Ye Mo smiled. He didn’t want to make things difficult for Wang Xiyue, so he said, “He’s right, this suite is my property. Sorry.”

“Then that makes things easy. Even if you move out for a few days, the place will still be yours. Of course, my friend won’t let you lose out; he’s a hidden master too,” Wu Yingyuan said. He thought that would be the best approach. After all, he was a Vice-Mayor; these two young people would agree immediately.

From what Wu Yingyuan could see, Ye Mo looked quite average. Although Han Yan had a good temperament, she wasn’t exceptionally beautiful. She was probably just a relative of Wang Xiyue’s.

But unexpectedly, Ye Mo coldly scanned him and said, “Sorry, Mayor Wu, please leave now. I still have some things to discuss with Boss Wang.”

Wu Yingyuan was furious at being dismissed. He’d had to be very tolerant these past few days, but now even a young man dared to send him away?

“Boss Wang, I believe there are some things young people don’t fully understand,” Wu Yingyuan said. He knew Wang Xiyue was well-connected in the ghost city and understood his character.

Wang Xiyue looked pained. He knew what Wu Yingyuan wanted.

Ye Mo’s face fell, and he said plainly, “Didn’t you hear me? I don’t want to rent out my house. Are you a government representative or a robber?”

“Good, the young are brave! I’ll relay his words exactly, but I believe Boss Wang can imagine the consequences.” The portly man left.

Wang Xiyue had wanted to appease Wu Yingyuan without offending him, but Ye Mo’s actions had cornered him. Although Wang Xiyue knew Ye Mo was a powerful master unafraid of Wu Yingyuan’s implied threat, this incident would certainly cause Wu Yingyuan to make things difficult for him.

Ye Mo guessed Wang Xiyue’s worry and patted his shoulder. “Boss Wang, don’t worry; you won’t be affected. What I’m curious about is why I haven’t seen any elders at the tournament?”

Wang Xiyue, though doubtful, answered, “According to the waiters, they went to a meeting to exchange items, but I don’t know the specifics.”

So that was it. Ye Mo finally understood. It was difficult for members of the hidden sects to gather completely, so they were holding an exchange meeting. If there was another auction, he might attend.

Thinking this, Ye Mo gave Wang Xiyue a black bracelet. “Thank you. I consider you a friend. This defensive artifact is something I made in my spare time; it’s yours now.”

Wang Xiyue accepted it with joy and surprise. He knew anything Ye Mo gave would be valuable. After wearing it, he immediately felt its strength and thanked Ye Mo profusely. Furthermore, since Ye Mo considered him a friend, he no longer worried about Wu Yingyuan. Worst case, he’d move to another city.

After Wang Xiyue left, Han Yan said worriedly, “Brother Ye, the person you offended was from the Yi Jian Sect, and the man who knelt was from the Xia family. They are powers our sect can’t handle. I’m afraid this night…”

Ye Mo smiled and didn’t answer directly, saying instead, “Yes, your power is too low. You’re at the yellow level tertiary stage, and haven’t fully consolidated it yet. If you enter the tournament like this, it will be very difficult.”

Han Yan blushed. She knew Ye Mo was right. But this tournament was crucial for her, and rarely did anyone in the Guang Han Sect reach the yellow level tertiary stage before thirty. She was already a genius by their standards.

Ye Mo saw her thoughts and said, “You gave me a thousand-year lotus seed, and I promised you a pill when I had the chance. Now, I’ll give you two pills to choose from. One is a lotus life pill made from the seed; the other is a chi-increasing pill.”

Seeing Han Yan’s confusion, Ye Mo said, “The lotus life pill can cure any injury and even revive the dead, depending on the brain’s condition.”

“There’s really such a precious pill?” Han Yan asked dubiously, but didn’t deny its possibility.

“If such a pill exists, I’d want it. Can it even cure cancer?” Han Yan asked.

Ye Mo nodded. “Theoretically, yes, but don’t you want to know about the chi-increasing pill?”

Han Yan immediately replied, “No matter how potent, it can’t be as strong as the lotus life pill. Of course, I want the lotus life pill.”

Ye Mo smiled and placed two vials on the table. “The left is a lotus life pill; the right is a chi-increasing pill. The chi-increasing pill can raise ancient martial artists 1 to 3 levels, depending on talent.”

“What? Wouldn’t that be more powerful than the black rising pill?” Han Yan was stunned. If such a pill existed, wouldn’t there be countless ancient martial artists?

Ye Mo waited for her to choose.

Han Yan took the chi-increasing pill without hesitation. “Of course I want the chi-increasing pill, but does it really have that effect?”

Ye Mo smiled. “You’ll know after you take it.”

Then Ye Mo asked, “Do you know the power levels of those entering this tournament?”

Han Yan shook her head. “I don’t, but I know there will be at least ten black level geniuses. The rest should be at the yellow level tertiary or peak stage.”

Ye Mo nodded. With Han Yan’s talent, this chi-increasing pill should allow her to reach black level and place in the top thirty. Without it, she’d have a 90% chance of failure.

Han Yan looked at the pill with excitement. If it was real, she wouldn’t need to compete. Her main goal was a black rising pill; she didn’t care about the couple hundred million.

Seeing Han Yan hesitate, Ye Mo said, “Eat the pill and then begin cultivating. I’ll get you a weapon.”

Han Yan listened and ate the pill.

The chi-increasing pill melted instantly, resolving into intense, pure essence chi that surged through her meridians. She sat and circulated her cultivation method to absorb it.

Three hours later, Han Yan stood up excitedly. In three hours, she’d reached the peak of the black level primary stage. She only needed a breakthrough to reach the black level middle stage. The pill was incredible! She didn’t dare imagine its worth.

Ye Mo entered and praised, “Not bad, you’re at the peak of the black level primary stage. You can definitely get into the top thirty. If you do well, you might even reach the top ten.”
