The Material Emperor With Dragon Blood
Chapter 4
There were many medicinal herbs within the Pill Refining Chamber. If one or two were to go missing, Elder Yin would most likely not notice it unless she conducted a thorough investigation.
If he looked into it and discovered that something was missing, chaos would ensue as Elder Yin bore a burning hatred towards the thieves.
"Ye Mo, you little bastard, go and light a fire!" A thunderous voice rang out as Elder Yin, with his white hair, rushed in.
"Yes sir!"
Ye Mo knew Elder Yin quite well and knew that as long as he did as he was told, the old man would calm down.
Ye Mo lit a fire in the furnace in preparation for Elder Yin, who added ingredients into the large cauldron, slowly infusing the potion with his own Yuanli.
Ye Mo continued to fan the flames and blow them away. After an hour, explosions sounded from the cauldron, indicating the completion of the Pei Yuan pill.
One batch of Rank One Priming Pills produced around 50 pills and were used to improve training.
One day's work yielded 100 pills. In the remaining time, Elder Yin would conduct research on the Level Two Fortification Pill.
Ye Mo's job was to fan the flames. After several hours of hard work, Elder Yin asked Ye Mo to tidy up the room. After Ye Mo finished, he locked up and headed home.
As soon as he returned, he immediately sat down, cross-legged, ready to train once more. The Yuan Chi from Heaven and Earth he absorbed was colorless and as it moved towards the Energy Center, it remained the same as when it was converted to Yuanli.
Only after mastering the Yuanli Mental Technique would it produce color.
For example, the Hellfire Technique that Ye Qing specialized in was a fire-based Mental Technique. Yuanli, as a result, glowed red. His attack also carried a fiery fury, imitating the flames.
The Rising Dragon Pillar licked Yuan Chi provided by Ye Mo, causing a single black dragon to shoot towards Ye Mo's right-handed Gate.
Ye Mo's right arm veins started to surface, pulsing very strongly as if he had been bitten by a dragon.
Ye Mo gritted his teeth in pain and repeated the process. Another dragon was released and shot towards the Gate.
"If only I could awaken two dragons simultaneously, I would greatly speed up the process of opening my Star!"
Ye Mo realized that, despite the many dragons on the pillar, he could only awaken the dragons at the very bottom and he could only utilize its power. If he could wake the two together, he could halve the time he spent opening the Gates. As for awakening more than two dragons at once? Ye Mo had not even dared to think about it.
"Let me try the Priming Pill. ”
From the corner of the room, Ye Mo took out a small pouch containing Priming Pills. These were the pills he had received during his years of working in the Pill Refining Chamber. Elder Yin would reward him with a few pills whenever he was in a good mood. After five years, Ye Mo had a pretty good collection.
Ye Mo swallowed a handful of Priming Pills. The energy from the pill slid smoothly down his throat and went straight to the Energy Center. The energy from the pill fused with his Yuan Chi, forming a condensed mass.
A gigantic obsidian dragon Yuanli emerged from the very bottom of the pillar. It was fun for Ye Mo, quickly followed by the dragon resting on it, which let out a great roar. The dragons shot towards the Ye Mo Energy Center simultaneously.
Ye Mo internally jumped in excitement. These obsidian Yuanli dragons were basically pure Yuanli, but in the form of dragons.
"I'll call you the power of the dragon!"
With the two dragons under his control, Ye Mo directed the two towards the Gate of his right hand.
Crack down!
The sound of broken bones rang out, and Ye Mo could feel the seal covering the Gate succumbing to his efforts. He was certain that in just a few days, he could break through the Gate on his right leg based on the strength of the two dragons.
Ye Mo's schedule over the next few days was mostly practice in the morning, help out in Elder Yin in the afternoon, and more practice in the evening.
Krakk!
The sound of bone cracking rang out once again, and with that, the two dragons dashed past the Gate of his right hand.
Ye Mo opened his eyes, wiped the sweat on his brows and looked at his right arm. It didn't look different on the outside, but he could feel the power flowing through his veins.
He could no longer contain his excitement. In just ten days, he had already opened the Gate in his right hand, something that even the magic of Limestone City could not dream of.
Ye Mo once again asked for two dragons, one of which was completely encompassed by the Gate in his right hand. Clenching his hands, he landed a punch on the wall nearby.
Bam!
The wall was cracked under great pressure. Long hair-like tendrils curl along the wall.
"Ha! This kind of attack should produce at least two power stones. ”
The power of the dragon in Ye Mo's right hand did not disappear after he used it a moment ago. In fact, the two dragons had assimilated into the Gate. He threw another powerful punch, this time to the floor. A deafening voice sounded as if the anger of the dragons was unleashed.
BAM!
The moment the impact, the entire house started to shake as Ye Mo made a small crater-sized indentation on the ground.
"Young man, what happened?" Uncle Fu said as he rushed to the scene, paying attention to the crater on the ground.
“Uncle, I'm no longer the 'junk' that everyone thinks. No one will dare to mess with us again, ” Ye Mo said with a wide smile, rubbing his arms.
"Young master, are you the one who made all that fuss?" Uncle Fu asked in disbelief.
"Don't tell anyone," Ye Mo warned.
"Young master has inherited Master Ye's talent!"
Uncle Fu sighed in admiration and joy. Even those who had reached the First Spirit First Spiritual Realm would not be able to land a blow as powerful as Ye Mo's punch.
After a martial artist managed to open all five Gates and reach the First Realm, their strength could reach two stones. Once they reached the Second World, their Yuanli would be more concentrated and their strength could reach up to four stones. Once they reached the Ninth Realm, they could produce 18 power stones.
But those numbers are just estimates. Some are born with more power than others, and, of course, will have greater attacks.
After Ye Mo absorbed the power of one dragon, his right hand would produce two power stones. But with two dragons, he could reach four stones. In terms of attack power alone, he had already reached the Spirit of Cultivating the Second World.
After Ye Mo finished his lunch, he started going to the Pill Screening Room.
In these 20 days of intensive training, Ye Mo had almost spent his collection of Priming Pills. If not for the pills, with his own current skill, he would still struggle to extract the power of two dragons simultaneously.
When Ye Mo arrived at the Pill Refining Chamber, he was shocked to see that the key had been tampered with. He felt angry when he thought about how the thief had risen from entering through the window to damaging the lock, showing a lack of shame.
The door opened, and Ye Mo was greeted by the sight of Ye Xiaotian carrying a bag full of Priming Pills. When Ye Xiaotian knew that Elder Yin had a class in the Alchemist Guild and would not be in the room today, he did not bother to climb through the window and take the easy path.
"You Xiaotian, how dare you steal the Priming Pill!" Said Ye Mo angry.
Ye Xiaotian looked at Ye Mo and threw a piece of silver at him and giggled. “Ye Mo, Elder Yin won't be coming today, so you can change the lock in the afternoon. He won't know. ”
Ye Mo could avert his eyes if Ye Xiaotian and Ye Ming only stole medicinal herbs. After all, Elder Yin rarely checked his shop. However, Ye Xiaotian's courage was only terrible, because Elder Yin would be furious if any Priming Pills were to be lost.
Back in the day, when Ye Mo had no strength, he could put up with bullying. But now that he had opened one of his Gates, other than having the power of a dragon, he was no longer subject to the will of Ye Ming — who had only opened two Gates himself.
As Ye Mo harnessed the power of one dragon, he threw the silver piece back at Ye Xiaotian, a silver glint flashing along his trajectory.
"Save this piece of silver for your dental appointment!"
