Cannot Let Him Do As He Pleases

"Body Tempering Manual?"

Chen Cheng was somewhat surprised...

In the world of cultivation, cultivators don't just follow one path of practice. There's immortal cultivation, demonic cultivation, demon cultivation, and more. Although their paths differ, none should be underestimated.

Moreover, even among immortal cultivators, there are various categories, such as body refiners.

Body refining...

This is a painful and difficult path.

Generally, it's chosen by those who are dedicated to immortal cultivation but lack a Spiritual Root and can't practice true cultivation methods. They have no choice but to settle for body refining.

But even then, not everyone can become a body refiner.

Body refining... also requires talent and perseverance! The process involves enduring endless 'pain'.

Moreover, if someone with an ordinary or even weak physique tries body refining... they might end up ruining their body before achieving anything.

Of course, that's not the main point. The main point is, why does the Saintess want a body tempering manual?

Chen Cheng and Zhou Yining exchanged glances, both seeing the shock and confusion in each other's eyes, completely clueless about the situation.

"Just pick one with the lowest difficulty."

Qi Zixiao spoke again...

Now, Chen Cheng and Zhou Yining were even more bewildered. However, since Qi Zixiao had spoken, they couldn't question her. Chen Cheng could only head to the Scripture Pavilion with her confusion and retrieve a Body Tempering Manual.

"Waterflow Body..."

After reading its contents, Qi Zixiao's expression turned strange.

Chen Cheng hadn't made a mistake. This was indeed a relatively easy body tempering Cultivation Method. As long as you knew the method, you could stand under different rivers and waterfalls, guiding the water to impact your body, and gradually grow stronger.

But the problem was...

This is a very feminine Cultivation Method!

The cultivator is either female or... effeminate?

"In that world, that's what they seemed to call it, effeminate, hmm..."

Chen Cheng hadn't made a mistake, completely fulfilling Qi Zixiao's requirements: low difficulty, body tempering Cultivation Method...

But she naturally assumed that perhaps her Saintess wanted to learn about body tempering Cultivation Methods, so she chose a Waterflow Body suitable for female cultivators.

"That's fine..."

After a brief moment of surprise, Qi Zixiao didn't see any problem with it.

This Cultivation Method is low in difficulty and not too painful to practice. Although the resulting strength is mediocre, it should be enough in that world, right?

Besides, she's the one practicing it, so what's wrong with it being suitable for female cultivators?

After thinking it through, Qi Zixiao accepted it calmly. After Chen Cheng returned the Waterflow Body, she quietly waited...

Soon, as her consciousness blurred for a moment, the scene before her changed again.

After glancing around and realizing that the scene before her was no longer unfamiliar, Qi Zixiao breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she smelled a fragrant aroma and felt hungry.

On the coffee table, there was a phone, a note, and... a bowl of food.

A food she had never seen before.

Picking up the note, she scanned it...

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you earlier, the phone password is six 6s. Also, I prepared a bowl of Dumplings for you, made with my own hands. After you finish eating, watch the video I left for you on the phone."

"Dumplings?"

Qi Zixiao couldn't help but lick her lips, feeling her saliva glands working overtime.

She almost completely forgot that she was currently in a male body, but fortunately, no one saw her action.

"Let's have a taste."

The taste is not bad!

After one bite, Qi Zixiao instantly narrowed her eyes in comfort.

"Although the air in this world is terribly polluted, the food is indeed delicious."

Recalling her time in the Purple Mansion Holy Land, people generally didn't eat because they practiced abstinence from grains. Even if they did eat, it was just some Spirit Fruit or Spirit Liquid, which was really monotonous.

At this moment, she was even pondering...

Could she make some of this world's food in the Holy Land? Wouldn't she be able to eat delicious food every day then?

Soon, she was full.

Qi Zixiao rubbed her bulging belly, feeling satisfied.

"But what is this feeling?"

"A very weak power is circulating in the meridians and Dantian..."

"Martial Art? The so-called Inner Force of martial artists?"

"This is too weak, a waste of time and energy..."

From Qi Zixiao's perspective, this was equivalent to someone using her body... well, her temporary body, to cultivate some time-wasting, life-wasting, and energy-draining things that were completely useless...

What's the point of practicing this stuff?

Just making trouble for herself? Or isn't the Waterflow Body she brought over better?

"I can't let him mess around, at least this body now has half of me!"

"Martial Art Inner Force consumes energy in the body to convert it, and so does Body Tempering Manual. In this way, cultivating the Waterflow Body will be twice the effort for half the result, so it can't be done."

Two Cultivation Methods with similar principles but vastly different powers and conflicting effects, which one to choose? Naturally, the more powerful one.

This was also Lin Fan's disadvantage of being uncultured, forgetting the existence of Body Tempering for a moment.

Thinking of this, Qi Zixiao formed a sword with her fingers and 'poked' herself all over.

Only after feeling the Inner Force in her body weakening and dissipating did she nod in satisfaction.

"That's right..."

Then, she opened her phone, and the video page was directly displayed. After clicking play, Lin Fan appeared on the screen and began to speak...

"There are many problems in front of us now, the biggest of which is that we are out of money. Money is the common currency in this world.

I found a job, and I hope you will go to work and earn money according to the route and method I will give you later, otherwise we won't even be able to afford food after a while.

After all, my body now is also your body, so we can be said to share the same fate, right?

So... I hope you can understand.

Next is the identification and riding method of buses and taxis, as well as the construction site address and home address...

Written at the end.

Remember, remember, remember to pay!"

Work?

Qi Zixiao frowned slightly. The word "work" simply didn't exist in her dictionary.

Growing up in the Holy Land, she had always been a prodigy. Who would make her work? However, if she didn't work to earn money, she wouldn't be able to eat?

Qi Zixiao suddenly felt a little conflicted.

If she couldn't afford to eat, should she go and see?

That's not right!

Can't I just rob?!

He seemed to have said that I couldn't rob things anymore, but why should I listen to him?

After a period of inner struggle, Qi Zixiao reluctantly decided to go and see first.

After all, it wasn't just she who controlled Lin Fan's body, her body was also under Lin Fan's control, which was equivalent to both sides controlling each other's 'weaknesses'.

Since that's the case, it's best not to do things the other party doesn't want you to do casually.

Then, Qi Zixiao set off.

This was the first time she had a purpose and wasn't blindly setting off in this world, which was very novel for Qi Zixiao...

After all, when she first transmigrated, she was completely in the dark, with almost zero knowledge of this world.

But now, thanks to Lin Fan's various video introductions, things were undoubtedly much better.
