Lin Fei turned his head and saw a familiar figure.
"Senior Sister Ling, are you here to pick up a mission too?" Lin Fei looked at Ling Yao.
Ling Yao was an inner disciple, now Lin Fei was also an inner disciple, so their identities were equal.
Ling Yao narrowed her eyes slightly. It seemed that she saw Lin Fei's badge. "So, you have become an inner disciple. It seems that you have reached the seventh level of Body Refining?"
"I just recently advanced to the seventh level of Body Refining," Lin Fei replied politely.
Ling Yao looked Lin Fei up and down before speaking directly, "You came to the task hall to pick up a mission, right? Being an inner disciple consumes too many resources compared to being an outer disciple. I have a mission here. Well, it's my personal request. I don't know if you will take it or not?"
"What mission?" Lin Fei asked.
"I have a distant cousin in Yi Mountain Mansion City who has had some trouble at home recently.
There has been a flower-snatching thief in Yi Mountain Mansion City recently, suspected to be above the seventh level of Body Refining.
My cousin's family sent me a letter asking me to go to Yi Mountain Mansion City to protect my cousin for a period of time.
But I have had a crucial task recently and can't spare the time, so I entrust you to go to Yi Mountain Mansion City.
The deadline is one month. I will give you ten thousand contribution points separately. After the deadline, my cousin's family will give you another twenty thousand silver.
If you can catch or kill that flower-stealing thief, not only can you get my cousin's family's silver, but also the official reward from the government."
Lin Fei's eyes lit up. However, after considering for a moment, he asked in doubt, "This condition is too good. Even an acquired strong person could be hired with this. Why would you entrust such a mission to a mere Body Refining martial artist like me?"
Ling Yao laughed, "You are not an ordinary Body Refining martial artist. With the Nine Shadow Saber Technique at the perfection realm, it is rare for anyone in the Body Refining stage to withstand your one saber."
Moreover, although three thousand silver can hire acquired martial artists, they will not be too grateful to you. For you, it is like giving you charcoal in the snow, and the significance is different. Well, will you take this mission or not?"
Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.
Lin Fei looked at Ling Yao meaningfully.
Ling Yao was straightforward, even saying "giving you charcoal in the snow." It was clear that she was trying to win over Lin Fei.
Anyway, entrusting the mission to anyone was the same. Lin Fei had enough strength.
"Okay, I'll take on this task. Thank you, Senior Sister Ling, for your kindness!" Lin Fei saluted with clasped hands.
Ling Yao took the initiative to show kindness, so of course he had to accept.
"Okay, I'll transfer ten thousand contribution points to you first. I'll also write a letter for you to take directly to the Liu Family in Yi Mountain Mansion City."
So, Ling Yao transferred the contribution points to Lin Fei and gave him a letter.
"The Flower Thief must have outstanding speed and agility. Guarding for a month would be too time-consuming. The best way is to catch or kill him.
However, to catch the Flower Thief, I must have martial arts skills in speed and agility."
So, Lin Fei went to the Martial Arts Pavilion again.
He had just received ten thousand contribution points from Ling Yao. Plus, he had several thousand contribution points from before. Therefore, choosing a lightness skill was naturally not a problem.
There were also many lightness skills in the Martial Arts Pavilion. After all, speed and agility were also important in combat.
Like Ling Yao, she had good lightness skills that even if Lin Fei had the Nine Shadow Saber Technique at perfection level, he wouldn't be able to touch her at all.
However, what Lin Fei wanted was a lightness skill that combined speed and agility.
This was a bit difficult to find. After all, Body Refining martial artists did not have inner power.
Their agility relied solely on physical movements.
As for speed? That had to rely on brute force.
After searching for a long time, Lin Fei finally found a martial art skill that was barely satisfactory.
"Flowing Clothes Skill."
"Agility and light, allowing one to move quickly and nimbly within a small space."
Lin Fei glanced at the introduction of this martial art skill. He was still relatively satisfied.
As for speed, Lin Fei had already given up.
Without inner power, what talk of speed? It would be better to compete in endurance.
Anyway, for Body Refining cultivators, whoever ran faster relied on endurance and strength.
Lin Fei exchanged for this lightness skill.
It took him half an hour to memorize the Flowing Clothes Skill.
"Your Flowing Clothes Skill has been Beginner-level after half an hour of hard training."
Lin Fei was moved.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh."
In the training room, Lin Fei began to move and dodge.
The training room was very narrow. But Lin Fei moved like a light swallow, agile and nimble.
"The agility is indeed not bad. Hope it can be as diligent as the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist."
Lin Fei was very satisfied with this martial art. But he still didn't know the nature of this martial art.
Lin Fei preferred diligent martial arts that he didn't need to worry about them.
Lin Fei had already gained lightness skills, so he didn't want to delay any longer.
He packed his luggage and carried the big saber on his back.
This was Lin Fei's second time leaving the mountain. But this time, he didn't need to take on a task. Inner disciples could leave the Nine Profound Sect freely.
Lin Fei rented a fast horse.
Riding on the fast horse, he left a trail of dust and quickly left Nine Profound Sect.
