Chapter 239 Raising Troops to Investigate Crimes

Although the Foundation Establishment Pill is only a fourth-level elixir, due to its special nature, not many people can make it.

Among the fifty alchemists under Xu Mu's management, only three can refine the foundation-building pill. The best one among them is at the perfect level and has a 30% chance of refining a top-grade foundation-building pill.

The disciple in charge of recording obviously did it on purpose, otherwise it would be impossible to record errors for such an important elixir.

Now he is practicing in seclusion at this critical moment, obviously to avoid interrogation.

The sect has regulations that no matter what crime is committed, the retreat time cannot be disturbed.

Moreover, even if this matter is investigated to the end and the other party is found out and convicted, Xu Mu, as the manager, will not be able to escape the relationship.

The Foundation Establishment Pill is used to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage. Generally, monks will pay attention to an opportunity to break through. Unless they are top geniuses, they will not care about this kind of thing.

Therefore, in order to avoid missing the opportunity, monks often buy Foundation Establishment Pills in advance, hoping to take them in time when the opportunity arises.

Now they can't deliver the elixir on time. If the other party fails to achieve a breakthrough and it depends on them, they will definitely be severely punished when the time comes.

For a sect like Xianyue Palace, sometimes face is more important than life.

Maybe Xu Mu will be pulled out to scare the monkeys.

Not to mention, Xu Mu is not yet an official inner sect elder, so the sect will not care.

Other alchemists may be able to escape the relationship, but as Xu Mu's disciples, they cannot escape, which is why Ye Bufan is so nervous and worried.

However, he saw that Xu Mu's expression didn't seem to have changed much.

Isn't the master worried at all?

Or is it just a facade?

Ye Bufan couldn't help but guess in his heart.

Xu Mu didn't know what his cheap apprentice was thinking, but he said calmly: "Go to the Alchemy Hall and ask them to prepare the medicinal materials. I will refine it myself."

This matter was a big deal to other alchemists, but to him it was just a piece of cake.

Probably Qin Xiao and Yun Zhan would never have dreamed that he, who was a casual cultivator, would not only be able to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, but his skills would have reached an extraordinary level.

Of course, if they had known about it, they wouldn't have gone to great lengths to carry out such a scheme.

Not only Yun Zhan and Qin Xiao didn't expect it, but Ye Bufan didn't expect it either.

When I heard Xu Mu say that he wanted to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill himself, he thought he had heard wrong.

Although there is no sect in the Central Region that prohibits others from refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, the special nature of the Foundation Establishment Pill also makes it difficult for casual alchemy masters to become proficient in this type of pill.

Because many powerful people will stick to the rules and monopolize the medicinal materials, elixirs, magic weapons, formations, etc. in their own areas, and can earn high returns in the industry.

Otherwise, how could Xianyue Palace be able to support thousands of alchemists.

"Master, can you refine the Foundation Building Pill?" Ye Bufan asked in disbelief.

"Just go and prepare, why is there all this nonsense!"

"Yes! But..."

But there are only three days left, and even if you know how to refine it, it will be too late. No matter how good your refining skills are, you can only refine it in one furnace at most.

Before Ye Bufan could express the doubts in his heart, he looked back at Xu Mu and looked back in fear.

In order to save trouble, Xu Mu's behavior has always been to tell the truth.

He was not in the mood to have a long talk with his subordinates about equality and respect. In his eyes, he could only obey or get out.

Ye Bufan left in a hurry and went to the Alchemy Hall to inform preparations.

Xu Mu tidied up the cave before rushing over.

Needless to say, the process of refining the elixir was not mentioned. As soon as Xu Mu's large-scale elixir furnace was set up, he refined hundreds of high-grade foundation-building pills at one time, and even accidentally produced several top-grade foundation-building pills.

If you weren't afraid of being too eye-catching, it wouldn't be impossible to refine them all into the best quality.

"I'm a little rusty, otherwise I wouldn't be able to produce the best!"

Xu Mu said to himself.

If other alchemists heard this, they would be so angry that they would vomit blood.

Others were eager to refine the top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill. After all, the value of the top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill was far more than that of the top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill. However, Xu Mu still felt a little disgusted.

It's really annoying to compare people to each other!

"Master! Master! The hall master has brought someone here!"

As soon as Xu Mu walked out of the alchemy room, Ye Bufan and Xiao Feng, who were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, pounced on him and said quickly.

"oh?"

Xu Mu was a little surprised that he actually came to the door.

"Then let's go there!"

"Master, elixir..."

"Don't you still believe in being a teacher?" Xu Mu said lightly.

"Don't dare! Don't dare!"

Seeing that Xu Mu was so confident, the two of them finally felt relieved. After finally becoming a master like this, they didn't want any accidents to happen.

The two of them followed Xu Mu one step behind and left the area where the alchemy room was.

It was originally a place where Xu Mu's alchemists gathered for meetings. Now it was full of people, including seven other stewards, a large number of ordinary alchemists, and more than ten inner sect elders.

Of course, the three principal and deputy hall masters of the Dan Hall are also indispensable.

As Xu Mu and the other three appeared, everyone's eyes were focused on them, and they all had different dark colors.

Some people are sorry, some are worried, some are curious, and some are gloating.

Du Yu, the leader, had a cold face and looked at him with icy eyes, as if he was going to attack the enemy.

"Elder Xu, what did you do? I finally helped you get this opportunity, but you made such a big mistake!

Do you know that this batch of elixirs is provided to the disciples in the sect. If a disciple fails to break through due to insufficient supply of elixirs, the entire elixir hall will be implicated! "

After hearing Du Yu's words, Xu Mu realized that such a good thing as refining the Foundation Establishment Pill would fall into his hands.

However, he is more willing to believe that Qin Xiao and Yun Zhan intentionally left this matter to him, otherwise how could a traitor appear among his men so coincidentally.

The two of them had probably been planning for a long time, and now their plan was finally revealed.

There was almost no need to hide the ridicule and disdain in Qin Xiao and Yun Zhan's eyes.

The two of them seemed to have determined that Xu Mu was doomed.

If it is a foundation-building pill provided to the outside world, that's it. At most, he will be punished and compensated with some spiritual stones.

But now it is for the disciples of the sect to use themselves. If there is an accident, not only will it be embarrassing, but they will definitely be severely punished.

Not to mention supervising deacons, Xu Mu couldn't even think of being an elder of the inner sect.

If you are a native disciple of Xianyue Palace, there may be a glimmer of hope, but for a casual cultivator like Xu Mu who has become a monk halfway, don't even think about it.

"Master, please calm down!" Xu Mu smiled and continued: "I just had an insight by chance when I was refining the elixir, and lost track of time, so I didn't hand in the elixir in time!"

"Um?"

Du Yu was stunned for a moment and said: "You mean you forgot the time to hand it in? In other words, you have already refined it?"

"It's natural!"

Xu Mu took out the foundation-building pill he had just practiced and handed it to Du Yu.

Du Yu checked them one by one, and when he saw one of the bottles, he couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

"The best foundation-building pill?!!"
