I Have Countless Clones

“Boss, I’ve never seen you treat anyone so well.”

“Of course!”

Another person added.

“Lin Shen is the first commoner chief disciple of the Nine Yang Academy. In the future, he’ll at least be an inner disciple of the Nine Yang Sect. His future is limitless. Of course, Boss Han will look at him in a different light!”

“That’s right. If we met under different circumstances, I would have wanted to build a relationship with Lin Shenla. Perhaps I would have gotten into his good books.”

“I wonder if he has a girlfriend.”

“Pfft, leave that boy alone! Why don’t you take a look at your age?”

“I’m as beautiful as a flower. So what if I’m a little older? Perhaps Lin Shen likes an older girlfriend.”

“…”

“Enough!”

Han Wu stopped his noisy subordinates to prevent the topic from deviating further.

“Hurry up and clean up the scene. Also, pack up the corpses and bring them back.”

After a pause, Han Wu thought of something and said,

“By the way, Yao, send Luo Yi’s bounty to Lin Shen tomorrow.”

The man called Yao nodded. His eyes darted around, and he suddenly said,

“Boss, I heard something a few days ago. Many disciples of influential families in the Nine Yang Academy seem to be secretly planning to give Lin Shen a head-on blow during the guided battle for new students!”

Han Wu frowned. After a moment, he shook his head and sighed.

The influential families had been looking down on ordinary cultivators for a long time.

The upper echelons of those families were still alright. They knew how to be gentle, and they mainly tried to win over and divide the common cultivators. If there was really no other way, they would suppress them.

However, most of the disciples of influential families were young and impetuous. They didn’t understand these things at all or disdained them.

Most people were immersed in the sense of superiority toward civilian cultivators and looked down on the latter.

It was obvious that these people would never allow a commoner to surpass them. They would definitely spare no effort to suppress Lin Shen.

And the guided battle was obviously an excellent excuse!

Thinking of this, Han Wu sighed again.

Although he looked down on the actions of those disciples of influential families, he couldn’t help much in this matter.

She could only hope Lin Shen wouldn’t be defeated because of this.

“Although Lin Shen is very powerful, at the end of the day, he’s just a new student. He’s most likely not a match for those seniors. He might suffer a huge loss this time!” Yao was still nagging.

Han Wu waved his hand to interrupt him.

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. When we get back, we must work on finding all the members of the Night Grinders. We must interrogate them and find out their detailed contact with the Wild Wolves!”

“Recently, the Wild Wolves have become more and more active. They’ve even dragged organizations like the Night Grinders into the water. I’m worried they’re planning some big move. We have to find them and get rid of them as soon as possible!”

“Yes, boss!”

Everyone responded in unison.

…

After returning home, Lin Shen didn’t rest. Instead, after comforting Ai, he quietly left the villa and rushed to the black street.

Tonight’s attack reminded Lin Shen again.

As he stood out, he gradually became the target of some people.

There was no lack of people who had malicious intentions toward him!

In order to deal with any malicious intent, he had to increase his strength as soon as possible!

Advancing to the Long Breath Stage was imminent!

Therefore, Lin Shen was prepared to obtain the pills and rare herbs as soon as possible before starting to break through to the Long Breath Stage.

Half an hour later,

Lin Shen arrived at the black street.

According to his previous agreement with Old Wu, he went to an alley beside a restaurant. There, he saw Old Wu sitting on the ground and dozing off against the wall.

“Old Wu.”

Lin Shen went forward and shook Old Wu.

The latter opened his eyes in a daze. When he saw that it was Lin Shen, he yawned, picked up a package beside him, and threw it at him.

“Here, the medicinal pills and rare herbs I bought recently are all inside.”

Lin Shen opened the package and looked through the things before nodding in satisfaction.

These things were enough for him to cultivate the Long Breath Stage!

Suddenly, Lin Shen thought of something. He took out the jade box he had found on Luo Yi’s body, opened it, and handed it to Old Wu.

“Old Wu, do you know what this is?”

Old Wu took a look and was surprised.

“Yin Extreme Grass? That’s good stuff. Where did you get it?”

...

Instead of answering, Lin Shen asked, “What’s the use of this thing?”

“The Yin Extreme Grass is one of the main materials needed to refine many Yin attribute medicinal pills. It’s rare and expensive, but its most famous characteristic is that it can be used to refine a medicinal pill!”

Seeing Old Wu’s mysterious look, Lin Shen couldn’t help but ask curiously,

“What pill?”

Old Wu stroked his beard and said calmly, “Blood Spirit Pills!”

Lin Shen’s heart skipped a beat.

Even someone like him, who came from an ordinary background and didn’t know much about the cultivation world, had heard of the ferocious reputation of the Blood Spirit Pills.

This was an unorthodox pill refined from the flesh and bones of cultivators!

After consumption, it could increase one’s cultivation.

Furthermore, it could be effective on cultivators of any stage before they became cultivator masters. The effect was significant.

Because of this, many unorthodox cultivators liked to refine Blood Spirit Pills to increase their cultivation.

...

However, because the Blood Spirit Pills were too cruel to make, the cultivators didn’t want to become materials to refine the Blood Spirit Pills one day. Therefore, they all joined forces to kill the unorthodox cultivators who dared to refine the Blood Spirit Pills.

Even the heretic and sinister sects which had always done strange things didn’t dare to risk the world’s condemnation to refine Blood Spirit Pills in order not to attract the attention of the righteous sects—at least on the surface!

As time passed, the Blood Spirit Pills almost disappeared without a trace in the cultivation circle. They only existed in casual conversation.

If Old Wu hadn’t suddenly mentioned it, Lin Shen wouldn’t have thought of this.

“Is this Yin Extreme Grass used to refine Blood Spirit Pills?”

Lin Shen looked at the jade box in his hand, and a hint of seriousness flashed across his eyes.

Thinking of Luo Yi’s motive for looking for him tonight, that was very possible.

Perhaps the reason why the people behind Luo Yi captured him was to refine the Blood Spirit Pills!

“Lin Shen, why are you in a daze?” Old Wu waved his hand in front of Lin Shen.

Lin Shen immediately came back to his senses and shook his head. He said perfunctorily, “I’m fine.”

Then, he took out 30,000 spirit coins and handed them to Old Wu, asking the latter to help him collect more medicinal pills and rare herbs.

Old Wu agreed without hesitation.

Of course, he wouldn’t reject something that could earn him money.

With the package, Lin Shen quickly returned to the eastern villa.

The next morning, someone from the Martial Enforcement Hall came to the door and said they were there to deliver Luo Yi’s bounty, which was 500,000 spirit coins.

Lin Shen didn’t hesitate and accepted it.

After advancing to the Long Breath Stage, he would only need to spend more money. He wouldn’t complain about the amount.

After sending off the people from the Martial Enforcement Hall, Lin Shen returned to his bedroom on the second floor to continue cultivating.

In the following days, he had to devote his energy and mind to cultivation.
