Tiannan Prefecture.

Qingshui County.

As one of the lowest ranking among many counties.

Qingshui County There is really nothing worth mentioning.

The only thing worth mentioning is that there is a Clear Spring within the boundaries of the county. The spring water is very clear. There is a small thing called Qingguang fish growing in it. The meat is very delicate and is very popular among the upper class.

Qingshui Outer City.

White Cloud Temple, Great Yan Daoism is not prosperous.

There is only such a Daoist temple in the entire Qingshui County.

On weekdays, incense is scarce, and most of the poor people come to burn incense and seek some ethereal sustenance. Therefore, although the Daoist temple is quite large, there are only a dozen or so Daoists in it.

At this time, it is in the backyard of the Daoist temple Cloud Room.

"Xiaoman, you said that both Zhou Xingwen He Lanjian died at the hands of Lin Sheng!?"

In Cloud Room, Qi Ning looked at the petite figure opposite with a bit of emotion on his face.

"That's right, you can't believe it, right? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it either." Lan Man shook his head slightly and spread his hands.

"But this is absolutely true. That boy Lin's strength is far beyond what you and I expected. He does have the strength to threaten Divine Form Martial Artist, especially in terms of attack, it is almost comparable to Divine Form Fourth Transformation's existence, but he is somewhat lacking in physical skills."

Speaking of this, Lan Man also showed some emotion on his face.

"Furthermore, this boy has a lot of fighting experience and a cunning mind. He seized an opportunity and directly killed He Lanjian. His decisiveness was so ruthless that I can't believe he is only in his twenties!"

"It's such a huge leap, how could it be..."

Qi Ning's face was slightly moved, but it still showed a bit of surprise.

She knew that Lan Man would not lie to her, but this kind of thing was really hard for people to believe.

Taking a deep breath, Qi Ning said slowly.

"Actually, he is less than twenty years old. As far as I know, he should only turn eighteen by the end of this year."

"What!?"

Hearing this, Lan Man's eyes widened and his mouth grew so big that it could almost fit an egg into it.

In her impression, Lin Sheng is a taciturn, strong man with sharp features. No matter how he deals with others or his behavior, he has a sense of maturity. Even if he is in his 30s, he is normal.

Unexpectedly, he was less than eighteen.

What was I doing when I was eighteen!?

Lan Man This thought flashed through his mind for no reason.

I seem to have just joined Dark Star, and I am still a Star Disciple in the Muscle Forging realm world...

This fucking person is more likely to die than anyone else.

She didn't know how many years it had been since she had used foul language, but now she really wanted to do it again.

"Being able to kill Divine Form Martial Artist at the age of eighteen is probably even more talented than the two in the organization."

"Lin Sheng is the younger brother of Lin Miao." Qi Ning said leisurely.

"Huh!? Why is this kid so talented? Damn, I knew it wasn't that simple." Hearing this, Lan Man suddenly understood and couldn't help but say. "But I think this guy is even better than Lin Miao and Ren Qionglou."

Soon, she patted her thigh as if she had thought of something.

"Sister Qi, why is this guy one of us Dark Star? Such a talent cannot be wasted in vain. I think we should recommend him to the Pavilion Master, so that it is not a waste."

"It's late."

Qi Ning shook his head slightly, with a look of regret on his face.

"The two pavilion masters took Lin Miao and Ren Qionglou away from Great Yan to the ancestral land a year ago. I don't know when they will come back."

"This is indeed a pity. It would be great if Mr. Lin could show such talent earlier."

Lan Man frowned, tilted his head, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"The two pavilion masters are gone, isn't there another one? That one's strength is no weaker than that of the pavilion master. The only shortcoming is that his head is a bit... ahem, the one who hasn't had an apprentice for so many years, with Lin Sheng's talent, maybe he can catch his eye!!"

"That one..."

Qi Ning had a thoughtful look on his face, but he still had some concerns.

"That person is indeed capable, but his temper... Well, let's wait until I report this matter to the superior. But regardless of whether that person has the idea of accepting a disciple, it is necessary to improve Lin Sheng's status and authority in the organization before that."

"Okay, I'll go deliver the message right away."

Lan Man had a smile on his face and turned around to leave.

"Wait, where is he now?"

"I placed him outside Yan County in the bamboo building where I was in seclusion. Don't worry, the location is quite hidden and will not be discovered by the court. And only you and I know about Lin Sheng's strength. He Lanjiang and Zhou Xingwen died to encircle and suppress me, but now he has lost his life. The court's first suspect must be me."

"So, that kid should be fine."

"Okay."

Bamboo House.

In a rather simple attic.

The scorching heat emanated from it, causing even the fabrics in the room to smell burnt.

Finally, the silk curtain suddenly burst into flames.

But soon there was a cold breath in the room.

It seems like we have gone from hot summer to cold winter in a blink of an eye.

A thin layer of frost even appeared in the attic, and all the fabrics that had been burned were quickly extinguished.

Not long after, the coldness dissipated and the burning aura swept over again.

So cold and hot alternating constantly.

It's just that this simple attic is already riddled with holes, and after constant thermal expansion and contraction, a large number of fine lines appear on the main body, and it seems that there is a possibility of complete fragmentation and collapse at any time.

Finally, as the frequency of hot and cold alternating in the room became faster and faster, an explosion suddenly sounded from Bamboo House.

Bamboo House, which was already overwhelmed, was completely reduced to a pile of ruins.

In the center of the ruins, on a bulge, there was a bang, and the stacked broken bamboo boards were blown away.

Lin Sheng stepped out of it.

He didn't care about the collapsed Bamboo House. At this moment, he was frowning, and the clothes on his body had already been ripped out by the force.

"It doesn't work."

There was a look of surprise on his face. Just now he was trying to practice Anode and Yin-Yang Union Skill at the same time.

If you want to perform Yin-Yang Fusion directly, practicing in this way can save the efficiency of practice to a great extent.

When I first started practicing, it was smooth sailing. I didn't feel any difficulty.

It's just a pity that as more and more yin and yang qi are stimulated from the body, the balance is extremely difficult to master. The last two types of qi with completely different attributes were completely chaotic and exploded completely in his body. Not only did he damage his muscles and veins, but the aftermath that spread out in all directions directly collapsed the Bamboo House.

"It seems that I took this technique too much for granted before. Although there is a system panel and the targeted entry of the corresponding Strange Beast into the body can greatly speed up the practice of this technique, it also means that it is extremely difficult to maintain the balance of yin and yang in the body. If you are not careful, the true energy will be disordered, causing this situation."

Lin Sheng frowned, lost in thought, and carefully felt the situation inside his body.

With the strength of his body, although the meridians were damaged, this level of damage was nothing to him. At this moment, the meridians in his body had healed quickly and he was basically back to normal.

However, the yin and yang energy that he had spent a whole morning condensing was completely empty. Apparently, the previous explosion in Beijing had squandered all the energy that he had finally cultivated.

You can tolerate injuries during practice, but you can't tolerate hard work that ends up being useless.

"This martial arts..."

Lin Sheng looked a little unhappy, and for a moment the thought of giving up this martial arts flashed through his mind.

But soon he shook his head slightly.

He is not a person who likes to give up easily.

"That's it, let's test it a few more times. If it really doesn't work, forget it..."

Thinking of this, he glanced at Bamboo House, which was already in ruins.

"It's just a pity, this is Bamboo House."

Fortunately, there was more than one Bamboo House. Although the largest one collapsed, there were two much smaller Bamboo Houses on both sides, but they were more than enough to accommodate one person.

He raised his foot and shook, and the ground immediately exploded, covering up the ruins.

When he was about to go to the small building next to him, he suddenly stopped in his steps, exuding a dangerous aura, and turned his head to look at the bamboo forest on one side.

But when he saw the graceful figure in the bamboo forest, the aura on his body disappeared instantly.

"Sure enough, your strength has improved greatly compared to the last time we met."

In the bamboo forest, a figure in a black dress slowly came out, looking at Lin Sheng with a somewhat complicated and unexpected look in his eyes.

"Originally, I didn't quite believe Lan Man told me the truth, but now I do believe it a little bit."

"Senior Sister Qi."

Looking at the incoming person, Lin Sheng straightened his expression and bowed his hands.

The visitor is none other than Qi Ning.

The shadow flashed, and Qi Ning was already in front of Lin Sheng.

His deep eyes kept looking up and down at Lin Sheng.

It wasn't until Lin Sheng felt a little uncomfortable that he stopped.

"How long has it been and you have grown to this point?"

Qi Ning's voice was a bit sad.

Looking at Lin Sheng at this time, she couldn't help but think of the extremely immature boy outside Lin'an County.

It has only been two years, and the originally fragile and small life has become a tall mountain rising from the ground, and it continues to expand and expand as time goes by.

At that time, the choice to connect it to Dark Star organization was just a whim.

She never expected such a huge change.

"This matter also had Sister Lan's help, otherwise it would not have been so smooth."

Lin Sheng knew what the other party was talking about, shook his head slightly and said.

He knew that he couldn't hide what happened this time, but there was no need to hide it.

Because now he has enough power to protect himself.

Even if he faced Divine Form mid-to-late-stage warriors, even if he lost, he could still escape with the help of his earth-moving ability.

Exposing your strength beyond your scope before you grow up may cause a lot of trouble, but exposing your strength after you grow up is not necessarily a bad thing.

"Lan Man has already told me what happened. Without you, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to come back this time."

Qi Ning spoke softly, and suddenly his tone became solemn and he warned.

"I will find a way to help you solve this matter. It is best not to reveal your strength easily, otherwise it will be troublesome to be targeted by Imperial Court, especially at this time."

"I understand." Lin Sheng nodded.

"In addition, I have another thing to do when I come here this time." Qi Ning's face softened a lot, and the topic suddenly changed.

"What's the matter?" Lin Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Improve your status within the organization and find you a suitable teacher." Qi Ning gently fiddled with the black hair scattered on his forehead and spoke slowly. "I originally planned to report this matter after the Congyun Mountain Range came out, but it was delayed because of the Beast Taming Army matter. Now it seems that it is better to delay it, otherwise it would be a waste to find you a random teacher based on your talent."

"Teacher?" Lin Sheng was stunned. It was normal to improve his status in Dark Star, but the teacher's matter was a bit unexpected.

"Yes, with your talent, a good teacher is necessary."

Qi Ning said seriously.

In fact, she had the idea of accepting Lin Sheng as her disciple, but her Bloodline talent was not very consistent with the exercises she practiced, so she wanted to find a more suitable Blazing Star Emissary from within the organization to be her master.

However, with the strength Lin Sheng is showing now, Blazing Star Emissary is obviously not suitable to be a teacher.

"Originally, the most suitable ones were naturally the two pavilion masters of Dark Star. It's just a pity that the two pavilion masters are not in Great Yan now, and the two pavilion masters already have disciples. However, there are many strong people in the organization. In addition to the two pavilion masters, there is also veteran Dark Star Emissary, whose strength is not much inferior to the pavilion masters."

"Dark Star Emissary!?" Lin Sheng was shocked.

He didn't expect that the teacher Qi Ning mentioned was actually Dark Star Emissary.

The Blazing Star Emissary level is already qualified for Divine Form Martial Artist, so Dark Star Emissary means the realm above Divine Form.

"That's right, it's Dark Star Emissary, and he's the strongest Dark Star among the several Dark Star Emissarys in the organization."

Qi Ning spoke in a deep voice.

"Your physique Bloodline should be good at strength, and what this Dark Star Emissary has learned is quite consistent with yours. I have sent a letter to the organization, and there should be a reply soon. However, that Dark Star has a weird temperament. I wonder if he has any intention of accepting a disciple."

"But don't worry, if it doesn't work, I will introduce you to other suitable Dark Star Emissary."

"In short, it will not bury your talent. It will allow you to practice the Supreme true skill that can truly unleash your talent. It will be enough for you to practice all the way to the top of Void Transformation."

"Thank you Senior Sister Qi." After hearing Qi Ning's words, Lin Sheng immediately bowed.

This gift was sincere. There were not many people who really helped him along the way, but Qi Ning in front of him was definitely one of them, and it helped him a lot.

And many times Qi Ning is one of his trump cards.

After all, it is self-evident what a Divine Form boss meant when he was in his early days.

"Well, if you have no talent, I will naturally not value you. All this is due to your own efforts." Qi Ning smiled and shook his head.

"In addition, apart from the matter of apprenticeship, which has not yet been decided, the matter of improving your status is basically certain. You will receive a reply soon. By then, you will be the new Blazing Star Emissary. At that time, I will ask Yellow Dog to send you a token, as well as Blazing Star Emissary's benefits. In short, I will definitely not let you down."
