Chapter 65 Treasure Hunt

Ye Shi's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but be stunned. "President?" In this world, anyone with a leader is not an ordinary person. But why would such an extraordinary person come to them?

Muchen said somewhat stiffly, "How dare I trouble you, Lord President?"

Fu Zuquan said nonchalantly, "It is my honor to serve you, Master Mu."

"President, you are too embarrassed to show off your kindness to Mu Chen." Mu Chen Like said in fear and trepidation.

"Mr. Mu Chen, you can think of using Minglanhua and Danshaohua instead of Xuelinghua to reduce costs. It is indeed a genius idea. Minglanhua and Danshaohua are incompatible with each other. Most people would not think of using them together, but Mr. Mu took advantage of their incompatible characteristics. It is amazing..." Fu Zuquan said with admiration.

Mu Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "President, you're too kind. I just wrote it casually. I don't know if it will work or not."

As soon as Fu Zuquan appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of many people in the hall. Mu Chen found that the doubtful and inquiring eyes fell on him. The experience of being admired by everyone like a monkey in a zoo made Mu Chen feel a little embarrassed.

"Who is that guy! He actually alarmed the president." Zi Fei couldn't help but frowned.

"He is the expert at solving problems yesterday!" Dong Ling said silently in her heart.

"Who is that Muchen? The president actually met with him in person." Li Ping couldn't help but say.

Zhou Xuan shook his head and said, "I don't know. He's not from here. However, he's a second-level alchemist at such a young age. He should have some background."

Cang Yu narrowed his eyes, with a hint of jealousy flashing in his eyes. He had asked to see Fu Zu several times but was rejected every time. However, this man actually valued Muchen so much. What kind of ability did Muchen's family have?

…

Fu Zuquan looked at Mu Chen and said, "Mr. Mu, I heard that you are collecting the recipes for first and second level pills?"

Mu Chen nodded and said, "Yes."

Fu Zuquan put his hands behind his back and said, "Our guild has many interesting recipes. Young Master Mu should be interested."

Mu Chen nodded and said, "Thank you for your help, Senior."

"Mr. Mu, are you willing to become a guest of our guild?" Fu Zuquan asked.

Mu Chen frowned and said embarrassedly: "Senior, I will be leaving this city soon."

"Are you going to Holy Star Academy?" Fu Zuquan asked.

Mu Chen nodded and said, "Exactly. How did you know that, Senior?"

"Young talents always like to go to Holy Star Academy. Now is the enrollment season for Holy Star Academy. I think Young Master Mu will probably go there too." Fu Zuquan said with a faint smile.

"Senior, you are as wise as a god." Mu Chen said with compliments.

"Our low-level alchemist guild is spread all over the country. Our headquarters happens to be in the imperial capital where the Holy Star Academy is located. Even if you leave this city, you can still become a guest of our guild." Fu Zuquan said.

Ye Shi blinked and asked curiously, "What does it take to become a guest official?"

"It's not that difficult. I just come to the guild regularly to participate in some activities and do some exercises like yesterday." Fu Zuquan said.

Ye Shi tilted his head and said with a lack of interest, "Is that so?"

Fu Zuquan looked at Ye Shi and said, "Become a guest of our guild and you'll get discounts when you buy things here. If you, Mr. Mu, want to collect any materials in the future, you can also come to our guild. We will do our best to meet your needs."

Ye Shi leaned close to Mu Chen's ear and said, "Not bad, you can get a discount."

Mu Chen lowered his head and smiled secretly. It was true, but there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If he became a guest of this guild, to a certain extent, he would be labeled as a member of this guild. In the future, if the low-level alchemist guild had any problems and asked him for help, it would be difficult for him to refuse. However, now that the guild president had spoken, he could not refuse.

Mu Chen smiled and said, "Since Senior said so, Mu Chen is naturally willing. I'm just afraid that Senior will look down on my lack of talent and knowledge."

Fu Zuquan said disapprovingly, "Mr. Mu, you can tell at first glance that he's a brilliant man. His future is definitely limitless."

"Thank you for the compliment, senior." Mu Chen said awkwardly.

Muchen spent more than 30,000 yuan stones to buy more than 60 first-level pill recipes and more than 20 second-level pill recipes from the low-level alchemist guild, and then left.

When Ye Shi walked out the door, his face looked a little distraught.

"What's wrong?" Mu Chen asked.

Ye Shi shook his head and said, "Nothing, it's just that money is earned quickly and spent quickly. Otherwise, you can do some more questions to earn some extra money."

Mu Chen shook his head and said, "No need. Let's talk about it when we get to the capital." Looking at the crowded crowd in the guild, it was obvious that he had caused quite a stir yesterday. It would be too conspicuous to do the questions at this time.

Ye Shi nodded and said, "Okay, what are you looking at?"

"This is the recipe for the Beast Spirit Pill." Mu Chen said.

Ye Shi rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "Why are you buying everything? The guild leader said that the herb in this Beast Spirit Pill has long been extinct, so the recipe is useless."

Mu Chen said disapprovingly, "We can find a way to replace the recipe. It's said that the Beast Spirit Pill can help tame monsters. If it can be researched, it will definitely be in short supply."

Ye Shi curled his lips and said, "It will only be useful if we can research it! Didn't you hear what the guild leader said? Biting off more than you can chew. Many low-level alchemists waste too much time on unconventional recipes, delaying their own development."

Mu Chen put away the recipe and said, "Okay, I won't read it anymore. Let's get ready and go find that thing."

A glint flashed in Ye Shi's eyes, and he said in delight, "Okay!"

According to the map, Qingmingyan is in Mingling Mountain. Mingling Mountain is neither big nor small. There are many first- and second-level monsters in the mountain. Many adventurers will sneak in to hunt monsters.

In the forest, an arrow pierced straight through the neck of an antelope. Ye Shi hurriedly said to the people around him, "Alright, alright, I've already killed the antelope. Don't waste any more talismans."

Before entering the mountain, just in case, Mu Chen spent ten thousand stones to buy a bunch of first-, second-, and third-level talismans.

Whenever he encountered trouble on the road, Mu Chen would quickly and efficiently use a talisman to deal with it. After a few times, Mu Chen didn't think it was a big deal, but Ye Shi felt very uncomfortable. Whenever he encountered a problem, he would rush forward to solve it first.

Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi and said, "Shi Tou, you don't need to fight so hard."

Ye Shi smiled disapprovingly and said seriously, "We should always save money if we can."

Mu Chen nodded and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

When Ye Shi heard Mu Chen's words, he immediately laughed.

"Should this be the place? Why isn't it here? Is the map fake?" Ye Shi said a little uneasily. It was so hard for him to help Muchen once. If the map was fake, then... what else could he do for Muchen?

Mu Chen patted Ye Shi's shoulder and said, "Don't worry. If this thing was so easy to find, it wouldn't be so precious. It's okay if you can't find it. My father searched for this thing for several years but to no avail. We don't need to rush."

When Ye Shi heard Mu Chen's words, he immediately calmed down a bit.

"It seems to be in that direction." Ye Shi, who had calmed down, pointed to the east and said, "But there is no road there."

"How do you know that direction?" Mu Chen asked with a frown.

"Intuition." Ye Shi said.

Mu Chen narrowed his eyes, hesitating for a moment. Ye Shi said it was intuition. Was it guided by the original book, or was there another reason?

"There should be an illusion array in that place, so there should be a way out." Mu Chen thought.

Ye Shi turned around and asked curiously, "How did you know?"

"I have studied formations, but only a little bit." Mu Chen explained calmly.

Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen with admiration and said, "You are amazing. You know everything."

Mu Chen smiled and said, "It's nothing."

"Can you break the formation?" Ye Shi asked.

Mu Chen shook his head and said, "No, but I know how to get in."

Ye Shi blinked curiously and asked, "What should we do?"

"Just close your eyes. If you close your eyes, you won't see the illusion and naturally won't be affected by it. This is the simplest method." Mu Chen said.

Ye Shi nodded and said, "So that's how it is!"

Following the route in the original book, Ye Shi didn't find the way, so he forced his way in, causing quite a noise. Although he found the way, he also attracted a lot of flies, and Ye Shi took a lot of effort to escape.

Mu Chen and Ye Shi closed their eyes and indeed penetrated the rocks and entered a cave.

Ye Shi said in amazement, "It really is a different world."

Mu Chen and Ye Shi walked to a stone door, and Mu Chen's face suddenly changed. He originally thought that this spiritual fire was born and raised naturally, but looking at the situation, it seemed to have an owner. Why was it here?

Ye Shi knocked on the stone door and said, "It seems that this stone door is not easy to move."

"There are words here! The things in the door are left for my descendants. Anyone who dares to take them lightly will seek death." Ye Shi murmured the words on the stone tablet.

Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi and said, "Where did you get this map? Could your mother be related to the owner of the flame?"

Ye Shi shook his head and said, "I don't know. Mother didn't tell me."

"There is a palm print here, try pressing it." Mu Chen said to Ye Shi.

Ye Shi nodded and pressed his palm into the groove. Ye Shi groaned and the stone door opened.

Ye Shi held his palm and found a small wound on the center of his palm.

Seeing this, Mu Chen thought to himself: Ye Shi seems to have a close relationship with the tomb owner! If so, could there be something else behind Ye Shi's identity?
