The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood - Chapter 10

Chapter 10

Ye Mo was beat after he finished helping Elder Yin refine 10 cauldrons of pills . His Spiritual Energy was exhausted .

As Elder Yin saw the situation Ye Mo was in, he pitied him and gave him five Spirit Fortifying Pills . These pills were second-grade pills, 10 times stronger than the Spirit Cultivating Pill .

Ye Mo was touched by Elder Yin’s gesture and kept those pills in his pocket . After seeing Elder Yin off, Ye Mo tidied the Pill Refining Chamber and went back to his own room .

Ye Mo quickly sat down and ate a Spirit Fortifying Pill . As soon as he swallowed the pill, he felt a surge of heat from his throat go straight to his Energy Center . The effect of the pill merged with his own Spiritual Energy, allowing him to access his energy 10 times faster than before . The concentration of the energy was also denser than what he could summon . It was at a whole new level .

Ye Mo began to manifest his Dragon Energy and tried to break through his mind’s Mortal Gate before the pill’s effect disappeared . When the first channel of Dragon Energy was gone, Ye Mo manifested the second Dragon Energy and continued to charge his Mortal Gate until his head began to ache .

“This Spirit Fortifying Pill sure is something . No wonder those geniuses could be that strong; it was really all because of the pill,” Ye Mo sighed . But in the meantime, he had the incredible Dragon Energy in his arsenal, and with enough time, he believed he could surpass all of them . He wanted to prove that he was far stronger than his father .

Ye Mo spent the whole evening training and meditating and eventually consumed all five Spirit Fortifying Pills .

He felt that if he had a few more pills, he could’ve broken through his mind’s Mortal Gate in one go .

When Ye Mo had completed his training, it was already nightfall . Senior Fu had already prepared his dinner for him . Ye Mo was deeply touched by his gesture . He ate his dinner and went straight to sleep .

Any form of training required the martial artist to be flexible and understand their own limits . If they trained too long or too intensely without rest, the training backfired . High-intensity training actually harmed the martial artist’s body .

Ye Mo woke up early the next day . After he’d brushed his teeth and washed his face, he went out to purchase Pill Refining Powder . If he could get on Elder Yin’s good side, he might just give him a few more pills .

Ye Mo arrived at the Hundred Treasure Pavillion . The beautiful Qi Yin walked towards him, her body once again moving sensually . She’d changed into a white Chinese gown, a very different style than what Ye Mo had seen last time .

“Little brother, you’re right on time . We just stocked up on some Pill Refining Powder . ” Qi Yin had a smile on her face that could attract any man she wanted .

Ye Mo was glad to hear the good news . “Great! Can I get two ounces of it?”

Even though two ounces sounded little, any alchemist knew that it was more than enough . As the manager of the Hundred Treasure Pavillion, Qi Yin had already guessed that Ye Mo was just an assistant . She smiled at Ye Mo and said, “Follow me . ”

Qi Yin led Ye Mo to a counter and asked the staff there for two ounces of Pill Refining Powder . Just as the staff was about to hand Ye Mo the powder, a hand stretched out and grabbed the powder from the staff .

“All of the Pill Refining Powders here now belong to me, Mo Feng!”

Ye Mo turned and saw where the voice came from . The guy had long black hair and the face of a warrior . He wore a black robe and stood proudly . A guy and a girl followed behind him, both of them with an air of arrogance about them .

Ye Mo knew who Mo Feng was . He was a member of the Mo clan who held the tenth spot on last year’s Limestone Champion List . He was not only a martial artist but also an alchemist .

“My apologies, Mr . Mo . These two ounces of powder were bought by this little brother here first . ” Qi Yin flaunted her sexiness as she spoke and made Mo Feng stagger .

“There’s been a shortage of Pill Refining Powder in the Mo clan recently . I’ll pay double for those two ounces . ” Even though Mo Feng looked elegant and refined, his eyes were glued to Qi Yin’s half-covered rack .

“I don’t think that’s a good idea . ” Qi Yin hesitated in front of the arrogant Mo Feng . Even though the trust of the customers was important in doing business, it was not worth it to offend the Mo clan over a mere assistant . Also, even though the Qi Clan was the strongest in the whole kingdom, they were still inside the Mo Clan’s territory .

“Miss Qi Yin, I hope you will consider the matter carefully,” Mo Feng said as he saw Qi Yin begin to hesitate .

Mo Feng was clear about what he wanted . Qi Yin acknowledged the situation and spoke in her sensual voice, “Of course . There’s nothing to consider . All the powders are yours to take . ”

Mo Feng nodded in satisfaction and took the powders . He never looked at Ye Mo even once .

Ye Mo saw the whole thing, but he was not angry . This was how the world was: justice is futile in front of the powerful . This was a world where the strong preyed on the weak .

Suddenly, a loud, sharp slap rang out and stunned the whole crowd .

Ye Mo snatched the powder from Mo Feng and said calmly, “I’m the one who purchased it first . It’s mine . ”

Mo Feng was also stunned by the slap from Ye Mo . He looked at Ye Mo and saw a boy wearing a black robe that was starting to lose its color and a pair of canvas shoes with patches on them . From Ye Mo’s appearance, Mo Feng understood that he was not an apprentice of an alchemist but only a mere assistant .

Mo Feng never thought that a mere assistant would dare to stand up to him .

Qi Yin opened her mouth slightly, stunned by what had just happened . She thought to herself, Little brother, are you out of your mind? This is the young master of the Qi clan you’re offending .

Even the crowd was rendered speechless . The alchemist’s assistant in front of them had no idea of his place . Mo Feng was one of the top members in the Mo Clan; he had already reached the Spirit Cultivating Second Realm . On top of that, he was an alchemist .

The top five of the previous Limestone Champion List had already joined the Three Major Alliance . The man that Ye Mo was staring at had the potential to become one of the new top five .

“Little brother, I think you should let this slide . I’ll save some for you when the new stock arrives tomorrow,” Qi Yin suggested as she did not want to see Ye Mo do something offensive towards Mo Feng .

“Thanks, but if this keeps happening, then the powder will be taken by the Ye Clan or the Xiao Clan tomorrow . I’m taking this powder back, no matter what it takes . ”

“Then take it if you can . ” Mo Feng smirked as he grabbed Ye Mo’s arm, unleashing all of his Spirit Cultivating Second Realm powers .

Martial artists of the Spirit Cultivating Second Realm possessed the the strength of four stones, which equalled to about 1050 pounds . The hand of an average person would be pulverized by that kind of force .

The people around them started to pity Ye Mo .

Ye Mo felt Mo Feng gathering his power . He instantly manifested the Dragon Energy to the Mortal Gate on his right hand to increase his grip strength . A dragon’s roar could be heard from his Mortal Gate, and Ye Mo unleashed a force that was on par with four stones .

Mo Feng felt the pressure coming from Ye Mo, and his face darkened . How is it possible for this little assistant to reach the Spirit Cultivating Second Realm? It’s presumptuous!

The two kept testing each other’s strength, determined to win the fight .

Both of their faces reddened . They were putting all their powers into this test of strength . The crowd began to wonder how the alchemist’s little assistant was able to reach the Spirit Cultivating Second Realm; he looked younger than Mo Feng .

“So, he actually has something up his sleeves!” Qi Yin exclaimed .

“Little brat! Looks like I mistook you for some weakling but I’m still not giving up the powder!” Of course, Mo Feng would not back off . If the power of those two were at the same level, then it was going to be a battle of their Spiritual Energy reserves .

Ye Mo began to waver . Even though the two channels of Dragon Energy were able to fight toe to toe with Mo Feng, he wouldn’t last very long . The Rising Dragon Pillar would able to replenish his energy, but it still needed some time . And what’s more was that he was using both channels at the same time .

As he started to feel the Dragon Energy fading, Ye Mo began to panic a little .

“Hmph! Can’t hold on any longer, can you? There is no way that I’m going to lose to a mere assistant!” Mo Feng laughed as he started to feel Ye Mo’s strength lessen .

The two people standing behind Mo Feng abegan to smirk . If the young master of the Mo Clan could not even defeat a helper, they would definitely become a laughing stock .

Ye Mo kept urging the energy in his Energy Center to pour their power into the black Dragon Pillar . Suddenly, Ye Mo felt a surge of energy rush to the pillar and out came a third channel of Dragon Energy .

“Rargh!” Ye Mo shouted as the dragon began to roar in his Energy Center . The third Dragon Energy rushed towards the Mortal Gate in his right hand .
