Chapter 258: Chapter 227: Inner Sect Elder_l

Advancing to the Golden Core Stage would surely improve his treatment, but Xu

Mu never imagined there would be such a good thing.

If he were previously a wage worker, then what Du Yu’s words imply now is clearly that he wants him to be a manager, otherwise he would not gather everyone here.

However amazing something sounds, who would willingly give it up? Xu Mu always felt that there was more behind the offer.

The gazes of the crowd met each other. After a few breaths, a Golden Core Elder who sat closer to Du Yu stood up and said, “Due to the large increase in demand for pills recently caused by the demonic disaster in the Southern Domain, why not let Elder Xu serve as a supervisor for the guild?”

A supervisor is like a foreman, responsible for managing Pill Masters as they execute Sect tasks.

The role feels a bit like a supervisor from the previous world and certainly holds some benefits.

Xu Mu was somewhat surprised. He didn’t even know the Elder proposing this.

Why was this man speaking for him?

No sooner had his voice fallen when another individual, discontented, also stood up.

“We already have eight overseers in the Alchemy Room, there are no extra Pill

Masters to distribute!”

“If there aren’t any, then recruit more. We can’t miss the opportunity to earn more Spirit Stones!” another person interjected.

“Recruit? Easier said than done! Everyone is short of Alchemists right now, where would we recruit them from?”

“As long as the pay is high enough, there’s no fear of not being able to recruit people!”

“Will you cover the extra costs? Hmph!”

“This, for the sake of the Sect…”

Thus, the two parties argued endlessly about the arrangements for Xu Mu.

The only ones who did not join in the argument were Xu Mu, and Du Yu and the two men beside him.

Xu Mu had a thought and faintly understood what was going on.

Du Yu was using him as a scapegoat.

He wasn’t familiar with the two men beside Du Yu, but it wasn’t hard to guess who they were.

Sitting next to Du Yu with such calm expressions, aside from the two Vice President of the Pill Hall, there wouldn’t be any other people.

Of the two groups arguing in the hall, one was undoubtedly Du Yu s close confidants. Xu Mu wasn’t sure about the other one’s allegiance to which Vice

President.

He had only joined the Pill Hall a few years ago and had spent most of his time secluded in cultivation. He hardly knew anyone, and understanding the complex interpersonal relationships within was even more impossible.

Power struggles between factions within the thousand-year-old Fairy Moon

Palace were unavoidable.

Xu Mu had not expected that he had just advanced to the Golden Core Stage,

and he had already been drawn into it.

“Enough! Don’t argue anymore! We all have lived for hundreds of years, why

make such a fuss.”

Du Yu effortlessly put an end to their argument.

“The matter of recruiting new people is not urgent, just assign some people to Elder Xu for a trial run for now,” Du Yu glanced at Xu Mu and continued, “Elder Xu, what do you think?”

Xu Mu really wanted to refuse directly. He didn’t want to find trouble for himself.

But he wouldn’t refuse unless he was a fool.

Once caught up in these struggles, you’re owned by them.

Once he stepped onto the chessboard, he would inevitably become a pawn.

If he were to refuse, he would surely offend Du Yu, and the other two might not treat him kindly either.

Because he had the strength and the qualifications, even if he promised that he wouldn’t compete for power and profit, no one would believe him.

At this moment, Xu Mu suddenly remembered something.

That is, it seems that the Fairy Moon Palace has never recruited Inner Sect

elders of the Golden Core stage.

This situation reveals two possibilities.
