Chapter 7: Body Tempering

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

On the ground lay a fiery red fruit that fell out the moment the Five-Colored Spirit Tail Sparrow died. The entire fruit was shaped like a peach, and its color was round and red. It emitted waves of fragrance and heat.

The moment Xiao Shi saw this fruit, information about the fruit immediately appeared in his vision.

[Name: Flame Phoenix Fruit]

[Type: Treasures of Heaven and Earth]

[Grade: Martial Entry-Level]

[Introduction: A strange fruit born in a hot place. It blooms in a hundred years and bears fruit in a hundred years. It contains flames.]

[Remark: Please use it carefully, don’t get yourself burned.]

...

“Treasures of Heaven and Earth!”

Xiao Shi’s eyes lit up. He carefully picked up the Flame Phoenix Fruit from the ground. As soon as he touched it, he felt the high temperature of the fruit. Even with his Martial Entry-Level Four cultivation, he still felt that it was hot to hold in his hand.

The high temperature of the fruit mainly came from within. Up close, Xiao Shi could vaguely see a flame inside the fruit.

Xiao Shi knew very little about the natural treasures of this world and did not know the specific effects of this fruit. It was also not mentioned in the introduction.

Although natural treasures often brought about improvements, this Flame Phoenix Fruit gave him a very different feeling. He felt that this fruit contained danger!

The danger came mainly from the flames inside.

With Xiao Shi’s steady personality, it was naturally impossible for him to eat the fruit before he figured it out. He decided to ask Elder Qiu tomorrow. He believed that with Elder Qiu’s experience, he would definitely be able to provide an answer.

Early the next morning, Xiao Shi brought the wine to the forest where the Five-Colored Spirit Tail Sparrows were raised. He gave all the wine in his hand to Elder Qiu, indicating that this was the last few pots of wine in his hands.

He took this opportunity to ask Elder Qiu.

“Elder Qiu, have you heard of a natural treasure called the Flame Phoenix Fruit?”

“Flame Phoenix Fruit?” Elder Qiu was in a good mood. He picked up his wine cup and took a small sip. His face was filled with satisfaction and comfort. He thought for a moment and said, “Of course I know. The Flame Phoenix Fruit is an extremely rare heavenly treasure. Usually, it will only be born in hot places. This fruit has a very strong body tempering effect. It’s said that there’s a ball of flame inside the fruit. It’s the key to body tempering.”

“Body tempering?” Xiao Shi was stunned.

“Body tempering is a special cultivation method. It mainly focuses on cultivating the body, but it’s different from cultivating in the Martial Entry-Level.

“As you know, there’s a limit to the cultivation of the Martial Entry-Level. When you reach the ninth stage of the Martial Entry-Level, you’ll reach the limit of your physical body. At that time, your physical body can’t continue to improve.

“But there’s no limit to body tempering. It can be continuously strengthened without end. Not only can it strengthen the body to be comparable to the Qi Martial Realm and the Blood Martial Realm, but it can even surpass the Blood Martial Realm and reach a more terrifying level!

“Because in theory, there is no limit to body tempering.”

Xiao Shi was shocked.

He knew that the strength of a Martial Entry-Level martial artist mainly depended on the strength of the body. However, at the Qi Martial Realm and the Blood Martial Realm, it no longer depended on physical strength.

Elder Qiu’s powerful ability to make the Five-Colored Spirit Tail Sparrow fall from the sky with a single glance was far from what his physical strength could resist.

That was another level of power.

However, the body under body tempering could reach the level of the Qi Martial Realm or even the Blood Martial Realm!

In theory, he could even surpass it!

This was terrifying.

“Isn’t this endless improvement invincible?” Xiao Shi could not help but ask.

“In theory, it can indeed be invincible, but it’s only in theory.” Elder Qiu shook his head. He suddenly felt that pouring wine for himself was a little lacking in style, so he placed the wine cup on the table and glanced at Xiao Shi.

Xiao Shi immediately understood. He took the initiative to pour wine for Elder Qiu.

“Kid, you’re quite enlightened.” Elder Qiu was very satisfied and continued. “Real body tempering is very different from theoretical body tempering. The conditions for body tempering are extremely harsh.

“First of all, you need a body with a certain level of strength. For example, your current physical strength doesn’t meet the requirements. You have to cultivate to at least Martial Entry-Level Five to qualify!

“Secondly, body tempering requires a lot of resources, especially Treasures of the Heaven and Earth, like the Flame Phoenix Fruit you mentioned just now. However, such treasures are extremely rare, and it’s very difficult to find one in the entire Seven Star Province. Without these treasures, how can one temper body?

“Lastly, the cultivation technique.

“After reaching a certain level of body tempering, you still need to have a corresponding body tempering cultivation technique. If you don’t have a cultivation technique, it’s useless even if you have suitable natural treasures.

“There are even fewer body tempering techniques than those natural treasures, especially the body tempering techniques in Blood Martial Realm. They only exist in legends. It’s unknown if there’s really a Blood Martial Realm body tempering technique.

“At least in our Seven Star Province, there has never been anyone who has reached the Blood Martial Realm in body tempering. There have never been more than five people who have reached the Qi Martial Realm in body refining.

“Therefore, it’s impossible to be invincible in reality. Being able to cultivate to the Qi Martial Realm is basically the limit. Burp!” Elder Qiu burped.

Xiao Shi suddenly understood. He finally understood.

Generally speaking, the difficulty of body tempering was mainly in natural treasures and cultivation techniques. These two items were extremely rare. It was already very difficult to obtain one, let alone obtain both at the same time.

“Actually, you don’t have to think too much about it. There are very few people in this world who have the ability to temper their bodies. You might not even meet one in your life. Those who have the ability to temper their bodies are often people with great statuses and backgrounds. Ordinary people won’t have such an opportunity.

“After all, some heavenly treasures might only appear once every few thousand years or even tens of thousands of years. In the end, they often fall into the hands of those big shots. And body tempering cultivation techniques require even more fortuitous encounters and luck.”

Elder Qiu yawned and looked sleepy.

Seeing this, Xiao Shi immediately knew not to disturb him and left.

On the way back, his mind was still echoing with the matters regarding body tempering. It was indeed very difficult for ordinary people to have the chance to temper their bodies.

The conditions were too harsh. But he was different! His 100% chance of dropping treasures had a chance of dropping heavenly treasures and cultivation techniques.

No matter how rare a heavenly treasure was, it could still drop.

It was the same for body tempering techniques. As long as they existed, there was a chance of them dropping.

...

From all aspects, body tempering was a very suitable path for him. As long as he killed them and kept dropping treasures and body tempering techniques, he might not be invincible in theory, but he would at least have a chance to reach the limit of reality!

Xiao Shi’s heart burned with passion. He decided that after breaking through to Martial Entry-Level Five, he would immediately use the Flame Phoenix Fruit in his hand to temper his body.

At the Martial Entry-Level, body tempering did not require cultivation techniques. He did not have to worry about the cultivation technique for the time being. As long as his physical strength met the requirements for body tempering, he could immediately start body tempering!
