Strongest Abandoned Son

Ye Mo's Purple Eye Soul Sever was at level six now. His spirit sense blades were invisible and he gathered his own spirit sense spike. Spirit sense spikes and soul spikes were different. The soul spike attacked spirit sense while the spirit sense spike was not for attack. It was for dealing with formations and restrictions that spirit sense couldn't scan in.     

Before, he could use spirit sense blades for that too but there were two drawbacks. One was that it used too much spirit sense and second it caused too much commotion. If it was a formation someone was guarding, it would be easily noticed. Spirit sense spikes didn't have this limitation.     

Of course in order to stay stealthed when piercing formations with spirit sense spike, his own spirit sense had to be very powerful and he also needed to be experienced in formations.     

At this moment, Ye Mo's spirit sense spike easily penetrated this level nine formation and went inside the room.     

When Ye Mo came inside expressionlessly, he guessed this wasn't a place he cultivated at. Now, his spirit sense showed that he was right.     

This room was simple, it was only a stone room that was 20 square meters. There was nothing else in the room but a cushion seat. A male cultivator sat on the cushion, his head was very big but his body was small.     

Ye Zifeng stood before the man and looked very respectful.     

The male cultivator studied Ye Zifeng for a long while before nodding happily. "Not bad, your cultivation speed has been fast recently. I hope you can become the number one person of the Nangong family, even Luo Yue continent number one."     

Ye Zifeng bowed respectfully. "My, Nangong Zifeng's, life was saved by master. Zifeng would never disappoint master nor the Nangong family."     

Hearing this, Ye Mo was dazed. Ye Zifeng even changed his last name to Nangong. If Ye Beirong heard this, he might go crazy due to anger.     

The big headed cultivator nodded. "Very well, you're indeed the supporting pillar talent of our family. Nangong Xiaodai is the most prominent family member. She has nourishing wood spirit roots, you need to treat her well. Without her, you wouldn't be where you are today.."     

Ye Mo heard this and sighed. Nourishing wood element was like Su Jingwen's hidden spirit root. Before activation, one couldn't cultivate, but after activation, the cultivation speed would be extremely fast.     

Nourishing wood spirit roots were very rare. Any nourishing spirit root of the five elements was very rare. It's cultivation speed wasn't as good as hidden spirit roots but was on par with pure spirit roots. It also had an important attribute, it could help someone who doesn't have spirit roots nurture a spirit root.     

Of course, this was conditional. The person without spirit root must eat the top grade spirit item of the five elements. If he ate a water element spirit item, he would need a water nourishing spirit root. So this was extremely hard.     

Nangong Xiaodai was wood nourishing spirit root. The reason Ye Zifeng could cultivate so fast without spirit roots was clearly because he consumed a top grade wood element spirit item.     

He finally understood why Ye Zifeng didn't leave Nangong Xiaodai. Ye Mo sighed, he knew that the spirit root nurtured with nourishing wood spirit root was not only good but suitable for possession.     

Did this big headed guy want to take over Ye Zifeng's body? Otherwise, why would he go help someone like Ye Zifeng? Why did he use Nangong Xiaodai and even a top grade wood element spirit item?     

Ye Mo's spirit sense carefully searched this cultivator, he immediately noticed that he almost didn't have a body. He was probably poisoned by a very powerful poison. After a while, his body would completely disappear.     

This guy was indeed preparing Ye Zifeng for possession. Ye Mo sighed, although he knew the truth of things he didn't plan to intervene.     

He didn't kill Ye Zifeng on Ye Ling's account, but he wasn't going to help Ye Zifeng. He abandoned Cheng Nana and undermined her innocence and brought him into it as well.     

Ye Mo didn't know why Ye Zifeng became such a person but he could guess that he probably suffered a lot trying to survive in South Peace State alone. But to Ye Mo, that wasn't an excuse at all.     

No matter how hard it was, he was an adult. There were many people on Luo Yue who couldn't cultivate. Could he have had a life harder than when he was young? He had no parents and had to find food everywhere. When he was taken by the old Daoist of Magical Herb Sect, he had gone through his hardest moments.     

"Yes master, Daidai is my life - even if I die I won't let her get injured," Ye Zifeng said with great certainty.     

The big headed cultivator nodded. "Mhm, very well, very well."     

The big headed cultivator fell silent. After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "Zifeng, come here in the middle of next month. I have a small dimension magic artifact I'm planning to give you. Sigh, I'm probably about to ascend to the immortal realm. It's a waste to take it to the immortal realm…"     

Ye Mo sneered. The middle of next month was the ghost festival, essence spirits were loose and it was the perfect time for possession. The big headed cultivator was planning to wait a while, but perhaps seeing Ye Zifeng progress too fast, he didn't dare to keep waiting.     

His body was about to die and his essence spirit wasn't very stable. If Ye Zifeng cultivated a little longer, he wouldn't be able to possess him.      

Ye Zifeng looked joyful and said, "Zifeng thanks master."     

The big headed cultivator waved his hand. "Zifeng, don't be so polite with master, I can even give Xiaodai to you, others are nothing. Just remember you are the Nangong family member and you're my, Nangong Fei's, disciple. Otherwise even if you ascend to the immortal realm, I won't let you go."     

"Yes, Zifeng will remember." There was a sliver of fear on Ye Zifeng's face.     

"Don't worry, just remember you're a member of the Nangong family. Okay, you can go now." The cultivator waved his hand.     

"Yes master, I will leave now." Ye Zifeng bowed respectfully and was about to leave.     

Nangong Fei suddenly thought of something and stopped him. "Zifeng, has there been much news about Mo Yue City's Ye Mo?"     

Ye Zifeng quickly said, "Not much, I went to Flowing Snake City once with Xiao Dai. I heard that Ye Mo is studying runes. I don't know why he is doing that so I went to find out and I realized that he could make level 11 runes after a mere three years. I really wonder what his head is made of. He's a level nine pill king as well."     

Ye Mo was dazed. The highest level rune in the cultivation realm was level 12, since when could he make level 11 runes? He could barely make level seven runes. He never even studied rune making.     

"Oh?" Nangong Fei frowned as though thinking why Ye Mo would make runes. As a pill master, he had endless spirit stones. Would he need to waste time to make runes?     

Ye Zifeng said affirmatively, "Yes, master. Xiao Dai felt this was strange too. She took me to an auction there and he bought a rune like this. I was planning to go see sect leader but master called me so I came over."     

Nangong Fei nodded. "Show me that level 11 rune first."     

"Yes master." Ye Zifeng carefully took out a pale yellow rune and said, "Master, look, this…"     

Suddenly, Ye Zifeng palmed over the rune. The rune brought out a yellow light and instantly stuck to Nangong Fei.     

"What are you doing?" Nangong Fei was furious, not expecting the obedient Ye Zifeng to suddenly do this.     

Ye Zifeng sneered. "What am I doing? Nangong Fei, do I need to tell you what I want to do?"
