[Five Animals Health Technique: The five animals harmonize, nourishing both body and spirit, making one immune to all illnesses.]

[Equipping grants the following attributes: Five Animals Health Technique (Mastered), Longevity]

[Five Animals Health Technique (Mastered): Mastered the techniques of the Five Animals Health Technique.]

[Longevity: Lifespan increased by 10 years.]

[Solidification Condition: Consume the five organs of Tiger Liver, Deer Kidney, Bear Spleen, Ape Heart, and Bird Lung.]

[Equip?]

Looking at the subtitles before him, Zhou Er had a general understanding of his golden finger.

Zhou Er was from the 21st Century. While traveling abroad, he was accidentally blown up by a missile and transmigrated to this world. However, for the first sixteen years, he failed to awaken the Mystery of the Womb and recall his Past Life Memory.

Unlike his previous life, although his family was well-off in this life, he was a Sickly Ghost.

An Expert once said he wouldn't live past sixteen. Today was Zhou Er's sixteenth birthday, and he was indeed about to die that night.

At this moment, in his daze, he recovered his Past Life Memory, a Last Burst of Energy.

But this was only temporary. The awakening of his Past Life Memory did not change Zhou Er's current dire situation. He was still a Sickly Person who could die at any moment.

Fortunately, along with Zhou Er's Past Life Memory, three Equipment Slots were also restored.

Equipment Slot, a Gaming Term, referred to the place where equipment was placed in a game.

Once equipment was placed, it would provide various attribute effects.

Zhou Er was a gamer in his previous life and naturally understood these things. He immediately found the Five Animals Health Technique he often practiced in this life and chose to equip it.

After equipping it, Zhou Er's complexion immediately became rosy, no longer as pale and colorless as before, regaining the appearance of a Youth.

At the same time, Zhou Er's mind was instantly filled with the mastered techniques of the Five Animals Play.

[Name: Zhou Er]

[Cultivation: None]

[Equipment Slot (1/3): Five Animals Health Technique]

[Unsolidified Attributes: Five Animals Health Technique (Mastered), Longevity.]

[Solidified Attributes: None]

Zhou Er tidied up his panel and found that it had three Equipment Slots and some attributes.

Attributes were divided into solidified and unsolidified. Solidified attributes were permanently effective; even if the equipment was removed later, the attribute effects from this equipment would not disappear.

Unsolidified attributes are the opposite. Unsolidified attributes only take effect when the equipment is placed in the Equipment Slot, and lose their effect when the equipment is removed.

"Tiger Liver, Deer Kidney, Bear Spleen, Ape Heart, Bird Lung. This world is similar to Ancient China, so there shouldn't be any Wildlife Protection. These things should be easy to get."

Zhou Er thought about it. Fortunately, the solidification conditions for these two attributes were not too difficult for his current well-off family.

It was not yet dawn, and Zhou Er couldn't sleep. He started practicing the moves of the Five Animal Health Fist in his room, his every movement natural and unforced.

After all, this was the perfected Five Animal Health Fist. It required a martial artist to have immersed themselves in this path for many years to achieve such a level.

"Young Master!"

Zhou Er's Maid, Cai Huan, entered the room and was shocked to find Zhou Er already awake. She said:

"Young Master, why are you practicing martial arts without even getting dressed? Be careful not to catch a cold."

"I had a lot of inspiration for my boxing today, so I got up to practice a bit."

Zhou Er originally wanted to dress himself, but the clothes of a wealthy family in this era were complicated with many ropes and buttons. He had hardly ever dressed himself in this life.

He tried a few times, but the clothes just got tangled up. Zhou Er, wearing only a thin Inner Lining, started practicing in the courtyard.

Men!

They are boys until they die.

He had just acquired a new set of boxing moves, and he couldn't resist practicing them.

"Young Master, please sit down. Let me help you. If anything were to happen to you, Cai Huan wouldn't want to live either."

Cai Huan quickly made Zhou Er sit down and found clothes for him to wear.

Her words were not empty threats. She was a servant, and Zhou Er was her master.

If anything happened to her master, her master's father would surely skin her alive.

Although Zhou Er felt that the girl was overreacting, he remembered that in this life, he was a Sickly Person, and his whole family took care of him, fearing any mishap. He didn't say much and obediently sat down.

After Zhou Er was dressed, he thought about going to greet his father, considering the Feudal Etiquette.

At the same time, Zhou Er wanted to talk to his father about wanting to eat Bear Heart Leopard Gall.

After all, the number of Equipment Slots was limited, and Zhou Er needed to solidify those two attributes as soon as possible so he could equip new attributes.

After he finished his Wash, Zhou Er went to his father's room and greeted him.

"Xiao Er, why are you up so early to greet me?"

Father Zhou, Zhou Zefa, seeing his beloved eldest son come to greet him personally, asked with some concern.

In recent years, they had seen Zhou Er's physical condition deteriorate year by year, becoming weaker than an old man on the verge of death.

"Father! I just thought that since I'm so grown up now, I haven't paid my respects to you a few times, so I came."

Zhou Er said.

Zhou Zefa observed Zhou Er's current state and complexion, finding that he was much better than before, with significantly more spirit and energy, which surprised him greatly.

"Little Er, your complexion really looks much better."

Zhou Zefa said with a smile.

Men have special feelings for their first child, especially when this child has been sickly since childhood and lost his mother at a young age, making him feel even more pained and indebted.

Zhou Er was Zhou Zefa's legitimate eldest son. Although Zhou Zefa had chosen someone else to inherit the family business due to Zhou Er's poor health, he had not given up on Zhou Er and had sought medical help everywhere.

"Perhaps the Five Animals Health Technique I've been practicing recently has taken effect, and my body has recovered somewhat."

Zhou Er said.

He was not lying; he had indeed extended his life by ten years with this health technique, which allowed him to stand here.

"Good! That's great! Master Cao, who taught you the Five Animal Health Fist, deserves a reward! Steward Zhao, go and give Master Cao ten taels of silver."

Zhou Zefa said to Steward Zhao beside him.

"Yes!"

Steward Zhao immediately arranged for someone to deliver the silver.

These ten taels of silver were a reward in addition to the normal payment, enough to buy over a thousand catties of grain, which was no small amount.

"This martial art is so effective, I want to practice it too, Father."

Zhou Zefa looked at Zhou Er and said with a smile.

A martial art that could restore Zhou Er's complexion was truly astonishing.

"Father! If you want to learn, I can teach you."

Zhou Er volunteered.

"Alright! I happen to have time now."

Seeing this, Zhou Zefa didn't mind. He was usually busy with trivial matters, and Zhou Er was sickly every day, so he hadn't spent much time with him.

This was a good opportunity for the father and son to strengthen their bond.

They went to the courtyard, and Zhou Er assumed a stance, teaching Zhou Zefa the skill method of the Five Animal Health Fist.

"Xiao Er, is it like this?"

After some time, although Zhou Zefa's movements were not quite right, he could already imitate all the actions Zhou Er demonstrated.

"It's almost there. This martial art takes time to practice," Zhou Er said.

"Hahaha, when we have time in the future, my father and son will practice more," Zhou Zefa said with a laugh.

"By the way, Dad, I've been wanting to eat game recently. Can you get me some tiger liver, deer kidney, bear spleen, ape heart, and bird lung to try?" Zhou Er finally revealed his purpose.

"Xiao Er, why do you suddenly want to eat these?" Zhou Zefa was a little strange.

(Search by book title not found, you can try searching by author, maybe the name was just changed!)

Because Zhou Er's body was weak before, he couldn't eat these things, and Zhou Zefa had never let him eat them. Why did Zhou Er suddenly want to eat these things?

"Dad! I just want to try what these wild delicacies taste like," Zhou Er said.

"Okay! It's rare for Xiao Er to have an appetite. I'll arrange for someone to find them right away." Zhou Zefa didn't care about Zhou Er's requests and instructed Steward Zhao to find hunters to buy them.

Hunting is allowed on the mountain now. Except for tigers and bears, which are difficult to hunt, the others are easy to find.

For example, for bird lung, the Zhou family's kitchen stewed chicken soup for Zhou Er that noon, saving the chicken lungs.

After Zhou Er ate it, the solidification condition was completed by twenty percent.

However, he wasn't in a hurry, as he still had two equipment slots.

As for these two equipment slots, Zhou Er was a bit unsure what to equip.

Zhou Er chose a sword that the family guards carried.

[Iron Sword: An ordinary iron sword forged by an ordinary craftsman.]

[Equipping grants the attribute: Strength Increase (White)]

[Strength Increase (White): Slightly boosts strength.]

[Solidification Condition: Defeat the previous owner of this sword.]

[Equip?]

Seeing how simple the solidification condition was, Zhou Er immediately became interested. This was tailor-made for him.

"Young Master, can you return my sword?"

Guard Liu said nervously. He was afraid his sword would accidentally injure the frail Young Master.

"No."

Zhou Er took the sword and ran back to his room, locking the door.

"Young Master! Stop being naughty."

Guard Liu shouted from outside. He didn't dare to force his way in, fearing the Young Master would get hurt.

Otherwise, he could easily snatch his sword back.

Zhou Er quietly equipped the Iron Sword in his room. The Iron Sword disappeared, and Zhou Er immediately felt his strength increase.

"Now, as long as I defeat Guard Liu outside, this power will be mine forever."

Zhou Er felt the strength in his body and thought.

Then, he walked out of the room and said:

"Guard Liu, let's have a fight. If you win, I'll return the sword to you. If you lose, this sword will be mine."

Hearing Zhou Er's words, Guard Liu immediately became troubled.

Although it was just an ordinary Iron Sword, it was also half a month's wages he had spent to buy it. But he couldn't bring himself to injure his employer's Young Master.

"Young Master, I'll lose. Please give me back my sword."

Guard Liu pleaded.

"How about this? If you win against me, I'll give you another one hundred taels of silver. Do you agree?"

Zhou Er thought for a moment. He had indeed been too overbearing just now, using the Iron Sword, which belonged to Guard Liu, as a stake. Naturally, Guard Liu wouldn't agree.

Now, he added some stakes himself, and Guard Liu began to waver.

'I'll be careful not to hurt the Young Master. If I can get a hundred taels of silver, why not?'

Guard Liu thought this and nodded, saying:

"Young Master, let's just spar lightly. Please go easy on me."

Guard Liu wasn't afraid that Zhou Er would go back on his word. Even if he did, he could still ask his master, Zhou Zefa, to intervene.

Zhou Er smiled and followed Guard Liu to the family's training ground.

"Young Master, if you want to fight, Cai Huan will fight with you. Why are you fighting with Guard Liu? Guard Liu has been practicing martial arts for over ten years and has a lot of strength. Be careful not to injure yourself."

Cai Huan said worriedly.

For over ten years, Zhou Er had been frail and sickly. Now that he had finally recovered a bit, he wanted to pick a fight.

"Cai Huan, don't worry about it."

Zhou Er was eager to obtain attributes, and fighting with Cai Huan wouldn't give him any.

He waved Cai Huan away, and Zhou Er took his stance opposite Guard Liu.

After a mutual bow, Guard Liu stood still, clearly intending to let Zhou Er make the first move.

Seeing this, Zhou Er didn't hesitate. His hands formed claws, and he lunged fiercely at Guard Liu, his movements swift, like an eagle swooping.

Guard Liu was stunned by this display.

Why did he feel like the Young Master's move had a divine quality to it, like a seasoned master who had practiced for decades?

Guard Liu did remember that the Young Master had apparently learned a martial art called the Five Animals Health Technique, but that was a health-preserving art with no practical combat effect.

Guard Liu didn't have time to ponder. Zhou Er's fierce attack had already arrived.

Guard Liu immediately raised his hand to block. He had expected to easily block the attack from the frail Young Master.

But the force that struck his arm caused him pain. The strength was almost equal to his own.

After a few exchanges, Zhou Er changed his moves, directly overwhelming Guard Liu.

Before Guard Liu could concede, Zhou Er had already seen the result.

[Successfully defeated the previous owner of Iron Sword.]

[Attribute solidified: Strength Increase (White)]

"Guard Liu, thank you for going easy on me."

Zhou Er retracted his hands and helped the fallen Guard Liu to his feet.

"Is this the Five Animals Health Technique, Young Master?"

Guard Liu asked in disbelief.

He hadn't expected the Five Animals Health Technique to be cultivable to this extent; it truly surprised him.

"That's right."

Zhou Er nodded, then walked back to his room, retrieved the Iron Sword, and returned it to Guard Liu.

Now that he had solidified his attributes, he no longer needed this Iron Sword.

"This is what I lost to Young Master. Take it!"

Guard Liu accepted his loss.

"Guard Liu is joking. I just wanted to spar with Guard Liu; I didn't really intend to take Guard Liu's beloved sword."

Zhou Er said with a smile.

Not only that, but Zhou Er also gave Guard Liu ten taels of silver as payment.

Guard Liu was already earning money from the Zhou family. When the Zhou family's young master gave him a reward, after a brief refusal, he accepted it.

Cai Huan, seeing Zhou Er win, secretly rejoiced.

In the evening, Zhou Er ate dinner with his father, Zhou Zefa, his stepmother, and his younger brother.

In front of Zhou Er was a plate of stir-fried ape heart, considered the second of the Five Animals Health Technique's attributes.

"Xiao Er, I heard you sparred with Guard Liu today and even won?"

Zhou Zefa, having heard about what happened at noon, asked curiously.

"Dad! Guard Liu was going easy on me! How could I possibly defeat Guard Liu?"

Zhou Er said, stuffing himself with stir-fried ape heart with green pepper.

"That's true. Guard Liu has been practicing martial arts for several years; he wouldn't be defeated so easily."

Zhou Zefa said with a smile.

During the meal, Zhou Er's stepmother didn't speak. She merely observed Zhou Er's current condition from time to time, feeling agitated.

Zhou Er had always looked like a sickly person on the verge of death since he was young. Zhou Zefa had already decided that her son would inherit the family business.

Now, seeing Zhou Er's condition improving, she feared it might shake her son's Inheritance Right.

This was not good.
