The Transmission Hall was empty with only a few people present when Lin Fei arrived. They were undergoing martial arts certification.
Lin Fei waited for his turn and then stepped forward.
"Respectful greetings to all the elders," Lin Fei bowed.
"Why have you come to the Transmission Hall?" the elder asked.
"I came to certify my Body Refining at the seventh level," Lin Fei replied.
"Show me your badge," the elder demanded.
Lin Fei took out his badge, and the elder got his information immediately.
The elder was surprised after checking Lin Fei's information. "Lin Fei, eighteen years old. You were only at the fourth level of Body Refining before. Are you sure you're here to certify at the seventh level?"
"Yes, I am here to certify at the seventh level. Please, elder," Lin Fei replied and immediately activated the Giant Whale Body Refining Technique.
A massive surge of blood energy hit them.
Giant Whale Body Refining Technique was best known for its blood energy, so it was terrifying when fully activated.
The elder had extensive experience and could tell Lin Fei's current state with a glance.
"The seventh level of the Whale Technique, not bad. You have indeed reached the seventh level of Body Refining.
Moreover, you're only eighteen years old and have reached the seventh level of Body Refining, making you an inner disciple.
Those who reach the seventh level of Body Refining before twenty years of age and become inner disciples will be rewarded ten thousand contribution points by the sect."The elder smiled.
"Thank you, elder," Lin Fei was also very happy.
The task of teaching the Nine Shadow Saber Technique had cost him five thousand contribution points before. Now, he had gained ten thousand contribution points in one go. Overall, he had profited.
"This is your new badge."
Lin Fei received the new badge, which was red and represented the status of an inner disciple.
"Junior Brother Liu, take Lin Fei to the Inner Sect to handle the procedures."
"Yes, Senior Brother," Liu replied.
The elder waved his hand, and Liu led Lin Fei out of the Transmission Hall.
"I'll take you to the Inner Sect first. As for your belongings in the Outer Sect, you can handle them after you join the Inner Sect."
"Yes, Elder Liu," Lin Fei nodded.
He knew that the Inner and Outer Sects were two different areas.
Inner disciples could go to the outer door, but outer disciples cannot enter the inner door. Soon, Lin Fei followed Elder Liu to the inner door.
Upon seeing the inner door, Lin Fei noticed that there were fewer people and many separate courtyards.
"Lin Fei, inner disciples have their own courtyards. Over there is an empty one, you can choose whichever one you like," said Elder Liu.
Lin Fei scanned the courtyards and realized that they were all pretty similar. "This one will do," he said.
"Okay, I'll make a note of it," Elder Liu quickly jotted it down. "Now that you are officially an inner disciple, there are some things you need to know.
Inner disciples can earn a thousand contribution points every month. Most of the items that can be exchanged within the sect using contribution points can be purchased at a fifty percent discount by inner disciples.
Inner disciples can also obtain three acquired-level martial arts skills for free from the Martial Arts Pavilion.
However, these are all benefits that inner disciples enjoy. Naturally, there are corresponding obligations."
Inner disciples must obey the sect's orders and go to various places to support or defend the sect.
The support missions you see are pretty much the same thing."
Lin Fei felt a shiver down his spine. Inner disciples enjoyed many benefits that were incomparable to outer disciples.
Inner disciples were the true disciples of the Nine Profound Sect, as most of them were acquired-level martial artists, who were considered real experts.
The Nine Profound Sect had seized so much territory that they needed disciples to defend it, and they might even come into conflict with other forces. This required experts and acquired-level martial artists were just for that.
The Nine Profound Sect relied on its numerous inner disciples to maintain its current power and even expand it further.
This was also why Nine Profound Sect was not stingy at all towards its inner disciples, the real reason why.
The outer disciples might not have much experience in fighting and killing, but what about the inner disciples?
Each of them had been through countless battles. They were no longer fragile flowers raised in a greenhouse.
"By the way, inner disciples can choose to have a master or not," Elder Liu reminded.
"Usually, it is the innate level experts who take disciples as their students.
Whether or not an innate level expert will accept you as a student depends on your fate."
"Thank you for reminding me, Elder Liu," Lin Fei said respectfully and bowed.
"Haha, I have high hopes for you. If you become an innate expert someday, who knows, I might even come to you for guidance," Elder Liu said, then left.
Lin Fei walked into his yard.
Although it was empty, it was clean, indicating that someone had been taking care of it.
"Not bad, but the outer yard needs to be sold," Lin Fei thought and left the inner gate, returning to his outer yard.
He had bought this outer yard with a considerable amount of money, and now that he was leaving, he naturally wanted to recoup his investment.
So, Lin Fei spread the word that he was selling this yard.
The news had only been out for a day when someone came to his door.
And it was a woman.
"Who are you?" Lin Fei looked at the woman in front of him.
She had a somewhat charming appearance. Her gaze was always sizing up Lin Fei.
"My name is Chen Lian. I heard that Senior Brother Lin was going to sell this courtyard, so I came to take a look."
"Buying the courtyard? One thousand taels of silver, no bargaining, can be paid with contribution points." Lin Fei stated the price.
He had bought the courtyard for one thousand taels of silver in the first place. As long as he didn't lose money selling it, it was fine.
Moreover, there were many outer disciples. There were also many wealthy disciples. Buying a comfortable courtyard for one thousand two hundred silver was nothing.
"Deal!"
Chen Lian was very straightforward and directly gave Lin Fei a silver ticket worth one thousand taels of silver.
"I won't take away some of the commonly used things in the house, leave them all to you."
Lin Fei stood up and prepared to leave.
"Senior Brother Lin, wait."
"Is there something else?"
Lin Fei looked at Chen Lian with a puzzled gaze.
Chen Lian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I heard that Senior Brother Lin has just entered the inner door?"
"Your information is quite well-informed." Lin Fei nodded.
It was not a secret, but the fact that the information was so well-informed meant that Chen Lian must have some connections in the inner door.
Senior Brother Lin, I do have one more thing to ask you about. I represent the Chen family and invite Senior Brother Lin to accept our family's patronage.
Once you become a patron, our Chen family will provide you with one thousand taels of silver every month. If Senior Brother Lin becomes an acquired martial artist in the future, we will provide you with five thousand taels of silver every month."
"Patronage?" Lin Fei heard of this for the first time.
Chen Lian smiled and said, "It's normal that Senior Lin hasn't heard of it. In fact, almost every inner disciple becomes a patron of some family or force.
After all, martial artists need various resources. Without money or contribution points, how much can be achieved with just completing tasks and the monthly allowance given by the Nine Profound Sect? So, some wealthy merchants or forces need to provide support.
We provide money, and in return, inner disciples become patrons. We can also take advantage of the name of inner disciples to act. It's a mutually beneficial arrangement."
Lin Fei pondered for a moment and asked meaningfully, "It's not that simple, is it? You can't just take money for nothing. Besides the name of the inner disciple, if something happens, I have to step in, right?"
Chen Lian nodded and said, "Naturally. Since we could have sponsored Senior Brother Lin, if the Chen family encounters any trouble, we will naturally ask you for help.
But if the enemy is too formidable, Senior Brother Lin can also refuse to help. It's not mandatory, and we cannot force you.
Even every time Senior Brother Lin helps, we will offer compensation to ensure that Senior Lin is satisfied.
Our Chen family is a family of good deeds, and we usually don't encounter significant trouble. For general troubles, we can handle it ourselves.
Senior Brother Lin can consider it carefully and compare the prices offered by other forces. Our sincerity is undoubtedly the most abundant!"
Chen Lian seemed very confident.
Lin Fei returned to the inner door.
Regarding Chen Lian's proposal of "clan patronage," Lin Fei also considered it carefully.
The conditions were indeed quite good. However, he wanted to wait a little longer to see if other forces were offering higher prices.
Days passed one by one. In a blink of an eye, six days had passed.
Lin Fei had almost understood the inner door.
"System."
Lin Fei checked the system panel.
Host: Lin Fei
Martial Arts Realm: Body Refining Seventh level
Giant Whale Body Refining Technique: Seventh level (7%progress)
Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist: Transcendence (1% progress)
Nine Shadow Saber Technique: Perfection (8% progress)
Vajra Iron Cloth: Sixth level (61% progress)
Tendon Transformation and Bone Forging Technique: Sixth level (11% progress)
During this period, the Tendon Transformation And Bone Forging Technique had the most significant improvement, reaching the sixth level, making Lin Fei's bones and muscles stronger and increasing his strength.
However, what made Lin Fei uneasy was the Giant Whale Body Refining Technique.
In six days, his progress in cultivation had only increased by 6%, reaching a total of 7% when combined with its previous progress.
In other words, he was making average daily progress of only 1%.
At this rate, it would take him at least one hundred days to break through to the eighth level. That was almost three and a half months.
Actually, this cultivation speed was already considered fast. But compared to Lin Fei's previous cultivation speed, it was simply too slow.
After all, Lin Fei's goal was not just to reach the acquired or innate levels, but to go beyond innate! He had lofty ambitions.
If the Body Refining stage was progressing so slowly, what about the acquired or even innate levels? Wouldn't they be even slower?
"It seems that I have to find a way to speed up my cultivation of the Giant Whale Body Refining Technique.
The main focus of the Giant Whale Body Refining Technique is to cultivate qi and blood.
So, as long as I can quickly increase my blood and qi, then my cultivation will definitely improve.
Within the Nine Profound Sect, there is a type of blood-increasing pill that can enhance one's blood, but it's very expensive. One pill requires one thousand contribution points."
Lin Fei stood up.
He decided to exchange for one blood-increasing pill to test its effectiveness.
So, Lin Fei got up and went to the Treasure Pavilion of the Nine Profound Sect.
