Chapter 435: Mixed Heaven Golden Palace, No Distance Between Heaven and Earth

"True Person Shen, you don't have to be polite."

Li Fei stood up and supported Shen Zhen, not letting the other party really bow down:

"This matter is actually me taking advantage; I should be the one thanking you."

After Shen Zhen stood up, she looked at Li Fei and said sincerely:

"Within the next five years, my Nightmare Sect can provide the Marquis with up to 30% of our quota every year, and it will be maintained at at least 10% thereafter!"

Li Fei was overjoyed when he heard this.

Cultivation in this world is inseparable from various resources, and the vast majority of resources are monopolized.

Li Fei is not short of money now.

After taking down the entire Jianghu of Datong Prefecture and establishing the Feixin Trading Firm, the annual profit of the forces under his command is not small.

What Li Fei is truly short of is the channel to purchase resources.

Although he also has exotic beast farms and exotic beast food plantations obtained from the "Beast King," which can be traded with other forces.

But he still can't achieve self-sufficiency.

Just in terms of implants, the exotic beast farms in Li Fei's hands mainly raise lower-three-grade exotic beasts, and the middle-three-grade exotic beasts add up to no more than ten, which is simply not enough.

And besides implants, cultivation also requires cultivation techniques, elixirs, various spell-casting materials, and so on.

These things circulate very, very little in the market, and even if they do, the prices are very expensive.

The vast majority of Jianghu loose cultivators work hard for several years, more than ten years, and finally manage to save enough money to buy the cultivation techniques, implants, or elixirs they want, only to find that the things have already been sold out or the prices have risen.

This is the current situation in the cultivation world.

The imperial court possesses the most exotic beast farms and elixir planting bases in the world, as well as the most cultivation techniques in the world.

Besides that, those that can be "self-sufficient" to a certain extent are basically the major top-tier forces.

These sects and families have been passed down for over a hundred years, raising their own exotic beasts, planting their own, and refining elixirs, which can ensure that the implants, elixirs, and refining materials needed for the few Dao Foundations or magic treasures they hold can be fully supplied.

Although the Nightmare Sect is not a top-tier force, its own strength is one of the best in the entire Qing Province; otherwise, Shen Zhen wouldn't have been elected as a Lanxun Pavilion councilor. In addition, because of the special nature of its own sorcery, the Nightmare Sect has friendships with many sects and families.

So the Nightmare Sect's resource channels are not much worse than those of top-tier forces.

Shen Zhen's promise that she can sell 30% of her own resources to Li Fei every year for the next five years can be said to be very sincere!

Even if the Nightmare Sect has a surplus of resources every year, it won't exceed 10%. Taking out 30% of the resources is to be willing to reduce its own expenses and slow down the cultivation of sect disciples to support Li Fei!

The Nightmare Sect's 30% of resources is much more than a Marquis's annual quota.

As for the transaction price, neither side talked about it, and there's no need to talk about it.

At this point, money is no longer a problem.

"Thank you, True Person Shen."

Li Fei bowed to Shen Zhen to thank her.

"It is the Nightmare Sect that owes the Marquis a favor."

Shen Zhen said seriously, "If the Marquis has any orders in the future, feel free to speak!"

This promise carries more weight than the 30% quota every year!

Setting aside the strength of the Nightmare Sect itself, its connections can probably rank in the top three among all forces!

Now these connections can all be used by Li Fei.

Li Fei thanked her again and invited the other party to sit down again.

He could have asked for an exorbitant price and made an excessive request to the Nightmare Sect to make a big profit.

But in that case, the relationship between the two sides would be a one-off deal, not a friendship, and might even leave behind grudges.

Now it's like this.

Li Fei got the resource quota he needed most and also earned a favor, which will be an extra help in the future.

The Nightmare Sect got back the sect's treasure and also took this opportunity to establish a friendship with Li Fei.

Both sides are happy.

"However, the Dream Order cannot be given to you immediately; I still have some things to deal with."

Li Fei said to Shen Zhen.

Shen Zhen thought Li Fei was referring to the resources and immediately said:

"Of course, after I go back, I will let the sect draft a list and transfer it to the Marquis. The list will contain the number of resources my Nightmare Sect masters every year, and the Marquis can choose what you want from the list and calculate it into the 30% quota."

Li Fei knew Shen Zhen had misunderstood.

He didn't want to finalize the resource quota first before giving the Dream Order, but because there was a "Grandpa" living inside the Dream Order.

A portion of the true spirit of the natal magic treasure of True Person Qingding remained, and finally moved into the Dream Order.

The most suitable place for the true spirit of a natal magic treasure to "live" is, of course, also a natal magic treasure.

It's just that all other natal magic treasures in the world have owners, and only the True One magic treasure is an "empty house without an owner."

Now that Li Fei is going to return the Dream Order to the Nightmare Sect, he naturally has to change a "house" for True Person Qingding.

And he himself has a "ready-made house," which is his own Flying Sword Body.

His own true spirit is the owner of the house, and True Person Qingding can be counted as a tenant.

As long as the owner doesn't drive the tenant away, the tenant can live steadily.

But "moving" also requires a process, so Li Fei still needs a little time to prepare.

However, he didn't explain too much, smiled and chatted with Shen Zhen for a few more words, and suddenly said:

"Is it convenient for True Person Shen to do me a favor?"

Shen Zhen: "Marquis, please speak."

Li Fei: "I want to fight someone in an illusion, and I would like to ask True Person Shen to cast a spell to increase the upper limit and realism of the illusion."

Shen Zhen smiled: "A small effort, Marquis, feel free to do it."

This kind of thing is indeed "daily business" for the Nightmare Sect, but there are very few people who can invite her, this Supreme Elder, to take action personally, and the price is not cheap.

Now, Shen Zhen is naturally helping for free, and she is very happy to help.

So the two stood up and walked toward the backyard.

Li Fei called Lu Wenxing and Xu Xiaotian, two Dao Foundation stage martial artists, to guard outside, and he and Shen Zhen walked into the secret room.

"I only provide true power and basic sorcery, and the specific content of the illusion is handled by the Marquis himself?"

Shen Zhen asked.

This mode is the most common, because the illusion might involve personal privacy, sect martial arts secrets, etc., so usually, people from the Nightmare Sect only help build the basic part of the illusion and provide "energy," while other specific content is constructed by the person entering the illusion.

In order to avoid being spied on, they will also set a vow spell with the Nightmare Sect people in advance.

Li Fei himself knows the Nightmare Sect's sorcery, and since he is already a True Person himself, he is not worried about being spied on by Shen Zhen, so there is no need to set a vow.

He nodded to Shen Zhen: "That's right, sorry to trouble you, True Person."

Shen Zhen: "Marquis is too polite, please proceed."

So Li Fei injected his true power into the Dream Order in his arms and then cast a spell.

Sensing the aura of the Dream Order, Shen Zhen's expression changed slightly, a little excited.

At this time, Li Fei was distracted by constructing the illusion and was so close to her. If she took action, she would have a great chance of snatching the Dream Order back.

However, she didn't make any moves, just injected her own true power into the illusion Li Fei was constructing.

Soon, Li Fei appeared on a huge white jade square.

The square was filled with thick fog, and the mountain wind was howling.

This was none other than the Cloud Sea Terrace of the Daluo Sect!

As Li Fei continuously invested true power and cast spells, a human figure gradually manifested in front.

Wearing a Daoist robe, carrying a long sword on his back, with a beard fluttering, and a solemn expression, it was none other than the Martial Dao Grandmaster of the Daluo Sect, Qingxie.

Although Shen Zhen didn't intentionally spy on the illusion Li Fei was constructing, her cultivation was there after all, and in terms of her understanding and attainments of the Nightmare Sect's sorcery, she was far above Li Fei.

So when Li Fei constructed Qingxie, she immediately sensed it and guessed who Li Fei was constructing in the illusion.

This made her heart move.

Back then in the Nightmare Realm, in order to determine Li Fei's identity, she chased Li Fei all the way.

In the end, in order not to expose his identity and get rid of her tracking, Li Fei risked entering the subconscious world of Master Qingxie.

She followed closely behind and went in.

The two of them wandered through Master Qingxie's subconscious world and finally left without any danger, and both gained something and had an understanding of Qingxie's Martial Dao.

At this time, Li Fei constructed Qingxie in the illusion, and Shen Zhen could make Qingxie in the illusion more realistic!

This is the reason why Li Fei asked Shen Zhen for help.

Although he is already a True Person, he doesn't practice or study the Nightmare Sect's sorcery much. With the help of Shen Zhen, who has been to Master Qingxie's subconscious world just like him, plus the information provided by True Person Qingding, he has the confidence to restore Qingxie as realistically as possible in the illusion.

Before breaking through his realm, Li Fei used the cultivation of four implants to simulate Qingxie in the illusion and fight with the other party.

The result was a complete defeat every time.

Qingxie is a Martial Dao Grandmaster with three supernatural powers and is the Martial Dao Grandmaster with the strongest sword technique in the Daluo Sect; his Dao strength cultivation reached the peak of Xuanjing!

His true combat power far exceeds that of You Ming, whom Li Fei encountered in the Tomb of Heavenly Water, and even many Martial Dao Grandmasters with four supernatural powers are no match for Qingxie!

So before breaking through his realm, Li Fei couldn't beat the other party in the illusion.

Now that he has completed the breakthrough and completed the unity of law and martial arts, with the realm of a Martial Dao Grandmaster and a True Person, he intends to challenge Qingxie again.

Although he blocked a full-strength blow from a True Person on the 1st, Li Fei didn't underestimate the heroes of the world because of this.

The key point that he could block that blow from Qiming was that the Ten Thousand Blood Bead was temporarily upgraded, restoring all the blood souls.

This is the same as when he killed You Ming, also relying on the Ten Thousand Blood Bead's temporary upgrade.

But the Ten Thousand Blood Bead is now at level 41, and the further it goes, the greater the energy value required for upgrading.

So things like on-the-spot upgrades during battle will be very difficult to reproduce in the future.

Moreover, the energy quality of a Martial Dao Grandmaster's attack is far inferior to that of a True Person; even if all the blood souls currently on Li Fei are consumed, the Martial Dao Grandmaster's attack cannot make the current Ten Thousand Blood Bead upgrade another level.

Under these circumstances, Li Fei certainly wouldn't arrogantly think that there is no one below the peak powerhouse who can kill him.

However, he doesn't belittle himself either.

Just entering the realm of a Martial Dao Grandmaster and a True Person, he intends to challenge Qingxie, who also belongs to the top level among Martial Dao Grandmasters, to weigh his own "position."

A moment later, Qingxie in the illusion took shape completely.

This time with Shen Zhen's help, Li Fei intentionally adjusted the "strength" of Qingxie upward a bit.

In this way, even if the Qingxie in the illusion is not as good as the main body in on-the-spot adaptability, the combat power displayed shouldn't be much worse than the main body.

Next, it's Li Fei's turn to set his own "strength."

After breaking through his realm, 【Mixed Element Heaven Gold】 was practiced, the Flying Sword Body was improved, and the physique was significantly enhanced again, increasing by more than 600 blood souls at once!

【Ten Thousand Blood Bead

Level: Level 41 11%

Blood Souls: 3765

Blood Soul Skills: Blood Rage (Extreme), Blood Sha (Extreme), Blood Might (Extreme), Blood Spring (Extreme), Blood Breath (Extreme)

Transformation Skill: Blood Demon (Strong)】

This is Li Fei's current "panel"!

When the total number of blood souls in the Ten Thousand Blood Bead exceeded 1500, Li Fei obtained an opportunity to strengthen a blood soul skill, but he didn't rush to use it at the time.

Later, when the total number of blood souls exceeded 2000, exceeded 2500, and exceeded 3000, he obtained an opportunity to strengthen a blood soul skill each time.

Adding them together, there were 4 strengthening opportunities in total, and Li Fei strengthened the remaining 【Blood Rage】, 【Blood Sha】, 【Blood Might】, and 【Blood Spring】—these four blood soul skills—to the limit!

When the total number of blood souls exceeded 3500, Li Fei didn't obtain a new strengthening opportunity.

He expects that he will have to wait until the total number exceeds 4000 or higher before he can strengthen the transformation skill 【Blood Demon】.

After 【Blood Spring】 is strengthened to the limit, the daily recovery amount increases from 2% to 3%, and the maximum storage limit remains 3000 blood souls.

So Li Fei set his own "blood volume" in the illusion to 6765.

All other "data" are extremely close to his own true situation.

After setting everything up, this battle began:

Li Fei didn't rush to make a move; his whole body suddenly erupted with brilliant golden light.

Unlike the golden light when entering the sword state, the golden light at this time was less sharp and more noble.

At the same time, a golden symbol appeared on his forehead, looking like a ball of fire, with many cloud patterns.

Boom—

The sound of giant mountains moving between heaven and earth sounded.

Behind Li Fei, the Gate of Heaven and Earth opened, and a large amount of Five Elements Yuan Qi poured into his body like a flood!

At this moment, he was like an immortal living in an immortal palace, passing through the Gate of Heaven and Earth and descending into the mortal world.

This is the supernatural power—【Mixed Heaven Golden Palace】!

The Dao Foundation 【Mixed Element Heaven Gold】 was built, and the supernatural power appeared on its own.

This is the first supernatural power Li Fei obtained in Martial Dao—【Mixed Heaven Golden Palace】.

After this supernatural power is used, it forms the "Mixed Element Heaven Gold Body." Although it is not as absolute as the 【Indestructible】 supernatural power in defense, it also possesses top-tier defensive power.

Besides that, after opening the supernatural power, it can quickly absorb the Five Elements Yuan Qi from the outside world to maintain and repair the "Mixed Element Heaven Gold Body" and restore one's own force.

Once the Dao Foundation is formed, Martial Dao Grandmasters all possess the ability to absorb Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi from the outside world, but Dao Foundations of different attributes can only absorb the corresponding attributes of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi.

For example, 【Mixed Element Heaven Gold】 is a metal-attribute Dao Foundation and can only absorb metal-attribute Yuan Qi into the body.

And after 【Mixed Heaven Golden Palace】 is opened, it can absorb Five Elements Yuan Qi at the same time, and the speed is extremely fast, with a recovery speed more than five times that of the normal state!

Besides that, a large amount of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi can also be used for attack.

Therefore, 【Mixed Heaven Golden Palace】 is a comprehensive supernatural power that integrates attack, defense, healing, and recovery!

After opening 【Mixed Heaven Golden Palace】, Li Fei stepped forward and rushed toward Qingxie.

Without seeing Qingxie make any moves, countless sword qi were generated out of thin air, turning into a curtain of swords blocking between the two.

These sword qi were all scarlet, carrying a monstrous bloody smell and killing intent, as if they had been soaked in a pool of blood for a hundred years!

Li Fei rushed straight up against this curtain of swords, and the sword state 【Heaven and Earth Unrestrained】 was activated, passing through the "gaps" between countless sword qi.

Qingxie still didn't draw his sword, just moved his mind, and those "gaps" disappeared, leaving Li Fei with no choice but to break through by force.

But the next instant, Li Fei disappeared from where he was.

When he appeared again, he had already arrived behind Qingxie!

There was no passage in between, no traces were left, and the sword qi that Qingxie had struck out still existed.

This is the supernatural power—【No Distance】!

The Flying Sword Body was promoted to Earth-grade, and after Li Fei was promoted to a True Person, he also obtained a supernatural power, which is 【No Distance】.

This supernatural power can be called teleportation!
