Chapter 599: The Opportunity is Here Translator: Timothy_ Editor: GlobeGlotter

The nun heard Ye Mo’s words and remained expressionless. She produced a black pill and gave it to him. “This will help your wound. Take it.”

Ye Mo took the pill, but his expression immediately turned angry. He could tell it wouldn’t cure anything. Its poor quality allowed him to smell the pungent, highly poisonous Bing Shi grass. After ingestion, it would block one’s five senses, and without an antidote within forty-nine days, those senses would be lost forever. However, Ye Mo possessed the lotus life seed; he could cure it even forty-nine years later.

The nun was cruel. Giving him such a thing—did she not want him to help?

“Master Jie Xun, I only have mild injuries. This leg will heal in a few days; I don’t need a pill,” Ye Mo said, glancing at the nun’s cold eyes. “This pill is too precious; I should save it for later.”

“It’s fine. I have many. Take as many as you want,” the nun said calmly, as if she truly possessed a large quantity.

But Ye Mo knew Bing Shi grass was rare; she couldn’t have many. She was forcing him to eat it. Did that mean she suspected him?

Thinking this, he said, “I should leave such valuable things for Master. I’m not used to taking them.”

“Hmm—you claim to want to learn from a master, yet you suspect me! Who are you? Hui Yan Town doesn’t exist,” the nun said angrily.

Ye Mo was shocked. No way. Her mention of Hui Yan Town revealed she never intended to let him live. She wouldn’t name a fake place.

‘Wait.’ The nun was tricking him. Realizing this, he feigned astonishment. “Master, how is that possible? Many people know about Hui Yan Town. In fact, all those seeking adventure in the Duan Heng Ranges stay there.”

“In that case, take me there first. I do need people with martial talent,” the old nun said, as if she hadn’t accused him moments before.

Ye Mo cursed the old woman’s shamelessness. If he hadn’t withstood the test, he would have been tricked. The nun was clearly suspicious. Ye Mo could only act ignorant and follow her joyfully, secretly pocketing the pill.

“What? You don’t trust me? Why won’t you take that pill? Don’t you want to recover sooner?” Jie Xun asked intently.

Ye Mo cursed. He was being threatened by an old woman.

Despite this, he had no choice but to eat the pill. He knew the nun wanted to prevent him from calling for help. Ye Mo realized she wouldn’t relax around him for at least half a month. As soon as she did, he would escape to Beiwei and take the lotus life pill.

But if he ran away, she would find him. If she couldn’t find him in time, perhaps she would be the one running. However, if she escaped, he wouldn’t get his golden page and spirit stone.

Ye Mo suddenly remembered the motorbike he had seen. Could he escape using that?

“Do you know many people in Hui Yan Town?” the old nun suddenly asked.

“Yes, I know most of the young people there. They would all like to train martial arts, if—” Ye Mo started to say something else, but the nun stopped him.

“I need you to help me immensely; I don’t need you to know many people. Just put up a sign saying ‘Testing Martial Talents’,” the old nun waved her hand.

“Wear this,” the old nun produced a thin object and gave it to Ye Mo.

Ye Mo cursed again. How did she have so many valuable items? It was a one-time-use mask made of expensive materials. A normal person couldn’t remove it once worn. He suspected she had found an ancient cultivation home.

If he recovered his power, he wouldn’t have to worry about the mask.

“Once you put it on, don’t try to remove it at any random moment. You can only take it off when I help you,” she said calmly, but Ye Mo felt the killing intent.

He sighed, but agreed and put on the mask.

The nun nodded in satisfaction when she saw Ye Mo’s lack of resistance.

He smelled a faint scent of blood on a light breeze. He immediately recognized the black bear; it had come to them. Ye Mo knew this was his chance.

“Master Jie Xun, let me see that stone again. It’s very strange; I think I’ve seen it somewhere before,” Ye Mo said, forming a plan.

For some reason, the nun actually gave it to him. “You can have a look. When you use the stone to test them, I will be watching. If they meet the requirements, I will tell you. If I don’t say anything, it means they didn’t pass.”

Ye Mo quickly thanked her and excitedly grabbed the spirit stone. It was much larger than the ones he’d gotten in the Mei Nei Snow Mountains.

Ye Mo fell a few steps behind, and then they heard a roar. A huge black bear saw them and charged.

Ye Mo rejoiced. The bear had arrived just in time. He turned and ran without hesitation. “Master Jie Xun, I’m being chased by this bear! It came again; I’ll retreat, don’t worry about me!”

Ye Mo jumped onto a branch and ran rapidly. Jie Xun tried to grab the spirit stone and throw it to the bear, but missed. She had kept Ye Mo to get more people, but mainly to find out why he could sense the stone without being sucked into the formation.

However, facing the bear’s threat, she abandoned Ye Mo. Although she could defeat the bear, it would consume much qi, and the young man might escape. Moreover, he now held the stone.

But Ye Mo was already more than ten meters away. Jie Xun cursed, but took out her horsetail whisk broom and whipped the bear’s eyes.

Ye Mo looked back and confirmed it: the nun was also heavily injured. If she hadn’t been, he wouldn’t have been able to run away. She could have killed the bear with one kick; after all, she possessed half-step great heaven power.

But that wasn’t the case. Her reaction with the whisk was too slow. The strike hit the bear’s head, but its hide was thick. The bear was enraged and charged again.

Ye Mo ran toward the motorbike, but he wasn’t in a hurry. If the nun couldn’t defeat the bear, he would try to take her bag and see if the golden page was inside.

Just as the bear was about to ram the nun, she hummed something and kicked its throat. The bear rolled downhill many times and managed to stand, but didn’t dare approach again.

Ye Mo immediately realized the bear was no match for the nun. He should start running.

Seeing Ye Mo run, the nun became furious and started chasing him. The bear, seeing the nun run, instinctively charged at her again.
