Heavenly Cloud Kingdom, Misty Peak Town, Li Family Residence.
On this night, the moon was full and bright, casting its silver light over the town. The mist seemed to glow with a faint radiance, creating a dreamy and tranquil scene.
The clouds in the sky were soft and fluffy, like cotton candy. They moved slowly across the moon, creating different shapes and shadows
Meanwhile, in one of the houses of the Li Family, a bedridden youth suddenly opened his eyes.
Cough! Cough! Cough!
He felt a sharp pain in his chest and coughed up blood. He looked at his surroundings with confusion.
Li Tian, the youth, was in a pitiful state. His face was covered with blood and bruises, his bones were shattered, and his organs were ruptured. He was barely hanging on to his life.
In the room, there was also a man with a domineering presence and a powerful aura.
He was Li Feng, the patriarch of the Li Family and Li Tian's father. He looked at his son with a mixture of joy and sorrow, and his eyes were moist with tears.
"Tian'er! You finally woke up! Do you know how much your father suffered when he saw you like this?" Li Feng exclaimed, his voice trembling with emotion. He hugged Li Tian tightly, as if afraid to lose him again.
Li Feng's eyes were filled with tears, and Li Tian felt a warm feeling in his chest.
He had the memories of the original Li Tian, and he knew how much this man cared for him.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "A father's love is boundless! It transcends life and death, time and space. No matter what life I live, I will always cherish a father's love."
Li Feng reached into his pocket and took out a pill. He gently placed it into Li Tian's mouth and said, "Here, swallow this Rejuvenation Pill. It will heal your injuries and restore your vitality."
Li Feng said with a gentle tone, "Tian'er, you should get some rest. This Rejuvenation Pill is very precious and costly, and it won't work well if you don't sleep properly."
Li Tian sighed and nodded his head. He felt grateful for Li Feng's care and generosity.
Li Feng then got up and walked out of the room, leaving Li Tian alone with his thoughts.
The original owner of this body, Li Feng's son, had perished in a duel against the heir of the Han Family, one of the three great powers in Misty Peak Town.
However, his fate changed when the soul of the Alchemy Emperor took over his body.
This soul belonged to Li Tian, the Alchemy Emperor, who had been trapped in the Nine Realms Cube for 100,000 years.
Li Tian was a legendary figure who had reached the Void Refinement Realm in cultivation and the quasi-Alchemy Emperor level in alchemy.
While in the Nine Realms Cube's inner space, he had mastered the 1st layer of the Nine Cycles Foundation Scripture, a support type technique that could create an unparalleled foundation for cultivation.
He was now reincarnated into a weak and injured body.
Li Tian had no choice but to swallow a Rejuvenation Pill that his father gave him. He grimaced as he felt the pill's low quality and muttered to himself, "How pathetic! I, the Alchemy Emperor, who could refine heavenly pills and elixirs, have to consume this trash! This is an insult to my alchemy skills!"
Li Tian clenched his teeth in fury as he thought, "Even though I have a new life in this body, I, Li Tian, am not a heartless person who forgets kindness. The grudge you bear is also the grudge I bear."
"Han Yu, you will pay for your sins!"
Li Tian fell into a deep slumber as his body was riddled with wounds. He did not wake up for three days, during which the Rejuvenation Pill he had taken worked its magic on his flesh and blood.
On the fourth day, Li Tian finally opened his eyes. He felt a surge of vitality in his veins and a clearness in his mind.
He got out of his bed and walked towards the mirror. He saw a handsome young man with a few traces of bruises on his face. His long purple hair cascaded down his shoulders, and his eyes were as dark and deep as the night sky. He had a captivating charm that could make anyone's heart skip a beat.
He nodded in satisfaction at his appearance, then returned to his bed and sat cross-legged. He began to examine his cultivation level.
"This body has reached the 5th layer of the Body Refining Realm. The original owner cultivated the Flame Spirit Technique, which is a mediocre fire technique that can only help me reach the Spirit Condensation Realm at most."
The Body Refining Realm was the first stage of cultivation, where one absorbed the Qi from the environment and used it to strengthen their physical body and organs, as well as to fill their meridians with Qi.
In the Crimson Lotus World, the cultivation realms were divided into ten stages: Body Refining, Qi Gathering, Spirit Condensation, Soul Formation, Soul Fusion, Spirit Severing, Dao Integration, Void Prying, Void Refinement, and Immortal Ascension.
Li Tian pondered over what cultivation technique he should choose.
In his previous life as the Alchemy Emperor, he had collected countless cultivation techniques from various sources. Many people would offer him their techniques in exchange for his pill concoction services.
After a moment of deliberation, Li Tian decided on one technique. "The Spirit Wood Nine Flames Technique is the most suitable for this body's aptitude. It was one of the techniques I coveted in my past life, but I discovered it too late to change my cultivation path."
Li Tian's eyes sparkled with excitement as he recalled the details of the technique. "The Spirit Wood Nine Flames Technique is a manual that teaches how to use the energy of fire to stimulate the growth of wood, and then use the wood to fuel the fire, creating a cycle of endless power and destruction."
"Unfortunately, my cultivation speed will be very slow. This body has the Burning Tree Spiritual Body, a Mortal Grade one. It's nothing compared to the Wooden Phoenix Spiritual Body I had in my previous life. That was a Divine Grade one."
There are five main levels of Spiritual Bodies: Mortal, Profound, Earth, Heaven, Divine. Each level has three sublevels: Low, Middle, and High.
"But I can't lose hope. I still have the Nine Cycles Foundation Scripture. It can help me strengthen my foundation and make it unbreakable and supreme!"
"Besides, I'm the Alchemy Emperor. Pills are not a problem for me."
