224. Essence Enhancement Pills

Lin Fei returned to his cave dwelling.

News about him in the outside world was undoubtedly being spread far and wide. After all, he had overpowered Ao Yunxiao with great force that day. Furthermore, he had severed Ao Yunxiao's Dao with a single saber stroke.

Whether Ao Yunxiao could recover remained uncertain. As for harboring resentment in Ao Yunxiao's heart, Lin Fei was even less concerned. Until this day, had there been any shortage of individuals who bore ill will towards him? He Mountain Dao, Guardian Primordial Mountain, Sky Reaching Sect - didn't each hold a grudge against him? Yet, he had destroyed the top ten immortal sects of Great Chang.

Therefore, Lin Fei was indifferent to others holding any resentment towards him. Those he had surpassed, none had ever managed to catch up!

Lin Fei carefully savored the battle with Ao Yunxiao. Although Ao Yunxiao was defeated by him, in fact, Ao Yunxiao had his merits. For example, Ao Yunxiao's physical body and true essence were indeed strong. Even when Lin Fei had given his all, displaying his saber momentum and the three saber skills at the Martial Saint level, he was still unable to do anything to Ao Yunxiao.

In the end, he had to combine three saber strokes into one, concentrating his saber momentum to defeat him with a single, most powerful saber strike! If that one saber stroke still failed to defeat Ao Yunxiao, then ultimately, Lin Fei could only resort to attrition. This also allowed Lin Fei to see some of his own shortcomings, or rather, his areas of weakness.

"Merely relying on saber momentum, if my saber momentum does not reach perfection, then there can be no substantial improvement. However, for my saber momentum to reach perfection, there is still a long way to go. Therefore, to enhance my power, I should focus on my physical body and saber essence.

I have saber momentum. When using it to perform saber skills, the stronger my saber essence, the stronger my power, even increasing exponentially. On the other hand, the strengthening of the physical body can be delayed. It is not easy for the physical body to condense an Energy Flower.

To enhance saber essence, given the nature of my True Intention Myriad Transformation Technique, I can transform heaven and earth and the sun and moon. Some heavenly treasures or elixirs can rapidly enhance the cultivation progress of my True Intention Myriad Transformation Technique, increasing saber essence. Seems that a trip to the Treasure Exchange Pavilion is in order."

Lin Fei analyzed the area he should now focus on enhancing. Saber essence! Or rather, he should enhance the True Intention Myriad Transformation Technique.

The True Intention Myriad Transformation Technique could transform heaven and earth, the sun, moon, and stars, leaving nothing untouched. As long as there are heavenly treasures or elixirs, the True Intention Myriad Transformation Technique could improve.

However, this martial art was difficult to cultivate successfully. Yet Lin Fei had used the True Intention Scroll, swallowing this martial art, so this martial art had become Lin Fei's skill. Now, without the need for heavenly treasures or elixirs, his cultivation progress could increase by 1% each day.

In a hundred days, approximately three months, he could break through to the mid-stage of Martial Saint. This was an incredibly terrifying speed. But Lin Fei still found it too slow.

With elixirs or heavenly treasures, the speed would undoubtedly be faster. So, Lin Fei left his cave dwelling and flew towards the Treasure Exchange Pavilion.

Soon, Lin Fei arrived at the Treasure Exchange Pavilion. The pavilion was bustling with people coming and going. Many disciples could come here to trade various treasures. Here, one could not only buy but also sell. And the transactions could only be made using contribution points.

Lin Fei arrived at the Treasure Exchange Pavilion and directly took out his Elder token. The one who attended to Lin Fei was an inner sect disciple. He was only at the innate level. He was likely there to earn some negligible contribution points.

Seeing that Lin Fei was an Elder, the disciple's eyes brightened slightly. His demeanor became more respectful: "Elder, may I know what treasures you need?"

"Do you have any elixirs that can directly enhance a Martial Saint's True Essence?" Lin Fei asked directly.

"Elixirs that enhance a Martial Saint's True Essence? Yes, definitely. And, there are many types of elixirs."

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

Then, this disciple took Lin Fei to see those elixirs. Based on different effects, the elixirs were also categorized into several types. For example, there was the Great Revival Pill, which had a mild but lasting effect. It could increase Martial Saint's True Essence without damaging the foundation. But, it was too expensive! And honestly, its effects were not very noticeable. It also required time to refine.

Then there were the impressively effective Essence Enhancement Pills! These Essence Enhancement Pills were indeed very effective. They could have excellent effects on the True Essence of early and even mid-stage Martial Saints. However, they were not easy to refine. Often, it required immense energy to refine. And, in a word, expensive! In two words, very expensive!

Many Martial Saints would rather cultivate slowly on their own. After all, Martial Saints had a lifespan of five hundred years. Slowly cultivating their True Essence, they could also cultivate their True Essence to the peak one day.

"Essence Enhancement Pills, how much do they cost?"

Lin Fei was interested in the Essence Enhancement Pills.

"One Essence Enhancement Pill costs one hundred contribution points."

"One hundred contribution points?"

Lin Fei thought for a moment.

"Give me ten Essence Enhancement Pills."

Thus, Lin Fei spent the remaining one thousand contribution points to buy ten Essence Enhancement Pills. He quickly returned to his cave dwelling.

"Let's test the effect."

Lin Fei directly swallowed an Essence Enhancement Pill.

"Boom."

As soon as the Essence Enhancement Pill went down his throat, a surge of heat quickly flowed through his entire body. Immediately afterward, a large amount of energy radiated from the Essence Enhancement Pill. The True Intention Myriad Transformation Technique rapidly operated and transformed this energy into the saber essence.

One hour, two hours, three hours...

After an entire day, the effect of the Essence Enhancement Pill gradually disappeared. Lin Fei's True Intention Myriad Transformation Technique took a whole day to refine a single Essence Enhancement Pill. It should be noted that other Martial Saints could not always maintain the operation of their techniques. And they didn't have the True Intention Myriad Transformation Technique. Their refining speed was far slower than Lin Fei's.

According to the inner sect disciple from the Treasure Exchange Pavilion, generally, a Martial Saint would need five to ten days to fully refine an Essence Enhancement Pill.

And Lin Fei? It only took him one day to refine a single Essence Enhancement Pill. As for the effect of the Essence Enhancement Pill, Lin Fei could feel that it was not bad.

"System."

Then, Lin Fei immediately pulled up the system panel to check.

Host: Lin Fei

Martial Arts Realm: Early Martial Saint

True Intention Myriad Transformation Technique: Early Stage (Progress 10%)

Blood Essence Nine Transformations: Seventh Transformation (Progress 12%)

Holy Spirit Saber Technique: Mastery (Progress 58%)

Flame Burning Heaven Saber: Mastery (Progress 65%)

Rainbow Transformation Saber Technique: Transcendence (Progress 10%)

Saber Momentum: Transcendence (Progress 0%)

Lin Fei saw the progress of the True Intention Myriad Transformation Technique. It had increased from 6% to 10%.

That is to say, a single Essence Enhancement Pill could enhance the cultivation progress of the True Intention Myriad Transformation Technique by 4%. This effect was actually quite terrifying. After all, if he took twenty-five Essence Enhancement Pills, doesn't that mean he could reach the mid-stage of Martial Saint?

"No, Essence Enhancement Pills definitely don't have such a good effect on ordinary Martial Saints. The pills will also have some wastage. Most Martial Saints can't refine all the energy in the pill. As time goes on, the slower the refining speed, the more the pill is wasted. After all, not everyone has the True Intention Myriad Transformation Technique and can refine the power of the pill every moment of the day..."

Lin Fei thought carefully. Perhaps, only he himself could utilize the medicinal power of the Essence Enhancement Pills so well. Other Martial Saints, if they could absorb 20% of the power of the pill, would be considered pretty good.

But Lin Fei, because of the True Intention Myriad Transformation Technique, and because he could refine the power of the pill at every moment almost let this Essence Enhancement Pill have no medicinal power wastage, he absorbed 100% of the medicinal power of the Essence Enhancement Pill. That's why he was able to increase the cultivation progress by 4% all at once. So, Lin Fei continued to take the Essence Enhancement Pills.

Two, three, four, five...

Nine days passed, and the remaining nine Essence Enhancement Pills were consumed by Lin Fei.

Lin Fei opened his eyes. He glanced at the progress of the True Intention Myriad Transformation Technique. The cultivation progress was at 46%. If he took about fourteen more Essence Enhancement Pills, Lin Fei's True Intention Myriad Transformation Technique should be able to break through to the middle stage.

Just that, there were no more Essence Enhancement Pills. Even the contribution points were gone, unable to purchase from the Treasure Exchange Pavilion.

"Either find the pill formula for Essence Enhancement Pills and refine the pill myself or buy Essence Enhancement Pills directly. But no matter which method, it requires contribution points."

Lin Fei now also realized the importance of contribution points. Before, he had the six thousand contribution points given by the Ancient Origin Sect, even the true disciple would be envious. But now, the contribution points were spent. If he wanted to improve his strength faster, he could only do tasks to earn contribution points.

The sect is just like that. To get something, one has to give something. Even true disciples are no exception.

So, Lin Fei got up and left the cave, flying towards the task hall of the Ancient Origin Sect.
