CHAPTER 914: CHAPTER 914: PILL MASTER IDENTITY BADGE

"Star Origin Pill?"

Upon hearing Zhu Fei’s words, Hong Jizi couldn’t help but be slightly startled.

In his view, Zhu Fei, in such a short time, should be choosing the simplest pill to challenge the Second Grade Immortal Alchemist examination, not expecting him to pick the Star Origin Pill.

Although the Star Origin Pill is not the hardest to refine among all Second Grade Immortal Pills, it is still much more difficult compared to Healing Pills like the Rejuvenation Pill.

"Fellow Zhu Fei, have you really made up your mind? For this Second Grade Immortal Alchemist examination, you’ve decided to refine the Star Origin Pill?"

In fact, Hong Jizi had another thought he didn’t voice, which was that the materials for refining the Star Origin Pill are not cheap, and given Zhu Fei’s current cultivation, it’s tough for him to bear the consequences of failure.

"Yes, I’ve decided."

Zhu Fei understood what Hong Jizi meant, but he did not intend to change his decision.

In truth, if not for his current lack of materials for refining a Heavenly Pill, he might have considered using a Heavenly Pill for this Second Grade Immortal Alchemist examination.

"Alright then, since that’s the case, please go ahead, Fellow Zhu Fei."

As he spoke, Hong Jizi already took out a Second Grade Alchemy Furnace from his own belongings.

He then raised his hand, summoning a vein of Earth Core Fire beneath the Alchemy Furnace.

Through that Earth Core Fire, Zhu Fei could clearly sense that its temperature was only slightly lower than his current Divine Blue Netherworld Fire.

This meant that the alchemy environment provided by the Pill Conference this time was not much different from his previous alchemy environment.

Realizing this, Zhu Fei didn’t hesitate, casually summoning several Immortal Spirit Medicines directly into the Pill Furnace in front of him.

Seeing Zhu Fei refine pills in this manner, Hong Jizi immediately frowned.

He felt that Zhu Fei’s approach might be a bit reckless, but before he could respond, the scene unfolding before him left his jaw dropped.

Zhu Fei’s hands moved like lightning, continuously placing the necessary Immortal Spirit Medicines into the Pill Furnace.

Under Zhu Fei’s manipulation of the Earth Core Fire, these Immortal Spirit Medicines quickly turned into droplets of pure Medicine Liquid.

Such skilled and practiced technique made Hong Jizi’s gasp in amazement.

"This, this... it’s simply ’freakish’!"

"Hiss—hiss—"

Yet Hong Jizi’s shock didn’t end there, as Zhu Fei continued to cast Pill Formula after Pill Formula, rapidly merging the Medicine Liquid essences inside the Pill Furnace.

A rich and intoxicating pill fragrance suddenly wafted from the Alchemy Furnace.

Catching a whiff of this fragrance, Hong Jizi, already quite shocked, found his expression changing once again.

"Good lad, the solidifying speed of the pill is unexpectedly fast. I wonder, with your alchemy method, what will be the quality of the final product?"

As Hong Jizi muttered to himself, the situation inside Zhu Fei’s Alchemy Furnace changed again.

The previously coagulating Medicine Liquid essence had already turned into crystal-clear round pills, with several visible pill lines evenly distributed on them.

As Zhu Fei executed the final Pill Collection Skill, twelve pills lined up straight and were instantly placed into a Jade Bottle by Zhu Fei.

"Fellow Zhu Fei, quickly show me the Star Origin Pill you’ve refined!"

Just as Zhu Fei placed the pills into the Jade Bottle, Hong Jizi couldn’t hold back and urged him.

It wasn’t that Hong Jizi was being overly curious, but Zhu Fei’s series of alchemy techniques had left him too stunned.

In the Pill Conference branch where Hong Jizi oversaw exams for countless Pill Masters, none had refined pills with such fluidity and artistry as Zhu Fei. Thus, his reaction upon seeing Zhu Fei collect the pills wasn’t surprising.

"Haha, Brother Hong, please go ahead."

In response to Hong Jizi’s eagerness, Zhu Fei wasn’t bothered; he merely smiled and handed the Jade Bottle containing the Star Origin Pills to Hong Jizi.

"This, this... it’s a furnace full of Special Grade Star Origin Pills!"

Upon opening the Jade Bottle, Hong Jizi couldn’t help but exclaim.

He then unceremoniously took a pill from the Jade Bottle, placed it into his mouth, and carefully savored it with closed eyes.

Moments later, as Hong Jizi reopened his eyes, his face was full of admiration, nodding to himself: "Excellent, truly excellent."

"Brother Hong, I’d like to know if the pills I’ve refined this time can pass your Pill Conference’s Second Grade Immortal Alchemist examination?"

Seeing Hong Jizi’s current expression, Zhu Fei fittingly asked, hearing Hong Jizi nod repeatedly: "No problem, your identity as a Second Grade Immortal Alchemist is well assured!"

With that, Hong Jizi turned his hand, and in the next moment, a Second Grade Immortal Alchemist badge appeared in his hand!

"Fellow Zhu Fei, this is the identity badge of our designated Immortal Alchemist. With this badge, wherever you go within our Pill Conference’s markets, you’ll receive various benefits. Here, take it."

"Alchemist’s Identity Badge?"

Taking the badge Hong Jizi handed over, Zhu Fei noticed that the badge actually contained some information about himself.

"That’s right, Fellow Zhu Fei. Now you only need to imprint a strand of your Divine Thought onto this badge to fully control it and become a member of our Pill Conference."

"Oh, really?"

Upon hearing Hong Jizi’s explanation, Zhu Fei didn’t hesitate and immediately injected a strand of Divine Thought into the badge.

"Buzz—"

As soon as Zhu Fei injected his Divine Thought into the badge, his mind slightly trembled, and a massive amount of information about the Pill Conference flowed into his mind from the badge.

To think, this Pill Conference in the Immortal Realm possesses such vast influence.

After a long while, Zhu Fei finally returned to his senses from the overwhelming influx of information.

"Congratulations, Fellow Zhu Fei, for truly becoming a member of our Pill Conference from this day forward."

At this moment, Hong Jizi suddenly raised his hand, cupping his fists towards Zhu Fei with a smile, speaking very politely.

It was no wonder. Zhu Fei was the one Hong Jizi was responsible for examining, and he was well aware of Zhu Fei’s remarkable talent in alchemy.

Hong Jizi fully believed that with the alchemical talent Zhu Fei demonstrated today, if he continued to work hard, he would inevitably become part of the upper echelons of the Pill Conference in the future.

Faced with such a promising young man, Hong Jizi naturally would not be negligent.

"Brother Hong, you are too kind. I owe much to your guidance, I—"

"Bang—"

Before Zhu Fei could finish his sentence, a sudden loud noise erupted from the door of the quiet chamber where the two were staying!
