80: 69 Hidden Cultivation (Requesting Monthly Pass)_3
Shen Long accepted the clay pot and took out a blue Jade Slip, which he handed to Lin Shan.
Lin Shan expressed his thanks and took the Jade Slip.
Shen Long brewed tea to entertain them.
Lin Shan sought advice from Shen Long on the insights of cultivation spells, to which Shen Long responded truthfully.
After the pot of Spiritual Tea was finished, Lin Cheng and Lin Shan bid farewell and left.
Shen Long entered a secret chamber, sat cross-legged on a blue stone bed, and began to cultivate.
A night passed by quickly, and early the next day, Shen Long left Qingmei Courtyard.
He went to Qingcan Court and sent a Sound Transmission Talisman to Lin Cheng.
Before long, the gate of the courtyard opened, and Lin Cheng came out.
“Good morning, Senior Brother Shen!”
Lin Cheng greeted him with a smile.
“Here is the entry token for Qingmei Courtyard.
I am going to cultivate at Green Cloud Palace for a while.
The Silver Marrow Spirit Rice will be left in your care.
Make sure nothing goes wrong, Qingmei Pavilion doesn’t have any valuable items.”
Shen Long took out the token and handed it to Lin Cheng.
“Leave it to me, just focus on your cultivation, Senior Brother Shen.”
Lin Cheng assured him with a pat on his chest and took the token.
Shen Long gave a few words of instruction and then headed up the mountain.
After having a Spiritual Meal, he entered Green Cloud Palace where Qin Shan was arranging Practice Rooms for Ye Yuqing and others.
Soon after, Qin Shan led Shen Long through a bluestone passageway where there were several closed Practice Rooms.
“Congratulations, Junior Brother Shen, I knew I was right about you.”
Qin Shan congratulated him.
“Thank you for your care over the past two-plus years, Senior Brother Qin.
Here’s a small token of my gratitude.”
Shen Long took out fifty Spirit Stones and handed them to Qin Shan.
“You are too polite, Junior Brother Shen, we are sect brothers after all.
There’s no need to be so formal.
I hope you get a good place in the grand competition three years from now, to bring honor to our Green Cloud Peak.”
Qin Shan declined.
Shen Long had attained the twenty-fifth place in the most recent minor competition, and it was highly likely he could enter the top three hundred in the next grand competition in three years—it was possible he might even soar to the skies.
He did not dare to accept a bribe from Shen Long anymore.
“It’s just a small token of appreciation.
I won a thousand Spirit Stones this time; are you saying it’s too little, Senior Brother Qin?”
Shen Long insisted seriously.
“Alright then!
I will accept it.
Just don’t forget about me when you celebrate with a feast after getting a good position in the grand competition, Junior Brother Shen.”
Qin Shan said enthusiastically.
Shen Long nodded and agreed.
Before long, they arrived at the last two Practice Rooms.
Qin Shan took Shen Long to the very last Practice Room, whispering, “This stone chamber was originally reserved for Junior Brother Gu, but he threw a big feast last night and invited many people.
He has not woken up yet, so it’s yours, Junior Brother Shen!
The spiritual energy in this stone chamber is more abundant.
You just need to know, don’t mention it to others.”
There were many Practice Rooms in the Green Cloud Palace.
Some rooms had more abundant spiritual energy and were, according to the rules, reserved for disciples who ranked high in the minor competition.
Qin Shan was in charge of the Practice Rooms, and without his say, other disciples wouldn’t know which rooms had more abundant spiritual energy.
Shen Long nodded, noting that the fifty Spirit Stones had not been spent in vain.
On the large door of the Practice Room was a square recess.
Qin Shan took out a square token, placed it into the recess, and infused it with mana.
The token immediately lit up with a dazzling blue light, and the door opened, revealing a stone chamber more than ten zhang in size, with abundant spiritual energy rushing toward him.
Qin Shan took the token and handed it to Shen Long, saying, “This is the token for entering and exiting the Practice Room.
Keep it safe, Junior Brother Shen.
You can cultivate here for half a year starting from today; I will remind you when the time is up.”
“What if I am in a critical moment of my cultivation when the time is up; will I still need to leave?”
Shen Long asked.
“No need to worry about that.
A few days’ delay is fine; however, if it’s too long, you will have to pay additional Spirit Stones, with a maximum extension of two months.”
Qin Shan explained that not setting a limit would be unfair to other disciples, as those cultivating in the Practice Room could act unreasonable and stay indefinitely.
Shen Long nodded, showing he understood.
“I won’t disturb your cultivation any longer, Junior Brother Shen, farewell.”
Qin Shan turned and left.
Shen Long used the token to close the door.
Inside the stone chamber was a green stone bed about a zhang in length.
Shen Long took out a Fasting Pill and swallowed it.
A Fasting Pill would stave off hunger for a month, offering no direct benefits to cultivation.
However, it allowed one to forgo food and focus entirely on cultivation.
Shen Long had already bought a bottle of Fasting Pills, which now came in handy.
He sat cross-legged on the stone bed and began cultivating.
The density of spiritual energy here was more than twice that of the Qingmei Courtyard; half a year of cultivation here was equivalent to a year there.
Before long, a blue aura emerged on the surface of his body, enveloping him completely.
