Chapter 1: Memories of a Pill G.o.d
“Who am I? I am… Long Chen!”
“I look down on the very heavens, the arrogant Nine Firmaments’ peerless Pill G.o.d - Long Chen? … I am someone who is cheated and bullied by everyone, a spineless good-for-nothing incapable of cultivating - Long Chen?”
His mind was filled with confusion, and at the same time severe pain came from all over his body . Long Chen was unable to stop his mind’s chaotic thoughts and emitted a pained groan .
“Chen-er, you’ve finally awakened? Thank G.o.d, your mom was worried sick for you! If you want to brag about how strong you are then fine, but why did you have to go duel with those people!?”
A kind and gentle voice sounded beside Long Chen’s ear . The voice was full of happiness and comfort, but towards the end it also became choked with emotion .
Long Chen slowly opened his eyes . His blurry vision gradually became clearer, and a woman’s face appeared before him .
The woman appeared to be in her thirties and she was extremely beautiful . However, in the corner of her eyes were some deep wrinkles that did not match up with her young age .
Currently this woman was tearfully looking at Long Chen with eyes that were full of love, making Long Chen’s heart feel a burst of warmth .
“Child, you scared your mom to death . ” As the woman spoke her eyes became even redder and her tears streamed down .
“Mom???”
Long Chen looked at this familiar yet strange face . He doubtingly said this one word, his face filled with confusion .
“Child, don’t scare your mom! Don’t you recognize me?” The woman’s face immediately became panicked .
At this moment, an elderly man appeared beside the woman . He examined Long Chen he said, “Mrs . Long, Long Chen suffered a blow to the back of his head so it’s possible he will need to rest a bit to recover his memories . Don’t be too worried; just now I gave the young master some medicine . The medicinal effects still haven’t completely dissolved, so just let the young master rest for a bit longer . ”
Mrs . Long looked worriedly at Long Chen . Reluctantly she nodded her head and she followed the elderly man out of the room .
Long Chen heard the elderly man in the distance softly advising the woman, “Mrs . Long, the fact that young master Long managed to return with his life is already infinitely lucky . Don’t force it too much . ”
Mrs . Long tremblingly replied, “Master alchemist’s meaning is that my son will… . ”
The elderly man who had been called an alchemist sighed, “The young lord’s hindbrain received an acute shock . To tell the truth, being able to wake up is already extremely lucky; however the repercussions will definitely still be very severe . Losing his memory is quite possible in this situation… . ”
The two people gradually walked further and further away so Long Chen could no longer hear it clearly . . . but what was barely audible to him was the sound of Mrs . Long’s sobbing .
Long Chen gazed blankly at the ceiling above as he felt the severe pains throughout his body, especially at the back of his head which was bursting with a swollen aching pain .
Just what happened? I’m Long Chen, and so Mrs . Long is my flesh and blood mother . How could I have such an unfamiliar feeling?
And all these confusing memories, where did they come from? I have memories that I’m an arrogant, exceedingly powerful person… but at the same time I remember that I’m an often bullied and extorted bitter trash?
Pill G.o.d Long Chen? Trash Long Chen? Which is the real me? Am I the Pill G.o.d’s reincarnation? Or am I a fusion of the Pill G.o.d’s spirit with a trash weakling?
Long Chen’s mind was full of endless questions . “Whatever, it doesn’t matter . I am Long Chen . If I’m the Pill G.o.d then or not doesn’t mean anything right now; the most important thing is that I’m still alive . ”
“I have two sets of memories that have mixed together; how would I even try to fix this kind of insane problem? Instead, what I need to do now is let myself recover as quickly as possible . ”
Sensing his body’s current condition, he quickly located many fractures . He had three broken ribs, one arm broken in two places, and most severe of all, his hindbrain was injured to the point where a large portion of his scalp had caved in . He had definitely been victim to an extremely vicious a.s.sault .
“Huh, although I have no way to condense energy, my Spiritual Strength appears to be extremely powerful . I can actually sense everything within thirty meters of my body . ”
Long Chen was pleasantly surprised . According to his garbled memories, Spiritual Strength was extremely invaluable, and it was especially the most important thing to Pill Cultivators!
Profit, profit! Whether he was the reincarnation of the Pill G.o.d or just a mix containing the Pill G.o.d’s memories, the present him had definitely greatly profited .
The previous him had lived a whole lifetime as a Pill G.o.d, and now that allowed the current him to possess an exceptionally strong spirit; just what kind of awesomeness was this?
However, when he carefully examined his body, his expression changed . “My Spiritual Root has been taken away . My abdemon’s Spirit Bone is also missing a piece that appears to be dug out . And my heart has a hole? Just who would be this ruthless and take my Spirit Root, Spirit Bone and Spirit Blood? No wonder I can’t cultivate . ” Long Chen was completely infuriated .
The current him’s Spiritual Strength was exceptionally strong, even to the point where just a quick glance allowed him to solve the mystery of why the current him was a completely useless cripple .
The Spirit Root was located in the Dantian’s energy source; it was a cultivator’s foundation . Without the Spirit Root, there was no way to sense heaven and earth’s spiritual energy, let alone absorb it for cultivating .
Spirit Blood was something that people were born with; it was a trace of Xiantian blood . While basically all people were born with it, the majority of cultivators didn’t know anything about it .
