Chapter 229 Separated
"Godfather, the Formation Tower has just teleported a seventh-level formation master. He is only eighteen years old, but he is already a two-star Martial Emperor. Godfather, do you think we should recruit him?" Bai Jinle asked.
Bai Chenxing tilted his head, a faint smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, and said in surprise: "After so many years, another level 7 formation master from the outside world has been teleported here."
Bai Jinle nodded and said, "Yes! Leaving such a talent to the Formation Tower would be a waste of talent."
"It's up to you. What's that man's name?" Bai Chenxing said lightly.
"His name is Ye Shi." Bai Jinle said happily.
A complex look flashed across Bai Chenxing's eyes as he asked, "Surname Ye?"
"Yes! Godfather, is there any problem?" Bai Jinle asked.
Bai Chenxing shook his head and said, "No, no."
Bai Jinle frowned. Back then, Bai Chenxing's skills regressed and he disappeared once. After returning, he became strange. Just now, when he mentioned Ye Shi's surname Ye, Bai Chenxing's eyes clearly flashed with deep pain and hatred.
"Uncle." Bai Yi walked in and called out.
Bai Chenxing glanced at Bai Yi calmly and praised him, "Not bad! The last time I saw you, you were still a four-star Martial Emperor, and now you're already a five-star."
Bai Yi smiled modestly and said, "My humble skills are nothing compared to yours, little uncle."
"Although you are strong, don't underestimate the heroes of the world. I heard that a young man came from the outside world. He is only eighteen years old, but he is already a two-star Martial Emperor. Compared with you, he is not bad. He grew up in the outside world." Bai Chenxing said lightly.
"Uncle, you don't know that the boy's strength was boosted by elixirs. Although he is stronger now, his room for improvement in the future is limited." Bai Yi said with disapproval.
"How do you know this?" Bai Chenxing asked in confusion.
"Ye Shi and Zhuang Yu come from the same place. Zhuang Yu knows everything about Ye Shi." Bai Yi said.
Bai Chenxing leaned back in his chair, playing with the ring on his hand, and said, "Really? We're just discussing recruiting Ye Shi. Do you have any suggestions?"
Bai Yi was stunned for a moment, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.
Bai Yi said righteously, "Uncle, I don't think Ye Shi is a suitable candidate to recruit. He's two-faced, heartless, likes to steal someone's love, and likes to repay kindness with enmity. Recruiting such a person is like recruiting a vicious wolf!"
"Two-faced, heartless, likes to steal people's love, and likes to repay kindness with enmity. Are these what Zhuang Yu said?" Bai Chenxing asked with interest, tapping the table lightly.
Bai Yi nodded hesitantly, "Yes."
Bai Chenxing smiled. Zhuang Yu was like a ball of cotton, very tolerant of everyone. However, this Ye Shi...
"Zhuang Yu rarely dislikes someone so much. It seems that Ye Shi is really not suitable for recruitment." Bai Chenxing said thoughtfully.
Bai Jinle gritted his teeth and didn't say anything more in the end.
Bai Yi nodded and said, "I think we should be cautious in recruiting this person. It would be bad to let a wolf into the house."
"Forget it, give that old fellow He Xian some face and let this go. He keeps trying to steal people's talents. I'm afraid that old man will be cornered and do something desperate." Bai Chenxing said.
Bai Jinle followed Bai Yi out.
"Brother Yi." Bai Jinle called out to Bai Yi's back with some disappointment.
Bai Yi turned around to look at Bai Jinle and said, "Is there something wrong?"
"You just listen to Zhuang Yu. You do whatever he says?" Bai Jinle said with a frown.
Bai Yi said disapprovingly, "That's not true. I'm just stating the facts. Ye Shi has bad behavior and is not suitable for recruitment."
"Really?" Bai Jinle looked at Bai Yi's departing back with a sense of loss.
Lingta Island.
Mu Chen stood on the seventh floor of the Dan Tower with a gloomy face. It took him twenty days to reach the seventh floor of the Dan Tower, but he found that the high-quality Yuan stones stored in the Dan Tower had long been used up, and the teleportation array could not be activated at all.
Mu Chen gritted his teeth tightly. The tower spirit in the Dan Tower looked at Mu Chen's gloomy face and wisely hid aside, stammering in silence.
"What does it mean that the high-quality Yuan Stones are gone?" Mu Chen asked sinisterly.
Ta Ling said a little embarrassedly: "No more, I just used it up."
Mu Chen looked at Ta Ling fiercely. Ta Ling felt a little embarrassed and said, "It's all used up. It's useless to glare at me!"
"The other three towers don't have high-quality Yuanshi either, right?" Mu Chen asked.
The Danta Tower Spirit shook its body and said apologetically, "I have no contact with the tower spirits of the other three towers, so I don't know anything about it."
Mu Chen sighed somewhat dejectedly, feeling helpless. It had been twenty days, and he had no idea what had happened to Ye Shi.
In addition to formation magic, what he is best at is alchemy. If he wants to reach the seventh floor of the other three towers, it will probably take more time. I wonder if Ye Shi will encounter any difficulties there.
Mu Chen gritted his teeth and said to the tower spirit weakly, "Send me away."
Tower Spirit looked at Muchen, who was surrounded by dark clouds, and couldn't wait to teleport Muchen away.
Zhongzhou Formation Tower.
Ye Shi flipped through the book in his hand, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
During this period, Ye Shi obtained a lot of cultivation books. Books that were considered priceless treasures in the outside world were common goods in Central Continent.
There are many cultivation methods in Zhongzhou that Ye Shi has never seen or heard of, but they are well-known to everyone in Zhongzhou. During this period of time, Ye Shi has been adapting to the cultivation environment in Zhongzhou, and his realm has progressed rapidly.
"Ye Shi, are you used to staying in the formation tower?" He Jingyue walked in and asked.
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Very good, is there any news about Mu Chen?"
He Jingyue shook her head and said, "No."
Ye Shi's eyes dimmed instantly, and there was a dead look of despair on his face.
Ye Shi gritted his teeth and insisted, "He will definitely come."
He Jingyue looked at Ye Shi's face, which had returned to normal, nodded, and said, "Yes! He will definitely come."
When Ye Shi came, he was a two-star Martial Emperor. In just over twenty days, he has become a three-star Martial Emperor. This speed of cultivation is truly jaw-dropping.
This is no wonder. Ye Shi was able to cultivate to the level of Martial Emperor at this age in the outer realm where the vital energy is scarce, let alone in a place like Central Continent where the vital energy is rich.
I heard from Zhuang Yu that Ye Shi’s father is over 40 years old and is just a martial artist. Ye Shi’s mother and father were not good at cultivation and passed away early. How could such parents give birth to Ye Shi, who has such a heaven-defying bloodline!
"He wants to take the mission?" asked He Xian.
He Jingyue nodded and said, "Yes! He is anxious to earn Yuanshi. He said he wants to take a safe job with a high return."
"Is he really short of Yuanshi?" He Xian asked in confusion. He didn't seem to be treating Ye Shi badly!
He Jingyue shrugged and said, "He wants to go back to the outer realm to bring Mu Chen back. To go back and forth, he has to bring someone with him, which requires..." A sky-high price of Yuanshi!
He Xian frowned, "It's not easy to earn so much gemstone!"
He Jingyue nodded and said, "Yes! He seems very anxious."
"It seems that Ye Shi's hallucination is more serious than we thought!" He Xian said worriedly.
He Jingyue frowned and said, "Maybe there really is such a person as Mu Chen."
He Xian looked at He Jingyue and said helplessly: "Jingyue, you haven't been infected by Ye Shi, have you?"
"But, there really is such a person as Mu Chen, and Zhuang Yu also knows him. It seems that Ye Shi and Zhuang Yu are rivals in love, and Mu Chen is the object of their competition." He Jingyue said.
"Even if there really is such a person, he would have been just like everyone else now. He has learned so many skills to attract attention, but I don't think he has mastered any of them." He Xian said disapprovingly.
He Jingyue nodded and said, "That's right."
A genius like Bai Yi only studied one formation technique and two magic techniques. In the early stages, he performed well in all of them. However, when he reached the fourth and fifth levels of magic techniques, he usually lost sight of one thing while focusing on another and achieved nothing. What's more, according to Ye Shi, Mu Chen had studied all five techniques.
"Speaking of which, it's really a bit strange. The Bai family likes to poach people from our Formation Master Guild the most, but this time, there is no movement." He Xian said somewhat strangely.
He Jingyue sighed softly and said, "I think I know the reason."
He Jingyue's alchemy skills are good. Although the Bai family is not on good terms with the Formation Tower, it does not prevent them from having a private relationship with the people in the Formation Tower. He Jingyue has a good friend who is a member of the Bai family's branch clan.
"Do you know the reason?" He Xian asked.
"It is said that Bai Jinle originally wanted to recruit Ye Shi, but Zhuang Yu said that Ye Shi was two-faced, heartless, liked to steal lovers, and liked to repay kindness with enmity. Recruiting such a person would be like inviting a wolf into the house. Bai Yi supported Zhuang Yu and opposed recruiting Ye Shi, so the matter was left unresolved." He Jingyue said.
"Two-faced, heartless, likes to steal people's love, and repays kindness with enmity. It seems that Zhuang Yu has a lot of resentment towards Ye Shi!" He Xian raised his eyebrows.
He Jingyue nodded and said, "Yes!"
"That's good." He Xian narrowed his eyes. From his observation of Ye Shi, Ye Shi didn't seem to be a wicked person. Since the Bai family gave up, it was just right.
"Since he wants to take the task, then you should try your best to help him take it." He Xian said.
He Jingyue nodded and said, "Okay."
He Jingyue sighed lightly. There was only one level eight formation master and three level seven formation masters in the formation tower, which was not enough. Now with Ye Shi, there was more manpower.
Ye Shi saw He Jingyue, stood up, and asked, "Do you have a mission?"
Ye Shi frowned. He had inquired and found out that all the Yuanshi he brought were low-grade Yuanshi.
Zhongzhou has higher quality medium-grade and high-grade Yuanshi. One medium-grade Yuanshi is equivalent to ten thousand low-grade Yuanshi, and one high-grade Yuanshi is equivalent to one hundred million low-grade Yuanshi.
If he wanted to go back and bring Muchen back, he would need at least one hundred high-grade Yuanshi, which is one hundred billion. The low-grade Yuanshi he needed would cost tens of billions. Such a large number of Yuanshi was not something he could earn in the short term. However, if he persisted, it would be enough.
He Jingyue nodded and said, "I got it. It's a secret realm mission. There's a level seven restriction outside the secret realm. Several martial masters came here to ask for help. If you can break the restriction, you'll be rewarded with 800,000 mid-grade Yuanshi. It's not dangerous."
Ye Shi narrowed his eyes. The concentration of Yuan Qi in Zhongzhou and the outside world was very different. The medium-grade Yuan Stone that was rarely seen in the outside world was not uncommon here.
"Is there no danger?" Ye Shi asked.
He Jingyue shrugged and said, "If we can break the restriction, we can leave. If we can't, the deal will be ruined at best."
Ye Shi nodded and said, "That's good!"
"Shi Tou, are you afraid of death?" He Jingyue asked.
Ye Shi nodded and said, "I'm scared! If I die, I will never see Mu Chen again. And in my next life, I don't know if I can meet him again."
He Jingyue: "..." (To be continued, Liancheng Reading has more exciting content, reading to pursue dreams, writing to create the future!)
