The sun has risen up from one corner of the sky.
A young thirteen-year-old boy sitting cross-legged on the large boulder shook and opened his eyes calmly. He was none other than Lin Lee.
After knowing that his enemy was strong and located in the Tian village, he left the cart imdiately and moved to the location tens of miles away overnight.
"This chaos field is really tightly based on power rules; even my boundless heaven art can’t bypass the spiritual root limit."
Lin Lee muttered thoughtfully and then sensed the negligible amount of qi gathered in his physique.
He couldn’t even break through the first level of the gathering qi realm after practicing for a few hours; even after practicing the boundless heaven art, he couldn’t break the restrictions and bypass the root limit in his body.
’I have to find a way to upgrade my spiritual root level, and also, before that, I have to find out what kind of spiritual root I have. There is no definition of roots in this boy’s mory, just the basic information of this world, which is limited to a small village.’
Lin Lee thought to himself, and then he stood up and walked forward, continuing on his journey.
After a while,
He hiked and halted on a steep hill edge, looking in all directions below in order to find another village or town.
’Is that a town or city?. It looks like walls.’
Lin Lee thought to himself, his eyes lit up looking at the small wall-like structure in the far-away left direction.
He then descended the cliff and moved in that direction.
"Gurgling!!!"
Instantly a loud noise spread from his stomach, and his footsteps halted in place with his face turned a little pale because of hunger.
"I have to do sothing about the food; this hum will be finished after this al."
Lin Lee muttered thoughtfully, his brow furrowed, looking at the long hum hanging on his waist, half-eaten; then he consud a piece from it and drank the water from the gourd and then glanced at the direction of the forest beside the clear path.
’I should have ventured through the forest, but my current strength isn’t enough to deal with those dangerous beasts or animals.’
A thought flashed through his mind, and then he walked forward on the clear path edge leading toward the destination of high walls he selected before.
After a while,
’Why am I feeling that sothing dangerous is gazing at ?’
Lin Lee thought and then stopped near a tree at the edge of the path, and his face turned extrely pale, and goosebumps spread on his whole body as if sothing horrible were targeting him.
Swish!
The next mont, wind flashed, and a figure appeared in front of him; it was an old man wearing strange dark jewelry on his nose, ears, and piercings all around his neck, face, and even the fingers of his hands.
"Little guy, you shouldn’t wander in such a place alone." The old figure spoke with a smile while showing his dark teeth. Lin Lee felt nauseous feeling the foul and sour sll from the figure in front of him.
’Damn, I can’t move. What kind of trouble is this? It seems I have encountered sothing dangerous.’
Lin Lee thought to himself while trying to move, but the strange suppression affecting his body froze him in place.
"Senior, I just want to visit the city..." Lin Lee spoke, and then the next mont his vision darkened and he fell on the ground.
"Don’t worry, little guy, I will take you there."
The old man spoke expressionlessly and then waved his hand, picked him up, and flew away.
After a while,
Lin Lee opened his eyes, and a dim light flashed through his vision. At the sa ti, a pungent, woody sll mixed with dicine teased his sense of sll.
’Am I in the dicine shop? No, it’s a pill-concocting room. It seems I am in huge trouble.’
Lin Lee thought to himself his expression beca ugly after seeing the surroundings. He was located in a spacious room filled with cauldrons and boxes of dicine beside the table, and the residues on the table emitted a pungent sll. At the sa ti, many jars were displayed on the shelves with different types of dead and alive worms; each of these worms looked more hideous and dangerous than the others.
Just as he wanted to move, the next mont his brow furrowed and a sharp pain flashed in his whole body, affecting his veins, bones, and even the muscles. After that, extre hunger and weakness followed.
’Are these Gu worms?’
Lin Lee hurriedly initiated running the boundless art, and then he found out a foreign object was residing in his body, and it’s not one.
Knob!!!
Just as he was observing his body condition, the door opening and closing sound spread, and the familiar old man walked inside.
After looking at Lin Lee, he nodded and spoke expressionlessly, "After today you will work as a dicine boy here; keep this room clean, and I will teach you the way of dicine in return."
Lin Lee controlled his urge to curse and then nodded in a daze, showing that he was recovering from the sudden fright and shock.
’If I hadn’t found those worms in my body, I would have believed this ugly old bastard.’
Lin Lee thought to himself and then fell silent, looking at the old man in a daze.
"By the way, my na is Gu Han. Here, you can drink this porridge dicine; your bones were weak when I found you."
Then the old man introduced himself and passed the bowl filled with rice porridge with so other dicine.
Lin Lee’s brow furrowed a little, slling the sa pungent sll that he noticed on the residue dicine before, and then he drank it calmly, as survival is the first priority now.
’I have to act carefully; if this soul ray is killed, I can’t send another one inside this omniverse, or it will alarm the whole heaven of this chaos field. It doesn’t matter; enduring discomfort is way better than seeking death.’
Lin Lee thought while comforting his heart and diverting his mind from the bitter and strong taste of the porridge.
"Ahhhhhhhh,"
Instantly Lin Lee emitted a painful grunt and grabbed his stomach; a dark blue color spread from the center of his body and covered his whole physique, and veins bulged.
’Damn, it was poison,’ Lin Lee thought to himself while sweating profusely, Did he deliberately emit a cry after feeling the pain, or because of his current will can he endure any kind of torture and pain?
At the sa ti, sothing in his heart moved, and all the poison was redirected toward the heart and was absorbed by that thing. All the dark blue and black veins on his body returned to normal.
’I understand, this guy is nourishing his Gu worms using my body,’
Lin Lee thought to himself, feeling the changes in his body, then he sighed in relief and glanced at the old man, who was observing him calmly.
"Very well, do your job and you will eat and drink. Also, I will teach you the knowledge regarding dicine." The old man Gu nodded, and then he turned around and walked toward the table.
"Senior, you look like a super strong immortal, as my grandfather described. Can you tell what kind of roots I have and where they are located in the body?"
Instantly the old man froze and then glanced in the direction of Lin Lee, seeing his anticipated gaze.
’It’s a pity these maggots try every way to seek immortality, but no one has such fortune.’
A thought flashed through the old Gu’s heart, and then he glanced at Lin Lee and spoke coldly, "Your roots are the most basic non-attribute roots that belong to mortals who can’t practice immortality; roots are the last piece of backbone. Without them, the mortals are the worst among the mortals. Now clean the room."
After speaking, he ordered and turned around, walking away and exiting the room, leaving behind silent Lin Lee.
"So that’s how it is."
Lin Lee muttered thoughtfully, touched the backbone, and then his expression beca deeper, and he added,
"If there is no attribute, then I will add to it, although my boundless art can’t bypass the rules, but it can easily bend them once I know the rules. Let’s start with poison as the first attribute."
After speaking, he glanced at the dirty and untidy room and started cleaning it up.
After a while he sat down cross-legged on the bed and started running the boundless art. He didn’t target the heaven and earth energy; instead, he started targeting the foreign object in his physique, especially the Gu worm in his heart.
The next mont, all the worms in his body froze because of the suppression and overbearing effect of boundless heaven art; slowly the poison and energy were extracted from these worms and then flowed through the upper backbone all the way to the lower root and fused with it under his control.
Slowly a light green gleam flashed on his root...
