With this elixir, plus the Soul-Heart Pill the Crown Prince had given him at the Qionghua Banquet of the Great Luo Sect...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the two bottles of elixir combined, Li Fei had the opportunity to add another Dao Foundation realm martial artist to his ranks!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people who had come to visit him during this period were either sect masters or gang leaders, or at the very least, individuals with statuses like Supreme Elder or Grand Protector.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people, of course, did not come empty-handed, and they were all very generous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei also assessed the situation and chose to accept most of the gifts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had previously exhausted his purchasing quota for the next five years during his seclusion; although he had a significant quota every year after becoming a member of the Blue Patrol Pavilion, he was a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts, so the Blue Patrol Pavilion's quota might not even be enough for his own cultivation, let alone for cultivating subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the gifts received during this period solved Li Fei's urgent needs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Added together, these gifts were almost worth his entire annual purchasing quota as a Marquis!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was evident that accepting gifts was indeed a good way to accumulate wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing Zhang Chengjun off, Li Fei had just sat down to drink a cup of tea when the Marquis Mansion's steward hurried over again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei sighed: \"Who is here this time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, it is Supreme Elder Shen Zhen of the Nightmare Sect here to visit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The steward said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei was startled and immediately perked up, \"Invite True Person Shen in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The steward turned to go invite the guest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people who had come to visit Li Fei during this time had all submitted visiting cards in advance and only came after agreeing on a specific time with Li Fei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Zhen had not submitted a visiting card beforehand, yet she had suddenly arrived today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei had a rough guess in his heart and knew what the other party had come for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, Shen Zhen, wearing a white robe, a green bamboo jade hairpin in her hair, and a crescent-shaped jade pendant at her waist, with an elegant and ethereal temperament, stepped into the main hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Greetings, True Person Shen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei took the initiative to stand up and greet her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Greetings, Marquis of Jing'an.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Zhen bowed to Li Fei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True Person, please sit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the two sat down, servants soon brought tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please, have some tea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two began to drink tea, and the main hall was quiet for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Zhen did not speak first, and Li Fei was not in a hurry to speak either, simply accompanying the other party to slowly savor the tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The spectacle of the Marquis of Jing'an breaking through his realm that day was truly the only one I have ever seen in my life; it is admirable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Zhen set down her teacup and said softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei also set down his teacup and smiled: \"True Person Shen is too kind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Zhen: \"The Marquis follows the path of combining magic and martial arts; when you broke through your realm that day, I observed carefully, and it seems your natal magic treasure is somewhat unusual.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei's smile remained unchanged: \"It does indeed have some special aspects.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Zhen looked seriously into Li Fei's eyes, as if wanting to see something in them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After looking for a few seconds, she said word by word:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has the Marquis ever heard that my sect possesses a True One magic treasure named the Dream-Command Token?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei restrained his smile and nodded: \"I have heard of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Zhen said in a deep voice: \"This item is my sect's supreme treasure, but it was lost many years ago. If anyone can return this item, my sect will certainly offer a heavy reward; any condition can be discussed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had finally said it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, when it was determined that the person holding the Dream-Command Token was at the Great Luo Sect, the Nightmare Sect had conducted a series of secret investigations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They eventually locked their focus on Li Fei, who was also at the Great Luo Sect at the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason it had never been confirmed was because Li Fei had only revealed his martial arts realm and had not revealed his magic cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not until news of Li Fei's dual cultivation of magic and martial arts spread later that the Nightmare Sect finally locked onto him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before setting out, Nightmare Sect Master Ji Longyi had once said to Shen Zhen:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as you find the person holding the Dream-Command Token, spare no cost to snatch it back from them! Even if the other party is some True Person of the Great Luo Sect, it is the same!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when they discovered that the Dream-Command Token might be with Li Fei, the Nightmare Sect hesitated again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the Great Luo Sect, which had already fallen from its pedestal and was being severely sanctioned by the imperial court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, Li Fei had already been enfeoffed as a Marquis and had obtained the title of the greatest Dao Foundation realm cultivator in history; both his future in the imperial court and his future in cultivation made the Nightmare Sect even more wary!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the Nightmare Sect had never taken action, not wanting to easily make an enemy of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, just as the Nightmare Sect was struggling with how to ask for the return of their sect's supreme treasure, the Blue Patrol Pavilion referendum came, and so Shen Zhen came to Blue Ridge City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately following that were the events that occurred on March 1st.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that day, the Nightmare Sect stopped struggling entirely:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They abandoned the idea of using force to recover it and chose to use a benefit-exchange method to trade the Dream-Command Token back from Li Fei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the rhetoric Shen Zhen used was very cautious; she did not directly say that the Dream-Command Token was with Li Fei, but instead euphemistically said that if anyone was willing to return the item to the Nightmare Sect, the Nightmare Sect was willing to pay a price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left plenty of room for maneuver, ensuring that neither side would be embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, on the day Li Fei completed his \"Life-Bridge,\" the aura of the natal object he revealed was not the Dream-Command Token.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he publicly broke through his realm on the 1st, Shen Zhen confirmed once again that Li Fei had not refined the Dream-Command Token into his natal object.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she did not know why Li Fei would leave a True One magic treasure unused and choose to use another magic treasure as his natal object, this was undoubtedly great news for the Nightmare Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Li Fei refined the Dream-Command Token into his natal object, the two sides would move toward total hostility, with no possibility of peace talks whatsoever!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Shen Zhen's words, Li Fei also fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, after deciding to follow the path of \"Refining the Body as a Treasure,\" the Dream-Command Token was no longer a necessity for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not that he couldn't return it to the Nightmare Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to let Li Fei just return the item to its original owner like that, he asked himself if he didn't have such noble character yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it wasn't him who stole the item from the Nightmare Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one picks up a very valuable item on the side of the road and returns it to the owner, the other party still has to show some appreciation, let alone a True One magic treasure?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The levels of magic treasures can be simply divided into four grades: \"Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, the lowest Yellow-grade magic treasures are refined using lower-three-grade implants and are usually the magic treasures of Great Mages in the Possession stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, Li Fei's flying sword body, although it incorporated twelve types of implants, were all lower-three-grade, so before breaking through his realm, it could only be considered the lowest Yellow-grade magic treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Profound-grade above that refers to magic treasures that possess natal divine abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After condensing True Power and refining True Spirit, the divine ability of the natal magic treasure is formed, and it is promoted from Yellow-grade to Profound-grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the Profound-grade are the Earth-grade and Heaven-grade; these two grades are linked to the magic treasure's \"Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches system.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seventy-two Earthly Branches and thirty-six Heavenly Stems refer to seventy-two types of Earthly Branch-grade implants and thirty-six types of Heavenly Stem-grade implants, respectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These implants are all middle-three-grade magic-type implants, and like the foundation of martial arts, there are many different combination forms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once a full set of Earthly Fiend-grade implants is gathered and refined to perfection, the magic treasure can ascend from the Profound-grade to the Earth-grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this stage, the magic treasure can release an Earthly Fiend formation, similar to a martial artist’s martial Dao domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, a True Person who refines an Earth-grade magic treasure also ascends to become a top-tier True Person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next step is to gather a set of Heavenly Spirit-grade implants; once refined to perfection, the magic treasure ascends from Earth-grade to Heaven-grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, with the Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend sets complete, one is only a single step away from breaking through the realm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Further up, stepping into the True One realm and becoming a True Monarch, one's natal magic treasure transforms into a natal magic artifact, containing the laws of the Great Dao within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the complete path of ascension for the Art Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A True One magic artifact is what remains when a True Monarch's natal magic artifact falls in grade; it possesses the quality of a complete Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend set, and the over one hundred types of implants within all form a complete system!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, in terms of rarity, a True One magic artifact is actually even more precious than a Heaven-grade magic treasure!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wonder what kind of conditions your sect is willing to offer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Shen Zhen felt a surge of joy in her heart and hurriedly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That depends on what the other party needs; everything is negotiable!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, by saying this, she made it very easy for someone to make an exorbitant demand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the value of a True One magic artifact was there, and Li Fei's status and potential were also there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather than racking her brains to probe and play games, it was better to show sincerity directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before coming today, Shen Zhen had already prepared herself mentally to be gouged!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei looked at Shen Zhen's expression, fell silent for a moment, and then suddenly said seriously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you are so straightforward, True Person, I will be direct as well: the Dream-Seeking Order is indeed in my hands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Zhen was stunned upon hearing this; she had not expected Li Fei to be so direct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were in the past, Li Fei would not have directly exposed this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today, he already had the confidence to face many people and things!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Shen Zhen was so sincere, he was unwilling to make things difficult for the Nightmare Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To be honest, since this item is your sect's supreme treasure, it is only right that it be returned to its rightful owner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Marquis...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True Person Shen, please let me finish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please speak, Marquis.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Zhen had already begun using honorifics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei looked at her: \"I am not concerned with how this item was lost in the first place. The person who stole the Dream-Seeking Order is already dead, but he left behind a disciple, and that person is now my subordinate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Zhen immediately said: \"Rest assured, Marquis. Since that traitor is dead, as long as we can retrieve the Dream-Seeking Order, our sect will never pursue anyone else!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei looked into Shen Zhen's eyes and nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, I trust you, True Person Shen. As for the rest, I am currently cultivating arts myself, and I will have a greater need for mid-tier art-type implants in the future. I hope the Nightmare Sect can open a purchasing channel for me from now on, allowing me to buy a batch of cultivation resources from your sect every year.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already achieved the status of a True Person, and next, he needed to incorporate mid-tier implants into his body to strengthen his Flying Sword Body, so as to ascend to Earth-grade and Heaven-grade as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A set of Earthly Fiend-grade implants requires seventy-two types, and a set of Heavenly Spirit-grade implants requires thirty-six types.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is far more than the implants required for a Dao foundation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Martial Dao Masters also need to incorporate many mid-tier Martial Dao-type implants to seek the refinement of new divine abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei cultivates both law and martial arts, so his demand for implants is double or even more than that of others; he also has to cultivate his subordinates, so the more channels for cultivation resources, the better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anything else?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Zhen asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei: \"Nothing else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Zhen widened her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had already prepared herself to be hit with an exorbitant demand by Li Fei, but the condition the other party ultimately proposed was just this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be able to purchase a batch of cultivation resources from the Nightmare Sect every year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was to buy, not to demand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Li Fei did not specify a concrete quantity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Marquis is not joking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Zhen's voice was even trembling slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei smiled, then said seriously: \"This Marquis is being earnest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Zhen was already over a hundred years old this year; it was only because she had cultivated Daoist beauty-preserving arts that she appeared young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This hundred-year-old True Person, who had experienced great storms and waves, was, after all, a woman and more sentimental; at this moment, her eyes actually turned a bit red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning an item to its rightful owner seemed like a matter of course, but if one were to ask their own conscience:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one picked up an item worth ten or a hundred yuan, one could return it to the owner without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one picked up an item worth a billion or ten billion, and was fully capable of keeping it for oneself, how many people could reach the level of Li Fei?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a deep breath, stood up, and in her capacity as a contemporary True Person and Supreme Elder of the Nightmare Sect, she solemnly bowed to Li Fei:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"On behalf of the entire Nightmare Sect, Shen Zhen thanks the Marquis of Jing'an!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS: It's the end of the month, everyone, please clear out the monthly tickets you have on hand~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",3051,"2026-06-25T10:09:35.514Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","682c3c13234324d726e2eb8aeddd376c2e699877fa67a6201add123d9ad09ca1","this-martial-saint-has-too-much-hp-chapter-769","this-martial-saint-has-too-much-hp-chapter-767",895,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-martial-saint-has-too-much-hp-cover.jpg"]
