Chapter 4

After tidying up the alchemy room, Ye Mo knew that the alchemy room was stocked with many medicinal herbs. Missing one or two wouldn't be a problem as long as Elder Yin didn't check. However, if Elder Yin really did check, he would definitely be furious. Elder Yin was a very strict alchemist who detested the theft of medicinal herbs.

"Ye Mo, you little brat, hurry up and start the fire!" A furious voice echoed, and Elder Yin, with his white hair, rushed into the alchemy room in a hurry.

"Yes!" Ye Mo was very familiar with Elder Yin's temper. As long as he obediently followed his orders, Elder Yin wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for him.

Ye Mo lit the furnace in the alchemy room, and Elder Yin opened the alchemy furnace, throwing the herbs into it one by one, then channeling his own essence energy into the furnace.

Meanwhile, Ye Mo was blowing the fire pitifully. After half an hour, the furnace let out a loud bang, and another batch of Essence Cultivation Pills was successfully refined. A single batch of first-grade cultivation pills, the Essence Cultivation Pills, contained at least 50 pills.

Elder Yin would refine 100 Essence Cultivation Pills in a day, and the remaining time would be spent researching the second-grade cultivation pill, the Essence Consolidation Pill.

Ye Mo's job was just to blow the fire. After blowing for a few hours, Elder Yin gave him some instructions. Ye Mo tidied up the alchemy room, locked it, and returned to his room.

As soon as Ye Mo returned to his room, he sat down in meditation again. Absorbing the essence energy from the heavens and earth, which was colorless, it naturally reached his dantian in a colorless form. The essence energy refined by the dantian was also colorless, and only after cultivating a mental technique would the refined essence energy have a color.

Ye Qing cultivated the Flame Fire Technique, a fire attribute mental technique, and the essence energy he refined was red, with his attacks carrying the ferocity of fire.

The Ascending Dragon Pillar absorbed the essence energy Ye Mo conveyed, and a black essence energy dragon flew out from the black dragon pillar, once again charging towards Ye Mo's right hand acupoint.

Ye Mo's right arm felt as if it were being torn by a dragon, and all the tendons and veins in his right arm began to stir, with the veins on his right arm bulging. Ye Mo endured the pain, refined another black dragon, and charged it towards his right hand acupoint.

"If only two black essence energy dragons could awaken, then the speed at which I open the acupoint would double!"

Ye Mo had also noticed this issue. On this black dragon pillar, countless dragons were coiled. He had only awakened the lowest one and could only use that one. If he could awaken two at the same time, the time it would take to open the acupoint would be halved. As for awakening three essence energy dragons simultaneously, Ye Mo didn't dare to think about it.

"Let's try the Essence Cultivation Pills." Ye Mo took out a bag of Essence Cultivation Pills from a corner of the room. Over the years, while blowing the fire in the alchemy room, Elder Yin would reward him with a few Essence Cultivation Pills when he was in a good mood. Over the past five years, he had collected quite a few Essence Cultivation Pills.

Ye Mo put a few Essence Cultivation Pills in his mouth. The energy of the Essence Cultivation Pills invaded his dantian directly through his throat, merging with the essence energy, which condensed significantly.

A black essence energy dragon flew out from the bottom of the dragon pillar, and then the black dragon coiled above it also awakened, letting out a dragon roar. The two black dragons flew into Ye Mo's dantian simultaneously.

Ye Mo was overjoyed. These black essence energy dragons were completely a form of essence energy, just in the shape of dragons.

"Let's call them Dragon Forces!"

Ye Mo controlled the two Dragon Forces to charge directly towards his right hand acupoint.

"Crack!" The sound of bones breaking echoed, and Ye Mo could feel that the seal of the acupoint had been cracked. In a few more days, he was confident that he could open his right hand acupoint with the two Dragon Forces.

Over the next few days, Ye Mo practiced in the morning and helped Elder Yin blow the furnace in the afternoon. After blowing the furnace, he continued to practice.

"Crack!" The sound of bones breaking echoed again, and the two Dragon Forces charged towards Ye Mo's right hand acupoint, directly breaking through it.

"Opened!" Ye Mo opened his eyes, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at his right arm. On the surface, there was no difference, but he felt an infinite power.

Ye Mo's face showed a proud smile. In just 10 days, he had opened his right hand acupoint. This speed was on par with the geniuses of Shiyan City.

Ye Mo refined two more Dragon Forces, and one of them was directly absorbed by his right hand acupoint. Ye Mo clenched his right fist and punched the ground.

"Boom!" The ground cracked, and the fissures stretched far.

"Ha, this attack is probably equivalent to the strength of two stones."

Moreover, the Dragon Force in his right hand acupoint hadn't disappeared. The other Dragon Force was also absorbed by his right hand acupoint, and the two Dragon Forces were absorbed simultaneously. Ye Mo punched the ground again, and an explosion sounded, like a dragon roaring.

"Boom!" This punch made the house shake, and a large, deep pit was created by Ye Mo.

"Master, what happened?" Uncle Fu rushed in and saw the deep pit on the ground.

"Uncle Fu, I'm no longer the waste they call me. When I become strong, I'll take you to live a good life." Ye Mo rubbed his right arm and smiled.

"Master, was that noise you made?" Uncle Fu asked in surprise.

"Don't tell anyone about this. From now on, we won't be bullied anymore." Ye Mo said.

"Master has indeed inherited Lord Ye Qing's talent!" The honest Uncle Fu exclaimed. That punch just now, even a first-stage Qi Creation Realm warrior couldn't have done it.

Indeed, when a warrior opens five acupoints and reaches the first stage of the Qi Creation Realm, their limbs can deliver the strength of two stones. At the second stage of the Qi Creation Realm, with more condensed essence energy, their attacks can reach the strength of four stones. At the ninth stage of the Qi Creation Realm, they can deliver the strength of eighteen stones.

However, there was some variation in attacks. Some people were naturally strong, so their attacks could be a bit higher.

Absorbing one Dragon Force, Ye Mo's right fist could deliver the strength of two stones, but absorbing two Dragon Forces, it could reach the strength of four stones. In terms of attack, Ye Mo's right fist had barely reached the second stage of the Qi Creation Realm.

After lunch, Ye Mo felt it was about time and headed to the alchemy room.

Over these 20 days of cultivation, he had almost exhausted his Essence Cultivation Pills. Without the help of the Essence Cultivation Pills, it was still difficult for him to refine two Dragon Forces simultaneously with his current strength.

When Ye Mo arrived at the alchemy room, he found that the lock had been forcibly pried open. Ye Mo immediately became furious. In the past, the Ye family disciples would secretly take herbs by climbing through windows, but now they dared to pry open the lock and steal so openly.

When the door opened, Ye Mo saw Ye Xiaotian walking out with a bag of Essence Cultivation Pills, grinning. Ye Xiaotian knew that Elder Yin would be learning at the Alchemist Guild today and wouldn't come to the alchemy room in the afternoon, so he didn't bother climbing the roof.

"Ye Xiaotian, you dare to steal Essence Cultivation Pills?" Ye Mo said angrily.

Seeing Ye Mo, Ye Xiaotian threw him a couple of silver coins and said with a grin, "Ye Mo, Elder Yin won't come to refine today. You can buy a new lock this afternoon, and Elder Yin won't know."

While it was fine for Ye Xiaotian and Ye Ming to secretly take herbs, as Elder Yin rarely asked about them, it was bold of Ye Xiaotian to steal Essence Cultivation Pills. If the Essence Cultivation Pills were missing, Elder Yin would definitely be furious.

In the past, Ye Mo had no strength and could only be bullied. Now that his right hand acupoint was open and he possessed Dragon Forces, he wasn't afraid of Ye Ming, who had only opened the acupoints in both hands.

A cold light flashed, and his right hand acupoint absorbed a black Dragon Force. Ye Mo took the two silver coins and shot them directly at Ye Xiaotian.

"These two silver coins are for your teeth!"
