Chapter 222: Forging Spirit Meridians (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The house-cleaning battle of the Nine Suns Sect didn’t last long.
That evening, news came from White Tiger Mountain that the Yan family had been annihilated.
Including the family head, Yan Zhongrong, the seventeen cultivators of the Yan family had all died in battle.
No one below the cultivator master level survived.
At this point, the Yan family was officially removed from the Nine Suns Sect.
The eighteen influential families had also become seventeen.
Even though the Yan family had been annihilated, the consequences were still brewing in the Nine Suns Sect.
However, all of this had little to do with the Nine Yang Academy.
Compared to the subsequent storm caused by the Yan family’s destruction, the impact of Lin Shen killing Yan Jingren was even greater.
For the next few days, Lin Shen’s name appeared in almost everyone’s conversation.
However, the person involved had no time to care about such things.
On the third day after killing Yan Jingren, Lin Shen received Xie Jingsheng’s invitation and entered the upper house again.
As soon as they met, Xie Jingsheng smiled and said, “Junior Brother Lin, follow me. Master wants to see you.”
Lin Shen’s heart skipped a beat.
He had a deep impression of Si Yuanpei.
He had either passively or actively interacted with Si Yuanpei when he was promoted to a Black-rank disciple and when he exposed the Yan family for monopolizing the spirit cave,
However, even though they had crossed paths, he had never seen Si Yuanpei in person.
Now, they were finally going to meet!
Lin Shen nodded slightly and walked side by side with Xie Jingsheng.
On the way, Lin Shen asked about the spirit cave.
The fact that Yan Jingren’s strength had skyrocketed with the help of the spirit cave caused quite a stir in the academy.
Many disciples were very envious of the spirit cave because of this. They yearned to use the spirit cave to quickly increase their cultivation like Yan Jingren.
Lin Shen was no exception.
Although he had clones and his cultivation speed far exceeded others, no one would say no to faster cultivation speed.
If the spirit cave could allow his cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds, he wouldn’t reject an opportunity.
As Si Yuanpei’s disciple, Xie Jingsheng knew more information than ordinary disciples. He didn’t hide anything and smiled.
“The sect has already found the underground spirit cave, and it has been completely activated. 1 reckon that it won’t be long before the sect releases the quotas, allowing the disciples to enter the spirit cave to cultivate. At that time, our academy should also receive a batch of quotas.”
When he mentioned that the spirit cave had been completely opened, a meaningful glint flashed across Xie Jingsheng’s eyes.
Lin Shen immediately understood.
His previous guess was probably right.
The sect had waited a while before taking action because they wanted to use the Yan family to open the spirit cave.
It was a pity that the Yan family had paid such a huge price, but in the end, it was all for others.
Before long, they arrived at a wooden building.
Xie Jingsheng stopped at the door and smiled at Lin Shen. “Junior Brother, 1’11 leave you here.”
“Thank you, Senior Brother!”
After watching Xie Jingsheng leave, Lin Shen calmed down and turned around to knock on the door.
“Come in.”
A deep voice came from behind the door.
Lin Shen pushed the door open and entered. Inside was an ancient tea room.
There was only a short table and two rush cushions inside.
An old man with white hair sat on the cushion near the inner side.
He was unusually tall. Even though he was sitting, his straight body still gave off a majestic pressure.
His eyes were bright and piercing, and his gaze was as sharp as a sword.
“Master Si.” Lin Shen bowed slightly.
He still had to show the minimum respect to this institute head and cultivator master.
“Have a seat.”
Si Yuanpei pointed at the rush cushion in front of him. His face seemed stern and solemn, but his tone and expression were unexpectedly gentle.
After Lin Shen sat down, Si Yuanpei swept his sleeve across the short table. A few items instantly appeared on the originally empty tabletop.
There were two tokens, a ring, and a jade tube.
“You’ve contributed greatly to the extermination of the Yan family this time. The sect has never mistreated anyone who has contributed. From today onwards, you’re a disciple of the upper house!”
Si Yuanpei pointed at the two tokens on the table and said unhurriedly,
“This is the identity token of a disciple of the upper house and the token to enter the upper house.”
Lin Shen nodded slightly but didn’t say anything.
It was natural for him to advance to become a disciple of the upper house.
Even without the sect’s reward, it was only a matter of time before he became a disciple of the upper house.
The sect definitely knew this and wouldn’t use the status of an upper-house disciple as a reward. This was just in passing. The real reward should be something else.
As expected, Si Yuanpei then pointed at the ring.
“The items in this ring are rewards from the sect for your contributions this time.”
Lin Shen’s gaze landed on the storage ring.
Since Si Yuanpei had personally delivered the storage ring to him, the contents inside must be impressive.
However, now wasn’t the time to check. Lin Shen nodded slightly, and his gaze immediately landed on the last jade tube.
Noticing his gaze, Si Yuanpei said solemnly,
“On the path of cultivation, becoming a cultivator master is the most important starting point. This stage is extremely crucial. Now that you’ve advanced to the sixth level of the Bright Aperture Stage, you’re not far from that barrier. It’s time to learn some things about becoming a cultivator master.
“This jade tube contains some of my insights on becoming a cultivator master. Take it back and read it carefully.”
Lin Shen was slightly stunned, but he immediately understood that this was a personal gift from Si Yuanpei.
He couldn’t help but be overjoyed.
He had no idea how to become a cultivator master and wasn’t sure if he would be able to succeed after reaching the ninth level of the Bright Aperture Stage. Just as he was thinking about how to collect information about becoming a cultivator master, he received such a timely gift..
