The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

“Ye Mo has been by my side for three years already, hence he has also conducted a lot of research on alchemy. We often exchange thoughts on alchemy, and if it weren’t for Ye Mo’s reminders, I wouldn’t have been able to synthesize this Fortifying Pill with markings.”

What Elder Yin spoke of again shocked everyone in the room.

Elder Yin would not have become a Rank Three alchemist if it were not for Ye Mo’s reminders and his discussions with him. Did that mean Ye Mo’s alchemy skills were even better than Mo Feng’s? Everyone who was present was shocked and looked at Ye Mo with faces of disbelief.

“Ye Mo, what had just happened was my fault. You may stand together with Changsheng and others,” Ye Kuang admitted

Ye Mo did not pay attention to Ye Kuang, took Xiao Cao’s hand, and said, “Xiao Cao, are you alright?”

Xiao Cao ceased her tears, shook her head, and said: “Master Ye Mo, I am alright, Master Ye Kuang is calling you.”

“Standing with them? I am not interested at all. Elder Yin, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way now,” Ye Mo said while holding Xiao Cao’s hand and walking to the living room door.

Thud! Ye Kuang slammed his fists on the table, exclaiming with a cold voice, “Ye Mo, do not be too arrogant, Elder Yin had only said so just because he recognizes your talent.”

“Is it not okay for me to not want to stay here? I am just a rubbish martial artist, and I am not used to standing with the geniuses of the Ye Clan,” Ye Mo said in an unconcerned tone. He didn’t have any positive feelings towards Ye Kuang and others since the beginning, and he wanted to leave this place even more after Xiao Cao was forced to knock her head against the ground due to those men.

“This Ye Mo is an unsensible person. Brother Ye, let’s teach him a lesson,” Ye Hou said with a light smile.

Ye Changsheng stood up and said to Ye Kuang, “Father, I think that people like Ye Mo who do not obey the rules are not qualified to be Elder Yin’s assistant. Ye Ming has already reached the Spirit Cultivating First Realm, and he also has some prior knowledge of alchemy. I recommend him to be Elder Yin’s assistant instead.”

“Ye Ming has already reached the Spirit Cultivating First Realm?” Ye Kuang was shocked, then he nodded and smiled. “Changsheng is right, let’s replace Ye Mo then.”

“Haha, replacing me? Let’s see if Elder Yin is willing to accept.” Ye Mo laughed sarcastically.

Of course Elder Yin was going to refuse without a doubt. Without Ye Mo, his identity as a Rank Three Alchemist would instantly be uncovered as phony.

“This Ye Mo is too arrogant, despite his usefulness to Elder Yin. Elder Yin has already successfully synthesized the Fortifying Pill with markings, so even without Ye Mo now, Elder Yin will still be able to synthesize the pill.”

“Ye Mo’s temper is a bit like his father.”

Ye Kuang also laughed coldly and said to the Elder Yin, who was by his side, “Elder Yin, this Ye Mo is just too arrogant, not paying you any respect.”

“Well, the young are always a bit hot tempered. If he wants to leave, let him leave. As for the issue of replacing my assistant, please do not speak of it anymore. I’ve raised Ye Mo since his childhood, so I’ll be angry with anyone who wants to replace and take him away from me,” Elder Yin said with great pride.

“Elder Yin? What?” Ye Kuang said hurriedly without hesitation, but paused at once. If Elder Yin were a Rank Two alchemist, he would have disregarded Elder Yin’s feelings and punished Ye Mo right away, but this is not the case anymore. Elder Yin had become a Rank Three alchemist, with a status maybe even higher than himself. He did not dare to neglect Elder Yin’s opinion.

Ye Mo took Xiao Cao’s hand and left the living room in front of everyone’s dumbfounded eyes.

“Xiao Cao, I’ll accompany you to my room. I will look for some Blood Activating Pills for you,” Ye Mo said.

“Master Ye Mo, that was a great opportunity for you to become successful just now. Why did you do that?” Xiao Cao didn’t pay attention to the wound on her forehead; she was distracted, and her face slightly reddened as Ye Mo was her hand.

“Regarding the Clan, I had never had any favorable impressions of them. How much glory did my father bring to the Ye Family during his youth? Despite it all, once my father had fallen ill, how did those people treat my father? If it wasn’t for my powerlessness, I would have left this Ye Clan a long time ago,” Ye Mo said while getting increasingly agitated.

Xiao Cao held Ye Mo tightly in both hands. She knew how much humiliation Ye Mo had been enduring over the years, but she was helpless and could only hide silently in a corner. She was afraid of implicating Ye Mo with her clumsiness.

“Master Ye Mo, in light of your talents in alchemy and Elder Yin’s recognition of you, you have to work hard!” Xiao Cao said.

“Xiao Cao, I don’t really appreciate alchemy that much. With enough time, I will bring you and Uncle Fu away from the Ye Clan, and we live a prosperous life together,” Ye Mo said.

“As long as Master Ye Mo is well, it doesn’t matter if Xiao Cao tires or suffers.” Xiao Cao shook her head.

“Such a silly girl.” Ye Mo gently rubbed Xiao Cao’s head, at the same time vowing in his heart that he must help Xiao Cao and Uncle Fu live better lives, at least so neither of them would have to work as servants any longer.

Ye Mo used some Blood Activating Pills to treat Xiao Cao, and Xiao Cao’s forehead fully healed. For this reason, Xiao Cao was happy for a while, as who would want to have a scar on the forehead? Ye Mo stared at Xiao Cao, who was jumping up and down with a smile on his face.

After Xiao Cao left, Ye Mo took out the incomplete book of martial technique. Ye Mo quickly looked through the book and found out that there were several parts missing.

This book of martial technique was missing a few pages in every chapter, so many of the tricks were missing pieces.

Ye Mo knew that this martial technique was called the Formation-Breaking Spear technique, which is a spear martial technique created by a Tianwu Kingdom marshall. The technique was designated to break enemy army formations, allowing one person, among thousands of enemies, with only a spear to kill enemies and captivate enemy generals from a thousand miles away with ease.

“This fragmented Formation-Breaking Spear technique grants one the ability to directly decapitate enemy generals in the middle of an army. Perhaps this is a martial technique of a Mid-grade Mortal Level, but unfortunately it has fallen to pieces.”

Ye Mo could not help but be disappointed. If it were the first or last half that was incomplete, Ye Mo could have learned a trick or two; one martial technique trick of the Mid-grade Mortal Level would certainly be a lot stronger than a complete Spiritual Level martial technique. However, this book of martial technique was missing so many pages, how would he possibly be able to learn anything?

“If this was a complete martial technique, and I had a nice spear, my combat power will definitely soar.”

Ye Mo came up with an idea. His dragon power could observe alchemists’ control of Yuanli during pill synthesis, so he might be able to simulate the martial technique on his own.

Ye Mo immediately took action after the thought. He first provoked three dragon powers to his brain mortal gate, which resulted in an increase nerve reaction speed. He then started to flip through the pages of the book.

The tricks of the Formation-Breaking Spear technique started to imprint in his mind. Although the tricks were incomplete, through Ye Mo’s increased nerve reaction speed, he could see the tricks automatically play out in his mind. Nevertheless, given that the spear technique is fragmented, despite its great power, the tricks do not flow together smoothly.

“Let me use another dragon power to see if I can simulate the whole spear technique.”

Ye Mo transferred his last dragon power to his mind’s mortal gate, and Ye Mo’s nerve reaction speed was accelerated once again, but it was followed by violent stings of pain. Simultaneously, the complete spear technique was also forming in his mind.

“Ah!”

All of a sudden, there came a wave of intense pain in his head. Ye Mo screamed aloud in pain, but in that moment, at the same time, the four dragon powers dissipated from his mind’s mortal gate.

“Damn, I can’t bear the full strength of the four dragon powers with my current physical strength. I almost completely simulated the full spear technique just now.”

As with the right hand mortal gate, with Ye Mo’s current physical state, hce ould only withstand three dragon powers, and bearing four dragon powers caused excessive damage to his body.

“It seems like I will be able to simulate the complete Formation-Breaking Spear technique after reaching the Spirit Cultivating Realm, but it is already enough for me to fight with this half of the spear technique. I should probably start to look for a weapon that’s suitable for me.”
