Chapter 588 -92: Divine Clothes

Li Fei had only just sat down in his loft when a large amount of files were delivered to him.

These files were all related to the “Heavenly Altar Assassination Case” and contained information about people and events Wei Hongwen had come into contact with over the past six years.

Liang Chen and the others began organizing the files that had been delivered. Li Fei instantly noticed their inexperience; they obviously rarely did this sort of work.

However, he did not expose them; as long as they did not make any significant errors, he did not intend to replace them.

Anyway, he had no one of his own within the Monitoring Pavilion, so it did not really matter who was there.

After studying Wei Hongwen’s files at the desk for a while, Li Fei already had a plan in mind.

He decided to put off solving the case for now and take a trip back first.

Back to Feng Province.

His feudal manor was in Xing City, and it was necessary for him to return to settle matters related to both the construction of the Marquis Mansion and tax collection.

Additionally, the fourth type of Implant he intended to incorporate was still in the storeroom of Wu’an University.

Li Fei’s rise to power had not clouded his judgment with the promise of greater authority and position.

On the contrary, he was more eager than ever to enhance his own strength.

Although he could now directly purchase the Implants he wanted from the court, thanks to his status as a Marquis,

his fourth type of Implant was very rare and available only in specific places; even if he wanted to purchase it from the court now, it would take some time.

Moreover, once an Implant is made, it needs to be stored in a special cold storage to preserve its quality; long-distance transport can easily damage it, so the best method would be to go directly to Wuda and absorb the readily available one.

As for the investigation, Wei Hongwen’s hometown was in Gan Province, which was not too far from Feng Province.

Li Fei could very well return to Feng Province first, then make a detour to Gan Province afterward.

Once he had made up his mind, he began to study the Divine Clothes he wore—the Golden Silk Jade Qilin Armor.

He directly infused a surge of Force into the armor.

The Golden Silk Jade Qilin Beast had both gold and Water Attributes, so his Mixed Element Vajra Force could directly activate the Divine Clothes.

He felt the Force enter a deep and quiet pool.

The Force was like a large rock being thrown into the pool, causing ripples to spread across the surface.

It seemed as if a massive creature lurked within the pool, and when the rock was introduced, this enormous being was disturbed, and a bone-chilling cold surged from the depths.

Following that, the monstrous creature from the depths broke the surface, bringing with it a towering wave!

A peerless edge coupled with a coldness that pierced the soul merged together as a beast, five meters in length and towering over three meters high with dark golden Qilin armor, roared towards the heavens.

This scene flashed through Li Fei’s mind, and the dark golden robe he wore underwent a significant transformation:

Piece by piece, dark golden scales emerged, and the robe seemed to come alive, molding itself around Li Fei’s head, limbs, and torso, enveloping him completely.

In the blink of an eye, Li Fei was encased in dark golden Qilin Armor.

His head resembled that of a dragon, albeit without the horns, replaced instead by sharp ears.

The areas around his eyes were covered by two pieces of Qilin armor, with a faint red glow shining through.

The Qilin Armor on his body was etched with emerald green patterns that made it look like diamond, and yet also like jade.

Li Fei stood still and moved his hands and feet slightly.

The Qilin Armor fit him perfectly and did not hinder his movements at all.

Even Fifth Level Protective Clothing left the head and hands and feet exposed; this was the first piece of protective gear Li Fei had encountered that could cover his entire body.

Furthermore, it was easy to wear; simply inject Force, and it would automatically transform, allowing him to wear it on a daily basis without issue.

Without even testing it, Li Fei could feel the powerful defensive power of the Divine Clothes on his body.

Forth Level Protective Clothing could withstand the close-range firing of rifle bullets.

Fifth Level Protective Clothing could block machine gun fire at close range.

Sixth Level Protective Clothing could even withstand bombardments from small caliber artillery without breaking!

As for Seventh Level Divine Clothes, even large caliber artillery and high-explosive bombs couldn’t directly damage them!

Based on the current level of technology displayed by the West Continent, there were no weapons that could breach the defense of Seventh Level Divine Clothes.

However, this ‘full-cover’ mode and its strongest defensive state required continuous Force consumption.

Li Fei roughly estimated the rate at which Force was being used; given the depth of his Force, he could maintain it for about two hours without doing anything else.

In this state, a Martial Artist below the Peak of the Tao Foundation Stage would find it hard to harm him without using Tao Power!

And the incredible defensive power was just one aspect of the Golden Silk Jade Qilin Armor’s capabilities; it also had other extraordinary features, which were unique to the Divine Clothes:

One was “Golden Veins and Jade Body.”

This Divine Clothing could ‘devour’ diamonds and jade to enhance its defensive power!

In other words, this was a piece of clothing that could grow stronger continuously.

In theory, if it could consume enough diamonds and jade, it might even have a chance to advance to Eighth Level, or even Ninth Level!

Furthermore, if the Divine Clothes became damaged, it could also be repaired by ‘devouring’ diamonds and jade.

Both diamonds and jade were extremely expensive, even pricier than gold, and were very difficult to purchase.

This one feature alone meant that the Divine Clothes were not something the average person could afford.

Without his status as a Marquis and the authority of a Blue Patrol Envoy, Li Fei would struggle to manage such Divine Clothes with only the resources of the Green-faced Ghost King in Datong Prefecture, and he would have no chance to upgrade them.

Another feature was “Hundred Rivers Qi.”

This Divine Clothing could automatically absorb and store the Water Element Energy, as well as sense and control the Water Element Energy.

Whether it was cultivation, formation, or using related Force, Water Element Energy could play a significant role.

If one were near rivers, lakes, or ponds, wearing this Divine Clothing and using Water or Wood Attribute Force, a combatant with Extraordinary Ability would see a significant increase in their Combat Power!

Li Fei’s next implant to incorporate was of the Wood Attribute, with the Water Element nurturing wood, this Water Element Energy happened to be of use to him as well.

A seventh-level Divine Clothes, of course, couldn’t grant someone Divine Skills and rival a Martial Arts Master overnight.

But they were enough to significantly improve one’s combat power.

Had Li Fei possessed such Divine Clothes during his duel with True Master Qing Yu, he felt he might have even had the chance to counter-kill!

Compared to being granted the title of Marquis and the position of Blue Patrol Envoy, the gift from the Emperor was by far Li Fei’s favorite.

Because he was very clear about what he truly relied on to reach where he was today.

He withdrew his Force, allowing the Divine Clothes to revert to the appearance of a long robe.

Li Fei sat back in his chair and took out the Secret Manual “Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts” the Crown Prince had given him.

Compared to Lin Tianyi’s notes, this book was more akin to a true Secret Manual.

Lin Tianyi’s notes emphasized theory, and the techniques recorded therein were all aimed at helping people understand those theories better.

But this “Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts” documented five styles of killer moves!

Each killer move was a combination of Magic and Martial, similar to the “Blood Power God” Li Fei had created himself.

Had he not previously studied Lin Tianyi’s notes, the five moves recorded in this “Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts” would have seemed like ‘Arabian Nights’ to Li Fei, with no idea where to start.

However, with a theoretical foundation already in place, those five moves were perfectly suited as a seamless connection and enhancement for Li Fei.

He could even use these five moves to further understand and validate Lin Tianyi’s notes.

Li Fei suspected that when His Highness the Crown Prince went to Heavenly Tower to request this “Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts,” he must have informed them of Li Fei’s situation, purposely procuring such a fitting Secret Manual.

Such a thought touched Li Fei a bit.

In any case, he kept this favor in mind.

In his room, Li Fei quickly immersed himself in the pleasures of cultivation exploration.

After an unknown amount of time, footsteps echoed from downstairs.

“Your subordinate greets the Marquis!”

Lv Wenxing appeared before Li Fei, bowing and saluting with excitement on his face.

He was a 14th-level Sitting Official; previously, referring to himself as a subordinate in front of Li Fei would have seemed too sycophantic.

But now, he could do so with pride and justification.

“I’ve called you here to ask if you’re willing to transfer to the Monitoring Pavilion.”

Li Fei put down the manual he was holding and spoke to Lv Wenxing.

Previously, on the special train, Lv Wenxing’s words in the compartment had already made clear his stance.

Li Fei also approved of this man becoming one of his subordinates.

Now in the Monitoring Pavilion, Li Fei had no one on his side, and Lv Wenxing became the first person he intended to cultivate as his own.

“Your subordinate is of course willing; I am entirely at the Marquis’s disposal!”

Lv Wenxing was visibly elated.

Li Fei looked at him, “Your foundations these years have all been in the Zhi Ge Pavilion. If you come to the Monitoring Pavilion, you’ll have to start anew. If you stay in the Zhi Ge Pavilion, I could find a way to us you later. Consider the advantages and disadvantages yourself.”

“Your subordinate wishes to follow closely by your side!”

Lv Wenxing made his decision without any hesitation.

His position in the Zhi Ge Pavilion as Supervisor of the Strange Device Department came with not insignificant authority and perks.

But in his eyes, following Li Fei was the true path to greatness!

Li Fei nodded; he did indeed need someone trustworthy to help him handle affairs in the Monitoring Pavilion:

“As a Blue Patrol Envoy on duty, you can transfer people from the Monitoring Pavilion or temporarily requisition Martial Artists at the Tao Foundation Stage from the Zhi Ge Pavilion to act as guards. I plan to use this as a pretext to transfer you from there and, after spending some time by my side, I could then rightfully move you directly to the Monitoring Pavilion.”

“Marquis, during my time in the Zhi Ge Pavilion I also made some trustworthy acquaintances. If the Marquis does not mind, they can all be transferred over as well.”

Lv Wenxing pondered and then spoke.

Being Li Fei’s first batch of trusted staff, he naturally hoped to play a more important role.

“That’s fine, make a list for me and I’ll choose.”

Li Fei did not refuse.

To trust without doubts, since he’d decided to make the other his subordinate, he would naturally extend the appropriate trust.

“Many thanks, Marquis!”

Lv Wenxing was overjoyed.

“Go prepare; in three days, we return to Xing City.”

Li Fei said.

“Xing City?”

Lv Wenxing froze for a moment.

“It’s my hometown, now the land of my Feudal Manor.”

Li Fei said calmly.

He had left Xing City in January of the 46th year of Hong Guang.

It was now January of the 47th year of Hong Guang.

A year away from home, returning in glory!
