I woke up again in the body of a newborn, instantly taking control, starting to warm up my left arm and right leg.
This was necessary to bring the growth of the body to a high level.
The tension of the limbs serves as excellent practice for their development in such a weak state. I develop only two limbs before going to bed in order to increase the effectiveness of the training and at the same time not to overload the body.
This was far from my first reincarnation, so everything happened automatically, slowly. In adolescence, the most important thing is patience.
By four months, I could already actively move on all fours, allowing me to actively use my torso.
By this time, my vision had stabilized, but this did not mean that I could see much or understand what I heard, because the body still had an undeveloped brain. All this was possible thanks to the spiritual imprint that I was able to leave on the soul in one of my early lives, setting goals before the brain was transformed, when it could withstand the load of the main consciousness.
After one year and three months, my soul finally fully awakened.
I immediately felt a burning pain in my head, redirecting part of my thoughts to the backup stream in my soul.
But even after that, the pain did not go away, which indicated that the cause was elsewhere.
Having assessed my body with a feeling of weakness and heat, I found a discrepancy to consider it a common cold.
There is a fever, but the body does not secrete sweat and snot does not come out of the nose. The final nail in the lid was a numb tingling in the mouth and throat.
"This is poison."
Due to the underdevelopment of my senses, including smell and taste, I will not be able to disassemble its components, but I can judge its purpose based on the symptoms and sensations after taking it.
Considering its weak concentration, it can be said that they did not try to kill me.
The following days helped me to lift the veil of secrecy.
In this life, I was incredibly lucky to be born into a rich and perhaps even noble family.
"Apparently, I will be removed from the candidates for heir."
I came to this conclusion when I saw a pregnant red-haired woman next to my father, when my mother carried me to him.
It was not very difficult to recognize my mother. The emotions and instincts that manifested themselves when I saw her, and my own reflection in the bathing water, where I was able to find a slight resemblance between her and myself.
Obviously, it can be assumed that they are weakening me so that I have less strength and, accordingly, influence among the clan members.
The poison not only weakened the body, impairing its development, but also affected the energy channels, polluting and narrowing them, which could lead to their blockage and deprivation of the possibility of cultivation.
It is not difficult to imagine my own future in the world of power without a chance to cultivate, because I have been in similar situations myself and have seen even more of the same.
"I did not want to do this so early, but it seems that nothing can be done."
Relaxing my body, I began to form the dantian. With many years of experience, I no longer need to meditate in a certain posture. Although I would prefer to sit down out of habit, but attracting attention now would be burdensome.
"Who would have thought that I would be able to immediately apply the techniques I received from my past life."
After finding out the time and waiting for the powerful experts to leave, I broke into the palace in the Upper World and carried out a massacre, along the way interrogating and robbing knowledge from the feeble young members of the noble clans.
The old man who went after me was nothing more than a lowly servant, whom I could easily defeat in 20 exchanges of blows.
I could easily hide from all the mediocre cultivators, but I knew that I would not be able to withstand the revenge of the top experts from the high realms.
That was the whole point of this show, to lower the vigilance of the hidden experts. Although I really hoped to truly die, going to reincarnation with a pure consciousness after burning my own soul.
If before my soul was a huge rock after many reincarnations and hardships, now it resembles a small bead created by folding a leaf.
Now it was only ten times stronger than an ordinary person, promising a long period of recovery if I did not begin its reclamation.
For my main cultivation technique, I chose the highest level and balanced one among others - Heart of the Star Sea - which had a slight predisposition to fire.
More than half of the stages are aimed at laying the foundation, and the most laborious and important part is igniting the accumulated sea of Qi. After that, the power and intensity of energy will increase many times over, and cultivation will begin to develop by leaps and bounds.
But that is still a long way off. Now I had to absorb the energy of the moon, which was not difficult for now. If I delayed my choice and began to show signs of illness, I could be fenced off from the window due to the negative influence of the Yin energy emitted by the moonlight.
Absorbing particles of light reflected by the moon into my room, I began to gently conduct it throughout my body, feeding the whole body with additional energy, not just energy channels.
Thanks to this, not only does the health of the body improve, but the overall potential of the physique increases.
The earlier you start, the better the result. Although most people start at 6-7 years old in eminent clans, which makes them even more beautiful, emphasizing the impeccable bloosline of their parents.
But for such a thing, photosynthesis alone is not enough, especially at an age when the body is rapidly rebuilding, requiring colossal building resources.
Food is the most important source and fortunately I have no problems with it. But as time went on, the poison began to increase in concentration, which began to slow down my development.
I would consider it a blessing for developing resistance to myriad poisons if I were in the world of martial arts and superhumans, but my technique is from the world of cultivators, where the purity of energy is elevated to the absolute and performs all functions by itself.
"Noticing that the poison does not work on me, decided to try harder? I have long thought about how to get rid of this irritating obstacle, but who would have thought that they themselves would provide this opportunity? It's time to test the mother's love for her child, along with her determination and influence in the family."
******* ******
"What should we do?.."
She anxiously watched as the maid tried to feed her son chicken porridge, but he still did not want to eat, no matter how hard we tried to distract him.
When she looked at the baby, for a moment it seemed to her that their keen gazes collided with each other.
Before she could recover from her surprise, a metallic ringing sound was heard on the floor and a quiet squeak from a girl.
– Excuse me, madam, I'll clean up now! – the maid turned around in an instant and was about to bend down for the spoon, but it was already in her hands.
In an instant, the maid's face turned pale and she fell silent.
"Maybe my baby doesn't like the smell and taste of silver?"
She leaned down to sniff the spoon, but immediately with the aroma of the porridge, her nostrils grew cold, as did her face.
After eating a little, she felt her tongue begin to go numb, despite the fact that porridge was warm.
In an instant, her face darkened, and the maid was already white as chalk, pressing her lips together and sweating cold sweat.
– Monet, how should I understand this? – an icy voice, full of notes of barely restrained anger could be heard from her beautiful lips.
The maid immediately fell to the floor in a deep bow.
– I beg your mercy, madam! Please have mercy on my younger brother and sister, I will accept all your punishments!
– Get up. – Her voice became softer, although the anger inside did not go away. – You didn't have to do this, who is behind the assassination attempt on my son?
– Um... it's... – Monet began to move her eyes from side to side, clearly hesitating and afraid of something.
"I already have a guess who it might be, but I need to confirm my it and... she can still be used."
– As soon as they find out that you were caught red-handed, they will get rid of not only you, but also all your relatives, including your brother and sister. I hope you understand that I am the only one who can help you now.
– I... I will tell you everything, just please help my family, they are innocent! I was following the orders of Second Lady Elena, who acts on the instructions of the Duke of White Sword!
– Don't worry, you will continue to be by my side, and I will take your younger ones for education. – She said with a smile, anticipating the future chaos in their clan.
******* ********
"Luckily, no one noticed as I channeled my inner energy into my hand to throw the spoon far enough towards my mother."
I could see all sides perfectly, watching the progress of my mother's revelation of schemes upon me.
Having seen her in action, I was satisfied. Just her chilling smile made my blood run cold.
"What a terrifying woman. I must maintain a good relationship with her in the future, otherwise I will be in trouble."
