Chapter 379

Ye Shi took Mu Chen for a walk around the outer city.

A large number of artillery batteries were built, and ninth-level formations could be seen everywhere. Most of the cultivators in the city were busy reinforcing the layout of the city walls.

Ye Shi said to Mu Chen, "Our ancestors said that after the formation is completed, there will be six entrances left. At that time, experts will be stationed to guard each entrance."

A hint of admiration flashed in Mu Chen's eyes, and he said, "Amazing."

They are all old monsters who have lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years. They usually look like they are still asleep, but when it comes to life and death, they become incredibly active.

Looking at the newly renovated city wall, Mu Chen couldn't help but feel his heart beating fast, thinking: There is still strength in numbers!

"Inscription, a ninth-level advanced inscription." Mu Chen looked at the inscription on the city wall, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.

"Is there anyone in the restricted area who understands the inscriptions?" Mu Chen muttered.

Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yes! I originally thought there weren't any, but I didn't expect there to be people who understand inscriptions. And quite a few of them. Most of the inscription materials contain a lot of curses, so before, many inscription masters' inscription skills fell into disuse. Now that curses can be removed, these people have fewer concerns."

"Mr. Mu, you're finally out! I haven't seen you for a long time." The grocery store owner walked up to Mu Chen with a smile.

"Really? Has it been that long?" Mu Chen asked strangely.

"It's been a while." More than a month is nothing for the old monsters in the city. The problem is that the timing of Mu Chen's disappearance is too coincidental.

"Mr. Mu, if you don't show up, everyone will think that you have offended Mr. Bai and been locked up for domestic violence." The boss in white said mischievously.

Muchen: “…”

Ye Shi: “…”

Mu Chen has been hiding and not showing up, and the task of removing the curse has been handed over to the Bai family and the Ling family, which has led to a lot of wild guesses from people outside.

Ye Shi was stunned for a moment, and muttered in frustration: "Why would I do that?"

Mu Chen changed the subject and said, "Senior, do you know who drew the inscription on this tower?"

"Mr. Mu, what do you think of this inscription?" asked the boss in white.

"It's a masterpiece of nature. If I'm not mistaken, there are two types of inscriptions on this city wall. One is for protection, which can increase the defense tenfold. This type of inscription is quite standard. The other is a spiral pattern, which should be able to absorb attacks and bounce them back." Mu Chen said with some reverence.

Ye Shi was stunned for a moment and said, "That sounds amazing!"

"Mr. Mu, you have a keen eye. It's really admirable!" said the boss in white.

Mu Chen smiled and said, "I am nothing. The inscriptionist who can draw this inscription is more admirable."

The white-robed boss said with a smile on his face, "Mr. Mu, you are really knowledgeable and have a good vision. No wonder everyone says you have a sharp eye. Nowadays, there are not many people as knowledgeable as you."

Ye Shi frowned and said, "Boss, you haven't told me who drew this inscription yet?"

The white-robed boss stroked his beard and said, "To be honest, I was the one who drew this inscription."

Ye Shi: “…”

Muchen: “…”

The white-clothed boss turned around and said triumphantly to the black-clothed man behind him, "Black man, now you know that what I draw is not some ghostly talisman."

Muchen: “…”

A ninth-level senior inscriptionist, in a restricted area, could only run a grocery store, relying on "swindling" to swindle a few Yuanshi, and for a few thousand mid-grade Yuanshi, he was complacent...

Mu Chen felt that his cognition collapsed all of a sudden. The Martial Saint in the restricted area was having a really... miserable life.

Mu Chen and Ye Shi walked around the city wall and soon became familiar with several high-level magicians.

"Mu Chen, what are your plans next?" Ye Shi asked Mu Chen.

Mu Chen smiled and said, "My cultivation seems to have reached a bottleneck. I want to refine another batch of ninth-level pills."

Ye Shi nodded and said, "That's good. I asked my ancestors, and they found that the contaminated ninth-level spiritual herbs in the secret realm can still be used to refine pills. However, the pills will be mixed with curses. However, since there is a way to extract the curse now, it's not a big deal."

Mu Chen nodded and said, "There are a lot of spiritual herbs in the secret realm, and they are very cheap! If you miss the opportunity, you won't have such a good opportunity again when you go out."

"That's right!" Ye Shi said.

There are many ninth-level magicians in the restricted area. In order to prepare for war, various thunder tribulations explode every day. When Mu Chen was refining ninth-level pills, not many people noticed it at the beginning. However, Mu Chen refined the pills too frequently, and before long, it was hard for everyone not to notice.

"Yanxing, Mu Chen is a mid-level ninth-level alchemist? I heard that he has refined a lot of pills recently." Bai Xiongtao said.

Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yes!"

"Why haven't I heard you say that?" Bai Xiongtao asked.

Ye Shi frowned and said disapprovingly, "Why didn't I tell you that? I told you a long time ago that Muchen knows everything. Muchen knows alchemy, formations, weapon refining, inscriptions, and talismans."

Bai Xiongtao: “…” You only said that he was indecisive, but you didn’t say that he was actually a mid-level ninth-level alchemist!

"I heard that Mu Chen's success rate in refining pills is very high?" Bai Xiongtao said.

Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yes! Mu Chen is the best at controlling soul power. Not only does he have a high success rate in refining pills, but the quality is also good."

"Mu Chen is so awesome!" Bai Xiongtao said.

Ye Shi nodded and said, "That's right." Ye Shi glanced at Bai Xiongtao and said with some disdain, "You only realized how powerful Mu Chen is now."

Bai Xiongtao: “…” Well, it’s true that he is blind.

"Yanxing, can you tell Muchen to give me two pills?" Bai Xiongtao said, rubbing his hands.

Yan Xing rubbed his hands and said, "Okay! Let me finish eating and see if there is anything left."

Bai Xiongtao: “…” You have such a good appetite, by the time you finish eating, there won’t be any residue left.

Before everyone could be shocked by Mu Chen's alchemy skills, Mu Chen started to tinker with talismans again, and a large number of ninth-level talismans were refined.

Mu Chen spent every day refining pills and talismans. Every time he exhausted his soul power and vitality and returned to the spirit tower to recuperate, Mu Chen could feel the growth of his vitality and soul power.

Ye Shi's hands were kneading Muchen's body. For Muchen, Ye Shi had specially learned the art of massage.

"Mu Chen, there's no need to work so hard." As Ye Shi kneaded him, streams of pure energy flowed into Mu Chen's body, and Mu Chen felt that all the muscles in his body relaxed.

Muchen couldn't help but think in his heart: He doesn't want to fight so hard, fighting hard is better than dying!

Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi and said, "It's better to be prepared. Our ancestors have said that this curse eruption is extraordinary. Who knows, many people may die."

Ye Shi lowered his head, sighed softly, and couldn't help feeling a little hesitant.

Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi, a dark light flashing in his eyes, "What's wrong, are you missing Dabao and Xiaobao?"

Ye Shi was stunned for a moment and said, "No more, no more."

"You're still saying no, but it's all written on your face." Mu Chen pulled Ye Shi over and pressed him under him. He smiled and said, "Let's give Dabao and Xiaobao a sister."

Ye Shi bit his lip, thinking: Mu Chen, at this hour, is still too naive. Although he felt suffocated, Ye Shi softened his stance and let Mu Chen take action.

Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi and couldn't wait to tear off Ye Shi's clothes.

Ye Shi's skin was as white as jade, smooth and flexible to the touch, which made Mu Chen unable to let go.

Seeing the infatuation in Muchen's eyes, Ye Shi felt a little happy in his heart. He felt that he still had some charm.

Ye Shi thought to himself: Although many people in Zhongzhou think he looks good, many people in the outside world think he is ugly. He has always been worried that Mu Chen's taste has changed and he will think he is ugly.

"Hmm." Ye Shi groaned and looked at Mu Chen with some anger for rushing around without saying hello.

Mu Chen leaned over to Ye Shi's ear and chuckled, always having random thoughts.

Ye Shi opened his eyes and looked at Muchen. The once handsome boy had become more and more manly, but he was still the same Muchen.

"Where is Mu Chen?" Bai Jixue asked Bai Xiongtao.

"Back to the Spirit Tower. Mu Chen's Spirit Tower is like a tonic pill. Every time he goes in, it won't take long for Mu Chen to come out full of energy." Bai Xiongtao muttered.

Bai Jixue smiled and said, "It's not the Ten-Whole Tonic Pill, but it should be able to delay time."

Bai Xiongtao was stunned for a moment, "Delay time?"

Bai Jixue nodded and said, "Yes!"

For someone like Bai Jixue, whose strength has almost been established, tens of millions of years is just a blink of an eye. However, Mu Chen is still in his rising period, and what he lacks most is time.

"I was wondering, no matter how talented Muchen is, it's impossible for him to rise five stars and become a five-star martial saint within two months! So that's how it is." Bai Xiongtao breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Jixue gave a bitter smile and said, "Even if the Spirit Tower can delay time, Mu Chen is still a genius, much better than you."

Bai Xiongtao nodded and said, "That's right, that's right. How can I compare with Muchen? What about Yanxing? Hasn't he been learning formations from you, my ancestor, recently?"

Bai Jixue smiled bitterly and said, "Mu Chen is busy, so he follows me to learn the formation. When Mu Chen is free, he doesn't bother to pay attention to an old man like me."

Bai Xiongtao raised his eyebrows and muttered strangely, "Yan Xing and Muchen are quite open-minded."

Bai Xiongtao thought to himself: These two people must have gone to have sex. They are almost going crazy with anxiety, but Mu Chen and Yan Xing are just having fun.

Bai Jixue smiled and said with understanding: "After all, they are young! They are full of vigor and vitality. Besides, there is no harm in practicing dual cultivation."

Bai Xiongtao nodded and said, "That's right! It's hard for Muchen, coming to a place like this at such a young age."
