As early as when he heard Kou Ming say that collection tasks were mostly issued by Qiao Gong Pavilion and Danyuan for the purpose of collecting materials, Lin Shen had an idea and guessed that there was a high probability of collecting black iron among these tasks.

After all, black iron is one of the most commonly used materials for forging weapons and even magic weapons.

The result was exactly as he expected.

Lin Shen immediately took down the wooden sign.

When he was about to hand over the task, he glanced at a wooden sign on the left side of the corner of his eye, and immediately let out a low sigh and stopped.

‘To collect a Yin Jue Grass, the age must be no less than thirty years, and the reward will be eighty merit points!’

"There is also Yin Jue Cao!"

Lin Shen was overjoyed.

The Yin Jue Grass he got from Luo Yi was of almost no use to him. If he could exchange it for merit points, that would be great!

Lin Shen took off the wooden signs without hesitation, then came to the counter near the door and placed the two wooden signs on the counter.

"Excuse me, I need to hand over the task."

Standing behind the counter was a girl with delicate features, about twenty years old.

She seemed to have seen many disciples come directly to hand over tasks with wooden signs, and she was not surprised when she saw them. She picked up the wooden signs with ease and took a look at them. She then took the Xuantie and Yin Juecao handed over by Lin Shen and called them skillfully.

Jinliang, identify the year.

After a moment, the girl raised her head and smiled:

"Xuan Tie weighs twenty-four kilograms, with a total of forty-eight merit points. The year of Yin Jue Cao is between thirty and forty years. If the mission conditions are met, the reward will be eighty merit points, totaling one hundred and twenty-eight merit points. Please show me

Your identity token!"

Lin Shen handed over the identity token.

The girl took the token, checked it once, and after confirming it was correct, she took a writing brush and started writing and drawing on a blank book at hand.

From Lin Shen's perspective, he could see the black calligraphy and paintings on the book appearing one after another, and then quickly disappearing.

When the girl put down the brush, the book was still blank, but the girl handed the token back with a smile.

"One hundred and twenty-eight merit points have been registered."

Lin Shen was amazed and thought that the writing brush and the book were probably some kind of magic weapon.

After thanking him, Lin Shen left with his identity token, ready to redeem resources.

Watching Lin Shen walk out of the hall, the girl behind the counter tilted her head in confusion.

"It's strange. This person is so nice. Is there such a person among the Xuan-level disciples? Could it be that he was just promoted in the level challenge a few days ago?"

"But it seems that none of the Huang-level disciples have seen this person before?"

Come to the main hall where resources are exchanged.

Lin Shen flipped through the list and began to think about what he wanted to redeem.

To say that what he is most passionate about is undoubtedly martial arts.

For example, the Qi Sword Finger, which is worth ten small skills.

This is a powerful martial art that can emit sword energy through the air with your fingers, which can be used to complete his martial arts system.

In addition, there is also Yang Ji Sword Technique worth four small skills, which can make up for his lack of weapon-like martial arts.

It's a pity that Lin Shen currently only has three minor skills. Not to mention Qi Sword Pointing, Yang Ji Sword Technique cannot be redeemed.

"Forget it, let's cultivate the Cloud-piercing Dragon's Song, Forbidden Golden Armor and Weapon Molten Hands to perfection first. By then, we should have almost accumulated enough merit to exchange for martial arts."

As for the magical weapons, Shuyang Robe and Sanyang Talisman Sword are also what Lin Shen wants.

But just like martial arts, he can't afford to redeem it at the moment.

Fortunately, the elixir was within his tolerance.

After ordering one bottle of the thirty-six meritorious deeds of Ningzhen Pill, Lin Shen exchanged it for three bottles with a wave of his hand.

Three bottles of Condensation Pill are enough for him to practice for a period of time.

As for the three small skills, he planned to save them for the time being.

After all, once a small achievement is exchanged for a merit point, it can never be exchanged again.

And many of the precious things on the list require a small amount of effort to redeem them.

After exchanging the Ningzhen Pill, Lin Shen rushed to the residential area without stopping.

On the mountain path surrounded by wooden buildings, many disciples in Taoist robes came and went in a hurry.

However, when Lin Shen stepped onto the mountain path, the atmosphere around him suddenly changed. Many people subconsciously slowed down and looked at him, pointing and talking in low voices.

"Is he Lin Shen?"

"That's right, it's the freshman chief who defeated two Long Breath Realm disciples!"

"I heard that the Master of the Division also promoted him to a Xuan-level disciple!"

"Damn, it's so enviable! It took me two years to become a Xuan-level disciple, but he did it as soon as he entered the Taoist Academy!"

"Who's to say that someone's qualifications are so incredible? You are a new student in the Changxi Realm! This is the first one since the establishment of the Taoist Academy. I asked you if you are powerful?"

"."

Apparently word of the guidance battle has spread.

Along the way, Lin Shen became like a panda in the zoo, being watched and pointed out by countless people.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for him to find the wooden building No. Bing171. He immediately used the talisman to open the door and hid inside.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and the formation of the wooden building blocked all sight from the outside.

This place has become a small world isolated from the world.

Lin Shen breathed a sigh of relief and looked around to check the environment inside the wooden building.

The interior area of ​​the wooden building is not small, with a total of two floors.

Living room, kitchen and balcony are all available.

There are three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom.

In addition, there is a renovated practice room. The floor and walls inside are covered with a layer of iron-like copper-like metal. It is extremely hard. It is estimated that it can withstand the attacks of Long Breath Realm practitioners and is enough to cope with daily life.

Martial arts training.

It is worth mentioning that, seemingly to match the overall environment of the Taoist temple, the interior decoration of the wooden building is also full of antique and elegant styles.

However, the environment is not shabby, but very comfortable, with ingenuity everywhere.

"good!"

A smile appeared on Lin Shen's lips, and he was very satisfied with his residence for the next five years.

What made him even more delighted was that from the moment he entered, he could clearly feel the spiritual atmosphere filling the air.

Bathed in this spiritual aura, Lin Shen felt that the inside and outside of his body were transparent, and he felt as if his whole body had been washed.

This is still in a non-cultivating state!

You can imagine how quickly your cultivation will improve if you practice in this kind of environment!

"The effect of a Class C monastery is already so amazing, what kind of effects should a Class B or even a Class A monastery have?"

Lin Shen couldn't help but think, his heart surging slightly.

After a while, he recovered from his reverie, calmed down the surge in his heart, came to the practice room, sat down cross-legged, took out the Golden Crow Sutra and began to meditate.

Although the Golden Crow Sutra is a mental training method in the long-breath realm, it is not very difficult.

It's even simpler than following a shadow.

Lin Shen and five clones comprehended it at the same time, and with the bonus of their talents, it only took half a day to successfully master the Golden Crow Sutra.

[Name: Lin Shen]

[Talent: Heavenly Jealousy of Talents]

[Realm: Long Breath Level 86%]

[Skills: Golden Crow Sutra (1% entry level), Blazing Sun Palm (perfection), Shadow Follower (perfection), Cloud-Piercing Dragon's Song (28% proficiency), Weapon Melting Hand (4% proficiency), Converging Mortal Technique (2% proficiency)

, Forbidden Golden Armor (entry 16%)】

[Number of clones 5 (10%)]

"The Zhengyuan Breathing Technique has been covered."

Lin Shen was slightly startled.

Fortunately, this did not affect other aspects. After calming down, Lin Shen took out a Condensing Pill, drank it, and began to practice.

After practicing the Golden Crow Sutra, the speed of cultivation increased significantly. In less than an hour, the power of a Condensing Pill was completely digested.

Lin Shen rested for a while and continued to practice by taking the Ningzhen Pill.
