Chapter 346
Bai family.
"Shi Tou, where is Mu Chen? I haven't seen him much recently!" Qu Kun muttered while eating cake with his cheeks bulging.
"He went to teach those old men." Ye Shi muttered.
"Is that so!" Qu Kun lay in the rocking chair and thought to himself: Muchen, a pretty boy, is teaching a group of old men from the Bai and Ling families. It's really weird to think about it.
"Mu Chen said that he plans to train an eighth-level alchemist for each of the Bai and Ling families." Ye Shi held his chin, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
What's so arrogant about the Danta Tower Master? He's just a lowly eighth-level alchemist. He actually dares to overestimate his own abilities and go against Muchen at every turn. Once Muchen trains two eighth-level alchemists, we'll see how this guy will hold his own.
Qu Kun's eyes suddenly widened, and he said in a daze: "Two... eighth-level alchemists? Are you mistaken?"
Ye Shi shook his head and said, "No, Mu Chen said that a level 7 alchemist can't control the situation, and only a level 8 alchemist can be used. However, a level 8 alchemist is not as easy to train as a level 7 alchemist. He needs to think about it carefully."
"Isn't Mu Chen afraid of being surpassed by others?" Qu Kun muttered.
"How is that possible? It's still a long way to go for those good-for-nothing alchemists from the Bai and Ling families to surpass Muchen." Ye Shi said with disapproval.
Qu Kun glanced at Ye Shi and said, "You have confidence in Muchen."
"Mu Chen will soon be a ninth-level alchemist. Being an eighth-level alchemist is really nothing." Ye Shi waved his hand, looking as if he was saying that being an eighth-level alchemist was nothing special and that it was nothing to worry about.
Qu Kun looked at Ye Shi's face, which looked like he deserved a beating, and secretly curled his lips.
Muchen's spirit tower has been upgraded to level nine, and the various functions of the spirit tower have been greatly improved. Muchen has already simulated the refining of level nine pills in the spirit tower and succeeded many times.
Qu Kun frowned and said, "Is Mu Chen planning to refine the ninth-level elixir?
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Mu Chen said we can give it a try. Father and grandfather are currently preparing the spiritual herbs. As long as they are ready, we can start anytime."
Qu Kun pondered for a moment and said, "Let him calm down."
The Bai family is now at the center of public opinion. If Muchen fails to refine the ninth-level elixir, Danta will probably take the opportunity to add insult to injury and accuse Muchen of overestimating his abilities.
Although rumors are just rumors after all, in fact, people's words can be terrifying! Rumors can also kill people invisibly.
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Mu Chen said that he plans to train two eighth-level alchemists first, and then think about the ninth-level elixir."
Qu Kun nodded and said, "Okay." If the Bai and Ling families could really produce two eighth-level alchemists, even if Mu Chen failed to refine the ninth-level elixir, no one would say much.
Dabao and Xiaobao sat quietly beside Ye Shi drinking animal milk. Qu Kun looked at the milk bottles in their hands and suddenly wanted to drink too.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" Ye Shi asked Qu Kun who was in a daze.
Qu Kun shook his head and said, "It's okay. Do you have any dried meat? I've been itching for a while now, so I'm going to use some dried meat to soothe my teeth."
Grandpa ate such a big piece of cake and missed his jerky, Ye Shi said a little depressedly.
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yes, Mu Chen prepared a lot for me."
"Mu Chen is much more righteous than Bai Chenxing and Ling Chuan." Qu Kun said sourly.
Ye Shi pursed his lips, smiled, and thought to himself: That's natural. Compared to Muchen, my father and Grandpa Ling are both idiots.
Qu Kun didn't know that Mu Chen was afraid that Ye Shi would be hungry and take pills to fill his stomach, so he didn't dare to cut off Ye Shi's food supply at all.
The Bai family's living room.
"Chen'er, you said you wanted to hold an auction?" Bai Xifeng looked at Mu Chen and said after a moment of hesitation.
Mu Chen nodded and said, "Yes."
Bai Xifengrao asked with interest: "What are you going to auction?
Mu Chen took out a jade box, opened it, and said casually: "Thirty level eight pills."
As soon as the jade box was opened, a strong fragrance of elixir and vitality poured out instantly, and Bai Xifeng's eyes almost popped out.
Bai Xifeng coughed violently twice, and it took him a long time to calm down his excitement. He said, "So many? Are you short of Yuanshi?
Why would they auction off so many level eight pills? The Bai family could easily keep them all!
Mu Chen shook his head and said, "Not really, I'm just... bored."
Bai Xifeng: “…” Do you dare to be any more boring?
Bai Xifeng looked at Mu Chen and thought secretly: This genius's ideas are different from those of ordinary people. When he is bored, he takes out thirty eighth-level pills to play with. When he is bored, he just looks for a few brothers to practice with or have a meal together. As the saying goes, comparison is the thief of joy!
Mu Chen pondered for a moment and said, "The items to be exchanged for this auction can be anything related to alchemy, inscriptions, talismans, refining equipment, formations, and anything that can promote the advancement of the strange fire. Ninth-level alchemy formulas, ninth-level spiritual materials, and top-grade Yuanshi are preferred..."
Bai Xifeng nodded and said, "Okay."
The things that Muchen can appreciate at his current level are all the hidden treasures of some old guys. Without spending some money, those guys may not be able to take them out.
"Before, I said that there might be some problems with training eighth-level alchemists for the Bai and Ling families..." Mu Chen said after a moment of hesitation.
Bai Xifeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: If an eighth-level alchemist is so easy to train, then things would be a mess. Why has Danta Tower Master Qiu Zhengrong been so high and mighty for so many years? Isn't it because he is an eighth-level alchemist? "You don't have to be too hasty about this matter. Take your time, take your time." Bai Xifeng said hurriedly.
"I have overestimated the comprehension of the alchemists in the family. I'm afraid it won't be easy to train an eighth-level alchemist from them." Mu Chen said with some disappointment.
Bai Xifeng thought to himself: You have an amazing understanding, so you should assume that other people's understanding is as strong as yours.
"It doesn't matter if we can't cultivate it. There are so many level seven alchemists, that's enough." Bai Xifeng took a sip of tea, calmed down, and said lightly.
Mu Chen glanced at Bai Xifeng and said, "I think it's not easy to train someone from within the family. I'm afraid we'll have to recruit someone from outside."
"Do you want to recruit a few level seven advanced alchemists for training?" Bai Fufeng immediately realized.
Mu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, I'll have to ask my uncle to help me find the right alchemist."
Bai Xifeng said hurriedly, "I have no choice but to do this. I have no choice but to do this."
Bai Xifeng narrowed his eyes and thought to himself: This is a lucrative job! However, I need to be more careful and not let in those who are disloyal.
What the hell is Jiao Meng?! A few days ago, he actually approached an elder in the family who used to be on good terms with him and said he was willing to come back, but the salary was slightly higher than before. He almost made the elder vomit blood in anger. This guy really takes himself too seriously, just a seventh-level advanced alchemist.
"After the auction is over, it will be easier to recruit a seventh-level alchemist." Mu Chen thought.
Bai Xifeng lowered his head and thought to himself: Mu Chen really underestimated the appeal of alchemy to alchemists. Before Mu Chen agreed, more than a dozen level seven alchemists sent letters expressing their willingness to join the Bai family. However, Mu Chen did not agree, so Bai Xifeng did not dare to say anything more.
"Chen'er, you are famous now. If you want to recruit people, you don't have to worry about no one coming to you." Bai Xifeng said.
Mu Chen said: "Really?
Bai Xifeng nodded and said, "Of course." This guy Mu Chen had no idea how charming he was now!
…………
Qu Kun lazily lay in the chair, nibbling on a large piece of cream cake.
Ye Shi looked at the cake swallowed by Qu Kun, feeling a pang of pain.
This cake was made by Muchen, but before he had even taken two bites, Qu Kun snatched it away.
Qu Kun felt a little embarrassed when he saw Ye Shi staring at the cake in his hand.
Although he felt embarrassed, Qu Kun swallowed the cake without any hesitation.
Qu Kun thought to himself: This guy Mu Chen's cooking skills are getting better and better. How can he be so good? The Bai family's chef Ling is about to have no job to eat because of him.
"Your Muchen seems to be very busy lately!" Qu Kun laughed, trying to divert Ye Shi's attention.
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yeah! I don't know why Muchen would spend so much effort on a bunch of stupid old guys."
Qu Kun: "..." Those old guys who are not enlightened, they are all seventh-level alchemists! In Ye Shi's eyes, they became old guys who are not enlightened. However, compared with Muchen, those people are far behind, and they are not even on the same level.
A man in white clothes and carrying a medicine box walked towards the two of them.
"Greetings, Senior Qu, and Young Master Bai." The man said respectfully to the two of them.
Qu Kun looked at the person who came, frowned, and said unfriendlyly: "Who are you?" The clothes the person wore had the Ling family label on them, which made Qu Kun subconsciously feel disgusted.
"My surname is Li, my name is Li Huai, and I am the pharmacist of the Ling family." Li Huai said with a gentle smile.
"You're from the Ling family! You're wearing clothes from the Ling family. I know you're not a good person even without you calling me Li Huai." Qu Kun curled his lips and said unhappily.
Li Huai smiled good-naturedly and said, "Senior Qu, you are so funny."
Qu Kun said with a forced smile, "I'm not trying to be funny, I'm just speaking the truth."
"Senior Qu, my name is not Li Huai, but Li Huai." Li Bei explained with a warm smile.
Qu Kun felt suffocated when he saw Li Huai's good-tempered appearance.
"What are you doing here?" Qu Kun asked straight to the point.
"Seventeenth Master said, Senior Qu, you have had a good appetite recently, and you may be pregnant. He asked me to take a look for you." Li Huai said.
Qu Kun clenched his fists and said, "Since you are a pharmacist, why don't you go and check on Ling Chuan to see if he has any stomach problems? I think he is almost terminally ill."
Li Huai: "..."
Ye Shi came closer to Qu Kun and said, "But, Grandpa, your appetite has been getting better and better recently. It really seems like you're pregnant."
Qu Kun's face darkened, and he said unhappily, "Which side are you on?
Ye Shi said as a matter of course: "Of course I stand on your side, Grandpa Qu..." However, which side he stood on had nothing to do with whether Grandpa was pregnant or not!
Qu Kun looked at the visitor impatiently and said, "You can leave now."
Ye Shi said disapprovingly: "Grandpa, please check it out. It's not a big deal. Besides, you've been feeling really weird lately!
Qu Kun's expression changed from gloomy to bright. Finally, he stretched out his wrist angrily and said, "Hurry up."
Li Huai quickly reached out and took Qu Kun's pulse.
Qu Kun looked at Li Huai's calm face, and his mood suddenly became anxious, "How is it?
Li Huai shook his head and said, "No."
Qu Kun heaved a sigh of relief and said with joy, "That's good."
Li Huai looked at the joy in Qu Kun's eyes and his face looked a little strange.
Qu Kun glanced at Li Huai, cleared his throat twice, and said, "You can go back and report to that guy Ling Chuan. Tell him to be alright and not to overthink it. He's such a rotten guy with all that looks good on the outside. How can he still think that good things will happen to him? Go take a cold shower and wake up. With his level of talent, he's still dreaming all day long. It's flattering him."
Li Huai looked at Qu Kun with a look of contempt, put away his medicine box, and left angrily.
