Chapter 893: Chapter 893: Fatty Pang’s Request
Zhu Fei turned his head to see that the person appearing before him was none other than Fatty Pang, the owner of the humble cave dwelling rented to him.
Fatty Pang, looking anxious, came close to Zhu Fei and Tianxing Venerable, and quickly spoke:
"Brother Zhu Fei, why didn’t you tell me earlier? Had I known you were an Immortal Alchemist, I wouldn’t have let you stay in such a place, regardless of the cost."
Hearing Fatty Pang casually call him "brother," Zhu Fei couldn’t help but feel mildly disdainful.
Despite Fatty Pang’s seemingly righteous and enthusiastic manner, promising what he would have done if he knew earlier.
Yet Zhu Fei knew very well that even if he had claimed to be an Immortal Alchemist earlier, Fatty Pang would never have believed him.
But truth be told, one can’t fault Fatty Pang.
After searching for cave dwellings among numerous stalls, the only one willing to rent to him was Fatty Pang.
Even though the cave dwelling rented to him was somewhat shabby, the rent he offered was indeed low.
Considering this, Fatty Pang is somewhat decent, so Zhu Fei didn’t show any attitude but instead smiled slightly and asked:
"Boss Pang, is there anything particular you wanted to talk to us about? Please go ahead, and I won’t decline as long as it’s something I can do."
Zhu Fei thought Fatty Pang sought him merely to have some pills refined.
Well, given he was the only one who rented him the stall cave dwelling, he might as well repay this favor.
No sooner had Zhu Fei thought of this, Fatty Pang was beaming, rubbing his hands politely, speaking:
"Alchemist Zhu, don’t misunderstand. I mainly came to arrange a new stall cave dwelling for you."
To prove his point, Fatty Pang produced a map, pointing to a location while smiling:
"Alchemist Zhu, take a look. This location on Central Street North Gate is the new stall cave dwelling I’ve arranged for you. What do you think?"
Having spent several days in Peace Square, Zhu Fei identified the location at a glance, knowing Fatty Pang offered a not-to-be-underestimated stall cave dwelling.
Not to mention the area, located in the bustling northern part of Peace Square.
Even the surrounding Immortal Spirit Qi was far superior than other stall cave dwellings.
In Chaotic City, for Cultivators aiming to train, besides using Immortal Crystals, they can only do so in Peace Square.
This is because Peace Square has the surrounding environment filled with Immortal Spirit Qi, suitable for Cultivators to absorb.
The place Fatty Pang pointed to was the richest area of Immortal Spirit Qi in the North of Peace Square.
Looking at the stall cave dwelling indicated by Fatty Pang, Zhu Fei didn’t agree immediately. Instead, he looked at Fatty Pang and asked directly:
"Boss Pang, to be honest, what’s the favor you want me to help with?"
Zhu Fei wouldn’t believe Fatty Pang’s goodwill just because he was a First Grade Immortal Alchemist with no request, offering such a prime stall cave dwelling.
Sure enough, upon hearing Zhu Fei’s words, Fatty Pang nodded.
"Truth be told, Brother Zhu Fei, apart from arranging a stall cave dwelling for you, there’s indeed another matter requiring your help later."
"Need my help later?"
Zhu Fei sharply sensed that Fatty Pang said he would ask for help later, not now, which made Zhu Fei wary.
He secretly decided if Fatty Pang’s matter was too troublesome or beyond his capability, he would rather seek another stall cave dwelling with Tianxing Venerable than accept Fatty Pang’s offer.
Seeing Zhu Fei’s concern, Fatty Pang quickly explained:
"Brother Zhu Fei, don’t misunderstand. Actually, the matter is simple; I just want you to refine a Heavenly Pill for me."
"Refine a Heavenly Pill?"
"Yes, a Heavenly Pill." Fatty Pang nodded, continuing with a smile: "I’ve just found out that the First Grade Immortal Pills you currently refine are of top quality.
With this progress, you should soon advance to a Second Grade Immortal Alchemist, regardless of success, I’ll remember this favor from you, Zhu Fei."
Hearing Fatty Pang’s explanation, Zhu Fei nodded slightly.
He knew the Heavenly Pill is a type of pill used by True Immortals to advance to Heavenly Immortals, whose value isn’t comparable to ordinary Second Grade Immortal Pills, hence Fatty Pang’s generosity.
Huh? Wait, something seems off.
Zhu Fei squinted slightly, looked at Pang Yuan, and asked directly:
"Boss Pang, isn’t there something amiss? With your current wealth, although the Heavenly Pill is precious, acquiring it should be doable. Why focus on me?"
To Zhu Fei’s surprise, when he asked this question, Pang Yuan showed a trace of bewilderment, even Tianxing Venerable beside him cast a surprised and suspicious gaze.
This left Zhu Fei puzzled, prompting him to ask: "Did I say something wrong?"
"Brother Zhu Fei, do you truly not know the situation?"
Pang Yuan quickly regained composure and retorted Zhu Fei.
"What situation exactly?"
Zhu Fei furrowed his brow, asked suspiciously.
"Ah, I neglected this; you’ve been in Peace Square only a short while, so it’s normal not to know certain things."
Pang Yuan sighed lightly before explaining:
"Let me put it this way, the area we’re currently in seems large but it’s only one-fourth of Peace Square.
Peace Square is divided into four sections: east, south, west, north, accessible based on Cultivators’ rank.
For example, with our current rank in Peace Square, we can only stay in the northern region, which is the most resource-scarce area.
Let alone not having Heavenly Pills for sale; even if available, such items aren’t something a stall owner like me can compete for. I hope you understand my predicament."
