Chapter 41 – Will the mentor-disciple relationship not deteriorate? "Foolish disciple, this Youth Retaining Pill may only be an Earth Grade elixir, but its ingredients are extremely rare. You can't just refine one every day and treat it like a meal. You're being too naive." Lin Jichen scratched his head and chuckled, "You're right. With Master's Heavenly Immortal-like beauty, there's no need for a Youth Retaining Pill. But this is a small token of my apology. I hope Master will accept it, so I can feel a bit better." "Hmph, always with the sweet talk." Leng Feiyan pretended to be displeased, giving Lin Jichen a sidelong glance, but the smile on her lips grew even more pronounced. Her phoenix eyes sparkled like autumn water, full of charm. "Alright, I'll accept this elixir." Leng Feiyan accepted Lin Jichen's second gift. Lin Jichen lost an Earth Grade elixir, but he gained another wave of affection from Leng Feiyan. [Ding! Leng Feiyan's affection for you +20! Current affection: 35 points (Close Companions)] Haha! Worth it! Exchanging an elixir for 20 points of affection from Leng Feiyan was definitely a good deal! Moreover, the Youth Retaining Pill was of no use to him anyway. 35 points of affection was not low; it belonged to the level of close companions. His relationship with Leng Feiyan had taken a big step forward! Sure enough, Leng Feiyan's gaze no longer held the previous coldness and distance. Instead, she smiled sweetly, and deep in her eyes, there seemed to be a budding affection. Oh boy, this master-disciple relationship... could it be changing? "I just remembered, I have a martial arts technique for the Qi Refining Realm that I learned when I was young. It's been sealed away for a long time. I just thought of it. Wait here, I'll go get it." Leng Feiyan said as she temporarily left the hall. Lin Jichen was delighted. As expected, the higher the affection, the more benefits. This Youth Retaining Pill was truly a good gift! Not long after, Leng Feiyan returned, gracefully holding a booklet. Lin Jichen initially only saw the booklet, but when he inadvertently looked up, he was surprised to see a jade hairpin in Leng Feiyan's hair. He remembered that it wasn't there before, and this jade hairpin was the first gift he had bought for Leng Feiyan in Fengqu City, a white jade and gold hairpin. It was just an ordinary hairpin, and Lin Jichen had thought Leng Feiyan would definitely not like it. Even if she accepted it, she wouldn't wear it.UppTodated from Unexpectedly, she had quietly put it on. Although the hairpin was just a mundane item, under Leng Feiyan's celestial beauty, it seemed to become a divine treasure, radiant and dazzling. Leng Feiyan also noticed Lin Jichen looking at the hairpin in her hair. On the surface, she remained calm, but inside, she was secretly laughing. A woman dresses up for those who appreciate her. "This is a martial arts technique for the Qi Refining Realm that I learned when I was young. It's not a rare secret technique, but it's sufficient for the Qi Refining Realm. It's of no use to me, so you can take it and cultivate." "Thank you, Master!" Lin Jichen happily accepted the booklet. "Alright, study the mysteries of this martial arts technique well. I'll be heading back." Leng Feiyan left these words and then departed. Mainly, Lin Jichen's gaze made her both delighted and embarrassed, feeling uneasy. It was like a little girl wearing new clothes, eager to show them off to everyone, but feeling shy and hiding when someone noticed. Putting on the Gentle Breeze Bracelet, Lin Jichen's attributes saw another significant increase. [Player: Lin Jichen] [Class: Sword Cultivator] [Innate Talent: Heaven-defying Fate] [Sect: Tianyan Sword Sect] [Reputation: 620] [Achievement Badge: Killing Intent (Damage to monsters +1%)] [Innate Attributes: All maxed] [Realm: Middle stage of Qi Refining] [Cultivation: 300/1000] [Acquired Talent: Vitality Sprout (Vitality cap +20%)] [Vitality: 4080/4080] [Mana: 3100/3100] [Strength: 85] [Mental Power: 32] [Defense: 71] [Speed: 84] [Critical Hit: 7] [Heart Protection: 10] [Fire Resistance: 5] [Evasion: 11%] [Swordsmanship Aptitude: +10%] [Alchemy Aptitude: +50%] [Heart Sutra: Tianyan Heart Sutra (Beginner 22%)] [Movement Technique: Phantom Step (Beginner 22%), Mist Piercing Charge (Beginner 11%)] [Martial Arts: Frost Moon Slash (Beginner 11%), Phoenix Feather (Beginner 0%)] [Equipment: Spirit Grade · Sword Sect Attire, Spirit Grade · Crimson Cloud Sword, Spirit Grade · Gathering Spirit Jade Pendant, Spirit Grade · Stone Sinking Ring, Spirit Grade · Cloud Step Boots, Spirit Grade · Rhinoceros Belt, Spirit Grade · Hundred Refinement Ring, Spirit Grade · Gentle Breeze Bracelet] This attribute panel is truly pleasing to the eye. It's just that the skill proficiency increases a bit slowly, mainly because swordsmanship aptitude only adds 10%. Lin Jichen planned to go to the sword stone near the Sword Sect's mountain gate to comprehend for a while. Maybe he could raise his swordsmanship aptitude to the same level as his alchemy aptitude, which would be perfect. Just as he walked out of the Sword Palace, a sweet voice called out. "Junior brother~ are you there?"
