I Have Countless Clones

49 Common Hobbies

After agreeing to buy Ai canned cat food the next day, Lin Shen let her find a place to rest and went up to the second floor.

After returning to the bedroom and closing the door, Lin Shen took out two martial arts manuals and placed them in front of him.

Dragon Roar Through the Clouds and Forbidden Golden Armor.

Needless to say, the Forbidden Golden Armor could only be cultivated after he reached the Long Breath Stage. He would just keep it for the time being.

However, he had to start cultivating the Dragon Roar Through the Clouds as soon as possible and tried to reach Beginner before the examination.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Shen quickly made up his mind.

“Clone 2 will continue to cultivate the Original Breathing Technique. The other clones will cultivate the Blazing Sun Palm and Shadows first. When the Blazing Sun Palm reaches Perfection and Shadows reaches Mastery, they will start to comprehend the Dragon Roar Through the Clouds with all their might!

“In addition, I have to find time to apply for a breeding permit for Ai.”

In Dragonside City, anyone who wanted to raise spiritual beasts had to report to the Three Sect Prefecture and apply for permission.

If Lin Shen wanted to adopt Ai openly, this procedure was inevitable.

Fortunately, he was a cultivator, so it was relatively easier for him to obtain permission to raise spiritual beasts than ordinary people.

…

Early next morning.

Lin Shen arrived at Calm Sun Martial Arts School early again and found Yang Zhongyi, who was cultivating martial arts.

“You’re here so early today. Do you have something to discuss with me again?” Yang Zhongyi teased.

“You’re right.”

Lin Shen smiled and took out the piece of essence stone.

“I want to sell this thing. Do you have any channels?”

“Is that a piece of essence stone?” Yang Zhongyi recognized it at a glance and clicked his tongue in wonder. “This is good stuff!”

He didn’t ask where Lin Shen had obtained the piece. He took the item and smiled.

“Alright, I’ll take care of it for you. I guarantee the price won’t be lower than the market price. I’ll transfer the money to your account afterward.”

“Thanks!” Lin Shen smiled.

Fragments of essence stones were rare to ordinary cultivators, but disciples of influential families like Yang Zhongyi had probably seen many of them.

Lin Shen felt it was better to let Yang Zhongyi sell the item than to sell it himself. At least, he didn’t have to worry about the price being ruthlessly lowered.

After settling the matter of selling the piece, Lin Shen asked about the process of applying for permission to raise spiritual beasts.

“You want to raise a spiritual beast? What spiritual beast?”

“A spiritual cat.”

Yang Zhongyi was slightly stunned. He obviously thought of Lin Shen asking him about the catgirls and the Night Grinders the day before, and a meaningful glint flashed across his eyes.

However, he didn’t ask further and only said with a smile,

“That’s easy. I have an acquaintance in the Three Sect Prefecture. I’ll give you a contact number later and tell him about it. You can go to see him tomorrow. I guarantee it will be done quickly!”

“Thank you!” Lin Shen thanked her again, his tone serious and sincere.

From the moment they met until now, Yang Zhongyi had already helped him many times without asking for anything in return. No matter what the reason was behind it, Lin Shen felt he owed Yang Zhongyi one.

Hearing the meaning in Lin Shen’s tone, Yang Zhongyi smiled and patted his shoulder.

“Don’t worry about it. We’re friends with a common hobby now!”

“What kind of hobby?”

“You like cats, and I like catgirls. We’re both cat lovers!”

“…”

…

After leaving Calm Sun Martial Arts School, Lin Shen followed the address he found in advance and found a shop with a good reputation that specialized in selling domestic spiritual beast food. With a wave of his hand, he ordered ten boxes of canned cat food.

After paying the fee and agreeing to send the food to his place, Lin Shen left the shop.

The shop was extremely efficient. When Lin Shen returned to his house, the delivery truck was already waiting there.

He sighed at the delivery and moved the boxes out of the truck. After the delivery man left, Lin Shen had just closed the door when Ai ran over.

“Are these all canned cat food?”

Ai looked at the pile of boxes with sparkling eyes. After hearing Lin Shen’s confirmation, she looked so happy that she was about to faint.

“Canned cat food! so much canned cat food…”

Although they had only known each other for less than two days, Lin Shen already knew Ai’s gluttonous nature. He didn’t mind her reaction. He opened the box, counted 35 cans of cat food, and placed them in front of Ai.

“Here. This is your food for the week.”

“Thank you, Lin Shen. You’re really a good person!”

Ai jumped onto the can and rolled around happily.

Lin Shen stroked Ai’s head and looked at her lovingly as if he were looking at a silly kid.

“By the way, I’ll bring you to Three Sect Prefecture tomorrow to apply for a breeding permit. Remember not to speak.”

Lin Shen had never heard of a spiritual cat like Ai, who was only at the Qi Transformation Stage but could speak human language.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it was better for her to pretend to be an ordinary spiritual cat.

Ai was surrounded by canned cat food, so she agreed without thinking.

After putting the remaining boxes into the storage jade plate, Lin Shen went to the second floor and started cultivating.

Yang Zhongyi was extremely efficient. The next morning, he transferred the money from selling the essence stone to Lin Shen’s account. It was a total of 250,000 spirit coins, and it temporarily resolved his urgent need.

At least for the next half a month, Lin Shen would no longer have to worry about his daily life and cultivation expenses.

From then on, apart from applying for a breeding permit, he focused all his energy on cultivating.

With Yang Zhongyi’s connection, the process of applying for the breeding permit was very smooth.

In less than three days, he had obtained the breeding certificate.

At the same time, his cultivation progress also went smoothly.

Five days later, Lin Shen’s Blazing Sun Palm successfully reached Perfection.

Just like the Origin Breathing Technique, the Blazing Sun Palm couldn’t be improved further after reaching Perfection.

“I wonder if any martial techniques can be improved beyond Perfection.”

Lin Shen thought to himself.

However, although his martial arts techniques could no longer be improved, with the enhancement of Pure Yang Body, the power of the Blazing Sun Palm he was still a level higher than Perfection.

The 100% enhancement was quite significant!

“Shadows has finally reached Mastery as well!

With a thought, Lin Shen summoned the interface.

[Name: Lin Shen]

[Talent: God’s Jealousy]

[Stage: Level 8 Qi Transformation, 95%]

[Cultivation technique: Origin Breathing Technique (Perfection), Blazing Sun Palm (Perfection), Mortal Restrain (Beginner, 62%), Shadows (Mastery, 2%)]

[Number of clones: 4 (54%)]

With the efforts of him and his three clones, Shadows finally reached Mastery today.

Lin Shen suddenly shifted. In the blink of an eye, he moved five to six times in the bedroom. His speed was more than 50% as fast as when he was at the Proficient level.

“Shadows is indeed more suitable for close combat!”

Lin Shen nodded in satisfaction.

In addition, his cultivation was only 5% away from breaking through to the ninth level of Qi Transformation.

“There are still three days until the exam. There’s more than enough time for me to break through to the ninth level.”

“All that’s left is to comprehend the Dragon Roar Through the Clouds!”

Lin Shen took out the secret manual and looked at the words on it. His eyes flickered slightly.

In the next three days, only Clone 2 continued to cultivate the Origin Breathing Technique. He and the other three clones had to focus on comprehending the Dragon Roar Through the Clouds and try to reach Beginner before the day of the examination.

It wasn’t easy.

Back then, when he and his clones comprehended Shadows, it took them more than ten days to reach Beginner.

The Dragon Roar Through the Clouds was clearly a martial technique of a higher level than Shadows. Even with him and his three clones comprehending it together, it was still difficult to reach Beginner in three days.

If not for his Superior Martial Arts talent, Lin Shen wouldn’t have had any expectations.

“Just do it!”

Lin Shen took a deep breath, opened the manual, and began to comprehend it.
