#19 - Chi Ling's special talent

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

Lin Yun had used up most of the elixirs in his possession, and he had finally succeeded in breaking through to the eighth level of Body Tempering.

[Task: Break through to the eighth level of Body Tempering. Reward: Physique +1, Comprehension +1. Completed, claim reward?]

"Claim!"

His body underwent another slight sublimation.

Lin Yun then created a new task.

[Task: Break through to the ninth level of Body Tempering. Reward: Physique +2, Root Bone +2.]

"The rewards have become more generous, not bad!" Lin Yun was pleasantly surprised.

Besides the breakthrough in his cultivation realm, Lin Yun's martial arts had also improved rapidly during this month.

The Shaking Heaven Fist had been directly raised to the Perfected stage.

He obtained the reward "Fist Technique Talent (Beginner +2)".

Now, Lin Yun's Fist Technique Talent had reached the Beginner +4 level.

His proficiency in fist techniques increased even faster.

Especially with first-grade fist techniques, Lin Yun had already raised the Penetrating Back Fist to "Divine ( +8 )."

After practicing it for another ten thousand times or so, he would be able to achieve the state of 'Skill Approaching the Dao'.

Over the next period, Lin Yun planned to focus on cultivating fist techniques, aiming to max out the two first-grade fist techniques as soon as possible, while also accumulating Fist Technique Talent to upgrade it to the Intermediate level.

According to the current pattern, once the Fist Technique Talent was stacked to Beginner +10, it could be upgraded to Intermediate Talent, and then he could be considered a fist technique genius.

Today was another day for exchanging martial arts.

Lin Yun still enjoyed this kind of activity, after all, he could create several tasks each time.

However, with more and more of these exchanges, and Lin Yun overwhelming them every time, the difficulty of the tasks became lighter and lighter, and the rewards were not as generous as they were at the beginning.

But something was better than nothing. As his realm improved, as long as he could successfully create a task, the worst reward would be a third-grade elixir.

He arrived at the back mountain.

It was still the previous group of four.

Having had several exchanges already, the three of them didn't stand on ceremony and went straight into it.

Under Lin Yun's lead in the internal competition, Lin Dong and Lin Xia's progress was also very fast.

Lin Dong's Flowing Wind Body Technique had already reached the Grand Completion stage, and Lin Xia was also close to it.

Although Lin Yun hadn't deliberately practiced the Flowing Wind Body Technique, he was also close to reaching the Perfected stage.

In terms of the Immemorial Fingerprint, Lin Yun and Lin Dong had both completely mastered the first style.

Each style of the Immemorial Fingerprint could be regarded as a separate martial art. Lin Yun's first style had reached the Grand Completion stage, while Lin Dong had barely reached the Minor Success stage.

As for Lin Xia, under the guidance of Lin Yun and Lin Dong, after a month, she had also successfully gained entry and could barely perform it.

The second imprint was more difficult.

Since it had reached the level of a fourth-grade martial art, it was very difficult to cultivate. In addition to the more complicated hand seals, the main point was the requirement for Yuan Power.

Just practicing it once would consume nearly one-third of their Yuan Power, and it wasn't even successful every time.

This consumption was obviously not conducive to Lin Yun increasing his proficiency.

Therefore, Lin Yun didn't deliberately practice it, but slowed it down for the time being and waited until he broke through to the ninth level of Body Tempering before trying again.

At this stage, practicing martial arts below the third grade was the most effective.

Lin Dong seemed to want to find another way to surpass Lin Yun in the Immemorial Fingerprint, so he spent more time on the second imprint of the Immemorial Fingerprint.

However, the second imprint was too difficult, and it was difficult for him to master it in a short time.

On the other hand, in terms of fist techniques, Lin Dong might really be suitable for the Ancient Ang Fist. He had already cultivated it to the Grand Completion stage. When exchanging blows with Lin Yun, he actually relied on the Ancient Ang Fist's sharp and diverse attack methods to fight back and forth with Lin Yun. Of course, this was on the premise that Lin Yun secretly controlled his strength.

If Lin Yun burst out with all his strength, breaking all techniques with brute force, Lin Dong's sharp and diverse attacks would be just flashy.

After the exchange, Lin Yun successfully obtained the reward of four bottles of third-grade elixirs.

His martial arts had entered a period of stability!

Now that the exchange was over, Lin Dong and Lin Xia were not in a hurry to go into seclusion to digest their gains.

Since it was still early, they planned to enter the forest for a hunting trial.

The Qingyang Hunting event was getting closer and closer, and they had to practice in advance.

With the current strength of the three of them, as long as they didn't encounter demonic beasts at the Earth Yuan realm level, even if they were at the ninth level of Body Tempering, they were confident that they could retreat unscathed.

And demonic beasts above the Earth Yuan realm level were rarely seen in the entire Qingyang Town area. The back mountain of the Lin family basically didn't have them, so they could safely go deeper.

Qing Tan was not afraid to follow them, and they could protect her.

Moreover, Qing Tan's strength was not too bad. Her Yuan Power was improving very quickly, and she was about to break through to the seventh level of Body Tempering, giving her a certain degree of self-protection.

Deep in the forest, the three of them practiced together, with the purpose of training, specifically targeting demonic beasts above the sixth level of Body Tempering.

After solving seven or eight demonic beasts, they finally encountered a challenging fellow.

It was a fierce tiger with mottled fur and scarlet eyes.

It was between two connected towering trees, where the roots intersected, forming a root-like cave, which was obviously its nest.

"Scarlet-Eyed Tiger, judging by its size, it's already an adult, and its strength is comparable to the eighth level of Body Tempering. Its strength is extremely great and its speed is fast. In a one-on-one fight, even the ninth level of Body Tempering may not be able to take it down. What do you think, do you want to try?" Lin Xia sized up the Scarlet-Eyed Tiger, eager to try.

She and Lin Dong were now at the peak of the seventh level of Body Tempering, only one step away from the eighth level. They needed actual combat to stimulate them, and this Scarlet-Eyed Tiger was just a good opponent.

"I think we can try!" Lin Dong agreed.

"Then let's begin. You two attack, I'll support you, and Qing Tan will be responsible for guarding the surroundings," Lin Yun immediately arranged.

He also knew that the two of them were on the verge of breaking through and needed this kind of trial with a sense of pressure, so he gave the opportunity to the two of them.

As for him, he just needed a task.

[Task: Cooperate with Lin Xia and Lin Dong to hunt down the Scarlet-Eyed Tiger. Reward: A bottle of fourth-grade Yuan Qi Pills.]

"Fourth-grade elixirs, not bad, not bad." Seeing the reward, Lin Yun was very satisfied.

After breaking through to the eighth level of Body Tempering, the effects of third-grade elixirs gradually weakened for him, while fourth-grade elixirs were just right.

Lin Dong and Lin Xia approached from two directions.

When they got within about a hundred meters, the Crimson-Eyed Tiger discovered them.

"Roar!"

The Crimson-Eyed Tiger roared angrily and pounced towards Lin Xia.

Lin Xia didn't dare to directly meet the Crimson-Eyed Tiger's claws head-on, and quickly used the Flowing Wind Body Technique to dodge behind the trees.

Lin Dong immediately chased after it, launching an attack from behind.

Soon, the two humans and the tiger were engaged in a fierce battle.

"Spirit Sword Finger!"

"Roaring Fist!"

In terms of strength, they were still inferior to the Crimson-Eyed Tiger, but relying on the Flowing Wind Body Technique, they moved around, making the Crimson-Eyed Tiger quite uncomfortable.

At this stage of their combat, they mainly relied on unarmed fighting.

This was mainly because the Yuan Power in the Body Tempering Realm was not strong enough, and they could only barely release Yuan Power outwards, making it difficult to extend the Yuan Power to weapons. Therefore, using weapons would not allow them to exert their true strength.

Generally, they would only start practicing with weapons after reaching the Earth Yuan Realm.

Lin Yun wandered within five meters of the battle circle, a distance from which he could strike at any time.

It was also because of Lin Yun's presence that the Crimson-Eyed Tiger had to focus some of its attention on Lin Yun. The keen intuition of a demon beast told it that this man was very dangerous.

Because it was worried that this schemer might suddenly attack and ambush it from behind, the Crimson-Eyed Tiger was unable to concentrate on dealing with Lin Dong and Lin Xia.

However, after all, it was a demon beast at the eighth level of Body Tempering, even so, it put a lot of pressure on Lin Dong and Lin Xia.

Several times, if the two hadn't relied on their agile movements, they would have already been seriously injured by its tiger paws.

As time passed, after a long and fierce battle, the Crimson-Eyed Tiger finally couldn't bear this stifling situation and took a risk. While fighting with the two, it dodged and moved closer to Lin Yun, launching a surprise attack first, pouncing over.

It seemed to know that this man was the greatest threat, and if it didn't get rid of him, it wouldn't be able to escape today.

"Mountain Shock Fist!"

Lin Yun lowered his body and slid, passing the Crimson-Eyed Tiger, and punched it directly in the abdomen.

The shock effect from the Mountain Shock Fist directly sent this big guy, weighing four or five hundred pounds, flying six or seven meters.

Copper head, iron bones, tofu waist!

The Crimson-Eyed Tiger was not feeling well after this. Its internal organs were shaken, and it staggered as it got up, its combat power already halved.

Lin Xia and Lin Dong took advantage of the situation and finished it off.

"Phew, finally solved it. We still needed you to take action, Lin Yun. Otherwise, the two of us would have fought until we were exhausted," Lin Xia said, taking a deep breath.

At this moment, the two of them were already drenched in sweat.

The battle just now was highly intense, and it was not easy.

Lin Yun said, "Clean up. This Crimson-Eyed Tiger should be worth a lot of money."

"Master, I sense the aura of a spiritual herb," Chi Ling suddenly transmitted.

"Spiritual herb?"

Lin Yun's eyes lit up. Chi Ling actually had this ability.

"Master, I am an alchemy furnace, and I am very sensitive to the aura of spiritual herbs. Within a certain range, as long as there is a spiritual herb, I can sense it. The stronger the spiritual herb, the more obvious my sense will be. This time, it is at least a fourth-grade spiritual herb. Look for it, it's in the direction of those two trees."

Chi Ling explained to Lin Yun somewhat proudly. It was born to deal with spiritual herbs, and searching for spiritual herbs was its innate talent.

Lin Yun walked towards the direction of the two trees, wandering around the trees to search. Soon, he found a special plant under the roots between the two trees.

Lin Xia and the others also noticed Lin Yun's movements. Seeing him stop between the two trees, they all gathered around.

"Wow, it's a Wood Spirit Mushroom, a fourth-grade spiritual herb!"

Qing Tan said in surprise. Because she often collected herbs, she knew many spiritual herbs.

"Lin Yun, how did you know there was a spiritual herb here?" Lin Dong asked curiously.

"Generally speaking, there will be spiritual herbs around the nests of powerful demon beasts. I was just trying to find it, but I didn't expect there to be one. This is a surprise," Lin Yun explained calmly.

The Wood Spirit Mushroom was a common trophy. Although Lin Yun wanted to take it for himself to make pills, he still held back.

Common trophies should be shared together.

He didn't lack a spiritual herb now.

Moreover, knowing that Chi Ling could find spiritual herbs, Lin Yun decided that he could find opportunities to come out and search alone in the future.

After this intense battle, Lin Xia and Lin Dong were also exhausted. They took the Crimson-Eyed Tiger and the Wood Spirit Mushroom and returned to the Lin family.

The four gathered in Lin Yun's courtyard, stewed tiger meat with the Wood Spirit Mushroom, and had a delicious meal.

After absorbing the medicinal power of the fourth-grade spiritual herb, Lin Dong and Lin Xia actually broke through to the eighth level of Body Tempering together.

This made the two of them extremely surprised.

"It seems that internal competition is still effective!" Lin Yun thought to himself.

During this period of time, the two of them were immersed in martial arts. The high-intensity training allowed the two of them to have the conditions for a breakthrough long ago, and now it was just a natural result.

Lin Dong and Lin Xia had both broken through to the seventh level of Body Tempering before Lin Yun, so it was normal to catch up with Lin Yun now.

However, the speed at which the two broke through to the eighth level was obviously earlier than the time in the original work.

This should have been influenced by him. Lin Dong and Lin Xia were both very competitive in their cultivation, not only with him, but also with each other, and Qing Tan, a rising star, was also very competitive with Lin Yun's help.

With Lin Yun in front, each other in the middle, and Qing Tan behind, the two of them were under a lot of pressure.

Progress is a good thing.

After the breakthrough, the four of them ate even more deliciously!
