Chapter 48 - 48 Treasure Body, Dharma Body, and Spirit Body

48 Treasure Body, Dharma Body, and Spirit Body
Liu Ruxue looked at the spot beside her where Song Shi had disappeared from in a daze and frowned. “You’re too much!”
She knew that Song Shi had neither a powerful background nor enough strength. Even if Tong Hu did not use much Spiritual Energy, he would still not be able to withstand a punch from Tong Hu, who was at the ninth level of Qi Refinement and specialized in the skill of Body Tempering.
Her Furnace was destroyed just like that. Not to mention that she had already developed some feelings for Song Shi, who was her first man, over time.
For the first time, Liu Ruxue was so angry that her body trembled involuntarily in front of outsiders. It was as if someone had destroyed her beloved pet.
Tong Hu smiled awkwardly, “Um, I didn’t expect this kid to have no reaction at all, nor have any protective Dharma artifacts.”
He was really surprised. He had just wanted to teach him a lesson casually. Who would have thought that it was so effective?
In fact, it had gone too smoothly. He felt that he had actually destroyed the other party with only one punch. This was a little awkward.
Mei Niang’s expression turned slightly cold as she walked over, swaying her bottom. She said meaningfully, “Lord Tong Hu, although this is only an outlet of the New Moon Brothel in the outside world and there are no experts guarding it, isn’t it a little too much for you to publicly kill the Dao companion of a disciple of the Yao Moon Palace?”
Tong Hu frowned, “He is not a disciple of the Yao Moon Palace, right? Is there a need to be so serious?”
“The Dao companions of the Yao Moon Palace’s disciples are also protected by the palace. Lord, don’t you know?”
Mei Niang was also angry. Just as Liu Ruxue was about to rely on this Dao companion to succeed in her cultivation, he was beaten up and even killed!
Even if Song Shi did not die, he would definitely be crippled. Liu Ruxue’s improvement would undoubtedly slow down. She did not know how long it would take for her to make a comeback.
“Ahem, what an accident. Why don’t I become Xue’er’s Dao companion and sacrifice some EXP to compensate you?”
As Tong Hu spoke, he sized up Liu Ruxue greedily.
For someone like him who had a higher cultivation level than Liu Ruxue, the other party would not be able to absorb his power. It was very rare for Liu Ruxue that someone like Tong Hu is willing to give her a portion of his cultivation.
If she absorbed it, she could quickly advance to the late-stage Qi Refinement realm.
However, he realized that Liu Ruxue had ignored his comments and was looking at the door in surprise.
Liu Ruxue wasn’t the only one. The others were also shocked and were looking in the same direction in surprise.
He turned around and saw Song Shi standing at the door unharmed.
His expression darkened, “You indeed have some ability. Although my punch is purely physical strength, it’s not something a Postnatal expert can withstand.”
Many people started to exclaim
“He’s actually fine. Could it be the power of some special Dharma artifacts that we didn’t notice?”
“Even if he’s not dead, he’s still just a sitting duck1 for Tong Hu.”
Feng Yuxiao narrowed his eyes and sized up Song Shi. This person was really interesting.
Big Smart, who was outside the door, also understood that Song Shi had been beaten up. Fortunately, he looked fine.
Liu Ruxue walked lightly towards Song Shi with a concerned expression, “Are you alright?”
“It’s fine. He just gave me a massage, that’s all. I can still withstand three hundred more rounds of this if it is for you.”
Song Shi chuckled and Tong Hu’s face darkened visibly.
Tong Hu was about to say something when a yellow-robed man appeared like a ghost.
He was a gray-haired old man with a ruddy face and a masculine aura. He looked at Tong Hu coldly and said, “I’m Ao Bai, the outer sect deacon of the Yao Moon Palace. Do you still want to continue causing trouble now that I am here?”
“Yo, even the outer sect deacon is here. Looks like the Yao Moon Palace is also very interested in this place.”
A hint of fear flashed across Tong Hu’s eyes. This old man’s cultivation level was much deeper than his. He was already at the tenth level of Qi Refinement, which was enough to intimidate him.
More importantly was the motive behind the Moon Palace’s decision to send a warden to survey members of the lowest level of power that represented a certain attitude being displayed.
This attitude of the Yao Moon Place made him not dare to act recklessly.
“Greetings, Deacon Ao!”
Liu Ruxue and Mei Niang bowed politely.
“Well, you guys did well, especially you.”
Ao Bai nodded at Liu Ruxue, “You’ve only been here for a month and you’re already at the fifth level of Qi Refinement. A few elders are quite satisfied with you.”
Liu Ruxue was secretly happy. Being chosen by an elder meant that she had a bright future ahead.
“Deacon Ao, it’s been a few years since we last met. Your Spiritual Energy has become much richer. I think you have a chance of reaching the Foundation Establishment realm.”
Feng Yuxiao walked over and cupped his fists.
“Brother Feng’s Frost Jade Technique seems to have reached a high level as well. If you can reach the Foundation Establishment realm, there’s a chance that you can condense an Ice Spirit Body, which is really rare.”
Ao Bai returned the greeting.
If cultivation required Spiritual Roots to begin, then Foundation Establishment was to lay the foundation of the body and transform with Spiritual Qi or other methods to condense different physiques. From there, one could transcend mortals and enjoy a very long lifespan.
Physiques were divided into different levels. Spirit Bodies were considered top-notch existences amongst the various Physiques. They were much stronger than the other ordinary treasured physiques.
“It’s difficult. I’m already satisfied that I can condense an ice physique!”
Feng Yuxiao said bitterly. How could a spirit body be so easy to condense?
Song Shi was dumbfounded. Dharma body? Spirit body?
To a newbie like him, it was a completely unfamiliar existence.
“Xue’er, I think we should go to bed and not disturb them from catching up with each other.”
Song Shi whispered and pulled Liu Ruxue into the room.
For a moment, many envious and jealous gazes were cast in the hall.
Thinking that such a delicate and charming hand that was like a fairy from the nine heavens was about to be touched by this guy, they all felt very indignant in their hearts.
“Interesting.”
Ao Bai looked at Song Shi’s background. He knew the identity and background of this Furnace. To be able to be so calm in front of so many people, his temperament was not bad.
“Deacon Ao, I wonder where this Dao companion of your sect’s disciple comes from?”
Tong Hu asked indignantly.
Deacon Ao smiled faintly, “No matter what his background is, he’s considered a member of the Yao Moon Palace now. It’s best if you don’t act rashly.”
“Hmph, I’ll investigate it myself!”
Tong Hu turned around and returned to the table. He then instructed his subordinates to investigate Song Shi’s background.
However, Feng Yuxiao could tell that something was amiss. He did not say much and walked over to the window with Ao Bai to continue chatting.
Song Shi pulled Liu Ruxue into the room. He hugged her soft body and whispered into her ear, “Xue’er, what do they mean by conjuring Dharma and Spirit body?”
“I knew you’d ask me that. I saw the intense curiosity spark in your eyes just now.”
Liu Ruxue took out a thick ancient yellow book with a few huge words written on it.
The Encyclopedia of the Foundations of Cultivation!
“This was what Xue’er read when she was five years old. It contains all kinds of basic cultivation knowledge. Since it’s useless now, I’ll give it to you.”
Liu Ruxue smiled, “The Dharma Body and Spirit Body are related to the Physique. They are also involved in the Foundation Establishment stage. This is the name and level of the physique that needs to be cultivated in order to reach the Foundation Establishment realm and ascend it in the future. Generally, they are divided into Treasure Body, Dharma Body, and Spirit Body. The better the Physique, the stronger the Foundation and the greater your potential will be.”
“I see.”
Song Shi was enlightened. His gaze landed on the manual, “I didn’t expect this world to have such a thorough understanding of cultivation. They even have such a comprehensive guide of basic knowledge.”
Song Shi hurriedly flipped open the catalog and searched according to his Physique. Soon, he was speechless.
“Spirit Root, Treasure Body, Dharma Body, Spirit Body, Divine Body, Saint Body… There are actually so many levels. Furthermore, there are Connate and Postnatal Physiques. Spirit Root is actually only a basic Connate Talent…”
Song Shi clicked his tongue in wonder. This book was an eye-opener for him.
