It was evident that this was an extremely advanced cultivation technique, valuable even in the Martial Realm. If it were elsewhere, it would likely become a rare treasure coveted by the world!
Ye Luo then began to browse through it.
The first part of the manual primarily introduced why the creator developed this cultivation technique! In fact, this was something Ye Luo wanted to know, as the Martial Realm doesnât pay much attention to body cultivation techniques. The stronger one becomes, the more disdain they show, feeling that creating such body cultivation techniques is a complete waste of time!
However, this master was in quite a unique situation! That was being stripped of their realm!
Indeed, from a Martial Realm perspective, that meant the Dantian was destroyed, becoming a cripple!
Moreover, burdened with the deep hatred of clan annihilation, and having a destroyed Dantian, they embarked on the path of body refinement. Initially, they were subject to ridicule and disdain, leading them to seclude themselves in the deep mountains for hundreds of years, eventually achieving mastery in body cultivation!
They created the Great Saint Physique manual, thereafter obliterating opponents far and wide, avenging their deep hatred, and gaining immense renown in the Martial Realm as a grandmaster of body cultivation!
Logically, a manual created by such a grandmaster should be highly regarded, and indeed, as described in the book, it caused a considerable stir back then. The grandmaster even established a sect and recruited many disciples. However, an unexpected event occurred. Body cultivation was far more difficult than other forms of cultivation, and the suffering involved was unbearable for average people. The most crucial aspect was that none of the disciples succeeded!
Itâs said that even those who could withstand the Earth Martial Realm were rare among body cultivators! Gradually, people started doubting these body cultivation techniques!
Of course, the reputation of the grandmaster remained, but was considered just an exception.
After a few years, there were few remaining disciples in the sect, and eventually, the grandmaster left the manual and disappeared from public view.
Ye Luo sighed deeply. Upon reaching this point, he hesitated as well. Initially, upon seeing the vitality in the manual, he felt he had obtained a supreme treasure. But now, he was uncertain whether it would truly be effective, and more importantly, would it have short-term results? One must know that body cultivation is a long process!
Therefore, besides this body cultivation technique, he also searched for cultivation techniques that suited his Frost Body. Although these were quite ordinary basic techniques, they were far superior to something like a blazing flame palm!
In the Liu Family, they were just fine to use, but utilizing such simple techniques in such an important occasion would inevitably draw suspicion.
Having found the cultivation technique he wanted, Ye Luo was about to leave when a young man blocked his path, which made Ye Luo very unhappy. After all, this Book Collection Pavilion was quite large, and this was clearly deliberate.
"Can we have a word?" The young man was quite suave, dressed in white, much like a frail scholar from ancient Earth.
"Sorry, I donât have the time!" Ye Luo replied coolly.
Joking aside, if a beautiful woman had invited him for a talk, he wouldnât mind engaging in a deeper exchange!
But with you, a big dude, whatâs there to talk about?
"Iâm very interested in the cultivation technique you picked earlier. How about this, you name a condition, and Iâd like to exchange it with you!" the young man said, pointing to the manual in Ye Luoâs hand.
Ye Luo was taken aback for a moment; was he referring to the Great Saint Physique manual?
However, he was also a person from the Martial Realm and seemed to have a high realm. Why would he need this body cultivation technique?
Or was he intentionally creating trouble for Ye Luo?
Thinking of this, Ye Luoâs expression turned grim. If you want trouble, then Iâll accommodate you. After all, he needed others to recognize him!
"Iâve taken a liking to this cultivation technique. Even if you offered your life in exchange, I wouldnât trade it!" Ye Luo replied coldly.
The young man unexpectedly laughed, "Oh? Want my life? Youâre quite interesting!"
Regarding his demeanor, Ye Luo frowned, feeling very displeased.
This was completely him showing off in front of Ye Luo!
At this moment, quite a few disciples selecting cultivation techniques in the Book Collection Pavilion noticed the commotion and looked over.
But upon seeing the young man, they immediately showed a look of fear. Naturally, Ye Luo keenly observed this!
Could this guy really be someone famous? But so what? In this candidateâs big competition, Ye Luo had to face the top geniuses of the Kunwu Sect!
If he wanted to claim the top spot, he had to defeat everyone else! So even if he were a genius from the Kunwu Sect, he remained unfazed.
"How about this, Iâll tell you my name, and perhaps you might change your mind. As I said, whatever you want, just say it, and Iâll try to meet your demands!" the young man said warmly, though Ye Luo caught a hint of coldness in his tone!
It was evident that his inner sentiments did not match his sunny, affable exterior.
"I donât know which family you belong to, or maybe youâre a cultivator from outside the Kunwu Sect, but I think youâve probably heard of Li Ba from the Li Family, right?" the young man smiled.
Li Ba? Ye Luo was startled for a moment. He had indeed heard of him. Liu Mei had once introduced Li Ba to him, the most formidable genius of the Li Family, expected to be a candidate for the Sect Master of the Li Family!
For others, even if they werenât intimidated by the name, they would definitely give him some face.
But Ye Luo didnât care about any of this. Could just stating a name scare him? What a joke!
"Iâm sorry, I havenât heard of you, and the rules of the Book Collection Pavilion should be that whoever gets the cultivation technique first, itâs theirs. Are you planning to challenge the rules of the Book Collection Pavilion?" Ye Luo replied coolly.
Li Ba was momentarily stunned; this guy gave him no face at all!
People around watched Ye Luo with schadenfreude, daring to offend Li Ba? This guy wasnât as amiable as he appeared! Was this a path to destruction?
"Fine, you really are something. How about you tell me your name, so I can know which genius you are!" A fierce glint flashed in Li Baâs eyes, showing his murderous intent towards Ye Luo.
As for making a move now? Even Li Ba didnât have that courage, let alone Wan Hou! After all, Wan Kunâs incident was a lesson learned!
"Iâm Liu Qing, from the Liu Family!"
After speaking, Ye Luo went to the supervisor to submit the Immortal Stone for the cultivation techniques.
"From the Liu Family, huh? Not bad!" Li Ba squinted his eyes at Ye Luoâs retreating figure.
As Ye Luo hadnât chosen any exceedingly valuable cultivation techniques, he spent just two hundred thousand Immortal Stones, which wasnât a small expense, but to Ye Luo, it wasnât much.
