Chapter 305: Took the Wrong Medicine Translator: Tim Editor: Fish Creek

But Ye Mo knew the woman before him wasn’t dead; she was alive. It was just that, because she stayed with dead things all year long, she had this death chi on her.

“Who are you? Why are you ruining my thing? I know you’re not easy to mess with. I never messed with you, but you dare to mess with me!” the woman shrieked, her voice sharp as a needle.

Ye Mo sneered. “I didn’t want to be bothered with you, but you already messed with me. I chose this place to cultivate in peace and don’t want to be disturbed by people or ghosts, but you dare make sounds above me. And last night, you went to the fifth floor to kill someone. If you hadn’t angered me, it would be fine, but since you disturbed me, even if you run to the ends of the earth, I will still burn you to ashes.”

The red-robed woman extended her claw-like hands, her nails several inches long. She shrieked, “You’re too domineering! I killed people, but I didn’t kill you. What does that have to do with you? If I weren’t afraid of you, I would’ve killed the woman next door last night. What else do you want?”

Ye Mo was taken aback. This woman could tell he was strong? No, that wasn’t right. Ye Mo immediately knew she was lying. The woman didn’t kill Luo Xuan last night because of him; there must have been another reason. But Ye Mo didn’t expose her, saying coldly, “I am domineering. What are you going to do? I’ve killed all your ghouls downstairs. You don’t like it? You keep so many ghouls; it shows how many people you kill each day. You met me and still tried to mess with me. That’s your bad luck.”

“You think you’re good just because you can shoot fireballs? Don’t blame me for not reminding you—if you offend me, you’re finished. Your whole family is finished,” the woman shrieked.

She actually thought a fireball was nothing? This was the first time Ye Mo had met someone like this on Earth. Even the hidden sect people were shocked when they saw him shoot fireballs. But he’d met someone who thought so little of the fireball technique. Did she know how to do it too, or was she also a spirit cultivator?

The woman saw Ye Mo’s confusion and sneered coldly. She reached out her long hand, and a bulb of faint yellow fire appeared on her finger. Although small, it was clearly visible.

Ye Mo almost laughed. This woman was truly funny. She thought his fireball was made through chemical means like hers. This chemical fire could only scare people; it couldn’t really harm anyone. She probably stayed in the graveyard too long.

“Okay, you’re tough. I’ll give up this building now, as long as you don’t look for trouble with me,” the red-robed woman said, seeming to know Ye Mo wasn’t easy to mess with and wasn’t prepared to fight him to the death.

Ye Mo sneered, “Since I came, if I let you go so easily, you’d be overestimating yourself.”

And Ye Mo was sure the woman wasn’t going to give up like this. For someone like her, she wouldn’t give up on someone with so much power. To her, his soul was probably worth more than thousands of normal ghosts.

As soon as Ye Mo finished, a ghoul behind him suddenly charged at him. Ye Mo didn’t even turn, and multiple fireballs enveloped the ghoul.

An extremely putrid smell arose. After a fit of sharp shrieks, the ghoul was burnt to nothing.

“You dare kill my little pet…,” the red-clothed woman screamed, as if her lifeline had been cut by Ye Mo. She charged at him immediately.

Ye Mo said plainly, “You’re a mere yellow-level tertiary-stage ancient martial arts cultivator, and you dare act cocky in front of me?”

The woman stopped suddenly, looking at Ye Mo in surprise. After a while, she stammered, “You… you can see my power level?”

“This isn’t something you need to know. I will take your life. You’ve killed so many people, so you can die as well.” Then, Ye Mo shot out more than ten fireballs around the woman.

The woman shrieked, “Don’t kill me! I’m a pupil of the Four State Nine Moon Temple. If you kill me, you’ll be hunted down by my sect’s masters!”

Ye Mo sneered. “Nine Moon Temple, is it very strong? Not long ago, I killed a man named Nie Wubian. I wonder if he came from your sect. But no need for a hunt; I will go to the Nine Moon Temple personally. This disgusting place doesn’t deserve to exist.”

Hearing Ye Mo’s words, the red-robed woman screamed, “You actually killed Martial Brother Wubian? Ah, let me go! I’m willing to help you do anything…”

Before she finished, she was burnt to a crisp by Ye Mo’s fireball, leaving only some dust. Ye Mo then looked at the thing that had blocked his spirit sense—a very strange wood he couldn’t recognize, but it had already been badly burnt by his fireball, so Ye Mo burnt it completely.

This woman definitely had an artifact to control ghosts, but Ye Mo didn’t like such dirty things, so he didn’t even ask and burnt everything. Ye Mo scanned his spirit sense. As soon as he killed the woman, all the ghosts from downstairs floated out and disappeared.

“It’s finally quiet now,” Ye Mo sighed. He could go back to concocting pills. But why were none of the disciples of this Four State Nine Moon Temple any good? They were all completely disgusting.

Ye Mo went back to the eighth floor, forgetting to ask the woman if she’d made the elevator rise to the twelfth floor. But it probably was her. Who else would be that bored?

Ye Mo returned to his room and took out the blood coral. He carefully cut off a third. He never hoped to succeed on the first try, so he planned to concoct one cauldron first and then find the difficult parts of making the chi-increasing pill. Then he would make preparations and wholeheartedly make the second cauldron of pills.

Luo Xuan still hadn’t returned, and she probably wouldn’t be back tonight. This was perfect; Ye Mo didn’t want anyone to disturb him while he concocted pills.

He took out the Shen Nong cauldron and shot out a gust of chi fire. Then he took out some supplementary ingredients and dumped them into the cauldron as he started to melt them. There were many supplementary ingredients that could be used for the chi-increasing pill. What Ye Mo used now were all from the Shen Nong Jia. Although they weren’t as good as the ones in the cultivation realm, they were still decent in improving the pill’s potency.

Half an hour later, Ye Mo took out the waste from the cauldron and cut another piece of the blood coral, dumping it in. Another hour later, the medical droplets of blood coral started to coagulate. Ye Mo was getting more and more anxious. It would be good if he could concoct the chi-increasing pill on the first try, but if he couldn’t, he would waste a cauldron full of ingredients.

But after half an hour, Ye Mo started to sweat. The chi-increasing pill wasted too much spirit chi and wasn’t something he could concoct now. But he had no choice. If he didn’t make one, it was impossible to break through fast in this environment.

Ye Mo went from strange to familiar with the concocting process, but the chi-increasing pill still showed no signs of forming. Although Ye Mo was worried, he knew this cauldron was probably going to waste. It wasn’t that his method was wrong, but that his chi wasn’t enough. If he had a chi recovery pill now, he was sure he could finish concocting it.

He knew his chi wasn’t enough, but Ye Mo didn’t want to give up. He still held on tight, trying his luck: perhaps by accident the pill would form.

In a loud bang, the still-liquid ingredients exploded in the cauldron, causing an air wave that pushed Ye Mo out.

Ye Mo’s clothes were completely blown off, and his hair was like wild grass. His body was red with the steaming drips of ingredients. Ye Mo felt shortness of breath as his mouth seeped blood. Luckily, the inner wounds weren’t serious.

His power was still too low. Ye Mo sighed. Just when he was getting up to pack up, his door was kicked open.

Ye Mo didn’t have time to scan his spirit sense and just took back his cauldron without thinking. At the same time, his spirit sense locked onto his flying sword. That person dared to kick his door. He didn’t want to live.

“Mo Ying… are you okay? Sorry, I had something on and I forgot about this. I’m really sorry.” It was Luo Xuan, her eyes full of anxiety and worry.

Now, looking at Ye Mo in such a wounded state, the regret in her eyes was even more. But she continued, “But luckily you’re fine. If something really happened to you, I wouldn’t be able to rest easy for the rest of my life. Although you’re a bad person, I can’t kill people…”

What was she talking about? Ye Mo frowned, wondering what his pill concocting had to do with her. Why was she so worried about him?

But Ye Mo immediately realized he was probably dazed by the explosion. This woman left the black dai wood sword here, obviously wanting to use him. Looking at her reactions, she didn’t want his life. She was probably hindered by something and forgot she left the sword here.

Although Ye Mo realized Luo Xuan wasn’t trying to harm him, he still couldn’t get a good feeling towards her. After all, she wanted to use him and forgot about it when it was life-threatening. It could be seen that she didn’t care about human life, but her worry was real. Considering this, I would let you go this time.

Just when Ye Mo struggled to get up, Luo Xuan took out a jade vase and gave Ye Mo a pill. “This is for recovery. Eat it.”

Ye Mo nodded. He also wanted to see how good this woman’s pills were, but as soon as Ye Mo ate it, his face changed immediately.

“Oh no, I took out the wrong pill!” Luo Xuan’s face changed drastically as she screamed.
