Socially anxious me transmigrated to a world of cultivation.

The next day, instead of reading books as usual, Pingfan sat by the stream and stared blankly.

Suddenly, a girl appeared behind Pingfan. Seeing that he was in a daze, she slapped him on the back and teased him.

"Why the long face? Didn't I already say that I'd protect you from now on?"

After Li Muchan finished consolidating her cultivation, she came out and heard about Pingfan's situation from her parents.

So, wanting to comfort him, she went to the place where Pingfan often spaced out to find him.

Pingfan was interrupted from his daze and saw that it was Li Muchan, which made him both amused and exasperated.

The reason I'm standing here in a daze isn't because I can't cultivate, but because I'm thinking about how I should spend my time in this world.

After all, as an ordinary person, Pingfan's lifespan is limited, and for Li Muchan's family, it only passed in the blink of an eye.

Pingfan didn't want them to take care of him when he was old and frail.

Moreover, the body he currently possesses is only sixteen years old, but he is actually already a middle-aged man in his thirties.

Although he didn't know why he had transmigrated to this world with his body, and why he was more than ten years younger.

As for why Pingfan was so sure that he had transmigrated with his body, the reason was simple: if it were a soul transmigration, the body could not possibly contain chronic poison.

Furthermore, this body, in terms of both appearance and physique, is exactly the same as the one he lived in when he was sixteen.

When Li Muchan saw Pingfan looking at her, she fell into a daze again. Just as she was about to pat him again, she heard Pingfan speak slowly.

"I understand. I was just thinking about whether or not to become a body cultivator, so I wouldn't need your protection all the time."

Speaking of body cultivators, this is something I've seen in books, but body cultivators can only improve their physical health and cannot increase their lifespan.

However, it can enable body cultivators to contend with cultivators. But according to the records in the books, the highest achievement of a body cultivator is only to be able to fight against cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage.

Body refiners are divided into four levels: tempering, forging, shattering, and holy, which correspond to the Qi Refining stage, Foundation Establishment stage, Golden Core stage, and Nascent Soul stage, respectively.

The "Complete Body" stage is the limit for a body cultivator, allowing them to ignore the spells and magical treasures of cultivators when fighting against them.

However, once a cultivator breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, they can mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dao.

It's not that cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage can't do anything to those who practice Body Refinement.

Those who cultivate their bodies cannot sense spiritual energy, and therefore cannot use spiritual power, so they cannot fly or escape into the ground.

Once cultivators ascend to the heavens, those who practice body refinement can only look up from the ground.

Furthermore, some cultivators also cultivate their physical bodies, although their cultivation levels are not very high, it still gives them an additional means of survival.

When Li Muchan heard that Pingfan wanted to become a body cultivator, she was slightly taken aback, and then said with some displeasure.

"What, you don't believe in my sister's abilities?"

Upon hearing this, Pingfan quickly waved his hand and said urgently.

"No, I just wanted to see if I could succeed in my current state."

Hearing Pingfan say this, Li Muchan didn't know how to persuade him, after all, becoming a body cultivator was not an easy thing.

Even those with talent in body refinement need two hundred years to barely reach the Body Refinement stage.

However, ordinary people only have a lifespan of one hundred years, and no matter how talented they are, they can only reach the Body Tempering Realm.

Moreover, physical cultivation does not require refining spiritual energy like cultivators do; instead, it requires the flesh and blood of demonic beasts to temper the body.

During this time, if the body cannot withstand the powerful force within the flesh and blood of the demon beast, it may explode and die.

So when Li Muchan heard that Pingfan wanted to become a body cultivator, she wanted to stop him, but didn't know how to say it.

Seeing Li Muchan's hesitant expression, Pingfan chuckled and said.

"Don't worry, I know how difficult and dangerous it is to become a body cultivator, but I still want to give it a try."

Upon hearing this, Li Muchan knew that no matter what she said, she could not stop his determination to become a body cultivator.

After figuring this out, Li Muchan sighed softly and said slowly.

"Since you've made up your mind, I won't stop you anymore, but remember we'll always be there for you."

Hearing Li Muchan's next words, the ice in Pingfan's heart seemed to melt a little more.

Li Muchan saw Pingfan grinning foolishly at her after hearing her words, and shook her head helplessly.

Even if he were ordinary and did nothing, Li Muchan believed that with her parents' resources, they could ensure his lifelong peace and safety.

However, since Pingfan was determined to become a body refiner, the only way to save him was to save him before he exploded from the pressure of the demonic beast's flesh and blood.

Pingfan noticed the slight change in Li Muchan's eyes and understood what she was thinking, which made him both amused and exasperated.

Before it even started, she had already imagined the scenario of failure, but Pingfan didn't feel resentful; instead, she felt a warm feeling in her heart.

The thought of being cared for at all times seems quite nice.

Suddenly, Pingfan took out something wrapped in paper, handed it to Li Muchan, and said softly.

"Here's something delicious, how about you try it?"

Li Muchan looked at the thing in Pingfan's hand, and took it with a puzzled expression. She unfolded the paper and saw an irregularly shaped red crystal.

After seeing what it looked like, Li Muchan was stunned, then looked at Pingfan in shock and exclaimed.

"Can you make pills?"

As soon as Li Muchan finished speaking, she slowly shook her head, realizing that the item did not have a medicinal fragrance.

Moreover, to refine pills, the alchemist must possess spiritual power in order to use spiritual fire to refine the medicinal herbs.

Obviously, an ordinary mortal could not do this, so it cannot be a pill. But what is it then?

However, seeing the expression on Pingfan's face as if she were being forced to eat it, she reached out her jade hand, picked up the crystal, frowned, and put it into her mouth.

A moment later, Li Muchan was pleasantly surprised to find that as soon as the crystal entered her mouth, a strawberry flavor reached her taste buds, along with a hint of sweetness.

But apart from these, there is nothing else, just like food, which has flavor but no use.

Li Muchan savored it for a while longer, then looked at Pingfan and smiled.

"What is this? It tastes pretty good."

"This is a dessert called candy."

Seeing Li Muchan's delighted expression, Pingfan thought to himself, "It seems that even women in the cultivation world like sweet things."

This was something that Pingfan did after thoroughly studying the books here and learning about some wild plants. With nothing else to do, he thought he'd give it a try.

Moreover, candy making is very simple. All you need is sugar and water to boil it into syrup, and then let it cool down to solidify.

If it's like that, it only tastes sweet and has no other flavors.

Just then, Pingfan spotted some wild strawberries nearby, crushed them, and added them to the sugar water.

However, since it was Pingfan's first time making it, it didn't look particularly good.

Pingfan took out some candies wrapped in paper, handed them to Li Muchan, and smiled.

"There are some more here, you can have them all."
