246. Century Flood Dragon

Inside the cave dwelling of the Ancient Origin Sect, Lin Fei was awarded a whopping 30,000 contribution points. According to Wind Sovereign, the sect usually only gave out 20,000 contribution points. However, considering Lin Fei's exceptional talents, deeming him a potential Martial Sovereign, an additional 10,000 points were added.

But at this moment, Lin Fei wasn't concerned about the contribution points. He was awaiting something else. During the battle, he had barely noticed a notification from the system in his mind. There was one notification: his Holy Spirit Saber Technique had experienced an epiphany due to his audacity to challenge a Martial Sovereign. And this epiphany hadn't yet concluded.

This epiphany seemed more extended than usual. Unlike the Flame Burning Heaven Saber and Rainbow Transformation Saber Technique, the Holy Spirit Saber Technique seemed to grow stronger against more potent foes and thrived in situations where it was the underdog.

In the heat of the battle, Lin Fei had merged three saber strokes into one and aimed it at the Worry-free Sovereign. This led the Holy Spirit Saber Technique into its profound epiphany.

"Your Holy Spirit Saber Technique's epiphany has concluded, and it has successfully grasped the 'Holy Realm'. Your Holy Spirit Saber Technique has now reached perfection!"

Boomed the system's voice in Lin Fei's mind. A sudden surge of memories flooded his consciousness—these were insights into the perfected Holy Spirit Saber Technique.

Swiftly, Lin Fei integrated this newfound knowledge, mastering the perfected state of the Holy Spirit Saber Technique. The power of this Martial Saint-level saber technique was beyond Lin Fei's imagination. Once perfected, it was immensely formidable.

With the Holy Spirit Saber Technique in its perfected state, Lin Fei could instantly immerse himself in the "Holy Realm". The might of his saber strokes under this realm would be tremendously amplified. When combined with his triple saber merge, its power would see an exponential increase.

"For the first time, my saber technique has progressed directly from mastery to perfection," Lin Fei mused a gleam of realization in his eyes.

However, he was well aware that this was an exception—a very special situation, something serendipitous. Encountering a Martial Sovereign as a Martial Saint was rare, let alone challenging. Though Lin Fei didn't directly challenge the Martial Sovereign, his triple merged saber stroke had genuinely struck the Sovereign. Hence, the significant improvement in his Holy Spirit Saber Technique.

Not only did his Holy Spirit Saber Technique see such an upgrade, but his Flame Burning Heaven Saber and Rainbow Transformation Saber Technique also experienced growth. But back then, with his focus wholly on the Worry-free Sovereign, Lin Fei had ignored the system's notifications.

"System," Lin Fei muttered, invoking the system's interface to inspect his current martial arts status.

With his current wealth, Lin Fei considered visiting the Treasure Exchange Pavilion. While he could hunt exotic beasts in the sea, he no longer needed ordinary ones. He required beasts on par with Limit Martial Saints. Even in the vast seas, encountering such beasts was rare. Venturing deeper would only increase the risk of encountering beasts equivalent to Martial Sovereigns, which would spell trouble.

Lin Fei now possessed a large number of contribution points. Exchanging these for the flesh and blood of exotic beasts was the safest approach. So, he headed straight for the Treasure Exchange Pavilion.

At the pavilion, Lin Fei returned the remaining thirty-six Essence Enhancement Pills and received 3,600 contribution points in exchange. Combined with the 30,000 contribution points he earned from completing the Illusionary Worry City mission, he now had a total of 33,600 contribution points - a truly impressive number in the Ancient Origin Sect.

"Do you have the flesh of any powerful exotic beasts?" Lin Fei inquired straightforwardly.

"Of course. Elder Lin, I presume you want it to enhance your blood essence? Our Ancient Origin Sect offers an extensive collection of such materials," the attendant replied.

Lin Fei nodded. The flesh of exotic beasts was more abundant than pills that increase one's inner energy. Many Martial Saints, given sufficient resources, could elevate their physical bodies to the pinnacle and form an Energy Flower. Unlike Qi Flower, which required specific cultivation techniques and pills to progress, the Energy Flower was mostly about resource accumulation. The challenge, however, lay in obtaining the vast amount of resources required.

Of all the Limit Martial Saints, those who formed an Energy Flower were the most numerous due to the straightforward nature of its cultivation.

"I require flesh corresponding to the level of Limit Martial Saints," Lin Fei stated. Regular exotic beast flesh would be too slow for his needs. To advance his Blood Essence Nine Transformations to its ninth stage, he needed the essence of more potent creatures.

"No problem. How about a Century Flood Dragon?" the attendant suggested. "It hasn't matured to a millennium yet, so it hasn't transformed into a true dragon. Once it does, it would be at the level of a Martial Sovereign. We can't dare to mess with or capture a Millennial Flood Dragon. However, a Century Flood Dragon, which rivals a Limit Martial Saint who has formed an Energy Flower, can be obtained. But it's expensive, costing 10,000 contribution points."

"10,000 points? Show it to me," Lin Fei responded, eyes gleaming.

Before long, he was presented with a Century Flood Dragon. Its massive form, spanning hundreds of feet, lay listlessly as if its internal power was sealed. Seeing its potential, Lin Fei agreed to the deal. "10,000 contribution points. Deliver the Century Flood Dragon to my cave dwelling."

"Understood."

Lin Fei then returned to his dwelling, waiting patiently for the Century Flood Dragon to be delivered.
