89. School life

"What is this?! We are not fooled by Jing Chiyan, are we? This is a recipe for boiling broth!" Yan Wu held the recipe, and a bit of confusion flashed in his eyes.

"There is no problem with the formula. Jing Chiyan said that there is nothing special about the medicinal pill. The key problem is that after the medicinal pill is made, it needs to be soaked in these two formulas. I have already tested it and it does work." Lu Han said.

Lu Han gave Lian Mengxun the elixir he made. Lian Mengxun said that the elixir was effective, but the blood dragon seemed to prefer the elixir given by Ye Shi.

Lu Han rolled his eyes helplessly in his heart. Even if they couldn't study the beast spirit pill, their skill of cooking broth was not as good as that of a young man. If people know about it, they would be embarrassed.

"No wonder. After decomposing it, there are certain kinds of spirit grasses that I couldn't properly figure out. I thought I missed something." Tai Shuming suddenly realized.

Yan Wu frowned, and said with admiration, "How did Mu Chen come up with the idea of soaking the medicinal herbs in the broth?"

"If we knew it's a recipe for broth, we don't need to spend so many elementary stones." Lan Da said with a frown.

"If? Can you think of it earlier?" Lu Han said.

Tai Shuming squinted his eyes and said, "Mu Chen is quite talented!"

"I heard that Mu Chen is a spiritual chef, and his cooking skills are not bad. Senior Jing seems to appreciate the cakes made by Mu Chen." Lu Han chuckled lightly.

"This guy is really versatile, alchemy, talisman, and now he's a spiritual chef." Yan Wu couldn't help but admired.

Tai Shuming said, "I heard that this guy has already gone to the Talisman Association to be certified as a second-level talisman, and he is already a second-level talisman."

Lu Han frowned. He originally thought that it was a sure thing for Mu Chen to transfer to the Alchemy School later, but now Lu Han didn't think so anymore. Mu Chen's ability to make talismans was also very good, and it was possible that Mu Chen wanted to stay in the talisman.

"Unfortunately, this guy's talent is so good, but he has too many interests. If this guy can focus on alchemy, he will have a brighter future." Lu Han sighed.

"Mu Chen is clever, but he has too many thoughts. Such a person is destined to not go far. Dean, don't think about him too much." Lan Da said disapprovingly.

Yan Wu nodded and said in agreement, "Yes! I thought he had developed some new type of pill formula, but it turned out to be a broth recipe. It is nothing valuable. There are many young talents in Alchemy School. We don't need Mu Chen."

Lu Han looked at a few people, frowned, and said, "For now. Let's wait and see." 

............

"Grandpa, why are looking for me in such a hurry?" Xie Danyan looked at Xie Qiong and asked.

"I heard that Lian Mengxun from your academy was looking for the beast spirit pill. Did she really find it?" Xie Qiongman asked eagerly.

Xie Danyan nodded and said, "Yes!"

"That medicinal pill has something to do with Mu Chen?" Xie Qiong asked immediately.

Xie Danyan nodded and said, "I heard it seems so."

"How much do you know about that pill formula?" Xie Qiong asked excitedly.

Xie Danyan said embarrassingly, "I only know that Ye Shi sold the pill formula to the Alchemy School at the price of five million elementary stones." Five million elementary stones! As soon as Ye Shi got the elementary stones, he spent most of the elementary stones.

Xie Danyan thought she spent a lot of money, but obviously Ye Shi was richer than her, or Mu Chen behind Ye Shi was richer than her.

"Can you go and talk to Mu Chen to see what's going on with the beast spirit pill?" Xie Qiong stared at Xie Danyan, looking with expectation.

Xie Danyan said in embarrassment, "I'm going to talk to Mu Chen...Grandpa, we are not close." She had never given Mu Chen a good impression when she met Mu Chen a few times before.

"If you didn't have to fight with Mu Chen because of Lan Ruofeng, Mu Chen would not have moved out of our guild." Xie Qiong complained Xie Danyan.

Xie Danyan lowered his head. She didn't expect Mu Chen to have the ability to research the beast spirit pill!

"Grandpa, Mu Chen just research the beast spirit pill. It's just a pill for beasts. Is it really necessary to do so?" Xie Danyan said angrily.

"You...you...you are driving me crazy." Xie Qiong said angrily.

Xie Danyan bit her lip. In fact, she already knew she was wrong, but she just didn't want to accept it.

"When your Grandpa Fu told me repeatedly to make good friends with Mu Chen. As a result, our current relationship is so tense with Mu Chen." Xie Qiong shook his head helplessly, and felt regret.

Xie Danyan lowered his head in embarrassment, and felt some regrets. If it wasn't for her, Mu Chen would have helped the low-level alchemist guild.

 

............

"Ye Rong, did you know? Ye Shi spent another 1,200,000 elementary stones the day before yesterday to buy a third-level pill formula in the academy." A student said.

"Really?" Ye Rong couldn't help but grit her teeth.

In the test of the Saint Star Academy, out of the three people from the Ye family, only Ye Rong managed to pass the test. After entering the academy, the life at the academy was far from what Ye Rong imagined.

In the academy, the competition was fierce. There were many factions. Students took sides. Students who could not adapt to this fierce competition were kicked out mercilessly.

"Is your Ye family so rich? He spend a lot." One of Ye Rong's classmates asked in confusion.

"How is that possible?" Ye Rong smiled reluctantly.

During this time, she wrote a letter to her mother, and got some surprising news.

For example, Ye Shi's daddy had a strange background. When he got married, he brought a large amount of "dowry". His grandfather Ye He became a martial spirit with the help of the dowry from Ye Shi's daddy. And because of this, the Ye family expanded several times.

His father married Ye Shi's daddy because of the dowry.

After Ye Shi's daddy died, his father always suspected that he had left some treasures for Ye Shi, so he kept deducting Ye Shi's fee, trying to force Ye Shi to exchange it, but unfortunately, Ye Shi did not take any action.

Ye Shi was so rich. Was it because he spend the money his daddy left him?

"The Ye family has no money, but Ye Shi does have money. He is now martial king's apprentice, and Senior Jing should have subsidized Ye Shi a lot." A young girl guessed.

"I heard that it is not the case. It is said that the money belongs to Mu Chen."

"Mu Chen is only a martial art master. Where did he get so much money?"

"Speaking of which, Ye Shi is not an alchemist. What does he need so many pill formulas for?"

"He's not, his fiance Mu Chen is! I heard that most of Ye Shi's elementary stones are spent on Mu Chen."

Ye Rong lowered her head. When Ye Ming left, Ye Ming only gave her 5,000 elementary stones. 5,000 elementary stones couldn't do anything in the imperial city. Even a beautiful dress would cost 10,000 elementary stones .

As soon as Ye Rong entered the academy, she became a poor girl in the eyes of everyone, and was despised everywhere.

But Ye Shi, whom she had always despised, became so rich that he could buy anything that was worth millions.

Hearing Ye Shi's deeds of splashing a lot of money without blinking, Ye Rong felt more depressed.

Ye Rong once thought of asking for Ye Shi's help, but the two of them were always at odds with each other in the family. Ye Shi might not be kind to her. So Ye Rong never did. 

Ye Rong secretly said, Ye Shi has so many elementary stones to feed his fiance but did not spend some on his own sister.

 

............

Dormitory of Talisman School .

"Mu Chen, what are you doing?" Yan He asked.

Mu Chen glanced at Yan He lightly, and said calmly, "I'm making a talisman. The talisman I handed in today, the instructor said that it was unqualified and had to be remade."

Yan He, Lu Yi, and Jiang Cheng couldn't help looking at each other.

"Mu Chen, anyone will know that Mr. Fan Li is trying to embarrass you." Yan He said with some resentment.

There were only a few second-level talus masters in the Talisman School, and Mu Chen's level was outstanding even among the second-level talisman masters. Fan Li was obviously taking personal revenge.

Mu Chen smiled nonchalantly and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

Of course he knew that Fan Li was embarrassing him. As soon as the school started, he made Fan Li embarrassed. How could Fan Li like him?

However, no matter how angry he was, Mu Chen would only hold back his anger. He was a student and Fan Li was a tutor. If he couldn't hold back his anger and fight with Fan Li, Fan Li would expel him from the academy. That's exactly what Fan Li planned. Sooner or later, he would take revenge.

"Mu Chen, did you know? Lan Ruofeng is already a third-level martial art master, and he has also made a major breakthrough in alchemy. It is said that yesterday he went to the Alchemy Association for verification, and he is already a third-level alchemist." Yan He said with envy.

A bit of cold light flashed in Mu Chen's eyes, "So fast?" Lan Ruofeng still performed so well without strange fire. No wonder Lan Ruofeng could become one of Zhuang Yu's partners.

"Yeah! It's so fast. He is far more outstanding than some seniors. He's really amazing!" Lu Yi said.

"He is amazing." Mu Chen lowered his head and said. He had already been able to refine third-level medicinal pills, but his cultivation level was way lower than Lan Ruofeng.

"Actually, it makes sense. After all, he is now a disciple of martial king. With thorough guidance of senior Hua Shu, it is normal for him to promote quickly." Jiang Cheng said.

"Mu Chen, you are also very amazing. You are a second-level martial art master." Lu Yi smiled.

Mu Chen smiled lightly and said, "Compared to Lan Ruofeng, I am one step behind."

"Mu Chen, after all, you have a sixth-level qualification, while Lan Ruofeng is a seventh-level qualification!" Jiang Chengdao.

In the early stage of cultivation, the influence of aptitude was not large. The later stage, the greater the influence of aptitude. Basically, 90% of the people who could become Martial Kings were people with 7th or 8th level aptitude. This was why Saint Star Academy valued aptitude so much.

"Mu Chen, you are already a two-star martial art master. You should break through soon." Jiang Cheng asked.

Mu Chen nodded and said lightly, "I suppose so."

Hearing Mu Chen's words, Jiang Cheng and the others couldn't help looking at each other.

 

 

90. New type of fire symbol

"Mu Chen, Ye Shi is here." Lu Yi raised his voice and said to Mu Chen.

Mu Chen raised his head and looked towards the door. Ye Shi was standing at the door, looking inside from time to time. Mu Chen stood up and walked towards Ye Shi under the slightly playful eyes of everyone in the dormitory.

Mu Chen calmly took Ye Shi's hand and left the dormitory.

"What's the matter? Who messed up with you? You're not in a good mood?" Mu Chen pinched Ye Shi's face and asked.

Ye Shi lowered his head and said in depression, "I only learned today that Ye Rong also passed the academy's test and entered the academy. She came to see me today."

At the admission of Saint Star Academy, there was a problem with Mu Chen. Ye Shi focused wholeheartedly on Mu Chen, and Ye Shi didn't pay attention to the situation on the Ye family's side.

Mu Chen folded his arms and said, "She's coming to you! She is shameless. She should avoid you. Is she looking for a beating?"

Mu Chen and Ye Rong met several times. Judging from those times, Ye Shi and Ye Rong were in terrible relationship. Ye Shi had now become a martial king's apprentice. Ye Rong did not hide from Ye Shi, but took the initiative to come to the door. What did she want?

"Actually, I did beat her up." Ye Shi said with a frustrated expression.

"She messed with you?" Mu Chen asked.

Ye Shi frowned and said excitedly, "She said that I stole the elementary stones from my family, and I splashed all the money to raising..." a toy boy.

"What?" Mu Chen asked.

Ye Shi shook his head and said angrily, "It's nothing. I just beat her up."

Mu Chen squinted his eyes. When Ye Shi came to City of Mo, he obviously had nothing, and even went to work in a restaurant. How could Ye Rong actually said that?

"Actually, I learned something recently." Mu Chen said.
The secret room where Green Hell flame was located was too strange, so Mu Chen couldn't help but keep an eye on it.

Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen puzzled and said, "What?"

"Your daddy brought a lot of training treasures when he was married to your father. Your grandfather became a martial spirit only by relying on the spiritual things your daddy brought." Mu Chen said.

Ye Shi's eyes widened in disbelief, and said, "How come? Grandpa, he..." He never said anything.

Mu Chen squinted his eyes and said, "I know your grandfather treats you well, but why he treats you well, I'm really not sure."

Ye Shi frowned and suddenly remembered that his daddy had said before, "The Ye family is such a mess. No one is a nice man here."

At that time, he felt that daddy might have a wrong opinion. But now that he thought about it, there seemed to be some kind of transaction between his daddy and his grandfather. After his daddy died, his grandfather asked him several times whether his daddy left something for him. Every time he said no. His grandpa looked weird, and even became more and more estranged from himself.

Ye Shi frowned and suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

"What did you think of?" Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi and asked.

Ye Shi shook his head and said, "No, nothing."

Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi's face, and a strange look flashed in his eyes. Ye Shi's face didn't seem like it was nothing. But since Ye Shi didn't want to say it, Mu Chen didn't press.

"Let's go out for a walk. I happen to have something I want to show you." Mu Chen said.

Ye Shi nodded, put aside the messy thoughts in his mind, and said, "Okay!"

 

............

"What is this?!" Ye Shi said in confusion while holding the talisman paper given by Mu Chen.

Mu Chen activated the talisman, and a flame floated out.

"Flame fire talisman, no, the power of this flaming fire talisman seems to be greater than that of ordinary ones, and this talisman seems to contain a trace of the essence of the sun." Ye Shi thought thoughtfully.

Mu Chen smiled and said, "Stone, you have an acute sense! This is what I newly developed based on the traditional fire talisman. This flame is the essence of the sun."

Ye Shi was amazed and said, "How is that possible?" According to rumors, it was difficult to collect the sun essence fire.

Mu Chen smiled and said, "As for the specific effect of this talisman, we have to get it tested by the Talisman Guild."

Ye Shi's eyes widened, and he secretly said: If this talisman really contains the essence of the sun, then it will definitely be able to be sold at a lot of elementary stones. Probably several million.

The people in the academy thought that he had many elementary stones that he couldn't use up. He was actually very poor. Mu Chen always had all kinds of things he wanted to buy. Mu Chen spent all of them in a short while.

Ye Shi and Mu Chen handed the talisman to the people from the Talisman Association, and then walked out with a receipt.

"Seriously! I paid 10,000 elementary stones for the appraisal fee, and the results will be out in a few days." Ye Shi walked out of the Talisman Association and said angrily.

Mu Chen smiled and said, "Okay, calm down. It's only 10,000 elementary stones."

Ye Shi said , "10,000 elementary stones! How many roast chickens can you buy? Those people's attitudes are not good at all."

"I know their attitude is not good. Don't worry. Their attitude will be good in the future." Mu Chen smiled indifferently.

Ye Shi's mood calmed down a bit, "Mu Chen, why did you think of studying this kind of talisman?"

Mu Chen shrugged and said, "Father has always wanted strange fires, but apart from Green Hell flame, I can't find any other kind of fire. Essence of sun fire is a good choice."

Ye Shi said, "You mean, ingesting the sun essence fire through talisman?"

Mu Chen nodded and said, "Yes."

"Genius idea!" Ye Shi couldn't help but said. If the sun essence fire in talisman could really be refined, how much could the talisman be worth? Ye Shi could see that countless elementary stones were floating in front of him.

Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi's wandering appearance and said, "What are you thinking about?"

Ye Shi regained his senses from the ocean of elementary stones, "Can you really extract the sun's essence fire from the talisman? I feel that the talisman contains the sun's essence fire, but it's a little weak!"

Mu Chen smiled nonchalantly and said, "That's not a problem. A few hundred sheets should be enough."

Ye Shi nodded, hesitated for a while, and said, "It should be possible to use a lot. However, this talisman is difficult to refine..."

Mu Chen shook his head and said disapprovingly, "Fortunately, it's very simple, and I can continue improving it."

Ye Shi said with anticipation, "I don't know when the appraisal result will come out. When the appraisal result comes out, it will definitely shock everyone."

Mu Chen shrugged and said, "I heard that the efficiency of the Talisman Guild is not high. I'm afraid it will take two days."

Ye Shi frowned and said with dissatisfaction, "How can they still charge such an expensive appraisal fee for such a low efficiency?"

"Okay, stop complaining." Mu Chen said.

 

............

"The person who went out before seems to be Mu Chen!" Hu Gan, the vice president of the Talisman Association on the high floor, looked at Mu Chen and Ye Shi who were walking downstairs.

"You seem to be paying attention to Mu Chen recently? Is there anything special about this guy?" Fang Zhiyuan, president of the Talisman Guild, said leisurely while drinking.

"This boy is not simple! Not only is he a second-level talisman master, he is also a second-level alchemist." Hu Gan said lightly.

"It's absurd. Talisman and alchemy are both broad and profound. It's hard to specialize in one. He actually wants to specialize in two." Fang Zhiyuan disagreed.

Hu Gan narrowed his eyes and said, "Actually, there are rumors that Mu Chen learned to make talismans in one day."

Fang Zhiyuan frowned and said angrily, "nonsense."

"I also think it's just a rumor. But Mu Chen's talent for making talismans is really unusual. He made the spring breeze and rain talismans that are popular outside." Hu Gan said.

"I heard about it. He was lucky to make it by accident." Fang Zhiyuan said with disapproval.

"Even if so, it was not easy." Hu Gan frowned and said, "What is he doing here?"

"If you want to know, go ahead and ask." Fang Zhiyuan said lightly.

Hu Gan stood up and said, "That's right. I'll go down and have a look."

"You're really going?" Fang Zhiyuan looked at Hu Gan and said with a frown.

Hu Gan smiled and said, "I have nothing else to do."

 

............

"What is that boy doing?" Fang Zhiyuan followed Hu Gan downstairs and asked the young receipt.

"He's here to identify a talisman." The young receipt was full of surprise when he saw the two appear, and he said with respect.

"What is the talisman?" Hu Gan asked with great interest.

"It looks like a Fire Talisman, but it's slightly different." The young talisman maker said.

"Bring it to me." Fang Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes and said.

When the young man heard the words, he immediately took out the talisman sent by Mu Chen.

The young man carefully looked at Fang Zhiyuan and Hu Gan, and was secretly curious about the identities of the two young men who came before. They actually attracted the attention of the two presidents of the Talisman Association.

"The structure of this talisman is a bit weird!" Hu Gan said while rubbing his chin.

"He has so many thoughts. I think there should be several lines that are fake lines just to confuse people." Fang Zhiyuan said with narrowed eyes.

"It's possible. I don't know what's so special about this talisman so that he did this." Hu Gan shook his head and said.

"He is so stingy. Probably he is afraid that our Talisman Association will covet his talisman." Fang Zhiyuan was slightly dissatisfied.

Fang Zhiyuan activated the talisman, and a fire burst out from the talisman.

The young talisman master was surprised. The flame talisman that Mu Chen handed over seemed to be 20% bigger than the ordinary talisman, but it was nothing special. Yes, after all, it's just a second-grade talisman.

The young man turned his gaze to the chairman and vice-chairman, but found that both of them were surprised.

"I didn't feel wrong, right?" Hu Gan frowned and said solemnly.

"No. Although it is weak, it is indeed the aura of the sun's fire." Fang Zhiyuan said with a stiff voice.

Hu Gan turned his head and said, "If this talisman can extract the essence of the sun, then..."

Fang Zhiyuan frowned and said, "Mu Chen did not make this talisman, did he?"

"It's very possible. Hurry up. We have to find them as soon as possible, and buy this talisman one step ahead of the Saint Star Academy." Hu Gan said solemnly.

"If this talisman can really extract the essence of the sun, then the value of this talisman is absolutely inestimable." Fang Zhiyuan's eyes sparkled brightly.
