22: Secret method to concentrate nerves! Who is Ye Xinyan?

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for receiving 20 merit points as a System reward!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for receiving 20 merit points as a System reward!"

...As the two System prompts sounded in his mind.

Ye An then left the room!

In the courtyard, the four maids had just finished preparing the meal.

He wondered if it was because he had two more wives.

This time, Ye Shan didn't come out to eat; instead, she had the maids bring the food to her room.

Actually, this was better; with only himself and his three wives eating, Ye An was happy to relax.

During dinner, Ye An also voiced the question in his mind.

"Xin Lian, I have a question I want to ask the three of you!"

"Can you help me answer it?"

The three women were all startled, but they quickly nodded.

"Please ask, husband!"

Ye An didn't waste words and asked directly.

"I want to know, why is it that in the entire Ye Family branch, only the three of you became a Formation Master, Talismaster, and Alchemist?"

"There should be some children with Spiritual Roots in the branch family, right?"

"Why is this exactly? What are they lacking?"

Facing Ye An's inquiry, the three women were all stunned.

Then Ye Yinger smiled and said.

"I'll answer this question for you, husband!"

"Actually, there aren't only Xin Lian, but many other Formation Masters in the entire Ye Family!"

"Almost anyone with a Spiritual Root, even a Low-Grade Spiritual Root, can become a First Grade Formation Master without a problem!"

"But to step into the Second Grade Formation Master rank, it depends on the individual!"

"As for Talismasters and Alchemists, the requirements are even higher!"

"So, what's the difference between these people who can't Cultivate these three secondary professions and you?"

Ye An asked.

Ye Yinger smiled and pointed to her head.

"Divine Sense!"

"Also known as Mental Energy!"

"Mental Energy?"

Ye An suddenly understood.

Although he was a Transmigrator, he had read many Xuanhuan novels in his previous life.

This Mental Energy was like a person's intelligence.

Simply put, it could also be understood as whether a person is smart.

If a person is smart enough, then their intelligence must not be low.

Such a person can grasp the essence of a Formation faster when inscribing it.

Conversely, a very clumsy person would naturally have very ordinary intelligence, making it difficult for them to learn things like Formations.

Ye Yinger said.

"Under normal circumstances, Cultivators with Spiritual Roots generally don't have low intelligence!"

"Even if they can only enter the Qi Refining Realm, learning to inscribe a First Grade Formation is completely sufficient!"

"But trying to inscribe a Second Grade will be very difficult, requiring time to slowly hone!"

"However, a Third Grade, don't even think about it!"

"For Xin Lian to become a Second Grade Formation Master, besides her own diligent study, it's because she is very smart!"

"What about you?"

Ye An asked.

Ye Yinger and Ye Tonger both looked a little ashamed and said.

"My sister and I have slightly better Spiritual Roots and intelligence than Xin Lian!"

"Logically speaking, reaching Third Grade Talismaster and Alchemist shouldn't be a problem!"

"It's just a pity that the only Mental Energy Cultivation Secret Manual our branch family has is the Spirit Condensation Sutra!"

"It can only Cultivate Mental Energy to the Peak Qi Refining Realm!"

"Plus, our branch family doesn't have any Third Grade Talismasters or Formation Masters at all, so no one can guide us!"

"We can only rely on ourselves to slowly explore and don't know when we'll be able to Breakthrough!"

Ye An understood what was going on after hearing this.

It turned out that in the world of immortal Cultivation, not only was it difficult to become a Cultivator.

It was also not easy to become a powerful secondary professional like a Formation Master.

Imagine, if one doesn't have a Spiritual Root, then their intelligence is likely not very high.

Naturally, it would be difficult to make progress in secondary professions.

As for Cultivation, that would be even more out of the question!

Therefore, those who don't have a Spiritual Root but can become Alchemy Grandmasters, or Talismans and Formation Grandmasters, are all exceptionally talented individuals.

Most people are already doing well if they have a Spiritual Root to Cultivate.

Let alone secondary professions that also require intelligence!

"Husband, since you mentioned this, you can go to the branch family's Scripture Pavilion and borrow the Secret Manual, the Spirit Condensation Sutra, to read!"

"If your Mental Energy can improve, perhaps you can also quickly enter the ranks of a First Grade Formation Master!"

Ye Xinlian reminded him.

Ye Yinger and Ye Tonger were also startled upon hearing this.

"Has husband entered the Dao of Formations?"

"Yes! It was not long ago, but unfortunately, I've been busy and haven't had much time to practice, so I haven't become a First Grade Formation Master yet!"

Ye An said.

Ye Yinger, who was beside him, quickly said.

"If husband wishes to see it, Ying Er will send someone to rent it back!"

"Rent it back? Don't they sell this thing?"

Ye An asked in surprise.

Ye Tonger smiled and said.

"Husband is joking; this Spirit Condensation Sutra is the only Mental Energy Cultivation method in our branch family!"

"How could it be sold? If there are people in the clan without Spiritual Roots, they aren't even allowed to look at it!"

"Those with Spiritual Roots have to pay a thousand Spirit Stones to view it once, and they can only view it for ten days!"

"Copying and sharing are also not allowed!"

"There are many rules!"

Ye An suddenly understood.

But thinking about it, it made sense; as the only Mental Energy Cultivation method in the entire branch family, it was indeed highly valued!

However, Ye An really couldn't come up with a thousand Spirit Stones!

As if seeing through Ye An's thoughts, Ye Tonger smiled and said.

"Husband, don't worry, my sister and I have saved some money over the years!"

"We can help you borrow it!"

Ye An scratched his head and said.

"That's too embarrassing, having to spend your Spirit Stones!"

"But don't worry, I'll definitely pay you back when I earn money later!"

"Husband, what are you saying? Since we sisters are already married to you, we are naturally one family!"

Ye Yinger said.

Ye Tonger also nodded and said.

"Sister is right; after my sister and I go to the shop, we will arrange for someone to send the Secret Manual back as soon as possible!"

Seeing this, Ye An didn't say anything more.

Ye Yinger and Ye Tonger were so generous to him; he would just remember it and slowly compensate them in the future.

Their kindness towards him was more meaningful when kept in his heart than on his lips.

Soon, Ye Yinger and Ye Tonger finished eating and left.

They still had to manage the branch family's shops, so they were naturally quite busy.

Ye Xinlian, on the other hand, returned to her room to inscribe Formations.

For a while, only Ye An was left.

While sitting in the courtyard waiting for the Secret Manual.

Ye An also pondered the favorability of Ye Yinger and Ye Tonger.

Although they were now his wives.

Their favorability was still only 50%!

Perhaps it would slowly increase over time.

But the increase was, to be honest, a bit slow.

"Could it be that as the Spiritual Root improves, the speed of favorability increase also slows down?"

"I wonder if there's any way to quickly increase the favorability of these two sisters!"

"Is it because they haven't been able to Breakthrough to Third Grade Talismaster and Alchemist?"

Ye An pondered in his heart.

After he saw the Secret Manual Spirit Condensation Sutra, he might also be able to quickly improve his Mental Energy.

At that time, whether it was Formations, Talismans, or Medicinal Pills, he would be able to get involved.

Perhaps he could even help them in the future.

Thinking of this, Ye An felt that his merit points were still too few.

He had to earn more as soon as possible!

...As Ye An was thinking, Xiao Dong indeed ran back from outside.

At the same time, she handed a Secret Manual to Ye Gu.

"Young Master-in-law, this is what Young Miss Ying Er asked me to bring back for you!"

Ye An nodded, picked it up, and saw that the cover indeed had the three characters "Spirit Condensation Sutra" written on it.

And as Ye An opened the first page.

He was stunned.

Only to see written on the first page.

"Gifted by Ye Xinyan!"

"Ye Xinyan?"

"Who is Ye Xinyan? Why is her name so similar to Xin Lian's?"

Ye An muttered to himself.
