Chapter 38: I Got a Challenge? Who’s That Idiot?
The training grew more intense for Hao Ziyue and Xiao Bai, especially when the disciples from the Forest Leaf Sect decided to join in.
The two not only focused on learning the latest techniques, but also took turns fighting the other 36 Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Li Shen continues to watch their training, focusing on Hao Ziyue and Xiao Bai's progress. The long-standing closeness between them has allowed their chemistry to develop well. They can even fight against five Foundation Establishment Cultivators at once by teaming up.
Ye Fa and Gu Mei finished teaching the disciples. There was good progress from them, the children who were about to begin their cultivation. Ye Fa and Gu Mei applied the most basic teachings to them, physical training.
In the cultivation world, the term "Body Tempering" was not commonly used. They chose to use Spiritual Seed Pills to forcefully open the meridians and activate the dantian, without considering their physical strength.
Li Shen found out about this after Gu Mei suggested it to him. But Li Shen refused. He thought it was better to follow the traditional cultivation method rather than follow the current trends in the cultivation world.
There are advantages to starting with Body Tempering. Cultivators will have strong physical endurance and be resistant to the side effects of pills during cultivation.
Body Tempering also provided agility, endurance, and physical well-being.
Of the 178 new disciples of the Azure Pillar Sect, 30 were at Body Tempering stage 2, 76 were at Body Tempering stage 3, 41 were at Body Tempering stage 4, and 31 were at the peak of Body Tempering.
Li Shen said that all of them would be able to cultivate well next year, as long as they continued to obey the instructions of Elder Ye and Elder Gu.
Ye Fa and Gu Mei flew over to Li Shen. They asked him about the training methods he had used for them.
