Chapter 263: Chapter 232 Difficulties one after another_1
In the main hall of the Pill Hall at Fairy Moon Palace, the air was filled with the scent of medicinal herbs and a radiant spiritual energy.
“Elder, everyone is here!”
An elderly man with white hair and a long beard reaching to his chest, handed a roster made of golden silk to Xu Mu.
In front of Xu Mu, thirty or so Alchemists of the Fairy Moon Palace are standing orderly, each dressed in the unique cyan silk robes of Fairy Moon Palace Alchemists.
“Hmm!”
Xu Mu nodded, took the roster, looked around, and then began to flip through it page by page.
Ni Wenjie, 280 years old, on the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, a tier five Alchemist!
Wang Peng, 170 years old, on the fourth level of Foundation Establishment, a tier four Alchemist!
Li Chen, 129 years old, on the third level of Foundation Establishment, a tier four Alchemist!
Fang Zheng, 53 years old, on the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, a tier three Alchemist!
Liu Fengzhen, 41 years old, on the eighth level of Qi Cultivation, a tier two Alchemist!
Duan Honglian, 35 years old, on the seventh level of Qi Cultivation, a tier two Alchemist!
The roster catalogued the information of thirty-five people, who were specifically the Alchemists standing before Xu Mu, including the elderly man who gave him the roster.
Xu Mu quickly flipped through it, his brows furrowing involuntarily.
A deep sigh formed within his heart.
He knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch.
The Alchemists that had been split off from others’ administrations were simply of poor quality.
There was only one tier five Alchemist, who turned out to be the old man who handed him the roster. And at a glance, it was clear that the man was on his last legs, it was uncertain if he could still perform alchemy.
There were eight tier four Alchemists, the youngest among them was nearly a hundred years old, clearly lacking in talent.
Twenty-two were tier three Alchemists, several of whom had already exceeded the optimal age for breaking through to Foundation Establishment, so their chances of advancing to tier four Alchemist were slim.
There were four tier two Alchemists, none of them showing any unique talents, they were not even as good as his two disciples.
He had already suspected that others wouldn’t give him their best men, but he didn’t expect them to be so shameless as to not give him a single good one.
He estimated that if it weren’t for his sudden appearance, these people would have probably been dismissed.
Xu Mu actually wanted to dismiss them all and recruit a new batch of talented people. But clearly, if he really did that, the two deputy hall masters he had met only once would definitely use this against him.
In the end, they might even use this as an excuse to kick him out of Fairy Moon Palace.
The situation before him was obviously intended to make things difficult for him.
They wanted to force him to quit!
Forget it, I didn’t expect to benefit from them anyway! Once I reveal my identity as a tier seven Alchemist after a while, I should be self-sufficient!”
He has to improve his strength as soon as possible, to get rid of the shackles of lifespan, and to leave the Fairy Moon Palace to protect his family sooner.
If it weren’t for hiding from the pursuit of Tianyang Palace, he wouldn’t have stayed in Fairy Moon Palace, much less have taken on this troublesome task voluntarily.
Now, for the sake of staying in the Fairy Moon Palace, he had to tolerate it.
The people below saw Xu Mu frowning and staying silent, they all tensed up, fearing Xu Mu might cause trouble as the newcomer.
“Alright, you may all leave! Continue as you were before!”
Xu Mu didn’t want to give himself trouble, hoping to make a smooth transition.
But upon hearing his words, the people below remained motionless.
Xu Mu was somewhat displeased.
Regardless of how new he was, or how low his status was, he was still an inner sect elder in the Golden Core Stage, not someone these poor Alchemists could defy.
Just as Xu Mu was about to open his mouth to admonish them and establish his authority, Ni Wenjie quickly came forward and handed him a sheet of paper. “Elder, this is the task assigned to our Pill Hall, you need to review it first!” “Oh?”
