Chapter 299
"Who is it? Who secretly ate up all the high-quality Yuan Stones?" Inside the spirit tower, the tower spirit shouted loudly with tears in his eyes.
Ye Shi touched his sleeves feeling somewhat guilty. The tower spirit needed Yuanshi, and the book spirit also needed Yuanshi. Moreover, the book spirit was picky and would not accept anything other than top-grade Yuanshi. If the book spirit liked all kinds of Yuanshi, it wouldn't be so conspicuous. As a result, there were so many less top-grade Yuanshi all of a sudden. It would be strange if the tower spirit didn't notice.
"It's just that we're short of some high-quality Yuanshi. Look how excited you are." Mu Chen said lightly.
The tower spirit looked at Mu Chen with a look of disappointment, "Master Tower Master, aren't you upset about losing so many high-grade Yuan Stones? Those are high-grade Yuan Stones! They're not scrap metal!"
Ye Shi had already reported to Muchen that the Book Spirit needed Yuanshi. If the weapon spirit remained weak for a long time, it might dissipate. Once it dissipated, the value of the formation book in Ye Shi's hand would inevitably plummet. Therefore, when Muchen learned that the Book Spirit needed Yuanshi, he told Ye Shi to use it.
Fearing the Tower Spirit's wrath, Muchen and Yeshi tacitly concealed the Book Spirit's affairs. As a result, the Book Spirit's tastes were too high. It looked down upon low-grade and mid-grade Yuan Stones, and even absorbed quite a few high-grade Yuan Stones...
Ta Ling's yin-yang fish eyes were almost squeezed out of sight by his "flesh", but his eyes were still clear.
"The amount of Yuanshi decreases a lot every day! This is not surprising." Mu Chen said calmly.
Upon hearing Mu Chen's words, the tower spirit's face suddenly twisted. It would eat up a lot of the Yuanshi in the spirit tower every day, but what it ate were all cheap stuff!
"Master Tower Master, this time is different. We must find out the culprit. This guy is too greedy. If you continue to let him eat like this, you will become a pauper. Do you think you won't be able to afford even a roast chicken in the future?" Tower Ling said righteously.
Mu Chen smiled disapprovingly and said, "With you here, you're still worried that I won't become a pauper. Don't worry, I'm destined to be a pauper anyway. It's only a matter of time. Don't worry."
Tower Spirit: “…”
Mu Chen sighed helplessly in his heart. He had already raised a tower spirit, and now he had to raise another book spirit. No matter how many Yuanshi he had, it would not be enough!
The tower spirit turned its yin-yang fish eyes and suddenly looked at Ye Shi. Ye Shi felt a little guilty when he was suddenly looked at by the tower spirit.
"Why are you looking at me like that!" Ye Shi said innocently.
"It's you, it's you, it's you. Every time I, the Tower Master, encounter something like you, my brain becomes filled with water. Men in love are all idiots!" Tower Ling sobbed and cried.
Ye Shi felt a little embarrassed, but also a little sweet. "You think too much."
"There is a special aura on you, the aura of your kind." Ta Ling sobbed for a while, then looked at Ye Shi with a fierce look.
The book spirit was too weak before, and the tower spirit couldn't feel it, but now the book spirit's aura has begun to gradually condense.
Ye Shi shook his head and said, "No, no, you're mistaken, I don't have anything on me!"
"Girl, you've raised a very expensive thing. I advise you to let it fend for itself. Otherwise, you'll become a pauper and die of poverty." Tower Spirit said seriously.
Ye Shi rubbed his nose. The book spirit was still very useful. Ever since the book spirit began to recover, he could turn several pages of the book on the formations of hundreds of schools. The book spirit also knew how to infuse spirits, and some formation knowledge was directly infused into his brain.
"Okay, okay, stop exaggerating and get out of here." Mu Chen said.
Tower Spirit said indignantly, "Get out? We're discussing catching the culprit now. You want me to get out? Where do you want me to go?"
Mu Chen said as a matter of course: "Get out of here."
Tower Spirit: “…”
Before the tower spirit could speak, Muchen sent out a thought.
Tiger saw Ta Ling coming out, scratched his chin, and asked leisurely: "Aren't you looking for the culprit? Why did you come out so soon?"
The tower spirit gritted its teeth and said, "Master Tower Master, you sent me out just to mess around with that pretty boy. Master Tower Master, you are a beast."
The tiger chuckled and said, "There's nothing I can do. You're such an eyesore."
The tower spirit snorted coldly with anger.
"Did you catch the thief?" Tiger asked calmly.
"No." Ta Ling said sullenly.
"The thief is crying 'Catch the thief!' That thief, could it be you?" Tiger asked suspiciously.
Ta Ling glared at Tiger fiercely and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, you idiot." Ta Ling shook his body and said, "The thief must be with Little White Face. I can sense the scent of a kindred spirit on him. He's still very weak now. I can kill him with one blow."
The tiger asked curiously, "Are you going to smash it to death?"
The tower spirit gritted its teeth and said, "Not yet." It was obvious that the tower master knew about the existence of the little thief, but Muchen had allowed him to exist. What a fool! Lust blinded his mind.
"What an adulterous couple." Ta Ling said angrily.
Little Green Tiger chuckled and said, "You know that Mu Chen is an idiot when he met Ye Shi. Why are you fighting with Ye Shi?"
The tower spirit said with a depressed look: "Raising a tiger will only bring trouble to you. When the tower master becomes a poor ghost, he will definitely regret it."
Little Green Tiger said indifferently, "Then you just wait."
Ta Ling glanced at the little green tiger coldly.
"From now on, someone will steal your job!" Little Green Tiger said with a gloating look.
Ta Ling's chubby face twisted.
…………
"You just got the tower spirit out like that?" Ye Shi muttered.
Mu Chen nodded and said with some disdain: "That guy is becoming more and more long-winded."
Ye Shi said uneasily, "...If you just take it out like this, it might get mad."
"It's scolding me outside right now!" Mu Chen said with a slight smile.
Ye Shi asked curiously, "What did it scold you for?"
A brilliant smile appeared on Mu Chen's lips as he leaned close to Ye Shi's ear and said, "It called me a beast because of lust."
Mu Chen suddenly pushed Ye Shi down on the bed in the secret realm, and Ye Shi's face turned red.
Ye Shi opened his eyes wide and looked at Muchen. He didn't know if it was because he had been holding Muchen back for a while, but Muchen had been very enthusiastic about this matter recently.
Even though Ye Shi felt that he had good physical strength, was very comfortable practicing dual cultivation with Muchen, and his strength was increasing rapidly, he still felt that Muchen was a little too demanding.
Sometimes, Ye Shi couldn't help but wonder how Zhuang Jin could deal with Murong Feng and the other five people alone.
Although, when he was scolding people, he said that Murong Feng and others were impotent, but Ye Shi knew very well that Murong Feng and others should have good abilities. After all, they were all "young talents". After thinking about it, Ye Shi could only blame everything on the extraordinary talents of the Ming clan.
"What are you thinking about? You're so engrossed." Mu Chen hugged Ye Shi tightly.
"Thinking of Zhuang Jin..."
Mu Chen chuckled and said, "You're thinking about him at this time? What do you think about him?"
"Zhuang Jin is very powerful! One against five." Ye Shi said.
Mu Chen's face darkened as he fiercely blocked Ye Shi's mouth.
…………
Mu Chen and Ye Shi stood outside the eighth-level formation and analyzed it. Ye Shi's book spirit absorbed a large amount of high-quality Yuanshi from Mu Chen. Perhaps feeling embarrassed, it gave Mu Chen an initiation.
Mu Chen easily mastered a lot of eighth-level formation knowledge, but that knowledge was forced into Mu Chen's sea of consciousness by the book spirit, and Mu Chen still needed time to digest and absorb it. Once he integrated this formation knowledge, he would be able to become an eighth-level formation master.
Mu Chen and Ye Shi were concentrating on conquering the formation when a familiar man in black robe appeared in front of Ye Shi.
Ye Shi looked at Lie Xingtian with surprise and said, "You're here? What's in your hand... could it be that..."
"It's Murong Feng's head." The man in black robe said lightly.
Ye Shi asked in surprise: "Murong Feng is dead?"
Lie Xingtian nodded and said, "Yes."
Mu Chen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly had a strange feeling. Murong Feng actually died like this, which was beyond his expectation.
Mu Chen narrowed his eyes strangely, "The five of Murong Feng joining forces should be difficult to deal with."
Lie Xingtian nodded and said, "That was originally the case, but they were poisoned by several cultivators from the Poison King Valley. It seems that Shi Jingtian's poison was not completely cleared. Finally, when the five of them joined forces, they attacked and left an opening. I took advantage of the chaos and killed Murong Feng."
Ye Shi's eyes widened and he said, "Ah! I get it. Among Zhuang Jin and the other five, Murong Feng knows how to make pills, but he dislikes Shi Jingtian the most. Murong Feng must have given Shi Jingtian a faulty detoxification pill, causing Shi Jingtian to have problems right before the battle. He's bringing this upon himself!"
Mu Chen crossed his arms and said nothing.
Ye Shi looked towards Mu Chen and asked, "Mu Chen, do you think my guess is correct?"
Mu Chen smiled and said, "Who knows? I can only say that this is a possibility. Master Lie, in your opinion, is Shi Jingtian really suffering from the poison or is he doing it on purpose?"
Ye Shi blinked and said, "Intentional? Why would he do that on purpose?"
"Maybe he has been suppressed too much by Murong Feng and others, and he has psychological problems. He wants to take the opportunity to escape." Mu Chen said with a smile.
"Is this possible?" If Shi Jingtian had stayed with Murong Feng and the others, he would have had a chance to obtain the Zhongzhou Inscription Tower. Would he be willing to give up such a great benefit?
"This is not impossible." Mu Chen said.
Ye Shi thought about it and said seriously, "That's right! There's only one Zhuang Jin. Murong Feng and the other four are close friends. Shi Jingtian is the only one. When the five of them were pretending to be smart, Murong Feng and the other four would definitely stick together. Shi Jingtian must have been often left aside. Seeing that he couldn't get what he wanted, he held it in for too long and became mentally abnormal."
Mu Chen: “…”
Lie Xingtian: “…”
Outside the secret realm, Wu Feng looked at Ye Shi's lip movements and felt a shudder in his heart. What on earth was Ye Shi saying? When he said this, Ye Shi's expression didn't change at all. He wondered what Mu Chen's expression was at that moment.
Wu Feng looked towards Shi Wei, only to see that Shi Wei's face was ashen.
Mu Chen's eyes moved around Ye Shi for a few times, then turned his gaze back to Lie Xingtian, "Mr. Lie, what do you think?"
Lie Xingtian frowned and said, "I'm not sure either, but the timing of Shi Jingtian's accident is indeed a coincidence."
Mu Chen smiled and said, "So, I understand."
