Ye Mo travels towards the Immortal Martial Academy, achieving a breakthrough in his willpower to Astonishing Grade. He then feels an invisible guidance, likely from his Immortal Arm, leading him towards a potential location of its other parts. Following this lead, Ye Mo discovers a strong herbal scent and enters what appears to be a Medicine Valley, battling Red Rock Tigers that guarded the area.

The miasma above the valley, expelled by the aroma of herbs, was completely repelled, making it difficult to approach, which resulted in the Medicine Valley being filled with a rich scent of herbs.

"Although there are many herbs in this Medicine Valley, they are all herbs used to concoct ordinary Pei Yuan pills."

Ye Mo gazed around, recognizing most of the herbs, and realized they were not celestial herbs. For him now, only celestial herbs would be useful.

"Not all of them are ordinary herbs, Ye Mo, go forward five hundred meters, then turn right."

Dragon Glarax said.

"Alright!"

Following Dragon Glarax’s advice, Ye Mo stopped at a location and immediately noticed some herbs emitting a rich aroma, growing in the crevices between two mountain peaks.

"Correct, those are the ingredients for concocting Ninth Realm Yuan Pill, Zhongyuan Grass. These herbs typically grow in extremely dark corners. Harvest all these Zhongyuan Grass, and you should be able to concoct quite a few Ninth Realm Yuan Pills."

The Dragon God said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Mo didn’t hesitate, with a swift move of his hand, he harvested all the Zhongyuan Grass. With one stride, he moved to a more secluded area in the Medicine Valley.

"Quickly, hasten the refining process, I will teach you the method. These Zhongyuan Grass will surely restore my will to Astonishing Grade."

Currently, Ye Mo’s will had already reached Astonishing Grade and was capable of refining the Second-order Nine Heavens Primordial Pill. Glarax had been eagerly anticipating this opportunity for a long time.

"Yes!"

Ye Mo nodded, then immediately brought out the Terrestrial Fiend Cauldron and placed it before him. Ye Mo tossed the Zhongyuan Grass inside, igniting the fire. Luckily Ye Mo had mastered the Law of Fire ahead of time, or he wouldn’t be able to refine the Immortal Pill.

Glarax also taught Ye Mo the method for refining the Zhongyuan Pill. The complexity of this power operation was far greater than ordinary Pei Yuan pills and required added Law of Fire, otherwise it was difficult to refine.

The pill was halfway through the refining process, everything was going smoothly, but at this moment, the Terrestrial Fiend Cauldron started to shake violently, making it difficult for Ye Mo to control his power.

"Damn, the Terrestrial Fiend Cauldron is unable to withstand the pill’s medicinal power; it could explode at any time. Speed up; otherwise, all efforts will be in vain."

Glarax’s expression changed drastically.

"Hmm?"

Being the one refining the pill, Ye Mo naturally knew there was a problem with the Terrestrial Fiend Cauldron. He initially thought it would hold for a while but didn’t expect the Ninth Realm Yuan Pill’s medicinal power to be so terrifying.

Ye Mo accelerated his speed, the Power of Laws also urging furiously.

"Back to the cauldron!"

Ye Mo shouted, trying to complete the final procedure. But at this moment, the Terrestrial Fiend Cauldron suddenly exploded, and the terrifying sound of the explosion, like Heavenly Thunder, blew the clearing into a depression.

"It’s over!"

Ye Mo looked at this scene, face somewhat pale. The Zhongyuan Grass was hard to find and now it was all destroyed.

"Not yet!"

Just as Dragon Glarax’s words fell, Ye Mo saw a purple-glowing Dantian fall from the sky, landing directly into Ye Mo’s hand.

"One pill?"

The amount of herbs should have produced over a dozen Ninth Realm Yuan Pills.

"One is enough!"

Before Ye Mo could react, the Ninth Realm Yuan Pill in his hand disappeared, evidently already taken by Glarax.

"Someone’s coming!"

Just as Ye Mo was about to speak, he heard a warning. Ye Mo’s will spread out immediately and saw dozens of people descending from the sky, landing atop the mountain peaks.

These people were donned in strange costumes, exuding a murderous atmosphere. Especially two among them, cloaked in black, wearing wide-brimmed hats, had already reached the Immortal Class Realm.

Two Immortal Class First Layer, seven Upper Immortals, three Middle-Ranked Immortals—this lineup rivals the former Desperate Mountain Stronghold.

"Boss, this Medicine Valley is our territory, how dare someone intrude?"

One of the marauders spoke with some discomfort.

"Oh? Who’s bold enough to intrude on our territory?"

A black-cloaked, wide-hatted man arrogantly shouted as he glanced at Ye Mo.

"Now that my Immortal Will has reached Astonishing Grade, those two black-cloaked men are obviously Xuanyuan Ze’s followers."

Ye Mo sneered internally. The opponent didn’t dare act immediately, likely fearing suspicion. He recently gained fame in Immortal Spirit City and had conflicts with Xuanyuan Ze. If anything happened to him, Bai Xuzi would certainly trace it back to them. Now they staged this scene, even if he died, it would be said he trespassed the marauders’ territory and was killed.

"There’s no need to pretend. If you want to kill me, do it openly; we’re already in a desolate place."

Ye Mo mockingly laughed, saying, "Your master is a waste; his dogs are all waste. I’m not playing with you today."

After the words left his mouth, Ye Mo’s body stirred with Blood Meteor Energy, transforming into a fiery streak shooting into the distance. The two Immortal Class First Layer Martial Artists weren’t opponents he could handle, but escaping might not be something they could prevent.

"Trying to escape? Fang Tian, stop him!"

A black-cloaked man shouted loudly.

Instantly, another black-cloaked man waved his hands abruptly, causing massive mountain peaks to collapse, transforming into yellow sands. The countless sands contained Earth Law, making each grain of sand weigh a thousand pounds, sweeping over and wrapping Ye Mo.

"Earth Law, Yellow Sand Pyramid!"

Boom!

Sand waves like ocean tides, thousands of feet high, surged forward and buried Ye Mo. The sand directly formed a pyramid a thousand feet high.

This was Fang Tian’s perfect control over earth elements, utilizing the environment to suppress Ye Mo. If Ye Mo mastered Earth Law, he could easily escape. They knew Ye Mo only mastered the Law of Fire, so this tactic was the best means to trap him.

"Being able to control the surrounding sands to suppress me."

Ye Mo, trapped within the pyramid, tried to use his power to break this confinement but it was too strong. Were he not at a Lower-Ranked Immortal level, he might have been crushed.

"The opponent specializes in Earth Law; if you also mastered it, or Wood Law, you could easily escape. As it is, you can only rely on your power to break through."

Mastering Earth Law would allow one to merge into the earth immediately. In the cycle of the Five-Elements Cultivation, wood overcomes earth and could escape similarly. But now Ye Mo had to depend on his own power to break out.

"Damn!"

Ye Mo unleashed the Rising Dragon Pillar completely but couldn’t break free from the pyramid’s suppression.

"Ye Mo, thinking you can escape with your Lower-Ranked Immortal strength, do you think that’s possible?"

At that moment, a voice echoed in his ear, as a sharp sword appeared, piercing his body.

"It’s not easy to kill me!"

Ye Mo realized the opponent had merged into the sands and was attacking him. He roared, unleashing his Astonishing Grade will entirely. A powerful Immortal Aura Field formed; Ye Mo immediately broke free from the Yellow Sand Pyramid’s suppression and emerged from the ground.
