I Have Countless Clones

Chapter 342: Admit Defeat (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Only after being refined by a cultivator master would the spiritual essence evolve into the corresponding element.

This was also one of the reasons why the Star Sword Pill was sought after by sword cultivators.

After all, most of the sword pills were extremely precious. It would be a miracle if one could get their hands on one pill. It wasn’t easy to get a sword pill that matched one’s spiritual essence.

Even if one successfully obtained a sword pill of the same element, most of them only had one element.

For those sword cultivators with high spirit meridians and dual-element spiritual essence, a single-element sword pill wasn’t good enough.

However, the Star Sword Pill could eliminate this flaw.

It could perfectly match the refiner’s spiritual essence, even if it was a five-element spiritual essence.

After scrutinizing it for a moment, Lin Shen smiled in satisfaction.

The Star Sword Pill was even more spiritual than he had expected.

With this sword pill and the Dark North Sword Scripture, his strength would quickly rise.

After a while, Lin Shen calmed down and summoned the Sword Spirit Self clone. He gave the Star Sword Pill and the Dark North Sword Scripture for the clone to comprehend.

Suddenly, Lin Shen thought of something.

He and his clone could share the Dark North Sword Scripture, but not the Star Sword Pill.

In the future, if he used the Star Sword Pill against enemies, the other clones would have to fight bare-handed.

“Looks like I have to collect a few more sword pills.”

Lin Shen felt a headache coming on.

The sword pill wasn’t like ordinary Dharma treasures. It was very hard to come by.

His seven clones required a total of seven sword pills. Moreover, as the number of clones increased in the future, the number of sword pills would also increase.

More importantly, ordinary sword pills couldn’t exert the power of the Supreme Secret spiritual essence or the Dark North Sword Scripture.

If he wanted to maximize his strength, it would be best if each clone refined a Star Sword Pill.

However, to obtain seven Star Sword Pills… even the Shan family wouldn’t be able to do such a thing!

“Looks like I have to find an opportunity to go to the Star Sect after breaking through to the Mystic Light Stage.”

After coming back to his senses, Lin Shen turned his attention back to the Nine Cauldrons Pills.

Ten bottles of Nine Cauldron Pills were more than enough for him to break through to the third level of the Spirit Nurturing Stage.

Without further ado, Lin Shen immediately summoned the remaining clones and began to cultivate them.

If he could break through to the third level of the Spirit Nurturing Stage before he went to the underground spirit cave, he would have a greater chance of protecting himself from danger.

Fallen Sword Peak, Orchid Pavilion.

Yu Siyu sat on the water mirror and calmly listened to Xia Mengran recount the events of the past few days.

“In that case, the Shan family has already admitted defeat and handed over the Star Sword Pills?”

“That’s right.” Xia Mengran nodded heavily. “Just this morning, that old Shan Qingzheng sent someone to deliver the Star Sword Pills to Goldstream Isle!

“The Shan family has really been humiliated this time. They lost to Junior Brother Lin three times in a row. They wouldn’t have the face to be so domineering and arrogant around everyone in the future!”

Xia Mengran’s tone was filled with undisguised gloating.

Even though the Shan family tried their best to hide it and only let Shan Jingchun and Shan Liangshan come alone during the gambling competition, unlike Shan Wenqi who had made such a scene. However, words got around. The news that the Shan family had suffered a huge loss at Lin Shen’s hands had long spread.

Many people knew about this matter. While they were amazed by Lin Shen’s strength, they also mocked the Shan family for what had happened.

Many people were secretly dissatisfied with the Shan family’s high-profile actions.

Now that they heard that the Shan family had suffered a huge loss, they naturally took the opportunity to kick the family when they were down.

Yu Siyu was used to Xia Mengran’s temperament. Seeing that the latter was gloating, she didn’t mind. Instead, she pondered slightly.

To be honest, Lin Shen’s performance exceeded her expectations.

Yu Siyu had long known that the Shan family wanted to take back Gale Island through gambling.

However, she wanted to see how far her disciple could go, so she had been holding back.

Unless Lin Shen couldn’t hold on any longer and came to seek help, Yu Siyu wouldn’t make a move.

However, Lin Shen’s performance surprised her.

Shan Jingchun and Shan Liangshan were powerful and had many Dharma treasures bestowed by the Shan family. They were undoubtedly extremely troublesome opponents.

However, Lin Shen easily defeated the two of them, forcing the Shan family to admit defeat.

It was only today that Yu Siyu suddenly realized that she had underestimated this disciple.

“Master!”

Xia Mengran’s voice made Yu Siyu come back to her senses. She looked at her master with bright eyes.

“I think Junior Brother should be able to participate in the Three Sect Competition.”

Yu Siyu’s eyes flashed.

Xia Mengran already brought up the same topic not long ago.

At that time, Yu Siyu rejected it immediately, thinking that Lin Shen had only been promoted to cultivator master for a short period of time and wasn’t qualified to participate in the Three Sect Competition.

But now she was wavering.

With Lin Shen’s current growth speed, he might really have enough strength to participate in the Three Sect Competition in five months.

The Three Sect Competition was a grand event in Dragonside City. If one could obtain a ranking in the competition, even Mystic Light Stage cultivators would be tempted by generous rewards.

After a moment of silence, Yu Siyu said gently, “We’ll see.”

If possible, she naturally hoped that Lin Shen could participate in the Three Sect Competition.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.

In the cave abode on Goldstream Isle.

Lin Shen sat cross-legged on the ground and stared fixedly at the void in front of him.

[Name: Lin Shen]

[Talent: Pure Yang Body, Innate Spirit Body]

[Stage: Level 3 Spirit Nurturing, 82%]

[Cultivation techniques: Supreme Secret Technique (Level 1, 78%), Golden Wheel Lightning Tome (Level 1, 89%), Nether Yin Heavy Water (Level 2, 24%), Dark North Sword Scripture (Level 1, 2% …]

[Spell: Seven Arts Sword Energy (Perfection, Level 7), Lightning Palm

(Perfection, Level 5)…]

[Number of clones: 7 (69%)]

With the support of sufficient Nine Cauldron Pills, Lin Shen successfully advanced to the third level of the Spirit Nurturing Stage.

Moreover, he wasn’t far from breaking through to the fourth level.

Even without the Nine Cauldron Pills, he could break through in half a month at most.

At that time, he would be a mid-phase Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator master.

In addition, ten drops of Nether Yin Heavy Water had successfully condensed in Lin Shen’s body.

The cultivation had also allowed the Nether Yin Heavy Water to break through to the second level.

Because he was focused on cultivating the Nether Yin Heavy Water, the progress of the Golden Wheel Lightning Tome was relatively slow. However, it wasn’t far from breaking through.

However, what made Lin Shen the happiest was successfully reaching Beginner in Dark North Sword Scripture.

“As expected of one of the eight divine powers of the sect. It’s extremely difficult to cultivate. Even the Sword Spirit Self clone took more than a month to reach Beginner.”

Lin Shen sighed.

The Sword Spirit Self clone had the effect of increasing the cultivation speed of swordsmanship by 200% and he also had a transcendent-grade spirit meridian. Even so, it still took him more than a month to reach Beginner.

Any other cultivator master probably wouldn’t be able to reach Beginner even after six months.

No wonder the sect stipulated that disciples could only cultivate two of the eight divine powers at most.

Two divine powers like the sword scripture were enough for ordinary cultivators to cultivate and study for their entire lives.

Any more techniques would definitely divert one’s attention and drag down their cultivation.

Only he had so many clones that he could ignore this rule.

H

I’ve comprehended that the sword scripture is complete. Next, I can start refining the sword pill.”

Lin Shen took out the Star Sword Pill and bit the tip of his tongue without hesitation. He spat out a mist of blood essence on the sword pill and silently formed a hand seal. According to the Dharmic formulation contained in the Dark North Sword Scripture, he swallowed the sword pill into his aperture and slowly refined it with the Supreme secret spiritual essence.

This process didn’t happen overnight.

Although Lin Shen had 108 mouthfuls of spiritual essence and could refine them day and night without stopping, he would not be able to refine them without ten days or half a month.

However, once the refinement was successful, the Star Sword Pill would be connected to his mind. Even if he was miles away, the sword pill could fly over with a wave of his hand.

After condensing the seed of Mystic Light, he could use the sword pill to fly. It was much faster than a flying ship.

Only then would the goal that Lin Shen had set that day be truly achieved.

“Everything has been prepared. It’s time to set off for the underground spirit cave.”

Lin Shen stood up and walked out of the Cave Abode.

He quickly found Ai.

She was absorbing spiritual essence by the stream.

There was abundant spiritual essence on Goldstream Isle. After arriving on the island, Ai didn’t need to wait until night to breathe in the moonlight. She could also cultivate during the day.

Her cultivation progress was much faster than when she was in the East District.

It wouldn’t be long before she could transcend human tribulation and become a demon cultivator.

Without disturbing Ai, Lin Shen quietly opened the restriction and left Goldstream Isle..
