That idiot from the Sword Sect turned out to be a lucky charm.

Chapter 129 Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm

Lin Zhifeng and his companions gained a great deal from their trip to the Dark Forest.

Because they specifically focused on collecting materials for the Divine Transformation Pill, when Lin Zhifeng returned to the sect and actually began refining the Divine Transformation Pill, he carefully counted the materials and found that he had gathered enough for twenty-one sets of Divine Transformation Pill materials.

After obtaining the prescription, Lin Zhifeng secluded himself to refine pills. Except for the first few doses which only produced one flawless pill at a time, subsequent doses produced three pills, with two of them always being flawless pills.

When the medicinal herbs were used up, Lin Zhifeng took stock of what he had obtained: forty-three flawless pills and twenty mid-grade pills.

Lin Zhifeng was very satisfied that none of the Nascent Soul Pills refined in the system's alchemy furnace this time were low-grade pills.

It should be noted that even a low-grade Nascent Soul Pill can sell for at least one million high-grade spirit stones. A mid-grade pill can fetch up to five million high-grade spirit stones per pill, while a flawless pill is always in high demand but short supply.

Because of their extreme rarity, the Flawless Pill is a hot commodity at major auctions in major cities, easily fetching tens of millions of high-grade spirit stones.

Lin Zhifeng now possesses so many Flawless Pills that, even after deducting the portion needed by his brothers, he still has eighteen left.

"I'm rich!" After roughly estimating the value of these Nascent Soul Pills in his mind, Lin Zhifeng murmured in a daze.

The system then spoke up to remind him: "Master, your cultivation level is currently low, and the higher-level items you can see are valued in spirit stones. In the future, when you refine the Void Refining Pill, its value will be exchanged for rare and precious materials."

After explaining, fearing that Lin Zhifeng might not have a clear idea, he thoughtfully gave an example: "For instance, the water spirit stones used to upgrade the Crane Cry Sword."

Having acquired two fine swords but lacking the materials to upgrade them, Lin Zhifeng, who had only recently obtained a water spirit stone, was now regretting for the nth time: Why did I overestimate myself and choose two spirit swords in the first place?

Didn't you see that the sect's elders and fellow disciples were struggling to make ends meet because of a single spirit sword?

Why do we ignore the bloody lessons right in front of us?

Lin Zhifeng shed tears of deep regret.

Seeing Lin Zhifeng's depressed expression, the system knew he had gone a bit too far with the stimulation, so it could only comfort him again, saying, "Don't worry, Master. With the lucky boost from the Koi System and the help of the Treasure-Hunting Rat and the Auxiliary Rat, you'll definitely have more adventures in the future. You'll be able to gather enough materials to upgrade the two spirit swords one day!"

Fortunately, Lin Zhifeng was easygoing; his sadness only lasted for a moment: what can be done now that things have come to this? We'll deal with it later, and save up little by little!

In any case, judging from the present moment, he has amassed a considerable fortune.

Lin Zhifeng plans to visit a larger city after breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm. Firstly, he can look for his sect leader father and at least find out about him. Secondly, he can search for medicinal materials for Refining Void Pills in pharmacies, shops, and auction houses in the big city. It would be best if he could also sell the remaining Nascent Soul Pills.

Now that the Nascent Soul Pill has been refined, if the closed-door cultivation goes smoothly, the matter of directly breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm should be arranged immediately.

Before going into seclusion, Lin Zhifeng had to deliver the Transformation Pills to his brothers and encourage them to cultivate diligently like he did.

When Lin Jun and the others received the Flawless Pill from Lin Zhifeng, they were overjoyed.

They only provided the materials and 500,000 high-grade spirit stones to obtain a flawless Nascent Soul Pill; they got a really good deal.

While expressing their gratitude, everyone felt a rare sense of guilt.

This... this time I really have no way to repay you!

Taking this opportunity, Lin Zhifeng persuaded everyone, "You all helped me collect materials and trust me so much. So when I get something good, I'll naturally give it to us brothers first! Besides, everyone's talent for cultivation is limited. If I don't get some good medicine, I'm afraid you'll fail to break through, right?"

Lin Jun and the others: "..." Although it's true, you didn't have to say it out loud!

Lin Zhifeng continued, "As for repaying, there's no need to mention it. Isn't it polite for us brothers to talk like this? If you really want to thank me, don't be lazy and cultivate like crazy. We'll go into seclusion together for the next few years. Once we break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, I'll take you to a bigger city for a visit, and I'll cover all the expenses."

Lin Jun and the others are all playful and adventurous. Whether they were doing missions or training together, they had fun and earned money at the same time. They cooperated very well and were extremely happy.

Now that they've heard about this wonderful opportunity, they've naturally agreed without hesitation.

After mobilizing his brothers, Lin Zhifeng went to report to the nine elders. The elders were very pleased to hear of his ambition. They each gave him some instructions, which Lin Zhifeng readily agreed to.

After entrusting his spirit pets to Qingfeng for care, Lin Zhifeng officially went into seclusion to attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Before going to the Eternal Night Forest, he was already at the late Nascent Soul stage. Now, with the help of the Divine Transformation Pill, breaking through to the Divine Transformation realm is a piece of cake.

Ten years later, Lin Zhifeng successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm. On the day he emerged from seclusion, he suffered another tribulation.

This tribulation lightning is much stronger than that of the Nascent Soul stage, both in terms of quantity and power, it is far superior to that of the Nascent Soul stage.

Fortunately, he's not the same person he used to be.

Having broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, the nascent soul has become a spirit, more solid and powerful. Given time, after cultivating to the mid-Nascent Soul stage, the nascent soul can break free of the body and join the battle as an avatar.

Even now, having just broken through to the next level, Lin Zhifeng's cultivation level has increased significantly compared to before. In addition, given his previous experience of being struck by lightning, he made ample preparations this time: his entire outfit was enhanced with defensive and agility-boosting materials, all to dodge lightning and withstand blows.

This tribulation of lightning consisted of eighty-one strikes. Although Lin Zhifeng dodged most of them, he was still struck by dozens of them.

Fortunately, thanks to the lucky charm system, the lightning that struck him wasn't very powerful, only causing him minor, painless injuries.

When the tribulation ended, Lin Zhifeng only lost a set of clothes and a healing pill, and he was quite pleased with himself!

As early as when Lin Zhifeng's tribulation clouds gathered, the nine elders of the Sword Sect all came to watch and help protect him.

Now that he has passed smoothly, the elders' worries have been put to rest, and they are now happy.

Even within the Sword Sect, a top-tier sect in the cultivation world, there aren't many disciples at the Nascent Soul stage. Lin Zhifeng's ability to break through to the Nascent Soul stage within a century, while slightly inferior to Ding Mo, is still considered quite impressive talent across the entire cultivation continent.

Seeing that the Sword Sect had successors brought great comfort to the nine elders who were managing the sect on behalf of the sect.

Lin Zhifeng broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm and came out of seclusion. He first learned about his own situation.

He was very satisfied after learning that everything was alright.

This little Qingfeng is really useful. I can leave the backyard to him and do whatever I want without worry. That's great!
