Bab 43: 43. Return To The Lin Family
"I'm back."
A few days later, Lin Fei finally returned to his family home in Zhou Mountain Mansion City.
"Father, mother."
Lin Fei saw his parents in the hall.
"By the way, where is big brother? Why haven't I seen him?"
"Your older brother is busy with business. Since you opened up the business for our family last time, our family's business has been very busy. Your older brother leaves early and comes home late every day."
Lin Fei nodded.
After chatting with his parents for a while, he left and went to the secluded rooms in the back yard, where Lin Miao lived.
Lin Fei didn't say much to his parents about Lin Miao. He just told them to keep their distance and not to come to this area. This was set as a restricted area, and no one was allowed to enter without permission.
So Lin Fei found it very quiet when he arrived. There wasn't a single servant from the Lin family around.
"Creak."
Lin Fei opened the door.
"Young master?"
Lin Miao was sitting cross-legged in the room, seemingly meditating.
When he saw Lin Fei, Lin Miao's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
"Not bad, are you cultivating?" asked Lin Fei.
"Yes, young master. Why have you come back?" replied Lin Miao.
Lin Fei knew that Lin Miao had been very obedient during this period and had hardly left the Lin family.
Rather than answering directly, Lin Fei continued to ask, "Have you reached the first level of the Zombie-refining Technique?"
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, young master. Although I have made some progress during this time, I still haven't been able to reach the first level," replied Lin Miao, shaking his head.
The first level of the Zombie-refining Technique corresponded to the first level of Qi Condensation. In fact, Qi cultivation was much more difficult than martial arts cultivation.
Each level of improvement was very difficult, so talent was very important. Qi cultivators paid more attention to talent, as it directly determined their achievements.
With Lin Miao's aptitude, if he progressed step by step, he would probably find it very difficult to break through to the fourth level of Qi Condensation. At most, he would only be able to reach the third level.
This showed how difficult Qi condensation was.
"However, you should have spiritual power now, right?" asked Lin Fei suddenly.
The acquired martial artists possess inner power, while the innate martial artists possess innate inner power. As for the Qi Cultivators, they possess spiritual power.
"I do have spiritual power, but not much," Lin Miao said honestly.
"So, you can control zombies now?" Lin Fei's heart skipped a beat.
"Not quite. I need at least get to the first level before I can try to control them," Lin Miao replied.
"How long do you think it will take you to reach the first level of the Zombie-refining Technique?" Lin Fei pondered for a moment and asked.
"Master, this place is not suitable for cultivation. Especially for the Zombie-refining Technique, it is better to cultivate in places with stronger Yin Qi to achieve better results. If I practice here, it will take about three years to reach the first level," Lin Miao said.
"Three years..." Lin Fei fell silent upon hearing this.
"Forget it, let's give it a try anyway," Lin Fei finally decided.
After all, Lin Miao was just a tool for alchemy. It didn't matter how strong he could become through cultivation. What Lin Fei needed was the pill.
"Starting from tomorrow, you will try to refine pills according to this prescription. This is the most basic pill that Body Refining martial needs," Lin Fei said. "I will buy all the materials and furnaces for you, and even some books on simple alchemy techniques. Your goal is only one. At all costs, refine the Blood-Increasing Pill for me!"
"Yes, young master. I will try tomorrow," Lin Miao nodded in agreement.
Lin Fei left and returned to his room.
"System," He called up the system panel.
Host: Lin Fei
Martial Art Realm: Body Refining Ninth Level
Giant Whale Body Refining Technique: Ninth Level (1% Progress)
Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist: Perfection (0% Progress)
Nine Shadow Saber Technique: Perfection (18% Progress)
Vajra Iron Cloth: Eighth Level (1% Progress)
Tendon Transformation And Bone Forging Technique: Seventh Level (48% Progress)
Flowing Clothes Skill: Transcendence (0% Progress)
Lin Fei glanced at the panel and realized that the only thing he could still improve was the Tendon Transformation And Bone Forging Technique.
However, the Tendon Transformation and Bone Forging Technique could now only increase the practice progress by 1% per day. Once it reached the eighth level, Lin Fei estimated that even 1% progress per day cannot be achieved.
As for the Vajra Iron Cloth, it still required more expensive medicinal baths. Despite having a hundred thousand taels of silver, Lin Fei must prioritize Lin Miao's alchemy and not squander it easily.
"Well, I'd better focus on cultivating the Giant Whale Body Refining Technique to produce the inner power first. Then go and practice the Vajra Iron Cloth and the Tendon Transformation and Bone Forging Technique," Lin Fei made up his mind.
The next day, Lin Fei had a large amount of medicinal materials purchased, all of which were the raw materials for the Blood-Increasing Pill. He would personally supervise Lin Miao and let him try alchemy.
The pill furnace, materials, and everything were all ready. Last night, Lin Miao also read some alchemy books and basically mastered some basic alchemical techniques. He was ready to give it a try.
"Young master, I'm ready," Lin Miao said.
"Okay, let's begin," Lin Fei replied, staring closely at the pill furnace beside Lin Miao.
