Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique

Holding the purple-gold book he had taken from the system space, Chu He could not bear to put it down.

"Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique."

His expression was filled with excitement.

This was the legendary method from novels, capable of granting the body and soul eternal indestructibility.

Chu He could not resist beginning to learn it.

There was one benefit to the Secret Manuals rewarded by the Sign-in System: he did not need to understand and study them word by word. He only needed to press the golden Secret Manual against his brow to learn it.

Thus, Chu He touched the Secret Manual to his forehead. The next instant, it transformed into a streak of purple-gold light and plunged directly into his brow, while an enormous amount of information appeared in his mind.

Chu He closed his eyes and carefully savored it.

Only after a long while did he open them again.

Having absorbed the basic contents of the Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique, he was no longer completely ignorant when it came to cultivation.

Although there was no change in him yet, that was only because he had not begun cultivating.

Once he signed in for resources and had the proper conditions, he could begin cultivating and soar in strength very quickly.

Chu He was not in much of a hurry either.

He was only a menial servant who swept floors. There was no danger, and he had plenty of free time to take things slowly.

In any case, he had made up his mind to stay in this Book Repository from now on, steadily increase his strength, and go out as little as possible when he had nothing to do—lying low until he carved out a heaven for himself.

Next, Chu He began sweeping.

After all, it was his job.

Once he had finished cleaning, he began searching the shelves for books to read.

Although he had lost most of the original owner's memories after transmigrating here, after learning the Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique, the writing of this world no longer posed any difficulty for him.

The script used in the Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique was the same as that of this world.

Suddenly.

A book caught Chu He's attention.

"Records of the Great Wilderness."

He picked it up and began flipping through it.

"Damn, this Great Wilderness is dangerous as hell."

After finishing it, Chu He's expression changed drastically.

He had originally thought that people in this world who could cultivate Cultivation Methods were incredibly formidable.

But who would have thought that throughout the entire Great Wilderness, the Human Clan was merely in the middle of the food chain—at least Xia Kingdom was.

There were countless races across the Great Wilderness.

They were ranked from one to nine.

The grades of every race were divided accordingly.

First Rank was the lowest, Ninth Rank the highest.

And the Xia Clan was Third Rank.

Near the top among the lower three ranks.

In the Great Wilderness, countless races could stand over the Xia Clan's heads and shit on them.

Moreover, the rank of a race was determined entirely by the strongest fighter within that race.

This was a world where a single expert could raise the status of a bottom-tier race without limit.

Experts possessed peerless combat strength.

A claw could annihilate a race; one stomp could suppress heaven and earth.

Such things were nothing unusual in the Great Wilderness.

At lower realms, there were still many variables in battle, and victory could even be achieved through numbers.

But the higher one's realm, the greater the gap between levels of combat strength, the fewer the variables, and the more useless sheer numbers became—unless it was a group assault by people of the same level.

"In that case, I need to be even more careful. I absolutely can't go recklessly showing off."

Chu He muttered to himself.

The information in the book only strengthened his resolve to lie low and stay steady.

This was a world where martial arts could reach the divine, where a wave of the hand could burst apart the firmament.

He had made up his mind: unless he cultivated the Golden Body Technique to completion, he would not leave.

If he acted like those protagonists in novels and went out recklessly after gaining a little strength, some great expert might take a dislike to him and crush him to death.

He had a Golden Finger, and it was even a Sign-in System. He ought to lie low.

The next day.

Chu He got up early and arrived at the Book Repository, where the first thing he did was sign in.

"Ding. Host has successfully signed in. Reward: one bottle of Body Tempering Pills."

The system prompt appeared on the panel.

At the same time, a bottle of Pills appeared in the system space.

He took it out and poured out one pill.

It was the size of a soybean, entirely white, with a medicinal fragrance drifting around it.

With a thought, Chu He checked the introduction for the Body Tempering Pill.

It was used to assist body-tempering cultivation and was very suitable for him.

Chu He's face lit up with delight.

Just as he needed something, it arrived. The system truly was considerate, knowing that cultivation resources were what he lacked most right now.

He was only a floor-sweeping servant of the Lin Family. His three daily meals were nothing but thin gruel and plain water, utterly incapable of supporting his cultivation.

Now that he had Body Tempering Pills, things were different.

There were twenty pills in this bottle, enough to support his cultivation for some time.

Chu He went to a concealed spot in the inner section of the Book Repository, removed his outer robe, swallowed a pill directly, then assumed the cultivation posture of the Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique and began cultivating.

The Body Tempering Pill dissolved as soon as it entered his mouth, surging through his limbs and bones along the circulation route of the Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique.

In the blink of an eye, his entire body became scorching hot at a visible rate, as though he had entered a steamer, wisps of vapor curling around him.

It had to be said that the Body Tempering Pill's effects were excellent, and it was a perfect match for the Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique.

His muscles and bones gave off dull sounds, like muffled thunder rumbling, while the muscles of his body gradually became firmer.

Soon, the medicinal power was refined.

Chu He returned to a normal standing posture and exhaled a breath of white turbid air.

Feeling the powerful strength within his muscles, a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

"Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique, First Layer of the First Transformation."

It had to be said that the effects of the Pills were excellent.

Without Pills, if he wanted to enter the path of cultivation through sheer grinding effort alone, it would likely have been extraordinarily difficult.

After finishing his cultivation, Chu He began cleaning diligently.

He had only finished cleaning half the place when someone came in to read.

They were several half-grown boys.

They were likely young masters of the Lin Family.

They went straight to find the Records of Xia Kingdom's Jianghu Heroes and read with great interest, occasionally discussing it aloud. None of them caused trouble for Chu He, a lowly servant.

Two hours later, the young masters reluctantly put down their books and left. They still had martial arts lessons to practice.

Chu He, who had already casually cleaned the other areas, walked over and tidied up the places where they had been. Then he shut the door, went to a secluded spot at the side, swallowed another pill, and began practicing again.
