172. Secrets (1)

After the talismans competition was over, Mu Chen finally managed to take half a day off.

"Please tell the Dean of the Artifact Refining Institute, I'm really not being humble. I really don't know how to refine artifacts." Mu Chen helplessly dismissed the person who came.

Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen and said with great interest, "President of the Refining Institute has someone to talk to you again?"

Mu Chen answered, "That old man treats me like a god. He really thought I could do anything!"

He had never been in contact with refining tools, and he really knew nothing about refining tools.

Ye Shi held his chin and smiled brightly, "Mu Chen, you really look like a god!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" If he was really a god, why couldn't he reach the fourth level of inscriptions by now? Mu Chen had some doubts if Lu Yao being the protagonist was the reason why he would not be able to enter the fourth level.

"You're amazing indeed!" Ye Shi said.

Unsurprisingly, in the competition between the Artifact Refining Institutes, the two people were completely defeated.

 

Inscription Academy.

"Sister, what are you laughing at?" Xia Qingli asked, looking at Xia Qingyan who was laughing so loud.

Xia Qingyan said helplessly, "The old guy from the Refining Institute said that if Mu Chen is transferred to the Refining Institute, he wants to train Mu Chen to become an all-round talent, and he cannot let Refining become Mu Chen's shortcoming."

Xia Qingli laughed along, "That old man is really delusional."

"He is not the one to blame." Xia Qingyan narrowed her eyes.

Both Alchemy School and Talisman School were tied because of Mu Chen, but the Refining Academy suffered a complete lose. It was a shame.

 

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

Fu Yuanbao walked in. Ye Shi looked at Fu Yuanbao, who was getting fatter and fatter, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I'm here to send you materials?" Fu Yuanbao said earnestly.

"Is the next match a battle of formations?" Ye Shi asked.

Fu Yuanbao nodded and said, "Yes!"

"Then we don't need to read any information. Mu Chen will not lose." Ye Shi said firmly.

Fu Yuanbao stared blankly at Ye Shi. How could Ye Shi be so confident? Could it be that Mu Chen was a fourth-level formation master?

"Yuanbao, there is something I need your help." Mu Chen lightly clasped the table with his fingers.

Fu Yuanbao was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly cupped his hands, "I would do my best to do whatever you want me to."

Fu Yuanbao looked at Mu Chen excitedly. Ji Dongcheng got rich a lot these days. He did a little favor to Mu Chen and got a reward of 10 million. He had been working with Mu Chen for so long, the reward he got was only a few million.

"I want to ask you to check the origin of the Hundred Exercises. But keep it as a secret." Mu Chen instructed coldly.

Of course, it wasn't Fu Yuanbao that Mu Chen asked for help. Fu Yuanbao was good at investigating the gossip of the Saint Star Academy, but not Hundred Exercises. On the surface, Fu Yuanbao's family was running serious business, but secretly, they were also doing some intelligence gathering.

Fu Yuanbao rolled his eyes and realized that his opportunity had come. Whether he could gain Mu Chen's trust and get on Mu Chen's boat completely depended on his ability this time.

"Young Master Mu, I will give you an answer as soon as possible." Fu Yuanbao said.

Mu Chen nodded and said, "I'll wait for your news."

After Fu Yuanbao went out, Ye Shi couldn't help frowning, "Mu Chen, is it okay to do this? I don't think the matter of Hundred Exercise should be known by others."

"I know what to do." Mu Chen frowned. He also knew that this matter shouldn't be announced, but Lu Yao had already talked to him.

The efficiency of Fu Yuanbao was very high. The same afternoon, Fu Yuanbao returned with information.

The Hundred Exercises was the family heirloom of the Jin family. One ancestor of the Jin family was an emperor-level master. He was actually very strong and could always challenge others above his level.

Since the master passed away, the Jin family had been going downhill.

The entire Jin family was getting poorer and poorer. In the end, the family business declined, and there were only more than 100 people left in the whole family.

These more than 100 people were slaughtered overnight more than ten years ago.

After the demise of the Jin family, the Hundred Exercises went missing.

Ye Shi rolled his eyes helplessly after reading the information Fu Yuanbao had brought back, "Is the Hundred Exercises passed down by the Jin family? Zhuang Yu, that idiot, actually said that the skill is the Lu family's heirloom. " The Jin family was slaughtered. Maybe it was the Lu family who did it.

Mu Chen squinted his eyes, looked at Fu Yuanbao thoughtfully and asked, "Before the Jin family perished, the Hundred Exercises were always in the possession of the Jin family?"

Fu Yuanbao nodded and said, "Yes. The Jin family has possessed the skill for no less than three hundred years."

Mu Chen couldn't help but feel a little strange. If there were any secrets in the Hundred Exercises, wouldn't the Jin family know about it? If relying on this secret, the Jin family could become the strongest in one step, why would the Jin family be destroyed?

"The Jin family, why are they getting poorer and poorer?!" Ye Shi said puzzled.

Fu Yuanbao frowned and said, "According to the survey results, because the entire Jin family is popular for body training, and body training requires a lot of elementary stones. Their family's money is spent on body training."

Ye Shi nodded in agreement and said, "That's right. Body training is very expensive."

In the early stage of the Hundred Exercises, a large amount of low-level animal blood was needed to refine the body. Of course, this was just the beginning. Later, the quality of the animal blood required was getting higher and higher. The magic trick also required special flames to temper the impurities of the body. The high-level spiritual liquid regulated the body, in case the body would leave dark wounds.

If it wasn't for Mu Chen's ability to make money, they would have been poor long ago. In fact, even though Mu Chen was very good at making money, they would have spent most of their financial resources on body training.

Ye Shi rolled his eyes and asked curiously, "When the Jin family was wiped out, what level was the most powerful person in the clan?"

"When the Jin family was destroyed, there were two elders at the level of Martial King." Fu Yuanbao said solemnly.

"Wow!" Ye Shi couldn't help but opened his mouth wide and looked at Mu Chen.

"Martial King?" Mu Chen couldn't help frowning in surprise.

Fu Yuanbao nodded and said, "Yes." The strength of the Jin family was actually quite strong. What happened back then?

The Jin family had two strong martial kings, but their entire family were slaughtered completely. It seemed that the person who did it was likely to be a warrior at the level of martial emperor.

There must be something hidden behind the destruction of the Jin family. Lu Yao was so concerned about the Hundred Exercise probably because there was something to do with the Hundred Exercise.

The Jin family had been destroyed for just one book. This thing seemed to be a big deal!

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

There was a sound of hurried footsteps. A student rushed in panting.

Mu Chen looked at the person who came, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart, "What's the matter?"

"Student Mu Chen, someone is looking for you."

"Who?" Mu Chen asked.

"He said he is your father. He seems to be injured."

At this time, it was actually strictly forbidden for outsiders to come to the campus. However, it was Mu Chen's father. Mu Chen was very famous in the academy now. The staff of the academy had to give Mu Chen some favor.

Mu Chen and Ye Shi looked at each other. Mu Chen stood up abruptly, "I'll go take a look."

"I'll go too." Ye Shi said hurriedly.

Fu Yuanbao's chubby face flashed a bit of complexity, and he moved quickly to follow.

Mu Yuanfeng was arranged in a reception room of the academy. When Mu Chen and Ye Shi received the news, they rushed over immediately.

"Father, are you all right?"

Seeing that Mu Chen was safe and sound, Mu Yuanfeng breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm fine. But just your Uncle Chen, he was slapped by that person. Your Uncle Chen is... a master at the level of martial king."

Mu Yuanfeng looked strangely at Chen Da, who had a pale face. Chen Da had always been quiet back in Mu family. Even someone picked on him, he smiled it away. This time, an enemy came to catch Mu Yuanfeng, Chen Da took the action.

If it wasn't for this time, he might have regarded Chen Da as a useless person in his life.

Mu Chen looked at Chen Da, a bit of surprise flashed in his eyes. He always thought that Chen Da was weird. It turned out that this person was really not simple.

"Uncle Chen, you are martial king?! Why have I never heard before?" Ye Shi said in shock.

If Chen Da was a martial king, why did he never stand up for him when he was in the Ye family before?

"I was severely injured in my early years. I can use my skills twice. After two times, I will die." Chen Da sighed lightly.

He was deeply favored by Qu Kun, and was ordered to protect Qu Xinyang. Ye Shi was always wronged. He wanted to protect him but only at critical time.

If he wouldn't fight at all, he would have lived for another ten years. But after this fight, he could only live five more years.

"What?!" Ye Shi looked at Chen Da and said anxiously, "Uncle Chen, are you injured? Can you be cured?"

Chen Da glanced at Ye Shi and said with a gentle smile, "As long as I don't fight, everything will be fine. Don't worry."

Ye Shi looked at Chen Da in despair. If Chen Da said so, could he not be cured?

"Uncle Chen, is there any way to cure it? Mu Chen is very rich now, so he will definitely find a way." Ye Shi said.

Chen Da shook his head and said, "I'm really fine."

Mu Chen was indeed very powerful now, but his injury was too serious. Only the sixth-level medicinal pill would work. Although Mu Chen was a genius, he was still too young.

Mu Chen gritted his teeth, looked at Mu Yuanfeng, and asked, "Dad, do you know who hurt you?"

Mu Yuanfeng shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it seems that they don't want to kill me, but just wants to capture me. Moreover, their strength is very strong, but the one who made the move seems to be a martial king."

Chen Da squinted his eyes. Fortunately, the opponent was frightened by him. In fact, his injury was very serious, and his attacking would not last long.

Mu Chen squinted his eyes and was careless. Since someone could kill the Jin Family for the sake of the Hundred Exercises, how could he be fine now that someone knew that the Hundreds of Exercises were in his possession.

"Father, it's too dangerous outside. Just stay in the academy." Mu Chen thought for a while.

Fu Yuanbao frowned and said hesitantly, "Young Master Mu, this is against the rules!"

"I know, but my father can try to become a tutor of the academy."

Fu Yuanbao nodded, his eyes lit up, "That's possible Senior Mu is a fourth-level alchemist. If you want to become an academy tutor, that should be more than enough."

Mu Chen lowered his head. In the original story, to obtain the Hundred Exercises, Lu Yao killed Mu Chen. In order to avenge Mu Chen, Mu Yuanfeng went to find Lu Yao but was killed by Lu Yao's men.

Judging from the current situation, the Lu family was cruel and ruthless. Even if Mu Yuanfeng didn't avenge Mu Chen, Lu Yao still went after Mu Yuanfeng.
