"That's how things are."
"You should give up."
The middle-aged man, dressed in a black robe, glanced at the frail young man in front of him, a hint of sympathy flickering in his eyes.
""
Ye Cang seemed momentarily stunned.
He had just transmigrated over and hadn't had time to adjust yet when he received this news.
To be honest he didn't know much about this world either yet. But it seemed like a world of martial arts.

The thing that piqued his interest morere than the elder talking before him was this floating panel infront of him.
His expression became a bit strange as he stared at the panel.
he knew his comprehension was average as he was never a top student but to be told that on his face was....
"Kid, what happened?"
"Did the news hit you too hard?
Swoosh'
Ye Cang looked up at the elder.
He shaked his head as he said,
"I have understood, Elder. Thanks for making such effort."
The Black-robed elder was here actually to tell him that he is given another 1 month to cross the Body-tempering stage.
If he fails he will have to leave the sect.
Yes, the original Ye Cang was actually a disciple of the Profound Sky Sect.
The Profound Sky sect is actually a powerhouse in the Eastern Region of the Skyclaw Continent.
But, Ye Cang , He was just a registered disciple. Not even worthy enough to enter The outer sect.
Leaving these things aside , The black-robed elder finally left after a few words of sympathy.
The original Ye Cang was hard working hence the Elders Vision was on of admiration and affection.
Yet, No matter how hard working the previous Ye Cang couldn't even breakthrough beyond The first stage.
Now, The current Ye Cang opened the panel again.

It seems this System panel shows the Present stats, Ye Cang was deep in thought.
Sincce he has crossed over, he won't be satisfied with an ordianary life, specially with a system.
But he couldn't figure out what the systems job is.
He waved and the system panel was gone. It seemed to appear at his will.
He looked around. He was in the hut that Ye Cang used to sleep in. Yes, a hut outside the sects outer and inner region.
Actually, most disciples who have yet to be promoted and only have the status of a registered disciple live like this.
Only a scant few might be lucky enough to have friends or relatives willing to let them stay inside the sect. Even that was expensive for that person giving living space.
Ye Cang went outside to get some breeze.
"I just arrived but i need find out the systems use."
Ye Cang was a body-tempering cultivator. The lowest of Lowest. Ye Cang was already 15. This is the best age to complete one's body transformation.
Body Transformation consisted of....
Body Tempering
Blood Strengthening
Bone Forging
Viscera Refinement
Marrow Rebirth
These Stages together were called Body Transformation.
When an expert martial artist crosses all these stages they finally can gather True Qi and form their True Spirit.
But Such a realm was way out of Ye Cang's current league.
"I must get stronger"
"I should go to the training hall"
There was a training hall for registered disciples. It was inside the sect so it took around 1 incense for him to arrive there.
"Bang, Bang, Bang"
Many registered disciple's were training here.
"Woah, look at who's here! Haha, Ye Cang , You still dare come here after the lesson Brother Lu taught you last time."
The one who spoke was also a registered disciple. The moment Ye Cang saw him his eyes narrowed because this guy was Kong Lui , a lackey of registered disciple Lu Hong.
The only difference between Ye Cang and Lu Hong was that Lu Hong had crossed Blood Strengthening and entered Bone Forging already!
But Ye Cang was no longer the same Ye Cang. Having lived a lifetime as long as 20 years in his previous world, a kids taunt wouldn't deter him.
Ye Cang just walked past him and went to the Training hall's elder. Each hall in the sect had an elder assigned to it. This elder was the same elder that Ye Cang had met a while ago.
whoosh'
Seeing Ye Cang ,the elder was a bit suprised and asked, "Do you need anything from me?"
Seeing Ye Cang talk to the elder , Kong Lui couldn't help but grith his teeth and leave.
"Elder, You said my path of advancment is basically blocked since i have only 1 month left until the register disciple period ends. But can't you help me find ways to get stronger?"
Ye Cang cupped his hands in a bow as he said each word.
The elder looked at Ye Cang , And sighed, "Look, There are ways, but they are too dangerous for you for now."
"As long as i can get stronger i am willing to do anything"-Ye Cang said with Determiniton.
The elder shook his head, "Since you are so determined, this Mu will help you to my best capabilities this one month. But if you die or don't show much improvement i won't help you anymore."
"Thanks a lot Elder Mu. This disciple will surely remember this favor forever."
"Haha, just helping the younger generation. What's the harm?"
Ye Cang's eyes brightened.
Maybe with the elder's help he will see improvements.
The elder than reached for the pouch in his pockets, "Take these"- The elder handed over some Kinds of pills to Ye Cang.
"These pills are called 'Blood Surge' Pills. They are normally used by martial artists who are in the blood strengthening stage. But i give these to you, because after you eat these pills your blood will surge and hence your energy limit will be greater. Temper your body during this time."
The elders words actually made sense to Ye Cang.
"Disciple will do as instructed."
"Good! But be very carefull, and take only 1 pill at a time."
This disciple understands.
Ye Cang then swiftly took his leave as he wanted to start practicing.
He checked the pills. A total of 11 Blood Surge Pills!
He must not waste even one.
"I must take them one at a time."
Soon, Ye Cang reached under a huge tree spanning 20 meters in length.
He popped on of the pills in his mouth.
Hissss!
In an instant his whole body started burning as if a fire had started inside of him.
But he gritted his teeth and punched the tree , which in turn let loose some of the energy.
"Pah, Pah, Pah"
Ye Cang Continuously Kept tempering his body till the pills effect finally faded.
"Haah, Haaah "
Ye Cang took long breaths. As he layed down to rest he summoned the System panel.

!!!!!!
Seeing his Body Tempering progress finally improving Ye Cang was immensely happy, That to from 33% to 50% . Which meant a 17% Boost.
Ye Cang clenched his fist. His strength had indeed increased.
He stood up to start practicing again.
Like this the pills and with Ye Cang's Hard work things started looking better.
