My name is Adam a normal American teenager.
I am now on an undiscovered island close to the telman Empire. How did I get here you ask
Well I don’t know I just woke up in a cave thinking where the fuck I am and how did I get here. Walked out of the cave which was on a hill with thick forest on the left and frozen snow covered tundra to the right.
And in the distance saw a boar and a snake the size of a semi truck fighting each other. That moment I knew I got transmigrated just like in those novels. Now I just have to know which kind of world I dropped into
That was answered by a book inside the cave titled “Cultivation the path to immortality”
The book also gave me a brief explanation on where I am.
The continent of Golgareth which is occupied by the Ebonreich Empire. This world has the spiritual energy the so called Qi but the Qi here is sparse so sparse in fact there are conflicts happening everywhere over resources
And not just that there is a realm below the starting realm of cultivation called the “body mind attunement” where your body must have Elite athletic level power so that you are so energy efficient with all the senses like sight, hearing,taste,smell so that your body can sense the Qi in the atmosphere it’s like saying you have to be strong first in order to get stronger faster. That in itself will take a year to achieve
I have no chance of survival in this forest with just that. luckily the beast doesn’t seem to want to come to this place or be anywhere near by. I am safe from now. There was another old book called
“ The encyclopedia of plants “ according to it eating specific spiritual fruit can let me skip past that stage to the body mind att realm
I just have to find it in this forest
In the body tempering you have to temper your bones->organs->(muscles and skin) in order for best efficiency according to the book. Since a big boar and a snake exist there is no doubt that Qi is denser here than the main continent.
“That’s it my first priority is to achieve body tempering so as to have even a chance of surviving”
Silverroot berry which nourishes and strengthens the inner structure of bone and Titanstone peach hardens the outer layer of bone which acts as a substitute for the pill, the only difference between pill and fruit is its effectiveness. I need more fruit to have the same effect as a pill.
With that I started exploring the forest below luckily there were no beasts trying to attack me
That might be because of the fight between the boar and snake
I found all the fruits mentioned in the book and went back to the cave
The book said that eating the fruits by specific combination can be substituted for the bone tempering pill
So I eat it accordingly and wait to see what kind of effects it shows
Some kind of warm energy starts scratching my bones
“Damn this is extremely uncomfortable and painful”
I power through this and after a while it subsides
“Finally it’s over. This warm energy must be the so-called Qi “

I get up not feeling that much fatigue
“Maybe I should try again”
I try again afterwards I get up again but this time I immediately faint it was already night
So I woke up the next morning and I already feel somewhat stronger than before
“I feel 50% stronger than before I might be able to go further outside”
There were still some fruits left so I thought I should go outside in my best since the fight between the 2 beasts might have come to a conclusion and the other beasts might have come back
I tried the fruits again but this time I did not faint but felt very tired
During this time I had a sudden thought ‘since I transmigrated do I have some kind of golden finger like system’
“Status!”
“System!”
I called every word that I could think of but nothing happened
“Looks like only human language has been given “
After a long rest I get up again
“A +10% more increase”
“How do I know if the limit has been reached I don’t want to do this for a long time and then find that too much of this is detrimental to cultivation”
I went outside and found a strong stick which I used for self defence There were no big beasts coming to eat me but there was a fox trying to pounce at me I noticed him a while ago looking at me with sharp eyes behind the bushes
“I have to do something about this”
I let my guard down a bit by ignoring it
It was a little too eager to pounce at me
‘guess it was too hungry ‘
Anyways I bashed its head with the stick mid air. My reaction was too fast. Every thing appeared slow for me like a 0.3s delay
While it was stunted I grabbed it by the snout and it was growling at me I snapped a vine from a tree and tied the fox to the stick and brought it along with me
After foraging more fruits which I tied in my shirt / pouch I go back to the cave
“Now what will I do with you?”
Looking at the tied up fox whimpering while being at this hill
“Well whatever I’ll deal with you later, stay there for now”
I ate the fruits again this time the effects were less than before so I ate twice as much and faint again woke up faster than before it was evening when I ate the fruits but now it’s night time
“Maybe after a few more times this will not have any effect anymore this might be how I know my bones tempering is completed”
I look at the fox besides me tired from all the whimpering I decide to tame it. So removing the vines around its jaws it growls at me
“Relax I am not going to hurt you”
I threw some of the fruits I foraged. The fox looks at me for a few moments and starts eating them. Since it’s night already I eat the fruits again faint and wake up in the morning
I get this feeling that after 1 more time the bone tempering will be finished but I look around seeing that all fruits are gone from eating before.
“Looks like I have to forage for twice as more. But first I have finished my morning business “
After taking a fat dump near the hill and covering it up with dirt after using leafs as toilet paper.
Adam go back to the forest foraging
After a few hours gathering everything I go back to the cave on my way there in the middle of the path I see the big ass boar looking at me I froze standing the boar sensing me stare me down and charge fast.
“It’s fast!!”
Adam dodge to the side fast missing by a foot and run for the caves the boar is still chasing after me slowly getting closer and closer. Keep in mind I’m running 40 mph faster than Usain Bolt’s top speed.
Slowly getting near the cave
‘Please don’t follow me to the cave !,please don’t follow me to the cave!’
When I reached the hill the boar seemed to have stopped there huffing. I look at the boar from a distance. Staring at each other the boar uninterested goes back into the forest
‘’Huff Huff’’
“Damn that could have gone bad “
“The beasts don’t want to come here for some reason the bigger ones don’t want to either, there must be something deeper inside the cave”
Resting in the cave eat the fruits giving some to the fox. It looks at me for a moment again and eats the fruits it doesn’t growl at me anymore
It looks at me as It awakens some kind of intelligence akin to a dog.
I try to pet it
“Grrrrr”
“Not there yet huh”.
Looking at a dark passage inside the cave
“There must be something deeper inside the caves I have to check out”
“But now is not the time”
“My bone tempering is completed it has only been a few days. Eating more of those fruits doesn’t have an effect anymore.”
“It’s time to refine my organs”
“It’s fortunate that I left the specific fruit for this for future use”
“Let’s see here”
“I have the purging sunfruit”
“Hmmm…”
“I have to cook the medicine “
“…..”
“The fuck am I supposed to cook with.
Where the fuck am I supposed to find a pot in this wilderness “
“….”
“….”
“Maybe I can make a mortar with a boulder and cook with it. “
“Yeah I should go with it”
The next day. With a makeshift mortar and fireplace alchemy begins.
