Chapter 1145

In short, Shan Hu this kid is like a piece of sticky candy; whoever sees him fears him, yet this kid is also someone who can't stay idle—if he doesn't fight a battle each day, his whole body feels awful.

Hearing about recent events, Ye Zhangqing laughed and scolded.

You, in the holy land, should just settle down.

But big brother, you told me to work hard at cultivation.

I... you can't just randomly find people to spar with, understand?

Oh.

This kid's strength has indeed risen quickly—think about how long it's been since he came to Zhongzhou, and he's already reached the Purple Mansion Realm.

Even a disciple of Dao Yi Shengdi would find it impossible to go from the Body Tempering Realm to the Purple Mansion Realm without several decades.

But this kid—how long has it been?

Besides, his cultivation level aside, this kid's combat power is terrifying—with Purple Mansion Realm cultivation he can directly contend with Nascent Soul Realm, already able to hold his own.

This is purely the strength of his physical body.

After chatting with everyone for a while, Ye Zhangqing went to the rear courtyard to rest.

At dinnertime, Ye Zhangqing casually made a meal, yet the disciples still ate it with great enjoyment.

How long has it been since they last ate a meal made by Elder Changqing? Some disciples, for this meal, came to wait outside the canteen before it got dark.

And the competition, as can be imagined, is also very fierce.

After finishing the meal, the disciples who had eaten were extremely excited, feeling as if their whole selves had come alive.

A day with food and a day without food are truly incomparable; it feels like cultivation progresses faster.

And Ye Zhangqing is also quite pleased today—Chi Rao that troublemaker isn't around, so he can finally relax for a while.

As for Bai Hua Xianzi and Jue Ying, heh, just two little carrots—not worth mentioning.

Even though the two are now Great Saint cultivators, Ye Zhangqing is also a Saint—dealing with them is no problem.

After all, they're different from Chi Rao—that woman is truly fierce; her high cultivation goes without saying, and she hails from the Charm Tribe, which gives her an extraordinary talent, making her completely unbeatable.

Ye Zhangqing rarely got a good night's sleep, but the next morning at first light, Dragon Elephant Peak went into an uproar.

Just see, early in the morning, a group of Dragon Elephant Peak disciples intended to come to the Tempering Body Hall to cultivate.

This Tempering Body Hall is a cultivation holy land specially built by Dragon Elephant Peak.

Inside, there are not only mechanized wooden dummies but also iron generals, and formations have been engraved; within it one cannot circulate Línglì, relying solely on physical strength.

This is a good place to temper the physical body, and moreover, the fees are affordable; many Dragon Elephant Peak disciples, when they have time, will come to the Tempering Body Hall to temper themselves.

And have shaken hands with the iron general.

But that early morning, after this squad of disciples completed registration and paid the Sect Points, upon entering the Tempering Body Hall they were dumbfounded.

The Tempering Body Hall is divided into front and rear courtyards; the front courtyard has wooden dummies, aimed at disciples with lower cultivation.

The rear courtyard has iron generals, aimed at disciples with higher cultivation.

But upon entering the gate, there wasn't a shadow in sight, and the disciples were stunned.

Where are the wooden dummies?

This front courtyard is completely empty, not even a ghost, and the original wooden dummies are all gone.

Seeing this, the disciples felt somewhat doubtful and then proceeded toward the rear courtyard.

None there either?

This made everyone doubtful; they immediately found the steward managing the Tempering Body Hall. Upon hearing this, the steward also looked skeptical—impossible, the Tempering Body Hall hasn't done anything lately; the wooden dummies and iron generals are supposed to be there.

Until the two stewards personally saw that empty front courtyard, they were dumbfounded.

Immediately they dashed toward the rear courtyard, after which an angry curse came through.

Where did it go? My iron general, where did it go?

They were still here last night; he personally came to see them—how could they be gone after just one night, damn it?

Such a huge iron general, just saying it's gone and it's gone?

The disciples following behind were also all at a loss—even the stewards didn't know? Could they have been stolen? But why would anyone steal a pile of iron lumps?

Although the iron generals cause trouble, they're actually useless.

First, the iron generals must rely on a specialized formation to move; that is, they can only move within a specific range.

Second, the iron generals are only used to temper the physical body; aside from that they have no other use—who the hell would be bored enough to mess with a pile of iron lumps?

Investigate, we must find out—just which little brat is so bold as to dare move my Tempering Body Hall's iron general.

The two stewards are truly furious beyond containment.

This little thief has rebelled against heaven, daring to break ground on Tai Sui's head; moreover, why would you pick anything else—you insist on stealing the iron general, damn it, you didn't even see the huge treasury above Zhu Feng.

Immediately the two stewards began a thorough investigation.

On Dragon Elephant Peak, the news that the iron generals and wooden dummies had been stolen also spread quickly.

Many disciples were doubtful—how could the iron generals be lost? That shouldn't happen.

Could it be they don't recognize its value?

You're stupid—daring to steal things in the holy land and still not know its value?

Then why steal the iron general?

Who knows? Maybe there's some other purpose.

Even Qi Xiong heard about this; at this moment, looking at the steward who had been following him, he asked.

Who would go steal the iron general? Without the formation, the iron general is useless.

Yeah, but reportedly Dragon Elephant Peak is already investigating.

Strange.

Qi Xiong simply couldn't figure it out—what could the thief have stolen instead of going for a pile of iron lumps.

Without the formation, the Iron General, aside from being a bit harder, what use does it have?

Are you looking down on that treasure house atop my main peak?

The Iron General's disappearance is strange everywhere; moreover, since no one ever thought the Iron General could be lost, the Body Tempering Hall has never had any precautions.

By evening, only one disciple was on duty.

After all, who the hell would think this thing could be lost?

Two Body Tempering Hall stewards anxiously found the disciple who was on duty yesterday; he is an Inner Door Disciple of Dragon Elephant Peak.

"Last night's record? Who all came to the Body Tempering Hall?"

The two stewards' faces were grim; this disciple was stunned, then quickly handed over last night's record.

The two stewards quickly went through the record item by item.

But as they looked, the two stewards' faces became strangely odd.

"Steward, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing both of them looking bad, this disciple curiously said, 'Nothing happened last night either.'

Upon hearing that, one of the stewards pointed to a name on the record and said.

"Did this person come yesterday?"

Upon hearing that, the disciple stared intently, then nodded.

"He did come."

"Then did Elder Changqing also come?"

On this record, clearly written were the names of Ye Zhangqing and Shan Hu.

At the moment they saw Shan Hu, the two stewards were stunned; upon seeing Ye Zhangqing's name, the two stewards were completely dumbfounded.

"Who is Ye Zhangqing? The chief elder, the canteen hall master, high status and power; you could offend the Peak Master and Capture Dragon, but you cannot offend him."

"But why did Ye Zhangqing come to the Body Tempering Hall in the middle of the night? Is he also body-training? I've never heard of that before."
