Immortality Starts With Diligence(Xianxia Litrpg)

77. Chief Disciple

Five days later, Lin Fei returned to the Nine Profound Sect, looking exhausted. Once he was back at the sect, he finally felt relaxed and could focus on his martial arts practice.

"System," he called out, immediately accessing the system panel to check his progress in martial arts.

Host: Lin Fei

Martial Arts Realm: Acquired Fourth Level

Three Vitality Technique: Fourth Level (2% progress)

Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist: Perfection (11% progress)

Triple Wave Technique: Mastery (89% progress)

Leaping Technique: Mastery (87% progress)

Nine Shadow Saber Technique: Perfection (43% progress)

Saber-drawing Technique: Transcendence (15% progress)

Flowing Clothes Skill: Transcendence (0% progress)

Lin Fei had already reached the Acquired Fourth Level and was currently trying to break through the Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian.

Previously, the Three Vitality Technique could increase its cultivation progress by 3% every day. However, since he broke through to the Acquired Fourth Level and started to open the Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian, its progress slowed down, and it could only increase the cultivation progress by 2% every day.

Lin Fei had tried various methods to try to inspire it but to no avail. Three Vitality Technique was stable and had a very calm character, seeming uninterested in anything he did. This left Lin Fei feeling quite helpless.

Fortunately, the Three Vitality Technique was still making progress every day, so he let it be. Besides, Lin Fei was more concerned about the Saber-drawing Technique, which was quite remarkable. It had only taken him five days to increase the practice progress by 5% after returning to the Nine Profound Sect.

At this rate, if he could continue to progress by 1% every day, it would take him around 100 days to reach perfection. Lin Fei found that the Saber-drawing Technique was relatively easy to practice and didn't seem to have any bottlenecks, unlike other techniques that found it challenging to master, let alone reach transcendence or perfection. However, Lin Fei had already reached transcendence and was confident that he would achieve perfection in no time.

Lin Fei carefully recalled the Saber-drawing Technique.

This Saber-drawing Technique was divided into two parts, Saber-nurturing and Saber-drawing.

Lin Fei practiced the Saber-nurturing technique every day, and his inner power was constantly being generated, making his inner power almost inexhaustible. Therefore, one day of nurturing his saber was equivalent to half a month for others.

With this in mind, it made sense to increase his cultivation progress by 1% every day.

"Junior Brother Lin, the Sect Master is looking for you," suddenly a voice sounded outside Lin Fei's door.

Lin Fei opened the door and saw an acquired-realm senior brother.

"What's the matter, Senior Brother? Why did the Sect Master summon me?" Lin Fei asked.

"I'm not sure. You'll find out when you go," the senior brother replied.

Lin Fei nodded and went to the Nine Profound Sect's main hall with some doubts.

There was only the Sect Master in the main hall, and his eyes lit up when he saw Lin Fei. He smiled and said, "Lin Fei, you have made a great name for yourself in Chang City in just a short time.

Everyone in Chang City knew that Nine Profound Sect has a top-notch genius disciple who, at the acquired third level realm, killed two acquired seventh level martial artists."

Lin Fei was a little surprised and respectfully said, "Junior Sister Ling had helped me, and with the Saber-drawing Technique, I was lucky enough to kill two acquired seventh level martial artists."

"Being able to nurture your saber for many days and kill acquired-level martial artists is not just luck," the Sect Master said. "Moreover, you have brought glory to the Nine Profound Sect, which is not a bad thing. And, I have a task for you."

"A task?" Lin Fei's heart sank as he spoke in a deep voice, "Please give me your orders, Sect Master."

Lin Fei was very clear that when he entered the inner sect, he learned about the obligation of inner disciples to accept tasks assigned by the sect.

"Lin Fei, don't be nervous," the Sect Master said. "You have only used the Saber-drawing Technique once, and you have only been nurturing your saber for a few days, so the power is not very strong. The task I am giving you is within your capabilities.

Haizhou City is near the sea and is the only seaside city within the Nine Profound Sect's sphere of influence. Some resources and businesses coming from the sea are quite important to our Nine Profound Sect.

However, recently, a group of pirates has been raiding villages near Haizhou City. Because of this, I am afraid something might happen to Haizhou City, so I am sending a group of disciples there.

Most of the pirates are at the Body Refining realm, with a few at the acquired realm, but they are all below acquired fourth level. Even if there are a few with acquired fifth or sixth level, it's not a big deal.

Normally, I would send an acquired seventh level disciple for this task, but recently, there has been some friction between Nine Profound Sect and Autumn Haze Mountain.

Our acquired seventh level disciples are focusing on Autumn Haze Mountain. If we send an acquired sixth level martial artist and something unexpected happens, Haizhou City will be in trouble, and that would be a big problem.

So, you lead a team of disciples to Haizhou City and wipe out those pirates," said the Sect Master.

Lin Fei understood what he meant. He was to lead a team to Haizhou City and deal with the pirates there, who were not very strong. The strongest among them was only at the acquired realm fifth or sixth level, but that was compared with the Nine Profound Sect. They were a big threat to Haizhou City.

"I obey your command, Sect Master, and will go to Haizhou City to eliminate the pirates," said Lin Fei respectfully.

"Very well. Rest for a day and come to the main hall tomorrow morning. I will send a team of disciples to go with you," said the Sect Master.

"Yes, Sect Master!" Lin Fei retreated.

Watching Lin Fei's departing figure, the Sect Master sighed, "Elder Zhao truly has good judgment, recognizing Lin Fei's martial arts heart. His future achievements will be boundless.

If he can already slay Acquired Seventh Level experts with his saber now, won't he be invincible in the future? It seems that our Nine Profound Sect will surely gain another Innate expert in the future!"

...

The next day, Lin Fei arrived at the great hall early in the morning. Some inner sect disciples had already gathered in the hall, standing quietly.

Lin Fei waited for another half hour before the Sect Master finally arrived.

The Sect Master glanced at the disciples in the hall and nodded, "You all know about the sect mission. Your journey to Haizhou City is to eliminate the pirates.

Among you are Acquired Fourth Level, Fifth Level, and even Sixth Level martial artists. With so many people, there must be a leader to handle all affairs in Haizhou City.

Lin Fei, I appoint you as the Chief Disciple of Haizhou City. You will be responsible for all matters in Haizhou City. All Nine Profound Sect disciples in Haizhou City must obey your command."

"Swish."

Everyone's gaze turned to Lin Fei, filled with confusion, astonishment, and bewilderment. Almost all the disciples didn't understand the reason for the Sect Master appointing Lin Fei as the "Chief Disciple."

Being the "Chief" meant being the leader among the dispatched disciples. Everyone must obey the orders of the Chief Disciple.

"Lin Fei slew two Acquired Seventh Level martial artists in Chang City. Why haven't you paid your respects yet?" The Sect Master's voice carried authority.

The hearts of the disciples trembled.

Slaying Acquired Seventh Level martial artists, and two at that!

The Sect Master's words couldn't be wrong. As a result, many disciples respectfully saluted and shouted, "Greetings, Senior Brother Lin!"

"I hope that we can all work together to eliminate the pirates!" Lin Fei kept it brief.

With a simple statement, he bid farewell to the Sect Master and led the group of Nine Profound Sect inner disciples, marched down the mountain in a grand manner, heading towards Haizhou City.
