“What did you say? She was disfigured by Xu Fu?”
“Yes. While it is against league rules for internal fighting, Xu Fu is an Inner League member, his status towering over that of Yan Shihan. Hence, the higher ups did not reprimand him. However, it seems like Xu Fu is not going to let her off,” said the Outer League brother.
Ye Mo frowned. He was the one who killed Xu Jiachen. Yan Shihan must have covered up for him, resulting in her being targeted by Xu Fu.
Ye Mo gave five more Mixed Energy Pills to the Outer League brother and asked, “Then, do you know where her training cave is at? I would like to find her.”
“Yan Shihan’s training cave is towards the North of the Spirit Mountain.”
The Outer League brother eagerly received the five Mixed Energy Pills, and reminded Ye Mo, “Why do you want to find her? Ever since that incident, no Outer League member dared to get too close to Yan Shihan, fearing Xu Fu’s authority. Even her close sisters have abandoned her. Junior Ye Mo, don’t tell me you’re going to get yourself involved? I advise you to not get into the midst of this. Xu Fu is an Energy Shaping Fourth Realm fighter, an extremely dominant figure in the Outer League. There is no one who does not fear him among the Outer League members. You’re a newcomer, so I advise you to look out for yourself instead. Be patient and wait for the potential-checking mission. If the mission is completed nicely, perhaps you will be chosen and nurtured by the higher ups.”
“Many thanks for your concern, senior. However, I am somewhat related to this Yan Shihan. I shall go and see her,” said Ye Mo.
“Brother Ye Mo, seeing her is fine, but do not bump into Xu Fu, or your days in the Outer League won’t be easy. Many of the seniors in the Outer League are under him. These people have never entered the Inner League, their status not as high as the Inner League members. However, they are more than comfortable in the Outer League, and they are responsible for the planning of daily missions and tasks for some Outer League members. You will be in big trouble if you get on their bad side,” said the Outer League brother.
“Thanks for the reminder!”
Ye Mo left the cave.
Above the Spirit Mountain, it was extremely foggy. It looked somewhat like a fairyland. There were caves everywhere despite the Spirit Mountain only being a corner of the Qingyun League.
Walking along the rugged road and searching each cave, Ye Mo finally found Yan Shihan’s cave.
Yan Shihan was seen with her eyes closed, sitting cross-legged in the middle of the cave. Her face was unsightly, with more than half of it burnt badly, but an expression of perseverance could still be seen on her face.
“Who is that?”
All of a sudden, Yan Shihan opened her eyes and saw Ye Mo stood beside her.
“It’s you? Turns out you really came to the Qingyun League,” said Yan Shihan, surprised.
“Of course I was going to come to the league, but I only ended up causing harm to you,” said Ye Mo gently.
“Are you talking about my looks? Ha, it’s for the better. Those solicitous men who previously tried to woo me have all left me. I now know that they were merely a bunch of rogues,” said Yan Shihan mockingly.
“I heard about what happened to you after I came to the league. Don’t worry, since I’m now here, the past is gone. You will rise to the top!” As he said this, Ye Mo took over the Long Armed Ape Monkey’s Dimensional Bracelet from his own Dimensional Bracelet and gave it to Yan Shihan. “There are 100 Mixed Energy Pills inside. Use them for the time being and find me when they run out. If you are not confident about making the breakthrough to the Energy Shaping Realm, I can help you cultivate an Energy Shaping Pill.”
Yan Shihan stared at the Dimensional Bracelet, stunned. Then, her resolute expression finally crumbled as tears rained down her face.
She had been putting up a cold front these days. Xu Fu’s authority and her disfigurement meant that no one dared to be near her.
No matter how strong she was, she was still a woman.
“Young Master, there is no need to care about me. That Xu Fu is an Inner League member, and furthermore, an Energy Shaping Fourth Realm fighter. Outer League members like us cannot afford to antagonize him.” Yan Shihan said, her voice filled with worry as she hesitated to receive the Dimensional Bracelet.
Ye Mo reached out his palm, touching her burnt face and said, “A recent burn injury – it should be possible for you to recover. Take the Dimensional Bracelet first. I shall return to flip through the Encyclopaedia of Herbology and help you cultivate a pill that will allow you to recover your looks. Stay in the cave and train hard for these few days,” Ye Mo said and left, leaving the Dimensional Bracelet behind.
“My skin can still recover from this?”
Yan Shihan was confused for a moment. While she had an indifferent look on her face, which woman did not care about her looks?
Ye Mo started flipping through the Encyclopaedia of Herbology upon returning to his cave. It had records of all the pills and their cultivating methods from Rank One to Five. It also contained the cultivating method for the Appearance Pill.
The Appearance Pill was a Rank Four Pill, and while it was not considered to be a training or healing type of pill, there were plenty of such pills in the royal palace.
Many alchemists regularly supplied Appearance Pills to the Emperor to appease him. The Emperor himself did not really need them, but his concubines did.
The Appearance Pill was not only capable of rejuvenating one’s appearance, it could also revitalize dead skin, giving it new life, an extremely unique function.
“In order to cultivate the Appearance Pill, I need the Woods Lingzhi Mushroom, Appearance Grass, and the Water of Life.”
Ye Mo read the description in the encyclopaedia and to his surprise, he actually had two of the three ingredients required. The Appearance Grass and Woods Lingzhi Mushroom were among the ingredients collected by the Long Armed Ape Monkey King. The only item he was missing was the Water of Life.
Ye Mo asked the Outer League brother and was informed that there are countless amount of medical resources available at the Qingyun League. If one wanted to get medical ingredients, he would have to use league points to exchange for them. A bottle of Water of Life would cost 5000 league points.
“Hm? The mission has arrived!”
Suddenly, lines of text appeared on the stone mirror.
The Eastern area was considered the region of the City of Death. The armored spirits had all been revived and were highly likely to threaten the lives of the public.
“Head towards the City of Death and slaughter the armored spirits. Collect their spirit essences – a spirit essence can be exchanged for 100 league points.
Regardless of whether you accept or reject the mission, head towards the Martial Training Hall to register.”
The bottom text also hinted that this mission was one that was personally appointed by the Emperor to the Qingyun League.
City of Death?
Ye Mo was not too familiar with it – there was such a battleground within the perimeters of the Tianwu Kingdom?
“Brother Ye Mo, the City of Death within the Tianwu Kingdom should be a City of Ghosts. Those armored spirits were Energy Shaping Realm fighters before they died. It is basically a death sentence for a normal Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm fighter to venture into the City of Death. What kind of potential test is this? It is clearly a death trap.”
“Someone must have done something fishy behind the scenes. However, there is no reason for me to be scared. If there is no one else present, I have no problem challenging Energy Shaping Third Realm fighters. I shall head towards the Martial Training Hall now. The recovery of Yan Shihan’s face cannot afford to be delayed. I will be able to obtain the Water of Life if I just collect 50 of those spirit essences.”
As he spoke, Ye Mo left the Spirit Mountain and headed towards the Martial Training Hall.
The Martial Training Hall was where Outer League members settled their missions. As he stepped into the hall, Ye Mo saw a few Outer League members submitting their missions.
These fighters were between the Energy Shaping First Realm and Third Realm.
“Hello, my name is Ye Mo, a newcomer to the league. I received a City of Death mission, and I am here to confirm my acceptance of it,” said Ye Mo.
“Ye Mo, you say? Let me see.” As the league member in charge of registering the missions spoke, he flipped through the records and said, “Correct, the Qingyun League has indeed assigned a City of Death mission to you. Do you confirm that you are accepting it?”
“Yes, I am accepting the mission,” said Ye Mo.
“Alright then, just register here, take this map report, and you can begin with your mission,” said the league member.
Ye Mo followed the instructions, leaving after completing the registration and taking the map report. Following that, Yun Shan slowly walked out, a sinister smile on his face.
“I am the one in charge of assigning potential-testing missions, how do you plan on fighting against me? The Long Armed Ape Monkey King couldn’t kill you, but let’s see if there will be anyone to save you this time. However, I shall accompany Brother Xu Fu on this mission as well. If I gather enough league points, I will be promoted to the Inner League.”
“What did you say? She was disfigured by Xu Fu?”
“Yes. While it is against league rules for internal fighting, Xu Fu is an Inner League member, his status towering over that of Yan Shihan. Hence, the higher ups did not reprimand him. However, it seems like Xu Fu is not going to let her off,” said the Outer League brother.
