2: Chapter 2 Primordial Holy Body

Not long after the System's voice sounded, Xiao Yuchen was pleasantly surprised to find a small, antique wooden box by his bed.

He curiously opened the wooden box. An antique book was lying inside, along with four jade bottles and a pile of green stones.

"This... I'm not dreaming, am I? Could everything that just happened be real? Did I really activate the cultivation system?"

Xiao Yuchen suppressed the excitement in his heart and took the antique book out of the box; it was exactly that Cultivation Technique called the Energy Absorption Technique.

Although this book was not written in modern Chinese characters, it seemed that after activating the cultivation system, Xiao Yuchen could recognize these strange scripts.

Opening the first page of the Energy Absorption Technique, he found an introduction to this Cultivation Technique, and Xiao Yuchen began to read it carefully.

Ten minutes later, Xiao Yuchen's face was filled with surprise, marveling at the wonder of this Cultivation Technique. The so-called Energy Absorption Technique was about absorbing all kinds of energy from heaven and earth.

Normally, Cultivate involves Spiritual Qi, but after Cultivating the Energy Absorption Technique, one could also absorb any form of energy from heaven and earth to improve one's own cultivation level.

For example, the power of lightning, wind, fire, water, and so on.

Not only that, other external forces could also be absorbed. For instance, if someone punched you, you could likewise absorb the power of that punch, thereby increasing your own strength.

Of course, the speed of absorbing power and the absorption capacity were directly related to one's own strength and had to be within one's own tolerance range.

If the opponent's energy was too great, it would still lead to injury or even death.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yuchen actually burst into laughter. With this Energy Absorption Technique, wouldn't he be invincible in the future? The people around him would simply be unable to harm him.

Of course, the benefits didn't stop there. After Cultivating the Energy Absorption Technique, one could develop a Spiritual Root, and there was a probability of developing a rare Spiritual Root. A Spiritual Root was an essential condition for being a Cultivator.

Earth's Spiritual Qi was thin now, and very few people could be born with a Spiritual Root, which was why Cultivators seemed to be nowhere to be seen on Earth.

Yet now, as long as he Cultivated the Energy Absorption Technique, he could become a Cultivator; this was simply a tremendous blessing.

Abandoning the idea of Cultivating immediately, Xiao Yuchen shifted his gaze to the four jade bottles nearby. After checking the names on them one by one, Xiao Yuchen understood that these were the four types of Medicinal Pill.

Crucially, there was even an introduction to the Medicinal Pill on each jade bottle; this cultivation system was truly thoughtful.

Xiao Yuchen first picked up the bottle of body tempering pill, gently opened the cap, and a fragrance of the pill instantly flooded his nostrils.

He had only eaten a hard steamed bun last night and was already hungry, yet after smelling the fragrance of the pill, that feeling of hunger instantly vanished.

"Wow! This is too amazing."

Xiao Yuchen hurriedly checked the introduction for the body tempering pill; it turned out that this body tempering pill was a type of Medicinal Pill for improving one's Physique.

After taking the body tempering pill, the user's physical fitness would significantly improve, and speed, strength, and defense would all grow exponentially.

Furthermore, this body tempering pill could eliminate the Impurities in the user's body, allowing for a rebirth, and one's temperament would also improve accordingly.

Xiao Yuchen suppressed the excitement in his heart and checked the introductions for the other three types of Medicinal Pill one by one.

Low Grade Power Accumulation Pill: After taking it, the user's combat power could be increased by two times for a short period, lasting for two hours. After two hours, the body would enter a weakened state.

Low Grade resurrection pill: This is a life-saving Divine Pill. Regardless of how severe your injuries are or what illness you have, as long as you still have one breath left, taking the resurrection pill will allow you to quickly recover your health.

Low Grade youth-preserving pill: It can increase one's lifespan by a hundred years while allowing you to remain forever young; it is a favorite among girls.

It was a pity that except for the body tempering pill, which was top-grade, the other three were all Low Grade Medicinal Pill.

But after all, they were Medicinal Pill, so their effects would certainly not be wrong. If these Medicinal Pill were taken to an auction, they would definitely fetch an astronomical price and would even be priceless.

After finishing looking at these four bottles of Medicinal Pill, Xiao Yuchen picked up a Spirit Stone and observed it carefully.

The surface of this Spirit Stone was smooth and cool to the touch, very much like jade. Perhaps because he had not yet Cultivated the Energy Absorption Technique, Xiao Yuchen did not feel any Spiritual Qi.

After checking the novice gift package, Xiao Yuchen nodded with satisfaction and picked up the Energy Absorption Technique book again. He could no longer resist Cultivating this Heaven-Defying Cultivation Technique.

Just as he picked up the Energy Absorption Technique, the System's voice sounded again.

"Ding! Detected that the host has a Prehistoric Sacred Body, possesses anti-strike capabilities surpassing ordinary people, can absorb external forces to strengthen oneself, and possesses strong regenerative power. After Cultivating the Energy Absorption Technique, the host's Physique can be fully developed. Do you wish to Cultivate?"

Hearing the System's voice again, Xiao Yuchen was stunned on the spot. This System was truly too thoughtful; he was just about to Cultivate, and the System sent a message.

"Cultivate!" Xiao Yuchen did not hesitate at all.

"Okay, please wait a moment!"

As soon as those words fell, Xiao Yuchen felt a massive amount of information flooding into his mind. A powerful force impacted the important Acupoints and Meridians of his body, causing him immense pain.

"Ah!"

After struggling for over ten minutes, the pain gradually disappeared. Xiao Yuchen felt that his body had undergone a huge change, and his strength seemed to have increased a lot. Now he had the confidence to kill a cow with one punch.

"Ding, Cultivation is complete. Please check it yourself, host."

"What? It's already done?"

Xiao Yuchen was somewhat speechless. He thought he would have to study it carefully; after all, such a profound Cultivation Technique would surely take some time to learn.

But he didn't expect the System to let him instantly comprehend it, and without any mistakes—this was truly awesome.

"Since it can force-feed information, why give me this book? Is it worried that I won't have toilet paper when I go to the bathroom?"

Xiao Yuchen just complained in his heart, then put away the Energy Absorption Technique. This was a priceless treasure, after all; he couldn't possibly use it as toilet paper, and besides, it wouldn't work well.

Because he was too excited, Xiao Yuchen had no desire to sleep at all. He sat in meditation until dawn, running the Energy Absorption Technique through several cycles.

Phew!

Xiao Yuchen gently exhaled a breath of turbid air. After some Cultivation, he felt refreshed, but he didn't know if he counted as a Cultivator now, or if he had developed a Spiritual Root.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for reaching the second level of the Qi Refinement Stage and developing a rare Derivative Spiritual Root."

"Eh? A rare Derivative Spiritual Root? What kind of attribute is that?"

"Ding! The Derivative Spiritual Root is the source of all Spiritual Roots. It can evolve into Spiritual Roots of any attribute, and there is no upper limit to the number of Spiritual Roots."

"What? This is too Heaven-Defying. Doesn't this mean I can master the power of all elements?

If that's really the case, wouldn't I be invincible among those of the same level in the future, or even capable of fighting across levels or stages? As expected, the System never disappoints."

After calming down for a while, Xiao Yuchen finally accepted this reality.

Since the effect of this Energy Absorption Technique was so miraculous, presumably this body tempering pill wouldn't disappoint him either; after all, this was a top-grade body tempering pill.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yuchen took out a body tempering pill and tossed it directly into his mouth.

The Medicinal Pill melted as soon as it entered his mouth, and a gentle force instantly flooded into the four limbs and bones of his body, strengthening his muscles, bones, and Meridians once over.

Because the System had already cleared all his Meridians when he Cultivated the Energy Absorption Technique, this strengthening didn't cause any pain.

Half an hour later, many black substances appeared on the surface of Xiao Yuchen's body; this must be the Impurities in his body being expelled.
