  Chapter 17 Notes

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!

  The empty fighting room echoed with crisp beating sounds, occasionally accompanied by the crisp sound of ceramics cracking.

  Yang Zhongyi shot lightning with both palms, forming an impenetrable palm shadow curtain, wrapped in fiery air waves, covering Lin Shen's whole body.

  Facing the opponent's sharp attack like a storm, Lin Shen always looked calm, standing like a rock in the wind and waves.

  He moved nimbly to avoid Yang Zhongyi's palm strike, and if he couldn't dodge it, he quickly adjusted his movements to take the attack with the intact part of the reinforced ceramic plate on his body to minimize the damage he received.

   After practicing against each other for another four or five minutes, the two suddenly backed away in tacit understanding and opened up the distance.

   "Cool! Let's take a break."

  Yang Zhongyi took the towel from the shelf, wiped off his sweat, and threw another one to Lin Shen casually.

  Watching Lin Shen take off the protective cover to wipe the sweat off his face, Yang Zhongyi couldn't help feeling emotional.

  Compared to the fact that Lin Shen could barely last for an hour when he was just a sparring partner, now Lin Shen has been able to last for two hours under his full attack.

  Although there is credit for the double protection of the shield, this combat power is also quite outstanding.

   At least Yang Zhongyi has never met an ordinary student like Lin Shen.

   "Speaking of which, why haven't you come to the martial arts gym for the past few days? I almost thought you had given up your part-time job."

   While wiping his sweat, Yang Zhongyi chatted casually with Lin Shen.

   "I've been busy moving these days, and I just finished my work yesterday."

  Yang Zhongyi suddenly realized.

  In fact, Lin Shen didn't know that Yang Zhongyi was also a student of Huailiu College until recently.

  Just like other children from aristocratic families, Yang Zhongyi seldom goes to the academy, and spends more time in the Taiyang Martial Arts Academy than in the academy, so Lin Shen didn't recognize him at first.

   After chatting for more than ten minutes, Yang Zhongyi made a chest expansion movement, then looked at Lin Shen, raised his eyebrows and said:

   "Have a good rest, continue?"

  Lin Shen nodded, and suddenly said: "Can I fight back next?"

  Yang Zhongyi was startled, and then grinned.

   "Okay, no problem, as long as you are not afraid of being beaten down by me!"

  Lin Shen smiled slightly and got up to prepare.

  The thrilling battle with Tian Dian that night made Lin Shen deeply aware of one of his weaknesses—too little combat experience!

   After all, he is just a student, and he practiced step by step on weekdays, and the practice class was just to practice palm routines. It can be said that he has no combat experience at all.

  Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to sacrifice clone No. 2 to kill Tian Dian while taking the lead in the sneak attack that night.

  In view of this, Lin Shen felt that he should improve this weakness.

  After much deliberation, only the sparring with Yang Zhongyi can achieve this goal.

  Although it is just a sparring, not a fight, it can at least increase a little combat experience.

  The premise is that he can fight back in sparring, rather than simply defending.

  After a little preparation, the two soon started a new round of sparring.

  The protective gear provided by Taiyang Wuguan is exquisitely made. Although it weighs more than ten kilograms after adding reinforced ceramic inserts, it does not affect the movement of the limbs. Except for a slight reduction in speed, it does not affect the ability to attack and parry.

  When he heard Lin Shen's request to fight back, Yang Zhongyi still felt that Lin Shen had overestimated himself, and he just agreed because he thought it was interesting.

   But after the fight, he suddenly realized that he had underestimated Lin Shen.

  Especially when Lin Shen used the Blazing Sun Palm, it surprised him even more.

   "Proficient in Realm Blazing Sun Palm!"

  Yang Zhongyi gave Lin Shen a surprised look.

  He thinks that he has outstanding talent and has sufficient supply of training resources, so far he has only cultivated the Blazing Yang Palm to the level of proficiency.

  Who would have thought that Lin Shen, an ordinary student from an orphanage, would be able to practice Blazing Yang Palm to the same level as him.

   "Is this guy actually a genius?"

  After being surprised, Yang Zhongyi's heart suddenly ignited with a fierce fighting spirit, he shouted loudly, and the offensive became more and more fierce.

  Dinner was still a sumptuous feast of spirit beast meat. Lin Shen and the three avatars wiped out all the food like a storm, and began to meditate as usual.

  After finishing breathing, the three avatars practiced separately, while Lin Shen took out the notes left by Honda Dian in the jade talisman, and sat on the sofa to read them quietly.

  The content recorded in the notes is a bit messy, including not only the perception and understanding of cultivation, but also some of Tian Dian's daily experience.

  Although Tian Dian's cultivation method is not any of the three foundational methods, he has learned by analogy during the journey of martial arts, and his perception and understanding are also of great reference to Lin Shen.

  But what attracted Lin Shen more was what he saw in his notes.

   Especially the black market mentioned in it!

  Just as there is light, there is darkness. No matter how prosperous a city is, there are dark corners where light cannot shine.

  Longlong City is no exception.

   Among the five major districts of Linlong City, the most prosperous central area is the core area of ​​the entire city, where more than 80% of the dignitaries of Linlong City are gathered. It is said that most of the monks live there.

   Followed by the West District, which is a business district, and the South District, where the middle class lives concentratedly. The degree of prosperity ranks first among the four major urban areas except the central district.

  Eastern District is a civilian area in the general sense. Lin Shen's previous apartment building and his new residence are all located in the East District.

  Huailiu College is also located in the East District.

  As for the last northern area, it is an industrial area.

  Privately, it is also called a slum by many people.

  Because there are a large number of poor people gathered there, not only is the prosperity far inferior to the other four urban areas, but the security is even more chaotic. The crime rate ranks first among the five major urban areas, and far exceeds the second place.

  In fact, if Lin Shen hadn’t shown a little talent in cultivation since he was a child and received subsidies from the Sanzong Mansion, a person like him who was born in an orphanage would usually end up in the North District.

  Either they will be exploited by big companies or factories all their lives, and live with a meager salary.

  Or fall into darkness, become a rat worm in the gutter, and someday lose your life in a battle.

  Recalling the appearance of the North District in his memory, Lin Shen couldn't help but let out a sigh.

  Calm down, he continued to browse the notes.

  The so-called black market actually refers to a street in the North District.

  The black market is just an outside name. Residents living on that street are more accustomed to calling the place where they live a black street.

  There is a gray area wandering on the edge of the law, with a unique order and style.

  In the black street, you can buy many items that are prohibited from circulation outside.

   For example, a elixir with both significant effects and powerful side effects.

  A cursed artifact.

  The media materials needed to practice some kind of evil skills.

  A rare and rare herb of unknown origin.

   Even, some people's lives!

  Tian Dian obviously stayed in Heijie for a long time.

  The knowledge about the black street in the notes accounts for almost a quarter of the entire diary.

  Lin Shen watched with relish.

  Although the orphanage he used to work in was in the North District, he had never been to Heijie.

  This will see the description on the note, and I feel like I have gained a lot of knowledge.

  When he saw the last page, Lin Shen's eyes suddenly froze.

  The content of this page is the record that Tian Dian found a medicinal solution called Ningzhenye when he was buying elixir in a shop in Heijie.

  The so-called Ningzhen Liquid is actually a by-product of refining Ningzhen Pill.

   To put it bluntly, it is actually waste liquid.

   Ke Ningzhen Pill is a precious pill used by long-breathing practitioners to increase their true qi. Even the waste liquid contains rich energy, and it still has a good effect on practitioners of Qidynamic Realm.

   On the other hand, the condensed liquid also has huge flaws.

  As a by-product of refining, it is mixed with a lot of impurities. In professional terms, it contains severe erysipelas.

   Can cause irreparable damage to the body of the user, resulting in a shortened lifespan.

   In other words, this is a liquid medicine that trades lifespan for repairs!

   It is precisely because of this that although the efficacy of Ningzhen Liquid is not inferior to that of Quenyuan Pill, few people care about it.

   Except for some desperate practitioners, almost no one would buy this kind of thing.

  Seeing this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Lin Shen's mind.

  Others are afraid of the toxicity of the condensed essence, but he is not!

  He can completely let the avatar take the condensed essence liquid for cultivation.

  Especially Clone No. 2, who possesses the talent of Heaven's Jealousy.

   Anyway, the lifespan has been halved, so it doesn't matter if you cut it a little more.

  Compared to the powerful medicinal effect, the defect of reducing lifespan is not worth mentioning.

   What's more, the condensed essence is very cheap!

  One liter of Condensing True Liquid is as effective as a bottle of Quenyuan Pill, but the price is only 2000 spirit coins, which is not as expensive as a bottle of Quenyuan Pill.

   For Lin Shen, it is synonymous with high quality and low price!

   "There are more than three bottles of Quen Yuan Pill left, which can at most support me to cultivate to the seventh level of aerodynamics. If there is no new elixir by then, the speed of cultivation will definitely drop significantly!"

  Lin Shen's eyes flickered, and he soon became concerned.

   "It seems that I have to find time to go to the Black Street!"
