Chapter 140 Secrets
The talisman competition was over, and Mu Chen finally had a chance to relax for a while.
"Please tell the dean of the weapon refining academy that I am not being modest, I really don't know how to refine weapons." Mu Chen sent the visitor away helplessly.
Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen and asked with interest, "Dean of the Weapon Refining Institute, has someone come to see you again?"
Mu Chen's face was filled with a helpless smile. "That old man treats me like a god. He really thinks I can do everything!"
He had never been involved in weapon refining and knew nothing about it. If he forced himself to go on stage, he would only bring shame upon himself.
Ye Shi held his chin and smiled brightly, "Mu Chen, you really are like a god!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" If he is really a god, how come his inscription technique has not reached the fourth level yet? Mu Chen is a little suspicious. He can't reach the fourth level yet. Is it because of Lu Yao's protagonist halo that he can't reach the fourth level? Although luck is something that cannot be seen or touched, it really cannot be ignored.
"You are very powerful!" Ye Shi said as a matter of course.
As expected, in the competition at the Equipment Refining Academy, the two people who took part were completely wiped out.
Inscription Courtyard.
"Sister, what are you laughing at?" Xia Qingli asked Xia Qingyan, who was laughing so hard that her body was shaking.
Xia Qingyan said helplessly, "The old man in the Weapon Refining Academy said that he wanted to transfer Muchen to the Weapon Refining Academy. He wanted to train Muchen to be an all-round talent and not let weapon refining become Muchen's weakness."
Xia Qingli chuckled, "That old man is really delusional."
"It's hard for him." Xia Qingyan narrowed her eyes.
The Alchemy Academy and the Talisman Academy both ended in a draw because of Muchen, but the Weapon Refining Academy was completely defeated and was strongly crushed by the Mingyue Academy. The loss was extremely shameful.

Fu Yuanbao came in happily. Ye Shi looked at Fu Yuanbao, who was getting fatter and fatter, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"I'm here to give you some information?" Fu Yuanbao asked attentively.
"Is the next match the Formation Court Competition?" Ye Shi asked.
Fu Yuanbao nodded and said, "Yes!"
"Then there's no need to watch. Mu Chen won't lose." Ye Shi said firmly.
Fu Yuanbao looked at Ye Shi in a daze. How could Ye Shi be so confident? Could it be that Mu Chen was a fourth-level formation master? That couldn't be the case.
"Yuanbao, there's something I want to ask you." Mu Chen said, his fingers loosely gripping the table.
Fu Yuanbao was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly bowed, "Mr. Mu, if you have anything to say, just tell me, I will do my best."
Fu Yuanbao looked at Muchen as if he had been injected with chicken blood. Ji Dongcheng had become rich recently. It was said that he helped Muchen with a small favor and got a reward of 10 million. It was a pity that he had been following Muchen for so long, but the reward he got was only a few million.
"I'd like to ask you to check for me the origin of the Hundred Calming Body Technique. This matter cannot be made public." Mu Chen instructed coldly.
Naturally, Mu Chen did not ask Fu Yuanbao for help. Fu Yuanbao was good at investigating some gossips about the Holy Star Academy, but he was stretched to the limit when it came to investigating the Hundred Exercises Body Building Technique. Fu Yuanbao's family was ostensibly engaged in legitimate business, but secretly, they also worked part-time as intelligence gatherers.
Fu Yuanbao rolled his eyes and realized that his chance had come. Whether he could gain Muchen's trust and completely join Muchen's ship depended on his ability this time.
"Mr. Mu, I will give you an answer as soon as possible." Fu Yuanbao said.
Mu Chen nodded and said, "I'll wait for your news."
Seeing Fu Yuanbao walk out, Ye Shi couldn't help but frown, "Mu Chen, is this okay? I think the matter of the Hundred Refinements Body Technique should not be made public."
"I know my limits." Mu Chen frowned. He also knew that this matter should not be made public, but Lu Yao had already found him, so it made no difference whether he made it public or not.
Fu Yuanbao is very efficient. Mu Chen asked Fu Yuanbao for help in the morning, and Fu Yuanbao conveyed the message in the afternoon.
The Hundred-fold Physical Training Technique is the family secret technique of the Jin family. The Jin family once had an emperor-level master in their ancestor. It is said that the master was actually very powerful and could always challenge opponents of higher levels.
Ever since that master passed away, the Jin family has been on the decline.
The entire Jin family became poorer and poorer. By the time of the Jin generation, the family business had declined, and only a hundred or so people were left in the entire clan.
These more than one hundred people were slaughtered overnight more than ten years ago.
After the demise of the Jin family, the Hundred Calming Body Techniques disappeared.
After reading the information Fu Yuanbao brought back, Ye Shi rolled his eyes helplessly, "Is the Hundred-Career Physical Training Technique the Jin family's family secret technique? That idiot Zhuang Yu actually said that the technique is the Lu family's heirloom." The Jin family was massacred, and it might be the Lu family who did it.
Mu Chen narrowed his eyes, looked at Fu Yuanbao thoughtfully, and asked, "Before the demise of the Jin family, the Hundred Refinements Body Art had always been in the hands of the Jin family."
Fu Yuanbao nodded and said, "Yes? The Jin family has possessed the Hundred Refinements Body Art for at least three hundred years."
Muchen couldn't help but wonder, if there was a secret in the Hundred-Level Body-Building Technique, wouldn't the Jin family know about it? If this secret could have allowed the Jin family to rise to prominence, why did they end up being completely wiped out?
"Why are the Jin family getting poorer and poorer?" Ye Shi asked in confusion.
Fu Yuanbao frowned and said, "According to the investigation results, because the entire Jin family is obsessed with body training, and body training requires a large amount of Yuanshi support, their family's money is spent on body training."
Ye Shi nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, body training is very expensive."
In the early stages of the Hundred Refinements Body Training Technique, a large amount of low-level beast blood is needed to refine the body. Of course, this is just the beginning. Later, the quality of beast blood required becomes higher and higher. The technique also requires special flames to refine the impurities in the body, and high-level spiritual liquids are needed to regulate the body to prevent the body from being injured under the high degree of tempering.
If it weren't for Muchen's great ability to make money, they would have been broke long ago. In fact, even if Muchen was good at making money, they spent most of their financial resources on body training.
Ye Shi rolled his eyes and asked curiously, "When the Jin family was wiped out, what level was the strongest person in the clan?"
"When the Jin family was wiped out, there were two elders at the level of Martial King." Fu Yuanbao said solemnly.
"Wow!" Ye Shi couldn't help but open his mouth wide and looked at Mu Chen.
"Elder Wu Wang?" Mu Chen couldn't help but frowned in surprise.
Fu Yuanbao nodded and said, "Yes." The Jin family is actually quite powerful. He really doesn't understand what happened back then.
The Jin family has two powerful Martial Kings, but they have not been slaughtered completely. It seems that the person who took action is most likely a Martial Emperor.
There must be some hidden story behind the destruction of the Jin family. Lu Yao is so concerned about the Hundred Refinements Body Art, it is probably related to the Hundred Refinements Body Art.
For a book of 100 physical exercises, the entire Jin family was wiped out. Things seem to be getting serious!
…………
There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and a student rushed in panting.
Mu Chen looked at the person who came and felt an ominous premonition in his heart, "Classmate, what's the important matter?"
"Student Mu Chen, someone is looking for you."
"Who?" Mu Chen asked.
"It's your father, he seems to be injured."
At this time, outsiders were actually strictly prohibited from entering the academy. However, the person who came was none other than Muchen's father. Muchen was now doing very well in the academy, so the people in the academy had to give Muchen some face.
Mu Chen and Ye Shi looked at each other, and Mu Chen stood up suddenly, "I'll go take a look."
"I'll go too." Ye Shi said hurriedly.
A complicated look flashed across Fu Yuanbao's chubby face, and he quickly moved his feet to catch up.
Mu Yuanfeng was arranged to stay in a reception room in the academy. Mu Chen and Ye Shi rushed over as soon as they received the news.
"Father, are you okay?"
Mu Yuanfeng heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Mu Chen was safe and sound. "I'm fine, but your Uncle Chen was hit by that person. Your Uncle Chen is... a martial king-level expert."
Mu Yuanfeng looked at the pale Chen Da with a strange look. Chen Da had always been well-behaved in the Mu family. He would just smile when someone caused trouble for him. But this time, when the enemy came to his house and wanted to capture him, Chen Da suddenly exploded.
If someone hadn't come to pick a fight with him, he might have regarded Chen Da as a coward for the rest of his life.
Mu Chen looked at Chen Da, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He always felt that Chen Da was weird. This man was indeed not simple.
"Uncle Chen, you are the King of Wu! Why have I never heard you mention it?" Ye Shi said in shock.
If Chen Da was King Wu, why did he never stand up for him when he was in the Ye family?
"I suffered a serious injury in my early years. I can only use this skill twice. After two times, I will die." Chen Da sighed lightly.
He was deeply indebted to Qu Kun and was ordered to protect Qu Xinyang. Ye Shi had always been wronged, and he also wanted to take action, but good steel should be used on the blade.
If he hadn't taken action, he could have lived about ten years, but this time he took action, he probably only had five years.
"Ah!" Ye Shi looked at Chen Da and asked anxiously, "Uncle Chen, are you injured? Can it be cured?"
Chen Da glanced at Ye Shi and said gently, "As long as you don't take action, nothing will happen. Don't worry."
Ye Shi looked at Chen Da in a daze. If Chen Da said that, could it be that the disease could not be cured?
"Uncle Chen, tell me, is there any way to cure it? Mu Chen is very rich now, there must be a way." Ye Shi said.
Chen Da shook his head and said, "I'm really fine."
Muchen is indeed very powerful now, but his injuries are too severe, and only a sixth-level elixir will be effective. Although Muchen is a genius, he is still too young.
Mu Chen gritted his teeth, looked at Mu Yuanfeng, and asked, "Dad, do you know who the other party is, huh?"
Mu Yuanfeng shook his head and said, "I don't know, but the other party doesn't seem to want to kill me, they just want to capture me. Moreover, the other party is very powerful, and the one who attacked seems to be a Martial King."
Chen Da narrowed his eyes. Fortunately, the other party was scared away by him. In fact, his injuries were very serious and his attack could not last long.
Mu Chen narrowed his eyes, he was careless. Since someone was willing to wipe out the entire Jin family for the Hundred Calming Body Art, how could he not take any other action now that he knew the Hundred Calming Body Art was in his hands?
"Father, it's too dangerous outside, you should stay in the academy." Mu Chen said after thinking for a while.
Fu Yuanbao frowned and said hesitantly, "Mr. Mu, this is against the rules!"
"I know, but father can strive to become a mentor at the academy."
Fu Yuanbao nodded, his eyes brightening. "That's certainly possible. Senior Mu is a fourth-level alchemist. With this level of skill, he should be more than qualified to become a mentor at the academy."
Mu Chen lowered his head. In the original text, Lu Yao obtained the Hundred-Nurturing Body-Training Technique and killed Mu Chen. In order to avenge Mu Chen, Mu Yuanfeng was killed by Lu Yao's men.
Judging from the current situation, the Lu family is extremely cruel. Even if Mu Yuanfeng does not avenge Mu Chen, Lu Yao will find Mu Yuanfeng.
