“Little Junior Brother, you’re finally out.” Xin Ruge couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Ye Shi walk out the door. If she hadn’t been told that Ye Shi was taking a bath, she would have already walked into the room.
Ye Shi looked at Xin Ruge, blinked, and asked in confusion: “Senior sister, were you looking for me? Is something wrong?”
Xin Ruge smiled awkwardly and said: “It’s not a big deal. Do you still have more of the elixirs you gave me before?”
Xin Ruge felt embarrassed. Previously, when Ye Shi asked her to give Lian Mengxun the elixirs, she didn’t have much confidence in the elixirs Ye Shi gave her. Therefore, she wasn’t too happy to help. But now, she had to ask Ye Shi for the elixirs.
“Yes! But, Senior Sister, if you come a little later, you won’t get anything.” Ye Shi pouted.
Xin Ruge frowned and said for no reason: “How come?”
Ye Shi said: “I will eat everything. So there’s nothing left!”
Ye Shi said as he took out an elixir and threw it into his mouth. He took two bites and swallowed them. He said with a happy face: “It tastes so good!”
Xin Ruge was stunned for a moment, then realized, what exactly was Ye Shi doing?
“Junior brother, you can’t eat elixirs randomly.” Xin Ruge grabbed Ye Shi’s hand and said.
Ye Shi nodded and said with some distress: “I know, but it’s really fragrant! I can’t help it. Senior sister, don’t you think it smells good?”
“I don’t think so.” Xin Ruge said.
Ye Shi frowned. The other level two elixirs were not so appealing to him, but Ye Shi could not stop eating these elixirs.
Mu Chen actually gave him more than 20 elixirs, but Ye Shi secretly ate more than half of them.
If not for the fact that one elixir could be sold for a hundred thousand spirit stones, Ye Shi would have eaten them all.
Xin Ruge frowned and said hesitantly: “Junior brother, where did you get these elixirs from?”
“I found them in a cave.” Ye Shi said lightly.
Xin Ruge frowned and said: “Found it in a cave? Didn’t you say you made it yourself?”
“I was just joking.” Ye Shi shrugged and said indifferently.
Xin Ruge looked at Ye Shi, and couldn’t help but hesitate. Compared to saying that the elixir was refined by Ye Shi, Xin Ruge felt more convinced that Mu Chen refined it. Now Xin Ruge felt more convinced that they were found in a cave.
“How many elixirs do you have?” Xin Ruge asked with a frown.
“There are eight left.” Ye Shi said.
“I’ll have them all.” Xin Ruge did not hesitate. If elixirs were really found in the cave, then the numbers count.
Ye Shi raised his eyebrows, looked straight at Xin Ruge, showed his right hand, and smiled lightly.
Xin Ruge frowned, looked at Ye Shi in confusion, and asked: “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Ye Shi smiled and said: “Senior sister, the elixir was a gift last time, but now you have to pay 100,000 spirit stones.”
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.
Xin Ruge said: “…you really care about money.”
Ye Shi said indifferently: “Senior sister, you are rich, and you don’t understand the pain of the poor.”
Ye Shi pursed his lips and thought: When he slaughtered pigs and sheep in the restaurant, he thought he was poor. But now that he has tens or millions of spirit stones, he still feels poor. He doesn’t know why.
Xin Ruge thought: I’m rich? This junior brother thinks so highly of me.
After giving the elixir, Xin Ruge turned around and left.
Looking at the few remaining spirit stones, Xin Ruge was depressed. Yesterday, when Ye Shi asked how many elixirs she needed, she should have asked for more. One elixir cost a hundred thousand, and eight elixirs had almost consumed Xin Ruge’s entire savings.
Ye Shi looked behind Xin Ruge and thought to himself: She’s so rich. No wonder Mu Chen said that business with women was the most profitable.
Since the number of spirit stones on the spirit stone card had exceeded one million, Ye Shi couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
……
Lian Mengxun tried two more times on the red snake, and after confirming the effect of the elixir, she fed the elixir to the blood dragon.
The blood dragon had a huge appetite and ate several elixirs in the blink of an eye.
Under the influence of the elixir, the blood dragon actually got closer to Lian Mengxun.
“Senior Sister Ruge, where did you get these elixirs from?” Lian Mengxun asked with a dignified expression.
Xin Ruge was stunned for a moment, and said: “Junior brother said that he found them in a cave.”
“This is all he has?” Lian Mengxun said with a frown.
Xin Ruge smiled awkwardly and said: “I don’t know either!”
“What a pity. Why didn’t you say it earlier…” Lian Mengxun said with a frown.
She thought that the elixir was refined by Mu Chen. If so, when she wanted to know the formula, she could talk to Mu Chen. However, if the elixirs were found somewhere, then she would have to keep them and ask the School of Alchemy to study the ingredients.
Song Xinyue folded her arms and said indifferently: “Junior sister Lian, don’t worry, in my opinion, what Ye Shi said is not necessarily true. He is very cunning!”
Xin Ruge frowned. It was hard to tell whether Ye Shi was telling the truth or not: “Then I’ll ask him.”
Lian Mengxun thought about it for a while, then said: “Tell him, if there are other drugs like that, I will pay 200,000 spirit stones each.”
Xin Ruge blinked and said: “So much?”
Lian Mengxun said indifferently: “It’s worth it.”
“How much do you need?” Xin Ruge asked.
“Twenty.” Lian Mengxun thought about it.
…
“200,000 spirit stones for each?” Ye Shi was about to eat, when he heard Xin Ruge’s words, his chopsticks fell on the table and his eyes opened wide.
Xin Ruge nodded, carefully observed Ye Shi’s expression, and said: “Yes!”
Ye Shi suddenly stood up and said: “I’ll go to Mu… Oh, no, I’m going to the cave where the elixirs were found before.”
Xin Ruge looked at Ye Shi’s back and said to herself: Ye Shi is indeed lying.
……
Ye Shi stayed in the alchemy room, his face flushed with fire.
“It smells so good!” Ye Shi said, looking at the thing in Mu Chen’s hand.
Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi, frowned, and asked in confusion: “Do you think it’s fragrant?”
Ye Shi nodded and said: “Yes! Is there something wrong?”
“That’s not quite right. The ingredients I prepared are specifically for monsters. For humans, the fragrance is very light and can barely be smelled. However, for monsters, this fragrance is an attraction.” Mu Chen explained.
Ye Shi asked: “How can this be? I’m a human!”
“I know. The reason why you have such a reaction is probably because of your bloodline. Don’t tell others that you can smell the scent.” Mu Chen warned.
Knowing that Mu Chen was warning him for his own good, Ye Shi nodded obediently and said: “I understand.”
“Mu Chen, what kind of soup is this! It’s very fragrant!” Ye Shi asked.
“This is Baixian Soup, which uses many kinds of delicacies. I purposely chose the meat of many monsters that snakes love. The meat I chose is the part of the monster with the strongest spiritual energy and the most delicious meat. After the elixir is made, soak it in the broth for a while, the whole process is complete.” Mu Chen said.
Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen and said: “Mu Chen, why did your elixir work?”
“It’s just a guess. The practical value of Nishang Grass is almost nothing, so I think maybe its role in spirit beast elixirs is seasoning.” Mu Chen said.
Ye Shi’s eyes widened, and he said: “That’s it?”
Mu Chen nodded and said: “Yes!”
Ye Shi scratched his head and said: “It’s so simple. Why didn’t anyone think of it before?”
Mu Chen smiled and said: “Perhaps it’s because there are very few alchemists who are proficient in cooking.”
Ye Shi thought about it and said: “That’s possible.” Although the social status of spiritual chefs was not low, it was not as high as that of alchemy masters. Ordinary alchemy masters would not be humble enough to learn cooking.
“How many pills does Lian Mengxun want to buy this time?” Mu Chen asked.
Ye Shi rolled his eyes and said: “Forty.”
Mu Chen squinted: “Forty, one hundred thousand spirit stones for one, that’s four million spirit stones. This girl is really rich.”
“Yes! She’s really rich. But she’s the granddaughter of the head dean. It makes sense that she’s rich.” Ye Shi said, feeling a little guilty. Lian Mengxun doubled the price, 20 pills sold for four million. That meant he could keep twenty pills for himself.
This kind of elixir that Mu Chen refined tasted very good. But when Mu Chen saw him eat this elixir, he frowned. Ye Shi would have to find another way to obtain it.
Mu Chen was staring at the medicinal herbs in the soup pot. Ye Shi was relieved when he saw that Mu Chen wasn’t suspicious.
After a while, Mu Chen took all the medicinal herbs in the soup pot and put them into a elixir bottle.
A strong fragrance drifted into Ye Shi’s nose constantly. Ye Shi drooled and quickly sealed the elixir bottle.
“Okay, there are eight bottles in total, five bottles each.” Mu Chen said lightly.
Ye Shi nodded and put away all the elixirs.
“Mu Chen, what should you do with this broth?” Ye Shi asked, trying to sound indifferent.
Mu Chen frowned and said: “I still want to sell the elixir recipe. This thing can’t be seen by others. This matter must be handled quietly.”
“I will handle this.” Ye Shi volunteered.
Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi and said: “Are you going to handle it?”
Ye Shi nodded, put the whole pot of soup into the space ring, and said: “Don’t worry. I won’t let anyone see it.”
Mu Chen nodded and said: “Okay.”
Ye Shi looked at the space ring and suddenly felt that the ring was very good. He could put all sorts of things in it. Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen and couldn’t help complaining about Mu Chen’s waste of such a delicious broth. The safest way was to eat it all.
…
“Senior Sister Song, how is the effect of the elixir?” Lan Ruofeng waited for two days, but got no feedback. He finally couldn’t help but ask Song Xinyue.
Lan Ruofeng had once tested medicinal herbs on several demon snakes, and the effects weren’t bad. So Lan Ruofeng still had confidence in the efficacy of the elixir.
Song Xinyue looked at Lan Ruofeng and said regretfully: “Your elixir is somewhat effective, but the elixir Ye Shi gave you has a better effect.”
“Ye Shi?” Lan Ruofeng asked.
Song Xinyue nodded and said: “Yes!”
Originally, Lian Mengxun was very optimistic about Lan Ruofeng’s elixir, but the elixir Ye Shi gave was very effective. Although Lan Ruofeng’s elixir is also effective, the comparison is obvious.
“How can this be?” Lan Ruofeng couldn’t help but mutter disappointedly.
Song Xinyue shook her head and said: “Your elixir is not bad, but… keep working hard.”
Lan Ruofeng looked behind Song Xinyue and felt resentment in his heart. Ye Shi doesn’t know how to make pills at all. So most likely the pill he handed over had something to do with Mu Chen.
