However, there was one troublesome issue—
the speed.
Lin Miao's refining speed was too slow.
He could only make pills once a day,
three pills each time.
How long would it take to refine one thousand pills?
At least a year.
A year was too long.
"Lin Miao, can you really only refine once a day?"
Lin Fei frowned and asked.
"Well..."
Lin Miao thought for a moment and said in a low voice,
"If I'm in a place heavy with Yin energy, my spiritual power recovers much faster."
"Then, I could refine more than once a day—twice, three times, or even more."
Lin Fei nodded.
If Lin Miao could refine more frequently,
and with more experience improving his Pill Refining skills,
the number of pills per batch would increase.
Then, making one thousand Blood Enhancing Pills wouldn't take so long.
"What kind of place is heavy with Yin energy?"
Lin Fei asked again.
"Young Master, actually, there's no need to seek such a place."
"In the Corpse Refining Art, I saw a formation technique called Gathering Yin Formation."
"It's quite simple, I should be able to set it up."
"However, the materials to set up the formation are a bit special."
"It requires corpses to establish Gathering Yin Formation."
"Corpses? Don't you already have refined corpses?"
"Yes, there are only five refined corpses, but to form the Gathering Yin Formation, at least nine corpses are needed."
Lin Fei pondered.
There was a shortage of four corpses.
"I'll get you the four missing corpses."
"In the meantime, study your Pill Refining technique carefully to increase the number of pills each time."
"Yes, Young Master."
Lin Fei left the backyard directly,
thinking about where to get four corpses.
If only they were in Luo City—
he had killed more than four bandits, after all.
But even if no bandits were available,
getting four corpses was not difficult for Lin Fei.
These times were unstable,
and the city outskirts' burial ground was piled high with corpses.
He asked the steward of the Lin Residence,
"Steward, find four men to drag four corpses from the city's burial ground."
"Just throw them in the backyard's secluded rooms. Someone will handle them."
"Here are fifty taels of silver. Use it to pay the servants."
"Thank you, Young Master. Don't worry, I'll arrange it now."
The steward took the money.
Fifty taels was enough to have the servants compete for the task.
After all, it was just moving corpses and not dangerous.
In the afternoon, a familiar voice rang outside Lin Fei's door.
"Second Young Master, you're finally back."
Elder brother Lin Wen had finished his business and returned to the Lin Family.
"Brother, any trouble with the business?"
Lin Fei asked.
"Hahaha, everyone knows now that the Lin Family has a Nine Profound Sect inner disciple. Who dares cause trouble?"
"Second Young Master, come with me to the main hall. Father and mother have been worried about you."
"This is good news."
"Good news? What good news?"
"You'll see when we get there."
Lin Wen was quite mysterious,
so Lin Fei followed him to the main hall.
In the hall, his parents were all smiles,
and there was a woman around fifty years old.
"This must be the matchmaker, right?"
The old woman appraised Lin Fei closely.
She waved her hand,
and a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar pulled out paper and brush,
starting to paint a portrait.
"Father, mother, what is this for?"
Lin Fei frowned slightly.
"This is Wang Po."
"We arranged a marriage proposal for you, one we guarantee you'll be happy with."
"So, we need your portrait to show the other party."
"They have a portrait too; you can look at it."
"Marriage proposal?"
Lin Fei had forgotten about this.
At his age,
in this world, one should settle down and start a family,
especially from a wealthy family like the Lin Family.
"Father, mother, I just want to focus on cultivation now."
Lin Fei was not in the mood for marriage.
"Cultivation doesn't stop you from marrying."
"Many inner disciples at Nine Profound Sect, even talented ones, are married."
Lin Fei opened his mouth but found no words to argue.
Indeed, most inner disciples were married,
though some cultivated alone within the sect.
Only a few disciples fully devoted themselves solely to cultivation,
or were naturally single.
"Second Young Master, I know martial artists have strong opinions."
"So your parents and I discussed and found a good match for you; you'll be satisfied."
"In fact, this proposal was not initiated by us, but by the other side."
"They are the daughter of the Prefect."
"The Prefect has one son and three daughters; the youngest, Wang Xuan, is unmarried."
"Miss Wang Xuan, like you, cultivates martial arts. She entered the Qi Xia Mountain sect and just became an inner disciple last year."
"You and Miss Wang Xuan both cultivate, so this marriage will be suitable."
"Look at Miss Wang Xuan's portrait; her looks and status are good."
"Moreover, this match is actually a step up for the Lin Family. The Prefect values your potential and promising future, hence the alliance."
Lin Fei glanced at the portrait.
The young lady was indeed beautiful,
with spirited features that anyone would approve of.
