Chapter 345: Difficult Bone to Chew (1)

As soon as Qi Dao finished speaking, all the Elders present had different expressions.

The three Elders of the master-disciple lineage smiled and nodded, casting gentle gazes at Lin Shen.

The three Elders of the influential families were expressionless as they looked at Lin Shen indifferently.

“He’s the first genius in the history of our sect to forge a first-grade spirit meridian. His talent is naturally outstanding.”

The person who chimed in was Elder Wen Jintian, the head of the Disciplinary Department, an eighth-level Mystic Light Stage cultivator master.

The Disciplinary Department was in charge of punishing disciples who violated the sect’s rules. It was a place that made countless disciples pale.

However, the head of the Disciplinary Department had a kind face and a warm expression. He looked like a kind old man.

Lin Shen bowed slightly with a calm expression and said, “Elder Wen, you flatter me.”

“You’re not arrogant or impatient. Good,” Wen Jintian praised Lin Shen again.

An influential family Elder cleared his throat. “Let’s get down to business.”

Wen Jintian chuckled and didn’t say anything else.

Qi Dao stared at Lin Shen with bright eyes and said sternly,

“Although you’re Master Yu’s disciple, since you’ve come to the spirit cave, we have to treat everyone equally. Like the other disciples, we won’t give you any preferential treatment. You’d better have this realization.”

“I understand,” Lin Shen immediately said.

He knew that Qi Dao’s words were meant for the three Elders of the influential families.

Judging from that, Qi Dao should be leaning toward the master-disciple lineage.

Hearing this, Qi Dao smiled and nodded. With a wave of his hand, an ink map instantly appeared on the long table in front of him.

He didn’t make any movements, but the surface of the map immediately emitted a faint light, forming a lifelike three-dimensional map.

It was the detailed terrain of the spirit cave.

Lin Shen had seen Xie Jingsheng use a similar Dharma treasure when they were conquering the Tiger Tribe. He wasn’t surprised to see this and only listened.

“Liao Sen should have told you the details.”

Seeing Lin Shen nod, Qi Dao continued,

“You’re new here. Logically speaking, I should assign you some simple scouting missions to familiarize you with the situation. However, the current situation is urgent, and there’s no time for you to adapt.”

At this point, Qi Dao paused. Seeing that Lin Shen’s expression was still calm, he couldn’t help but nod inwardly.

Master Yu’s disciple was indeed outstanding. Not only was he talented and powerful, but his temperament was also extraordinary. He wasn’t shocked by favor or humiliation.

A look of admiration flashed across his eyes. Qi Dao pointed at three places on the map and continued.

“There are array points in all three places, and they are all occupied by the Blood Sea Sect. Your next mission is to seize one of the array points and guard it for at least a month.”

Lin Shen focused his attention on those three places.

The map phantom was very realistic, completely replicating the true terrain of the spirit cave.

The three places that Qi Dao pointed at were marked with array flags, indicating that there were array points here.

Besides the pattern, there was also a label in small words indicating the garrison force of the Blood Sea Sect at the array point that the sect disciples had discovered.

There were five Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator masters at the weakest formation point, including at least one mid-phase one.

There were as many as ten Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator masters in the strongest garrison, and it was very likely that there were late-stage ones involved.

Of course, this information might not be completely accurate and could only be used as a reference.

Lin Shen quickly looked at the three array points, and he instantly understood all the information.

But in the next second, his gaze suddenly froze.

This was because he suddenly noticed that one of the three formation points was set beside an underground river.

According to the cat general, the underground river in the underground spirit cave was often a natural source of Yin energy. The surrounding air was cold, and the water was abundant. It was most suitable for cultivating the Nether Yin Heavy Water.

If he could take down this array point, he could use the cold air to condense the Nether Yin Heavy Water while completing the mission. It was killing two birds with one stone.

Lin Shen was overjoyed.

A large part of the reason he came to the underground spirit cave was to find the Yin energy vein to cultivate the Nether Yin Heavy Water. He didn’t expect to find his target the moment he arrived at the spirit cave. He felt very lucky.

Qi Dao didn’t know what Lin Shen was thinking. Seeing that Lin Shen was silent, he thought that the young man was thinking. He waited patiently for a moment before asking,

“Have you decided which array point to choose?”

Lin Shen had already made up his mind. Hearing this, he said without thinking, “I’ll choose the C-3 array point!”

The formation points on the map were all named after the serial number, and the C-3 formation point was the formation point with the strongest garrison.

As soon as Lin Shen finished speaking, Qi Dao looked a little stunned. The other six Eiders also had strange expressions.

The hall fell into a strange silence.

A moment later, Qi Dao asked with an inexplicable expression, “Are you sure you want to choose the C-3 formation point?”

These three array points were jointly discussed by the seven Elders. They had to be taken down in the near future, not specifically for Lin Shen.

Even if Lin Shen didn’t come here, they would arrange for other people to attack them later.

Lin Shen was just an accidental choice.

Among the three formation points, Qi Dao originally wanted Lin Shen to choose the D-5 formation point, which was the formation point with the weakest garrison.

With Lin Shen’s strength and cultivation, if he planned seriously, he could probably take down that formation point.

However, the C-3 formation point… In the Elders’ original expectations, they had to mobilize many Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator masters to work together to take it down.

Although Lin Shen was very capable, the chances of him taking down C-3 alone were really slim..
