"Amitabha." Master Fayuan and Master Fajue recited a Buddhist chant.
Lin Fei went straight to Cian's body. He searched the body for a while but found no martial arts secret manuals. There were only some silver tickets and a black token.
Lin Fei didn't look closely and put everything into his pocket.
"Two masters, thank you for your hospitality. Farewell!" Lin Fei said. He then turned around and left Hongfa Temple with big strides.
Lin Fei quickly returned to his home and was immediately called by his parents.
In the living room of the Lin family, Lin's father and mother looked at Lin Fei with a solemn expressions.
"Fei, you've been gone for more than ten days. I heard from the steward that you went to Luo City?" Lin's father asked.
"Father, the Zhang family in Luo City has requested my help. They encountered some trouble and wrote to me. I naturally had to go and solve their problem." Lin Fei replied.
Lin's father nodded. As a wealthy merchant, he had heard of powerful martial artists who could be employed by others. But he never thought that his own son would one day be employed by others.
"Fei, ten days ago, the Prefect sent some gifts. He said that the Wang family had done us wrong in our past dealings and wanted to apologize." Lin's father continued.
"I've been thinking these days that something seems off. Why would the Wang family suddenly send gifts? Fei, did you do something?" Lin's father and mother looked at Lin Fei with suspicion.
They were not foolish. As a high-ranking official, how could the Prefect easily apologize and send gifts? Moreover, the gifts were indeed sincere.
Lin Fei immediately understood. It seemed that Wang Xuan and Prefect Wang were both smart people. By sending gifts to the Lin family, they were actually expressing their stance - they did not want to be enemies with Lin Fei.
"Mother, Father, you can take the compensation and be at ease. I went to Luo City and unexpectedly ran into Wang Xuan. She seems to be together with an inner disciple of Qiuxia Mountain. The trouble I helped Zhang's family solve was related to them. It's probably because Wang Xuan told the prefect, so he sent the compensation."
Upon hearing this, Lin's parents were shocked.
"Fei, what did you do to make the prefect send compensation?!" Lin's father's voice was trembling.
"Mother, Father, I've already broken through to the acquired realm! From now on, in Zhou Mountian Mansion City, no one can intimidate our Lin family. Nobody, not even the Prefect Wang! From now on, Zhou Mountian Mansion City will listen to our Lin family!"
After finishing speaking, Lin Fei bowed to his parents and left, leaving Lin's parents in a state of shock.
...
Back in his room, Lin Fei took out some miscellaneous items from his pocket. These things were all obtained from Cian. Among them were some silver notes.
Lin Fei took a careful look. There were quite a lot, 160,000 taels of silver.
If added the remaining 140,000 taels of silver bills that Lin Fei still had, he now had a total of 300,000 taels of silver bills on him.
"Who is Cian? Where did he get so many silver bills?" Lin Fei was very curious.
Even for an acquired martial artist, it was not easy to carry around tens of thousands of taels of silver notes so casually. This Cian's identity was probably not simple.
Among the pile of items on the table, besides the silver notes, there was also a black iron token.
Lin Fei picked it up and looked at it. It was a token with four small characters engraved on it.
"What does 'Earth 23' mean?" Lin Fei flipped the black token over and over. He tended to think that it was a token that proved Cian's identity.
Cian should belong to a mysterious organization. Earth 23 represented Cian's identity.
Lin Fei couldn't find any other information about this mysterious organization for now, so he had to put the token away.
This trip back to Lin's family was fruitful for Lin Fei. Not only did he obtain a large number of silver notes, but he also broke through to the acquired realm with the fusion of three inner powers.
Even more importantly, Lin Miao could now refine pills! At least, he could refine some pills for martial artists.
If Lin Miao became stronger and reached the level of qi condensed, he could refine more valuable pills.
Lin Fei went to Lin Miao's side courtyard. The atmosphere here seemed even eviler than before.
Although this area was designated as a forbidden zone in the Lin family, there were still some servants who were curious and wanted to come in and take a look.
But since Lin Miao set up the Yin Gathering Formation, no one dared to come to the side courtyard anymore.
Lin Fei opened the gate of the side courtyard.
Even though he was already an Acquired Martial Artist and had extremely strong physical abilities, having even practiced Vajra Iron Cloth, it seemed to have no effect against the erosion of the Yin Gathering Formation on him. He felt as creepy as everyone else.
"The Qi Cultivation system is completely different from the Martial Arts system. If I encounter a Qi cultivator, I must be careful and cautious. I must take the initiative and not give the opponent any chance to catch their breath, thoroughly killing them!" Lin Fei's heart trembled.
He thought again that although there were few Qi Cultivators in this world, there must be some.
If he encountered one in the future, he must not be careless. He must use his full force to crush or even kill them.
Otherwise, some of the Qi Cultivators' techniques could be mysterious and unpredictable, making it hard to defend against.
"Lin Miao."
"Young Master."
Lin Miao seemed to be in his element in the Yin Gathering Formation. He exuded a special aura that Lin Fei could sense. Lin Miao must have become stronger.
"Lin Miao, I will be leaving tomorrow and returning to Nine Profound Sect. Your first priority in the Lin family from now on is to practice hard and strive to reach the first level of Qi Condensation."
"I will also have you refine some other pills in the future, which may be even more difficult. You must have a stronger spiritual power to support it."
Lin Miao nodded and said, "Young Master, don't worry. I have been cultivating in the Yin Gathering Formation, and the effect is very good. I will work hard to reach the first level of Qi Condensation as soon as possible."
"Good, then I can rest assured."
Lin Fei looked around the room, which had become creepy because of the Yin Gathering Formation, and suddenly had an idea.
He blurted out, "Lin Miao, do you know any methods for people without the talent to cultivate spiritual power and become a cultivator?"
"Amitabha." Master Fayuan and Master Fajue recited a Buddhist chant.
Lin Fei went straight to Cian's body. He searched the body for a while but found no martial arts secret manuals. There were only some silver tickets and a black token.
