Body Tempering Realm

"System prompt: Would player Qin Shaofeng like to learn the Saint-grade Yi Jin Jing and the God-grade skill Fiery Golden Eyes?"

Just as Qin Shaofeng was bursting with excitement, the system's mechanical voice sounded again.

"Learn them! Of course I'll learn them! I definitely will! Do you even have to ask?" Qin Shaofeng shouted excitedly.

Buzz!

As soon as Qin Shaofeng spoke, he felt the attribute interface before him tremble slightly. The next moment, two skills had appeared in his skill list.

Then Qin Shaofeng felt his body undergo some kind of change.

At first, it was his eyes. Although there were several bright lights in his room, it was still pitch-black outside. On top of that, his serious injuries had yet to heal, his body still ached, and his mind was a little foggy.

So when he looked around the room, it seemed rather dim.

But at that moment, he suddenly felt a cool clarity wash over his mind, and he became wide awake.

Even more incredible, his vision brightened too.

Wherever his gaze fell, Qin Shaofeng no longer saw a dim scene. Everything was bright, just like daytime.

He soon realized that everything in his field of vision was crystal clear. Even a tiny bug on the door several meters away stood out sharply.

He could make out not just its shape and appearance, but even its several tiny legs, clear as day.

There was no need to say it: Qin Shaofeng knew his vision had become so clear because he now possessed Fiery Golden Eyes.

"As expected of a God-grade skill! Fiery Golden Eyes gives me such incredible abilities!"

Qin Shaofeng was astonished, delight written all over his face. Then another thought crossed his mind.

"If Fiery Golden Eyes has brought me such benefits, what about the Yi Jin Jing?"

The moment those words left his mouth, he immediately felt his body change as well.

A wave of heat suddenly rose from his abdomen, startling Qin Shaofeng.

"Th-this is Inner Qi?"

Qin Shaofeng was stunned.

His dantian had clearly been destroyed. There was no way Inner Qi could appear, yet the feeling in his abdomen...

"No mistake! This is what Inner Qi feels like!"

Recalling the sensation from his memories, Qin Shaofeng was certain that the wave of heat in his abdomen—his dantian—was Inner Qi, the kind that could only be awakened at the Body Tempering Triple Layer.

The Body Tempering Realm was the first realm of cultivation, and it had ten layers. After breaking through the tenth layer, one could advance to the next realm, the Houtian Realm, followed by the Xiantian Realm, the Spirit Vein Realm...

The cultivation realms Qin Shaofeng knew from his memories only went as far as the Spirit Vein Realm. The strongest cultivator in Lanjiang City was only at the Xiantian Realm; there wasn't even a single Spirit Vein Realm expert.

Having memories was one thing, but now that he could truly feel Inner Qi, Qin Shaofeng was thrilled.

"Damn, if I went back to Earth now, I'd probably be a martial arts master who could leap onto rooftops and vault over walls!"

With a whoosh, Qin Shaofeng sprang out of bed and threw a few punches into the air.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Following the sensation from his memories, Qin Shaofeng guided the wave of heat into his hands. As he swung his fists, they stirred up faint gusts of wind.

"This feels great!"

After swinging his fists for a while, Qin Shaofeng looked at them and laughed.

Only then did he realize that all the pain in his body, along with the injuries that had yet to heal, had completely disappeared.

Being able to punch with dozens of pounds of force filled Qin Shaofeng with excitement.

So this was cultivation?

Qin Shaofeng sighed, a glint of determination in his eyes.

"Since Heaven brought me to this world, then I, Qin Shaofeng, will make the most of it! I want to see just how far cultivation in this world can go!"

Although his dantian still hadn't fully recovered as it had in his memories,

Qin Shaofeng was certain that now that he had the Yi Jin Jing, the recovery of his dantian was only a matter of time.

Skills: Fiery Golden Eyes, Yi Jin Jing

Fiery Golden Eyes: Level 1, 0/0, God-grade active skill. This was Great Sage Equal to Heaven Sun Wukong's famous signature ability. Currently at level 1, it could see through the cultivation of anyone at the same realm, with a certain chance of discovering their weakness. It could also examine any other object and determine its level; the exact results depended on the player's level. Each use consumed 10 Inner Qi Points.

Yi Jin Jing: Level 1, 0/0, Saint-grade passive skill. Although it was not a God-grade cultivation art, it was special: it contained another cultivation art created by Old Ancestor Bodhidharma, the Marrow Cleansing Scripture, and thus possessed the powerful ability to transform the sinews and cleanse the marrow. Currently at level 1, it could increase the player's Inner Qi Points to three times their original amount. (At level 1, Yi Jin Jing restored 1 Inner Qi Point per minute.)
