Mu Chen wandered through the beast trade market with interest.

“Freshly arrived, genuine Xiangshan Pig beasts, look at how sturdy these pigs are, the meat is guaranteed to be tough.”

“Three-flowered chickens, selling cheap, selling cheap, last ten, one yuan stone each!”

“Premium Crane-beaked turtles, nourishing for both yin and yang, two yuan stones each! Come and grab them, come and buy!”

The beasts in the trade market were mostly level one, equivalent to the human Warrior level.

Of course, if you have the money, buying a level two beast isn’t a problem. Typically, a level two beast would have a ring on its leg, rendering it completely harmless.

…

“Have you heard? Young Master Mu Chen is here too. This young master has really changed a lot recently, his strength has also progressed from a seven-star Warrior to a nine-star Warrior,” Wang Lun said with a smile.

Ye Shi dismissed it, “He’s just a nine-star Warrior. At his age, any somewhat ambitious young master would already be a Warrior. If I were as fortunate as him, I’d at least be a five-star Warrior, not just a two-star Warrior.”

Wang Lun glanced at Ye Shi and chuckled, “Shi, it seems you have some preconceived notions about Young Master Mu Chen.”

Ye Shi laughed awkwardly, “Not really.”

“Shi, you have good potential. Have you ever considered joining a noble family?” Wang Lun inquired.

Ye Shi pursed his lips, “I dislike constraints.”

Ye Shi clenched his teeth. His situation in the Ye family was difficult. He had considered leaving the Ye family to join another clan, but no matter how unvalued he was in the Ye family, he still bore the Ye family’s label. Other families wouldn’t easily accept him, and even if they did, they wouldn’t truly trust him.

Moreover, he wasn’t just a person from the Ye family; he was also Mu Chen’s fiancée.

Ye Shi lifted his head and looked in Mu Chen’s direction.

When Ye Shi glanced at Mu Chen, Mu Chen, feeling the gaze, turned his head and their eyes met.

Seeing Ye Shi, Mu Chen unconsciously smiled broadly at him.

Ye Shi bit his lip and glared fiercely at Mu Chen.

Mu Chen frowned, puzzled. As the saying goes, you don't slap a smiling face. Does this universally applicable truth not work here?

“Young Master, did you offend that shuang’er?” Ren San inquired.

Mu Chen raised an eyebrow, “That was a shuang’er?”

Ren San nodded, “Yes. Although he looks more rugged, he is indeed a shuang’er.”

Mu Chen raised an eyebrow, “Is that so? It’s hard to tell.”

…

“What is Mu Chen doing here? Picking out a beast to give to his beloved?” Ye Shi tilted his head.

Wang Lun replied indifferently, “I heard he's here to buy beast blood.”

“Beast blood, for making blood tofu?” Ye Shi muttered.

Blood tofu was one of Ye Shi’s favorite foods. He had limited access to magical beast meat growing up, but luckily, the Ye family's chefs were good to Ye Shi, making a lot of blood tofu for him as a supplement.

Wang Lun shook his head, “It doesn’t seem to be for making blood tofu. The quantity he’s buying is too large.”

Ye Shi pursed his lips, “I see!”

…

“Young Master, here are ten jin of pig blood, ten jin of snake blood, ten jin of chicken blood, ten jin of sheep blood, and ten jin of tiger blood, totaling two hundred yuan stones,” Ren San reported to Mu Chen.

Mu Chen squinted, “That expensive?”

Ren San nodded, “Tiger blood is particularly pricey.”

Mu Chen nodded, “I see!” Cultivation really burns through money. Practicing The Hundred Refinement Technique requires using beast blood to temper the body, with tiger blood being essential.
