"Ye Li, you piece of shit, I know you're in there.
Tomorrow is the day to start the talisman-awakening ceremony. Your sea of consciousness hasn't been opened yet, hahaha. I want to see what you can use to awaken your natal talisman.
I heard that you got the forbidden fruit and wanted to use it in the opening ceremony. You are really desperate.
Although that kind of poison can temporarily and forcibly activate your sea of consciousness, if you do not have your natal talisman to awaken and suppress your sea of consciousness, your soul will be shattered and you will die immediately.
I think you are tired of living. Why don't you just be a martial talisman master? You have to force yourself to become a spiritual talisman master. You should know that not every loser can become a spiritual talisman master. "
A burst of sarcastic and mocking voices floated in from outside the courtyard, and every word was heard by a young man in the room.
After hearing the noise outside the yard, he did not respond, but his livid face and tightly bitten lips were enough to show his inner anger.
The young man's name is Ye Li, he is sixteen years old this year, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes and a heroic look. He is a last generation disciple of the Ye family, one of the three major families in Dahuang City.
He was kneeling in front of a spirit tablet at the moment, apparently offering sacrifices. The name written on the tablet was "Ye Hao".
"Dad, tomorrow is the day to start the talisman-opening ceremony, and it is also my last chance.
I... I have already reached the eighth level of the Gathering Spirit Stage, but I have not yet opened the Sea of Consciousness..."
The young man paused here, his expression becoming somewhat aggrieved and unwilling, he bit his lip and continued: "Dad, I got a forbidden fruit.
If... If I still have potential to tap, I will be able to successfully awaken my natal talisman with the help of the forbidden fruit and become a spiritual talisman master.
Only if I become a talisman master, will I be qualified to continue to keep this piece of land left by you, my father.
You said you have been waiting for your mother here for fifteen years, and you want to wait until she comes home. I... I will never let my family take back this land, even if... I have to die!"
When he said the latter part, Ye Li's face showed an extremely determined look.
"Dad, your spirit in heaven must bless me so that I can successfully awaken my natal talisman tomorrow and become a spiritual talisman master."
As Ye Li spoke, he kowtowed three times respectfully towards the spirit tablet.
After bowing, Ye Li stood up from in front of the spirit tablet. Seeing that it was getting late, he went back to his room to rest.
At dusk the next day, after making all preparations and adjusting his condition, Ye Li left the courtyard and walked towards the meeting place in the family compound in Dahuang City. A large talisman-awakening formation had been set up there to guide the clan members who were unable to awaken their natal talismans on their own.
When he arrived at the venue, it had already darkened and the lights were on, making the venue brightly lit.
There are a lot of people coming here today, including the family members who are preparing to receive the ceremony, their families, and other members of the clan, and the place is filled with noise.
Ye Li walked alone in the venue, feeling quite lonely and desolate.
"Hahaha, look who's here, isn't this our loser Ye Li?"
A burst of sneering laughter came from not far away from Ye Li, and it sounded like it was the same person who was talking outside the yard yesterday.
Ye Li knew who the visitor was without even looking. It was Ye Tianyi, the third son of his uncle.
The two of them had never gotten along because of the old grudges between their fathers. In the past, when Ye Li's father was still alive, the other party did not dare to go too far, but now he was becoming somewhat unscrupulous.
"Ye... Tian... Yi..., I am not a waste, I have already cultivated to the eighth level of the Gathering Spirit Stage!"
Ye Li turned his head and looked at the slightly plump, round-faced boy not far away, with a hint of anger on his face.
“Hey, so what if you are at the eighth level? If you can’t open the sea of spiritual consciousness, you can’t awaken your natal talisman, and you still can’t become a spiritual talisman master.
You should just accept your fate and be a martial arts master. You still have a chance to survive. Swallowing the forbidden fruit will definitely lead to your death. I don't believe you still have any unactivated potential to tap."
Ye Tianyi looked at Ye Li with contempt. His realm was also at the eighth level. His sea of consciousness had long been opened and stabilized. He was just waiting for today's talisman-opening ceremony to awaken his natal talisman and officially become a spiritual talisman master.
Faced with Ye Tianyi's sarcastic words, Ye Li was speechless. Not being able to open the sea of consciousness was indeed his pain.
Ordinary people can open their sea of consciousness when they enter the third stage of the Spirit Gathering Period. Even those who are slower can open it before the fifth stage. People like Ye Li who have not opened their sea of consciousness until the eighth stage are almost destined to become only martial talisman masters.
Although the martial talisman master is also called a talisman master, he does not have the ability to draw talismans and cannot draw the power of heaven and earth. He can only rely on the spiritual and physical strength in his body to fight. He is nicknamed "barbarian" by the spiritual talisman master and can generally only do low-level guard work.
The awakening condition of the natal talisman must be before the age of sixteen. If you are over sixteen, the natal talisman can no longer be awakened.
Restraining the anger in his heart, Ye Li said: "Ye Tianyi, I came here today with the forbidden fruit of God. As the saying goes, if you don't succeed, you will die.
I know that you and your father are both coveting the underground mineral vein in my family. You don't want me to die, because if I can't become a talisman master before the age of sixteen and don't have the conditions to continue to be in charge of this land, your father can fight for it by relying on his status as my father's brother.
If I die, the land will be taken back directly by the family and then redistributed.
But I tell you, whether I live or die, this land will never belong to you."
Ye Li's words also made Ye Tianyi angry. Ye Tianyi snorted coldly and said, "Ye Li, your father relied on his talent and was valued by grandpa. He got a lot of cultivation resources that should have belonged to my father.
If he uses this to become a master in the clan and lead the clan to grow and develop, we will have nothing to say.
But look at what he did. He actually went and provoked the woman of the Feng family, causing the Feng family to almost wipe out our family. He is really a jinx."
"Shut up, my father and mother truly love each other. My father gave up his cultivation to protect the family. How could he have let you down!?"
When Ye Li heard Ye Tianyi talking about his father's past, he argued anxiously.
Ye Tianyi looked at Ye Li's flushed face and sneered, "He did save the family, but this incident was caused by him, so of course he should solve it.
He has abandoned his own cultivation, which is equivalent to wasting the family's many years of hard training. My father and others were deprived of the cultivation resources back then, and now they are wasted. Do you still dare to say that he is worthy of us
Besides, how do you know they really love each other? Did your mother come back when your father died
Hehehe, you haven't seen her in more than ten years, right? Who knows what other guy she's with now, how could she still remember you and your damn father?"
"Shut up, damn it!"
Ye Tianyi’s words completely infuriated Ye Li. Unable to bear it any longer, he gritted his teeth and punched him.
