Lin Wu could see that Shirong's physique was starting to change. He started losing body mass at a rapid pace and became thinner and thinner. The more mass he lost, the better his condition was getting according to the system. 

It also seemed like the amount of vital essence in his body was increasing with the loss in his body mass. Lin Wu couldn't make heads or tails about this situation and found it to be rather strange. About ten minutes later, Shirong had become thin as a stick, having his ribs and bones show prominently.

If anyone else saw him, they would think he had been starving for many days, but according to what Lin Wu could sense, his body was rich in vital essence and was packed with it.

"So it's finally complete, but what did he exactly do? He increased his body tempering realm cultivation and reached the peak. But what is this?" Lin Wu questioned as he looked at Shirong's body.

Lin Wu observed his internal condition with his spirit sense and found it to be better than before. 

'Huh? Did his dantian just increase in size?' Lin Wu wondered as he thought he was mistaken.

But when he compared it with the previous record in the system, it was indeed bigger than before, about 30% bigger. It was now that Lin Wu understood another benefit of the technique that Shirong had used. Not only did it push his body tempering realm cultivation to the peak, but it also expanded his dantian.

The benefit of a bigger dantian was quite obvious as the bigger the dantian, the more the spirit qi a cultivator would be able to store. This would make a cultivator that was in the same realm stronger than another cultivator just by the virtue of spirit qi capacity.

'Wait, wouldn't it become a bit more difficult for him to reach the nascent soul realm now?' Lin Wu wondered.

What Shirong had just done was comparable to raising the basic stat cap on a game character, even when levels were limited. Lin Wu checked his spirit core's capacity and the dantian size and realized that it was indeed true. 

"Hmm, now he will need to get more spirit qi. Though he isn't that far from it either, after all, I did give him a massive amount of spirit qi." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

Estimating the amount that was needed for him to break through again, Lin Wu thought that a handful of core condensation realm beasts must be enough.

~twitch~

Shirong who had been still for the most part finally moved, as his eyelids moved. His body was completely hairless, and he was thin as a stick. He would look strange as an alien if he walked back into the town. No longer did he had the handsome and charming looks of a young master.

Sharon's eyes snapped open as a Strong aura was emanated from him.

"HAHAHA! I SUCCEEDED! After five hundred years, I am the first!" Shirong shouted in joy.

He looked at his hands and body, finding it to be incredibly bony. He then touched his face and head, finding himself to be bald.

"The side effects were much stronger than it was recorded… Hmm, it shouldn't matter though they are temporary. I just need to cultivate a bit more and I should be back to normal." Shirong muttered to himself.

He looked around him and saw the remnants of the impurities that had been expelled by his body. The skin that had been shed was still there and so was the black tar like glob that was half absorbed by the ground. A foul smell was coming from both of the items, and Shirong felt like he really needed to take a bath. 

"Ugh, better get away from here first…" Shirong said to himself before standing up.

He extended his hand to the Immortal Crystal Armament that was pierced into the ground beside him and grasped it before pulling it out effortlessly.

"Oh? My physical strength increased by quite a bit…" Shirong said with surprise.

He had not used any spirit qi to strengthen his muscles, and yet he was able to pick up the spear rather easily. Even Lin Wu was surprised by this as he had not expected something like this to happen.

"Hmm… looks like in need to really get this technique that Shirong used, it seems quite powerful." Lin Wu decided.

"System, what's the progress on the new technique that Shirong used?" Lin Wu questioned.

~Ding~

——

ANSWER: The system has recorded all the qi circuits and methods used in the technique and has estimated a compatibility of 60% with the host. Further analysis of the technique along with modifications to suit the Host's physique will make the technique 100% compatible with the host.

——

"Alright, continue the analysis and tell me when it is done." Lin Wu replied.

Shirong took out the spirit sword and jumped on it before flying towards a small pond that he had seen before. It was already close to evening and the sun would be setting any minute now. He wanted to be done before that and then find a place to rest as well.

"I wonder by how much my aptitude rose…" Shirong muttered to himself.

About five minutes of flying later, he reached a small pond, and drinking from it were a couple of spirit beasts. Shirong approached them and they noticed him too. Both of them were at the peak stage of the qi refining realm and were scared, ready to escape.

But before they could do so,

~Shing~

The spear extended like a whip and slashed the two beasts in half, like a knife through butter. He then stabbed the spear into the corpses before absorbing the spirit qi from them.

"Hmm… the absorption speed has indeed increased. By about… ten percent I guess." Shirong analyzed.

He then took a bath quickly before taking out a set of clothes from the spatial storage bracelet and leaving the area.
