Chapter 910: Chapter 910: Alchemy Cultivation
Zhu Fei and Chen Tianxing had just returned to Peace Square and immediately headed for the mission hall.
After a tally in the mission hall, each received three hundred Contribution Points.
However, during this process, the female attendant who had initially registered their mission for them was nowhere to be seen.
Both Zhu Fei and Chen Tianxing were prepared for this and did not find it surprising.
Instead of returning to their stall residence right away, they began to gather information and sold some of their unnecessary gains to local merchants.
Thanks to their disguises, those familiar with the area failed to recognize Zhu Fei and Chen Tianxing, sparing them from unnecessary trouble.
While they were selling their harvest and amassed nearly two hundred thousand low-grade Immortal Crystals, they overheard rumors that the Mad Demon Gang was searching for them.
This revelation made both Zhu Fei and Chen Tianxing’s expressions turn grim.
No way! I must quickly advance to a Second Grade Immortal Alchemist, otherwise, even in Peace Square, Tianxing and I won’t be able to secure a foothold.
With this in mind, Zhu Fei quickly sent a message to Chen Tianxing, "Tianxing, we can’t return to the stall residence for now. We need to find another place to stay, I need to break through to Second Grade Immortal Alchemist."
"Break through to Second Grade Immortal Alchemist?"
Chen Tianxing was slightly taken aback by Zhu Fei’s message and looked at him with a bit of expectation, expressing concern, "Zhu Fei, are you confident?"
"Hmm, it shouldn’t be a big problem, I have about an eighty percent chance of success."
Zhu Fei nodded in response, and then both of them found a nearby Rest Inn to stay.
"Tianxing, if nothing significant happens, do not disturb me."
Upon reaching his room, Zhu Fei immediately reminded Chen Tianxing.
Chen Tianxing quickly nodded in agreement, "Don’t worry, I will be outside protecting you, certainly won’t disturb you."
"Hmm, thank you."
Zhu Fei smiled and nodded at Chen Tianxing, then shut the door and set a Prohibition around it.
Once everything was in place, Zhu Fei took out a Pill Furnace and the Heavenly Star Flowers he had obtained earlier.
Zhu Fei was fortunate to have these Heavenly Star Flowers to practice with.
Otherwise, in his current situation, purchasing large amounts of primary materials for refining Second Grade Immortal Pills would definitely cause suspicion.
If that happened, breaking through to Second Grade Immortal Alchemist would be out of the question, and even finding a place to settle would be problematic.
After all, the Mad Demon Gang alone isn’t something a mere First Grade Immortal Alchemist like him can contend with, at least not until he breaks through to Second Grade.
Sizzle—
With the invocation of the Divine Blue Netherworld Fire, Zhu Fei began placing the Immortal Spirit Grass into the Alchemy Furnace.
Most of this Immortal Spirit Grass was obtained from Dong Fangming and Shi Fengyang.
Additionally, Zhu Fei acquired nearly half a million low-grade Immortal Crystals from them.
Had it not been for that, with Zhu Fei’s limited resources, attempting to refine Second Grade Immortal Pills would have indeed been challenging.
Boom—
While Zhu Fei was manipulating the Divine Blue Netherworld Fire to purify the Immortal Spirit Grass, a muffled explosion suddenly sounded from within the Furnace, followed by a burnt medicinal scent.
"Damn it! I overlooked the current power of the Divine Blue Netherworld Fire, the excessive flame caused all the herbs to be ruined."
A hint of frustration flashed across Zhu Fei’s face, knowing he had been a bit too hasty.
He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then gathered a new batch of herbs.
This time, Zhu Fei planned to refine a Pill that helps Cultivators recover Immortal Essence, called the Star Origin Pill.
Though not top-tier among Second Grade Immortal Pills, and incomparable to Heavenly Pills, it is undeniable that a Second Grade Immortal Pill is a Second Grade Immortal Pill. As long as Zhu Fei can successfully refine the Star Origin Pill in front of the Pill Conference, his status as a Second Grade Immortal Alchemist will be solidified.
The Pill Conference is the current Alchemy Dao alliance in the Immortal Realm, with influence spanning all corners of the universe known as the Eleven Heavens.
Every Immortal Alchemist recognized by it gains acknowledgment across all the Eleven Heavens.
At this moment, facing the Immortal Spirit Grass in the Furnace, Zhu Fei’s expression became extremely composed.
After the previous failure, Zhu Fei summed up the experience and believed it wouldn’t be long before he successfully refined the Star Origin Pill.
Indeed, after experiencing another failure, Zhu Fei finally succeeded in refining twelve Star Origin Pills on his third attempt.
Yet, the pills he refined were mostly of low and medium quality, which was far from satisfactory for Zhu Fei, who always pursued perfection in Alchemy Dao.
Thus, after reviewing the previous experiences, Zhu Fei started a fourth attempt at refining.
This time, the quality of Zhu Fei’s pills improved significantly, with most being of superior quality.
Despite this improvement, Zhu Fei felt that this might be the limit of his current Alchemy Dao capabilities. No matter how hard he tried, producing Special Grade Star Origin Pills seemed unlikely.
What is going on?
For a moment, Zhu Fei frowned deeply.
Finally, after contemplating for nearly an entire day, Zhu Fei had a revelation.
Could it be that the bottleneck in my Alchemy Dao is primarily due to my current cultivation level?
This was not a baseless assumption; it was a conclusion drawn from the differences between the rules of the Immortal and Cultivation Worlds and the fundamental disparities between cultivation levels.
No matter, whether it is the reason or not, I can only find out by trying. Besides, with the Immortal Crystals at my disposal, breaking through to the True Immortal Late Stage should not be a big issue.
With that thought, Zhu Fei stopped hesitating, took out a large pile of Immortal Crystals, and began cultivating right away.
As the Immortal Spirit Qi surged through Zhu Fei’s body, the Immortal Crystals on him were rapidly consumed.
After nearly a month, Zhu Fei exhausted almost half a million Immortal Crystals.
Yet, he still seemed to be a bit short of reaching the True Immortal Late Stage.
