Five days later.

At the east gate of Dragonside City.

Lin Shen walked out of the city gate and arrived at the agreed meeting place. Apart from him, everyone else was already there.

“I’m sorry to have kept you waiting!11

Xie Jingsheng welcomed him and waved his hand with a smile.

“Therers still half an hour before the agreed time. You’re not late.”

The few 1 leaven-rank disciples immediately spoke in unison.

“We’re here early.”

“Senior Brother Lin, don’t worry.”

They were all smiles as they looked at Lin Shen with a faint fawning gaze.

After the battle with Yan Jingren, Lin Shen had become publicly acknowledged as the second strongest disciple in the academy after Shen Zening.

Furthermore, although he was the second strongest, Lin Shen entered the academy three years after Shen Zening.

Three years later, if nothing went wrong, Lin Shen’s strength and cultivation would definitely surpass the current Shen Zening.

From this point of view, Lin Shen’s future was clearly much brighter than Shen Zening’s.

The disciples of the lower house couldn’t wait to curry favor with him. How could they throw a tantrum over such a small matter?

Lin Shen knew what these people were thinking, but he didn’t care. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he looked at the others.

He met Mu Chuanhua and Fu Weifang when they surrounded Yan Jingren that day.

Most of the remaining ten Heaven-rank disciples looked unfamiliar.

This was also because Lin Shen spent most of his time in the academy cultivating. Apart from Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian, he barely interacted with anyone. Therefore, he knew very few people.

However, he had some impression of one person.

It was Ai Jingting, whom he had met once on Mount Firon.

He remembered that she had even used 13 Prime Pills to exchange for Mountain Phantom’s hair.

Seeing Lin Shen look over, Ai Jingting nodded slightly at him. “Long time no see, Senior Brother Lin.”

As soon as she said this, Ai Jingting found it hard to describe her feelings.

She still remembered that when she met Lin Shen a year ago, he was only a Black-rank disciple and had to call her Senior Sister.

Who would have thought that when they met again today, he would already be a disciple of the upper house? Moreover, he was a peerless genius in the academy. The status and form of address between them had also been reversed. Lt was really hard to describe the feeling.

Lin Shen didn’t think too much about it. He nodded in return before looking away.

Since everyone had arrived, Xie Jingsheng didn’t delay any longer and announced, “Everyone, let’s set off now.”

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and everyone suddenly felt their vision darken. A flying ship had appeared out of thin air in front of them.

The flying ship was thirty to forty meters long and more than ten meters tall. There was a ferocious dragon head at the front and two crocodile tails at the back. In the middle was a three-story building that looked quite elegant.

The group of Heaven-rank disciples was shocked by the sudden appearance of the flying ship.

When they came back to their senses, a disciple’s eyes lit up, and he said with a burning gaze, “Senior Brother Xie, is this the Dragon Tooth Flying Ship?”

Xie Jingsheng glanced ar him and nodded with a smile. “Yes.”

Hearing this, the Heaven-rank disciples were envious and amazed.

The Dragon Tooth Flying Ship was a profound armament-grade flying Dharma treasure. Although it couldn’t compare to the famous Sky Pivot Flying Palace of the Nine Suns Sect, it was still a rare treasure.

In the Nine Suns Sect, only cultivator masters were qualified to possess it.

Xie Jingsheng’s flying ship was obviously borrowed from his Master.

He had most likely borrowed it from Master Si because their destination was in the depths of the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range.

With this Dragon Tooth Flying Ship, not only could they quickly reach their destination, but they would also be incomparably safe along the way.

The restrictions on the Dragon Tooth Flying Ship were enough to withstand the attacks of any demon that hadn’t become a demon cultivator yet.

Surprised, everyone boarded the Dragon Tooth Flying Ship.

“Everyone, take a break. We ll reach our destination in two hours at most,” Xie Jingsheng said with a smile.

Everyone sat down.

Lin Shen sat beside Xie Jingsheng and chatted with him in a low voice. As he spoke, he asked about Ai Jingting’s background.

It wasn’t that Lin Shen was interested in Ai Jingting’s beauty, but he had long discovered that almost all the Heaven-rank disciples who were going to the spirit cave this time were at the Bright Aperture Stage. Only Ai Jingting was at the Long Breath Stage.

This made Lin Shen wonder if Ai Jingting had some background and had taken a shortcut.

Xie Jingsheng laughed and shook his head when he heard that. He explained, “Junior Sister Ai really has a background. However, she relied on her own ability to obtain a spot to enter the spirit cave this time.”

“What do you mean?” Lin Shen was instantly interested.

“You’re usually focused on cultivating and don’t pay much attention to the academy’s matters, right?” Xie Jingsheng said with a smile. “Junior Sister Ai is quite famous in the academy. She’s extremely talented in alchemy and is the most outstanding genius alchemist in the academy!

“Although she’s only at the Long Breath Stage, she was able to refine Flame Spirit Pills by herself half a year ago and became an official alchemist. This is unique in the academy. Many alchemists in the alchemy pavilion are even less skilled than her!”

Lin Shen looked at Ai Jingting in surprise. He didn’t expect this gentle-looking girl to be an alchemy genius.

“Then why does she want to enter the spirit cave?” Lin Shen asked.

Alchemists did not care much about cultivation. Even if they wanted to increase their cultivation, logically speaking, they wouldn’t go to a place like a spirit cave where there was a certain level of danger. Wouldn’t it be better to use pills to increase their cultivation safely?

Xie Jingsheng smiled and said, “This is the first time we’ve entered a spirit cave, so we know nothing about the situation inside. It’s best to find someone familiar with rhe spirit cave to travel with. Junior Sister Ai’s Master has entered the spirit cave many times and knows a lot about it, so 1 asked Junior Sister Ai to ask her Master for advice..”
