Talisman Reincarnation - All My Clones Are Dao Ancestors-Chapter 82: Convincing the Clan Head

Lin Yiyuan didn’t talk to his elder about his choice just yet.

Time passed as the lesson ended and he was sent back.

In his room, he looked at the distance, north, where the spiritual spring would be.

"The family has cherished me and given me resources to quickly cultivate.

On the night of my awakening, I suddenly felt like the cultivation art passed on by the family had various flaws and could be optimized."

After telling the elders, they had initially doubted him. In the end, he proved it through action and gained even more resources.

Looking back at those memories, he felt a deep gratitude.

A fire lit up above his hand – a calm fire like one growing on a piece of wood, with the occasional breeze making it flicker.

This was his inspiration.

A fire that naturally existed in the world, with little use of spiritual power, extremely efficient.

The most important was that it improved his health somewhat and boosted his cultivation.

It had been only a few months since he started cultivating, if it wasn’t for this flame, he wouldn’t have been able to digest all the resources he got.

With a look of determination, he was sure.

Night fell and he cultivated deeply, not resting a single moment.

...

The next day, he went to his elder, another one.

Looking at the elder, he asked, "May I speak to the clan leader?"

The elder looked at him with a bit of confusion, but since this was the young talent of their family, he agreed.

They walked down the path from the courtyard Yiyuan cultivated at to the clan hall where the clan head took care of many clan matters.

Since the clan land was rather small, it didn’t take a long time to reach the clan hall.

The elder led the way, entering prior and talking about the matter.

A moment later, he came out and led Yiyuan inside.

"Little Yiyuan, has anything happened? What do you wish to discuss with me?"

Yiyuan walked forward and bowed deeply, "Clan head, please allow me to participate in the competition with the Sun family!"

The clan head frowned when he heard this, "Who told you about this?"

Looking to the side, his look questioned the elder that had led him here. The elder shook his head, "Clan leader, I haven’t mentioned this matter at all."

Yiyuan bowed deeper, "Clan head, please don’t pursue this matter. I heard some clansmen mention it while I was passing them by, and then looked into this information myself.

I knew no clan elder would voluntarily give me the answer, so I could only learn bits and pieces about it.

Clan head, please allow me to fight in the competition against the mid-grade Sun family cultivator!

I will prove myself to be worthy of all the resources the clan has given me!"

Although Yiyuan hadn’t heard anyone mention it, he knew that with resources came a certain responsibility. If he didn’t prove his worth, people would question it.

Maybe one day he would have to do more than simply enter a competition.

He was confused and his senses were dull. Besides that time when he awoke and had a sense of what to do, the rest of the time, he just practiced the cultivation art in his own way.

"This matter, Yiyuan, it’s dangerous. You really shouldn’t participate.

Such a small matter of a spiritual spring... although it might seem important, to us, anything that hasn’t reached the fourth stage doesn’t deserve fighting for too hard.

With our negotiations, even if we lose, we will still gain 20% of the output.

Listen, let’s do it like this. This competition will take place every ten years to decide the output of the following ten years.

You should just cultivate slowly and in ten years, you should have reached the peak of late stage or even advanced to the peak stage of qi refining. By then, you can still participate in this competition. If you really want to prove your worth, that will be the best time."

When Yiyuan heard this, he didn’t raise his head but instead answered his honest thoughts, "Clan head, this cultivation art of mine boosts cultivation and health, it’s not very suitable for fighting. I can see right now that my spiritual power reserves are generally higher than that of most.

If I could just participate, I should be able to win now.

As for the matter in ten years, I’m honestly not sure I could compete with them by then.

Rather than looking at the future, I want to prove my worth now and fight for the clan!"

At the end of the sentence, Yiyuan knelt down, his head on the ground, unwilling to budge.

This was not only a matter of proving one’s worth. To be honest, he also had a selfish motive.

He knew that if he wanted to continue his rapid advancement and reach the peak stage in just a few years, he would have to get more resources.

Higher digestion of resources meant he needed to get more than that of others to cultivate at peak efficiency.

Waiting and cultivating slowly with hard work didn’t even cross his mind.

If he could cultivate faster, wouldn’t that be better?

Unfortunately, this thought was spread among most cultivators. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

The clan head naturally understood this and in the end, he could only nod, "Alright, this matter, I won’t stop you from it.

Go with your elder to the treasury and take an offensive weapon and a defensive one, which should aid you in this competition."

Yiyuan didn’t reject it, "Thank you, clan head, for your trust in me! I will make sure not to disappoint you!"

Full of excitement, Yiyuan stood up and bowed once more deeply, excited about this matter.

With this, he should be able to advance very fast.

His thoughts were already in the future –

Winning this competition, he should get a splurge of cultivation resources. With that, he should reach the sixth stage of qi refining very quickly.

Then he should prepare for the breakthrough.

As far as he remembered, there were breakthrough pills in the clan storage.

A plan of continuous quick advancement slowly formed in his mind.
