The two walked into the stone room one after another. The stone room was full of beautiful flints. There was an altar in the center of the flint. On the altar, there was a blue flame.
Ye Shi felt that he was connected to the Green Hell flame.
Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen, and said: “Mu Chen, was this strange fire intentionally left here by someone?”
Mu Chen nodded and said: “It seems like so. This stone room was built by someone.”
“Didn’t you say that this kind of strange fire is very precious? Then why didn’t the owner hide it somewhere, but put it here?” Ye Shi frowned and said in confusion.
Mu Chen narrowed his eyes and said: “The owner probably thought that the flame was too weak?”
Ye Shi was puzzled: “Too weak?”
Mu Chen nodded and explained: “Yes. Strange flames can be strong or weak, but both can help with promotion. This Green Hell flame is at level three. For us, it’s enough, but not for the person who put the Green Hell fire here. This flint and the formation on the altar are good for enhancing the flame. The person who leaves the fire here is to nurture the fire.”
Ye Shi said: “I’ve only heard of raising chickens or ducks, but I’ve never heard of raising fire. Can fire also be nurtured?”
Mu Chen smiled and said: “The world is so big that there are many wonders.”
Ye Shi blinked and urged: “You must absorb this fire quickly.”
Mu Chen frowned and said: “Your blood can open the stone gate. The original owner of this fire should have a relationship with you. I think you are the better one to absorb this flame.” Although Mu Chen wanted the flame as well, he still suggested it.
Ye Shi shook his head and said: “No, I don’t want it. I don’t do alchemy. That fire is useless to me.”
Even if Ye Shi did not make alchemy, it was beneficial to absorb this flame. At the very least, when he fought against others, his combat power could be increased by a few percent. Mu Chen squinted and thought about it, and said: “If you insist, I will absorb it.”
Ye Shi nodded and said excitedly: “Okay.”
Mu Chen looked down, and some cold light flashed in his eyes. In Mu Chen’s opinion, it might be a better choice if he absorbed the fire himself. He didn’t know how much influence the original story would have. There might be a possibility that Ye Shi would give the Green Hell flame to Lan Ruofeng. Although the possibility was low, Mu Chen had to prevent it from happening.
Mu Chen cut a light wound on Ye Shi’s finger and made Ye Shi’s blood drip onto the Green Hell flame.
Ye Shi frowned and asked: “What are you doing?”
“I just thought that you and the owner of the Green Hell flame might have the same bloodline. If that’s the case, your blood might make this fire calmer.” Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi with worry.
Ye Shi was not angry at all. Instead he said happily: “Really? My blood can help? Do you think it’s useful?” Mu Chen was getting better and better, so much better that Ye Shi was under great pressure. Ye Shi felt happy that his blood was useful.
Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi, smiled, and said: “It’s useful. This flame is much softer. I will absorb it more smoothly.”
Ye Shi’s face turned red: “Good to know that.”
Mu Chen clenched his hands tightly as Ye Shi looked happy from the bottom of his heart. How could Lan Ruofeng not be interested in Ye Shi in the original story? Even worse, how could he hurt Ye Shi so much?
To absorb the flames of Green Hell, Mu Chen made many preparations beforehand. With the help of the fire melting liquid and Ye Shi’s blood, everything went smoothly.
The Green Hell flame was successfully absorbed into Mu Chen’s body. At the same time, Mu Chen’s strength also soared from a five-star fighter to an eight-star fighter, even higher than Ye Shi’s.
Ye Shi suddenly felt a little strange when Mu Chen caught up with him.
……
Lan Family.
When Lan Ruofeng was shopping with Zhuang Yu, he suddenly felt a twitch in his heart. He felt like he was missing something.
Zhuang Yu looked at Lan Ruofeng and asked: “Ruofeng, what’s wrong with you?”
Lan Ruofeng shook his head and said with a smile: “I’m fine.”
Lan Ruofeng frowned. A few days ago, he had a strange feeling like if he didn’t go looking for Ye Shi, he would lose something very important. But now he felt different. He felt like he’d lost something forever.
Lan Ruofeng narrowed his eyes and couldn’t help but wonder why he felt that way. It was just too strange. If his feelings were true, then who had taken it from him? Was it Mu Chen? The first time when he saw Mu Chen, he did not like him.
“Ruofeng, you look terrible!” Zhuang Yu said anxiously.
Lan Ruofeng forced a smile and said: “I’m fine.”
“Ruofeng, I heard that you sent someone to investigate Mu Chen and Ye Shi?” Zhuang Yu asked.
Lan Ruofeng’s heart sank and said: “How do you know?”
Zhuang Yu complained about Lan Ruofeng’s unkind attitude: “You are always distracted these days. I was worried about you, so I…”
Lan Ruofeng squinted. Zhuang Yu was beautiful and friendly. Many people are fascinated by him. He should be proud to have such a partner. But he didn’t like Zhuang Yu dazzling the people around him.
“I understand!” Lan Ruofeng responded calmly.
Zhuang Yu blinked and asked: “Ruofeng, why are you investigating Mu Chen and Ye Shi?”
Lan Ruofeng smiled and said: “Nothing serious. Mu Chen and Ye Shi seem to have misunderstood. I’m thinking of reconciling with them.”
“You are very generous. Mu Yuanfeng made you embarrassed in front of your father, but you are so generous that you want to reconcile with Mu Chen. Mu Chen will be embarrassed when he finds out.” Zhuang Yu said to Lan Ruofeng.
Lan Ruofeng raised his eyebrows in disagreement. Mu Chen would not feel embarrassed.
According to rumors, Mu Chen was stupid and pushy. But the Mu Chen he saw was not like that at all.
Zhuang Yu said: “The rose shop is in front. I heard that the rose shop has a lot of good things. Let’s go and have a look.”
“Sure.” Lan Ruofeng smiled.
…
In the forest.
The roar of a bull exploded.
Boom! Mu Chen punched the iron hoofed cow that fell down.
The iron-hoofed cow rushed over again. A layer of blue light lingered in Mu Chen’s hand. Bang! They fought fiercely again. A large chunk of the iron-hoofed cow’s skin and flesh was charred. It screamed in excruciating pain. It fell on top of his blood.
Ye Shi was amazed and said: “Good for you, Mu Chen. You are a master now.”
Mu Chen smiled and said disapprovingly: “That’s far from being a master.” The strange fire was indeed powerful! Just with his own strength, he could only cause minor injuries to these monsters with a single blow, but, with the help of the strange fire attack, he could kill these monsters.
With his current strength, with the help of Green Hell’s flames in battle, he should have no problem killing a level 1 star or 2 star monster, which is unlikely to be a 3 star.
Although he was improving quickly now, he still had to be extra careful.
After all, according to the original story, one year later, he would be killed by Lu Yao. If Lu Yao found out that Mu Yuanfeng had the Hundred Exercises, he still had to take action. Before that, Mu Chen had to be strong enough to protect himself.
Ye Shi quickly ran to the iron-hoofed cow and collected the cow’s blood.
Since Ye Shi loved physical exercise, he basically could not live without bathing in animal blood every day. Throughout this journey, Ye Shi bought animal blood for bathing. He stored the beast blood in the space ring for easy access.
This time, they discovered that wild beast blood was surprisingly greater for physical exercise. Therefore, when Ye Shi had the opportunity, he collected beast blood.
Mu Chen said as Ye Shi was busy collecting blood: “Shi Tou, my ring of ruins has a limited capacity! I don’t think we can collect so much beast blood.”
Ye Shi said: “No problem. We can take a shower first before leaving! We’ve collected a lot of beast blood recently.”
Mu Chen smiled and said: “Okay!”
“You will use softer beast blood. We are in the wild. If you scream too loudly, you might attract monsters.” Ye Shi reminded.
Mu Chen: “…”
Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen’s ring and said: “Mu Chen, you should buy a bigger space ring. Your ring is small.”
Mu Chen said: “It is indeed small! It costs 50,000 spirit stones for such a small ring.”
Ye Shi was surprised at the price of the ring and also how Mu Chen spent his money.
“Actually, even though it’s small, it’s quite nice.” Ye Shi said with a smile.
Mu Chen said disapprovingly: “I don’t think it’s enough. When we get to the imperial capital, I should find a way to make more money and buy a bigger one.”
Ye Shi: “…”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
T/N: lol even thought Mu Chen advanced to level 8 he still can’t catch a break being teased for beast blood.
Ye Shi: Mu Chen ur ring is too small (￣^￣)
Mu Chen: it was 50k ( ˙-˙ )
Ye Shi: this is actually the best ring I have ever seen (⌒-⌒; )

~”Actually, even though it’s small, it’s quite nice.” Ye Shi said with a smile.
Mu Chen said disapprovingly: “I don’t think it’s enough. When we get to the imperial capital, I should find a way to make more money and buy a bigger
one.’
Ye Shi:…~
