Chapter 29: Hitting the Bottleneck
Hearing Mu Yuanfei's angry scolding, Mu Xian's heart couldn't help but tighten, shouldn't there be even Qingyan Wood and Chiyan Fruit in the family warehouse?
Mu Xian naturally knew who Mu Yuanfei was scolding, and he also understood the meaning of Mu Yuanfei's words.
Originally, the Mu family did not have an elder's council, in fact, as a small family, there was no need to have an elder's council system, and the Wang family and the Li family in Shitang Town did not have an elder's council system, it was completely patriarchal, and the head of the family had the final say on everything.
When Mu Yuanshan became the head of the family, because he and Tang Qiluo were both people who had seen the world, and knew that the patriarchal system was not suitable for the long-term development of the family, so the elder system was introduced, so that the collateral family also had the opportunity to participate in the decision-making and operation of the family, and selected the person with the deepest cultivation and the highest prestige from the collateral family to enter the presbyterian church to reside in the main family.
After the Mu family introduced the elder system, the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the Mu family did increase greatly, making it difficult for the Wang family and the Li family, who were originally on a par with the Mu family, to match them, and at the same time, the side line of the Mu family also flourished under the condition of sharing a lot of information and resources of the main family.
However, while the elder system brought convenience to the Mu family, it also left great hidden dangers to the Mu family.
If the strength of the main family is stronger than that of the side lineage, and the personal cultivation and combat effectiveness of the head of the family also have an absolute advantage, the disadvantages of the elder council system will not be revealed, but when the strength of the main family is weaker than the strength of the side lineage, and the cultivation and combat effectiveness of the individual head of the family are not as good as the elders in the elders, the disadvantages of the elder council system will be completely revealed.
When Mu Yuanshan's cultivation was abolished, if it weren't for Xiao Tianhan's help in secret, Mu Yuanshan and Tang Qiluo had strategized and adopted an iron and bloody hand, it is estimated that Mu Yuanshan would have been directly ousted from the position of the head of the family, Rao is so, after that time, Mu Yuanshan's prestige in the family has also decreased a lot, and the side line has been more developed.
Later, when Mu Yuanshan and Tang Qiluo and his wife were running around for Mu Xian's life, the elders of the Presbyterian Church were even more stealing chickens and dogs and making obstacles, they not only refused to pay their due income share to the main family, but also took the opportunity to divide up many interests of the main family.
For more than ten years, the Mu family's development has almost come to a standstill because of Mu Xian's involvement, while the collateral family has developed rapidly, and has already had a huge industry in Guyun City, the county town of Yunmen County.
Rao is like this, the ambition of the side family is still extremely inflated, they can't stand it at all to pay high profits to the main family year after year, in their opinion, the existence of the main family has greatly slowed down their development, so they plan to replace it, which is why there was the previous forced palace incident.
"Second uncle, are all the family warehouses empty?" asked Mu Xian nervously.
"Hey, Xian'er, didn't you hate such a dark place as the warehouse the most, why are you willing to come here today?" Hearing Mu Xian's voice, Mu Yuan scratched his head in embarrassment, and then suddenly said: "Oh, I forgot, you are now an elixir master, are you here to get the elixir, what elixir do you want, pick it yourself, I just came to tidy up the warehouse, and I don't know how many elixirs are left in the warehouse." ”
Hearing Mu Yuanfei's words, Mu Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the warehouse was not emptied, otherwise he would have to go out to buy Qingyan Wood and Chiyan Fruit.
"Is the loss of the elixir in the warehouse serious?" Mu Xian said casually, and then stepped into the warehouse.
When Mu Xian found that most of the medicine cabinets in the warehouse were empty, and half of the medicine cabinets were only a few herbs left in them, his face suddenly became extremely ugly, the elixirs in the warehouse were already gone, and almost all the rest were worthless elixirs, so it was strange that Uncle was not angry.
"It's not just serious, it's just miserable. Those bastards are really good at it, and they actually swept the survival in the warehouse so clean, the survival of the family warehouse over the years has been almost consumed, and the family warehouse is completely empty by them. Mu Yuanfei smiled bitterly, scolded angrily, and then he remembered the purpose of Mu Xian's visit to the warehouse, and exclaimed: "Oh, Xian'er, what elixir do you want, is there anything in this warehouse, if not, Uncle will accompany you to the Fang Market." ”
After talking to Mu Yuanshan, Mu Xian had already swept the warehouse, and at the same time, he also found Qingyan Wood and Chiyan Fruit.
It may be because the value of Qingyan Wood and Chiyan Fruit is not high, but Mu Deyu and the others did not move these two elixirs, but the survival of these two elixirs was the most, and Mu Xian even turned over to the hundred-year-old Qingyan Wood from the inside, as well as the color of Haode Chiyan Fruit.
"Uncle Xiexie, I just came over to get a piece of Qingyan Wood and a few Red Flame Fruits, but fortunately they knew that I was going to use it, so they left me a lot. Pleasantly surprised, he selected a piece of the oldest Qingyan wood and the most haode red flame fruit, carefully put it into his arms, and joked with a smile.
Seeing Mu Xian's appearance as if he had obtained a treasure after getting the Qingyan Wood and Chiyan Fruit, Mu Yuan couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Xian'er, the family warehouse has been robbed like this, and you can still laugh." ”
"By the way, are you refining medicine or alchemy pills this time, what is the specific effect of the pill?" After saying Mu Xian's words, Mu Yuanfei asked casually, in fact, seeing that Mu Xian was taking the two cheapest elixirs, Mu Yuanfei also found it difficult to believe that Mu Xian could refine any haode pills.
"It's not certain now, I might be shocked when I turn around, you continue to be busy, I'll go back to alchemy." Seeing the uncle's absent-minded appearance when he asked, Mu Xian knew that the uncle's mind was not here, so he said a perfunctory sentence and left in a hurry.
Although he knew that the family was in an embarrassing situation, Mu Xian didn't have the heart to pay attention to these at this time, in fact, when the strength was not enough, it was useless to spend more attention on these.
Mu Yuanfei saw that Mu Xian turned a blind eye to the miserable situation of the warehouse, and was even in the mood to joke, Zuihou even took two elixirs and left in a hurry, without even leaving a word of the scene, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, and then continued to bow his head to clean up the types and quantities of elixirs in the warehouse.
Mu Xian didn't know that Mu Yuan was not his senses, and after returning to the East Courtyard, he threw himself into the intense alchemy work.
This time, refining the Bone Refining Dirty Pill was much easier than refining the Iron Wood Forest Leaf in the Shenduan Mountain, which was the main solution to the problem of innate veins, on the one hand, because he didn't have to worry about safety, on the other hand, the Bone Refining Pill was a pill that Mu Xian often refined in his previous life, and he didn't have to worry about anything going wrong even if he almost closed his eyes.
Half an hour later, a elixir emitting a dazzling golden light appeared in Mu Xian's palm, and at the same time, a refreshing and tempting fragrance also spread in the southern courtyard.
The pill was the size of a baby's fist, and the surface was glowing and flowing, as if it were alive, and amazing spiritual power overflowed from it, emitting violent energy fluctuations.
Mu Xian stared at the Bone Refining Pill for a moment, a flash of expectation flashed in his eyes, and then with a wave of his right hand, the golden elixir flew into Mu Xian's mouth.
After swallowing the elixir, Mu Xian quickly took off all the clothes on his body, sat down cross-legged on the spot naked, closed his eyes slightly, took a long breath, and began to absorb the external spiritual power to wash the muscles and veins in his body.
Soon, a scorching aura rose from Mu Xian's dantian and spread rapidly, and after a while, it spread all over the body.
With the spread of this scorching breath, layers of fine beads of sweat came out of Mu Xian's body, Mu Xian's face continued to twitch, and his eyelids trembled even more, as if he was suffering from capital punishment.
Suddenly, a crisp "click" sounded in the house, and Mu Xian's body that was originally sitting quietly also trembled suddenly, his mouth opened exaggeratedly, and his eyes were as wide as copper bells.
This click, but under the impact of the elixir, the relatively fragile bones in Mu Xian's body were directly broken.
After the Bone Refining Pill entered the body, it seemed to turn into a raging flame, violently burning the bones and internal organs in Mu Xian's body.
Although this flame was burning in Mu Xian's body, Mu Xian seemed to smell a smell of meat, and this huge pain was far stronger and more exciting than putting people on the fire to barbecue.
Bursts of hot and intense pain, like a blunt knife piercing the heart, crisscrossed Mu Xian's body.
Mu Xian clearly felt that the bones in his body were ashed and shattered under the burning of that flame, and after losing the support of these bones, it was difficult for Mu Xian to even sit up straight, but in order to successfully hit the bottleneck, he had to grit his teeth and persist with an obsession.
Beads of sweat the size of soybeans were like bamboo shoots after spring, and they all drilled out of Mu Xian's body, and a thin layer of mist even gushed out of Mu Xian's head, and the intense pain made Mu Xian gasp several times, but there was no hesitation on his face, but a look of determination.
Under the washing of the medicinal power, the ashes and shattered bones quickly became crystal clear, and then recombined and grew.
Clouds of fishy, greasy dirt drained out of the body with sweat, making the house stink.
At the same time, a trace of blood slipped from the corner of Mu Xian's mouth, and Mu Xian's mouth couldn't help but let out a muffled sound of pain.
When all the bones in his body were all reorganized and became crystal clear, Mu Xian gritted his teeth and wrapped the remaining spiritual power with his aura and rushed directly to the more fragile internal organs.
"Whew......" The moment the flames burned and the internal organs burned, Mu Xian involuntarily gasped, and a hysterical scream also came out of his throat.
Mu Xian's face suddenly became extremely red, his eyes also popped out, and his body trembled.
Suddenly, Mu Xian's mouth opened, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out of his mouth, and Mu Xian's body was also shaky, and his face was like gold paper.
"Xian'er, what's wrong with you?" In a daze, Mu Xian faintly heard a concerned voice.
