"And perfect control over muscles and bones is..."
Li Ling stood up, took a deep breath, and the next moment his muscles twitched and his bones cracked. In no time, his originally strong and tall figure shrank to a height of 1.6 meters.
Li Ling touched his body, experiencing this visual sensation that was different from anything he had ever seen before, and found it quite novel.
"Not only can it make you shorter, it can also make you taller."
Li Ling once again controlled his muscles and bones, and with a series of cracking sounds, his body gradually grew taller. Before long, he had become a towering man nearly two meters tall.
"Haha!" Li Ling burst out laughing, his voice carrying a slight buzzing quality despite his small, giant-like size.
"And then, you can disguise yourself."
Li Ling rubbed his face with his large hand, and his facial muscles began to twitch. In a short while, his originally handsome face turned into a rugged, square-faced one.
From a distance, Li Ling's square face, combined with his current height of nearly two meters, makes him look like a smaller version of Yao Ming.
Yeah, you don't even need to jump to dunk in basketball.
Then Li Ling wiped his face again with his large hand, and his facial muscles twitched, transforming his face into a completely different one.
Wait, isn't that slightly lewd face... the Ghost King Da? This is simply out of this dimension, a truly despicable character!
"Haha, this is simply a divine skill for murder, robbery, and theft!" Li Ling thought to himself, feeling quite pleased.
Of course, he was just thinking about it; he would never do anything against his conscience. How could the upright and kind Master Li do such a despicable thing?
As for what doesn't go against one's conscience, Li Ling tapped his own conscience and murmured to himself, "What doesn't go against your conscience?"
...
Since transmigrating to this world a week ago, Li Ling has been opening his shop for business as usual in the mornings, and then driving to this dense forest in the suburbs to practice his martial arts in the afternoons.
Running a restaurant was just a means for him to make a living. He only needed to earn enough to cover his daily expenses. Money was nothing to Li Ling, especially since acquiring money was very easy for him now.
Short of money? Fight some gangsters for the people of South Korea and you'll get a sum of money in no time... I mean, righteous funds.
Since acquiring the cultivation technique, Li Ling had persevered in practicing for so long, yet he had never been able to reach the Grandmaster level of Dragon Roar Iron Shirt. Today, he finally broke through, which made Li Ling extremely happy.
Picking up his coat from a nearby tree branch and casually tossing it over his shoulder, Li Ling strode towards his van and drove back to the restaurant.
Now that he has mastered his divine skills, a joyous occasion, he plans to return home and cook a meal of his hometown dishes to reward himself for his hard work over the past period. (Wish Star of All Heavens and Realms)

Chapter 123 Reunion
Back at the restaurant, Li Ling went to the bathroom in his second-floor apartment to wash away the dust of his journey. Feeling refreshed, he went down to the kitchen, took out some fresh vegetables from the refrigerator, and was about to cook a big meal when he discovered that Do Myung-hee had dragged Koo Ja-yoon to his place again.
"Oh, is the shop closed in the afternoon?" Du Mingji, still as lively as ever, immediately pointed to the "Closed in the afternoon" sign at the shop entrance and asked.
Little Witch Gu Ziyun became much more reserved, looking at Li Ling with her big eyes without saying a word.
Looking at the two beautiful girls, Li Ling, already in high spirits due to his breakthrough in martial arts, was even more delighted and asked them, "Have you finished school?"
"Yes, yes, we originally wanted to go home, but when we thought about the delicious food you made, we decided to come and eat here!" Du Mingji said cheerfully, but then her expression turned slightly downcast as she added, "But we didn't expect you to be closed this afternoon!"
Li Ling nodded and explained the situation of her restaurant's operations: "Yes, I'm only open in the morning. I have other things to do in the afternoon."
But seeing Du Mingji's dejected expression, he changed the subject again: "Since you're here, and I'm going to cook for myself anyway, why don't you stay and eat with us?"
He was going to cook anyway, and now he just needs two more pairs of chopsticks. He can cook a little more himself and take this opportunity to get to know the witch better.
Upon hearing this, Du Mingji's previously gloomy face instantly lit up with joy, and she exclaimed happily, "Really? This young man is so kind!"
At this moment, Gu Ziyun tugged at the excited Du Mingji and said, "Mingji, how about we call it quits? The boss isn't open for business, how can we bother him?"
For a moment, Mingji was in a dilemma.
Li Ling waved his hand, indicating that it didn't matter, and said, "It's alright, I'm going to eat anyway, and it's my honor to dine with two beautiful ladies."
"Really? The young man thinks we're beautiful!" Do Myung-hee covered her chest with surprise, then grabbed Koo Ja-yoon's arm and shook it, saying, "Ja-yoon, let's stay. The young man is so friendly."
With a helpless expression, Gu Ziyun shook off Du Mingji's hand that was shaking her arm and said helplessly, "Alright, alright, I'll do as you say."
Then he turned around and nodded to Li Ling to thank him, saying, "Then I'll trouble you, boss."
When Do Myung-hee saw that Koo Ja-yoon did not refuse, she smiled happily and said, "That's right, little brother's cooking skills have made me think about it all afternoon!"
Then Du Mingji said with a mischievous smile, "And the young man might even be hoping that you can stay, Ziyun. This morning, the young man's eyes lingered on Ziyun for a long time."
Du Mingji was referring to the look in Li Ling's eyes when he unexpectedly discovered the witch that morning.
At this moment, Gu Ziyun also looked at Li Ling, a hint of suspicion and vigilance flashing deep in her eyes. After escaping from the organization, she had been looking for the organization to solve her headache problem. This morning, Li Ling's unusual gaze made her suspect that Li Ling was related to the organization.
Li Ling simply smiled and said, "I'm planning to make dumplings. I wonder if you'd like some?"
"Wow, dumplings! I love them the most!" Du Mingji nodded quickly.
Gu Ziyun nodded in agreement.
Li Ling then asked, "I have both pork and beef fillings here, but I don't know which one you'd like?"
"Pork, I guess." The two said in unison. Gu Ziyun's family runs a cattle farm, and they eat beef all the time, so they're getting a bit tired of it.
Li Ling nodded, opened two bottles of drinks and handed them to the two of them: "You two sit and chat first, I'll go cook now." With that, he changed into his work clothes, put on his chef's hat, washed his hands and started cooking.
