206: Chapter 206 Teaching the Clan to Make Talismans

"Thirteenth Young Master, you have returned. The Ouyang Old Ancestor didn't make things difficult for you, did he!" Boss Ye, who had been waiting outside Crescent Moon Island, hurried up to meet Ye Yisong when he saw him return.

"It is fine. The Ouyang Old Ancestor merely granted me the reward for this trip in advance." Ye Yisong took out the newly acquired Grade 4 Puppet and demonstrated it with effortless ease.

"That is good." Boss Ye breathed a sigh of relief. "I have already instructed Jiewen and Jieyue to go to the island first to set up a place for us to rest. You must be exhausted from traveling for days, so you should rest well today and recover your energy."

"Very well," Ye Yisong agreed.

Crescent Moon Island was only about fifteen miles in area, but the Ouyang Family generously allocated half of it for the Ye clansmen to rest.

The twelve members of the Ye Family settled on this island, and the space was spacious and more than enough.

Ye Yisong had come to the Ouyang Family this time mainly to help them refine Tier 4 Talismans. After discussions between the two families, the Ouyang Family would provide 100 pieces of Tier 4 Talisman Making Materials every month, and Ye Yisong would deliver thirty-five Tier 4 Talismans to the Ouyang Family.

Regarding the Tier 4 Talismans to be delivered, the only condition emphasized by the Ouyang Family was that it must include ten defensive Talismans; they made no additional requirements regarding other aspects.

After paying his respects to the Ouyang Family's Old Ancestor, Ouyang Xiuyuan led him to meet the Ouyang Family's Clan Chief, Clan Leader Ouyang De.

The two exchanged brief pleasantries, and noticing that Clan Leader Ouyang De was extremely busy, Ye Yisong took the opportunity to take his leave.

At the time of parting, Clan Leader Ouyang De delivered all the Tier 4 Talisman Making Materials required for these three months to Ye Yisong.

When Ye Yisong and Boss Ye walked into the resting area arranged for them by the Ouyang Family, they saw that Ye Jiewen and Ye Jieyue had already arranged everyone's living quarters, leaving the two Cultivation rooms with the richest Spiritual Qi for Ye Yisong and Boss Ye.

"How is the research on that book going?"

Ye Yisong gathered everyone, sat down around a boiling large pot, and took the opportunity to ask about their learning progress.

In the depths of winter, the temperature dropped sharply, making it the perfect time for hotpot.

Everyone had followed him on a long journey and worked very hard, so Ye Yisong generously took out more than ten pieces of Grade 3 Yao Beast meat and five or six pieces of precious Grade 4 Demonic Beast meat to share the delicacy with everyone.

The eleven people looked at each other, but no one spoke first.

"Everyone, don't be nervous. Just say what is on your mind; treat this as your own sharing session," Ye Yisong encouraged.

"Thirteenth Young Master, fellow clansmen, I will make a fool of myself first," Ye Jiewen said, breaking the silence, and began to share his insights on studying the book Analytic Geometry.

"The theories in this book are unconstrained and imaginative. Using points and lines to outline planes, and then using planes to outline space—it is truly magical and breathtaking!"

"The Cartesian coordinate system in the beginning of the book is relatively simple, and the subsequent spatial Cartesian coordinate system is slightly more complex, but not difficult. After spending two days, I finally understood it."

"However, regarding the subsequent Linear Algebra, Jiewen is incompetent; I spent three days studying it and gained nothing."

"Indeed, Thirteenth Young Master, the subsequent systems of linear equations are truly hair-pulling. Just looking at them gives me a headache," Ye Jieyue chimed in.

Everyone nodded in agreement, as they had previously discussed those profound knowledge contents together.

"Old Uncle, what about you?"

Ye Yisong picked up a piece of Grade 4 Demonic Beast meat, blew on it, and put it into his mouth. After breaking through to become a Martial Ancestor, Ye Yisong no longer needed to stew the Grade 4 Demonic Beast meat until it was mushy before he could consume it.

"My insights are very similar to Jiewen and the others; I am also stuck at the later linear equations and cannot make any progress," Boss Ye blushed, not expecting Ye Yisong to ask him.

"Good," Ye Yisong nodded. It was indeed difficult for Boss Ye; a man over a hundred years old was being forced by Ye Yisong to study such a difficult book as Analytic Geometry.

"Everyone, eat. We are all our own people. If you are too polite with your mouths, your stomachs will go hungry."

"Hahaha."

Everyone was amused by Ye Yisong's words and picked up their chopsticks to reach for the Yao Beast meat in the pot, eating with great relish.

When everyone was full of food and drink, Ye Yisong directed the eleven people to form a circle, then took out a piece of Tier 3 Withered Vine and the Talisman blueprint for a Tier 3 Low Grade Explosive Flame Talisman, placing them in front of everyone.

Ye Yisong did not offer any explanation, merely picking up a pen and carefully marking the Withered Vine, marking out the 12 inscription positions of the Tier 3 Explosive Flame Talisman one by one. With his movements, thousands of points and hundreds of lines gradually spread out before everyone's eyes.

For the overlapping lines, Ye Yisong borrowed the habit from his previous life of marking important knowledge points, using different colors to make striking marks, making the key points clear at a glance.

After all the lines were drawn, Ye Yisong took out a carving knife and, following the pattern just drawn, began to outline the Talisman board for the Tier 3 Low Grade Explosive Flame Talisman stroke by stroke.

At first, everyone didn't notice anything unusual, but as Ye Yisong slowly perfected the 12 inscriptions and a beautiful picture was displayed before their eyes, connecting it to the books Ye Yisong had made them study over the past few days, some gradually understood Ye Yisong's operation and gasped in surprise.

"This!"

"Keep watching."

Ye Yisong's powerful Divine Sense suppressed the restless Ye Jiewen, and his hand movements did not stop, continuing to carve the unfinished Talisman board in his hand.

As time passed, more and more people gradually realized Ye Yisong's superb skills, and their sincere admiration for him grew with each passing day.

As a Grade 4 Talisman Maker Great Master, Ye Yisong truly lived up to his reputation. Not only did he create a unique secret method to improve the success rate of Talisman Makers in refining Talisman boards, but he also compiled these valuable experiences into a book. His outstanding achievements were truly breathtaking.

"Seal."

With a soft shout, everyone was awakened from their shock, and they all stared motionlessly at the refined Tier 3 Low Grade Talisman in Ye Yisong's hand.

Although this Talisman was not of a high grade, only Tier 3 Low Grade, its profound symbolic meaning was extraordinary. Everyone felt that Ye Yisong would surely independently open up a new era of Talisman Making, and his brilliance would surely be passed down for thousands of years.

"Did you understand?"

Ye Yisong handed the Talisman in his hand to everyone to pass around and asked softly.

"Many thanks to the Elder for your guidance."

After the eleven people finished passing around the Talisman, they looked at each other, stood up together, and bowed respectfully to Ye Yisong in the master-disciple salutation.

"Get up." Ye Yisong accepted their salute calmly. "During this period, you will stay here on Crescent Moon Island and refine Talismans according to the secret method I just used."

"One month later, those who have not yet had a Breakthrough to become a Grade 2 Talisman Maker will take the Yuelai Pavilion treasure ship back to Luomu Mountain."

Although Ye Yisong was not as strict in teaching his clansmen as Ye Jiexin, he did not want to waste too much time on fools.
