Dragon Fang Flying Ship.

In the cabin.

Qu Ke and Shen Zening had yet to recover from their shock. Their expressions were adrift, and it was hard to tell what they were thinking. From time to time, they would glance at Lin Shen strangely.

Lin Shen didn’t seem to notice it. He looked around the exquisite and elegant decorations in the cabin with interest.

When he felt that Qu Ke and Shen Zening were about to recover from the astonishment, he sat opposite them and smiled at them across the coffee table.

“Senior Brothers, I came in a hurry this time. 1 still don’t know much about the Xuandu Meeting. Can you tell me a little bit more about it?”

“Of course.”

Qu Ke came back to his senses and immediately smiled.

After witnessing Lin Shen’s strength, he became more and more optimistic about this junior brother’s future and wanted to befriend him even more. With such an opportunity to get closer to Lin Shen, Qu Ke naturally wouldn’t miss it.

After some deliberation, Qu Ke explained carefully.

“The Xuandu meeting has been held on Mount Xuandu, which is 50 miles west of Wood Ancestor City. It’s said that this mountain is rich in spiritual essence and is extremely suitable for wood-type natural treasures to grow. There are even many wood spirits living there. The Mystic Essence Liquid comes from one of the wood spirits called the Mystic Essence Wood Spirit!”

Mystic Essence Wood Spirit!

Lin Shen’s expression changed slightly.

Strictly speaking, plant spirits were also a type of demon.

However, compared to ordinary demons, it was even more difficult for plant spirits to gain enlightenment and transcend human tribulations.

A spirit herb would usually take hundreds or even thousands of years to have a chance of awakening its intelligence.

After awakening their intelligence, they often needed to cultivate for hundreds or thousands of years before they could transcend human tribulation and step onto the immortal path.

That was just the spirit herbs and spirit woods. It was thousands of times more difficult for ordinary plants to awaken their intelligence and transcend human tribulation!

The only advantage of plant spirits over ordinary demons was that they had a longer lifespan.

Of course, this didn’t mean that they had enough time to cultivate.

For cultivators, whether they were human cultivators or demon cultivators, plants that had become spirits were great supplements!

Therefore, many plant spirits were often captured by cultivators to refine pills and medicine before they could grow up.

Those who were lucky enough not to be captured spent most of their time dodging and escaping. If they weren’t careful, their cultivation career would end.

The plant spirit was one of the most miserable races among the many demons!

“The Xuandu Meeting is held once every three years for a month. Only cultivators with the Xuandu Token can enter.

“Once the meeting begins, the mountain-protecting array will be closed. Those on Xuandu Mountain, even cultivator masters, won’t be able to leave. During this period, everything that the participants obtain on the mountain will belong to them. The Mystic Spirit Sect won’t interfere.”

After that, Qu Ke told Lin Shen more about the Xuandu Meeting.

Most of the information came from the senior brothers and sisters who had participated in the Xuandu Meeting in the past.

Although not all of them were useful, Lin Shen still listened with great interest.

After chatting for a long time, the three of them returned to their rooms at night.

The journey was boring. In the following days, the three of them took a few hours each day to chat and spent the rest time cultivating in their rooms.

Lin Shen’s cultivation level was temporarily frozen, and his martial techniques had already reached the highest stage. Only the Five Qi Suppression, Shadow-staying Technique, and Water Mirror Technique had room for improvement.

He had already used up all his Cast Spirit Pills and couldn’t condense more spirit meridians.

Therefore, he cultivated the remaining three spells with his clones.

According to his estimation, he should be able to reach perfection in all three spells before they arrived at Wood Ancestor City.

After that, he could only continue cultivating after obtaining the Mystic Essence Liquid and breaking through the current stage.

Lin Shen didn’t expect to encounter a situation where he couldn’t cultivate.

In the past, he only felt that there were too few clones to cultivate all his skills.

In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

The Dragon Fang Flying Ship was already very close to the depths of the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range.

According to the original plan, the ship didn’t enter this dangerous area. Instead, it took a long detour.

Along the way, they encountered many flying demons. However, with the protective barrier of the Dragon Fang Flying Ship, these demons couldn’t do anything to the ship. After chasing for a while, they left resentfully.

Lin Shen and the other two weren’t bothered by them.

Just like that, two days passed quietly.

However, just as the ship was about to leave the depths of the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range, Lin Shen, who was resting in his room, suddenly felt the floor tremble violently. He couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.

With the stability of the ship, even if it was attacked by demons, such a situation shouldn’t have happened.

Unless they were attacked by a force that was close to the limit of the protective barrier.

Lin Shen’s eyes narrowed, and he immediately stood up and walked out of the cabin.

On the deck, Qu Ke and Shen Zening had already arrived and were looking outside with furrowed brows.

Following their gazes, Lin Shen was slightly stunned.

A group of strange-looking demons had surrounded the ship.

These demons looked like owls with pheasant bodies and dog tails, but they had human faces.

They had wings on their backs and sharp claws on their arms.

“Those are human-faced owls!”

Lin Shen immediately recognized the demons.

The human-faced owl was an Enlightening Stage spiritual beast that had the power to control the wind. It usually appeared in the depths of the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range and rarely left the periphery.

“Why are the human-faced owls here?” Lin Shen muttered to himself in confusion.

“It’s the Eagle Tribe!” Qu Ke suddenly said, “Only the Eagle Tribe can drive the human-faced owls out of the activity area and to the periphery of the mountain range!”
