Chapter 92: Hot
As the dawn broke, Ye Shi walked out of the stone cave. His promotion to a four-star martial artist made Ye Shi in a very good mood. He was so happy that even when he saw Xiong Wei, Ye Shi was still in a good mood.
"Hey, both of you have been promoted to four-star martial artists? You must have taken drugs." Xiong Wei crossed his arms and looked at Ye Shi and Muchen.
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yes! I took one, and it tasted great. Mu Chen said I could only take one at most and wouldn't take more."
Xiong Wei: “…”
"Since both of you have improved your strength, the weight of those stones must no longer be a challenge for you. Go and move that pile." Xiong Weiyang pointed to a pile of heavier stones.
Ye Shi's face was dark and he looked depressed.
"This isn't fair. There are so many people in this quarry, why are you only targeting us?" Ye Shi said indignantly. He didn't believe Zhuang Yu would just move the stones! This damn old man was clearly showing favoritism.
Xiong Wei smiled brightly at Ye Shi and said, "Why am I staring at you? Because I'm optimistic about you!"
Ye Shi looked at Xiong Wei's smile and trembled with anger.
Mu Chen tugged at Ye Shi's arm and said, "Okay, let's go."
Ye Shi glared at Xiong Wei fiercely.
"This guy is having an affair with Shi Ziyu, so he doesn't like us. He is standing up for Shi Ziyu." Ye Shi whispered to Mu Chen.
As soon as Ye Shi finished speaking, a wine gourd hit him hard on the head.
Ye Shi held his head and screamed.
Xiong Wei put his hands on his hips, looked at the two of them, and said, "You two, just behave yourself. I'm not only watching you with my eyes, I'm watching you with my ears too. You little brats, you don't know anything, you just talk nonsense."
Ye Shi looked at Xiong Wei with a depressed look. Xiong Wei said unhappily, "What are you looking at? Get out of here."
Mu Chen pulled Ye Shi away. After Ye Shi had walked for quite a while, he complained to Mu Chen, "That old man's wine gourd has a foot odor that's killing me."
Mu Chen looked back and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense. Be careful not to attract him again."
Ye Shi's eyes moved left and right, and he was obviously feeling guilty.
…………
At night.
Ye Shi stretched his aching body and said angrily, "Mu Chen, that old guy might have been kicked by Shi Ziyu, so he was angry and tormented me today."
Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi's angry expression and said helplessly, "Alright, stop talking."
Ye Shi sat down next to Mu Chen and muttered, "Don't you think this is very likely?"
"Yes, you are right. It is very likely that the old guy has a face that is born to be kicked. Shi Ziyu may have kicked him more than once or twice." Mu Chen agreed.
Ye Shi happily hugged Mu Chen's arm and said, "That's great, we think the same thing."
Mu Chen: “…”
"Try this." Mu Chen said.
Upon hearing this, Ye Shi obediently activated the Fire Talisman in his hand, "Hey, the quality of this talisman has improved!"
Previously, what they got from the Talisman Master Association for appraisal was a modified second-level Flame Talisman, but the one in his hand was a third-level Flame Talisman. This third-level Flame Talisman also contained the essence of the sun, but the intensity of the flame contained in it was dozens of times richer than the previous second-level talisman.
"When did you make this thing? I see you are very busy all day long!" Ye Shi asked in confusion.
"As for time, there's always time to squeeze it in," Muchen said with a smile. Back then, he'd used his spare time to learn five foreign languages!
Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen with admiration and said, "You are amazing."
Mu Chen shrugged and said, "Not bad. Take advantage of these few days to find a way to absorb the solar essence fire in the talisman and cultivate it into the original fire. The second stage of the Hundred Refinements Body Art requires the use of fire to temper the physique."
Ye Shi nodded obediently and said, "Okay."
…………
"Jing Chiyan, what a rare guest!" Xiong Wei looked at the visitor and said with a forced smile.
Jing Chiyan frowned, looked at Xiong Wei, and said, "Brother Xiong, how is my apprentice?"
"He's fine! I'm taking care of him, aren't you worried?" Xiong Wei said, shaking his feet and looking like he deserved a beating.
Jing Chiyan smiled helplessly. He was still worried even though Xiong Wei was taking care of him!
"Brother Xiong, it took me a lot of effort to accept such a disciple." Jing Chiyan said solemnly.
Xiong Wei raised his eyebrows and said disapprovingly, "Really? I heard that your apprentice was almost killed by Shi Ziyu."
Jing Chiyan's expression changed and he said, "This is my fault."
Xiong Wei lazily took a sip of his wine and said, "How rare! You admit your mistakes. But don't worry, your apprentice is doing really well. He follows Mu Chen ghost all day long. I think he's so happy that he doesn't want to leave. He even took drugs today and has been promoted to a fourth-level martial artist."
"Taking drugs? Enhancement pills?" Jing Chiyan asked.
Xiong Wei nodded and said, "It seems so."
"Mu Chen, you even got this kind of elixir." Jing Chiyan said with narrowed eyes.
Xiong Wei shrugged and said, "This guy is indeed a little unusual."
"Can I go in and see my apprentice?" Jing Chiyan asked.
"No!" Xiong Wei said decisively.
Jing Chiyan shook his head helplessly and said, "You really are..." stubborn!
…………
Jing Chiyan and Xiong Wei exchanged greetings for a long time, but Xiong Wei still refused to give in. Helplessly, Jing Chiyan had to leave first.
"Uncle Master, the Dean of the Alchemy Academy, Lu Han, is here." Xin Ruge immediately stepped forward when she saw Jing Chiyan.
"Lu Han?" Jing Chiyan frowned in confusion and asked, "What is this guy doing here?"
Xin Ruge shrugged and said, "I don't know about that."
"Brother Jing." Lu Han stood up immediately when he saw Jing Chiyan.
"Brother Lu, I heard that you were looking for me. Is there anything wrong?" Jing Chiyan asked knowingly.
Lu Han said somewhat embarrassedly: "To be honest, I came here to ask Brother Jing for help."
Jing Chiyan narrowed his eyes and said, "You're looking for my help. How can I be of assistance?"
"Brother Jing, I think you also know that Muchen is an alchemist, and he should be a third-level alchemist. The Beast Spirit Pill was made by him. With such an outstanding alchemy talent, he should not waste his time in Fuyuan. When he comes out of the quarry, the transfer to another hospital will begin. I hope Brother Jing can help persuade Muchen. It is a pity for him to stay in Fuyuan with such an alchemy talent as his," said Lu Han.
Jing Chiyan said with a forced smile, "Me? How could I have such a big face as to let Muchen listen to me?"
"Brother Jing, don't be so modest. Your apprentice is Mu Chen's fiancée. No one can have more face than you." Lu Han said with compliments.
Jing Chiyan: "..." According to Lu Han, the reason why he had face was because of his apprentice.
"I heard that Mu Chen originally applied for your Alchemy Academy!" Jing Chiyan said coldly.
Lu Han's expression changed, and he said, "This is indeed a misunderstanding."
"It turns out to be a misunderstanding!" Jing Chiyan said sarcastically.
…………
"Uncle Master, what is Lu Han doing here?" Seeing Lu Han walk out, Xin Ruge walked in and asked.
"What else can he do? He wants to steal people from Fuyuan." Jing Chiyan shrugged and said unhappily.
Xin Ruge narrowed her eyes and said, "Mu Chen is an alchemist. Perhaps the Alchemy Academy is more suitable for his development."
Jing Chiyan rolled his eyes and said, "Mu Chen's ability in alchemy is good, but his talent in making talismans is equally outstanding. Have you seen the appraisal results from the Talisman Academy? That talisman may be able to extract the sun's essence fire!" The Talisman Academy has been silent for a long time. I heard that Song Cheng has come out of seclusion. If he knew that there was such a rising star in the Talisman Academy, he would never let him go easily.
"Senior, Senior Song Cheng, the dean of Fu Academy, is here." A student came in to report.
Jing Chiyan raised his eyebrows and said, "What happened today? Lu Han just left and Song Cheng came right after."
"Brother Jing, help!" Song Cheng rushed in with a bitter look on his face.
Jing Chiyan looked at Song Cheng helplessly and said, "Brother Song, what's wrong with you? Are you terminally ill?" Jing Chiyan thought secretly: Song Cheng is becoming more and more shameless. He is already old, but he still imitates women by crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to hang himself.
Song Cheng looked at Jing Chiyan and said with a sad voice, "This matter is a misfortune for our family. I just came out of seclusion and found out that our Fu Academy has produced a peerless genius. Our Fu Academy has been in decline for a long time. We finally produced a peerless genius and were about to make a comeback, but there are shameless people who come to poach us."
Jing Chiyan laughed sarcastically and said, "Don't worry, that peerless genius has been in your Fuyuan for more than a month and has feelings for your Fuyuan. If you persuade him well, he won't leave."
Song Cheng's face suddenly froze. A while ago, he was in seclusion. After he came out and knew about Muchen's affairs, he investigated Muchen. The result of the investigation made Song Cheng want to beat Fan Li to death.
Not only did Fan Li tamper with Muchen's entrance test, but he also targeted him in every way after Muchen entered Fuyuan. Presumably, Muchen's attitude towards Fuyuan was not very good.
Muchen's impression of Fuyuan must be extremely bad. Fortunately, Muchen and Lan Ruofeng had a grudge, and Lan Da also tampered with Muchen's entrance test. Muchen's impression of Danyuan must not be very good either.
"Speaking of which, I also have to thank Brother Jing for your keen observation. In the entrance test, you had a keen eye to identify the elite and kept Mu Chen." Song Cheng said gratefully.
"It's nothing, you don't have to be polite. I just value talent and can't bear to see such a genius buried by those of you in Fuyuan who rely on your seniority." Jing Chiyan waved his hand.
Song Cheng's face turned red with embarrassment. After a while, he hugged Jing Chiyan's arm and said, "Brother Jing, I will save him to the end. Please do me a favor and find a way to keep Muchen for me!"
"Mu Chen and I are not related in any way. He may not listen to me." Jing Chiyan said modestly.
"Brother Jing, as long as you speak, he will definitely listen. No, you don't need to speak, as long as your apprentice speaks, it will be fine. Everyone knows that Mu Chen listens to your apprentice the most." Song Chengdao.
Jing Chiyan: “…”
Jing Chiyan and Song Chengxu negotiated for a while and finally sent Song Cheng away.
Jing Chiyan looked at Song Cheng's back and said unhappily, "A bunch of people who don't do their homework normally but only come to study at the last minute."
Xin Ruge crossed her arms, shook her head, and said, "I don't know what Mu Chen will choose when he comes out."
Jing Chiyan narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't be fooled by this kid's good-natured appearance. He's full of evil intentions and holds a grudge!"
Xin Ruge frowned and thought: No matter how much Mu Chen holds a grudge, he will still have to choose between the Alchemy Academy and the Fu Academy.
