A Cunning Pervert in the Cultivation World Chapter 324: Body Tempering Path.

Only moments earlier,

Li Feng, Shui Ruo, and Tie Shan were seen dashing towards the location where the light had descended.

"Big Brother~ would you mind teaching me how to build such a perfect body like yours?"

Tie Shan grinned, rubbing his hands eagerly as they employed their movement techniques to speed along.

He gazed at Li Feng like he was beholding an ideal role model.

Li Feng appeared clearly irritated and ceased responding altogether.

It wasn't a refusal to share advice, but simply... he had no idea how.

His physique stemmed from a unique constitution, so telling this brawny simpleton to acquire one wasn't feasible, was it?

Letting out a sigh, he responded helplessly amid leaps through the treetops.

"I really don’t know."

Tie Shan remained unfazed by the reply and swiftly changed his approach.

"Then how about you join our Earth Dragon Sect, Big Brother Li? A Qi Refinement cultivator with a body already tempered to the Spirit Body realm is completely unheard of. You would definitely receive all the best resources from the sect!"

Upon hearing those words, Li Feng outright dismissed the suggestion.

First off, he required no assistance from anyone to grow stronger.

Even more crucially... his heart leaned towards the Azure Moon Sect.

It wasn't just his initial sect; Yue Lan, Fen Ziyan, and his recent master were there too.

Abandoning them was utterly impossible.

’It’s definitely not because the Azure Moon Sect has more beautiful fairies...’ Li Feng affirmed inwardly with determination, though he couldn't ignore the disparity in stunning fairies compared to other sects.

When it came to allure, he found himself yearning slightly for his passionate senior sister.

’No, once this affair concludes, I must absolutely conduct a month-long secluded cultivation with both senior sisters!’

Merely picturing a full month in a cave with an icy fairy and a blazing fairy nearly caused drool to form.

Such a scenario wasn't out of reach, given his mastery of a potent dual cultivation technique.

Li Feng envisioned Yue Lan's eyes sparkling upon discovering this.

Yet Tie Shan showed no signs of relenting.

To the Earth Dragon Sect, Li Feng represented a heavenly gem... an unprecedented marvel in their long history!

A Qi Refinement cultivator who had forged his body to the Spirit Body realm defied all precedents.

Body Tempering marked an archaic route mortals trod back when the Dao and genuine cultivation methods remained obscure.

This path proved brutally agonizing and arduous.

Not all individuals could harness spiritual energy for cultivation, with many lacking spiritual roots.

Nor did every locale boast spiritual veins or plentiful spiritual energy.

Hence, in areas barren of spiritual qi or utterly devoid of it, numerous mortal realms depended exclusively on Body Tempering to attain power.

The initial phase of Body Tempering, the Mortal Body Realm, was attainable by plenty of Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Following that came the Innate Body Realm, achievable by the majority of Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators.

The subsequent stage... the Spirit Body Realm, triggered a total metamorphosis of the physique.

It enabled cultivation for those sans spiritual roots, letting their bodies directly draw in spiritual energy without needing a root.

This realm embodied the ultimate aspiration for myriad mortals bereft of spiritual roots yet burning to cultivate.

Still, no mortal had ever attained it.

Even gifted cultivators faced immense hurdles in reaching the Spirit Body Realm.

Powerful Golden Core masters typically overlooked this route, as even they rarely managed to refine their bodies to the Spirit Body Realm.

It demanded grueling torment, with no assured triumph.

Thus, the Innate Body Realm became the common ceiling.

The primary cause Golden Core cultivators shunned the Spirit Body Realm boiled down to one thing... they had no need for it.

Their might was already fearsome, and devoting efforts to standard cultivation brought superior gains over that grueling, risky trail.

Moreover, despite the savage toil involved, the benefits fell short of expectations.

The Spirit Body Realm merely elevated the body to Golden Core cultivator strength, adding a modest lifespan extension via spiritual energy absorption... nothing more.

Therefore, for most Golden Core cultivators, pursuing mighty attack methods or arcane skills proved far more prudent.

So why did Tie Shan value Li Feng so immensely?

The Earth Dragon Sect stood fundamentally as a Body Tempering sect, despite its disciples being genuine cultivators as well.

They fused both paths together, forging cultivators that nobody dared confront up close.

Precisely for that reason, they grasped better than anyone the immense challenge of tempering one's body.

Even the Nascent Soul ancestors from the Earth Dragon Sect would clasp Li Feng's hand in profound respect upon witnessing his feats.

'I must tell Master about this!'

Tie Shan steeled his determination.

He wouldn't allow a body-tempering prodigy like this to keep associating with those frail-fleshed sects... particularly the Azure Moon Sect, which leaned heavily toward Yin over Yang and thus had far more women than men.

Right as he prepared to press on with persuading Li Feng, the trio arrived at the battlefield.

They stared at the chaotic battlefield in bewilderment.

Tie Shan quickly turned to the distant blade tempest, his eyes narrowing sharply.

"That's him—"

A sudden thunderous bellow rocked the ground, flooding the entire battlefield with blinding light.

"W-What?!"

Shui Ruo gasped in alarm, shielding her face.

Once the quaking ceased and the brilliance dimmed,

Li Feng was... gone.
