<h4>Chapter 1297: Chapter 1294: The Face-pping Begins</h4>


    Afterward, Xu Wendong returned to the Jade Garden, where he sat cross-legged in his room and took out the herbs and pill prescription from his storage bag, carefully studying them.


    Compared to refining other elixirs, the conditions for refining the Dustless Pill are a bit harsher, requiring it to be done in the quiet of night.


    Only then will the sess rate be higher.


    Because to refine the Dustless Pill, the Power of the Stars must be infused into it.


    Nightfall arrived.


    In the blink of an eye, the Mu Mansion also became somewhat quieter. Before beginning alchemy, Xu Wendong took off his robe, revealing his strong physique.


    Dim starlight cascaded onto his body, making him appear as if cloaked in a silver radiance.


    After removing his clothes, Xu Wendong entered the artificialke in the courtyard again, enjoying the coolness brought by the water, releasing a melodious moan.


    "Too bad there’s no woman around, otherwise I’d insist on having a couple’s bath!" Three days without touching a woman, Xu Wendong was feeling somewhat dry and parched.


    He nced down at his erect Dragon Root, feeling he owed his ’second brother’ for not fulfilling his duties as a good ’big brother’.


    Once the mes within him gradually subsided, he got up and left the artificialke, intending to return to his room to refine the Dustless Pill, as the night deepened.


    But just as he left theke, Mu Wanqiu from a distant courtyard also caught sight of that massive figure on his body, causing her watery eyes to tremble suddenly.


    "How is he so astonishing?" Mu Wanqiu’s heart surged like a tidal wave, unexpectedly affected by Xu Wendong’s arousal which had grown to such an extent.


    This made her blush, while an inexplicable longing arose within her.


    At that moment, she couldn’t help but fantasize.


    What would it feel like to have Xu Wendong’s Dragon Root inside her?


    It should be fulfilling, right?


    Maybe a bit painful.


    But definitelyfortable.


    All of a sudden.


    Her thoughts wandered, and her right hand unconsciously reached between her legs.


    By then.


    It was already moist as spring...


    ------


    Entering the room, Xu Wendong began alchemy.


    He brought out the Golden Crow Furnace and ced different herbs inside it ording to the sequence recorded in the pill prescription.


    Then he activated the Phoenix Fire within him to start burning the pill furnace.


    The Golden Crow Furnace was a rare spiritual artifact that could greatly enhance the refining of elixirs, not to mention he possessed the rare Phoenix Fire.


    For him, thebination of Phoenix Fire and the Golden Crow Furnace was trulyplementary.


    However.


    The Dustless Pill, after all, is a spiritual medicine, demanding a great challenge.


    The first batch of elixirs ended in failure.


    Yet, he did not be discouraged but instead summarized the failures, eventually refining the Dustless Pill in the second batch.


    "Only three pill patterns?"


    Xu Wendong clicked his tongue, unable to help butment: "Quality is too poor; if handed to the Mu Family, it would simply be embarrassing for me!" With that, he swallowed the Dustless Pill, then continued to refine elixirs.


    Unlike before, this time he refined ten Dustless Pills at once, although the difficulty increased slightly, greatly reducing the time for alchemy.


    Dustless Pill truly deserves to be a spiritual medicine.


    Once an elixir entered his abdomen, Xu Wendong immediately felt a sensation offort throughout his body and soul, as if both his physical body and soul had been thoroughly satisfied.


    Little did he know.


    The process of refining the pills was fully observed by Mu Wanqiu.


    "No wonder this boy has such exceptional skills in alchemy, surprisingly so easily refining the Dustless Pill."


    "And, with three pill patterns."


    Mu Wanqiu’s heart could not be calm, though the Mu Family had three alchemists, the elixirs they refined rarely had pill patterns.


    In terms of quality, they were far inferior to Xu Wendong’s, saying there was a world of difference was not exaggerated.


    However.


    She did not expect Xu Wendong would be dissatisfied with his own refined elixirs, as if refining three pill-patterned elixirs was a disgrace to him.


    "Lei Nanxiang, just what kind of man did you fall for?" Mu Wanqiu murmured to herself, her curiosity about Xu Wendong growing ever stronger.


    ------


    Refining the Dustless Pill requires specific shichen timings, even if Xu Wendong could refine ten pills at once, he could only refine two batches at most in one night.


    Therefore, for the past few days, he had been in seclusion, wholeheartedly focusing on alchemy.


    Besides the first batch of elixirs ending in failure.


    The rest encountered no unexpected issues during alchemy.


    However.


    During refining, he ingested five pills of poor quality, while the remaining ny-five Dustless Pills were sorted into five jade vials ording to different grades.


    After refining all the elixirs, Xu Wendong sat cross-legged and began cultivation. Once dawn broke, he left Jade Garden and headed toward the front hall.


    Since the elixirs were refined, he ought to submit all of them to the Mu Family.


    At the same time.


    Chu Xingyuan and the others also learned that Xu Wendong hadpleted refining and was preparing to submit the elixirs, thus they arrived together.


    In fact, they hadpleted their own refining earlier, but dyed submitting, solely to wait until Xu Wendong finished so they could hand it over together, intending to publicly embarrass him.


    "How many Dustless Pills did Young Master Xu refine?" A chubby elder named Shi Sulong asked, smiling at Xu Wendong, eager to know the count of Dustless Pills he produced.


    Before Xu Wendong could respond, another honored contributor named Wu Qinfeng let out a heartyugh: "Young Master Xu is truly a leader among men; the elixirs he refined must be more than ours, that’s certain."


    Though spoken this way, his eyes revealed a yful cunning, intending to raise Xu Wendong high only to let him fall hard.


    Yet.


    They were unaware that Xu Wendong’s refined elixirs indeed far exceeded theirs.


    Chu Xingyuan also looked at Xu Wendong with disdain: "Xu, I advise you to be sensible, resign from the position of an honored contributor for the Mu Family; we don’t want to work with such ants."


    "Otherwise, don’t me the old man for showing no mercy!"


    Thinking of a cultivator in the Mahayana Realm holding the position of an honored contributor for the Mu Family enraged him, feeling personally insulted.


    Xu Wendong chuckled softly: "I didn’t stop you; if you all don’t wish to work with Mr. Xu, you can leave!"


    One simple sentence left them at a loss for words.


    The Mu Family, after all, stands as one of the Three Great ns on Bi Quan Ling Ind, bing an honored contributor to the Mu Family is what many alchemists dream of.


    How could they easily resign from such a splendid opportunity?


    Unless their heads were kicked by a donkey.


    Just then.


    A gentle sound of footsteps approached, and as the crowd turned towards it, they saw Mu Wanqiu in a blue long dress, exuding an ethereal air, walking over.


    Mu Yu followed closely behind, appearing very respectful.


    "Greetings to the n Leader!"


    Everyone bowed and saluted.


    Mu Wanqiu took a seat in the front chair, her face showing a faint smile: "I’ve heard the four honored contributors have all refined Dustless Pills, but how was the sess rate?"


    Chu Xingyuan smiled wryly at Xu Wendong, his lips curling into a sinister smile: "Why not have a look at how many Dustless Pills Young Master Xu refined first?"
