It didn't take long before Qian Feng realized that his current rate of progress wasn't going to be enough. Upon receiving the body tempering techniques, he had planned to reach the Completion, and maybe Mastery, stage of proficiency with all three. But, when Qian Feng started practicing, even under the waterfall, he wasn't content with how quickly he grew. If he wanted to progress to the peak, then he had to grow as quickly as possible, so his talent would be recognized and he could gain more resources. That meant that he had to seek out any opportunities he could.

   Qian Feng left his residence in Reun Arena and went to go see the Iron Fox. "Master, are there any places or items that could help me speed up my rate of body cultivation? I feel as if this arena no longer holds any prospects for me."

    "Well, the little bird has decided to grow wings, huh? Do you really think you can just leave before completing this part of your training?  I have the whole training period planned out, and there's no way that you can just throw a stone into the entire plan!

   Though, to be fair, you have surprised me before...

   Alright, I'll give you a chance. This part of the training was to make sure you reached a certain level of strength before you moved on to the next phase, so as long as you are as strong as you need to be, I'll take you along to where we're going next. Don't worry, either, because that place will satisfy your 'conditions' just fine.

   So, punch my hand. I may not be what I used to, but there's no way a brat like you will hurt me, so don't bother holding back. If you're good, we move on, and no skin off my back - you train even more and the plan moves even faster for you, brat. Go on. What are you waiting for?" 

  Aware that this was his chance to move at his rate instead of his master's, Qian Feng got into a fighting stance and circulated his Force Qi throughout his body. His muscles bulged and flexed as a perfect punch was executed, each ounce of muscles putting force into the strike. The superposition of his Earth and Force domains(his Life was held back because it wouldn't be very helpful to his predicament and he didn't want to risk exposing his third affinity) augmented the fist whirling through the air even further, granting it the weight of the earth and the strength of a dragon.

  The strongest punch Qian Feng without using a martial technique dissolved into his master's hand, fizzing out like a spent firecracker.

  Just a dull thud, and all that power, enough to send even early Martial Kings sprawling, disappeared. Of course, Qian Feng hadn't expected his mysterious master to be weak, but regardless, not strong enough to take a full-power punch and not move an inch.

  "Well, not bad, kid. Looks like that time you spent locked up in your room wasn't all wasted. And here I was scared to intrude for fear of scarring these old eyes, with the amount of time you spent in there. Well, a deal's a deal. You satisfied my requirements, by a bit, so we move on."

  With that, Qian Feng and his teacher's comfortable stay in the residences of Reun Arena came to a close, and they were back on the road(their caravan, at least - the party had their own residences connected through the door).

   "Alright, so, I bet you want to know where we're going. Well, lucky you, cause where we're going,  surprise sure isn't going to do you a lot of good. To avoid that, I guess I have to tell you what you need to know.

  We're heading to a little place called the Ancestor's Tomb. Now, I know that place sounds a little ominous..."

  The Iron Fox stopped there for a second and then continued. "So there are a few things that I'll tell you I normally wouldn't. It really would be rather troublesome if you died on my watch, no?

 The Ancestor's Tomb is what the name of the place would suggest - a tomb for a little guy called The Ancestor. He was, as rumor would have it, a Martial Overlord. While all the really good stuff has long been taken away, there's still some treasure that the big shots turned up their nose at, leaving it for the smaller cultivators. And that stuff includes, of course, body tempering treasures, which is what you asked for.

  Naturally, with opportunity also comes danger, and there are still plenty of traps around, not to mention everyone else, who will be trying to steal anything valuable you get. That's why we can call it a tempering experience!"

  As Qian Feng asked and clarified, the carriage sped on, moving closer and closer towards the Ancestor's Tomb.
