Lin Mu observed ng Bai's body, which had changed significantly from before.
Even though his muscles and organs had not been refined, the purification of his ridians and Dantian had brought about a profound effect on his body. He could breathe better, and all his cells were thrumming with energy as if rejoicing with excitent.
His core had also undergone a transformation, changing from a pure white color to a translucent crystalline form. It now resembled a brilliant diamond, sparkling even at the smallest mote of light.
"This should be enough," Lin Mu muttered as he lifted his hands.
ng Bai had no idea that he had just obtained an opportunity that many would kill for. It was sothing that even Peak Immortals would find difficult to achieve, yet Lin Mu had done it with his deep knowledge of the human body. As a dual body and Qi cultivator, there was no one better suited to understanding how such refinents could work.
His control over his Qi was exceptional, as was his command over multiple elents and vital energy. Additionally, his expertise in the Boulder and Mountain Collapsing Fist technique required absolute mastery over multiple energies. It was this experience that proved invaluable in refining ng Bai's body.
The combination of all these factors had allowed Lin Mu to purify ng Bai's body to an extraordinary degree. The man now possessed a level of talent akin to soone born with a high-ranked bloodline or a unique physique. He would face no bottlenecks in his cultivation until the Immortal Realm, and his progress would remain smooth as long as he received proper guidance.
Lin Mu had initially planned to perform this refinent later when the opportunity was right, but it had co earlier than expected.
"Though his body was a lot more conducive to the change than I expected," Lin Mu thought to himself. "I was fully prepared for so level of resistance from his body and ridians."
As he pondered the reason behind this unexpected ease, he realized it was likely due to the Great Qi Sea cultivation technique that ng Bai practiced. This technique was neutral and compatible with most others, which allowed it to integrate well with various thods of cultivation. Furthermore, there was also an innate potential within ng Bai that contributed to this seamless transformation.
However, this was not the only revelation Lin Mu had.
Having infused multiple elental energies into ng Bai's body, he inadvertently discovered the young man's innate elental affinity.
"To think he would have an affinity for the Water elent," Lin Mu muttered to himself.
Water was the one Mortal elent to which Lin Mu had the least affinity at the ti. Even in the Immortal Realm, his affinity for it remained relatively low, despite improvents brought about by cultivating the Omniscore Ascendancy and forming his Water Core. However, when compared to most others, his Water affinity was still at a level that would put them to sha.
Moreover, Lin Mu had cultivated the Five Treasures Realm and consud the flesh of the Glacial Shell Snail. While this did not grant him an affinity for the Water elent, it did provide him with so level of understanding in the Spirit Realm.
Without these combined factors, no one else would have been able to replicate what Lin Mu had done.
Of course, Lin Mu had limits, too. If ng Bai had already reached the Immortal Realm, this refinent would not have been possible. By that stage, his foundation would have beco too rigid to undergo such purification, and the accumulated impurities would have settled permanently. Only exceedingly rare and valuable purification elixirs would be capable of aiding such a process at that point.
"Hmm… The training plan will have to be adjusted after this, I suppose," Lin Mu muttered, reflecting on his newfound knowledge.
ng Bai's affinity for the Water elent was a significant advantage. It was not only beneficial for his cultivation but also held potential applications in formations.
"If he can gain better control over the Water elent, he will be able to regulate the flow of ink more efficiently. That would make it easier for him to create talismans," Lin Mu analyzed. "Though for other types of formations, he will still need more effort."
This ant that the initial part of his plan—to improve ng Bai's handwriting—remained unchanged. The boy would not be getting off easy anyti soon.
"Ugh…"
While Lin Mu was lost in thought, ng Bai stirred awake. He let out a groan and rose from the ground, feeling strangely refreshed. However, despite his physical revitalization, a lingering ntal fatigue from the terrifying events earlier still clung to him.
Blinking a few tis, he tried to gather his bearings as the scene before him ca into focus.
"Daoist Lin Mu?" ng Bai uttered, confusion evident in his tone.
He was disoriented, unsure of where he was or what had happened.
"Are you okay?" Lin Mu asked.
"I think so… But what happened earlier?" ng Bai asked before his gaze shifted behind Lin Mu.
As he craned his neck, his eyes fell upon the towering figure that had filled him with soul-crushing terror.
"Beast!" he shouted in alarm.
"It's fine," Lin Mu quickly reassured him, anticipating another possible fainting spell. "That's my tad beast."
"Little Shrubby," he called out.
The massive beast tilted its head before shrinking down into a more 'tolerable' size. However, even at its reduced stature, Little Shrubby was still as large as a full-grown tiger—an imposing presence that would easily terrify most people.
"Tad beast?" ng Bai repeated, disbelief evident in his voice. The idea that Lin Mu was also a beast tar had not even crossed his mind. Yet now that he thought about it, it did not seem that strange.
With Little Shrubby's size reduced and his aura restrained, the beast no longer radiated the suffocating pressure from before. This made it easier for ng Bai to perceive him as sothing less monstrous.
"This is Little Shrubby," Lin Mu introduced. "My first tad beast."
