Chapter 4701

However, Kai understood that the stronger the body refinement technique, the more intense the pain he would have to endure during the process.

Body refinement was excruciatingly painful and required a vast amount of resources. This was why many cultivators abandoned it altogether, choosing instead to focus on advancing their technique realm.

“Deal. The moment I see Huo Qing, I will take his life…”

Kai smiled faintly.

“Alright then, I won’t disturb you any longer. You should focus on finding a suitable place for body refinement. Given the strength of the Xiao Dynasty, it might be difficult to locate an appropriate site,” Yun Li advised.

Unlike other cultivation methods, body refinement relied on external forces to temper the body. Training in isolation was ineffective, making body refinement not only troublesome but also highly impractical due to the lack of suitable locations.

“Don’t worry about that, Brother Yun,” Kai assured him with a slight bow.

After bidding Yun Li farewell, Kai immediately went to find Xiao Yuanshan. He wanted to ask if there was a place within the Xiao Dynasty’s territory where he could temper his body.

As soon as he stepped out, he caught sight of Ji Yun and his younger sister, their affection for each other growing noticeably stronger over the past few days.

From Kai’s perspective, it was likely that the two had begun dual cultivation.

“Mr. Chen…” Ji Yun greeted him hastily upon noticing his presence.

“Ji Yun, now that you’ve found your soft haven, don’t neglect your cultivation. If you still wish to follow me, you must accelerate your progress,” Kai warned.

His strength was growing rapidly. If Ji Yun stagnated, the gap between them would only widen, making it difficult for Kai to keep him by his side. The enemies Kai now faced were growing stronger—many were already at the peak of the ninth rank in the Mahayana realm, and some had even stepped into the Immortal Realm.

Against such formidable opponents, Ji Yun would struggle to even protect himself if his cultivation did not advance.

“Mr. Chen, I understand. I will make the most of my time to train,” Ji Yun said with a resolute nod.

Kai said no more and headed straight for Xiao Yuanshan.
When Xiao Yuanshan heard the reason for Kai’s visit, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

“Mr. Chen, although the Xiao Dynasty’s territory is vast, there are very few suitable places for body tempering,” he admitted.

“There are some minor locations, but I fear they won’t be of any use to you. After all, attacks that cause no real pain are meaningless for body refinement.”

Xiao Yuanshan spoke with clear reluctance.

“Xiao Huang, there’s no need to worry. If there’s no suitable place in the Xiao Dynasty, I’ll simply search elsewhere,” Kai replied with a slight smile.

“That may be the only option. However, even in the entire Tianren Realm, there aren’t many places suitable for body tempering. There are far too few body refinement cultivators left these days,” Xiao Yuanshan remarked.

Just then, Xiao Feng hurried into the room.

“Father, I have a way to create a place for Mr. Chen to temper his body!” he announced.

“Oh? What do you have in mind?” Xiao Yuanshan asked curiously.

“Mr. Chen, how do you feel about using thunder tribulation for body refinement?” Xiao Feng inquired.

“Thunder tribulation is undoubtedly the best method,” Kai said, frowning slightly, “but my realm progresses slowly. I can’t just sit around waiting for a breakthrough to undergo tribulation for body tempering, can I?”

“Of course not,” Xiao Feng said with a confident smile. “Mr. Chen doesn’t need to advance his realm at all. The Xiao Dynasty has many cultivators, and we only need to gather those on the verge of breaking through. The combined effect will surely trigger a massive heavenly tribulation!”

“Mr. Chen can then stand at the center of these tribulations and let the thunder refine his body, right?” Xiao Feng explained enthusiastically.

Hearing this, Kai’s eyes lit up. Why hadn’t he thought of this before?

Xiao Yuanshan also realized the brilliance of the plan and praised, “This is an excellent idea, truly excellent!”

“Feng’er, go find those cultivators who are about to break through. Gather them together and create the ideal conditions for Mr. Chen’s thunder tribulation tempering!” Xiao Yuanshan ordered.

Xiao Feng nodded and immediately set off to carry out the task.
