Strongest Abandoned Son

Ye Mo didn’t know what the middle-aged woman meant so he didn’t speak.

After she applauded Ye Mo, she said, “I heard you requested for news of a few level nine spirit herbs?”

Ye Mo replied, “Yes, wan bei’s qian bei needs Immortal Curl Flower. I know this sort of spirit herb only occurs in legends, but I still want to ask around. Even if I can’t find it, I know I tried.”

The woman smiled and didn’t jeer at Ye Mo overestimating himself. “Immortal Curl Flower is indeed only in legends, no one has ever found it. I do have news about it, but it’s probably fake…”

Ye Mo’s heart skipped. He quickly got up and bowed to the woman. “Please tell me sister Meng, if there’s anything you need me to do , I will do my best.”

He knew why this woman only spoke halfway, she was clearly waiting for him to ask. But he couldn’t help it, it didn’t matter if he suffered a little loss for Ji Ling qian bei.

The woman nodded and asked Ye Mo, “Are you a level six formation great master?”

Ye Mo was already level eight formation grand master and in a few years he might even reach level nine formation grand master.

But Ye Mo knew he didn’t need to say it as level six formation great master was clearly enough. That woman thought he was level six formation great master and still called him over.

Ye Mo felt the more he could hide the better so he nodded, “I’m rather experienced in level six formations.”

The woman didn’t notice Ye Mo’s play on words and believed Ye Mo admitted he was a level six formation great master so she immediately said happily, “It seems that our sea cultivator alliance’s luck is good.”

Then she asked, “You have no sea chi on you at all, you must not be from Heartless Sea. Your bones are rather immature and you’re very lively, you must not be older than 100, you’re probably even only 30 to 40. An ordinary cultivator who can reach body condensation state tertiary stage at this age and be a great master in both formation and forgery – I, Meng Hanan, have never seen this before…”

Ye Mo was shook – this woman was too powerful! She could even tell his age.

The young girl behind her also looked at Ye Mo in shock. She thought that Ye Mo would be nearly 100 if not older but her master said he was only 30 to 40? How was this possible?

Seeing Ye Mo nodded, she said happily, “Since you came here, you probably already know the three powers of the Heartless Sea outer sea?”

Ye Mo nodded.

The woman continued, “The three powers are rather colloborative but that’s only when the beast tide comes.”

The borders of Heartless Sea is big but the concentration of the top cultivation resources are at a huge island. That island is called Feng Qu Island, it has tens of thousands of kilometer of area and has an abundance of high level spirit herb. This island is the place where the three powers gather their high level spirit herbs, but it can only be entered once every 50 years. The cultivators who can go in are only foundation establishment state and the spots are limited.”

Meng Hanan looked at Ye Mo and said, “Master Ye, you probably know what I mean now. if we have more people going in, then we gather more spirit herbs, but if we have less then there are less spirit herbs.”

Ye Mo asked in confusion, “Then just send the same number of people as the three powers?”

Meng Hanan sighed. “If it’s split like that, we Sea cultivator alliance would agree the most, that Feng Qu Island has a huge formation protecting it. It’s probably left behind by ancient cultivators. Every 50 years, foundation establishment state cultivators can stay in there for a month. At most 100 cultivators can go in, so if everyone sends in 33 there’s still one extra. Just for that one extra, no one is willing to give it up.”

Ye Mo was speechless. Just take turns then!

Meng Hanan explained, “That Tong Hai Cult leader Yong Lanyi believed Tong Hai Cult is the strongest, so they should have one extra spot. We and the Cang Hai palace didn’t agree so eventually, we’ve decided on having a tournament to decide how many people goes in. the first has 50 spots, second has 30, and third has 20 spots.”

Ye Mo realized and looked at her, “Sister Meng, you want me to go to the tournament for sea cultivator alliance?”

Meng Hanan nodded, “Yes, our sea cultivator alliance has become last three times in a row. We’ve been getting the least amount of spirit herbs. Even prodigy cultivators need high level spirit herbs to be produced. Because we have been getting the least spirit herbs, our power has been sliding down.”

Ye Mo was thinking that according to what Meng Hanan said, that island would even have level eight spirit herbs, this was rather substantial. Even the Truth Fall Palace didn’t have level eight spirit herbs.

Meng Hanan smiled. “With master Ye’s body condensation state tertiary stage power and formation great master skills, if you can get second in the tournament for us, we would have ten extra spots. I can promise you a Kun Filling Pill.”

Ye Mo didn’t care about a Kun Filling Pill at all. He was a level seven pill king, he already had the spirit herbs for Kun Filling pills. Although it was said to be free pill concoction after the pill concoction tournament at Pill City, the big sects weren’t stupid enough to really let a level seven pill king concoct free for them.

But Ye Mo still said, “Thank you sister Meng.”

Meng Hanan saw that Ye Mo seemed very calm after hearing the Kun Filling Pill and was a little surprised. Usually, a body condensation state tertiary stage would be overjoyed hearing about this pill.

She didn’t think much and said, “This is a tournament between cultivators within 100 years old. The place is a misty island next to the Feng Qu Island called Qu 18 Disks.”

“It has nothing to do with the Feng Qu Island. The island is always hidden in the mist and would only show when the Feng Qu Island is about to show. It also has many formations that are set by ancient cultivators. Each disk’s formation level is different, the higher the number, the higher level the formation. Cultivators who go in the disk can be easily killed if they’re not careful, those lucky would be teleported out.”

Ye Mo thought of the Pill City Pill King 12 Steps, why did this sound so familiar?

Meng Hanan suddenly asked, “You probably came from South Peace State, you must’ve heard of the Pill King 12 Steps.”

Ye Mo was shook, he thought Meng Hanan was reading his mind, but when he looked at her he realized that wasn’t the case. He breathed easy and nodded, “Sister Meng, I came from South Peace State, I’ve heard of the 12 Pill King Steps.”

Meng Hanan nodded. “It’s said that the 12 Pill King Steps was a low grade immortal artifact made by an ancient immortal forger based on the Qu 18 Disks…”

“What?” Ye Mo was shook. He had always thought the 12 Pill King Steps was a formation set up by a powerful being for the pill king tournament.

Meng Hanan smiled. “Probably even a lot of people in Pill City don’t know. There’s nothing strange about it. Many people thought Qu 18 Disks is an immortal artifact, but it’s indeed an island.”

Ye Mo asked, “Sister Meng, you want me to represent the sea cultivator alliance to compete there?”

Meng Hanan said apologetically, “Yes, those cultivators older than 100 years would be teleported away by the 18 disks, sometimes even killed. No matter how strong you are, you can only go in if you’re younger than 100 years. You’re young enough and you’re a formation master. You should be able to get to the 9th disk. If you get there we can get second place for sure. Although your power isn’t very high amongst the contestants, your formation skills can cover for that…”

“What?” Ye Mo was shook. He was body condensation state level seven, were there people at body condensation state level eight within 100 years? In the South Peace State, even body condensation state within 100 years was extremely rare, much less body condensation state tertiary stage.
