Chapter 84: Getting Rich Overnight

Ye Shi exchanged five bottles of elixir for four million yuan worth of stones from Xin Ruge.

Xin Ruge looked at Ye Shi and asked curiously, "Junior brother, you have so much money now, what are you going to do with it?"

Xin Ruge frowned. Last time, Ye Shi received over 1.8 million Yuan, but he had spent most of it within two days. Now, Ye Shi's Yuanshi card should have over 5 million Yuanshi. With so many Yuanshi, there was no telling how long Ye Shi could use them...

Ye Shi held the Yuanshi card and said dejectedly, "I don't know if these are enough."

Xin Ruge looked at Ye Shi in confusion and said, "It's not enough. What do you want to do? So many Yuanshi are not enough."

Ye Shi shook his head and said, "It's not enough anyway."

Ye Shi frowned. There had been problems within the Mu family. Mu Yuanhang had deliberately leaked the news about the Soul-Breaking Pill, forcing Mu Yuanfeng to auction off the Soul-Breaking Pill. This was a concern for Mu Chen. Mu Chen's plan was to buy a Soul-Breaking Pill in the imperial capital and then ask someone to send it back to Mu Yuanfeng.

Mu Yuanfeng was very kind to Ye Shi. It was Mu Yuanfeng who bought Ye Shi's admission letter. Without Mu Yuanfeng, Ye Shi might not have been able to enter the Holy Star Academy. Of course, Ye Shi could not object to Mu Chen's idea, not to mention that all the Yuanshi were earned by Mu Chen.

What Mu Chen wanted to buy was the top-grade Soul-Breaking Pill. Mu Yuanfeng's low-grade Soul-Breaking Pill was auctioned for over two million. Although such pills were not as scarce in the imperial capital as in small cities and were cheaper than in small towns, the price of a top-grade Soul-Breaking Pill was at least twice as expensive as a low-grade one, and it would cost at least two or three million.

What Mu Chen wanted was not only the Soul-Breaking Pill, he also wanted to bring some spiritual objects from heaven and earth that could enhance Mu Yuanfeng's strength. Those things were also not cheap, and if he asked someone to take them back, he would inevitably have to pay a shipping fee. So many gold coins, Ye Shi felt dizzy just thinking about it.

Ye Shi looked at the Yuanshi card in his hand, sighed softly, and muttered: "Not enough to spend!"

Xin Ruge rolled her eyes and said, "How can you spend so much money?"

Ye Shi looked at Xin Ruge, shook his head, and said, "You don't understand. The expenses are too high."

Xin Ruge: “…”

Ye Shi didn't know that there was a reason why Mu Chen was so eager to buy the Po Lingdan to help Mu Yuanfeng improve his strength.

According to the route in the original book, it won't be long before Lu Yao comes to find the Hundred Exercises Body Technique.

In the original novel, Lu Yao knew that Muchen had the Hundred Refinements Body Art because Muchen had told Zhuang Yu, who in turn told Lu Yao. Although he couldn't possibly tell Zhuang Yu about the Hundred Refinements Body Art now, Muchen couldn't guarantee that Lu Yao wouldn't find out about Mu Yuanfeng.

In the original book, Muchen died at the hands of Lu Yao, and Mu Yuanfeng also died at the hands of Lu Yao's protector in order to save Muchen.

Mu Chen felt that even if Mu Yuanfeng didn't find Lu Yao, Lu Yao might still kill Mu Yuanfeng to silence him.

After all, Mu Yuanfeng is the biological father of this body. Since he traveled through time, Mu Yuanfeng has always been nice to Mu Chen. Naturally, Mu Chen does not want anything to happen to Mu Yuanfeng.

"Fortunately, the pill formula can still be sold for a lot of money." Ye Shi said with a smile.

Xin Ruge frowned, looked at Ye Shi, and said, "Shitou, I'm afraid that pill formula won't be able to sell for many Yuanshi."

"Why?" Ye Shi frowned.

Xin Ruge sighed and said, "Shitou, one should be content with what one has. In fact, Miss Lian has been very kind. In short, don't hold out too much hope for that pill formula."

No matter how precious the second-level pill is, it is just a second-level pill recipe. Originally, there was no need for Lian Mengxuan to spend so many gold coins to buy twenty second-level pills. She only needed to buy two pills and then give them to the senior alchemist in the academy for analysis, and she could get the required pill recipe. She spent so many gold coins, and she had already implicitly bought the pill recipe.

Ye Shi still looked at Xin Ruge in confusion. Xin Ruge sighed softly and said to Ye Shi earnestly, "You'll understand later."

Ye Shi curled his lips and thought: Understand, what do you understand? He didn't understand at all.

…………

"Have you heard? It seems that Senior Sister Lian really got the Beast Spirit Pill."

"I heard that the Beast Spirit Pill was refined by one of our newbies."

"I heard about it, too. I originally thought that person was Lan Ruofeng. After all, everyone said that he was the most outstanding freshman in the Alchemy Academy, far surpassing us ordinary freshmen. But I heard that it wasn't him."

"Maybe you won't believe it, but I got solid news from that fat guy Fu Yuanbao. That person doesn't seem to be a freshman in our Alchemy Academy, but from the Fu Academy."

"From the Talisman Academy? How is that possible? How can a talisman maker refine a beast spirit pill?"

"The person who sold the Beast Spirit Pill to Senior Sister Lian was Ye Shi, a disciple of Elder Jing Chiyan. Everyone knows that Ye Shi can't make pills, but his fiancé Muchen is a second-level alchemist. Muchen is from the Fu Academy. I heard that Senior Sister Lian bought twenty pills from Ye Shi at the price of 200,000 yuan each."

"Twenty pills, two hundred thousand each, that's four million! Ye Shi is going to be rich now." A freshman couldn't help but say.

Every freshman who is not rich has a dream of getting rich overnight, and Ye Shi naturally becomes a role model in everyone's mind.

…………

Lan Ruofeng walked among the crowd with a very gloomy expression. During this period, the matter of the Beast Spirit Pill had been a hot topic, and Muchen had also begun to attract the attention of the top management of the Alchemy Institute.

The fact that Landa had tampered with Muchen's entrance test was finally exposed. Although the Dean of the Alchemy Academy did not say much, he still had some resentment towards Landa. This incident became a stain on Landa. Although Landa did not say anything, Lan Ruofeng knew that his uncle was probably a little more distant from him.

The matter of the Beast Spirit Pill was a hot topic and naturally reached Zhuang Yu's ears.

Ever since she entered the academy, Zhuang Yu had been compared to Ye Shi, both overtly and covertly. In the eyes of others, Zhuang Yu was outstanding in appearance, while Ye Shi was ordinary; Zhuang Yu was modest, while Ye Shi was violent; Zhuang Yu was noble and elegant, while Ye Shi was rude and barbaric...

Zhuang Yu is better than Ye Shi in every aspect, but there is one thing that Zhuang Yu cannot compare to Ye Shi: Ye Shi has a fiancé who is obedient to him and is good at making money.

The more outstanding Muchen is, the more unwilling Zhuang Yu becomes and the more jealous she becomes of Ye Shi.

In the book, Zhuang Yu is innocent, kind, and otherworldly, so he would not be jealous. After all, he can get everything he wants. Now that Mu Chen has happened, Zhuang Yu finally becomes jealous.

…………

Muchen's days were packed with practice, alchemy, talisman making, and thinking...

Holy Star Academy has one day off every seven days. During this day, the students can walk out of the campus and look outside.

On the day off, Ye Shi left the school early with Muchen.

Less than half a month after entering the academy, Ye Shi's strength has been consolidated at the level of a two-star martial artist under the guidance of Jing Chiyan. However, Mu Chen has not yet made a breakthrough due to his lack of aptitude and being somewhat distracted by alchemy and talisman refining.

However, Mu Chen has taken advantage of this time to clear up most of the blocked blood channels in his body, and his cultivation speed has increased several times. After a while, the shortcomings in his aptitude will be made up.

"Mu Chen, the Soul-Breaking Pill is cheaper when you buy it at the academy." Ye Shi said to Mu Chen.

Mu Chen nodded and said, "I know, but the Poling Pills in the academy are required to be used by students themselves. If you buy them for family members, the academy's top management will have objections."

Mu Chen paused and continued, "I know that the academy will turn a blind eye if you use your master's connections, but it's better not to bother your master if you can. Besides, the Alchemist Guild in the Imperial Capital is reputable, and they'll even be responsible for delivery."

Ye Shi smiled dryly and said, "They are responsible for delivering the goods, but I heard they charge a 10% commission."

Mu Chen smiled indifferently and said, "It's a bit expensive, but it's safe!" To be honest, if the Alchemist Guild's commission was too low, he wouldn't dare ask them to give it to him.

Ye Shi nodded and said, "Okay, you make sense."

The Po Ling Dan from the Alchemist Guild was worth three million. Because Muchen was a second-level alchemist, he could get a discount, which he finally got 20% off, making it two million four hundred thousand. In addition to the Po Ling Dan, Muchen spent more than one million to buy a lot of spiritual herbs and spiritual objects that would help martial artists in their practice from the Alchemist Guild. Finally, with the delivery commission of four hundred thousand, he spent a total of nearly four million Yuan Shi.

Ye Shi looked at the missing amount on the Yuanshi card, and his heart twitched. However, after seeing it so many times, Ye Shi gradually became numb.

Seeing Ye Shi's expression, Mu Chen comforted him, "Don't worry, those who know how to spend can earn money. We can make a fortune by selling the pill formula."

Ye Shi frowned and said dejectedly, "Senior Sister Xin said that the pill formula won't sell for much."

Mu Chen smiled faintly and said disapprovingly, "Whether the pill formula can be sold depends on whether the people in the academy have the ability to do so. Don't worry, forty spirit beast pills won't last long, and to subdue the blood dragon, a large amount of spirit beast pills must be supported. It's impossible for those people in the academy to research the pill formula before Lian Mengxuan runs out of food, so just wait and get paid."

For general low-level pill recipes, many senior alchemists can imitate them by simply breaking down the ingredients. However, this beast spirit pill is different. The important thing about this pill is not the spiritual herbs used in refining the pill, but the things outside of refining the pill.

"Okay." Ye Shi nodded. In fact, Ye Shi didn't quite understand what Mu Chen said, but he did understand what Mu Chen meant by waiting to get paid.

"Even if the recipe can't be sold, I will still find other ways to make money." Mu Chen said lightly.

Ye Shi nodded and said, "I know."

Among all the junior students in the academy, Muchen is definitely the one who makes the most money. There are a few students who are richer than Muchen, but they are all from big families and have strong connections.

"Talisman Master Association." The two were strolling on the street when a magnificent overlooking association came into their sight.

Ye Shi glanced at Mu Chen and said, "Are you already a Talisman Master? Go get certified."

Mu Chen nodded and said, "Okay."

The Talisman Academy often uses Talisman Master Badges. Muchen doesn't even have a first-level Talisman Master Badge. To take on most of the tasks at the Talisman Academy, he needs a badge from the Talisman Master Association, which is very inconvenient.
