I was almost eaten at the beginning, luckily I was able to transfer the negative status

"If my poor child had such talent, he wouldn't have... Alas..."

Lin Shan suddenly sighed with melancholy, his face full of sadness and silence, and he looked as if he had suddenly aged several decades.

……

Time passed by minute by minute.

In the endless darkness imagined.

Although Zhou Heng tried his best to chase that ray of light, it was still out of reach and was gradually weakening.

In this situation where He prayed so hard but failed to get what He wanted, a trace of despair could not help but emerge from the depths of His heart.

Fortunately, his mind had long been as tough as iron. Despite the overwhelming despair, he remained unmoved and continued to chase the distant light, constantly maintaining the practice of the light-chasing visualization method.

……

at the same time.

Zhou Heng's body, which was soaking in the medicinal bath, began to emit a faint glow. His skin began to crack like broken porcelain, and a brighter light emanated from the cracks that were scattered like spider webs.

"This, this... This is about to shed its body!!"

Lin Shan, who was standing by, was extremely shocked.

He never thought that Zhou Heng could successfully transform his body after just his first practice. Such a heavenly speed of practice really made him, a frog in the well, sweat.

soon.

As the cracked skin all over his body was burned to ashes by the bright light, Zhou Heng's body seemed to be reborn and returned to its original state.

His physique was strengthened to a certain extent, and a special energy that could not be seen or touched gradually flowed from his body.

About changes in oneself.

Although Zhou Heng was still practicing the light-chasing visualization method at this moment, he could also sense it very clearly.

So, He stopped insisting and immediately came back to His senses from His meditation of chasing light and opened His exceptionally bright eyes.

"puff."

He gently spit out the egg-sized light stone from his mouth, which was now much dimmer than before.

Zhou Heng then continued to soak in the medicinal soup thoughtfully, looked at Lin Shan who was standing by and said with a smile:

"Uncle Lin, it seems... I have successfully transformed."

"Yes... the first transformation was successful..."

Lin Shan nodded with an incomprehensible expression on his face.

Then, he turned and left, saying:

"The medicinal properties of this soup are no longer effective on you, you can get up now.

After you have washed yourself, come to my room and I will tell you about the practice after the first molt."

Having said this, he had already walked out of the bathroom and closed the door behind him.

See this.

Zhou Heng did not delay too much. He immediately rinsed his body with the hot water that had been prepared next to the bathtub, then put on his clothes and walked out of the room.

I came outside the room which was completely dark because there was no light stone to illuminate it.

Zhou Heng discovered that his eyes seemed to be able to see through some of the darkness.

Obviously, this is most likely one of the effects of a successful shedding, being able to see at night. As the number of sheddings increases, this effect should also be improved, and eventually you may even be able to see the night as bright as day.

……

Quickly walked to Lin Shan’s bedroom.

Lin Shan was the only one in the room. He must have sent Aunt Lin to take care of Lin Ying.

"Sit down, take this."

As soon as Zhou Heng sat down, Lin Shan handed him a thin book.

See this.

He held the book and couldn't help but wonder:

"Uncle Lin, what is this?"

“This is the recipe for the body-transfiguring medicinal soup, which is different from the one before entering the first stage of transfiguration.

After successfully entering the first metamorphosis, if you want to transform your body again, then the method of oppressing the body will no longer be applicable. You can only absorb the light and heat stored in the light stone and the nourishment of the medicine through the light-chasing visualization method.

There are three medicinal soup recipes in this book. The first is the red leaf medicinal bath recipe that you took before, which is only suitable for people who have not undergone metamorphosis; the second is the red branch medicinal bath recipe that is suitable for people who have undergone one metamorphosis; and the last one is the branch and leaf medicinal bath recipe that is suitable for people who have undergone two metamorphosis.

The main ingredients used in these medicinal soup recipes are the new branches and tender leaves of the red leaf mulberry tree in Yangzhi, Hongye Village.

Yangzhi is a creature favored by heaven. It is said that even a strong man who has undergone nine transformations cannot hurt the grown parts of it in the slightest.

Therefore, only new branches and tender leaves can be picked. If you want the red-leaf mulberry to grow enough new branches and tender leaves, you need to feed it enough exotic animal meat.

The distribution of new branches and tender leaves of red leaf mulberry in our Red Leaf Village is also determined by the contribution made during each hunting of exotic beasts.

Therefore, if you want to obtain enough medicinal soup to continue your cultivation, you must diligently hunt in the wilderness. Otherwise, even as the village chief, I cannot force you to have too much medicinal soup."

"Do I need to hunt exotic beasts to obtain the medicinal soup to continue my transformation?"

Zhou Heng narrowed his eyes slightly.

After a moment, He put away the book and nodded gently:

"Uncle Lin, I understand. I will definitely hunt exotic beasts well from now on."

"Well, it's good that you understand this. However, although you have successfully transformed, only your physical fitness has been strengthened.

If you want to go into the wilderness to hunt exotic beasts, you can't just rely on strong physical fitness, you also have to learn various martial arts to fully exert your combat power.

After all, exotic beasts are different from ordinary beasts. They are also extraordinary creatures, and many exotic beasts are inherently much stronger than us humans. We humans must master sharp weapons and exquisite martial arts to fight against them.

Now you haven't even mastered the most basic Kaishan Fist, so don't go out hunting for the time being. Wait until you have mastered Kaishan Fist and Guanhong Spear.

Well, it's getting late, so I'll stop here for today. I'll continue teaching you martial arts tomorrow. Go back and have a good rest."

Lin Shan waved his hand to drive them away.

See this.

Zhou Heng did not want to stay any longer and immediately stood up to say goodbye.

……

Return to your bedroom.

[Negative status transfer system]

[Host: Zhou Heng]

[Life Level: Ninth Level]

[Main Transcendent Path: None]

[Secondary Extraordinary Path: None]

[Cultivation Realm: Transcendent First Realm (Void)]

Internal transformation: a transformation (virtual)

[The rest is omitted...]

Looking at the system panel, there was no change except for the cultivation level.

Zhou Heng couldn't help but frown.

"The main and secondary transcendent paths remain unchanged, and the word 'virtual' is added after the cultivation realm.

It seems that if I am not mistaken, this realm should be false and can only be used in the world created by this unknown existence.

However, the practice of this metamorphosis is quite interesting. Each metamorphosis reaches the limit of physical fitness. If you want to become stronger, you have to metamorphose again. There is no transition process in between that can allow for gradual growth.

Furthermore, the improvement in strength after this transformation is too weak."

Think of this.

Zhou Heng's brows suddenly furrowed even more tightly.
