Socially anxious me transmigrated to a world of cultivation.

A young boy sat by the shimmering lake, fiddling with pebbles on the ground.

The boy seemed to be muttering something to himself.

"How could it shed its skin? And like a snake, it's shedding its entire body skin!"

"Luckily, there's no one here, otherwise, wouldn't everyone see me completely naked?"

Why do I have no memory of what happened after I entered the cave?

The boy, who had almost piled up enough pebbles on the ground to make a three-bedroom apartment, was the one who came to the lakeside feeling depressed after learning that it was his shed skin.

Pingfan, after all, has over thirty years of life experience and knows that humans also shed their skin.

However, in normal circumstances, it is only localized peeling, not the whole body peeling like it is now.

This has happened without him even realizing it.

I thought the scars on my face would disappear after the skin peeled off.

However, when he arrived at the lakeside to check, he found that the three scratches on his face had not disappeared and were still very noticeable.

This left Pingfan feeling awkward and frustrated, as well as somewhat puzzled.

Pingfan didn't understand what this complete shedding of skin had brought him.

Suddenly, just as Pingfan was still wondering, a wolf demon appeared out of nowhere and pounced on him.

The next moment, Pingfan, who was about to throw the pebble in his hand into the lake, was elbowed and sent flying.

When Pingfan realized that he had touched something, he turned around and saw a wolf demon crashing to the ground and howling.

Upon seeing this, Pingfan immediately stood up, ran to the wolf demon, and kicked it.

Immediately, the wolf demon's howling stopped, and its body stiffened.

At this moment, Pingfan unexpectedly discovered that his physical strength seemed to have become extraordinary.

He used to be able to easily knock away a first-tier wolf demon with a single blow, but now he can.

Thinking about this, Pingfan guessed that he might have broken through to the first level of Body Tempering.

However, if I have to go through this process every time I break through, I'll start to feel frustrated again.

However, before Pingfan could even get into a depressed state, dozens of wolf howls came from all around.

It was only then that Pingfan remembered that wolves are social animals.

Although this is a world of cultivation, the habits of wolves shouldn't be too different, since it's happening right before his eyes.

Hearing the howls of more than a dozen wolves, Pingfan forgot about his frustration and hurriedly turned to leave.

Pingfan didn't want to become food for the wolf demons. Although these were only first-tier demon beasts, their sheer number made up for it.

A moment later, the wolf howls ceased to be heard behind Pingfan, and then the commotion stopped.

Pingfan felt as if he had inexhaustible strength in his body. He had been leading the wolf demon around several times without even panting.

It seems that as long as he still wants to run, he can keep the wolf demon at bay and circle around dozens of times without any problem.

Pingfan marveled at the changes in his body, thinking that the old man's reason for having him fight the demonic beasts for a month before starting to temper his physique might also have had this consideration.

After all, at the beginning, Pingfan could clearly feel that after his body reached the tenth level of body tempering, a small portion of the power of the demonic beast's flesh and blood that he had absorbed still remained in his body.

Suddenly, Pingfan remembered that when he lost consciousness before his breakthrough, only a little over half a month had passed.

So how many days passed between his breakthrough and when he woke up?

Thinking about it, Pingfan slowly shook his head and said.

"Forget it, I'll go see the old man first. If he still wants me to fight the demonic beast, then I'll come back to find a target."

After saying that, Pingfan walked towards where the old man was.

When Pingfan arrived at the dead fruit tree, he shouted loudly.

"Senior, I've broken through!"

As soon as Pingfan finished speaking, the old man's figure slowly appeared, and then he looked at Pingfan.

After discovering Pingfan's breakthrough, he nodded in satisfaction and smiled.

"Good job, you did very well."

Upon hearing this, Pingfan felt a little smug, raised his head, and said.

"That's right, don't you even know who I am?"

Seeing Pingfan's attitude, the old man immediately put on a stern face and said coldly.

"Then do you know why we made you fight against demonic beasts for a month?"

Hearing the old man ask this question, Pingfan became even more smug and said...

"They want me to fully digest all the remaining energy in my body."

The old man was quite surprised to hear Pingfan explain his intentions.

Unexpectedly, this boy, who seemed somewhat naive and timid at first glance, turned out to be so intelligent.

This also gave the old man a new understanding of the ordinary.

At first, the old man was just curious and found the boy interesting, so he left his divine thoughts on him.

As I learned more about Fan Ping and his tragic life, I gradually felt a pang of sympathy for his scrutiny of Fan Ping.

Just as I was about to withdraw my divine sense, something unexpected happened.

Then, just as Pingfan was about to fall into the demonic path, the old man spoke up, bringing him back to his senses. He then told him that there was a way for him to take revenge.

Looking back now, the old man finds it incredible. He has been sleeping here for thousands of years, and this is the first time during his slumber that he has felt curious about a young boy.

Just as the old man was reminiscing about the past, Pingfan noticed that he remained silent and thought he had guessed wrong, so he called out softly.

"senior?"

Upon hearing Pingfan's shout, the old man coughed lightly, nodded slightly to Pingfan, and said.

"What you just said is right. If you don't digest the residual energy in your body, even if you reach the peak of a body cultivator, there will still be hidden dangers."

Upon hearing this, Pingfan shrank his neck and muttered softly.

"So I guessed right. If that's the case, why did you look so stunned?"

The old man's hearing was so sharp that he naturally heard Pingfan's soft mutterings.

However, the old man did not pay attention to it, but took out the Chaos Cauldron and slowly said.

"Now that you've broken through, and all the remaining energy in your body has been digested, you can continue absorbing the power of the demon beast's flesh and blood."

After saying that, the old man didn't give Pingfan a chance to speak, and directly told him to take off his clothes and prepare to enter the cauldron.

Hearing the old man's words, Pingfan did not refute them. He came here because he wanted to gain power so that he could avenge Li Tiansheng and his wife.

So Pingfan started taking off his clothes without saying a word.

While Pingfan was taking off his clothes, the old man had already thrown some of the flesh and blood of the demon beasts into the cauldron, where they began to dissolve.

When Pingfan had taken off all his clothes, leaving only his underwear, the flesh and blood inside the cauldron had already turned into blood. Then the old man instructed him to enter the cauldron.

Without the slightest hesitation, Pingfan climbed into the cauldron and began absorbing the power of flesh and blood within.

As soon as Pingfan entered the cauldron and came into contact with the blood, streams of pure energy began to enter his body.

"Ah~"

However, the pain from absorbing the power of the demon beast's flesh and blood this time was even more unbearable than before. As soon as he entered, Pingfan couldn't help but cry out.
