The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood-Chapter 1034 - 1035: Competing in Seal Technique
"Yes, I am going to craft an eighth-order seal now!"
Ye Mo nodded. Although he couldn’t yet craft an eighth-order seal, he had accumulated much experience from previous failures, and he was confident in crafting the Evil-Repelling Bell Seal.
As long as one crafts an eighth-order seal, they can be called an Eighth-Order Rune Master, a Heavenly Master, or a Heavenly sealing artist.
"But we can’t give it to you; this beast core is reserved for the Sect Master."
The young girl was momentarily stunned, then continued speaking.
"Hehe, what I admire most are charm masters, especially the art of seal crafting. Young brother, you say you are an eighth-order Heavenly sealing artist. If you can craft an eighth-order seal, I will take the initiative to give you five of the dark elemental heart-stones."
Master Yuan said.
"What? Master Yuan, how can you do this?"
The girl was slightly angry: "These are the beast cores our Sect Master wants."
"I am well aware."
Master Yuan chuckled: "Although your Profound Heart Sect is the second largest sect in Lingzhou, we at Jin Xiao Bao Lou do not fear you. This young brother is so young, and if he truly is a Heavenly sealing artist, I naturally must vigorously recruit him."
An eighth-order Heavenly sealing artist is extremely rare in any power, even in super first-rate forces across the Lingwu Continent.
Moreover, Master Yuan considered one more thing, Ye Mo’s potential. Such a young eighth-order Heavenly sealing artist might one day advance to the ninth rank seal.
"You."
The girl was so angry at Master Yuan’s words that she stomped her foot, unable to say anything.
"I’m sorry; if I get a chance, I will personally visit and apologize."
Ye Mo smiled.
"Hmph!"
The girl stomped her foot again and left Jin Xiao Bao Lou.
"It’s unwise for Master Yuan to offend the Profound Heart Sect for my sake."
After the girl left, Ye Mo immediately said.
"Though the Profound Heart Sect is powerful in Lingzhou, we don’t necessarily pay them any mind. Conversely, it is you, young brother, reaching the eighth-order Heart Force at such a young age that deserves our attention. You want to buy the eighth-order dark elemental heart-stone, presumably to craft an eighth-order seal."
Master Yuan observed Ye Mo’s expression, a slight smile appearing on his face: "Of course, the premise is that you have the ability to craft an eighth-order seal."
"In this regard, Master Yuan can rest assured!"
Ye Mo nodded, displaying immense confidence on his face.
"Good, I’ll immediately prepare a spacious room for you!" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
With that, Master Yuan arranged for staff to prepare a room. They even provided the eighth-order beast core and charm paper for Ye Mo. Compared to a Heavenly sealing artist, these things were trivial.
"Alright, I’ll take you there now!"
Once Master Yuan finished speaking, the girl from the Profound Heart Sect stormed over again and said, "Our Sect Master has said that we won’t relinquish these ten dark elemental heart-stones. She wants to compete with you in seal techniques."
"What? Compete in seal techniques?"
Upon hearing this, Master Yuan was utterly surprised. The newly appointed Sect Master of Profound Heart Sect, young and beautiful, was considered a Pride of the Heavens among her peers. He didn’t expect that she would also be a charm master.
Moreover, she wanted to compete with Ye Mo in seal techniques, which indicated that the Sect Master of Profound Heart Sect was likely a Heavenly sealing artist too.
"Correct, the Sect Master said she wants to compete with him in seal techniques. If he loses, these ten dark elemental heart-stones remain ours. But if the Sect Master loses, we’ll give him five."
The girl puffed up with anger at Ye Mo, her big watery eyes glaring at him with defiance.
"Haha, interesting, competing in seal techniques."
Master Yuan laughed heartily and said, "Young brother, do you dare to accept the challenge?"
"Of course!"
Ye Mo nodded. He was also eager to see what kind of person the newly appointed Sect Master of Profound Heart Sect was.
Moreover, with competition comes pressure.
"You reckless child, you’re sure to lose!"
The girl stuck out her tongue and said, "Since the Sect Master doesn’t want to meet outsiders, we ask Master Yuan to accompany us to the Profound Heart Sect as a referee for the contest."
"I’ve long heard that the Sect Master of Profound Heart Sect is a stunning beauty. In that case, I’ll personally visit the Profound Heart Sect."
Master Yuan said.
"And you, come with me!"
The girl said and then led Ye Mo and Master Yuan out of Jin Xiao Bao Lou, heading towards the Profound Heart Sect.
Moments later, Ye Mo saw the gate archway of the Profound Heart Sect, flanked by several female disciples of the sect.
"Junior Sister Luo Xue, who are these two?"
One of the female disciples of the Profound Heart Sect came forward and asked the girl.
"Honored guests of the Sect Master!"
Luo Xue said, taking Ye Mo and Master Yuan into the Profound Heart Sect.
Ye Mo also saw more than a thousand people neatly lined up on a distant square, all women in uniform white robes.
"Tsk tsk, if any men were cultivating here, they probably wouldn’t advance far."
Ye Mo couldn’t help commenting.
"Our Profound Heart Sect has never accepted male disciples, and we’re the second-largest sect in Lingzhou. Even if we let a man cultivate, they could become a master."
Luo Xue said plainly.
"Hehe!"
Master Yuan also chuckled, seemingly understanding what Ye Mo meant.
"Isn’t that Master Yuan? Why is he visiting our Profound Heart Sect? And who’s that man? He’s so handsome."
"Are you in love, or what? The old Sect Master said there’s no trusting men; we better focus on our cultivation."
"I just heard a rumor that the Sect Master plans to compete in seal techniques and invited Master Yuan to be the referee."
"Could it be that man? There’s no way he could beat our Sect Master. From what I’ve heard, our Sect Master is a seal technique prodigy."
The female disciples training in the square noticed the three and stopped to talk among themselves.
"Both of you, follow me to the Nourishing Heart Hall."
Luo Xue said, leading them into a grand hall.
"This is the Nourishing Heart Hall, where you’ll craft the seal. The hall next to it is the Purifying Clarity Hall, where the Sect Master crafts seals. The Sect Master is already meditating in the Purifying Clarity Hall. Please wait here."
Luo Xue said, then took Master Yuan to an adjacent room where several Elders were meditating. Upon seeing Master Yuan, they all stood respectfully, clasping their hands in greeting.
Soon, an image appeared on the wall in the room.
It showed two people, one clearly being Ye Mo. The other was in a white dress, with waterfall-like silver hair and a stunning appearance.
"Is that the Sect Master of the Profound Heart Sect? Truly beyond compare."
Master Yuan was secretly impressed.
"Master Yuan, we’ve already delivered five kinds of eighth-order beast cores to both participants; the contest can start at any time."
Luo Xue said.
"It seems this contest is about more than just obtaining ten dark elemental heart-stones. With so many Elders here to watch, it looks like this Sect Master’s position isn’t secure yet."
Master Yuan thought to himself and smiled: "Good, a duel between Heavenly sealing artists. I’m very much looking forward to it. As for the competition’s rules, there’s only one chance to craft a seal. Whoever crafts an eighth-order seal first wins. If both succeed at the same time, the strength of seals will be compared. Let the contest officially begin!"
Master Yuan’s voice was transmitted to both halls, and Ye Mo and the Sect Master of Profound Heart Sect began simultaneously.
