Qingyun Workshop.

  Seeing Ye Chen, the servants all recognized him.

  It wasn't just because Ye Chen came often, but also because of his reputation, which even they had heard of.

  The number one "Lick Spirit" of the Silver Moon Market.

  They heard that everything Ye Chen bought from Qingyun Workshop, like magic spells and storage bags, was given to female cultivators.

  It was simply outrageous.

  Immediately, a rather attractive servant approached, batting her eyes flirtatiously: "Fellow Daoist, what do you need? I can satisfy all your needs here..."

  Her words were filled with allure.

  Ye Chen almost thought he had come to the wrong pce.

  "I'm looking for your steward, Sun!"

  Ye Chen gnced at the inactive system, not bothering to talk more with the woman.

  The woman was visibly disappointed but quickly went to the back to call the steward.

  Soon, Sun Ye arrived.

  Seeing Ye Chen, his eyes lit up instantly.

  Every time Ye Chen came, he was basically bringing money to him.

  Naturally, he was particurly enthusiastic towards Ye Chen.

  He immediately invited Ye Chen to a private room on the second floor.

  "Why didn't you tell me st time you came to buy a storage bag? I have a second-hand one here, just like new, for only ninety low-grade spirit stones."

  "What are you here to buy this time?"

  "Magic spells, pills, magic artifacts? Whatever you need, we have it at Qingyun Workshop. Even if we don't have it now, we can order it from Qingyun City and bring it to you next time."

  Sun Ye spoke with extra enthusiasm.

  Ye Chen liked his greedy demeanor.

  Otherwise, how could he get close to his daughter?

  Ye Chen smiled and shook his head, taking out a hundred low-grade spirit stones: "As we discussed before, I want to learn talisman crafting from you."

  "Four lessons a month, one medium-grade spirit stone."

  "How about I start with one month?"

  Hearing this, Sun Ye showed a hint of surprise on his old face.

  Ye Chen really wanted to learn?

  Twenty-five low-grade spirit stones per lesson, that's not cheap.

  The most important thing is, the tuition is secondary.

  Talisman crafting consumes materials.

  A beginner doesn't know how many materials they'll waste before successfully crafting a talisman.

  The initial cost is extremely high.

  That's why rogue cultivators, even knowing that talisman crafting and alchemy can make money, don't learn it.

  Because they simply can't afford to learn or practice it.

  And Ye Chen's identity, Sun Ye already knew.

  Just a member of a small Qi Refining family.

  How many resources could he have?

  Allowing Ye Chen to learn alchemy was already quite good.

  Sun Ye didn't think the Ye family would fund Ye Chen to learn talisman crafting.

  Yet, unexpectedly, Ye Chen actually came.

  But thoughts aside, Sun Ye's hands moved quickly.

  The spirit stones on the table were instantly collected.

  Sun Ye agreed with a full smile: "Since you've brought the tuition, of course, you can!"

  "But why not pay a bit more upfront?"

  "If you pay for six months, I'll waive half a medium-grade spirit stone."

  Listening to Sun Ye, Ye Chen's mouth twitched.

  At this moment, Sun Ye seemed like a gym coach.

  Sun Ye certainly wouldn't be so generous.

  So he was simply betting that Ye Chen wouldn't st long.

  Maybe he'd quit after a month.

  So he wanted to earn more upfront.

  Gyms use the same tactic, a one-year membership is a thousand bucks, a two-year membership is fifteen hundred.

  They just want you to sign up for two years.

  But Ye Chen shook his head: "Let's see how it goes first. If it's effective, I'll continue. If not, then forget it..."

  "After all, learning talisman crafting from you isn't cheap."

  Hearing the refusal, Sun Ye wasn't disappointed.

  He decided to teach Ye Chen well in the first month, praise him a lot, and make sure Ye Chen felt he gained something.

  That way, Ye Chen would keep paying.

  Then he could persuade Ye Chen to ask the Ye family for resources and pay more tuition at once.

  Thinking of this, Sun Ye smiled and said, "Sure, no rush!"

  "I have time today, how about we start the first lesson today?"

  Ye Chen had no objections and nodded directly.

  Talismans are also an important weapon for cultivators.

  The essence of talismans is using formations to create paper that can unleash magic.

  Talismans have great advantages.

  They can help cultivators unleash spells they don't know.

  Many rogue cultivators can't afford spells, so they buy a few talismans for self-defense.

  But talismans also have drawbacks, like the user can't control the spell like they would a normal spell.

  And the power is fixed.

  Plus, the talisman must be activated first.

  It's easy for enemies to guard against.

  But all in all, they have a good market.

  Although learning talisman crafting was just an excuse to get close to Sun Ruoxin.

  Ye Chen didn't pn to sck off.

  And Sun Ye was indeed a Talisman Master.

  Ye Chen spent money, so he naturally wanted to learn well.

  Having more skills doesn't hurt, and although Ye Chen already knew alchemy.

  Learning talisman crafting wasn't a bad thing.

  But at this moment, Sun Ye continued: "You haven't prepared a talisman pen, talisman ink, or talisman paper, have you?"

  "For this lesson, you can use what's left from my daughter's practice."

  Ye Chen nodded, feeling that Sun Ye was somewhat considerate.

  But then Sun Ye added: "These will cost one low-grade spirit stone!"

  Ye Chen: ...

  I'll endure it, just wait until I win over your daughter!

  ...

  Ye Chen was determined to learn well.

  And Sun Ye was also pnning to teach well and encourage Ye Chen.

  But not even half an hour into the lesson.

  Sun Ye's face turned as bck as the bottom of a pot.

  His angry shouts kept coming.

  "Are you scribbling nonsense?"

  "I've said it a hundred times, when you start, your spiritual power must be evenly output, where's your brain?"

  "Focus, focus, what are you looking at?"

  "I've never seen such a hopeless case, more money, more money..."

  Sun Ye's angry voice even reached the first floor.

  Making the servants show strange expressions.

  And in the private room, Ye Chen's mouth twitched, his face also a bit dark.

  It wasn't because of Sun Ye's scolding.

  But his own learning talent seemed really cking.

  When the previous self learned alchemy, he was scolded every day.

  But since the teacher was his second uncle, he couldn't say anything too harsh.

  Ye Chen just thought his second uncle didn't teach well, and his own talent wasn't that bad.

  Plus, ter on, he had the insights of a first-grade alchemist.

  Ye Chen never thought about talent again.

  But today, learning talisman crafting from Sun Ye.

  Listening to his lessons.

  He was still confused, unable to grasp the key points.

  Ye Chen was sure, Sun Ye was expining very seriously.

  But the problem was, he just couldn't understand.

  Even if his brain understood, his hands couldn't keep up, nor could his spiritual power.

  This made Ye Chen realize one thing...

  This body's learning talent was truly terrible.

  After the lesson, Sun Ye's face was as bck as the bottom of a pot.

  If not for the spirit stones.

  He wouldn't want to look at Ye Chen, this waste, for even a second.

  No wonder he switched from alchemy to talisman crafting.

  With Ye Chen's comprehension, he couldn't even make a decent pill.

  Stop harming people.

  And Ye Chen was a bit embarrassed: "Well, senior, should we continue the lessons? If you don't want to teach, then about the remaining three lessons' fee..."

  Sun Ye's face turned even darker: "Since I've taken the money, I'll definitely teach."

  "Go back and practice well!"

  Sun Ye certainly wouldn't refund.

  He was even worried Ye Chen would feel his comprehension was cking and want to quit.

  And just walk away...

  But he felt particurly regretful.

  With Ye Chen's comprehension, he probably wouldn't be able to scam next month's tuition.

  Ye Chen was the worst student he had ever taught!

  And Ye Chen was a bit frustrated.

  Although he hadn't pnned to rely on talisman crafting for anything.

  But being this bad was still hard for Ye Chen to accept.
