Chapter 113 Barrier Breaking Pill
"Barrier Breaking Pill?" Wei Xingyou turned his head and stared at Chen Mu, sizing him up. After a moment, he spoke, "I didn't expect Junior Brother Chen to have reached this level now, surpassing me."

"I still remember a few years ago, when Junior Brother Chen came to visit me. At that time, I remember you were only at the seventh level, right? It's only been a few years, and you already need the Barrier Breaking Pill..."

"If only I could be as fast as my junior brother..."

Wei Xingyou lowered his head and sighed endlessly, as if thinking of his own poor aptitude. Even though he had been taking elixirs all the time, it took him decades to cultivate to the eighth level of Qi Condensation.

Seeing this, Chen Mu comforted him with a few words, and then mentioned the matter of the Barrier Breaking Pill.

Wei Xingyou shook his head regretfully and said softly, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you this time. I've never refined a Barrier Breaking Pill before..."

Chen Mu's brows unconsciously wrinkled slightly, but soon returned to normal.

Because he had thought about this situation before coming, he knew that Wei Xingyou was not like an ordinary alchemist, and the pills he refined were not for the purpose of improving his alchemy skills, but purely for the profit.

In addition, the Barrier Breaking Pill is a very special pill. Low-level cultivators basically cannot use it, while high-level cultivators often have very high requirements for its effectiveness. This means that the alchemist who refines this pill can easily end up losing more than he gains.

So Wei Xingyou never tried it, which is understandable given his personality...

After thinking for a while, Chen Mu said, "I don't expect powerful high-grade elixirs, some weaker barrier-breaking pills will do."

Anyway, he has already overcome most of his current bottleneck obstacles, so he no longer has such strong requirements for the quality of the pills.

"In that case... I can try to refine a few furnaces for my junior brother."

Wei Xingyou stroked his chin and said thoughtfully.

Chen Mu was delighted and immediately said, "If that's the case, thank you, Senior Brother Wei."

This is the advantage of knowing an alchemist. If you need any kind of elixir, you don’t have to look for it everywhere. You just need to pay some spirit stones and wait for the delivery.

Of course, this only applies to ordinary elixirs. If it is really some rare elixir, even if you can afford the spirit stones, you still have to see if the alchemist can refine it...

"How about this, Junior Brother, wait for a few days and come back to get the pill in half a month, how about that?" Wei Xingyou estimated silently, then said to Chen Mu.

Chen Mu was fine with it, nodded in agreement, and said, "Then it's settled. I'll give all the spirit stones I spent to you when the time comes."

"Hahaha... very good, very good." Wei Xingyou couldn't help laughing when talking about spirit stones.

The two chatted for a few more words, and when they saw that there was no more interest in talking, Chen Mu stood up and said goodbye, "Then I won't bother you anymore, Senior Brother..."

Wei Xingyou also stood up, thinking of taking a few steps forward, but suddenly he heard footsteps coming from the corridor outside. After thinking for a moment, he chuckled, and it seemed that he knew who was coming.

At this time, Chen Mu also heard the footsteps getting closer, so he stopped without changing his expression.

In the blink of an eye, a figure stepped into the alchemy cave.

Chen Mu looked intently and saw that the person who came was wearing a green jade crown on his head and a black robe. He was extremely handsome, not like a man but more like a female cultivator. However, his movements were vigorous and majestic, which made people feel extremely awkward.

While he was concentrating on watching, Wei Xingyou had already come forward with a smile and said, "Junior Brother Zhou, I have fulfilled my mission. The Body Tempering Pill you entrusted to me has turned out to be of top grade. This time, it will definitely allow Junior Brother's spirit pet to break through."

The male cultivator named Zhou was a little surprised, as if he had not expected that this time he would get the best product in Dancheng. He said, "Senior Brother Wei is indeed a genius in alchemy. I admire him." Wei Xingyou waved his hand, signaled Ting'er with his eyes, and handed the jade bottle to the male cultivator named Zhou, then introduced Chen Mu who was standing next to him.

"Junior Brother Zhou, this is Junior Brother Chen Mu from Tianhu Peak. A few years ago, when the two peaks were compared, although Junior Brother Zhou's ranking was not as high as before, he still won a spot for Tianhu Peak. What's rare and precious is that he participated in the battle as a junior brother."

"Oh?" The male cultivator named Zhou exclaimed softly, looking at Chen Mu and said, "So this is Junior Brother Chen. I've heard of you a long time ago."

Wei Xingyou chuckled and introduced the male cultivator to Chen Mu: "Junior Brother Chen, this is our sect's true disciple, Zhou Weiqian..."

Chen Mu's heart moved, and he bowed subtly, saying, "I have admired Senior Brother Zhou's reputation for a long time."

This was indeed true. Because of the outer sect trial, he and Niu Dali were deeply impressed by Zhou Weiqian. After getting to know him better, they found that he was indeed a leader among his peers.

He was the first to enter the inner gate, the second to enter the eighth level, and only slightly later than his senior brother who was of the same class and had superior qualifications and became the disciple of the headmaster.

He also competed for a spot in the summit as a junior fellow apprentice. Although he did not win the spot like Chen Mu, he also made a name for himself. In the subsequent summit, he won the championship and was promoted to the position of a true disciple. It has been fifteen years since then.

If it weren't for his pursuit of the thirteenth level of Qi Condensation, he might have already been a Foundation Establishment cultivator by now...

"Junior Brother Chen is so young, but he has already been included in the top ten inner disciples. There is hope that he will be able to learn the true teachings in the future." Zhou Weiqian smiled lightly and nodded, with a gentle attitude, as if he was very optimistic about Chen Mu.

Chen Mu was puzzled. Logically speaking, Zhou Weiqian was punished by his master because Niu Dali and he almost died. Even if he was not impressed by them, he should at least know that they existed, right?
How come looking at Zhou Weiqian now, it's as if he doesn't even know him, and only regards him as an ordinary junior brother...

In the blink of an eye, Chen Mu was puzzled, but he didn't have time to think about it any further, so he immediately suppressed the mixed thoughts in his mind and said a few words to deal with it.

After a while, Wei Xingyou saw that Zhou Weiqian hadn't mentioned the reward, so he took over the conversation and pointed at the jade bottle containing the elixir. "I'm not bragging, but as long as Junior Brother Zhou's three-eyed leopard swallows this elixir, it will definitely break through its own limitations and enter the realm of a high-level demon beast."

Zhou Weiqian kept smiling and turned around to chat with Wei Xingyou.

Seeing this, Chen Mu immediately found an excuse to say goodbye to the two of them and left.

He turned his head to take a look only after he had exited the corridor, and then he immediately controlled the Wind Pattern Cloud Banner and flew towards the Crossing the Sea Cliff.

After a while, he slowly landed on the sea-crossing cliff. Instead of returning to the pavilion immediately, he walked to the sea-viewing platform with a thoughtful look on his face.

"If Zhou Weiqian is deliberately pretending not to know me, then he is trying to downplay the matter."

"But if he doesn't even know how many of us there are, then the sect's punishment for him..."

"Not necessarily. Perhaps because more than ten years have passed, and I was not very talented and well-known at the time, I'm not sure if I didn't remember it..."

After a long while, his eyes fixed, and he turned back to Tinghai Pavilion to practice various magic spells...

The wind whistled and the leaves fluttered.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

Chen Mu walked out of the pavilion door, and without pausing, he used the Wind Movement Technique to fly towards the Danhen Land again...
