"Unfortunately, the medicinal effects have been exhausted. Even if we consume the remaining two bottles of the Strength Pill, it probably won't be enough to integrate the Black Wind Palm technique. Otherwise, this new technique would be even more powerful."
Lin Xiaofei sighed softly as he thought to himself.
"My strength and physique have been greatly improved. If I were to fight these three people again, I wouldn't need to use a sneak attack at all; I could win directly with sheer strength."
If my estimation is correct, with my current strength, I should possess the power unleashed by a martial artist in the early stages of the Rank 1.
However, the martial artist whose heart I pierced with my sword should have just entered the early stage of the entry-level martial artist level.
The Heart-Nourishing Pills and Heart-Replenishing Pills I looted from him were exactly what a beginner-level martial artist needed, and his strength was even slightly weaker than mine.
Lin Xiaofei pondered for a moment. The first stage of becoming a top-tier martial artist is refining one's heart, and he already possessed the strength of the first stage of becoming a top-tier martial artist, which made him overjoyed.
Back then, Uncle Hua casually threw a knife and killed the snake beast, which made him yearn for it.
At that time, Uncle Hua said that he had only just reached the early stage of the entry-level martial artist.
Although he has not yet reached the initial level of a mid-level martial artist, he already possesses physical strength similar to that of Uncle Hua back then.
"Now that I possess a more powerful peak-level ordinary cultivation technique, what should I name it?"
Feeling the new cultivation technique circulating within his body, Lin Xiaofei couldn't help but ponder.
"My skin, flesh, and bones have been greatly improved, and my strength has increased throughout my body. I can circulate my own power freely, but I am still at the ordinary peak level."
However, this technique trains the body's strength; perhaps it should be called the Body Forging Divine Skill.
After much deliberation, he realized that most martial arts techniques were for physical training. Although the three techniques had been merged into a new one, this new technique was still for physical training and enhancing one's strength.
Therefore, he felt that the name of this technique should be "Body Tempering Divine Skill".
"Things here are almost done; it's time to pay a visit to that old man."
As the sun rose, its rays shone on his face. Lin Xiaofei glanced around and, finding nothing amiss, turned and left.
However, just as he stepped out of the woods and prepared to head towards the dilapidated Taoist temple, he saw a familiar figure gradually approaching him.
An old man in a dilapidated Taoist temple.
Lin Xiaofei's heart tightened. Although the other party had killed two assassins for him, the old man's sudden approach made him a little wary, wondering what the other party wanted to do.
However, Lin Xiaofei remained calm and walked slowly, just like he would normally walk.
Soon, the two people approached each other and stopped.
“I saw you kill those three people from afar.”
A soft, faint voice came from the old man's mouth.
Lin Xiaofei was startled and frowned slightly. When he killed those three people earlier, he did not notice anyone nearby, but he did not expect to be seen by the old man. It was clear that the old man in front of him was not simple.
"Don't be surprised. I've already taken care of those two assassins and disposed of their bodies. Even if the authorities come here to investigate, it won't do you any good."
The old man said calmly.
"Thank you for your help, senior. If there is anything I can do to help the old man, I will do it as a way to repay you."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofei quickly expressed his gratitude.
He knew the old man was helping him, but he couldn't quite understand why the old man would help him.
He often came to Xiaoyunpo and would occasionally encounter this old man, but he never realized that the old man was a formidable figure, which made him feel somewhat uneasy.
It's clear that this old man was very good at hiding his true intentions.
However, in general, since the old man helped him, he naturally had to repay the kindness.
The old man smiled and said:
Since you're willing to help me with something, I'll take it seriously. I also happen to need someone's help with something, and I think you're a good fit.
For the past three years, I've observed you coming to this secluded spot on Little Cloud Slope almost every day to collect morning dew, then sitting cross-legged on the ground. You must be cultivating immortal arts, are you?
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofei was greatly alarmed.
He originally thought that no one knew he was cultivating immortal techniques, but from the old man's words, he learned that he came here every morning to cultivate immortal techniques. In other words, while he was cultivating immortal techniques here, someone was secretly observing him without his knowledge.
Moreover, when he said he would help the old man with something, the old man immediately had something to do, which surprised him again.
"Senior, the immortal cultivation technique you mentioned is something I've never heard of before. You must have misread it."
Lin Xiaofei feigned composure and said.
"I am a cultivator of immortality. Do you think I am mistaken about whether you cultivate immortal techniques?"
But don't worry, I won't tell anyone about your cultivation of immortality.
However, I must warn you that there is a bloody glint in your eyes, the result of murder. Most people wouldn't notice it, but since you are a member of the Qingfeng Gang, there must be many experts within the gang. If you observe carefully, it would be easy to tell that you have killed someone.
Of course, almost everyone in your Qingfeng Gang has killed someone, and everyone's eyes are filled with bloodlust.
As for the deaths of those three people, I presume you've taken care of it all. Even if your Qingfeng Gang's law enforcement disciples come to investigate, they won't find anything, and they won't be able to trace it back to you.
However, too much bloodlust in one's eyes can easily affect one's mind, thus hindering one's cultivation.
The old man looked Lin Xiaofei up and down, smiled, and said.
"Senior, yes, absolutely."
I know the bloodshot look in my eyes affects my cultivation, but how can I get rid of it? Please advise, senior.
Lin Xiaofei hesitated for a moment, then quickly said.
He knew perfectly well that the three people he had killed had their crime scene cleaned up very well, and he believed that Guo Zishan would not reveal this, otherwise it would not benefit Guo Zishan at all.
Now that the old man in front of us is also involved in the murder, he naturally won't reveal this matter, so even if someone comes here to investigate, it will be fruitless.
He was familiar with what the old man meant by the trace of bloodlust in the eyes. After a murder, the trace of bloodlust from the victim would remain in the killer's eyes.
Back then, he killed Zhang Yugui, and only later realized that there was blood in his eyes. He suspected that his master Zhou Huanshan and Master Li, who instructed him in swordsmanship, must have noticed that he had killed someone, but they just didn't ask him why.
After thinking about it, he realized that he had killed Zhang Yugui in a remote mountain forest, and no one knew about it, nor had it caused any major trouble, so he figured his master wouldn't interfere.
"It's not really about giving guidance."
As he spoke, the old man smiled slightly and continued:
Also, you said you'd do something for me earlier, does that still count?
Lin Xiaofei pondered for a moment, then slowly said:
What do you want me to do for you?
"You don't need to worry too much. The thing I asked you to do is very simple, and I won't ask you to do it for nothing."
First, I have a pill here that, once taken, will remove the bloodshot look from your eyes. I'll also give you a spell, the Illusionary Eye Technique. I'm sure you'll be very interested, won't you?"
The old man looked at Lin Xiaofei and said...
