Chapter 96
Ye Mo walked straight towards the stall that was selling Beast Cores, but he could not find the Rank One Ice Beast Core he was looking for .
The core was so rare that even the Hundred Treasure Pavilion couldn’t get their hands on one .
Just as Ye Mo was about to turn and leave, the weird Half-Energy Shaping Realm elder walked up to him .
“Long time no see,” the elder greeted . “I’ve heard that you’re looking for a Rank One Ice Beast Core . We happen to have one with us, but it’s in another city . If you want it, we can have it send over as soon as possible . But you should understand how rare they really are . How much are you willing to pay for it?”
“100 refined Fortifying Pills should be enough, right?” Ye Mo offered .
“Of course,” the elder replied as his lips twitched slightly . “I’ll have someone send the core to the Xiao mansion in three days . ”
After Ye Mo left, the elder went into the staff room where a lady was waiting behind a curtain .
“M’lady,” the elder greeted with respect . “Everything has been settled . ”
“Ye Mo, this is the best I can do for you,” the girl said . “If you can defeat Man Qi, then maybe, just maybe, that you can fulfill your promise . ”
Ye Mo went back to the Xiao mansion and started to focus on his training using the Fortifying Pills .
The Five-Elements Core began to circle around the Rising Dragon Pillar as they became denser and denser .
With over 2,000 Fortifying Pills in his Dimensional Bracelet, he wouldn’t have to worry about getting low on stock .
His training abilities had clearly become faster and more efficient with the help of the pills .
Even if he did not advance to the next level, the size of the element cores had expanded tremendously . Ye Mo could even feel that the Fire-Element Core was about to break .
“Ling’er, what’s happening?” Ye Mo asked . “Why are there cracks on the core? Is it going to explode?”
“This is also my first time seeing something this weird,” Ling’er said while shaking her head .
With the countless uncertainties around the cores in his bodies, Ye Mo would have to wait until he advanced to a higher level to fully understand the Cultivation method that he was training for .
For the next three days, Ye Mo focused on training his Cultivation Method and mastering the Formation-Breaking Spear Technique and the Will of the Sky Blood Spear .
Ye Mo finally got the Ice Beast Core on the third day . He handed over 100 Fortifying Pills to the courier from the Hundred Treasures Pavilion when it arrived .
Ye Mo locked himself in a secret chamber and told everyone to not disturb him as he would only have three tries with each core . But since the Heavenly Frost Charm was a higher level Rank One Charm, Ye Mo might only get two tries out of the core .
Ye Mo laid a piece of blank charm on the table as he kept picturing the runes for the Heavenly Frost Charm in his head . Not only did Ye Mo have to control his energy well, he also had to worry about the backlash as it was the most dangerous part of being a Charm Master .
Some Charm Masters would sometimes go beyond their skill level and try to create charms they weren’t ready to create . Most of them would get injured by the backlash from trying the impossible .
Ye Mo’s face hardened as he held the egg-sized core in his hand . He took a deep breath and crushed the core .
The core belonged to a Frozen Sabretooth, a beast of the Half-Energy Shaping Realm that even Energy Shaping Realm warriors were afraid of .
Ice blue energy seeped out from his palm and formed a fog above him as the temperature of the chamber dropped drastically .
Ye Mo focused the Wood Energy on his fingers and pierced the fog . Ye Mo could instantly feel the cold energy spread throughout his body . If not for the Dragon Blood and Wood Energy in his body, he would’ve turned into an ice sculpture immediately .
Ye Mo pulled out an energy string from the fog and started to draw on the blank charm with it . The whole chamber was quiet . The only sound that could be heard was the scratching sound made from him drawing on the charm . The chamber was so cold that the sweat on Ye Mo that had formed on his forehead froze instantly .
Just as Ye Mo was about to finish the last rune, Ye Mo suddenly saw himself standing on an ice-covered field as a huge ice tornado raged towards him .
It was the most important step of creating the Heavenly Frost Charm . Ye Mo would have to stand his ground against the tornado .
The tornado struck Ye Mo as he stood still in it . Ye Mo could feel the freezing temperature from the tornado, but it was a mental attack, which meant that the Rising Dragon Pillar could not absorb it . Ye Mo had to fight against it with his own willpower .
Being a Charm Master required strong willpower . Without it, a person could be hurt by the mental attack when creating a charm . Some could suffer minor damage to their mind’s Mortal Gate while others might even lose their powers forever .
The tornado kept tearing through Ye Mo as ice began to form around him . He kept supplying his mind with Dragon Energies to withstand the attack .
As soon as one of the 10 Dragon Energies in his mind was depleted, he quickly summoned another from his Energy Center . A total of 20 Dragon Energies had been used as the tornado passed through Ye Mo .
Ye Mo let out a breath of relief as soon as he finished the last rune . Even if the mental attack happened in an instant, Ye Mo felt like he’d just had a close encounter with death .
“This should be it, right?” Ye Mo said as he looked at the complex runes that emitted a scary, cold aura .
“It’s the Heavenly Frost Charm,” Ling’er said . “But it’s not powerful enough to harm Man Qi . It should be strong enough when the mental attack requires you to use 40 Dragon Energies to withstand it . But remember, this is your last chance . ”
“My last chance, huh?” Ye Mo said and pulled another string out of the fog .
