Chapter 63 Low-Level Alchemist Guild
"Master Mu, we meet again." A gentle voice came with a bit of joy.
Ye Shi's heart suddenly tightened, and he looked at the person who came with unfriendly eyes.
Cheng Wanbai ignored Ye Shi and stared straight at Muchen.
"Ms. Cheng." Mu Chen nodded lightly at Cheng Wanbai.
"I heard that Young Master Mu is collecting first- and second-level pill recipes. I thought there might be a place that you would be interested in." Cheng Wanbai smiled warmly at Mu Chen.
Ye Shi hurriedly shook his head, standing in front of Muchen. He looked at Cheng Wanbai seriously and said, "No, no, no, Muchen isn't interested. He's almost spent all his Yuanshi. If he buys the recipe again, he'll starve to death."
Cheng Wanbai smiled and said nonchalantly, "Master Mu, are you short of money? If so, perhaps I can help..."
Mu Chen shook his head and said, "Shi Tou is joking. I still have some spare money."
Ye Shi secretly rolled his eyes and thought: I only have that little spare money. If I keep spending it like this, it will be gone soon.
Cheng Wanbai smiled and said, "The place I'm talking about is the Low-Level Alchemist Guild. This guild is a place for low-level alchemists to learn from each other and communicate with each other. If you have any questions, you can post a reward in the guild. The guild also has many other people's questions with rewards. If you can answer them, Master Mu, you can receive a certain reward..."
"There's a reward!" Ye Shi's eyes couldn't help but show a little more excitement.
Cheng Wanbai ignored Ye Shi and looked at Mu Chen with a warm smile. "Master Mu, there are many low-level alchemists over there who have been immersed in alchemy for decades. Many of them have a large number of low-level alchemy recipes. If you go there to collect the recipes, you should be able to get twice the result with half the effort."
"Shi Tou, what do you think?" Mu Chen turned his head and asked Ye Shi.
Ye Shi rolled his eyes and said, "You can go!" Ye Shi leaned close to Mu Chen's ear and said, "You can make money."
Mu Chen frowned and thought to himself: Shitou seems to be very worried that the two of them will become poor ghosts! In fact, he still has some sense.
Cheng Wanbai looked at the intimate interaction between Ye Shi and Muchen, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
"Thank you for your advice, Miss. I will go and take a look when I have time." Mu Chen said to Cheng Wanbai.
Cheng Wanbai said disapprovingly, "It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. Today just so happens that the Low-level Alchemist Guild is holding an exchange meeting. Why don't you come with me to take a look, Master Mu?"
Mu Chen frowned, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen and said, "Let's go and take a look."
Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.
Cheng Wanbai frowned when she looked at Ye Shi, but when she looked at Muchen, her smiling face returned to normal.
Mu Chen and Ye Shi followed Cheng Wanbai into the low-level alchemist guild. Ye Shi looked around curiously.
Ye Shi discovered that there were many elderly people in the Alchemist Guild. It would be difficult for an alchemist to achieve anything without someone to lead him. Many alchemists would only be first-level alchemists throughout their entire lives.
"Ms. Cheng, you're here? Who is this?" Cang Yu frowned and asked in a somewhat unfriendly tone.
Cheng Wanbai was obviously very popular. As soon as she entered the door, several young men in alchemist robes immediately surrounded her. Some of them looked at Mu Chen with unfriendly eyes.
"This is Mu Chen. He has just passed the second-level alchemist certification and is now a second-level alchemist." Cheng Wanbai introduced him to several people.
Hearing Cheng Wanbai's words, the faces of the young men were immediately filled with jealousy.
"It's Mr. Mu! Nice to meet you." Cang Yu smiled at Mu Chen somewhat reluctantly.
"Nice to meet you." Mu Chen nodded lightly at Cang Yu.
Cang Yu narrowed his eyes. He was already able to refine second-level pills. However, when he was certified, he had to go through the certification at the Alchemist Guild. Each certification gave him only five chances to refine pills. Cang Yu was always unable to adapt to the new environment. He had taken the certification at the Alchemist Guild three times, but always ended in failure, wasting a lot of Yuanshi in vain.
"Cang Yu, you have to work hard! Become a second-level alchemist as soon as possible." Cheng Wanbai raised his fist and encouraged Cang Yu.
Cang Yu smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss Cheng, for your good wishes. I will do it."
Ye Shi took advantage of the moment when Cheng Wanbai was surrounded by people and pulled Mu Chen out. "Where did you meet this girl?" Ye Shi asked in a stern tone.
"Before, when I was at the Alchemist Guild, I met her there for certification." Mu Chen said.
Ye Shi puffed out his cheeks and widened his eyes.
Mu Chen pinched Ye Shi's face and said, "Okay, I have nothing to do with her. Let's go and have a look around."
Ye Shi nodded and followed Mu Chen.
Probably because of the guild's activities, hundreds of alchemists gathered in the Low-level Alchemist Guild. Many low-level alchemists gathered in groups of three or four to discuss something.
"Hello, gentlemen. This is your first time here, right? Is there anything I can help you with?" A maid in white walked towards them and asked.
Ye Shi couldn't wait to say, "I heard you can make money here."
The girl in white twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, her smile froze for a moment, and then returned to normal.
"Please follow me," the white-clothed girl led Ye Shi and Muchen to a light curtain. "On this light curtain, there are many questions asked by low-level alchemists. Each question has a specific reward. As long as you answer the question and the person who asked the question confirms that the answer is correct, these Yuanshi will be yours."
"What if the answer is correct, but the person who set the question doesn't admit it?" Ye Shi said a little worriedly.
"You can rest assured about this question. Our guild has several senior alchemists to judge. As long as they verify that your answer is passed, the Yuanshi can still be distributed." The maid in white explained lightly.
"We are about to leave. How are we going to get the money?" Ye Shi continued to ask.
The girl in white said calmly, "That's not a problem. You can register a Yuanshi card account with us, and the Yuanshi can be directly transferred to your Yuanshi card."
Ye Shi blinked, leaned over, and whispered to Muchen, "This is great! I just looked at the light screen. Many of the questions have rewards of several hundred Yuanshi, and some even have rewards of over a thousand. As long as you can answer them, these Yuanshi will be free."
Mu Chen: “…”
The woman in white looked at Ye Shi and smiled disdainfully in her heart. The rewards for many questions on the light screen were very high, but the higher the reward, the more difficult the question was to solve. Although these problems all belonged to the category of first- and second-level elixirs, even third-, fourth-, or even fifth-level alchemists would find it difficult to solve the problems here. It was not so easy to make money from Yuanshi.
Although she thought so in her heart, the girl in white still very responsibly instructed Mu Chen: "You can answer the questions here."
Mu Chen nodded and said, "Thank you."
Ye Shi came closer to Mu Chen and said, "I'll help you choose the questions, and you answer them."
Mu Chen nodded and said, "Okay."
Ye Shi knew nothing about potions, but this did not hinder his choice. After all, Ye Shi knew the numbers behind each bounty, and he would not choose just because the bounty was high. He would also filter out questions that were written in a confusing manner and difficult to understand.
Mu Chen stood in front of the light curtain, looking thoughtfully at the topic chosen by Ye Shi, and occasionally picking up a pen to write something.
Cheng Wanbai walked towards the two of them, stood next to Ye Shi, and said, "The questions you picked all have high rewards!"
Ye Shi was startled by the sudden appearance of the person.
"Ms. Cheng." Ye Shi called out with some resentment.
Cheng Wanbai said to Ye Shi, "Young Master Ye, for this question, it's not about choosing the one with the highest reward. Many of those with high rewards have been offered for several years. In fact, many of these questions didn't start with such high rewards. Instead, other alchemists saw the question and wanted to know the answer, so they added a reward. Questions like these are usually very difficult to answer."
Ye Shi blinked and said, "Is that so?"
Cheng Wanbai smiled and said, "In fact, instead of wasting time on those difficult questions, it's better to answer more simple ones with lower rewards."
Ye Shi opened his eyes wide and said, "It's okay. Mu Chen knows everything. No matter how difficult the questions are, they won't stump him."
Cheng Wanbai looked at Ye Shi and said, "Do you really have confidence in him?"
Ye Shi nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Of course. Uncle Yuanfeng said that Muchen is a genius."
"Who is Uncle Yuanfang? The master of potions?" Cang Yu walked up to Ye Shi with his arms folded and asked.
Ye Shi shrugged and said, "Uncle Yuanfeng is Mu Chen's father."
Cang Yu chuckled, and Ye Shi glared at Cang Yu fiercely.
