Chapter 270: Chapter 239: Tier Seven Pill Master 1

“A beyond-top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill? How is that possible?!”

The surrounding elders of the Pill Hall, hearing Du Yu’s astonished voice, took on incredulous expressions one after another.

They were quite clear about the skill level of the alchemists under Xu Mu. It was simply impossible for them to forge a beyond-top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.

Yun Zhan and Qin Xiao quickly stepped forward to check. After their examination, their faces turned gloomy.

It was indeed a beyond-top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, and it appeared to have been forged recently. There was no possible way that it was prepared beforehand.

Upon confirming this, Du Yu’s icy expression immediately thawed, as if basking in a warm breeze.

“Right! It seems I’ve misunderstood you!” Du Yu apologized, but still playfully admonished him. He asked Xu Mu to be more considerate in the future and notify him in advance if there was any need, so as to avoid such misunderstandings.

Xu Mu naturally admitted his mistake gracefully as he needed to maintain a good standing here. He couldn’t afford to offend Du Yu, especially since he’d already run afoul of Qin Xiao and Yun Zhan. If he also offended Du Yu, he wouldn’t be able to stay here any longer.

“Since you’ve been able to forge a beyond-top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, I’ll assign any similar tasks to you in the future!” Du Yu grinned and turned to Yun Zhan and Qin Xiao: “Don’t you agree?”

Qin Xiao and Yun Zhan blanched, left without an option.

This was indeed an instance of lifting a rock only to drop it on one’s own foot.

Not only did they allow Xu Mu to show off, but he also grabbed an even greater share of the pie.

Everyone knows out of all the foundation establishment-stage pills, the Foundation Establishment Pill yields the highest profit.

“Elder Xu is indeed impressive. As a Loose Cultivator, you managed to forge a beyond-top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill. I can’t help but admire you,” Qin Xiao remarked with a veiled insinuation.

Commotion stirred among the crowd as all eyes flickered with suspicion.

Xu Mu’s situation now seemed a bit problematic.

“Elder Qin, not everyone learns at the same pace. Some people may study forever without mastering it, while others can grasp it in just a few days. Perhaps I’m one of those natural talents! Hahaha!” Xu Mu laughed triumphantly.

The crowd was rendered speechless.

However, the situation didn’t seem unlikely.

Some Loose Cultivators do lack resources, hindering them from revealing their true potential.

But once they’ve obtained those resources, they rise rapidly.

That Xu Mu, a loose cultivator, became a tier six Pill Master, and miraculously advanced to the Golden Core Stage doesn’t contradict calling him a genius.

Confronted with Xu Mu’s argument, Qin Xiao was left speechless as there was no way to disprove this.

They couldn’t possibly ask him to learn a new pill recipe on the spot, could they?

At this point, Xu Mu spoke up again.

“I originally planned to report this to the hall master later, but since you’re already here, it saves me a trip! This is a new tier seven pill I’ve made, please check it!”

Xu Mu took out the leftover Blood Sun Pill and handed it to Du Yu.

“What?”

Du Yu expressed his astonishment.

The unspoken implication of Xu Mu giving him the pill was clear.

He could already forge a tier seven pill, which made him a legitimate tier seven Alchemist, and he should also be accepted as a formal inner sect elder.

Of course, there were no surprises. After a thorough inspection, Xu Mu officially became an elder of the inner sect. Amid Du Yu and Qin Xiao’s livid countenances, he accepted the congratulations from everyone.

From then on, unless Xu Mu voluntarily left the sect, chances were slim for the two to have him ousted.

A tier seven Alchemist was considered a precious asset in any sect. Unless he made a serious mistake, the sect would never throw him out.

After all, who would want to turn away from Spirit Stones?

The earning speed of a tier seven alchemist was quite frightening. Even though Xu Mu was a somewhat watered-down tier seven, capable of refining only Blood Sun Pills, he was still incomparable to an ordinary Golden Core.

Xu Mu received the benefits he deserved, and his two disciples were visibly excited, their backbones seemingly straightened.

Upon hearing the news, his subordinates came one after another to give gifts and congratulations.

So, more than a month passed in merriness. Xu Mu announced once more he was going into seclusion, but in reality, he sneaked down the mountain.

“Besides selling pills and buying medicinal ingredients for cultivation this time, I also need to prepare some resources for Ying Ying and the others!”

Many years had passed, and the resources left for Ye Ying Ying and the others were almost used up.

Ever since leaving Southern Domain, in order to avoid any accidents, Xu Mu only allowed them to hide and show their faces as little as possible, thus they had been living off their dwindling resources.

“Recently, Chi Feiyan has been clamoring to go out, maybe it’s time to let go!” Xu Mu pondered.

Their circumstances were indeed special, they had escaped from the Cloud Peak Mountain Range. If the people in the central domain discovered this, they would inevitably try to snatch them for questioning about the Tongyou Sect’s affairs.

The Southern Domain is currently quite heated, the Tongyou Sect not only held off the entire Cultivation Alliance of the Southern Domain but was also continuously expanding. Many forces in Central Domain had already gotten involved.

In order to defeat the Tongyou Sect, many sects were searching around for information about them.

As the earliest escapees from the Cloud Peak Mountain Range, the consequences of their identities being exposed could be easily imagined.

However, continuous hiding was not a solution either. Their numbers were too large, the resources consumed too great, even he couldn’t afford to support them.

So Xu Mu thought they could try to start rebuilding their power gradually.

“However, the specifics of how to do this would require careful deliberation.”

Xu Mu hoped that either his avatar or someone among Ye Yingling’s group could reach the Golden Core Stage. That way, they would have the power to cope with any issues.

While pondering, Xu Mu donned his gold mask that concealed his aura and flew towards the direction of the black market.

Arriving at the black market once again, Xu Mu boldly sought out Liu Wuheng.

Seeing Xu Mu seeking him out again to sell pills, Liu Wuheng felt mixed emotions.

He had originally thought of investigating Xu Mu’s identity. However, the person he sent for the stakeout lost him halfway. The methods he had left also mysteriously failed, leaving him feeling a bit embarrassed.

He had thought that Xu Mu, knowing what he was up to, would never come again. He never expected that Xu Mu would still dare to come.

This guy was genuinely fearless!

He didn’t believe Xu Mu could be that stupid!

However, since Xu Mu didn’t expose him, Liu Wuheng also pretended not to know. The two people happily completed their transaction.

After Xu Mu left, his subordinate asked whether they should follow this time. Liu Wuheng shook his head.

“Since the other party has such strength, let’s not seek trouble for ourselves. After all, this is beneficial for us!”

Xu Mu’s deal exceeded the black market’s profits for the past ten years. They could even take advantage of the rarity of the beyond-top-grade Hao Yuan Pill and Dust Reduction Pill to gain other benefits.

If they couldn’t swallow the opponent, then they should trade fairly and maintain it as much as possible to maximize the benefits.

After leaving the black market, Xu Mu remained cautious and hid for a while. Seeing no one coming after a long time, he finally revealed himself and left.

“It seems this person is very cautious. It’s no wonder the black market has managed to survive unnoticed for so long!”

Having returned to Immortal Moon City, Xu Mu did not return to Fairy Moon Palace immediately, but stayed in the town. It was not until a month later when his avatar arrived and picked up some resources that Xu Mu returned to Fairy Moon Palace.

In a blink of an eye, another ten years passed. Xu Mu’s cultivation level rose to the sixth layer of the Golden Core, the “Great Sun Refining Shape Skill” reached the Transcendent realm, comparable to the seventh layer of the Golden Core.

It was also on this day that after spending a lot of Spirit Stones, Xu Mu finally purchased the materials needed for crafting his lifebound magical weapon.

“No matter the world, there’s nothing money can’t do!”

Xu Mu opened a wooden box, inside neatly arranged were dozens of white feathers emitting a faint chill.
