“Are you looking for an inn to stay at?” Bi Lin asked while looking at Mu Chen and Ye Shi, who seemed to have just arrived in town.
Ye Shi nodded and said depressingly: “Yes! Inns in the imperial capital are expensive and hard to find.”
“Of course. We were lucky enough to find a small courtyard as soon as we arrived. There happened to be a room for one person, and it cost 500 spirit stones a day.” Bi Lin said happily.
Ye Shi looked at them enviously and said: “You are so lucky.” Ye Shi said sincerely. They searched for available lodgings but the cheapest one cost 600 spirit stones per day.
Bi Lin looked at Mu Hong and the others and said: “There are limited inns in the imperial capital. Otherwise, you and Mu Hong…”
Mu Hong frowned and interrupted Bi Lin: “My room is small. I’m afraid of disturbing Mu Chen when he wants to practice at night.”
Bi Lin frowned at Mu Hong’s attitude. Ever since the Elixir Spirit-breaking incident, rumor had it that Mu Yuanhang and Mu Yuanfeng were distant from each other. Now it seems that this is very likely to be true.
Shui Qiancheng said: “Mu Hong, maybe we can…” Be nice to them!
Mu Chen smiled and interrupted Shui Qiancheng: “No problem. I don’t like sharing a room with others either. It’s better for me and Shi Tou to find another place to stay.”
…
“Are you Master Mu Chen?” A middle-aged man approached them as they spoke.
Mu Chen nodded and said: “Yes!”
Mu Chen stared at the person. He was a decent man. But Mu Chen didn’t remember that he had an acquaintance with such a man.
“Senior Fu wrote a letter to our president a few days ago, saying that you might arrive here in the near future and he asked our president to receive you. Are you looking for an inn to stay at? You are our member. We will prepare accommodation for you. You can stay in our association.” The middle-aged man said solemnly.
Ye Shi said in surprise: “You provide accommodation?”
The middle-aged man nodded and said: “Yes!”
“For free?” Ye Shi asked with shining eyes.
The middle-aged man smiled and said: “Sure.”
“Thank you, senior.” Mu Chen smiled lightly.
“Young Master Mu, please come with me.” The middle-aged man said to Mu Chen kindly.
Ye Shi couldn’t process what was going on. Mu Chen pulled Ye Shi, and Ye Shi caught up with him.
“The president didn’t say that you would get free accommodation when you become a member of the Association.” Ye Shi whispered to Mu Chen.

“Senior, what is the Low Level Alchemist Association?” The moment Mu Chen and Ye Shi were out of sight, Bi Lin regained her senses and asked Qian.
“The Low-Level Alchemist Association is a place for low-level alchemists to communicate. Although most of those in the association are low-level alchemists, it is an influential organization. Many senior alchemists were once members of the Low-Level Alchemist Association when they were young.” Qian Dongting said.
“Is it easy to become a member of the Low-Level Alchemist Association?” Bi Lin asked.
Qian Dongting shook his head and said: “It’s not easy, not easy at all, not even for a third-grade alchemist.”
Shui Qiancheng asked Mu Hong: “When did Mu Chen become a member of the Low-Level Alchemist Association?”
Mu Hong shook his head: “I don’t know.”
Mu Hong lowered his head and said to himself: ‘When Mu Chen left the Mu’s house, he was only a first-grade alchemist! How come he became a member of the Low-Level Alchemist Association? What’s wrong with the people who invited him?’
“Mu Chen is truly extraordinary.” Bi Lin said sincerely.
Shui Qiancheng nodded: “Yes.”
Mu Hong lowered his head with jealousy in his eyes.
……
“Young Master Mu, this is the house our association provided for you. What do you think?” The middle-aged man asked.
“Very good. Very good. Please convey my thanks to the president.” Mu Chen was overwhelmed by how warmly the man greeted him.
“Young Master Mu, if you have any needs, you are welcome to let me know.” The middle-aged man said gently.
Mu Chen smiled and said: “Thank you.”
Once the middle-aged man left, Ye Shi couldn’t wait to open the door.
“Not bad. It’s actually very good.” Ye Shi said happily.
Mu Chen smiled and said to himself: ‘Ye Shi is happy with everything that’s free.’
“It’s still early in the morning. Why don’t we go for a walk?” Mu Chen suggested.
Ye Shi said excitedly: “Are you going to make money doing questions? That’s fine!”
Mu Chen: “…” Ye Shi, are you so worried that you don’t have money to eat?
“Let’s go out and see.” Mu Chen said.
Ye Shi nodded and said: “Okay.”
Mu Chen and Ye Shi walked into the low-level alchemist association and found a large group of people at the entrance of the association to buy Element-breaking Elixir.
Ye Shi wondered and learned that the Element-breaking Elixir was a kind of elixir recently developed by the Alchemist Association, which could help martial disciples and martial artists to practice. Many disciples from large families would become tolerant to elixirs after drinking them since childhood. Therefore, they need a special elixir for a change so that they can achieve miraculous effects.
Right now, because of the upcoming Saint Star Academy exam, many people are preparing for the exam. The element-breaking elixir was sold out as soon as it hit the market.
“I’ve already asked them. Many people bought the Element-breaking Elixir and each one costs two thousand spirit stones.” Ye Shi said solemnly.
Mu Chen nodded and said: “Really?”
“Mu Chen, do you know how to refine the Element-breaking Elixir? If you know how we will make a lot of money.” Ye Shi said with his eyes shining brightly.
Mu Chen sighed helplessly and said: “Shi Tou, I heard that an elder from the Low-Level Alchemist Association found the recipe for the Element-breaking Elixir. Without the recipe, how could I possibly refine it?”
Ye Shi let out a disappointed sigh: “We don’t even know who this elder is. He’s so mysterious. I believe he might not be a good person.”
Mu Chen: “…”
“Although he’s not a good person, he is a money-maker!” Ye Shi was silent for a while, then said enviously.
Mu Chen: “…”
Mu Chen spent 2,000 spirit stones to purchase the Element-breaking Elixir, which made Ye Shi’s heart flutter.
Eyeing the elixir, Mu Chen was suspicious. This elixir seemed to be…
“Young Master Mu, the president wishes to see you.” A servant walked up to Mu Chen and said.
Mu Chen put the elixir away and said lightly: “Please lead.”
Mu Chen and Ye Shi followed the servant into the study room.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. President.” Mu Chen said respectfully.
Ye Shi bowed his head and silently looked at the man in the study with the corner of his eye.
“You too. Please take a seat.” Xie Qiong said with a smile.
Ye Shi felt that the smile on Xie Qiong’s face showed that Xie Qiong was a cunning man.
“Thank you, senior.” Mu Chen sat down with Ye Shi.
“This is the recipe for the Element-breaking Elixir.” Xie Qiong handed the recipe to Mu Chen.
Ye Shi couldn’t believe that Xie Qiong actually gave the recipe to Mu Chen. How could Xie Qiong… Wasn’t this recipe a secret of the Low-Level Alchemist Association?
“This…” Mu Chen couldn’t help but frown.
“That’s right. This is the recipe you wrote down to increase the Element-enhancing Elixir when you answered the question. Although Element-enhancing Elixir can also increase elemental power, it usually causes damage to the meridians, so people don’t use it.” Xie Qiong said.
Ye Shi was shocked. Xie Qiong stole Mu Chen’s recipe and was now showing it off in front of Mu Chen.
“Sorry, I should have discussed it with you before I used the recipe, but I couldn’t contact you yet.” Xie Qiong apologized.
Mu Chen smiled awkwardly and said: “It’s fine. But I don’t understand. If this recipe is correct, shouldn’t it have been published already?”
“Your answer was not properly approved. It was an elder from my association who asked the question.” Xie Qiong explained.
Mu Chen understood now. If his answer was not approved, the general public would not have access to his answer. But the Association’s administrators could. What a scheme! There were schemes everywhere. He used to have the impression that the Low-Level Alchemist Association was an organization with a good reputation.
“I have two plans for you now.” Xie Qiong said.
Mu Chen looked up and said: “What?”
“One plan, 10% of the sales of the Element-breaking Elixir will be yours. And the other plan, the association will pay you 500,000 spirit stones to buy your recipe.” Xie Qiong said with a hand on his back.
“My answer is, buy it.” Mu Chen said without hesitation.
Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen in disbelief and said between his teeth: “Mu Chen, can you count or not?” The element-breaking elixir was very popular, 10% of the way would be a better choice.
Being stared at by Ye Shi, Mu Chen felt guilty.

If you want this novel translated comment below!!
There are 390 already in this novel, and we’re only at 69, if you pick another, won’t you further slow down?
Thank you for the chapter.
Oh I’m not going to translate it right now sorry if I didn’t make that clear. I’ll be doing it in the summer.
And I responded to you using my friends account whoops 🙃
The novel sounds familiar. I love little buns though! All for it
TL;DR as long as none of them are going to be dropped before completion I’m always open for new stories. (And this one in particular sounds really interesting!)
You just made me realize that majority of the novels in my to be translated list are over 300 chapters (3 being from 500-700) 🥲. Hahaha I do however have 2 that are 150 chapters so I’ll put the synopsis for those in the upcoming chapters. Thank you for your suggestion! 🫶🏼
I say yes!! This sounds really interesting!!
God Xie Qiong already gave me a bad vibe the moment he appeared! No wonder Mu Chen and Ye Shi got a free room!
Right?? Like like was it that serious that you couldn’t wait for Mu Chen to arrive? It’s not like it was some life saving pill.
💖💐💖💐
Um, Master of Spirit Plants has already been completed on Flying Lines. https://m.flying-lines.com/novel/the-master-of-spirit-plants
its not free tho only some chapters are
I feel like I’ve read the novel you mentioned already? And it translated?? I think I read it on Flying Lines iirc
yea it is on flying lines however the translations arent free
Oh i read that one. It’s pretty good for a light hearted read. As someone who’s read it, i can say, objectively, some things are arbitrarily solved or solved in between time skips. Other than that, the relationship is sweet once he wins over his wife. And his relationship with his sons is also cute. Yhe novel was pretty long if i remember correctly like 790 chapters.
P. Quero !!!!
