That's why, people really shouldn't show off…
Ye Chen was truly feeling this now.
Looking at the dizzying list of medicinal herbs before him, Ye Chen, who was less than two years old, could only sigh and try his best to memorize them again…
"Greater knotweed, Polygonum genus, marrow star point, sticky when chewed, sandy texture.
Polygonum multiflorum, cloud brocade pattern, red skin, shallow grooves, wrinkled texture.
…
Cimicifuga, Ranunculaceae, nodular, with stem holes and net-like grooves on top,
Concave and convex root marks on the bottom, light in weight, hard in texture, slightly bitter and astringent.
…"
Dazed and bewildered, miserable and sorrowful…
A tiny person sat in the pavilion, hunched over a stone table, nodding off while memorizing boring medical texts.
In the distance, a woman who looked only twenty years old approached gracefully, her two maids carrying silver trays with exquisite pastries and candied fruits.
"Ye Chen, what are you doing?" A sweet voice with a hint of playfulness rang out, startling the napping rascal, who smacked his head on the tabletop.
"Mother, can you give me some warning before you speak? You scared me…"
Rubbing his reddened forehead, little Ye Chen rolled his eyes and said.
"Hehehe, let Mother see if my little Ye Family Genius was scared."
The beautiful woman directly picked up Ye Chen, kissed his forehead, and seeing her son's disgusted expression, she burst into laughter, shaking like a branch in the wind.
Ye Chen wordlessly broke free from his mother's embrace in this life, jumped to the ground, took a few candied fruits from the maid, threw them into his mouth, then lazily sprawled on the table, head resting on his arm, and asked with a tilted head: "Why are you here today? Didn't you say you were going to find a husband for my aunt a couple of days ago? Aren't you, as her sister-in-law, concerned about this matter?"
Speaking of this, Song Chun'er had a gossipy expression, pulling her son and excitedly saying: "Haha, you don't know, let Mother tell you, your little auntie…"
Looking at his gossipy mother, Ye Chen shook his head and sighed like an old man.
Sure enough, even though she was already a mother, she was still so childish!
"You little brat, what kind of expression is that!"
Song Chun'er noticed her son's expression and immediately poked him on the head discontentedly.
Speaking of her son, Song Chun'er remembered a year ago…
This boy, except for when he was just born, was like any ordinary infant, only knowing how to eat and sleep, and crying loudly when unhappy.
But after he turned one, and could run and speak, he immediately displayed the talent of a Prodigy.
Not only could he converse fluently with adults, but his thinking was also as mature and agile as an adult's, and he learned to read in just one month, after which reading and writing were no problem at all.
This greatly surprised everyone in the Ye Family, who all said they had given birth to a Qilin child…
Now, even the entire Ye City was spreading rumors, saying that the Ye Family's Young Master was a divine Reincarnation, and on the day he was born, the sun and moon were dim, the star gods flickered, and auspicious signs descended from the heavens.
They exaggerated everything to the point of absurdity, making the Ye Family's servants and maids look at their young master with strange eyes, which annoyed Ye Chen immensely.
"Alas… this is all the trouble caused by showing off!"Ye Chen had sighed like this in his heart more than once.
As a Transmigration and Rebirth, Ye Chen had his memories from birth.
However, to avoid being too shocking, he pretended to be an infant for a full year, unable to take care of his daily needs, and that feeling was incredibly uncomfortable…
Finally, when this young body could move on its own, the impatient Ye Chen immediately displayed a side different from other one-year-old infants, and even couldn't resist his mischievous urges, deliberately showing off his ability to read at one year old and his photographic memory.
Originally, he wanted to use this to gain the title of a Genius and enjoy himself, but he unexpectedly overdid it with his showing off. He was directly taken by his grandfather, who was the current Ye Family Head, Ye Zhong, to an old man who was supposedly the Ye Family Old Ancestor. Then, his grandfather tearfully spoke of the Ye Family's hope for rise, and finally, he was forced to memorize these lengthy and boring medical texts…
Whenever he thought of this, Ye Chen wished he could slap himself twice!
Why did you have to show off instead of enjoying a perfectly happy childhood!
While Ye Chen was regretting, his head suddenly ached again, and then he saw a charming face, seemingly angry and annoyed, appear before him.
"Ouch! Mother, why are you hitting me again? If you make me stupid, how will you explain it to Old Ancestor!"
These words made Song Chun'er both annoyed and amused. She directly poked his smooth forehead and said: "This little thing, your whole person came out of my belly, so can't I, your mother, even hit you now?!"
"Alright, alright, hit me, hit me. You can even take a hammer and drum on me like a drum now…"
Pfft!
Song Chun'er couldn't help but be amused by her son's lifeless expression. She couldn't resist pinching his ear and twisting it back and forth like a steering wheel.
After a session of mother-son bonding, Song Chun'er left contentedly.
Little Ye Chen, left behind, looked at his medical texts with despair, and then continued to memorize…
Night fell.
Ye Chen, physically and mentally exhausted, entered his room, went to his bed, and sat cross-legged on it. A cool, clear starlight shone in from the window, falling precisely on him.
At this moment, Ye Chen was not asleep; instead, he directly entered a peculiar place within his body.
Here, dim stars filled the space, with only a scattered few twinkling with faint starlight…
Star Diagram
This was the name of this place.
It was also Ye Chen's Golden Finger that accompanied him after his Rebirth on the Dou Qi Continent.
He could use this Star Diagram to absorb the power of external stars, gathering Star Essence; with Star Essence, he could illuminate Star Soul, enhancing his essence, Qi, spirit, body, strength, speed, fire control, Soul control, recovery, and other special abilities.
In addition, the Star Diagram had two functions that Ye Chen was very satisfied with.
Since it was called a Diagram, it naturally couldn't be without a shape.
The complete Star Diagram had a concrete image manifestation, thereby unlocking more powerful functions of the Star Diagram… such as combat techniques similar to Dou Skill and so on.
It was not difficult to make the Star Diagram manifest. The simplest way was to directly kill a Demonic Beast and absorb its Demonic Beast Soul and Bloodline, which would directly manifest the image of that Demonic Beast.
And depending on the strength, attributes, and Bloodline of the manifested Demonic Beast, it greatly influenced the strength of the abilities granted to his Star Diagram in the future.
After the Star Diagram was completely formed, different Star Domain would appear, and each Star Domain would have varying Star Palace, awaiting the illumination of Star Soul.
Different Star Palace were connected by Star Orbit. Connecting Star Palace of the same attribute could grant corresponding attribute skills, known as Star Orbit Skill.
And when all the Star Soul within the Star Palace in a Star Domain were illuminated, then even more powerful Star Region Skill could be obtained…
The use of these skills only consumed Star Essence and did not consume Dou Qi or Soul Power, so regardless of whether one's strength had reached the required level, as long as there was sufficient Star Essence, they could be easily used without imposing any burden on the user
