<h4>Chapter 1299: Chapter 1296: A Cmity of Death</h4>


    "Impossible!" Chu Xingyuan said with a ferocious expression, "n Leader, I don’t believe this kid can refine top-quality Dustless Pills."


    The fact that Xu Wendong refined a five-pattern pill was already uneptable to them, let alone Xu Wendong iming he refined a nine-pattern top-quality elixir.


    If this were true, they would indeed be utterly disgraced.


    Mu Wanqiu didn’t speak, but instead poured the elixirs from the remaining four jade vials onto the White Jade te.


    In an instant.


    The crystal-clear elixirs came into view for everyone, and without exception, each elixir had several pill patterns on them, appearing just like small Golden Dragons coiled around them.


    "How could this be?"


    Chu Xingyuan’s face was nk with shock. At this point, he had no choice but to ept that Xu Wendong’s alchemy skill was beyond his reach.


    Xu Wendong nced at him with indifferent eyes, without the slightest concern.


    "Perhaps this is what they mean by ’new talent emerges with every generation’," Shi Sulong couldn’t help but exim, his eyes filled with awe as he looked at Xu Wendong, no longer holding any underestimation.


    Out of a hundred sets of ingredients, he managed to refine ny-five Dustless Pills, and even the lowest grade among them had five pill patterns. They knew they weren’t even qualified to carry Xu Wendong’s shoes in terms of alchemy.


    Wu Qinfeng also said, "If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I certainly wouldn’t believe that a Mahayana Period Cultivator could actually refine top-quality Dustless Pills."


    "Young Master Xu’s expertise in alchemy is truly unmatched by both predecessors and sessors!"


    "Please forgive us for our previous disrespect toward you." He said, bowing deeply, nowpletely convinced and respectful toward Xu Wendong, not daring to show any slight.


    Even if he only had a Great Ascension Phase Cultivation Level, his achievements in alchemy would soon make him famous across the Chaotic Star Sea.


    "Young Master Xu bing a Guest Elder of the Mu Family is indeed a blessing for us!" Mu Wanqiu came to her senses from her shock and couldn’t help but sigh.


    She initially took in Xu Wendong because of Lei Nanxiang, thinking to help Xu Wendong resist Lei Nanxiang.


    But she never expected that.


    This young man’s alchemy skills would be so astonishingly unprecedented.


    "Young Master Xu, this old man must also apologize to you." Chu Xingyuan said with a smile, "It’s my shortsightedness, please don’t take offense."


    "As fellow Honored Contributors of the Mu Family, we should unite and let bygones be bygones!" Xu Wendong smiled slightly.


    Chu Xingyuan added, "To express my apologies, tonight I set a feast at Biyun Pavilion, I hope Young Master Xu will definitely honor us with your presence!" His posture was humble, full of sincerity.


    "Alright." Xu Wendong eventually agreed to Chu Xingyuan’s proposal, after all, as fellow Honored Contributors of the Mu Family, they would have to work together in the future, meeting often – there was no need to hold grudges.


    "Thank you all for refining elixirs for the Mu Family during this time, these Spirit Stones serve as your reward." Mu Wanqiu, in a good mood, casually took out four storage bags, each containing one hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones.


    Actually, the Mu Family’s Honored Contributors do have ies, with an annual sry of one million top-grade Spirit Stones.


    However, Mu Wanqiu is wealthy and generous, every time she asks Honored Contributors to refine elixirs, if she’s in a good mood, she rewards them with some top-grade Spirit Stones.


    "Thank you, n Leader!"


    Xu Wendong and the others bowed to express gratitude.


    When they rose, Mu Wanqiu had already left the front hall.


    "Young Master Xu, tonight I’ll be waiting for you at Biyun Pavilion!" Chu Xingyuan said with a smile to Xu Wendong, then turned and left the front hall.


    "Young Master Xu, see you tonight."


    Wu Qinfeng and Shi Sulong also greeted and then left the front hall.


    When Xu Wendong had just returned to his own courtyard, Mu Yu, dressed in a white long dress, came walking gracefully, with an ethereal vibe.


    "Greetings, Housekeeper Mu!" Xu Wendong greeted politely, then invited her into the pavilion, pouring her a cup of water.


    "Young Master Xu, do you know you’vemitted a great taboo today?" Mu Yu looked at Xu Wendong calmly.


    Xu Wendong furrowed his brows, "What taboo?"


    Mu Yu said, "You shouldn’t have brought out so many Dustless Pills."


    Xu Wendong asked puzzled, "Why is that?"


    Mu Yu’s eyes shed with a hint of bewilderment, evidently not expecting Xu Wendong to ask such a naive question, then said, "Every alchemist’s pill formation rate is different, but one thing is clear, whenever an alchemist helps the master refine elixirs, they will secretly withhold some."


    "This act has be an unspoken rule within the alchemy profession."


    "And today, you brought out all the elixirs you refined, which was clearly a p in the face to those three Honored Contributors."


    "Are you sure they won’t retaliate against you secretly?"


    Xu Wendong smiled slightly and said, "What you mentioned, I, Mr. Xu, naturally understand, but it seems you’ve overlooked something, Housekeeper Mu."


    "Although I am a Guest Elder of the Mu Family, I am also someone who was taken in."


    "It was the Mu Family who first took me in, giving me a shelter, and then granted me the status of an Honored Contributor."


    "As the saying goes, one should repay kindness."


    "Since I refined elixirs, I won’t do something ungrateful and secretly withhold elixirs that rightfully belong to the Mu Family."


    His eyes were clear and determined.


    Actually, Xu Wendong had also refined elixirs for others and even withheld some elixirs.


    As Mu Yu mentioned, this behavior is already considered an unwritten rule within the alchemistmunity.


    However.


    When refining elixirs for the Mu Family, he never intended to withhold any.


    Mu Yu was moved by his sincere eyes, feeling a rise of goodwill, then said, "Even so, Young Master Xu, you shouldn’t have disyed those Dustless Pills in front of everyone, it will incite jealousy."


    "It may even lead to a deadly disaster!" She said this with a hint of gravity in her eyes.


    Xu Wendong couldn’t help but furrow his brows, "What does Housekeeper Mu mean by this? Is someone nning to harm me, Mr. Xu?"


    Mu Yu’s expression turned serious, "Besides you, our Mu Family has three Honored Contributors, and among these three, there is one with a treacherous heart, who bears grudges."


    "Though he is impressed by your alchemy, one thing is clear: your presence has severely impacted his position in the Mu Family."


    "Even if he once had favors from the n Leader, past kindness will fade with time."


    "Therefore, if he wishes to establish himself in the Mu Family, the best way is to eliminate you."


    Xu Wendong quietly said, "Everything I, Mr. Xu, do is on a whim, without much thought."


    "If someone truly wishes to harm me, I, Mr. Xu, naturally won’t sit and wait for death."


    Mu Yu nodded slightly, "I’ve said all I can, take care, Young Master Xu. I advise you not to attend the banquet at Biyun Pavilion." With that, she stood up and left.


    Watching Mu Yu’s leaving figure, a glint of sharpness passed through Xu Wendong’s eyes. The reason I was so high-profile today was to provoke someone into killing me, wasn’t it?


    If that’s the case, why not go?
