Golden light flowed quietly, also comprehending the changes within.

"Ding, you have cultivated the Immovable Diamond Body once, Proficiency +1, you have reached the Third Layer of Qi Refining."

Yun Shu did not stop.

He continued to circulate the Body Cultivation Method.

Body Cultivation Methods and Immortal Dao Cultivation Methods were complementary, influencing each other, yet they were two different systems.

Cultivators rarely practiced both body and immortal arts, as progress was slow, and they might not achieve anything in ten or a hundred years.

But for Yun Shu, they seemed to mutually enhance each other.

The Immovable Diamond Art cultivated the muscles, bones, skin, blood, meridians, and so on, all parts related to the body.

It could refine the body into something like fine iron. The only commonality between the two was that both required the use of Spiritual Energy from heaven and earth.

Now, it had also promoted the growth of his Qi Refining realm.

This was an unexpected joy.

Because he had not specifically cultivated any Spell Techniques.

"Ding, you have cultivated the Immovable Diamond Body once, Proficiency +1, current Proficiency is 100, your Immovable Diamond Body has reached Great Accomplishment."

Hearing this, Yun Shu finally opened his eyes slightly.

From the beginning until now, three days had passed.

The Great Accomplishment of the Immovable Diamond Body meant that in the Qi Refining stage, he could almost walk sideways!

Not to mention anything else, his physical strength had definitely reached an unimaginable level.

Body Cultivation Methods were not Immortal Dao Cultivation Methods. Upon reaching Great Accomplishment, they were directly comparable to the Peak Stage of Qi Condensation, this was almost undeniable.

However, there were side effects. His physical realm had improved too quickly, and Yun Shu almost couldn't stand steadily.

Of course, it might also be that his legs were numb from sitting.

Now, he didn't know how his teacher could endure the boredom and sit there for countless years, merely tempering his body and refining his blood and qi. His teacher's strength, comprehension, and perseverance were definitely beyond his imagination.

His foundation was incredibly solid.

Without a doubt, the cultivation methods his teacher had passed down to him were incredibly powerful.

Even now, he still felt grateful to the Old Man.

He was an Old Man who was always worth learning from and respecting.

He had already reached Great Accomplishment. As for reaching Perfection in the Immovable Diamond Body, that would be equivalent to Peak Foundation Establishment, or even a Pseudo-Core stage expert.

Body cultivators are just that formidable!

Yun Shu felt the surging power within his body. His gaze flickered. Currently, he couldn't completely conceal his Body Cultivator aura. Once he could, this could completely serve as a trump card.

Although his Immortal Path realm was only the Third Layer of Qi Refining, not yet the Middle Stage of Qi Condensation, his Body Cultivator strength had already surpassed his realm.

Yun Shu mused.

After returning to the sect, he needed to learn a method to conceal his aura.

As for the next time he would advance his Body Refining realm, Yun Shu felt he should at least solidify his current realm first.

He glanced at his still trembling hands. This was caused by his inability to control his strength.

It was also because his Immortal Path strength couldn't keep up with his Martial Path strength that he felt this imbalance of power.

He would have to wait. While the two didn't necessarily need perfect balance, both were extremely important. Being able to advance them in parallel would at least provide another layer of security.

His current Contribution Points were also sufficient.

As for Immortal Arts, exchanging for them within the sect using Contribution Points was not as good as buying them directly from outside. The Immortal Arts within the sect were very precious and required various Contribution Points to exchange. Contribution Points were even harder to come by than spirit stones.

It was better to take on more missions outside to accumulate wealth and purchase them in the market.

However, even outside, an Immortal Art was hard to find. Cultivation methods were too precious.

Of course, there was another method: seize them!

"Robbing and killing for wealth, the saying isn't without basis."

Yun Shu didn't act immediately. He took out the cultivation method and continued to read it.

This was the accompanying martial skill for the Immovable Diamond Body, namely Diamond Glare, Immovable Diamond Body, and Diamond Hand.

One was a body technique, for defense.

One was a hand technique, similar to Falling Cloud Palm.

The other, Diamond Glare, was a Pupil Technique. It was a form of mental energy suppression that consumed mostly mental energy.

Yun Shu sat down cross-legged again. The powerful strength of his Body Cultivator cultivation had nowhere to be released. It was a good opportunity to cultivate the martial skills and utilize this strength.

Thus, golden light continuously flashed through the jungle.

"Ding, you have executed Diamond Glare once, Proficiency +1."

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

"Ding, you have used Diamond Hand once, Proficiency +1."

Diamond Glare is a mental energy attack method. Yun Shu felt a slight dizziness after using it only once.

But the effect was good.

Even the surrounding jungle branches and leaves slightly bowed down, as if in submission.

Diamond Body is a spiritual light formed by physical strength on the skin's surface. It can only cover oneself, has extremely strong defense, and doesn't consume much. It can be considered an excellent defensive method.

Diamond Hand is a variety of techniques, all of which are applied to the hands.

It can be used for grabbing, holding, or punching.

The power is roughly the same for all.

Such complementary techniques are extremely rare and are the most compatible with the main cultivation method. At least, in Yun Shu's opinion, the power of this level might be stronger than many High-grade Martial Skills.

"Ding, you have used Diamond Glare once, Proficiency +1, current Proficiency is 10, you have reached Minor Accomplishment."

"Ding, you have used Diamond Body once, Proficiency +1, current Proficiency is 10, you have reached Minor Accomplishment."

"Ding, you have used Diamond Hand once, Proficiency +1, current Proficiency is 10, you have reached Minor Accomplishment."

After the three major techniques reached Minor Accomplishment, Yun Shu's overall strength greatly increased.

He even had a feeling that he could fight against someone in the Foundation Establishment Stage!

However, this was just a feeling. If he truly faced someone in the Foundation Establishment Stage, he would only have the option to flee.

"I wonder what the Female Protagonist's strength is now. She has probably also reached the Qi Condensation Stage," Yun Shu guessed.

But the Female Protagonist had many trump cards. If they really fought, Yun Shu didn't know how much confidence he would have in defeating her.

What he obtained from the Female Protagonist was merely a drop in the ocean.

Let alone whether the Female Protagonist cared, even if she did, she might not care that much.

However, Yun Shu felt that his current strength was definitely superior to Qin Lingyu's. As for Qin Lingyu after he became a demon, his strength might surge again, and that would be a different story.

Yun Shu's strength increased steadily and moderately. He could keep up with others' cultivation progress at his own pace.

In terms of his current realm, Yun Shu was full of confidence.

He also had his own trump cards.

Sword Intent alone was definitely a killer move. Even when facing someone at the Peak Stage of Qi Condensation, if used unexpectedly, no one might be able to defend against it.

Thinking of this, Yun Shu felt a slight relaxation in the tension he had been holding.

Finally, Yun Shu took out another item he wanted to learn.

This was a martial skill.

It was taken from the Old Master's study.

Although it was called a martial skill, Yun Shu preferred to call it a "secret art."

Secret arts could employ various methods, either to temporarily boost combat power or for brief bursts of speed, but regardless, they would cause damage to the body. The damage might not be extreme, but it would still require a considerable period of recuperation to recover.

Take this "Blood Burning Escape Technique" for example.

By burning one's vital energy and blood, it could temporarily increase speed. At this stage, the speed was comparable to teleportation.

Martial skills consumed vital energy and blood, which could be replenished.

Secret arts, however, directly burned vital energy and blood, which could not be recovered. They could only be cultivated anew, or restored with certain medicines and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

The Blood Burning Art was extremely overbearing and had stringent conditions.

Yun Shu pondered for a moment and decided to cultivate this secret art.

Undoubtedly, after burning his vital energy and blood, it would take several days to recover. However, it could also save his life!
