“Master, what is this True Energy Pill for?” Ye Mo asked in a low voice.

“This pill is for breaking through your limits. It can help martial artists that are stuck in the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm to reach the True Energy Realm,” replied Elder Yin.

A strong warrior in the True Energy Realm must have mastered the spiritual energy before starting to turn those forces into true energy.

These warriors had full control over their own strength. For example, the warriors in the Energy Shaping Realm gathered spiritual energy in their palms to strike their enemies while warriors of the True Energy Realm gathered the power of the true energy to not only send enemies flying but also feel the attack patterns of the enemy.

Martial artists of the True Energy Realm could control anything. The true energy that emitted from their body helped them to master everything around them.

“This kind of pill exists? Doesn’t this mean that everyone will be able to step into the True Energy Realm?” Ye Mo exclaimed in surprise. Every realm had its own nine layers that acted as barriers. If this pill had the ability to help people to break through these barriers with ease, then the pill was too overpowered.

“Calm down, young one. This Nine Layer Pill and True Energy Pill are more like accessories to help people break through their limits,” said Qin Mo as he ignored the other three in the room and started to read again. “It still requires the realization of the martial artist himself. If there’s nothing else you would like to know, then scram.”

“Let’s go back to Ye Clan for now, Ye Mo. It seems that President Qin is quite busy at the moment,” said Elder Yin apologetically.

Don’t even think of leaving. I’m going to embarrass you to death today! Elder Huo thought to himself. He smirked as he turned around to face Qin Mo and crossed his arms. “Mr. President, Elder Yin has mentioned that he was unable to create the Spirit Fortifying Pill with markings due to his injuries. Now that he has recovered, he should easily be able to create a Spirit Fortifying Pill with markings.”

“Oh, is that so?” Qin Mo exclaimed with slight surprise. He turned and looked at Elder Yin.

As Ye Mo noticed that Elder Yin was not going to take any action, he decided to take out the Spirit Fortifying Pills with markings on them and said, “President Qin, please have a look. These Spirit Fortifying Pills were created by my master. If you don’t believe us, then we can show you how my master makes them right here, right now.”

Only a glance at the Spirit Fortifying Pill in Ye Mo’s hand made Qin Mo stand up and run towards Ye Mo. His face was filled with surprise. The Spirit Fortifying Pills that Ye Mo was holding were of high quality. Even Qin Mo himself was not able to produce pills of such quality. Could it be that these pills were really created by Elder Yin? But with the skills that Elder Yin had shown a while ago, he should not have been at this level yet.

“Master.” Ye Mo glanced at his master, sending him a signal. Elder Yin had no choice but to act strong and walk towards the cauldron. If he was going to act, then he should act like a master alchemist.

“He’s right, president. These pills were all made by me,” said Elder Yin with dignity.

Ye Mo was dying inside as he saw Elder Yin lying like it was nothing. Man, Elder Yin sure knows how to lie better than me.

“Pills of this caliber are rare. Please, use this cauldron here. I want to see how you made them,” said Qin Mo. Of course, he was half suspicious of Elder Yin’s skill. The only way for him to confirm it was to see it with his own eyes.

Hmph! Time for you to embarrass yourself! Elder Huo grinned and stood aside to wait for the outcome.

“Master, let me pick the herbs,” offered Ye Mo. He found all the herbs needed for the pill, threw them into the cauldron, and put the lid on. Then, he began to prepare the fire for the pill refinement. Qin Mo nodded his head as he noticed the boy’s movements were that of a skilled alchemist.

This kid is too skilled to be an assistant!

“Master, I’m going to start the fire.”

As soon as Ye Mo finished his sentence, the fire began to blaze. He secretly infused three channels of the Dark Dragon Energy into the cauldron and another into his right hand. As all four powers exploded, the flame beneath the cauldron shot up like dancing flames and the temperature in the cauldron began to rise.

Elder Yin quickly placed both of his palms on the cauldron, infusing it with fire red Spiritual Energy.

Elder Huo began to worry that Elder Yin might have had the skills to produce a Spirit Fortifying Pill with markings on it.

“Refining a pill requires the alchemist to focus both his mind and spirit. Even though the technique is important, the power of the alchemist’s spirit must not be ignored too. Yet Elder Yin has not improved since the last time I saw his skill,” Qin Mo murmured. Qin Mo was both an alchemist and an Energy Shaping Realm martial artist. He was able to identify Elder Yin’s control over his spiritual energy.

“Wait, something’s not right. What are those three channels of Dark Energy that look like dragons?”

Qin Mo was shocked by the three Dark Dragon Energies that were circling the cauldron and dancing in the flame. When the process was almost complete, the energies infused themselves into the pills. With that, a total of 10 pills were completed under the red spiritual energy, and on them were clear markings.

Only Qin Mo and Ye Mo knew what was happening under the lid.

Boom! A loud explosion came from within the cauldron and pulled Qin Mo back to reality. Elder Yin had withdrawn his hands from the cauldron and was staring at them anxiously.

“So it’s done. Let me check if there are markings on the pills or not,” said Elder Huo. He smiled while he rubbed his hands together.

Elder Yin clearly heard the insult in Elder Huo’s voice. Yet there was nothing he could do except wish for a miracle to happen.

Just as Elder Huo was about to open the lid, the quiet Qin Mo began to speak, “There’s no need to confirm it. Elder Yin has successfully created pills with markings on them.” He said this as if Elder Yin had succeeded without any doubts.

“That’s not possible, I don’t believe it!” Elder Huo questioned.

Even Elder Yin was surprised by Qin Mo’s comment. Did I really succeed in creating pills with markings on them? But President Qin’s spiritual energy is stronger than any of us. He could have seen what was happening in the cauldron when I was making the pills. If President Qin believes that there are marked pills inside, then it must be true!

Elder Yin thought of the possibilities and turned to smile at Ye Mo in secret. Is this the kid’s doing? But where did he learn to create pills with markings on them?

“Hey, if you don’t believe us, why don’t you open the lid and check them yourself?” Ye Mo challenged as he folded his arms in front of his chest.

“Fine! Then I’ll open it!” Elder Huo pushed open the cauldron and retrieved some of the Spirit Fortifying Pills. There were clear markings on the pills. To any alchemist, these markings were very appealing. They reflected the skills of the alchemist who created them.

“There are markings! Ha! You old fool! Now do you understand?! I’m able to create pills with markings on them!” Elder Yin laughed like he had lost his mind. Maybe he was trying to let out all the pent up anger from being embarrassed by Elder Huo.

Elder Huo stood beside the cauldron, shocked. He turned and accused Elder Yin of cheating. “Impossible! Impossible! You just became a Phase 2 Alchemist not long ago. It’s impossible for you to make pills with markings in such a short time! You must’ve cheated!”

“Elder Huo, my master refined the pills right in front of you and President Qin. Even if you were unable to notice my master cheating, I’m sure President Qin would’ve noticed it. Are you saying that you doubt President Qin’s skills?” Ye Mo replied coldly.

“You smart little brat! Fine! I admit I’ve lost this time!” Elder Huo threw up his hands and left, his face filled with anger.

“Elder Yin, quite the helper you have there.”

After analyzing the situation for some time, Qin Mo believed that these high-quality pills were created with the dragon-shaped energy that he had just seen. That energy definitely didn’t belong to Elder Yin. The only explanation was that they belonged to Ye Mo.

Yet Qin Mo did not expose the truth. He had no reason to. The dragon energies were beyond his understanding. All he could have done was to go and consult the castellan.

“Right?” Elder Yin hugged his assistant. “I’ve taught him quite a lot, and he was always eager to learn new stuff.”

“Since you were able to create Spirit Fortifying Pills with markings on them, I now promote you to a Phase 3 Alchemist. Congratulations on becoming the third Phase 3 Alchemist in Limestone City.”
