Because of their trust in Cai Ling, all members of the Liu faction stopped hesitating and made their vows.

“Haha! Three days later, we will see who owns the Goddess’ Eternal Spring and becomes the City Lord.” Hua Musheng said, then led the whole Hua faction leaving the valley.

The Goddess’ Groto was closed once again.

“Cai Ling, what should we do now? When you were not around, Hua Cuican reached the Energy Shaping Second Realm and could outmatch every young martial artist in this city. Your favourite disciple Qing Qing was also outmatched by her.” Liu Qingsheng shook her head and sighed.

“I already have a candidate in my mind. We shall return the city now. Keep all news within City of Daughters from now on and don’t let anyone else know of what happened today.”

“Yes, City Lord!”

When Cai Ling and Ye Mo returned to her mansion, Cai Ling asked Ye Mo, “Are you capable of defeating an opponent of the Energy Shaping Second Realm?”

“Are you asking me to fight with Hua Cuican?” Ye Mo was surprised.

“Yes! You have brought many miracles to me since we met, and there may be another miracle again this time.”

“No way. Even though I could kill Xiaoyao Meiqi, who was at the Energy Shaping First Realm, I am far from having the strength to beat an ace of the Energy Shaping Second Realm. I have just reached my limit, and my practice will not progress too much within three days.”

Progress could not be rushed, but only achieved through step-by-step training.

“Even though it may be not possible, you still have to win in the match three days later!” Cai Ling ordered domineeringly.

“Argh!”

Cai Ling walked into the inner temple, then came back with a golden teardrop on her palm, which shimmered like a gem.

“If anyone else intends to take the Goddess’ Teardrop, she has to seek it in the Goddess’ River. Here, I have one Goddess’ Teardrop, which is supposed to be given to Qing Qing. I now give it to you as you wish. As you wanted it so badly back then, I presume it is of great use in enhancing your strength.”

“The Goddess’ Teardrop!” Staring at the Goddess’ Teardrop, Ye Mo’s pupils dilated with excitement. Didn’t he travel all the way from Limestone City just to seek this Goddess’ Teardrop? Now that the teardrop was right in front of him, he could not help but be excited.

“Cai Ling, with this Goddess’ Teardrop, I am confident I will defeat Hua Cuican.”

Ye Mo took the Goddess’ Teardrop, then shut himself in his room with the doors closed and locked.

Ye Mo sat with his legs crossed and held the teardrop in his hands, which was as sticky as mercury. After swallowing the teardrop, due to the immense energy it contained, Ye Mo instantly felt as if he’d fallen into a sea of fire.

Ye Mo condensed his dragon power and directed the Goddess’ Teardrop into his Energy Center.

Once the teardrop entered his Energy Center, the seal floating within his Energy Centre was quickly activated, then wrapped around the teardrop.

Shimmering with golden radiance, the Goddess’ Teardrop completely immersed itself within the seal, which then was converted into a little girl dressed in the seal. The little girl had skin the color of white jade, which made her look like a clay doll. Combined with the slight gold radiance she emitted, she resembled an angel who had come down from the heavens above.

“Brother Ye Mo, I can finally talk now. It has been an unbearable experience.”

The little girl opened her palm and a seal appeared below her feet. She lowered herself steadily and landed on the seal.

“So you did not die at all?”

“Idiot! How could I die? My body turned into a seal while my consciousness remained. I can tell you reached made many achievements these past few days, and you even developed some kind of relationship with the City Lord of the City of Daughters. But you better give up, as that City Lord will never fall in love with you,” Ling’Er said

A string of curses ran across Ye Mo’s mind, and he began to regret resurrecting Ling’Er.

“If you already know everything that happened these past few days, I will not bother to explain them to you. Is there any method for me to defeat Hua Cuican in three days? With my current strength, I am unable to reach another realm within three days,” Ye Mo asked

“It is certainly impossible, considering there isn’t a suitable seal for you to refine. The Heavenly Frost seal is already the most useful seal among all Rank one seals. However, it is insufficient in countering an ace of the Energy Shaping First Realm.”

Ling’Er stopped and thought for a while. Suddenly, a new idea crossed her mind. She blinked her eyes and said, “There is a way! Both reaching another realm and refining seals are not viable options. Your body now contains 90 streams of Dragon Power in total. Your five Mortal Gates can withstand 80 streams of Dragon Power, while 10 streams still remain in your body. If you can strengthen your five Mortal Gates, with your power of the Spirit Cultivating Seventh Realm, you will become capable of withstanding 90 streams of Dragon Power.”

“What? Strengthening Mortal Gates? Mortal Gates can be strengthened as well?” Ye Mo asked in surprise. Wasn’t it a fact that a Mortal Gate could only be strengthened after advancing to a higher realm?

“Idiot! Of course a Mortal Gate can be strengthened. Although the normal way to strengthen your Mortal Gate is reaching a higher realm, some other techniques can also produce a similar effect.” Ling’Er sat on the seal and swung her pale legs.

With a stronger Mortal Gate, it could contain more Yuanli within and the martial technique would be more powerful.

After all, every martial technique in this world was activated through the Mortal Gate.

“Then how can I strengthen my Mortal Gates?” Ye Mo further asked.

“The Goddess Teardrop is the answer. It is capable of repairing Mortal Gates, so it can strengthen Mortal Gates as well. That City Lord seems to treat you well, so why don’t you ask for more of those teardrops from her?” Ling Er waved her hands and answered.

“What? Do you think the Goddess’ Teardrops grow on trees?” Ye Mo said wryly.

“This is the only way now. Deal with the problem yourself. I have just had my soul repaired and need a good rest. Wake me up after you get several drops of Goddess’ Teardrops.” Ling’Er turned into a seal once more.

“Seems like there is no other way then.”

As he had made up his mind, he went to visit Cai Ling again. When Cai Ling realized Ye Mo wanted more Goddess’ Teardrops, she frowned and looked troubled.

“Qing Qing is already upset with me after I gave you the Goddess’ Teardrop. There are also other young disciples who are a bit unsatisfied and question your ability.”

“City Lord Cai Ling, I am sorry for causing trouble to you. But the Goddess’ Teardrops are the only way for me to win this battle. After having five more Goddess’ Teardrops, my five Mortal Gates can be strengthened and my power will skyrocket. By that time, defeating Hua Cuican will no longer be a problem for me,” Ye Mo attempted to persuade Cai Ling.

“Five Goddess Teardrops? Can this youngster be any more greedier? I am now suspecting how you passed the test of the Illusion Circle in the first place.”

An old yet strong voice was heard. Liu Qingsheng entered on a crutch, her face was full of suspicion.

Two beautiful young ladies followed Liu Qingsheng from behind. One of them was dressed in long, green dress, had a pair of big eyes, cherry-colored mouth, and braided hair. She was carrying a rare green sword on her back. The other young lady was less beautiful, yet she was still pretty. A bright green whip was tied around her waist, and it looked marvellous.

Both young ladies had the strength of the Energy Shaping First Realm.
