Chapter 245: Spiritual Meridian Accomplished (3)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
For a moment, Lin Shen couldn’t help but feel excited.
With seven clones around, it was only a matter of time before he attained a first-grade spirit meridian!
Moreover, it might even be higher!
Lin Shen immediately made up his mind. Before his clones’ spirit meridians reached the limit, he wouldn’t fuse with any clone.
Although doing so would slow down his growth in the future, once he succeeded, the benefits he would obtain would definitely be shocking!
After a while, Lin Shen calmed down and summoned the Extreme Intelligence Will Hurt clone again.
As expected, when the fused Extreme Intelligence Will Hurt clone was summoned again, the number of spirit meridians in its body had already increased to two.
Fortunately, the other clones had yet to fuse. Apart from Analogy, which had a spirit meridian, the other five clones had yet to forge one.
At this moment, Lin Shen still had 21 Cast Spirit Pills, so he simply handed them all to the Extreme Intelligence Will Hurt clone.
With its aptitude, Extreme Intelligence Will Hurt’s clone digested the medicinal effects extremely quickly. In just a day, it used three Cast Spirit Pills to forge its third spirit meridian.
Two days later, it forged the fourth spirit meridian.
This time, it used four Cast Spirit Pills.
“There are still 14 Cast Spirit Pills left. It’s enough for the clone to forge two more spirit meridians. 1 have to collect more Cast Spirit Pills later!”
Lin Shen did some calculations. According to the pattern of needing one more pill for each additional spirit meridian forged, even if the Extreme Intelligence Will Hurt clone only formed a second-grade spirit meridian, it would need more than 600 Cast Spirit Pills!
If he wanted to form a first-grade spirit meridian, he would need nearly a thousand Cast Spirit Pills!
Lin Shen couldn’t help but click his tongue.
No wonder no one in the Nine Suns Sect had attained a first-grade spirit meridian for so many years.
The aptitude aside, just the amount of resources needed to achieve a first-grade spirit meridian was terrifying!
Even the disciples of influential families would find it difficult to bear the burden!
Moreover, this was only the number needed for the Extreme Intelligence Will Hurt clone alone.
Although the other clones would definitely be able to forge far fewer spirit meridians than the Extreme Intelligence Will Hurt clone, they would probably need a lot of Cast Spirit Pills.
If Lin Shen wanted him and all his clones to forge their spirit meridians to the limit, the number of Cast Spirit Pills he needed would be astronomical.
“There’s still a long way to go…”
Lin Shen smiled bitterly and shook his head.
It couldn’t be helped. In order to build a good foundation, he had to endure the hardship.
After sorting out his emotions, Lin Shen stood up and walked out of the cave.
Tomorrow was the day when the spirit cave would open again. It was time to meet up with the people from the academy.
After figuring out the direction, Lin Shen suddenly rose without any wind. A lifelike cloud dragon phantom surrounded him and lifted him off the ground. After a slight pause, he flew into the distance.
He was several times faster than when using the Riding Wind Technique!
Just as Lin Shen had guessed, after reaching True Martial, the Cloud Dragon Rhythm already had the power to allow him to fly in the air, and it was even faster than the Riding Wind Technique.
This was also the reason why he was confident that he could reach the exit of the spirit cave in a day.
While Lin Shen was rushing to meet up with the people from the academy, on a high slope hundreds of kilometers away, more than ten Blood Sea Sect disciples in black robes were gathered together, looking at the basin below.
The entire basin was filled with turbid air and was enveloped by countless grayish-white smoke. Everything was blurry, and one could only vaguely see blood-colored flags rising high.
Looking at the situation below, a tall and pale Blood Sea Sect disciple laughed.
“Master is indeed powerful. Now that the Nether Corpse Smoke Array has been completed, even if the Nine Suns Sect discovers that something is amiss on the day the spirit cave opens, they can forget about breaking the array in an hour. If they miss this opportunity, they can only wait another month to enter the spirit cave!”
As soon as he finished speaking, another Blood Sea Sect disciple shook his head and said, “It’s not that simple!
“It’s not impossible to change the opening time of the spirit cave. As long as the Nine Suns Sect is willing to pay a certain price, they can also forcefully open the spirit cave!
“Our only advantage is that we have the geographical advantage in advance. With Master presiding over the Nether Corpse Smoke Array, the Nine Suns Sect won’t be able to forcefully enter the spirit cave!”
“Junior Brother Liu is right.”
The man standing at the front turned around and swept his indifferent gaze across everyone.
“With Master holding down the Nether Corpse Smoke Array, there’s no need to worry about the Nine Suns Sect being able to enter the spirit cave. The only concern is that once the array formation is activated, Master has to focus on it. He can’t even use his blood souls. Therefore, during this period of time, we’ll do our duty as guards and kill all creatures that dare to approach the Nether Corpse Smoke Array!”
The man obviously had a lot of prestige among the disciples.
The Blood Sea Sect disciples’ expressions turned solemn when they heard this.
They all knew what the man was referring to.
More than half a month ago, they discovered a group of Nine Suns Sect disciples entering the spirit cave, so they immediately sent out more than 20 people led by Jiang Wanying to pursue them.
More than ten days had passed, but they hadn’t heard from Jiang Wanying and his people yet.
Shocked, they sent people to investigate again, but in the end, they found the bodies of more than twenty people, and Jiang Wanying was nowhere to be found.
Jiang Wanying was most likely dead.
After a moment of silence, a Blood Sea Sect disciple stood up and said in a deep voice,
“Senior Brother Min, the spirit cave is about to open. Those Nine Suns Sect disciples will most likely rush here. In order to prevent those fellows from disturbing Master, why don’t 1 make a trip personally and deal with those people first?”
Min Shun looked at the person who spoke. When he saw that it was Shen Yan, he nodded slightly.
“In that case, I’ll let Junior Brother Shen make the trip. However, since those Nine Suns Sect disciples were able to kill Junior Brother Jiang, their strength must be extraordinary. Just in case, I’ll send in some Junior Brothers with you!”
Min Shun called out several disciples in a row.
Including Shen Yan, there were a total of five people. All of them were elite disciples who were at the ninth level of Bright Aperture Stage and had already started to forge spirit meridians.
With the five of them working together, even Jiang Wanying was no match for them.
They shouldn’t have a problem handling those Nine Suns Sect disciples.
Chen Yan and the others immediately complied.
Not long after, five streaks of blood light left the high slope and flew into the distance..
