Capítulo 83: The Dead Don't Have Any Say
The content of the scroll was long and extensive, describing step by step how to produce the Love Miracle Immortal Pill and all the ingredients needed.
Thunder Clap Lion's Fang, Rainbow Gliding Celestial Pheasant's Feather, Frost Carrying Grass and many others among which, some Ye Mo never even heard of before were listed as ingredients.
However, the most important of them all and the core of the recipe to produce the Love Miracle Immortal Pill wasn't any of those, but something much more unconventional.
It was the heart of a person who feel genuine unconditional love towards you.
Of course, this love was one between a man and a woman, family bonds weren't relevant in this matter and the refinement of the pill would fail completely if attempted.
At the same time, the talent of the person used was crucial, from this depended the success rate of the pill.
Below rank 3, there was less than 1% chance to produce one.
"So his wife dying wasn't an accident or anything natural, Ma De Quan killed her and used her heart to upgrade his own talent." Ye Mo mumbled in realization.
Men would throw their lives in the pursuit of their own benefits. No matter which world, there would always be many people ready to trample over friendship, love and kinship for their own self-interests.
"Although he took her heart, he was the one to be truly heartless, but who can blame him; This land follow the principle of the survival of the fittest, you have to take what you need where it stands if you want to live a good life. Now, what do i do with this?" Ye Mo was in a bind.
To produce the Love Miracle Immortal Pill and raise his talent, he had to take the heart of someone in love with him, but even in the whole Azure Water city, just finding someone who doesn't harbor negative feelings towards him would be quite complicated.
"I will just keep it for later, where there's a way, there's hope. If i find a chance in the future, i won't forget this scroll."
In life, even if you found something useful, rare were the instances where it could be used immediately and instantly benefit from it.
Ye Mo was accustomed to this and knew patience so he stored the scroll and opened the small note that was left on the lid.
"My good disciple, you made the right choice, this, is the result of the work i dedicated my life for, all my researches combined with the alchemy of a great expert. If you had chosen the right path, i would truly be disappointed and you would be left with only gold coins and a few Yellow class martial arts i learned back in the day at my hometown, afterall, the martial arts i acquired from the sect were returned after some time so i wasn't carrying any."
"You can destroy the pillar, it's not made of anything too resistant, there's a pouch inside where i stored most of the ingredients needed for the Love Miracle Immortal Pill. Each step have been simplified to the maximum so you won't need an alchemist, for proof i am no alchemist myself, but could still do it, as long as you follow the procedure well, the talent of the person from which you took the heart will be the most determinent in the final result, that is, if she or he truly loved you. Use it to upgrade your talent my dear inheritor and in exchange i have only two wishes: First i want you to destroy the Ethereal Blossom sect which treated this benefactor unfairly in his life."
"Finally, if you are successful in raising your talent, make your master a favor and spread the recipe of the Love Miracle Immortal Pill in every corner of the land, show the world the wisdom of this lord, finally being recognized for my true worth."
Ye Mo remained silent for some time before he sighed faintly and said, "I see, this guy has a screw loose."
He wasn't surprised by what waited for him at the right path. Even in the Tiger Martial Institute, the martial art manuals have to be returned after some time so you have to learn them quickly or at least, memorize the content.
It was the same for Ye Mo, who, without counting the Liu clan's battle skills, only had endless vitality remaining as he returned the others already and it was probably the same system for sects, to prevent outsiders from learning their techniques.
He was just a bit hopeful.
However, when he thought of Ma De Quan's last will, Ye Mo smiled coldly.
The first one didn't even need to be mentioned, the Ethereal Blossom sect was eradicated by another one while they were weakened due to an internal strife two hundred years ago. Even if it was still around, he wouldn't bother dealing with them just for some cold pack of bones wishes.
"Spread the recipe everywhere? You fool, why would i do that? I went through a pretty rough time finding this place, the recipe and everything i put my hands on is mine and only my own to decide what to do with. I, myself, am enough to profit from this."
Ye Mo never cared about the will of Ma De Quan, the dead don't have any say in the works of the living.
Even if he fulfilled his will and spread the recipe after he was successful, all it would do is to plunge the world in chaos.
Wherever the wind can reach, people would kill each other to raise their talent, the land would be filled with bloodshed, in some extreme cases, powerful figures would slaughter the love of their descendants to forcefully raise their talent, even against their will.
No one would trust anyone and people would become paranoid every time they grow close to someone.
Of course, Ma De Quan wouldn't care about that since he wasn't treading on the earth anymore, the world could go up in flames for all he cares as long as his creation was recognized by everyone.
Was it the reason why Ye Mo wouldn't do it? Of course not.
Actually, it was the same as the Nine Revolutions Fiend Body refining technique.
When Ye Mo obtained the manual, he spent days and weeks memorizing the technique entirely, often reciting each word in his head so the sentences wouldn't fade from his memory.
The day before the Tiger Martial institute recruitement competition, he burned the manual to ashes. He couldn't let it remain back to his old rundown shack and be found by someone nor could he take it with him in the institute full of people and experts monitoring the students, it was asking to be discovered.
Although he could place it in his pouch, what if the instructors inspected them? Or if someone stole it from him, anyone could gain access to their contents, he couldn't take the risk so he just burned the manual down.
Of course, he could still burrow the demonic technique to some hidden place and retrieve it when it was the time to leave the institute but he didn't need to do so.
Because now, the Nine Revolutions Fiend Body only lived in his mind, others couldn't learn the technique and use it to grow stronger.
It was the same reason why he wouldn't spread the Love Miracle Immortal Pill recipe, what benefit would he gain from them raising their talent? Absolutely none.
Only he shall use them and grow, the others, the more they struggle, the better it was for him as he would maintain his advantage and advance in his cultivation!
Ye Mo kicked the small pillar which was smashed in pieces, sending a red pouch tumbling on the ground a few steps further.
He picked up the pouch and inpected the space inside, noticing it was nearly the same size as the sky blue one handed to him by the institute.
Next he checked its content, finding many ingredients inside.
Among those listed in the recipe, without counting the heart, only the Frost Carrying Grass was missing.
The Frost Carrying Grass and the Ember Apple were the most rare of them all, the first growing in dangerous areas with very cold weather far in the north while the other needed to absord the fire Qi of hot places for decades or even a hundred year to come to view.
"With this, another problem is fixed, if i can find a Frost Carrying Grass, all i would lack is the heart of someone who's deeply in love with me to attempt producing the pill, though, i would still need for her to have a good talent towards cultivation."
Ye Mo was slightly relieved, just reading about all the ingredients needed gave him a headache, he was already struggling to find the money so he could cultivate in the pagoda, where was he supposed to obtain all this?
Now he could ease up.
Finding someone who fell for him was still an issue, but he could leave it for later.
After he smashed the pillar and took the pouch, Ye Mo planned to backtrack to the intersection and walk the right path, after all, although Ma De Quan told him he could only pick one path, till now, nothing compelled him to do so.
Even if there wasn't any grand treasure or Star class battle skills, why would he leave anything behind.
However right after picking the pouch, the surroundings began to tremble, vibrations spreading in the underground cavern with a force ever growing as rocks fell down and the walls cracked up.
"This old miser, he prepared for the whole cavern to collapse after what he left in one of the two pathes is picked, i have no choice but to leave. Even Hong Li wouldn't have the strength to escape if he was buried alive by a mountain."
With no wish to accompany Ma De Quan's remains for eternity, Ye Mo dashed straight inside another passage on the other side of the hall after activating Wind Flow, moving upwards in another tunnel while rubbles and fragments of the ceiling fell down even more intensely.
Moving in zigzag, he avoided the rocks falling on his head as he kept sprinting for a moment until he reached a dense boulder blocking his path.
Ye Mo didn't have the time to stop so he directly charged forward and punched with all his strength, destroying the boulder and sending the broken parts flying in the surroundings as he continued on his way.
In a short time, he reached the end of the tunnel as he could see a wall of water on the way out.
Without stopping an instant, he jumped straight through the waterfall and landed in a stream on the other side.
Near the same time, a loud earthquake resounded behind him as the underground cavern completely collapsed, raising a cloud of dust escaping through the left and right of the waterfall and sending stones and rock fragments in the stream with Ye Mo.
This one swam to the shore and took sharp breathes as he looked at the surroundings.
He could see he was still in the jungle, but the fourth mountain could be discerned hundreds of paces away from his location.
"This 'master' is too unreasonable, what if i wasn't able to escape?" Ye Mo grumbled as he took off his wet clothes.
Soon, another attire was adorned, draped over by his customary hooded cloak while he left in direction to the mountain.
