The thought of offending a genius with unlimited potential who would definitely become a Reverse Elixir cultivator in the future made one’s scalp tingle!
But Lin Shen was different.
From the moment he became Master Yu’s disciple and joined the master-disciple lineage, he had become the opponent of the influential families.
Even if there were no conflicts, the influential families wouldn’t let Lin Shen get stronger so easily. They would constantly find opportunities to suppress him.
Especially when Lin Shen was the one who snatched away Goldstream Isle.
If Shan Wenqi did nothing and allowed Goldstream Isle to fall into Lin Shen’s hands, his reputation among the disciples of influential families would definitely plummet. He would probably never be able to raise his head again.
Therefore, he had to show his muscles. Even if he had to directly issue a challenge to Lin Shen, he wouldn’t hesitate to shed all pretense of cordiality.
Sun Linmao wasn’t stupid. He soon realized what it was about, but he was still a little hesitant.
“Senior Brother Shan, although Lin Shen has just become a cultivator master, his strength cannot be underestimated. Back then, Lin Shen was already able to defeat Kuang Zhuo before he even cultivated any techniques. Now that a month has passed, he has most likely already converted to the spiritual essence of the Five Elements. His strength will only be even more shocking!”
“Kuang Zhuo is only at the second level of the Spirit Nurturing Stage and has a fourth-grade spirit meridian. He’s so weak!”
Shan Wenqi didn’t hide his disdain for Kuang Zhuo at all.
Kuang Zhuo had cultivated for over seven years and was still stuck at the second level of the Spirit Nurturing Stage. That showed how inferior his aptitude was.
The Kuang family couldn’t find any outstanding talents, so they had to settle for the next best thing and invest a large amount of resources in Kuang Zhuo. Otherwise, with Kuang Zhuo’s talent, it would probably be difficult for him to even forge a fifth-grade spirit meridian.
In the past, they could still maintain a glamorous appearance, but the battle between Kuang Zhuo and Lin Shen had completely torn off that cover, revealing the decline of the Kuang family.
In less than twenty years, the Kuang family would most likely fall out of the ranks of preeminent families!
“It’s only been a month, even if Lin Shen has converted the spiritual essence of the Five Elements, he definitely won’t have the time to practice cultivation techniques and divine arts. With my strength, defeating him won’t be a problem!”
Shan Wenqi was full of confidence.
After all, he was a fourth-level Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator. Although he didn’t cultivate one of the eight divine powers of the sect, it was still a powerful cultivation technique that was ranked among the top in the sect. He felt that it would be easy for him to deal with a first-level Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator who didn’t even have a cultivation technique or divine power.
He thought he knew everything. Since Lin Shen had forged a first-grade spirit meridian, when choosing spells, he would definitely choose spells with dual elements or even three elements.
The common feature of such spells was that it was extremely difficult to reach Beginner.
Perhaps Lin Shen hadn’t even reached Beginner yet and hadn’t been able to transform the Five Elements spiritual essence!
If that were the case, it would be even easier for him to defeat Lin Shen!
Thinking of this, Shan Wenqi felt more confident. He patted Sun Linmao’s shoulder and smiled.
“Don’t worry. Lin Shen is no match for me. Go to Goldstream Isle first. When you’re done, come to Flying Eave Island. Brother Li and 1 will wait for your news there!”
Seeing that Shan Wenqi was full of confidence, Sun Linmao didn’t say anything else. He cupped his hands at Shan Wenqi and rushed to Goldstream Isle.
After watching him leave, Shan Wenqi looked around and laughed loudly. “Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, let’s go to Flying Eave Island to attend the banquet first. Don’t let Brother Li and the others wait too long!”
Everyone agreed.
Goldstream Isle.
Lin Shen sat cross-legged on the jagged rock beside the river that cut across the island and slowly exhaled his spiritual essence.
Thunder rumbled incessantly, and the sound came from his body.
Every time he breathed in and out spiritual essence, it was as if a giant wheel was rolling through his bones and tendons, producing a low and deafening sound.
After a long while, Lin Shen slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
Upon closer inspection, there seemed to be a faint black-red color in the air he exhaled. It was the impurities expelled from his body.
With the help of his clones, Lin Shen only used half a month to cultivate the Golden Wheel Lightning Tome to Beginner.
Then, he spent half a month drawing in the metal and water spiritual essence on the island to help refine his body with the Supreme Mystery spiritual essence.
After half a month, more than half of the impurities in his body had been refined, and the effect was obvious!
Lin Shen stretched out his palm and closed his fingers. As he rubbed them together, there was a faint flash of lightning, making a crisp sound like metal rubbing against metal.
“As expected of a dual-element Body Tempering divine power. I’ve only cultivated to the first level, but my physical strength is already comparable to an inferior-grade profound armament. If 1 reach the ninth level, even superior-grade profound armaments won’t be able to hurt me at all!”
The prerequisite for cultivating the Golden Wheel Lightning Tome was to have both metal and water spiritual essence and at least a second-grade spirit meridian. The cultivation conditions were very demanding.
However, once it was successfully cultivated, its power would be extremely shocking!
Lin Shen was a human. If a demon who was born more suitable for Body Tempering cultivation techniques were to cultivate the Golden Wheel Lightning Tome, its power would undoubtedly be even more shocking.
Even so, if he cultivated the Golden Wheel Lightning Tome to Perfection, this cultivation technique alone was enough to make him invincible in the Spirit Nurturing Stage.
In addition, in the past month, he also reached Beginner in Nether Yin Heavy Water.
Lin Shen focused his gaze and saw a drop of water that looked like black jade floating in his chest.
It was the Nether Yin Heavy Water that he had spent more than ten days to condense.
The condensation of the Nether Yin Heavy Water wasn’t any easier than cultivating the Golden Wheel Lightning Tome.
Apart from needing 36 mouthfuls of spiritual essence to condense the Nether Yin Heavy Water, it would be best if he could cultivate in a place with abundant Yin energy. Only then would he be able to achieve twice the results with half the effort.
Although water on Goldstream Isle was abundant, there was very little Yin energy. Strictly speaking, it wasn’t a good place to cultivate the Nether Yin Heavy Water.
However, Lin Shen couldn’t find a suitable place to cultivate for the time being, so he could only make do.
Although the condensation speed was a little slow, three clones worked day and night, and it took more than ten days to condense a drop of Nether Yin Heavy Water.
This drop of water was only the size of a thumb, but according to the records, this drop alone had tremendous power. Lin Shen had never tried it, so he still didn’t know how powerful it was.
Calming himself down, Lin Shen looked at the void in front of him.
[Name: Lin Shen]
[Talent: Pure Yang Body, Sword Spirit Self]
[Stage: Level 1 Spirit Nurturing Stage, 78%]
[Cultivation technique: Supreme Secret Technique (Level 1,12% ), Golden
Wheel Lightning Tome (Level 1, 21%), Nether Yin Heavy Water (Level 1,14%)…]
[Number of clones: 7 (51%)]
Lin Shen was very satisfied with the effect of the Nine Cauldron Pill.
One pill could increase his cultivation progress by 5%.
With a bottle of Nine Cauldrons Pills and a month of cultivation, he was not far from breaking through to the second level of the Spirit Nurturing Stage.
If news of this cultivation speed spread, it would be enough to shock many cultivator masters to the point that their jaws dropped.
However, Lin Shen had asked Xia Mengran about it. The Nine Cauldron Pill was a high-level pill. Among the pills below the Spirit Pills, the Nine Cauldron Pill was enough to rank in the top ten.
Not every cultivator master could enjoy such a precious pill.
Some cultivators in the sect would fight over a bottle of Nine Cauldron Pills.
That was how Lin Shen knew how precious the bottle of Nine Cauldron Pills Yu Siyu had given him was.
The powerful effects of the pill later also proved its quality.
“It seems like it won’t be easy to obtain the Nine Cauldron Pill.”
Lin Shen shook his head. He put this matter aside for the time being and looked at his talent.
In the past month, the last clone talent had been refreshed nearly 30 times. Unfortunately, he had never been able to obtain a suitable spirit body talent.
And now, it was time to draw talents.
“I hope 1 can get a better talent!”
With a thought, Lin Shen summoned his clone and immediately looked at the talent column.
[Innate Spirit Body: Five Elements Technique/Cultivation Speed +100%, Five Elements Technique/Cultivation Technique Power +50%]
Lin Shen’s eyes immediately lit up.
After refreshing so many times, he finally drew a spirit body that could be used in the Five Elements!
He immediately switched to this talent and tried to cultivate the Supreme Secret Technique. As expected, he realized that his cultivation efficiency had clearly increased.
It was the same when he cultivated the Golden Wheel Lightning Tome.
“This way, even without the Nine Cauldron Pill, I can quickly increase my cultivation!”
Lin Shen was filled with joy.
Together, Natural Spirit Bodies and Geniuse were enough to triple his efficiency in cultivating the Supreme Secret Technique!
It was the same for the Golden Wheel Lightning Tome and the Nether Yin Heavy Water!
This cultivation speed was simply shocking!
Lin Shen’s expression suddenly changed at this moment as he sensed someone approaching from outside the island.
Not long after, a sound came from outside.
“Sun Linmao requests an audience.. Fellow Daoist Lin, please come out!”
