Who are you calling a stable boy?!

How to say?

That goes without saying!

Zheng Jing simply clicked on a 10-pull.

"Om."

In that instant, he seemed to hear a resounding bell.

Immediately afterwards, a large, juicy peach suddenly appeared on the screen in front of you.

Zheng Jing subconsciously reached out to grab it.

Suddenly, a vast expanse of purple energy erupted from the peach, obscuring Zheng Jing's entire field of vision.

When Zheng Jing realized what was happening, the peaches and purple aura had all vanished, leaving only the prompts on the panel in front of him.

[Your 10-pull yielded the following items: Little Demon Blood (Green) x1, Three Heads and Six Arms (Purple), Dragon Tiger Bone Strengthening Pill (Green) x3, Monkey Wine (Green) x5. These items have been added to your inventory.]

"Holy crap?!"

Zheng Jing exclaimed involuntarily.

His highest expectation for this ten-pull was to get a blue-quality extraordinary item. It didn't matter what it was; he would use it if he needed it, and sell it if he didn't.

I never expected to get the kill on the first try!

Zheng Jing quickly opened his backpack.

This three-headed, six-armed technique is actually the original martial art.

Oh! What a coincidence!

Open the Heavenly Martial Forge!

Zheng Jing tried throwing this book with three heads and six arms into the furnace, and it worked, as expected.

But when he looked at the experience points required for cultivation, he couldn't help but show a troubled expression.

Just getting started requires 20000 experience points.

Zheng Jing had considered whether, given the characteristics of the Heavenly Martial Furnace, he could try feeding it gems or precious metals.

But today, while passing the time with Cao Xueqing, he took her to a gold shop and tried it out, only to find that the gems and gold and silver were completely unusable as firewood.

Zheng Jing later thought about it and felt that it might be related to the so-called spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

He'd probably need to come up with another urban spiritual energy revival scenario to find some rare and precious materials in his own world that he could throw at the Heavenly Martial Furnace as firewood.

He also considered things like electricity.

In terms of results, Zheng Jing felt that he would be better off trying a large power plant.

They really make it sound like they're developing some kind of golden power...

In short, it seems that even if he throws everything he won in the lottery into the furnace to burn, and adds his current experience points, he can only reach the beginner level at best, and will not be able to master it, let alone achieve great success.

However, it is a legendary quality technique after all. Even if it is only at the beginner level, it should be able to greatly improve his current strength.

After much deliberation, Zheng Jing went to look through the biography of the martial monk again.

He discovered that the third level of the monks seemed to be quite special.

At this stage, most monks will become formal disciples of their respective sects.

Therefore, mastering the unique skills of one's sect can be considered a hallmark of a warrior monk at this stage.

If Zheng Jing levels up directly through the courtyard channel using experience points, he can then register as a formal disciple in one of the three major sects offered by the courtyard.

These three major sects are the Sanda Sect, the Wujian Sect, and the Four Absolutes Sect.

The latter half of the master's biography mentions that these three sects are the most widely spread martial monk sects in the courtyard, and it seems that they have reached some kind of agreement with the courtyard itself, so they can recruit students in this way.

Of course, if the player is a monk and has their own lineage, then they don't need to worry about this at all; they can simply learn the sect's techniques and skills step by step.

That Zheng Jing...

From whom did you learn your teacher?

Chapter 57: The Man Possessed by an Evil Spirit

Zheng Jing did consider looking in the exchange to see if there were any martial arts techniques that sects would teach to martial monks when they reached the third level of martial monk.

However, after opening the trading platform, Zheng Jing found that although he could find them, as long as the sect's name could be found in that master's autobiography, that is, a sect that was well-known in the multiverse involved by the entire courtyard, then these cultivation techniques would either be obviously overpriced and unreasonable, or the seller would require the buyer to verify their identity.

Of course, there are also players in the trading house selling cultivation techniques and skills held by lesser-known sects. However, buying and learning these kinds of techniques and skills can easily lead to more troublesome problems.

For example, there are many sects that most players are very likely to have never even heard of.

The courtyard will ensure the authenticity of the goods, so the technique itself is indeed not a problem.

But what if the sect's lineage had already been broken?

In comparison, the three legendary sects seem much more reliable.

Although becoming a formal disciple of one of the three major sects through the courtyard means being subject to the sect's rules and regulations, one can also enjoy many benefits from these three forces, which are considered behemoths in the multiverse.

Moreover, Zheng Jing had thought of something.

He possesses the Heavenly Martial Furnace.

This means that even if he joins one of the three major sects, it won't prevent him from finding opportunities to learn the techniques and skills of other sects.

In any case, the rules of the three major sects don't contain many restrictions on this aspect.

Having figured out the key points, Zheng Jing didn't hesitate and handed over 900 experience points, using the panel's upgrade function for the first time.

[The monk's level has been increased to LV3.]

【请选择——】

[A panel version sequence held by the player has been detected...]

[Player has been confirmed to belong to a sect.]

The player has acquired the following class skills: Ruthless Combo (Green), Unyielding Spirit (Blue), Golden Eyes (Blue), Inner Strength (Blue), Unfettered Body (Blue).

...Do I belong to a sect?

Coming back to his senses from the effects of the upgrade, Zheng Jing, who was sitting cross-legged, blinked a few times and looked blankly at his attribute panel.

Zheng Jing gasped.

He subconsciously looked up at the great statue of the saint in the center of the hall.

Somewhat unsteady, Zheng Jing got up, arranged the prayer mat, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply to the statue of the Great Sage.

"Disciple has remembered!"

"..."

The statue of the Great Sage on the platform remained completely still.

There was no response from inside the main hall.

But Zheng Jing seemed to have heard something, slowly sat up straight, sat cross-legged again, and exhaled with his eyes downcast.

"...This is really a stroke of luck."

Patting his face and muttering something, Zheng Jing opened the Heavenly Martial Furnace and threw the Three Heads and Six Arms from his backpack inside.

Seeing the prompt in the slow simmer mode that it would take 30 natural days in the current plane, Zheng Jing looked at the high-heat cooking mode.

30 calendar days, which is a full month.

He had never tried slow cooking before, and didn't know how he would spend those 30 days.

If he were to sit like a meditator for a month, Zheng Jing wouldn't worry about starving or dying of thirst, but how to explain it to his neighbors who would occasionally come back to offer incense and prayers, as well as to his friends, would be a problem.

...So be it, a raging fire!

Sprint! Charge!

Taking a deep breath, Zheng Jing first grabbed another futon, lay down on the ground, and then confirmed that the fire was blazing hot—

When Zheng Jing opened his somewhat listless eyes, it was already completely dark outside.

He first took two deep breaths in a row, as if to confirm that he could still breathe, before he pushed himself up with his hands and sat up.

Even though he had prepared himself mentally, Zheng Jing still screamed a few times inside the furnace as if he were being boiled alive.

He considered himself a tough guy when it came to endurance.

Although he was unable to lead humanity to defeat the jawline of the ten-dimensional beings, from childhood to adulthood, everyone who knew Zheng Jing had at least given him a thumbs up and said that Old Zheng was both tall and tough.

He didn't utter a single cry of pain while fighting Muzan.

Projection is projection, but the pain will still be intense; the courtyard doesn't offer any pain protection mechanisms for player projections.

But this time it really hurt.

The thought that this was only the beginning made Zheng Jing scratch his cheek.

Let's look at the results of this pain.

After closing his eyes and sitting quietly for a moment, Zheng Jing suddenly opened his arms to the left and right.

The next moment, a burst of golden light erupted from Zheng Jing's shoulders and back, instantly solidifying into a pair of strong, muscular arms.

Zheng Jing then opened his eyes and turned to look at his extra arms.

These limbs, formed through internal energy, possess a tactile sensation identical to that of biological limbs.

As an adult male who had lived for over twenty years and only had two hands, Zheng Jing did not feel uncomfortable about suddenly having an extra pair of arms.

He only felt a sense of wonder.

His four arms moved nimbly and freely under his control, and he could even juggle the eight cans of ○zai milk he took out of his backpack with various tricks.

If I had to describe the feeling that these new arms gave Zheng Jing, I would probably say this:
