The Treasure Pavilion was a crucial place in the Nine Profound Sect.
It was said that the guards at the entrance were all strong practitioners above the seventh level of the acquired realm. And within the Treasure Pavilion, there were innate-realm experts guarding it at all times.
The reason why it was so highly valued was that almost all of Nine Profound Sect's cultivation resources were stored there. This included precious medicinal herbs, weapons, pills, and more, almost everything you could ask for. Of course, the prerequisite was that you must have contribution points.
"Elder, I want to exchange for a blood-increase pill."
Lin Fei spent a thousand contribution points to exchange for a blood-increase pill.
Soon, Lin Fei returned to his room. He sat cross-legged and took out the blood-increase pill. The pill was blood-red in color and emitted a strange fragrance.
"Gulu."
Lin Fei swallowed the blood-increase pill in one gulp. Suddenly, his body began to feel hot, and the blood and qi in his body accelerated their flow. Even his Giant Whale Body Refining Technique automatically started to operate.
As time passed, about an hour later, Lin Fei heard a voice from the system in his mind.
"Your Giant Whale Body Refining Technique has absorbed the power of the blood-increase pill, and your blood and qi have gained significant growth. Your cultivation progress has increased by 5%."
"Whoosh."
Lin Fei opened his eyes, a hint of brilliance in them.
"One blood-increase pill can increase my Giant Whale Body Refining Technique's cultivation progress by 5%.
Then, with twenty blood-increase pills, I can break through to the eighth layer of the Giant Whale Body Refining Technique.
Twenty blood-increase pills require a cost of twenty thousand contribution points."
Lin Fei carefully calculated it. It was worth it!
Lin Fei's current contribution points were still around 40,000.
After all, he needed to buy the medicinal materials for Vajra Iron Cloth every day. Otherwise, his hard body technique cannot be improved.
And this was only the seventh level.
If he reached the eighth level, the blood-increasing pill might not be as effective. At that time, the consumption will be even greater.
All of these required contribution points, which were money. Lin Fei needed a lot of money.
"It seems like I should go find Chen Lian."
Lin Fei decided in his heart.
During this period, some families and forces did approach him proactively after Lin Fei entered the inner door.
Their only purpose was to offer patronage! However, the conditions provided by these forces did not surpass those offered by Chen Lian.
Even most of them were worse than Chen Lian's conditions.
Lin Fei personally went to find Chen Lian.
Chen Lian lived in the courtyard where Lin Fei used to stay in the outer door.
"Senior Brother Lin, have you made a decision?"
Chen Lian didn't seem surprised to see Lin Fei come to find her. However, she was still very enthusiastic.
"Chen Lian, 15,000 taels of silver per year, and it must be paid in advance and in full. If the Chen family agrees, I can be their patron."
Lin Fei went straight to the point and directly stated his conditions.
"Fifteen thousand taels of silver, and it must be paid in advance and in full. This..."
Chen Lian was a little hesitant.
"Within two years, I will reach the acquired realm!" Lin Fei said coldly.
"Is that true?"
"Of course. If I don't reach acquired within two years, I will return everything I received from the Chen family." Lin Fei's tone was full of confidence.
Chen Lian pondered for a while.
Reaching acquire-realm within two years... At that time, Lin Fei would only twenty years old.
For a twenty-year-old acquire realm martial artist, that was already considered an outstanding talent.
After a long while, Chen Lian looked up and said, "Senior Brother Lin, I personally lean towards agreeing with you. However, I cannot make the decision myself. I have to report back to the Chen family."
"I can't wait for too long." Lin Fei frowned.
"Within ten days, we will definitely give Senior Brother Lin a reply."
"Okay, let's set it for ten days." After speaking, Lin Fei turned and left the outer sect area.
In Lin Fei's opinion, the Chen family would most likely agree. It was only extra 3,000 silver taels a year. But in exchange, they would have a potential acquire realm martial artist as their patron.
This transaction was definitely not a loss!
After leaving the outer sect area, Lin Fei went straight to the Treasure Pavilion.
"Elder, I want to exchange for twenty Blood-Increasing Pills," Lin Fei said directly.
"Twenty Blood-Increasing Pills?" The Elder of the Treasure Pavilion furrowed his brows and said, "Blood-Increasing Pills can indeed enhance one's blood and qi, but absorbing them requires a long time and a huge amount of energy.
Moreover, if you take too many Blood-Increasing Pills, it will cause your blood and qi to become unstable and affect the foundation for developing inner power in the future. Are you sure you want to exchange for twenty Blood-Increasing Pills?"
"Yes, please. Elder," Lin Fei said without hesitation.
Lin Fei had known about these drawbacks that the elder had mentioned a long time ago. But none of these was a problem for him.
His Giant Whale Body Refining Technique was very diligent. It practiced almost day and night, like a model worker.
With such diligent cultivation, how could it cause his blood and qi to become unstable and affect his foundation?
Instead, his foundation would be incredibly solid.
"These are twenty Blood-Increasing Pills, and you can only take one pill per day."
"Thank you, Elder."
Lin Fei's contribution points were reduced by 20,000, but he obtained twenty Blood-Increasing Pills.
He did not go out of the courtyard again and instead took Blood-Increasing Pills every day to cultivate.
Most people could only take one Blood-Increasing Pill per day at most.
Taking more than that would waste the medicine's efficacy and make it difficult to absorb.
But Lin Fei was different. He could easily absorb two Blood-Increasing Pills every day.
Taking two Blood-Increasing Pills allowed Lin Fei's progress in the Giant Whale Technique to increase by 10% every day, and the speed of its progress was very fast.
