Seeing Ye Mo’s surprise, Jing Yingli said again, “Because to register for the Dan King Competition you must obtain the qualification of a seventh grade or higher Spiritual Dan Master, now you don’t even have the title of Dan King, you don’t even have the title of seventh grade Spiritual Dan Master, so how can you register?”
“My master is the Dan King.” Jin Zhi Chang immediately said
Before, when she learned that her master was a Dan King, Jin Zhi Zhi couldn’t believe it, but now the thing she was most proud of was that she had a Dan King master. Now that Jing Yingli said that Ye Mo was not qualified to register, she immediately asked.
As soon as Jin Zhi Chang asked, she understood what Jing Ying Li meant. It wouldn’t do to only know that one’s master was a Dan King, to participate in the Dan King Competition, one had to get the approval of Dan City. Only Dan Kings who were approved by Dan City were true Dan Kings and could participate in the Dan King Competition.
Of course Jing Yingli knew that Ye Mo was a Dan King, and a fourth grade Dan King at that, and she didn’t continue to explain when she saw that Jin Zhihuang understood what she meant.
“Good.” Ye Mo also knew that this was necessary, if he could now defy the Thundercloud Sect or the Wuji Sect, then he would not even want to go to Dan City to ask for this Dan King title, but to participate in the Dan King Competition, he had to be acknowledged by Dan City.
Jing Yingli obviously saw that Ye Mo actually didn’t care about this Dan King Competition in his heart, his main purpose of participating in the competition was still to have a powerful identity.
She was worried that Ye Mo would not be able to perform at his full level instead of being aggressive, so she thought about it and said to Ye Mo, “If you are sure of entering the top three, then you don’t need to fear Mo Youshen even if you are going against him. Usually the top three of every Dan King Competition will be hired by Dan City as elders or offerings. Mo Youshen’s master, Dan King Changshun, was the third in the Dan King Competition fifty years ago. Nowadays, he is already an elder of Dan City.”
Ye Mo pondered for a moment and said, “If it’s just to get the top three, I should have no problem.”
This was not a lie on Ye Mo’s part, his alchemy technique was a derivation of the ‘Three Life Dictates’, which secretly fit the laws of heaven and earth, and the five elements created their own changes. Plus he was now a fourth grade Dan King, and was similar to that Changshun Dan King, he believed that he would not be inferior to the rest. What’s more, others might need hundreds of years, or even a thousand years, to advance from Fourth Grade Dan King to Fifth Grade Dan King, while he might be able to do it in just one night, this was the inverse of the ‘Three Life Duel’.
Jing Yingli likewise thought that Ye Mo would have no problem achieving the top three. This was what persuaded Ye Mo to come to the Dan King Competition, if Ye Mo couldn’t achieve the top three, this competition wasn’t helping him, it might be hurting him.
Seeing that Ye Mo said almost the same thing, she said with a faint smile, “If you achieve the top three in the Dan King Competition, even if you expose the Heavenly Flame, as long as you stay in Dan City, no one will dare to hit you. Besides, once you become famous in Dan City, it will be much easier for you to become an elder or a high ranking member of Dan City to walk around South An Continent. No matter who you are, you will be addressed with respect as the Dan King. If you need any herbs, you can even just say the word. Someone would be specially delivered to you. This name is even more useful than the sect master of a seven-star sect.”
Ye Mo breathed out, he also never thought that a Dan King of Dan City would have so many benefits. However, he still had the self-awareness, even if his YuanYing cultivation was powerful in refining pills, he wouldn’t dare to expose the Heavenly Flame. In Ye Mo’s mind, he would not expose the Heavenly until he had advanced to the Condensed Body.
When Jing Yingli saw that Ye Mo understood his meaning, he even said, “In fact, even if you don’t get any ranking in the Grand Competition, as long as you get the title of Dan King of Dan City, there will be countless people who will want to flatter you. The only thing to worry about is. Once you don’t get a ranking, it will be easy for the Changshun Dan King to suppress you.”
“I understand, you can take me to see that senior first.” Ye Mo nodded, he thought that Jing Yingli was deliberately helping him, certainly because he was a Formation Master and Dan King, but also because he had saved her. Now it seemed. It was estimated that he was a greater component of the Dan King.
It looked like he had to become a Dan King in Dan City, and he had to make a name for himself in the Dan King Competition. As Jing Yingli had said, if he became famous in Dan City, Mo Youshen he wouldn’t have to be afraid at all. The only thing to worry about was not knowing what the cultivation level of that Changshun Dan King was. If it was a strong existence, even if he stayed in Dan City, he would have to secretly guard against him laying a dark hand on him.
……
Ye Mo thought that the person who could help him register for the Dan King Competition must have some status in Dan City, or at least should live in the centre of the city where the aura was the most abundant. He did not expect Jing Yingli to lead him around seven times, and only stopped when he was already about to reach the corner of the city.
What he saw was a small and shattered magic weapon shop, where an old man, whose age could not be seen, was refining a medium-grade magic weapon, with a concentrated attitude, seemingly with great attention.
The magic weapon shop was both remote and had nothing good, so it was obviously impossible to have customers. Ye Mo thought about how that magic weapon shop of ‘Yu Yang Weapon Pavilion’ in Meteoric Truth City was remote, but they were famous and were able to make money, while this simple magic weapon shop, Ye Mo couldn’t think of how to make money.
“Grandpa Lu, junior Jing Yingli pays his respects.” Jing Yingli, however, had great respect for the old man who focused on smithing, and bowed from afar before he reached close.
Ye Mo’s heart froze, was this the person Jing Yingli was looking for help from? He hurriedly used his divine sense to carefully check this old man’s cultivation level, but found that he was unable to see clearly with his divine sense at all, and was immediately shocked.
Ye Mo was already at the fifth level of YuanYing cultivation at this time, and even if it was the last time that two cultivators had transformed into true, he could still slightly sense the cultivation level of the other party. But this old man who was refining magic weapons, he couldn’t even tell the other party’s cultivation level in the slightest. Wouldn’t that mean that this old man was at least at the cultivation level of a Transformation True?
“What business has little girl come to see me about again?” The old man didn’t seem to be very enthusiastic about Jing Yingli, but after saying this, he swept a glance at Ye Mo, obviously Ye Mo had just used his divine sense to check his cultivation and was already known to him.
“I, Ye Mo, pay my respects to senior.” When Ye Mo saw this old man’s divine sense sweeping in, he hurriedly also went forward to pay his respects.
The old man stared at Ye Mo but nodded, then looked at Jing Yingli and said, “Say, what is it that you want to trouble me with again?”
After hearing the old man’s words, Jing Yingli let out a long breath and said, “Grandpa Lu, this is my friend Ye Mo, he wants to go to the Dan King Competition, but right now his alchemy level hasn’t been recognized by Dan City. If we follow the normal procedure, we will have to wait until at least after the Dan King Competition, so ……
“Do you want me to help him go get a Dan King title and then help him sign up?” The old man said in a buzzing voice, his tone seemingly disdainful.
Jing Yingli, however, said very calmly, “Yes, Grandpa Lu, junior has brought a letter from Aunt Yan.”
When Ye Mo heard the old man’s jarring tone, he knew in his heart that the old man was probably not willing to help. After he heard Jing Yingli’s words, he was a little surprised in his heart as to who that Aunt Yan was that she was able to persuade this old man who seemed so impersonal.
Unexpectedly, that old man suddenly said with a wave of his hand, “I’m not your grandfather Lu, and you don’t need to draw close. But ……”
Speaking here, this old man suddenly looked at Ye Mo again and said, “This guy has a promising future, so today I will give a face to this guy. Your name is Ye Mo, right? Good, take this jade token and give it to those guys from the Dan a*sociation, just say anything.”
After saying that, he threw a green-coloured jade token to Ye Mo, then added, “This jade token will be a souvenir for you in the future, Ye Mo, remember that you owe me a favour. It’s not because of that little girl Jing Yingli that I helped ah, it’s because of you that I helped. Alright, go ahead, don’t delay my refining.”
Both Jing Yingli and Ye Mo looked at each other, not being able to figure out why this was the case at all. However, Jing Yingli saw the opportunity quickly and hurriedly pulled Ye Mo to give this old man a salute and exited the shabby spell shop.
After the two of them walked out a long way, Jing Yingli was still a little embarra*sed, she had brought a letter to help Ye Mo, but she didn’t expect that she wouldn’t even need her, Ye Mo could handle it himself.
“Actually, I simply met this old man for the first time, and I don’t know why he gave me a face.” Ye Mo said first without waiting for Jing Yingli to ask.
He was really a bit confused and didn’t feel much happy about this senior Lu’s kindness. In Ye Mo’s opinion, to offer kindness for nothing was to be treacherous. And this old man surnamed Lu was the same as offering kindness for nothing, but it happened that he could not see why he was doing this and what he wanted to steal from him.
“Senior Lu acts unconventionally, so don’t think too much about it, let’s go to Dan City Dan Meeting first to settle the registration matter.” Jing Yingli saw Ye Mo frowning greatly and had no choice but to persuade him.
“Who the hell is he?” Ye Mo asked, still a little uneasy after thinking about it.
Jing Yingli said with a tone of respect, “Actually, Senior Lu’s status in Dan City can’t be worse than that of the First Dan Master, he has a nickname ‘Land Weapon God’. It means his skill in refining weapons, he is actually a Ninth Grade Weapon Refining Master, the number one person in South An Continent in refining weapons. Apart from a handful of high ranking people in Dan City, very few people knew that he settled in such an inconspicuous place like Dan City.”
“He is a Ninth Grade Weapon Refining Patriarch?” Ye Mo said in shock, when he went there himself, this old man was refining a medium grade magic weapon, such a person was also called an artifact refining patriarch?
Jing Yingli said with a faint smile, “Are you saying that because you saw him refining a magic weapon? Did you think that he was simply the lamest artifact refiner? If you knew what kind of materials he used to refine his magic artifacts, you wouldn’t think so.”
“What materials were they?” Ye Mo subconsciously asked.
Jing Yingli didn’t hide anything, “The materials Elder Lu uses to refine his magic weapons are just anything he picks up randomly from the roadside, these materials don’t have a grade and don’t even have any effect on the cultivator. A piece of clay, a stone, a weed he can use to refine weapons.
Ye Mo sucked in a breath of cold air, to be able to refine a magic weapon out of anything, this was simply appalling. Even if he was a fourth grade Dan King, he would not be able to refine a mortal grade dan pill from ordinary weeds.
“When you said you were taking me to refine weapons, you were looking for this Elder Lu?” Ye Mo thought about what he had said to Yingli earlier.
Jing Yingli shook her head, “If you want Elder Lu to refine weapons, you should not think about it. When I said I would take you to refine weapons, I was looking for another person.”
