Chapter 833: Chapter 833: Alchemy Duel
While speaking, Zhu Fei had already stopped the Heavenly River Pill King from making a move and turned to look at Luo Ling, whose face was slightly pale, with a smile as he asked:
"Earlier, you said I had something that you found hard to accept. I wonder what you’re referring to? If you can say it accurately, then consider this thing as my present to you."
As he spoke, Zhu Fei took out a jade bottle from his person.
And as the jade bottle was opened by Zhu Fei, three drops of shimmering Purple Dark Spirit Liquid immediately caught the attention of everyone present!
"Hiss—"
In an instant, the continuous sound of gasping rang out in the entire VIP hall.
Everyone stared at the jade bottle in Zhu Fei’s hand, their faces showing nothing but shock over and over again.
No one would have thought that Zhu Fei actually had such a precious treasure as the Purple Dark Spirit Liquid on him.
And judging from his earlier words, the reason he took out these three drops of Purple Dark Spirit Liquid was actually to give them as a meeting gift to the disciple of the Heavenly River Pill King.
Such a precious meeting gift, this... isn’t this too extravagant?
Luo Ling was also dumbfounded at this moment. She stared blankly at the jade bottle in Zhu Fei’s hand, subconsciously swallowing a gulp of saliva, a little disbelieving as she said:
"You... what you said just now, all... all of it was true?"
"Nonsense!"
Before Zhu Fei could speak, the Heavenly River Pill King beside him had already scolded Luo Ling, and then turned to Zhu Fei, somewhat embarrassed, and said:
"Pavilion Master, my disciple is a bit mischievous. The childish words just now, you really need not take them to heart."
Zhu Fei shook his head with a smile, "No matter, it’s just three drops of Purple Dark Spirit Liquid anyway, I haven’t taken it to heart. By the way, Heavenly River, if you want some, I can also give you some later."
Zhu Fei’s seemingly casual words sounded like a thunderclap to the Heavenly River Pill King and everyone else present.
Oh my, what do you mean it’s only three drops of Purple Dark Spirit Liquid? You don’t care? If you really don’t care, you could totally give them to us. We would definitely care very much.
Almost at the same time, this thought arose in everyone’s mind.
Zhu Fei didn’t care what others thought but continued to smile at Luo Ling, saying: "So, what do you think? There is only this one chance, you know."
Looking at Zhu Fei with his rare child-like demeanor, Qiu Ruoxue who was beside him immediately rolled her eyes, glaring at him with mild displeasure.
However, Qiu Ruoxue didn’t say much either and, like Zhu Fei, watched Luo Ling with interest.
Because of Zhu Fei’s antics, Luo Ling felt slightly embarrassed at this moment, but she eventually gritted her teeth and said:
"You said just now that you want my master to take Yue Dan Pavilion to the sect you’ve established on the Xuanhuang Continent. I was thinking, our Yue Dan Pavilion’s strongest point is alchemy. Are you asking us to go there for this reason?"
Seemingly feeling that her words weren’t persuasive enough, Luo Ling couldn’t help but continue:
"And, from what you said just now, you were the Pavilion Master of our Yue Dan Pavilion in your previous life, but in this life, you are not. So if you want us all to be convinced by you now, you must surpass all of us in alchemy, including my master.
Otherwise, even if my master takes Yue Dan Pavilion to join the sect you’ve established, on what basis can you convince all of us?"
Zhu Fei never expected that Luo Ling’s attitude towards him earlier was actually because of this reason.
But on second thought, Zhu Fei’s mind was slightly at ease.
After all, in many sects that focus primarily on alchemy, many people are not pursuing the path to immortality but rather their personal research on the path of alchemy.
Among other things, in his previous life, he himself was quite obsessed with the path of alchemy.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken the risk to try refining the Immortal Ascension Pill back then, which ultimately led to his demise.
It’s just that the reborn Zhu Fei by now no longer focuses on just one goal as he did in his previous life.
Because he knows deeply that the most fundamental thing for a cultivator, in the end, is still one’s own cultivation.
Only when one’s own cultivation is raised will there be a foundation to explore other things.
Otherwise, some intrinsic bottlenecks will accompany you throughout your life.
Though his heart thinks so, now is obviously not the time for Zhu Fei to say these things, so after a brief pause, he looked at Luo Ling with interest and said:
"So how exactly do you want me to prove it? Or did you mean you want me to refine a pill before everyone here?"
"Yes, if you could do that, that would naturally be the best."
There was no politeness, as Luo Ling directly nodded after hearing Zhu Fei’s words.
The Heavenly River Pill King beside them watched with a face turning blue, wanting to stop it again, but saw Zhu Fei smiling and nodding, "Alright, then as you wish, just I’m not sure what kind of pill you want me to make to convince you?"
Upon saying that, Zhu Fei himself also found it quite amusing.
As an elder, he actually feels like playing a game with such a little girl, probably because it’s been a long time since he felt this relaxed as he did today.
As Zhu Fei thought to himself, he heard Luo Ling say again: "You can refine a batch of Yin Yang Fetus Formation Pills. A seventh-grade pill, which can essentially prove an alchemist’s cultivation in alchemy."
Hearing Luo Ling’s unceremonious words, many people present couldn’t help but look at each other.
This girl really dared to speak out; the Yin Yang Fetus Formation Pill, although only a seventh-grade pill, requires a very high standard of quality and refinement time if one aims for a certain level.
Obviously, from what Luo Ling said earlier, she wouldn’t be satisfied with Zhu Fei just creating a low-grade Yin Yang Fetus Formation Pill.
If that were really the case, Zhu Fei would inevitably lose face.
Thinking of this, many elders couldn’t help but cast their eyes on the Heavenly River Pill King.
The Heavenly River Pill King was also a bit helpless by now, he wanted to help Zhu Fei refuse, but seeing Zhu Fei’s demeanor, it seemed he had no intention to let him intervene in this matter.
Zhu Fei naturally didn’t know what was on everyone’s mind at this moment; in fact, even if he did, he wouldn’t care at all.
He immediately smiled at Luo Ling and nodded, and then without asking Luo Ling for any alchemy ingredients, pulled out a set of materials for refining the Yin Yang Fetus Formation Pill from his storage space.
Then, Zhu Fei directly urged the Divine Blue Netherworld Fire, without any pill furnace, started to temper the spiritual medicine in the air like this.
Seeing this scene, everyone, including the Heavenly River Pill King, was first stunned and then shocked.
They didn’t expect that Zhu Fei, while refining the Yin Yang Fetus Formation Pill, wouldn’t even use a pill furnace.
You must know that even the Heavenly River Pill King himself at this moment wouldn’t be entirely confident in refining a Yin Yang Fetus Formation Pill within a certain time frame without using a pill furnace.
Moreover, what astonished everyone even more was that the alchemical flame Zhu Fei used turned out to be the Divine Blue Netherworld Fire, which was already at the skyfire level!
