Chapter 198 Preparations for the Return Journey
"Have the things been delivered?" asked Bai Yu, the Martial Emperor who came from the main auction house.
The auction house manager nodded immediately and said apprehensively, "Yes, Young Master Ye said that the price of the items can be deducted from the auction proceeds."
Bai Yu sighed lightly, smiled helplessly, and said, "If it's not something Muchen needs, and it's too much and too precious, why not give it to him?"
"Yes!" The steward nodded in agreement.
The things Muchen wanted were all rare treasures, equivalent to the auction house's income for decades.
"Give him everything at the lowest price you can." Bai Yu instructed.
The steward nodded and said, "I know."
"Looking at Mu Chen's expression, he seems to insist on returning to the Xuanfeng Empire." Bai Yu said with narrowed eyes.
"Yes!" The manager nodded. It was obvious that Muchen was very anxious recently. Everything he was doing now was to prepare for returning to the Xuanfeng Empire.
Bai Yu sighed softly, "He is indeed affectionate and righteous, but..."
No matter how talented Mu Chen is, he is still too young. Although Changmao is strong, he has not reached the emperor level after all. If he returns to the Xuanfeng Empire at this time, it is hard to say whether he can survive. If he dies, it will be a pity.
"Mu Chen must have made up his mind." said the manager.
Bai Yu smiled and said with emotion: "There are so few people who are so talented and so loyal." It's a pity that good people in this world don't live long!
The steward frowned and said, "Senior, there is something that I find very strange."
Bai Yu asked with great interest, "What's the matter?"
"Mu Chen asked for a lot of sixth-level talisman materials, but the Xuanfeng Empire doesn't have a sixth-level talisman master!" said the manager with a frown.
Bai Yu’s eyes suddenly widened, “You mean, Muchen is still…” a sixth-level talisman master.
The steward nodded. "It's possible. Back then, when the Holy Star Academy competed with the Dark Moon Academy, Mu Chen represented Holy Star and participated in the Holy Star Academy's alchemy, talisman, formation, and inscription competition. Back then, his alchemy, talisman, and formation skills all reached level four. Now, it's also possible..."
A king-level master who reached the sixth level in three arts at the same time, although it was somewhat unbelievable, but if it was Muchen, it should still be possible.
Bai Yu sighed softly and said, "I really can't bear to let go of such a talent."
The steward suddenly raised his head and looked at Bai Yu, a look of surprise flashing across his face, "Senior, you don't mean to..."
"Just saying it casually." Bai Yu said with a smile.
Muchen is a sixth-level alchemist. Once, there was a force that wanted to attack a sixth-level alchemist. As a result, other alchemists issued a joint wanted order, and that force was wiped out overnight.
Alchemists have a respected status and their alchemy skills are always coveted by others. Therefore, alchemists have to unite. Once they attack a level six alchemist, it will arouse the anger of all level six alchemists.
…
The auction was in full swing, with dozens of Martial Emperors participating in the auction.
The first Spirit Emperor Pill was auctioned for a sky-high price of 2.5 billion under the crazy bidding of a group of Martial Emperors.
Mo Feng and Ye Shi sat in a private room, looking at the scene outside, smiled and said, "Alchemy is really profitable!"
Although there is a lot of profit in refining equipment, it is still far behind the highly profitable alchemy.
Of course, the level of the alchemist is also very important. The alchemist who had refined three sets of level six pills for me before probably didn't have Mu Chen's ability.
Back then, the alchemist ruined three sets of sixth-level herbs prepared by Mo Feng. Mo Feng didn't say anything at the time, but he still felt a little bit resentful.
Ye Shi made a bitter face and said dejectedly, "Although Mu Chen is very good at making money, it's still not enough!"
The Sky-Swallowing Worm needs to eat, prepare talismans to deal with the beast tide, prepare various elixirs to deal with various emergencies, and purchase a large number of weapons to improve everyone's combat effectiveness. The people of the Xuanfeng Empire are relatively poor, and many cultivators don't even have the right weapons.
Mo Feng smiled helplessly. Mu Chen was indeed very good at spending money.
Mo Yun looked at Ye Shi, whose face was full of heartache, with interest.
Ye Shi suddenly thought of something and turned to Mo Feng and said, "Oh, Senior Mo, the weapon is..."
Mo Feng stroked his beard, smiled, and said, "Don't worry, what I said in the Weapon Refiner Guild is still useful. The weapons that Young Master Ye wants should be delivered tomorrow."
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Thank you so much, Senior Mo, you should tell them to give you the lowest price!"
"Don't worry, it will definitely be the lowest price." Mo Feng said.
"Then I feel relieved. Thank you, Master Mo." Ye Shi let out a breath.
Mo Feng waved his hand and said, "I have received great kindness from Young Master Mu, so it is my duty to do this little thing."
Mo Yun looked at Ye Shi, holding back for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking, "After the auction, will Young Master Ye return to the Xuanfeng Empire?"
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yes!"
Mo Yun smiled bitterly and said, "Many people in the four countries are trying to run out, but Young Master Ye and Young Master Mu are rushing in."
Ye Shi's expression changed. No matter what, he had to go back and help.
"Other people's choices have nothing to do with us. We must go back." Ye Shi said seriously.
Mo Yun smiled and said, "Master Mu and Master Ye's character is truly admirable."
Ye Shi shrugged and said nonchalantly, "It's nothing."
After the first sixth-level Spirit Emperor Pill was sold for 2 billion, although the auction of the fifth-level Spiritual Pill was not as fierce as the sixth-level Spiritual Pill, people still fought for it in full swing.
Mo Yun looked at Ye Shi's expression and frowned slightly.
The second Spirit Emperor Pill was exchanged for two thousand kilograms of high-quality soul water.
"Mo Lin's Company got a great bargain this time. Under normal circumstances, two thousand kilograms of high-quality soul water could not even buy the Spirit Emperor Pill." Mo Feng smiled.
Mo Lin's company has been doing the soul water business for a long time, and the soul water in stock is the largest among all forces. The manager of their company is famous for being very thoughtful. Knowing that Muchen needs soul water, he bought a batch early on.
Ye Shi shrugged, sighed softly, and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. Mu Chen wants it urgently and wants a lot, so this is the only way."
"Actually, it's not a loss. You can use Yuanshi to buy the top-grade soul water. Mo Lin Trading Company has always been reluctant to sell it." Mo Feng smiled.
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yes!"
After the auction of the second Spirit Emperor Pill ended, the auction house did not announce the end of the auction.
"Next, we're going to auction a Level 6 Flame Talisman. This Flame Talisman is quite special. It contains a rich amount of solar essence fire. You might be able to extract the solar essence fire from it and use it for your own benefit."
Mo Feng's eyes suddenly widened, and he said in disbelief, "Spiritual Emperor Pill, isn't that the last item to be auctioned? How could this be? There's another one?"
Ye Shi curled his lips and said nothing. There were too many things to buy, and Mu Chen was worried that he would not have enough Yuanshi to spend, so...
Mo Feng looked at Ye Shi and said, "Young Master Ye, this talisman could be..."
Ye Shi shrugged and said nothing.
Mo Feng looked at Ye Shi in astonishment and said, "Young Master Ye, Young Master Mu, you shouldn't go back to the Xuanfeng Empire." Such a genius, dying in a beast tide, that is...
Ye Shi shook his head and said, "We must go back."
As Mo Feng and Ye Shi were talking, the bidding outside started again, and a group of emperor-level masters were arguing with each other again.
Mo Feng was also somewhat tempted. If he could refine the sun's essence fire, it would be of great benefit to him as a weapon refiner. It was a pity that he was... too poor.
…
Xuanfeng Empire, front line.
"Senior Mu." Feng Ye, the female cultivator in charge of collecting information, found Mu Yuanfeng with some joy.
Mu Yuanfeng holds a very high status among the cultivators in Liucheng. As an alchemist, he could have stayed in the back, but he led the charge and rushed to the front line.
Mu Yuanfeng looked at Feng Ye, who was filled with joy, and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so happy?"
"There's news about Mu Chen and Ye Shi." Feng Ye said.
Mu Yuanfeng's expression suddenly changed. Ever since Mu Chen and Ye Shi left the secret realm more than a year ago, they had been hunted down. There was no news about them from time to time. Although he knew that their abilities were incomparable to ordinary people, Mu Yuanfeng still often worried and couldn't sleep at night. Mu Yuanfeng was not very clear about their current situation.
"How are they doing?" Mu Yuanfeng asked excitedly. "They are both in the Luoyue Empire right now. A grand auction just took place there. Your son, Mu Chen, is already a Level 6 Alchemist," Feng Ye said.
Mu Yuanfeng was stunned for a moment and said, "You said Chen'er is a sixth-level alchemist? You are serious."
"Yes! It's absolutely true. Mu Chen has successively refined two level six pills in the Luoyue Empire, and he is the talk of the town." Feng Ye said excitedly.
Mu Yuanfeng exhaled and said, "Now that Chen'er is a level six alchemist, I believe those emperor-level masters who were chasing Chen'er will stop."
"Senior Mu, there are several emperor-level masters who died at the hands of Young Master Mu and Young Master Ye. For Young Master Mu and Young Master Ye, killing emperor-level masters is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables. Those who are chasing after Young Master Mu and Young Master Ye are not a concern at all." Feng Ye said with a smile.
Mu Yuanfeng glanced at Feng Ye helplessly and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? The two of them were able to kill those emperor-level masters before, but that was with the help of the formation and luck. They are both king-level, how can their true strength compare to that of emperor-level masters!"
Although Mu Yuanfeng said this, there was an uncontrollable pride on his face.
Feng Ye smiled disapprovingly and said, "That's hard to say. Senior Mu, how did you raise your son? You're truly remarkable for raising a son like Mu Chen."
Mu Yuanfeng smiled helplessly, "Chen'er, to be where he is today is all his own good fortune. I dare not take credit for it."
Who could have imagined that six years ago, Muchen was just a dandy kid from Mocheng. At the time, Mu Yuanfeng thought that if Muchen could advance to the rank of Martial Master, his ancestors would be truly blessed. Who could have imagined that Muchen would turn over a new leaf and, in just a few short years, become a prominent figure in the Xuanfeng Empire?
Looking back on yesterday, it seemed like a dream.
"The news that came back said that Mu Chen and Ye Shi have already left the Luoyue Empire. Judging from their route, they should be heading to the Cangqiong Empire."
Mu Yuanfeng frowned and said, "Are they going back to the Xuanfeng Empire?"
"I think so. I heard that Mu Chen bought a large number of level three, level four, and level five weapons in Luoyue, and also purchased a large number of spiritual herbs to refine pills. He should be preparing to come back." Feng Ye said.
Mu Yuanfeng was silent for a while, gritted his teeth, and said, "Chen'er, he will come back after all."
Joy, worry, longing, confusion, all kinds of emotions surged into his heart. Mu Yuanfeng was silent for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh.
