  Chapter 87 Task Selection and Experience

  What happened on the day of the freshman registration quickly spread throughout the entire Jiuyang Daoist Academy like a hurricane, causing an uproar without accident.

  Since the establishment of Jiuyang Taoist Academy, it was the first time that an old student lost to a new student in the guidance battle.

   This is the first time a freshman has defeated two long-breathing disciples in a row in a mentoring battle.

   It was the first time that a freshman became a Xuan-level disciple as soon as he was admitted to the hospital!

   It can be said that Lin Shen set many unprecedented records at once.

  Originally, Lin Shen was already quite well-known in Jiuyang Daoist Academy because of his status as the first chief freshman from a non-family background.

   Now after this battle, her reputation has skyrocketed, and she has become a man of the day in Jiuyang Taoist Academy!

   At the same time, however, many people were very dissatisfied with Lin Shen's unconventional promotion to Xuan-level disciple.

  If it weren't for the fact that it was Si Yuanpei who ordered Lin Shen's promotion, some disciples would have started arguing.

  However, they didn’t dare to protest on the surface, but secretly, there were already many yellow-level disciples gearing up, preparing to challenge Lin Shen in the level challenge three months later, and take his place as a mysterious-level disciple.

   After all, no matter how powerful a freshman is, he is just a freshman.

  With a mere first-level cultivation of the Resting Realm, wouldn’t it be too wasteful not to pinch such a soft persimmon?

   But when the turmoil spread, Lin Shen, the person involved, kept his ears to the outside world and was completely immersed in his cultivation.

  【Name: Lin Shen】

  【Talent: Heaven is jealous of talents】

  【Realm: 82% on the second floor of long breath】

[Cultivation techniques: Golden Crow Sutra (5% mastery), Blazing Sun Palm (perfect), Like a Shadow (perfect), Soldiers Melting Hand (76% mastery), Cloud Piercer Dragon Song (54% mastery), Forbidden Golden Armor (45% mastery) , Lianfanshu (proficient in 12%)]

  【The number of clones is 5 (20%)】

  After ten days of practice, Lin Shen not only successfully broke through to the second level of the Long Breathing Realm, but also successfully promoted the Golden Crow Sutra to the Mastery Realm.

  The rest of the martial arts have also improved to varying degrees.

  Forbidden Golden Armor even broke through to the proficient level with the help of Xuan Gu Ye!

   And the progress of martial arts almost reached half!

   "This mysterious bone liquid is really easy to use, but unfortunately there are only five drops."

   "It seems that there is also black bone liquid in the Academy of Merit that can be exchanged?"

  Lin Shen recalled that Xuan Bone Yee was a drop of twenty meritorious service.

  He calculated in his heart that if there were another twenty or thirty drops of Xuan Bone Liquid, he should be able to cultivate the Forbidden Golden Armor to the perfection state within a month.

  But after thinking about it, Lin Shen finally gave up on this tempting idea.

  At present, there are still many places that need to use meritorious deeds, and they cannot be consumed in exchange for black bone liquid.

  After all, even if there is no profound bone liquid, the Forbidden Golden Armor can be cultivated to the perfection level, and it will take a little more time at most.

  Besides, he also has the talent of proving the way by killing, which can quickly improve the realm of martial arts.

   "After breaking through to the second floor of the Long Breath Realm, the effect of the Ningzhen Pill has also declined."

   "A Ningzhen Pill can only increase the progress of cultivation by 2%. It seems that it can reach the fifth floor of the Long Breathing Realm at most. The Ningzhen Pill probably has no effect."

  Lin Shen remembered another kind of elixir that he had seen in the Academy of Merit before—Hunyuan Dan.

  It is more effective than Ningzhen Pill, and it is also a precious medicine that is suitable for long-breathing practitioners to assist their cultivation.

   It’s just that the price is astonishingly high, only 50 merit points can be exchanged for one, which is more than ten times that of Ningzhen Pill!

  With his current wealth, he can't afford it for the time being.

   Shaking his head, Lin Shen got up and left the wooden building, preparing to fill his stomach first.

   In order to facilitate the disciples to eat, there are multiple canteens in Jiuyang Daoyuan.

   One of them happened to be near a residential area.

  The canteen provides a wide variety of food, delicious, and more importantly, free.

  The supply of meat is open, and disciples can take whatever they want.

   Of course, it is limited to ordinary meat.

  If you want to eat spirit beast meat, you need to pay merit points.

  Even the cafeteria can provide more energy, even for long-breathing practitioners, it has a good effect, and it can strengthen the true energy of monster meat.

  It's just that the price of tens of hundreds of points per catty makes many disciples discouraged.

  After breaking through to the Long Breath Realm, Lin Shen can only fill his stomach no matter how much ordinary meat he eats.

  If you want to improve your cultivation efficiency, you must at least eat spirit beast meat.

  So these days he spent a lot of merit points to buy spirit beast meat for three meals a day.

  After ten days, Lin Shen only had three minor merit points left in his hands, and the merit points had already been spent.

   "You have to take on a few missions, otherwise you'll have nothing to do if you go on like this."

  After dinner, Lin Shen did not go to the Academy of Merit, but rushed towards the Academy of Internal Affairs.

  As soon as he stepped into the gate of the Internal Affairs Court, he bumped into a young man walking towards him.

  When the other party saw Lin Shen, he was taken aback for a moment, then smiled in surprise, and hurried up to meet him.

   "Brother Lin, what business do you need to come to the Internal Affairs Court?"

  Lin Shen was startled: "You know me?"

   "Of course!" The young man rubbed his hands together and laughed, "Brother Lin is now a big celebrity in the Taoist Academy. Everyone in the Taoist Academy knows it. How can anyone not recognize you?"

  Being respectfully called senior brother by someone obviously much older than himself, Lin Shen was really not used to it, so he casually said a few polite words, expressing his intentions.

   "Deacon Tao? He seems to be inside. Brother Lin, wait a minute, I'll tell Deacon Tao right away!"

  After speaking, the young man left in a hurry without even saying his name.

  Lin Shen couldn't help laughing.

  After only waiting for a moment, Tao Zongbao rushed over in strides, and cupped his hands at Lin Shen with a smile on his face from a distance of seven or eight meters.

   "Haha, Fellow Daoist Lin, long time no see. I was talking about you yesterday when I was chatting with Kou Ming. How are you doing?"

   "I'm sorry to trouble Deacon Tao and Senior Brother Kou. I've been busy practicing recently, so I haven't been out much." Lin Shen smiled and nodded.

   "Cultivation is good, Lin Daoyou is full of talents, it is time to focus on cultivation, and the future must have a bright future!"

  Tao Zongbao didn’t think it was disgusting, he said a lot of good things, and then he smiled and asked:

   "Your Lin Daoyou came to the Internal Affairs Court for something. If you need to use me, just ask!"

   "There is really one thing I need to bother Deacon Tao."

  Lin Shen considered his language and asked slowly:

   "Does Deacon Tao have a way to get rare herbs or elixirs that have powerful side effects but can speed up the efficiency of cultivation, such as snake youlan and boiling blood powder?"

  Tao Zongbao froze for a moment, as if he had thought of something, showing an extremely weird expression.

   "Fellow Daoist Lin, your aptitude is so strong that even the director of the department appreciates it very much. As long as you practice step by step and steadily, you will become a monk one day. Even if you fall into a trough for a while, you will be able to make a comeback sooner or later. There is really no need to take risks."

   At other times, Tao Zongbao wouldn't think too much about it.

  However, the news about Lin Shen has been spreading a lot lately. Many Huang-level disciples even threatened in public that they would replace Lin Shen as Xuan-level disciples in three months.

  Two and one make do, Tao Zongbao immediately thought that Lin Shen couldn't bear the pressure, so he wanted to take a shortcut to improve his strength, so as to keep his place as a Xuan-level disciple in the level challenge three months later.

  Seeing Tao Zongbao's hesitant to speak, Lin Shen didn't know that the other party wanted to diverge, so he hurriedly said:

   "Deacon Tao, I didn't find these things for my own use, but for other purposes!"

   This statement is not false, after all, Lin Shen is not using those things.

  Seeing that Lin Shen's eyes were clear and serious, and he didn't look like he was trying to hide it, Tao Zongbao was relieved.

  Thinking about it, Lin Shen doesn't look like such an impulsive person, how could he risk his own future?

   All doubts in his heart disappeared, Tao Zongbao smiled again, thought for a while and said:

   "Although this kind of thing is rare, many disciples in the Taoist academy have bought it unintentionally when they were training outside, but because of the low cost performance, it has always been difficult to get rid of it. If someone is willing to buy it, I think they will not refuse it, but"

  Lin Shenxin understood, and immediately said: "I can buy it with merit!"

   Tao Zongbao smiled deeply when he heard the words.

   "Then there's no problem, fellow Daoist Lin, don't worry, I promise to ask for a fair price for you!"

   "Trouble Deacon Tao!"

   Both of them tacitly did not discuss the price difference.

  Since you are bothering someone to help, you must give the other party a little favor.

  Lin Shen doesn't care what price Tao Zongbao will buy things from others, as long as the final price given to him does not exceed psychological expectations.

   Besides, he didn't think Tao Zongbao would be so stupid as to offend himself for a little benefit.

  If he were to be so short-sighted, Tao Zongbao would not be able to climb up to the position of deacon of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

   Coming out of the Internal Affairs Court, Lin Shen breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of joy on his face.

   After several searches by Mr. Wu, most of the rare herbs and elixir that have similar effects to the condensed essence in Heijie have basically entered the stomach of Clone No. 2.

  In recent times, Old Man Wu has collected less and less exotic herbs and elixir each time.

   It can be foreseen that it won't be long before there are not many similar rare herbs and elixirs on the black street.

  That's why Lin Shen turned his idea to Jiuyang Daoyuan.

   It is disappointing that there is no similar item on the exchange list of the Academy of Merit.

   Most likely because few disciples would exchange such things, and the monastery didn’t want to see disciples taking shortcuts with these things, so they simply removed them from the list.

   At this time, Kou Ming introduced Tao Zongbao to Lin Shen.

  Lin Shen had an idea at that time, and had the idea of ​​asking the other party to find him.

  That's why there is today's House of Internal Affairs and his party.

   And Tao Zongbao didn't disappoint Lin Shen, he patted his chest and agreed.

   It is worth mentioning that it is forbidden to trade meritorious deeds among disciples in Jiuyang Daoyuan.

  However, there are policies and countermeasures, meritorious deeds cannot be traded, so the items exchanged for meritorious deeds can always be traded.

  The Daoist Academy can’t prohibit the trading of items between disciples, can it?

  So the meritorious transaction in disguise came into being.

   "You must earn a lot of merit as soon as possible!"

   In order to trade enough exotic herbs or elixir, Lin Shen's current three minor skills are obviously far from enough.

  Thinking of this, Lin Shen immediately rushed to the Academy of Merit without stopping.

   Came to the mission hall again, where there are densely packed wooden signs as always.

  Lin Shen concentrated his energy and searched carefully among the wooden signs.

  Intelligence missions were first ruled out by him.

  The uncertainty of this type of mission is too great, in case of unexpected danger, it is too late to cry!

   Followed by the on-duty tasks, which were also decisively abandoned by Lin Shen.

   Not to mention the low rewards for this type of task, it takes a long time, and safety is safe, but the price/performance ratio is too low.

   Eliminate the two types of quests, and the only ones left are collection and crusade.

  The former does not need to pick up the task on the spot, you can wait until you get something, and then take the corresponding wooden token to complete the task.

  So Lin Shen's attention is mainly on crusade tasks.

   Most of the crusade missions are located outside the city.

  Linlong City is adjacent to the Longyuan Mountains, and is surrounded by continuous mountains in the north and east, hence the name Linlong.

  In this vast mountain range, there are many monster tribes and countless monsters and monsters.

   Therefore, the targets of most crusade missions are the monsters and monsters in the Longyuan Mountains.

  The rest are the monsters living in the vast lakes and swamps to the west of Linlong City, and the wilderness to the east.

  Lin Shen focused on the tasks related to Longyuan Mountain Range.

   After all, compared with the lakes and swamps in the west and the wilderness in the east of the city, there is no doubt that there are more treasures in the Longyuan Mountains.

  With a treasure hunting instrument like Xiao Ai, Lin Shen must make good use of it.

  ‘Going to the Longyuan Mountains to kill a white-winged demon tiger, you need to get back the tiger’s spine as a certificate, and ask for a long-breathing cultivation base, and you will be rewarded for a small reward! '

  'To clear the mountain swarms entrenched on Huohe Mountain, you need to get back the head of the leader of the scorpion as a certificate, and ask for a long-breathing state cultivation base, and reward three small meritorious deeds! '

  ‘Going to the Longyuan Mountains to kill the Hundred-Headed Arrowbird, you need to get back its sharp beak as a certificate, and ask for a long-breathing cultivation base, and you will be rewarded with two small merits’

  After some busy work, Lin Shen quickly selected five tasks, and took the wooden sign to the counter near the entrance of the main hall.

  The person behind the counter is still the girl who registered for him last time.

  Seeing Lin Shen, the girl's eyes lit up.

  Last time she didn't recognize Lin Shen, she just felt that he was very unfamiliar.

   It wasn’t until I heard about the mentoring competition later that I realized that the person I met that day was this year’s freshman chief!

   Now that she meets Lin Shen again, the girl naturally recognizes her right away, and immediately chats with Lin Shen with a smile, one by one senior brother Lin.

  Lin Shen was also happy to chat with the beauties, chatting casually while registering.

   Until then, he didn't know the girl's name was Jiao Yu.

   "Okay, Senior Brother Lin, the task has been registered, and after completing the task, just bring the voucher and hand it over."

   "This is the order to leave the city. It needs to be returned after completing the task. Only one person can leave the city, and the time limit is at most one month. After that, it will become invalid. If there are still tasks that have not been completed by then, you can come to me to replace them."

   "In addition, this is the map of Longyuan Mountains. Every disciple who accepts the task outside the city for the first time can get a map for free!"

  Jiao Yu handed over a map.

  The terrain trend of the Longyuan Mountains is drawn in detail above, and the location distribution of various monster tribes and monster groups are also marked.

  The closer to the outer mountain range, the more detailed the marked information.

  Lin Shen was overjoyed when he saw this. He was wondering where to buy a map of the Longyuan Mountain Range, but he didn't expect the Daoist Temple to be so considerate and gave a copy for free.

   "The map is updated every three months, after which it needs to be purchased with merit."

  Jiao Yu thoughtfully reminded me again.

   "In addition, I suggest you buy some talismans such as flying feather talismans, light body talismans, and road guide talismans, which may be useful outside!"

"Thanks!"

  Lin Shen thanked Jiao Yu with a smile.

  Leaving from the mission hall, he turned around and went to the exchange hall again, where he exchanged a little work for a beast sac.

  The Beast Sac is a talisman, which can be used as a temporary shelter for monsters, making it convenient for practitioners to take the monsters outside.

   Considering that Xiao Ai will be accompanied by Xiao Ai to hunt for treasures when going out for training, it will undoubtedly be much more convenient to have a beast sac.

   As for the talisman that Jiao Yu mentioned, Lin Shen was going to Zhenwu Pavilion to spend spirit coins to buy it, so he would not waste his meritorious service.
