Three months passed in the blink of an eye. Chen Fei kept to himself, and aside from Zhu Shiyu occasionally dropping by, he hardly even stepped outside his courtyard.
The Lord of Lingxiao Tower had been busy with something lately, though Chen Fei did not know exactly what. Even after all this time, he had not found a chance to summon Chen Fei.
That was precisely why Zhu Shiyu visited from time to time. He also wanted to build a closer relationship with Chen Fei, having already taken the initiative to invest thirty thousand low-grade immortal crystals in him.
He had to make sure that investment brought some returns in the future.
Over those three months, Chen Fei condensed more than two hundred Great Dao Stones. He fused two hundred of them into his body, leaving another twenty untouched in his possession.
Chen Fei did not have a proper Realm Lord Realm body-refining technique. Although Dragon Elephant Void Return had reached the Realm Lord Realm, it was still somewhat crude. After all, its foundation had been formed by merging ninth-tier techniques.
