Reincarnated into World of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths

Continuous explosions echoed out from his body as his meridians opened up one by one . Every time a meridian channel was opened, intense pain would wrack his body .

When all his meridians were finally opened, Long Chen almost fainted into a coma . He had to rest for two full hours before he slowly revived himself.

With the pain now past him, Long Chen felt that the pores from his toes to his head were all open, and with every single breath he took, he absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"Excellent my memories of the Pill God is real. Now even with out Spirit Roots, I can finally practice cultivation as my meridians have opened. "

Long Chen sensed his body's condition . With his meridians opened he could absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth through his pores in order to nourish his body to become stronger. 

Just as Long Chen was cherishing his moment after being able to cultivate another fragment of memories related to Pill God comes to his mind about 'Fengfu Star Pill' which states the medicinal ingredients and process of formation which even for his memory of Shen Long feels familiar. As Long Chen was thinking about this sense of unusual familiarity, another memory comes to his mind and more than any memory it is more about a cultivation technique and the moment the name of the technique appears in his mind Long Chen couldn't help but waver in shock. The technique was 'Nine Star Hegemon Body Art' which reminded him of the very novel with the same title as this technique which was his most favourite novel of his childhood days. Never had he thought he would reincarnate into the world of "Nine Heavens and Ten Earths" as the main character. A novel which he had almost completely forgotten about due to his busy and bustling life in his previous life has now become his new world filling him with a feeling of wonder and unbelievable joy. He could now confirm the memories and the owners of them and his past's old identity as well as his present's new identity.

After that from the 'Nine Star Hegemon Body Art' Long Chen started to get out the details of Fengfu star as fast as possible because he wanted to grow stronger than what Long Chen was so that he can prevent all the sad tragedies that had occurred in the original Novel he had read.

According to original novel, Long Chen should have gained memory at age of 15 after being beaten to death by Li Hao as well as the condition of their family should have been poor however, not only was Shen Long reincarnated into the thirteen years old Long Chen, he also came at the very time when the Long household still had lots of money because the emperor is alive and active.

"I should first get all medicinal ingredients at first," Long Chen muttered to himself. To get to the task of collecting materials for Fengfu star pill as without condensing Fengfu Star in the Yong Quan Point on the right foot, Long Chen won't be able to truly step in cultivation realm. Switching clothes, he left his room and headed to meet his mother. At this time, it was already past noon, but there were expectedly few people to be seen in his huge noble estate, making it seem like an extremely desolate place for the time being. He greeted his mother, asking for her well being while she too asked how Long Chen was feeling.

"Mother, I need some gold coins to buy medicinal ingredients for my cultivation," Long Chen said, his tone respectful yet resolute.

His mother looked up as concern was etched in her features. Her eyes reflected worry as she yelled at him, "Chen'er, now way I am allowing it. Have you already forgotten what had happened to you. Cultivation is not just difficult; it is perilous. I fear for your safety," she said softly, her voice trembling slightly.

Long Chen met her gaze, his determination unwavering. "Mother, I understand your concern, and I appreciate it more than I can express. But I have to do this. I need to grow stronger to protect our family and prevent the tragedies I foresee," he explained, his voice filled with conviction and before she would stop him by saying anything else he used energy from the world entering his meridians and punched the wooden wall breaking it apart looking at which she and Bao'er both felt shocked.

His mother sighed deeply, getting out of shock a mixture of emotions, pride and fear, started to get evident in her heart being looking at Long Chen's unwavering and unyielding look she gave up saying, "You've always been so brave, Chen'er. I knew you had a strong heart, a will to prove to others disdain on you as false, a will that forged within you allowing you to take that serious step but I can't believe that you succeeded which was deemed even impossible for those monstrous genius and talents of the world. If you truly believe this is the right path, then I will support you. Here are the coins you need," she said, handing him a pouch of gold coins. "Please, promise me you'll be careful and come back to me safe."

Long Chen smiled warmly, taking her hands in his. "I promise, Mother. I will be cautious and come back to you. Thank you for always believing in me," he replied, feeling a deep sense of gratitude and love.

She stroked his cheek gently, tears glistening in her eyes. "You've grown so much, my son. I see a future leader in you. Go, fulfil your destiny, and remember, no matter where your path leads, I will always be here for you," she said, her voice filled with pride and a hint of sadness.

"Thank you, Mother. Your support means everything to me," Long Chen said, his voice choked with emotion. He felt fortified by her unwavering belief in him.

Her eyes shone with a mixture of hope and concern. "Be safe, my son. The world is vast and dangerous, but I know you have the strength to overcome any challenge," she said, hugging him tightly.

With a final embrace, Long Chen felt a surge of determination and love. "I will make you proud, Mother. I will return stronger and ensure our family's safety," he promised, his voice filled with resolve.

As he left the room, he felt her eyes on him, a silent prayer for his safety and success. Her love and belief in him were his greatest strengths, and he was determined to honour that by becoming the cultivator and protector she believed he could be.

Long Chen's father was the Border Suppression Marquis, Zhengyuan Hou, and now was currently gone to the wild border. Although they had the position of a noble family, but compared to when Long Tianxiao was present in the city, Long Chen and his mother had had to suffer many condescending gazes from everyone in the imperial capital over the past few years and it was basically because of Long Chen's inability of practicing martial arts, making him someone that everyone would sneer at.

Long Tianxiao was the Phoenix Cry Empire's military god of this generation, whereas Long Chen was a trash who couldn't even enter Qi Condensing Realm. It was impossible to prevent people from feeling that this tiger father had had a dog of a son. Countless people would jeer at him, but Long Chen wouldn't care. 

Along the road there were quite a few people, and when they recognized Long Chen, they couldn't help put to point him out behind his back; however Long Chen was already used to this but still moved with faster pace because he felt gloomy at those gazes.

But at the same time, he bitterly smiled inside. His own father had suppressed the entire wild border, which was an amazing meritorious deed that protected the entire empire but for what? Those condemning stare?

Leaving his noble estate, Long Chen went directly to the imperial capital's Hundred Herb Market. That was the place where all kinds of precious medicinal ingredients were sold. Right now, what he needed to do was to get an understanding of the medicinal herbs' market situation.

He still had time for growth but as he walked he thought of multiple assessments and ways to grow strong without being noticed for which he had already made plan as having support of some 'Pills' which can actually 'hide' someone's cultivation aura and realm at the stage before reaching the 7th Heaventhstage of Qi Condensing Realm and as it was only a 1st-Tier Pill, it can be said to be highly effective but for that he needs to enhance his own spiritual strength twice as strong as it was now and also Strength his Pill Flame to a stronger, condensed and stable state.

Entering into the Hundred Herb Market, Long Chen approached the receptionist at the Hundred Herb Market with a determined look. "Excuse me, I need to buy some medicinal herbs. Can you assist me?" he asked politely requesting a catalogue of their medicinal ingredients. 

The receptionist, a middle-aged beautiful woman with a kind face, smiled warmly. "Of course, young master. What exactly are you looking for?" handing him the catalogue. In the catalogue there were very clear recordings of the various medicinal ingredients' names and prices . Long Chen saw the majority of the medicinal ingredients required to refine the Fengfu Pill . It was quite lucky that the medicinal ingredients for the Fengfu pill were not especially uncommon.

"I need the following ingredients.", Long Chen listed confidently, maintaining eye contact.

The receptionist's eyes widened slightly, clearly impressed by the extensive list. "That's quite a comprehensive order. Are you sure you need all these ingredients? The total cost will be substantial."

Long Chen nodded. "I understand, but I plan to buy in bulk. Can we negotiate a discount?" he asked, his tone firm yet respectful.

"How much are you planning to buy?" the receptionist inquired, intrigued by Long Chen's composure and determination.

"I need enough for about 100 batches," Long Chen stated, his voice unwavering.

The receptionist's surprise grew. "That's a significant quantity. May I ask why you need so much?"

Long Chen leaned in slightly, lowering his voice. "I have a crucial project related to my cultivation journey as I wish to enter the path of Pill cultivator and even being a pill apprentice will suffice to imperative for my progress."

The receptionist, sensing the seriousness in Long Chen's tone, nodded thoughtfully. "I see. Well, for such a large purchase, I can offer you a 10% discount."

Long Chen shook his head, maintaining his composed demeanor. "Please make it 20%. I'm also purchasing a quality cauldron."

The receptionist pondered for a moment, clearly impressed by Long Chen's negotiation skills and determination. "You drive a hard bargain, young master. But considering the size of your order, I can agree to a 20% discount. Let me gather the items for you."

"Thank you," Long Chen replied, feeling a sense of accomplishment. As he waited, he observed the bustling market, knowing that every decision he made now would shape his future. He was determined to forge a path of strength and honor, just like his father.

As the receptionist gathered the items, he chatted with Long Chen. "You know, young master, it's rare to see someone your age so focused and determined. Most young nobles don't take their cultivation so seriously."

Long Chen thanked the receptionist once more for the help and the praise, his resolve even stronger. He left the market, his mind filled with plans for the future.

Shen Long had spent all total of 30000 gold coins for all the medicinal materials for Fengfu Star Pill, for Body Tempering Pill(Tier 1 pill fir strengthening body by tempering process), for Recovery Pill(Tier-1 Pill for fast recovery from pain and injuries), Qi Gathering Pill (For cultivation purpose at Qi Condensing Realm) and for 'Concealing Pill' to hide his cultivation Aura and Realm later on.

And as the medicinal ingredients for the Fengfu Star Pill were not especially uncommon, he bought amount that was for about 100 batch of Fengfu Star Pills.

Also he bought a good quality cauldron of 5000 gold coins and wood worth 100 gold coins so that he could support for firewood along which a basic set of saber arts from city's Thousand Martial Hall for practice as he knew the fate with that one weapon which he will be wielding in the future and wanted to be capable to wield it. He also bought some sabers, wooden and metal both and they were extremely heavy as well. 

He also brought some body weights weighing 10, 20 and 30 kg each and that for each limb as well and ones for stomach too. He knew that his current body was too weak to perform any martial arts so, he had to train himself.

Why was he spending on basic Martial Arts? It was because for 'Shen Long' in the entire story other than Long Chen only a few were favourite in term of combat of which one was Long Chen's future Legion's strongest after him who was a Sword Cultivator. However one thing that made Long Chen weaker initially unable to use 'that' special technique that he had found here which became one of his strongest technique throughout the world is because he only used his physical body but lacked the essence of Saber Dao.

So not to repeat that mistake and injure his body early, Long Chen wishes to master Saber basics as soon as possible to awaken 'Saber Will' and enter the 'Saber Dao' which is indeed possible as Long Chen is originally a person gifted in learning any technique faster and that is not a matter of exaggeration but fact that had been proved in later stages of story which is why before completing the Fengfu Star and it's divine ring, Long Chen actually wishes to awaken Saber Intent to prepare for true awakening of Nine Star Hegemon Body Art unlike Long Chen in original story who held back for fear of not being able to return back if any grave step was taken while also not be affected, manipulated by the will of the technique.

As multiple thoughts rummaged through his mind on his way to home, he saw some poor and homeless people suffering in the streets and seeing them he felt sad seeing them suffer trying to survive which is why he spent his remaining 2000-3000 gold coins to buy and provide them with some food, simple and good enough clothes as well as pillows and blankets, as the season was of Cold, for about total of 100 or so people. As doing so he was blessed as well as thanked by them while he also passed his day.

After having done something good Long Chen felt good and returned home while some people from the Alchemist association brought the ingredients that Long Chen had bought.

While preparing for making pill, Long Chen also devised plans for his training and cultivation as well as to save the family from destruction and poverty.

Long Chen was determined so after talking to his mom sharing about how his day went by and how he spent his 40000 gold coins and him helping other people. He also talked with her for helping the people suffering in city by making a farm where they can work and live in comfortably and proudly to which his mother complies though being in astonishment and pride of her son's mature actions of trying to improve himself and help others.

After having dinner and biding others a sweet good night, he headed to his room and laid on bed for some rest and after resting for a few minutes a short time he started to work on making pills. Firmly locking the door, he ordered Bao-er to tell everyone that he must not be disturbed.
