether Yin Heavy Water to their full state. Next, he had to continue condensing more Nether Yin Heavy Water.

Of course, he would keep working on the Supreme Secret Technique and the Golden Wheel Lightning Tome.

As long as his strength and cultivation continued to increase, no matter what move the Shan family made, he would have enough confidence to deal with it.

Time flew. In the blink of an eye, more than a month had pa.s.sed.

During this period of time, everything was calm and peaceful. The Shan family didn’t make any moves, as if they had completely forgotten about the matters on Gale Island.

The storm caused by Lin Shen’s defeat of Shan Wenqi gradually subsided.

Lin Shen didn’t care about the outside world. His mind was completely focused on cultivating.

After a month, the Nether Yin Heavy Water in his chest aperture had increased to five drops, and his cultivation progress had reached more than half of the first level. In at most two months, he would be able to break through to the second level.

“Cultivation techniques and divine powers are indeed much harder than spells and martial techniques!”

Lin Shen couldn’t help but sigh.

He and the two clones of Testify by Killing and Innate Spirit Body cultivated the Nether Yin Heavy Water with all their might, but after a month, his progress only increased by about 30%.

And this was only the first level.

As he advanced, his cultivation speed would only slow down further.

If it was a martial technique, he would have through three or four levels with the same amount of time and energy.

“No wonder many cultivator masters only mastered two or three cultivation techniques!”

With the help of his clones, Lin Shen was still making slow progress. It would only be more difficult for other cultivator masters.

Those with slightly weaker talents might not even be able to break through even once in two to three years when cultivating a technique like the Nether Yin Heavy Water!

“I’m only halfway through the first level of the Golden Wheel Lightning Tome.”

With a thought, Lin Shen summoned the interface.

[Name: Lin Shen]

[Talent: Genius, Innate Spirit Body]

[Stage: Level 2 Spirit Nurturing Stage, 28%]

[Cultivation technique: Supreme Secret Technique (Level 1, 45%), Golden Wheel Lightning Tome (Level 1, 58%), Nether Yin Heavy Water (Level 1, 60%)… ]

[Spell: Seven Arts Sword Energy (Perfection, Level 7), Lightning Palm

(Perfection, Level 5)…]

[Number of clones: 7 (59%)]

“Without the Nine Cauldron Pills to help me cultivate, my cultivation speed is indeed a little slow.”

Shaking his head, Lin Shen put away his clones and walked out of the Cave Abode.

“Speaking of which, it’s time to bring Ai in.”

Lin Shen had originally planned to bring Ai into the sect after obtaining the Cave Abode, but then there was a gambling compet.i.tion. After that, he was busy cultivating. It was only today that he suddenly remembered this matter.

“I’ll also make a trip back to the Nine Yang Academy to meet my old friends.”

Lin Shen’s eyes flickered. He took out his token to open the restriction on the island and immediately released the Cloud Vessel.

A moment later, the flying s.h.i.+p left Goldstream Isle.

After leaving the Blessed Land, Lin Shen put away the flying s.h.i.+p and created a cloud with his spiritual essence. He then flew toward the eastern area.

Flying was prohibited in Dragonside City, with the exception of cultivator masters.

Apart from large-scale Dharma treasures like flying s.h.i.+ps and flying palaces, cultivator masters could fly freely in the sky above Dragonside City.

Recalling the sword cultivator he had seen flying past when he first entered the central area, Lin Shen couldn’t help but feel emotional.

Back then, he even made up his mind to become a sword cultivator because of that.

And now, he had almost achieved that goal.

Once he obtained the sword pill, he would be able to start cultivating the Dark North Sword Scripture and become a true sword cultivator.

Flying with the sword was just around the corner!

As he pondered, Lin Shen had already arrived at the entrance of the Nine Yang Academy.

The token to enter the Nine Yang Academy was still with him, so he easily pa.s.sed through the entrance.

Lin Shen didn’t go to Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian directly. Instead, he sent a letter and went to the upper house to visit Si Yuanpei.

After all, it was Si Yuanpei who led him to see Yu Siyu. Logically speaking, he should thank him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Lin Shen arrived at Si Yuanpei’s residence, he saw Xie Jingsheng waiting outside.

“Brother Lin!

n

Upon seeing Lin Shen, Xie Jingsheng immediately welcomed him respectfully.

Even though Lin Shen had said that the two of them could still address each other as before, Xie Jingsheng still didn’t dare to address Lin Shen as Junior Brother Lin. He could only address him as Brother Lin.

Xie Jingsheng had also heard about what had happened in the sect recently.

Lin Shen became the disciple of Master Yu of the Fallen Sword Peak, and his status instantly surpa.s.sed many core disciples.

After that, he defeated Shan Wenqi, and his reputation soared.

The current Lin Shen had far surpa.s.sed Xie Jingsheng in terms of status and cultivation. He had reached a level that Xie Jingsheng couldn’t compare to.

In Xie Jingsheng’s eyes, even if Lin Shen wasn’t on par with his master, he was not far off either.

Xie Jingsheng didn’t dare to be negligent, even though he had some friends.h.i.+p with Lin Shen in the past.

Lin Shen acutely sensed the change in Xie Jingsheng, but he didn’t say anything. He only smiled and asked,

“Is Master Si here?”

“Master already knows you’re coming and instructed me to welcome you.”

Lin Shen nodded and walked into the courtyard.

Not long after, he met Si Yuanpei in that tea room.

“Master Si, thank you for looking after me.”

“You and I are both in the master-disciple lineage, so there’s no need to say any pleasantries.”

Si Yuanpei waved his hand and changed the topic.

“You came at the right time. There’s something 1 need to tell you.”

Seeing Si Yuanpei’s solemn expression, Lin Shen adjusted his expression and was ready to hear what Si Yuanpei had to say.

“I heard that you want the Shan family to use the Star Sword Pill in exchange for Gale Island.”

“That’s right.” Lin Shen nodded calmly, not asking how Si Yuanpei knew.

“Recently, the Shan family has called back a few disciples who have gone out to train. Those few people are all mid-phase Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator masters with extraordinary strength.”

Lin Shen’s expression changed, and he was intrigued.

No wonder there was no movement from the Shan family for the past month. They were making preparations.

Lin Shen vaguely understood the Shan family’s plan.

“The Shan family is going to take back Gale Island through gambling compet.i.tions, then?”

Si Yuanpei looked at Lin Shen in admiration and nodded. “With Master Yu around, the Shan family wouldn’t dare to disobey the rules and seize Gale Island by force. If they don’t want to exchange for the Cave Abode according to your request, they can only gamble.”

At this point, Si Yuanpei’s expression turned solemn.

“For the Shan family to become one of the five great families, they had to have a great foundation. There are many elites in the family. Among the few clansmen who were urgently recalled this time, the weakest is at the sixth level of the Spirit Nurturing Stage, far stronger than Shan Wenqi. You have to be careful.”

“I see.”

Lin Shen nodded calmly.

He wasn’t too surprised by the Shan family’s plans.

He had long guessed that there was a high chance that the Shan family would get back at him with the same method.

Only by beating the Shan family into submission would they give up hope and obediently take out the Star Sword Pill to exchange for Gale Island.

As for losing… Lin Shen was never worried about such things!

Unless the Shan family sent a cultivator master who had condensed the Mystic Light Seed, he wasn’t afraid of anyone else.

If the Shan family really dared to do this, Lin Shen probably wouldn’t even need to do anything. His Senior Sister Xia would jump out and kill the challenger.

Suddenly, Lin Shen had a flash of inspiration.

This seemed to be an opportunity.

He might be able to get the Nine Cauldrons Pills he needed..
