Si Yuanpei’s help was right on time!

...

“Thank you, Master Si!” Lin Shen said sincerely.

Master Si glanced at him and smiled.

“When you first joined the academy, I made you a Black-rank disciple. Although it was to help you grow faster, it still brought you a lot of trouble. This jade tube is your compensation.”

Lin Shen was dazed for a moment before he broke into laughter.

So, that was why.

After laughing for a moment, Lin Shen suddenly remembered something and asked, “Master Si, may I ask how the Haoshan Foxes are doing…”

After a moment of silence, Si Yuanpei said slowly, “The Haoshan Foxes have played a part in discovering the Yan family’s plan in time. The sect owes them a big favor. After we destroy the Yan family, we release all the Haoshan Foxes they’ve caught in secret.”

Lin Shen was surprised.

He didn’t expect that the sect would let Haoshan Foxes go so easily.

After all, three of the five great demonic tribes were gone, and the most secretive ones were the Fox and Eagle tribes.

Why would the sect miss such a great opportunity to weaken the Fox Tribe?

Even if the Haoshan Foxes had contributed to the Yan family’s downfall, the most the sect would do was spare their lives. Wouldn’t it be better to use the soul contract to restrict their freedom and let the sect control them in the future?

As if sensing Lin Shen’s confusion, Si Yuanpei said indifferently, “When the sect rushed to the mountain peak where the spirit cave was, less than 10% of the Haoshan Foxes were still alive. Most of them had been used by the Yan family as blood sacrifices.”

Lin Shen was enlightened, and then he sighed.

It turned out that because the Haoshan Fox Clan had already suffered heavy casualties, the sect couldn’t stand it anymore and simply let them go.

After this incident, the Haoshan Fox Clan probably wouldn’t be able to recover for hundreds of years. They no longer posed a threat.

Just as he was sighing, he suddenly heard Si Yuanpei say, “You have a way to contact that fox demon called Qiu Li, right?”

There was nothing to hide. Lin Shen admitted frankly.

“Be careful of that fox demon,” Si Yuanpei said.

Lin Shen immediately looked puzzled. “Master Si, could you be more specific?”

Si Yuanpei glanced at him and said, “She’s a demon cultivator.”

After being stunned for a few seconds, Lin Shen suddenly realized what Si Yuanpei meant and immediately widened his eyes in shock.

Qiu Li was a demon of the cultivator master realm?

However, he didn’t sense any powerful aura from Qiu Li that day.

Moreover, if Qiu Li was a demon cultivator, how could she not be able to deal with Wu Luo’s incarnation?

Fortunately, Si Yuanpei quickly gave him an explanation.

“Qiu Li is the daughter of the current leader of the Haoshan Fox Clan. She was severely injured in the battle with Yan Zhongrong.”

That was why.

Lin Shen was a little stunned.

Unexpectedly, he had unknowingly come into contact with a demon cultivator and even had the experience of going through life and death together.

Fate was indeed a strange thing.

“It won’t be long before the sect opens the spirit cave to the disciples. At that time, the disciples of the academy will also be among the candidates. In view of your contributions this time, I will fight for a spot for you. 1 hope you can make good use of this opportunity,” Si Yuanpei suddenly said.

Lin Shen didn’t know if it was his imagination, but he felt that Si Yuanpei’s tone was more meaningful than it sounded.

However, before he could figure it out, Si Yuanpei waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.

Lin Shen could only stand up and leave.

Walking out of the wooden building, Xie Jingsheng was waiting outside. When he saw Lin Shen, he welcomed the latter with a smile.

“Congratulations, Junior Brother Lin. From now on, we’re both upper-house disciples!”

Lin Shen thanked him and asked about the treatment of the upper house disciples.

Xie Jingsheng naturally answered all his questions.

After listening to his explanation, Lin Shen gradually understood.

Compared to the disciples of the lower house, the treatment of the upper house disciples was much better.

Firstly, he could obtain five medium merits every month.

Secondly, he could have a courtyard equivalent to the level of Profound Cottage in the upper house.

In addition, when the disciples of the upper house encountered difficulties in their cultivation, they could spend merit points to consult the house head.

This wasn’t to be underestimated. The path of cultivation was filled with obstacles. If one had a great teacher to guide them, they would be able to avoid many detours which would be greatly beneficial to their cultivation.

This might not be useful to the disciples of the top families, but it was very beneficial to disciples from the declining old families or commoners.

Finally, the upper house disciples would be rewarded with pills, Dharma treasures, and other resources by the sect every once in a while.

Of course, the distribution depended on the competition between the disciples.

After hearing Xie Jingsheng’s words, Lin Shen nodded to himself.

Although he didn’t really need the house head for guidance on the difficulties of cultivation, the courtyard with fixed monthly merits was still very nice.

The two of them chatted as they walked. Soon, they arrived at the entrance of an ancient and elegant courtyard.

It was obvious that this was Lin Shen’s residence in the upper house.

After leading the way, Xie Jingsheng didn’t stay any longer and bid farewell to Lin Shen.

After watching him walk away, Lin Shen took out the token to activate the restriction and stepped into the courtyard.

He didn’t feel anything outside, but after stepping into the courtyard, Lin Shen instantly felt the dense spiritual essence in the air. The density was more than a level higher than the Teaching Room where Heaven-rank disciples lived.

“What a rich spiritual essence. Cultivating here is at least two times as efficient as outside!” Lin Shen was impressed.

The layout of the courtyard wasn’t luxurious, but it was unique and exquisite. It suited his taste.

After walking around and familiarizing himself with the environment of the courtyard, Lin Shen came to the training room and sat cross-legged. He took out the storage ring and jade tube he had obtained from Si Yuanpei..
