Chapter 57 Ye Shi's Background

"Ruofeng, did you meet a man named Ye Shi when you went to Mocheng this time?" Zheng Min looked at Lan Ruofeng and asked seriously.

Lan Ruofeng frowned, looked at Zheng Min with some confusion, and said, "I have seen him, mother. Why are you asking about him?"

"Our empire once had an emperor-level master named Qu Kun. He disappeared twenty years ago. Some said he went to other countries, while others said he was dead. Qu Kun made countless enemies during his lifetime, and many people thought he was alone and unattached. But in fact, he should have a twin son, Qu Xinyang." Zheng Min said meaningfully.

"Is Qu Xinyang related to Ye Shi?" Lan Ruofeng asked sharply.

Zheng Min nodded and said, "That's right, Ye Shi is Qu Xinyang's son. If you have the chance, you should get along well with Ye Shi."

"Why?" Lan Ruofeng asked.

"Because Qu Kun is very likely to be alive. If he is alive and appears again in the future, Ye Shi, as his only blood relative, will naturally be valued by him. If you get close to Ye Shi, then any benefit you can get from Qu Kun will be of great benefit to you." Zheng Min tapped the table lightly with her fingers and said in a coaxing manner.

Lan Ruofeng frowned, as if thinking about something.

"You have seen Ye Shi. I heard that he is not good-looking. Is that true?" Zheng Min asked.

Lan Ruofeng nodded and said, "Yes."

Zheng Min said calmly, "I originally wanted you to pursue Ye Shi, but now that you have Zhuang Yu, let's put Ye Shi aside. After all, it's hard to say whether Qu Kun is still alive. However, if you meet Ye Shi, it will always do you good to make friends with him.

Lan Ruofeng nodded and said, "I understand, mother."

…………

Mocheng, Mu family.

"From here to here." Ye Shi looked at the map, holding his chin and said, "If everything goes smoothly, it will take about two months. The entrance exam for Holy Star Academy will be in three months."

Mu Chen took out the map that Ye Shi had shown him before and said, "We need to set off early. I have studied the map you gave me before. We will pass by the location of Qingming Flame on our way to Holy Star Academy. I think if it is convenient, we should go find Qingming Flame first." In the original novel, Qingming Flame was snatched away by Lan Ruofeng. Thinking of this, Mu Chen always felt a little uneasy.

Ye Shi nodded and said, "Okay."

On a dark and windy night, Mu Chen and Ye Shi were secretly sent out by Mu Yuanfeng.

Mu Yuanhang didn't find out that Mu Chen and Ye Shi had left until five days later. Before that, he had always thought that Mu Chen and Ye Shi were in seclusion.

Ye Shi sat in the carriage, shaking his legs excitedly. "It's great! This is my first time traveling far away."

Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi and asked in confusion, "Isn't it considered a long journey for your Ye family to come to Mo City?"

"That's different. Uncle Chen and I are very short of money. We don't even dare to stay in a hotel, and they don't dare let me eat too much, let alone have fun." Ye Shi said a little frustrated.

Mu Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, come out with me. If nothing else, I will definitely not let you go hungry."

Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen, tilted his head, and said, "Have you been promoted to a second-level alchemist?"

Mu Chen nodded and said, "Yes!" Before leaving, Mu Yuanfeng taught Mu Chen all the methods of refining the seven second-level elixirs that he knew. Mu Chen was very talented and was able to learn them quickly, which shocked Mu Yuanfeng again.

Mu Yuanfeng originally wanted to have Mu Chen obtain the second-level alchemist certification in Mo City, but when he thought about the fact that Mu Chen had just obtained the first-level alchemist certification in Mo City not long ago, and obtaining the second-level alchemist certification would be ostentatious, he gave up the idea.

"Hurry up and get certified! A second-level alchemist can get a lot more pills a month." Ye Shi said with envy.

"I'll get certified when we get to the next town," Mu Chen said.

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

Being an alchemist makes everything much easier. For example, every time they pass through a city, they have to pass a checkpoint. The checkpoint is extremely strict, but when Muchen takes out the first-level alchemist badge, passing the checkpoint immediately becomes a lot easier.

However, the city they have been to recently has become larger and larger, and the first-level alchemist badge is no longer sufficient.
