47. One Thousand Blood-Increasing Pills

The next day, Lin Fei was summoned to the hall.

"Fei, you need to be mentally prepared for your marriage."

Lin's father weighed the matter for a long time, hesitating as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

Lin Fei's heart moved. It seemed that there was something wrong with his marriage.

"Dad, tell me, what's the matter?"

"Lord Prefect has sent a message. After seeing your portrait, Wang Xuan was not very interested, so..."

Lin's father's voice also gradually lowered.

Lin's mother seemed to be complaining, "What's wrong with my son? He is handsome and also an inner disciple of the Nine Profound Sect. Even if she is the daughter of the prefect, my son is also worthy..."

Lin's mother continued to chatter, showing some dissatisfaction.

However, Lin Fei appeared very calm. He even breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Fei, you..." Lin's parents were still worried.

"Dad. Mom. Don't worry, I'm fine. Since Wang Xuan is not interested, we don't need to force it." After speaking, Lin Fei bid farewell and left.

Watching Lin Fei leave, Lin's mother was somewhat reluctant, "Master, Lord Prefect is really overdoing it this time. He was the one who first proposed a marriage alliance with our Lin family. How could he..."

"Okay, stop talking. In fact, this may not be a bad thing. Didn't you see that Fei was already dissatisfied with this marriage? Maybe Fei already has someone in mind."

Lin's father said meaningfully.

"Oh? Feier has someone in mind, most likely a disciple from the Nine Profound Sect. Perhaps it's one of his senior sisters?" Lin's mother's eyes lit up.

"We don't need to bother about who exactly it is. Fei has more independence than us..." Lin's father's expression was calm.

However, there was obviously a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes. The prefect's actions really showed that he didn't take the Lin family seriously.

But the other party was prefect. For such trivial matters, the Lin family had no choice.

Although Lin Fei had already left the hall. His senses were keen.

Lin Fei could still hear his parents' conversation even from a distance.

"They think I have someone in mind? Well, this is good too. I can have a peaceful time for a while." Lin Fei murmured in a low voice.

He knew he didn't have anyone in mind.

Thinking about it, Lin Fei's mind involuntarily conjured up a figure.

Ling Yao!

He would rather marry Ling Yao if he really had to.

Lin Fei shook his head. It wasn't time to think about these things yet.

He went directly to Lin Miao's side yard and watched Lin Miao refine the Blood-Increasing Pill.

Lin Miao set up the Yin Gathering Formation, which was indeed effective.

After a whole day, he had successfully refined it five times, and each time, he produced around ten pills.

In one day, he could refine a total of fifty Blood-Increasing Pills.

At this rate, Lin Miao would be able to refine one thousand Blood-Increasing Pills in twenty days.

Moreover, even with the consumption of alchemy furnaces, medicinal materials, and other expenses, it would not exceed forty thousand taels of silver.

Lin Fei was very satisfied. He brought back the fifty Blood-Increasing Pills he had refined on the first day to his room.

He swallowed ten Blood-Increasing Pills at once.

"Buzz."

Suddenly, the qi and blood in Lin Fei's body shook.

The Giant Whale Body Refining Technique was also automatically operated.

Ten Blood-Increasing Pills at once were too easy for Lin Fei now. His huge qi and blood could almost be refined instantly.

Moreover, even ten Blood-Increasing Pills could only improve the cultivation progress of the Giant Whale Body Refining Technique by 1% for him now.

Lin Fei could fully absorb all fifty Blood-Increasing Pills in one day.

"Twenty days, and I will be able to give birth to inner power!" Lin Fei murmured in a low voice, a gleam of determination flashing in his eyes.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time and the thought of it made his heart burn with excitement.

As time passed, Lin Fei took Blood-Increasing Pills every day and the progress of his Giant Whale Body Refining Technique improved visibly.

He was getting closer and closer to giving birth to his inner power.

Knowing that there was a constant supply of Blood-Increasing Pills, Lin Fei no longer paid attention to Lin Miao's pill refining work.

Instead, he focused on the medicinal bath for the Vajra Iron Cloth. After studying it for a few days, Lin Fei had a rough idea of its function.

The medicinal bath promoted the recovery of the skin membrane, which was constantly damaged during the practice of Vajra Iron Cloth.

With the improvement of Lin Fei's Vajra Iron Cloth realm, the efficacy of the ordinary medicinal bath became less effective in repairing the damaged skin membrane, resulting in slower progress in his cultivation of Vajra Iron Cloth.

Lin Fei came up with a solution in recent days.

"Young Master, the stuff you wanted has arrived," the butler's voice came from outside the door.

Lin Fei opened the door and saw the butler holding a package. He smiled and ordered, "Continue to buy more, the more the better."

"Yes, Young Master," the butler replied before leaving.

Lin Fei brought the package into his room and placed it on the table.

Inside the package was a box filled with white porcelain bottles.

Lin Fei opened one of the bottles and immediately a strong smell of blood emanated from it.

48. One Step Away

"Golden light snake blood." Lin Fei muttered in a low voice.

The porcelain bottles were filled with the fresh blood of golden light snakes.

Golden light snakes were a type of snake with a very small and short body. They were a specialty of Lu Mountian.

They were highly poisonous. Although it was not a deadly venom, if someone was poisoned by its venom, it would die quickly if not treated effectively.

Golden light snakes had a special characteristic. Once their blood was applied to the skin, it would gradually make the skin tough.

Even some small scars, when smeared with golden light snake blood, could gradually fade away or even disappear.

If it wasn't for the venom of the golden light snake that was incurable and powerful, Lin Fei was afraid that all the golden light snakes in Lu Mountian would have been caught.

Lin Fei suddenly thought of this characteristic of golden light snake blood, wondering if it would be helpful for practicing Vajra Iron Cloth.

So he asked the butler to purchase golden light snake blood for a high price. Despite the venomous nature of golden light snakes, some people still venture to catch them.

"Let's try."

Lin Fei took a deep breath and poured the golden light snake blood from the porcelain bottle and applied it all over his body.

Instantly, Lin Fei's whole body emitted an unpleasant smell of blood.

The snake blood applied to his body quickly had an effect. A tingling and unbearable feeling arose.

Lin Fei knew that Vajra Iron Cloth was actually constantly breaking and refining the skin. And the golden light snake blood was repairing the skin. So this tingling and unbearable feeling occurred.

However, this proved that golden light snake blood was effective.

After using up a bottle of golden light snake blood, Lin Fei heard the system's voice in his mind about an hour later.

"Your Vajra Iron Cloth worked particularly hard today, and its cultivation progress has increased by 2%."

"Whoosh."

Lin Fei opened his eyes, unable to hide his joy.

"Just one bottle increased my cultivation progress by 2%. And this time, I bought dozens of bottles. Plus, the butler is still helping me purchase snake blood, so I'll have even more blood in the future."

Lin Fei's eyes gleamed with excitement. This Golden Light Snake Blood was of great significance to him.

It meant that Lin Fei was confident that he could reach the limit of Vajra Iron Cloth in a short period of time, thus giving birth to inner power. And this inner power was extraordinary, it was the hard martial arts that was not to be underestimated.

"Continue."

Lin Fei applied the blood again. Amazingly, it was still effective.

For the next few days, Lin Fei spent almost every day in his room applying golden light snake blood to his Vajra Iron Cloth. And his Vajra Iron Cloth was improving at a speed never seen before.

After a few days, the system's voice rang in Lin Fei's mind.

"Your Vajra Iron Cloth has broken through to the ninth level after days of hard work!"

Lin Fei touched his skin and found that the membrane had become significantly tougher. His whole body was like a layer of "light armor," even more terrifying than ordinary light armor.

Now, the Vajra Iron Cloth could finally show its power.

Lin Fei took out a dagger and lightly drew it across his arm's skin.

"Shhh."

To his surprise, his skin wasn't cut.

Lin Fei applied more force and had to use at least 30% of his strength to barely cut a small wound, which quickly stopped bleeding.

"Untouchable by sword or spear!"

Lin Fei's eyes flashed with a hint of strangeness. When hard martial arts reached their peak, they would exhibit some mystical characteristics. And the mystical characteristic that his Vajra Iron Cloth exhibited was untouchable by sword or spear. Even if he stood in place and let an ordinary person use a saber to hack at him, they probably wouldn't be able to harm him in the slightest.

This was the terrifying aspect of hard martial arts.

"Vajra Iron Cloth has also reached the ninth level, but it still needs to continue. It would be best to cultivate until inner power is born…"

Lin Fei continued to use the golden light snake blood.

He felt it out. The effect seemed to have weakened a bit. But it was only a little weaker.

The progress of Vajra Iron Cloth cultivation was still very fast.

It was only when he ran out of golden light snake blood and had not collected more that Lin Fei could take a temporary break. Otherwise, he would be applying snake blood every day.

In the blink of an eye, twenty days had passed.

"System."

Lin Fei brought up the system to check the progress of his many martial arts.

Host: Lin Fei

Martial Arts Realm: Body Refining Ninth Level

Giant Whale Body Refining Technique: Ninth Level (99% Progress)

Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist: Perfection (0% Progress)

Nine Shadow Saber Technique: Perfection (18% Progress)

Vajra Iron Cloth: Ninth Level (95% Progress)

Tendon Transformation And Bone Forging Technique: Seventh Level (68% Progress)

Flowing Clothes Skill: Transcendence (0% Progress)

Lin Fei saw the progress of the Giant Whale Body Refining Technique. It had reached 99%. And Vajra Iron Cloth was not far behind.

Both were just one step away from giving birth to inner power.

"The Giant Whale Technique is about to give birth to inner power. What kind of inner power it will give birth to?" Lin Fei murmured softly.

Many Body Refining martial artists had different types of inner power. After all, the martial arts they practiced were different.

Lin Fei took a deep breath. He adjusted his state of mind.

"Let's begin."

He directly swallowed ten Blood-Increasing Pills in one gulp.

Ten Blood-Increasing Pills were just enough to increase the cultivation progress of the Giant Whale Body Refining Technique by 1%.

Lin Fei's Giant Whale Technique was only 1% away from giving birth to inner power.
