Chapter 210

And it was under such nightfall that, at the summit of Hundred Herbs Peak, in front of Mu You's cave dwelling, someone suddenly triggered the array.

Before long, a man wearing a white robe, middle-aged in appearance, with a refined temperament and handsome features, walked out.

This person was none other than Mu You, the Peak Master of Hundred Herbs Peak, a ninth-grade alchemist, and also the strongest alchemist of the Profound Heaven Sect.

Seeing the mysterious-looking Until Hong Zun outside the door, Mu You asked curiously.

"Senior Brother, why have you come in the middle of the night?"

"Oh, there are some matters to discuss with Junior Brother."

"I see. Then come in."

Not knowing what the matter was, but being fellow disciples, Mu You did not guard against him and naturally invited Until Hong Zun into the cave dwelling.

As soon as they entered the cave dwelling, they saw a beautiful lady walking out from a room. Seeing this, Until Hong Zun greeted her with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, visiting so late at night, I have disturbed you."

"Senior Brother, you are being too formal. As fellow disciples, there is no such thing as disturbing."

The beautiful lady was Mu You's Dao companion. Don't let her gentle and weak appearance fool you; in reality, she was absolutely fierce.

Mu You was completely under her thumb. Having been together for many years, he didn't have a single temper.

It was precisely because of this that Qingshi had previously called him a henpecked man.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, seeing that Until Hong Zun had something to say to Mu You, the beautiful lady retreated very consciously. In front of outsiders, she gave Mu You plenty of face.

But in private, well, that was hard to say.

It just so happened that Mu You was an alchemist; in terms of combat power, he wasn't even as strong as his own wife, and even his connections—the strongest means of an alchemist—were useless in front of his wife.

You can't exactly call someone to fight your own wife.

"Husband, keep Senior Brother company and talk. I'll return to the room first."

"Yes, Wife, please go ahead."

After speaking, but having walked only two steps, the beautiful lady suddenly turned around and looked at Mu You with a gentle smile.

"Husband shouldn't be drinking, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Mu You was stunned, then nodded repeatedly.

"No, no. Wife, you know, I don't touch a drop of alcohol."

Having received the answer, the beautiful lady left satisfied.

Only Until Hong Zun and Mu You remained. Until Hong Zun habitually took out his wine gourd.

"Have a sip?"

"Are you crazy? My wife is at home."

It was just a casual question, but who knew Mu You would become nervous immediately. Until Hong Zun was not surprised by this and drank on his own.

"Senior Brother, you came late at night, what is the matter?"

His wife was still waiting in the room, so Mu You didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

Hearing this, Until Hong Zun said nonchalantly while drinking.

"Oh, I came to ask you for two Bone-Burying Pills. I remember you refined a batch some time ago; you shouldn't have used them all, right?"

Hearing this, Mu You was stunned, then shook his head repeatedly, while the eyes he looked at Until Hong Zun with were full of shock and suspicion.

"Gone, they were used up long ago."

Hearing the words "Bone-Burying Pill," Mu You became nervous instantly.

Seeing this, Until Hong Zun smiled slightly.

"Junior Brother, don't be nervous. Isn't it just using the Bone-Burying Pill to change bone age so you can sneak out of the house? Don't worry, only Senior Brother knows about this."

The Bone-Burying Pill, with its mediocre effect but incredibly high price, would not be refined by any ninth-grade alchemist voluntarily, but Mu You was an exception.

The reason for this was that the array in his house was controlled by his wife, and she had added a little trick, similar to the grand array of the Near-Sea Camp.

As long as the bone age exceeded a certain requirement, the array would be triggered, and his wife would know immediately.

As for the reason, it was very simple: there were only two people in the house, you tell me why.

Mu You was completely numb at this moment. For so many years, he had been cautious, secretly refining this Bone-Burying Pill, and had never told anyone else. How did this old drunkard find out?

The look in his eyes was extremely complex. Seeing Mu You refuse, Until Hong Zun raised his eyelids and said with a deep gaze.

"We are fellow disciples, can't we discuss this?"

"There isn't any, really none left."

Hearing this, Until Hong Zun's gaze became even deeper.

"Really?"

"Really, there truly isn't any left. Senior Brother, you also know that refining this ninth-grade elixir is difficult, and the materials are extremely expensive. A batch only yields five or six pills. Junior Brother truly has none left."

With an extremely sincere expression, at first glance, it seemed like he really didn't have any left. However, Until Hong Zun didn't believe it at all. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly.

"In that case, Senior Brother can only talk to Sister-in-law. For so many years, Junior Brother has been secretly refining Bone-Burying Pills behind her back, and she doesn't know. I imagine..."

"Fellow disciples, you are actually threatening me?"

"Also, last time, Senior Brother happened to see you in Eryuan City. You had just come out of the Spring Breeze Pavilion and seemed to have kept some courtesan. Yes, a courtesan. Let Senior Brother think, what was her name again?"

"Xiao Cui? No, Xiao Hua? No, no. Xiao Tiantian? That doesn't seem right either. Hey, what was her name?"

"How many does Senior Brother need?" ===== CHAPTER 211 =====
