The caravan continued on its journey.
However, this time there was an additional member.
The young Daoist now followed the caravan to Su City.
The young Daoist had already been linked to Lin Fei's control via the Heart Vein Technique,
which allowed Lin Fei to sense the young Daoist's essence and blood at all times.
The sensation was strange-
as if Lin Fei could feel the young Daoist at every moment.
If the young Daoist harbored any malice, Lin Fei could detect it.
Because of this, Lin Fei trusted him enough to let him travel together.
After arriving in Su City, the caravan rested for a full day.
Once the goods were processed, the caravan began returning to Zhou Shan City.
The return trip was peaceful.
Lin Fei had already cleared the trade routes,
so the Lin Family's caravan no longer faced trouble.
It took only a few days to return safely.
"Brother, Father, Mother, this escort trip cleared the trade route."
"From now on, the Lin Family's caravans can depart anytime to Su City."
"Along the way, only displaying our Lin Family's banner will prevent anyone from troubling the caravan."
Elder brother was delighted.
"Wonderful! Haha, the Lin Family is saved!"
Lin Wen was overjoyed.
Sending Lin Fei on the escort had been a last resort.
He hadn't hoped for much,
but unexpectedly, Lin Fei not only delivered the goods safely,
but also cleared the trade route-
an incredible feat.
"It seems sending Lin Fei to the Nine Profound Sect was the right choice!"
Lin's Father was relieved.
A disciple from a major sect was truly different.
Master Bai had trained all his life,
but relied on reputation to travel Jianghu safely.
Lin Fei was different.
Only three years in the sect,
and he had already subdued so many bandits.
Lin Fei had become the Lin Family's prodigy.
After lunch, Lin Fei arranged for the young Daoist to stay in a separate courtyard.
The young Daoist was nameless and had been a beggar,
picked up and raised by the old Daoist.
Lin Fei thought for a moment:
"You can't expose your identity. I'll give you a name so you won't stand out in the Lin Family."
"From now on, you'll be called Lin Miao."
"Thank you for the name, Young Master."
Lin Miao didn't care much about the name-
being alive was what mattered.
"You'll stay in this courtyard and not leave unless there's something important."
"As for the refined corpses, I've taken them away.
Don't attack anyone without my orders."
"Remember, your most important task is cultivation.
Try to reach Qi Cultivation Level One and be able to refine pills.
I'll send you some pill-refining books and materials later."
Lin Fei's role for Lin Miao was simple:
a tool for refining pills.
After arranging Lin Miao, Lin Fei returned to his room.
He hadn't soaked in an herbal bath for many days,
so preparations were made for him to soak again.
"System."
Lin Fei soaked in the herbal bath and opened the system panel.
Host: Lin Fei
Martial Arts Realm: Body Refinement Level Five
Giant Whale Refinement Body Skill: Level Five (Progress 16%)
Dragon Elephant Vajra Fist: Great Accomplishment (Progress 1%)
Nine Shadow Saber Technique: Great Accomplishment (Progress 1%)
Vajra Iron Cloth Technique: Level Four (Progress 45%)
Muscle Tendon Transformation Skill: Level Three (Progress 91%)
Lin Fei saw that only Giant Whale Refinement Body Skill and Muscle Tendon Transformation Skill had progressed.
Giant Whale Refinement Body Skill cultivated diligently, gaining 5% progress daily.
Muscle Tendon Transformation Skill was simpler-
Lin Fei carried Buddhist and Daoist scriptures,
and reciting a passage daily was enough to boost progress.
Without herbal baths, Vajra Iron Cloth Technique made no progress.
The troublesome Dragon Elephant Vajra Fist and Nine Shadow Saber Technique
had halted progress since reaching Great Accomplishment.
They appeared to have stopped cultivating,
with no advancement in progress.
It seemed advancing from Great Accomplishment to Perfect Mastery
was a difficult barrier, requiring opportunities and luck.
"Body Refinement martial arts are fundamental!
Combat martial arts can wait."
Lin Fei understood that Body Refinement was key—his foundation.
He needed to quickly reach Body Refinement Level Seven
to become an inner disciple of the Nine Profound Sect,
gaining more benefits and resources.
Yet, progress in Giant Whale Refinement Body Skill, Vajra Iron Cloth Technique,
and Muscle Tendon Transformation Skill was slow.
This was partly due to limited resources.
He knew the sect had pills that increased vitality and strengthened muscles and bones.
Taking one during Body Refinement was like divine aid.
However, such pills required vast Contribution Points
and only inner disciples could exchange them.
"Looks like I need to find pill recipes
and have Lin Miao try refining them."
Many ideas flashed in Lin Fei's mind,
but these had to wait until he returned to the Nine Profound Sect.
For now, he had to complete his current task before returning.
After all, he had been away a long time.
