After Yao Yue’s explanation, Ye Mo finally understood that after getting the qualifying token, he would be able to fight for the Chief Elect position. Of course, if someone was unhappy with the holder of this token, one could always challenge the holder.
Ye Mo took the token and smiled smugly. He repeatedly thanked Yao Yue before putting the token away into his Dimensional Bracelet. Now that he had obtained the qualification, a weight was lifted off his chest. With his current strength, hardly anyone at the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm could be his match. He was sure he would be the Chief Elect of Xuan Ji.
“Alright. Everyone, you may leave. Girl, follow me into my room,” Yao Qingyun said before leaving the hall with Yao Yue.
“Hehe, Ye Mo, I always keep my promise. Now that you are officially a member of the Martial Faction, we will naturally give you the mystery reward. Of course, I need to tell you something before that,” said the old man who had negotiated with Ye Mo the other day.
“What is it?”
“You are now a member of the Martial Faction. However, the Martial Faction is a hidden faction that represents a belief instead of an official organization. This is a belief the Emperor does not tolerate. Therefore, before confirming that a person you are speaking with is a Martial Faction member, never admit that you are part of the Martial Faction. Otherwise, you might invite disaster upon yourself,” the old man reminded solemnly. Clearly, this was very important.
“Understood.” Ye Mo nodded. The Emperor was aware that the Martial Faction existed. Of course, he would not personally make a move. Rather, he would send the people of the Emperor Faction to do his bidding.
The old man nodded and spread his palm. An ordinary looking white pearl the size of a thumb appeared. Despite how ordinary the pearl looked, when Ye Mo looked at it, he felt like his entire being was about to be sucked into the pearl, as if he was about to return to the circle of reincarnation.
“Bodhi Seed!” Ling’er cried out before Ye Mo could ask about it.
“What is that?” This pearl was definitely no ordinary item if it could make Ling’er cry out like that.
“Idiot, the Bodhi Seed, Bodhi Heart, and one meditation session under the Bodhi Tree were the Three Bodhi Treasures. In the legends, Ancestor Bodhi meditated and came to understand the dao while beneath the Bodhi Tree to reach enlightenment. This was the start of the legend of the Three Bodhi Treasures. Although the Bodhi Seed is the weakest of the three treasures, it is still something extremely rare. These geezers are being really generous, giving you this Bodhi Seed.” Ling’er started laughing wildly.
“Bodhi Seed,” Ye Mo muttered.
“Oh? You know this is the Bodhi Seed?” The elder was astonished. Even Elder Feng and Elder Yun were astonished.
This Bodhi Seed was something that even they had learned about only after going through some ancient scriptures.
“Yes.” Ye Mo nodded. Then, he started repeating what Ling’er told him, “This Bodhi Seed can be directly eaten. A huge amount of energy is contained within it. Of course, few warriors can directly refine and fully absorb the energy within this seed.”
“That’s right. Therefore, we are rewarding you with this Bodhi Seed. Regardless of whether you can fully refine it or not, it will be yours.”
It was obvious that these geezers had tried consuming this seed but had failed to refine it. That was why the seed was given to him. When he recalled how they had consumed this seed before, he felt like vomiting.
Nonetheless, based on what Ling’er said, this Bodhi Seed was extremely valuable.
“I will accept it then.” Ye Mo accepted the Bodhi Seed before bidding them goodbye. The three evil Spirit Weapons were all given to the Martial Faction.
Ye Mo did not forget to ask Elder Yun about the refinement of the Sky Blood Spear. He was told that everything was progressing smoothly. The only thing they lacked now was time. When the time arrived, a remarkable weapon would come into existence.
After leaving the League Leader Pavilion, Ye Mo unfurled his wings and flew away. When he returned to his training spot, he sat down cross-legged before taking out the Bodhi Seed.
Ling’er also came out and stared at the Bodhi Seed. Looking at how curious Ling’er looked, Ye Mo concluded that she had most likely never seen this Bodhi Seed before as well.
“So I only need to swallow it?” Ye Mo asked.
“You won’t choke to death, but if this seed could be used so easily, those geezers wouldn’t have given it to you so readily,” Ling’er said as she glanced at Ye Mo.
“I can try refining it with Dragon Power.”
Ever since Ye Mo figured out the usage of his Dragon Power, he had developed a habit of testing everything out with his Dragon Power. He sent several streams of Dragon Power towards the Bodhi Seed. The strains of Dragon Power immediately permeated into the Bodhi Seed.
“The Dragon Power has been automatically absorbed into the seed.”
“Interesting. Let me try sending more streams.”
Ling’er snapped as her eyes widened. She knew the Dragon Power well and was thus aware of how powerful the Dragon Power was. Perhaps the Bodhi Seed held contempt against normal Yuanli. But when facing the Dragon Power, it had absorbed everything like the Dragon Power was a delicacy.
It absorbed numerous streams of Dragon Power, yet the Bodhi Seed still stayed the same. Ye Mo did not believe that nothing would happen. Therefore, he started madly sending his Dragon Power out. All 1600 streams of Dragon Power were sent out to the Bodhi Seed.
Sure enough, the Bodhi Seed accepted everything, not intending to leave anything behind for Ye Mo.
“This is a scam. This seed seems like a bottomless pit.” Ye Mo was completely astonished by what he saw. The seed still remained the same after devouring 1600 streams of Dragon Power.
“I refuse to believe this. Just focus on feeding this Bodhi Seed for a few days. I refuse to believe that this seed is a bottomless pit,” Ling’er sat beside Ye Mo and said with her arms crossed on her chest. She had obviously been angered by what the seed was doing.
Days passed, and Ye Mo stayed at his training spot the entire time. The moment he regenerated his Dragon Power, he would feed it to the Bodhi Seed. Ye Mo had discovered that the seed would completely ignore the Five-Elements Energy.
On the 10th day, after devouring all the Dragon Power Ye Mo had, a little tip sprouted out of the seed. It had actually sprouted! Both Ling’er and Ye Mo was dumbfounded by this sight. They had never heard of a Bodhi Seed sprouting.
“Will this seed sprout into a Bodhi Tree?” Ye Mo started thinking. The Bodhi Tree was an extremely rare treasure. Sitting under the tree, if one was lucky enough, one will be able to comprehend the great dao and obtain a great increase in strength.
“You wish. There is only one Bodhi Tree in existence. But it is indeed quite weird that this seed has sprouted,” Ling’er said.
“We should keep feeding it and see what will happen.”
Perhaps a Bodhi Tree might truly grow out of this!
