Although Wu Luo had clearly stated that the matter of killing Wu Jing would be written off and that he would no longer find trouble with Lin Shen over this matter, Lin Shen still had no intention of entering the Great Swamp of the West. After separating from the red fox, he immediately returned to Dragonside City.
Before parting, the red fox gave Lin Shen a talisman to contact her.
As long as he entered the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range and injected spiritual essence into the talisman, she would be able to sense its location and come to meet Lin Shen.
Lin Shen then learned the name of the red fox: Qiu Li.
The Haoshan Foxes all took Qiu as their surname.
After returning to the Nine Yang Academy, Lin Shen didn’t have time to catch his breath. He found Yang Zhongyi and went straight to the point.
“Is there a way for me to meet Senior Brother Xie Jingsheng?”
Yang Zhongyi was slightly stunned and asked in surprise, “Why are you looking for Senior Brother Xie? Do you want to ask about challenging the upper house disciples?”
“It has nothing to do with this. I’m looking for him for something else,” Lin Shen said vaguely.
After all, this matter was very important. The fewer people who knew about it, the better.
Seeing that Lin Shen was unwilling to say more, Yang Zhongyi didn’t ask further. He patted his chest and agreed.
“It’s a piece of cake. Wait for my news!”
Yang Zhongyi was still very efficient.
In the evening, Lin Shen met Xie Jingsheng as he wished.
Although the upper and lower houses were both in the Nine Yang Academy, they were separated into different areas.
Only the upper house disciples who held the corresponding token could enter the upper house.
The density of spiritual essence in the residences of the upper house disciples far exceeded that of the lower house disciples.
Even the Class-A Teaching Room where Heaven-rank disciples lived was far inferior.
As soon as he stepped into the wooden building, Lin Shen immediately felt the spiritual energy in the air.
As the spiritual essence washed over him, he immediately felt comfortable inside and out.
“The spiritual essence is so rich!” Lin Shen exclaimed.
He estimated that this residence had most likely reached the level of the Profound Cottage.
Cultivating in such a place with abundant spiritual essence, it was impossible for one’s cultivation to slow down!
Xie Jingsheng, who was walking side by side with Lin Shen, smiled and said, “With Junior Brother Lin’s ability, it won’t be long before you can have a place here.”
Xie Jingsheng was sincere, but he was also amazed.
He had never seen anyone making progress as fast as Lin Shen.
In less than a year after entering the academy, Lin Shen had already reached the Bright Aperture Stage!
Moreover, Xie Jingsheng heard that Lin Shen had already reported that he wanted to challenge Yan Jingren.
If he really succeeded, Lin Shen would undoubtedly be the person who used the shortest time to become an upper-house disciple since the establishment of the Nine Yang Academy!
His aptitude was simply breathtaking!
Except…
Xie Jingsheng suddenly thought of something and reminded Lin Shen.
“Junior Brother Lin, I met Junior Brother Yan a few days ago. His cultivation seems to have improved a lot recently. You have to be careful during the disciple rank challenge in three months!”
“I might not be able to wait until then!”
Lin Shen thought to himself. His expression turned solemn as he said in a low voice, “I happen to have something related to the Yan family that I want to tell Senior Brother Xie!”
The two of them walked into the living room. Seeing Lin Shen’s extremely serious expression, Xie Jingsheng was slightly stunned. He pointed at the coffee table in front of him.
“Junior Brother Lin, please sit down.”
Lin Shen sat down and immediately started talking about the underground spirit cave.
He didn’t hide the source of the information and told Xie Jingsheng that it came from Qiu Li.
Of course, he omitted the incident with Wu Luo.
Hearing this, Xie Jingsheng was shocked and speechless for a long time.
The Yan family wanted to keep the underground spirit cave for themselves behind the sect’s back. That was a very big deal.
Once the news spread, it would definitely cause a huge commotion in the sect!
Xie Jingsheng was extremely sharp and immediately understood why Lin Shen had told him about this. He nodded solemnly.
“I understand what you mean. I’ll go and see my Master now. Before that, please don’t tell anyone!”
“I understand!”
Lin Shen also nodded solemnly. He took out the Imprisonment Bead and handed it to Xie Jingsheng.
This was a serious matter. Xie Jingsheng didn’t dare to delay. He immediately stood up after receiving the Imprisonment Bead.
“Junior Brother Lin, excuse me!”
As soon as he said that, Xie Jingsheng rushed out.
Watching Xie Jingsheng hurrying off, Lin Shen secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
If he wanted to expose the Yan family’s scheme, he had to get someone with enough authority to do it.
As a disciple of the lower house, he definitely didn’t have that power.
Although Xie Jingsheng was a disciple of the upper house, he was also not important enough.
Of all the people Lin Shen knew, only Si Yuanpei had that kind of influence.
As a cultivator master and one of the heads of the lower house, Si Yuanpei had a high status even in the Nine Yang Sect.
More importantly, he wasn’t from an influential family and was even opposing them.
If he knew what the Yan family had done in private, he would definitely not cover up for the Yan family, let alone let go of this great opportunity to weaken the power of the influential families!
In this way, the Yan family would most likely not be able to escape the calamity!
What was more, Lin Shen could hide in the background and didn’t have to endure the upcoming storm!
“It’ll be up to the higher-ups of the sect now.”
After handing over the Imprisonment Bead, Lin Shen couldn’t interfere with anything else.
He didn’t want to waste his energy on getting worried, so he simply threw this matter to the back of his mind.
After leaving the upper house, Lin Shen went straight to the Merit Hall.
After handing over all the black iron bones he had obtained on this trip, he obtained a total of 18 medium merits.
After that, Lin Shen went to the Exchange Hall and exchanged all his medium merits for Spirit Nourishing Pills.
“These Spirit Nourishing Pills should be enough for me to break through to the fifth level of the Bright Aperture Stage!”
Looking at the 15 bottles of Spirit Nourishing Pills in his storage ring, Lin Shen grew excited..
