Chapter 69 Unexpected Invitation
"Are you looking for an inn?" Bilin asked Mu Chen and Ye Shi, who looked exhausted.
Ye Shi nodded and said gloomily, "Yes! Inns in the imperial capital are expensive and hard to find."
"Yes! We are quite lucky. We found a small courtyard as soon as we arrived. There is just enough room for one person, and 500 yuan stones a day." Bilin blinked and said with some relief.
When Ye Shi heard Bilin's words, he couldn't help but look at a few people with envy, "You are so lucky." Ye Shi said sincerely. After asking around, he found that the cheapest inn cost 600 yuan stones a day.
Bilin glanced at Mu Hong and the others and said, "Housing in the capital is very tight. Otherwise, you and Mu Hong..."
Mu Hong frowned and interrupted Bilin, saying, "My room is small. Besides, if Brother Chen wants to practice at night, I'm afraid he'll be disturbed by my snoring."
Seeing Mu Hong's attitude, Brin couldn't help but frown. Ever since the Polingdan incident, it was rumored that the relationship between Mu Yuanhang and Mu Yuanfeng had reached a freezing point. Now it seems that this is very likely to be true.
Shui Qiancheng said disapprovingly: "Mu Hong, don't be so..." How unkind!
Mu Chen smiled and interrupted Shui Qiancheng, saying, "It's okay. I don't like living with other people either. It's better for Shitou and I to find somewhere else to live."
…………
"Is that Young Master Muchen?" As a few people were talking, a middle-aged man walked towards them and greeted them.
Mu Chen nodded and said, "Yes!"
Mu Chen looked at the visitor with some confusion. The visitor looked extraordinary, but Mu Chen did not remember having any friendship with such a person.
"Senior Fu wrote a letter to our president a few days ago, saying that you might arrive in the near future and asking our president to treat you well. Are you looking for an inn, Mr. Mu? You are a guest of our guild, and our guild has specially prepared a place for you to stay. You can stay in our guild." The middle-aged man said attentively.
Ye Shi opened his eyes wide and asked in surprise, "Your guild also provides accommodation?"
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Yes!"
"Free?" Ye Shi asked with shining eyes.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Of course."
"Thank you, senior." Mu Chen said with a faint smile.
"Mr. Mu, please follow me." The middle-aged man said to Mu Chen in a friendly manner.
Ye Shi blinked and was unable to recover for a long time. Mu Chen pulled Ye Shi, and Ye Shi staggered to follow.
"Didn't the guild president tell us before that if you join the guild, you can get a free house!" Ye Shi whispered to Muchen.
Mu Chen nodded and said, "Yes!"
"That low-level alchemist guild is really smart! If that old man had told us earlier that there were free houses to live in, we wouldn't have had to think about it for so long." Ye Shi said with a pout.
Mu Chen: “…”
Mu Hong and others watched Mu Chen and Ye Shi leave, each with a strange look on their face.
"Senior, what is the Low-Level Alchemist Guild?" After seeing Muchen and Ye Shi disappear, Bilin came back to her senses and asked Qian Dongting.
"The Low-level Alchemist Guild is a platform for low-level alchemists to communicate. Although most of the people in the guild are low-level pharmacists, the influence of this guild is still very large. Many senior pharmacists were members of the Low-level Alchemist Guild when they were young." Qian Dongting said.
"Is it easy to be a guest official of a low-level alchemist guild?" Bilin asked.
Qian Dongting shook his head and said, "It's not easy, not at all. It's not easy for a third-level alchemist to become a guest official of a low-level alchemist guild."
Shui Qiancheng asked Mu Hong in confusion, "When did Mu Chen become a guest official of the Low-level Alchemist Guild?"
Mu Hong shook his head, "I don't know."
Mu Hong lowered his head, thinking to himself: When Mu Chen left the Mu family, he was just a first-level alchemist! How on earth did he catch the attention of the higher-ups in the low-level alchemist guild? Could it be that they were dazzled?
"Mu Chen, this guy is really amazing." Bilin said sincerely.
Shui Qiancheng nodded and said in agreement: "That's right."
Mu Hong lowered his head, unable to conceal the jealousy in his eyes.
…………
"Mr. Mu, this is the house our guild provides you. What do you think of it?" asked the middle-aged man.
"Very good, very good. Thank you for your trouble, President." Mu Chen couldn't help but say. The other party was so attentive that Mu Chen couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Mr. Mu, if you have any needs, you can tell me. You're welcome." The middle-aged man said gently.
Mu Chen forced a smile and said, "Thank you very much."
As soon as the middle-aged man left, Ye Shi couldn't wait to open the door.
"Not bad, not bad, really not bad." Ye Shi said happily.
Mu Chen smiled and thought to himself: Ye Shi is a guy who thinks everything is good as long as it is free.
"It's still early, why don't we go out for a walk?" Mu Chen suggested.
Ye Shi straightened up suddenly and said with great energy, "You want to do the exercises to make money? That's fine!"
Mu Chen: “…” How worried is Ye Shi about not having enough food to eat?
"Let's go out and take a look first." Mu Chen said.
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Okay."
Mu Chen and Ye Shi walked to the low-level pharmacist's union and found that there was a large group of people gathered at the door of the guild. Many of them came to buy Chongyuan Dan.
After some inquiries, Ye Shi found out that Chongyuan Dan was a kind of elixir recently developed by the Pharmacist Guild. It could help martial artists to practice. Many disciples of large families had been taking elixirs since childhood. After taking a certain elixir for a long time, they would develop resistance to it. At this time, changing to another elixir would have a miraculous effect.
Right now, Holy Star Academy is about to start recruiting students, and many people are preparing for the recruitment. As soon as Chongyuan Pills appeared, they were immediately sold out.
"I've inquired about it. This Chongyuan Pill costs two thousand Yuanshi each, and many people buy it." Ye Shi said solemnly.
Mu Chen nodded and said, "Really?"
"Mu Chen, can you refine Chongyuan Dan? If you can, we will make it." Ye Shi couldn't help but said with shining eyes.
Mu Chen sighed helplessly and said, "Shi Tou, the recipe for this Chong Yuan Dan is said to have been developed by an elder from the Low-level Pharmacist Guild. How could I possibly refine it without the recipe?"
Ye Shi sighed in disappointment, "I don't know who this elder is. He's so secretive, he's probably not a good person."
Mu Chen: “…”
"Although he is not a good person, he is really good at making money!" Ye Shi was silent for a while, then said with emotion.
Mu Chen: “…”
Mu Chen spent two thousand Yuanshi to buy a Chongyuan Pill, which made Ye Shi's heart beat fast with worry.
Mu Chen held the pill, and a little doubt flashed through his mind. This pill seemed...
"Mr. Mu, the president is affectionate." A maid walked up to Mu Chen and said.
Mu Chen put away the pill and said calmly, "Please lead the way."
Mu Chen and Ye Shi followed the maid into a study.
"Greetings, Mr. President." Mu Chen pulled Ye Shi and said respectfully.
Ye Shi lowered his head, raised his eyes, and secretly looked at the people in the study.
"Please sit down, little brothers. You're welcome." Xie Qiong said with a smile.
Ye Shi looked at the smile on Xie Qiong's face and felt that this man was smiling like an old fox.
"Thank you, senior." Mu Chen pulled Ye Shi and sat down in the hall.
"This is the recipe for Chongyuan Pill." Xie Qiong handed the recipe to Mu Chen.
Ye Shi widened his eyes, looking at Xie Qiong in disbelief as he handed the pill formula to Muchen. How could Xie Qiong... Isn't this pill formula a secret of the low-level alchemist guild?
"This is..." Mu Chen couldn't help but frowned.
"That's right. This is the recipe for the improved Lieyuan Pill that you wrote down when you were answering questions in our guild. Although the Lieyuan Pill can also increase Yuanli, it can easily cause damage to the meridians, so it is not often used." Xie Qiong said.
Ye Shi's eyes widened. Xie Qiong, this guy, stole Mu Chen's pill formula and showed it off in front of Mu Chen in broad daylight.
"I'm sorry. I should have discussed the use of your recipe with you, but I haven't been able to contact you." Xie Qiong said apologetically.
Mu Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "It's okay. I just don't understand. If this recipe is correct, shouldn't it have been made public by now?"
"Your question has not passed the review. The person who set it is an elder of my guild." Xie Qiong explained.
Mu Chen suddenly understood. If his writing had not been approved, others would not be able to see it. However, the guild manager could see it. What a shady deal! Shady deals, there are shady deals everywhere. It was a pity that the low-level alchemist guild was still doing well.
"I have two plans for you now." Xie Qiong said.
Mu Chen raised his head and asked, "What?"
"One plan is that 10% of the income from the sale of Chongyuan Pills by the guild will belong to you. Another plan is that the guild will pay 500,000 yuan stones to buy out your pill formula." Xie Qiong said lightly with his hands behind his back.
"I choose to buy it out." Mu Chen said without hesitation.
Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen anxiously, his eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Mu Chen, do you know how to do the math?" Chongyuan Dan is selling so well, it seems like he is making money from the commission!
Mu Chen couldn't help feeling guilty when Ye Shi stared at him.
