Chapter 258: Overt and covert fighting

When Ye Shi saw Mu Chen and Bai Chenxing coming out, he immediately pounced on Mu Chen.

"Mu Chen, are you okay?" Ye Shi asked anxiously, grabbing Mu Chen's arm.

"It's okay, I'm fine. I'm sorry for the trouble, father-in-law." Mu Chen pretended to smile gratefully at Bai Chenxing.

Bai Chenxing crossed his arms, looked at Ye Shi unhappily, and said angrily, "Are you afraid that I will eat him?"

Ye Shi blushed as he glanced at Bai Chenxing and said, "No, Father, did you really use the highest standard of methods to cleanse Mu Chen's meridians and marrow? Don't be perfunctory with me!"

Bai Chenxing glared at Ye Shi angrily, "You just don't trust your father!"

Bai Chenxing did use the highest standard of methods, but they were different from the ones he used on Ye Shi. Bai Yanxing used a very gentle method on Ye Shi, but used fierce medicine on Muchen. The effects were similar, but the latter had to suffer a lot.

Bai Chenxing looked at Mu Chen's calm expression and couldn't help but look at Mu Chen differently. Although the process of cleansing the meridians and marrow was extremely painful, and could even be described as worse than death, Mu Chen didn't even make a sound.

Compared with Ye Shi's unique qualifications, Muchen's qualifications are too poor. However, with such qualifications, Muchen is ahead of Ye Shi. It can be seen how terrifying Muchen's talent is.

Mu Chen bit his lip. It was obvious that the cleansing of his meridians and marrow had improved. Mu Chen felt that the speed at which he absorbed Yuanli was two or three times faster than before. However, this guy Bai Chenxing was too cruel.

"Mu Chen is still a nine-star Martial Emperor!" Ye Shi said a little depressed.

Bai Chenxing glanced at Ye Shi helplessly and said, "Marrow cleansing improves aptitude, but it can't directly increase strength. Mu Chen's aptitude is much worse than yours. After cleansing, his cultivation speed should be able to increase by more than three times."

Ye Shi said excitedly, "Really? That's great."

Bai Chenxing looked at Ye Shi's excitement and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He was a level 7 Five-element Magic Master, a Nine-Star Martial Emperor, and he had a strange fire close to level 8 and had inherited the Five Spirits Pagoda. If Muchen continued to advance at this rate, it would be difficult for him to suppress this man. Yanxing obeyed Muchen's orders. If this man had ulterior motives towards Yanxing...

Bai Chenxing gritted his teeth and suppressed the uneasiness in his heart. From the results of his investigation in Xuanfeng, it seemed that Mu Chen really liked Yan Xing.

"Father, Mu Chen's strength has improved too quickly recently. Is there any way to stabilize it?" Ye Shi said with blinking eyes.

Bai Chenxing smiled and said, "Of course."

"What method?" Ye Shi asked.

Bai Chenxing said casually: "Just practice more. If you don't mind, I can be Mu Chen's sparring partner."

Muchen's expression suddenly changed. The little tower grumbled in Muchen's mind, "Muchen, you've pissed off your father-in-law! He's going to teach you a lesson himself. You're doomed! You'll be crippled, hahahaha..."

Mu Chen: “…”

Ye Shi hesitated and said, "Father, will you do it yourself?"

Bai Chenxing smiled calmly, "Why, do you look down on me, your father? Ordinary people who want me to be their sparring partner would have to pay at least tens of thousands of mid-grade Yuanshi a day. This opportunity doesn't come around often. If I do it myself, I'm more measured. If I just find a martial arts master, I'm afraid he'll hurt yours!"

After hearing what Bai Chenxing said, Ye Shi looked towards Mu Chen and asked in a low voice, "Mu Chen, what do you think?"

Mu Chen smiled and said, "Having a senior as a sparring partner is something I'd love to have, but I'm afraid I'll delay your work."

Bai Chenxing smiled gently at Mu Chen, "Don't worry, there is still some time."

Bai Chenxing's tone was as calm as water, but to Mu Chen, it sounded indescribably sinister.

The small tower spun around in Muchen's sea of ​​consciousness. "Master Tower Master, please prepare some more elixirs to treat injuries from falls and hemiplegia. You're going to have a hard time in the days ahead."

Mu Chen: “…”

A temporary villa for the people in the formation tower Danta.

"I've found out," Yin Jianping walked in, "someone has, by chance, recovered the formula for the Su Xin Dan, and that person has been recruited by the Bai family."

Ge Xiaodie frowned and said in surprise: "The Bai family is so quick."

"The Bai family is the local tyrant after all. It's not surprising that they got there first." Yin Jianping said thoughtfully.

Ge Xiaodie sighed softly and said helplessly: "Once someone enters the Bai family, it will be difficult to recruit him again."

"Can we buy the pill formula from the Bai family?" Xue Bin asked.

Ge Xiaodie shook her head and said, "I'm afraid it's difficult." The Bai family is a family of formations and has no shortage of Yuanshi.

"Bai Chenxing seems to want to ask the ancestor to help refine the Soul-Returning Pill." Yin Jianping said.

A hint of impatience flashed across Ge Xiaodie's face. "I beg you, Grandpa, to help me. I haven't come out of seclusion for decades. Although the Su Xin Dan is good, I'm afraid it's not strong enough. Please help me, Grandpa."

Yin Jianping nodded and said, "Yes! However, the person has been recruited by Bai Chenxing, and Bai Chenxing only has this one request."

Ge Xiaodie frowned and said, "Bai Chenxing wants to ask the ancestor to refine the Soul Returning Pill?"

"Yes! I heard that Bai Yanxing's mother and father are still alive, but I don't know why they are unconscious and need the Soul-Returning Pill to save their lives." Yin Jianping said.

Ge Xiaodie sighed and said, "Bai Yanxing really has nothing to say about that person."

Xue Bin nodded and said in deep agreement, "That's right. Bai Chenxing has been alone for many years. I thought it was for Xia Ruoxue, but who knew it was for someone else."

Ge Xiaodie frowned and said, "We can't make the decision on asking the ancestor for help. We can only see if there is any other way to buy the recipe from Bai Yanxing. It would be great if we can contact the alchemist directly."

Xue Bin frowned and said, "That person seems to have been hidden by Bai Yanxing."

Ge Xiaodie bit her lip and said, "I don't know if this person got the Suxin Pill formula by chance or if he restored it himself. If he restored it himself, then he might have the ability to restore other precious pill formulas."

"It shouldn't be the case. If there really was an alchemist like this, he would have been famous long ago." Yin Jianping said disapprovingly.

Bai family.

"Father, didn't the people from Danta agree?" Ye Shi looked at Bai Chenxing and said.

Bai Chenxing shook his head and said, "No, I didn't expect them to agree in the first place. Although the Su Xin Dan is good, it's not good enough to ask the Danta for help. I did this just to divert their attention and let the Danta people continue the investigation. I'm afraid they will trace it back to Mu Chen."

Ye Shi nodded, said "Oh", frowned, and said, "Father, the people in Danta are too arrogant. In fact, Mu Chen will be a late-stage eighth-level alchemist in no time. We don't need to ask that old man for help. Besides, I heard that the old man's success rate in refining eighth-level high-grade pills is not high."

Bai Chenxing's face darkened. If it had been someone else who had said this, Bai Chenxing would have already launched into a barrage of abuse. "Do you think late-stage eighth-level alchemists are cheap?" They were a dime a dozen. The gap between seventh-level and eighth-level was enormous. Otherwise, why would Danta only have one late-stage eighth-level alchemist?

Unfortunately, it was Ye Shi who said this...

Bai Chenxing had no choice but to say in a friendly manner: "It's just a precaution. It will give us another option when the time comes."

Ye Shi nodded and said, "That's right."

"I didn't expect that Mu Chen could actually restore the recipe of Suxin Pill. He is really amazing." Bai Chenxing couldn't help but sigh.

Ye Shi nodded and said proudly, "Mu Chen is already very powerful!"

Bai Chenxing: "..." Bai Chenxing narrowed his eyes. Although Mu Chen's attitude towards him was not very good, when he asked Mu Chen for the recipe of Yuanxin Pill, Mu Chen gave it to him without saying a word. He was quite sensible.

Ye Shi looked at Bai Chenxing eagerly and said, "Father, that pill recipe is very expensive. Shouldn't you give Mu Chen some money?"

"Isn't your daily subsidy to him enough? You give him all the Yuanshi I give you." Bai Chenxing said unhappily.

Ye Shi smiled awkwardly and said, "Xiaota said that he needs a lot of Yuanshi to repair it. Only when he repairs it can Muchen become more powerful."

Bai Chenxing frowned, "That Mu Chen is too powerful. You've been left too far behind. What if he doesn't want you anymore?"

Ye Shi bit his lip and said uneasily, "No way."

Bai Chenxing looked at Ye Shi, sighed softly, and said, "Even if he treats you well, you still have to be careful."

Ye Shi sighed softly and said helplessly, "If he really changes his mind, then I can't stop him. However, Muchen won't do that. Even Zhuang Yu can't seduce him. Zhuang Yu can seduce anyone, but not Muchen."

When Bai Chenxing heard Ye Shi mention Zhuang Yu, a sinister look suddenly appeared on his face.

The whereabouts of the Ming Clan were erratic. Although he sent people to track down Zhuang Yu, they found nothing.

"By the way, father, I heard that Bai Yi is dead!" Ye Shi said with a gloating look.

Bai Chenxing nodded and said calmly, "Yes! He had an accident in the secret realm."

Ye Shi narrowed his eyes, with a hint of pride in them. "He has such bad luck, but it's because he is with Zhuang Yu. This bitch Zhuang Yu is destined to bring bad luck to her husband. Any man who is with her will be killed by her." Ye Shi laughed at the end of his words.

Bai Chenxing looked at the sly smile on Ye Shi's face, and the corners of his mouth also rose.

"Father, you have been guiding Mu Chen for so long. How strong is Mu Chen?" Ye Shi asked.

Bai Chenxing smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad, very good. Although he only has the strength of a Martial Emperor, Yanxing has good vision." It's really not easy for a Martial Emperor to be so tough!

Ye Shi grinned and said, "Mu Chen is very strong."

Bai Chenxing nodded and said, "That's not the case."

"Mu Chen didn't even say goodbye to me when he left." Ye Shi said depressedly.

Bai Chenxing lowered his head and thought to himself: Mu Chen is quite sensible, otherwise he would meet Yanxing with a bruised face, and Yanxing would probably have a prejudice against him.
