Great Zhou Dynasty, Lin Chang Commandery, Chen Family Village, inside a lonely house nestled at the foot of a mountain.

[Chen Mo] Race: Human Gender: Male Age: 15/21 Aptitude: Mediocre Aptitude Skills: Archery (Initiation) Technique: Health Cultivation Technique (Initiation) Realm: Trash Tier Enlightenment Count: 2

Looking at the panel, Chen Mo had spent two days digesting all the memories of the previous owner of this body. His expression remained calm.

"If I don't use my daily chance for epiphany, it won't disappear. Instead, it will accumulate into the next day. I just wonder how effective an epiphany will be?"

He was a transmigrator.

He had come from Earth to this world, one resembling ancient China, and become the sickly son of an unassuming hunter from Chen Family Village.

At first, he had been deeply lost and terrified. Gradually, Chen Mo accepted the reality that he had transmigrated.

He was already here and could not return. What else could he do?

He could only accept it.

Besides, on Earth, he had merely been an ordinary unmarried man.

Twenty years spent studying, thirty years paying off a mortgage, and then spending the rest of his life waiting to die. He could see the end of his life at a glance.

Just thinking about it made him feel exhausted.

Being able to begin a new life in a new world was not necessarily a bad thing for him.

Besides, his younger brother was still at home on Earth, so he did not need to worry that his parents would have no one to care for them in their old age.

Since he had never married, the more than two hundred thousand yuan he had saved from working over the years should all go to his parents. It could be considered repayment for their kindness in raising him.

"I just hope the bank doesn't pull any tricks." Chen Mo shook his head and stopped dwelling on it.

Nothing from his previous life could be changed, nor could he return to Earth.

A person still had to focus on the present.

Not long after Chen Mo transmigrated here, his parents in this world had both been Sacrificed to Heaven while hunting in the mountains. The previous owner had become ill from grief. Already in poor health because he had been born prematurely, he had simply breathed his last, leaving Chen Mo to take over the body.

Over the past two days, Chen Mo had successfully digested the previous owner's memories and gained a certain understanding of this world.

Because the previous owner had been a Sickly person who rarely left the house since childhood, and because Chen Family Village itself was rather isolated and poorly informed, his knowledge had been quite shallow.

Yet one thing had drawn Chen Mo's particular attention: martial artists existed in this world.

In the previous owner's understanding, powerful martial artists could shatter mountains with their palms and sever rivers with their fists, like immortals.

Even ordinary martial artists, like Chen Chao, captain of Chen Family Village's Hunting Team, possessed the strength of bulls and could fight ten men alone without difficulty.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo knew that his previous ideas of getting rich no longer applied.

In a world where martial artists were so powerful, personal strength was the most important thing. Otherwise, no matter how much money one earned, one would not be able to keep it.

If the best way for ordinary people to rise in his previous life on Earth had been the college entrance examination, then in this world, becoming a martial artist was a good choice for anyone wishing to rise above others.

His gaze shifted to the technique section of the panel. Because the previous owner had been in poor health since childhood, his parents had sought doctors everywhere. In the end, they had nearly emptied their savings to obtain a Health Cultivation Technique from a traveling Daoist priest.

The previous owner had practiced for over a year before barely reaching Initiation, fully living up to the potential evaluation of Mediocre Aptitude.

After reaching Initiation in the Health Cultivation Technique, his physical condition had indeed improved somewhat, proving that the technique was useful.

"From my memories, the village also has a cultivation technique. Once someone reaches sixteen, they can receive it and train under guidance. However, that technique has certain requirements for physical fitness. With my current condition, I obviously can't meet them."

Taking a deep breath, Chen Mo looked at the age section. With only six years of Lifespan remaining, his most urgent task was to resolve his physical problems and increase his lifespan. Therefore, cultivating the Health Cultivation Technique was his highest priority.

If you can't find the book by searching its title, try searching for the author. It may simply have been renamed!

He had no other choice.

"Let me see just how effective this epiphany really is."

Without hesitation, Chen Mo moved his mind and used one epiphany on the Health Cultivation Technique.

In an instant, he seemed to be placed within an independent space. A miniature version of himself continuously practiced the Health Cultivation Technique within it. From his movements to his breathing, everything was incomparably precise, without the slightest flaw.

As the practice continued, all kinds of insights into the Health Cultivation Technique surfaced in Chen Mo's mind, and his body changed along with them.

Who knew how much time passed...

The epiphany abruptly ended, and his consciousness gradually returned. Without a clock, Chen Mo did not know how much time had passed in the real world. He only felt sticky all over, and an unbearable fishy stench wafted from his body.

"So stinky~"

Chen Mo sprang to his feet and rushed outside at top speed.

His home was beside the river, saving him the trouble of searching for water.

He quickly stripped off his clothes and leaped into the river. The originally clear water was soon stained with a layer of inky grime, which rippled away with the current.

Half an hour later...

"So comfortable~"

After washing the filth from his body and getting rid of the odor, Chen Mo did not immediately leave the river. With a thought, the panel appeared before him. He discovered that the Health Cultivation Technique had changed from Initiation to Proficient, while his Lifespan upper limit had increased by five years.

"It seems this technique really can increase my lifespan. But after reaching the Proficient level, my realm is still Trash Tier. Is it because the technique's level isn't high enough, or does this Health Cultivation Technique only have health-preserving effects?"

There was no use overthinking it. Chen Mo made his decision immediately and used his remaining chance for epiphany. He would receive another chance tomorrow anyway, so there was no need to be stingy.

The familiar scene appeared again. Once more, Chen Mo entered that space. It was as if he had activated a god's-eye view, watching the miniature version of himself continuously practice the Health Cultivation Technique.

All kinds of insights into the Health Cultivation Technique poured into his mind.

There was not the slightest sense of obstruction. Every insight was absorbed as naturally as water flowing into a channel, becoming Chen Mo's own understanding of the Health Cultivation Technique. His body changed just as it had before.

Compared to the first epiphany, the changes in Chen Mo's body this time were even more obvious. Without testing himself, he did not know exactly how much he had improved, but he felt that if he threw a punch with all his strength now, he could definitely beat a brat to death.

Who knew how much time passed before the epiphany ended.

The first time was unfamiliar, the second time practiced. Chen Mo slowly opened his eyes, his gaze bright and sharp as his consciousness returned instantly. A faint fishy stench entered his nostrils.

He examined himself and found that compared to before, far fewer Impurities had been expelled onto the surface of his body this time.

"After a few more times, will there be no Impurities left in my body?" Chen Mo guessed.

Without stopping, he cleaned his body in the river while summoning the panel.

[Chen Mo] Race: Human Gender: Male Age: 15/34 Aptitude: Mediocre Aptitude Skills: Archery (Initiation) Technique: Health Cultivation Technique (Minor Accomplishment) Realm: Trash Tier Enlightenment Count: 0

"Health Cultivation Technique at Minor Accomplishment! My Lifespan upper limit has increased from twenty-six to thirty-four, adding eight years, but my realm is still Trash Tier."

The changes in his body could not lie. Even though his realm remained Trash Tier, Chen Mo knew that he had become much stronger.

Originally, he had possessed a mere six years of Lifespan. After two epiphanies, he had raised the Health Cultivation Technique to Minor Accomplishment, and his remaining lifespan had increased to nineteen years. It was much more pleasing to look at.

Moreover, the former heaviness and weakness in his body had vanished, replaced by a clear sense of lightness and strength. He simply did not know whether he now met the village technique's cultivation requirements.

Picking up the clothes he had thrown by the riverbank, Chen Mo returned to the house as quickly as possible. Fortunately, his home was located upstream on the river at the edge of the village, backed against a cliff. Aside from the occasional person coming to fetch water, almost no one came here.

Otherwise, he would have been seen naked. That would have been rather awkward.

After changing into clean clothes and entering the courtyard, Chen Mo prepared to experience the changes in his body...
