"What?"
Upon suddenly hearing Zhu Fei’s words, everyone present was taken aback.
No one expected that the first person to seek Zhu Fei’s alchemy services would encounter such a fortunate event.
Not only could they have the alchemy done for free, but the materials needed for the process were also waived by the other party; where in the world would you find such a good deal? Could it be a scam?
This thought only lingered briefly in everyone’s mind before they quickly dismissed it.
After all, alchemy is not like other things, especially in such a public setting, where the truth would be shown; there was simply no way the other party would deceive them.
Even if it turned out to be a deception, those present would not suffer any loss.
The middle-aged scholar apparently realized this as well, and his face quickly flashed with delight as he said, "Master, is everything you just said true?"
Zhu Fei smiled slightly, "Is it true? You will know soon enough."
After speaking, Zhu Fei stopped wasting words, and directly retrieved a low-grade Immortal Artifact Pill Furnace from himself.
As a cluster of orange-red fla rose from his palm, many of those present instinctively held their breath.
Considering that this was a public setting, Zhu Fei did not imdiately summon his Divine Blue Netherworld Fire, instead opting to use a fla condensed from his own Immortal Essence.
Seeing that the alchemy fla Zhu Fei summoned was not any renowned fire but simply a fla condensed from his own Immortal Essence, many in the audience couldn’t help but show a hint of skepticism.
Bai Shan’s eyes flickered, because according to his understanding, a true alchemist generally possesses a unique Mutant Fire within them.
Even if this Mutant Fire doesn’t have a high-grade, its quality far surpasses that of a fla condensed by a cultivator’s own abilities.
For Zhu Fei to not use a Mutant Fire now, there are only two possibilities.
Firstly, Zhu Fei might be highly confident in his own alchemy technique, believing he could reach the desired level even without using a Mutant Fire.
The other reason could be that Zhu Fei does not have any so-called Mutant Fire, implying his identity as an alchemist might not be so solid.
After all, the value and utility of Mutant Fire to an alchemist are unquestionable.
Anyone aspiring to beco a high-level alchemist would never be without a Mutant Fire, so...
Bai Shan squinted his eyes slightly, signaling to Jiang Yuan beside him without others noticing.
Bai Shan had already decided that if Zhu Fei failed in his alchemy attempt, he would have Jiang Yuan take action against him without hesitation.
For soone like Zhu Fei, Bai Shan indeed couldn’t tolerate keeping him around any longer.
"Wow—"
Just as Bai Shan was contemplating these thoughts, a low gasp suddenly erupted among the crowd.
Bai Shan looked on in astonishnt, discovering that Zhu Fei was now throwing batches of herbs into the Pill Furnace and refining them.
This imdiately created an absurd delusion in Bai Shan’s mind—is this man truly insane? Who practices alchemy like this?
Doesn’t he know that dumping all the herbs into the Pill Furnace at once could cause a conflict in their dicinal properties, directly ruining the ingredients?
Just as he thought of this, Bai Shan’s face broke into a cold smile.
This was good in a way; the sooner the matter was resolved, the sooner he could attend to his own affairs.
However, what followed again left Bai Shan stunned. The Zhu Fei, whom he assud would certainly fail, was not failing.
Not only did he not fail, but his reckless manner of throwing all the herbs into the Pill Furnace together, succeeded... How could this be possible?
A trace of shock swiftly appeared in Bai Shan’s eyes as he kept his gaze fixed on Zhu Fei’s Pill Furnace.
Inside Zhu Fei’s Pill Furnace, all the herbs he had tossed in had already transford into droplet after droplet of pure dicine liquid, floating and sinking within the furnace.
Furthermore, as Zhu Fei’s spell changed, they were gradually yet orderly beginning to gather together!
Witnessing this scene, not only Bai Shan but even the middle-aged scholar and so others were taken aback.
They simply couldn’t fathom how powerful an alchemy technique would be needed to neutralize the different dicinal properties of the herbs and refine them in an orderly manner.
At that mont, almost without any reason, everyone present shifted their gaze towards Zhu Fei.
Though Zhu Fei’s alchemy wasn’t completed yet, though he hadn’t reached the final stage, just the technique he displayed so far left no one present doubting—or daring to doubt—Zhu Fei’s genuine identity as an alchemist.
Upon realizing this, the crowd’s gaze again moved towards the middle-aged scholar, their eyes filled with envy.
If they had known it would turn out like this, they would have been the first to step forward themselves.
After all, it was a rare opportunity to have free alchemy done without providing any materials.
Such opportunities are exceedingly rare, if not nonexistent, across the major Heavenly Domains of the current Immortal Realm.
One might even have to wait a thousand or ten thousand years for such an opportunity, and even then, it might not co to them.
However, before long, the crowd’s envy turned into anticipation as they thought again.
No matter what, getting a true third-grade Immortal Alchemist to perform free alchemy was indeed a rare opportunity, almost a blessing.
As long as Zhu Fei successfully refined the Xuantian Pill next, the journey to the Divine Burning Tower would have been worthwhile for most.
Gradually, as ti ticked away, Zhu Fei’s alchemy finally reached its last stage.
In the anticipation of the crowd, and the middle-aged scholar’s sowhat nervous yet longing gaze, Zhu Fei suddenly struck the top of the Pill Furnace hard with his hand.
In the next instant, the top cover of the Pill Furnace flew up, and twelve Xuantian Pills, exuding a soft, immortal essence glow, shot into a jade bottle Zhu Fei had prepared beforehand!
Seeing this scene, everyone present instinctively breathed a sigh of relief, and expressions of uncontrollable joy surfaced on their faces.
The Xuantian Pill had been successfully refined.
This ant that Zhu Fei was indeed a true third-grade Immortal Alchemist, and those present had the chance to request a free alchemy session from him.
Zhu Fei poured a high-grade Xuantian Pill from the jade bottle, placed it into another jade bottle, and handed it to the middle-aged scholar, smiling:
"Fellow Daoist, here is the pill you requested."
