After a little research, sure enough, one was the real Gold One and the other was a puppet, but it was a puppet refined from a living person. The method was quite cruel.
Taking out the Kill Notice, he threw it on Gold One's body and took away Gold One's spatial bracelet. Chu Mu left. After dawn, someone would find Gold One's body here.
When he returned to the house, the house was brightly lit. Everyone didn't sleep, they all stayed in the hall to wait for the result.
Seeing Chu Mu return, everyone was relieved and happy from the bottom of their hearts. Nalan Fenghua was even more excited.
"Gold One is dead." Chu Mu said.
"Great, according to the rules of Bloodthorn Tower, after three failed assassinations, we give up on the target." Nalan He exhaled a long breath.
"Well, go rest. Tomorrow, we will continue to open the shop." Chu Mu smiled, turned and walked out of the hall and returned to his room.
Until Chu Mu's back disappeared, Nalan Fenghua withdrew his gaze and left the hall.
…
At dawn the next day, the Small Dan House opened as usual. Chu Mu was also among them. The Heavenly Dan House's people who monitored the Small Dan House immediately returned to the Heavenly Dan House to report the news.
According to Gold One's Kill Notice, last night was the time when Gold One tried to assassinate Chu Mu, but now Chu Mu appeared, indicating that he was alive and well. What did that mean?
Did Gold One's assassination failed?
Or did Gold One not assassinate?
Yan Lie had been thinking about this question. Was there an assassination?
"Lord, something bad has happened." A deacon went upstairs and shouted in a hurry.
"What's the matter?" Yan Lie's thoughts were interrupted. He frowned and stared at the deacon unhappily.
"Someone found two corpses outside the city, wearing night clothes, and also found this post." The deacon knew how to do things and directly took the post.
Yan Lie took a look and his face suddenly changed. His hands trembled as if he had a hot potato. The post fell to the ground. Although the sound was light, it was like thunder in Yan Lie's ears.
In his position, he knew more than the average person. He immediately recognized that this was Gold One's ultimate move.
Chu Mu was not dead. Two corpses were found outside the city wearing night-traveling clothes, and there was a kill notice on the corpses. It was easy to make connections and guesses.
There was only one thought in Yan Lie's mind. Since Gold One was dead, then the one who killed him was most likely Chu Mu. Even if it wasn't Chu Mu, it must have had a great connection with Chu Mu.
Even a powerful assassin like Gold One had died under Chu Mu's sword. This showed that Chu Mu's strength was tyrannical to a terrifying extent.
After thinking about it for a while, Yan Lie calmed down and analyzed the process of the matter again. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he immediately sorted out the matter and reported it to the Heavenly Pill Building's headquarters through the means of the Heavenly Pill Building.
This would take some time, about half a day.
When the Small Pill House opened its shop, Chu Mu entered the Alchemy Room to refine pills. Qin Yang was also refining pills.
…
The next day, a deacon of the Heavenly Pill Building sent an invitation card, inviting Chu Mu to the Heavenly Pill Building.
Chu Mu didn't refuse. His intuition told him that Yan Lie invited him for a very important matter. It was probably a good thing.
"Your Excellency, please sit down." Yan Lie was very polite and didn't dare to show the slightest disrespect.
Chu Mu sat down opposite Yan Lie unceremoniously. "I don't know why the Building Lord invited me here. What advice do you have?"
"Your Excellency, please don't say that." When Yan Lie heard this, he quickly waved his hand. The person sitting in front of him was a strong man suspected to have killed Gold One. After receiving his news, the Heavenly Pill Building's headquarters immediately held a meeting and made a decision in a short quarter of an hour. "Today, I invited Your Excellency here because I have a good thing to tell Your Excellency."
"What good thing? Let's hear it. "Chu Mu said.
"It's like this. Not long ago, the headquarters issued an order for the Heavenly Pill Building in the Desolate City to prepare to move to another low-level city. In the future, the pill market in the Desolate City will belong to the Small Elixir House. The floor of the Heavenly Pill Building will also be given to the Small Elixir House." Yan Lie said very straightforwardly. He didn't beat around the bush. With Chu Mu's wisdom, he understood immediately. Therefore, it was better to make it clear than to show off.
When Chu Mu heard this, he immediately understood that the headquarters of the Heavenly Pill Building was expressing goodwill to him. They didn't express goodwill before, but now they did. After thinking about it, there was only one reason, and that was Gold One's death.
The Bloodthorn Tower was a much stronger existence than the Heavenly Pill Building. They had a huge influence and were extremely strange and frightening. Gold One was the number one and the strongest of the Bloodthorn Tower's gold-medal assassins. Before he started his career to assassinate Chu Mu, he had only attacked ninety-nine times. Every time, his target was not only strong, but also had the protection of a Complete Origin Realm expert and various preparations.
The higher one's position was, the more they knew how terrifying the Bloodthorn Tower was, and the more they knew how terrifying Gold One was.
Even the strongest person in the Heavenly Pill Building didn't have the confidence to fight against Gold One. Naturally, it was impossible for them to fight against Chu Mu, who had killed Gold One. Maybe they could spend a lot of money to hire someone stronger than Gold One, but if they couldn't kill Chu Mu, what awaited them was death.
Facing such a strong person, the Heavenly Pill Building had no other choice but to admit defeat. They even made the decision to give the Heavenly Pill Building and the elixir market in the border city to the Small Elixir House. They were afraid that one day, if Chu Mu suddenly had an idea, the higher-ups of the Heavenly Pill Building would be done for.
Chu Mu's mind was flexible and faster than lightning. He immediately figured out the key point.
The stronger a swordsman was, the stronger his mind and the more active his mind would be. This activity had nothing to do with intelligence. A smart person would still be smart, and a stupid person would still be stupid. It was just that when one's mind was active, one would be able to think and analyze faster and more directly.
Since the Heavenly Pill Building had expressed their goodwill to him by giving him the building and the elixir market, Chu Mu wouldn't refuse.
Yan Lie finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Chu Mu would refuse. Most experts had their own tempers, and they were even very strange.
Fortunately, the person in front of him was quite easy to talk to.
Yan Lie proposed to hold a banquet for Chu Mu, but Chu Mu refused.
"Your Excellency, in three days, the Small Elixir House will be able to take over the Heavenly Pill Building. We will move out within these three days. In addition, I'll give you these pill recipes," Yan Lie said.
"If people don't offend me, I won't offend them." When Chu Mu left the Heavenly Pill Building, he only left behind a sentence. He believed that Yan Lie could understand the meaning behind it.
Chu Mu left the Heavenly Pill Building and returned to the Small Elixir House. He told Nalan Fenghua the news and asked her to make the necessary preparations to take over the Heavenly Pill Building and the elixir market in Desolate City.
As soon as the Heavenly Pill Building left, the elixir market in Desolate City fell into a short period of emptiness. At the very least, the Small Elixir House only sold Grade 1 to Grade 6 elixirs. Although the demand for Grade 7 to Grade 9 elixirs wasn't that high, it was still necessary.
Three days were very short. Various preparations were made and various aspects were mobilized. Chu Mu also had to rush to refine a batch of Grade 7 elixirs to deal with the situation in three days.
Nalan Fenghua was overjoyed and immediately came up with various countermeasures.
Currently, the Small Elixir House only had two alchemists, Chu Mu and Qin Yang, which was enough. However, if they took over the Heavenly Pill Building and took over the elixir market in Desolate City, just the two of them wouldn't be enough. Even if the amount of elixirs that Chu Mu could refine every day far exceeded that of an ordinary alchemist, they still couldn't let Chu Mu continue to refine elixirs.
Moreover, Chu Mu would probably focus on higher grade elixirs in the future. Lower grade elixirs would need someone to refine them. Qin Yang alone wouldn't be enough.
Nalan Fenghua immediately asked someone to spread the news and recruit alchemist apprentices and alchemists.
Chu Mu looked at the elixir recipes that Yan Lie had given him. They were Grade 7, Grade 8 and Grade 9 elixir recipes. There were a total of eight types of elixirs, which were commonly used by Qi Hai cultivators. Once they were refined, they would be able to solve the urgent situation in three days.
He immediately asked Nalan Fenghua to purchase the ingredients. This time, the Heavenly Pill Building didn't interfere, so it was unusually smooth.
Chu Mu also began to refine elixirs. With his experience in refining Grade 9 elixirs, and with the help of the better quality Refined Ink Charcoal and Refined Copper Alchemy Furnace, refining elixirs would be easier.
In order to ensure that the time came, Chu Mu stayed in the Small Elixir House's alchemy room at night. He worked day and night, refining elixirs with three furnaces at the same time. In order to pursue quantity, quality had decreased. Therefore, the elixirs that were refined were all of excellent quality.
In comparison, the Grade 7, Grade 8 and Grade 9 elixirs of the Heavenly Pill Building were rarely of excellent quality. Most of them were of normal quality. Relatively speaking, the elixirs of the Small Elixir House were better.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Nalan Fenghua brought people to the Heavenly Pill Building and smoothly took over the Heavenly Pill Building's pavilion. During these three days, the people of the Heavenly Pill Building left one after another. Only the last deacon was left. After handing over to Nalan Fenghua, he also left the Desolate Border City.
This was a big event, and the entire Desolate Border City was abuzz with all kinds of rumors. But no matter what, from now on, the elixir market in the Desolate Border City belonged to the Small Elixir House. In the Desolate Border City, there was no Heavenly Pill Building, only the Small Elixir House.
The Small Elixir House moved to the Heavenly Pill Building's pavilion and changed its name to the Small Elixir House. The fourth floor also became Chu Mu's temporary residence.
The Heavenly Pill Building's alchemy room was bigger and better. There were a total of three rooms, two small and one large. Even the smallest room was bigger than the Small Elixir House's alchemy room. The two smaller alchemy rooms used Refined Copper Furnaces and Refined Ink Charcoal. The largest alchemy room used a Cloud Cauldron Furnace, which was one grade higher than the Refined Copper Furnace. The Cloud Cauldron Furnace used was also one grade higher than the Refined Copper Furnace.
The largest alchemy room naturally belonged to Chu Mu. Qin Yang was also refining elixirs in it. He had already started to refine Grade 6 elixirs. Compared to before, his alchemy skills had made a qualitative leap.
The remaining two smaller alchemy rooms were intended to be used by newly recruited alchemists. But at the moment, no new alchemists had been recruited. In general, the Small Elixir House was developing towards a very good future.
