Chapter 271 Star-Moon Fruit Tree
Many spectators around left with serious expressions when they saw the battle was over.
"Mr. Chen, Jingyue would like to thank you for saving my life earlier." He Jingyue walked up to Mu Chen and said respectfully.
Previously, Muchen was still dealing with the beast tide with great interest. When he saw the battle from afar, he immediately became furious and rushed over like a madman. He Jingyue didn't understand why Muchen was so furious, but when she saw Ye Shi, He Jingyue finally understood.
Mu Chen must really like Ye Shi, and he would risk his life for his beloved.
"It's just a small favor. I'm in the Formation Tower and have been well taken care of by Senior He. It's my duty to do what I can." Mu Chen said with a smile.
He Jingyue couldn't help but change her expression. She had seen Muchen's expression change, and had seen Muchen's cruel and ruthless side. Now Muchen had returned to his virtuous and humble appearance. He Jingyue felt a chill in her heart.
Ye Shi blinked and said, "Miss He, it's Muchen. Don't call him Chen Mu anymore. Chen Mu is a pseudonym."
Wu Jinque exclaimed, "He is Chen Mu? Isn't Chen Mu..." an ugly monster?
Wu Jinque suddenly realized, that's right, Mu Chen used the strange fire! Why didn't he think that Mu Chen used the strange fire? Aunt Wu Feng was right, the strange fire was indeed taken away by Mu Chen.
Chen Mu is so powerful. No wonder Wu Feng asked Chen Mu to take care of him. She originally thought that her aunt was overthinking it and it was unnecessary to ask Chen Mu to take care of her.
Ye Shi took Mu Chen's hand and said mysteriously, "I was afraid that Mu Chen would attract a lot of attention, so I pretended to be ugly to avoid being noticed."
Wu Jinque smiled dryly and said, "Then you are not afraid of Mu Chen anymore."
Ye Shi raised his fist and said majestically, "Don't be afraid. I'll beat up anyone who wants me to do that."
Black Sparrow: “…”
Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi helplessly and said, "You just like to think too much."
Ye Shi smiled helplessly and said, "Who asked you to be so nice? I have to keep a close eye on you."
A green tiger jumped onto Mu Chen's shoulder. When the green tiger saw Ye Shi, it screamed.
"Little white face, why did you choose such a partner? The aura he carries makes this sect very disgusted! Little white face, you dumped him and found someone else? There are so many beautiful women and handsome men here..."
"Shut up." Mu Chen said viciously.
Ye Shi glared at Qing Lao Hu fiercely and said, "Little wild cat, if you keep yelling, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."
"You idiot, you actually said that I am a cat." The blue tiger roared.
"You look like a cat. Do you still want me to say you are a bear?" Ye Shi sneered.
"Burn you to death." The green tiger said with its fangs and claws bared.
Mu Chen's soul power turned into a hammer and smashed on the tiger's head.
"You actually hit me for a pretty boy, you're going too far..." The green tiger howled in grief and anger.
"Behave yourself." Mu Chen scolded.
Green Tiger looked at Ye Shi with indignation. Ye Shi clenched his fists and smiled evilly.
"I won't argue with you." The green tiger screamed and shrank back into Mu Chen's sea of consciousness.
Mu Chen smiled at Ye Shi and said, "Shi Tou, you're amazing! That guy is always unruly and he hid as soon as he saw you."
Ye Shi held his head high and said, "This guy deserves a beating, no matter how you look at him."
"Where are we going next?" Mu Chen asked.
"My father gave me a map. It's possible that there are eight places where that thing is." Ye Shi said to Mu Chen.
"There is no other target anyway, so let's look for it one by one." Mu Chen said without thinking.
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Okay!"
Ye Shi turned to the Bai family and said, "Go and have fun by yourselves. Don't worry about me. I'm going to look for something with Muchen."
"Mr. Bai, don't you want to join us?" said a three-star Martial Emperor from the Bai family.
Ye Shi shook his head and said, "No, Muchen and I have other things to do."
"But……"
Mu Chen glanced at the person who was speaking from the Bai family with an unfriendly look. Facing Mu Chen's cold gaze, the person shut up awkwardly.
Mu Chen's cold eyes swept over everyone in the Bai family. Just now, Ye Shi was targeted by Zhuang Jin's people, and no one in the Bai family stood up for Ye Shi. Although the people from the Bai family were not able to help much with their strength, Mu Chen still felt a little uncomfortable.
Although Ye Shi is Bai Chenxing's son, he grew up in the outer city. These native Bai family members probably still regard Ye Shi as an outsider.
"Mu Chen." He Jingyue called out uneasily.
He Jingyue frowned. She had known for a long time that the Tianji Secret Realm was dangerous, but only after entering did she realize how dangerous it was. Without Mu Chen's help, given the strength of the people in the formation tower, she would be in great danger.
Mu Chen frowned and said, "Miss He, before I came in, I promised Master He that I would take care of the people in the Formation Tower. However, I have other things to do, so I'm afraid I can't come with you."
He Jingyue gritted her teeth, a look of disappointment appearing on her face.
"However." Mu Chen waved his hand, and four Sky-Swallowing Worms flew out. "These four Sky-Swallowing Worms are all level six. I have already terminated the contract. Miss He, please acknowledge them as your master."
He Jingyue was delighted. Four level six Sky-Devouring Worms were equivalent to four Martial Emperors.
"Thank you, Mr. Mu." He Jingyue said hurriedly.
Mu Chen smiled faintly and said, "It's just a piece of cake."
Ye Shi looked at He Jingyue, then at Muchen, and wanted to say something but never said it.
He Ming lowered his head, his former pride gone. Looking at the four Sky-Devouring Worms in He Jingyue's hands, He Ming couldn't help but feel a little envious.
Four Sky-Swallowing Worms were equivalent to four Martial Emperors. If these things were mine, my strength would have skyrocketed. Unfortunately...
He Ming originally thought that as a Martial Emperor, his strength was already outstanding enough. However, after witnessing the fierce battle between Mu Chen and the people around Zhuang Yu, He Ming realized that there are always people better than you. Who knows how many masters are hidden in this secret realm.
"Let's go." Mu Chen took Ye Shi's hand, their fingers intertwined, and they quickly left the place.
"Why did you give the Sky-Swallowing Worm to He Jingyue? Didn't you say that it's best not to let things out?" Out of everyone's sight, Ye Shi frowned and said a little uneasily.
The Sky-Swallowing Worm was raised by Muchen and Ye Shi together, and Ye Shi has a special feeling for it.
Mu Chen narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you jealous?"
Ye Shi neither nodded nor shook his head, but just looked at Mu Chen eagerly.
Mu Chen smiled and said, "It's just a temporary measure. The Sky-Swallowing Worms I gave her are all male. I added a secret realm to them. Without the secret realm, they will die naturally."
Ye Shi nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "That's good."
Outside the secret realm.
He Xian sighed quietly. He was also very tempted by the ancient and exotic Sky-Swallowing Worm. However, once the Sky-Swallowing Worm signed a contract with someone, it was difficult to cancel it. He Xian was too embarrassed to ask Ye Shi for it. Initially, seeing that Muchen had given the Sky-Swallowing Worm to He Jingyue, He Xian understood a little bit of his other thoughts, but in the end...
Mu Chen is a complicated person and much more difficult to deal with than Ye Shi.
Bai Chenxing smiled slightly. Since Mu Chen had reunited with Yan Xing, Yan Xing should not be in danger.
…………
Mu Chen and Ye Shi walked forward. When they saw the fruit tree on the mountain peak, Ye Shi stopped in his tracks. "Star-Moon Fruit Tree."
A fruit tree grows on the top of a mountain. There are eight fruits hanging on the tree. Four of the fruits look like five-pointed stars, and four fruits look like moons.
A glint of light flashed in Muchen's eyes. The star fruit and moon fruit on the Star Moon Fruit Tree could be fused together to make Star Moon Pills, which was a good thing that could improve the rank of Martial Emperor.
It is already difficult to move up to the Martial Emperor level. If Mu Chen had not obtained the Five Spirits Tower and Qing Ru Xiaotian first, it would not be easy for him to reach the six-star Martial Emperor, let alone the promotion to Martial Sect.
"Mu Chen, I want it." Ye Shi said with bright eyes.
A glimmer of light flashed in Ye Shi's eyes, and he followed Mu Chen to the top of the mountain where the Star Moon Fruit Tree was.
Star fruits and moon fruits hang on the long branches, shining with dazzling light. When the wind blows, the fruits sway with the wind, which is really beautiful.
Outside the secret realm.
Many martial masters saw the Star-Moon Fruit Tree. "Xingchen, your son is very lucky to have discovered a rare treasure so quickly. However, according to the records in the classics, the restrictions outside this Star-Moon Fruit Tree are very strange. Even if the formation is broken, it will disappear for no reason."
Ye Shi's eyes burst into golden light, his hands flew, and the entire formation was recorded by Ye Shi.
"It's a low-level seventh-level protective formation. It shouldn't be difficult to break. However, I don't quite understand the structure of this formation." Ye Shi handed the recorded things to Mu Chen.
After entering the Bai family, with Bai Chenxing's careful guidance, Ye Shi's formation skills improved by leaps and bounds. However, he found that there were structures in the seventh-level low-grade formation that he could not understand, and he couldn't help feeling discouraged.
Mu Chen looked at the thing in his hand and said, "It's normal that you can't understand it. That's not the structure of the formation, but the structure of the inscription. If you don't understand inscriptions, then naturally you won't understand."
"Ah! Inscriptions, why are there inscriptions in the formation?" Ye Shi asked in confusion.
"There's nothing strange about this. Different techniques share many commonalities. Moreover, in ancient times, many people practiced several techniques together. The Tianji clan is an ancient school. Take a look inside this Star-Moon Fruit to see if there are any formations."
Upon hearing this, Ye Shi obediently peered through the outer layer of the formation and peered inside. He frowned and said, "It seems there's a teleportation formation."
Mu Chen nodded and said, "That's right. These inscription structures are connected to the formation inside. If, as I guessed correctly, we accidentally touch the inscription structure on the formation when breaking the formation, the teleportation array inside will be activated, and the Star-Moon Tree will disappear."
Ye Shi opened his eyes wide and said, "Is that so?"
Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi and said, "Can you open this formation without disturbing the inscription?"
Ye Shi carefully observed the formation and said hesitantly, "I'm about 90% sure."
Mu Chen crossed his arms and said, "Ninety percent? I'm only seventy percent sure. You come."
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Okay."
Mu Chen told Ye Shi the results of his calculations. After they discussed for a while, Ye Shi took action to break the formation.
Ye Shi is usually careless, but when it comes to breaking the formation, he is extremely meticulous. After a while, the formation was successfully opened.
The moment the formation opened, a jade slip suddenly appeared and fell in front of Ye Shi.
"What is it?" Mu Chen asked as he stepped forward.
Ye Shi handed the things to Mu Chen and said, "Introduction to the Star-Moon Fruit Tree, and the recipe for the elixir."
Mu Chen took the jade slip handed to him by Ye Shi and began to read it. The jade slip introduced several recipes for elixirs using the Star-Moon Fruit Tree, including the most popular recipe for the Star-Moon Pill made from the Star Fruit and Moon Fruit. However, compared to the other recipes introduced in the jade slip, the recipe for the Star-Moon Pill was nothing special.
According to the introduction in the jade slip, the most rare thing about the Star-Moon Fruit Tree is not the star fruit or the moon fruit, but the tree itself. The Star-Moon Fruit Tree can be used to refine eighth-level elixirs.
