"Please!"
Gu Bing made an inviting gesture and led Ye Fei and the two of them towards the alchemy room on the left side of the second floor.
There were five alchemy rooms on the second floor, and many alchemists would refine pills there.
Therefore, everything was fully equipped.
"Mr. Ye, please rest here for a moment. I will instruct my subordinates to bring the medicinal ingredients for the Little Returning Pill!"
After speaking, Gu Bing hurried down the stairs.
As for Nangong Qingxue, she had remained silent throughout the entire process.
From the pill she had taken earlier, she had no doubt about Ye Fei's abilities.
Ye Fei closed his eyes and began to rest.
Only when the clanging footsteps were heard again from outside did he open his eyes.
All the medicinal ingredients needed to refine the Little Returning Pill had been neatly arranged on the table by two attendants.
"Mr. Ye, you can check if anything is missing."
After getting up, Ye Fei quickly checked.
The medicinal ingredients were indeed of good age, with the only exception being the Qingyan Grass, which was too young. This would affect the efficacy of the Little Returning Pill.
Therefore, he directly picked out that stalk of Qingyan Grass.
Then, he replaced it with the one he had won from Elder Pu earlier.
"Alright, this will do!"
Gu Bing's eyes lit up.
This stalk of Qingyan Grass was indeed of good age and very rare.
After dismissing the attendants, only Ye Fei, Nangong Qingxue, and Gu Bing remained in the alchemy room.
"I'll start now!"
Ye Fei approached the alchemy furnace, carefully inspected it, and then directly activated his Yuan force to ignite the furnace.
This was Ye Fei's first time refining this particular pill. Fortunately, he had already mentally reviewed the difficulties and points to note in refining the Little Returning Pill.
He believed that as long as he was careful and cautious, there would be no problem.
Ye Fei unleashed his divine sense, directly controlling the temperature of the furnace fire with it.
If other alchemists knew about this, they would surely be greatly astonished!
One must know that divine sense is extremely fragile!
How could anyone possibly think of using divine sense to control the temperature of the furnace fire!
This was truly too insane!
However, after the last experiment, Ye Fei found that his divine sense had become even more expansive and resilient.
That was why he continued with it.
This effortless operation left both women in a state of stunned silence.
At this moment, Ye Fei had already preheated the furnace and was proceeding to the next step.
With a wave of his hand, Ye Fei directly put half of the medicinal ingredients into the furnace.
As for the remaining half of the medicinal ingredients, they needed to be added when the ingredients that were already in the furnace were about to be refined.
Only by accurately grasping this timing could the Little Returning Pill be successfully refined.
This was also the most difficult step in refining the Little Returning Pill.
Therefore, even Gu Bing, who was standing by observing, felt her heart clench.
However, Ye Fei showed no signs of worry or distress.
Instead, he continued to unleash his divine sense, controlling the progress of the medicinal ingredient refinement.
It was at this moment that Gu Bing's eyes suddenly widened, staring intently at Ye Fei in disbelief.
Insane!
This was truly too insane!
Did he not know the importance of divine sense to a cultivator?
He was actually so bold!
However, all of this would have to wait until the alchemy was over for Ye Fei to personally explain.
"Alright!"
"This is the moment!"
Ye Fei once again threw all the remaining half of the medicinal ingredients into the furnace.
Then, he re-covered the furnace lid.
As time passed, a fragrant pill aroma began to emanate from within the alchemy furnace.
The aroma of the pill was so strong that even those who were refining pills in the adjacent alchemy rooms could smell it.
"So fragrant!"
"Who exactly is refining pills?"
With a swish, Gu Bing, who had reacted, directly closed the alchemy room door, fearing that someone might disturb Ye Fei.
"Come out!"
At this moment, Ye Fei was already drenched in sweat.
His spirit was stretched to its absolute limit.
With his shout, two perfectly pure pills, glowing fiery red, flew out of the alchemy furnace.
Then, Ye Fei collected them into a small jade bottle.
This time, Ye Fei only spent less than half an hour refining the Little Returning Pill!
It was incredibly fast!
And judging by the strong pill aroma that had been released, the quality of the pills must be exceptionally high!
"Ye Fei, let me wipe your sweat for you!"
Nangong Qingxue was the first to take out a silk handkerchief and came directly to Ye Fei. Without any preamble, she began to wipe the sweat from his face.
As for Gu Bing, who had also taken out a silk handkerchief and intended to make a move, she quietly put the handkerchief back.
The atmosphere between the three of them was slightly awkward.
Fortunately, Ye Fei broke the tense silence in time.
"Look, this is the Little Returning Pill I refined!"
"Now I can finally rest assured!"
Upon seeing the familiar four-layered pill pattern, Ye Fei's heart finally settled.
Gu Bing, for the time being, set aside her petty jealousy, as the important matter took precedence!
She quickly walked up to Ye Fei and said.
"Ye Fei, hurry, let me see the Little Returning Pill you refined!"
"I truly wish to see it!"
Ye Fei, in an exceptionally good mood, directly handed the pills to Gu Bing.
"Here!"
At this moment, Gu Bing's heart was pounding. The moment she opened the small jade bottle, an even more potent pill aroma assailed her, making her feel as if she were soaking in a hot spring, extremely comfortable.
"Four pill patterns!"
"Two top-grade Little Returning Pills!"
This discovery made Gu Bing unable to remain seated!
Her mind raced, and seeing such a golden opportunity before her, she was determined not to let it slip away!
"Mr. Ye, would you be willing to exclusively supply these Little Returning Pills to our Qizhen Pavilion?"
"Rest assured, for every Little Returning Pill sold, we will give you fifty percent of the profits!"
"Furthermore, Qizhen Pavilion will provide all the medicinal ingredients. What do you say?"
As a businesswoman, she naturally saw the business potential in Ye Fei.
Therefore, she spoke sincerely.
"Alright!"
Ye Fei agreed immediately.
"Thank you, Mr. Ye. Rest assured, if you ever need any medicinal ingredients in the future, we will find them for you!"
"As long as you give us the exclusive sales rights for the pills, we will give you fifty percent of the profits for every pill!"
Gu Bing was willing to go to great lengths to retain Ye Fei.
"Rest assured, I never refine pills below top-grade!"
"You won't lose out by cooperating with me!"
Ye Fei said with rare reassurance.
This statement made Gu Bing blush with shame once again!
Listen to this!
If anyone else had spoken so boastfully, Gu Bing would have surely reprimanded them harshly!
But when Ye Fei said it, she felt as if it was only natural.
"Alright, thank you for finding the medicinal ingredients for me today."
"However, I need to state in advance that I have an urgent need for these two pills, but I will leave them for you."
"As for the cost of the medicinal ingredients, I will still settle it with Vajra stones, is that acceptable?"
