68. Treasured Sabers
After some practice, Lin Fei got to the beginner stage of the Triple Wave Technique.
Next was the Leaping Technique.
The Leaping Technique was actually a way of propelling oneself upwards.
Although inner power only flowed through a few meridians, the span it would cross was very large, almost from top to bottom.
Such a long distance span would cause a great loss of inner power each time it was used.
So, even if an acquired martial artist would get very taxing on their inner power.
But Lin Fei was different.
His inner power was three-in-one.
Based on this, his inner power would only become more and more powerful in the future.
The Leaping Technique was very suitable for him.
After about half an hour, Lin Fei had basically understood the Leaping Technique.
He stood up.
The room was too narrow.
The Leaping Technique allowed him to move straight up and down, and he could cover a very long distance in one leap.
So, Lin Fei left the room.
"Whoosh."
The next moment, Lin Fei's inner power was activated.
Immediately, his legs seemed to have infinite strength.
Moreover, his body suddenly became light and ethereal.
His whole body was like a phantom.
In an instant, he leaped across dozens of meters.
"This Leaping Technique is really something!"
Lin Fei was very satisfied with the Leaping Technique.
"System."
The system panel appeared in front of Lin Fei.
Host: Lin Fei
Martial Arts Realm: Acquired First Level
Three Vitality Technique: First Level (4% progress)
Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist: Perfection (0% progress)
Triple Wave Technique: Beginner (5% progress)
Leaping Technique: Beginner (2% progress)
Nine Shadow Saber Technique: Perfection (43% progress)
Saber-drawing Technique: Beginner (80% progress)
Flowing Clothes Skill: Transcendence (0% progress)
Lin Fei saw that he had entered the door for both the Triple Wave Technique and Leaping Technique.
Before reaching mastery or even transcendence, these martial arts would gradually improve.
There was also the Saber-drawing Technique, which was currently at the beginner level and had not yet reached proficiency.
"By the way, I've been using inner power to perform saber techniques lately. This saber seems to have trouble handling the explosive power of inner power.
Also, the Saber-drawing Technique is incredibly powerful. The longer I've been nurturing my saber, the more terrifying its power becomes.
So, I have to switch sabers. Only a treasured saber can withstand the explosive power of the Saber-drawing Technique!"
Lin Fei's saber was just an ordinary one.
It was fine for Body Refining, but not for the Acquired.
When an Acquired martial artist used inner power, the explosive force was not something an ordinary saber could handle.
After a few uses, the saber might break.
Lin Fei left the martial arts pavilion and went straight to the treasure pavilion.
He now had 300,000 contribution points.
There were also elders in the treasure pavilion, all of whom were Acquired-level martial artists.
There was no bargaining in the treasure pavilion, and it was different from ordinary shops.
He went to the elder in charge of the treasure pavilion and respectfully said, "Elder, I need a treasured saber that can withstand the explosive power of inner power."
The elder looked at Lin Fei and then walked over to a shelf full of sabers.
"All of these can withstand the explosive power of inner power. However, the weapon must fit the martial arts and be compatible with the techniques. What saber techniques do you practice?"
Lin Fei didn't hide anything and replied, "Elder, I practice the Nine Shadow Saber Technique and the Saber-drawing Technique. I've already reached perfection in the Nine Shadow Saber Technique."
"Hmm? I didn't expect you to be a saber genius. Your proficiency in saber techniques is so high."
"The Nine Shadow Saber Technique and the Saber-drawing Technique are both fast saber techniques. Therefore, the large saber on your back isn't suitable.
How about this, I suggest you choose two treasured sabers. One for everyday use with the Nine Shadow Saber Technique, and one for nurturing the saber without unsheathing it."
Lin Fei thought it made sense.
Otherwise, he would only have one treasured saber, and he would have to unsheathe it every time he practiced the Nine Shadow saber Technique, which would prevent him from nurturing the saber.
He needed two treasured sabers.
Lin Fei respectfully bowed to the elder and said, "Disciple is not a master of the treasured saber. I hope the elder can help me choose one."
"For your Nine Shadow Saber Technique, use a good Star Saber. This Star Saber has a special material that can withstand the explosion of inner power, even if used at the peak of the acquired realm.
As for your Saber-drawing Technique, you need a truly treasured saber. Here is a Hidden Saber. It was specially crafted by a senior in our sect. That senior had perfected the Saber-drawing Technique.
With the Saber-drawing Technique, I had no idea how many strong enemies he had killed."
The Hidden Saber doesn't look conspicuous, but its material is even more special. Once the inner power explodes, the saber body can even become thinner, making the saber faster."
Lin Fei also nodded and said, "Since it is the elder's recommendation, Disciple will take the Star Saber and the Hidden Saber."
"Okay, the Star Saber is one thousand contribution points. As for the Hidden Saber, it is five thousand contribution points."
"So expensive?"
Lin Fei was surprised.
The Hidden Saber was really expensive.
It was equivalent to five thousand taels of silver.
This was a truly treasured saber!
However, the Hidden Saber was really suitable for the Saber-drawing Technique.
Moreover, Lin Fei was not lacking in contribution points now.
So, he spent six thousand contribution points to buy two treasured sabers.
Lin Fei carried the Star Saber on his back.
As for the Hidden Saber, its body was shorter and suitable for hanging on the waist.
And on the waist, it was also suitable for nurturing the saber.
Although Lin Fei spent six thousand contribution points, he had still over three hundred thousand contribution points.
And every month, inner disciples could get contribution points.
Therefore, contribution points were not lacking in the short term.
Lin Fei didn't need to do tasks.
Instead, he focused on staying in the inner sect.
In the following period of time, Lin Fei really didn't go anywhere.
He stayed in the Nine Profound Sect all the time.
Whether it was the Three Vitality Technique, Saber-drawing Technique, Leaping Technique, Triple Wave Technique, and so on, they were all in the early stages.
It was a time of rapid progress.
Therefore, Lin Fei didn't need to worry.
He just needed to wait patiently.
Time passed day by day.
In a blink of an eye, two months had passed.
In recent days, Lin Fei seemed to have heard that the inner disciples were discussing something.
It seemed that the Task Hall had issued an unusual task.
And it seemed to be issued by Ling Yao.
"Senior Sister Ling Yao encountered some trouble and actually went to the Task Hall to issue a task?"
Lin Fei had been in the inner sect for two months.
He had spent almost most of his time in his own yard.
He didn't have many friends in the inner sect.
Ling Yao was one of his close friends.
Since it concerned Ling Yao, Lin Fei was also very curious.
So, he got up and went straight to the Task Hall.
Inside the Task Hall, there were still many people.
Lin Fei glanced around.
Soon he found the task issued by Ling Yao.
"Recruiting disciples at the Fourth Level of Acquired or higher.
Assist Ling Yao in competing for the position of Princess, and you can get 500,000 contribution points after the event is completed.
The task may be life-threatening, so consider carefully when you come!"
The content of this task was very simple.
However, there was a lot of information revealed.
"Compete for the position of Princess?"
Lin Fei narrowed his eyes.
It seemed that Ling Yao's identity was not ordinary.
After all, the surname "Ling" was the royal surname of the Great Chang Dynasty!
