OBS Chapter 15 Iron King Body Refining Sect!
Chapter 15 Iron King Body Refining Sect!
While idly chatting with my work partner Chen Linyu, it was already four or five in the afternoon.
Jiang Heng was reminded of his own cat, Little Coal Ball, after accidentally coming across a video of a kitten.
I wonder if that "little monster" destroyed anything when it was home...
Just as Jiang Heng had this thought, a notification appeared on the panel.
[Beast Status: Dormant, Essence Stable, Demonic Aura Contained]
[4 days until 'Low-Grade Yin Profound Fiend Qi' is produced]
"As long as you're safe..."
Jiang Heng felt a warmth in his heart; he hadn't expected the panel to be able to "report in real time."
However, Jiang Heng then became concerned about the source of the spirit stones.
Now, he has two: a company and a kitten.
The only difference is that one is given every five days, and the other is given once a month.
This 'production speed' is a bit slow.
Where else can I get spirit stones...?
Or... is there a place specifically for me to "cultivate"?
Jiang Heng was pondering something, casually browsing through the news.
As Jiang Heng flipped through the pages, he suddenly remembered what had happened that morning.
This morning, while moving steel pipes at the hardware market, the panel mentioned "body-refining cultivator" several times...
Those guys were described by the system as "body-refining cultivators"...
But what if it's... a place specifically for muscle training?
As Jiang Heng thought about this, a thought suddenly came to mind.
That's the gym!
The thought had barely formed in my mind when I couldn't stop it.
"I'll go check it out after get off work..."
Jiang Heng held onto hope, kept an eye on the time, and forced himself to stay until the end of the workday.
But with about ten minutes left before the end of the workday, Chen Linyu stretched and invited Jiang Heng, "Brother Jiang, let's have a drink tonight to celebrate your promotion."
"Something came up, so I can't go."
This time, it was Jiang Heng who rejected him.
……
It was 6:30 p.m. on a street three miles from the rented house.
Jiang Heng stood in front of a building and looked down to the fifth floor.
A huge neon sign was flashing, with several words printed on it.
Iron King Fitness Club
This name sounds powerful.
You stand outside the gates of the Iron King Body Refining Sect.
This sect is renowned for forging an unparalleled physical body and tempering muscles, bones, and blood. Its grounds are filled with rare and precious treasures for body refinement, drawing upon the earth's fiery energy and gathering the sharpness of Geng metal, making it a sacred place for body cultivation.
'As expected, there was a hint...'
Jiang Heng was delighted. He looked up through the glass curtain wall and peered inside. He could see figures moving about and a lot of equipment.
The mountain gate was magnificent, with faint sounds of dragons roaring and tigers howling emanating from it, making one's blood boil.
Jiang Heng's blood and qi are indeed churning right now.
Because it's a cheat-certified "Body Refining Master"!
Take a deep breath.
Jiang Heng entered the building and, following the instructions on the floor sign, pressed the button for the fifth floor.
As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, my eyes fell on the glass door in front of me with the words "Iron King" printed on it.
"Welcome to Iron King!"
A young coach, who was just about to go downstairs to solicit customers, greeted him with a bright smile.
"Hey bro, wanna check out Ironman Fitness?"
He was wearing a tight black vest that showed off his well-developed biceps.
"Hmm." Jiang Heng had originally intended to 'join a sect', so he naturally wanted to know more. "I mainly want to work out, could you please give me some information?"
"Brother!" He smiled even more broadly when he saw Jiang Heng nod. "You're too kind. Just call me Ah Hu!"
As Ah Hu spoke, he quickly scanned Jiang Heng's figure with his eyes while speaking in a familiar tone:
Whether you want to build muscle, lose fat, or sculpt your body...
As he spoke, he warmly invited Jiang Heng into the gym.
"Just tell me your requirements, and I will make all the necessary arrangements for you!"
Moreover, we not only offer annual passes, but also monthly passes, daily passes…”
You have entered the core training ground of the Iron King Body Refining Sect.
【【The Transmission of Skills Steward, Ah Hu】, possessed a profound aura, showing signs of achieving the minor perfection of the 'Copper Skin' cultivation. His main cultivation method was the 'Gold-Destroying Cave Technique'. He was eloquent and skilled at using the allure of body refinement to stir up the greed and anger in the hearts of cultivators, making them willingly offer up 'incense and gold'.
[Mission: Establish the 'Gengjin Daoist Pact - Year' with 'Tiger Butler']
[Reward: Metal-attribute spiritual root +0.1, basic metal cultivation technique *1]
[Warning: Once the 'Gengjin Dao Contract - Year' is established, it must be maintained consistently. If it is abandoned midway, Deacon Tiger will definitely send repeated messages in an attempt to corrupt your Dao heart.]
"A metal-attribute spiritual root? And a cultivation technique? All you need is a 'yearly gym membership' to get it?"
Jiang Heng's heart skipped a beat; he hadn't expected to gain another spiritual root today.
The coolness brought by the water elemental root and the "unexperienced underwater breathing ability", as well as the night vision ability brought by the yin elemental root, all allowed Jiang Heng to taste the sweetness of "mini superpowers".
Especially this metal spiritual root, it sounds even more robust and powerful!
This "Iron King" gym lives up to its name; I definitely made the right choice!
Jiang Heng was very happy, and he still had a little over 10,000 yuan in savings, which should be enough.
Seeing Jiang Heng deep in thought, Ah Hu assumed his opening remarks had worked and became even more enthusiastic:
"Brother, this way please! There's no rush."
He has now completely changed his tune, adopting a tone that seems to be for Jiang Heng's benefit: "Let me show you our professional equipment first, and then you can make a decision."
As he spoke, he pointed to a row of equipment resembling a horizontal bar near the entrance.
"This is our latest 'cable frame'. As long as you follow the movements we teach, you can properly train almost all the muscle groups in your body."
Jiang Heng heard what he said and looked over as well.
This item is the "Eight Desolations Bone Forging Pole," which can simulate the gravity of the heavens and temper muscles, bones, and skin in all directions. It is an unparalleled tool for building a strong foundation.
"And this..."
Ah Hu then pointed to the neatly arranged barbell plates and barbell bar on the ground.
"This is our strength zone. We do deadlifts, squats, and bench presses here."
[These are the 'Mysterious Iron Earth-Shaking Hammer' and the 'Geng Metal Mountain-Breaking Stone,' which can draw upon the earth's evil energy and, combined with the cultivator's own blood and qi, form the foundation for forging the 'ultimate realm of power.']
Jiang Heng glanced at it a few times, then followed Ah Hu's lead and looked at the exercise bikes in front of him.
"Huff huff..."
The riders on the bikes are pedaling furiously, sweating profusely.
[The 'Wind and Fire Reincarnation Platform' requires cultivators to use their qi and blood to drive against the raging winds and flames, tempering their lower limb meridians at high speed to forge the foundation for 'Chasing the Wind and Lightning'.]
Looking at the abstract explanation on the panel, Jiang Heng knew that these "magical treasures" did indeed have the effect of body tempering.
Finally, let's take a look around.
Jiang Heng was not only dazzled by the sights, but Ah Hu next to him also kept explaining the function of the equipment in a seductive manner, trying to get Jiang Heng to buy a membership card.
Both of them were very tired.
"How are you, bro?"
Ah Hu was now hoarse from talking, so he led Jiang Heng to the sofa in the rest area and handed him a bottle of mineral water labeled "Iron King Special Supply".
"This environment? This atmosphere? The air is thick with the saturation of male hormones? Doesn't it get you fired up?"
He looked at Jiang Heng with a broad smile.
Jiang Heng, however, was looking at the bottled water in front of him.
Even the mineral water has annotations on the panel.
This is the "Iron King's Ice Heart Dew," containing trace amounts of spiritual energy that can alleviate fatigue during physical training.
"Apply for a card now and get a discount on the annual fee!"
He continued his introduction even after seeing Jiang Heng remain silent.
"The original price was 7888, but for our new store opening special, it's only 3666!"
As he said this, he pointed to himself.
We'll also give you two free celebrity personal training sessions worth 999 each! And we'll create a training plan tailored to your individual needs!
Really!
Don't miss this opportunity, bro!
[The power-transferring deacon, Ah Hu, has revealed his true intentions and unleashed his supernatural powers upon you: the "Gold-Destroying Technique" and the "Blessing Temptation"]
"3666...that's so expensive..."
Jiang Heng unscrewed the 'Iron King Ice Heart Dew' and took a sip.
Hmm, it still tastes like regular mineral water.
After finishing his drink, Jiang Heng looked at Ah Hu and asked, "The annual card is 3666? There are no extra charges, right?"
"There's no extra charge!" Ah Hu panicked when he heard Jiang Heng's misunderstanding, patting his muscular chest to assure him, "The extra charge I was talking about..."
He glanced around and whispered, "If you register for other training programs at the front desk, or buy any fitness supplements, this will definitely be extra; it's not something you get for free..."
I can only guarantee that if you don't listen to other people's hype this year, you will only spend a maximum of 3666.
"If you ask about nutritional supplements or anything like that, I can recommend some, but please don't mention that I take a cut."
[The transmission master, Ah Hu, spoke earnestly, directly pointing to the Dao heart. Listen to his words, guard your spiritual platform, do not be blinded by the word 'greed,' and firmly remember the 'Gengjin Daoqi·Year' itself, which will reduce the 'heavy offerings of incense and money.']
"You didn't lie to me..."
After seeing this prompt, Jiang Heng knew that Ah Hu was not lying to him.
But to be honest, even if it's a scam, we still have to go for the sake of "spiritual roots and cultivation techniques".
"Okay, I'll do it your way." Jiang Heng took out his phone, quickly opened the QR code scanner, and said, "3666, I'll pay now."
"Okay, bro!"
Upon hearing this, Ah Hu's smile became genuine for the first time.
"You have such good taste! Actually, I was going to talk to you about the 'lifetime membership,' but the 'annual membership' is enough!"
Why don't you practice for a bit first? Your brother will give you a yearly membership right away!
"It won't take a year, just one month. If you follow my instructions and practice for one month, I guarantee you'll be completely transformed!"
[Three thousand six hundred and sixty-six pieces of 'incense gold' have been injected into the sect's grand array of the 'Iron King Body Refining Sect']
[The "Gengjin Daoqi" (Yearly Contract) was successfully concluded.]
[You have officially become a "half-step true disciple" of the "Iron King Body Refining Sect" and are free to use all the "Body Refining Treasures" within the sect.]
[Reward: +0.1 to Metal Attribute Spiritual Root, "Nine-Foot Golden Body - Chapter 1"]
[New Task: Follow the instructions of the "Transmission of Skills Steward" and diligently practice within the sect for one month.]
[Reward: Metal-attribute spiritual root +0.2]
