Yi Mountain Mansion City was shaken by the news that the Liu family had killed the notorious thief the Wind Chasing Fragrance.
The thief's body was sent to the government office, and the reward money from the government naturally fell into Lin Fei's hands, as well as the silver from the Liu family.
Originally, Ling Yao had promised 20,000 taels of silver, but this time, Mr. Liu unexpectedly gave him 30,000 taels of silver, saying that the extra 10,000 taels were compensation for their previous neglect of Lin Fei. Naturally, Lin Fei did not refuse the extra money and accepted it.
This trip was quite rewarding for Lin Fei. With the silver from the Liu family, the government's reward money, and the silver he found on the Wind Chasing Fragrance, he received almost 90,000 taels of silver, which was a significant sum. Lin Fei was naturally satisfied.
However, Lin Fei's left hand showed no signs of improvement after a day of rest, and the situation even worsened. So he didn't delay any further and went to Mr. Liu and Liu's residence to bid farewell, saying, "Mr. Liu, Miss Liu, My arm was injured, and the condition hasn't improved. I need to return to the Nine Profound Sect for treatment as soon as possible, so I've come to say goodbye."
"Young Master Lin, the Liu family is extremely grateful. When you come to Yi Mountian Mansion City in the future, you must come to the Liu family as a guest." Mr. Liu didn't insist any further.
"Definitely." After saying that, Lin Fei turned around and left.
A few days later, Lin Fei returned to the Nine Profound Sect. He immediately went to find Ling Yao.
"Are you injured?" Ling Yao looked at Lin Fei's left arm hanging down, and her expression changed slightly.
"That flower thief is an acquired martial artist. I was injured by his inner power. He has been killed by me, and Miss Liu is safe." Lin Fei briefly explained the situation.
"Acquired martial artist... you were injured by his inner power. If you have inner power, it's easy to deal with it. But if you don't, you need someone else to expel the inner power in your arm." Ling Yao approached and placed her hand on Lin Fei's left arm.
Immediately, Lin Fei felt a hot stream of energy flowing into his body from Ling Yao's hand.
Ling Yao was very close to Lin Fei. A faint fragrance entered Lin Fei's nose.
Lin Fei calmed his mind and quietly experienced Ling Yao's inner power as it flowed through his arm's tendons and meridians.
As time passed, about half an hour later, Ling Yao withdrew her hand. Sweat appeared on her forehead, and she looked a bit tired.
"Okay, I have expelled the inner power in your arm. Try it out."
Lin Fei slowly lifted his arm. It could move now. However, it was still a little sore and weak.
"Eat some blood-activating and stasis-dissolving medicine and rest for a few days, and you'll be fine.
Lin Fei, I didn't expect the Wind Chasing Fragrance to be an acquired martial artist, putting you in danger.
This time, I owe you a favor. If you need any help in the future, you can find me."
Ling Yao said solemnly.
She was indeed at fault this time.
She asked Lin Fei to protect Miss Liu, but she didn't expect the opponent to be an acquired martial artist.
Lin Fei was only a Body Refining martial artist.
If it weren't for Lin Fei's strong strength, the consequences would have been death.
She felt guilty in her heart and owed Lin Fei a favor, which was only reasonable.
"Okay, then I won't be polite. If anything happens in the future, I will definitely ask Senior Sister Ling for help." Lin Fei was also not polite.
Ling Yao's favor was hard to come by, and he wouldn't waste it. Not to mention, this time he did take a risk.
After Ling Yao left, Lin Fei immediately got up and went to the Treasure Pavilion.
Inside the Treasure Pavilion, Lin Fei exchanged all the silver bills for contribution points.
Ninety thousand silver notes were equivalent to ninety thousand contribution points.
Combined with the ten thousand plus contribution points he had previously, Lin Fei's contribution points finally exceeded the one hundred thousand mark.
Inside the Treasure Pavilion, Lin Fei purchased some medicines for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis to treat his arm injury.
However, Lin Fei still wanted to continue buying some Blood-Increasing Pills.
But, the effect of the Blood-Increasing Pills in cultivating was not good anymore.
At least, Lin Fei felt that it was too slow.
So, he asked the elder of the Treasure Pavilion, "Elder, do you know of any other elixirs that can increase one's qi and blood, besides the Blood-Increasing Pill?"
"Blood-Increasing Pill is already the best elixir for increasing qi and blood in our Nine Profound Sect," the elder replied.
Lin Fei pondered for a moment.
The effect of the Blood-Increasing Pill was still there, but it was too slow.
Now Lin Fei was at the eighth level of Body Refining.
Taking one Blood-Increasing Pill could only increase his cultivation progress by about 1%.
If it were other martial artists, this speed would be quite amazing.
After all, many martial artists took several years to make a breakthrough.
Now Lin Fei's Gaint Whale Body Refining Technique had a cultivation progress of 42%.
He needed at least sixty Blood-Increasing Pills to break through to the ninth level.
Thinking of this, Lin Fei raised his head and said to the elder, "I want to exchange for sixty Blood-Increasing Pills."
"Sixty pills, are you sure?" The elder was somewhat surprised.
"Sure."
The elder did not say anything and directly took out sixty Blood-Increasing Pills, a total of sixty thousand contribution points.
"Also, some medicinal materials to cultivate the Vajra Iron Cloth."
Lin Fei purchased some medicinal materials to use for medicinal baths.
Otherwise, the progress of the Vajra Iron Cloth would hardly improve.
After some purchases, Lin Fei had just over ten thousand contribution points left.
"No amount of contribution points would be enough to spend...."
Lin Fei shook his head and quickly left the Treasure Pavilion with the purchased medicinal materials and Blood-Increasing Pills.
