81. Huge income 

There were a lot of people in front of the list, and Mu Chen found that Lan Ruofeng and Zhuang Yu were also there.

Those who was looking at the reward list felt so strange when they saw Ye Shi.

The last time Ye Shi and Zhuang Yu made a big scene when they quarreled. Now that the two  were in the same place, it was awkward.

Zhuang Yu turned his head and saw Mu Chen, but he didn't rush over like before, but looked at Mu Chen with a pair of crystal clear eyes, full of grievances. When Zhuang Yu's eyes turned onto Ye Shi, there was a hint of fear and resentment.

When Zhuang Yu turned his eyes to Mu Chen again, there was a little more anticipation and frustration. Mu Chen squinted. Did Zhuang Yu mean to ask help from him? What was he thinking about?

Ye Shi glared at Zhuang Yu fiercely. Zhuang Yu was disappointed that Mu Chen was indifferent.

Mu Chen folded his arms and rolled his eyes helplessly. It's been so long, but Zhuang Yu was still the same. He wondered if Lan Ruofeng would lose his interest in Zhuang Yu.

Xie Danyan looked at Ye Shi and Zhuang Yu, and there was an interesting smile on her lips.

Xie Danyan crossed her arms, walked towards Mu Chen, and said loudly, "Mu Chen, how are you doing in the Talisman School!"

"Very good." Mu Chen said lightly.

Xie Danyan raised her eyebrows and said, "You are a person who will go with the flow! You are fine wherever you go."

"Talisman School is really good. Talisman is profound and interesting. Miss Xie, you can study it if you have time." Mu Chen smiled warmly.

"Forget it. I don't have as much free time as you. By the way, do you have any thoughts on this bounty?" Xie Danyan asked.

Mu Chen nodded and said, "Yes! It can be seen from this reward that there are quite a few rich people in the capital city. They can offer so many elementary stones!"

Xie Danyan snorted coldly and said, "Stingy." She had clearly heard Mu Chen and Ye Shi talking just now and they obviously had an idea.

Mu Chen smiled nonchalantly. Xie Danyan had nothing to do with him. He didn't need to share his thoughts with her.

However, Xie Danyan's attitude makes Mu Chen puzzled. In the book, Xie Danyan had a deep love for Lan Ruofeng. But Xie Danyan's current attitude suggested that there was no sign of her falling in love with Lan Ruofeng. Nevertheless, it was always a good thing not to stand on Lan Ruofeng's side.

Lan Ruofeng looked at Xie Danyan and couldn't help frowning. Xie Danyan used to be so passionate about him, but recently she kept distance from him.

Passionate women like Xie Danyan was not Lan Ruofeng's type. But Lan Ruofeng did not like being ignored by Xie Danyan recently. 

Xie Danyan looked at Mu Chen's back, an idea flashed in her eyes.

Cheng Wanbai approached Xie Danyan and said, "Danyan, what are you thinking about?"

Xie Danyan glanced at her and said, "I think Mu Chen may be able to refine a medicinal pill that meets the requirements."

Cheng Wanbai glanced at Xie Danyan in surprise, and said, "Why are you suddenly optimistic about him?"

Xie Danyan pouted and said, "He is a miser. He is always very active when it comes to money."

Cheng Wanbai smiled and said, "Maybe."

"Danyan, how much do you know about beast spirit pills!" Lan Ruofeng walked towards Xie Danyan and asked.

Xie Danyan shrugged and said, "I don't know much. Basically, I know what everyone does. Young Master Lan, I still have something to do. I'm sorry."

Xie Danyan and Cheng Wanbai walked out. Cheng Wanbai looked at Xie Danyan and said, "Danyan, you don't seem to be getting too close to Lan Ruofeng recently! Did he offend you?"

Danyan frowned and said, "No, I just found Lan Ruofeng is just so so."

Cheng Wanbai smiled and said nothing.

…………

In the Class Yellow where Mu Chen was in, teachers would come to teach every day. Although the teachers assigned to their class were of limited level, they were always better than none.

Mu Chen spent most of his time studying talismans by himself. After passing the talisman test, Mu Chen bought books about talismans with the remaining elementary stones. In the past two days, knowledge about talismans flooded in his mind. 

Mu Chen gradually became fascinated by talismans. So far, he had been able to draw more than a dozen second-class talismans.

"Mu Chen." Ye Shi waited outside Mu Chen's classroom early.

"Why are you here?" As soon as Mu Chen walked out of the classroom, he saw Ye Shi.

"Our bid expires today, so we can sell that talisman. Let's go and have a look together." Ye Shi said enthusiastically.

Mu Chen nodded and said, "Okay!"

"How's your research on the beast spirit pill?" Ye Shi blinked and asked.

Mu Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "I haven't started my research yet." When Mu Chen wanted to start, he realized that he had no more elementary stones, and the matter was put on hold.

Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen with a worried look on his face, "You haven't started your research yet? What would you do if someone else took the lead?"

Mu Chen smiled lightly, and said, "No hurry. Most of the others don't have the ability to figure it out in a while." The beast spirit pill had been extinct for hundreds of years. If anyone could research it, it would have been researched long ago.

Ye Shi nodded and said thoughtfully, "That's true. Lan Ruofeng is so stupid. He can't think of a way. Let's go to see the bid first. Fu Yuanbao said, conservatively, it will be sold at a million elementary stones." Ye Shi said excitedly.

"So many!" Mu Chen couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"Mu Chen, with so many elementary stones, what do you want to do!" Ye Shi asked.

Mu Chen thoughtfully said, "I want to buy a third-grade furnace. The second-grade furnace I bought at the auction house is not powerful enough. I also want to buy a third-grade talisman pan. Those talismans I draw with a second-grade talisman are not effective. There seemed to be books for third-level alchemy for sale in the School, as well as third-grade alchemy prescriptions and other talismans. I also want to buy some martial arts books."

Ye Shi blinked, feeling dizzy for a while.

"Mu Chen, how many elementary stones does a third-grade pill furnace cost?" Ye Shi said with a dry smile.

Mu Chen thought for a while and said, "I heard that it might cost tens of thousands for a poor quality one, one hundred thousands for a medium quality one, and hundreds of thousands for a good quality one."

Ye Shi: "..." A third-grade pill furnace costs hundreds of thousands, so a third-grade talisman pan must not be cheap, not to mention those third-grade pill prescriptions which would cost hundreds of thousands. It was too expensive .

Looking at Ye Shi's expression, Mu Chen couldn't help but ask, "Stone, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Shi smiled awkwardly and said, "Nothing, nothing."

Mu Chen smiled and said, "I need too many things. It seems that I have to take it slow."

Ye Shi nodded and said, "You should. Take your time."

"The matter of refining alchemy and making talismans can wait. The most urgent task is to improve cultivation." Mu Chen said solemnly.

If he couldn't become a three-star martial artist master, everything meant nothing. As long as his cultivation base improved, he would be able to refine third-level medicinal pills. At that time, he could make a lot of money by selling medicinal pills.

The most urgent task at the moment was to open up the acupoints and raise his aptitude to level 8, and then he should refine his physical condition.

"Recently, we need third-level animal blood to refine our body training." Mu Chen said with a frown.

Ye Shi nodded and said, "Level 3 animal blood isn't cheap."

Mu Chen squinted his eyes. Aptitude is important for cultivation. But resources were more important. With a lot of resources, a top fighter would be trained.

"Okay, let's go and see how many elementary stones we can make from the Spring Breeze and Rain Talisman." Mu Chen said.

Ye Shi nodded and said, "Okay!"

When Mu Chen and Ye Shi arrived, Fu Yuanbao had been waiting there. When Ye Shi and Mu Chen came in, Fu Yuanbao respectfully stepped forward and said hello.

When Ye Shi saw Fu Yuanbao, he felt heartbroken when he thought of the 1% commission he had promised to Fu Yuanbao.

"Are you here to see the results of the bid!" Fu Yuanbao asked.

Mu Chen nodded and said, "Yes!"

"The bidding has ended. It's time to open the box." Fu Yuanbao nodded and bowed his head.

Mu Chen nodded, and opened the cassette with Ye Shi.

"One and a half million elementary stones." Ye Shi couldn't help exclaiming when he saw the first bid.

"800,000 elementary stones. Poor man.”

"1.3 million, there is no chance for this."

"One million and seventy thousand."

Mu Chen and Ye Shi checked the bidding document, and finally the Spring Breeze and Rain Talisman was sold to a girl named Tang Zhuer for 1.88 million elementary stones.

When Mu Chen saw Tang Zhu'er, he was really stunned. Tang Zhu'er wasn't too outstanding, but when she stood in the crowd, no one would ignore her. She wore six space rings, and she was wearing so many magic weapons. She looked like a magic weapon display stand.

Ye Shi’s eyes glowed when he looked at Tang Zhu'er's treasures.

Tang Zhu'er had a lot of money, and transferred more than one million elementary stones to Ye Shi without wasting a second.

Ye Shi was not as generous as Tang Zhu'er. When he gave 18,800 elementary stones to Fu Yuanbao, he seemed to cut Fu Yuanbao with his eyes.

As soon as Fu Yuanbao got elementary stones, he slipped away.

The news that Mu Chen's Spring Breeze and Rain Talisman was sold for 1.88 million elementary stone spread like wildfire.

"Is the Spring Breeze and Rain Talisman so valuable?" Hearing the rumor, Zhuang Yu asked with a frown.

Lan Ruofeng frowned and said, "Because it is a new type of rune, it is valuable."

After Lan Ruofeng became Hua Shu's disciple, the master of Lan family allocated one million elementary stones to Lan Ruofeng. One million elementary stones was a huge sum of money for anyone who had just entered the martial arts master. While Lan Ruofeng Feng was happy that he had a million elementary stones, Mu Chen had already earned 1,880,000 elementary stones in an instant. Mu Chen was really a lucky guy.

Holding the elementary stone card, Ye Shi said to Mu Chen, "I will transfer all the elementary stones to you."

"No need. Just give me 200,000 elementary stones for any cases. You are an elite student. You can get 40% off when you buy things in the academy. In the future, I will trouble you to buy everything I need." Mu Chen said .

Ye Shi nodded and said, "Okay."

"Then let's go buy a pill furnace first, and then buy some materials. I'm going to start researching the beast spirit pill." Mu Chen said.

Ye Shi nodded and said, "Okay."
 

 

 

82. Pills

"Who posted that reward?" Mu Chen said lazily.

"I know that the one who issued the reward was Lian Mengxun, the granddaughter of the chief dean of the academy. The chief dean, Lian Chengkong, is a martial emperor, and Lian Mengxun is his only and favorite granddaughter. He found a monster egg, and it turned out to be a blood dragon."

"Adult blood dragons are difficult to tame, but it is possible to conquer baby blood dragons. If there is a beast spirit pill to help, the possibility will be even higher."

Ye Shi knew this information from Fu Yuanbao. Ye Shi was not happy with paying 10,000 elementary stones to Fu Yuanbao, so he took the opportunity to ask Fu Yuanbao for free information.

"It is a blood dragon? It makes more sense if paying 100,000 elementary stones for a pill for a blood dragon.” Mu Chen said lightly.

"Do you have an idea how to make the pill?" Ye Shi asked.

Mu Chen shrugged and said, "Only one thing. The Nisang Grass that is needed in the beast spirit pill has disappeared for many years. In fact, even if there is no Nisang Grass, the remaining spirit grass in the pill can still maintain a balance. The pill can be made successfully."

"It is rumored that the spiritual power contained in Nisang Grass is not strong, and it is not very useful to people, but Nisang Grass seems to have a strong attraction to monsters. Beast spirit pill can be refined without the Nisang Grass. The beast spirit pill, however, has little effect on monsters."

Ye Shi frowned and said, "Nishang grass. What exactly does it do in medicinal pills!"

Mu Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know... Actually, I have some guesses, but experiments are still needed."

Ye Shi nodded and said, "No hurry. Let's go shopping first."

Mu Chen nodded and said, "Okay."

Ye Shi and Mu Chen walked into the shop of the college. Ye Shi spent 300,000 elementary stones to buy a third-grade pill furnace, and another 200,000 elementary stones to buy a third-grade talisman pan, 200,000 elementary stones to buy a space ring with a space of 30 square meters, 50,000 elementary stones to buy some introductions about spirit beasts, 100,000 elementary stones to buy some pill prescriptions about spirit beasts. ...

As the elementary stones in the card decreased rapidly, Ye Shi finally couldn't help but said, "Mu Chen, let's go buy training materials first."

Mu Chen nodded and said, "That's right. We can't delay cultivation."

The scene of Ye Shi's splashing elementary stones happened to be caught in Zhuang Yu's eyes.

"Why does Ye Shi have so many elementary stones?" Zhuang Yu frowned in confusion.

Lan Ruofeng frowned and said, "That's not Ye Shi's elementary stones, it's Mu Chen's." However, Mu Chen gave most of the elementary stones to Ye Shi.

"Ye Shi spends money too much." Zhuang Yu said with a frown.

Zhuang Yu played with his fingers. Although his tutor was kind to him, he would not give him elementary stone directly. Zhuang Yu did not have too much money. As Ye Shi spent money like flowing water, Zhuang Yu got jealousy.

Lan Ruofeng smiled wryly. It was not Ye Shi but Mu Chen who was spending a lot of money, although Ye Shi was the one who swiped the card, but those things were all what Mu Chen needed. Ye Shi bought them because Ye Shi could get more discount. Ye Shi looked like he did not want to spend so much money. But Mu Chen seemed not to care about it. 

Ye Shi followed Mu Chen to the spirit grass market. He spent 50,000 elementary stones on a bunch of second-grade spirit grass, and spent another 200,000 to order a lot of third-grade animal blood.

Ye Shi went shopping with Mu Chen all the way, and when he returned to Flame Pavilion, there was only 400,000 elementary stones left in the original more than 1.7 million elementary stones card.

…………

 

Jing Chiyan stood on the high platform with both arms on the hips, looked down at Ye Shi and asked, "You're back?"

Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yes!"

Jing Chiyan looked at Ye Shi and said, "I heard that you bought a lot of things for Mu Chen?"

Ye Shi frowned and said disapprovingly, "That elementary stones originally belonged to Mu Chen, so I did not pay for him."

Jing Chiyan said disapprovingly: "Nonsense. Since he gave the money to you, it's yours. Look at you, you bought a bunch of things for him, but you got nothing left."

Ye Shi raised his finger and said, "Mu Chen gave me the ring."

Originally, Ye Shi wanted to return this space ring, but Mu Chen said that only when the ring was big enough could they pack enough things when they went hunting in the wild. Ye Shi thought it made sense, so he kept the ring.

"You are satisfied with one ring. Do you know that he saved a lot of money because of you. Fortunately, he knows to repay your kindness." Jing Chiyan snorted coldly.

Ye Shi said in disapproval, "Mu Chen spends a lot of money, but he earns a lot! Besides, he spends so much now to earn more in the future, and everything Mu Chen does has a purpose."

For example, the previous fifth-level demon core, that was a rare good thing!

Jing Chiyan rolled his eyes and said, "Okay. Okay. Your Mu Chen is the best."

"That's right! By the way, Master, does Senior Sister Lian have any updates about the medicinal pills?" Ye Shi asked.

Jing Chiyan squinted his eyes and said, "Not yet. Recently, there are many people who went to your senior sister's place to deliver medicinal pills, but they are all useless medicinal pills."

Ye Shi raised his eyebrows and said happily, "That's it!"

"Actually, about this elixir, in fact, the chief dean has already asked people to study it, but unfortunately, several senior alchemists in the academy can't refine a beast spirit elixir. It leaves your senior sister Lian no choice but to issue the reward." Jing Chiyan shook his head and said.

Ye Shi pouted and said, "Mu Chen is right."

"Mu Chen? What did Mu Chen say?" Jing Chiyan asked.

Ye Shi shrugged, and said, "He said that other people don't have the ability to refine a magic pill in short while."

Jing Chiyan snorted coldly and said, "Mu Chen sounds like he has the ability."

"Of course Mu Chen is capable. He said he has some ideas." Ye Shi said.

Jing Chiyan rolled his eyes, and said, "If you have time, go and practice hard. Don't daydream with Mu Chen all day long. He thought that he could solve all problems since he just can refine the Spring Breeze and Rain Talisman. It is really a joke. "

Ye Shi gritted his teeth, looked at Jing Chiyan, and said, "Master, excuse me for going to practice?"

"Off you go." Jing Chiyan waved his hand.

 

…………

One of the courtyards in the Alchemy School.

"Is there any progress?" Zhuang Yu asked while standing beside Lan Ruofeng, looking at Lan Ruofeng expectantly.

Lan Ruofeng shook his head and said, "It still won't work." These days, he tried a lot of methods to reproduce the beast spirit pill and it took a lot of elementary stones, but the experiments all ended in failure.

Zhuang Yu looked at Lan Ruofeng and comforted him gently, "Ruofeng, don't worry. I heard that several alchemists in the academy seem to be working on this kind of medicine, but they all failed. Take your time. There will always be a way."

Lan Ruofeng nodded to Zhuang Yu and said, "I know."

Zhuang Yu stood beside Lan Ruofeng shyly.

Lan Ruofeng looked at Zhuang Yu, calmed down, and regained some confidence.

…………

Deep in the campus.

"Mengxun, do you have any progress on the beast spirit pill?" Song Xinyue walked to Lian Mengxun and asked.

Lian Mengxun glanced at Song Xinyue, shook her head, and said disappointingly, "At the moment, there are no progress."

Song Xinyue stretched out her hand and handed Lian Mengxun two medicinal pills, "This is just delivered."

Lian Mengxun frowned. Those tutors in the academy had studied for many days, but no one dared to send her medicinal pills. The freshmen were different. They sent all sorts of medicinal pills, but they only made the blood dragon grumpier. Now Meng Xun had to tested the effect of the medicinal herbs on an ordinary snake first before she dared to use it for the blood dragon.

Lian Mengxun fed the elixir to a red snake in the garden, observed it for a while, and said with a bit of joy on her face, "This elixir seems to have some effect."

"Really? It's good if it works." Song Xinyue said with a smile.

"Who sent this medicine pill?" Lian Mengxun asked with great interest.

"It was sent by Lan Ruofeng from the freshmen." Song Xinyue said.

"I heard that Lan Ruofeng is the one with the highest potency in medicine pill making and the strongest among the freshmen of this year. Now I am starting to believe it." Lian Mengxun praised without hesitation.

"Junior sister, have you heard of Lan Ruofeng?" Song Xinyue was surprised.

Lian Mengxun nodded and said, "Yes! I heard that Senior Hua Shu attaches great importance to this disciple, and his preference for him even exceeds that of the Seventh Prince. How could I not know him?!"

"Sister Lian, Senior Sister Song, it's been a long time." Xin Ruge walked over and said.

Song Xinyue was surprised to see Xin Ruge and said, "Junior Sister Xin, why are you here?"

"I'm here to deliver medicine pills to Junior Sister Lian." Xin Ruge said with a bright smile.

Lian Mengxun looked at Xin Ruge and couldn't help but said, "Senior sister, are you also here to deliver medicinal pills?"

Xin Ruge nodded and said, "Yes!"

Xin Ruge threw a pill box to Lian Mengxun. Song Xinyue frowned and said tentatively, "Senior Sister Xin, where did you get this pill!"

Xin Ruge shrugged and said, "Uncle Jing's youngest pupil."

Song Xinyue curled her lips and said, "Your little junior brother is an alchemist?"

"He's not, but his fiancé is." Xin Ruge shrugged.

Song Xinyue frowned and said, "His fiance, Mu Chen? Isn't he a talisman maker? I heard that he just sold the Spring Breeze and Rain Talisman and got more than 1.8 million stones." And also spent over a million right away.

Xin Ruge nodded and said, "It's true that Mu Chen is a talisman maker, but he also occasionally works part-time as a alchemist."

"Part-time job. He is not busy at all." Song Xinyue's eyes were fill with disdain.

Lian Mengxun frowned and opened the box. As soon as the box was opened, the eyes of the red snake in the garden immediately looked at Lian Mengxun, its eyes full of desire.

Lian Mengxun was surprised. Lian Mengxun threw the medicinal pill to the red snake, and the red snake immediately rushed up and swallowed the medicinal pill in one bite. The red snake who swallowed the medicinal pill became a lot more docile.

Xin Ruge said in surprise, "It actually works."

Song Xinyue glanced at Xin Ruge. Although the medicinal pills refined by Lan Ruofeng were also effective, they paled in comparison with the medicinal pills refined by Mu Chen.

"Senior Sister Xin, where did you get this medicinal pill?" Lian Mengxun asked.

Xin Ruge smiled awkwardly and said, "Actually, the younger brother said that he made this medicinal pill, but he doesn't know how to make pills at all, so he must be lying."
