Chapter 291
The shadow of a little tiger flew out from Zuyang's body, and Zuyang was suddenly surprised.
"The tiger sent a message saying that Muchen and Yeshi have agreed. However, each time the formation is activated, a large amount of Yuanshi will be consumed. We have to provide these Yuanshi ourselves. Also, each time it is activated, we have to produce an eighth-level spiritual herb or an equivalent spiritual object."
"The Yuan Stone is not a problem, and the spiritual objects are not a problem either. As long as Bai Yanxing is willing to help, it will be fine." Mu Beifeng breathed a sigh of relief.
None of them were thirty-year-old Nine-Star Martial Emperors, and they had all tried and failed to break through. Their aptitude was far superior to that of ordinary people. After entering the secret realm, the five of them joined forces and reaped considerable rewards.
However, if they cannot break through to the Wuzong level, no matter how great the gains are, they will not be of much use to them.
"Mu Chen has another strange request." Zu Yang said.
"What?" Mu Beifeng asked.
Zu Yang sighed lightly and said, "Mu Chen said that he has an inscription on his hand. According to calculations, it can increase the probability of advancing to the Martial Sect. However, the thing is still under testing and there may be problems. He asked if anyone among us is willing to give it a try. If someone is willing, the amount of Yuanshi used by that person to use the formation can be halved. If not..."
"If not, the formation is not allowed to be used?" Mu Beifeng asked.
Zu Yang nodded and said, "That's what I mean."
"I'll go." Mu Beifeng said.
"Brother Mu, you have to think clearly. Jiang Feng in the Inscription Tower has not made any progress in his cultivation over the past few years because there is a problem with the engraved inscriptions." Zu Yang said.
Mu Beifeng smiled nonchalantly and said, "No matter what, it won't get any worse."
Among the five people including Zu Yang, four of them have only failed once, but Mu Beifeng has failed twice.
Zu Yang looked at Mu Beifeng's application, nodded, and said, "Okay then."
Zu Yang lowered his head and thought secretly: I really don’t know what Lie Xingtian has in his hand that makes Mu Chen go to such great lengths.
It was obvious that Mu Chen was using them as test subjects for Lie Xingtian.
"I heard that Lie Xingtian seems to have placed a restriction on himself. If he fails to be promoted to Wuzong at the appointed time, he will self-destruct." Zu Yang said after a moment of hesitation.
"This guy is really a lunatic." Mu Beifeng smiled helplessly.
If he fails again, he will probably become as crazy as Lie Xingtian.
It is really uncomfortable to see others moving forward while you stay where you are forever.
Zu Yang nodded and said, "Okay then. Tiger said that Muchen and the others are very pressed for time and asked us to go there as soon as possible if we want to use the formation."
"In that case, let's go." Mu Beifeng said.
…………
Mu's medicine shop.
"They said they'll be here soon." Xiaohu said to Ye Shi.
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Okay."
"Little White Face just finished refining the elixir. Can we only give him a little time to rest?" asked Little Green Tiger.
Ye Shi nodded and said, "That should be enough." The flow of time in the spirit tower slowed down again. After a short rest, Mu Chen should be able to recover.
"It seems that the pretty boy master is born to be a hard-working person! If he dies from overwork one day, you, my pretty boy master, will be a widow! Hahaha..." The little green tiger laughed.
Ye Shi's face darkened as he said, "Mu Chen, if anything happens, I will definitely remind him to have you completely destroyed first, to prevent you from causing harm to the world."
Little Green Tiger smiled and said, "It's just a joke, pretty boy, don't take it so seriously. Just look at the pretty boy's owner's face, which looks like a beast in human form, and you'll know that he's definitely not going to die young."
Ye Shi: “…………”
Mu Chen walked out of the Spirit Tower and asked, "Is anyone here?"
Ye Shi nodded and said, "It's almost here, they should be here soon."
"Have you rested enough?" Ye Shi asked.
"I'm used to being hit, so I don't feel the injury is that serious." Mu Chen said with a smile.
Ye Shi nodded and said, "That's good."
Little Green Tiger looked at Mu Chen and said, "Little White-Faced Master, judging by what you said, I know you were born to be struck by lightning!"
"You should go into the spirit tower and rest. We will need you to preside over the formation later." Mu Chen ignored the little green tiger and said to Ye Shi.
Ye Shi nodded, "Okay."
Outside the secret realm, Wu Feng watched Ye Shi enter the spirit tower, with a strange look in his eyes.
…………
"Greetings, Master Mu." Zu Yang and the others bowed when they saw Mu Chen.
Although Muchen is younger than most of the others, in this world where everyone practices Yuanli, people only consider their cultivation level, not their age.
Mu Chen is an eighth-level alchemist, and his status is as noble as that of a martial arts master.
Mu Chen's eyes swept over Zu Yang and the others one by one. Although the five people in front of him were all Martial Emperors, their blood and energy were as powerful as some Martial Sect members.
Zhongzhou has never lacked geniuses. This time, so many Nine-Star Martial Emperors came in. He hadn't heard much about it before.
Mu Chen smiled and said, "No need to be so polite."
"Have you decided on the first person to engrave the inscription?" Mu Chen asked lightly.
"I" Mu Beifeng said.
Mu Chen looked at Mu Beifeng twice, nodded, and said, "Everyone else stop, you follow me."
Mu Beifeng looked back at Zu Yang and the others, then followed Mu Chen into the dark room.
…………
Outside the secret realm, a group of martial artists were surprised to see Zu Yang and others beside Mu Chen. The identities of the five people spread quickly.
"Zu Yang, Yan Chengque, Tang Fang, Mu Beifeng, Lu Yun, it turned out to be them. The five of them actually got together."
Only those outside the secret realm can see the influence of the people in the secret realm by engraving the names of the people in the secret realm. There are few martial masters and many people in the secret realm. No one thought of Zuyang and his group, so no one engraved the names of Zuyang and his group. Naturally, no one paid attention to them.
"I didn't expect that they had all entered the secret realm. All five of them had attempted to break through to the Martial Sect level, and their strength was at the Nine-Star Martial Emperor level. Zu Yang and Mu Beifeng's combat power was no less than that of the Martial Sect. I believe that there must be many rare treasures in the secret realm that fell into their hands."
"These people originally had great potential, but they all failed to break through before. It will be very difficult for them to break through to the Martial Sect level again."
"These five people came to Mu Chen, probably with the intention of attacking the Spiritual Sect Formation."
"These people broke through the Wuzong barrier. Although they were not as hopeless as Lie Xingtian, it was still not easy for them to break through."
"If the formation Ye Shi set up truly retains the ability of the Spiritual Sect formation to help people advance, then these five people have a very high chance of breaking through to the Martial Sect level."
"If these five people break through, the situation in the secret realm will change again."
…………
Outside the Mu's medicine shop.
"Strange, why is it closed again?"
"Maybe they're tired. Bai Yanxing recently set up an eighth-level formation, and Mu Chen refined an eighth-level Spiritual Heart Pill. Both of them probably need a rest."
"I heard that the eighth-level formation developed by Bai Yanxing is used to help people break through."
"I've also heard that the formation is an upgrade of the Spiritual Sect Formation. Some people speculate that it can help people enter the Martial Lord stage."
"It is said that if a Nine-Star Martial Emperor who is about to break through walks around in that formation, it will be easy for him to advance to the Martial Sect level."
"Mu Chen has refined the Spirit Heart Pill! If we could exchange this thing and take it outside, those Nine-Star Martial Sect members would fight over it."
"That's the Spirit Heart Pill! An eighth-level pill! How could it be so easy to exchange for it?"
"There seem to be several unfamiliar auras in the store! I hope Mr. Mu won't be held hostage!"
"Who could hold these two freaks, Mu Chen and Ye Shi, hostage? You're overthinking it."
…………
In the dark room of Mu's medicine shop.
Mu Chen mixed the liquid in his hand and said to Mu Beifeng calmly, "Take off your clothes."
Mu Beifeng nodded, took off his clothes, revealing his muscular back.
"Nice figure." Mu Chen said with a smile.
Mu Beifeng smiled dryly and said, "Thank you, Master Mu, for the compliment."
Mu Chen smiled and said, "No stone is better."
Mu Beifeng was stunned for a moment, then said awkwardly, "Master Mu, you're joking! How can I compare to Master Bai?"
"Don't be so nervous," Mu Chen said as he mixed the inscription liquid in his hand. "Although this is my first time engraving this inscription, normally, even if the engraving fails, it will only leave a scar, not kill you."
Mu Beifeng smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, I haven't engraved any inscriptions before. Master Mu, this inscription liquid seems to have a very strong energy!"
Mu Chen smiled and said, "The seventh-grade, top-grade inscription liquid is naturally rich in energy. The materials I have on hand can only make up three portions. If this inscription is proven to be effective, I may not be willing to engrave it even if someone comes to me with an eighth-grade spiritual medicine and asks me to do the same."
Mu Beifeng frowned, feeling a little strange. There were only three portions of inscription liquid, and the other one must be for Lie Xingtian. If he hadn't volunteered to be the first person to do the experiment, he might not even have a turn.
Outside the secret realm, Wu Feng looked at Mu Chen, who was carving an inscription for Mu Beifeng, with great interest. "I wonder how effective this inscription will be. Mu Beifeng is quite lucky."
Wu Feng thought to himself that Mu Chen was always very confident in what he did. Although it was his first time, Mu Chen's success rate should be quite high. Mu Beifeng made a lot of money.
"Hmph, you have no manners." Bai Chenxing said unhappily.
Wu Feng smiled helplessly and said, "It is inevitable that a warrior will have to take off his clothes when engraving an inscription on his body."
"Taking off clothes is inevitable, there's no need to stare at people with such fierce eyes!" Bai Chenxing said unhappily.
Wu Feng: “…………”Mu Chen didn’t stare at her like a wolf or a tiger.
In the secret realm, Mu Chen was concentrating on engraving an inscription on Mu Beifeng's back. His eyes were shining brightly as he stared at the inscription. He was completely unaware that outside the secret realm, Bai Chenxing was looking at him as if he wanted to skin him alive.
Outside the secret realm, Zu Yang and others who had been waiting for a long time were relieved when they saw Mu Beifeng coming out.
"Beifeng, are you okay?" Zuyang asked.
"What could happen to him? It's just an engraving of an inscription. This guy is taking advantage of me. Alright, those of you who want to use the formation, hand over your magic treasures if you know what's good for you, and then come with me." Ye Shi said carelessly, with his hands on his hips.
"Let me tell you! You guys should prepare the Yuanshi for the Lingzong Formation later. If the Yuanshi are not enough and the formation cannot be operated, I will not pay for it." Ye Shi said seriously.
"Young Master Ye, how many Yuan Stones are needed to operate the Lingzong Formation?" Zu Yang asked.
Ye Shi shrugged and said, "You ask me, who should I ask? This is my first time setting up a spiritual formation too!"
Lie Xingtian looked at Ye Shi strangely. If any other eighth-level formation master said this, it would be considered as deliberately making things difficult for him. However, coming from Ye Shi's mouth, it was more credible. After all, Ye Shi didn't even know that an eighth-level formation could trigger a thunder tribulation.
