"My name is Luo Wen, and I'm the youngest son of the Luo family."
"The Luo family at that time was just a small aristocratic family in the human world. It was not until the appearance of me, the gifted inner elixir, that the family was given hope of revitalization."
"But……"
Luo Wen paused, and a hint of sarcasm slowly appeared on his face, but his voice was still extremely calm, as if what he was talking about had nothing to do with him.
"However, my body is inherently weak, and I am completely unable to utilize my inner elixir for cultivation. Therefore, I am destined to be abandoned by my family. However, those born with inner elixir are rare, and I am the only one in my family in hundreds of years. Although they are helpless, they have no choice but to place all their hopes on me, a patient."
"My family paid a huge price to raise me. We had countless spiritual practitioners, elixirs, and alchemists, but they couldn't stop my body from gradually deteriorating. It got worse day by day, and it seemed like there was no hope for the family to revive. This continued until I was 12 years old, when the family finally decided to take a gamble."
Luo Wen stopped talking, and the story came to an abrupt end. Su Yin's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he asked in a trembling voice, "What... are they going to do...?"
"They?" Luo Wen's eyes flashed with a hint of ridicule.
"They decided to dig out my inner elixir and give it to my brother who has the same mother and father as me."
"Dig him out?!" Su Yin's eyes widened instantly, she was extremely shocked. She had never imagined that his family, his parents, would treat him like this. He was just a teenager at the time...
She had indeed heard of the punishment of digging out the inner elixir before, and had even been frightened by Master Rong Hua in the same way, and she had been terrified at the time, but she had never seen it with her own eyes. Could a cultivator whose inner elixir was dug out survive...? Even if they survived, what would happen...
Luo Wen remained unfazed by Su Yin's shock and continued, "This method can transfer the inner elixir in my body to another person's, but the chances of success are extremely small, and the possibility of two lives being lost is very high. However, they succeeded, and even though I was weak at the time, I miraculously survived after transferring the inner elixir."
"And the brother who successfully transferred my inner elixir has been gifted since childhood. After obtaining my inner elixir, he became even more powerful. Within a few days, he became a great sage and successfully led the Luo family into the demon world. The family is becoming increasingly prominent."
"And I, a useless person who had lost my inner elixir, should have died in the process of transitioning to the inner elixir, but I unexpectedly survived and continued to live on at the lowest level of the family until my brother, who had received my inner elixir, could no longer tolerate my existence and threw me out..."
"Threw it out...? Then your parents, they didn't..." stop it?
Su Yin, halfway through her words, looked at Luo Wen's cold expression and couldn't speak anymore. Yes, she was naive. Since his parents and his clan had accepted the absurd practice of exchanging inner cores, why would they care about his life or death? Not to mention, she would offend his brother, who could bring prosperity to their family, for the sake of a family outcast.
So, what about him... ?
She couldn't imagine how a child could survive in such an environment.
