"Swish."
Lin Fei noticed that when he slashed,
there were not nine but ten shadow blades.
Yes, ten shadows.
Although it looked like a single slash,
it was actually ten strikes.
This was terrifying.
Though only one extra shadow,
it greatly enhanced the power beyond the original nine shadows.
"What level is this ten-shadow slash?"
Lin Fei was curious.
Even the founder of Nine Shadow Saber Technique only mastered nine shadows.
Who knew Lin Fei could create ten?
Also, Lin Fei remembered he still had four Task Guidance tasks left for other sabers.
Those were likely practiced to Perfect Mastery,
so they would be claimed soon.
Sure enough, over the next dozen days,
many people accepted tasks and Task Guided Lin Fei's sabers for one hour each.
Lin Fei's Nine Shadow Saber Technique progress surged to 18%.
As Nine Shadow Saber Technique rapidly advanced,
Lin Fei's Giant Whale Refinement Body Skill also progressed swiftly.
He consumed Blood Enhancing Pills daily,
sometimes three or four per day.
Therefore, Lin Fei's Giant Whale Refinement Body Skill neared breakthrough.
"Boom."
One morning, Lin Fei felt a roaring surge inside.
His Qi and blood radiated outward,
casting a terrifying aura around him,
making him seem bathed in blood.
"Your Giant Whale Refinement Body Skill has broken through to Level 9 after prolonged cultivation."
"Your Vajra Iron Cloth Technique has broken through to Level 8."
A sequence of notifications rang in Lin Fei's mind.
"A simultaneous breakthrough?"
Lin Fei was pleasantly surprised to receive two pieces of good news at once.
"System."
He opened the system panel.
Host: Lin Fei
Martial Arts Level: Body Refinement Level 9
Giant Whale Refinement Body Skill: Level 9 (Progress 1%)
Dragon Elephant Vajra Fist: Great Accomplishment (Progress 1%)
Nine Shadow Saber Technique: Perfect Mastery (Progress 18%)
Vajra Iron Cloth Technique: Level 8 (Progress 1%)
Muscle Tendon Transformation Skill: Level 7 (Progress 44%)
Adhering To Clothes Technique: Great Accomplishment (Progress 0%)
Lin Fei saw that he had reached Body Refinement Level 9.
This meant he was close to becoming an Acquired Warrior,
and only one step away from birthing Inner Power.
Of course, this step was very difficult.
Many Body Refinement Level 9 warriors existed,
but only about half ever produced Inner Power to become Acquired.
Lin Fei's system panel was clear.
Only when his Giant Whale Refinement Body Skill at Level 9 reaches 100% progress,
would he generate Inner Power.
But cultivation speed from Level 8 to 9 was already slow,
and progressing to the limit and birthing Inner Power would be even slower.
Lin Fei's Nine Shadow Saber Technique progress was 18%.
In saber skills, he had surpassed many in Nine Profound Sect,
including some Acquired warriors and senior disciples.
He estimated his saber skill was among the top three in the sect.
"My current strength is Body Refinement Level 9,
and my saber skill surpasses many at Perfect Mastery level."
"Maybe next time I meet Zhui Fengxiang,
I won't need so long-
I can kill him in one stroke!"
A gleam flashed in Lin Fei's eyes.
He had absolute confidence now.
Though he hadn't birthed Inner Power and was not yet Acquired,
his strength rivaled many Acquired warriors.
"The saber skill can still improve."
"I only need to cultivate other sabers and publish Task Guidance again."
"But I'm out of Contribution Points."
"Also, Giant Whale Refinement Body Skill could still benefit from Blood Enhancing Pills.
The effect hasn't vanished, only weakened."
"To reach the Body Refinement limit, I wonder how many pills I'd need.
Just exchanging Contribution Points won't suffice."
"If only I could refine Blood Enhancing Pills myself..."
Lin Fei had an idea.
Pill refining had been on his mind for some time.
He also learned that ordinary people, even Acquired warriors, couldn't refine pills.
Because Acquired warriors' Inner Power can't leave the body.
Only Innate warriors, with Innate true Qi that flows endlessly,
can refine pills.
Most pills at Nine Profound Sect were crafted by Innate warriors.
But Innate warriors' time was precious.
They only occasionally made pills, making prices exorbitant.
There was another group that could refine pills: Immortal Masters.
Lin Fei found information on Immortal Masters-
also called Qi Cultivators.
They required special rare qualifications.
Nine Profound Sect had none.
Lin Miao, however, was actually an Immortal Master,
though a mediocre one, not yet reaching Qi Cultivation Level 1,
so unable to refine pills.
"Wait, you have to reach Qi Cultivation Level 1 to refine pills?"
Lin Fei pondered.
If one had mana, maybe pill refining was possible.
"Perhaps I can have Lin Miao try."
"But I need to figure out a way to get the Blood Enhancing Pill recipe..."
Lin Fei fell into thought.
