This wooden sword was used by his father when he was alive. After his father gave up his cultivation, his health became increasingly weak. Unable to use his spiritual energy, he could only learn sword dancing in the yard to keep his body active.
At first he could still wield the iron sword, but as his body grew weaker day by day, he could only wield the wooden sword with difficulty. In the last two years, he could not even wield the wooden sword.
When Ye Li saw the wooden sword, he was reminded of his father's haggard appearance before his death, and his heart was filled with sadness.
Not daring to think any more, he looked at the mechanism box next to him. He didn't know what metal the box was made of, but the workmanship was very delicate.
Ye Li reached into the Qiankun bag and the box appeared in his hand. After the box was taken out, a folded piece of thin paper was revealed underneath.
Ye Li tore off the thin paper at the bottom of the box, opened it and saw some crooked words written on it.
He recognized his father's handwriting at a glance. The words were crooked because he was too weak to hold the pen steadily.
“Ye Li, my son, you finally opened the sea of consciousness and found this box.
I know you have been troubled by the problem of the sea of consciousness, but I feel very conflicted about it.
On the one hand, I feel sad that you cannot open the sea of consciousness, but on the other hand, I also feel fortunate.
The greater a person's power, the greater the hardships he will encounter.
Powerless mortals only worry about the daily necessities of life, but we worry about family, life and death, love and hate.
But now that you have opened the sea of consciousness, it can be regarded as God's will. This box contains some things from my past. It is the turning point of my life, and the best time of my life started from here.
This secret box can only be opened when you reach the Linghai stage. It can be considered a small test for you.
The Spiritual Sea Stage is one of the conditions for entering there. I entered at this level of cultivation, and there I met the most important lover of my life.
If you embark on the path of a talisman master, there is no way back. All you need to do is become stronger, stronger than anyone else. Only then will no one be able to force you to make an unwilling choice. Only then will there be no more pain.
Ye Li, my son, I wish you a smooth and peaceful life. Don’t be like me…”
The letter ends here, and it seems that the last sentence is not completed.
However, Ye Li could understand why his father did not finish this sentence, because his father did not know how to evaluate his life until his death.
He didn't know whether his life was good or bad. Although he had lost all his cultivation and was like a useless person, he still met the love of his life and enjoyed the happiest time of his life.
He didn't know if everything would be better if he hadn't met Ye Li's mother, but he knew that if he missed her, he might never have the chance to feel that happiness in his life.
With tears in his eyes, Ye Li folded the letter carefully, placed it under the box and put it into his Qiankun bag.
He wiped his eyes and a determined look appeared on his face.
“Dad, I will definitely break through the Spiritual Mist Stage soon, and then cultivate to the Spiritual Sea Stage.
I want to see what you left for me, and I also want to go to the places you have been to.
I want to become stronger, and then find mother for you. Your spirit in heaven must watch over me, and I will take you to see mother."
After Ye Li calmed down, he stood up. He now had enough spirit stones, so he planned to go to the Chamber of Commerce in the city first and refine the Red Flame Pill as soon as possible.
The clan competition in three months is imminent. In order to keep this land, he must pass this hurdle.
After leaving the courtyard, Ye Li soon arrived at Dahuang City.
Dahuang City is located to the west of Shanhai County, adjacent to Dongshan City and Beihuang City.
The entire continent divides the strength of forces into nine grades. The Ye family and the other two major families in Dahuang City, the Luo family and the Cao family, are all seventh-grade forces.
Although the three great families are the three largest families in Dahuang City, the strongest force in Dahuang City is not them, but a shop - Xunbao Pavilion.
Behind the Treasure Hunting Pavilion stands one of the four strongest chambers of commerce on the continent—the Zhao Chamber of Commerce, which has the strength of a second-grade chamber of commerce.
Of course, the Treasure Hunting Pavilion in Dahuang City is just a branch, and their influence has long spread to most cities across the country.
Ye Li was standing at the door of the Treasure Hunting Pavilion at this moment. On the huge attic, there was a golden plaque with the three-character name of the store inscribed on it.
The attic is built entirely of mahogany and decorated with glazed golden tiles, exuding an air of wealth everywhere.
Ye Li had been here before, and it was here that he bought the forbidden fruit.
In addition to being able to temporarily force open the sea of consciousness, the forbidden fruit is also an auxiliary medicinal ingredient for some high-level elixirs. Therefore, the price is not cheap. One piece almost consumed all of Ye Li’s savings.
Before he could step into the store, a pretty girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old walked out and said with a sweet smile, "The Treasure Hunting Pavilion welcomes guests. I wonder what this young master needs. Do you need Qingqing's help to guide you?"
Ye Li looked at her and said politely: "Hello, I came to your pavilion to ask you to help me refine a pill."
The girl named Qingqing nodded and said, "What level of alchemist does the guest need?"
Ye Li said: "I need a Xuan-level alchemist."
Qingqing was a little surprised when she heard Ye Li's words. Few people in this small town would need a Xuan-level alchemist. It seemed that the young man in front of her needed to refine a Xuan-level pill.
However, Qingqing's face did not change. She still had a smile on her face and said respectfully, "Master Chu, the Xuan-level alchemist of Xunbao Pavilion, is currently researching the recipe for the elixir. It is not convenient for her to see guests at this time. However, the deputy pavilion master is here. You can tell her what you need."
Ye Li didn't care about meeting the alchemist in person. He just needed to tell the other party his needs. After the deal was settled, the other party would naturally help him refine the pills.
After seeing Ye Li nod, Qingqing made a gesture respectfully, inviting Ye Li to follow her in.
The Treasure Hunting Pavilion has a total of four floors and is not small in size. The items sold there range from elixirs and materials to talisman weapons and treasures. Almost anything a talisman master needs is sold there.
Ye Li had been here last time, so he was familiar with the environment downstairs and did not look around.
He followed Qingqing's guidance and walked all the way to the fourth floor. This was his first time here.
After going upstairs, he looked around. There was no counter here. There were only small rooms. It was obvious that this was the place where more important business was discussed.
After Qingqing asked Ye Li's name, she asked him to wait for a while while she went to a room inside to pass the message. When she came back, a very beautiful woman about 23 or 24 years old was following her.
