Lin Shen was overjoyed and immediately focused his senses.
The information that suddenly appeared in his mind was about Meltdown's cultivation insights and understanding.
Looking at the interface again, Meltdown's cultivation progress had already become "Proficient, 86%".
In an instant, it increased by a full 10%!
"Awesome! That's great!"
Lin Shen was filled with joy.
Although it was only a 10% cultivation progress, it would take at least three to four days for the Superior Martial Arts clone to cultivate.
He had only killed a demon wolf to achieve that effect. Testify by Killing was indeed incomparably powerful!
"It's a pity that the probability of triggering it is a little low. Four Ascension Stage spiritual beasts only triggered it once. That's a 25% probability."
Lin Shen shook his head. Only four samples weren't enough to test the exact probability.
He had to hunt more spiritual beasts to get the statistics!
Under the effect of Testify by Killing, the boring and arduous process of hunting spiritual beasts immediately became a joyous process of quickly increasing his strength.
Lin Shen felt full of motivation.
After the initial pleasant surprise, he looked at the demon wolves!
corpses on the ground. He didn't waste them and put the dead bodies into his storage jade plate.
A demon wolf at the early phase of the Ascension Stage was still quite useful.
For example, those incomparably hard fangs could be used to refine weapons.
There was also the wolf meat. Although it wasn't comparable to the Bright Aperture spiritual beast meat sold in the Nine Yang Academy's canteen, it was still spiritual beast meat. It was as good as some artificially cultivated fine spiritual beast meat.
Even if he didn't sell the meat, he could still eat it as a snack.
However, the wolf meat might not taste that good.
After packing up the demon wolf's corpse, Lin Shen continued forward.
There were countless spiritual beasts in the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range. Although those in the outermost area had been constantly killed by cultivators, there were still spiritual beasts surging out from the depths of the mountain range.
As far as Lin Shen knew, the frequency of spiritual beasts appearing seemed to be higher than before.
Was there a demon tribe behind this?
Before long, Lin Shen encountered another three demon wolves.
After a clean kill, it didn't trigger the effect of Testify by Killing.
Lin Shen wasn't discouraged and continued his trip.
By the time he crossed the mountain, he had killed more than ten demon wolves.
The effect of Testify by Killing had only been triggered once.
Lin Shen was a little disappointed, but on second thought, the effect of Testify by Killing was so powerful. Even if the possibility of triggering it was lower than 10%, it was already good enough.
He would just have to kill more spiritual beasts.
After calming down, Lin Shen summoned Ai.
The outermost ring of the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range had been plundered by the academy disciples of the three great sects countless times over the years. They had turned over every stone, and any rare and precious herbs that were slightly valuable had long been taken away. It was impossible for him to find anything.
That was why Lin Shen didn't take Ai out at first.
"I think we're deep enough. If we're lucky, we might be able to find something good!"
Lin Shen scratched Ai's chin and smiled.
"Ai, the treasure hunt is about to begin. You have to work hard."
"Don't treat me like an ordinary cat!"
Ai protested Lin Shen's action of scratching her chin, but her narrowed eyes showed she clearly enjoyed it.
After playing for a while, they began to search for treasures.
Ai lay on Lin Shen's shoulder, looking left and right. From time to time, she would raise her chubby claws to point the way.
She was surprisingly efficient. Not long after, he brought Lin Shen to a corner under a big tree and found her target.
It was grass that was only three inches tall, and it was green like emeralds!
"This is... wood spirit herb!"
Lin Shen's eyes lit up, and he carefully dug out the herb.
He had seen the mission to collect wood spirit herbs in the mission hall.
The requirement was five wood spirit herbs that were no less than 30 years old, and the reward was 80 merit points.
In other words, this wood spirit herb was worth 16 merit points!
Lin Shen was very happy to have a good start not long after the treasure hunt began. He praised Ai generously, making her smile.
In the following period of time, the man and the cat searched around the mountain.
Only when they were attacked by spiritual beasts would Lin Shen temporarily put Ai into the Beast Taming Pouch and release her again after getting rid of the beasts.
Two hours later.
Three wood spirit herbs, an ebony root, and two frost flowers were added to Lin Shen's storage jade plate.
The total value was about 120 merit points.
It was enough to exchange for three bottles of Condensing Pills!
Lin Shen was satisfied.
Other Long Breath Stage disciples might not even gain so much after entering the mountain for three to four days.
And he only used half a day.
The difference was simply too great!
It was all thanks to Ai!
Looking at Ai, who was looking around to sense the natural spiritual essence on his shoulder, Lin Shen couldn't help but sigh.
It seemed to agree to the cat general's request of adopting Ai was indeed the right thing to do.
With Ai's treasure-hunting ability, he could earn a lot of merit points in a short time and exchange them for resources to quickly increase his strength.
After sighing for a moment, Lin Shen restrained his emotions and continued to search for treasures.
In the battle just now, the effect of Testify by Killing was triggered again.
This time, there was an increase in his cultivation.
It directly increased Lin Shen's cultivation progress by 6%, and he was 88% at the second level of Long Breath!
At this rate, he might be able to break through to the third level of the Long Breath Stage by the end of this training!
Thinking of this, Lin Shen became even more motivated.
