The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood - Chapter 23

Chapter 23

Ye Mo arrived at Ye Mei’s house but was unable to find her and Xiao Cao . One of the servants there told him that both of them had gone to the main hall .

“A Phase 3 Alchemist sure is something, huh? Almost all of the important people in the clan are gathering in the main hall . That Elder Yin must be overjoyed . ”

Ye Mo walked out from the room and smiled . Yet Ye Mo wasn’t interested in the celebration . This is just a stage for some of the important people in Limestone City to come and get on our good side .

Well, since Xiao Cao is in the main hall, I think I should go back and train . Now that Ye Mo has awakened four channels of his Dragon Energy, he could break through all of his Mortal Gates faster . He wanted to complete the feat as soon as possible and reach the Spirit Cultivating Realm . Only then could he fight geniuses like Ye Changsheng .

Just as Ye Mo was on his way back to his room, Senior Fu came running and shouted, “Young master, Elder Yin was looking everywhere for you . ”

With Elder Yin advancing to a Phase 3 Alchemist, Ye Mo’s status had also risen with it, and this lessened some of Senior Fu’s worries .

“Why is he looking for me?” Ye Mo asked .

“He wants you to go to the main hall,” Senior Fu replied .

“Tell him I’m busy training and don’t have the extra time to go to some noisy place,” Ye Mo said and began to leave .

“Please, young master . Now that Elder Yin has risen to a Phase 3 Alchemist, he’s become a significant person in Limestone City . If he views you highly, you should at least meet his expectations . The training can wait,” Senior Fu said . “Our main hall is filled with prominent people from the city . You should go and meet them and make some friends your age . Please don’t let your late father down . ”

Ye Mo looked at Senior Fu . He was speechless . He wondered how Senior Fu would react if he knew Elder Yin’s advancement was all thanks to him . But since Senior Fu was worried about him, Ye Mo did not have the heart to refuse him . “Alright . I’ll head over there now . ”

Ye Mo dragged his feet to the main hall while Senior Ye stood and watched him leave . He would not go until he had confirmed that Ye Mo has entered the main hall .

All of the seats in the main hall were taken by some of the most important people in Limestone City .

Elder Yin and Ye Kuang sat in the middle while the Martial Arts Division master Ye Zhantian, Ye Mei’s father Ye Xiao and Ye Hou’s father Ye Di stood beside them with Ye Mei and Ye Changsheng .

Ye Mei was not wearing her usual combat shirt but had instead changed to a pink dress . Her smile bloomed like a flowers . She held her chest as high as two mountains . Anyone would agree that she was the attention of the whole room .

Most of the young men from other clans had their eyes glued to Ye Mei . On the other hand, many young women were staring at Ye Changsheng, the prodigy of the Ye Clan who had reached the Spirit Cultivating Fifth Realm .

“I would like to express my gratitude to everyone for coming!” Ye Kuang said and laughed . Since his clan now had a Phase 3 Alchemist, his standing in Limestone City had risen as well .

“No, it should be us who must thank you,” said one of the clan leaders . “Now that Elder Yin has advanced to Phase 3 and is able to create Spirit Fortifying Pills with markings on them, we other clans will have to rely on the Ye Clan from now on . ”

Even though it was a third level training pill, the Spirit Stabilizing Pill would yield better results than a Spirit Fortifying Pill with marking and the latter was still able to strengthen a person’s Meridian Energy and Mortal Gate .

“He’s right!” Other clan leaders applauded .

“You’re too generous . ’ Ye Kuang smiled . “We’ve known each other for quite some time now . As long as all of you will take my side when it matters, I’ll definitely repay that debt . Elder Yin, do you have anything to say to them?”

Ye Kuang turned and faced Elder Yin . With Elder Yin’s current status, even Ye Kuang had to take a step back when he was in Elder Yin’s presence .

Elder Yin scanned the crowd and noticed Ye Mo standing in the crowd . “Let Ye Mo in!” Elder Yin said .

“Who’s Ye Mo?” The crowd began to wonder who Elder Yin had summoned .

“He’s the son of the late Ye Clan’s genius, Ye Qin . But he’s trash, unlike his father . He has been training for five years and still hasn’t broken through one of the Mortal Gates . He’s now an assistant under Elder Yin,” one of the students of Ye Clan said .

“Oh, you mean the trash of Ye Clan!”

“So this is what’s left of Ye Qin’s son, an assistant . ”

“Now that Elder Yin has become a Phase 3 Alchemist, he should get a better assistant . I would love to stay at his side and help him with his daily chores . ”

“Same here . Mo Feng from the Mo Clan used to be an assistant under Elder Huo . Now he’s about to become a Phase 2 Alchemist . ”

As soon as he heard Ye Mo’s name, Ye Kuang’s face tightened . Did Ye Mo do something to upset Elder Yin?

“Ye Xiao, bring Ye Mo in,” Ye Kuang ordered .

“Yes, lord . ” Ye Xiao went into the crowd and brought Ye Mo in . Every single person had their eyes focused on Ye Mo, yet they weren’t able to sense any Spiritual Energy from him .

“He sure is trash . ”

Ye Mo smiled at the malicious remarks made about him . In two months, he’ll show everyone present that he was better than his father .

“Ye Mo, why aren’t you kneeling?” Ye Kuang asked .

“Why should I kneel?” Ye Mo replied .

“You dare act all high and mighty in front of Elder Yin?! You’re his assistant, act like one!” Ye Kuang snarled as he sent a force of wind towards Ye Mo, forcing him to take two steps back .

As soon as Xiao Cao saw what was happening, she quickly ran out and kneeled in front of Ye Kuang with her head on the ground . “Clan lord! Please don’t punish him, I’ll take his place instead . ”

Xiao Cao kept banging her head on the floor until she was about to bleed .

Shocked by Xiao Cao’s actions, Ye Mo quickly pulled her up and said, “Stop it, Xiao Cao . I did not kneel because I’ve done nothing wrong . ”

“At least he has some guts,” Ye Hou snarled . It seemed to him that the clan lord would take care of Ye Mo where he stood .

“What are you doing, clan lord?” Elder Yin asked .

Everyone was shocked by Elder Yin’s interference . Could it be that Ye Mo had not upset him?

Ye Kuang’s eyes and he forced a smile, “Elder Yin, if Ye Mo had done anything to upset you, it’s natural for me to punish him . ”

“Who said that he had upset me? It was all thanks to him that I was able to become a Phase 3 Alchemist . I summoned him because I wanted to thank him in front of the crowd . ”

Everyone gulped, stunned by what Elder Yin had just said . Did he say that he was able to become a Phase 3 because of Ye Mo? When did Ye Mo become an alchemist?

“Impossible!” Ye Kuang shouted . Don’t tell me Ye Mo is gifted as an alchemist . Even Ye Xiao and Ye Di were stunned by the fact the Ye Mo had the potential to become an alchemist, the same Ye Mo that wasted five years and had not even broken through one of his Mortal Gates .

“How is this possible? Elder Yin wanted to thank Ye Mo in front of everyone?” Ye Hou clenched his fists tightly as his face became paler . There shouldn’t be anyone who knew that Ye Mo was regaining his power except for me . Now his ability is going to skyrocket if he gets the attention of Elder Yin . This is bad . I’ve to take care of him as soon as possible .
