Thinking about this, Ye Mo thought of the Truth Fall Palace stairway and how he had used purple eye soul sever to reach level seven. Could this be the same?

　　Ye Mo reached out with his spirit sense and found that before he even used purple eye soul sever, the pressure decreased greatly. When he took back his cultivation essence, he wasn’t pushed off either.

　　Ye Mo realized this was it. If he used cultivation essence to resist the pressure, he wouldn’t be able to last until step three. Cultivators needed to use spirit sense to defend against this pressure. The stronger your power, the more pressure you faced.

　　Ye Mo laughed at himself, he was probably the only cultivator in this round who didn’t know this. The Shen Guanqing city lord already hinted at using spirit sense, but he didn’t think of it.

　　Although he used spirit sense to defend against the pressure and there wasn’t much interference, there still was some left. Concentration was very important in pill concoction. Ye Mo had Three Birth Chant and wasn’t afraid of this interference but it was still better to have no interference.

　　So, Ye Mo tried using purple eye soul sever and the pressure was severed off. Now, the step seemed like his own pill concoction room.

　　Didn’t this mean that those pill masters with spirit sense cultivation methods could sever the pushing force?

　　Ye Mo looked up and was dazed to see that he was the only left on step one. He looked forward and saw many pill kings had reached step three.

　　Ye Mo didn’t dare to doze off and quickly chose Blue Wen Pill. Before he even released his soul flare and Shen Nong cauldron, the ingredients were sent before him. He checked them quickly and began concoction.

　　Seeing that Ye Mo finally began pill concoction, the judges breathed easy. Every time this guy would scare them. The first round when he used soul flare, people thought he gave up but he dissected the pill. This time, he only released his cauldron now and chose the rather hard pill Blue Wen Pill. What other surprise would he give people?

　　Ning Qingxue also relaxed upon seeing that Ye Mo finally began pill concoction.

　　Ye Mo had concocted countless Blue Wen pills. Even with soul flare, he finished a cauldron in less than 15 minutes.

　　Although when he got to step 2, there were already people on step 4, it didn’t affect him. He knew that with his purple eye soul sever, he would have a huge advantage over those who had to constantly defend against the pressure.

　　He wasn’t the only one on step 2, there were still a few pill masters here.

　　Ye Mo chose Mist Spirit Pill here, it was rather hard to concoct amongst level eight spirit pills. Before Heaven Glory Pill, Mist Spirit Pill was the best pill for golden core state cultivators to break through, the second was Blue Wen Pill.

　　Seeing that Ye Mo used less than 15 minutes, Wu Tan sighed. “If he had a rare flame, not something that even ranked high, he would be so much faster.”

　　Ji Ling looked at Lu Wuhu immediately and Lu Wuhu sipped some spirit wine before saying, “No need to look at me, I don’t have many flames left, I really don’t.”

　　People were speechless.

　　“After the tournament, I will give him a stone skin flame, it’s ranked relatively low but it’s better than no flame. I’m sure that this Luo Xiaomo, no Ye Mo, is the most genius pill master I’ve seen. The smooth flow that he concocted level seven and level eight spirit pill with soul flare is an enjoyment to watch,” Yue Qichao said.

　　“But why did he stay at step one for that long? He could be on step four right now.” Ji Ling shook his head and felt pity.

　　Yue Qichao smiled, “I don’t feel it’s a pity. He saved all the time he will be losing in the future by staying at step one for that long. I’m just not too sure yet.”

　　Shen Guanqing nodded in agreement.

　　Ye Mo didn’t stay an extra minute on step two either. He was on step three now. Although some people had reached step 5, he had caught up with the crowd now.

　　Many pill masters saw Ye Mo stay at step one and in such a short time, Ye Mo chased up to step 3. They were all very shocked. Even a level one pill king needed 30 minutes to concoct a level seven spirit pill.

　　Yet Ye Mo was level seven spirit pill master and used soul flare.

　　But most pill master and audience realized that Luo Xiaomo definitely wasn’t a level seven spirit pill master.

　　On the third step, Ye Mo chose Face Recovery Pill, it was rather hard and of high caliber.

　　This step’s pressure was much higher than those two levels before. Ye Mo rejoiced that he thought of a way at step one. Otherwise, he might not last at step three now. if he got kicked off here, he would become a joke.

　　No pill master had been swept off yet.

　　When Jiu Qian reached step three and saw his number one opponent was still on step one, he was disappointed and shook his head. He also suspected that Ye Mo knew the pill recipe and thus got such a good score in round one and two.

　　But he charged up to step four immediately. Without Ye Mo, he would be able to get number one easily.

　　Steps four and five were no trouble for him at all. When he reached step 6, he subconsciously looked back and saw Ye Mo on step three ready to get onto step four.

　　Seeing this, Jiu Qian’s heart sunk. This Luo Xiaomo probably had real capabilities.

　　But even so, there was no way he would be able to beat him on the 12 pill king steps. No one knew that he was actually a level six pill king, one who was about to reach level seven.

　　As soon as Ye Mo got onto step four, before he could even use purple eye soul sever, he was almost pushed off. When Ye Mo severed the pressure with purple eye soul sever, he sighed. This step was for level one pill kings. Those level one pill kings with weaker spirit sense would find it very hard to concoct heaven grade level one pills here.

　　Even those who could stay here wouldn’t choose hard heaven grade level one pills. So this 12 pill king steps wasn’t completely irrelevant to cultivation level.

　　Ye Mo looked at Hu Wen pill king and Qin Muxin, Hu Wen was prepared to get on step four while Qin Muxin was struggling at step three. Even if she could get to step four, she wouldn’t be able to complete a heaven grade level one pill.

　　Ye Mo also realized Jiu Qian’s power, this guy was on step six now. Even Xu Banchang was only at step five. If he didn’t completely beat that guy with Heaven Glory Pill, it seemed really hard he would be able to get number one in the tournament.

　　But Ye Mo didn’t mind, he didn’t use his full power. He had only been concocting pills with soul flare so far.

　　Although Ye Mo didn’t really care, Jiu Qian’s attitude of saying that he was the only one to get number one incited Ye Mo’s competitiveness. He chose to concoct the hardest Cao Huan pill at step four.

　　Then, Ye Mo didn’t keep using soul flare, releasing purple flower flame.

　　As soon as he did this, there were countless exclamations of surprise. The judges looked at each other and realized Ye Mo only now showed his real strength.

　　“Purple flower flame? Am I seeing this right? This Luo Xiaomo didn’t use his full strength the previous two rounds!”

　　“I finally realized what is absurd, this Luo Xiaomo is absurdly powerful. He had a rare flame but only took it out for heaven grade pills.”
