I Have Countless Clones

Talent Renewal

Lin Shen happily picked up the three cultivation technique manuals and flipped through them carefully. The more he read, the brighter his eyes became.

Among the three secret manuals, one was the cultivation technique he urgently needed to restrain his essence. It was the “Mortal Restrain”.

“The timing is perfect!”

Lin Shen looked at Tian Dian’s corpse and sighed.

Initially, he felt unlucky to have been targeted by a villain for no reason.

But now, it seemed that fortune and misfortune had come to him simultaneously.

The battle tonight was dangerous, but the reward, in the end, was also generous.

Just these three cultivation technique manuals were worth the danger tonight, not to mention the pile of spirit coins and medicinal pills.

Aside from Mortal Restrain, Shadow was a movement technique, and Meltdown was a Yang-type martial skill.

“A Yang-type cultivation technique… I can give it to Clone 3!”

Lin Shen excitedly flipped open the secret manual, but when he saw the content, he couldn’t help but be greatly disappointed.

Meltdown could only be cultivated when combined with Qi and inner essence.

In other words, this was a martial technique that could only be cultivated by cultivators of the Long Breath Stage and above.

“No wonder I didn’t see him use this martial technique earlier… Wait. He didn’t seem to have used a movement technique, either. Is it possible that he has just obtained the books and hasn’t had the time to cultivate the techniques yet?”

Lin Shen was puzzled.

However, he didn’t know that ever since Tian Dian obtained the secret manuals, he had been chased everywhere by the Martial Execution Hall for the past few months. He couldn’t even sleep well, let alone find the time to cultivate.

In the end, the secret manuals he had painstakingly obtained became Lin Shen’s possessions.

He couldn’t cultivate Meltdown for the time being, but Mortal Restrain and Shadows were fine.

Lin Shen decided to reach Beginner in these two cultivation techniques as soon as possible.

After putting everything back into the storage jade plate, Lin Shen opened the window and looked out. Seeing that his surroundings were quiet and there were no pedestrians on the street, he immediately carried Tian Dian’s corpse and jumped out of the window.

The apartment building was located in the corner of the East District. There were many remote parks and wastelands that had been in disrepair for years.

Lin Shen found a random wasteland and melted the corpse with Melting Liquid. Then, he covered it with a layer of sand to remove all the traces. After that, he quietly returned to the apartment.

It was late at night, and Lin Shen had just experienced a dangerous battle. Although he wasn’t injured, his mind was already extremely exhausted. Hence, he suppressed the thought of starting a cultivation technique right away and went to bed.

The night passed uneventfully.

The next day, Lin Shen called Xu Yuan and asked for the day off.

Some neighbors came to ask about the strange commotion the night before, and he casually made up an excuse before sending them away. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief and close the door.

“Looks like I have to move as soon as possible. It’s best to find a place with no neighbors around.”

In the future, as the number of his clones increased, the commotion during cultivation would definitely get louder. If he continued to live in this apartment building, sooner or later, someone would discover something.

In fact, Lin Shen had long wanted to move.

However, he had always been short of money. He didn’t even have enough spirit coins to buy meat. How could he spare any money to pay for a higher rent?

Fortunately, he received a huge sum of money last night, and now, he could afford to move.

After returning to the living room, Lin Shen took out Mortal Restrain’s manual from his storage jade plate and flipped through it again.

After carefully reading the secret manual from beginning to end twice and making sure he hadn’t missed anything, Lin Shen sat cross-legged in the living room and focused on his mind. Together with the two clones in his mind, he began to comprehend the cultivation technique.

It wasn’t easy to cultivate martial arts techniques. It would usually take more than ten days to over a month to reach Beginner.

Those with slightly poor talent might need several months before barely reaching Beginner.

When the previous Lin Shen cultivated the Blazing Sun Palm, it took him more than three months to barely get there.

Lin Shen wanted to see if his clones could shorten the time needed to reach Beginner.

According to the description in the secret manual, Mortal Restrain was easier to learn than martial arts techniques.

After all, it was only a technique to restrain one’s aura. Although it was rare, it wasn’t very complicated.

Throughout the day, other than eating and taking a shower, Lin Shen had been immersed in comprehending Mortal Restrain and only stopped late at night.

After retrieving the two clones, although the words “Mortal Restrain” didn’t appear on the interface, a large amount of comprehension and understanding of the technique instantly appeared in Lin Shen’s mind.

“As expected, the clones are effective in comprehending the cultivation technique as well!”

Lin Shen nodded to himself.

This way, it shouldn’t take him long to reach Beginner in Mortal Restrain.

Standing up and stretching himself, Lin Shen summoned the interface and realized the cooldown time for Clone 2 only had a little over three minutes left.

He waited patiently for a while. When the countdown reached zero, he immediately summoned Clone 2.

The resurrected Clone 2 didn’t seem to have changed much. The wound on its chest had already recovered.

However, when Lin Shen took a closer look, he couldn’t help but exclaim softly.

[Clone 2]

[Talent: Blooming Health]

[Stage: Qi Transformation Level 5, 25%]

[Current Cultivation: None]

His talent had changed from Above Average to Blooming Health!

[Blooming Health: Physical Strength+30%, Physical Enhancement Technique Cultivation Speed+10%]

...

Lin Shen was stunned.

After the clone was revived, its talent would also be renewed!

After the initial shock, Lin Shen seemed pleasantly surprised.

This meant he could change the clones’ talents repeatedly.

The effect of talent on his clone was obvious. Just look at Clone 3. The talent of Pure Yang Body allowed it to cultivate a Yang-type cultivation technique at twice the speed of the other clones!

Although Perseverance wasn’t that impressive, without this talent, Lin Shen wouldn’t have been able to earn his first bucket of gold through his part-time job,

nor could he successfully kill Tian Dian in the battle the night before!

A good talent could greatly increase the cultivation efficiency of the clone or play a huge role in other aspects.

In the long run, it would be more beneficial to him!

“Blooming Health…”

Lin Shen pondered for a moment.

...

This talent was much worse than Pure Yang Body and Perseverance.

Increasing his physical strength by 30% was only useful in the Qi Transformation Stage. After all, in a battle between Qi Transformation Stage cultivators, physical strength played an important role.

However, after reaching the Long Breath Stage and obtaining Qi, the importance of one’s physical strength would be greatly reduced. The competition was on whose had more Qi and whose martial arts techniques were more proficient.

As for the buff that increased the cultivation speed of physical enhancement techniques by 10%, it was even weaker than Above Average, which increased the cultivation speed by 20%.

Without hesitation, Lin Shen decided to change this talent.

Since he could change his talent repeatedly, he naturally had to continue this process until he found a good one.

At the very least, it couldn’t be worse than Above Average.

The only problem was that it would take a long time for the clone to revive.

He had to wait a full day!

It greatly limited the number of times he could change his talent.

If he revived a clone too many times, it would undoubtedly slow down the speed of his improvement.

“I hope I’m lucky and won’t waste too much time.”

Lin Shen looked at the revived Clone 2, patted its shoulder, and took out a steel knife from his storage jade plate.

“I’m sorry, bro.”
