The body of a cultivator is far tougher than that of an ordinary person; not only does this manifest in their use of the powers of Heaven and Earth, but even more so in the strength of their own fleshly bodies. Strength, speed, endurance, even lifespan—all are far superior to those of ordinary people.
Therefore, cultivators rarely fall ill. The higher one's cultivation, the rarer sickness becomes; once one breaks through to the Gathering Spirit Realm, it can be said they are almost immune to all diseases.
But after all, cultivators in this world are but a minority; it is ordinary people who are the true foundation and mainstream of society. This holds true in the military as well—the number of ordinary soldiers is hundreds of times greater than the number of cultivators.
