Chapter 255

Mu Chen and Ye Shi subdued the strange fire and immediately left the place, spreading out in the wind to look for other opportunities in the ruins.

Three days later, Wu Feng and others gathered in the stone chamber where the strange fire was originally placed.

"Miss, this altar seems to be used to imprison strange fire." said someone next to Wu Feng.

Wu Feng's hand gently stroked the altar, his face dark. "Perhaps over time, the power of the altar has weakened, and it can no longer contain the strange fire, so it escaped on its own."

"Miss, I wonder if Young Master Bai will get there first from now on. The blood of the spirit race, however..."

Wu Feng's eyes narrowed suddenly, "That shouldn't be the case. I saw Bai Yanxing two days ago, and he didn't have the aura of strange fire."

"Could it be that He Jingyue and that Chen Mu?"

Wu Feng shook his head and said, "That's even more impossible. Fusion of the strange fire requires a huge amount of soul power. He Jingyue and Chen Mu's strength is insufficient. Moreover, judging from the aura left here, the strange fire imprisoned here should be Qing Ru Xiaotian."

"The temperament of this strange fire is very violent. If Chen Mu and He Jingyue try to seize it without knowing their own strength, they will only be burned to ashes by the flames. What's more, it takes time to subdue the strange fire." Wu Feng didn't know that Mu Chen already had a strange fire on his body, and with the help of the spirit tower, the time to subdue the strange fire was greatly shortened.

"So, the strange fire really escaped on its own?"

Wu Feng bit his lip and said, "This is probably the only possibility."

Wu Feng looked at the altar and sighed lightly. Although the other things in the secret realm were also good, they were far inferior to Qing Ruxiaotian.

Wu Feng sighed softly and said, "Let's look around. Maybe the strange fire is still in the ruins."

…

The Bai family of Zhongzhou.

"Are you back?" Bai Chenxing looked at Ye Shi, who looked exhausted.

Ye Shi nodded obediently and said, "Yes!"

Bai Chenxing narrowed his eyes, crossed his fingers, stared at Ye Shi and said, "I heard from Wu Feng that you, Yan Xing, have a special method of breaking the formation. You can lead people through the formation without breaking it."

Ye Shi rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said, "Yes!"

Bai Chenxing smiled helplessly and said, "I didn't know that this kind of magic was recorded in the Bai family's formation book."

Ye Shi blinked innocently and said, "This is my unique trick..."

"You and Mu Chen have gotten in touch, right?" Bai Chenxing interrupted Ye Shi.

Ye Shi opened his eyes wide in surprise, then nodded a little embarrassedly and said, "Yes! You know."

"I knew that if you hadn't contacted Muchen, you would be anxious to find him all day long and would not have the mood to break any ancient formation." Bai Chenxing said unhappily.

Ye Shi bit his lip, stole a glance at Bai Chenxing, and thought to himself: Father is actually not stupid! I don't know how Ye Xun deceived me so badly in the first place.

"You used the teleportation jade pendant to lead people into the formation, right? Drawing a teleportation jade pendant requires a mastery of both formations and inscriptions. That thing definitely wasn't your work."

Ye Shi was filled with amazement, "Father, you are truly as foresighted as a god."

"Wu Feng said that the formation is an ancient formation of the mid-seventh level. Mu Chen drew a teleportation jade token specifically for that formation. His formation skills and inscription skills are indeed not weak." Bai Chenxing murmured.

Ye Shi nodded solemnly and said hurriedly: "Yes! Yes! Mu Chen is very powerful."

"He should be Chen Mu from the Formation Master Guild now." Bai Chenxing tapped the table with his fingers.

"Yes, Mu Chen was afraid of being noticed, so he disguised himself very ugly. Otherwise, Mu Chen is so outstanding, I would really be worried and put him in the formation tower." Ye Shi said, holding his chin.

Bai Chenxing sneered coldly and said, "There are so many talented people in Zhongzhou. Mu Chen is helpless and a commoner. Why would anyone take notice of him?"

Ye Shi looked at Bai Chenxing with some resentment and said, "Mu Chen is very powerful. No genius in Zhongzhou can compare to Mu Chen. Mu Chen knows everything. He absorbed Qing Ru Xiaotian and is already a Nine-Star Martial Emperor..."

Bai Chenxing looked at Ye Shi unhappily and said, "Qing Ru Xiao Tian is the strange fire in the secret realm. Why don't you absorb it and give it to Mu Chen?"

"I...I don't need it." Ye Shi muttered.

Bai Chenxing glared at Ye Shi unhappily, "Can't use it? Of course, with the strange fire, at least we have one more tool to use against the enemy."

Ye Shi puffed out his cheeks and said nothing.

Bai Chenxing looked at Ye Shi with a look of disappointment and said, "Let Mu Chen take all the benefits of this trip to the secret realm."

Ye Shi shook his head and said, "No, no." Ye Shi took out a jade box and said, "Mu Chen said this thing would be useful to you and asked me to bring it back to you."

"Yin Ling Crystal?" Bai Chenxing's eyes narrowed and he said, "It is indeed a good thing. That kid is sensible." He did not eat it alone. The value of Yin Ling Crystal is no less than that of strange fire.

Ye Shi bit his lip and said, "Mu Chen, it's great that you just jumped over!"

Bai Chenxing glared at Ye Shi angrily. His son was completely hopeless when it came to matters related to Muchen. "Find an opportunity and ask him out for a private meeting."

"Father, what are you going to do to Mu Chen?" Ye Shi asked warily.

Bai Chenxing glared at Ye Shi unhappily and said, "What can I do? What can I do to him? Didn't you ask me to cleanse his meridians and marrow?"

Ye Shi blinked and said happily, "Father, you are so kind."

Bai Chenxing showed a bitter smile on his face. Mu Chen was Ye Shi's dead setter. To please Ye Shi, it seemed that as long as he was nice to Mu Chen, he could achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Ye Shi took out dozens of bottles of pills and placed them in front of Bai Chenxing.

Bai Chenxing glanced at the pill bottle and said, "All of them are level seven pills."

Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yes! Mu Chen asked me to sell it."

Bai Chenxing nodded and said, "This kid's alchemy skills are really good. He should be in the late seventh level. With more opportunities, he may step into the eighth level at any time."

Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yes! When the time comes, we can ask Mu Chen to refine the Soul Return Pill for our mother and father. Mu Chen's success rate in refining pills is very high."

Bai Chenxing frowned and said, "We'll talk about this when the time comes."

Even if he got the recipe for the pill, it would still take a lot of time to find all the spiritual herbs. Mu Chen's progress was amazing. Maybe by that time, he would really have the ability to refine the Soul-Returning Pill.

The old man Danta is valuable and has a bad temper, so he is not easy to please. He is ready to be shameless and willing to ask the old man for help at any cost. However, even so, the old man may not give him face.

Of course, if Mu Chen has the ability to refine late-stage eighth-level elixirs by then, it will be much easier.

"Recently, it seems that someone has come to Danta, so you should be more restrained." Bai Chenxing said thoughtfully.

Ye Shi asked in confusion: "Danta, why did Danta send someone here?"

Bai Chenxing glanced at Ye Shi calmly and said, "Your family member sold a lot of Grade 7 pills a while ago. They were all top-grade Grade 7 pills. Although he was very careful, the sudden appearance of a large number of Grade 7 pills of unknown origin still attracted the attention of those with ulterior motives. Danta, I guess they want to recruit him."

Ye Shi said excitedly: "Mu Chen is so popular, but he is mine."

Bai Chenxing smiled helplessly, his eyes swept across the several medicine bottles on the table, and he grabbed one of them.

Ye Shi looked at Bai Chenxing and asked, "Father, what's wrong?"

"Suxin Pill?" Bai Chenxing's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Ye Shi looked at Bai Chenxing and said, "Father, what's wrong with this pill?"

Bai Chenxing narrowed his eyes and said, "This pill can greatly increase the possibility of a Martial Emperor breaking through to the Martial Sect level. However, the recipe for the Su Xin Pill that has been passed down is incomplete. Many people have tried to restore the recipe, but none have succeeded. Where did Mu Chen get it?"

Ye Shi thought about it and said without hesitation: "Ah! Mu Chen is best at restoring pill formulas, so this pill formula must have been restored by him."

"Tell the one in your family that after refining this pill, don't sell it to anyone else." Bai Chenxing said with a serious expression.

Ye Shi nodded and said, "Okay."

Bai Chenxing lowered his head. Mu Chen was so outstanding, and he was attracted to Yan Xing only because he loved his son...

…

Formation Tower.

"You said that Ye Shi didn't break the formation, but led you through the formation barrier." He Xian stared at He Jingyue.

He Jingyue nodded and said, "Yes!"

He Xian frowned and asked, "How did he do it?"

"He performed some complicated spells in front of the formation, and the formation began to glow. Then, we passed through." He Jingyue said.

"That doesn't make sense!" He Xian frowned, looking puzzled.

"Is there any problem?" He Jingyue asked in confusion.

He Xian sighed lightly and said, "I've never heard of the Bai family having such a method. There is a method that can teleport, which is the teleportation jade token. However, the production of the teleportation jade token has been lost."

He Jingyue frowned and said, "I didn't see Ye Shi use the jade token?"

"Maybe he used it, but you didn't see it. Maybe it was the Bai family's hidden method." He Xian said thoughtfully.

He Jingyue bit her lip. If this was the Bai family's hidden method, then the gap between the Formation Tower and the Bai family would be greater than she imagined.

"What do you think of Chen Mu?" He Xian asked.

He Jingyue pondered for a while and said, "A very outstanding person."

He Xian sighed lightly and said, "This person... I'm a little confused. I hope he doesn't get involved with the Bai family again.

He Jingyue smiled disapprovingly and said, "Grandpa, you've been bitten once and you've become afraid of the rope for ten years! How come Bai Yanxing's situation happened again and again in the pit?"

"That's true, but Chen Mu and Bai Yanxing are very close?" He Xian asked.

He Jingyue nodded and said, "Yes!"

"Be careful, don't let Bai Yanxing kidnap this man." He Xian said seriously.

"I don't think so." He Jingyue said hesitantly.

"It's best to persuade Chen Mu to stay away from Bai Yanxing. Although Chen Mu is a good person, the Bai family is very xenophobic. Chen Mu looks like that, so the Bai family will definitely not agree to Chen Mu marrying Bai Yanxing." He Xian said.

He Jingyue blinked and said, "Grandpa, are you doubting that Chen Mu likes Bai Yanxing? That shouldn't be the case."

He Xian exhaled and said, "Although it's unlikely, these two people are too close."

He Jingyue nodded and said, "That's true."
