“Can I have talisman paper and a second rank heart-stone?” Ye Mo asked after some hesitation.

These were items that sealing artists should always have on them. Unfortunately, Ye Mo was penniless and could only design to ask for them.

“He is definitely a swindler. As a sealing artist, how can he not even have any talisman paper or heart-stones?” Tong Yao found Ye Mo more and more annoying. She was certain that Ye Mo was definitely trying to play a trick on them.

“Due to a recent incident, I lost my Dimensional Bracelet. Therefore, I have nothing on me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even bother applying for work as a sealing artist,” Ye Mo said.

Tong Shan rapped on the table with his fingers, a pensive look on his face.

“I can promise that I will be able to refine a second order seal. If I am a swindler, with the strength of this elder, he will be able to easily capture me,” Ye Mo said when he saw the elder wavering.

Elder Tong had not reached the True Energy Realm, but his strength had surpassed Energy Shaping Ninth Realm. Evidently, he was already halfway into the True Energy Realm.

Finally, the first young lady of the Tong Clan decreed, “Here’s a talisman paper and a second rank fire attribute heart-stone. If you can refine a second order fire attribute seal, you will be made a guest of the Tong Clan.”

She took a talisman paper and a second rank fire attribute heart-stone from her Dimensional Bracelet and gave them to Ye Mo.

“Sister, he is clearly a swindler.” Tong Yao got anxious when she heard Tong Lan. How could her sister trust such an unconvincing lie?

“Just watch to see if I’m a swindler or not,” Ye Mo said as he threw Tong Yao a glance. He unrolled the talisman paper and crushed the heart-stone before pulling out a trail of fire attribute energy in the air. At the same time, the Five-Elements Energy within his body started revolving as he started drawing on the talisman paper.

Within the hall, Tong Lan, Tong Yao, and Tong Shan watched on in astonishment, their faces filled with disbelief. They had been planning to provide a silent and enclosed room for Ye Mo to refine the seal. Surprisingly, this Ye Mo started the refinement right away.

Moreover, the manner in which Ye Mo drew the seal was something they had never witnessed before. One hour passed, and finally, Ye Mo stopped drawing. A seal hovered midair, flickering with a fiery radiance with a flaming cage on the middle of the seal.

“Flaming Cage Seal. Activating the seal will release a flaming cage that is large enough to trap more than a hundred Energy Shaping Sixth Realm warriors in it,” Ye Mo nonchalantly explained with the seal on his hand.

“This!” Elder Tong Shan was so shocked he was out of words. The young man before him had stunning sealing skill.

“Excellent. Your sealing skill is indeed great.” Tong Lan was the first to recover from the shock. She bowed slightly to Ye Mo, her tone respectful.

“What’s the big deal with the seal? We don’t even know if the seal will do what he said,” Tong Yao said resentfully.

“Don’t worry, second young lady. This seal will indeed work as intended. Please show me to a larger area to demonstrate the power of this skill. I’m afraid I will destroy your mansion if I activate it here,” Ye Mo said with a nonchalant smile.

Tong Lan waved her hand to stop Tong Yao. “Let’s go try it out now.” She was sure that with the sealing skill Ye Mo had demonstrated earlier, the seal would definitely work as intended.

“Are you willing to be a guest of Tong Clan?” Tong Lan was the first young lady of the Tong Clan. When the clan leader wasn’t around, she would be in charge.

“Sure I am. But I won’t be able to stay as a guest here for long.” Ye Mo sank into a short silence before he continued, “I heard that your Tong Clan is recruiting second order sealing artist for the coming appearance of the mirage. I will be able to fulfill all you need from a sealing artist before the mirage’s appearance, but after the appearance of the mirage and the incident ends, I will leave.”

The Tong Clan was slightly weaker than the two families in the city. Recruiting a new second order sealing artist would be of great help during the fight for the mirage.

“No problem. You are Ye Xiao, right? I am Tong Lan, the first young lady of Tong Clan. This is Elder Tong Shan, and this is my sister, Tong Yao,” Tong Lan introduced the other three to Ye Mo.

Ye Mo smiled at the three before he spoke awkwardly, “Young Lady Tong Lan, can I ask for the fees in advance? I need it urgently.”

“Oh? Ye Xiao, you are now a guest of our Tong Clan. If you have any difficulties, feel free to tell us about it.” Tong Clan smiled when she saw that Ye Mo looked awkward.

Her smile was absolutely enchanting. Ye Mo was sent into a slight daze. However, he quickly recovered and said, “I need some Pearl Pills. The higher the quality, the better.”

“Many outsiders come to the city for these Pearl Pills. Therefore, the Pearl Pill sells very well in Southern City. If you need Pearl Pills of good quality, we can go to the Treasure Gathering House and take a look. I need to go buy some talisman papers and heart-stones there anyway. Why not go together?” Tong Lan offered.

Traveling with a beauty would always be enjoyable. Tong Yao kept insisting that she wanted to go along as well but was stopped by Tong Lan. The sisters were quite a remarkable sight to behold when standing together. One was mature while the other was unruly. They made quite a combo.

On their way, Ye Mo followed behind Tong Lan while studying his surroundings. They started chatting, with Tong Lan trying to fish some information from Ye Mo. However, Ye Mo did not give her any useful information, causing her to feel rather helpless.

A person like Ye Mo who was so young, yet he was already an Energy Shaping Seventh Realm warrior; plus, a second order sealing artist was worth recruiting. Even after they ended their collaboration, it would still be advantageous to have a friend like him.

When Ye Mo first set his eyes on Treasure Gathering House, he sighed inwardly. This Southern City was remote with few geniuses around. Despite that, this Treasure Gathering House appeared no less imposing than the Treasure Inspection Guild.

Looking at the huge crowds going in and out the Treasure Gathering House, it was clear that their scope of business was rather large.

“Looks like warriors are flocking to this city due to the mirage,” Ye Mo lamented. Then, following behind Tong Lan, he entered the Treasure Gathering House.

There were two floors in the Treasure Gathering House. On the first floor, ordinary goods were sold. As for the second floor, some valuable goods were sold. Naturally, Tong Lan brought Ye Mo to the second floor.

As the two were heading towards the second floor, a handsome man walked towards them with a folding fan in one hand and his other arm wrapped around a beautiful woman. Two people were following behind him as well. “Tong Lan, I heard that Tong Clan is recruiting second order sealing artist. So are any sealing artists applying? Haha.”

“Tie Ruyu, the affairs of my Tong Clan are none of your business.” Tong Lan frowned and then said to Ye Mo, “Let’s go.”

Ye Mo glanced at Tie Ruyu and followed Tong Lan up to the second floor. Tie Ruyu stared at their departing backs, fury welling within him. “How arrogant. When my Tie Clan gets the Kraken Mansion this time, it will only be a matter of time before we destroy your Tong Clan. Both you and your sister will prostrate before me.”
