The Fire Dragon Pill, a rank five pill, could only be refined by a Phase Five Alchemist, with strength past the Transcendence Realm.
That kind of Pill was made by using the Fire Dragon blood. After swallowing it, the body would retain a trace of Fire Dragon Blood, and the user’s battling power would skyrocket.
Ye Mo’s Book of Pill Lord contained records of methods of refining Rank One to Rank Five Pills. Although the Book of Pill Lord had disappeared because of Ling’er’s death, Ye Mo had memorized the methods to refine some strong Pills. Among them was the Fire Dragon Pill.
“How about it?” Nangong Yurou said. “If you give me the ten Desolate Ancient Pearls, then I’ll give you the Fire Dragon Pill. After ten days, if Ye Mo doesn’t return the pearls to you, then this Fire Dragon Pill will belong to the Hell Dao Palace.”
If Nangong Yurou’s father, Nangong Wudi, heard what she said, he would spit blood from anger. There were only a few Rank Five Pills in the entire Zone of Desolation.
“Ok!” Gu Yuan nodded. He gathered ten Desolate Ancient Pearls with his brothers.
After receiving the Desolate Ancient Pearls, Nangong Yurou gave the Fire Dragon Pill to the Hell Dao Palace disciples without a care.
“You can go with them now. I’m going to act alone.” Ye Mo said faintly.
“You damn fool,” Nangong Yarou said. “I helped you with such a big favor, and you don’t even thank me. I know you want to save the young madam and win recognition from the young society head, but you must act according to your strength.” She crossed her arms. Originally, she had thought this hostile fellow would thank her. She didn’t expect him to not show any appreciation at all.
“I will always remember your kindness in my heart. If I come back alive, I will agree to any requests you have,” Ye Mo said, before leaving towards the distant mountains.
You damn fellow, you had better come back alive, Nangong Yurou thought silently.
...
The dark mountains were always burning. They were endless and deserted, desolate from the flames. The few demonic beasts and martial artists who could survive in such an environment could only be considered bizarre.
The black-robed man earlier must have had a strange encounter. Only after refining the Pure Demonic Flame did he dare act so recklessly with Gu Yuan.
Since it was the First Heaven Society that kidnapped Yue Yue, their purpose is clear, Ye Mo thought. They want to steal more Desolate Ancient Pearls, and then let all of their people pass the trial.
Ye Mo walked inside the dark mountains. The Six Dao Palaces were only given 10 days to save the young madam. Ye Mo had to increase his strength within these ten days, or even he wouldn’t confident of his ability to save Xiao Yue from the First Heaven Society.
In the Desolate Ancient World, everywhere there’s this strange feeling, Ye Mo thought. Although crises and opportunities coexist, not many people would risk their lives for it. After all, it’s not easy to cultivate to the Spirit Devour Realm. Another step forward would mean going beyond the beaten path.
Ao ao!
Xiao Jing’s voice rang as it jumped out of Ye Mo’s arms. It cried a few times at Ye Mo before guiding Ye Mo in one direction. Not long after, Xiao Jing stopped at the entrance of a cave.
Ao! Ao!
Xiao Jing turned around and cried at Ye Mo, then walked into the cave. Ye Mo followed Xiao Jing into the cave. It was very hot inside. There was an opening towards the right side of the passage that emitted a bright flare.
A person and a beast rushed into the passage without saying a word. They stood at the entrance of the passage. Ye Mo saw that inside there was a huge Magma Fire Pool. He could smell a faint trace of blood. Above the fire pool were piles of golden bones. Corpses lay on the edges of the Magma Fire Pool.
Ye Mo slowly walked in. He looked around but saw nothing unusual, though he couldn’t explain the number of corpses. Xiao Jing hadn’t had a goal in bringing Ye Mo here. It was only because there were a few Spirit Weapons.
Ye Mo counted nine Spirit Weapons. Adding the one from the black-robed man, it would be a total of ten.
“Xiao Jing, how did you know there were Spirit Weapons here?” Ye Mo asked as he rubbed Xiao Jing’s head. Unfortunately, Ye Mo could not understand Xiao Jing. He could communicate simply.
“Hong Ling, this cave is relatively hidden. Go ahead and absorb all the Weapon Spirits from these Spirit Weapons!” Ye Mo began to communicate with Hong Ling.
“Ye Mo, there’s someone outside!” As soon as Hong Ling said these words, Ye Mo saw ten people in black robes rush through the entrance.
These ten men in black robes all wore capes. Ye Mo could clearly feel their strong murderous intent radiating off of them.
Ao ao!
Xiao Jing stood in front of Ye Mo, looking angrily at the black-robed people in front of it.
“More people from the First Heaven Society?” Ye Mo stood up, holding his Sky Blood Spear. His eyes became serious.
“Second Clan Leader, this little demonic beast seems to be the Jade Crystal Beast. Who would’ve thought it was taken by Ye Mo as a battling partner,” One of the black-robed men said with a trace of fear looking at the small beast in front of Ye Mo.
“Humph! This Jade Crystal Beast has not yet become a Qi Marquis. No need to be afraid,” the lead man, probably the Second Clan Leader, said. “As long as we kill Ye Mo, the Jade Crystal Beast will be ours. When the time comes, we’ll give it to our society head, who will be pleased. We might even be rewarded with a Transcendence Golden Body for our refinement.”
“Yes, killing Ye Mo would be a great deed.” These black-robed men were all going to kill Ye Mo.
“People from the First Heaven Society, I have no grievances with you, why do you want to kill me?” While he spoke, Ye Mo began to observe the terrain. But apart from the huge Magma Fire Pool in the middle, there was only one cave entrance.
“You’re a dead man either way,” the Second Clan Leader said coldly. “I might as well tell you. If it weren’t for you, the Devil Refining Gourd would have been ours. You ruined our society head’s plan. You should die for that.”
“Has the Spirit Hound Clan been subdued by the First Heaven Society?” Ye Mo was stunned as he remembered Lin Wei and the black-robed woman that stood beside him.
“You think ten of you can kill me? You underestimate me!” Ye Mo sneered as 120,000 streams of Caged Dragon Power broke out. He waved his Blood Spear. One stream of 30 Blood Spearlight headed towards the black-robed men with a fierce aura.
“Who would have thought your Long Spear is a Bejewelled Weapon. No wonder you were able to kill the Fourth Clan Leader!” Facing the Spearlight attack, the Second Clan Leader turned his palms and a glimmer of white light flashed in front of the ten people.
This light was colorful. It felt like the void was breaking open. A fluorescent ancient umbrella opened and covered all ten people.
The umbrella was also a Bejewelled Weapon. Its red light filled the air. It was engraved with ancient runes, penetrated by a trace of aridity and simplicity.
Boom!
The umbrella blocked Ye Mo’s strongest move. The entire cave began to shake violently. The attack was completely stopped.
“Ye Mo, run away,” Hong Ling’s voice sounded in Ye Mo’s head. “This umbrella is a Red Demon Fan. It’s a Low-grade Bejewelled Weapon. And the man using it has a cultivation level higher than yours. Unless I upgrade to a Mid-grade Bejewelled Weapon, you cannot break through his defense.” Ye Mo frowned.
“You all go block the entrance. I’ll kill this Ye Mo myself!” The Second Clan Leader retracted the Red Demon Fan. The defensive Bejewelled Weapon became an attacking Bejewelled Weapon. The Red Demon Fan crossed the firelight as it stabbed towards Ye Mo.
Xiao Jing cried a few times, then turned into a stream of Golden Light, and attacked the Second Clan Leader.
“The demonic beast dares to block me.” The Second Clan Leader coldly sneered as he waved his Red Demon Fan. He knocked Xiao Jing away, it crashed into the wall.
Boom!
As Xiao Jing hit the wall, some mechanism was triggered. The huge boulder dropped from the cave opening, blocking the entrance.
