Golden Dragon Grass was a unique spirit grass.

It was said that it was the main ingredient of Golden Dragon Pills, and it had immense medicinal properties.

​​

With the Golden Dragon Grass, no matter how grave the injury, it could be healed.

Even if someone had stopped breathing the previous moment, they could become revitalized in the next.

Liu Li did not know how much use the Golden Dragon Grass would be to Chen Heng, but from what the legends said, it should be of some use.

Perhaps it could even cause Chen Heng to make a full recovery.

"Let alone the Golden Dragon Grass, even a Golden Dragon Pill would be useless," a cold voice suddenly sounded out.

"Who is it?!" Liu Li's body froze as he instinctively spoke, his body feeling numb.

Was there someone listening nearby?

However, a voice sounded out in his mind.

The cold voice continued to speak, sounding a bit teasing, "What nonsense. There's no one nearby; I'm in your body."

"In my body…" Liu Li shivered as many thoughts appeared in his mind.

Over the past year, Chen Heng had taught them much knowledge about cultivation, including some things about possession.

At this moment, Liu Li thought of this.

As such, he instinctively looked into the distance, where Chen Heng's room was.

Those who could possess others were all old monsters.

Facing these old monsters, ordinary people would not be a match for them.

Only Chen Heng might be able to deal with them.

He quickly thought to himself.

It was as if that voice could read Liu Li's mind, and it continued to speak, "What nonsense. Possession? Why would anyone want to possess you?

"Didn't your teacher tell you that possession targets at the very least have complete Spirit Roots?

"Who would want to possess someone with as bad talent as you?"

Liu Li was stunned before coming back to his senses.

That made sense; he did not have to worry about this at all.

With his garbage talent, no one would want to possess him.

According to Chen Heng, if someone wanted to possess someone else, they had to fulfil three conditions: they had to have similar cultivation foundation, a complete Spirit Root, and talent.

A complete Spirit Root was one of the most important requirements; even if someone tried to possess someone without a complete Spirit Root, it would just result in failure.

Right now, Liu Li did not know whether to rejoice or to cry.

So the worst thing in this world was not being possessed but not even having the qualifications to be possessed.

Thinking to there, he inwardly sighed before asking, "Who are you then?"

He felt quite wary.

This person had suddenly appeared within him and seemed to have been watching him for a long time.

Putting aside the possibility of possession, he was still unable to relax.

After all, even though he could not be possessed, that was not the case for those around him.

If this person wanted to possess his little sister, he would not be able to accept it either.

It was even possible that this person was Chen Heng's enemy; if he brought him over, wouldn't he be helping the enemy?

The voice sounded out in frustration, "Stop thinking nonsense. Didn't we meet long ago?"

"Meet long ago?" Liu Li felt quite stunned.

Following this, some mist appeared before his eyes, and an elder's figure was revealed; this elder seemed incredibly familiar.

"It's you!"

Looking at this person, memories flashed in Liu Li's mind.

Back then, when he was young, a tragedy had happened.

The Liu family had fallen on hard times and their enemies and come to attack them.

At the most critical moment, a black-robed elder had appeared, blocking those enemies.

Those things had happened when Liu Li had been very young; if it was any ordinary person, they would have forgotten about it already.

However, Liu Li was different.

As a transmigrator, he remembered practically all of his memories since he was young.

As such, he immediately thought of that person's identity.

"You were that grandpa who appeared that time," he said as he looked at that person.

"Hmph, your memory is pretty good."

Looking at Liu Li, the elder smiled and said, "You've grown much over the years."

He looked at Liu Li with a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.

"Senior, you… just who are you?" Liu Li asked.

Just who was this person? Why did he save them back then and appear again now?

Standing before Liu Li, the elder stood with his hands behind his back, "I… According to mortal concepts, I am your grandfather, the father of your mother."

"Grandfather…" Liu Li felt quite stunned.

He examined the elder closely and discovered something.

The elder indeed had some features that looked quite similar to his, especially the shapes of their faces.

"My mother's father…" Liu Li muttered, seeming to believe him.

His mother in this life was indeed quite mysterious; not only had she left when he was young, she had also not left any information behind.

The only thing she had left behind was the pendant in front of his chest.

Pendant…

Thinking about that pendant, he brought out the pendant and said, "You… were in here this whole time?"

The elder nodded, his expression still somewhat cold, "You're quite smart. When you were born, I was already in this pendant, watching over you.

"This was something used as a protective measure, as well as to help you cultivate. However, I had never thought that the Liu family would be attacked, forcing me to block those people.

"After that, my soul was forced into a slumber and only recently awoke," he said softly.

Liu Li came to a realization.

So this pendant was something that his mother and the elder had left behind for him, so he could inherit their legacies and step onto the path of cultivation.

It was just that because the Liu family's enemies had attacked, the elder had been forced to act back then.

"So you understand now."

In front of the creek, the elder's expression was calm as he told Liu Li many things.

His name was Yu Shan and was Liu Li's grandfather.

"I roughly understand," Liu Li nodded, feeling a bit mystified as he digested the information from Yu Shan.

After coming to this world, he had just thought that he had reincarnated into an ordinary cultivator's family, but he had never thought that there was such history behind it.

This was all quite shocking.

Even though Liu Li's mind was quite strong, it took him a while to accept all of this.

"Grandfather…"

Sitting there, he suddenly remembered what Yu Shan had said earlier, "You said that the Golden Dragon Grass would be useless? Is that true?"

Yu Shan's expression was calm as he looked at Liu Li and shook his head, "Naturally. Let alone Golden Dragon Grass, even a Golden Dragon Pill would be of no help.

"I awoke half a year ago and have been observing this whole time.

"Your teacher has reached his limit since long ago. Let alone Golden Dragon Grass, even an Innate Spirit Pill would be useless."

Liu Li felt great disbelief, "How can it be like that… Teacher… it doesn't look that bad…"

Even though his face was usually pale, that was all there seemed to it. At most, he occasionally coughed.

Yu Shan shook his head, "That's just what you can see on the surface. To people of this level, this kind of situation is already terrible.

"His cultivation foundation has been injured and is on the verge of collapsing; there is no way of saving him."

"Cultivation foundation…" Liu Li felt quite stunned.

Over the past year, Chen Heng had taught them much about one's cultivation foundation.

For a cultivator, if their cultivation foundation was destroyed, that essentially meant that their life was over.

Without a foundation, how could a person live on?

Compared to this, the problems with Liu Li's body was just a small problem.

"It was because I could tell that his cultivation foundation had been destroyed that I did not do anything for the past half a year."

Standing in front of Liu Li, Yu Shan's expression was cold as he said, "Otherwise, I would have told you long ago to leave."

Liu Li understood what Yu Shan was trying to say.

Since Chen Heng's cultivation foundation had been destroyed, he had no hope; there was no chance of possession or anything else.

As such, since he had taken Liu Li as his disciple, he was completely genuine about it and had no ulterior motives.

After all, for someone who was about to die, everything else would be futile.

Liu Li's body froze.

In that moment, he thought of the past.

Chen Heng's appearance and laughter over the past year appeared in his mind.

He was warm and kind to Liu Li, and he treated both Liu Li and Liu Yi completely the same.

Knowing Liu Li's situation, he would often encourage Liu Li and tell him not to be discouraged or give up.

There were also all those times that he used his magic energy to purify Liu Li's body.

Now, the significance was completely different.

Given that his cultivation foundation had been destroyed, using his magic energy to purify Liu Li's body was essentially using up his lifeforce.

Thinking about that, Liu Li felt incredibly complicated and did not know what to say.

Seeing him like this, Yu Shan shook his head but did not say anything.

Only a while later did he speak again, "Your teacher indeed treated you very well."

He spoke with a tone of appreciation, "Based on what I've observed, among my generation, he is an honest and upright person.

"If it was me and I was in his situation, I would not be able to be so calm."

Liu Li fell silent, choking back his emotions.

He opened his mouth and only after a while was he able to speak again, "Is there really no way to help him?"

"If it was earlier, when his cultivation foundation was just destroyed, perhaps there were some things that could have been done."

Yu Shan shook his head as he said, "However… there is not much hope right now."

"Does that mean there is still some hope?" Liu Li's eyes lit up as he quickly asked.

If there was some hope, then it was not impossible.

"I have a technique called the Heaven Devouring Scripture. It was something that I obtained by chance while traveling around," Yu Shan said calmly as he looked at Liu Li.

Following this, he directly waved his hand, and information flooded into Liu Li's mind.

Boom!

The massive amounts of information soon organized into a complex and profound technique.

This technique was called the Heaven Devouring Scripture and focused on devouring other people's constitutions and bloodlines to nurture one's own body, causing one's body to go through changes.

Using this technique, the more constitutions and bloodlines one devoured, the more terrifying and powerful one's body would become.

In the end, there could be unbelievable effects.

Even for someone useless, if they devoured enough constitutions and bloodlines, they could become a genius.

"What is this?!"

After going through this technique, Liu Li felt incredibly startled and cold sweat broke out all over his body.

"This technique…"

Looking at Liu Li, Yu Shan laughed and said, "How is it? I originally prepared this technique for you.

"Your constitution is too lacking and ordinarily, it would be almost impossible for you to cultivate. However, that is only the current situation.

"If you use this Heaven Devouring Scripture and devour many different constitutions and bloodlines, your constitution can quickly become stronger. Even if your constitution was originally trash, you can become a genius. How is that?"

Yu Shan said as he laughed.

"This technique can cause one's constitution to continuously transform and can also make up for problems in one's cultivation foundation, and it can even restore a shattered cultivation foundation.

"With this technique, the more constitutions and bloodlines devoured, the more chance there is of recovery."

Hearing these words, Liu Li fell silent as his breathing became louder.

Devouring constitutions and bloodlines to change one's own constitution and talent.

This kind of technique was undoubtedly an evil technique.

However, the effects…

From when he had come to this world, because of his constitution, he had been labeled as trash and looked down on by everyone. No matter how hard he worked, he could not build a Foundation and truly cultivate.

Even though Chen Heng had continuously used magic energy to purify his body over the past year, it had only caused his situation to become a bit better, and he was still quite a distance away from true cultivation.

Now, if he cultivated this evil technique…

He inwardly sighed but still made a decision.

He frowned and said, "I'll try out this Heaven Devouring Scripture, but my teacher… He might not be willing to use it."

From how Chen Heng acted, he seemed like a noble and righteous person.

For a person like him, he would most likely rather die than be willing to use an evil technique like this.

Thinking to there, he could not help but feel quite troubled.

Liu Li looked at Yu Shan as he frowned and asked, "Are there no problems with this technique? Will there really be no negative consequences of devouring other people's constitutions and bloodlines?"

After one year of teaching from Chen Heng, he was no longer as uninformed and had some basic knowledge.

Were there no downsides to something like this?

Hearing Liu Li's question, Yu Shan felt quite surprised but also quite appreciative.

As such, he nodded and said, "There are naturally some problems.

"If casually devouring other people's constitutions and bloodlines could limitlessly make one's constitution stronger, wouldn't one be able to easily become a peak expert? It's naturally not that simple."

Yu Shan shook his head as he said, "Devouring other people's constitutions and bloodlines will cause you to be affected by them. Those things might affect your mind and personality, and it might even cause you to become a different person."

Yu Shan suddenly said, "In the past, I met a few people who had cultivated this Heaven Devouring Scripture. It was just that in the end, all of them went crazy."

All of them went crazy?

Hearing this, Liu Li's expression became quite grim.

It seemed that this Heaven Devouring Scripture was more dangerous than he had thought.

Devouring other constitutions could affect his mind and personality, and the more he devoured, the more he would be affected.

As for cultivation, if one could not keep one's mind and soul clear and pure, that was incredibly dangerous.

In other words, this was a very risky path.
