Who am I? I'm Long Chen. " "I'm the peerless Pill Emperor Long Chen who looks down on the world? I'm the useless Long Chen who is bullied by everyone and can't cultivate? " His mind was a mess, and he felt intense pain all over his body. Long Chen couldn't help but stop his chaotic thoughts and let out a pained groan. "Chen-er, you're finally awake? That's great! Mom was worried sick. Tell me, why did you have to fight someone when you were fine? " A warm voice rang out in Long Chen's ear. That voice was filled with joy and comfort. But towards the end, it became slightly choked with emotion. Long Chen slowly opened his eyes. His surroundings were blurry, and when his vision became clear, he saw a woman's face. That woman looked to be in her thirties. She was extremely beautiful, but there were several deep crow's feet at the corners of her eyes that didn't match her age. That woman was looking at Long Chen with teary eyes. Her gaze was filled with love and pampering, causing Long Chen's heart to feel a burst of warmth. "Child, you really scared your mom to death." That woman's eyes became even redder, and tears streamed down her cheeks. "Mom?" Long Chen looked at this familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar face. He curiously called out this name, a trace of shock on his face. "Child, don't scare your mom. Do you not even recognize your mom?" That woman immediately became panicked. At this time, an elder appeared beside the woman. Looking at Long Chen, he said, "Mrs. Long, young master Long Chen suffered a heavy blow to the back of his head. He might need some time to recover. Don't be too anxious. The medicine you just gave him hasn't completely dissolved yet. It's best to let him rest a bit." Mrs. Long worriedly looked at Long Chen and reluctantly nodded. She reluctantly followed the elder out of the room. From a distance, Long Chen heard the elder quietly advise the woman, "Mrs. Long, this time young master Long managed to escape with his life. It's already extremely fortunate. You can't force anything." Mrs. Long's voice trembled. "Alchemist, you mean my son, he …" The elder called Alchemist sighed. "Young master Long suffered a heavy blow to the back of his head. To tell the truth, being able to wake up is already extremely fortunate. But the repercussions are extremely severe. Even if he lost his memories, it's still within reason …" The two of them gradually walked further and further away. Long Chen could no longer hear them clearly. He could only faintly hear Mrs. Long's sobbing. Long Chen looked up at the ceiling, feeling intense pain all over his body. That was especially true of the back of his head. "Just what's going on? I am Long Chen, and Mrs. Long is my mother. How could I have such unfamiliar feelings towards her? And where did all those chaotic memories come from? I seem to be an incredibly amazing person, but how come I'm also an incredibly bitter good-for-nothing? Pill Emperor Long Chen? Trash Long Chen? Just which one is the real me? Was it a Pill Emperor that took over my body and was reborn? Or did the trash merge with a Pill Emperor's soul? " Endless question marks surged through Long Chen's mind. No matter what, he was Long Chen. Whether he was trash or a Pill Emperor, the most important thing was that he was still alive. Since the two memories had merged together, there was no need for him to worry about such an idiotic question. What he needed to do now was to recover as quickly as possible. Feeling his body, he found that there were many broken bones. Three of his ribs were broken, and one of his arms was broken in two places. Especially the back of his head, a large portion of his skull had caved in. What a vicious method. "Oh? Although I can't condense any qi, my Spiritual Strength seems to be extremely powerful. I can actually sense everything within thirty meters of my body." Long Chen couldn't help being pleasantly surprised. According to his chaotic memories, he knew that Spiritual Strength was extremely precious, especially to a Pill Master. He had profited. Whether it was the Pill God's rebirth or the Pill God's memories, he had profited immensely. The former was a reincarnation that allowed him to live another life. As for the latter, he had obtained the soul of a peerless expert. Just how amazing was that? But when he carefully examined his body, Long Chen's expression changed. "My Spirit Root has been sucked away, and my Spirit Bone is missing a piece. It should have been dug out. There's a hole in my heart? Just who would be so vicious as to snatch away my Spirit Root, Spirit Bone, and Spirit Blood? No wonder I can't cultivate! "Long Chen was infuriated. His Spiritual Strength was extremely powerful, and he could already see within himself. He immediately discovered the secret of why he had become a cripple. The Spirit Root was a ball of Root Qi within the Dantian. It was the root of cultivation. Without a Spirit Root, it was impossible to sense heaven and earth's spiritual qi, let alone absorb it to cultivate. Spirit Blood was a trace of innate blood that a person was born with. Practically everyone had it, but the majority of cultivators didn't know about it. The Spirit Bone was located in a person's chest. It was a slight protrusion. Ordinary people didn't have a Spirit Bone. Even amongst cultivators, because it was one in ten thousand, it was the mark of a peak genius. As for the Spirit Bone on Long Chen's chest, it was clearly missing a piece. That was the mark of someone digging it out. Long Chen's expression was extremely ugly. If he hadn't merged with his memories, he still wouldn't have known that someone had done something to his body. According to reason, although those three things were precious, once they left a person's body, they were useless. If someone wanted to harm him, why would they go to such great lengths? Such a method was practically making him wish he was dead. But even if he was angry, now that those three things were gone, there was no point in being angry. "It's best if I don't find out who did it Long Chen clenched his teeth. That was too sinister. With his Spirit Bone, even if he used his butt to think, he would still be considered a genius. But now because of this despicable bastard, he had become a cripple who couldn't cultivate. He was bullied by others and looked down on by others. Just as Long Chen's fury was about to explode, the door was gently pushed open and a beautiful girl who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old walked in. That was Long Chen's personal maid called Bao-er. "Young master, it's time to eat your medicine." "Medicine? What medicine are you holding? "Long Chen's nose twitched slightly. "This is a Tiger Bone Pill that madam spent an enormous amount of money to obtain. It can quickly heal young master's external injuries," answered Bao-er. She opened a small case, revealing a medicinal pill inside. "I heard this medicinal pill came from grandmaster Yun Qi. Its medicinal energy is extremely strong. Young master, let Bao-er help you eat it." Long Chen's expression was strange as he looked at the thing in his hand. This kind of thing could be called a pill? It was three flat and four not round, just like a meatball. As for the shape, it was completely black without the slightest luster. If it weren't for the faint medicinal fragrance it emitted, Long Chen would have suspected it to be a sheep dung egg. After looking at it for a long time, Long Chen sighed. To be able to waste over eighty percent of a medicinal pill's medicinal energy, that must have been difficult for this' grandmaster '. Long Chen was completely bewildered. Just how had he managed to accomplish this? Even if it was rotten, it could still be rotten to this level. Medicinal pills were split into five ranks: low, middle, high, top, and peerless. But this meatball clearly did not belong to those five ranks. Long Chen suddenly realized this was a defective pill. This was a trash pill. Normally Pill Masters definitely wouldn't sell such a medicinal pill. That was because they couldn't afford to lose such a person. They would usually refine it into medicinal liquid or directly throw it away. "Young master, don't just stare blankly. Madam Long sold off all her jewelry for this pill. You should quickly consume it," urged Bao-er. Long Chen couldn't help feeling pain in his heart. In his memories, his mother had always doted on him. Her doting had reached the level of spoiling him. It seemed that no matter what he wanted, his mother wouldn't refuse. For him, his mother had worried herself to death. Madam Long had been a generation's beauty when she was young. Now she was only in her thirties, but just looking at the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, it was obvious she had sacrificed a great deal for Long Chen. Looking at the medicinal pill in his hand, although it was a defective product, the medicinal ingredients were not bad. Even if eighty percent of it was impurities, it should still be able to heal his injuries. After consuming the medicinal pill, Long Chen told Bao-er not to tell anyone about him for now, including his mother.Although Bao-er didn't understand, out of trust in Long Chen, she obediently nodded. After consuming the pill, although Long Chen was unable to use his cultivation base to refine the medicinal energy, he could use his powerful Spiritual Strength to guide the medicinal energy to his injuries. His recovery speed was extremely fast. The next day, Long Chen slowly opened his eyes. A smile appeared on his face, and he stretched out a bit. Excellent. Although the medicinal pill wasn't very good, the medicinal ingredients themselves were very good. Other than the back of his head, most of his injuries had healed. It was more than enough to heal his external injuries. He slowly walked over to the mirror. Looking at the handsome youth in the mirror, Long Chen solemnly said, "Starting today, I, Long Chen, will no longer be the Long Chen of the past. I will rise." Although his body was still a bit weak, walking wasn't a problem. When Long Chen left his room, the sun had already risen in the east. Long Chen carefully thought about it for an hour before calling Bao-er over. He wrote down a list of medicinal ingredients for her and had her go get them. But Bao-er's expression was a bit awkward. Long Chen immediately understood. Right now, the Long family was extremely tight on money, and Bao-er was unable to get money from the accountant. Otherwise, his mother wouldn't have sold off her own jewelry. That had been her dowry and was exceptionally precious. The current Long family was truly in dire straits. Feeling his pockets, he found he still had over eighty silver coins. Although it wasn't much, it was more than enough to buy these medicinal ingredients. Bao-er was very diligent, and in less than two hours, she had bought all the medicinal ingredients. Long Chen immediately began to mix the medicinal ingredients according to different proportions and began to boil them in a pot. Six hours later, the dense medicinal liquid had already begun to emit a medicinal fragrance. Looking at this cheap medicinal liquid, a smile appeared on Long Chen's face. "My, Long Chen's, rise will start with this medicinal soup."
