“Let’s go, Ye Mo.” Elder Yin did not retort to the old man’s taunt but instead urged Ye Mo to leave. But Ye Mo felt guilty as he was responsible for Elder Yin’s humiliation at the Alchemist Guild.

Ye Mo thought of all the time he had spent with Elder Yin. Other than Elder Yin’s temper, he’d actually been treating Ye Mo well. Now that Elder Yin was humiliated by others, how could Ye Mo not get angry?

“Master, is it possible that you were low on energy when you were taking the guild’s test? It’s possible since you just created a whole cauldron of Fortifying Pills with Pill’s Markings on them,” Ye Mo suggested.

“Master?” Ye Mo asked again as Elder Yin did not respond. Elder Yin was stunned by what Ye Mo had said and didn’t know how to respond. His old face was full of shock.

“A whole cauldron of Fortifying Pills with Pill’s Markings? Do you think it’s that easy?” The old man in grey robe questioned his assistant, who was spouting a bunch of nonsense in front of him. “There are a total of 10 alchemists in the Alchemist Guild, but only the guild master was only able to create them. Even he cannot achieve a 100% success rate. Are you telling me that this old man is better than the guild master?”

“Ye Mo, stop spouting nonsense. Let’s go.” Elder Yin pulled Ye Mo away. He understood how proficient he was in pill refining. He’d only just learned how to create Fortifying Pills. It was impossible for him to create Fortifying Pills with Pill’s Markings in such a short time. Ye Mo was only trying to pressure Elder Huo, but Elder Huo was still a Phase 3 Alchemist who could create Rank Three pills.

“Master, if he’s criticizing your skills, that means he’s also criticizing my skills. If you don’t want to punish him for that, then let me help you out. I’ll show him what a Fortifying Pill with Pill’s Markings looks like,” Ye Mo said.

“Stop it, Ye Mo. I haven’t even taught you any pill refining technique. It’s impossible for you to create pills yet,” Elder Yin said.

Elder Huo heard what Ye Mo had said and smiled coldly. “What a brat! Even my apprentice Mo Feng wouldn’t dare say he has the skills to create Fortifying Pills, and here you are saying you could create them with Pill’s Markings? Looks like you’re no different from your master, always boasting!” Elder Huo said.

“Mo Feng? Is he any good? Why haven’t I heard of him yet? He’s at most a trust in front of me,” Ye Mo said coldly.

“Elder Yin! Only if your apprentice’s refining skill was as good as his mouth, then he might be worth teaching!” Elder Huo said as he turned to leave. A Phase 3 Alchemist arguing with a 15 year old boy was unprofessional.

“Master, these five pills are the Fortifying Pills that you had created last night. There are Pill’s Markings on all of them,” Ye Mo said as he took out five Fortifying Pills that he had further refined using the Dragon Energies. All of them had clear markings on them.

Elder Yin looked at the pills in Ye Mo’s hand. He was surprised by what he was seeing. How did this kid that has only been tending flames all this time create pills of this caliber? Does he have the talent to create such pills?

That was not possible. Mo Feng had already been acknowledged as a genius for being able to create Rank Two Fortifying Pills at his age. It wasn’t possible for Ye Mo to achieve something greater than that.

“Did you think that would scare me?” Elder Huo naturally doesn’t believe what Ye Mo had said.

“Then let’s go to the guild again. My master will recreate these pills in front of you and the guild master,” Ye Mo said with confidence.

“Fine! Do you think I’m intimidated by you?” Elder Huo swung his sleeves and headed straight towards the Alchemist Guild first.

“What are you doing, Ye Mo? I tried it just now. It’s impossible for me to create pills of this level,” Elder Yin whispered, afraid that Elder Huo would hear what he was saying. Elder Yin was already at an age where his dignity mattered the most.

“Elder Yin, you’ll just have to focus on refining the pills later. I’ll take care of the rest for you. Be ready for a huge surprise!” Ye Mo smiled.

“... Fine. I’ve already embarrassed myself once. Why not let you try?” Elder Yin sighed.

The three of them walked towards the Alchemist Guild. The Alchemist Guild in Limestone City had only 10 members. It was created by the best alchemist in Limestone City, Qin Mo. Qin Mo was a member of the Qin Clan and was a Phase 3 Alchemist. Even though Qin Mo had the same rank as Elder Huo, their skills were miles apart.

The three arrived at an unsophisticated pavilion. Ye Mo raised his head and noticed the word “Pill” written on the signboard.

“Here we are at the Pill Pavilion. Let’s see how you created those pills, shall we?” Elder Huo said and went inside. Elder Yin led Ye Mo into the building with a worried face.

The three of them arrived in a room filled with aromas from the herbs. A huge cauldron was placed in the center of the room. The cauldron was so huge that it required four people to fully hug it, and it was over six feet tall. An old man with white hair and a long beard stood at one, focused on a book in his hand.

“Elder Huo, Elder Yin, why are you two here?” The old man asked. He had heard people walking by.

“Guild master, Elder Yin’s still insisting that he’s able to create Fortifying Pills with Pill’s Markings. I want to see how he does it and learn something from him,” Elder Huo said in a respectful tone.

Elder Yin was flustered by what Elder Huo had said. He’d embarrassed himself in front of a few alchemists not long ago. Now that he was in front of the guild master, he had nowhere to hide.

“Elder Yin, didn’t you take the test not long ago? Your control over the Spiritual Energy is far from creating such pills. If that’s it, then leave. I’m trying to study the method to create a Rank Three True Energy Pill,” Qin Mo said.

“Guild master, are you seriously trying to create the True Energy Pill?” Elder Huo and Elder Yin were both surprised by what Qin Mo had said. Pills could be separated into three different categories, healing pills, training pills, and limit-breaking pills. The True Energy Pill had the power to help martial artists break into the True Energy Realm.

Martial artists such as the city lord Qin Hao, Ye Clan’s Ye Kuang, and Mo Clan’s Mo Rulong were all stuck in the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm in Limestone City with no method to advance into the True Energy Realm.

Even though it was only one step away from the True Spirit Realm, these Energy Shaping Ninth Realm martial artists had been looking for ways to break through their limits for a long time.

Each of the aforementioned martial artists wanted to break into the True Energy Realm and then into the Unified Energy Realm. Because only then could they be the strongest clan in all of Limestone City.

Everybody below the True Energy Realm were mere peasants to them. The True Energy Pill was the best pill to help any Energy Shaping Ninth Realm martial artist achieve what they’d longed for.
