Longevity begins with an old woman

Chapter 233 Difficulties
In Xianyue Palace, inside the alchemy hall, the fragrance of medicine pervaded the air, and the aura was radiant.

"Elder, everyone is here!"

An old man with gray hair and a beard that grew to his chest stepped forward and handed Xu Mu a roster made of gold silk.

In front of Xu Mu, more than 30 alchemists from Xianyue Palace were standing neatly at this moment, all wearing the blue silk robes unique to alchemists of Xianyue Palace.

"Ok!"

Xu Mu nodded, took the roster, looked around for a week, and then opened it page by page.

Ni Wenjie, 280 years old, sixth-level foundation building, fifth-level alchemist!

Wang Peng, 170 years old, fourth-level foundation building, fourth-level alchemist!
Li Cen, 120 years old, third-level foundation building, fourth-level alchemist!

……

Fangzheng, 53 years old, Qi training level nine, third-level alchemist!

……

Liu Fengzhen, 41 years old, eighth level of Qi training, second level alchemist!

Duan Honglian, 35 years old, Qi training level [-], second-level alchemist!
……

There are a total of 35 people's information recorded in the book. It is these alchemists standing in front of Xu Mu, including the old man who handed him the roster.

Xu Mu quickly finished flipping through the pages, his brows furrowed unconsciously.

I sighed in my heart.

Just know that there is no such thing as pie in the sky.

The quality of these alchemists assigned from other deacons is so poor that it is unimaginable.

There is only one fifth-level alchemist, so the old man who gave him his name can tell at a glance that the end is approaching, and whether he can open the furnace for alchemy is a problem.

There are eight fourth-tier alchemists, the youngest of which is close to a hundred years old, and obviously has no talent.

There are 22 third-tier alchemists, and several of them have already exceeded the best age for foundation establishment. The chances of advancing to fourth-tier alchemists in the future are not high.

The four second-tier alchemists are also not very talented, not even his two apprentices.

Although he had already guessed that other people would not be able to hand over elite soldiers and strong generals to him, he did not expect that these people would be so shameless that they would not give him any good ones.

It is estimated that if he hadn't just appeared, these people would probably be eliminated directly.

Xu Mu really wanted to eliminate them all and recruit a batch of talented newcomers, but obviously, if he really did that, the two vice hall masters who had only met once would definitely use this as an excuse.

When the time comes, it is likely to take the opportunity to drive him out of Xianyue Palace.

The situation in front of him was obviously deliberately embarrassing him.

Let him get out of trouble!

"Forget it, I didn't expect to extract oil and water from them! After a while, I will reveal my identity as a seventh-level alchemist, and I will be self-sufficient!"

He must improve his strength as soon as possible so that he can break free from the shackles of Shouyuan and leave Xianyue Palace early to protect his family.

If it wasn't for avoiding Tianyang Palace's pursuit, he wouldn't have stayed in Xianyue Palace, and he wouldn't have asked for trouble to take over this drudgery.

Now in order to stay in Xianyue Palace, he can only endure.

Seeing Xu Mu frowning and not speaking, everyone in the audience tensed up, for fear that Xu Mu's new official appointment would be a fire.

"Okay, let's go! How to do it before, and how to do it now!"

Xu Mu didn't want to take matters into his own hands, but only hoped for a safe transition.

But after hearing his words, the people below remained motionless.

Xu Mu was a little displeased.

Even if I just came here, even if my status is not high, but no matter how I say it, I am still an inner sect elder in the Jindan period, not something that a few ineffective alchemists can disobey.

Just as Xu Mu was about to teach everyone a lesson and build up his prestige, Ni Wenjie hurried forward and gave him another list.

"Elder, this task assigned to us by Dantang requires you to go over it first!"

"Oh?"

Xu Mu took it suspiciously, glanced at it, and his face instantly became a little ugly.

These bastards must do things right!
It's fine to give him a pile of rubbish, and all the tasks assigned are to refine some extremely unpopular pills.

Like the Ningxiang Pill that increases body fragrance, the Anshen Pill that helps you fall asleep, the Tongchang Pill that treats constipation, etc., Xu Mu has never heard of many pills.

Obviously only a few other alchemists could refine these elixirs, and now they are all gathered here, obviously deliberately making things difficult for him.

It's impossible for Du Yu not to know about this kind of thing, and he didn't stand up to say something. Either he gave up on him, or he didn't have enough control over Dantang, so he was helpless in the face of this kind of thing.

It's really Chiqian Wangbaduo, and the temple little demon is very windy!
It looks like I have to do it myself!

"You distribute half of the medicinal materials to everyone according to your ability, and leave the rest to me! Also, give me a copy of the pill recipe!" Xu Mu said.

"Elder, do you want to—"

Ni Wenjie opened his eyes wide. He could naturally guess that Xu Mu was going to refine the pills himself, but these pills were very unpopular. Even if Xu Mu was a sixth-level alchemist, he couldn't learn all of them in a short time.

"Don't ask so many questions! Just do as I tell you!"

Xu Mu didn't want to explain, and there was no need to explain.

These people are all his subordinates, and they are the kind who will be kicked out of the mountain gate at any time, and they will never dare to disobey his orders in the slightest.

As long as they are not stupid, they should know that if Xu Mu falls, it will be difficult for them to have good fruit.

"Yes!"

Ni Wenjie said respectfully.

Afterwards Ni Wenjie went down to make arrangements, while Xu Mu turned around and entered his own special alchemy room.

In the alchemy room, a group of silver-white flames kept tumbling and burning under the support of the formation.

"The Taiyin is really hot! Could it be that Dantang can become the second most profitable hall in Xianyue Palace!"

Looking at the flames in front of him, Xu Mu praised.

Taiyin True Fire is a kind of spiritual flame, which is formed by the condensed power of Taiyin. It is characterized by stable temperature and easy control. It is one of the most suitable spiritual flames for alchemy.

Originally without the support of the beast soul, Xu Mu still felt that alchemy was a bit difficult, but now with the support of Taiyin True Fire, it is much easier.

Xu Mu used the Fire Control Technique to become familiar with the characteristics of Taiyin True Fire.

Not long after, Ni Wenjie sent the medicinal materials provided by Dantang, as well as the prescription of the elixir that needed to be refined.

After Ni Wenjie left, Xu Mu began to study the recipes one by one.

Although the highest level of these pills is only the fourth level, even if they are upgraded to extraordinary, it will not consume much luck, but Xu Mu still only raised them to the master level.

On the one hand, it is to save luck value, mosquito meat is also meat, right?

On the other hand, his cultivation base is high enough, even if he is only a master, he can easily refine top-grade or even top-grade pills.

After everything was ready, he took out his sixth-tier giant alchemy furnace and started refining piles of pills.

It took him only one month to complete the task that originally required three or forty people to refine it for half a year.

Xu Mu kept enough missions, and the rest was collected in his own pocket. Although it was not worth many spirit stones, it was his hard work after all.

Afterwards, Xu Mu called Ni Wenjie again and asked him to help buy some blood energy pill materials, and planned to refine some blood energy pills in his free time to improve the "Great Sun Shape Refining Technique".

"Elder, those tasks?"

Ni Wenjie was a little anxious.

If you don't hurry up and find a way to complete the task, why do you still have time to refine some blood energy pills.

"The task is that you don't need to worry about it, just do as I tell you! Also, if there are blood sun flowers, buy some!" Xu Mu said with a blank expression.

"Yes!"

Ni Wenjie didn't dare to say anything, so he could only rush to work with worry.

The time to turn in the task is coming soon!
