13: Chapter 13 Taking Stock of the Harvest

After more than ten days of hard work, Ye Yisong looked at the several Storage Pouches on the table and revealed a long-lost smile; although his head was splitting with pain, his heart was full of joy.

Because during this period, Ye Yisong had not only harvested a large number of Tier 2 Talismans, but also inadvertently discovered that his "Spirit" had grown a little bit.

If Ye Yisong's previous "Spirit" could be compared to a fava bean, now his "Spirit" was indeed the size of a peanut.

Although the growth was limited, the result was indeed gratifying.

Ye Yisong couldn't help but praise Ye Jiexin; this guidance had opened up a smooth path for him to quickly reach the Martial Ancestor Realm.

It was a pity that it was truly mentally draining; otherwise, Ye Yisong wouldn't have stopped his steps, as he felt that if he did a few more rounds like this, he would really not be far from becoming a first-level mental patient.

Looking at the Storage Pouches on the table, calculating the harvest from this period, aside from the 10 Great Fireball Talismans and five Black Tortoise Shield Talismans given to Ye Jiexin, he currently still had 40 Great Fireball Talismans, including 23 Low Grade, 15 Medium Grade, and 2 High Grade; as well as 25 Black Tortoise Shield Talismans, including 16 Low Grade, 8 Medium Grade, and 1 High Grade; and 9 Water Spear Talismans and 9 Flying Fish Talismans, though they were all Tier 2 Low Grade.

Finally, there were two bonus items, Tier 1 Water Spear Talismans and Flying Fish Talismans.

In the middle of this, Ye Yisong specifically avoided Ye Jiexin and went to the Family Affairs Hall to painfully take out his small private treasury, secretly replenishing a batch of Materials, but alas, his pockets were empty.

Thinking of the time that old rascal intercepted his gains, Ye Yisong felt very heartbroken and seriously suspected that Ye Jiexin did it on purpose, just to find an excuse to exploit his life value.

Waving his fist, Ye Yisong felt that his strength had also improved from a Five-Star Martial Master to a Six-Star Martial Master; in the repeated consumption and replenishment, his strength had helplessly improved a little bit more.

Calculating the harvest in his heart, if it were all converted into Spirit Stones, he could get more than ten thousand Spirit Stones.

In Ye Yisong's view, this was no different from an astronomical figure; no wonder the Family attached such importance to the Legacy of various skills.

This was just the bonus of a Tier 2 Talisman Maker; if placed in the scale of a large Family, the Spirit Stones earned would definitely be incomparable.

Although Ye Yisong, this Tier 2 Talisman Maker, was a cheater and not everyone could operate like him, the Family's Tier 2 and Tier 3 craftsmen were no slackers.

Not to mention there was a Tier 4 big shot leading the way.

After finishing the accounts, Ye Yisong thought of his Cultivation Technique, the "Green Lotus Sea-Transformation Sutra", which was like a gold-devouring beast.

When he was still a Martial Apprentice, Ye Yisong had privately compared notes with Ye Yitian and the others; every time he made a Breakthrough, the time or Spirit Stones he spent were several times theirs, which made Ye Yisong depressed for a long time and unable to let go.

If he hadn't secretly eaten many Heaven And Earth Treasures given by Ye Jiesheng, who knows where his cultivation would be struggling right now?

Now that his Talisman Making level had broken through, he could finally use Spirit Stones boldly and confidently, without having to be stingy like before, which also meant that Ye Yisong's strength would enter a stage of rapid advancement before the Bottleneck.

In Ye Yisong's ten years of Cultivation, the various magical aspects displayed by the "Green Lotus Sea-Transformation Sutra" made Ye Yisong believe that it was a Tier 5 Cultivation Technique.

At the same strength, Ye Yisong's Dantian was larger than Ye Yitian and the others, and his Spiritual Qi reserves and purity were also higher than theirs, meaning that within the Family, Ye Yisong was invincible among his peers.

Every time he thought of this, Ye Yisong's heart would involuntarily beat faster; all the young disciples of the Family were cultivating Tier 4 Cultivation Techniques, while he alone stood at the pinnacle, a feeling that could not be described to outsiders.

During this period, Ye Yisong had spent a lot of energy on Talisman Making; it could be said that he did nothing but eat, sleep, and make Talismans, but he had not forgotten the true meaning of the Martial Dao.

Strength was the hard truth; everything in front of strength was just foam and not worth mentioning.

No matter how high his Talisman Making level was or how good his success rate was, if he encountered a powerful Martial Master, everything would be fake.

People would call him a Tier 2 Great Master to his face, but who knew what kind of schemes they were hatching behind his back?

Ye Yisong had just advanced to the Martial Master Realm and had not yet fully adapted to his new power; if he continued to break through, he could do it, but there was a high possibility of damaging his Foundation, which would be more than the loss.

Moreover, he had reached a Five-Star Martial Master in just two days, and now he had broken through to a Six-Star Martial Master; it was truly a bit scary.

Ye Yikang was a few years older than him and was only a Five-Star Martial Master.

Ye Yisong had just broken through to become a Tier 2 Talisman Maker and had hooked up with a 798, so it was inevitable that he would be a bit addicted to it.

Just like this, in just over ten days, he had produced more than ninety Tier 2 Talismans; if hostile forces knew about this, they would probably be scared to death.

Ye Yisong planned to go to the Family Affairs Hall to trade a batch of Talismans, first to recoup his costs, and by the way, prepare the Spirit Stones and Medicinal Pills for the next Cultivation.

He would keep a portion of the Medium Grade and High Grade Talismans for emergencies.

Talismans could be used in the Martial Examination; you could even set up formations, but there was a prerequisite: these external items must be manufactured by yourself on the spot, otherwise it would be a violation.

As for how to determine whether it was manufactured by oneself, the government had its own means of verification.

He would sell the rest at his own shop in the market, then exchange them for some Spirit Stones and Medicinal Pills for Cultivation, to settle his strength, and try to raise it to the highest level without damaging his Foundation.

Ye Yisong had long ago set his goal to follow the Realm-based path; he didn't want to be like those peerless Geniuses who had to polish every Realm to Perfection before breaking through, as long as the Foundation was solid, that was enough.

Polishing the Foundation to Perfection had many benefits, but after careful consideration, Ye Yisong thought it wasn't worth it.

In Ye Yisong's view, no matter how good your Foundation was, it was impossible to defeat or even kill an enemy across a large Realm.

Especially the further you went, the more impossible it became; he had long seen the Peak duel of Nine-Star Martial Masters in the Family, and after the most superficial calculation, no matter how powerful a Martial Master was, they couldn't be an opponent of a Martial Ancestor; it was a matter of a single finger.

Therefore, Ye Yisong had defined himself since childhood to quickly improve his Realm; once the Realm was reached, everything else wouldn't be a problem.

While you were still struggling to pursue Perfection, you would find that I was already a Martial Ancestor, or even a Martial King; what else could you play? Just wait to be beaten.

Based on this guiding ideology, from childhood to adulthood, Ye Yisong had only focused on learning one Cultivation Technique, three Martial Skills, and one minor subject; he only had a simple understanding of others to avoid suffering losses later.

Name: Ye Yisong

Cultivation Technique: Green Lotus Sea-Transformation Sutra (Tier 5)

Martial Skill: Thirteen Fierce Tiger Styles (Body Refining)

Green Lotus Sword Arts (Tier 4), a total of nine styles, an unremarkable sword manual.

Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves Technique (Tier 4), used for fleeing and chasing enemies.

Minor Subject: Talisman Maker (Tier 2 High Grade)

...

There was nothing else; Ye Yisong was truly an anomaly of the Ye Family Clan, the direct descendant who had learned the fewest Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills.

After spending some time tidying himself up, Ye Yisong walked out of his room, ready to complete the great fortune-making cause that had obsessed him these past few days.
