Chapter 5 : Newbie Gift Pack – Lesser Marrow Cleansing Pill and Muscle-Transforming & Bone-Tempering Chapter!

Newbie Gift Pack – Lesser Marrow Cleansing Pill and Muscle-Transforming & Bone-Tempering Chapter!

Chu Tianxing really wanted to ask where the hell his parents had gone. But it would look weird for a son to not know where his own parents went and have to ask someone else. So he swallowed his questions, and when Qin Ling called him over, he went to give her a hand with dinner.

Although he lived alone for many years, Chu Tianxing only had the ability to eat, while his cooking was still average. His speciality was steaming rice in a rice cooker, then dumping some ready-made seasonings to make various mixed rice dishes...

So all he could really do was wash rice and pick vegetables.

With Qin Ling as the main chef and Chu Tianxing as support, they already had four dishes and a soup ready on the table.

The two sat across from each other at the dining table. Chu Tianxing took the rice bowl Qin Ling handed him, and just as he was about to start eating, that lotus-shaped mysterious crystal suddenly popped up in his mind again.

At the same time, a light screen appeared in front of his retina with text floating on it.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes has passed the Huankong Net review and entered new bookshelf status. Growth Pack obtained: Newbie Starter Pack. Open package?"

Chu Tianxing's heart stirred. This cheat system is pretty user-friendly, huh?

Earlier, I was thinking it'd be great to have a more intuitive information panel. Didn't expect my wish to actually come true with this feature showing up.

He casually stared at Qin Ling who was wolfing down her food. Seeing Chu Tianxing staring at her intently, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and shot back. "What?"

Chu Tianxing smiled. "Nothing. You just have a really good appetite. Watching you eat helps me work up an appetite too."

"Watching me eat... helps you work up an appetite?"

Qin Ling thought about it for a moment, then looked at Chu Tianxing suspiciously. "That sounds like a backhanded compliment."

Chu Tianxing kept a straight face. "You're overthinking it."

As he spoke, he saw no unusual reaction from her and concluded she could not see the screen of light before his eyes. He relaxed and said silently in his heart, "Open the pack."

The text on the screen immediately changed: "Package opened. Obtained Lesser Marrow Cleansing Pill x1, obtained External Refinement Section of the Muscle-Transforming & Bone-Tempering Chapter."

At the same time, a 4x4 inventory grid appeared on the light screen with the first two slots containing a golden pill and a blue-covered ancient book respectively.

Which browser game did they copy this inventory grid from?

Chu Tianxing mentally complained while honestly and excitedly "looking" at that golden pill.

"Lesser Marrow Cleansing Pill: Can slightly improve constitution and enhance one’s root bone quality."

Improve constitution and enhance root bones? This was exactly what Chu Tianxing needed!

His body in this world had an innately poor constitution, preventing him from engaging in any overly strenuous exercise. He didn't even dare sprint a hundred meters at full speed, or he might pass out from lack of oxygen. This naturally meant he could never achieve anything in martial arts.

It wasn't impossible to change this inherently deficient constitution, but the conditions were too demanding. With the Chu family's wealth and connections, there was basically no hope.

When he'd researched martial arts information earlier, he'd found online that there was a pill called the Creation Pill that could transform someone born weak and unable to practice martial arts into a martial arts genius with excellent root bones.

However, this Creation Pill could only be refined by one of the Great Ming's nine great Astral Qi Realm experts. Thunder God, Yu Jiang.

Furthermore, refining a batch of these pills not only consumed many extremely precious and rare materials, but the process itself was also incredibly difficult.

That's why you basically never saw a Creation Pill for sale. Occasionally, one or two would appear, but only at high-end martial artist auctions.

Even a "low-grade" Creation Pill could easily fetch ten million Ming Yuan at auction.

Never mind this world's Chu family, even his original world's billionaire family couldn't enter such auctions without high-end martial artist connections, let alone bid on a Creation Pill.

Since realistic methods wouldn't work, he'd have to rely on his golden finger.

And the golden finger that came with Chu Tianxing's transmigration truly didn't disappoint him. The newbie gift pack gave him hope of changing his constitution and root bones.

A mere Lesser Marrow Cleansing Pill naturally couldn't transform him into a martial arts genius with excellent root bones like the Creation Pill could, but it was enough to change his poor constitution that prevented him from intense exercise.

The External Refinement Section of the Muscle-Transforming & Bone-Tempering Chapter made Chu Tianxing even more delighted.

He looked at the description of that blue book in the inventory.

"Muscle-Transforming & Bone-Tempering Chapter of the Nine Yin Manual, divided into internal and external sections.”

"The Internal Arts Section is a static meditation practice that can purify one’s internal energy and improve cultivation level.”

"The External Refinement Section is a dynamic practice working from outside to inside. Cultivating it can enhance one's constitution, unlock potential, and improve one's root bone. Furthermore, it allows one to progress from the external to the internal, generating internal energy..."

Chu Tianxing hadn't expected the newbie gift pack to contain a part of the Muscle-Transforming & Bone-Tempering Chapter from the legendary Nine Yin Manual.

This External Refinement Section was like timely rain for him, perfectly complementing the Lesser Marrow Cleansing Pill to improve his aptitude and root bones.

But why did the Muscle-Transforming & Bone-Tempering Chapter appear? Was it because his debut work was Legend of the Condor Heroes?

If he'd written a different novel first, would he have gotten different martial arts?

If I had known, I would have written a xianxia novel. Maybe I would have gotten a Qi Refining Realm cultivation method…

But then again, that mysterious crystal in his mind had initially conveyed that he needed to write novels to gather fans’ "willpower," transforming intangible willpower into substantial energy to enhance the host's strength.

Since the novel had just passed review and was only in new bookshelf status, there naturally couldn't be any fans providing willpower yet.

So this newbie gift pack must be consuming the mysterious crystal's initial energy reserve.

"Hmm, the mysterious crystal's initial energy must be quite limited, otherwise the newbie gift pack wouldn't have given just one Lesser Marrow Cleansing Pill. It should have at least given me a Creation Pill, right?

"So, starting with Legend of the Condor Heroes was probably the perfect choice. If I had written a xianxia novel, the crystal's initial energy might not have been enough to manifest a Qi Refining Realm cultivation method that could actually be practiced in reality..."

Chu Tianxing thought with some self-consolation.

Just then, Qin Ling suddenly tapped the table with her chopsticks. "Hey, you've been spacing out for ages without touching your food. I know my cooking isn't as good as Auntie Shen's, but it's not bad enough to trouble you this much, is it?"

"Oh, I was just lost in thought..."

Chu Tianxing smiled and set aside his contemplations to continue eating.

Seeing him eat with gusto, Qin Ling nodded with satisfaction.

Once dinner concluded and Qin Ling finished cleaning up the dishes, Chu Tianxing gave a friendly reminder. "Well, dinner's over and it's completely dark outside. You're a girl, and it's not safe to go home too late. Shouldn't you... go home now?

"..."

Qin Ling looked at Chu Tianxing expressionlessly. "Has anyone ever told you that you'll probably end up alone for life?"

Chu Tianxing touched his face. "How's that possible? I'm so handsome that everyone loves me..."

"Get lost!"

Qin Ling rolled her eyes at him. "I'm going home to practice. By the way, there is a dangerous fugitive who's recently fled to our city, and the Embroidered Uniform Guards are conducting a citywide manhunt. Be careful staying home alone."

After saying her piece, she turned and left briskly.

She wasn't actually angry, though. It was clear she was already used to Chu Tianxing's antics.

Although they are from different worlds, a person’s core personality would not change just because the world did. The Chu Tianxing of both worlds had remarkably consistent fundamental characters.

After seeing Qin Ling off, Chu Tianxing locked the door securely before returning to his bedroom to eat the Lesser Marrow Cleansing Pill.
