Chapter 75: Snow Condensing Silkworm
At 2 am, in the suburbs of Weihin City, above a manor house, an aircraft whizzed by, its wings retracted, and landed on the rooftop.
The cabin door opened, and two heavily armed men rushed out first, cautiously observing the surroundings of the rooftop. The eyes of these two men were sharp, shining with a keen light in the dark night, showing that they had quite high martial arts skills.
Then, a burly young man was escorted out by a team of fully armed men, his entire body tightly bound and his mouth sealed with black tape. This young man was the same one who had helped Mu Tong clean the laboratory.
This group of people, as if escorting a serious offender, lifted the young man up and quickly rushed into the building. Before long, they threw him into a secret room.
In the confined space, the young man lay on the ground struggling, when he saw two people in the room, he was first startled, then showed excitement, turning his head repeatedly, making "woo woo" sounds in his throat.
Two people in a closed room, one standing and one sitting, were Mu Zongguan and Wu Manager.
Looking at the young man on the ground, Mu Zongguan's face was gloomy, as if suppressing some deep emotions. After a moment of contemplation, he sighed helplessly.
"Give him some leeway." Manager Mu instructed in a low tone.
Manager Wu stepped forward and tore off the tape from the young man's mouth, saying in a low voice: "Sorry, Mr. Mu Dong."
The tape had just been torn open, and the young man exclaimed: "Uncle Mu, what's going on? Why did you tie me up like this?"
Muzongguan sat in a chair, looking down at the young man on the ground with an air of superiority, and said in a low voice: "Mu Dong, how did Uncle Mu usually treat you?"
Mu Tong couldn't help but feel uneasy when Mu Dongzhi called out his own name, and said: "Uncle Mu, I am the one you took in. Your kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain. I have always followed your instructions and taken good care of Young Master Tong."
"Very good, what I appreciate most about you, Dongzi, is your loyalty to our family."
Mu Tongguan nodded slightly and changed the subject, his tone taking on a hint of coldness, "What if Xiaotong were in a desperate situation, what would you do?"
Mu Dong was taken aback for a moment, then said without hesitation: "My life is tied to Young Master's, if Young Master is in danger, I will naturally protect him with my life."
Upon hearing this, Mu Zongguan nodded again and sighed, muttering: "Dongzi, I owe you an apology. Xiao Tong has been mischievous since childhood, and in the end, he even implicated you. Manager Wu, untie him."
With his restraints removed and his freedom restored, Mu Dong hastily stepped forward and respectfully asked: "Uncle Mu, what's going on?"
Mù Dōng was extremely depressed, being inexplicably tied up here, and then hearing Mù Zǒngguǎn's strange words, seemingly wanting him to take the place of Young Master Mù Tóngshào in accepting some kind of punishment. Protecting the young master with his life was a creed that Mù Dōng had been indoctrinated with since childhood, and he did not fear sacrificing himself.
It's just that although Mu Tong Shao likes to play and cause trouble, he hasn't gotten into any real trouble, otherwise I should be the first person to know.
Mu looked at him, sighed again, took out the box on the table, opened it, and inside was a red crystal sauce dish, which was Sun Yan's first work.
Mu Dong looked at this and was even more bewildered, raising his head to look at Mu Zongguan, unable to understand the meaning.
Manager Wu also looked at the red crystal container, where the genetic original liquid was. No matter how you look at it, it's the worst quality, not even H-level, and doesn't even have the value of being given as a gift.
Pointing at this red crystal bowl, Mu Zongguan said in a low voice: "Do you know what this is?"
Mu Dong's mouth twitched, and he felt that today was indeed strange. He replied, "I know, this should be considered an H-level gene fluid." In his heart, he added a sentence: if it were to be raised by three more levels, it would likely be considered an S-level gene fluid.
"Good-for-nothing with eyes but no eyeballs!"
With a loud shout of anger, Mu Zongguan slapped the armrest of his chair, causing it to creak and groan, shaking precariously as if on the verge of collapse.
Manager Wu and Mu Dong were so frightened that they dared not say another word. General Manager Mu was extremely terrifying when he was in a rage.
Mu Zongguan sighed and calmed down his anger, muttering: "This is not your fault, nor is it Xiao Tong's. At your age, I wouldn't have recognized this thing either."
Upon hearing this, Wu and Mu Dong were both stunned, their eyes fixed on the container box once again, looking left and right, but still couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Alright, I'll let you understand what Xiao Tong did wrong."
Mu Tongguan shook his head helplessly, pointing to the red crystal sand container box, and said slowly: "This gene original liquid is indeed only H-level quality, and it can be said that it is the worst among H-level qualities. No one wants it even if you give it away."
Manager Wu and Mu Dong nodded slowly, without speaking, both waiting for what came next. What could make General Manager Mu so cautious must have been something out of the ordinary.
"So you know what exactly is growing on this gene solution?" Mu Zongguan asked back.
Looking at this container box, Manager Wu took another close look and said: "Isn't it because it's been stored for too long and showing signs of mold?"
Mu Dong was taken aback and subconsciously said: "No, Manager Wu, these six gene source liquids have only been mixed for less than 4 days."
"What?!" Manager Wu's face changed greatly. As the person in charge of the auction house, he was considered to be knowledgeable and experienced, and he exclaimed: "A Primordial Liquid Companion Beast!"
During the preparation process of gene primers, there is a very rare probability that some by-products may appear, and these by-products are just the companion products of gene primers.
The original liquid is very rare, so no matter which companion creature, the value is quite expensive.
Manager Wu's expression was grave, he understood the severity of the situation. These six boxes were identical, which revealed a fact: the mixing master who produced these gene source liquids had grasped the secret to mass-producing this accompanying organism.
Manager Wu asked in a low voice: "Mu General Manager, what is this original liquid accompaniment?"
Mu Tongguan's face turned gloomy, and he slowly said: "Snow Condensing Silkworm!"
Plop!
Upon hearing the name, Manager Wu was like seeing a ghost, his whole body trembling, and he fell to the ground with a thud. His face was instantly covered in sweat, which dripped drop by drop onto the floor.
"It's impossible for this to be Snow Condensing Silkworm Silk! A crucial ingredient in the production of ATD incense, just one strand of Snow Condensing Silkworm Silk can produce 1kg of ATD incense!"
Manager Wu's face turned pale with terror, and he exclaimed: "It's not a rumor among the alchemists that wanting to brew Snow Condensing Silkworm liquid is just a matter of luck, it's impossible for anyone to grasp the method of mass production! These six gene liquids are exactly the same, could it be, could it be..."
Manager Wu no longer dared to think about it, he deeply regretted getting involved in this matter. The tuner who could mass-produce Snow Condensation Silk was simply the object of scramble among various major forces.
In the history of the mixing circle, there was a peculiar mixer who appeared. His level as a mixer was not high, but the gene original liquid he mixed often had rare original liquid companions. As a result, this mixer was recruited by the Zhōu Huáng financial group and even enjoyed the same status as a master mixer. This kind of person can be said to be a rare exception among mixers, an alternative genius.
What if the person who compounded these six Snow Silkworms was not just an exception? At the same time, this person is also a genius in other aspects of alchemy, what kind of stunning talent would that be?
In an instant, Manager Wu's forehead was covered in sweat. No matter which kind of person this pharmacist was, he was absolutely not to be trifled with. But Mu Tong had secretly taken six boxes away, and if this were to come to light, the influence of such a pharmacist would likely plunge the Mu family into unimaginable disaster.
At this moment, Manager Wu really wanted to roll his eyes and faint on the spot, forgetting all about this matter.
"Snow condensed insect silk is a key raw material for producing ATD incense. With just one strand of snow condensed insect silk, 1kg of ATD incense can be produced?"
Mù Dōng felt incredulous, about Xuě Níng's insect silk, he was unclear. However, ATD incense, as a martial artist, probably not many people didn't know.
ATD incense, the fragrance can condense the spirit and solidify the origin, which is a good product for martial artists to cultivate their inner yuan. The price is extremely expensive, with one piece of incense requiring 1 million credit points, even for core members of a thousand-year-old martial arts family, ATD incense is considered a luxury item.
Mu Gongmian's face was expressionless as he said, "Dongzi, you should now understand what a huge mistake Xiao Tong has made. As for this kind of alchemist, our Mu family absolutely cannot afford to offend them, so we can only sacrifice you. I hope that by doing so, we can downplay the severity of this matter. Get ready, and I will personally escort you there. When the time comes, you will apologize and take responsibility in front of that alchemist."
But who would have known, Mu Dong seemed to have not heard these words, muttering to himself: "How is this possible, it's too unbelievable, truly enviable!"
"Dongzi, what are you talking about?" Mu Zongguan said angrily.
He lifted his head, and Mu Dong said with a wry smile: "Uncle Mu, actually these things weren't stolen by Young Master. They were concocted by Young Master's good friend, Sun Shao. Sun Shao, Sun Yan, that childhood friend of the Young Master."
"Uh..."
"What?"
Mu Zongguan and Wu Manager were immediately stunned, the two staring at Mu Dong as if they had heard the most shocking news of their lives.
……
Early in the morning, before sunrise, Sun Yan had already packed his bag and opened the door.
Outside the door stood two bald men, one tall and one short, Feng Yan and Li Er.
The news of going to Bai Yu Xing for trial was not told to anyone by Sun Yan, but it couldn't be hidden from Li Er who lived in the same building.
Li Er smiled and handed over a large package of food, with a hint of foolishness on his clearly defined face. "A Yan, take these with you and eat them on the way."
Sun Yan shook his head helplessly, "I'm not going on a tour, what's the point of bringing so much food? It's also too inconvenient."
The longer Sun Yan spent with this bald young man, the more he felt that the young man's pure and innocent quality was a bit strange. However, there was one thing that Sun Yan found even stranger - Lai Er's yuan force cultivation was only at the level of a second-level warrior, yet somehow he had managed to pass the entrance exams for Emperor Wind Academy.
Looking at this big bag of food, Feng Yan immediately grabbed it over and said: "Indeed, these foods are too inconvenient to carry, let me handle them all."
Sun Yan pouted, ever since he joined the school's law enforcement team three days ago, he had a feeling of being on a pirate ship.
Like this, with a wave of his hand to bid farewell to Li Er, Sun Yan followed Feng Yan and left. The young man secretly made up his mind that two months later when he returned to Emperor Wind Academy, he would definitely defeat Mu Shan, Qiu Shanlin and Xu Xiangyao in the new student assessment.
Li Er stood at the entrance of the building until Sun Yan's two figures disappeared from view, and he was still waving goodbye.
Looking at the end of the road, this bald-headed young man muttered to himself: "Still two and a half months? Just right, by the time Ayan and the others return, I can still prepare a sumptuous meal for my friends and Iron Spoon Uncle, it should be the last dinner."
At this time, a figure suddenly appeared at the end of the road and rushed towards No. 4444 Luliu Street, it was Mù Tóng.
Rushing to the front of the building, Mu was panting and asked: "Where's Ah Yan? How come I couldn't get in touch with him? Is he still sleeping?"
"Uh, Ah Yan he..." Li Er stuttered and was evasive.
With Mu Tong's keen eyesight, how could he not see that something was amiss? He casually asked two questions and then extracted from Lü Er the location of Sun Yan.
Upon hearing this, Mu Tong was immediately speechless, and after a long while, he jumped up and down repeatedly, deeply regretting that he had arrived one step too late.
He pounded his chest and stamped his feet, shouting wildly: "A Yan, you mustn't come to any harm, you have to return safely!"
