Shen Yuan Ring

The Ji family's once-a-year talent awakening event also came to a close with Ji Xiaohu's awakening.

Ji Ye took the compiled list of successful awakeners to the attic where Ji Hai was. However, at this moment, Ji Ye's gaze towards Ji Hai was not only respectful of his status but also filled with awe for the powerful.

Even if Ji Hai wasn't the head of the family, Ji Ye wouldn't dare to be disrespectful to a master at the Divine Realm.

He only learned from Ji Hai's telepathic message that the patriarch had already broken through to the Divine Realm, and that no word of it had spread within the family.

If it weren't for the "accident" that occurred when Ji Daoyi awakened his talent, he wouldn't have known that the family head had broken through to the Divine Realm.

Despite feeling a sense of awe, Ji Ye secretly cursed Ji Hai in his heart, thinking that he was indeed worthy of being the head of the family, with a deep and cunning mind. Even after breaking through to the Divine Realm, he pretended to be at the Nascent Soul Realm, making the family's stewards run around in circles.

Looking at the list of awakened individuals, Ji Hai was overjoyed, not only because of his son, but also because of the number of people who successfully awakened their talents this time.

Nearly three hundred people awakened their talents, and twenty-five of them succeeded. Among them, three were at the blue level and two at the green level. This was the best result he had achieved since becoming the clan leader.

After settling down in Daoshu City, the family invested a huge amount of resources and funds in the early stages. As a result, most of the family members awakened orange and yellow talents, very few had green talents, let alone cyan talents.

There are only a handful of young talents at the green level.

This time, three geniuses with the talent level of Youth were added directly. How could Ji Hai not be happy?

"My breakthrough to the Divine Realm cannot be revealed to outsiders for the time being. In the past two years, we have seemed to be getting along well with the major families, but there are still various undercurrents surging behind the scenes. Our Ji family's foundation is still too weak, so it is not advisable to make too much noise. It is more suitable to develop in a low-key manner." After a while, Ji Hai glanced at Ji Ye and said in a deep voice, "You understand what I mean, right?"

"Don't worry, Patriarch, I will definitely not reveal the news of your breakthrough to the Divine Realm," Ji Ye quickly bowed and assured him.

"Furthermore, Dao Yi's awakened talent will be registered as a high-grade Red level, and his resources in the clan will be distributed accordingly. In addition, all clan members who successfully awaken their talents this year will receive an extra 10,000 taels of silver."

Upon hearing Ji Hai's words, Ye Li glanced at him first, seemingly to give face to Ji Hai, the head of the family, and did not object.

After Ji Hai finished giving his instructions, Ji Ye took his leave.

"Ah Li, you're not mad at me, are you? For letting my son only receive that little bit of cultivation resources each month." Ji Hai pulled Ye Li into his arms and said softly.

“I know you did this to protect him. When A-Yi awakened his talent today, the awakening stone even showed a purple talent. Although the purple disappeared in the end, the awakening stone didn't go out but instead lit up with a white light. It's hard to detect that white light without using spiritual power. You were using spiritual power at the time, weren't you? Our son may have awakened a legendary talent. Even without family resources, with our current status, can't we get good resources? I understand the principle that the tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind. I don't want our son to be targeted by others at such a young age.” As she spoke, Ye Li's small hands unconsciously clenched into fists. “I'm going into seclusion starting tomorrow. After I come out of seclusion, I'll see who in the entire Daoshu City dares to touch our child.”

"Could it be that you have already..." Ji Hai was startled.

"Yes, just as you think. You'd better work hard, or you'll always be stuck at the bottom." Ye Li suddenly said playfully to Ji Hai.

At this moment, Ji Hai no longer possessed the imposing and domineering aura he had shown towards Ji Ye; instead, he felt more helpless, having been suppressed by Ye Li for ten years.

She thought that once she broke through to the late stage of the Divine Realm, she would be like Ye Li, a slave rising up to sing a song of triumph. Who knew that she would actually break through to the Perfect Divine Realm, and that she could break through to the Divine Transformation Realm just by going into seclusion.

(No, I can't let Ali break through to the Nascent Soul stage like this. If she does, I'll be even more ashamed for the next few years. I need to find a way to prevent her from breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. I'll wait until I reach the Perfected Divine Realm before letting her break through. I've got it!)

Ji Hai kept thinking and his eyes darted around.

Then, holding Ye Li's hand, he said, "Ah Li, breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage is no joke. Moreover, Dao Yi has only just awakened his talent and still needs your guidance and care. You know that as the head of the family, I have many family affairs to handle and don't have time to supervise Dao Yi's cultivation. You should take this opportunity to spend some quality time with Dao Yi. Also, breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage will bring the Nine-Three Thunder Tribulation, so you can't break through recklessly."

"That seems to make sense. I'll go into seclusion after A-Yi has cultivated for a few years and is fully on the right track. Preparing several defensive formations and magical artifacts now will make the tribulation easier." Ye Li thought for a moment and agreed with Ji Hai's assessment.

Hearing Ye Li's words, Ji Hai felt a surge of joy.

(I should reach the pinnacle of my cultivation soon, and then I'll be able to turn the tables and become the master.)

the next day,

Ji Daoyi and the other new batch of talent awakeners arrived at the Cultivation Techniques Pavilion early in the morning. Many of them had dark circles under their eyes, but instead of being in low spirits, they were full of excitement.

"Finally, I can start cultivating. Once I've achieved some success in my cultivation, I'll join the enforcement team."

"Me too, I'll bring honor to my family when the time comes."

Just as this group of young women were chattering about what the rest of their lives would bring, a young man in his twenties walked in.

"Quiet down, everyone! You will all come to me to receive your cultivation techniques. After receiving them, you will need to memorize the techniques given to you in the Technique Pavilion. Once you have memorized them, you will all need to come to me to recite them. Only those who successfully recite them here can apply for a cultivation room to practice."

"Of course, fellow students, besides remembering the cultivation technique, you also need to remember one more thing: the family's cultivation technique, 'Qiankun Yinyuan Jue,' must not be revealed to outsiders. If discovered, you will be taken away by the family's enforcement team," Ji Qian said with a mischievous grin.

Cultivation techniques can be divided into five levels: Saint, Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow, with Saint being the highest and Yellow being the lowest.

Each level is further divided into three grades: beginner, intermediate, and advanced, and each grade has its own differences; for example, the beginner level of the Yellow grade can increase the cultivation speed by 1.1 times, the intermediate level of the Yellow grade by 1.3 times, and the advanced level of the Yellow grade by 1.5 times.

Each level of cultivation technique increases exponentially, so possessing a high-level technique is extremely important, not only in terms of cultivation time, but also in terms of combat skills. The higher the level of the technique, the faster the Yuan energy is restored, and the longer the battle can last.

Ji Daoyi cultivates the Ji family's inherited technique, "Qiankun Yinyuan Jue," which is a high-level Earth-grade technique, sufficient to cultivate to the Dao Realm.

As soon as Ji Daoyi got his hands on the "Qiankun Yinyuan Jue" (乾坤引元诀), he began to read it. He found that the main text of the technique was only a few hundred words long, and the rest was mostly cultivation insights, explaining how to open up the dantian and refine the body by drawing in primordial energy.

Within a quarter of an hour, Ji Daoyi had memorized the "Qiankun Yinyuan Jue".

Then, under Ji Qian's astonished gaze, Ji Daoyi fluently recited the "Qiankun Yinyuan Jue".
