Storage!!!
In his previous life, while saving someone, he was hit head-on by a cement mixer and, along with the person he saved, was flattened on the street.
In this life, he is a Genius. A few days ago, he experienced an Awakening and is currently undergoing a Core Formation Lightning Tribulation…
The tribulation clouds dispersed, and he stepped out of the Void Realm, landing on the peak of a small mountain.
His name is Chen Si. He Cultivated for thirty years and successfully achieved Core Formation at the age of thirty-eight.
To help him achieve Core Formation as quickly as possible, Master Changsheng Daoist poured all his resources into him.
Although he possessed a single wood-attribute Spiritual Root, if not for Changsheng Daoist's dedicated nurturing, he would not have achieved Core Formation so quickly.
A single-attribute Spiritual Root is considered a top-tier Cultivation Aptitude, capable of directly leading to the Golden Core Dao.
Over the past thirty years, he only returned to his Family once. All other times, he remained here in seclusion, diligently Cultivating. Finally, today, he reached the Early Stage Golden Core that his Master had long hoped for.
“Master said he would give me a surprise. I wonder what it is?” A hint of gray flickered in Chen Si’s eyes, fleetingly, and a momentary blankness appeared on his face, which even he himself didn't notice.
Unfortunately, after he bid farewell to his father, the entire Chen Family, over five thousand people, was massacred by demonic Cultivators. Even with Changsheng Daoist's abilities, not a single trace could be found.
Casting aside the sadness in his heart, Chen Si walked towards an ancient small courtyard on the mountaintop.
Pushing open the courtyard gate, there were four graves in one corner of the courtyard. These were his four Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters.
Chen Si followed the small path in the courtyard and arrived at the main house's entrance.
“Come in!” A Vicissitudes voice echoed from inside the room.
“Yes, Master!” Chen Si pushed open the door, and a cloud of mist surged out, accompanied by a wave of heat.
“Master, are you Alchemy Medicinal Pills again? Did Disciple come at a bad time?” Chen Si waited for some of the mist to dissipate before stepping inside, respectfully saying.
“No, you came at just the right time!” Changsheng Daoist raised his head, his eyes gleaming with an inexplicable light.
He was currently seated in the center of the room, a blazing fire in front of him. Within the flames, a small Pill Furnace was encased, spinning rapidly.
Changsheng Daoist slowly rose, walked around the fire in front of him, and approached Chen Si. He observed him for a moment, then said with satisfaction, “Not bad, your Cultivation is stable. As expected of a single wood Spiritual Root…”
Chen Si felt a bit embarrassed under his gaze, scratched his head, and said, “It’s all thanks to Master’s nurturing. From now on, Disciple will go through fire and water for any of Master’s commands.”
“Oh? Is that true?” Changsheng Daoist said faintly.
“Absolutely true.” Chen Si nodded solemnly.
“I truly do have something I need your help with,” Changsheng Daoist said, not waiting for Chen Si to speak. “There exists a great Medicinal Pill in this world, capable of seizing the fortune of Heaven and Earth. It requires the assistance of five people with different attributes. I have already gathered four people, and only the last one remains.”
Chen Si’s expression shifted, and he bowed respectfully, saying, “Whatever Master needs me to do, please command. No matter how difficult, Disciple will help you accomplish it.”
“I don’t need you to do anything, just lend me something.” Changsheng Daoist’s expression was unreadable.
“Master, you can take whatever you want,” Chen Si said directly.
He had received too many favors from his Master over the years, so he was naturally happy to help his Master.
“Good, as expected of my most beloved Disciple.” Changsheng Daoist reached out, directly piercing Chen Si’s Dantian, grasping the newly formed Golden Core in his palm, and pulling it out. A large amount of fresh blood splattered from the wound.
Chen Si’s expression stiffened, then turned to one of pain.
“Master… wh-why…” Changsheng Daoist’s actions over the years flashed through his mind, scene by scene.
“The Heaven Deceiving Fortune Pill requires five Golden Cores of five different attributes. You are the last one I have chosen. Once I succeed in Alchemy, I will bury you and your four Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters together. I will come back to offer sacrifices from time to time.”
Changsheng Daoist’s Divine Sense swept, taking off a storage ring from Chen Si’s finger.
There were still many good things he had given him inside, which he naturally had to take back as well.
Immediately, he threw the blood-stained Golden Core in his hand into the Pill Furnace.
Instantly, five-colored auspicious light flickered, truly extraordinary.
Chen Si recalled what his father had told him the last time he went home before leaving.
“There is no good without reason in this world, nor is there hatred without reason… Always be more careful in everything!”
“This is the only fourth-grade Void Realm Talisman in the clan. Find a place on the road to refine it and store it in your Sea of Consciousness. Don’t tell anyone…”
Chen Si lay on the ground, bleeding from his seven orifices, his eyes lifelessly staring at Changsheng Daoist, who had re-seated himself cross-legged.
A flash of inspiration struck his mind, and a trace of clarity returned to his eyes: “My Chen Family members, was it your doing?”
“To allow you to focus on Cultivating, I had no choice but to do so,” Changsheng Daoist said without looking back.
What a ‘no choice but to do so’!
Chen Si closed his eyes tightly, two streams of bloody tears flowing out, and a large amount of blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth.
Losing his Golden Core not only caused him to lose all his Cultivation and shatter his Dao foundation, but even his Spiritual Root was cracking. Soon, his life force would be cut off, and he would perish.
But he was unwilling!
His Divine Sense silently sank into his Sea of Consciousness and activated the Void Realm Talisman.
A streak of escape light enveloped him, soaring into the sky, instantly disappearing into the distance.
Changsheng Daoist looked up, a mocking smile on his lips, and murmured, “With the Heaven Deceiving Fortune Pill, I can Breakthrough to the Early Stage Soul Transformation without needing a Soul Transformation Stage Pill. So what if you escaped? You are nothing but a cripple, why struggle?”
He continuously cast incantations, sending them into the Pill Furnace.
A moment later, a Medicinal Pill shimmering with five-colored auspicious light appeared in mid-air, and a clap of thunder echoed in the sky.
This Medicinal Pill actually attracted the Pill Formation Lightning Tribulation.
Changsheng Daoist smiled, raised his hand, grabbed, and drew the Medicinal Pill, then swallowed it.
…
Chen Si felt himself in a state of weightlessness, then crashed heavily to the ground.
Large mouthfuls of blood spewed from his mouth, and his already injured body became even weaker.
In a daze, a warm current slowly began to repair his damaged body.
He didn't know how much time had passed. After regaining a bit of consciousness, he perceived something new in his Sea of Consciousness—a section of emerald green bamboo.
As soon as his Divine Sense touched this object, lines of text appeared.

“This is… the pendant I bought at a street stall in my previous life?”
“Did it come into this life’s body with my memories from my previous life?”
Perhaps, the Awakening has a lot to do with this pendant!
After a long while, he recovered from his shock. His Divine Sense extended from his Sea of Consciousness and began to scan his body’s condition.
His Spiritual Root, which had almost completely disintegrated, had actually stabilized and stopped disintegrating.
However, all his Cultivation and Dao foundation were completely gone, and his affinity for wood-attribute Spiritual Qi had dropped to rock bottom.
Even if he were to start Cultivating from scratch, his speed would probably only be equivalent to that of a four-Spiritual Root.
His heart sank to the bottom… (Please add to bookshelf)
