Proficiency Maxed Out, Liver Become Mortal Sword Immortal

The Body Refining Technique itself is an extremely basic technique.

Yun Shu planned to gradually discard other techniques after entering the Qi Condensation Stage, but he had no intention of abandoning the Body Refining Technique.

Even if the Body Refining Technique reached Perfection, there would still be room for gradual improvement.

Cultivating martial arts and cultivating immortality were different, but since the Martial Path could serve as the foundation and basis for the Immortal Path, it naturally had its reasons.

The martial skills for body refining could no longer keep up with his pace. They could be discarded once they reached Great Accomplishment, but the Body Refining Technique could still be pushed further.

At the very least, this was the first cultivation method Yun Shu had practiced.

He had to see what its limits were.

People came and went around him, but no one approached Yun Shu.

They were just a little strange that Yun Shu was still practicing the Body Refining Technique.

Those who could enter the inner sect were at least at the Third Layer of Qi Refining, and even that was only by exception.

One had to be at least at the Fourth Layer of Qi Refining, reaching the middle stage, before they could pass the assessment. The Third Layer of Qi Refining was merely to provide some vital force for the sect and to make up the numbers.

Yun Shu had skipped this level entirely, but he was currently still in the Body Refining Stage.

From Body Refining Perfection to the limit of body refining, Yun Shu had been lingering in the center for several days.

It wasn't that he couldn't break through, but rather that he needed to slowly find that sense of balance.

What was increasing was Proficiency, not experience. He still needed some time to adapt, so Yun Shu hadn't rushed.

Before, he could still take on some practical combat missions. Now that he had entered the inner sect, those missions were terrifyingly difficult.

It was no exaggeration to say that in the inner sect, even a D-grade mission was comparable to a B-grade mission in the outer sect. Although Yun Shu had the will, he didn't want to take on missions until he reached the Qi Condensation Stage.

He had to leave himself some time for cultivation and to identify and fix any shortcomings.

He had also learned a lot from the Transmission Elder these past two days. These were the elder's insights, which were always different from the rigid material in books.

"Ding, you have practiced the Body Refining Technique once, Proficiency +1."

"..."

"Ding, you have practiced the Body Refining Technique once, Proficiency +1."

Sounds continuously echoed in Yun Shu's mind.

His Proficiency was also rapidly increasing.

At this moment, Yun Shu still had over a hundred Energy Points. He hadn't absorbed and converted the hundred pills he had just obtained, so Yun Shu held back a little.

After I raise all these to Perfection, making the Body Refining Realm flawless, then I'll use them to advance. The results will be even better.

Of course, raising them to Perfection won't take long.

Yun Shu's foundation is already quite good.

The main things to improve are the Body Refining Technique and Ghost Shadow Steps.

These are the cultivation technique and martial skill Yun Shu relies on in the Body Refining Realm.

Currently, they are constantly improving.

"Ding, you have cultivated the Body Refining Technique once. Proficiency +1. You have reached the Body Refining Extreme Realm."

A voice sounded in Yun Shu's mind, and he stopped his movements.

He suddenly struck out with a palm towards the distance.

In an instant, a rumbling sound, like thunder, echoed through the air.

A crimson tiger shape formed from Blood Qi surged into the distance, only dissipating after a long while.

"Blood Qi Manifestation?"

"Blood Qi Manifestation?"

The first voice came from the end of the Training Ground, the voice of the Transmission Elder from afar.

The other voice came from the Menial Disciple Area, the hoarse voice of the withered Old Man on the highest platform.

Without a doubt, both voices carried heavy astonishment and shock.

The Transmission Elder suddenly appeared before Yun Shu. The many disciples, and even Yun Shu, only saw a blur.

"How did you achieve that palm strike just now?" The Transmission Elder was a kind Old Man, and his eyes were filled with intense surprise at this moment.

"I just casually struck it out," Yun Shu replied truthfully.

"Did you learn any martial skills?"

"Yes, Falling Cloud Palm," Yun Shu still answered everything truthfully. "And a movement technique."

Falling Cloud Palm.

The Transmission Elder savored the words, as if he had forgotten what Falling Cloud Palm was.

However, he quickly remembered.

"Can you do it again?" the Transmission Elder asked.

The voice seemed a little urgent.

"Good." Yun Shu nodded and glanced around.

Then, he still struck out with his palm, bringing forth the Qi and Blood Power. This time, it was a dragon shape formed by red Qi and Blood.

It dissipated after getting closer than the tiger shape.

But the awe-inspiring aura it emitted still made the surrounding disciples retreat.

Originally, many disciples had come upon hearing the news.

They didn't know why the Transmission Elder was so excited.

But seeing Yun Shu's Qi and Blood now, their eyes were filled with shock.

Was this Qi and Blood?

Blood Qi Manifestation?

It seemed like something only seen in legends!

"That's right, Blood Qi Manifestation, the Human Body Limit!" The Transmission Elder couldn't help but laugh heartily, "I never expected that I would still be able to see someone who could cultivate the Body Refining Technique to such a realm."

The many disciples were somewhat confused, while Yun Shu's eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't say much.

The Transmission Elder explained, "There is a limit to body refining in the human body, and this limit is the highest level that the body refining techniques of the Ancient Ancestors could reach."

"It is rumored that those ancient ancestors only cultivated body techniques, and it was even rumored that their body techniques were so powerful that they could subdue dragons and tigers."

"The tiger is the king of a hundred beasts, and the dragon is the Overlord of the Sea Domain. After the Ancient Ancestors, anyone who could manifest Qi and Blood into the shape of a dragon or tiger has naturally entered the Human Body Limit."

"In the Martial Path, this is called the Extreme Realm. However, the Extreme Realm you are currently in is only the limit of the Body Refining Technique. Because the upper limit of the Body Refining Technique is fixed, your development of the human body has already surpassed the peak that the Body Refining Technique can achieve. Therefore, if you cultivate other body techniques later, you will be even more at ease."

The Transmission Elder looked at Yun Shu with admiration, "The path of a Body Cultivator is full of hardships. I hope you can go further. However, may I ask about your immortal cultivation Talent?"

"Triple Spiritual Root, all Low-grade..." Yun Shu blinked and then replied.

The Transmission Elder: "..."

The many disciples who had gathered to watch: "..." They dispersed.

After a long while, the Transmission Elder looked over with a rather complex expression, only leaving behind a dry sentence, "Don't be discouraged. There are many strong individuals who have achieved divine power through the Martial Path. Uh, although I haven't heard of it, there are plenty recorded in ancient texts..."

But no matter what, the Transmission Elder had witnessed history. He gently patted Yun Shu's shoulder and sat back down.

The many disciples also remembered Yun Shu's face, looked at him with sympathy, and then dispersed.

Yun Shu touched his chin. Should he say something like, "Don't bully a young man for being poor?" at this moment?

After the crowd dispersed, Yun Shu continued to practice the Ghost Shadow Steps, Falling Cloud Palm, and Thunderclap Fist martial skills as usual.

The Ghost Shadow Steps became even more terrifying after his Qi and Blood could manifest.

His entire body was almost shrouded in a layer of Blood Mist, appearing to be a peculiar cultivation technique.

It also seemed more domineering and more heretical.

At the very least, his movements became much faster.

His voice also became much fainter.

It carried a unique lethality.

It looked just like the Blood Escape Technique of a Heretic Cultivator.

The more Yun Shu looked, the more it resembled it. Were the underlying principles even similar?

Both used Qi and Blood Power for evasion. The only difference was that the Blood Escape Technique burned vital blood, specifically Heart Blood, while his only consumed Qi and Blood Power. The path was the same, only the power differed.

As Yun Shu practiced, the martial skills evolved further. Since Yun Shu had already mastered these skills to perfection, he could naturally adapt and integrate these changes quickly.

Yun Shu practiced as if no one else was around.

Even when other disciples passed by, they merely shook their heads. They had never seen someone specialize so deeply in the Body Refining Realm.
