If he was lucky, it was not impossible for Lin Shen to forge a second-grade spirit meridian!
However, Ai Jingting didn’t think that way.
She felt that Lin Shen would have no problem forging a second-grade spirit meridian.
Even Jiang Wanying, who had forged 38 spirit meridians, had been killed by Lin Shen. Lin Shen couldn’t be worse than Jiang Wanying, right?
In fact, Lin Shen might even be able to forge the legendary first-grade spirit meridian!
If that were the case, the entire sect would probably be in an uproar!
After leaving the pill pavilion, Lin Shen returned to the upper house and prepared to continue working on his spirit meridians.
On the way, he couldn’t help but think about Cast Spirit Pills.
Including the 180 Cast Spirit Pills he had just obtained, he now had a total of more than 210 Cast Spirit Pills.
Lin Shen estimated that this bit of pills was probably not enough for a single clone to forge the spirit meridians to the limit.
There was still a huge gap in the Cast Spirit Pills.
“The spirit cave is currently at war. 1 don’t think 1 can go inside to collect spirit dust for the time being. This way, I can only spend merit points to exchange for it in the merit hall.”
Lin Shen secretly frowned.
It was time-consuming and laborious to exchange merit points for Cast Spirit Pills.
If he wanted to exchange for enough Cast Spirit Pills, it would probably take him a year or two.
That would take too long.
But if he didn’t use this method, what else could he do?
Lin Shen’s expression changed slightly as he thought of the Mystic Essence Liquid.
However, he immediately shook his head.
According to Xie Jingsheng, the Mystic Essence Liquid was extremely precious. Even in the sect, many disciples follow it. It was extremely difficult to obtain even a little.
It was already very rare for him to get eight drops from Ji Zhixuan. It wouldn’t be easy for him to get more.
Moreover, he didn’t have any connections.
While he was thinking, Lin Shen had already returned to his courtyard. He looked up and saw Xie Jingsheng standing at the door.
“Senior Brother Xie!”
Xie Jingsheng turned around and smiled.
“Junior Brother Lin, you’re finally back!
“Master wants to see you.”
Master Si?
Lin Shen was stunned. “Why does Master Si want to see me?”
“I’m not sure about that, but it’s probably related to what happened before,” Xie Jingsheng said.
Lin Shen was deep in thought when he suddenly thought of the Mystic Essence Liquid. His heart skipped a beat, and he left with Xie Jingsheng.
When he saw Si Yuanpei again, he was still in the simple tea room.
When Lin Shen arrived, the house head was tasting tea.
The fragrance of tea filled the entire room. With a light sniff, he felt refreshed.
“Have a seat.”
Si Yuanpei pointed to the opposite side. A cup of tea was already placed on the table.
“Cloud-washing Incense, a spiritual tea produced in the Wood Ancestor City. Drinking it for a long time has the effect of strengthening the soul. Try it.” Lin Shen sat down and took a sip of tea.
As the tea entered his stomach, he suddenly felt a sense of clarity. His eyes and ears seemed to have become much sharper.
A fragrance lingered in his mouth for a long time.
“How wonderful!” Lin Shen praised.
Si Yuanpei smiled faintly, put down the teacup in his hand, and said unhurriedly,
“You’ve contributed a lot to expose the Blood Sea Sect’s scheme to invade the spirit cave. Several sect masters of the Military Academy have said that they want to reward you. What do you want?”
Lin Shen’s eyes lit up, and he said without hesitation, “Mystic Essence Liquid!”
Si Yuanpei looked at him knowingly as if he wasn’t surprised by this answer at all. Then, he said calmly,
“Not an option.”

Lin Shen was speechless.
He thought, “Then why did you ask me in the first place?”
“Dragonside City doesn’t produce Mystic Essence Liquid. It’s traded from other large cities every year. There’s a limited number, so there’s even less when it’s distributed to the three major sects.
“There are many disciples who want the Mystic Essence Liquid. Every year, the Mystic Essence Liquid is very scarce, and this year is even more so.”
At this point, Si Yuanpei glanced at Lin Shen.
“I wonder what Elder Ji got from Wu Ji. He was actually willing to give you eight drops of the Mystic Essence Liquid at once. Many disciples have wanted to trade with him, but now, they’re all greatly disappointed.”
Hearing this, Lin Shen couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.
It sounded like he had taken a huge advantage.
“Master Si, where did Dragonside City get the Mystic Essence Liquid from?” Lin Shen asked after some thought.
Si Yuanpei didn’t hide anything and tapped the teacup in front of Lin Shen.
“In the entire East Sea Path, there are only three places that can produce Mystic Essence Liquid. Wood Ancestor City is one of them. It’s also the closest major city to us.”
Lin Shen’s gaze landed on the teacup, and a thoughtful look flashed across his eyes.
As if reading his mind, Si Yuanpei said indifferently, “Don’t think about it. The Mystic Essence Liquid of the Ancestral Wood City is never open to trade with individual cultivators. It only trades with large cities once a year. This year’s trade has already ended.”
Hearing this, Lin Shen was instantly disappointed.
In that case, wouldn’t he have to wait until next year to obtain the Mystic Essence Liquid?
Wait!
Lin Shen suddenly realized something.
If there was really no other way, why would Si Yuanpei tell him so many things?
Lin Shen looked up at Si Yuanpei and said respectfully, “Master Si, do you have any tips for me?”
A look of admiration flashed across Si Yuanpei’s eyes as he said, “The Wood Ancestor City holds a Xuandu Meeting every three years. It’s open to all cultivators below the level of cultivator masters. Be it itinerant cultivators or sects, as long as they obtain the corresponding token, they can partic.i.p.ate. The venue is on Xuandu Mountain.
“And Xuandu Mountain is the place where the Mystic Essence Liquid is produced!
“During the Xuandu Convention, all partic.i.p.ants can enter Xuandu Mountain to look for the Mystic Essence Liquid. Everything obtained in the mountain will belong to the partic.i.p.ants!
“As far as I know, the latest Xuandu Convention will be held in a month!”
Lin Shen was very surprised.
Since the Ancestral Wood City had specially restricted the transaction target and time of the Mystic Essence Liquid, why did they need to organize a Xuandu Meeting?
Moreover, Xuandu Mountain was the source of Mystic Essence Liquid. Such a place should be heavily guarded. Why would they allow cultivators from other factions to enter?
Even if it was only once every three years, this action was very puzzling.
Lin Shen couldn’t help but ask the question in his mind.
Upon hearing that, Si Yuanpei said calmly, “This is the ancestral teachings left behind by the Mystic Spirit Sect in the Ancestral Wood City. It’s said that it was set by the first sect master who founded the Mystic Spirit Sect.”
Ancestral teachings?
Lin Shen was surprised.
However, he quickly stopped thinking about it.
No matter what, the upcoming Xuandu Meeting was good news for him.
This was also the only way to obtain the Mystic Essence Liquid in a short period of time!
If everything went smoothly, he might be able to advance to a cultivator master on Xuandu Mountain!
“The sect has obtained a total of three Xuandu Tokens this time. Although they have already been distributed, if you want them, 1 believe the headmasters of the Military Department have a way to get one for you. How about that?” Si Yuanpei looked at Lin Shen steadily.
Without any hesitation, Lin Shen made up his mind.
“Thank you, Master Si!”
