Chapter 4: The Ancient Golden Body Technique

The next morning, before sunrise, Mohsin reported to the Spirit Jade Mine.

A rough iron pickaxe was placed into his hands.

The mine steward, a middle-aged man with a stern expression, glanced at the new disciples.

"Listen carefully."

"The sect will provide food and basic lodging for your first month."

"After that, you must earn Merit Points by mining Spirit Jade."

"Only then can you exchange them for food, cultivation resources, techniques, and Spirit Stones."

"If you don't work, you don't eat."

Mohsin nodded.

"I understand."

As everyone prepared to enter the mine, the steward shouted another warning.

"Don't go too deep into the cave!"

Hearing those words, Mohsin felt a chill run down his spine.

"So... even mining is life-threatening?"

He swallowed his nervous and looked toward the dark entrance of the mine.

"So truly a real cultivation world..."

"Danger exists everywhere."

"If I'm careless for even a moment, I could lose my life without noticing." and Mohsin 

Take a deep breath, Mohsin tightened his grip on the pickaxe and cautiously stepped into the outer section of the Spirit Jade Mine.

As he walked, he steeled his resolve.

"If I want to cultivate..."

"If I want to achieve my dream..."

"Then I have to accept the risks." For later benefits 

"Without courage, no one can become a true cultivator."

"In this world, only those who willing to take risk for everything have the chance to grow stronger."

The cave was dark, damp, and eerily silent.

Spirit Jade veins glittered faintly within the stone walls.

Mohsin found an empty spot and raised his pickaxe.

"Let's do this."

Clang!

The moment the pickaxe struck the rock, a powerful rebound traveled through the handle.

"Ouch!" Ouch

His entire arm went numb.

"So hard!" Why these rocks are very hard

He gritted his teeth and swung again.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

After dozens of strikes, sweat soaked his clothes.

An hour later, both of his hands had become completely numb.

His muscles trembled uncontrollably.

The pickaxe slipped from his fingers and crashed onto the ground.

Panting heavily, Mohsin leaned against the wall.

"I... can't even mine a single piece..."

Are this stone made of iron why they are so hard to break after so many times not single crack appear only few scratches are showing

At that moment, an amused voice echoed inside his mind.

"Hmph."

Kid Stone wall is not that hard but you are very soft ahh

"Come on, fatty."

The Golden Lion King appeared within the System Space, wearing an expression of complete disappointment.

"Just look at yourself."

"With your current strength, you'll need months to gather ten Spirit Stones."

"Before you reach that goal, you'll probably cripple your own arms."

Oh god why I have such a this kind of bad luck why got trapped by this useless guy I think can't rivive now I have live with him my remaining I thinking what he die did I vanished him with to thinking that lion king become more nervous

Mohsin scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

"I can't help it."

"Back on Earth my life was simple."

"I ate..."

"I slept..."

"I read comics and cultivation novels..."

"And I spent far too much time playing games on my phone."

The Golden Lion King snorted.

"So your body only looks strong on the outside."

But

"Inside, you're weak."

"An empty shell."

"What terrible luck."

"Out of all the people in existence..."

"I ended up trapped with someone this useless."

Mohsin rolled his eyes before grinning.

"If you think I'm so hopeless..."

"Then teach me something."

"You were a legendary Beast King, weren't you?"

"Surely you know a technique that can help."

The Golden Lion King stared at him for a long moment before smiling.

"Interesting."

"At least you haven't lost your fighting spirit."

"Very well."

"Considering your current physique, ordinary cultivation techniques are worthless."

"What you need first..."

"...is to strengthen your body."

The lion slowly raised one massive claw.

A brilliant golden light filled the System Space.

Ancient golden runes appeared in the air, radiating an overwhelming aura.

"The technique I am about to teach you its was very powerful technique I got this technique from god of light sun god in my last life I was ones able to enter in sun god temple where when someone enter there chance to get ancient Divine sun god inheritance but I don't managed to get sun god inheritance but I in sun god inheritance trail some how managed to impress sun god I was able to get this technique
