Chapter 26

~~

"Becoming Master Yi's disciple is not an easy task. I can only recommend you, but whether or not Master Yi will choose you depends on your own performance," Lin Zhiyan said, her delicate brows slightly furrowed. Seeing Ye Wei's expression, she immediately smiled and comforted him, "But you don't need to worry too much. With your talent, as long as you perform normally, I don't think there will be any problem. Your soul perception is very strong, even surpassing that of a true Divine Pattern Master. Even if you lack some knowledge in Divine Patterns, it doesn't matter, after all, you are still very young. The knowledge of Divine Patterns is extremely complex; there are seventy-two volumes of orthodox Divine Pattern Dao alone. So even if you can't become a Divine Pattern Master for now, it's not a big deal. With your talent and Master Yi's guidance, you will definitely become a Divine Pattern Master in the future!"

Lin Zhiyan's face was adorned with a faint smile as she gently patted Ye Wei's shoulder and winked encouragingly.

Although she didn't know what Ye Wei was worried about, the most important thing for him now was to meet Master Yi, which was crucial to the future of Ye Wei and his entire family!

In the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty, Divine Pattern Masters were very noble and transcendent figures, and no power would dare to provoke a Divine Pattern Master.

Who could guarantee that they would never need a Divine Pattern Master in the future? When a Divine Pattern Master raises his arm, countless strong individuals would be willing to serve them!

"I will do my best!" Thinking of the predicament the Ye family faced, Ye Wei said solemnly, determined to make a good impression when he met Master Yi and gain his recognition!

As long as he could gain Master Yi's approval, he should be able to ask Master Yi to help resolve the crisis for the Ye family!

The Dao Vessel carriage moved very quickly, and in just a short while, it had crossed half of Qingyue City and stopped at the edge of the city, at the foot of Yuying Mountain.

Yuying Mountain was not majestic and was not a famous mountain, just an ordinary one. However, because Master Yi lived on this mountain, it held a special significance in Qingyue City.

At the top of the mountain, covered with purple bamboo, stood a simple and unadorned small courtyard with a purple bamboo pavilion. The Dao Vessel carriage stopped on an open space outside the courtyard.

"We're here!"

Lin Zhiyan led Ye Wei down from the carriage.

"Does Master Yi live here?" Ye Wei looked around, gazing at the very ordinary courtyard and bamboo pavilion, and asked with a slight surprise.

In Ye Wei's mind, Master Yi was a god-like figure, high above and untouchable by ordinary people. He had imagined that Master Yi's residence would be a grand palace, but the scene before him completely颠覆ed his imagination.

A simple hill, a simple courtyard, and a bamboo pavilion—everything was as simple as it could be. Could the unreachable Master Yi really live here?

"Master Yi!" Lin Zhiyan stood in front of the courtyard, looking at the bamboo pavilion, and called out in a clear and pleasant voice.

Rumble!

Just as Lin Zhiyan's clear and pleasant voice echoed, a deafening explosion suddenly sounded. Then, a hoarse cry of "Ouch!" was heard, and a disheveled old man tumbled out of the bamboo pavilion. His clothes were torn into rags, barely hanging on his body, and he looked extremely disheveled.

"Failed again! Failed again! Why is it so difficult to create a middle-rank Mystic Art?" The old man, with a look of dejection, got up from the ground, scratched his messy hair, and muttered to himself.

"Master Yi!" Lin Zhiyan, seeing Master Yi's disheveled appearance, raised her forehead slightly, speechless, and glanced at Ye Wei, who had wide eyes, and smiled awkwardly.

"Is this person, this person, really Master Yi?" Ye Wei found it hard to believe that the disheveled and disheveled old man before him could be the legendary Master Yi.

The difference between this person and the image of Master Yi in his mind was too great, like the difference between heaven and earth!

This is just a dirty old man!

"Little Zhiyan, when did you come?" Master Yi seemed to finally come to his senses upon hearing Lin Zhiyan's words and walked over to the two with a smile.

"Just arrived. I brought Ye Wei to meet you!" Lin Zhiyan smiled.

"Meeting Master Yi!" Ye Wei did not dare to be disrespectful and hurriedly bowed respectfully.

After all, Master Yi was still Master Yi. Even if he was different from what he had imagined, he was still a Divine Pattern Master, one of the highest-ranking figures in Qingyue City!

Hearing Lin Zhiyan's words, Master Yi glanced at Ye Wei.

Ye Wei's heart suddenly tightened. He felt a sharp light flash in Master Yi's eyes, as if it had the power to see through the soul, making him feel completely exposed.

Ye Wei immediately became solemn, no longer daring to have any thoughts of contempt, and thought to himself that to become a peak Divine Pattern Master, Master Yi must have some extraordinary qualities!

"Your soul perception is quite good!" Master Yi nodded slightly, looking very satisfied.

Hearing Master Yi's words, Ye Wei was startled. Master Yi had only glanced at him and knew his soul perception?

"Zhiyan said you perfected the Three-Tide Palm Mystic Art, raising it to the middle-rank Spirit level?" Master Yi looked at Ye Wei and asked straightforwardly.

"Yes!" Ye Wei answered respectfully, without any modesty. At this moment, modesty was unnecessary; the stronger the talent he displayed, the more Master Yi would value him.

"Being able to perfect a Mystic Art and raise it to a higher level based solely on soul perception, your talent is indeed good!"

"However, to become a Divine Pattern Master, outstanding soul perception is just the foundation. I need to know how well you have mastered Divine Pattern knowledge and your compatibility with Divine Patterns!" Master Yi stroked his sparse beard and said.

"Compatibility with Divine Patterns?" Ye Wei was slightly taken aback.

"Exactly. To become a Divine Pattern Master, you must not only master a sufficient amount of Divine Pattern knowledge and have outstanding soul perception, but you must also have a high compatibility with Divine Patterns!"

"The strongest ability of a Divine Pattern Master is to create Mystic Arts. If your compatibility with Divine Patterns is not high enough, it is almost impossible to create Mystic Arts. Therefore, compatibility with Divine Patterns is also a necessary criterion for becoming a Divine Pattern Master!"

"But Master Yi, Ye Wei hasn't reached the Seventh Star Apprentice realm and cannot write Divine Patterns!" Lin Zhiyan said hurriedly.

"That's not a problem. I have my ways!" Master Yi chuckled. As a Divine Pattern Master, he had many special abilities that ordinary people could not imagine!

Ye Wei couldn't help but feel a bit nervous. He didn't even know what Divine Pattern compatibility was!

"This is last year's Divine Pattern Master disciple examination paper. I will give you three hours to see how far you can go. I will judge your mastery of Divine Pattern knowledge based on your performance on this exam."

Master Yi took out a thick stack of scrolls and handed them to Ye Wei.

"Okay!" Ye Wei nodded and quickly took the scrolls. He was worried about his family and the safety of his cousins Ye Zhongtang, Ye Qiutang, and Ye Xuan. He was eager to return to the Ye family.

Therefore, after receiving the exam, Ye Wei immediately sat down at the table and began to read it seriously. However, when he saw the first question, he suddenly froze.
