Li Hai's Soul was immersed in boundless nothingness, drifting and floating up and down.
He couldn't remember at all how long he had been drifting in this endless, lightless domain.
He could only vaguely recall the last scene he saw before falling in here... it was a large truck crashing head-on into him.
"So..."
Li Hai murmured distractedly, "My life was ended by a car accident?"
Thinking of this, he, who had always been fiery-tempered, despite his muddled consciousness at the moment, still couldn't help but curse angrily:
"Which son of a bitch, yellow dog who drank too much piss was driving so blindly? Don't let me turn into a ghost, or I'll definitely make you regret it..."
Just as Li Hai was getting more and more indignant and grumbling, a voice filled with impatience suddenly came from the end of the void:
"Zou Langzhong, do you think this unlucky fellow can live?"
The voice sounded both extremely far and extremely near.
"Who's talking?! Unlucky fellow... who are they talking about?"
Li Hai's muddled consciousness was slightly awakened. "This sounds like Chinese, the accent... has a bit of the Guangyue flavor."
Before he could think further, another voice, aged and weary, came from afar:
"Liu Butler, don't worry, this little beggar was likely startled by something dirty in the mountains and fainted from fright. As long as he drinks this dose of calming and heart-nourishing soup from this old man and sleeps for a night, he will definitely wake up."
"Another voice, beggar... are they talking about me?"
Drifting in the boundless void, Li Hai felt an inexplicable feeling... that this voice seemed to be referring to himself.
So he said blankly, "What's going on? Didn't I die? How did I turn into a beggar again?"
Vaguely, Li Hai had a guess.
Could it be... he transmigrated?
Soul Transmigration?
A voice came again from the end of the void:
"It's good that he can wake up, Lord still wants to see him."
As these words ended, no more sounds came.
At the same time, Li Hai's consciousness began to quickly blur, and in an instant, he fell into a death-like slumber.
After a long while, a warmth suddenly appeared and enveloped Li Hai's consciousness.
Subsequently, after a vibration that grew from weak to strong, his blurry consciousness suddenly became clear.
The hazy void that enveloped and covered everything in his field of vision also vanished completely like a fleeting dream.
Then, a dim oil lamp, a bed, a door, a table, and a stool came into Li Hai's slowly opening, weak eyes.
The bed was beneath him; the table and stool were beside the bed; the oil lamp was on the table; the door was three steps away from the foot of the bed.
And surrounding these were four dirty, old, mottled, dim yellow earth walls.
"I..."
Lying on the bed, Li Hai laboriously raised his two skinny hands, like chicken claws, and stared blankly, "How did I... become this thin dog appearance? Could it be... I really transmigrated? And it was the kind where I possessed another body?"
At this moment, he finally confirmed the fact that he had likely transmigrated.
The reason he was so certain was that Li Hai had never been so thin or so weak since he was a child.
Since he could remember, he could be called a born strong man with a sacred body.
Even if he only ate white rice and drank cold boiled water, both fat and muscle would grow rapidly.
So, all along, the big, burly, fat Li Hai was the one who bullied others, and no one could ever bully him.
Even after becoming an adult, the business Li Hai engaged in was closely related to 'meat'.
That is... selling pork.
That's right, before he transmigrated, he was a genuine pork vendor in a wet market.
Just then, a mysterious hot current suddenly exploded deep within Li Hai's Soul.
Boom—
Accompanied by a violent tremor that spread throughout Li Hai's entire body, a very crude, illusory interface suddenly appeared before his eyes.
At the very top of the interface, eight bold characters were displayed:
【Study Hard, Improve Every Day】
Below these eight black characters were lines of extremely brief text information—
Master Name: Li Hai
Level Rank: None
Skills Owned: None
Trait: None
Expert Fragment: None
"Got it!"
Li Hai, lying sickly on the bed, grinned, "This must be the legendary 【System】."
As an ordinary pork vendor, Li Hai's education wasn't high.
But no matter what, he was a man who had read several hundred web novels, so he knew about Systems, which were standard for transmigrators.
It's just... what exactly is the specific function of this Unknown System called 【Study Hard, Improve Every Day】?
Deep Blue point allocation? Transmigration through the heavens? Or a large roulette draw?
"I probably know what level and skills mean, but what are these traits and fragments?"
Just as Li Hai was pondering this question, a short, stout old man with white hair and beard suddenly pushed open the door and entered the earth-walled room, walking to the head of the bed.
As soon as the old man approached, his old eyes met Li Hai's eyes, which were full of curiosity.
"Oh? You're awake."
The old man grinned, "Not bad, not bad. You only lay for half the night and your Soul returned to your body, full of energy. It seems my medicinal soup is still effective, hmm... I need to inform Liu Butler."
Saying this, he slowly walked towards the door.
Li Hai didn't pay attention to the old man's departure at all.
Because as soon as the fat old man appeared in his field of vision, an illusory information interface immediately appeared in his consciousness—
Character Name: Unknown
Level Rank: None
Skills Owned: Five Animal Qi Gong
Trait: None
Expert Fragment: None
What was quite strange was that when Li Hai's eyes focused on that Qi Gong skill in the old man's personal interface, a large piece of information immediately expanded:
"Five Animal Qi Gong has a total of three layers. This character has cultivated all three layers. Do you want to learn this cultivation method—Yes/No?"
Out of curiosity, he Confused chose to learn.
Buzz—
Suddenly, a large stream of text information surged into Li Hai's mind and consciousness out of nowhere.
And incredibly, he instantly understood the true meaning of these unfamiliar messages.
That is to say, Li Hai learned the cultivation method the old man practiced just by glancing at him, without any hindrance.
And it wasn't a rough, superficial learning, but like contemplating and reviewing it hundreds or thousands of times, completely ingrained in his bones.
As for the content of this cultivation method, it can be summarized as taking the tiger, deer, bear, ape, and crane as teachers, and learning to imitate their movements.
Through years of diligent practice and continuous nourishment of essence and Qi, one can ultimately achieve the effects of abundant breath, keen hearing and sight, healthy internal organs, and longevity.
Overall, this Five Animal Qi Gong is a health-preserving cultivation method.
Coincidentally, it was also the cultivation method that Li Hai, who was severely weak at the moment, needed the most.
And after completely learning this Qi Gong, Li Hai's personal interface, which was originally empty, suddenly underwent a small change.
