“Let’s find a place to rest for a while. I’ll make a roast for you.” Mu Chen smiled at Ye Shi.
Ye Shi nodded and said happily: “Okay!”
“Mu Chen, are you going to make roast meat with the strange fire!” Ye Shi asked while approaching Mu Chen.
Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi helplessly, sighed, and said: “Shi Tou, I want to roast meat with the strange flames, but if I really do it, we’ll have to eat ashes today.”
Ye Shi blinked and said regretfully: “In that case, let’s roast it with ordinary fire.”
Mu Chen started roasting the beef quickly. Soon, they smelled the aroma of the meat. Ye Shi couldn’t wait to pick up the beef that Mu Chen had roasted and took a bite: “Very delicious.”
Mu Chen was happy that Ye Shi enjoyed the meat: “Eat slowly. Don’t choke.”
Ye Shi continued to chew as he was amazed at how good Mu Chen was at cooking. The roast meat was so fragrant that he was drooling and the flavor was delicious. He even licked the spices and meat juice on his fingers.
“Mu Chen, how long did it take you to learn to cook? I heard that it takes at least three years to complete all the cooking courses.”
Mu Chen smiled and said indifferently: “It’s just cooking. There’s nothing difficult about it.”
“You’re so smart!” Ye Shi couldn’t help saying.
“Everyone says that.” Mu Chen looked down. He was a genius in learning. He was praised since he was a child.
Ye Shi said: “That’s not true. When I first came to Mo City, I asked around about you. Of the ten people I asked, eight said you were an idiot, and the other two said you had no hope.”
Mu Chen: “…” That person wasn’t him at all!
Ye Shi asked: “You’re so smart. Why do people say you’re an idiot? After all, this isn’t a rumor. I heard you were really stupid before.”
Mu Chen took a deep breath and said: “Have you heard anything about enlightenment?”
Ye Shi said: “Enlightenment? I was thinking that you might be exchanged for someone because you are so different from what I heard.”
Because we are indeed different. “Can we stop this topic and focus on our food?” Mu Chen said.
Ye Shi shrugged and said: “Okay.”
Mu Chen looked down and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Mu Chen rolled his eyes. He didn’t think it was a good idea to talk about this during dinner. “Eat your beef or it will get cold soon.” Mu Chen stuffed the meat into Ye Shi’s mouth.
Ye Shi’s mouth was full of meat.
Mu Chen thought to himself: ‘Shi Tou is more cute when he doesn’t speak.’
……
At the Low Level Alchemist Association in the imperial capital.
“Grandpa, what did you see?” A girl asked.
A man in a python robe smiled and said: “I got a letter from your Grandpa Fu. He said that he met a peerless genius at the association, and the young man will be coming to the imperial capital soon. He wants me to take care of him.”
“Unrivaled genius. It’s rare that Grandpa Fu gives someone that much praise!” Xie Danyan smiled jealously.
“Yes.” When Xie Danyan became a second-grade alchemist at the age of fourteen, Fu Zuquan had only said he was good. But this time, Fu Zuquan praised that person as a peerless genius.
“Who is that guy?” Xie Danyan asked.
“His name is Mu Chen. Some time ago, someone answered more than 200 questions in the association in one day and earned more than 40,000 spirit stones. It was him.” Xie Qiong said.
Xie Danyan asked: “You mean the guy who answered a lot of questions that day?”
Xie Qiong nodded and said: “Yes!”
“He was really amazing. I thought it was a senior alchemist who answered questions in his spare time.” Xie Danyan muttered.
“I heard that you are close to someone named Lan Ruofeng.” Xie Qiong said with a sharp light flashing in his eyes.
Xie Danyan blushed: “Yes.”
Lan Ruofeng was handsome, strong in strength, and brilliant in alchemy. As soon as Xie Danyan met Lan Ruofeng, she was mesmerized by him. But Lan Ruofeng was indifferent to her. Since Xie Danyan was usually wooed passionately by men, she was quite competitive when a man wasn’t so excited about her.
“Lan Ruofeng is also talented, but I heard he already has a young man named Zhuang Yu.” Xie Qiong said.
Xie Danyan said: “Ruofeng took care of Zhuang Yu because he appreciated Zhuang Yu’s talent. Nothing else happened between them.” Although Xie Danyan said so, she regarded Zhuang Yu as an annoying existence.
……
“We’re finally here.” Mu Hong looked out of the carriage window.
Chen Yuetian looked at the towering city gate and said: “The imperial capital is really prosperous!”
Shui Qiancheng frowned and said: “There are still seven days before the Saint Star Academy entrance exam. What will happen then…”
Mu Hong narrowed his eyes. Shui Qiancheng had just been promoted to a 2-star fighter. The possibility of passing the Saint Star Academy exam was not very high. He was already a 4-star fighter, the strongest among them. If anyone can be accepted, it must be him.
“Unlike Mo City, there are countless masters in the imperial capital. If you guys get into trouble here and get killed, your family will never defend you. You guys must be vigilant. Don’t be arrogant like you’re at home.” Qian Dongting said coldly.
Several teenagers nodded in agreement.
Qian Dongting was from Mo City, but he was a free cultivator. He did not belong to any family. He was quite powerful. Several big families in Mo City had jointly hired him to escort their children to the imperial capital.
“Mu Hong, what about your cousin Mu Chen? I heard that he also has access to participate in the Saint Star Academy’s recruitment. Why didn’t he come with us? Is it because he is unwilling to pay the 30,000 spirit stones for the escort fee? But that’s impossible. Mu Yuanfeng is known to be rich and powerful!” Shui Qiancheng asked.
Mu Hong smiled bitterly, and said: “Second Uncle, I think he has his own considerations.”
“Mu Hong, I heard that since your cousin was enlightened, not only did his strength increase a lot, but he also became an alchemist. What level is he at now?” Chen Yuetian asked.
“Like you, I haven’t seen him for a long time. I really don’t know what level he is now.” Mu Hong shook her head and said.
“I heard that he was a five-star fighter before he left the Mu family. Is that true?” Bi Lin asked.
Mu Hong’s face sank. One year ago, Mu Chen’s strength surged a lot for no reason. “Yes.”
“He really is amazing!” Bi Lin sighed.
Mu Hong smiled reluctantly and said: “Yes!”
……
Mu Chen and Ye Shi practiced cultivation as they rushed on their way. After more than a month of hard work, Mu Chen made full use of the Green Hell flame, and his strength stabilized at an eight-star martial arts disciple. Ye Shi also improved to eight-star.
Mu Chen was surprised that Ye Shi continued to improve to an eight-star.
However, this was not surprising. It was mentioned in the book that Ye Shi’s talent was extraordinary. He might have become a peerless master if there was no Zhuang Yu or Lan Ruofeng. Unfortunately, since Zhuang Yu was the main character of the original story, Ye Shi was cannon fodder.
“This is the imperial capital.” Ye Shi looked at the tall city gate and said.
Mu Chen nodded and said: “We’re finally here!”
Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen and said anxiously: “How many spirit stones do we have? I heard that everything in the imperial capital is very expensive.”
Mu Chen smiled and said: “We have about 10,000. Don’t worry. We won’t starve to death…”
Ye Shi felt depressed and said: “I hope that’s enough.” Ten thousand was not enough for Mu Chen to buy a talisman.
Mu Chen pinched Ye Shi’s cheek and said: “That’s enough.”
Ye Shi said: “Let’s find an inn to stay at, then bathe in animal blood.”
Mu Chen nodded and said: “Okay!”
The security checks at the gates of the imperial capital were strict, but Mu Chen’s second-grade alchemist certificate was enough for them to pass. The guards let them go without asking them to charge an entrance fee.
“The two boys who just passed by look so young! Both of them are already eight-star fighters.”
“They probably came to participate in the Saint Star selection. This year, the level of students at Saint Star Academy seems to have risen again. One of them is a second-class alchemist.”
“There are so many talented young men nowadays. A few days ago, a second-rate alchemist just came here, and he was also very young.”
“Speaking of that, the young alchemist came with a ger with him today. The alchemist who came half a month ago came with a ger as well. However, that ger was much prettier than today’s.”
“They have their own type.”
“…”
