Before his father disappeared, he left Lin Yu a mysterious black crystal.
Lin Yu initially thought it was just a mysterious space that could store things.
Until one day, he discovered that the black stone could absorb the corpses of the dead.
"Martial arts talent extracted!"
"Bone-setting talent extracted!"
"Embroidery talent extracted!"
"Spiritual root talent extracted!"
It could even preserve some of the memories of people who had died only recently.
The talents he accumulated could strengthen him, turning a worthless spiritual root into a heavenly-grade one.
But Lin Yu was still just a minor cultivator with a trash five-element spiritual root.
He had to cultivate on his own, refine his own pills, and earn his own spirit stones.
One wrong step could still get him killed.
So Lin Yu hid the black stone and cautiously made his way through the cultivation world, starting as an insignificant nobody whom no one respected.
He didn't provoke people he shouldn't.
If anyone really wanted his life...
Then he would leave no loose ends.
