Leaving the Scripture Palace, Lin Yi had no regrets. This was his own choice, just like as Elder Han said, considering the uniqueness of this cultivation technique, a thousand merit points is actually a bargain.
He had looked over the brief introduction of the body-refining techniques in Qing Yun City's Commercial Association. Not only do they cost thousands of spirit stones, they can only stimulate the power of Qi and blood, and at most, they're slightly more efficient than martial arts body-refining techniques.
As for the inability to get started, it really isn't a difficult thing for him because he has three titles that all have the effect of breaking through bottlenecks.
If all else failed, he would go to the mountains outside the Liu Yun Sect, find a secluded wind vent, and take Lady Yuan Yuan with him to combine the difficulty of breaking through, the effect of sudden enlightenment, and the minor blessing state. He didn't believe he couldn't break through then.
