I Have Countless Clones

Chapter 317: Choose a Master (1)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Nine Suns Sect was misty and ethereal like a crimson Blessed Land.

There were thousands of auspicious clouds in the hall, and a clear aura lingered. There were three people sitting on the jade platform.

Everyone’s appearances were blurry. They were like light and shadow and were real and illusory at the same time. With one look, one could tell that they were all clones.

Huo Enrong, who was sitting in the middle, swept his gaze across the other two and said in a deep voice, “Fellow Daoist Li, Fellow Daoist Yu, 1 believe the two of you have already heard about Lin Shen.”

Master Li, who was on the left, nodded slightly and said with a smile, “Of course. The Nine Suns Sect’s first cultivator master to attain a first-grade spirit meridian has already spread like wildfire throughout the entire sect. How could 1 not know?”

Master Yu, who was on the right, also nodded slightly.

Huo Enrong pondered and said, “He became a cultivator master with a first-grade spirit meridian. Even our Sect Master did achieve that back then. More importantly, this child has no background and relied on himself to get where he is now. Be it his aptitude or temperament, it’s really breathtaking!

“This child has a bright future ahead of him, and he has long established a relationship with the master-disciple lineage. In my opinion, it’s best to take him in as soon as possible. What do you guys think?”

Master Li stroked his beard and smiled. “Very good. The Three Sect Competition will be held soon. If our lineage can have another genius, we can add another person to the quota.”

“I have no objections either,” Master Yu said slowly.

The voice was unexpectedly melodious, like the sound of a mountain spring. Master Yu was a female cultivator.

Seeing that neither of them had any objections, Huo Enrong smiled and said unhurriedly,

“In that case, one of us will take Lin Shen as a disciple.”

Master Li was about to speak when Master Yu said,

“1’11 take Lin Shen in as my disciple.”

As soon as she said this, Huo Enrong and Master Li looked surprised.

Although Master Yu was one of the three hall masters of the master-disciple lineage, she was usually engrossed in cultivation and rarely cared about external matters. Even if she came to participate in the meeting like this, she rarely spoke about the sect’s matters. Usually, it was the two of them who discussed and made decisions.

This was the first time she had taken the initiative to take over a task.

However, on second thought, Huo Enrong and Master Li were relieved.

After all, Lin Shen was a cultivation genius with a first-grade spirit meridian and had a bright future. It wasn’t surprising that Master Yu was tempted.

Both Huo Enrong and Master Li had many disciples. On the other hand, Master Yu only had one core disciple under her.

It was rare for her to make that offer, so Huo Enrong and Headmaster Li couldn’t compete with her.

The two of them looked at each other and agreed after some thought.

“Then we’ll leave him to Fellow Daoist Yu!”

After staying in the East District for two days, Lin Shen bade farewell to Ai and returned to the Nine Yang Academy.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw a paper crane flying toward him.

Lin Shen reached out to take it and unfolded it. It was a letter from Si Yuanpei, asking him to meet him as soon as he returned to the academy.

“Speaking of which, once a disciple of an academy advances to a cultivator master, they will automatically graduate from the academy.”

Lin Shen couldn’t help but sigh.

He had only been in the academy for about two years. Most of his time was spent outside training or in seclusion. He had spent less than one-fifth of his time in the academy.

Even he didn’t expect to become a cultivator master so quickly.

However, Lin Shen quickly composed himself.

Looking back in the future, the Nine Yang Academy would only be one of the countless footholds he had climbed in his cultivation journey. There was no need to linger.

When he arrived at the courtyard where Master Si lived, Xie Jingsheng was already waiting at the door.

When he saw Lin Shen, he immediately smiled.

“Se… Jun… Master Lin…”

Seeing that Xie Jingsheng didn’t know how to address him, Lin Shen smiled and said, “Senior Brother, just call me as before.”

Xie Jingsheng smiled awkwardly. “Junior Brother Lin!”

As he spoke, Xie Jingsheng sighed inwardly.

A year ago, he first met Lin Shen when they were conquering the Tiger Tribe. At that time, Lin Shen was only a slightly famous disciple of the lower house.

Who would have thought that in less than a year, Lin Shen had already become a cultivator master?

It was so incredible! He almost thought he was dreaming.

Xie Jingsheng had not even reached the ninth level of the Bright Aperture Stage, let alone condensing a spirit meridian.

Thinking of this, Xie Jingsheng couldn’t help but feel conflicted.

Fortunately, he quickly composed himself and turned around to lead the way.

“Let’s go, Junior Brother Lin. Master is waiting for you inside!”

The two of them walked side by side.

It was the same classical and quiet tea room.

Xie Jingsheng walked Lin Shen to the door of the tea room and turned to leave.

Lin Shen pushed the door open and entered.

The layout of the tea room was still abnormally simple. Apart from a table and two futons, there was nothing else.

Si Yuanpei sat behind the table opposite the door.

Unlike before, when he saw Lin Shen this time, he no longer sat down peacefully. Instead, he stood up and bowed.

“Greetings, Fellow Daoist Lin.”

Lin Shen was slightly stunned and returned the greeting with a strange expression.

This slight change in expression didn’t escape Si Yuanpei’s eyes. He smiled faintly and said:

“Becoming a cultivator master means that you’re one of us. We’re both Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivators, so we should get along as equals in the future.” There was a pause, then he said something else.

“As for how you and Jingsheng should address each other in private, that’s up to you.”

It was obvious that he had heard Lin Shen and Xie Jingsheng’s conversation outside.

Lin Shen nodded thoughtfully.

Cultivator masters were the backbone of a sect.

Being promoted to cultivator master meant that he had already left the ranks of ordinary disciples and was starting to step into the ranks of the upper echelons..
