After glancing at the herbs planted in the spatial bead, Lin Xiaofei turned around and began cultivating again.
As he activated the Body Tempering Divine Art, a surge of power immediately arose within his body, flowing rapidly like a surging river and gradually converging together.
Soon, the combined power began to circulate around the dantian, causing it to emit a slight thumping sound.
Lin Xiaofei did not rush to break through, but continued to circulate his power, making the power circulating in his body more gentle. In time, he could easily transform the gentle power into internal energy.
In addition, his physical strength is stronger than that of an average peak-level martial artist, making it naturally more difficult for him to break through. Therefore, he needs to continuously transform the power circulating in his body into a gentler force.
Therefore, Lin Xiaofei wanted to consolidate the power within his body, hoping to step into the Inner Qi Realm in one go.
"However, a significant portion of the power circulating within my body has already transformed into a gentle force, and I estimate that it will generate internal energy within a few days."
Lin Xiaofei made a judgment in his mind.
Without the aid of elixirs, it typically takes eight or nine years, or even twelve or thirteen years, for a peak-level martial artist to cultivate internal energy.
He knew that in Qingshan Town, once someone cultivated internal energy, they were considered a top expert. However, in Xiagu County, there were countless martial artists who had cultivated internal energy, but they were at most minor figures with some strength.
However, Lin Xiaofei knew in his heart that with his current strength, he would definitely be a master in Qingshan Town, but in this canyon county, he would be considered very weak.
He came here to do this mission because he offended Senior Brother Xiong Ying. Xiong Ying's father is a deputy hall master in the gang. He estimated that if he went to the Internal Affairs Hall to take on missions in the future, he would probably be targeted again, which made him feel uncomfortable.
"Junior Brother Lin, after making some inquiries, I learned that your mission is to hunt Water Frost Fish, which is not a good mission."
Feng Yilun found Lin Xiaofei, paused, and said somewhat angrily, "
This Manager Ding actually assigned you such an easy task. How much silver can you earn in a month? It probably won't even be enough for your cultivation.
This is so unfair!
"I think this task is pretty good; it's easy and comfortable."
Lin Xiaofei said calmly.
For him, this task could be easily delegated to Ma Sandao and the others, while he could practice martial arts in the nearby woods. This was a good thing.
Taking advantage of his leisure time, he planned to cultivate internal energy as soon as possible and become an internal energy realm martial artist.
"The six of you hunt only one Water Frost Fish every day, which is indeed quite leisurely and carefree. However, you won't get many contribution points or earn much silver. So how are you going to buy cultivation resources?"
If one relies solely on their martial arts skills to cultivate, how long would it take to become a master of internal energy?
As Feng Yilun spoke, he picked up a teapot, poured himself a cup of water, swallowed it in one gulp, and then said, "
The reason I've come to see you is this: I want the money I gave to Steward Ding back.
"I originally intended to return it to you, but seeing that you can afford a large courtyard house in Canyon County, I suppose you must be quite wealthy. How about I lend you this money for a while?"
"Alright," Lin Xiaofei nodded and said.
He still had over two thousand taels of silver in his spatial bead, so he naturally didn't need a hundred taels more and agreed to Senior Brother Feng's request.
"He's truly my good junior brother."
Feng Yilun smiled and said, "
Since your task is so easy, the other junior brothers can do it for you. Or, in a few days, I'll take you somewhere to broaden your horizons."
"What kind of knowledge do you have?"
Lin Xiaofei asked with a puzzled look.
"You've only been here for a short time, and you haven't even had a chance to properly familiarize yourself with the Qingfeng Gang before you've come here to do missions. You probably don't know that we have a martial arts arena within our gang."
This martial arts arena is specially set up for us inner disciples. Inner disciples can engage in martial arts battles here, and the top ten inner disciples can receive a large sum of silver every month.
I know you're unfamiliar with the Qingfeng Gang headquarters, so I thought I'd take you there to broaden your horizons and see the martial arts battles between the inner disciples. This will increase our combat experience.
A smile appeared on Feng Yilun's face, and he said again:
Junior brother, if you go to the martial arts arena, you can engage in martial arts battles. If you can defeat your opponents, especially if you make it into the top ten, you can earn a lot of silver.
Oh, and in the martial arts arena, there are also inner sect female disciples fighting. Watching those beautiful senior sisters fight is quite a unique experience.
"After hearing what my senior brother said, I'm actually a little tempted."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofei thought for a moment and decided to go to the martial arts arena with Feng Yilun sometime to take a look.
He had heard of the Qingfeng Gang's martial arts arena before, and it was said that inner disciples of the gang could participate in it. He also wanted to see it for himself.
As the sun set, Lin Xiaofei held a hind leg of the water crocodile beast.
The hind leg meat of the water crocodile beast is said to be beneficial for nourishing blood and increasing physical strength, and it tastes delicious. He plans to grill a hind leg meat to treat himself.
At the same time, he remembered the little black cat he kept in his courtyard. The little black cat was already transforming into a strange beast. He planned to go back and bring the little black cat with him. This way, he could both raise the little black cat and strengthen his bond with it.
Having made his decision, Lin Xiaofei ate and drank his fill, then mounted his horse and rode out of the mission location at Hongshan Water Bay. In the distance, he saw five inner disciples surrounding another inner disciple in a grove of trees near the fishpond in the water bay.
"Several inner disciples surrounded another inner disciple in the woods, apparently trying to steal his belongings."
Lin Xiaofei muttered to himself.
He possessed the Illusionary Eye Technique, which allowed him to see things clearly from a distance. He noticed that those people were all dressed in the robes of inner disciples of the Green Peak Gang, so he took another look.
He couldn't interfere with the behavior of fellow disciples robbing other disciples' belongings, so he shook his head and continued towards Canyon County.
Although he ignored the matter, it did leave him with a slight doubt.
This wasn't the first or second time that fellow disciples had snatched things from each other. During this period, while doing missions, he had also seen some disciples doing missions from a distance having their belongings stolen by their senior brothers.
Moreover, this group of people who steal from their fellow disciples are actually members of the gang themselves. Aren't they afraid of attracting the attention of the gang's higher-ups?
This left Lin Xiaofei with some doubts.
The next day, Lin Xiaofei took the little black cat away and returned to the mission location in Hongshan Shuiwan, which was a small courtyard he had rented.
Arriving in a new place, the little black cat seemed very curious, wandering around in his little yard, and soon ran out of the yard.
Seeing the little black cat walk out of the yard and run towards the fishpond, Lin Xiaofei chased after it to prevent it from running around. However, the little black cat was very mischievous and always tried to go to the edge of the fishpond.
After smelling the fishy smell in the air, Lin Xiaofei understood that the little black cat was probably attracted by the scent emanating from the fishpond and wanted to play at the edge of the pond.
Seeing that the little black cat wanted to play outside, Lin Xiaofei remembered that he had found wild herbs upstream of the bay yesterday. He planned to play with the little black cat while searching for herbs.
Lin Xiaofei picked up the little black cat and walked for a while. The little black cat jumped out of his arms and landed on the ground.
Fortunately, the little black cat had already accepted him as its master. Lin Xiaofei walked in front, and the little black cat followed behind. Moreover, it was quite fast, which showed that the little black cat was no longer an ordinary animal.
After walking for more than twenty minutes, the little black cat ran ahead of Lin Xiaofei, meowed a few times, hesitated for a moment, and then disappeared into a grove of trees. Lin Xiaofei followed.
Soon, the little black cat was seen hiding in the jungle, nibbling on the leaves of a red plant. It tore off a leaf, chewed it a few times, swallowed it, and then prepared to nibble on another leaf of the red plant.
Lin Xiaofei's eyes lit up after taking a look, and he couldn't help but smile.
