204: Chapter 204 Arrival in Linhai County

"Elder Zhao," Ye Yisong bowed respectfully to Zhao Fenghua.

"Why still call me Elder? It's time to change how you address me." Zhao Fenghua looked at Ye Yisong with satisfaction. Such an excellent grandson-in-law was impossible to find even with a lantern; that child Yurou wouldn't know how to thank him enough.

"Grandpa Zhao." Under the prompting gaze of Ancestor Ye Rongming, Ye Yisong reluctantly changed his address. He had originally planned to go to Linhai Prefecture to avoid Zhao Fenghua, but he hadn't even departed yet, and the Old Ancestor had already sold him out to the Zhao Family.

"Aye." Zhao Fenghua responded with a smile, taking a delicate and small Formation Plate from his sleeve and handing it to Ye Yisong. "The jade pendant from just now can conceal the aura on your body. As long as you don't actively expose it, even a Martial King expert, unless they are in close contact with you, won't be able to see through your cultivation."

"This Formation Plate contains a small-scale Tier 5 Formation that can withstand three attacks from an Early Stage Martial King expert."

"Many thanks, Grandpa Zhao." Ye Yisong accepted the Formation Plate and thanked him sincerely. A Magic Treasure capable of withstanding three attacks from a Martial King was of immeasurable value; it was extremely difficult to obtain unless one was a close junior relative.

Zhao Fenghua truly regarded Ye Yisong as his own junior relative.

"Brother Zhao, you are generous!" Ancestor Ye Rongming hadn't expected Zhao Fenghua to be so lavish upon his first move; even he felt a bit envious of the Formation Plate in Ye Yisong's hand.

"Let's set off. Above all else, your primary task is to keep yourself safe." After Ancestor Ye Rongming unlocked the Restriction, his figure and Zhao Fenghua's disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Elder Ye, please come this way." Ouyang Xiuyuan personally brought Ye Yisong to the treasure ship's lounge. "Elder Ye, you may rest in this quiet room for the next few days. If you have any requests, feel free to instruct my two nephews."

"Mubai, Muqing, you must do your best to satisfy Elder Ye's requests. Do not neglect Elder Ye in the slightest." Ouyang Xiuyuan looked at the two middle-aged Martial Artists following behind him and instructed them.

"Yes, Uncle." Ouyang Mubai and Ouyang Muqing replied respectfully.

"Elder Ouyang, just call me Yisong. Being called Elder Ye makes me sound old." Ye Yisong didn't put on airs and spoke modestly.

"Hahaha, then I won't stand on ceremony. Elder Ye has achieved so much before even reaching the age of twenty; you are truly a promising youth." Ouyang Xiuyuan heaped a few more praises on Ye Yisong, but seeing that Ye Yisong didn't really like it, he casually found an excuse to take Ouyang Mubai and Ouyang Muqing and left the lounge, leaving only the Ye Family members behind.

"Uncle, is he really under twenty years old?" Ouyang Mubai asked, finding it hard to accept.

"Mm, according to reliable information from the Family, Ye Yisong is only sixteen this year. How is such a young Fourth-Rank Talisman Master not a member of our Ouyang Family?" Ouyang Xiuyuan looked enviously in the direction of the Ye Family and instructed the two of them again, "Tell the clansmen not to approach the Ye Family's rest area casually, so as not to disturb the distinguished guests."

"Yes." Ouyang Mubai replied.

"Boss Ye, you should also take a look at these books with them." Ye Yisong handed the books with the words 'Analytic Geometry' on the cover to Boss Ye.

"Very well, Thirteenth Young Master." Boss Ye humbly accepted the books from Ye Yisong's hand and replied.

In terms of Martial Dao cultivation, Boss Ye was much stronger than Ye Yisong; but if it came to Talisman Making techniques, Ye Yisong was several levels above Boss Ye.

For this three-month stint stationed in Linhai Prefecture, Ye Yisong had specifically made a request to the Family to select ten Talisman Makers to accompany him to Linhai Prefecture.

Ye Yisong intended to personally teach them Talisman Making techniques during these three months, realizing the set of Talisman Making methods he had kept bottled up in his heart for many years.

The Talisman Makers in the Family heard the news and eagerly signed up. In the end, Ye Yisong conducted a small test among the twenty applicants and, using his unique method, selected five Tier 1 Talisman Makers and five Tier 2 Talisman Makers to come to Linhai Prefecture together.

As for why he didn't select any Tier 3 Talisman Makers, it was because Ye Yisong's protector, Boss Ye, besides being an Eight-Star Martial Ancestor, was also a Tier 3 Low Grade Talisman Maker.

When Boss Ye had just achieved his Breakthrough to become a Martial Ancestor, he had also spent a lot of time studying the Dao of Talismans, but he had remained stuck at the level of a Tier 3 Low Grade Talisman Maker and was unable to make a further Breakthrough, so he spent less time on the Dao of Talismans later on.

After distributing the books to the eleven people, Ye Yisong entered the innermost secret room and started a new round of AFK mode.

Boss Ye and the ten others looked at each other in dismay, not knowing why Ye Yisong wanted them to study this obscure and difficult book in their hands.

How could this Analytic Geometry help with Talisman Making?

The eleven people didn't dare to rashly ask Ye Yisong questions, so they took the thick books in their hands, found a room, and went to study on their own.

Among the ten people, every once in a while, two or three would gather together to share their research findings.

It was just that no one dared to invite Boss Ye to join their academic exchange meetings.

Boss Ye was in the room closest to Ye Yisong, secretly guarding him, having already roughly flipped through the book in his hand.

It was fine at the beginning; he could barely understand the plane geometry and solid geometry, but he couldn't understand the linear equations and what those parameters were at all.

But to join the younger generation's discussions and ask them for advice, Boss Ye couldn't bring himself to lower his Face. He could only rely on his powerful Mental Energy to secretly examine the results of all the discussion groups.

If one were to say who learned the best among the eleven, it had to be Boss Ye; after all, Boss Ye had obtained a copy of the learning insights of all ten people.

Taking the essence and discarding the dross, he gradually began to feel like he was mastering it.

After handing his body over to the 798 Navigation System, Ye Yisong began to think about how he should proceed with this trip to Linhai Prefecture.

Doing too well definitely wouldn't work; the reason the Ouyang Family asked his Family for help was precisely because they were afraid of being squeezed out by the Zhao Family.

If the Zhao Family were provoked, it wasn't impossible for them to come at Ye Yisong hard.

If he did a sloppy job, the Ouyang Family certainly wouldn't be satisfied either; they had spent a large sum of money to invite a Fourth-Rank Talisman Maker from the Ye Family, not to invite Ye Yisong to come and play.

This balance was hard to strike!

Both the Zhao Family and the Ouyang Family had two Martial King experts, and among them, one was even a Late Stage Martial King; the Ye Family couldn't afford to offend either Family.

It would depend on the Ouyang Family's sincerity. If the Ouyang Family gave a little more, then he would help them stabilize their existing market share.

If the Ouyang Family didn't increase the payment, then he would reduce their original share by one or two tenths.

This way, both families could accept it; the Zhao Family wouldn't be driven to a desperate act and take action against him, and the money the Ouyang Family spent would also be worth it.

"Thirteenth Young Master, we have arrived at Butterfly Island." Boss Ye's soft call came from outside.

"Alright, wait a moment for me." Ye Yisong responded, not rushing to get up. He still had one Talisman that hadn't finished being refined; he couldn't let it go to waste.
