Chapter 180: Not Fair (1)

A month later.

In the training room, Lin Shen looked at the interface in front of him and smiled from the bottom of his heart.

[Name: Lin Shen]

[Talent: Analogy]

[Stage: Bright Aperture Level 2, 22%]

[Cultivation techniques: Nine Yang Scripture (Proficient 4%), Meltdown (Path 30%), Forbidden Golden Armor (Path 10%), Cloud Dragon Rhythm (Path 0%), Nine Divine Sun Sword (Path 0%)…]

[Spells: Seven Arts Sword Energy (Level 1, 23%)]

[Number of clones: 6 (82%)]

After a month of cultivation, he finally mastered the Seven Arts Sword Energy.

Unlike martial arts, spells weren’t divided into Beginner, Proficient, Mastery, Perfection, and so on. There were only levels.

Moreover, each spell had a different number of levels.

For example, the Seven Arts Sword Energy had a total of seven levels.

Every time he reached a higher level, there would be an additional streak of sword energy.

When he reached the seventh level, seven streaks of sword energy would be released at the same time. Even iron and hard rocks would be reduced to dust!

In just three days of cultivation, Lin Shen had used 25kg of black iron.

Towards the end, he simply handed the Seven Arts Sword Energy to his clone to cultivate while he focused on cultivating the Nine Yang Scripture.

If he were to cultivate on his own, he would probably have to consume 200 to 300 kg of black iron to reach his current progress. It would be worth more than a thousand merit points!

“No wonder people say that cultivating spells costs a lot of money!” Lin Shen couldn’t help but sigh.

Any other cultivator would probably have to spend dozens or hundreds of minor merits to cultivate a spell to the third or fourth level.

Even for Bright Aperture Stage cultivators, it was quite a burden.

Shaking his head, Lin Shen restrained his distracting thoughts and returned his attention to the interface.

Apart from the Seven Arts Sword Energy, with sufficient Spirit Nurturing Pills, he had also successfully broken through to the second level of the Bright Aperture Stage. He had even advanced his cultivation by more than 20%.

Even the Nine Yang Scripture had reached Proficient.

In addition, two palm techniques had also reached Perfection, increasing the progress of Meltdown by 10%.

“Cultivation, martial techniques, spells… I feel like there are still many things to cultivate. I still don’t have enough clones!”

Lin Shen thought greedily.

He looked at the interface. He was still 18% away from condensing his new clone, which meant that he still needed to wait another 36 days.

“Just a little more than a month. I’m getting there!”

After closing the interface, Lin Shen got up from the ground, stretched, and left the training room.

He had been in the academy for almost three months. It was time to go out. He wondered how Ai was doing.

Fortunately, just in case, he had left a lot of canned cat food in the villa. She probably wouldn’t starve.

In addition, he had to test his clones.

Lin Shen was very curious. After advancing to the Bright Aperture Stage, what would happen when he let the clones out?

The Nine Yang Academy wasn’t a good place to take the test. He had to go somewhere else.

Before leaving, Lin Shen went to the Internal Affairs Department to look for Tao Zongbao.

As expected, after a month, Tao Zongbao had already completed Lin Shen’s request. He had even paid those disciples with his own merit points and traded the natural treasures Lin Shen needed in advance. He was just waiting for him to come and collect them.

This saved Lin Shen a lot of time.

He couldn’t help but feel amazed. Deacon Tao really knew how to treat his clients.

Lin Shen wasn’t a stingy person. The treasures he had collected were worth a total of three minor merits and 218 merit points. He simply gave Tao Zongbao a Flame Spirit Pill.

The nominal value of the two was about the same.

However, the Flame Spirit Pills could only be exchanged with medium merits. If one were to be precise, its value was definitely higher than three minor merits and 200 merit points.

Even if the price was ten minor merits, people would still want to buy that pill.

Tao Zongbao was so happy that he couldn’t stop grinning. He felt that it was the right decision to cozy up to Lin Shen.

Back at the villa in the Eastern District.

Unexpectedly, Ai wasn’t at home.

What surprised Lin Shen even more was that the living room wasn’t filled with empty cans. Instead, it was clean and tidy. It was obvious that someone had carefully cleaned it not long ago.

“Ai doesn’t like to clean up.”

After some thought, Lin Shen had a vague idea.

Only the spirit cats of Sinking Moon would make Ai willingly go with them.

Lin Shen wasn’t worried about what they would do to Ai, so he threw the question to the back of his mind.

It wasn’t easy to test his clone in broad daylight, so Lin Shen sat down in the living room to cultivate. He would wait until it was dark.

After half an hour, he already had an idea of the changes in the clone after advancing to the Bright Aperture Stage.

The first was the zero consumption distance. It had increased from about six hundred meters to about a thousand meters. It had almost doubled!

Next was the range of activity of individual clones.

At a position, about 3,000 meters away from Lin Shen, a single clone could last for about five minutes.

However, after the distance was extended to 5,000 meters, the duration of its existence would drop sharply to about a minute.

Compared to the Long Breath Stage, the clone’s freedom of movement and duration had clearly increased significantly

This was especially true for the 1,000-metcr zero consumption distance. This meant that Lin Shen could do many things more easily in the future.

“If there are enough pills to recover spiritual essence and energy, it shouldn’t be a problem for the clone to last for more than ten minutes at a position of about 3,000 meters from me!”

Lin Shen rubbed the storage ring on his finger and smiled.

There happened to be a large number of medicinal pills from Jing Hai in his storage ring. Among them were Energy Recovery Pills and Origin Recovery Pills that could restore one’s spiritual essence. Moreover, there were many of them..
