203: Chapter 203 Ye Yisong's Success Rate in Talisman Making

"Old man, here are the Talisman Making Materials you asked me to bring back." After the other Elders left, Ye Yisong took five hundred out of the two thousand pieces of Talisman Making Materials he had drawn from Yuelai Pavilion and handed them to Ye Jiexin.

With the level of the 798 Navigation System cheat, theoretically, he only needed 600 pieces of Talisman Making Materials to complete the task for Yuelai Pavilion, making the remaining 1400 pieces pure profit.

Generously using Yuelai Pavilion's resources to give five hundred pieces to Ye Jiexin, Ye Yisong naturally felt no psychological burden at all.

"Why so many?" Ye Jiexin checked the Talisman Making Materials in the Storage Pouch and said in surprise.

"Hehe, is it a lot?" Ye Yisong handed the other Storage Pouch at his waist to Ye Jiexin, signaling him to take another look.

"Did you go to the East Sea to sell yourself, brat? Which young lady did you sell yourself to? Don't tell me it was the East Sea Zhao Family?" Ye Jiexin teased. He didn't suspect that the Spirit Stones were given by Old Ancestor, Ancestor Ye Rongming; the fact that the Ye Family's Old Ancestor was a pauper was known to every three-year-old in the entire Cangjiang Prefecture.

"Of course not. Look at what this is." Ye Yisong took a token from his bosom and displayed it before the Clan Chief, Clan Leader Ye Tuanhui, Grandfather Ye Tuantu, and Ye Jiexin.

"The Third-Class Guest Elder token of Yuelai Pavilion!" Grandfather Ye Tuantu exclaimed in surprise. "How do you have this token?"

"Of course it belongs to your grandson." Ye Yisong lifted his head slightly, waiting for their praise.

"Good lad." Grandfather Ye Tuantu had followed long-distance merchant ships to the East Sea Prefecture several times in his younger years, so he was considered worldly and knew the weight of this token.

With this token, Grandfather Ye Tuantu felt much more at ease about Ye Yisong going to Linhai Prefecture.

Within the territory of the Great Wei Dynasty, with the protection of Yuelai Pavilion, those few in Linhai Prefecture would surely not dare to openly make a move against Ye Yisong.

Furthermore, the Ye Family would also benefit from this. At the very least, the perk of receiving one Tier 4 barrier-breaking pill per year would make many families envious.

There were also precious Cultivate resources that the Ye Family could never purchase before, which could now be sought through Yuelai Pavilion's connections.

"Brat, I can't just take advantage of you. The task at Yuelai Pavilion isn't easy, right?" Ye Jiexin handed the two Storage Pouches back to Ye Yisong. There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world; since Yuelai Pavilion gave so many Talisman Making Materials, what they wanted in return must be significant.

"Yuelai Pavilion provides two thousand pieces of Tier 4 Talisman Making Materials annually, and I deliver six hundred Tier 4 Talismans every year." Ye Yisong told the three about the Yuelai Pavilion task, and without waiting for them to overthink it, he continued, "My success rate for Tier 4 Talismans has already risen to about fifty percent. This business is a guaranteed profitable deal."

"Whose Legacy jade slip did you get this time, kid? Let me see it." Ye Jiexin widened his eyes and looked at Ye Yisong in disbelief.

The Clan Chief, Clan Leader Ye Tuanhui, and Grandfather Ye Tuantu were not Talisman Makers, so they might not know how difficult it was to improve the success rate of a Fourth-Rank Talisman Master.

In a hundred years, Ye Jiexin had only managed to improve his success rate from twenty percent to about forty percent. It was only after gaining some insights from the Legacy jade slip that Ye Yisong had accidentally obtained that he managed to improve it to about fifty percent.

And it wasn't just Ye Jiexin; through exchanging insights with Ouyang Guanhai, Ye Jiexin finally had some understanding of the success rates of other Talisman Makers.

The success rates of the vast majority of Talisman Makers in the world were similar to Ye Jiexin's situation, and some were even worse than Ye Jiexin.

Only a few gifted Talisman Prodigies could rapidly improve their Talisman Making success rates in a short period, but none were as exaggerated as Ye Yisong.

How long had it been since Ye Yisong broke through to become a Fourth-Rank Talisman Master, and his success rate had already reached fifty percent? If outsiders knew about this, the assassination attempts Ye Yisong would face would be a hundred times stronger than what Ye Jiexin faced back then.

The Wei Family and the Wang Family would never allow Ye Yisong to continue growing, and they would even be willing to start a clan war to eliminate Ye Yisong.

The reason Ye Yisong could improve his Talisman Making success rate so quickly was thanks to the 798 Navigation System cheat. While controlling Ye Yisong to continuously refine high-quality Talismans, it seemed to have left behind some muscle memory, making Ye Yisong more adept at refining Talismans than ever before.

"There's no such thing as a Legacy jade slip. It's just that my talent for Talisman Making is a once-in-a-millennium occurrence." Ye Yisong said with a hint of melancholy, "It's troublesome! How can a person be so outstanding?"

"You brat, you're getting cocky now." After knowing Ye Yisong's Talisman Making success rate, Ye Jiexin had no more worries. He snatched the two Storage Pouches from Ye Yisong's hands and unceremoniously took an extra one hundred pieces of Tier 4 Talisman Making Materials before returning one of the Storage Pouches to Ye Yisong.

"Old man, you just said you wouldn't take advantage of me, and now you're trying to cut off my source of income!" Ye Yisong immediately cried out.

"Hmph, this counts as the tuition you owe me this year." Ye Jiexin had already planned it out; every year, Ye Yisong must provide him with six hundred pieces of Tier 4 Talisman Making Materials. If he didn't, he would hold up a banner to accuse Ye Yisong of the crime of disrespecting his Elder teacher.

"Six hundred and fifty as tuition every year? You really dare to ask for it. Aren't you afraid of stuffing your belly?" Ye Yisong rolled his eyes and mocked.

"Six million? Even ten million, my old belly could take it all." Ye Jiexin patted his shriveled belly, looking as if he had Ye Yisong completely figured out.

Fine, encountering this old rascal, Ye Yisong could only consider himself unlucky!

"Yisong, go back and get a good night's rest today. Tomorrow, follow the Ouyang Family Elder back to Linhai Prefecture. I'll let Boss Ye go with you so there's some support on the road." The Clan Chief, Clan Leader Ye Tuanhui, interrupted the Fourth-Rank Talisman Master show of the two clowns and waved for Ye Yisong to go back early, so the two wouldn't keep arguing.

"Yes, Clan Chief Grandfather." Ye Yisong couldn't be bothered to argue with Ye Jiexin; trying to deduct his Spirit Stones? No way.

"Oh right, old man, these few bottles of Medicinal Pill are for you." Before leaving, Ye Yisong tossed three bottles of soul nourishing pill to Ye Jiexin.

"You brat." Ye Jiexin looked at the three bottles of soul nourishing pill in his hand and cursed with a smile.

"Good grandson, going to Linhai Prefecture this time, although you have the Ouyang Family's protection, you must still be extremely careful. If things become impossible, immediately retreat to Yuelai Pavilion; preserving yourself is what matters most." Grandfather Ye Tuantu instructed earnestly.

"Don't worry, Grandfather. You know me, right? Do you think I would lose my life working for the Ouyang Family? They wish!" Ye Yisong laughed.

"Right, they wish!" Grandfather Ye Tuantu was amused by Ye Yisong and laughed heartily.

The next day, just as the sky was faintly bright, Ye Yisong, led by Boss Ye, arrived at the Ouyang Family's treasure ship, bleary-eyed, and met the Ouyang Family Elder who had come to the Ye Family to deliver the message.

To Ye Yisong's surprise, Old Ancestor, Ancestor Ye Rongming and Zhao Fenghua were also on the treasure ship, chatting and laughing about something. Ye Yisong couldn't hear clearly, only knowing that the two were talking very happily.

"Come here." Old Ancestor, Ancestor Ye Rongming beckoned to Ye Yisong, signaling him to come closer, and hung a jade pendant on Ye Yisong's waist. "Going to Linhai Prefecture this time, don't try to be a hero. Stay well in the Ouyang Family's territory, Butterfly Island. Three months later, I will come to pick you up."

"Grandson-in-law, come, come, come over to Grandfather here." Zhao Fenghua beckoned kindly and called out to Ye Yisong.
