When all the star souls within a star field are lit up, even more powerful star field techniques can be obtained...
These skills only consume Star Essence, not Battle Qi or Soul Power. Therefore, regardless of whether one's strength is sufficient, as long as Star Essence is abundant, these skills can be easily used without causing any burden to the user.
Chapter Three: Hidden Star Soul
At the very beginning of Ye Chen's birth, two hidden star souls were activated in the star essence diagram within his body.
It can only be lit when the Star Chart first starts operating; it is the foundation upon which this body stands.
Coincidentally, at the moment of his birth, the stars shone brightly, and enormous starlight descended from the sky, pouring into Ye Chen's body, instantly giving him the star essence needed to ignite the two hidden star souls.
These two hidden star souls, one primary and one secondary, with Ye Chen's primary attribute being fire, not only amplified Ye Chen's essence, energy, and spirit by 10 points each, but also gave birth to a silver star flame...
Although this fire is still very weak, as Ye Chen continues to absorb more and more star power, the temperature of this flame will increase until it reaches or even surpasses the level of a different kind of fire...
Ye Chen was very confident about this!
The primary element is fire, and the secondary element is wood.
Wood fuels fire, and thus the gods are born.
The "god" here refers to the spirit among essence, energy, and spirit, specifically the human soul.
The wood attribute directly increased Ye Chen's spirit by 5 points. Combined with the improvement in his main attribute, Ye Chen now has 15 points of spirit. With the previous starfire, he is definitely a good candidate to become an alchemist!
This is why Ye Chen forced himself to study even such a boring medical text.
Having transmigrated to this Dou Qi Continent and become the eldest son of the Ye family, one of the five great families of the Pill Domain, he didn't want the Ye family to have to rely on Xiao Yan to prolong their lives, just like in the original story...
"But now that I am the legitimate son of the Ye family, I wonder if Ye Xinlan, the legitimate daughter, still exists... If she does, she would probably be my younger sister."
Gazing at the moonlight in the sky, Ye Chen couldn't help but think to himself.
"And who knows what year it is now? Has Xiao Yan not even been born yet...?"
With a series of questions swirling in his mind, Ye Chen rolled onto the bed, pulled the covers over his head, and went to sleep!
This is a good night's sleep...
Time flies like an arrow; life is fleeting.
Summer and winter came and went, and three years passed in the blink of an eye.
Of course, it doesn't mean that Ye Chen slept for three years straight, but rather that he had been living this kind of life for three years.
Although Ye Chen is already five years old, he is still a little kid, but he has changed a lot.
At the very least, a five-year-old with five levels of Dou Qi is enough to make people's jaws drop, even in the Ye family.
There was no other way; for the past three years, Xiao Yechen had to spend a long time every night absorbing star essence...
Although he is young and his cultivation of battle qi has only just begun, his absorption of star essence is very steady. He can accumulate one point every ten days, which adds up to more than thirty points in a year.
When Ye Chen activated the first Star Soul within his body, it consumed 10 points of Star Essence; the second would require 50 points of Star Essence…
If that's really the case, then if I get a powerful star chart in the future and create a hundred or eighty star palaces, wouldn't it take hundreds or thousands of years to light them all up?
Thinking about this, Ye Chen couldn't help but twitch his lips.
In three years, Ye Chen now possesses a total of 109.5 Star Essences. After spending 60 to activate the first and second Star Souls, he now has 49.5 remaining...
Hmm, that's exactly half of the requirements for the third star soul.
Whenever he thought of this, Ye Chen could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
However, such an expression on a five-year-old child seems rather incongruous...
However, Ye Chen was not in a hurry about this.
After all, the Star Chart still has room for upgrades. Presumably, this situation will change once the Star Chart is fully formed; otherwise, this cheat ability will be a misnomer…
...
Ye Chen is too weak now, even if he is supported by the Ye family, one of the five great families of the Pill Domain.
So even though it's clear that the Dou Qi Continent possesses countless powerful magical beasts, and even various life forms with special forms, there's simply no chance of obtaining them now.
But that's not a problem...
Ye Chen is not without his advantages.
His greatest advantage is his status as the eldest son of the Ye family and the powerful talent bestowed upon him by the Star Chart!
With the Ye family as his backer, he only needs to demonstrate enough talent to qualify for the Pill Tower. If he can find a powerful teacher in the Pill Tower, then none of this will be a problem.
"Right... doesn't this Pill Tower have the Three Thousand Burning Flames that have already taken form? Wasn't this prepared for me?"
Ye Chen stood there alone, a lewd smile on his face.
The Three Thousand Burning Flames are themselves star flames, a perfect match for his cheat ability!
If I could subdue it and fuse it into a real form, my future would be absolutely limitless...
Of course, all of this is based on the premise that one can enter the Pill Tower, and at the very least, become a core disciple of the Pill Tower.
Well, this is one of my small goals for the early stages.
…………
After careful consideration, Ye Chen chose to use the two Star Souls to enhance his fire control and Qi. Essence, Qi, and Spirit correspond to physical strength, battle Qi, and soul power, respectively, and for someone who already possesses 15 spirits, battle Qi is now a crucial element.
In that case, Ye Chen's current attribute is
Name: Ye Chen
Age: 5 years old
Star Essence: 49.5 points
Star Soul: 2 points (Note: Special hidden Star Souls, with primary Fire and secondary Wood, are not included in the calculation.)
Essence: 10; Qi: 12; Spirit: 15; Fire Control: 2
Star Domain Skill: None
Star Orbit Technique: None
It was precisely because of the Qi at 12 o'clock that Ye Chen was able to raise his Dou Qi to the fifth level in less than half a year.
This speed terrified the entire Ye family.
After all, the human body is small, and violent fighting spirit can cause great harm to such a body, which is why the stage of fighting spirit exists.
Even if this is used as a transition, before the age of ten, whether it is an ancient race like the Eight Ancient Clans or an ordinary person, the improvement of fighting spirit needs to be gradual, and the body needs to adapt step by step.
Even Xiao Yan only started practicing Qi at the age of four, reached the ninth level of Dou Qi at the age of ten, and condensed the Dou Qi vortex at the age of eleven, becoming a Dou Zhe.
If everyone trained like Ye Chen, they'd probably reach the Dou Zhe level in a year...
Then, the person became useless.
Therefore, Ye Zhong even gave Ye Chen a thorough physical examination, almost washing and drying him from head to toe...
"Young Master! The Patriarch requests that you go to the alchemy room..."
The maid's voice came from outside the door, interrupting Ye Chen's thoughts.
"Alchemy room? What are we going to do there? Do you expect me to start refining medicine right now?" Ye Chen muttered to himself in confusion.
Of course, Ye Chen was just overthinking things, especially the idea of refining medicine.
Even if you have the best talent, without enough battle qi to support the consumption of flames, you still cannot become an alchemist.
Although Ye Chen's natal star fire has now grown to a level comparable to some third-tier magical beast fire, with his current level five Dou Qi, he can't even sustain it for five seconds. So forget about refining medicine, at most he can only set off a firework...
Chapter Four: Soul Value
The Ye family's alchemy chamber is quite large; it is a huge stone chamber with a diameter of several tens of meters.
The stone chamber is divided into four areas, each containing a huge, pitch-black medicine cauldron. These four medicine cauldrons are used for the family's usual assessments.
This can be considered a small test for the clansmen. After all, if an alchemist suddenly uses a new cauldron, the difficulty of alchemy will naturally increase...
Upon arriving at the alchemy room, Ye Chen discovered that he wasn't the only one there; there were several others older than him, the youngest of whom were around ten years old, while he was the only one under ten.
These people included both men and women, and both direct and collateral relatives.
Some were of the same generation as Ye Chen, but others were a generation younger than him...
There's nothing we can do about it; it's a big family, and sometimes an uncle isn't even as old as his nephew. These kinds of things happen all the time.
Upon seeing Ye Chen arrive, Ye Zhong, the head of the Ye family who was in charge of the event, nodded solemnly to him and then had him place at the back of the line.
Ye Chen didn't care about this, but instead secretly glanced around to observe his surroundings.
At this moment, apart from those waiting in line, the rest of the people in the alchemy room were the close relatives of those present, all of whom were watching this side nervously.
Ye Chen also spotted his mother, who was standing outside with his father. When she saw Ye Chen's gaze, she happily waved to her son.
This scene left Ye Chen speechless once again.
My mother is truly a born optimist.
Don't you see the tense atmosphere among all the parents around you? What are you trying to do by looking so excited?!
"Alright, now that everyone is here, let's begin today's test..."
As he spoke, Ye Zhong slowly turned around.
Behind him was something covered by a black cloth...
He reached out and pulled off the black cloth, revealing a stone pillar that only reached his waist.
Ye Chen's eyes lit up as he looked at the strange stone pillar with some curiosity. In the middle of it was a crystal-clear jade belt about an inch wide, and at the very top of the jade belt was a crystal-clear round crystal.
"Test? This thing doesn't seem like a testing stone tablet for testing battle qi."
Perhaps noticing Ye Chen's puzzled expression, Ye Zhong's voice came again.
"I know you're all wondering what this test is for. Well, I can tell you, this time we're not testing battle aura, but—soul power!"
Glancing at the people present, it was clear that many of them actually knew the truth, hence their eager expressions.
"You are all qualified members of my Ye family to become alchemists, but how far you can grow in the future depends entirely on the strength of your own soul power..."
Seeing the reactions of the crowd below, Ye Zhong remained expressionless. "Those whose names I call, come up for the test..."
"The first one is Ye Ling!"
A girl dressed in green nervously went on stage...
"Ye Ling, Soul Value 32, Level: High".
Ye Zhong's serious voice carried far and wide, causing a small commotion in the room.
Ye Chen stood at the back of the line, craning his neck to look ahead. He then saw a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old walk down from above with an excited expression, and then rush into the arms of her parents.
This so-called soul value is actually a standard for detecting soul power transmitted from the Dan Tower.
If Ye Chen remembered correctly, a soul value of 50 was the standard for a first-grade alchemist. This meant that this little girl named Ye Ling, although only a two-star Dou Zhe, already possessed the soul power of an advanced alchemist apprentice, which was extremely rare.
Based on the Ye family's past experience, this young aunt
Once Mother reaches around the five-star Dou Zhe level, she can become a true alchemist...
Moreover, it has the potential to become a fifth-grade alchemist at the very least. As for whether it can be promoted to the sixth grade, that depends on luck.
The fact that the first test subject possessed such talent caused Ye Zhong's previously stiff expression to soften slightly.
"Next up, Ye Song!"
……
"Next up, Ye Yu!"
……
One by one, boys and girls walked onto the testing platform, and then walked off, some excited and some disappointed.
Overall, the Ye family members who underwent the test showed considerable talent, with 90% of their soul power reaching the standard of an alchemist.
What made Ye Zhong put on his mask of pain again was that none of these people had a talent level exceeding the seventh rank, which was very serious!
Perhaps for other families and forces in Zhongzhou, the emergence of more than ten potential alchemists at once, even if they are only at the sixth rank, is already extremely rare...
