Chapter 892: Chapter 892: Alchemy Gains
Tianxing Venerable was not foolish; she had already realized that after this incident, Zhu Fei’s stall, which previously had been extremely quiet, would likely attract many pill seekers.
In this situation, Tianxing Venerable insisted on staying behind, naturally to help Zhu Fei shoulder some of the burden.
After all, Zhu Fei was currently alone, and once he had many people seeking pills, he would inevitably be overwhelmed.
Zhu Fei now understood Tianxing Venerable’s intentions, and upon hearing this, he did not refuse but rather smiled and nodded:
"In that case, thank you, Tianxing friend, for your help. Tianxing friend, it’s better to go inside this cave residence first and recover from your injuries."
Tianxing Venerable nodded in agreement, did not refuse Zhu Fei’s kind offer, said "thank you," and then directly entered Zhu Fei’s humble cave residence.
It was only then that the gathered crowd finally awakened to the situation, all flocking forward to request Zhu Fei’s alchemy skills.
Seeing things were out of hand, Zhu Fei quickly raised his hand in salute and said loudly to everyone present:
"Ladies and gentlemen, if you wish for alchemy, please form a queue. The alchemy charge is the same as I said before, taking 30% of the pill itself. If anyone isn’t willing to adhere to my rules, I apologize, but please don’t cause trouble here, thank you."
As soon as Zhu Fei’s words fell, the previously chaotic scene immediately became orderly.
A square-faced middle-aged man, dressed in a white long shirt and at the front of the queue, respectfully said to Zhu Fei:
"Alchemist Zhu, I have no objections to your previous requirements. I just want to ask if you can refine the First Grade Immortal True Pill? When can you start refining it for us?"
The First Grade Immortal True Pill mentioned by the man surnamed Qu is used for breaking through the True Immortal Minor Realm. Even among all First Grade Immortal Pills, it is considered an extremely precious pill.
Upon hearing his words, Zhu Fei thought for a moment and then responded:
"Refining the Immortal True Pill is not a problem. As for when to officially start alchemy, we’ll wait until my friend comes out."
"Good, in that case, I will trouble Alchemist Zhu later."
The man surnamed Qu had no objection to Zhu Fei’s response; in fact, everyone present had no objection to Zhu Fei’s decision.
After all, it’s about requesting others for alchemy, and everyone has the patience to wait for this time.
The man surnamed Qu then took out a storage bag from himself and placed it directly on Zhu Fei’s stall.
No need to ask; the storage bag the man surnamed Qu took out evidently contained the materials for refining the Immortal True Pill.
Zhu Fei picked up the storage bag and scanned it with his divine sense, finding that in addition to the materials for the Immortal True Pill, there were 2,100 low-grade Immortal Crystals.
With this thought, Zhu Fei immediately understood.
The market price for the Immortal True Pill should be around 7,000 low-grade Immortal Crystals. According to his alchemy rules this time, it makes sense for the other party to give him 2,100 Immortal Crystals.
Upon understanding this, Zhu Fei nodded slightly to the man surnamed Qu and said:
"Alright, once my friend comes out, I’ll help you refine the Immortal True Pill."
Hearing this, the man surnamed Qu felt a bit of joy in his heart and repeatedly expressed gratitude to Zhu Fei.
About an hour later, Tianxing Venerable, who went in to recover, finally returned to Zhu Fei’s side.
She first looked at the long queue of pill seekers, then glanced at Zhu Fei, nodded, and said to the pill seekers:
"Friends, please come to me first to register your pill requests. As long as the conditions are met, Alchemist Zhu can refine pills for you."
Having said that, Tianxing Venerable sat next to Zhu Fei and began her assistant duties.
Seeing this, Zhu Fei knew the situation no longer required his attention, greeted Tianxing Venerable, and then took the materials for the Immortal True Pill and entered the humble cave residence behind.
About half an hour later, Tianxing Venerable entered the humble cave residence and came out holding a jade bottle.
She handed the jade bottle to the man surnamed Qu and said, "Here is your Immortal True Pill; check if it is satisfactory to you."
The man surnamed Qu hurriedly took the jade bottle, and upon opening it, he found three high-quality Immortal True Pills inside.
This made him display a joyous expression and he continually nodded, saying, "Satisfied, very satisfied! Thank you, Alchemist Zhu, and Tianxing friend."
After the man surnamed Qu left, Tianxing Venerable then said to the man behind him, "Bring over your materials, I’ll pass them to Alchemist Zhu."
Upon hearing that, the man immediately handed a storage bag to Tianxing Venerable without saying a word.
In fact, after a series of events, people now held great trust in Zhu Fei’s alchemy skills.
Now, not only are Zhu Fei’s alchemy conditions quite favorable, people would come to queue for pills even if the conditions were stricter.
Thus, Zhu Fei spent an entire day amidst receiving requests and refining pills.
By the time Zhu Fei decided to stop accepting customers temporarily, the amount of Immortal Crystals he had reached an astonishing forty thousand, along with a vast reserve of various Immortal Pills.
It must be said, Alchemy is indeed one of the most profitable professions.
In just one day, Zhu Fei had transformed from an impoverished wretch into someone with nearly ten thousand Immortal Crystals in assets.
Then Zhu Fei exited the humble cave residence, clasped his hands, and addressed some of the pill seekers still there:
"Ladies and gentlemen, today’s alchemy ends here. Tomorrow, I may relocate to a new place for alchemy, lasting three days in total. I hope friends in need will come to visit, thank you."
Regarding alchemy for others, Zhu Fei said three days, not indefinitely, not because he didn’t want to earn money, but because he couldn’t keep doing it like that.
Firstly, doing so over a long time might disrupt the market balance for low-grade pills.
Secondly, it might incur the hostility of certain peers.
After all, everyone is doing business here; doing activities for a day or several days is fine, but doing it continuously might prevent others from making a living.
Considering these issues, Zhu Fei organized a three-day alchemy event.
"Alchemist Zhu! Alchemist Zhu! Please wait! Hold on!"
When all the pill seekers left, Zhu Fei and Tianxing Venerable were also about to pack up and search for a new stall or cave residence when suddenly, an urgent voice sounded behind them.
