Chen Qigu left the Small Elixir House angrily, scaring Nalan Fenghua, Qin Yang and the rest.
"He wanted to take me in as a disciple, but I rejected him." Chu Mu's simple explanation caused Nalan Fenghua and the others to be stunned. Then, their expressions greatly changed. Their hearts were extremely complicated and they couldn't describe their feelings.
Chen Qigu was a grandmaster after all. He had his own magnanimity and did not take revenge on Chu Mu for rejecting him. However, he took away two Yang Reversion Pills for research purposes. Chen Qigu also sent some people to deliver some low and middle grade desolate stones. The third pill became the Small Elixir House's treasure pill.
In fact, a Rank 9 pill was not qualified to be a treasure pill. However, the Small Elixir House was not big enough and the Yang Reversion Pill was quite miraculous, so it temporarily became a treasure pill.
Due to various conditions, the Small Elixir House rented a bigger shop with two floors. The first floor was three times the size of the original. In terms of scale, it expanded by a lot. Of course, it also cost a lot of desolate coins. Fortunately, Chen Qigu had used the desolate stones to buy the two Yang Reversion Pills. Chu Mu took out most of the desolate stones to let Nalan Fenghua buy more herbs.
Taking advantage of the fact that the alchemy competition had just ended and the Small Elixir House was in the limelight, it was the best time to develop. Large quantities of pills were necessary.
The new shop was located on one of the main streets of Desolate City. It was bustling with people and the location was very good. The first floor of the new shop was divided into half and refurbished as an alchemy room.
The alchemy room had to be insulated and soundproof. It had to be able to withstand high temperatures and so on. Once the door was closed, it would be sealed. The alchemy room had shelves for herbs and various porcelain bottles. There were also four bronze alchemy furnaces.
The four bronze alchemy furnaces were requested by Chu Mu. His purpose was to refine more pills.
The development of the Small Elixir House could not only rely on flawless pills. They had to have normal and excellent quality pills and even more.
Qin Yang was in charge of one alchemy furnace, which was used to refine Rank 1 to Rank 3 pills. He just had to do his best. The Rank 1, Rank 2 and Rank 3 pills that he refined had a 30% chance of being of excellent quality. The rest were all normal quality.
As for Chu Mu, he was in charge of the three pill furnaces. At first, Qin Yang was extremely shocked, but later on, he became numb to it.
One of the furnaces was used to refine First Grade, Second Grade, and Third Grade medicinal pills of excellent quality. Another furnace was used to refine First Grade, Second Grade, and Third Grade medicinal pills of flawless quality. The third furnace was used to refine Fourth Grade to Sixth Grade medicinal pills.
Every day, the number of pills Chu Mu refined was shocking. But if he took them all out to sell, they would all be sold out. Every day, the Little Pill Pavilion made a huge profit.
Fortunately, Nalan Fenghua didn't blindly sell them. She kept half of the daily production and sold the other half.
Correspondingly, the Heavenly Pill Building also made a move. To a certain extent, they lowered the price of the pills and competed with the Small Pill House. They did not use any other improper methods to suppress the Small Pill House.
Time flew. In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
Five months ago, the Small Pill Pavilion had made a huge profit and bought the shop, officially becoming the Small Pill Pavilion's property. After that, they made profits every day. In addition to the original workers, they hired two more. Otherwise, they would be too busy.
The first floor of the Small Pill House sold First Grade to Sixth Grade medicinal pills. As for the second floor, in addition to the inner hall, it was also used to sell Seventh Grade to Ninth Grade medicinal pills. But now, the Small Pill House didn't have any medicinal pills above Seventh Grade, so it was temporarily shelved.
First Grade, Second Grade, and Third Grade medicinal pills. In addition to the original Energy Pill, Golden Injury Pill, and Blood Replenishing Pill, there were also three or four other varieties.
After half a year, Qin Yang's alchemy skills had improved. When refining First Grade medicinal pills, there was a 70% chance of reaching Excellent quality. Second Grade medicinal pills had a 60% chance of reaching Excellent quality. Third Grade medicinal pills had a 50% chance of reaching Excellent quality. Fourth Grade medicinal pills had a 30% chance of reaching Excellent quality. He could barely refine Fifth Grade medicinal pills. This kind of progress was unimaginable for Qin Yang.
As for Chu Mu, his improvement was indiscernible, but he himself knew how great his improvement was. If he had the pill recipe, he could easily concoct a tenth rank pill. Even if it was a human rank pill, he could still concoct it.
The four bronze pill furnaces were all replaced with a higher grade refined copper pill furnace. The ink charcoal was also replaced with a higher grade refined ink charcoal. It helped a little more with alchemy. The number of pills he could refine per day had increased by 10%.
The Small Pill House also had a lot of medicinal pills in stock.
In this half a year, Chu Mu did not give up on training. His Sword Qi had a breakthrough and reached the beginning of the Qi Transformation Realm. However, the purity of his Sword Qi was so high that even a Peak Qi Sea Realm Swordsman would feel ashamed.
In addition, his mental power's activity had greatly increased. With each attack, the sword intent's Godseal Blood Curse had been weakened two to three times faster. According to the current situation, it would take three to four years for the sword intent's Godseal Blood Curse to dissipate.
Once the sword intent's Godseal Blood Curse disappeared, Chu Mu would be able to use his sword intent. At that time, he would be able to combine his sword intent with his mental power to break the gold profound's Godseal Blood Curse.
If it was the complete Godseal Blood Curse, Chu Mu wouldn't have a chance. But this was the drawback of an incomplete Godseal Blood Curse.
As he continued to refine pills, his mental power's activity would continue to increase, and the Godseal Blood Curse would weaken even more.
The Small Pill House's First Grade to Sixth Grade medicinal pills took up more than half of the Desolate City's market. Even if the Heavenly Pill House lowered their prices, they couldn't stop it. The Heavenly Pill House simply couldn't sell Flawless Grade medicinal pills.
Even if an Alchemy Grandmaster were to refine it, it would be difficult to refine a large number of Flawless Grade Elixirs, unless it was an Alchemy Grandmaster. However, there was only one Alchemy Grandmaster in the Heavenly Elixir Building. It was impossible for him to refine Grade One to Grade Six Elixirs.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Pill House could still sell Seventh Grade to Ninth Grade medicinal pills. In this area, the Small Pill House was in a blank state.
But if the Small Pill House began to involve Seventh Grade, Eighth Grade, and Ninth Grade medicinal pills, the Heavenly Pill House's interests would be greatly impacted. Therefore, in order to prevent this from happening, the Heavenly Pill House prohibited the circulation of any Seventh Grade and above medicinal pill formulas. They also purchased Seventh Grade, Eighth Grade, and Ninth Grade medicinal pill formulas in advance, cutting off the possibility of the Small Pill House obtaining Seventh Grade and above medicinal pill formulas in the Desolate City.
The Small Pill House didn't care about this. At present, it was indeed not suitable to open up the market for Seventh Grade and above medicinal pills. They would first stabilize the market for Sixth Grade medicinal pills before making any plans.
The Heavenly Pill House Master Yan Lie knew Chu Mu's strength and couldn't be provoked. Therefore, although there was competition between the Small Pill House and the Heavenly Pill House, there was peace.
In the blink of an eye, another half a year had passed. It had been more than a year since Chu Mu came to Heaven Wasteland Domain.
According to Chen Qigu, there should still be a year or more before the Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace's centennial election. At that time, Chen Qigu would inform Chu Mu in advance.
Chu Mu had a good impression of this Pill Master who wanted to take him in as a disciple. If there was a chance in the future, he didn't mind giving Chen Qigu some pointers.
Chu Mu was not boasting. The current him, in terms of attainments in Pill Refining, was not below Chen Qigu's. In the future, he would certainly be able to reach a higher level.
Moreover, he had the inheritance of a Great Grandmaster in his mind. Taking out a little would be enough for Chen Qigu to comprehend for a long time.
In this half a year, everything went on as usual. However, Qin Yang's Pill Refining skills had improved further. He could safely refine Fifth Grade medicinal pills of ordinary quality. Occasionally, he would perform extremely well and refine Fifth Grade medicinal pills of excellent quality. As for Sixth Grade medicinal pills, there was no hope at the moment.
The business of the Small Pill House gradually stabilized. After all, the Border City was only a low-level city. The number of swordsmen inside was limited, and there would not be many swordsmen from outside. Therefore, when the sales of medicinal pills reached a certain level, it could not continue to increase.
Even so, the daily profits of the Small Pill House were extremely high. In Chu Mu's spatial ring, there were a large number of middle and lower grade desolate stones. This was his share.
Chu Mu's Sword Qi cultivation had increased to the initial Qi Transformation Realm. This was because he had done his best to suppress the increase of Sword Qi. He had constantly tempered the Sword Qi over and over again, making the Sword Qi incomparably pure. His Hidden Edge Art had restrained all Sword Qi fluctuations. In the eyes of others, he did not have the slightest Sword Qi cultivation.
However, no one cared because Chu Mu had displayed superb Pill Refining skills. Strength and whatnot were secondary.
During this period, something more important happened. An elder from the Heavenly Pill House's headquarters came to the Border City to meet with Chu Mu. He promised Chu Mu all kinds of benefits and wanted to recruit Chu Mu to the Heavenly Pill House to become a professional Pill Master.
Chu Mu refused without hesitation and did not explain. His forcefulness caused the elder's expression to change greatly. Just as he was about to flare up, Chu Mu's body emitted a tyrannical aura that crushed his body. That terrifying sword pressure almost suffocated him.
One had to know that this elder's cultivation had reached the Origin Realm. It was Dacheng.
At this point, the Heavenly Pill House could finally confirm that Chu Mu's cultivation was at least in the Complete Origin Realm. To have such a cultivation at such a young age and to have such exquisite Pill Refining skills, he definitely had an extraordinary background. He might even be a genius disciple from a powerful force in some huge city.
The Heavenly Pill House further implemented the strategy of not offending Chu Mu.
"In another year or so, it should be the Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace's centennial election. At that time, I will leave. At that time, Qin Yang will probably only be able to refine Grade Six Pills." In the room, Chu Mu, who had finished cultivating, thought to himself, "From now on, the development of the Small Pill House will depend on Qin Yang and Nalan Fenghua. Since that's the case, I won't touch Grade Seven Pills and above."
With the Pill Recipe, he could refine Grade Seven Pills and above. At that time, the business of the Small Pill House would definitely be better. However, Chu Mu would have to leave sooner or later. Once he left, the Small Pill House would have no Grade Seven Pills and above to sell. It would be a blow to their reputation.
It would be better to let nature take its course. Even if there were Grade Seven Pills and above, they would be refined by Qin Yang. However, that would be many years later.
The next day, a few people came to the Small Pill House. When one of them reported his name, Nalan Fenghua's expression suddenly changed.
