Body Tempering Eighth Level

Since Xie Feng broke through to the Inner Qi Realm, he had considered opening a Martial Arts School in Dingyuan County.

Unfortunately, they were boycotted by the Martial Arts Schools within the county town, making it difficult to develop.

The reason Xie Jingjiang and Xie Song went to the county town this time was the news that the county town's auction house had Qi Gathering Pills for sale.

They took most of the Martial Arts School's savings and wanted to try to compete for them.

Unfortunately, they couldn't compete in terms of money, and even if they had wanted to resort to dirty tricks, they wouldn't have been able to defeat them.

The two were unwilling to give up and stayed in the county town for more than half a month, hoping to find other opportunities.

After half a month, they found nothing and finally returned to Qingyan Town.

To break through to Inner Qi, they could only rely on themselves.

How could that be easy!

As for Qingfeng Mountain, Xie Jingyun had not yet broken through to Inner Qi, so how could she provide them with support?

Xie Jingyun was eighteen years old and at the ninth level of Body Tempering.

If she couldn't break through in another two years, she would be driven down the mountain to work for the sect.

Managing industries for the sect and earning resources.

Now, they needed to see if they could get some support from here.

The path of martial arts is difficult, and for most people, Inner Qi is already the peak.

Chen Qinglin occasionally asked his master, Xie Feng, if someone who had reached the peak of the ninth level of Body Tempering, possessing ten thousand jin of strength, could achieve even greater power.

Although Xie Feng didn't understand his young disciple's thoughts and just thought it was his curiosity, he still patiently answered him.

The Body Tempering Realm is actually a process of building the foundation for martial arts.

In the major martial arts sects, some prodigies are nurtured by various heavenly treasures from birth.

When they start practicing martial arts at the age of 12, they can directly skip the Body Tempering Realm and cultivate directly from the Inner Qi Realm.

The ultimate strength of the Body Tempering Realm is ten thousand jin.

It is said that in ancient times, there was no Body Tempering Realm.

It was the martial arts sages who, feeling the difficulty of human cultivation, created Body Tempering techniques to make it easier for humans to enter the path of martial arts.

As time passed, the Body Tempering techniques were optimized generation after generation with human cultivation, allowing humans to reach the limit of this realm.

Which is ten thousand jin.

Body Tempering - Inner Qi - True Essence Condensation - Embracing Origin - Spirit Aperture - Dharma Form... are the cultivation realms of this era.

And the most powerful martial artists in Great Xuan are all in the Spirit Aperture Realm.

These people are the foundations of sects, royalty, and great families; they are truly ancestor-level figures.

The most powerful person Xie Feng had ever met was only in the True Essence Condensation Realm.

He only learned of the power of such figures through storytellers in the martial arts world.

Destroying mountains and rocks, diverting rivers, flying through the sky and escaping through the earth.

Doing things that ordinary people cannot imagine.

Chen Qinglin yearned for such a realm and practiced martial arts even harder every day.

Autumn turned to winter, and the weather gradually grew colder.

Four months had passed since they returned from hunting the tiger in Linhe Village.

Chen Qinglin joined the Martial Arts School in the summer, and now it was November.

The year-end martial arts competition was set for mid-November every year, and it was almost time.

Xie Feng instructed them to prepare their things.

They would depart in advance tomorrow and head to Dingyuan County.

Sitting idly in the courtyard of the Martial Arts School, he and Chen Qingshi had already moved in.

They had given up the small courtyard they had before.

Chen Qinglin, uncharacteristically, was not practicing martial arts. He sat in the courtyard watching Chen Qingshi practice his punches.

He sat there with a vacant gaze, his thoughts long gone, far away from the surrounding hustle and bustle.

Realm: Body Tempering Eighth Level
Skills: Archery (Mastered 10000/10000), Iron Wire Fist (Mastered 33/10000), Iron Sword Art (Mastered 3585/10000)

In four months, Chen Qinglin did not get distracted by practicing other martial arts.

His cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching Body Tempering eighth level, with a strength of about seven thousand jin.

Among his fellow disciples, he was only second to the senior disciple, Xie Jingjiang.

Body Tempering Realm cultivation:

Initial Body Tempering first level, strength reaches 150 jin;

Body Tempering second level, 300 jin; Body Tempering third level, 500 jin;

Body Tempering fourth level, 1000 jin; Body Tempering fifth level, 2000 jin;

Body Tempering sixth level, 3000 jin; Body Tempering seventh level, 5000 jin;

Body Tempering eighth level, 7000 jin; Body Tempering ninth level, a full 10000 jin.

As for actual combat effectiveness, influencing factors include realm, martial skills, weapons, and so on.

Therefore, although there was still some gap in strength compared to Body Tempering ninth level.

With the addition of his perfected swordplay, senior disciple Xie Jingjiang was no longer his opponent.

The reason he wasn't practicing martial arts today.

Was because after reaching perfection in Archery and having no further room for improvement, Chen Qinglin had a strange feeling.

But he couldn't grasp it, and felt a bit agitated.

Coupled with the fact that he had to set off for Dingyuan County tomorrow, Chen Qinglin simply didn't practice martial arts.

In these past few months, Chen Qingshi's fist techniques had reached the proficient level, and his realm had also reached Body Tempering second level.

However, his sword art had been slow to get started. Even with Chen Qinglin's guidance.

Perhaps he truly lacked talent in this area.

On a winter morning before the snow, sunlight filtered through the clouds and branches, casting dappled patterns on the grass.

A cold wind swept by, carrying away the last vestiges of autumn's desolation.

On the official road from Qingyan Town to Dingyuan County, a convoy of carriages slowly approached.

"Master, didn't you say there would be bandits on the road to Dingyuan County? We've been traveling for two days and haven't encountered anything."

"Bandits also use their brains. Those heading to the county town at this time are basically masters and disciples from various Martial Arts Schools. They naturally wouldn't provoke them."

It was the Iron Sword Martial Arts School group.

Xie Jingjiang, Jiang Zhong, and Lin Hua's two disciples were here to participate in the second round of martial arts contests, while Chen Qinglin and his brother were participating in the first.

To be honest, Chen Qinglin participating in the first round was a complete mismatch.

Chen Qingshi was just going through the motions; Xie Feng didn't expect him to achieve anything, he just wanted him to see the world.

"Qinglin, why do you think the county yamen doesn't eliminate these bandits, allowing them to rob and harm the people?"

"Junior disciple Qingshi, I can tell you about this." Xie Jingjiang took over the conversation and explained to Chen Qingshi:

"It's not that the county yamen allows the bandits to operate, but the Qingyan Mountain Range is too vast. Whenever the county yamen organizes bandit suppression, these bandits always hide deep in the mountains."

"They never achieve much, and after a while, these bandits reappear."

"The county yamen has also issued wanted posters, welcoming heroes from all walks of life. If they kill any of those bandits, they can claim bounties from the yamen with their heads."

Within the Qingyan Mountain Range, there were not only bandits in the Body Tempering Realm, but also more than one in the Inner Qi Realm.

Dingyuan County was located in a remote area without any True Essence Condensation Realm martial artists, and it had gradually become a scourge over the years.

Under the setting sun, the group finally saw the city gates.

Sunlight shone on the city gates, making them gleam. The brass studs and decorations on the gates sparkled in the sun.

Flanking the city gates were tall walls covered in moss and vines, exuding an ancient and solemn aura.

Beneath the city gates, merchants and pedestrians bustled back and forth, creating a scene of bustling activity.

Inside the city gates, the plaza was filled with all sorts of stalls, with cries of vendors rising and falling, and the sounds of noise intermingling, creating a scene of great prosperity.

Upon arriving at the martial arts competition venue, a maid led them through a series of courtyards to their accommodation arranged for the Iron Sword Martial Arts School.

The adjacent courtyard was already occupied by people; it was a Martial Arts School that had arrived earlier than them, and Xie Feng clearly knew them.

Xie Feng went up to greet them, and after a brief exchange of pleasantries, he led his group back to their rooms.

Having traveled for several days, everyone was somewhat weary. They agreed to tour the county town tomorrow and then retired to their rooms to rest.
