Gu Youlan’s string of rhetorical questions left Zhu Fei’s heart slightly heavy.
He knew that Gu Youlan was not wrong at all.
Having offended Zhenwu Sect like that, there was no way the Zhenwu Sect would let it go so easily when the ti ca.
Even if they considered Gu Youlan’s previous position towards them, and paid her respect,
after all, Zhenwu Sect was a hidden Sect. How could they let Zhu Fei, a re Loose Cultivator, tarnish their reputation and not take any action?
In other words, even if they did not dare to make a move against Zhu Fei for the ti being, who said they wouldn’t dare to harm the people around him?
Revenge does not necessarily require one to take action themselves.
To find a subordinate Sect or clan to manufacture accidents for those close to Zhu Fei, even if Gu Youlan found out, she probably would not say much, right?
Realizing this, Zhu Fei’s expression turned sowhat unsightly at this mont.
He looked at Gu Youlan and saw that she remained smiling, gracefully holding her wine glass and seeming extrely patient. He finally took a deep breath, clenched his teeth, and held up three fingers, saying:
"Help temporarily resolve the possible repercussions from Zhenwu Sect, and I promise you three alchemy services. What do you think, Miss You Lan?"
Regardless, Zhu Fei was a Pill God of the Five Mountains in his previous life, and naturally, he had his own dignity and pride.
Permanently alchemizing for a power was sothing he absolutely could not accept.
Not to ntion the present Treasure Pavilion, even if a Ninth Grade Sect of the Cultivation World ca to him, Zhu Fei would never agree. This was his bottom line and his principle.
Thus, the three alchemy opportunities he now offered were already the greatest price he was willing to give.
If Gu Youlan was unwilling to agree, then there was nothing he could do. If need be, Zhu Fei would consider taking his people and hiding for a while.
"Hehe, it seems you have great confidence in your alchemy skills."
Gu Youlan took a gentle sip of red wine, her beautiful eyes half-closed, smiling sweetly at Zhu Fei.
"Alright, if you really possess such superb alchemy skills, I can agree to your terms, but..."
As she spoke, Gu Youlan elegantly straightened her body, and her lovely eyes nearly squinted to a slit.
"However, before that, you must surpass in the alchemy technique, otherwise why should I agree to the terms you just ntioned, right?"
"Um, no problem."
Upon hearing Gu Youlan’s demand, a smile finally appeared on Zhu Fei’s face.
"Then may I ask, Miss You Lan, how would you like to compete? When shall we start?"
"Let’s start right now. Just wait here for a mont, and I’ll go arrange everything."
Gu Youlan gracefully placed down her wine glass, smiled at Zhu Fei, and then turned and walked out the door.
...
Five minutes later, Zhu Fei and Gu Youlan had arrived together in a spacious hall.
Before them, a Pill Furnace Magic Artifact was set up for each of them, surrounded by Hua Tian, Xue Yuan, and others.
At this mont, people like Hua Tian had already learned from Gu Youlan that she was going to compete in alchemy with Zhu Fei.
This imdiately made them feel a mix of laughter and helplessness—jokingly, competing in alchemy with our Miss? That’s utter nonsense!
Who doesn’t know that Miss You Lan is second to none in the art of alchemy?
Even if you, Zhu Fei, are skilled in alchemy, compared to our Miss You Lan, there is undoubtedly still a huge gap.
By the way, to ’insert’ a note, people like Hua Tian now knew of Zhu Fei’s true identity.
Nevertheless, not a single person present was optimistic about Zhu Fei’s prospects.
"Hehe, are you ready? If you’re ready, let’s begin, shall we?"
Gu Youlan sat down beside a Pill Furnace, smiling at Zhu Fei, and spoke.
"Hmm, let’s begin."
Zhu Fei didn’t waste words, simply nodding in agreent.
"Hehe..."
Seeing this, Gu Youlan chuckled, her expression still one of calm and composure.
With a flick of her hand, she smacked a purple belt around her slender waist.
The next second, the purple belt lit up, and four sets of ingredients for refining True Spirit Pills flew out, two for each, landing beside her and Zhu Fei.
"A storage magic belt!"
Zhu Fei’s pupils shrank; he hadn’t expected to find a storage magic artifact on Gu Youlan.
"Hehe, you seem to know quite a lot."
Gu Youlan gave Zhu Fei a aningful look, still smiling, her expression unchanged.
Zhu Fei took a deep breath and stopped being distracted, focusing his Divine Sense on one set of True Spirit Pill ingredients.
The True Spirit Pill, a First Grade Spirit Pill, suited for Late-stage Qi Refining cultivators to consu, it could help them gather Spiritual Power and enhance their cultivation.
Put simply, the True Spirit Pill was an upgraded version of the Qi Gathering Pill.
Whether it was the ingredients for refining or the thod of concoction, both were more precious and more difficult than for the Qi Gathering Pill.
Through this alchemy competition, Zhu Fei was fully convinced that Gu Youlan was indeed a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator.
As to her exact level of Foundation Establishnt, Zhu Fei was not so sure.
"Boom! Boom!"
At that mont, fierce flas burst forth from the hands of both Zhu Fei and Gu Youlan.
Gu Youlan’s speed at purifying ingredients was fast, and her technique was practiced.
It was evident that she had an extraordinary talent for alchemy and must have put in considerable effort in this area.
Zhu Fei didn’t rush to start, but rather watched Gu Youlan’s alchemy progress, seemingly casually.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...
As Gu Youlan’s alchemy steadily progressed, a unique fragrance began to subtly emanate from her.
When Zhu Fei first slled the fragrance, he didn’t react much, but gradually his expression changed.
Could this be... the legendary Heavenly Fragrance Pill Body!
Zhu Fei’s heart trembled wildly.
The so-called Heavenly Fragrance Pill Body, too, was one of those mythical constitutions.
From its na, one could infer the formidable aspect of this constitution was not the cultivation speed itself but the innate talent in alchemy.
Becoming one with the way of the pill, the individual was a unique Pill Furnace.
Hyperbolically speaking, a person with the Heavenly Fragrance Pill Body never faced the issue of an exploding furnace, and as long as her cultivation was sufficient, nearly any pill was made with ease.
Even the fragrance emitted by her body could assist the materials in the Pill Furnace to solidify more quickly and enhance their quality.
Person and pill were almost one inseparable entity.
This may sound abstract, yet it boils down to one thing: the Heavenly Fragrance Pill Body was absolutely a top-tier genius in alchemy, unmatched by any.
Until now, Zhu Fei had only read about the Heavenly Fragrance Pill Body in ancient texts and was not very clear on the specifics.
In fact, for any type of mythical constitution, his understanding barely scratched the surface, not to ntion that he had yet to fully comprehend the Five Elents Dao Body that he himself possessed.
Realizing Gu Youlan possessed the Heavenly Fragrance Pill Body, Zhu Fei no longer dared to be negligent.
His gaze suddenly sharpened, his hand swiftly moved, and several herbs were instantly thrown into the Pill Furnace before him.
