But if you can enter the spiritual cave to practice, you might be able to achieve your goal within a month.

"As well as Yunlong Law and Shenyang Nine Swords, we must also cultivate to the True Martial Realm as soon as possible!"

Lin Shen made some calculations.

Yunlong Lü still has eleven shortcomings to complete the Qinggong of Shen Dharma.

The Nine Swords of Shenyang still lacks thirteen perfection realm sword techniques.

At his current training speed, if he devotes all his energy to practicing martial arts, he will be able to practice two martial arts to the true martial arts realm in about a month.

And by mastering two more True Martial Realm martial arts, his strength can be increased by at least 10% or 20%, and he will be more confident in entering the spiritual cave to hunt earth spirits.

You must know that spirits like the Earth Soul are not weak - in fact, no spirit living in a place with strong spiritual energy can be weak - the weakest Earth Soul is no worse than the Tongxuan Realm monster clan in terms of strength!

After a while, Lin Shen dismissed his distracting thoughts and settled down to continue practicing, when suddenly something happened in his heart.

Through the talisman, he sensed that someone was visiting from outside.

Lin Shen immediately stood up, left the practice room and came to the outside of the courtyard. With a wave of his hand, the door was opened and he saw Xie Jingsheng standing at the door with a smile.

"Thank you, senior brother."

Xie Jingsheng looked him up and down, smiling deeply.

"Congratulations to Junior Brother Lin for reaching a higher level of cultivation!"

Xie Jingsheng knew that Lin Shen had obtained three golden marrow pills, so he was not surprised that he broke through again in just nine days. However, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Lin Shen's cultivation had already kept pace with him in just over a year since he entered the Taoist Academy.

This qualification is truly unmatched!

After thanking him, Lin Shen welcomed Xie Jingsheng in, and then asked him why he was here.

"I came here to tell you that the sect has sent people to explore the spiritual cave to make sure that nothing is missing. Therefore, starting from today, it will be officially opened to the disciples and they will enter in batches."

"And among the first batch of disciples to enter the spiritual cave, there are you and me!"

Lin Shen was immediately happy when he heard this.

He originally thought he would have to wait a month or two, but he didn't expect to be able to enter the spiritual cave so soon.

"When?" Lin Shen asked hurriedly.

"Just five days later." Xie Jingsheng said, "We will be accompanied by two junior brothers, Mu and Fu, as well as ten heaven-level disciples from the Lower Court."

The junior brother Mu mentioned by Xie Jingsheng refers to Mu Chuanhua.

As for the other junior fellow apprentice Fu, Lin Shen guessed that if nothing unexpected happened, he should be Fu Weifang, who was also a disciple of the Upper Academy.

However, only four upper court disciples had the quota to enter the spiritual cave, which made Lin Shen a little surprised.

"Where are Senior Brother Shen and the others?"

Xie Jingsheng understood what Lin Shen meant and explained: "Everyone else has chores to do, but as for Senior Brother Shen"

Having said this, Xie Jingsheng paused, his eyes flashing with envy and admiration.

"Senior Brother Shen started practicing in seclusion five days ago, preparing to forge his spiritual veins!"

Lin Shen was surprised.

When he saw Shen Zening easily defeating Pingling Monument and rescuing Jiang Hao from Yan Jingren, he guessed that Shen Zening's cultivation must be extremely high, but he did not expect that he was already at the ninth level of Mingqiao and had reached the level where he could forge spiritual veins.

This level of strength is far beyond that of other upper court disciples!

After all, before Lin Shen was promoted to the Upper House, Xie Jingsheng, who ranked second in cultivation, had only reached the sixth level of cultivation, which was three realms lower than Shen Zening.

From this point of view, Shen Zening and other upper court disciples are on completely different levels!

"With Senior Brother Shen's qualifications, at worst he can create a third-grade spiritual vein, and even a second-grade spiritual vein is not impossible!"

Xie Jingsheng's face was filled with undisguised envy.

"Senior Brother Shen will leave the Taoist Academy in about half a year. If he can become a monk before then, then after officially joining the sect, he will be a true disciple. He can reach heaven in one step!"

"True disciple?" Lin Shen looked confused.

Xie Jingsheng patted his forehead and then remembered that Lin Shen probably didn't know these things because of his background, so he patiently recounted:

"When you entered the Taoist Academy, you should have heard about the Taoist rules of eliminating disciples, right?"

Lin Shen nodded.

Of course he had heard of it, Yang Zhongyi told him.

Jiuyang Taoist Academy eliminates the fifty disciples who are at the bottom of the list every year.

In fact, the Taoist Academy eliminated fifty people not long ago.

"Most of the disciples who are eliminated from the Taoist Academy will become the outer disciples of the sect, and this is also the lowest level disciple of the sect. Above this, there are inner disciples and true disciples!"

Xie Jingsheng came slowly.

"Any disciple who can stay in Jiuyang Taoist Academy for five years can join the sect after graduation and become an inner disciple. They will enjoy more resources and learn more powerful techniques than outer disciples!"

"Going further, if you can become a monk within five years, you can immediately graduate from the Taoist Academy and become a true disciple of the sect. The sect will give you a large number of elixir books, heavenly materials, and earthly treasures. If you are lucky, you can get a certain elder.

If you are favored by me and accepted as a disciple, you will almost be able to look down upon your peers among the disciples of the sect!"

Xie Jingsheng's tone was full of yearning.

Lin Shen couldn't help but asked curiously: "So far, how many people in the Taoist academy have become true disciples as soon as they graduate?"

"They are rare." Xie Jingsheng replied without thinking, "Since the establishment of Jiuyang Taoist Temple, there are only three people who can become monks within five years. The most recent one was three years ago."

three years ago?

Lin Shen suddenly remembered a name.

Since entering the Taoist temple, he has heard this name many times.

Before him, this man was the first person to win the title of chief as a disciple of Hanpu.

He even set a record of breaking through the Long Breath Realm two months after entering the Taoist Academy, and it remained unbroken for five years until his arrival.

Lin Shen often heard some disciples comparing him to that man.

"Brother Xie, are you talking about Su Liuying?"

"Have you also heard of Su Liuying?"

Xie Jingsheng glanced at Lin Shen in surprise, but then he thought of something and was relieved.

"That's right, Su Liuying is the third disciple to graduate from the Taoist Academy as a monk and become a true disciple since the Taoist Temple was established. She is also the disciple who has been promoted to a monk in the shortest time, taking less than four years.

!”

"What's more, what she created is an extremely rare second-grade spiritual vein! It can be said to be a unique thing that is rare in a hundred years."

At this point, Xie Jingsheng suddenly stopped and reacted suddenly.

The junior brother Lin sitting in front of him was already a cultivator in the Long Breath Realm before he entered the Taoist Academy, and he even broke through to the seventh level of Mingqiao in just over a year!

To be honest, Lin Shen's talent is much better than Su Liuying's!

If this trend continues, he may not even need three years to become a monk!

And as long as your luck is not too bad, the spiritual veins you create will never be lower than the third grade, and it is even very possible to create the second grade spiritual veins!

Thinking of this, Xie Jingsheng swallowed back the words of praise he was about to say and coughed to hide his embarrassment.

Lin Shen didn't know what Xie Jingsheng was thinking, so when he stopped talking, he took the initiative to ask: "What kind of cultivation is that Su Liuying now?"

As soon as these words came out, Xie Jingsheng's expression suddenly became weird and abnormal.

Lin Shen looked confused and asked, "What's wrong, brother Xie?"

Xie Jingsheng coughed, shook his head and said, "I don't know that either."

Lin Shen was stunned.

According to Xie Jingsheng, Su Liuying must be a highly-anticipated existence in Jiuyang Sect, and every move he makes will surely attract countless attention.

Even if you don’t know her specific cultivation level, you can’t know her general realm, right?

Seeing Lin Shen's surprise, Xie Jingsheng had no choice but to explain: "In fact, Su Liuying is not in the sect now. She had betrayed the sect two years ago and is missing."

Rebellion from the sect!

Lin Shen was really surprised now and quickly asked for details.

Xie Jingsheng shook his head slightly: "I don't know the details of what happened. I had just entered the Taoist temple not long ago. I only know that this incident caused a big fuss. It is said that more than ten monks died!"

"The Su family was originally expected to return to the ranks of the eighteenth family because of Su Liuying's rise, but after that incident, it fell into ruins and even declined more than before."

Lin Shen was silent, not expecting that there was such a secret behind this.

So, Su Liuying should be Su Nian's elder sister?

But in my memory, it seems that I have never heard Su Nian mention this clan sister.

But then I thought about it, Su Liuying's rebellion had brought a very heavy blow to the Su family, and it was understandable that Su Nian didn't want to mention this clan sister.

After sighing for a moment, Xie Jingsheng quickly dismissed the topic and returned to the topic.
