The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood - Chapter 146

Chapter 146

The Mortal Gates were also an important aspect in becoming a strong warrior . If the Energy Center was a generator, then the Mortal Gates were the electrical appliances . The better the appliances were, the more efficient they will get .

As the Mortal Gates became stronger, their energy output increased significantly, thus enhancing the warrior’s attack power .

Most warriors that have achieved feats such as defeating warriors at a higher level used rare herbs to enhance their bodies, making their Mortal Gates stronger than other people’s .

Ye Mo had intended on using all five of the Goddess’s Tears to enhance his Mortal Gates, allowing them to be able to withstand more Dragon Energies .

Ye Mo locked himself in his room and was about to begin the procedure when Ling’er jumped out from her charm and stopped him .

“You big idiot!” Ling’er shouted . “You’re going to destroy your Mortal Gates if you use them directly . ”

“Then what should I do?” Ye Mo asked .

“These tears are the essence of the Goddess Lake . There are only a couple of tears that are produced each year,” Ling’er explained . “The energy is too concentrated . You should be able to take it directly if you’re a True Energy Realm warrior, but you’re not . You’ll have to mix them with another ingredient to make use of their full potential and not harm yourself in the process . ”

If Ye Mo were to take those tears directly, the extremely dense energy in those tears would make his Mortal Gates explode .

A warrior losing their Mortal Gates was worse than being seriously injured . Injuries could be healed, but losing their Mortal Gates would mean the end of their warrior life .

“What ingredient?”

“The Essence of the Forest . ”

“The Essence of the Forest?” Ye Mo shouted as he almost fell from his bed .

The Essence of the Forest was the essence of all plants . It would be rare to even find one in a huge forest . It was a herb that was brimming with life force .

“Since the Essence of the Forest has a huge amount of life force in them, using them with the Goddess’s Tear should be able to enhance your Mortal Gates to another level,” Ling’er explained .

“To another level?”

“Even Mortal Gates have levels,” Ling’er said as she sat down and hugged her arms . “But the Mortal Gates of most people would never be categorized . Only by enhancing their Mortal Gates pass the normal level can they start seeing the difference . The people outside our zone? Those jaw-breaking powers? That was because they were born better than you as their Mortal Gates are stronger than normal people’s . That’s why the same martial technique is stronger when they use it . ”

“I see! That’s why the Barbarians are stronger than us!” Ye Mo exclaimed . “It’s not that they have stronger powers than us but because their Mortal Gates are stronger than ours!”

“That’s right . ”

“Then, how is the Mortal Gate categorized?”

“The first three levels are Level One Focus, Level Two Focus, and Level Three Focus,” Ling’er said . “Going past the Level Three Focus is when you’ll become really strong, and that’s when you’ll learn Mortal Gate Techniques . ”

“What are Mortal Gate Techniques?” Ye Mo asked as he swallowed . It was his first time hearing those terms; he might even be the first in all of Tianwu Kingdom to hear them .

“It’s still too early for you to learn about that,” Ling’er said . “You should focus on finding the Essence of the Forest first . ”

Ye Mo nodded but did not hurry to the trade market .

The Essence of the Forest was a rare ingredient that had a high price point . He was almost out of Stabilizing Pills . The only things that he had left were two Heavenly Frost Charm, the Rank Two Ice Core from the Jade Siren, and a few rare Rank One Cores .

“I’ll make a few Heavenly Frost Charms and sell them . It should fetch enough money to buy the ingredient I need . ”

He quickly took out the Rank Two Ice Core and five blank charms .

He used almost half of the day drawing the charms . As he finished, five higher-grade Heavenly Frost Charms were placed on the table . Each of them had cost him at least 70 Dragon Energies to make . The last one that he made was even stronger, so strong that it had cost a total of 90 Dragon Energies to withstand the mind attack .

Even Ling’er marveled at the last Heavenly Frost Charm . It was the highest grade that anyone could ever make .

Ye Mo kept the last one to himself and brought the other four to the trade market .

The crowd in the Women’s City trade market was larger than the Hundred Treasure Pavillion . Most of the stalls were owned by the Qi clan .

Eyes began to lock on Ye Mo as soon as he entered the market . It was natural as he was the only man there .

Ye Mo scanned the market and found a stall that was selling charms and walked towards it .

“I have four Heavenly Frost Charm in my hands . Are you interested in buying them?” Ye Mo asked as he took them out . The charms were enveloped in a hint of cold mist .

The old woman who was tending the stall happened to be a Charm Master herself and could instantly tell the charms in Ye Mo’s hands were different . She could not even hide her shocked expression when she saw Ye Mo’s face .

“What a strong aura these charms are giving out,” the old woman said . “The Charm Master who created these must be something else . ”

“10,000 Stabilizing Pills a piece . How about it?”

“I’m old, not dumb . These charms could fetch a higher price than that . ”

“Well, truth to be told, I’m here to buy an Essence of the Forest,” Ye Mo confessed . “I saw one over at the other stall, and it was priced 40,000 Stabilizing Pills . ”

“I see . But I still won’t take you for granted . Three charms for 40,000 Stabilizing Pills . ”

“Deal!” Ye Mo agreed . “I hope you won’t tell anyone I was the one who sold you these charms . I don’t want to invite any unwanted trouble . ”

“Don’t worry . I’ve never given out my clients’ information before . ” The old woman smiled as she handed Ye Mo a bag of pills .

“Thank you!” Ye Mo left the charm stall and went to buy the Essence of the Forest .

The herb was ugly and looked like a dry stick, but Ye Mo could feel an intense life force coming from it .

Ye Mo took the herb and went back to his room with a huge smile on his face .
