Bloody Dragon Swordsman

Episodes 16. Pillmark

The one who appeared was none other than Ye Ming's own elder brother, Ye Hou. He was one of the wonders of the Ye Clan and had reached the Third Realm of Spirit Cultivation at the age of 16. He was the second strongest disciple in the Ye Clan, next to Ye Changsheng.

"Ha! I wonder why you even came to face Me alone! So you actually called your sister too, you loser! ” Ye Mo grunts.

“I've heard about what Ye Ming has done to you. Why don't you return the dagger, shake hands, and leave it as it is?” Ye Hou said with authority.



"Who do you think you are? This Magic Weapon would cost over 100 gold pieces, right? I saved it.” Ye Mo turned around and ran as soon as he finished his sentence.

Ye Hou laughed and ran towards Ye Mo. He was like a strong wind, kicking all the dust on the ground around him.

Actually, Ye Mo had never thought of running away from the start. It was a trick to fool Ye Hou. He knew that Ye Hou would still kill him even if he had returned the dagger.

If one could insert their Spiritual Energy into the dagger, it meant that Ye Mo could also infuse it with his Dragon Energy and make it stronger. He switched all two channels of Dragon Energy in his right hand to the dagger, turned around, and threw the dagger towards Ye Hou. Impregnated with Black Dragon Energy, his blade turned into a Black Dragon in the air, piercing through the forest.

Ye Hou did not expect Ye Mo would take such an action. He quickly stopped and awakened the Palm Spirit Serpent to try and catch the dagger. He used all the power of the Spirit Cultivating Third Realm and caught the dagger, but surprisingly, he could only change the trajectory of the dagger. The dagger changed its angle and shot in the other direction.

Ye Hou's right hand was cut off by a dagger as he tried to catch him. The wound was so deep that the white bones under his flesh were visible.

And in those few seconds, Ye Mo had already run out of the forest.

"Brother, are you okay?" Ye Ming rushed to his brother's side and asked. He was startled by the condition of Ye Hou's right hand and shouted in disbelief, “How is it possible?!”

“As you said, Ye Mo's strength suddenly increased. Ye Qing must have given him some treasures before he died, ” guess Ye Hou.

The power in Ye Mo's right-handed Mortal Gate was incredible. If he reached the Spirit Cultivation Realm, the result would be unbearable for the Ye Clan.

Ye Ming suddenly recalled something and told his brother, "Brother, on the day he killed our Spirit Cultivating First Realm servant, he swallowed a high-grade pill that increased his strength many times over instantly."

“Don't tell anyone about this. He must be hiding a treasure behind his back," Ye Hou warned. “Let's kill him when we have the chance. With that treasure, I might even have the chance to take first place in this year's Limestone Tournament of Champions List.” A demonic smile began to form on Ye Hou's face as if he had already won the tournament.

"You're dead, Ye Mo!" Ye Ho smiled.

Ye Mo ran back to his room covered in blood. Ye Ming and his brother would not act rude if they were in Ye's house, which made Ye Mo sigh in relief. The Dragon Energy he had transferred to his mind and right hand had disappeared, but the Soaring Dragon Pillar had replenished the three new Dragon Energy channels in his Energy Center.

"Young master! Are you okay?" Senior Fu was surprised by Ye Mo's appearance.

“I'm fine, just a few small scratches. I'll be like new after a good night's rest, ” explained Ye Mo. “Listen, I think it's better if you avoid going out as much as possible over the next few days. Oh, and can you help me send a message to Xiao Cao? Just tell him that after I reach the First Realm of Spirit Cultivation. We're leaving this place. This place is not safe for us anymore.”

With his understanding of Ye Ming and his elder brother, Ye Mo knew they would never let this matter pass.

Ye Mo took out a few Revitalization Pills and started meditating, focusing all his energy on his Energy Center. The wounds began to heal slowly, but the wounds left behind by the Magic Weapon were more difficult to heal than the wounds left by the Mortal Weapon.

"Let's try the Dragon Energy recovery ability."

Ye Mo channeled one Dragon Energy into his wound, and with the help of the Revitalizing Pill, his recovery rate doubled. He then focused the other two channels of Dragon Energy onto his wound and, as expected, his recovery rate quadrupled.



With the help of Dragon Energy, Ye Mo's wounds healed in just two hours. He was exhausted and went straight to sleep.

Ye Mo woke up early the next morning and went to the Pill Refining Chamber. He wanted to try and make some Spirit Strengthening Pills before Elder Yin entered. All the ingredients for the pills could be found inside the room, but Ye Mo was reluctant to use many of them. He had only put in enough ingredients to make 10 pills because he was afraid Elder Yin might know what he was doing.

Ye Mo lit a fire and directed one of his Dragon Energies into the cauldron.

“You Mo! Prepare ingredients. We will make more pills today!” elder Yin shouted from outside. His sudden appearance made Ye Mo afraid. He quickly removed his right hand from the cauldron.

What's wrong with him! Always show up at the wrong time! Ye Mo cried in his mind. He had been forced to stop his little experiment ever since Elder Yin arrived early. Looks like I have to buy a cauldron for myself.

Ye Mo crouched down beside the cauldron, pretending to be lighting a fire. “Older Yin, I thought you might have come earlier today. I've prepared all the ingredients and tossed them into the cauldron.”

Elder Yin nodded happily. “Not bad, not bad at all. You may be worth teaching. Once we're done with today's work, I'll give you a few more pills.”

"Thank you, Elder," Ye Mo replied.

Elder Yin placed both of his palms on the side of the cauldron. He began to channel his red Spiritual Energy into the cauldron, preparing to form a pill form.

The Rising Dragon Pillar automatically replenished the Dragon Energy that Ye Mo had just used. He focused one of the channels into his right hand and the other two into his mind.

Ye Mo peeked at what was happening inside the cauldron and noticed the Dragon Energy he was using before Elder Yin came circling inside the cauldron. All the materials melted into a liquid under the intense heat coming from under the cauldron. With the guidance from the red Spiritual Energy, pills began to form.

“Extinguish the fire,” elder Yin instructed as he pulled his hand from the cauldron. He took a deep breath and turned to Ye Mo, "Ye Mo, why is there only enough ingredients for 10 pills inside the cauldron?"

"Yes .. That's because I'm afraid you'll be tired from all the work you do" Ye Mo said.

“You brat. After so many years as my assistant, is it just a compliment you learned?” elder Yin scolded.

"But you never taught me anything" muttered Ye Mo.

"You ..." Elder Yin raised her hand and was about to slap Ye Mo when she realized what Ye Mo said was true. He had never taught Ye Mo anything before. "good. After the Limestone Champion List Tournament ends, I'll teach you how to make some pills. ”

"Thank you!" Ye Mo removed the lid from the cauldron and handed the 10 Spirit Strengthening Pills to the Elder who was inside.

Elder Yin took the pill and was astonished by what he saw.

"Pill Mark!" elder Yin exclaimed. "I finally made a Spirit Strengthening Pill with a mark on them!"

The Pill Sign literally means the mark on the pill. The more obvious the sign, the higher the price.

Although the Spirit Strengthening Pill was a second level training pill, each type of pill could still be divided into different quality grades. The Spirit Strengthening Pill that Elder Yin made the most could be called an average value. Only Spirit Strengthening Pills with Pill Marks on them could be considered a pill of higher value. It could not only enhance one's training experience but also strengthen their blood flow and strengthen their Mortal Gate. The effect was much stronger than an average grade Spirit Fortifying pill.

Alchemists who could purify pills with marks on them should have tremendous control over their Spiritual Energy. They were the ones who would succeed in their profession as an alchemist.

This must be the work of Dragon Energy! Ye Mo thought inwardly with excitement.
