The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood-Chapter 1032 - 1033: Jun Shaoxie’s Weakness

"Certainly."

Sima Hongchen nodded and continued, "I am the only one who knows Jun Shaoxie’s weakness, though this is my own speculation. I’ve never seen Jun Shaoxie drink alcohol. Back in the day, when Miao Sanniang, whom Jun Shaoxie deeply cherished, was marrying him, the wedding was grand, yet he still didn’t touch alcohol. Even their ceremonial cups were filled with tea instead of wine."

The wedding toast is a tradition, even if one’s alcohol tolerance is low, they wouldn’t skip it. The only possibility is that drinking poses some harm to him.

"Are you suggesting that alcohol could drastically weaken the power of the Vermilion Bird Divine Cauldron?"

Ye Mo’s heart stirred, and he couldn’t help but ask.

"That should be correct."

Sima Hongchen continued, "However, it’s almost impossible to get him to drink. He’s extremely sensitive to the taste of alcohol; he can tell just by smelling it."

"Do you have any solutions?"

Ye Mo asked.

Getting Jun Shaoxie to drink is clearly unrealistic. Given that he doesn’t touch alcohol, no scheme would force him to drink.

"Have you heard of the Life Spring?"

Sima Hongchen asked.

"Yes!"

Ye Mo nodded. "In the Wraith Wasteland’s Mountain of Wraith, there are rivers of life and death, suppressing various Evil Demons, along with the formidable Wraith Demon Emperor."

"Indeed, the Mountain of Wraith is extremely dangerous, and there are also numerous ancient unique clan powerhouses hidden there."

Sima Hongchen’s expression was grave. "Many martial artists at the Wheel of Reincarnation Realm, and even Divine Venerate Strong Practitioners have ventured to the Mountain of Wraith. With luck, they might obtain the Life Spring or Water of Death while risking a great deal. If we could acquire a flask of Life Spring and blend it with specially crafted liquor, the spring’s powerful life essence would mask the liquor’s scent. He’s bound to drink on the spot, showcasing his status as the leading figure of the sect in Spirit Land."

Sima Hongchen had a deep understanding of Jun Shaoxie’s character.

The Dragon Abyss Cave of the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan also housed Life Spring, which he drank, knowing its rarity, but to obtain it directly from the Mountain of Wraith would be as dangerous as avoiding the pursuit of a Divine Venerate Strong Practitioner.

Even though Sima Hongchen’s plan sounded plausible, it was exceedingly risky.

"Who is Qin Ya? How could she gain Jun Shaoxie’s favor? Could it be that she’s even more capable than Miao Sanniang?"

Ye Mo asked curiously.

"I’m not sure either. Rumor has it that he met her during his travels. Any woman Jun Shaoxie sets his eyes on, he usually manages to win over."

Sima Hongchen replied, "Moreover, besides Qin Ya, Jun Shaoxie is interested in another woman he met in Spirit Wood City, named Yao Yue. According to him, she might have killed someone from the Deathless Ice Phoenix Clan, and he’s also planning to marry her."

"Yao Yue, Deathless Ice Phoenix Clan! This Jun Shaoxie is courting death. It seems killing him sooner rather than later is in my best interest."

Ye Mo felt a surge of murderous intent; he was certain this Yao Yue was his Yao Yue, and when he left the Zone of Desolation, Yao Yue and Xiao Yue were both Heavenly Profound Realm experts and likely have ascended to the Cosmos Realm and left the Zone of Desolation.

"Hmph, it seems I must deliver the Life Spring."

Ye Mo snorted coldly.

"Alliance Hierarch, it was just a suggestion earlier. Are you really going?"

Sima Hongchen asked.

"What? Do you have any other plans?"

Ye Mo asked.

"None. If the Alliance Hierarch is truly going to the Mountain of Wraith, you should prepare thoroughly. I’ll immediately return to Yunlan Sect to report. There’s only half a month until Jun Shaoxie’s wedding banquet; I’ll try my best to keep it under wraps."

Sima Hongchen said.

"Alright, here are 100 Wheel of Reincarnation Pills."

Ye Mo grabbed 100 Wheel of Reincarnation Pills from the field and said, "Take 50 for yourself, and deliver 50 for the report, saying you obtained them from me. If we can annihilate Yunlan Sect this time, I’ll credit you a big achievement."

Sima Hongchen received the Wheel of Reincarnation Pills excitedly and said, "Thank you, Alliance Hierarch. I’ve disliked Jun Shaoxie for a long time."

After speaking, Sima Hongchen also departed.

Ye Mo contemplated for a moment, planning to visit the Mountain of Wraith. Although it was dangerous, with proper preparation, acquiring the Life Spring wasn’t impossible.

"The Five Element League is currently secure, and with half a month’s time, I must hasten my preparations for going to the Mountain of Wraith."

Returning to the league, Ye Mo handed the Heihun Guizhan Sword to Xiang Tianxing. This weapon was of no use being with him, initially giving it to Xiang to defend himself.

Next, Ye Mo planned to purchase some eighth-order beast cores. Having reached eighth-order Heartforce, he wanted to attempt refining eighth-order seals again, and among the seals taught by the little girl, there was one to suppress restless soul miasma. If he could refine such a seal, the risk of going to the Wraith Wasteland would be significantly reduced.

After arranging everything, Ye Mo leaped away from the Five Element League.

Currently, he was headed to the Spirit Land’s Heart, which connected the east, west, south, and north cities, and was Spirit Land’s largest city, Spirit Wood City.

After three hours of flight, Ye Mo saw a massive city.

This city had enormous gates on all four sides, bustling with traffic, connecting the Four Spirit Regions. Outside the city, a huge egg-shaped barrier cloaked the city, with many experts patrolling around. Numerous martial artists from the Four Spirit Regions descended from the sky, landing at the four city gates, handing over demon cores before entering the city.

This egg-shaped barrier was a powerful array; ordinary Wheel of Reincarnation Realm experts couldn’t break through it, but with Ye Mo’s current means, one punch could shatter the barrier.

Nonetheless, Ye Mo naturally wouldn’t seek trouble without reason. According to his knowledge, Spirit Wood City held a clan named Profound Heart Sect, an old sect that reportedly only accepts female disciples, with strength second only to Yunlan Sect. However, the old sect master of the Profound Heart Sect recently passed away and was succeeded by a young and beautiful woman, who was highly formidable.

Ye Mo directly descended and entered through the east gate, paying some demon cores before entering Spirit Wood City.

"Rumor has it Spirit Wood City houses a massive trading market, which belongs to the Mu Family enterprise and is even larger than the Dayi Exchange in Nightfall City."

After several inquiries upon entering Spirit Wood City, Ye Mo headed directly into the trading market.

"Selling Wheel of Reincarnation Pills! These are eighth-order alchemists’ refined Wheel of Reincarnation Pills, used by Cosmos Realm experts for cultivation, with rapid progress."

"Void Sky Jellyfish, the best material for crafting Immortal Artifacts, only five million demon cores!"

"Here lies ten thousand-year-old Fire Spirit Ganoderma, an essential herb for cultivating fire attribute cultivation techniques. There are ten here, three million demon cores to take it all!"

Upon entering the trading market, Ye Mo was immediately astounded. The scene before him exceeded his imagination, resembling a marketplace, except they sold expensive cultivation resources instead of vegetables.

Materials, treasures, Pei Yuan pills, seals, spiritual medicine—everything rare for cultivation.

Amidst the chaotic noises and bargaining sounds, a highly vulgar atmosphere permeated through.
