With the death of the mysterious man in the black robe, the Blood Refining Formation naturally collapsed without the guidance of a Qi cultivator.
Lin Fei searched the mysterious man's body. He found some porcelain bottles and a secret manual. It turned out to be a Qi Condensation cultivation technique. Called the Yin Blood Sutra.
This Yin Blood Sutra seemed to be incomplete. It could only be practiced up to the fourth level of Qi Condensation.
Lin Fei took a look. The Yin Blood Sutra was indeed cruel and evil. The cultivation method required the use of Yin blood.
What was Yin blood?
It was actually the blood taken from a person's heart, killed during the Yin hours, and used for cultivation. The cultivation speed would be incredibly fast with it.
If one wanted to break through a bottleneck, they could even use the Blood Refining Formation to refine the Yin Blood Pill.
Consuming the Yin Blood Pill, one had a high probability of breaking through the bottleneck. If it didn't work, they could take a second Yin Blood Pill.
According to the information Lin Fei obtained from interrogating some pirates about this mysterious man in the black robe, he was preparing to refine the Yin Blood Pill.
He was likely planning to use it to break through to the fourth level of Qi Condensation. That was why he took the risk, leading the pirates ashore, plundering villages and towns.
He even planned to attack Haizhou City, using the blood of the people of Haizhou City to refine the pill.
The Yin Blood Sutra, even among Qi cultivators, was considered an extremely devilish technique. Cultivating people as nourishment was intolerable to the world. No wonder the mysterious man in the black robe chose to become a pirate.
Only as a pirate, drifting at sea, could he stay away from martial artists and Qi cultivators. And avoid being pursued and killed by other Qi cultivators or powerful martial artists.
"The Yin Blood Sutra is harmful and must be burned!"
Without any hesitation, Lin Fei burned the Yin Blood Sutra in front of everyone. So that no one would covet it.
A few hours had passed since the end of the battle, the interrogation was almost over. Lin Fei obtained a lot of information about the pirates. For example, the pirates' base.
Lin Fei found a sea chart on Sea Yama King's body. The specific location of the island was marked on it.
"Eliminate evil completely! There are still remnants of the pirates on the island. If we don't eradicate them this time, they might regroup after a while and pose a threat to Haizhou City. So, I plan to lead a team to sea and level the pirates' lair!"
Thus, Lin Fei led everyone back to Haizhou City. The Nine Profound Sect began to recruit some sea merchants' ships. In just a few days, they gathered more than a dozen large ships.
Lin Fei no longer hesitated and immediately led the fleet of over a dozen ships, leaving Haizhou City and heading out to sea.
In the vast ocean, a dozen large ships seemed very insignificant. Lin Fei stood on the deck, gazing at the boundless sea. He couldn't help but feel his own insignificance.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
In the face of nature's power, Martial artists and Qi cultivators alike were insignificant.
Lin Fei recalled the situation when he killed the mysterious man in the black robe.
The man was too confident.
Although the man in the black robe was only at the Qi Condensation third level, Qi cultivators were different from martial artists. They had various means at their disposal.
Their strength depended more on spells, magical tools, talismans, formations, and so on. The difference in realms was just a matter of the amount of spiritual power.
If the man in the black robe had magical tools or powerful spells, killing a peak Acquired martial artist would be nothing.
There was once a Qi Condensation third level cultivator, with just a talisman, he killed a twelfth-level Acquired martial artist! That was a true Acquired peak martial artist. Only one step away from Innate.
That was why people were so in awe of cultivators. Even martial artists couldn't help but feel inferior when facing a cultivator. This was also the reason why many Acquired martial artists didn't dare to take action when encountering cultivators.
However, Lin Fei didn't have that much reverence. But this encounter made Lin Fei more determined that if he were to face a Qi cultivator, he must strike first and gain the upper hand.
Once he made a move, he had to kill the opponent with an overwhelming force. Otherwise, martial artists would be at a disadvantage when facing Qi cultivators.
In that manor, if the black-robed cultivator hadn't been so confident, he could have hidden in some corner of the manor, manipulating the Blood Refining Formation, slowly trapping Lin Fei and the others to death.
Given enough time, the Blood Refining Formation could erode everyone's minds and eventually drive them to madness and then death.
But the black-robed man was too confident. He didn't even take Acquired martial artists seriously. He thought that once they entered the Blood Refining Formation, Lin Fei and the others would be like meat on his chopping block, ready for him to slaughter.
As a result, he was killed by Lin Fei's Saber-drawing Technique in one strike.
However, although Lin Fei won, his victory was actually quite lucky.
"The means of Acquired martial artists are too limited. When facing Qi cultivators, we are naturally at a disadvantage. However, if I can comprehend the saber intent, with the invisible and formless saber intent attack, I won't be without countermeasures even when facing Qi cultivators."
Lin Fei wanted to comprehend the saber intent as soon as possible. However, he hadn't made any progress with it recently.
Lin Fei was helpless. He could only wait patiently.
...
The weather at sea was the most unpredictable. One moment it was clear skies, and suddenly, dark clouds filled the sky.
"Boom."
Huge waves surged. The waves in the sea constantly slapped against the large ships. People on the ship staggered from side to side.
If not careful, they could be thrown into the sea. Fortunately, the large ships were controlled by experienced sailors. Although the waves were huge, the ships were not in danger of capsizing.
Lin Fei stood on the deck, watching the huge waves that followed one after another.
Suddenly, a voice from the system sounded in Lin Fei's mind.
"Your Triple Wave Technique has witnessed the mighty power of the ocean waves and comprehended the secrets of the layered waves."
"Your Triple Wave Technique has now reached perfection!"
Suddenly, a memory emerged in Lin Fei's mind. It was as if he had instantly comprehended the secrets of great waves. One wave after another, just like the layering method of the Triple Wave Technique.
At this moment, the Triple Wave Technique had reached perfection! Lin Fei couldn't have imagined that the Triple Wave Technique, which he seldom used, would reach perfection even before his Saber-drawing Technique.
And Lin Fei immediately thought of the possibility that when similar types of martial arts reached perfection, they could be merged.
Lin Fei's Triple Wave Technique and Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist had both reached the realm of perfection.
Once merged, which fist technique would be dominant? Or would both be present?
Lin Fei didn't dwell on his doubts for too long. Soon, he felt an unusual sensation in his body. He immediately returned to his cabin and sat cross-legged.
At this moment, there were rumbling sounds coming from within Lin Fei's body. Moreover, it seemed as if a series of images suddenly appeared in his mind.
Lin Fei seemed to "see" two balls of light constantly colliding in his mind. Gradually, the lights took on human forms.
A golden light slowly transformed into a giant with a dragon head and an elephant body. Another blue light resembled the ocean, with faint sounds of waves echoing within.
Clearly, the golden light represented the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist, while the blue light represented the Triple Wave Technique.
Now, these two perfection-level martial arts were about to determine their fate within Lin Fei's body.
