"Your Saber-drawing Technique which has slayed the strong enemies surpassed itself with ease, attaining a profound understanding of the true essence of drawing a saber, resulting in a 50% increase in the progress of cultivation."
"Your Saber-drawing Technique has reached transcendence!"
"Your Leaping Technique, combined with your Saber-drawing Technique, has comprehended the secret of 'leaping forward,' leading to a 50% increase in the progress of cultivation."
Suddenly, Lin Fei heard a voice from the system. He closed his eyes, and a memory of the Saber-drawing Technique appeared in his mind. His understanding of the Saber-drawing Technique had become even more profound, reaching the level of transcendence.
The Saber-drawing Technique at the level of transcendence had a significant improvement, both in terms of nurturing and drawing a saber. It was a qualitative leap.
His Leaping Technique also made great strides. Although its progress had not yet reached 100%, it had achieved a breakthrough.
This newfound comprehension brought Lin Fei closer to the level of transcendence in his Leaping Technique. Lin Fei thought it would not take long to reach it.
The battle for the position of the princess had ended, and Lin Fei returned to his room in the palace to rest. As for the aftermath of Li Yin, Ouyang Rong, and Xia Bing, Ling Yao would undoubtedly take care of it.
Lin Fei drew his Hidden Saber and savored the breathtaking sensation of his Saber-drawing Technique.
He could not use it anymore for the time being, as he needed to nurture his saber again. This was the way of the Saber-drawing Technique.
No matter how long he nurtured it, be it months or years, even decades, once he drew the saber, he would need to nurture it again.
With a snap, Lin Fei returned the Hidden Saber to its scabbard, and the technique of nurturing the saber began to work automatically.
Lin Fei had a vague feeling that his Hidden Saber was slowly gathering power, and it was much faster than before. After all, he had already reached the Transcendence realm in the Saber-drawing Technique.
If he nurtured his saber two months now, it would surely have even more terrifying power than before. If he could perfect the Saber-drawing Technique, it would be even more frightening.
"Dong Dong Dong."
At dusk, there was a knock on Lin Fei's door. He opened it to find Ling Yao standing outside in a new outfit, wearing the attire of a princess, looking elegant and dignified. And she seemed to have a touch more majesty on her.
"Lin Fei, sorry. I've been busy all day and only now have some free time. I haven't even thanked you for changing my destiny. I know the help I gave you before was insignificant, but today, you really saved me and changed my fate," Ling Yao said.
Lin Fei remained silent as Ling Yao continued, "Here are the 500,000 silver bills we agreed on, as well as the contribution points."
Lin Fei took the silver bills. He deserved it.
"By the way, I just obtained the position of the princess and received some news. Every three years, the various branches of the Great Chang royal family hold an internal competition among the royal family members. There are still a few months left until the competition, and followers can participate as well.
If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
So, I want to invite you to participate in the competition with me. If we get in the top three, we can obtain the Heavenly Meridian Pill."
Lin Fei's heart was slightly moved and asked, "What kind of spiritual elixir is the Heavenly Meridian Pill and what does it do?"
Ling Yao explained, "The Heavenly Meridian Pill is a treasure for Acquired Martial Artists. If an Acquired Martial Artist takes one, it can help them open up a meridian except for the Ren and Tu channels. It's like directly increasing one's level.
Many Acquired Martial Artists use it to break through bottlenecks. Unfortunately, each Acquired Martial Artist can only take one Heavenly Meridian Pill. Taking a second one won't have any effect. Despite this, it is still a dream pill for many Acquired Martial Artists!"
Lin Fei's eyes brightened at the hearing of such a miraculous elixir.
"Is there a recipe for this Heavenly Meridian Pill?" Lin Fei asked. If there was a recipe, perhaps Lin Miao could refine it.
"Do you know how precious is the Heavenly Meridian Pill? Moreover, it's not martial artists who refine the Heavenly Meridian Pill, but immortal masters! And it is refined by immortal masters who have surpassed the Qi Condensation Realm. Even if there is a recipe, ordinary people cannot refine it. Only our Great Chang Dynasty and some powerful immortal masters possess the recipe for the Heavenly Meridian Pill."
Lin Fei understood. The recipe for the Heavenly Meridian Pill could not be obtained. However, the pill could be obtained through royal competition. Moreover, it was a benefit given by the royal family to its members. Ordinary people did not have the opportunity to obtain it.
"This is a good thing, and of course, I agree," Lin Fei said with a smile.
Ling Yao nodded and pondered for a moment before saying, "Lin Fei, there are still a few months before the royal competition. What do you think to stay in the palace?"
However, Lin Fei shook his head and said, "No, a few months is still a long time. I'd rather go back to Nine Profound Sect. If the date of the competition is confirmed, you can send a letter to Nine Profound Sect, and I will come here."
Lin Fei didn't want to stay in Chang City. Chang City was the center of the Great Chang Dynasty. Various forces were entangled there. Moreover, Ling Yao was now a princess with a special status. The situation she faced was even more complicated. Anyway, it was better to go back to Nine Profound Sect.
"Okay, when the date of the competition is confirmed, I will inform you by letter," Ling Yao also nodded.
It was evident that Ling Yao was very excited now. She even had a feeling of "grand ambitions." After all, she had just become a princess. This was Ling Yao's long-cherished wish. Now, it had finally come true. Naturally, she was very excited.
However, Lin Fei also reminded her, "Senior Sister Ling, we're martial artists, only martial arts are fundamental! Even if Senior Sister Ling is in Chang City, Senior Sister should focus on practicing martial arts. If you are obsessed with trivial worldly affairs, I'm afraid Senior Sister Ling's martial arts will hardly improve."
Ling Yao nodded. However, she sighed and said, "Thank you for reminding me, Junior Brother Lin. Indeed, martial arts are the foundation of martial artists. But I have become a princess. Once I sit in this position, there are some things that I cannot control.
Although martial arts must be practiced, it is impossible to put all those worldly affairs aside. Moreover, innate is so difficult to obtain. Not everyone can get innate.
Even if I do my best and focus solely on practicing martial arts, I cannot guarantee that I will achieve the innate. My father, the south king, has already reached the peak of acquired, just one step away from innate. But this step has trapped my father for twenty years."
Lin Fei understood. Ling Yao had chosen another path.
"Junior Brother Lin, you are a true innate seed. In the future, if I want to secure my position as a princess, I am afraid that I will need Junior Brother Lin's help.
If Junior Brother Lin needs anything, just say it. I will do my best to help Junior Brother."
This was Ling Yao's promise. It was also Ling Yao's attempt to win over Lin Fei. After all, in many years to come, Ling Yao wanted to secure her position as a princess and she still needed Lin Fei's support.
Lin Fei did not express any opinion, but nodded and said, "If I need anything, I won't be polite."
Ling Yao also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Lin Fei was willing to support her, she would have more time to recruit more skilled experts and have the confidence to secure her position as a princess.
Ling Yao left.
For Ling Yao's choice, Lin Fei could only shake his head. He did not care about any power or status. Without immortality, after a hundred years, everyone would turn to dust.
Lin Fei was on the path to immortality. He would single-mindedly practice martial arts.
Without the talent of Qi cultivation, only martial arts could help Lin Fei achieve immortality. Therefore, he would spare no effort and pay any price to pursue the path of martial arts.
