The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood-Chapter 1196 - 1197: Timely Help in the Snow

The Yin Yang Infinity Rod was crafted by Ancestor Wuji as an Immortal Artifact, possessing the Power of Yin and Yang. Although the Artifact Spirit is damaged, it can be repaired using the Power of Yin and Yang according to Ancestor Wuji’s records.

With the first path not viable, Ye Mo naturally wouldn’t throw himself at the first hurdle. He immediately thought of a second method: crafting the spear shaft again for the Heavenly Snare Blood Fiend Spear.

Having determined his course of action, Ye Mo directly emerged from the Genius Badge and went to find Master ZiQi.

To craft the spear shaft, naturally, he sought help from Master ZiQi, who, given his temperament, would undoubtedly help him unconditionally.

Upon entering the cave, Ye Mo also directly approached ZiQi. Seeing Ye Mo’s arrival, ZiQi’s eyes brightened, teasing, "Little guy, how do you have time to come to me? I heard you’re going to duel with Hsiao Wuqing from the Heavenly Dao, do you have confidence in defeating her?"

"The duel can be put aside for now; I came today bearing something good."

Ye Mo said with a smile, taking out the Yin Yang Infinity Rod, and handed it to Master ZiQi, asking, "Master ZiQi, can you discern the origin of this weapon?"

"Oh?"

ZiQi looked at the rod Ye Mo took out, his eyes lighting up, instantly recognizing its extraordinary nature, and he took Ye Mo’s stick, running his fingers over it.

"What is this? It seems the Artifact Spirit is damaged, and this spirit is not an ordinary one, containing two tightly opposing forces. How wondrous, how wondrous indeed."

ZiQi exclaimed.

"Master ZiQi is indeed formidable, yet you haven’t guessed what this weapon is?"

Ye Mo asked.

"Could it be?"

At this point, ZiQi’s face showed an astonished expression: "Could this be the Yin Yang Infinity Rod? Only the Yin Yang Infinity Rod could possess such extreme, opposing spiritual characteristics."

"That’s right; this is the Yin Yang Infinity Rod. Can Master ZiQi repair the Artifact Spirit?"

This was Ye Mo’s most pressing concern.

"Difficult!"

ZiQi immediately expounded a single word, "The Yin Yang Infinity Rod was crafted by a weapon forger of the Wraith Land, whose methods of nurturing Artifact Spirits were exceedingly clever. This rod’s Artifact Spirit differs from the ordinary. I have thought about repair methods before, but I still don’t have any clues."

"Master ZiQi, take a look at this; it might offer some assistance."

Ye Mo handed Ancestor Wuji’s records to ZiQi.

ZiQi accepted the records, quickly flipping through them, growing excited: "These are insights recorded by Ancestor Wuji during artifact refining. Truly marvelous! There’s even a method for repairing the Artifact Spirit of the Yin Yang Infinity Rod here."

"Marvelous indeed! If I, in my lifetime, can attain the level of Ancestor Wuji, it wouldn’t have been lived in vain."

ZiQi sighed repeatedly, then closed the records and said, "According to Ancestor Wuji’s explanations, the Artifact Spirit of the Yin Yang Infinity Rod can be repaired, but it requires two extremely different forces to sustain it."

"Can this work?"

Ye Mo once again produced the Life Spring Eye and Water of Death Spring, letting them hover in front of ZiQi, a sight that shocked ZiQi once more.

"These are? Water of Death Spring and Life Spring Eye? Weren’t these the springs brought by the ancient masters to suppress the Wraith Demon Emperor back in the day? How are they with you?"

ZiQi exclaimed.

Every time Ye Mo produced something, it scared ZiQi half to death, first the Solitary Darkness Cloak, then the Yin Yang Infinity Rod, and finally these Life Spring Eye and Water of Death Spring.

Each item was worth a fortune.

"Master ZiQi, best not to ask about that."

Ye Mo said.

"Give me two months; I can attempt to repair the Yin Yang Infinity Rod, and might also use the two springs to enhance the spirit’s spirituality, but there’s no hundred percent certainty."

ZiQi said.

"Two months?"

Ye Mo frowned. Even allowing ZiQi into the Genius Badge’s space would take six days, and it would reveal the Genius Badge.

"What? Are you in a hurry to use it?"

ZiQi asked, seeing Ye Mo’s anxious expression.

"Master ZiQi, to be honest, I want to craft the Yin Yang Infinity Rod into the Heavenly Snare Blood Spear’s shaft to enhance its power."

Ye Mo said calmly.

"I see!"

ZiQi nodded, then said, "Although my Artifact Refining Technique might not be top-notch, achieving in two months the repair of the Artifact Spirit of the Yin Yang Infinity Rod and crafting it into the shaft for the Heavenly Snare Blood Spear is utterly impossible within the Lingwu Continent, unless Ancestor Wuji intervenes."

"It seems I have to seek another method; three days later is the duel, and my Blood Fiend Spear cannot be out of hand. Since Master ZiQi can’t craft it in a month, this matter has to be paused."

Ye Mo bade farewell to ZiQi, his mood somewhat grim, having both plans fail.

"Ye Mo, Hou Qinglong is here."

Walking on Dragon Path, Ye Mo was about to return to his residence when Zi Xuan’s voice came from behind.

"Him? Why did he come to us?"

Ye Mo turned around and saw Zi Xuan approaching.

"Perhaps it’s about the Yin Yang Infinity Rod. He said when he refined Ancestor Wuji’s power, he also obtained his Artifact Refining Technique. He mentioned he’d come to find you once he was capable of repairing the Artifact Spirit of the Yin Yang Infinity Rod."

Zi Xuan said.

"It seems heaven’s path is ever open, and if Hou Qinglong truly obtained Ancestor Wuji’s inheritance, his Artifact Refining Technique might be even more powerful than Master ZiQi’s."

With this thought, Ye Mo followed Zi Xuan to the guest hall, where he saw Hou Qinglong seated to the side, patiently waiting, and when he sensed someone approaching, he immediately stood up.

"Benefactor, you’re here!"

Hou Qinglong said.

"I said there’s no need to call me ’Benefactor,’ just call me Ye Mo. I heard you have now inherited Ancestor Wuji’s Artifact Refining Technique?"

Ye Mo said.

"Indeed, I heard from Zi Xuan that the Artifact Spirit of the Yin Yang Infinity Rod is damaged, so I specifically came to assist you in repairing it, and after helping you with this matter, I plan to join the Five Element League. Given my strength and level of Artifact Refining Technique, I should be able to make good progress."

Hou Qinglong said.

"You want to join the Five Element League?"

Ye Mo raised an eyebrow.

"Yes!"

"Haha, I am the Alliance Hierarch of the Five Element League, and with talents like you, I eagerly seek them out. The Five Element League currently might not be powerful on the continent, but I believe, in a few years, it will surely become a great power in the Lingwu Continent."

Ye Mo said confidently.

"I saw that point as well, but I didn’t expect you to be the Alliance Hierarch of the Five Element League. This further solidifies my determination to join."

Hou Qinglong said.

"Alright, now I have a critical matter for you to assist." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Ye Mo said, then explained the plan to craft the Heavenly Snare Blood Spear to Hou Qinglong.

"Give me a month’s time, and I can craft it for you."

Hou Qinglong said confidently.

"Great, for this month, you’ll have to stay in my Genius Badge; I’ll prepare everything for you."

Ye Mo, having full confidence in Hou Qinglong, entrusted everything to him.

This allowed Ye Mo to relax, spending three days mingling within the clan, even chatting with some female disciples, without the demeanor of someone about to duel in three days.
