Thinking of this, Yun Shu shook his head.

He then stood up.

"Your Body Refining Technique isn't used accurately. This is how the Body Refining Technique should be circulated," Yun Shu said as he demonstrated the Body Refining Technique.

The entire process was still Martial Arts, but it left Lin Yang stunned.

Was this the Body Refining Technique he was familiar with?

Why did it seem different when Yun Shu performed it?

Yun Shu didn't unleash any world-shattering martial skills, nor did his blood surge like mountain mist.

"Do you know what's different?" Yun Shu asked later.

"It seems like the Body Refining Technique Junior Brother Yun uses is airtight, circulating all the blood in his body. But when I use it, it's like I'm full of openings," Lin Yang hesitated before replying.

Yun Shu nodded slightly, looking at Lin Yang with some satisfaction.

He could still be taught.

"The difference is actually just in the proficiency and specific application of the technique," Yun Shu said.

"Practice it again, and I'll point out the specific problems. You should be able to improve your use of the Body Refining Technique from now on."

Lin Yang did as he was told. Yun Shu noted down all the problems and wrote them on a piece of paper, which he handed to Lin Yang.

He listed nine problems in total.

Instead of listing them one by one, he drew a miniature figure and used arrows to point out the specific locations of the problems.

After Lin Yang completed a set of the Body Refining Technique, Yun Shu handed him the paper.

Lin Yang took it, his expression paused, and then he looked at Yun Shu with a solemn face. "Thank you, Junior Brother Yun. This understanding of body refining is absolutely invaluable. If you ever need my help in the future, I will certainly go through fire and water for you!"

"Good," Yun Shu waved his hand dismissively. "I'll rest for a while. We'll go into the mountains later to catch three more demon wolves, and that will complete this mission. Then we'll return to the sect."

"Alright, Junior Brother Yun, please rest," Lin Yang said.

Yun Shu simply nodded and casually found an open space, pulled over a large leaf to cover himself, and rested his head on the demon fox, falling asleep for the time being.

Lin Yang did not rest but was instead correcting the problems of the technique according to what Yun Shu had recorded.

Sounds of surging blood qi continuously emanated from within the jungle.

However, it didn't disturb Yun Shu, who continued to sleep soundly.

Two hours later, Yun Shu got up from the grass.

Lin Yang was still continuously honing his leg and footwork.

However, what surprised Yun Shu was that Lin Yang's strength had actually improved?

Not only had it improved, but he had directly broken through the bottleneck of the Late Body Refining Stage, advancing a realm directly from the Body Refining Fifth Level!

Moreover, the strength of the Mid Body Refining Stage and the Late Body Refining Stage were almost incomparable. Being able to break through meant a visible increase in strength.

Yun Shu clicked his tongue in amazement.

After observing for a while, Yun Shu felt quite impressed.

The Body Refining Art that Lin Yang was now performing not only corrected the issues he had pointed out but also became much more fluid. This indicated that he had begun to develop his own understanding and could consciously make corrections.

This was a sign of Body Refining Art Minor Accomplishment.

Achieving Minor Accomplishment in the Body Refining Art was considered quite good among Outer Sect Disciples. Although he hadn't been far from Minor Accomplishment before, the current progress was visible.

Furthermore, the effect was truly immediate.

"Senior Brother Lin's comprehension is indeed extraordinary," Yun Shu said with admiration.

Hearing Yun Shu's voice, Lin Yang also stopped his movements.

"It's thanks to Junior Brother Yun pointing out the problems that I was able to make further progress in the Body Refining Art," Lin Yang said sincerely.

The deeper he delved into the Body Refining Art, the more he understood Yun Shu's power.

When Yun Shu had demonstrated the Body Refining Art to him earlier, Lin Yang found that even the Deacon who had demonstrated it back then was far inferior.

Previously, Yun Shu could already project his vital energy externally in the Mid Body Refining Stage, which was a mark of Great Accomplishment in the Body Refining Art. Great Accomplishment was already considered a legend, let alone the possibility that Yun Shu might go even further in the Body Refining Art.

He was truly a super genius. Just by being able to enter the Inner Sect, Yun Shu had already proven his worth.

Yun Shu, however, genuinely felt that Lin Yang's comprehension was good.

Considering it, Lin Yang hadn't been in the Outer Sect for long. When they completed a mission together, he was only at the Body Refining Fourth Level, having just been promoted from Menial Disciple to the Outer Sect standard.

And in this period, which was only a few months, he had managed to reach the peak of the Body Refining Fifth Level.

With just a little guidance from him, he was now in the Late Body Refining Stage.

With such comprehension, perhaps given some more time, reaching Body Refining Peak wouldn't be a problem.

"What are Senior Brother Lin's cultivation aptitudes?" Yun Shu casually inquired.

"Wood Spiritual Root, mid-grade; Fire Spiritual Root, low-grade," Lin Yang replied truthfully.

Yun Shu: "..."

He shouldn't have asked.

It seemed like anyone he randomly picked, even Li Jian, might have better cultivation aptitude than him.

"Wood Fire Spiritual Root, Senior Brother, have you considered learning alchemy?" Yun Shu pondered for a moment and said.

"Let's talk about it when I reach the inner sect. My talent is extremely limited, and my strength is far behind. Only my comprehension might be considered decent. I do pick up cultivation techniques and martial skills quickly," Lin Yang said with a hint of helplessness. "Even with a Wood Fire Spiritual Root, not everyone gets taken in as a disciple by an alchemist."

Yun Shu nodded gently. That was true.

However, with this spiritual root and this comprehension, it was still alright.

He could be considered a potential stock.

At the very least, if his strength could keep up with mine, he would be a qualified tool.

There weren't many such useful tools anymore.

Having rested enough, Yun Shu said directly, "Wait for me here. It might take me some time, maybe a day or two, maybe three. Don't come looking for me."

Lin Yang nodded. The Three-Eyed Demonic Wolf was a pack-dwelling demonic beast, and its strength was immense.

This mission was quite difficult to complete, which was why it was ranked B.

It would take time to outsmart them, and Lin Yang didn't overthink it.

He was still willing to trust Yun Shu.

Then, Yun Shu plunged into the forest.

Before leaving, he kicked the fox that was about to undergo Demonic Transformation. "If you dare to run, I'll skin you when I get back."

Then his figure disappeared into the jungle.

Only Lin Yang and the swollen, fat demonic fox were left, staring at each other blankly.

Yun Shu actually preferred dealing with demonic beasts.

The demonic beasts in the forest were either gentle or irritable, all of them so cute.

There wasn't too much deceit, just occasional small cleverness that was harmless.

This time, it was the last B-rank mission.

Capture three Three-Eyed Demonic Wolves alive.

Demonic wolves were inherently pack animals, with a wolf king giving commands.

Each Three-Eyed Demonic Wolf is comparable to the Demonic Transformation stage. If dozens of them form a pack, even ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators would have to avoid their edge.

Even a swarm of ants can bite an elephant to death. If each of them is equivalent to the Qi Condensation Stage, coupled with certain circumstances, it might be much easier to deal with dead wolves than live ones.

This thing is very brutal, and also very strong.

However, Yun Shu was not overly worried.

He was looking for a place to practice.

After entering the jungle, Yun Shu did not rush into the depths of the jungle. Instead, he absorbed the Qi Nurturing Pills, Origin Nurturing Pills, and cultivation resources he had obtained in the manor, and piled up his Energy Points to 4500, which was enough for Yun Shu to cultivate for a while.

Yun Shu glanced outside, then found a spot and sat down cross-legged.

His eyes were slightly closed, as if an old monk was in meditation.

"Ding, you have cultivated Immovable Diamond Body once, Proficiency +1."

"..."

"Ding, you have cultivated Immovable Diamond Body once, Proficiency +1."

Golden light was contained beneath Yun Shu's skin. This was the result of Yun Shu's restraint; otherwise, when he cultivated, the golden light around him would illuminate the night within a kilometer.

Proficiency continued to increase. From the initial obscurity to later fluency, the Diamond Body had become quite easy for Yun Shu.

The time it took to circulate it once also shortened from an hour to a quarter of an hour.
