Chapter 369: Breaking Through in a Hundred Days

When in Ming Province, Li Fei had to return to Lanling City with the Imperial Preceptor Xiang Yunshu because he needed to guard against the Lu family and Xu Jing making a move on him.

At that time, although he had the reputation of being the first in history, he was still an Imperial Envoy.

But if he died, he died; it wouldn't cause any overly serious consequences.

But Li Fei today was different.

Marquis of Jing'an, Special Envoy of the Blue Patrol.

No matter which identity, dying would trigger a monstrous wave!

If the Lu family and Xu Jing wanted to kill him, unless they wanted to perish together, they could only use assassination methods, and they couldn't leave any handle behind.

And the True Persons, Martial Arts Masters, and Grandmasters of this world were all big shots with names and surnames whose backgrounds could be checked. Once they made a move, it was hard not to leave traces.

So if they wanted to assassinate Li Fei, they could only use Dao Foundation Realm martial artists or Possession Realm Great Mages.

Regarding this, Li Fei was not afraid in the slightest!

February 13th.

The train departing from Datong Prefecture entered Gan Province.

In the compartment, Li Fei and Xu Xiaotian sat cross-legged; Li Fei sat behind Xu Xiaotian, placing his hands on the other party's back.

Li Fei was currently probing his own Force into Xu Xiaotian's body, then using the "Method of Contemplating Freedom" to perceive the situation of the implant branches within the other party's body.

The "Method of Contemplating Freedom" was a Returning to One method recorded in the "Red Sound Fire Vajra Method" and was one of the top-tier Returning to One methods of the Buddhist school.

Li Fei had relied on this inheritance, plus the "Whole Body Method" of the Martial University, to create his own "Ten-Day Returning to One Method."

Although he couldn't teach his own method to Xu Xiaotian, he could use the "Method of Contemplating Freedom" to assist Xu Xiaotian in his cultivation.

A moment later, the two ended this cultivation session.

"Did you remember it all?"

Li Fei asked.

He had just used the "Method of Contemplating Freedom" to guide the other party in gathering the implant branches at some key points.

"Remembered, many thanks, Marquis!"

Xu Xiaotian stood up and bowed to Li Fei with a face full of gratitude.

Even his master, Ye Yu, couldn't give him such detailed and specific guidance because Ye Yu didn't have a top-tier inheritance like the "Method of Contemplating Freedom," nor did he have Li Fei's powerful perception ability.

If Li Fei could provide him with such guidance every day, he was confident he could complete "Returning to One" within a year!

Of course, he also knew that it was definitely impossible for someone like Li Fei to spend his time guiding him every day without cultivating himself.

But even if Li Fei only gave him guidance at some key points, he was confident he could break through to the Dao Foundation Realm within two years.

By then, he would only be 25 years old, a posture of a Heaven's Pride!

Li Fei looked at Xu Xiaotian, hesitated for a moment, and said:

"I have a special cultivation method, but it is very painful during the cultivation process, and there is a certain amount of danger. Are you willing to try it?"

Xu Xiaotian was startled and nodded without hesitation:

"Marquis, I am willing!"

"Good."

Li Fei had Xu Xiaotian sit cross-legged again, then had him use Force to simulate a portion of the "channels" of the implant branches.

That's right, this was the partial operation of his self-created "Ten-Day Returning to One Method."

Xu Xiaotian's intent power was also quite good, and he quickly controlled his Force to complete the simulation of this small section of the "channel."

After Xu Xiaotian finished, Li Fei began to use Force to dig out a portion of the flesh and blood inside the other party's body!

"Ugh!"

Xu Xiaotian immediately let out a muffled groan, his expression pained.

"Steady your mind, do not let the simulated channel change!"

Li Fei said in a deep voice.

This was one of the difficult points of his cultivation method.

Others didn't have the Ten Thousand Blood Bead to share the damage and pain, so they had to maintain precise control over their Force while enduring extreme pain.

This difficulty was very high; it could not be achieved without great perseverance!

And this was only just the beginning.

Li Fei dug out this portion of flesh and blood from Xu Xiaotian's body bit by bit.

He was also extremely cautious during this process because the other party didn't have the Ten Thousand Blood Bead, and his vitality wasn't as strong as his own; many methods he could use directly on himself couldn't be used on Xu Xiaotian.

Fortunately, Li Fei already had four experiences of Returning to One and could already write a book titled "Human Anatomy and Implant Branch Structure."

So, relying on his rich experience, Li Fei successfully completed this step.

"Control this part of the implant to gather."

He said to Xu Xiaotian.

Xu Xiaotian was bloodless at this time, sweating profusely from the pain!

He used his extremely strong willpower to keep his Force from becoming chaotic, then began to gather the implant branches bit by bit.

More than an hour later, Xu Xiaotian completed the gathering of this portion of the implant branches.

If following the normal Returning to One method, he would have needed at least three days to complete the gathering work for this part!

However, this was still not over.

Li Fei had the Ten Thousand Blood Bead, so no matter how serious the injury, he could recover within 10 days.

For this injury in Xu Xiaotian's body, he only needed less than an hour to recover.

But Xu Xiaotian couldn't.

He needed to recuperate for at least several days before the lost flesh and blood could grow back.

But it was impossible for him to maintain the "channel" with Force for several consecutive days.

Li Fei took out the elixir he had prepared in advance and handed it to Xu Xiaotian: "Take one."

Thus, Xu Xiaotian took an elixir.

More than an hour later, the injury in Xu Xiaotian's body had healed.

The elixir Li Fei took out was a top-tier healing elixir that only a Marquis could purchase; it belonged to the imperial court's special supply, and its effect was excellent.

With this, Xu Xiaotian could be considered to have completed this cultivation session.

Li Fei also verified his own idea:

Having strong willpower, good talent, plus his own assistance, and finally, top-tier healing elixirs.

Only in this way could one cultivate a weakened version of the "Ten-Day Returning to One Method," which, if calculated by progress, could be called the "Hundred-Day Returning to One Method."

Depending on individual willpower and talent, using this method, one could complete Returning to One in about one hundred to three hundred days!

And in this world, only Li Fei could assist others in cultivating this "Hundred-Day Returning to One Method."

It wasn't because Li Fei's intent power or the martial arts he mastered were unique, but because Li Fei's experience was unique.

In this world, only he had the experience of "dissecting" himself in the most violent way to gather implant branches, and not just once.

If someone else without experience did this, the safety factor would be very low, and it would be easy to get the person killed.

"Go back and rest well, we will continue tomorrow."

Li Fei said to Xu Xiaotian.

The other party's Force and intent power were almost exhausted.

Upon hearing that they could continue tomorrow, Xu Xiaotian was both pained and happy; after thanking Li Fei, he exited the compartment.

"In the future, I can specifically recruit martial artists with strong willpower and good talent. As long as I am willing to spend time and resources, there will be opportunities to quickly cultivate Dao Foundation Realm experts!"

Li Fei thought somewhat excitedly.

But upon second thought, martial artists with strong willpower and good talent were rare, and the standard of "good talent" referred to being able to break through to the Dao Foundation Realm.

It didn't mean Li Fei could cultivate any random martial artist into the Dao Foundation Realm.

What Li Fei could truly do was allow this portion of martial artists, who could originally become Dao Foundation Realm experts, to break through realms at a faster speed.

Of course, this was already attractive enough!

In the compartment, Li Fei collected his thoughts and began his own cultivation.

February 15th.

Gan Province Provincial Capital.

The Red Sleeve Restaurant was the most famous restaurant in the provincial capital now because from the proprietress down to the serving maids, everyone was a beauty!

Such a place naturally easily attracted trouble.

But the Red Sleeve Restaurant had been open for more than three years since the day it opened.

Any young master who caused trouble in this restaurant eventually came back sheepishly to apologize publicly.

Thus, everyone knew that this restaurant had a deep background, which made the restaurant even more famous.

Today, the fifth floor of the Red Sleeve Restaurant was booked by someone.

The person who booked the floor was named Su Yifei, the only son of the Gan Province Inspector Su Xuesong.

This Young Master Su was naturally a top-tier playboy in the entire Gan Province; if one said that even he couldn't afford to offend the Red Sleeve Restaurant, others definitely wouldn't believe it.

But this Young Master Su not only never caused trouble in the restaurant, but often brought people to support it, booking an entire floor at every turn!

"Young Master Su, I heard that the Marquis of Jing'an, Li Fei, arrived in our provincial capital today. Did Lord Su go to the station to welcome him?"

At a table by the window on the fifth floor, a man asked Su Yifei.

Hearing the name Li Fei, Su Yifei seemed somewhat unhappy and sneered:

"No matter how capable Li Fei is, he hasn't reached the point where my father needs to go welcome him in person."

The people at the table saw Su Yifei's unhappiness and echoed him one after another.

The group chatted about other things, all of which were romantic affairs.

"Speaking of which, Li Fei is now ranked third on the overall Wind and Cloud List. After the news of him heavily wounding the True Person's flying sword was confirmed, many people in the Jianghu are saying his ranking is too low. It just so happens that Miss Shentu is in our provincial capital; do you think Li Fei will take the initiative to challenge Miss Shentu this time?"

Someone suddenly brought up Li Fei again, but this time it was about Jianghu matters.

Gan Province also didn't have a university, but it had a top-tier martial arts sect—the Red Dust Pavilion!

"One Pavilion, One Tower, Three Mountains, Four Sects, Seven Great Families," the "One Pavilion" referred to the Red Dust Pavilion, and the current Pavilion Master was one of the "Seven Martial Saints."

The Red Dust Pavilion was located outside the provincial capital of Gan Province, and the current Pavilion Master's closing disciple, Shentu Yue, was also a peerless genius famous in the Jianghu, 25 years old this year, ranked second on the overall Wind and Cloud List.

"Li Fei indeed might challenge Miss Shentu; after all, he has fought with Fairy Ruoyun before."

"Who do you think will win?"

"As a native of Gan Province, I naturally support Miss Shentu."

"Eh, but I think Li Fei has a better chance of winning."

"Young Master Su, who do you think will win?"

Everyone looked at Su Yifei one after another.

Su Yifei picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and said viciously:

"Li Fei is already a Marquis, yet he still fights and kills like a Jianghu person. What kind of decorum is that?"

"..."

This remark instantly silenced the room.

Everyone looked at each other.

Some people exchanged glances, understanding in their hearts.

On the floor above where everyone was eating, which was the highest floor of the Red Sleeve Restaurant.

A beautiful woman with a graceful and luxurious temperament was applying makeup in front of a mirror.

She was the proprietress of the Red Sleeve Restaurant and was indeed a top-tier beauty.

She looked at the woman wearing a veil behind her through the mirror and asked softly:

"I heard the Marquis of Jing'an has come to our place. Will you two fight?"
