"Golden Light Snake Blood,"
Lin Fei murmured.
The bottles contained fresh blood of the Golden Light Snake.
The Golden Light Snake was a very small, short snake native to Deer Mountain County.
It was highly venomous.
Though not instantly lethal, the poison was deadly if untreated—even a cow would quickly die.
The Golden Light Snake's blood had a special property:
if applied to the skin, it gradually toughened the skin,
and even diminished or erased small scars.
If not for the venom's severity,
all the Golden Light Snakes in Deer Mountain would probably have been caught by now.
Lin Fei suddenly thought of this property of the snake blood,
wondering if it might aid the cultivation of Vajra Iron Cloth Technique.
Hence, he had the steward purchase Golden Light Snake blood.
Despite the venom, people still dared to catch snakes due to the high price paid by the Lin Family.
"Let's try."
Lin Fei took a deep breath,
poured out the blood from a bottle,
and applied it all over his body.
Instantly, his entire body emitted a pungent metallic scent.
The snake blood on his skin quickly took effect,
giving a tingling and itching sensation.
Lin Fei knew this was because the Vajra Iron Cloth Technique was continuously running,
constantly forging his skin membrane,
while the snake blood was repairing it.
The tingling proved that the Golden Light Snake blood was indeed effective.
After using one bottle, about an hour later,
the system's voice echoed in Lin Fei's mind.
"Your Vajra Iron Cloth Technique worked especially hard today; cultivation progress increased by 2%."
Lin Fei opened his eyes,
his expression joyful and unrestrained.
"One bottle increased cultivation progress by 2%."
"And I purchased dozens of bottles this time."
"Moreover, the steward is still acquiring more snake blood."
Lin Fei's eyes sparkled with excitement.
The Golden Light Snake blood was immensely significant to him.
It meant he could confidently raise Vajra Iron Cloth Technique to the limit and give birth to Inner Power soon.
This was the Inner Power of hard skills—extraordinary indeed.
"Continue."
Lin Fei applied more snake blood.
It still worked.
So for the next period,
he applied Golden Light Snake blood almost daily in his room.
His Vajra Iron Cloth Technique progressed at an unprecedented speed.
After several days,
"Your Vajra Iron Cloth Technique has broken through to the ninth layer after much cultivation!"
The system's voice rang in Lin Fei's mind.
He touched his skin,
feeling it much tougher,
like a layer of "light armor" all over his body-
even stronger than light armor itself.
At this level, Vajra Iron Cloth Technique's power truly manifested.
Lin Fei took a dagger,
lightly sliced his arm's skin.
"Hiss!"
His skin was not pierced.
Trying harder,
he applied about a third of his strength.
Only then was a small cut made,
and it quickly stopped bleeding.
"Impervious to blades and spears!"
Lin Fei's eyes gleamed strangely.
At peak hard skill levels,
such miraculous effects manifest.
The Vajra Iron Cloth Technique now made him nearly invulnerable.
Even standing still,
being struck by ordinary blades and spears would hardly affect him.
This was the terror of hard skills.
"Though Vajra Iron Cloth Technique reached the ninth layer, it still must continue—
ideally to birth Inner Power..."
Lin Fei kept applying Golden Light Snake blood.
He noticed the effect slightly weakened,
but only slightly.
The Vajra Iron Cloth Technique cultivation speed remained fast.
Only when he ran out of snake blood and hadn't gathered more would he pause.
Otherwise, he applied it every day.
Twenty days passed quickly.
"System."
Lin Fei summoned the system panel.
Host: Lin Fei
Martial Arts Realm: Body Refinement Ninth Layer
Giant Whale Refinement Body Skill: Ninth Layer (99% progress)
Dragon Elephant Vajra Fist: Perfect Mastery (0% progress)
Nine Shadow Saber Technique: Perfect Mastery (18% progress)
Vajra Iron Cloth Technique: Ninth Layer (95% progress)
Muscle Tendon Transformation Skill: Seventh Layer (68% progress)
Adhering To Clothes Technique: Great Accomplishment (0% progress)
Lin Fei saw that his Giant Whale Refinement Body Skill cultivation progress had reached 99%.
Vajra Iron Cloth Technique was close behind.
Both were just one step away from birthing Inner Power.
"My Giant Whale Refinement Body Skill is almost ready to birth Inner Power."
"I wonder what kind of Inner Power it will be..."
Lin Fei murmured softly.
Many Body Refinement warriors' Inner Power differ greatly,
depending on the Martial Arts they cultivate.
Lin Fei took a deep breath and steadied himself.
"Let's begin."
He swallowed ten Blood Enhancing Pills in one go.
Ten pills just raise his Giant Whale Refinement Body Skill cultivation by 1%.
He was only 1% away from birthing Inner Power.
