The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1356 - 1357: The City Lord Summons

The century-old alchemist competition in Wraith Land has thus concluded.

This year’s alchemist competition was undoubtedly the most spectacular of all the previous ones, especially with Ye Mo as the dark horse who suddenly appeared and refined the highest-quality Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill, shocking everyone.

And Ye Mo, after the competition ended, was invited to leave by the people from the mansion.

"Being the champion is good; the City Lord summons you immediately."

"Yes, the Dan City Lord has achieved the Divine Venerable Six Souls status, and among all city lords, he counts as a personage. Now that Ye Mo has been summoned by the City Lord, his future achievements are limitless."

Countless alchemists were discussing.

And the Pill Saint’s heir and Dan Chenzi, looking at this scene, were both ashen-faced. Not only had the opponent defeated them, but also defeated even the Pill Saint. Why is this Ye Mo so formidable?

"Ye Mo, even if the Dan City’s City Lord meets you, it’s merely to persuade you not to join the Dan Clan. My goal is the secret on your body. Once I obtain the secret on your body, my alchemy will surely be unparalleled and dominate the entire alchemy world."

At this moment, standing above the sea of clouds, the Pill Saint looked at Ye Mo leaving and revealed a cold smile on his face.

At this time, Ye Mo also greeted Yang Rong before following the Black Armored Guards from the mansion to leave the square.

The next moment, they were already inside the mansion, and with the guidance of the Black Armored Guards, the journey was smooth and unimpeded.

Then he was brought to a large hall, where he saw a middle-aged man appear in front of him, with a refined demeanor and wearing a fur-lined battle robe. It was unmistakably the Dan City Lord.

"Ye Mo, I am Yan Nantian, the Dan City Lord. Today I have summoned you to inform you of an important matter."

Yan Nantian wasted no time and got straight to the point.

"City Lord, please speak frankly."

Ye Mo said calmly.

"Do you know the purpose of hosting this alchemist competition?"

Yan Nantian asked as soon as he opened his mouth, and without waiting for Ye Mo to answer, he continued: "The Dan Clan wants to use the alchemist competition to recruit all the outstanding alchemists from Wraith Land, and eventually control the entire alchemy world. They even want to control Dan City. Originally, in this alchemist competition, the champion would definitely be the Pill Saint’s heir or Dan Chenzi, but your appearance disrupted their plan."

"What? The Dan Clan has such ambitions? Wanting to control the entire alchemy world?"

Ye Mo was shocked.

"I watched the entire competition process, and I discovered several issues."

Yan Nantian said calmly: "According to the rules, in the finals, one should use their own Pill Furnace, but this time it was the Dan Clan that provided a unified Pill Furnace. Also, the pills refined by Dan Chenzi and the Pill Saint’s heir had a purity of ninety-five percent. In my opinion, they do not have such a level, and it’s impossible for them to refine pills of the same purity."

"Do you mean to say that the pills they refined were pre-prepared?"

"Exactly. They wanted to create two champions. Just think, how many forces would be eager to extend olive branches to them by then?"

Ye Mo could understand this point, and his appearance actually disrupted the Dan Clan’s plan. But what puzzled him was why the Dan Clan so readily gave him the champion title.

"Are you wondering why the Dan Clan so readily gave you the champion title?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Mo nodded.

"You refined the highest-quality Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill in front of so many people, and even what you called the Supreme Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill; the Dan Clan couldn’t deny it. It’s better to go along with it and let you take the championship, then recruit you afterward."

Yan Nantian smiled and continued: "This is also why I summoned you. Although I know that by summoning you, the Dan Clan will also know the reason, and perhaps they will offer greater temptations to make you join the Dan Clan, but as the City Lord of Dan City, I do not wish for such a thing to happen. The decision is yours to make."

"I will consider it."

Ye Mo nodded, understanding Yan Nantian’s reasoning and his desire for him not to join the Dan Clan.

"Alright, the Dan Clan people are probably waiting for you outside the mansion, so I won’t say much more."

Yan Nantian patted Ye Mo’s shoulder and said, "Come, escort Ye Mo out."

"Yes!"

Immediately, Ye Mo was escorted out of the mansion.

Along the way, the Wraith Demon Emperor seemed to recall something: "If I’m not mistaken, the Pill Saint and the Pill Demon were the Pill Refining Powder of an alchemist master who was called the Pill King back in the day. I even had dealings with him, but later, I heard that this Pill King fell. Those who didn’t know the reason thought the Pill King had passed away naturally, but it was actually the doing of those two Pill Refining Powder. It was said that the Pill King had a legendary formula, divided into two volumes, one good and one evil."

"Are you saying that the Pill Saint and the Pill Demon each obtained one of the good and evil legendary formulas?"

Ye Mo was shocked.

"Yes, you refined the highest-quality elixir, and your technique was unfamiliar. With the Pill Saint’s eyesight, he would definitely notice something. He is someone who could kill his master for the legendary formula. If he summons you, you must be cautious."

The Wraith Demon Emperor reminded.

"I understand. Perhaps in the alchemist competition, those two pills with ninety-five percent purity were both refined by him."

Ye Mo nodded, realizing he wouldn’t have known the nature of the Pill Saint without the Wraith Demon Emperor’s reminder.

Under the guidance of the Black Armored Guards, Ye Mo walked out of the mansion, and indeed, Dan Dongfeng was already waiting outside. Upon seeing Ye Mo come out, he immediately approached.

"Ye Mo, what did Yan Nantian say to you?"

Dan Dongfeng asked with a friendly smile.

"Nothing much. He wanted to recruit me, but I refused."

Ye Mo said calmly, his expression unchanged.

"This Yan Nantian is indeed cunning."

Dan Dongfeng thought to himself, subtly asking, "Yan Nantian is the Dan City Lord. Why did you refuse him? If you became the chief alchemist of Dan City, the entire Dan City would revere you."

"I wouldn’t want to be confined to a small Dan City."

Ye Mo said with a smile.

"Hehe, it seems you are quite ambitious. The Pill Saint is already waiting for you at the Danxiang Pavilion. I will take you there now."

Dan Dongfeng said as he led Ye Mo to a huge pavilion. Ye Mo hadn’t even entered the Danxiang Pavilion when he felt a powerful Heart Spirit Strength sweeping over his body repeatedly. Ye Mo’s Heart Spirit Strength was already at the peak of the ninth rank, and he immediately noticed when someone scanned him.

"The Pill Saint is on the seventh floor of the Danxiang Pavilion."

After saying this, Dan Dongfeng brought Ye Mo to the seventh floor of the Danxiang Pavilion, and he stood at the door while Ye Mo pushed the door open and entered.

"Ye Mo, you have finally come!"

The Pill Saint, standing by the window, turned around with a smile.

"Greetings, Pill Saint senior!"

Ye Mo cupped his hands together. Although he had no goodwill towards this so-called Pill Saint, he still performed the formalities.

"Ye Mo, you are the champion of this alchemist competition, and I intend to take you as my disciple. What do you think?"
