Body Tempering Sixth Layer

Lin Yun immersed himself in cultivating Tongbei Fist!

Aside from eating, drinking, relieving himself, and sleeping, Lin Yun spent every other moment cultivating.

After his parents passed away, Lin Yun had lived alone in the courtyard. He was withdrawn by nature and basically never went out on ordinary days, spending all his time in secluded cultivation, so no one came to disturb him.

The Clan Tournament was approaching.

All the younger generation of the Lin Family were cultivating desperately. Originally, Lin Yun had not held any expectations for the clan competition, but now that he had the system, his confidence had soared.

"Lin Dong is probably training hard right now too. He has the Ancestral Stone and the Stone Talisman Spiritual Liquid, so his cultivation speed won't be slow. But mine should be even faster."

The corners of Lin Yun's mouth lifted as he thought this, feeling somewhat eager to meet Lin Dong.

They both belonged to the type who quietly developed in secret, then stunned everyone. This time, it would come down to who was more stunning.

Task: Cultivate Tongbei Fist 10 times.
Reward: Tongbei Fist proficiency Minor Achievement +1.
Completed. Claim?

"Claim!"

"Pap-pap-pap-pap-pap-pap-pap-pap-pap!"

"Nine echoes!"

A dense, continuous string of pap-pap sounds rang out from Lin Yun's courtyard.

Tongbei Fist (Minor Achievement +10) - (Major Achievement)

Task: Cultivate Tongbei Fist to Major Achievement.
Reward: One bottle of First Grade Qi Blood Pill.
Completed. Claim?

"Claim!"

White light flashed before Lin Yun, and an Emerald Jade Bottle appeared in his hand.

Lin Yun opened the bottle stopper, and a rich, fragrant aroma wafted out. Inside were ten round, plump pills, scarlet as blood.

Qi Blood Pill: Can rapidly replenish stamina, strengthen physique, consolidate the foundation, and nurture the source.

"This pill came right on time."

Lin Yun was pleasantly surprised.

For cultivators, ordinary food contained limited energy. Even if they ate a great deal, it was digested quickly and simply could not satisfy the daily stamina consumption required for cultivation.

Previously, Lin Yun had been unable to maintain this level of intensity in cultivation at all. After practicing a few rounds of fist techniques, he had no choice but to rest and replenish himself.

If one wanted to increase the intensity of cultivation...

Great tonics with spiritual energy such as Demonic Beast Meat, Spirit Herbs, and pills became extremely important.

Continuously practicing fist techniques consumed an enormous amount of stamina. Having just obtained the system, Lin Yun had been sustaining himself entirely on passion. Now that he had stopped, he was both exhausted and hungry.

"Gulp!"

Lin Yun could not hold back and directly swallowed a Qi Blood Pill.

As soon as the Qi Blood Pill entered his body, it immediately transformed into scorching energy that merged into Lin Yun's body. In an instant, Lin Yun's entire person became spirited once more.

"Create a task. Keep grinding!"

Task: Cultivate Tongbei Fist 100 times.
Reward: Tongbei Fist proficiency Major Achievement +1.

Task: Cultivate Tongbei Fist to Perfection.
Reward: One bottle of Second Grade pill, Azure Blood Pill.

"Pap-pap-pap..."

He began cultivating Tongbei Fist again.

Lin Yun had eaten Spirit Herbs before and had experience. At times like this, practicing fist techniques could speed up the refinement of the medicinal power, and the Body Tempering effect would be even better, helping him raise his realm.

When it came to cultivation, Lin Yun was not stingy with pills in the slightest.

He ate two every day, maintaining uninterrupted cultivation.

Five days later!

Task: Cultivate Tongbei Fist 100 times.
Reward: Tongbei Fist proficiency Major Achievement +1.
Completed. Claim?

"Claim!"

"Pap... pap!"

"Ten echoes!"

At last, he had cultivated it to Perfection.

Tongbei Fist (Major Achievement +10) - (Perfection)

Task: Cultivate Tongbei Fist to Perfection.
Reward: One bottle of Second Grade Azure Blood Pill.
Completed. Claim?

"Claim!"

Lin Yun checked the information on the Azure Blood Pill. Its effect was equivalent to an enhanced version of the Qi Blood Pill.

"I'm already at the peak of Body Tempering Fifth Layer. I'm only one step away from the Sixth Layer, and I can already sense a force inside my body, faintly discernible. That must be Yuan Power."

"With the Azure Blood Pill, I should be able to break through to the Sixth Layer very soon."

Lin Yun thought with excitement.

The Body Tempering Sixth Layer was the most important threshold in the initial stages of cultivation. At this step, Origin Power could be born inside the body and condensed into an Origin Power Seed.

Only after possessing an Origin Power Seed could one truly be considered to have stepped onto the threshold of cultivation.

Lin Yun ate an Azure Blood Pill and continued cultivating.

He planned to cultivate Tongbei Fist to Superb Skill first.

Task: Cultivate Tongbei Fist to Superb Skill. Reward: Fist Technique Talent (Beginner).

Beginner Fist Technique Talent: Grants a uniquely gifted understanding of fist techniques, greatly increasing comprehension when cultivating fist techniques.

The reward of "Fist Technique Talent" was far too tempting.

Lin Yun felt that if he obtained this talent and then went back to cultivate Falling Rock Fist, he would get twice the result with half the effort.

Task: Cultivate Tongbei Fist 1,000 times. Reward: Tongbei Fist proficiency Perfection +1.

To go from Perfection to Superb Skill required cultivating it 10,000 times.

Lin Yun's speed at practicing Tongbei Fist was already very fast now. It took him less than two minutes to complete one round.

Twenty thousand minutes, by calculation, was less than half a month.

Taking out time for eating, drinking, relieving himself, and sleeping, he could max it out in at most one month.

Ten days later.

Lin Yun had finished eating ten Azure Blood Pills. Amid high-intensity cultivation, Origin Power finally emerged within his body. It was an indescribable sensation of power, born from his bone marrow, slowly flowing, and in the end spreading through every part of his body.

At the same time, Lin Yun also sensed the vital energy in heaven and earth, which was extremely similar to the Origin Power produced inside his body.

Task: Break through to Body Tempering Realm Sixth Layer. Reward: Physique +1, Root Bone +1. Completed. Claim?

"Claim."

Lin Yun responded quickly.

The next second, two strange forces merged into his body. Lin Yun could clearly feel a subtle transformation taking place in his body. It was extremely comfortable, as if some kind of shackle had been broken.

Physique 7 (ordinary) - 8 (ordinary)

Root Bone 9 (ordinary) - 10 (outstanding)

"Once an attribute breaks through 10, it becomes outstanding."

"Hm? The tasks seem to have changed too!"

Lin Yun noticed a few subtle numerical changes in the task list.

Task: Cultivate Tongbei Fist 980 times. Reward: Tongbei Fist proficiency Perfection +1.

The task had changed from 1,000 times to 980 times.

"It should be because my Physique and Root Bone improved."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yun understood.

Physique was the foundation of cultivation, while Root Bone represented cultivation talent. With both of them improved, practicing fist techniques would definitely be easier.

This change pleasantly surprised Lin Yun. He had wanted to keep pushing himself and cultivate nonstop, but unfortunately, the food at home had run out, so he had no choice but to go out.

If not for the Qi Blood Pills and Azure Blood Pills rewarded by the system, Lin Yun's food would have run out half a month ago.

Now that he had broken through to Body Tempering Sixth Layer and begun cultivating Origin Power, his energy consumption was even greater. Lin Yun had to find a way to obtain high-energy food and resources.

As a member of the Lin Family, Lin Yun could also receive some supplies from the Lin Family, but that little bit of supplies could only make his life slightly more comfortable. It was not much help for cultivation.

"Looks like I need to go out hunting!"

Qingyang Town was surrounded by mountains on all sides, and there were plenty of Demon Beasts. Many people made their living by hunting.

Lin Yun had hunted alone before as well. As long as he did not venture too deep into the mountains, there would not be much danger.

Moreover, Lin Yun had already reached Body Tempering Sixth Layer and cultivated Origin Power. This level of strength already counted as outstanding in Qingyang Town. Among the many younger members of the Lin Family, only Lin Hong and Lin Xia had probably reached this realm.
