270: Your way is different

Song Shenfeng rose, pondered, and said, "The seven martial arts realms known to the Great Xia are divided into six realms of body tempering and a seventh realm of soul refining. Generally speaking, as long as the first six realms are tempered to their peak, soul refining will be even more powerful. However, body tempering and soul refining are only two steps; there's also Dao refining involved later, but for now, you don't need to know that much. Just follow my instructions."

His gaze fell on Lin Qinghuang, and he said meaningfully, "Your path is unique. Your physical body is extremely powerful, and your bloodline and bone structure are incredibly heaven-defdefying. Ordinary body-tempering techniques probably wouldn't catch your eye, so I've found an extremely special body-tempering method for you."

Lin Qinghuang cupped her fists and asked, "What method?"

Indeed, ordinary body-tempering methods wouldn't catch her eye.

Because within her eastern wasteland tower, there were powerful body-tempering techniques, but extracting them was somewhat difficult.

Song Shenfeng smiled broadly and said, "The method cannot be spoken of; it's too significant. I will give you something then, and you can take it and comprehend it yourself."

Xie Weilou looked at Song Shenfeng: "What about me?"

Song Shenfeng shrugged and said, "As for you, naturally, it's one step at a time! You have Phoenix Blood for body shaping, so your physical body isn't bad. I'll first impart a Thunder body-tempering technique to you; you can take your time."

He needed to let this kid get struck by more lightning to temper his temperament, which would allow him to cultivate better.

Xie Weilou smiled faintly and said, "Body-tempering techniques or whatever, it doesn't matter if I have them or not. I just want to learn your Heaven Hammering Fist..."

"Heaven Hammering Fist? That's simple."

Song Shenfeng waved his hand, and two scrolls flew towards Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang: "This is the cultivation method for the Heaven Hammering Fist, but the prerequisite is still body tempering. Otherwise, it will be difficult to unleash the power of this fist technique. You can comprehend it first! As for cultivation, you can put it aside for today. You should go find your residences now."

He had no doubt about Lin Qinghuang's path; this girl would definitely go very far. This time, when he observed Lin Qinghuang crossing the Heavenly Barrier, he had already discovered some anomalies.

As for Xie Weilou, it was still unknown whether this kid could endure, after all, body tempering required suffering. Perhaps this kid wouldn't be able to hold on soon, and then he probably wouldn't even come to Thunder Peak.

"......"

Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang bowed to Song Shenfeng, then turned and walked out of the main hall.

Outside the main hall.

Lin Qinghuang looked around. Both the east and west directions had terrifying Thunder Mountains, and the mountain to the north had the most domineering thunder power.

"I'll go to the eastern direction to open a cave dwelling."

Lin Qinghuang whispered.

Too strong a thunder power was not suitable for her for now; opening a cave dwelling in the eastern direction would suffice.

Xie Weilou smiled and said, "Then I'll go to the northern direction to open a cave dwelling."

He felt that he might be able to complete the third and fourth layers of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Thunder Punishment Body on Thunder Peak.

Cultivating this technique would definitely cause a stir and easily expose him, so he would have to find a way to conceal it.

Lin Qinghuang waved her hand, and several formation flags flew towards Xie Weilou: "These formation flags are for you."

Xie Weilou knew powerful Restriction, but they were easily exposed. If she gave him formation flags for concealment, it could save some trouble.

Xie Weilou didn't stand on ceremony, accepted the formation flags, and then flew towards the northern direction.

Not long after.

Xie Weilou arrived in the northern direction. The thunder power here was even more terrifying, making it seem more secluded.

After some searching, he finally found an area with extremely rich spiritual energy. There was also a waterfall here, which was very good. He directly conjured a long sword and began to open his cave dwelling.

Half an hour later.

He successfully opened a huge cave dwelling, then inserted the formation flags and carved some Restriction. Inside the cave dwelling, there were stone tables, stone stools, a small pond, and so on, making it quite nice.

After finishing all this, Xie Weilou stretched. He didn't rush to cultivate but flew out of the cave dwelling.

Next, he was going to the Holy Academy's scripture repository to see if he could find any information about the Heavenly Book!

After a while.

After crossing some Thunder Mountains, Xie Weilou saw Yan Ruyu. That woman was sitting atop a mountain, with thunder striking down all around her, constantly tempering her physical body.

He hadn't expected her to be body tempering on the northern mountain.

This woman's physical body was still extremely terrifying. If an ordinary cultivator dared to do this, they would definitely be struck until not even dregs remained.

Xie Weilou flew over and said with a smile, "Senior Sister, this thunder is so fierce, aren't you afraid it will tear your clothes to shreds?"

Yan Ruyu ignored Xie Weilou and continued to draw lightning into her body, constantly tempering her physical body.

If she had obtained that thunder-path body-tempering technique at the Void Heaven Sword Arena earlier, her path of body tempering would naturally be even more powerful. Fortunately, she had obtained other things at the Void Heaven Sword Arena as substitutes, and her physical body could also advance another level, but to reach the extreme, it was still a bit lacking.

"......"

Seeing that Yan Ruyu ignored him, Xie Weilou didn't continue to disturb her and flew away directly.

——

After leaving Thunder Peak.

Xie Weilou arrived in front of a seven-story hall.

This place was the Holy Academy's largest scripture hall, housing countless classics, cultivation techniques, secret arts, and so on. It was a key area of the Holy Academy, and those who were not members of the Holy Academy had no right to enter.

In front of the hall, a white-haired old man was sleeping. Those who passed by dared not disturb him.

Generally speaking, old men guarding such scripture halls were all hidden, peerless masters.

The sweepers, the scripture repository guardians, and the secret realm guardians were all recluses.

"......"

Xie Weilou walked forward.

The old man slowly opened his mouth: "New disciples, regardless of their status, can only enter the first floor."

The first floor contained only classics available for viewing. As for the second floor and above, those were cultivation techniques and secret arts. To obtain those, one needed to perform excellently.

Generally speaking, the Three Great Halls and Seven Great Peaks would allocate a certain amount of resources to disciples, but to obtain more resources, one needed to go to the Merit Hall to undertake various missions and exchange them for various items.

As for the scripture hall, it was a public hall. If one performed well, they could naturally enter.

Not only the scripture hall, but the Holy Academy also had many secret realms, all containing good things, which would be opened to outstanding young people when the time came.

"Understood."

Xie Weilou bowed to the old man and was about to enter the hall.

"Xie Weilou!"

Just then, a sinister voice sounded.

Xie Weilou looked over in surprise and happened to see a black-robed man with an Shadow face staring coldly at him.

This person was Wang Yi, a disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall and the eldest son of the Minister of Rites.

Wang Yi stared at Xie Weilou with cold eyes: "I didn't expect you to have entered the Holy Academy as well."

Xie Weilou raised an eyebrow: "Presumptuous! What is your status, and what is mine? How dare you call This Young Master by his name? If you dare to babble again, I'll cripple you directly."

"Cripple me?"

Wang Yi's eyes were fierce, and a pressure permeated the air.

The old man slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Wang Yi, and said indifferently, "It's best not to cause trouble in front of the scripture hall."

"......"

Wang Yi's heart tightened, and he quickly reined in his aura.

The old man looked at Xie Weilou and smiled faintly: "Why are you dawdling? Aren't you going in?"

"Uh! Going in right away."

Xie Weilou smiled and entered the hall.

Wang Yi's face was extremely ugly; he felt that he had been treated differently...
