Chapter 9

The conflicts among the Ye Clan's young disciples, as long as no one dies, are generally not reported to the Punishment Hall. Although Ye Ming killed a Qi Formation Realm servant, it was just a minor matter for him.

Moreover, such matters, Ye Ming wouldn't dare report to the higher-ups. If the higher-ups knew that Ye Mo had such strength, they would certainly give Ye Mo important tasks. Ye Ming wasn't that foolish.

Even if Ye Ming wanted to deal with him, he would take matters into his own hands. If he couldn't win, telling his father would be extremely embarrassing. If the young disciples of other clans found out, they would laugh their heads off.

Therefore, Ye Mo wasn't worried about being retaliated against by Ye Ming in the near future. As long as he could resolve the issue with the Fusion Pill Powder, he could focus on his cultivation. Once he opened the mystical gate in his brain, he could take on ten people like Ye Ming.

Ye Mo meditated for an hour, using a first-grade healing pill, the Blood Circulation Pill, to completely recover from his injuries. For martial artists, as long as the dantian isn't damaged, any injury can be healed with pills.

The Hundred Treasures Pavilion is a holy place for martial artists, where martial techniques, weapons, pills, and talismans can be bought as long as you have the money. It is said that the Hundred Treasures Pavilion is not owned by any of the families in Stone Rock City, but by the Qi Family, the wealthiest family in the Imperial Capital. The Qi Family's influence spans the entire Tianwu Kingdom, and their power is immense.

Ye Mo walked out of the back door of the Ye Clan and circled a few streets. A magnificent building then appeared before him, with the three large characters "Hundred Treasures Pavilion" prominently displayed. The building had three floors, and each floor was guarded by Qi Formation Realm or even Form Transformation Realm experts.

Ye Mo directly entered the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, where there were many counters, each displaying various materials, which were very eye-catching.

A curvaceous woman in a qipao slowly approached. Her ample bosom was almost spilling out, and her waist twisted seductively, with a glimpse of her legs visible.

Ye Mo immediately focused on this mature and sexy woman. She exuded charm at every moment, and many people around her were drawn to her.

The woman saw Ye Mo enter and smiled, asking, "Little brother, what do you need?"

"I'm not that little," Ye Mo replied.

The woman glanced at Ye Mo's legs with interest and said flirtatiously, "Little brother, you're quite amusing, aren't you? You're not even an adult yet!"

"Truly a seductive demon, my father said not to look at pretty women," Ye Mo said, looking at the woman. "I want to buy Fusion Pill Powder."

"Little brother, our Hundred Treasures Pavilion has sold out of Fusion Pill Powder. If you want to buy it, you'll have to wait a few days," the woman said apologetically, her face full of charm.

The surrounding shopkeepers were surprised; how did the beautiful and seductive Qi Ying suddenly take a liking to this?

"Sold out? Really?" Ye Mo asked in surprise. The Hundred Treasures Pavilion is the largest merchant house in Stone Rock City; how could it run out of stock?

"Yesterday afternoon, the Qin Family bought all of our Fusion Pill Powder," Qi Ying said with a smile.

The four major families in Stone Rock City are the Qin, Ye, Xiao, and Mo families. Besides these four, there are also some smaller families, but compared to the Qin, Ye, Xiao, and Mo families, they are like dwarfs next to giants.

The Qin Family is the leading family among the four, the most powerful in Stone Rock City. Qin Hao, the head of the Qin Family, is also the city lord of Stone Rock City, and his sister is an imperial concubine, making them royal relatives.

"Why would the Qin Family buy so much Fusion Pill Powder?" Ye Mo was puzzled. The amount of Fusion Pill Powder needed for pill refinement is very precise. One liang of Fusion Pill Powder is enough to refine hundreds of pills. Is the Qin Family going crazy with pill refinement?

Without Fusion Pill Powder, Ye Mo had to leave. However, just as he was about to leave, a talisman paper on a counter caught his attention. The talisman paper was emitting a fluctuation of yuan energy. On the paper, there was a talisman pattern drawn with yuan energy. Ye Mo couldn't understand the pattern, but he could feel the yuan energy fluctuation, which carried a hint of lightning power.

"Talisman!" Ye Mo's eyes lit up, and these two words appeared in his mind. His father, Ye Qing, was sealed by a talisman that sealed the dantian.

Although the Lingwu Continent has several mainstream secondary professions, such as alchemists and weapon refiners, the most prestigious profession is the talisman master. Talisman masters can refine various talismans with different effects, and some can even use talismans to control beasts in battle.

In the vast Stone Rock City, with a population of a million, there are only three talisman masters.

"What kind of talisman is this?" Ye Mo asked curiously as he approached.

"Little brother, this is a first-grade lightning attack talisman. It contains lightning power. If you place it on your palm, you can use it for one lightning attack, which is very powerful. If used by a martial artist who cultivates a lightning attribute heart method, the power is even greater. Generally, martial artists below the fifth level of Qi Formation Realm dare not face this lightning attack head-on," the shop assistant explained carefully.

"Isn't this too powerful? How much does this talisman cost?" Ye Mo asked.

"One tael of gold."

Ye Mo was immediately defeated by the high price. Talisman masters indeed make money; they can casually refine a talisman and sell it for one tael of gold. Ye Mo wouldn't use the two taels of gold he had to buy this talisman. If he didn't bring back the Fusion Pill Powder, Elder Yin would definitely be furious.

"Let's go back and check again tomorrow!"

Ye Mo returned to his room, and Xiao Cao was also brought back by Ye Mei to her residence. Although Ye Mei had the temperament of a young lady, she was very kind to her maids. Moreover, Xiao Cao was diligent and kind, and no young lady with a bad temper would dislike her.

Uncle Fu had already prepared dinner for him. After finishing his dinner, Ye Mo entered his cultivation again. Without using the Yuan Nourishing Pill, Ye Mo could now awaken two dragon forces, but his cultivation speed had slowed down. It was still difficult to open the mystical gate in his brain in a short time.

Throughout the night, Ye Mo used the two dragon forces to impact the mystical gate in his brain. Impacting the mystical gate in the brain causes dizziness, which is why many martial artists leave it until last.

Ye Mo couldn't bear it and chose to impact the mystical gates in his legs. Once his brain recovered, he would impact the brain's mystical gate again. After the two dragon forces disappeared, the Dragon Ascension Pillar would automatically absorb the heaven and earth's yuan energy to refine two more dragon forces.

The next day, Ye Mo practiced martial techniques in the morning and then rushed to the pill refinement room after lunch. Ye Mo opened the pill refinement room and waited for Elder Yin.

"Ye Mo, hurry up and start the fire! Today I need to refine ten batches of Yuan Nourishing Pills," a rough voice came from outside as Elder Yin entered with a large amount of herbs.

"Why do you need to refine so many Yuan Nourishing Pills today?" Ye Mo asked.

"The Stone Rock List ranking competition will be held in two months. The clan leader asked me to refine more Yuan Nourishing Pills for the young masters to take, so they can make breakthroughs before the competition."

As Elder Yin spoke, he felt something was off and immediately shouted, "Why are you asking so many questions, little pill child? Hurry up and start the fire. By the way, did you buy the Fusion Pill Powder?"

The Stone Rock List is a ranking list for martial artists under 16 years old. The top ten in Stone Rock City can enter the Stone Rock List.

The four major families are polite to each other on the surface, but they are always competing in secret. The ranking on the Stone Rock List is also a form of competition. Moreover, the top five martial artists on the Stone Rock List can be noticed by the three major alliances, with limitless prospects.

"Elder Yin, I went to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion today, and the Fusion Pill Powder was all bought by the Qin Family," Ye Mo said.

Elder Yin's face remained unchanged, and he continued to shout, "You better get me the Fusion Pill Powder quickly. Without it, I can't refine the Yuan Nourishing Pills. If I can't, I'll take you to the Punishment Hall and charge you with embezzlement. Hurry up and start the fire!"

"Hmph, when I get the Fusion Pill Powder, I'm done with this!" Ye Mo muttered to himself, obediently starting the fire. As a disciple of the Ye Clan, Ye Changsheng and others don't have to work and can enjoy the Yuan Nourishing Pills and Yuan Nourishing Pills, while he has to blow the fire here.

Strength, everything is because of strength.
