Eternal Life as False Emperor

Inside Spirit Pool B-7.

Nanny Wang looked worriedly at Zheng Yi lying on the bed.

"Doctor Zhang, how is Zheng Yi?"

The gray-haired doctor shook his head, withdrew his hand from feeling the pulse, and said, "This child's constitution is too weak. This is the third time this month, right?"

"Last time he caught a fever from accidentally falling into the water, and after finally recovering, he caught a cold and fainted from overnight cultivation."

"I just took his pulse and found his breath extremely weak, it could possibly turn into consumption."

"Consumption?!"

Nanny Wang's face changed dramatically: "But that's contagious!"

"Indeed."

The doctor shook his head, with a slight look of fear on his face as well.

"Nanny Wang, if it really doesn't work out, just send him out of the Spirit Pool."

"Maybe for him, it will also be a relief."

"No way!"

Nanny Wang shook her head and said, "Zheng Yi has a talent for cultivation, his Spirit Root has awakened. There are currently only over thirty children with cultivation talent in Spirit Pool B-7. We cannot abandon Zheng Yi unless absolutely necessary."

"Alright then..."

The doctor shook his head and said, "I'll prescribe some medicine for him first. Let him drink it and see how it goes."

"If he improves, then all is well. If not, Nanny Wang, you should prepare early."

"I understand."

The three-year-old Zheng Yi opened his weak eyes, watching Nanny Wang and the doctor leave.

It's been three years since reincarnating into this world.

Just like in his previous life, he perceived Qi Sensitivity when he was three years old and was designated a birth date.

But his constitution was extremely weak.

He often had minor illnesses every ten days and major illnesses once a month.

He had suffered from colds, fevers, headaches, gum bleeding, and chest pains.

If not for Nanny Wang's careful care and the abundant spiritual qi in the Spirit Pool, he would have perished long ago.

He knew very well that the cause of all this was the early onset aging Life Chart!

Early onset aging.

Your body is extremely weak before the age of ten, significantly increasing the likelihood of death from illness, falls, and other accidents.

But he didn't mind. Anyway, the purpose of entering the Spirit Pool this time was to explore why there were so many children with Spirit Roots here!

"It's truly worthy of an early onset aging talent, to keep falling ill within the Spirit Pool, this is a first!"

Zheng Yi murmured, beginning to examine the surrounding environment.

"Little Yi'er..."

Nanny Wang returned, looking at Zheng Yi, who was already three years old but significantly smaller than the other children, gently touching his forehead.

"Don't worry, little Yi'er, you will definitely recover!"

"Nanny will take good care of you and ensure you grow up safely."

After drinking the medicine and under Nanny Wang's careful care, Zheng Yi fell into a deep sleep.

Four years old.

During one cultivation session, Zheng Yi experienced heart pain, his body paralyzed and unconscious.

The doctor claimed Zheng Yi was beyond saving, but three days later, Zheng Yi woke up with an even weaker constitution.

By this time, the entire Spirit Pool was looking at him with a mix of curiosity and doubt.

Seizing a moment of rest, Zheng Yi found their 'Master' who was teaching them the "Spirit Eating Technique".

Or rather, the best scholar.

"Master, why is my body so weak?"

The scholar replied, "I am not sure either. Normally, since your Spirit Root has already awakened, living in a place as rich in spiritual qi as the Spirit Pool should not only ensure longevity but also make you strong and healthy."

"But why is your constitution so bad, catching a cold with just a breeze? Strange, strange..."

This was exactly what Zheng Yi was waiting for, he quizzically asked, "Master, what is a Spirit Root?"

"Is there a root of a big tree inside me?"

"Hahaha..."

The scholar laughed heartily, "Of course not. What we call a Spirit Root is a special constitution. You can also think of it as a special seed within you that, nourished by spiritual qi, continues to grow, sprout, and eventually blossom and bear fruit."

"These seeds, once sprouted, are called Spirit Roots."

"There are some seeds, however, that because of certain reasons can't sprout, and they remain ordinary people their entire lives."

The scholar ruffled Zheng Yi's hair and said, "It seems like the seed within you has some issues."

"That's why you're weak and sickly at such a young age, bedridden, truly a pity."

"A seed?"

Zheng Yi muttered, then asked, "Master, do you know where this seed came from?"

The scholar's expression changed slightly, and he quickly covered Zheng Yi's little mouth: "Little Yi'er, these words from the Master are just a metaphor, they're not real seeds, do you understand?"

Seeing the scholar's nervous face, Zheng Yi pretended to know nothing and nodded blankly, "Okay, Master, I understand."

"You should rest more."

The scholar stood up and said, "I will go check on the other children. Don't forget to practice the 'Spirit Eating Technique'.

"Okay, Master."

Watching the staggering steps of the departing scholar, Zheng Yi covered his head with a blanket and murmured, "A seed?"

"Do we all have seeds inside us?"

Five years old.

While practicing martial arts, Zheng Yi experienced paralysis again, foaming at the mouth and falling unconscious.

The doctor even issued a final ultimatum.

Seven days later, Zheng Yi woke again, now with residual symptoms of headaches, dizziness, and fainting spells.

This child, his constitution has grown even weaker.

But even so, many of his friends have remained by his side and often come to see him.

For example, friends like Cao'er, Hua'er, often bring him hidden food to eat.

Six years old.

Again, while practicing martial arts, he fainted inexplicably, and the doctor couldn't diagnose any illness.

The only guess was that maybe Zheng Yi's constitution wasn't suited to the spiritual qi-rich environment of the Spirit Pool.

Half a month later, Zheng Yi awoke.

With such a weak constitution, even cultivating the 'Spirit Eating Technique' was challenging, so how could he practice such vigorous Martial Dao techniques?
