Although it was rare for an alchemist to be in the Origin Realm, it wasn't rare. However, a young man in his twenties not only had the attainment to refine Level Nine pills, but also had the cultivation of the Origin Realm. This was extremely shocking.
From now on, the people of the Small Elixir House could no longer treat Chu Mu as a noble alchemist. This was because he was also a powerful warrior with the cultivation of the Origin Realm.
No matter what, this was a good thing for the Small Elixir House. Nalan Fenghua suddenly understood why the Heavenly Elixir House only lowered their prices to compete with the Small Elixir House and did not use any other methods to suppress them. This should be due to Chu Mu's contribution.
"Miss, you're daydreaming again." The maid Xiao Huan teased. She rolled her eyes and asked, "Are you thinking about someone?"
"Shut up." Nalan Fenghua glared at Xiao Huan and blushed, "I'm just thinking about Chu Mu's background."
"I didn't say his name. How do you know that I'm talking about Chu Mu?" Xiao Huan mumbled, causing Nalan Fenghua's face to turn even redder.
"If you continue … If you continue, I'll hit you …" Nalan Fenghua acted like a little girl and raised her hand, pretending to hit Xiao Huan.
"Aiya, I won't do it anymore. I won't do it anymore. Miss, please forgive me." Xiao Huan was very cooperative. She quickly knelt down and begged while trembling.
"Pfft …" Nalan Fenghua was amused by Xiao Huan's attitude. It had been a long time since she was so relaxed. It was also the first time she laughed so happily in the past two years, "Alright, get up."
Xiao Huan stood up with a smile and patted the dust off her knees. Her expression became serious as she said, "Master Chu is so young, but he has such superb alchemy skills that even masters want to take him as their disciple. Moreover, he has the strength of the Origin Realm. No matter how you look at it, he is a rare genius. Miss, you should act when you're tempted. If you miss it, you won't get another chance."
Nalan Fenghua's face was still red. She glared at Xiao Huan and frowned slightly, revealing a worried expression, "The Yuwen clan is a clan in a high-class city. There are many Origin Realm experts in the clan. Although Yuwen Wutian is a spoiled brat, he is the second young master of the Yuwen clan. He has a high position. With his character, he won't let this go. he will definitely think of a way to deal with Master Chu."
"Miss, don't worry. Grandmaster Chu is so powerful. It won't be that easy to deal with him." Xiao Huan wasn't worried. In terms of knowledge, she was only a maid. She couldn't compare with Nalan Fenghua.
Nalan Fenghua shook her head and didn't say anything else. Instead, she quickly walked out to find Chu Mu and explain her worries.
"Don't worry." Chu Mu faintly smiled and said. Combining everything he had, as long as it wasn't a Sword Practitioner above the sixth rank or a Divine Condensation Realm Sword Practitioner, it was almost impossible to kill him, unless he was surrounded by several Sword Practitioners of the sixth rank.
Perhaps there were Sixth Revolution sword artists in the Yuwen clan, but there shouldn't be many of them.
Moreover, Chu Mu had the mutated Savage Beast battle pet, Bawang. Once it was summoned, Bawang's killing power would be extremely frightening. Ordinary Sixth Revolution sword artists wouldn't have any chance to fight back in front of Bawang.
As usual, during the day, Chu Mu would concoct pills in the Small Pellet House. At night, he would leave the Small Pellet House and return to his room to cultivate.
Tonight, because of some reasons, Chu Mu didn't leave the Small Pellet House until late at night.
Knowing that Chu Mu was a powerful expert, Nalan Fenghua didn't let her guards continue to follow Chu Mu. Even if there was any danger, her guards would only be a burden to Chu Mu.
Tonight, there was moonlight. The hazy moonlight sprinkled down, adding a thin layer of white to the dark world. Occasionally, a dog's bark would come from afar, making the night even darker and more silent.
The Small Pellet House was quite a distance away from the house. Chu Mu walked at a normal speed, and it would take him about half an hour to get there.
For some reason, Chu Mu slowed down his walking speed, as if he was admiring the boundless night. Who knew what was there to admire in this pitch-black night with only a trace of hazy moonlight? Not to mention, he was alone, without a beauty to accompany him.
Unknowingly, a dark cloud silently floated across the sky, covering the hazy moonlight. Suddenly, the world fell into a pitch-black darkness, and it was difficult to see one's own fingers.
Chu Mu raised his foot and took a step forward. Before his foot even touched the ground, he suddenly paused and tilted his head back slightly. At the same time, a pitch-black sword light seemed to blend in with the night sky as it streaked across his eyes. It was almost right in front of his eyes, causing Chu Mu to feel a sliver of pain in his eyes.
A hair's breadth away, just a hair's breadth away, and this black Sword Light would have pierced his temple, destroyed his brain, and killed him.
Even though the Sword Light blended into the night, Chu Mu could still see a trace of it.
After missing, the Sword Light disappeared. There was no attack, but Chu Mu knew that the attacker was still lurking around. His speed was extremely fast. After missing, he would immediately run away, waiting for the next opportunity to strike. This was a very good assassin.
Without thinking, Chu Mu knew that this assassin must have been hired by Yuwen Wutian. His purpose was to deal with him, and it would be best if he could kill him.
Carefully sensing his surroundings, Chu Mu was surprised to find that with his amazing perception, he could not sense the assassin's lurking. He spread out his tyrannical mind power, covering an area of two thousand meters in an instant, but still could not find him.
The effect of strengthening the mind power and increasing the activity of the mind power was reflected on another level.
Chu Mu's mind power spread out like ripples, covering an area of two thousand meters. He immediately felt that on his right, about one hundred and fifty meters away, there was a figure lurking. The figure was not breathing, and even the heartbeat was extremely low. All the aura was restrained. No wonder he could not sense it before.
An expert, a very frightening assassin. His cultivation must have reached the Origin Realm.
The opponent did not sense Chu Mu's mind power. Unless his mind power was close to Chu Mu's, it would be difficult to sense him.
What he did not know was that at this moment, his entire state was clearly "seen" by Chu Mu's mind power, including the very thin and sharp black dagger in his hand.
One hundred and fifty meters was not long, but the opponent's speed was extremely fast, and his explosive power was also very strong. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to retreat one hundred and fifty meters away the moment his sword missed. Chu Mu believed that with his current cultivation, he would not be able to achieve such speed.
In other words, as long as he chased after him, the assassin would realize that he was no match for him and would immediately retreat at the fastest speed possible. This was not what Chu Mu wanted.
On the surface, Chu Mu seemed to be a very calm person, but in reality, he was a decisive killer. He would never show mercy to those who were hostile to him.
This assassin had already made a move to kill him. There could only be one ending, and that was death. No matter how strong he was, where he came from, or who he was backed by, nothing could stop Chu Mu's determination to kill him.
Chu Mu first maintained a high level of vigilance. He knew that the assassin had been watching his every move.
After fifteen minutes, Chu Mu let out a sigh of relief. However, he still maintained his vigilance and continued to move forward. If there was no flaw, then he had to create one. Moreover, it had to be very natural, so that the assassin would think that Chu Mu had inadvertently revealed a flaw.
Chu Mu walked very slowly, as if to tell the assassin that he knew that he was lurking around, so he maintained a high level of vigilance to prevent being attacked.
This assassin was very patient and did not make a move.
Even if Chu Mu's footsteps were slow, he still unknowingly approached the house. The assassin was still secretly following him, maintaining a distance of 150 meters from Chu Mu, waiting for the best opportunity to make a move.
The dark clouds still covered the moonlight, and the world was still dark. However, in front of him, there was a little light. It was the light of a flame.
Under the torch, there was a beautiful figure.
"Master Chu, is that you?" A gentle voice came with the night wind. It was Nalan Fenghua's voice.
Chu Mu was slightly startled. He did not expect that Nalan Fenghua would actually come out of the house to wait for him at the door in the middle of the night. For a moment, Chu Mu's heart gave birth to a strange feeling. It was something that he had never felt before, and he could not explain it clearly.
The assassin lurking in the darkness moved.
His figure blended into the darkness like a ghost, silently crossing one hundred and fifty meters. The sharp and thin black short sword pierced out, splitting the darkness of the night. It swept towards Chu Mu's back, aiming directly at his heart.
The sword qi, sword intent, and dark profound power on the short sword instantly exploded, forming a horrifying strangulation, covering half a meter around the short sword. Even the dust was shattered once again.
Chu Mu's figure instantly shattered and disappeared. The assassin's eyes widened, and he immediately realized that something was wrong. At the same time, he reacted at full speed, exploding in an instant. His whole body flew to the side at an unbelievable speed. In just a thousandth of a second, he would be able to leave this place and hide again.
"Since you are here, then stay." A light sigh seemed to be heard right next to the assassin's ear, making his hair stand on end. A cold current rushed up from the bottom of his feet, along his spine and into his brain.
No matter how much he thought about it, he would never have thought that the flaw in that split second was also a trap. Most importantly, he did not expect that his target's strength would be so horrifying.
If he missed this chance, he would lose his life. The assassin also knew that he had no chance to escape. Therefore, he decided to fight back.
A terrifying sword pressure burst out, and the dark profound made the surroundings even darker. The short sword in the assassin's hand also exploded in an instant, turning into thousands of black lights that circled around and shot out in all directions. Everything was covered by the black lights.
He believed that under this mutual destruction attack, Chu Mu would be severely wounded or even killed.
At the last moment, the assassin did not give up hope. He still wanted to escape. However, a wave of pain came from his heart. He knew that his heart had been crushed, just like how he had crushed other people's hearts in the past.
