He opened a small cloth bag and glanced inside; there were nine small porcelain bottles.
"Mind-Concentrating Pill, Mind-Stabilizing Pill, Herb-Smelling Pill."
Nine small porcelain bottles, each perfectly sealed to prevent the medicinal effects of the pills from dissipating.
After looking at it, Lin Xiaofei took out a small porcelain bottle from the cloth bag and poured out a pill.
A calming pill!
The Mind-Concentrating Pill can increase mental strength, the Herb-Smelling Pill can enhance the sense of smell to identify the scent of herbs, and this Mind-Stabilizing Pill can eliminate distracting thoughts, thereby achieving concentration. At this moment, he prepared to cultivate for a while and try out the effects of the Mind-Stabilizing Pill.
A small, dark gray calming pill rests in the palm of my hand.
Soon, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Xiaofei immediately felt his mind stabilize. The slight sense of helplessness he had felt about cultivating the White Light Flame Technique was immediately banished from his mind.
Without hesitation, he opened his mouth, raised his hand, and swallowed the calming pill directly into his mouth.
Soon, his mind became more stable, and many of the distracting thoughts in his mind dissipated.
"This calming pill is truly a good thing."
Lin Xiaofei smiled slightly and quickly focused his attention on cultivation.
This time, he practiced the Phantom Fist.
Previously, he had seen the sect leader Chen Longhai use the Phantom Fist when fighting the demon snake. The technique was flexible and varied, and he could even apply the Phantom Fist to weapons, increasing the power of the weapons by 10%, which surprised him a little.
He gained a new understanding of Phantom Fist from this.
At this time, while practicing the Phantom Fist, he discovered something different from his usual practice.
After taking a calming pill, his mind became extremely focused and his thoughts became incredibly active. As he wielded the Phantom Fist, his understanding of the fist technique gradually deepened.
He seemed to have entered an indescribable state, and his understanding of the Phantom Fist gradually deepened.
As time went on, the movements of his Phantom Fist became more varied, with the Phantom Fist being thrown out continuously, one punch after another, until suddenly a powerful punch was thrown out.
In an instant, a deep, hollow sound emanated from the fist, as if it were carrying a gust of wind, and it rushed out.
Lin Xiaofei concentrated intently on practicing the Phantom Fist. He only stopped when the effects of the Mind-Stabilizing Pill in his body gradually weakened and were completely exhausted.
"The power of one calming pill allowed me to eliminate all distracting thoughts and concentrate my mind. It took me half an hour to use up the medicinal power. Its effect actually doubled my cultivation speed."
Lin Xiaofei felt the heat within his body gradually dissipate, and he made a slight analysis in his mind.
"Based on my experience of using herbs to accelerate cultivation, half an hour of cultivation is equivalent to consuming two one-year-old herbs."
The potency of this one calming pill is equivalent to that of two one-year-old medicinal herbs, which means it saves me the cost of two herbs.
Lin Xiaofei thought for a moment, a hint of excitement in his heart.
He originally thought that the calming pill was just an auxiliary medicine and might not have much effect, but he never expected it to have such an effect. Of course, the effect varies from person to person.
If the elder Wang Qingliang knew that taking the Mind-Stabilizing Pill could double his cultivation speed, he probably wouldn't believe it. After all, the elder had said that the Mind-Stabilizing Pill did have some effect on cultivation, but not as great as the effect Lin Xiaofei had when he took it.
"The calming pill is so effective, which should be related to my cultivation in this spatial bead. However, the price of this calming pill is too high. It seems a bit unfair of me to exchange it with Wang Qingliang by exchanging it with pills I refined myself."
Lin Xiaofei frowned and said softly.
A bottle contains three calming pills, costing forty-five taels of silver. Each pill provides half an hour of medicinal effect, doubling the speed of cultivation.
In other words, spending fifteen taels of silver in half an hour is an expense he estimates he couldn't afford even if he had 100,000 taels of silver.
After experiencing the effects of the calming pill, he became curious about the effects of the mind-calming pill and the herb-smelling pill.
After finishing his cultivation, he stepped out of the spatial bead and looked at the little black cat. He found that it could slowly crawl and walk, but its injured hind leg was still immobile, and it was still limping around.
He estimated that the little black cat would feel better after a few days of rest.
After thinking for a moment, he took out a healing pill and put it directly into the little black cat's mouth.
Soon, a faint light shimmered through the little black cat's fur, making it feel even cooler. Its injured hind leg had healed somewhat, and it was gradually able to walk again.
Lin Xiaofei played with the little black cat for a while before getting up, walking out of the room, and heading towards the East Courtyard of the Gang.
Walking along the corridor, there were many disciples nearby, whispering about the effects of eating the demon snake meat and the massacre of more than fifty martial artists from the Zhang Family Escort Agency by the Black Wind Stronghold.
"Brother Qin Hong, where are you going?"
Just as Lin Xiaofei stepped out of the inner disciples' living quarters, he saw Qin Hong walking quickly toward him and hurriedly asked.
"Brother Lin, I was just looking for you."
Qin Hong saw Lin Xiaofei and said with a smile.
"What do you want with me?"
Lin Xiaofei asked curiously.
"You know that more than fifty members of the Zhang family's escort team were massacred, right?"
Seeing Lin Xiaofei nod, Qin Hong continued:
Last night, Zhang Shuhu of the Zhang family went to the government office and obtained an order from the town mayor. This morning, he summoned the heads of the ten major families in Qingshan Town and the leader of our Qingfeng Gang, ordering all forces with considerable strength in Qingshan Town to cooperate with the government in capturing the bandits of Black Wind Village.
Once the bandits of Black Wind Stronghold are captured, there will be a large reward of silver.
Even finding a single ordinary bandit in Black Wind Stronghold will yield a reward of no less than twenty taels of silver. If it's a higher-ranking bandit, the reward will be even greater, regardless of life or death.
"After those Black Wind Stronghold bandits slaughtered the Zhang family, they've probably already returned to their stronghold. Are we supposed to go to Black Wind Stronghold to capture them? That's just courting death."
Lin Xiaofei frowned and quickly said.
Black Wind Stronghold was a powerful bandit stronghold, whose overall strength was no less than that of a branch of the Green Peak Gang or the government.
Over the years, although the government of Qingshan Town had fought against the bandits of Heifengzhai several times, the government had suffered losses most of the time and could not do anything to that group of vicious bandits.
Now, although Lin Xiaofei doesn't know why Zhang Shuhu was able to mobilize all the major forces in Qingshan Town to help, what use is it?
Once the bandits from Black Wind Stronghold return to their stronghold, it will be extremely difficult to deal with them.
"Hehe, you wouldn't know this, would you?"
The bandits from Black Wind Stronghold were incredibly audacious. Late last night, they sneaked into the town, intending to assassinate Zhang Shuhu. However, Zhang Shuhu possessed the strength of a third-rate martial artist and easily defeated the bandits. Nevertheless, some of them managed to escape and have already hidden themselves in the town.
Now, the Zhang family has obtained an order from the town mayor, leading people from various powerful factions within the town to search for bandits. They have already discovered some suspicious locations and captured several ordinary bandits.
As he spoke, Qin Hong glanced around, leaned close to Lin Xiaofei's ear, and whispered:
According to my master and the others, Zhang Shuhu, the second son of the Zhang family, had connections with the government of Xiagu County, which is why he was able to obtain orders from the town mayor. Therefore, the mayor cooperated with the Zhang family to capture the bandits hiding in the town.
