"System."
Lin Fei activated the system panel and checked the progress of each martial art.
Host: Lin Fei
Martial Arts Realm: Body Refinement Level Four
Giant Whale Refinement Body Skill: Level Four (Progress 6%)
Dragon Elephant Vajra Fist: Entry (Progress 11%)
Nine Shadow Saber Technique: Entry (Progress 1%)
Vajra Iron Cloth Technique: Level One (Progress 3%)
Muscle Tendon Transformation Skill: Level One (Progress 5%)
Lin Fei looked at the martial arts on the system panel.
He was only at Body Refinement Level Four,
yet had a total of five martial arts.
Among them, three were Body Refinement martial arts, and two were combat martial arts.
Lin Fei discovered a problem.
His martial arts could indeed cultivate themselves,
but the key was that these martial arts had their own personalities.
If their requirements were not met,
they would "drop the task" and stop cultivating—
they would slack off.
The Giant Whale Refinement Body Skill was currently the most obedient,
steadily cultivating almost every day.
Like a model student, steady and calm.
Dragon Elephant Vajra Fist was performing well for now,
but its future progress needed observation.
The Nine Shadow Saber Technique, Vajra Iron Cloth Technique, and Muscle Tendon Transformation Skill were a bit stubborn.
Nine Shadow Saber Technique was easy to solve.
Buy a saber and the problem should be fixed.
Vajra Iron Cloth Technique required herbal baths?
Lin Fei thought carefully, and it really did.
After all, Iron Cloth was a hard external skill.
Without herbal baths to repair the body,
training would damage the body instead.
This was easy to handle—money could buy herbal baths.
Muscle Tendon Transformation Skill was very interesting.
It required listening to Buddhist and Daoist scriptures?
That sounded strange.
But to make Muscle Tendon Transformation Skill cultivate well,
Lin Fei had no choice but to try.
"First, go buy a saber."
Lin Fei got up and left the house.
Outside, he saw two familiar figures.
"Zhang Yuan, Liu Hu, you two?"
Lin Fei remembered them.
Both were outer disciples of the Nine Profound Sect,
and they had a good relationship with him.
"Lin Fei."
Zhang Yuan said with a bitter smile, "Liu Hu and I came to say goodbye today."
"Goodbye?"
"Yes. We have been stuck at Body Refinement Level Three for three years since entering the Nine Profound Sect.
Now the three-year period is up, and we have been expelled. So we came to say goodbye."
Lin Fei was silent.
He did not know what to say.
"Brother Lin, I heard yesterday you broke through to Body Refinement Level Four. Congratulations on being able to stay in the Nine Profound Sect."
"Just luck, only luck. Zhang Yuan, Liu Hu, what are your plans after leaving the sect?"
Lin Fei asked.
"I will return home to take over the family business. Liu Hu plans to come down the mountain to help me."
Zhang Yuan's family was indeed in business.
Liu Hu knew the background and was close to Zhang Yuan.
With Liu Hu's help, Zhang Yuan would have an assistant.
"Then I wish you both a safe journey. If you need anything, write to me."
Lin Fei considered and still made the promise.
In his memory,
Zhang Yuan and Liu Hu had helped him a lot.
They were his best friends in the entire Nine Profound Sect.
Now that his friends were leaving the sect,
if he could help them in the future, he would not hesitate.
"Thanks, Brother Lin."
Zhang Yuan was overjoyed.
They came to say goodbye just to wait for these words from Lin Fei.
After all, Lin Fei was in the Nine Profound Sect.
Maybe he would become Body Refinement Level Five, Six, or even above Seven.
Then he could be a strong backing.
Having this promise satisfied them greatly.
Looking at Zhang Yuan and Liu Hu's rather downcast and bleak figures,
Lin Fei felt a little emotional.
In this world, strength was respected.
Whether in business or elsewhere,
without strength, one could hardly move forward.
Zhang Yuan and Liu Hu leaving the sect
meant they would likely achieve nothing in martial arts.
Forget about breaking through to the Acquired Realm,
even reaching Body Refinement Level Seven was almost impossible.
Lin Fei felt a tightness in his heart.
He was relatively lucky.
At the critical moment, he broke through to Body Refinement Level Four,
so he could remain in the Nine Profound Sect.
But what was Body Refinement Level Four really?
He still needed to improve further.
Lin Fei went straight to the Weapon Hall.
Weapons in the Nine Profound Sect could be bought with Contribution Points.
But Lin Fei had no Contribution Points.
Of course, using silver was also possible,
but that was obviously much more expensive.
Lin Fei had no choice.
Among many weapons, he chose a high-quality refined steel saber.
Though not a treasure saber, it was quite good.
This saber cost Lin Fei twenty taels of silver.
Lin Fei also needed some Buddhist and Daoist scriptures.
For those, there was no choice but to buy them outside the sect.
He also needed herbal baths.
The herbal baths required for Vajra Iron Cloth Technique were extremely expensive.
Lin Fei spent almost all his remaining silver buying ten portions at once.
"Back home."
Lin Fei returned to his courtyard.
"Let me try Nine Shadow Saber Technique."
Lin Fei took a deep breath
and began to perform Nine Shadow Saber Technique.
Although his martial arts could cultivate by themselves,
Lin Fei could still feel them as if cultivating diligently himself.
His Nine Shadow Saber Technique was at entry level,
so he could barely perform it.
"Swish."
Lin Fei slashed once.
Only a white light flashed.
This was Nine Shadow Saber Technique,
which pursued ultimate speed.
When a slash produced two shadows, it meant the technique was skilled.
Three shadows meant mastery.
Six shadows meant Great Accomplishment.
Perfect Mastery required nine shadows per slash.
For now, Lin Fei could only produce one shadow—
just entry level.
"Your Nine Shadow Saber Technique is thrilled by obtaining the treasured saber. Your comprehension greatly increases, and cultivation progress instantly rises 100% to reach the skilled realm."
A sudden voice echoed in Lin Fei's mind.
"Already skilled?"
Lin Fei's eyes widened in disbelief.
But the next moment, various insights came to him.
It was as if his hands had developed muscle memory for Nine Shadow Saber Technique.
Then, he slashed again.
"Shu."
Two white lights flashed—
two shadows!
This was the sign of skilled Nine Shadow Saber Technique.
Ordinary combat martial arts had stages: entry, skilled, mastery, Great Accomplishment, Perfect Mastery, and transcendence.
Ordinary warriors could reach mastery,
Great Accomplishment was almost the limit.
Perfect Mastery was mostly reserved for special geniuses or the martial art's creator.
Transcendence was another level entirely.
Martial arts like Nine Shadow Saber Technique emphasized comprehension most.
Reaching skilled within a month was already very good.
But Lin Fei?
One day...
Unexpectedly, meeting the martial arts' requirements
made their self-cultivation extremely powerful.
Truly too stubborn!
"Right, Vajra Iron Cloth Technique. I should soak in the herbal bath and test the effect."
Seeing Nine Shadow Saber Technique's rapid progress,
Lin Fei naturally had high expectations for Vajra Iron Cloth Technique.
