Tao Zongbao was filled with disbelief.

With a hint of doubt, he couldn’t help but said tentatively,

“Well, Fellow Daoist Lin, as you know, the academy’s rules state that only disciples who have advanced to the Bright Aperture Stage can…”

He didn’t finish his sentence, but the meaning was obvious.

When Lin Shen heard this, he smiled slightly and wasn’t offended. He raised his fingers casually and drew in the air.

As he moved his fingertip, streaks of green light gradually appeared in the air, giving off an ethereal and mysterious feeling.

Tao Zongbao was dumbfounded.

He was using spiritual light to draw a talisman in the air!

This was a technique that only those in the Bright Aperture Stage had!

Although Lin Shen hadn’t cultivated any spells and couldn’t draw a complete talisman, he could still show off his skills.

After a long while, Tao Zongbao suddenly shivered and woke up from his daze. When he looked at Lin Shen again, his eyes were filled with amazement. “Fellow Daoist Lin is indeed talented. You actually advanced to the Bright Aperture Stage so quickly… I offended you just now. Please forgive me!” Tao Zongbao said awkwardly, afraid that Lin Shen would be dissatisfied with his probing just now.

After learning that Lin Shen had already advanced to the Bright Aperture Stage, his reverence for this young man had reached a new height.

In less than a year after entering the academy, he had broken through to the Bright Aperture Stage!

This was the first time he had seen such a genius in his life!

As long as nothing went wrong, he would definitely have a place in the higher-ups of the sect in the future!

How could a mere academy deacon like Tao Zongbao dare to slight and offend such a person with great potential?

Hearing this, Lin Shen waved his hand to show that he didn’t mind and reminded Tao Zongbao again.

“What about the Nine Yang Scripture?”

Tao Zongbao seemed to have woken up from a dream and hurriedly apologized. He called over a disciple and instructed him to bring over the Nine Yang Scripture. He stayed where he was and carefully accompanied Lin Shen. His expression and actions were even more respectful than before.

Before long, the disciple returned with a secret manual. It was the Nine Yang Scripture that Lin Shen needed.

“Thank you, Deacon Tao.” Lin Shen took the Nine Yang Scripture and thanked Tao Zongbao with a smile.

The latter quickly shook his head and put on a fawning smile.

“This is my responsibility. If Fellow Daoist Lin has any requests in the future, just let me know. I’ll do everything within my capability!”

Lin Shen couldn’t help but laugh. However, he immediately thought of something.

“About the matter of collecting the natural treasures…”

Tao Zongbao immediately patted his chest and agreed. “The disciples should have acc.u.mulated some recently. I’ll send someone to contact them!”

Lin Shen thanked him with a smile and left the Internal Affairs Department.

After sending Lin Shen out the door and watching him walk away, Tao Zongbao couldn’t help but sigh.

“If this news spreads, I’m afraid it’ll cause a huge commotion in the academy again!”

After signing for a while, Tao Zongbao came back to his senses and hurriedly summoned the disciples, instructing them to start contacting people.

After returning to the wooden building, Lin Shen immediately opened the Nine Yang Scripture and began to comprehend it.

He and the six clones worked on it together, and he only used a day to reach Beginner in the Nine Yang Scripture.

As expected, the Golden Crow Scripture in the cultivation technique column had already been replaced by the Nine Yang Scripture.

After advancing to the Bright Aperture Stage, the talent of the clones also changed.

For example, the Pure Yang Body’s talent effect became ‘Yang-element martial techniques/spell techniques cultivation speed +300%, Yang-element martial techniques/spell techniques power +100%’!

There were also similar changes to a.n.a.logy and Testify by Killing.

[a.n.a.logy: For every additional Perfection-stage martial technique/spell technique, the cultivation speed of the martial technique/spell technique will increase by 10% (Maximum 200%), the power of the martial technique/spell technique will increase by 5% (Maximum 100%)]

[Testify by Killing: Attack-type martial techniques/spell techniques cultivation speed+50%, combat skill comprehension speed+100%. Every time you kill a living being, there is a certain chance of obtaining an epiphany. Increase your cultivation level/martial techniques/spell technique progress (The higher the cultivation level of a living being, the higher the probability)]

Compared to the previous effects, the effects of these three talents now all included spells.

Obviously, it meant that the effect of talent could also be used on spells.

As for Perseverance, Superior Martial Arts, and Well-versed, the effect of these talents was the same as before.

This change made Lin Shen heave a sigh of relief.

What he was most worried about was that the effect of his talent wouldn’t work on spells.

If that were the case, it would definitely greatly reduce the efficiency of his cultivation and affect his strength.

Fortunately, the worst didn’t happen.

He was a little disappointed that well-versed was ineffective against spells.

As for the fact that his Superior Martial Arts hadn’t changed, Lin Shen wasn’t too disappointed.

When he was fighting enemies now, most of the time, he would use Testify by Killing.

Only when facing a very troublesome enemy would he choose to use Pure Yang Body or a.n.a.logy depending on the situation.

Superior Martial Arts were rarely used.

Most of the time, the clone used this talent to cultivate martial techniques.

“Speaking of which, the effect of Perseverance is falling behind my development. Should I change it and find a new talent?” Lin Shen suddenly thought.

Perseverance’s talent effect was “Resistance +50%, Stamina Recovery +30%, Injury Recovery +30%”.

Among them, the ability to withstand blows was effective to his body only.

However, he had the Cloud Suppression Robe on the outside and the Forbidden Golden Armor on the inside. There was almost no need for him to purely rely on his body to resist the enemy’s attacks.

If things really developed to that stage, the enemy’s strength would definitely far surpa.s.s his. Even if his resistance was doubled, it wouldn’t change the

outcome..
