Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
There were only a total of three Phase 3 Alchemists in Listone City, naly Elder Huo from the Mo Clan, Qin Mo from the Qin Clan, and the most recent addition, Elder Yin. The other seven alchemists were either Phase 1 or Phase 2 Alchemists. With his promotion to Phase 3, Elder Yin’s status in the city also rose drastically.
“Thank you, President Qin!” Elder Yin cupped his hands and bowed.
Qin Mo handed Elder Yin a pin that designated a Phase 3 Alchemist and said, “You better treat your assistant right, he might rise above you one day.”
“He’s smarter than your average kid. He could very well be the reincarnation of the Great Alchemist himself,” said Elder Yin with a laugh as he rubbed Ye Mo’s head.
Not a peep ca from Ye Mo, but from President Qin’s words, he vaguely felt that President Qin had begun to suspect sothing.
“Now that everything is settled, both of you may see yourself out. I still have to go back to my study on the True Energy Pill,” said Qin Mo as he returned to his book.
Elder Yin left the Alchemist Pavilion with a huge smile on his old face. “Ye Mo, what was that just now?”
“Why Elder Yin, you had just created pills with markings by yourself!” Ye Mo said with a smile.
“Don’t joke with . I’m fully aware of my alchemy skills. The pills must be your doing,” said Elder Yin. His voice was not as proud as it had been in the Alchemy Pavilion, but he spoke to Ye Mo like he was his old friend. Elder Yin fully understood that Ye Mo had the ability to enhance the quality of Spirit Fortifying Pills.
“Fine, let tell you the truth, Elder Yin. It was really who helped you create the pill just now. But please don’t ask how I did it,” replied Ye Mo.
“But what if I want to refine more pills in the future?” Elder asked, smiling like a kid.
“If you follow my instructions in the future, you should be able to keep the Phase 3 title. You of all people should know how noble it is to beco a Phase 3 Alchemist in Listone,” replied Ye Mo.
“Of course, Ye Mo, or should I be calling you Brother Ye? As long as they are within my capabilities, I will follow all of your instructions in the future!” Elder Ye exclaid, still smiling.
“Please, just call Ye Mo like you always do.”
The two returned to the Ye’s mansion, but little did other people know, their relationship had taken a 180 degree turn.
The news of Elder Yin advancing to Phase 3 had spread like wildfire. Ye Kuang had even invited all of the famous people in Listone City to dinner to celebrate Elder Yin’s promotion. Elder Yin had beco one of the most well-known people in Listone City, a Phase 3 Alchemist that was able to create Spirit Fortifying Pills with markings on them.
Even if he stood in front of the Three Major Alliance, the status that Elder Yin held still played an important role among them.
Elder Yin was the star of the day. Even the heads of the four big clans had to treat him with respect, never forgetting to express their willingness to cooperate with him peacefully. Yet Elder Yin understood all that he had received had co from Ye Mo. If Ye Mo were to leave him one day, all of his fa would disappear instantly.
The Ye Clan hosted guests for a few days. Every mber of the Ye Clan was worked to their bones. Only a few people were seen on the training grounds.
Ye Mo was on his way to Ye i’s place to et Xiao Cao. A few days were enough for him to miss her. As Ye Mo passed by the training ground, two other people were walking in the opposite lane.
“Brother Ye! Now that Elder Yin has beco a Phase 3 Alchemist and was able to create pills with markings, we could use his pills to help us break through our limits in two months’ ti! Then we will be able to secure the first two places in the Listone Champion List!”
Ye Hou was talking to the guy beside him. He was actually sucking up to him.
The person walking beside Ye Hou wore a white robe and had long dark hair and perfect facial features. He was very handso, and, naturally, Ye Mo knew exactly who he was: the young master of the Ye Clan, prodigy Ye Changsheng. At only the age of sixteen, he had reached the Spirit Cultivating Fifth Realm.
Ye Changsheng smiled and said, “If I can beco number one in the Listone Champion List, our Ye Clan could have a chance at becoming the strongest clan in all of Listone City.”
“And by then, you’ll be scouted by one of the Three Major Alliance. You have a bright future ahead of you, brother. You might even surpass Ye Qin!”
Almost every genius loved to compare themselves to Ye Qin. Even though Ye Qin had died, his achievents earned him respect amongst all the prodigies.
“Ye Qin was strong, I won’t deny that. But in the end, he never left Tianwu Kingdom. I’m different! One day, I’ll be stepping outside of this kingdom!” Ye Changsheng laughed. No matter how intellectual one was, if they died, then all was lost.
“Of course,” said Ye Hou with a nod.
“You’re not bad yourself actually. You’re now a Spirit Cultivating Third Realm martial artist, and you’ve learned the traditional sword style of Ye Clan, the Six Pillar style. No one from your sa year can defeat you with your current strength,” said Ye Changsheng with a smile.
“But I’m still far from being your opponent.” As soon as Ye Hou finished his sentence, he saw Ye Mo walk towards them and noticed that the servants greeted him with respect. He rembered how Ye Mo had toyed with him a few days ago and could still feel his right hand shaking from pain.
“Brother Ye, that is Ye Qin’s son, Ye Mo. He has been Elder Yin’s helper for quite so ti now,” said Ye Hou. “And now with Elder Yin’s promotion to Phase 3, his status has also risen quite a lot.”
Ye Changsheng examined the incoming Ye Mo but remained quiet. He was not interested in a martial artist that hadn’t even reached the Spirit Cultivating Realm. helper will always remains a helper, regardless of their status.
That’s funny! To think that the likes of you would even dare to try and surpass my father! Ye Mo thought and smirked.
Ye Mo did not even look at them and walked past them. Whether it was Ye Hou or Ye Changsheng, they were all just stepping stones to him.
As Ye Hou saw that Ye Mo did not even greet them, he couldn’t contain his anger. “Did you see that, Brother Ye? After Elder Yin beca a Phase 3 Alchemist, that brat didn’t even greet us!”
“Ignore him. He’s just so minor person who suddenly got a little fa. He’s dood to be an assistant forever. Why should we argue with soone like that?” Ye Changsheng said as they approached the main hall. The main hall was filled with guests. Naturally, the young master had to be there to entertain them.
Ye Hou was sowhat angry at Ye Changsheng for not minding Ye Mo’s disrespectful manners. Ye Chansheng only viewed Ye Mo as soone lower than him, an assistant, but Ye Hou knew that Ye Qin’s treasure was still with him. He was determined to find of a way to steal it.
And with Elder Yin’s new status, Ye Mo also gained so recognition himself. This made it harder for Ye Hou to steal the treasure, which made him decide that he had to dispose of Ye Mo. The sooner, the better.
“Brother Ye, my younger brother Ye Ming will break through to the Spirit Cultivating First Realm tomorrow. I’m thinking of letting him beco a helper for Elder Yin,” said Ye Hou as he followed Ye Changsheng to the hall.
“You’re right. Since Elder Yin has beco a Phase 3 Alchemist, he should have a better helper. Even though your younger brother doesn’t have any raw talent, he should be good enough for Elder Yin. I’ll make a suggestion to Elder Yin once we’ve reached the main hall.”
