Cultivation of immortality in the family

Chapter 241 Struggle of Interests

Speaking of which, this was not the first time Su Mu came to Kunlu City, and he had never heard of such a rule.

This third-order Zhu Ming Pill is not that important.

Even for elixirs such as external elixirs that help to form elixirs, Su Mu is not a member of the Hundred Alliance, so theoretically they are not under their control.

Therefore, when Su Mu heard that the other party came in, he started to accuse him, his attitude was slightly arrogant, and he felt a little unhappy in his heart.

However, Su Mu knew that he had no backing, and that the other party's background was far beyond his own. Even though he complained a lot, he knew that it was not the time to fall out.

As Mu Yan said, she represents the famous Baimeng, so she naturally has some arrogance.

The name of this Baimeng walking boy is Dai Mutu, and most Jindan monks respectfully call him Lord Zhu.

Some time ago, he received an order from an elder of the Hundred Alliance, asking him to absorb the person in front of him into the Hundred Alliance as soon as possible.

After some investigation, he finally found out that this golden elixir monk named Su Mu had actually practiced the golden elixir technique to the third level.

Moreover, Dai Mutu also found out the news that the other party had refined an external elixir not long ago.

Regardless of his status as a member of the Hundred Alliance, in fact, he was able to secure this position because of the relationship of the elder.

He looks infinitely beautiful, and that is compared to the casual cultivators outside.

Once Su Mu became a member of the Hundred Alliance, relying on his status as a third-level alchemist and being able to refine the outer elixir, he would inevitably become the target of various factions' efforts to win over him.

Of course, the people in Baimeng are a mixed bag, and even if they have excellent skills, they may not be able to obtain the corresponding status.

Maybe if you accidentally offend an elder, you will definitely face various kinds of suppression.

Therefore, Dai Mutu deliberately acted pretentious just to test it out.

In his opinion, if Su Mu is smooth in dealing with things, then this person will definitely be able to have both sides of the alliance and live like a fish in water, so he will have to work hard to please him from now on.

But if the other party is old-fashioned and doesn't understand the ways of the world, then he plans to rely on his own status to get some benefits first. Anyway, he won't be reused in the future, so why worry about the other party's revenge.

To be honest, what Su Mu said in the face of the other party's unreasonable accusations seemed a little weak to Dai Mutu.

If Su Mu secretly offered some benefits at this time, in Dai Mutu's view, this man knew how to deal with people and would be reused in the future. Even if he had some courage, he would not dare to accept it.

If Su Mu did this, Dai Mutu would immediately change his face, tell the whole story about the purpose of his trip, and happily send the person to the Hundred Leagues.

However, Dai Mutu has been walking outside for many years, so he naturally has a good eye for seeing people, and he will not make an immediate conclusion based on just one or two sentences.

Maybe it's just a way for people to retreat in order to advance. People like this are insidious and cunning, and they must not be offended. Otherwise, when the other party gains power, they will bite back and make him unable to recover forever.

"Well, since you didn't know about it before, for the sake of you and me being both Golden Core cultivators, I'll just hide this matter and not mention it."

After all, the other party was a highly skilled third-level alchemist. Dai Mutu considered himself a small golden elixir monk and was not very courageous. He really did not dare to do anything too blatant.

When Su Mu heard that the other party suddenly stopped pursuing the matter, he felt that this person acted so strangely and did things repeatedly, which was really hard to figure out.

"Thank you for your understanding, fellow Taoist!" However, after all, he is walking on behalf of Baimeng, and what he represents outside is the face of Baimeng. At least some respect is still required.

"By the way, I heard that you actually refined an external elixir. Is this true?"

There was no turning back when he opened his bow. Dai Mutu rolled his eyes and immediately had a new idea.

"It's true, but it's more of a fluke." Su Mu still showed respect, but his attitude was obviously much colder.

What also cooled down was Su Mu's previous thoughts.

"Compared with the disciples of Lingqiao Palace, the members of the Hundred Leagues come from all walks of life and have different backgrounds, so the quality of the personnel varies. I originally thought that after joining the Hundred Leagues, I would just specialize in skills, but it seems that I took it for granted. .”

Speaking of which, Su Mu didn't like to spend time on interpersonal relationships. If he had the time, he might as well put all his energy into practicing.

Even when it comes to Su family affairs, he has always avoided them, leaving everything to Su Xian to handle.

If he becomes a member of the Hundred Alliance, he will have to face these things that have nothing to do with practice, which will really trouble his brain.

"Hey, practicing skills all depends on daily accumulation. If you can do it, you can do it. There is no luck."

Immediately afterwards, Dai Mutu continued:

"To tell you the truth, before I took action, I had already heard some rumors about you and was quite curious about your alchemy skills. Thanks to the favor of the elders of the Hundred Alliances, I want to invite you to become a member of the Hundred Alliances, but you must Hand over a Wai Dan so that I can take it to the elders for tasting. If you can get some teachings from the elders, it will be a great joy for you."

It has to be said that Dai Mutu's move was really a good plan to kill two birds with one stone.

In the name of tasting it for the elders, he could get a foreign elixir for free.

As long as the other party is absorbed into the Hundred Alliance, the other party will be extremely happy, and how can he be embarrassed to ask him for it back then. After all, in the name of Dai Mutu, he wanted to bring it to the elders for tasting.

Even if the other party happened to discover some clues, how could he, a small golden elixir monk, have the opportunity to meet the elder as soon as he entered.

As time went by, the matter fell into disrepair.

Su Mu didn't know that the other party was targeting him.

However, the other party's condescending attitude was actually quite disdainful to Su Mu.

After this conversation, Su Mu actually already knew how to choose.

When faced with Dai Mutu's unreasonable demands, Su Mu remained unmoved.

I thought that when I heard that Bai Meng wanted to recruit me, the other party would be ecstatic and immediately rushed to prove his alchemy skills.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a while, this person showed no response.

Dai Mutu thought to himself, this person could be a fool, maybe he didn't know the weight of Baimeng.

In terms of pure cultivation skills, Baimeng has the most talents of all kinds. Even Lingqiao Palace cannot compare with Baimeng.

It is impossible for a Jindan monk like Su Mu, who is already a third-level alchemist, to have never heard of the name Baimeng.

"Hmph, this man seems to have a high regard for his alchemy skills, and he doesn't even pay attention to the Baimeng. Could it be that he thinks that he has to beg him in a low voice to be a polite corporal!"

At this moment, Dai Mutu had the illusion that the other party he had been acting for a long time was actually a blind man.

"I didn't expect to meet another idiot who is obsessed with alchemy but doesn't understand the world!"

Over the years, Dai Mutu has met a lot of nerds. Although those people are quite talented in their respective skills, because they put a lot of thought into their skills, they are in a strange state. In his opinion, Sumu must also fall into this category.

"If you are this type of person, then your skill level in this life is almost the same. Indulging in the memories you weave and not knowing how to interact with people, if you really encounter a bumpy road, you will definitely only take advantage of it and not know how to rely on it. Other ways to relieve it.”

After all, the more advanced the cultivation skills are, the difficulty of each step forward is almost more than the sum of all the previous encounters.

Those who can advance to level three alchemy masters, but most of them stop there, and only a handful have the chance to climb up.

It should be noted that throughout the entire Hundred Alliance, there is only one Great Elder who can refine fourth-level elixirs.

In the world of cultivation, alchemy is known as the first of the four arts of cultivation. This is not a ranking made by boring people, but a realistic interpretation.

Speaking of which, not only the entire Hundred Alliance, but even if the entire East China Sea cultivation world is taken into account, there are only two people who can refine the fourth-level elixir or above.

In addition to the great elder of the Hundred Alliances, there is another one who is rumored to live on a fairy island east of Dongji Island. There has been no news about him for two to three hundred years.

The idiot in front of me didn't know how to seize this opportunity. He missed an excellent opportunity to communicate with the fourth-level alchemist. What is he if he isn't an idiot?

Thinking of this, Dai Mutu actually already knew how he was going to reply to the elder.

"In this case, I have brought the message here. In three days, you can go to the Juxian Mountain of the Baimeng Branch on your own, and someone will be there to receive you."

After speaking, Dai Mutu left in a hurry.

After going out, he spat and thought to himself:

"It's really unlucky. I thought I had a good job, but I didn't expect to get any benefits. I wasted a lot of time."

For sect walking, especially in a place like Baimeng that everyone yearns for, there are many opportunities to reap benefits, which is why he developed the bad habit of plucking feathers.

Occasionally, I will encounter stupid idiots. Even if they say something explicitly, the other person still doesn't notice.

It was obvious that Su Mu had been classified into this category of people by Dai Mutu.

After the other party left, Su Mu shook his head helplessly.

However, he quickly put the matter behind him.

For Su Mu, his own practice is more important.

Instead of wasting your expressions on irrelevant people or things, it is better to think about what you want to do next.

Soon, he turned his mind to other things.

With the successful experience of the last time, Su Mu seemed to be more comfortable when refining the second outer elixir.

Unfortunately, when the elixir was about to be completed, due to a small mistake, the elixir fell short and instantly turned into ashes.

In fact, alchemy is a delicate job. No matter how experienced the alchemist is, if someone is not careful, the alchemy will still fail.

For example, Su Mu is already a third-level alchemist, but he also has to concentrate when refining the first-level elixir.

It's just that the more skilled alchemists tend to have more experience in taking remedial measures at critical moments when encountering some emergencies.

Obviously, Su Mu failed to remedy the mistake just now and had to face failure in the end.

After the failure, Su Mu repeatedly deduced the entire process.

In the end, he discovered that the previous successful refining actually had a large proportion of luck.

According to the past experience of most third-level alchemists, after they advance, they have to wait at least another twenty or thirty years, and some even take fifty or sixty years before they dare to try to refine the outer elixir.

Although there are key factors that make Su Mu's alchemy of gold and stone more likely to succeed, we have to admit that luck plays a huge role.

"I thought that by relying solely on alchemy, even if I was not attached to any force, I could steadily improve through proficiency. In the end, this was just a beautiful vision that I wished for.

This practice is like climbing a mountain. The higher you go, the steeper the mountain will become. Originally, when you were in a low-lying area, you could move forward slowly with just your own strength, but once you climbed to a certain height, the difficulty of crawling suddenly increased a lot if you were alone.

At this point, you have to consider letting the person in front of you give you a hand. "

After figuring out the reason, Su Mu carefully compared it. Compared to Bai Meng, whose interpersonal relationships were more complicated, Lingqiao Palace was probably more suitable for him.

According to Mu Yan, the alchemists in Lingqiao Palace are slightly inferior in skills compared to those in Baimeng.

However, with Su Mu possessing a treasure like Xinghai, as long as he could ensure that his alchemy skills could be upgraded to the third-level high-grade level, he would be close to the fourth level.

In fact, what attracted Su Mu the most was that Lingqiao Palace's sect background must have collected a lot of information about the Five Elements Immortal Sect.

Su Mu never forgot that a few years later, he would have to go to the inner palace of the Five Elements Immortal Sect with Fuyaozi.

Even though Fuyaozi seems harmless to humans and animals, and the two of them also swore the inner demon oath respectively, Fuyaozi obviously knows more secrets.

As the saying goes, it is necessary to be on guard against others. If the other party has the intention of harming others, he can avoid the inner demon oath by using some agencies in the inner palace to attack him.

Since Leize Land and his party are inevitable, Su Mu naturally needs to collect more information.

Only when you have confidence in your heart can you travel fearlessly.

A month later, Mu Yan came to the door again.

Compared with the previous times, Mu Yan looked haggard and slightly tired at this time.

"Junior sister, could something happen?"

During this period, Su Mu had been focusing on alchemy.

Because of the failure experience last time, it was equivalent to a wake-up call for him.

Therefore, Su Mu had to spend more time on refining alchemy, which could be regarded as checking for deficiencies.

Fortunately, Sumu's reputation is no longer unknown. Through word of mouth, outsiders still visit from time to time to seek elixirs.

Hearing Su Mu's concerned tone, Mu Yan breathed a long sigh of relief, braced herself, and said:

"It's not an important matter. It's just related to some disputes over Master's interests, so I have to spend more time on it."
