Chapter 286
Mu Chen folded his arms and looked at the man in black. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Have you made any preparations?"
The man in black took out a rusty iron ball and handed it to Mu Chen, saying, "I found this in the remains of a martial arts master. This person also failed to advance twice before. I wonder if his final advancement was related to this iron ball."
"Mu Chen, this thing looks familiar!" Ye Shi stepped forward and said.
Mu Chen nodded and said, "It seems so, I seem to have seen it before."
Mu Chen took out a brocade box from the spirit tower. Inside the box was an iron ball that was similar to the one the man in black took out.
The iron ball in Mu Chen's hand was obtained by Mu Chen from the Jin family ruins before. Mu Chen has never figured out what it is.
As soon as the two iron balls met, they burst into golden light at the same time, and quickly merged into one, turning into golden color. Some strange words appeared on the surface of the metal balls.
"What is that?" Ye Shi asked as he stepped forward.
Mu Chen said calmly, "It's an inscription that helps the Martial Emperor advance to the Martial Sect."
"Are the Suxin Pill, Lingzong Formation, and this inscription enough?" Ye Shi asked.
Mu Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know, but there should be some chance?"
Ye Shi asked cautiously, "How many chances are there?"
"Twenty percent." Mu Chen said after considering it for a moment.
When Ye Shi heard Muchen's answer, he felt like fainting. "Only 20%!"
Ye Shichao looked at the man in black and thought to himself: This guy is dead. Even with the three kinds of formations, elixirs, formations, and inscriptions, there is only a 20% chance. This guy will definitely die by self-destructing.
Mu Chen shook his head and said, "Maybe not yet." Lie Xingtian's condition can almost be called a terminal illness.
Ye Shi frowned and said, "None of these three methods have a 20% chance of success?" He clearly felt the aura on Lie Xingtian's body, which was very strong. He was only one step away from breaking through to the Martial Sect level.
"Actually, there is a way, maybe we can try it." Mu Chen said after thinking for a while.
"What?" Ye Shi asked curiously.
"Lingxin Pill, this kind of pill can help you comprehend the next realm. With this pill, you should be able to gain 30% more confidence." Mu Chen said.
"Lingxin Pill, what kind of pill is this! It's so powerful, the Lingzong Formation, the inscription plus the Suxin Pill, is only less than 20% of it." Ye Shi muttered with his eyes wide open.
"Good pill." Mu Chen said.
It was only recently when he obtained Lingyin Xing that he learned about the existence of such a level eight elixir.
Outside the secret realm, the place where the alchemists gathered was in an uproar.
"Spirit Heart Pill, what on earth does this guy Muchen want to do!"
"Does he want to use the eighth-level Lingxin Pill to help a Martial Emperor break through to the Martial Sect? That's such a waste of talent and a huge waste of resources." Lingxin Pill is an eighth-level pill, usually used to help Martial Sects advance to the Martial Honor.
"What on earth does Lie Xingtian have that has so tempted Mu Chen that he would even think of using an eighth-level elixir?"
"Is Mu Chen joking or serious?"
"Could he be planning on refining the Spirit Heart Pill? The Golden Sun Pill, at best, can only be considered a pill between the seventh and eighth levels. While the Spirit Heart Pill is also a low-grade eighth-level pill, it's much more difficult to refine than the Golden Sun Pill."
"Who knows? Let's wait and see. If Muchen really wants to refine the Spirit Heart Pill, then we will be in for another treat."
"With Mu Chen's strength, refining the Golden Sun Pill is barely enough, but refining the Spirit Heart Pill is probably not enough."
"Lie Xingtian has failed to advance to the Martial Sect level three times. If he doesn't make a big move, he will definitely not have a chance to advance to the Martial Sect level. If this guy really advances to the Martial Sect level, there will be another peerless villain in the secret realm."
......
Bai Chenxing frowned. Could it be that he was after... the recipe for the Soul-Restoring Pill? If it was really for this thing, then Mu Chen really... left him speechless.
Within the secret realm.
Lie Xingtian glanced at Mu Chen for a few times, then bowed and said respectfully, "Thank you for everything, Mr. Mu."
Mu Chen smiled and said, "It's just a business deal. I still need time to consider whether the Spirit Heart Pill can be successful, as well as the inscription. I hope Young Master Lie can give me seven days."
Nine days later, it will be the time when a few bastards from Zhuang Jin's side will agree with Mu Chen and Ye Shi to exchange the spirit tower for the pill formula. If Lie Xingtian's way is blocked, no matter how disgusting it is, he will go to meet Zhuang Jin's gang.
Lie Xingtian glanced at Mu Chen and said, "Okay."
Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen in confusion, puffing out his cheeks. He said, "I understand that it takes time to refine the inscription. Why does it take time to refine the Spirit Heart Pill? Mu Chen, you're already an eighth-level alchemist, so you still can't refine the Spirit Heart Pill?"
Mu Chen smiled helplessly and said, "Although I am an eighth-level alchemist, I really have no confidence in the Spirit Heart Pill."
Ye Shi: “…”
"Why is it so difficult to refine Lingxin Pill?" Ye Shi muttered in confusion.
"Because Lingxin Pill is also an eighth-level pill." Lie Xingtian said.
"Ah!" Ye Shi covered his mouth and looked at Mu Chen in disbelief. After a while, he lowered his voice and said, "Is it necessary?"
Mu Chen crossed his arms and said helplessly, "If we don't use explosive materials, the success rate will be very low."
Lie Xingtian practiced the Immortal-Slaying Sword, and this sword technique was unstoppable. There were few rivals among the same level. However, there was a fatal weakness. The barrier to advancement to the Martial Sect was very thick and difficult to break through.
Lie Xingtian's training had been going smoothly all the way. Lie Xingtian's master originally thought that although it would be difficult for Lie Xingtian to advance to the Martial Sect, it would not be that difficult.
The first time Lie Xingtian tried to break through, he didn't take it too seriously, so he failed. The second time, Lie Xingtian was fully prepared, but unfortunately, he still failed. The third time, he took a gamble, but still failed.
The result of three failures was that it became almost impossible for Lie Xingtian to break through to the Wuzong level.
Lie Xingtian's master Yin Nitian had also thought about making Lingxin Pills for Lie Xingtian. However, there were only a few eighth-level alchemists in Zhongzhou, and it was not easy to make eighth-level pills.
Mu Chen talked with Lie Xingtian for a while and then went into the spirit tower.
The next day, the alchemy shop opened as usual, except that there was an extra servant in black in the shop.
After entering the three-star martial arts sect, Ye Shi's strength growth slowed down. Seeing that Mu Chen went to study elixirs, Ye Shi picked up the formation spell that he had put aside for a long time.
Ye Shi took out the family formation book and studied it carefully.
After returning to the Bai family, Ye Shi wanted to hand over the formation book, but only Bai Chenxing and Ye Shi were able to open the formation book. Bai Chenxing refused to accept it, so the formation book remained with Ye Shi.
In the medicine shop, books and materials related to formations can be exchanged for elixirs. Recently, many elixirs in the medicine shop have been exchanged for things related to formations.
Ye Shi was concentrating on studying the formation in the spirit tower, and all kinds of formation knowledge flowed into Ye Shi's mind.
Ye Shi gradually immersed himself in the study of formations, and there was nothing else in his eyes except formations.
Waves of green spiritual light emanated from Ye Shi. The tower spirit hid behind Ye Shi, blinking its yin-yang eyes, which were full of surprise.
Three days later, Ye Shi suddenly opened his eyes, and his spiritual eyes were emitting a strong purple-gold light.
"Hey, I'm a four-star martial arts master." Ye Shi said in surprise.
"Yes! You have been practicing for more than three days. The time blessing in the Spirit Tower is about six times, and in the Secret Realm it is more than ten times. Such a long time is equivalent to more than half a year outside. It is nothing to reach the four-star level." The tower spirit said quietly.
"How did I get into four stars? I completely forgot." Ye Shi said a little confused.
The tower spirit chuckled and said, "It's only four stars. There are a bunch of martial masters outside, waiting to kill you and Muchen."
Ye Shi frowned and ignored Ta Ling's words. He said, "I want to use the formation room to simulate the formation."
The tower spirit nodded and said, "Go ahead. Now that you've used up all your spiritual veins, hurry up and find one. It's only been a few days, and you've already used up three of them. How can you be so wasteful?"
Ye Shi's face darkened as he said, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's obviously you who used it all. Look at yourself..."
"What's wrong with my appearance?" Ta Ling asked in confusion.
"It's so fat, so fat!" Ye Shi said unhappily. The spirit tower cannot be described as fat or thin, but the tower spirit gave Ye Shi a feeling of being plump and greasy. "Look at you, so many gourds." The eaves of the spirit tower were hung with various small jade gourds. The shapes of each gourd were different, but they all exuded a sacred atmosphere.
Tower Spirit said helplessly: "Hurry up and go to the formation room. Aren't you going to simulate the formation? Go quickly!"
Ye Shi snorted coldly and went into the formation room.
The tower spirit looked at Ye Shi's back with a dim gaze. Not long after Ye Shi read the alchemy book, he seemed to have entered into an epiphany of the formation. This epiphany lasted for more than three days, which was equivalent to more than half a year outside.
It’s surprising that someone could maintain enlightenment for such a long time. Ye Shi probably hasn’t realized how much benefit this enlightenment has brought him, Ta Ling thought secretly.
Day 4.
Lie Xingtian remained in the alchemy shop as usual. Seeing Ye Shi coming out, he was stunned for a moment, "Mr. Bai, why did you suddenly come out? Where is Mr. Mu?"
Ye Shi's eyes lit up as he said, "Mu Chen is still refining the elixir. I thought of something that might be useful. Let me try it out."
Lie Xingtian asked curiously, "What is it?"
"The original Lingzong formation was of a low level. I improved it a bit, maybe the effect will be better." Ye Shi said confidently.
Lie Xingtian smiled and said, "So that's how it is!"
Lie Xingtian listened to Ye Shi's words and felt a little disapproving. Although Lie Xingtian did not think that Ye Shi had the ability to upgrade the formation, he did not refute anything.
"Do you want to go with me to take a look?" Ye Shi turned his head and asked Lie Xingtian.
Lie Xingtian nodded and said, "Okay!" The pill shop was watched by the tower spirit and the tiger, and ordinary people did not dare to act rashly. Lie Xingtian was just a decoration in the shop.
