"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.
