Chapter 48: Soul-Breaking Pill Auction
At night.
Ye Shi tossed and turned in bed, occasionally letting out bursts of triumphant laughter.
Chen Da looked at Ye Shi and said helplessly, "Shi Tou, why are you laughing so foolishly alone?"
Ye Shi held his chin and looked at Chen Da, his eyebrows curved as he said, "Uncle Chen, do you know? Mu Chen is a virgin. He is actually still a virgin!"
In fact, Ye Shi had always been brooding over Muchen's past misconduct. When he suddenly found out that Muchen had been impotent, he couldn't help but feel ecstatic.
Chen Da looked at Ye Shi and said in surprise: "No way, I heard that Young Master Muchen..." likes to visit brothels!
"Uncle Mu Yuanfeng told me that. He wouldn't lie to me." Ye Shi said with a proud smile.
Chen Da looked at Ye Shi and said, "Master Muchen treats you well, so don't be so willful."
Ye Shi blinked and scratched his head uncomfortably, "Mu Chen said he likes me like this."
Chen Da advised helplessly: "Young Master Muchen likes you, so don't let your affection lead you to spoil yourself."
Seeing Chen Da's worried look, Ye Shi couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Muchen was too good to him. If he hadn't been spoiled like this by Muchen, then Ye Shi wouldn't have thought anything of it even if Muchen wasn't nice to him. But being taken care of by Muchen like this, Ye Shi didn't dare to think about losing Muchen. "I..."
Chen Da looked at Ye Shi and said, "It's late, go to bed early."
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Okay, Uncle Chen, Uncle Mu Yuanfeng said that I can receive 300 Yuanshi every month in the future. Uncle Mu is really good to me."
"Mu Yuanfeng treats you well because you are Mu Chen's fiancée. Only when your strength improves can you help Mu Chen in the future. You have also seen that the Mu family is not peaceful." Chen Da reminded with a frown.
Ye Shi nodded and said, "I understand." No matter how good Mu Chen was to him, he was now living under someone else's roof. If he wanted to gain a foothold in the Mu family, all he had to do was to demonstrate his own value.
…………
"Good morning, I made a cake for you. Uncle Chen said that on the day Ren San brought you the cake, you were suddenly in a bad mood and shared the cake. Then you regretted it and kept biting the quilt." Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi and said mischievously.
Ye Shi's face flushed red, and he said angrily, "Uncle Chen, you're talking nonsense. I didn't bite the quilt. That's what children do."
Mu Chen shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Okay, you didn't bite the quilt, so why are you suddenly in a bad mood?"
"That's because..." Ye Shi rolled his eyes and said, "That's because Zhuang Yu said that you are ugly, disgusting, weak, and always cling to him. I feel sorry for you, so I'm in a bad mood."
Mu Chen: “…” Stone, actually knows how to lie. Zhuang Yu is set up as a white lotus. Even if Zhuang Yu thinks so about him in her heart, it is impossible for her to say it so openly.
But it's not surprising that Ye Shi would say that. Ye Shi is not set to be a good person, but a vicious cannon fodder who will do anything to achieve his goals.
"Zhuang Yu is so hateful!" Mu Chen nodded and agreed with Ye Shi.
Ye Shi nodded solemnly, staring at Mu Chen and said, "Yes, so you have to stay away from him, as far away as possible."
Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi and said, "As long as you stay away from Lan Ruofeng, I won't care about Zhuang Yu either."
Ye Shi's eyes lit up, he nodded and said, "It's a deal."
Mu Chen nodded and said, "Of course."
"What is this?" Ye Shi asked, looking at the red letter in Muchen's hand.
"This is the invitation letter from Jiyue Auction. Do you want to go?" Mu Chen said.
Ye Shi frowned and said, "Even if I go there, I can't afford it. How much can your father's elixir be auctioned for?"
Mu Chen shrugged and said, "Who knows?" In any case, it couldn't be the 350,000 stones that Lan Ruofeng offered. Lan Ruofeng had a good idea. He wanted to buy the Broken Spirit Pill for 350,000 stones. It was wishful thinking.
…………
"Brother Chen, so you are here! You seem relaxed." Mu Hong walked over with a smile and looked at Mu Chen.
Mu Chen shrugged and said, "I'm not as leisurely as you, big brother. I have to learn alchemy with father soon, and I have to practice in the afternoon. Shitou, you can go to my practice room to practice. I have already told the person guarding the practice room that we can share my practice room from now on."
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Okay."
"Brother Chen, you are really making progress now." Mu Hong couldn't help but say.
Mu Hong originally thought that Mu Chen would be a hopeless person for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect that Mu Chen would suddenly come to his senses and show signs of soaring to the sky.
"I have to be ambitious! I'm a married man now." Mu Chen said proudly.
Ye Shi leaned close to Mu Chen's ear and said, "You can only have a wife after you become a martial artist."
Mu Chen glared at Ye Shi fiercely. Shi Tou was pouring cold water on him. Fortunately, he had thought that this guy was honest before.
Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen's angry expression, lowered his head, and rolled his eyes. He couldn't help feeling proud in his heart.
"Brother Chen, this must be your fiancée Ye Shi," said Mu Hong.
Mu Chen nodded and said, "Yes!"
"Shi Tou, this is my cousin, Mu Hong. He is my uncle's son." Mu Chen said to Ye Shi.
"Hello, cousin." Ye Shi nodded lightly to Mu Hong.
Mu Hong looked at Ye Shi carefully for a few times, and thought secretly: Mu Chen's taste is really weird. If he had such a fiancée, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to eat.
Noticing the disgust in Mu Hong's eyes, Ye Shi's heart couldn't help but feel cold.
Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi's gloomy expression, frowned, and said, "If you have nothing else to do, please leave first. We have something else to do later."
Mu Hong frowned and said, "Since Brother Chen doesn't like me so much, I won't bother him anymore."
Mu Chen was too lazy to play along with Mu Hongxu and said directly, "Please do as you please."
Ye Shi looked towards Mu Chen and said dejectedly, "Why are you so nice to me? I'm ugly."
"What are you thinking about? Stones are the cutest, how can they be ugly?" Mu Chen pinched Ye Shi's face and said.
Ye Shi grabbed Mu Chen's hand and said seriously, "If you tell a lie, I will kill you."
Mu Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course I'm sincere..." Was it easy for him to fall in love? He couldn't find the right one in his original world, but after finally traveling through time, he was lucky enough to find that the one he liked turned out to be his fiancée. Everything was going as expected, but his wife was becoming more and more cruel.
…………
Regardless, the auction went on as scheduled amidst the public's attention.
The sensation caused by the Soul-Breaking Pill was even greater than that caused by the finale item in the last auction.
With the mentality of giving it a try, Lan Ruofeng still attended the auction.
The starting price of the Soul-Breaking Pill was 400,000 stones, which was 50,000 higher than the 350,000 stones offered by Lan Ruofeng. There was silence at the scene for a while, and soon someone shouted out 410,000 stones. The 450,000 stones offered by Lan Ruofeng were quickly drowned out by a round of crazy bidding.
Zhuang Yu sat next to Lan Ruofeng and couldn't help but feel his emotions surge. A single pill was worth so many Yuanshi. He had been too shortsighted before.
Mu Yuanhang also participated in the bidding, but after he shouted out 800,000, he fell silent. Mu Chen thought that 800,000 was probably Mu Yuanhang's limit.
The price was quickly pushed up to one million. Even after the price reached one million, the rising speed did not slow down and soon rose to one and a half million.
Mu Chen narrowed his eyes. The original owner actually sold such a valuable elixir for only 20,000 yuan. He was absolutely an idiot. No wonder Mu Yuanfeng was so angry at the original owner.
The person who won the Soul-Breaking Pill at the auction was a middle-aged man, who was said to be a powerful weapon refiner.
Ye Shi's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but mutter, "Amazing, amazing! No wonder alchemists are all rich. I want to be an alchemist too."
Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi and said, "Do you want to learn? If you want to learn, I can teach you!"
Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen with suspicion and said, "If you are the one teaching me, I won't learn it. It's such a waste of Yuanshi."
Mu Chen: “…” Ye Shi actually looked down on him so much.
At the auction table, Lan Ruofeng clenched his fists, his face gloomy. These damn bumpkins didn't even give him any face. It was so hateful.
The price of the Poling Pill was finally sold at 2.28 million stones.
Ye Shi held Muchen's arm tightly, "So many gemstones! So many gemstones!"
Muchen nodded and said, "Yes! A lot of gemstones, so many gemstones."
Ye Shi turned his head and looked at Mu Chen, saying seriously, "Mu Chen, you should learn alchemy from your father. If you learn the basics, you won't have to worry about food and clothing."
Mu Chen smiled dryly and said, "I will try my best."
