Ye Mo’s eyes lit up as soon as he heard what Ling’er had suggested. Charms were proven to be more than helpful in battles. If Ye Mo were to create a charm that was more powerful than the Flame Charm, he could definitely defeat Man Qi.
Yet the words that Ling’er said a moment later sunk him into depression.
“Even if Rank One Charms are strong, there’s no way they could bring harm to Energy Shaping Realm warriors,” Ling’er said as she sat on a piece of charm and shook her pale white legs. “But there’s a catch. You’ll have to be at least in the Energy Shaping Realm to create Rank Two Charms.”
“You should’ve started with that!” Ye Mo scolded.
“But you are different,” Ling’er said. “With the Dragon Energies, your mind’s Mortal Gate is stronger than the average martial artist, so it should be enough to help you create Rank Two Charms. But you’ll have to create a higher grade charm, or you won’t be able to harm Man Qi even one bit.”
Ye Mo understood what Ling’er meant. Even Rank Two Charms came in different grades. Since Ye Mo wasn’t an Energy Shaping Realm warrior, even if he could create Rank Two Charms, they would be of the lowest grade.
“Then what should I do?” Ye Mo asked.
“I know of a very special Rank One Charm that you could use,” Ling’er said. “It’s called the Heavenly Frost Charm. It’s not your normal attack or defense charm. It’s what we call a special effect charm. But even if it’s a Rank One Charm, it’s still very hard to make.”
“Will it freeze my opponent?” Ye Mo asked in awe as the name suggested that the special effect was ice-related.
Another way that warriors used to created charms was by sealing. Charms were martial techniques that were sealed on paper that could then be used whenever the user wanted. It was the same for Beast Charm where the beasts were sealed on the paper.
“It should be able to freeze any warrior below the Half-Energy Shaping Realm,” Ling’er explained. “It can only slow the movements of Energy Shaping Realm warriors, but that’s all we really need.”
The defense of Energy Shaping First Realm warriors wasn’t really outstanding. Only warriors that had reached the Fourth Realm could start to shield themselves using their own energies while Fifth Realm warriors could even strengthen their inner parts.
There was no way that Ye Mo could even land a scratch on Energy Shaping Fifth Realm warriors, but First Realms were a completely different story as their defense might even be lower than Ye Mo’s.
“If I’m not wrong, creating the Heavenly Frost Charm requires a Rank One Charm Paper and Spirit Cultivating Realm Beast Core,” Ye Mo said. “And not just any Beast Core. We need the rarest of them all, an Ice-Beast Core.”
Ling’er had been spouting knowledge regarding charms to Ye Mo whenever they had spare time.
“That’s why we have to find an Ice-Beast Core as quickly as possible,” Ling’er said.
Ye Mo woke up early the next morning, wanting to ask Xiao Yuanshan about the Ice-Beast Core, but before he could even leave his room, Xiao Yuanshan had already sent people to fetch him to the main hall.
“Ye Mo,” Xiao Yuanshan said when Ye Mo arrived at the main hall. “If you don’t have any confidence in winning the fight, then you should try and escape. With your talent and the fact that you can create True Energy Pills, you won’t have anything to worry about in your future. All I ask is that you take care of Xiao Yue when you’ve become successful.”
Xiao Yuanshan had been discussing with his wife and the higher-ups of the Xiao Clan and had came to that conclusion.
“Man Qi is an Energy Shaping First Realm warrior. Not even the Tianyong City has that kind of talent among their people,” Madame Xiao said. “There’s no way that you could defeat him. We’ve discussed with our elders, and we’ve decided that the best option for you is to escape.”
“I know that all of you are worried about me, and I thank you for that,” Ye Mo said. “But once I leave, the Barbarians will definitely target the Xiao Clan! I’ve made a promise to Yueyue to take care of her family. There’s no way I’ll go back on that just because I’m weaker than my opponent.”
“Now’s not the time to act on impulses,” Xiao Yuanshan urged. “Sometimes, running is the best choice. Just help preserve our bloodline when you and Yueyue become a married couple.”
Xiao Yuanshan was willing to sacrifice all of his people to save Ye Mo’s life. As long as Ye Mo and Xiao Yue were still alive, the Xiao Clan’s bloodline would never go dry.
“It’s alright,” Ye Mo said. “Even if Man Qi is an Energy Shaping First Realm warrior, that doesn’t mean I’ll lose to him.”
“Have you thought of a way to defeat him?” Xiao Yuanshan asked in disbelief.
“Of course. I would never agree to a fight if I’m not 100% sure that I’m going to win.” Ye Mo nodded confidently.
“Alright then, do what you have to. Don’t worry, I’ll never let any harm come your way!” Xiao Yuanshan said as his True Energy seeped out. Even if his energy wasn’t targeting a specific person in the room, Ye Mo could still feel the pressure from it. If Xiao Yuanshan had not advanced to the True Energy Realm, Ye Mo would’ve been taken by the Barbarians already.
“There’s one more thing,” Ye Mo said. “Do you have a Rank One Ice-Beast Core?”
“You’re a Charm Master too?” Madame Xiao asked with a surprised expression.
“Yes,” Ye Mo replied. “And I need the core to create a charm.”
“Even as a Basic-Level Charm Master, I’ve never heard of anyone who has been successful in creating charms using Ice-Beast Cores.” Madame Xiao frowned. “Are you going to use the charm against Man Qi? No matter how strong the Rank One Charm is, it’s never going to hurt a Energy Shaping Realm warrior. Is this your secret weapon?”
“Don’t worry, I won’t do anything rash,” Ye Mo said. “Looks like I’ll have to look for it at the Hundred Treasure Pavilion.”
Ye Mo quickly left the Xiao mansion and headed towards for the Hundred Treasure Pavilion to get his hands on a Rank One Ice-Beast Core.
Ye Mo walked into the shop and saw a girl hurrying around the store. She reminded him of Qi Ying as her voice rang in his head.
What? Nothing to say? Do you know who I am? I’m the Imperial Concubine, the future wife of the Emperor. I’ll soon become a powerful existence that everyone except the Emperor has to listen to. My clan got their power because of me since they’ve just become relatives of the royalty. Do you have the power to take the Emperor’s woman away from him? Do you have the power to make the Qi Clan the strongest in all of Tianwu Kingdom?
“Don’t worry, Ye Mo,” Ling’er said as she could feel the change in Ye Mo’s emotion. “There’s still time left. Your power will definitely grow since you’re one of the Ancient Azure Dragon clan. To tell you the truth, I’m actually looking forward to the day when you take her off the Emperor’s hand.
