Cultivating From Obtaining Experience

Almost every man has a dream of venturing in the fantasy world, wielding a sword, and traveling to different places to witness the splendor of the world. After working in a factory for several years, Wang An, who was not yet old, received an unfavorable medical report. At that moment, the system activated. "Mission: Healthy Body—Restore your body to a healthy state (a healthy body is the foundation of everything)." So, he started jogging in the morning, swimming, practicing Tai Chi... Soon, he discovered that he had acquired a cheat that allowed him to gain experience points. The improvement in his skills brought him unexpected surprises. It turned out that those legends were real! Lightness skills could truly allow someone to walk on snow without leaving a trace and leap from roof to roof. The indestructible body could indeed make one's body as hard as a diamond, making one impervious to blades and spears. Innate Qi could give one terrifying strength that was able to crush iron into pieces. From then on, Wang An embarked on the cultivation path of gaining experience points like crazy.

Want To Make Money And Live Off A Wealthy Woman

編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation

After lunch, Wang An rushed to clear the table and wash the dishes.

He then applied a plaster to his grandfather's back and turned on the electric blanket. He let his grandfather lie on the bed after that. He sat by their side and talked with them for a while.

It was only after a while that he returned to his room. After some thought, he took out his phone and opened the Tai Chi group chat.

He messaged a person with the username "No Hands" and sought advice on the issue of his grandfather's lumbar disc degeneration.

"No Hands" was a doctor in real life. He had mentioned it in the group chat before.

After about twenty minutes, the user replied.

"This condition doesn't have a straightforward treatment. If it's severe, surgery may be necessary. Based on the information you provided, my suggestion is conservative treatment: use plasters, hot compresses, and massages to alleviate the pain."

"Alright. Thank you very much," Wang An replied.

Wang An had texted him just to see if there was a solution. He had not expected to get a reply so fast.

'Massages… I can learn to do that myself.'

Wang An then called Li Xinzhu.

"Hello, would you like to treat me to the King crab, after all? I happen to be free for lunch today," a familiar voice said from the other end.

"Did you sort out your senior's matter?" Wang An asked.

"Yeah, I brought the body back. The autopsy results showed a myocardial infarction. It's really strange."

"Was there anything unusual near the heart… like soft tissue damage?" Wang An asked.

"Damn! How did you know?!" Li Xinzhu widened his eyes in surprise. Only a very few people knew about this incident.

"So, that seems to be the case!" Wang An was surprised. "Is it near the heart vessels?"

"What heart vessels?" Li Xinzhu asked in confusion.

"Well, that's why it's important to read more books." Wang An sighed.

"Cut the crap. Do you know something about this?"

"Have you heard about the Pulse-Seizing Fist?"

"I have never heard about something like that."

"Ask your master about it. He'll have something to discuss with you. Do you know anyone skilled in massage therapy?" Wang An changed the subject.

He had only heard about it from rumors, and he could not explain it clearly to Li Xinzhu quickly with just a few words.

"Of course. I told you last time that I know a technician who is very skilled and also very beautiful."

"I'm talking about a serious kind of Chinese massage." Wang An sighed.

"Why do you need that?" Li Xinzhu asked in confusion.

"I want to learn it," Wang An said.

"Seriously? Why?" Li Xinzhu couldn't help but ask.

"Don't ask too many questions. Can you help me find out?" Wang An asked.

"No problem. I'll get back to you with information," Li Xinzhu said.

About an hour later, just as Wang An was about to get up and continue practicing the Five Animal Forms in the courtyard with his grandfather, Li Xinzhu called.

"I found someone for you. A renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor in Hu An. He is skilled in acupuncture, massage, and traditional Chinese medicine. He comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, with three generations of experience. It's said that his grandfather was once hired by a governor. Originally, he didn't want to take on apprentices, but this old doctor and my master are old friends, so he might make an exception for you. But..."

"How much does it cost?" Wang An asked.

"Ah… how did you know?" Li Xinzhu was surprised.

"It's not free, is it?" Wang An said.

"Of course not. Nowadays, everyone is pragmatic. Dr. Zhao has set up a traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and massage training class. The monthly tuition fee is 4,000 yuan. But for you, I can get you a 20% discount."

"Isn't that even more expensive than your dojo? Maybe you should consider switching careers," Wang An said teasingly.

"Have you ever heard of the saying that a poor scholar may be rich in martial arts, or one major illness can wipe out a middle-class person? People may not need to learn martial arts, but they can't avoid getting sick. When you decide to learn, just let me know, and I'll take you there," Li Xinzhu said.

"Thank you," Wang An said.

"You're welcome, but don't forget the promise you made to me," Li Xinzhu said as a reminder.

"I won't forget about the crab. Hey, do you know any quick ways to make money?" Wang An lowered his voice.

"Quick ways? Are you looking for a legitimate way or something shadier?" Li Xinzhu asked after a moment of silence.

"What do you mean?"

"Legitimate jobs usually have a stable income but aren't very lucrative. Some shady ways can make money quickly. You can even earn tens and thousands in a day."

"What kind of job will make you so much money? Something like the dangerous kind that can get you killed?"

"No. I'm talking about underground fights, but there are risks, and you may have to sign a life-and-death contract."

"Underground fights? Any other options?"

"Well, we're friends, and I always think about your interests before mine. I have a friend who knows some wealthy women. They take good care of themselves, and their husbands are often away. They often feel lonely and need comfort. You have good looks and are strong. As long as you satisfy them, earning eighteen thousand yuan in one night is no problem. Who knows, you might even have a long-term source of income."

"Hey, are you even listening to me?"

"Is there a way to make two million quickly?" Wang An asked after a pause.

"Ah, those are all scams!"

"Li Xinzhu, you're a strong and sturdy man, and you're talking about living off of wealthy women? I can't believe it."

"It's not me. It was my friend's idea. Besides, in today's world, isn't living off of wealthy women great? It saves you from struggling for twenty years to make money. Isn't it a good deal?"

"It's shameful. F*cking shameful!"

After hanging up, Wang An went to the adjacent room, took his grandfather along with him, and practiced the Five Animal Forms in the courtyard for a while.

When the old man grew tired after a short practice session, he went back into the house and left Wang An to practice on his own.

[Five Animal Forms experience +10.]

After that, he took out the book titled "Diamond Zen" that had cost him over five thousand yuan. He was familiar with the first part, which contained the classic Buddhist scripture, the "Diamond Sutra."

However, the latter part of the scripture was somewhat peculiar. In addition to Buddhist terms, it also mentioned some meridians and acupoints.

He suddenly realized that he had overlooked something for a while. His understanding of human anatomy, especially meridians and acupoints, was not thorough enough.

Indeed, he had purchased several manuals and had flipped through many of them. He was familiar with their contents, and he could even recite certain passages from them.

However, none of those books focused on explaining the human body's meridians and acupoints in detail.

"I need to fill this gap in my knowledge. Learning massage and acupressure will require a good understanding of the body's meridians and acupoints. It would also aid in my practice of Tai Chi and Five Animal Forms. I'll need to buy a few more books and study this subject."

In the early morning, Wang An began his day by practicing Five Animal Forms in the courtyard on his own.

Afterward, he made breakfast. Once the sun had risen and the day had warmed, he dragged his grandfather and grandmother into the courtyard to practice Five Animal Forms together.
