Chapter 115: That Person Misled Me

“Junior Brother Chen, you are so powerful.”
Mu Langtao said sincerely when he saw Chen Fei coming forward. Mu Langtao was actually panicking when the mental assault appeared because this meant that it would be a tough battle.
In the end, he did not expect that what happened next would take a turn.
The evil thing appeared. As soon as it appeared, it was completely suppressed by Chen Fei. Even its howls could not stop Chen Fei for a moment. Under such circumstances, it was very simple for Ge Hongjie, who was in the Visceral Tempering realm.
“Well done!”
Ge Hongjie patted Chen Fei’s shoulder hard. Although he knew that Chen Fei’s archery skills were not bad, after all, he had already seen it before. But now that he had really fought in real combat, he realized that his archery skills were not only good, they were exceptional.
Ge Hongjie had never been so relaxed in killing evil before.
“Senior Brother Ge, this is the best thing you’ve ever done for Junior Brother Chen!” Zhang Fangqiong was also full of smiles, mainly because she was too surprised by Chen Fei.
Chen Fei smiled and waved his hand. He pointed at the evil’s bead on the ground and said, “How do I collect this?”
“Just take the jade box.”
Ge Hongjie took out a jade box and carefully put away the evil pearl. He was in a good mood.
Although he had suffered quite a few injuries, his gains were still decent. He had earned some money from the two items. Of course, the most important thing was discovering Chen Fei’s abilities. That was the biggest gain.
“Then should we continue searching or go back?”
Although there were no twists and turns in this battle, Ge Hongjie and the other two were still impacted, and their injuries were quite obvious.
“I’ll look for another two hours. If we can’t find it, we’ll go back for the day.”
Zhang Fangqiong looked at Ge Hongjie. Ge Hongjie pondered for a moment and nodded. Although he was injured, his combat strength was still pretty good. He could search for another two hours without much of an impact.
Mu Langtao and Chen Fei had no objections. Chen Fei went forward and collected the arrows. Most of them could still be used. He then continued to search for the nodes.
Two hours passed quickly, but no new nodes were found.
The four of them were a little disappointed. However, this kind of finding of nodes depended on luck and could not be forced.
According to their original plan, the four of them carefully exited the Strange Wind Realm and returned to the camp.
Chen Fei and the other three did not return first. There were already many other places in the camp.
“Senior Brother Ge, you said that the evil pearl can be used to refine medicine? Is there anything particular about this?” sitting beside the bonfire, Chen Fei asked for advice.
“There’s nothing particular. I asked a senior brother back then, and he said that it’s just like ordinary medicine refinement, except that there’s an extra evil pearl.”
Ge Hongjie thought for a moment and shook his head. “However, because of the evil pearls, the difficulty of refining will increase by a lot. It’s very easy for the furnace to explode.”
Chen Fei’s brows twitched slightly as he continued to ask, “Will there be any special effects after adding the evil pearl to the pill?”
“Let’s not talk about those special pills. If we just add them to the pills we use for cultivation, it will actually strengthen the medicinal effects,” Ge Hongjie said.
“It’s like increasing the age of the herbs?”
“It’s more or less like that. An ordinary evil pearl can give medicinal herbs an additional 50 years of medicinal properties.”
Zhang Fangqiong threw a piece of firewood into the bonfire, looked at Chen Fei, and said with a smile, “Junior Brother Chen, you also have some research on pill concoction?”
“Yes, I usually dabble in it.” Chen Fei nodded.
“Does Junior Brother Chen also know how to refine pills? It’s just that I didn’t pass the Alchemist Alliance’s test back then, so I refined less after that.”
Mu Langtao laughed and looked at Chen Fei, “This evil pearl must at least be refined by those pill refiners. Otherwise, it will be a waste of this evil pearl.”
Mu Langtao was mainly afraid that Chen Fei was itching to use his skills, so he requested to personally go down and use the evil pearl to refine pills.
Evil pearls were hard to come by. If an alchemist had the chance, they would want to try it. Mu Langtao himself was like this, but unfortunately, he had never been able to do so.
Chen Fei had contributed greatly to the acquisition of this evil pearl. Mu Langtao was really afraid that Chen Fei would not be able to resist the temptation, so he wanted to try refining it.
“Can the pill refiners of the Alliance do it? What grade is required?” Chen Fei asked with great interest.
“Nine… No wait, I think it’s more suitable to be at least an eighth-grade. It’s not a waste to use evil pearls to refine the Eternal Floating Pill.”
Seeing Chen Fei’s expression, Mu Langtao changed his mind and raised his request to dispel Chen Fei’s thoughts.
“If you want to refine it, take this evil pearl and try it. It’s fine.”
Ge Hongjie saw Chen Fei’s expression and hesitated for a moment. He looked at Zhang Fangqiong and took out the evil pearl. It was just an evil pearl. Even if it were wasted, so what?
“The Flying Ascent Pill I concocted isn’t good enough. Will the Eternal Floating Pill really work?”
Chen Fei did not have the urge to refine it. At most, he was a little curious as to how such a strange thing combined with medicinal ingredients.
“You know how to refine the Flying Ascent Pill?” Mu Langtao and Ge Hongjie were stunned.
“Yes, I know how to refine some pills. I can guarantee success, but the rate of pills being produced is not good enough.”
Chen Fei nodded. Because of all sorts of matters recently, the proficiency of the Flying Ascent Pill was only close to perfection. Furnace explosions would definitely not happen, but there was no guarantee that every furnace would produce pills at the limit.
“Junior Brother Chen, are you an Alliance alchemist?”
Zhang Fangqiong asked curiously. She dared to say that she knew how to refine the Flying Ascent Pill, so wouldn’t it be easy to refine the Eternal Floating Pill and the Light Spirit Pill? If she really had the ability, she would definitely take the pill refinement master examination.
“I’m a Tier 8 alchemist of the Alliance.”
Chen Fei nodded and took out the pill master’s jade token from his bosom.
Mu Langtao’s eyes slowly widened. Good heavens, he had just said that he was a level eight alchemist, but Chen Fei had directly taken out a Tier 8 alchemist’s jade token. It was quite the rush being humiliated this way.
Mu Langtao subconsciously took Chen Fei’s jade token and looked at it from top to bottom. It was indeed the certificate issued by the Alchemist Guild.
Ge Hongjie and Zhang Fangqiong exchanged a glance, their hearts shaking. This Chen Fei was truly multi-talented. At this age, he had actually become a Tier 8 alchemist.
Tier 8 alchemists were not rare, but there were indeed very few alchemists at this age in the Primordial Sword Sect. The main reason was that Chen Fei’s archery and movement techniques were so strong, which was quite rare.
“Then let Junior Brother Chen try?” Mu Langtao looked at the two.
“Since there’s an existing alchemist, of course, we have to give it a try. This way, the amount of Vital Energy lost by the evil pearl will be less, and the Eternal Floating Pill will be enough.” Ge Hongjie smiled and nodded.
“I didn’t bring a pill furnace, nor did I bring any medicinal ingredients.” Chen Fei shook his head.
“I’ll go borrow the pill furnace. The medicinal herb camp has it.”
Ge Hongjie stood up and walked toward the others. Chen Fei couldn’t help but smile. He also quickly stood up and went to purchase medicinal herbs.
The ingredients for the Eternal Floating Pill were not complicated, and there was no requirement for age of the herbs. The camp actually had it, so it was probably prepared just in case.
When Chen Fei returned, Ge Hongjie had already borrowed a pill furnace and placed it beside the bonfire.
“What else do you need? Is this firewood okay?” Ge Hongjie looked up at Chen Fei. He really didn’t know much about alchemy.
“It’s best to pick up some small pieces of firewood. That way, it’s easier to control the fire.”
Mu Langtao looked at the firewood on the ground and suggested. Although Mu Langtao’s pill refining skills were average, he still knew a lot of things.
“No need, these are fine.”
Seeing that Ge Hongjie was about to get up to chop firewood, Chen Fei quickly waved his hand and stopped him.
Mu Langtao looked at Chen Fei with some doubt. Such thick firewood was good for warmth, but it was really not good for alchemy.
“There’s no order for the evil pearl and the medicinal herbs to be together later, right?” Chen Fei sat down and cautiously mentioned. The main reason was that he had never refined it like this before.
“Yes, this I know. Just put it together.” Mu Langtao smiled.
“Good!
II
Chen Fei nodded. He picked up the pill furnace and examined it briefly. He did not find any problems. Moreover, the inside was extremely clean and did not need to be cleaned.
Chen Fei placed the pill furnace directly on the bonfire. Mu Langtao’s eyes almost popped out when he saw this scene.
Ge Hongjie and Zhang Fangqiong didn’t know about alchemy, so they didn’t know if Chen Fei was doing the right thing. They only noticed that Mu Langtao’s expression was a little off, which made them feel uncertain.
The jade token of a Tier 8 alchemist shouldn’t be fake. Moreover, Chen Fei didn’t need to fake it. It was meaningless.
Chen Fei did not notice the expressions of the three people. After the pill furnace heated up, Chen Fei threw the medicinal herbs and the evil pearl into the pill furnace.
Mu Langtao’s eyes were still wide open. It was already too much to use the bonfire to refine pills, but the method of throwing the herbs was still the same. This made Mu Langtao suspect that there had been a huge change in pill refining methods, but he hadn’t updated it yet.
Ge Hongjie and Zhang Fangqiong looked at each other. They did not know how to refine pills and had never seen anyone refine pills on the spot. However, Chen Fei’s actions were a little too bold.
Shouldn’t pill refinement be a delicate job? Why did it feel like cooking in Chen Fei’s hands?
Under the confused gazes of Ge Hongjie and the other two, the pill furnace did not explode. Instead, it began to emit a trace of medicinal fragrance slowly.
At first, it was very light, but after a moment, this medicinal fragrance began to become rich.
Mu Langtao’s eyes were full of shock and doubt because Chen Fei didn’t control the flame the whole time. He only used inner strength to adjust the medicinal properties in the pill furnace.
This overturned all of Mu Langtao’s knowledge of alchemy. He wasn’t taught alchemy this way.
So, for so many years, he had achieved nothing in alchemy. Was it because his alchemy technique was too meticulous?
“He’s wrong!”
As Chen Fei opened the furnace lid, Mu Langtao remembered the face of the old alchemist, and his heart was filled with tears. He had always thought that he was a genius alchemist, but he was later hit by reality.
Only now did he realize that he had been left behind!
Ge Hongjie couldn’t wait to get close to the pill furnace. He looked at the five Eternal Floating Pills lying quietly in the pill furnace, and his face was filled with uncontrollable joy.
He had really succeeded in refining the pill, and he had even refined so many Eternal Floating Pills.
Chen Fei took out the pills one by one and placed them in the jade box.
Chen Fei sized up the pill and the Eternal Floating Pill that he had refined in the past. There was indeed a huge difference. Not only did the color become more saturated, but it was also not the kind of medicinal fragrance that permeated in all directions. Instead, it was all locked in the medicinal pill.
As a result, these five Eternal Floating Pills seemed to be emitting a faint fluorescent light, causing one to be unable to resist the urge to grab them and play with them.
“Junior Brother Chen, you take two pills. The three of us will each take one. How about it?” Ge Hongjie suggested as he looked at the pill.
“I have no objections!” Zhang Fangqiong nodded.
“Me too.” Mu Langtao had already started to admire Chen Fei, so he naturally wouldn’t have any objections to this distribution method.
“Thank you!” Chen Fei hesitated for a moment and accepted this kindness.
Mu Langtao couldn’t wait to take the Eternal Floating Pill and swallowed it in one gulp. Then, he quickly started to digest it..
