Who gave you permission to refine demons like this?

Liuyun Hall Dojo.

Lin Sheng and Cao Xingyi were fighting each other.

clang!

The wooden sword struck the spear, producing a distinct metallic clanging sound.

Cao Xing blocked the attack, then used the momentum to swing his long spear, the wooden spear whistling through the air as it swept straight towards them.

Seeing the gleaming spearhead, Lin Sheng dared not take it head-on. He sheathed his sword and dodged, but then he saw the spear shift and Cao Xing twist his wrist, thrusting straight at him.

Lin Sheng blocked with his sword, but with a loud thud, he was knocked back several steps, his wrist going numb.

As Lin Sheng stepped forward again with his sword, the spear instantly closed in on him. Lin Sheng unleashed his power, turned around, and slashed several times in succession, the tip of his sword almost grazing Cao Xing's wrist.

But then Lin Sheng saw the gun barrel smashing towards him, hitting his chest with force.

The ironwood-made knives and spears were no lighter than metal, and this blow made Lin Sheng gasp in pain.

"Hiss, senior brother, I've never seen that move before. Who throws a gun like that?"

Lin Sheng stopped rubbing his chest; it was time for his training session to end today.

Cao Xingyi flicked the spear with his toe, placing it back in his hand and chuckled, "Junior brother, don't be rigid in your moves. Remember, your goal is to defeat or even kill your opponent."

"You must integrate the techniques into your purpose; this will make your swordsmanship more flexible without losing its essence."

"Understood."

After channeling a wisp of profound energy into Lin Sheng's body, Cao Xingyi said, "Your body has recovered quite well. You can spar with me now. How many times have you used the True Qi Elixir?"

"I've used it three times, and each time I counted down the days until the next time. Now I've used it for the fourth time."

Cao Xing nodded: "Then it seems the recovery is going well. Are there any signs of a breakthrough?"

"The radiance contained in the blood is becoming more and more obvious, and the amount of primordial energy that can be generated spontaneously is also increasing. I estimate that it won't be long before I break through."

After examining Lin Sheng's internal condition, Cao Xingyi had a general idea of ​​what was going on. He said, "Good, then you can start practicing the Dragon Tiger Internal Breath Technique. With your current physique, you can slowly practice the first level."

"Okay, I'll go pick it up today."

Lin Sheng was happy that he could finally begin body tempering.

In fact, he had wanted to go and receive the cultivation technique immediately after absorbing the spiritual liquid for the first time, but Cao Xingyi suggested that he wait a few days for his body to recover before going.

So I waited a while longer to allow my body to recover.

Under the effects of Zhenghui Lingye and Fengyu Dan, Lin Sheng's condition gradually improved. Wang Heng, who initially came to check on him every day, gradually reduced it to once every two days, then once every three days, and now only once every four days.

The medicine given to Lin Sheng gradually became normal, no longer having the strange smell and appearance it had before.

"By the way, there's something you need to know," Cao Xingyi interrupted Lin Sheng, who was still lost in thought.

"I reckon the people from the Martial Arts Bureau will be coming in the next few days to question you about the campsite incident. You need to be extra careful."

"Just answer truthfully about what you know and what you don't know. We are familiar with the Wude Division, and they will understand."

"Okay," Lin Sheng replied, keeping the matter in mind.

He then bid farewell to Cao Xing and headed to the camp.

Now that he has fully recovered, Lin Sheng has resumed his work at the camp, processing and recording materials related to demons.

Today I wanted to ask my master to take a look at my physical condition, but he wasn't there. So Cao Xingyi, who was at the dojo, suggested we use sparring to assess my health.

Having obtained the answer they wanted, they naturally rushed to the campsite without delay.

Upon arriving at the Peach Garden campsite, Lin Sheng rushed to his post, took out the white jade token, and handed it to the person in charge of the magic.

"Oh, Lin Suling, Ma Sucheng told me about it."

"Alright, go get it. The Pure Blood Realm cultivation manual is on the second floor, don't go up there."

Once the other party accepted the token, they continued to draw up the things that needed to be verified.

"I already have a preferred cultivation method. Could you please tell me the location of the 'Dragon and Tiger Internal Breathing Technique'?"

"This book."

Without thinking, he replied, "Second floor, two shelves, two rows, two books."

Lin Sheng raised an eyebrow: "So fast."

"Hey, Lin Su didn't just bring you to borrow this cultivation manual. Many people have borrowed it, but at most they've only reached the initial stage of the second level."

"Many people come here for the dragon tendons and tiger bones, but those who lack the aptitude and ability cannot advance further. So I simply changed to a more convenient spot to take notes."

"Lin Suling, you need to think this through carefully. Once you choose this cultivation technique, you can't change it."

"Okay, I'll take a closer look."

That's what they say, but Lin Sheng knows his own situation. Since his master and senior brother both said that he could give it a shot at the third level, he would definitely give it a try.

Lin Sheng stepped into the room and saw rows of bookshelves in front of him, each with cultivation techniques on it.

However, he knew that these were all techniques applicable to cultivators who had not yet entered the realm, while those for the Pure Blood Realm were all on the second floor.

As you climb the stairs to the second floor, the bookshelves suddenly become much smaller, with only six shelves remaining. Lin Sheng headed towards the second shelf and quickly retrieved the book, "Dragon Tiger Inner Breath Technique."

He also browsed other cultivation methods, including those previously recommended by Zhao Fengnian and Cao Xingyi, but none of them could compare to the "Dragon and Tiger Internal Breathing Technique".

"It is no wonder that the cultivation method produced by the Daoist sect, which is among the best in the world, is truly outstanding."

Just as he was about to leave, he saw the stairs leading to the upper level. He guessed that the Jade Life Realm cultivation method was probably at the top, but he didn't know if there were any more beyond that.

"Having this cultivation manual is already quite good."

"Let's explore the rest of the area later."

Lin Sheng happily took the cultivation manual downstairs to copy it.

Seeing the choice in Lin Sheng's hand as he walked out of the room, the other party simply shook his head and said no more.

After receiving the cultivation manual, Lin Sheng naturally began to practice, but he still needed to complete his work for the day.

On the way, he encountered Wu Rang, who was waving to him.

"What's wrong with Mr. Wu?"

Wu Rang looked Lin Sheng up and down: "You've recovered very quickly. Apart from cultivator Zhao Fengnian and you, everyone else has only just been able to circulate their profound qi."

"I am only grateful for the care and hospitality of the hostel and fellow Daoist Wang Heng."

"We should be grateful for your care, otherwise we wouldn't have so many medicinal herbs to use."

After exchanging pleasantries, Wu Rang got down to business and handed a cloth bag to Lin Sheng.

"This is..." Lin Sheng opened the cloth bag, which contained silver.

"Your monthly salary, plus the compensation you're entitled to for working the whole night, has been delayed because you've been recuperating and haven't been able to collect it. So I've come to give it to you today."

"Isn't that too much?"

Lin Sheng asked, clutching the slightly bulging cloth bag.

He knew he had only been there a short time, and the number of times he had worked a full night shift was very limited, so he shouldn't be getting so much money each month.

"These decisions were made jointly by Ma Sucheng and me. You are receiving the compensation you deserve, and no one will gossip about it."

Wu Rang patted Lin Sheng on the shoulder, indicating that Lin Sheng could rest assured.

Lin Sheng accepted it.

After exchanging a few words with Wu Rang, they parted ways, and he began to handle his own work.

Lin Sheng worked efficiently, and as soon as he finished, he took out the copied cultivation manual and began to browse through it.

After a moment, he couldn't help but say, "This technique is really interesting."
