The four of them began to walk deeper into the area.

Since entering the far north, Chu Chenmu stopped flying his sword at high altitudes. Instead, he led his three disciples not far from the ground, searching for spiritual herbs and beasts as they went. However, the resources in the outer area had been almost completely taken away by people. The few spiritual beasts that were left were only at the first or second tier, equivalent to the Qi Refining stage. They were not suitable for the three of them to practice on. So, they made good progress.

However, as they ventured deeper, the number of third and fourth-tier spirit beasts, equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage, gradually increased, slowing down the four of them. Chu Chenmu also intended to give the three of them some practical combat experience, so he would stop when they encountered spirit beasts of similar strength, allowing the three of them to take turns sparring. There was no need to kill them; once they were sufficiently weakened, they would retreat, leaving the spirit beasts, who were on the verge of fighting to the death, standing there bewildered.

After traveling through the Gangfeng area for three or four days, Chu Chenmu and Tian Yige didn't feel anything amiss. Ice Spirit Roots had a unique advantage in the far north, and their cultivation levels were significantly higher. However, Su Chengdian and Luo Suichen didn't seem to be doing so well.

During their sparring session, Su Chengdian was accidentally struck by a third-tier spirit beast, and his face was still somewhat pale. Luo Suichen, on the other hand, was simply blown away by the gale. His cultivation level was the lowest, and his physical strength was not as good as his senior brothers and sisters who had been nurtured by medicinal baths since childhood. He looked listless, but he persisted without activating any protective spiritual power for himself.

The four of them stopped, and Chu Chenmu raised his hand to set up a barrier to temporarily isolate the outside wind, allowing Su Chengdian and Luo Suichen to regulate their breathing.

Half a day later, Luo Suichen slowly exhaled and opened his eyes.

After adjusting himself, Luo Suichen examined his body internally. Originally, only his meridians had spiritual energy flowing and glowing, but now the flesh around his meridians was also beginning to emit a faint halo, indicating that his body had been slowly permeated with spiritual energy after being baptized by the strong winds of the past few days.

When he first started cultivating, his weak and thin meridians gradually widened as his cultivation level improved, but his physical body never had a chance to be tempered. Now, after only a few days in the far north, the door to body tempering has been opened for him.

Luo Suichen glanced up at Chu Chenmu and found his eyes glazed over, lost in thought. So he stood up and casually walked behind Chu Chenmu, found an inconspicuous spot, took out a bottle of pills from his storage bag, gently poured out one pill, and, using his wide sleeves to conceal it, put it into his mouth.

The pill bottle is the kind most commonly used for low-level pills in Yundan Peak. If you look closely, you can find the name of the pill printed on the bottom of the bottle: Body Tempering Pill.

However, since Luo Suichen hadn't retrieved the elixir in this life, it was obvious who had given him this bottle.

Luo Suichen felt a little guilty. He had been so suspicious of this bottle of pills before, and after throwing it away, he thought about it and took it back. However, the reason he took it back was to have more evidence of Chu Chenmu's damnation in the future. He never expected that he would use it now.

Luo Suichen sat down cross-legged again, meditating to absorb the medicinal power of the Body Tempering Pill. He recalled the day Chu Chenmu gave him this bottle of Body Tempering Pills. Now, thinking back, Chu Chenmu's expression and demeanor were normal at the time; perhaps he really just wanted him to temper his body.

He introduced some things that had not yet happened into Chu Chenmu's life in this life, causing unfounded suspicion.

Although he still couldn't let his guard down, it seemed that Chu Chenmu was still treating him like an ordinary master and disciple for the time being, but he didn't know when he had started to become as annoying as he remembered.
