The moment Ye Mo took out the purple flower flame, Ning Qingxue felt all the strength in her body leave. Her body was soft but she was relaxed. If Ye Mo just took out the rare flame now, it meant that he never used his true strength before.
With this, it meant that he could at least reach step five, meaning that he was at least a level two pill king.
Level two pill king - Ning Qingxue's heart shook. She knew the value of a level two pill king after staying in South Peace State for so long. Even the Ethereal Immortal Pond only had one level one pill king, and they treated him like a valuable guest.
Ning Qingxue suddenly felt a little bitter. If Ye Mo was a level two pill king, why didn't he come to the Ethereal Immortal Pond for her earlier? A level two pill king was enough to take her away without any resistance.
But then again, she thought that Ye Mo must have his reasons for not picking her up.
When Zheng Heyin saw Ye Mo release the purple flower fire, she seemed a little surprised but then she frowned and glanced at Ning Qingxue saying, "You guys leave first."
"Yes master." Ning Qingxue wanted to leave as quickly as possible. Her master gave her too much pressure.
Huang Qian quickly left too. It felt much better to stay with her master or martial sister, she could say whatever she wanted.
Before Ning Qingxue went back to where she was before, Huang Qian grabbed her wrist saying, "Sister Qingxue, your Luo Xiaomo is a pill king - don't forget about me in the future. Remember to give me Cao Huan Pill, Hollow Meridian Pill, Essence Birth Pill…"
Ning Qingxue smiled and said, "The herbs for those pills are very precious, I will tell him if he has it."
"I knew sister Qingxue was the nicest to me, I was about to risk my life to help you." Huang Qian smiled.
After Ning Qingxue and Huang Qian left, Ning Qingxue's master walked up to the elders and bowed before asking, "Martial uncle Chi, you needed me?"
Martial uncle Chi was a middle aged woman, she looked pretty and was already a body condensation state cultivator. She told Zheng Heyin to sit down before asking, "Heyin, your disciple Qingxue doesn't have a good impression of Fang Zhongshi right?"
Zheng Heyin's face froze and she quickly said, "Martial uncle, don't worry. Qingxue is quite obedient usually, but she's just been very stubborn today. I will persuade her to agree to this."
Martial uncle Chi smiled. "You misunderstood me Heyin, I'm think that since Qingxue isn't willing, then never mind."
"Huh…." She was a hollow spirit state peak stage cultivator and knew some of the things of the sect. She knew a little as to why they had to have a marriage alliance with Lightning Cloud Sect, but since the elder said never mind, she wouldn't force her disciple anymore.
Martial uncle Chi said, "You see that Luo Xiaomo right? He's very young but so talented. With what he has done, he would be approved by city lord Yue Qichao and Shen Guanqing. He has a boundless future ahead of him."
"What do you mean martial uncle?" Shen Heyin looked at the elder. Why did it sound like another Fang Zhongshi?
Martial uncle Chi nodded. "Our Ethereal Immortal Pond is just an 8-star sect and we don't have any power to contest Luo Xiaomo with a 9-star sect, so if we want to be connected to him, we have no other way but beautiful female cultivators. We don't have much else, but we do have a lot of beautiful female cultivators. Ning Qingxue is ranked third in all of South Peace State, there's no way that Luo Xiaomo won't be interested."
"Just in case, bring two more beautiful disciples over to see him."
She sighed. "If our sect wasn't in danger, our Ethereal Immortal Pond wouldn't resort to these means. Don't force those disciples anymore. Try to persuade them nicely and tell them the reason we must do this."
"Yes, martial uncle." Zheng Heyin said. She sighed to herself, Ning Qingxue was unlucky, she was born in this age of great change. Since when did Ethereal Immortal Pond disciples have to suck up to people? It was usually the other way around.
Ye Mo refined spirit herbs even faster after he released the purple flower flame. And since he had concocted Cao Huan Pill a few times before, he concocted it very smoothly.
In the shocked eyes of the judges, he finished a cauldron of Cao Huan pills in just a bit over 15 minutes and continued to step five.
