"Miss Yan, Iâm really sorry about earlier, it was all a misunderstanding, and now weâre friends, arenât we?"
"Who said weâre friends!" Tang Baoâer said to Ye Luo with a huff.
"Big-chested Lolita, I never said we were friends!"
Ye Luo smirked, emboldened by the words of Lan Yuqiong, he was no longer afraid of the loli with a baby face and huge chest.
"What did you say? What big-chested Lolita, what are you talking about?"
"Look at you, with such a big chest but a face like a Lolita, isnât âbig-chested Lolitaâ quite fitting for you?"
Ye Luo said, smiling cheerfully.
"You... you shameless guy!"
Tang Baoâer glared at Ye Luo, her chest heaving dramatically, creating waves of curves. The spectacle was even more magnificent because she wasnât wearing a bra, literally like stormy seas.
"Sorry, I have teeth, and theyâre very white!"
Ye Luo smiled, opening his mouth to reveal his pearly white teeth.
"Hmph!"
Tang Baoâer could only snort in anger, crossing her arms and pouting adorably.
"Alright, Iâll take you to your lodgings!"
Yan Ruxue said indifferently to Ye Luo and led him away from there to a room inside Snow Palace.
"You can stay here. Just say if you need anything."
Yan Ruxue told Ye Luo with a clear voice.
"Thank you, Miss Yan!" Ye Luo nodded.
Shortly after, Yan Ruxue left the room, and Ye Luo eagerly asked Ao Long:
"Senior Ao Long, what exactly is the good stuff you were talking about?"
"Snow Essence Cold Ice!"
Ao Long replied.
"Snow Essence Cold Ice? Whatâs that?"
"Itâs a type of extremely terrifying cold ice born from the essence of endless cold. Itâs very rare in the Martial Realm and I didnât expect it to exist in Snow Mountain."
"Is it useful?" Ye Luo asked curiously.
"Once you get this Snow Essence Cold Ice and refine it, you can control the power of ice. With the power of the Snow Essence Cold Ice, your combat strength will greatly increase."
"Most importantly, once you control the Snow Essence Cold Ice, you can use it to temper your body, bringing your physique to an extremely high realm, and thus one step closer to becoming a Spiritual Body."
Ao Long explained.
"Spiritual Body?"
Ye Luo looked stunned.
"A Spiritual Body is whatâs called a physical realm, which is divided into Spiritual Body, Treasure Body, Dry Body, Sacred Body, and Divine Body, and further subdivided into Early Stage, Middle Stage, Late Stage, Peak, and Great Perfection."
"Once your body reaches the level of a Spiritual Body, even a blow from a powerful cultivator in the primary level of Hua Yuan Realm can hardly hurt you, and even the firearms like pistols in your world wonât be able to penetrate your body."
"That strong!"
Ye Luo was astonished.
"Of course, in the Martial Realm, many people donât cultivate True Yuan, focusing instead on their physical body to dominate the Martial Realm. If you reach the realm of a Treasure Body, you could even kill a being of the Controlling Qi Realm with a single punch."
"Thatâs terrifying!"
Ye Luo couldnât believe that a single punch could kill an expert of the Controlling Qi Realmâit was utterly terrifying.
"Whatâs this? If one day you have the opportunity to achieve a Sacred Body, or even a Divine Body, youâll understand the terror of those who cultivate their physical bodies. Itâs a level where one punch can shatter mountains and rivers, and a single kick can crush the heavens and the earth. A true powerhouse who can connect the heavens to the earth. Although the Sacred Body still exists in the Martial Realm, a Divine Body has not been born for ten thousand years."
Ao Long exclaimed.
"Senior Ao Long, to what realm had your physical body reached initially?"
Ye Luo couldnât help but ask.
"Originally, I had just broken into the Sacred Body, reaching the early stages of the Sacred Body. Itâs just unfortunate..."
Ao Long said lightly, his tone turning somewhat wistful at the end, clearly because his physical form had been destroyed, leaving only his Dragon Soul.
Nonetheless, Ye Luo realized the formidable power of this Divine Dragon and also understood that such immense power could indeed come from physical cultivation.
This made him think of the mysterious man in his dreams, whose terrifying might was likely due to having achieved a Sacred Body.
At this thought, Ye Luo became even more interested in physical cultivation, seeing it as a viable method to enhance his own strength.
"However, cultivating the physical body is even more challenging than cultivating True Qi and True Yuan. It requires various potent energies to temper the body and elevate the physical realm. But once successful, you can easily annihilate martial artists of the same level. Hence, you cannot miss this opportunity. You must acquire the Xuepo Cold Ice, a spiritual treasure that is rare even in the Martial Realm."
Ao Long spoke.
"Understood, but where is the Xuepo Cold Ice now? How can I obtain it?"
"The Xuepo Cold Ice lies deep within the Snow Mountain. However, thereâs a cave tunnel behind the Snow Palace that leads directly there. Come night, take the opportunity to go there and try to obtain and refine the Xuepo Cold Ice."
"Understood!"
Ye Luo nodded, then asked, "But by doing this, wonât we anger the people of the Snow Palace?"
"Whatâs there to fear? If the Xuepo Cold Ice still exists, they either donât know about it or canât refine it. Moreover, considering that old womanâs attitude towards you, even if she knows youâve refined the Xuepo Cold Ice, she probably wonât say anything."
Ao Long said nonchalantly.
Ye Luo thought about it and felt that Ao Long was making sense.
Thus, Ye Luo started cultivating quietly in the room, waiting for the night to descend.
In another room, Yan Ruxue and Tang Baoâer were staying there.
"Sister Ruxue, why did the master and that elder suddenly treat that boy so well? Who exactly is he?"
Tang Baoâer spoke with a puzzled face.
"I donât know, but it probably has something to do with him being of the Nine Yang Physique."
Yan Ruxue spoke thoughtfully.
"What is the Nine Yang Physique?"
Tang Baoâer eyed her curiously.
"Not sure, it must be some kind of powerful physique. Additionally, this physique must be extremely formidable, otherwise, how could he withstand your strike and even break your protective True Yuan barrier? This person is definitely not simple," Yan Ruxue said with a twinkle in her eye.
"Sister Ruxue, donât tell me you fell in love with him because he saw your body?"
Tang Baoâer looked at Yan Ruxue with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Yan Ruxue glared at Tang Baoâer.
"Isnât that the case?"
"Well, he saw your body too. Have you fallen in love with him?"
"I certainly havenât. Heâs only in the third realm of the Sacred Body, not even comparable to one of my fingers. I would never like him."
Tang Baoâer pouted and huffed.
