Chapter 80: Sky-high Reward
In the Blazing Flame Pavilion.
"Ridiculous, ridiculous, ridiculous." Ye Shi gritted his teeth and walked around the room, his eyes glowing red with anger.
Ye Shi clenched his fists. Those idiots actually said that he was in love with Lan Ruofeng!
He just wanted to kill this guy now. If the academy had not forbade students from fighting privately, he would have done it long ago.
There are actually people who say that Mu Chen really likes Zhuang Yu and is just playing around with him. Bastards, bastards, a bunch of bastards, they only know how to talk nonsense. Mu Chen and Zhuang Yu have no relationship anymore.
"Disciple, what are you doing?" Jing Chiyan walked into the house and asked.
Ye Shi blushed, walked forward, and respectfully called out, "Master."
"I heard that you had a fight with Zhuang Yu?" Jing Chiyan asked leisurely, sitting in a chair with interest.
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yes!"
"I heard that you won the argument! Why are you so depressed?" Jing Chiyan asked.
Ye Shi gritted his teeth and said in annoyance, "It's still those people who said I like Lan Ruofeng and that I hate him because of my love for him. How could I possibly like that villain? Lan Ruofeng knows how to use witchcraft. Moreover, he plotted against Mu Chen. He's a hypocrite with a sanctimonious appearance."
Jing Chiyan smiled and said, "Disciple, what's the point of being so angry? If you have this time, you might as well practice hard. When you are stronger than them, you will always find a chance to deal with those you hate."
A glint flashed in Ye Shi's eyes, and then he nodded solemnly and said, "Master, you are right. I will go buy some materials for cultivation."
Ye Shi rushed out happily, thinking secretly: Only strength is the hard truth. Why does what the master says work and why does everyone listen to it? Isn’t it because my master is so strong?
…………
"Uncle Master, Junior Brother, you are so cute!" A woman in red walked in.
Jing Chiyan smiled and said, "Cute, I didn't realize that. This kid is young and impulsive. I heard that Shi Ziyu's disciple was scolded by him and cried bitterly. Even Shuang'er is a man. I don't know what kind of character he has. He cries when he is scolded. "
The girl in red smiled and said, "Master is right! Zhuang Yu's personality is a little weak."
Jing Chiyan sneered and said, "That kid is really good at pretending. Just like his master Shi Ziyu, he's a fake immortal. He just pretends to seduce people. By the way, I asked you to investigate Mu Chen's case. How's it going?"
Xin Ruge frowned and said, "Mu Chen is really a bit strange."
"What do you mean?" Jing Chiyan asked.
"I checked, and just as Junior Brother said, he is indeed an alchemist, and a second-level alchemist at that."
"I went to Mo City and investigated Mu Chen's life. I found out that more than a year ago, he was uneducated and just a playboy. He did have some unclear relationship with Zhuang Yu. But for some reason, more than a year ago, he suddenly changed. Then, his strength increased rapidly, and he became an alchemist. He also kept his distance from Zhuang Yu." Xin Ruge said.
"Is there any progress on whether he can make talismans?" Jing Chiyan asked.
Xin Ruge shook her head and said, "No, there is no indication that Mu Chen has learned to make talismans before."
Jing Chiyan smiled bitterly and said, "Your junior brother said that Mu Chen learned how to make talismans in just one day."
"If this is true, then this Mu Chen is definitely a genius." Xin Ruge said after a moment of silence.
Jing Chiyan sneered and said disapprovingly, "A genius is just someone who knows some unorthodox skills. It's nothing. By the way, your junior brother said that Mu Chen originally applied for the Alchemy Academy, but someone tampered with his application and assigned him to the Talisman Academy. Is that true?"
"Indeed, Landa is in charge of admissions at the Alchemy Academy. He tampered with the application and placed Muchen's application list at the Fu Academy. Even Fan Li, who is in charge of review at the Fu Academy, seems to have some connections with Landa." Xin Ruge smiled bitterly. It was not easy for Muchen to get into the Holy Star Academy.
"The situation over at the Academy of Arts is chaotic. For the sake of Muchen, they actually made such a big move. People from both academies are involved. If this continues, the reputation of the Holy Star Academy will be ruined by these bastards." Jing Chiyan snorted coldly.
Xin Ruge smiled and said, "Junior brother, it seems that at the auction of the Spring Breeze and Rain Talisman at Baibaotang, Junior brother left behind the video of Mu Chen testing it. Fan Li's reputation is going to be ruined this time."
Jing Chiyan sneered and said, "That's what he deserves. This guy is very petty. Mu Chen sent him to the Huang class. It's better to let him lose face."
…………
Ye Shi stood in the shop of Holy Star Academy, looking at the price of beast blood in the shop, and his heart twitched.
In the past, buying beast blood was Mu Chen's responsibility, and Ye Shi was only responsible for using it. Mu Chen always said it wasn't expensive, and Ye Shi just assumed it really was. However, judging by the price of beast blood at the academy, Mu Chen was simply talking nonsense! Ye Shi lowered his head. He used to think that Mu Chen spent money like water, and he didn't know where it went. Now that he thought about it, Mu Chen spent quite a bit on him.
"Stone." Mu Chen called out.
Ye Shi turned his head and saw Mu Chen, his face suddenly filled with anxiety.
Ye Shi had heard people say more than once that he had a bad attitude and no image when he scolded Zhuang Yu this time, just like a shrew. Ye Shi could ignore other people's attitudes, but he could not ignore Muchen's attitude.
"Is there something wrong?" Ye Shi asked a little stiffly.
"There's something going on. Let's talk about it outside." Mu Chen thought for a while and said. Ye Shi nodded and followed Mu Chen out silently.
"Senior Qian Dongting is going back to Mo City this afternoon. If you have anything to bring to Uncle Chen, you can ask him for help. We have been out for so long, my father and Uncle Chen must be very worried." Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi and said.
Ye Shi blinked his eyes and said excitedly, "Can I bring something to Uncle Chen? That would be great..." Ye Shi paused and said, "You asked me out just for this."
Mu Chen nodded and said, "Yes! Otherwise, what do you think it is?"
"No, nothing..." Ye Shi said vaguely. He thought Mu Chen was looking for him about Zhuang Yu.
"Have you heard about the quarrel between Zhuang Yu and I?" Ye Shi tried to hold back for a while, but still couldn't help but say.
Mu Chen nodded and said, "I heard about it."
"Are you angry?" Ye Shi asked cautiously.
Mu Chen ruffled Ye Shi's hair and said, "You haven't suffered any loss, so why should I be angry? It's just that Zhuang Yu has many suitors, and if you do this, you will easily become a target of public criticism." Zhuang Yu has the aura of a protagonist! Many rumors outside now are mostly biased towards Zhuang Yu.
Ye Shi curled his lips and said, "I'm not afraid."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go." Mu Chen said.
Ye Shi nodded and responded, "Okay."
"Mu Chen, I've inquired about it. There will be an opportunity to transfer to another hospital in three months. As long as you pass the assessment, you will have the opportunity to transfer from the Fu Academy to the Dan Academy." Ye Shi said thoughtfully.
Mu Chen said nonchalantly, "There's no rush. Refining a third-level elixir requires at least the cultivation level of a three-star martial artist. Refining a second-level elixir is no problem for me. I just want to study talismans before I advance to a three-star martial artist. I'm also very interested in talismans."
Ye Shi nodded and said, "It's up to you to decide."
Mu Chen lowered his head. Fan Li from Fu Academy had lost face because of him, and he disliked him no matter what. Dan Academy was not a good place. Fan Li was just an ordinary tutor in Fu Academy. However, Lan Ruofeng's uncle Lan Da was an important figure in Dan Academy.
Instead of going to the Alchemy Academy, it would be better to stay in the Fu Academy. Anyway, what he needs is not the guidance of a mentor, but the vast amount of knowledge in the books of the Holy Star Academy. It is really expensive to read those books!
…………
Ye Shi watched Qian Dongting and others go away, and several different expressions flashed in his eyes.
"Mu Chen, what did you give Qian Dongting?" Ye Shi asked from the side.
Mu Chen shrugged and said a little embarrassedly: "I originally wanted to buy some local specialties, but I have almost squandered all my Yuanshi, so I had no choice but to give away some of my alchemy experience."
Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen with a strange expression and said, "Your father is a third-level alchemist, and you are a second-level alchemist. How can your alchemy experience help your father? This gift of yours is too insincere."
Mu Chen sighed helplessly and said, "There's nothing I can do about it. I don't have any Yuanshi anymore."
"No Yuanshi, how pitiful." Ye Shi shook his head with some regret. "By the way, I heard that several people have already bid on the Spring Breeze and Rain Talisman that you asked me to auction earlier. Why don't we go and sell it now?"
Mu Chen shook his head and said, "No rush. Two days won't make a difference. There should still be people who haven't bid yet. Let's wait until tomorrow night. Many people like to bid at the last minute."
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Okay. By the way, I heard that there is a mission hall in Holy Star Academy where you can take on missions and earn Yuanshi. Let's go and take a look."
Mu Chen nodded and responded, "Okay."
Ye Shi and Muchen walked to the mission hall and found that many alchemists were there. There was a bounty at the top of the list in the mission hall, which intimidated many people.
"Looking to buy a second-level elixir. Requirements: An elixir that can help tame monsters and make them obsessed. One hundred thousand Yuan Shi per elixir."
Ye Shi opened his eyes wide and said, "Mu Chen, a second-level elixir costs 100,000 yuan worth of stones."
Mu Chen smiled helplessly and said, "Primordial Stones are not easy to come by. The only elixir that can meet this person's standards is the Beast Spirit Pill in history, but the Beast Spirit Pill has been extinct for thousands of years."
Ye Shi scratched his head and said, "What should we do then?"
Mu Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "This person didn't explicitly say that he needed the Beast Spirit Pill. As long as it can help tame the monster beast, maybe we can try other methods."
"One stone costs 100,000 yuan. You have to think of a way!" Ye Shi warned seriously.
Mu Chen nodded and said, "I know."
Mu Chen narrowed his eyes. Sure enough, there were a lot of wealthy people in Holy Star Academy! A hundred thousand Yuan stones for a level two pill—someone actually dared to offer such a price.
