Hai Yu
At a quiet road, 2 boys were arguing something, one of them, the younger one had a pleading face and the older one had a haughty expression. The younger boy had white hair and red eyes, meanwhile, the older boy had brown hair and black hair. Both of them wear same cloth, meaning that they were from the same Clan.
"No, please, give me back that pill, please . .." Pleaded the 9-year-old child with the red eye and white hair, his name is Hai Yu.
"This Gathering Qi Pill is useless for you, trash. You already eat many pills yet you still only at Qi Gathering Realm Third Stage. What a joke. This pill is better if I consumed it, at least, this pill will not be wasted on you." Sneered the 10-year-old boy while holding a pill in his hand, his name was Hai Yan.
"No, you already at Tempered Body Realm, you don't need this pill. Please, I beg you, don't steal my pill." Cried Hai Yu.
"Steal ? This pill will be wasted on you, you should be grateful to me since I will not waste this pill." Sneered Hai Yan.
"Please, don't do this to me, I need that pill to breakthrough to Fourth Stage of Qi Gathering Realm."
"Shut up." Shouted Hai Yan before he punched Hai Yu face.
"Acch, Hik, please don't" Cried Hai Yu.
Hai Yan hurriedly left Hai Yu, doesn't bother him anymore.
"If only I don't use this way to go home, I won't be robbed by him." Regretted Hai Yu, while he still crying.

Hai Clan Manor
Hai Yu hurriedly went into his room, without ordering his servant to inform his parent that he already in his room.
In his room, he jumped into the bed and cried.
"Why?" Asked Hai Yu.
"Why not only I'm a trash, no one except mother and grandfather love me ?" Asked Hai Yu to himself.
"Why I born with white hair and red eyes ? Why they always call me demon child ?" Cried Hai Yu
"Why my talent on Cultivating also bad , why ?"

An hour later.
After Hai Yu tired of crying, Hai Yu sat cross-legged. After calming his mind, he slow down his breath and closed his eye. Hai Yu tried to meditate.
Near Hai Yu, the Qi amount gradually decreased, because they were sucked by Hai Yu like a whirlpool.
The Qi circulated to this entire body before suddenly stopped in his heart, and a strange thing happening. Hai Yu's heart greedily sucking the Qi. Most of the Qi that Hai Yu gathered were sucked by Hai Yu's heart. After greedily absorbing the Qi, only small leftover left , the leftover Qi finally entered Hai Yu dantian. The process keeps repeating for an hour.
After a few minutes, Hai Yu finally opened his eye. But Hai Yu knew that his dantian still not full, he still need to meditate more, but he can't. Usually, someone who still at Qi Gathering Realm only need 30 minutes to fill their dantian. When their dantian full, it will naturally enlarge. But, when the dantian can't enlarge anymore, the dantian will transform, so it can store more Qi and enlarge again. The transformation can be known as a 'breakthrough' to next stage. If someone breakthrough to next realm, their entire body will transform. This process keeps repeating to anyone who embarks on a journey of Martial Dao.
It only needs around 30 minutes - 1 hour for most people with average talent to fully fill their dantian when they still at Qi Gathering Realm. That why Qi Gathering Realm is the easiest realm that any cultivator experience, even someone with average talent can break through into Core Creation Realm after a year, with only cultivating or meditating for 1 hour every day.
One cannot meditate for a long time because not only they will harm their mind, but it also harming their body and soul, especially when they still young.
"Sigh, why I really slow at cultivating." Asked Hai Yu into himself.
Hai Yu can't see his inner body, because of it, he doesn't know that the Qi that he absorb from the surrounding and entered on his dantian are only leftover.
"Why this always happ .... " Sighed Hai Yu.
Suddenly Hai Yu body trembled, Hai Yu feel like his mind suddenly crumbled, he lost control of his body and finally , he fainted. On his mind, countless image appear, the image looked like a memory, a memory of someone. Hai Yu's mind greedily absorb the memory.
After Hai Yu woke up, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. He crazily asked himself.
"What is this ? Who am I? Hai Yu ? NO, Jiang Li ?"
"Who am I?"
Hai Yu then sat cross-legged in his bed, tried to comprehend the memories that entered his mind.
In a big room with many beautiful decorations and painting surround it, a woman currently sitting on the wooden sofa. The door knocked, the woman frowned for a moment then shouted, "You may enter !"
"Yes." Replied someone from the outside of the room. The door opened, a middle-aged man hurriedly bowed to the woman and said, " This servant reporting that Young Master Yu already arrived at this Hai Manor. He already in his room"
"Eh, Little Yu already back ?" Asked a woman to her servant, who already old and currently bowing into her.
"Yes, this servant saw that Young Hai entered his room 2 hours ago. "
"2 hours ago ? Why are you reporting this 2 hour late ?"
"This servant asked a forgiveness, this servant late because the gate at the South of Hai Manor are broken. Since the young servant can't fix it, I need personally to fix it and because of that I forgot to report this matter. Please, punish this servant, master. "
"Broken ? Forget it" Sighed the woman.
"Finally, he gave up running from home, as usual. But, it still only 3 days . . . . . , did something happen to him ?" Thought the woman, whom Hai Yu's mother, Hai Lin.
"Hurry call him !" Ordered Hai Lin.
"This servant shall obey." Answered the servant.
After paying respect to his master, the servant exit the room and head into Hai Yu's room. The manor was really big, and he already old, the servant need to walk about 1 hour before he almost arrived at Hai Yu's room.
When the servant wanted to knock the door suddenly a voice enter into his ear. Instantly, his face showed terrified expression, he hurriedly ran back to his master room. If someone saw what happened, they will shocked, because an old man running at really fast pace and his face revealed fear. His head even became blue, because either fear or lack of oxygen. When he almost reached his master room, he stopped running, tried to control his breath. After calming his mind , he entered the room to report to his master.
"Little Yu is on the verge of a breakthrough ?" Confirming Hai Lin to his servant.
"Yes, when knocked the door, there was no answer, so I tried to open it little, I saw Young Master Yu sitting on his bed, meditating. Since I sensed Qi fluctuation, this servant deducts that Young Master Yu almost reached a breakthrough" Lied the servant.
Hai Lin trusted the servant since he never lies to anyone.
"Bring him the food in front of his room ! Don't disturb him until he came out from his room ! Relay this order to other servants." Ordered Hai Lin.
"This servant shall obey." Said the servant before bowing, and left the room.

7 days later.
"I see, so this is what actually happen ?" Said Hai Yu.
Hai Yu, in 7 days, he stayed in his room, without even once go out. If he starved, he just needs to open the door and grab the food.
"I'm Hai Yu, but I also Jiang Li. How strange, I get my old memory back, but why when I recalled it, it seems like it's not my memory ?"
"And if I tried to recalling my previous martial experience, my head always dizzy, no matter how I tried to endure the pain, eventually I always fainted. How strange." Thought Hai Yu.
"No . . . . maybe all of this were wrong. Was this really my previous life memory ? But that Jiang Li ate that pill, so he should reincarnate right ? Since Jiang Li's memory suddenly entered my mind, then I'm Jiang Li's reincarnation ? But that Poy on Jiang Li memory said that he will regain his memory after 5 - 7 years, but I'm already 9 years so . . . maybe that Jiang Li met a mishap and suddenly his memory entered my mind ?"
"Yeah, maybe right that. Ahahhahahahaha with this Jiang Li's memory, I finally can be strong."
"I'm really lucky." Laughed Hai Yu
When Hai Yu is laughing about his luck suddenly his heart beat loudly. Hai Yu felt a pain from his chest. Hai Yu tried to close his eye and tried a technique on Jiang Li's memory. Even If Hai Yu didn't have any experience in using it, but the technique actually really simple and profound, resulting almost anyone can try it at the first time as long they understand the technique. As long someone already reached Qi Gathering Realm, anyone can do it.
"Internal Body Eye." Said Hai Yu slowly.
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
Hai Yu only must close his eye, and focused his spiritual sense. Since Hai Yu still at the Third Stage of Qi Gathering Realm, his spiritual sense still small, but it already enough to see what happened on his chest. When he saw his lung and heart, he surprised.
"Wait, this kind of disgusting flesh, really inside my body ? So Jiang Li's memories about the human body were not wrong . . . ." Pounder Hai Yu.
"Auch." Hai Yu suddenly felt sharp pain from his heart, using his Internal Body Eye, he can see that when he felt the pain, the heart suddenly beating at a fast pace.
Hai Yu inject all of his spiritual sense into his heart. Since all his spritual sense concreted into a small place, he can see myscropotic object clearer. When he saw how his blood looks like, he shocked again.
"Turn out my blood is a group of that 'thin red ball' thing, disgusting. But, why there is no this kind information in Jiang Li's memories ?"
When Hai Yu tried to check the bottom part of his heart, accidently he saw a black stone.
*Bang!!*
Hai Yu's mind shaken, he already used his spiritual sense for a long time, because of that, the Internal Body Eye forcefully ended, or else his mind will receive an injury. Hai Yu opened his eye, with a look of disbelief and suprise, he mumbled, " That black stone . . ."
"No, Impossible . Doesn't this meant that I really 'Jiang Li' reincernation ?"
After pondering for an hour, he finally decided something that important that will determine his fate on Martial Path.
"I don't care who were I am, it's the past. Now matter what, whatever I really his reincarnation or not, now, I'm Hai Yu, not Jiang Li again. His goal . . . . is not mine. Why I must chase girl ? I will become strong to prove father that he actually wrong, with Jiang Li's knowledge . . . . I will prove anyone that called me trash and demon child were wrong !" Promised Hai Yu to himself.
"Oh yeah, Jiang Li had a spatial ring, right ?" Thought Hai Yu.
Hai Yu tried to imagine Jiang Li's white ring, suddenly a white ring appeared in front of him. Hai Yu hurriedly caught the ring before the ring fell.
"Even Jiang Li didn't know about the stone function aside storage." Sighed Hai Yu.
Hai Yu then insert his spiritual sense into the spatial ring, his mind already rested for awhile, he can use his spiritual sense once again. Inside the ring, he can see mountains of scroll, pill and many other things.
"Sadly , Jiang Li doesn't store any of his weapon or armor in his ring." Sighed Hai Yu.
Hai Yu's spritual sense then exited the ring, since the ring is too big and Hai Yu cultivation realm is too small, he can only inspect the ring for a limited time, but since he has Jiang Li's memories, naturally he know what inside the ring.
Hai Yu then tried to comprehend Yin Yang Mantra,
"What ? I must achieved large sucess before I can chompremend the next legacy. That poy . . . . ."
"Must not greedy, I already get many things, why bother thing that I will get in future ?"
1 Days Later.
"This Yin Yang Mantra . . . . obiviously thousand times . . . no, million better than that Jiang Li's Heaven Mantra. Sadly, this Yin Yang mantra only cultivates soul, I still didn't need to breakthrough into Core Creation, my foundation is too weak, what I need now is a better body and talent .. "
"Better talent ? Wait, Jiang Li has 'that', right ?"
Hai Yu then takes a rainbow pill from the mountains of the pill. After taking the rainbow pill, he will the mountains, suddenly the mountains split into many small mountains, each mountain contains the same kind of pill with the same quality.
"This pill is Rebirth Purification Pill, right ? Old self, I hope your memory is not wrong."
Hai Yu eat the pill without hesitant. Nothing happend, suddenly Hai Yu spiritual root trembled, and turned it color turned from black to gray."
Hai Yu vomited blood from his mouth. A pain emerged on Hai Yu's spiritual root. He tried to endure the pain, by biting his lip. Then Hai Yu Dantian crumbled, some Qi that he stored for few years escaped from his body. His cultivation realm dropped into Qi Gathering Realm Second Stage.
The spirit color still chaging, the blackness slowly fades away. After one hour Hai Yu enduring the pain, at last, Hai Yu spirit root became pure white.
After Hai Yu's spiritual root changing color, Hai Yu vomited black blood.
"Really, a great pill. "
Sadly when one consume this pill, no matter what his cultivation realm, he will back into the first stage of Qi Gathering Realm, but it paid off. It was one of many pills that Jiang Li found in the ancient ruin. After studying alchemy, he already knew the effect, but since the price is too great, he doesn't dare to consume it.
"With my pure white spirit root, even if only one spirit root, the lowest talent of cultivator, but my Qi will purer from another. Quality beats Quantity. And I have many pills inside Jiang Li's ring, how can my speed lose to that genius with 5 spiritual roots, or more ?" Thought Hai Yu happily
Spiritual Root divided into two, Main Spiritual root who every person have and Secondary Spiritual Root that located on bottom part of Main root. A person Innate Talent is measured by how many Secondary Spiritual Root they have, the more they have, the Qi they gather, the faster they breakthrough. That why how many Spiritual Root you have can lead to different cultivation Speed. Someone with no secondary spiritual root measured as Rank 1 Innate Talent, same as Hai Yu. Someone with only one secondary spiritual root, measured as Rank 2 Innate Talent, and so on.
One spirit Root diffrence, even in only a few months, can lead into a diffrent realm between two people. But most cultivator spirit root color is black, every time they breaktrough, some of it impurity or blackness will be purified, becoming white. But no matter what realm you achieved, even Jiang Li in the past didn't have pure white spirit root. The less impurty spirit root they have, the better Qi that the body refine.
"Wait, my dantian crumbled ?" Yelled Hai Yu after realizing that he can't store his Qi.
Hai Yu mind instantly frozed, he panicked because if he didn't solve this problem, he can't cultivate. After thinking for a long time, Hai Yu realized that on Jiang Li's ring, there still a pill that he got from the Ancient Ruin. Suddenly a white pill emerged from the Jiang Li's ring, after inspecting the pill,
"Based on Jiang Li's memory, this pill must be 'Adaptive Body Pill' ? Based on Jiang Li analyzation, anyone who ate this pill, with the price of his cultivation realm will be dropped into Qi Gathering Realm, his body will become one of Supreme Body, Adaptive Body." muttered Hai Yu.
Adaptive Body, based on Jiang Li's previous world was one of low ranked Supreme Body. Even if it low ranked, it potentials was unmatched, it have 2 ability, absolute adaptation and absolute regeneration
"With this Adaptive Body, I can recover my Dantian. Not only that, I also gain a Supreme Body. Even if it low-rank Supreme Body, it potential is matchless compared to other Supreme Body, it can be upgraded into Top Grade"
Without hesitation, Hai Yu ate the pill, since he still a child, he doesn't think that the pill dangerous, because based on Jiang Li memory, the price is only his Cultivation Realm, since he still only Qi Gathering, he lose nothing. Hai Yu didn't think rationally because his happiness leads him to forgot one thing, something great always come with a price.
After enough time to burn an incense stick, Hai Yu eyes suddenly flickered, from Hai Yu mouth, flow many drops of blood. Even after 10 seconds, he started vomitted, he still didn't stop vomiting blood. On his body, his organ is ruptured, all of his bone is cracking, his muscle exploded. His whole body is covered with sweat and blood. His red eye became redder, almost the same color as blood. Weirdly nothing happend on his white hair, none of them even fall.
Not only his hair, his heart was also safe, even if almost all of his vein on his body disreionted, the heart still safe. On his heart, the mystical stone keep shaking, keeping Hai Yu's heart unharmed. Hai Yu felt a bottomless pain, but he can't sceam because his vocal organ already destroyed, he can only scream weird sound.
'Clark , kkaaa Aaah." Screamed Hai Yu with a cracked voice.
Because he can't bear the pain, Hai Yu almost lost his conscious. But he tried to endure it because absolute adaptation ability is as long you preserve, your body will adapt, and now his body is trying to adapt. Qi that stored on his broken dantian flowed to his entire body, tried to helping regenerate. Hai Yu cultivation realm decreased into Qi Gathering First Stage.
When the last will to stay conscious of Hai Yu almost gone, the mystical stone suddenly shook, suddenly a voice echoed in Hai Yu's ears.
"Stupid." Said the voice before Hai Yu fainted.
