Chapter 648 - Reversal

Chapter 648: Reversal

The ten Wooden Restraint Seals that Ye Mo cultivated were far more effective than the seals he had cultivated before – near perfection.

Selling these ten Wooden Restraint Seals boosted Ye Mo’s confidence. A crucial aspect of business was reputation. Perhaps fighters may ask him to cultivate Level Five Seals. Who knew?

Along with the Transcendence Pills, Ye Mo spent the whole night cultivating.

The next day morning, Ye Mo woke up and changed the signboard again. The morning was for accepting reservations, and the afternoon was to be spent cultivating seals.

With the sun shining down, Ye Mo stood in front of his residence, extremely confused. There were no Saints trying to make reservations. He didn’t understand.

He left his residence to find out what had happened. What was going on, exactly?

The moment he left the residence, he saw Senior Qiao rushing over to him.

“Junior Ye Mo, your competitor has shown up,” Qiao Yidan said anxiously.

“What? Competitor?” Ye Mo replied in surprise.

“Yes. Yesterday, a genius seal artist of the Desolate Mountain returned,” Qiao Yidan said. “He’s a top-tier seal artist, his seal technique is at Level Four Tier Nine. He’s also hung a signboard in front of his residence – he’s accepting requests to cultivate all types of seals and he’s only asking for 100 Transcendence Pills.”

“What? Let’s check it out,” Ye Mo said as he followed Qiao Yidan to this ‘competitor’s’ residence.

From afar, Ye Mo could see that more than 20 Saints were standing outside the residence, causing a commotion.

There were less than 200 Saints in the Desolate Mountain – more than 20 of them to be waiting to make a reservation was a surprising sight to behold.

“Master Meng Huo has returned. His seal techniques must be even better now.”

“That’s right, that’s right. That newcomer’s asking price is pretty steep. 200 Transcendence Pills? Master Meng Huo is only asking for 100.”

“That new Saint’s still unproven. We aren’t going to let him cultivate seals for us.”

As the crowd discussed among themselves, a middle-aged man walked over slowly. Looking at the twenty plus Saints before him, he held his hands together and said, “Everyone, thank you for your support. This is a Seal Manual, recording all the Level Four Tier Nine Seals that I know how to cultivate.”

Watching on, Ye Mo panicked and rushed over, shouting loudly, “Everyone, I’ll cultivate seals for all of you for free. All I need are the heartstones.”

“Free?” Fang Xi walked up slowly and replied coldly, “Do you think we can’t afford the Transcendence Pills? Everyone, listen up. Yesterday, a few of us headed to his residence, wanting to find him to cultivate some seals for us. Who would’ve thought that he was already closed, saying that his reservations were already full? I didn’t see anyone asking him to cultivate seals for them. Free? I think he’s just using our heartstones to train his seal techniques. The seals he cultivates are worthless.”

“That’s right. The seals he used to defeat Chu Tian were all bought or cultivated by his master. His seal techniques aren’t up to that standard.”

“That Ye Mo is despicable. How dare he use our heartstones to train his own seal techniques. It’s so difficult to even find a monster in the Ninth Tier of the Transcendence Realm.”

The crowd started to discuss.

Looking at Ye Mo, Meng Luo said with a smile, “You must be Ye Mo. I advise you to stop selling your pathetic seal techniques. Compared to me, you’re nothing. As long as I’m here, no Saint will ever come to you for seal cultivating.”

“You! Do you want to compare seal techniques?” Ye Mo said coldly. With his urgent need for heartstones, he could care less about other things.

“Haha, I have no time to compete with you – don’t you see the number of customers that I have?” Meng Luo said as he led the twenty-plus Saints into his residence.

“Darn it, what should I do?” Ye Mo said anxiously.

“Junior Ye Mo, don’t fret.” Qiao Yidian patted Ye Mo’s shoulder. “Seal techniques aren’t determined by word of mouth. One of the seniors who asked you to cultivate seals is currently in a battle with another Saint. Shall we head over and take a look?”

“Battle?” Ye Mo was somewhat confused.

“Us Saints make use of open challenges to settle private disputes. Once the battle ends, so does the conflict. And the rest of us like to place bets in private for a little entertainment.” Qiao Yidan smiled.

Hearing that, Ye Mo smiled. The Desolate Mountain’s training was extremely relaxed – people even had time to play around gambling.

“I won’t be going. You can go without me, I’m heading home.”

At the moment, Ye Mo wasn’t in the mood to watch a competition. With his Heart Training not yet in the Third Tier, he still couldn’t fuse it with the Mountain and River Diagram. He wouldn’t be able to complete the mission his master gave him, to head to the Eastern Water Valley to stop the First Heaven Society.

“Alright then, Junior Ye Mo. If you’re not going, I’ll be leaving. I placed 500 Transcendence Pills on Xu Qingqing, hoping that the seal that you cultivated for her will cause an upset. If that happens, I’ll be 4000 Transcendence Pills richer.”

“Oh? My seal?” Ye Mo frowned. “I’ll follow you to take a look and have a go at the betting game too.”

The two of them headed to the arena of the Desolate Mountain.

The battle stage was the same, but the people involved were two women. One of the females was Xu Qingqing, the Saint who had bought a seal from Ye Mo the day before. She was in the Half Profound Realm. The other woman was in the Half Profound Realm as well, but her aura was much stronger than Xu Qingqing’s.

The two of them were absolute beauty figures of the Desolate Mountain, and each had their fair share of admirers.

On the stage, the two of them were engaged in a fierce battle. The roars from below the arena were wild – no one wanted their beloved figure to lose.

It was obvious that Xu Qingqing’s attacks were all being suppressed by her opponent and she was forced to retreat several steps. But it would be a while before the fight came to an end.

At that moment, betting had stopped. Bu the odds against Xu Qingqing were extremely high.

“Xu Qingqing, admit defeat!” Her opponent yelled as the long sword in her hand unleashed a towering light blade and attacked Xu Qingqing wildly. Seeing that, Xu Qingqing frowned before unleashing the Wooden Restraint Seal. As the True Energy Seeds dispersed, they started to restrain her opponent the moment they made contact with her. All forms of attack were stopped in an instant.

“What is this?”

Feeling as if her body was restrained by vines, the opponent was stunned for a moment before she escaped from the restraint. A Level Four Tier Nine controlling seal couldn’t hold someone at that level. While the seal couldn’t restrain her, it did reveal a loophole in her attack that Xu Qingqing exploited. With a fearsome strike, Xu Qingqing struck her opponent’s shoulder.

Pssst!

As the sword landed, it was clear that the end was guaranteed. Xu Qingqing had used her seal to reverse the result of the battle.

“Did you just use the seal cultivated by that Saint?” Holding onto her shoulder, Xu Qingqing’s opponent asked in disbelief.

“That’s right,” Xu Qingqing said. “I went to his residence yesterday and made him help me cultivate two seals. Who would’ve thought that I’d be able to defeat you using this seal.”

She jumped off the battle stage and left, smiling proudly the whole time.

“Seal? It’s the seal Ye Mo cultivated. Let’s hurry and go find him to cultivate some seals. A Level Four Tier Nine seal able to make a difference in a battle between Half Profound Realm fighters? That’s incredible.”
