Chapter 18: High-grade Magic Weapon

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Qi Yin had seen many treasures before in her career as the manager of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion. She understood the quality of the Fortifying Pills in Ye Mo’s hand. They have markings on them while aromas seeped out from them. Only a high phase alchemist or someone with extraordinary talents could create pills of such caliber.

Even though the Stabilizing Pills could produce much stronger effects than the pills Ye Mo was holding, Fortifying Pills with Pill’s Markings had the ability to strengthen the user’s body.

Qi Yin quickly recovered from her shock and said, “Little brother, looks like you have a very talented alchemist backing you up. The Fortifying Pills that you are holding have both markings and aroma. Extraordinary. But I still have to give them to our appraiser to check their qualities. How about we discuss the price after that?”

“No problem!” Ye Mo handed over the pills to Qi Yin. She unconsciously (or consciously) touched his hand when she took the pills and left.

Ye Mo’s heart fluttered when touched by her cold hand and scolded himself in his mind. After that, he went over to the weapon’s shop. Ye Mo finally understood the importance of weapons after his battle with Ye Ming, especially weapons which the users could infuse with their Spirit Energy.

The shopkeeper saw Ye Mo coming in and smiled. “Good morning. What do you need? We sell all sorts of daggers, swords, spears, halberds, canes, maces, and forks.”

“Are there any Magic Weapons?” Ye Mo asked as he was not interested in Mortal Weapons. If he could infuse all three Dragon Energies into a Magic Weapon, he could unleash attacks that have the forces of a Spirit Cultivating Fourth Realm.

“Magic Weapons? Those are quite rare. I don’t have them. You might want to try your luck at the auction house,” the shopkeeper replied.

“Little brother, if you’re looking for Magic Weapons, I might be able to help you,” Qi Yin said as she walked towards them.

“So, you do have Magic Weapons here?” Ye Mo asked, surprised.

Qi Yin shook her head and said, “No, we don’t. You can only get Magic Weapons from the Muyang Auction house. According to my sources, they are going to sell a High-grade Magic Weapon in three days.”

“A High-grade Magic Weapon?” Ye Mo exclaimed.

“The news has been spreading like wildfire.” Qi Yin smiled. “Quite a few young masters have their eyes locked on that particular weapon.”

“Then that’s a pity,” Ye Mo said, shaking his head. The price of the Magic Weapon would sky-rocket. The money he had on him wouldn’t even be enough to buy the hilt of the weapon.

“I think you might be able to fight on even grounds with them though. A High-end Magic Weapon is even a rare sight in the whole Tianwu Kingdom.”

The appraisal results of the pills were more than what Qi Yin expected. The pills have already reached the highest quality. The one who created those pills, Ye Mo’s master, must be some genius.

“What do you mean by that?” Ye Mo wanted the Magic Weapon badly, but before that he needed money and power. Even if he had the money, people would still attempt to steal it away from him before he could even leave the auction house.

“I’ve already appraised the five Fortifying Pills you handed me,” Qi Yin explained. “They are the highest-quality pills, which means that you must have quite the master backing you up. If you could ask your master for help, winning the auction wouldn’t be much of a problem.”

But there was always a hidden rule at the auction house for bidding on items that everyone wanted. Money was not the only thing a person needed. They would also need to have the power and ability to get it out of the auction house.

“My master is very odd. He doesn’t like to get out much,” Ye Mo said.

“Let me warn you first, little brother. If you want to enter the Muyang Auction House, you’ll need to prepare at least one Purple Gold,” Qi Yin warned. “Oh, and we’re still unable to put a price on the pills you gave me. Why don’t I put it up at the auction in three days? We’ll only charge you a 20% handling fee.”

Ye Mo nodded. “Fine with me.”

“Here, take these two gold pieces as a deposit. I’ll give you the rest of the money once the auction has ended,” Qi Yin said as she handed Ye Mo two pieces of gold.

Ye Mo took the gold pieces and left the Hundred Treasure Pavilion.

“Miss, do you want to send someone to check on his background?” An uncanny old man in his 60s came out from the back and asked.

“That won’t be necessary. This young man and his master are not from around here,” Qi Yin said. “Limestone City doesn’t have any alchemists with the potential to reach such levels. And the better the alchemist, the weirder he is. If they were to notice that we are poking around behind their backs, they might send us trouble. Next time, try and get on the young man’s good side as much as possible. He’s going to bring us, the Qi Clan, many benefits.”

The enchanting smile on Qi Yin’s face began to fade and her expressions became more serious.

“Understood.” The old man also knew that an alchemist with such talent could be a terror. It would be best if he were on their side.

After Ye Mo had left the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, he put on his tiger mask and went straight to the Xiao’s mansion. Xiao Feng and Xiao Yue were nowhere to be found in the Martial Pavilion at the Xiao’s mansion. One of the disciples handed Ye Mo five Fortifying Pills and told him to train.

Ye Mo took the pills but did not use them. If he could refine the pills even further with his Dragon Energies, the best course of action would be taking them after doing so.

But since Ye Mo was still in Xiao’s mansion, he did not want anyone to see what he was capable of, so he put away the Fortifying Pills and went to the second floor, curious of what he would find there.

Xiao Feng had told him there were two Spirit Cultivating Second Realm foreign aids on the second floor, and that both of them were prodigies too. Now that Ye Mo had awakened four channels of Dragon Energy, he wanted to test the strength of those two foreign aids.

Ye Mo strolled towards the second floor and saw a guy and a girl sparring. Both of them were around Ye Mo’s age, yet they had already reached the Spirit Cultivating Second Realm. Spirit Energies burst from their every clash and shook the air around them, slightly shaking the whole Martial Pavilion.

“The Spirit Cultivating Second Realm sure is something!” Ye Mo sighed. Even though he could produce forces equal to a Spirit Cultivating Second Realm, he had still yet to reach the Spirit Cultivating Realm. A fight between two martial artists does not only focus on their strength but also their overall performance.

The palms of the two martial artists slammed together, and both of them took a few steps back from the reacting force. Suddenly, the girl in black robes noticed there was another person in the same room.

“Who’s there?!” The girl shouted and started to sprint towards Ye Mo. Ice blue Spiritual Energy covered her right hand as she shot it towards him.

What a vicious girl! She did not even give me the chance to reply and straight on attacks me! Ye Mo quickly focused three channels of Dragon Energy into his right hand’s Mortal Gate as it mimicked a Spirit Serpent and swirled around the girl’s hand, ignoring the incoming attack.

“Ahhh!” The girl shrieked before she could even react.
