Chapter 39 The Second Visit
"Shi Tou, these are the two roast chickens you asked for." The restaurant's chef said to Ye Shi.
Ye Shi nodded and said with satisfaction: "Okay."
Ye Shi put two lotus leaf chickens into the food box. The fragrance of the lotus leaf chickens kept wafting out. Ye Shi took a lot of effort to resist eating the lotus leaf chickens in the box.
Chen Da looked at Ye Shi coming out with a food box, frowned, and said helplessly: "Shi Tou, just take two roast chickens to see Master Mu Chen."
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yes!"
Chen Da looked at Ye Shi helplessly and said, "Isn't it too shabby?"
"It's not shabby! Two roast chickens cost six Yuan stones, which cost me six days' salary. I hope Mu Chen doesn't have a big appetite and leaves one roast chicken for me." Ye Shi muttered with his eyes blinking.
Chen Da looked at Ye Shi with a pale face.
Ye Shi looked at Chen Da and asked in confusion: "Uncle Chen, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Da shook his head and said, "Nothing, just don't talk nonsense when you meet Young Master Muchen."
Ye Shi blinked his eyes and said, "Why did I say such nonsense?"
Chen Da looked at Ye Shi with a helpless look on his face.
Ye Shi rolled his eyes and whispered, "Uncle Chen, yesterday's cake has been divided up."
Chen Da nodded and said, "Yes! You said you couldn't finish it, so I shared it all." He originally wanted to keep some, but everyone liked it so much that he couldn't keep any.
Ye Shi bit his lip and said, "What a pity."
The spiritual fruits on the cake are all second-grade spiritual fruits. If you want to buy them, you need five or six Yuanshi each!
The ingredients used in the cake should also be second-level ingredients. When I put it in my mouth, it was full of spiritual energy. I was too impulsive yesterday. It was all because of that Zhuang Yu. If he hadn't come over and said all those nonsense, how could I have been so upset.
Ye Shi left with the food box. Chen Da looked at Ye Shi's receding back and frowned worriedly.
Ye Shi walked to the door of the Mu family with a lunch box and knocked.
Thinking of what happened last time, Ye Shi couldn't help but frown.
A servant came out and saw Ye Shi. He was stunned for a moment, then said, "You are Young Master Ye Shi."
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yes! Do you know me? Are you new here?" Ye Shi remembered the servant from last time, whose eyes were on top of his head, and the look on his face was full of disgust.
The servant nodded and said, "Yes! I'm new here. My name is Wang Da. The servant from last time was disrespectful to Master Ye and has been sent away by the Second Master."
Ye Shi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the servant's words. Was he sent away? "Second Master?"
"It's Mr. Mu Yuanfeng, the second master of Mu!" said the servant.
Ye Shi nodded and said "Oh". He rolled his eyes. He never thought that Mu Yuanfeng would hire a servant for him.
"You are here to see Young Master Muchen, right? Please come in first." Wang Darang made way and said attentively.
Ye Shi felt a little at a loss with the servant's respectful attitude, and followed Wang Da inside awkwardly.
When Ren San saw Ye Shi being led in by Wang Da, his face suddenly became more cheerful. "Young Master Ye, you're here. Are you here to see Young Master Mu?"
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yes! Is he here?"
"The young master has gone to make elixirs with the second master, and he will be back in a while. Let me take you to the young master's study first. If the young master knows you are here, he will definitely be happy." Ren Sandao.
Ye Shi rolled his eyes and asked, "Is Mu Chen refining the elixir smoothly?"
Ren San gave a bitter smile and said, "I'm not sure about this either. It probably wasn't going particularly smoothly. However, alchemy is never supposed to be smooth sailing. My young master has only just started learning."
Ye Shi nodded and said, "That's right. Everything is difficult at the beginning. Has he been working very hard recently?"
"Yes! The young master has changed recently and is different from before," said Ren Sandao.
In the past, Mu Chen was busy with cockfighting, horse riding, and a life of debauchery. Now, Mu Chen spends his days either studying alchemy books, learning alchemy from Mu Yuanfeng, or practicing body training. He is busy all day long and has a lot of fun.
"When will Muchen be able to come out?" Ye Shi asked.
"Young Master Muchen's strength is too low. He can only stay in the alchemy room for two hours each time. He should be coming out soon." Ren San replied respectfully.
"Why can I only stay for two hours?" Ye Shi asked puzzledly.
"Because there is fire poison in the earth fire veins, staying there for too long will have an impact on the cultivator. With Young Master Mu Chen's strength, he can only stay there for two hours a day." Ren Sandao.
"Is there any way to solve the fire poison?" Ye Shi asked with a frown.
"I heard that if you can find a special flame and use it for yourself, you won't have to worry about fire poison. However, special flames are something you can only come across by chance." Ren San shook his head and said with some regret.
Ye Shi nodded thoughtfully and said, "Is that so?"
Mu Chen stayed in the alchemy room, with many first-level spiritual herbs placed beside him.
Mu Chen was concentrating on refining the elixir. Now, Mu Chen no longer needed Mu Yuanfeng to demonstrate.
Mu Chen has already learned all three kinds of first-level spiritual liquids and fifteen kinds of first-level elixirs that Mu Yuanfeng mastered. As for the second-level elixirs, with Mu Chen's current strength, he is not yet able to refine them.
Mu Chen controlled his soul power and condensed the liquid in the furnace into a pill.
"Good." Mu Yuanfeng couldn't help but high-five Mu Chen after he finished refining the pill. "Chen'er, the quality of the pills you refined has improved again."
Mu Chen smiled and said modestly, "It's all thanks to my father's good teaching."
Mu Yuanfeng smiled bitterly and said, "I dare not take credit for it. This is all your own good fortune."
Mu Chen's talent is so high that he can learn all the elixirs just by looking at them once. After learning, Mu Chen can constantly make adjustments, gradually improving the quality of the elixirs he refines to high-grade or even top-grade. Mu Yuanfeng has never seen or even heard of such talent.
On the one hand, Mu Yuanfeng was pleased with Mu Chen's achievements, but on the other hand, he felt like a hero in his twilight years.
"Chen'er, your talent in alchemy must never be revealed to anyone else, do you understand?" Mu Yuanfeng said seriously.
Mu Chen nodded and said, "Father, I understand."
Mu Yuanfeng nodded. Mu Chen's talent was too incredible. If such a talent were to be exposed, not only would other families in Mo City not be able to tolerate him, but even the big alchemy families in the imperial capital would not be able to tolerate him.
"It's almost time, let's go out." Mu Yuanfeng said.
Mu Chen nodded and said, "Okay. By the way, Father, what should I do with the pills I refined?"
Mu Yuanfeng put his hands behind his back and said, "I will ask someone to sell them in batches and tell others that they were made by me."
Mu Yuanfeng is a third-level alchemist who can refine first-level pills in batches. It is not surprising that he can produce so many first-level pills at once.
Mu Chen nodded and said, "Okay."
"Don't worry, the Yuanshi sold from refining the elixir will be deposited into your account." Mu Yuanfeng patted Mu Chen's shoulder and said with a smile.
Mu Chen smiled shyly and said, "With you, father, protecting me, I have nothing to worry about."
Mu Chen followed Mu Yuanfeng out. When Ren San saw Mu Chen coming out, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Greetings, Second Master, Young Master Chen."
Mu Yuanfeng looked at the hurried Ren San, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Is there something you want to talk to your master about?"
"It's not a big deal. Young Master Ye Shi is here." Ren San said respectfully.
Mu Chen's face suddenly lit up with joy. "What did you say? Shi Tou came. When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Where is he now?"
Mu Yuanfeng looked at Mu Chen's excitement and said helplessly, "Take it easy."
"Young Master, you were refining the elixir, and I didn't dare disturb you. I arranged for Young Master Ye to wait for you in the study. I also asked the kitchen to send pastries to Young Master Ye Shi." Ren San replied immediately.
"Father, I'm leaving first." Mu Chen said hello to Mu Yuanfeng and ran away in a hurry.
Mu Yuanfeng looked at Mu Chen's back and shook his head helplessly, "What a young fool, so impulsive, he forgot about his father now that he has a wife."
…………
In the study.
"Young Master Ye, do you need any other pastries?" a maid asked respectfully, her eyes secretly staring at Ye Shi from time to time.
Ye Shi blinked and said, "Do you have that cake?"
The maid frowned and said, "Cake?"
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yes! Mu Chen brought some for me to eat."
"That's the young master's unique skill. None of the chefs in the kitchen can do it." The maid shook her head.
Ye Shi opened his eyes wide and said, "It was really Mu Chen who did it!"
The maid nodded and said, "Yes! The kitchen master said that Young Master Muchen has the talent to become a high-level spiritual chef. However, Young Master Muchen doesn't seem to have much interest in becoming a high-level spiritual chef."
Ye Shi rolled his eyes and thought to himself: I really misunderstood Mu Chen. It turns out that guy can really bake cakes.
