Chapter 883: Chapter 883: Dividing the Pills
Zhu Fei discovered that among the immortal plants before him, apart from one Immortal Grass, he surprisingly did not recognize the others.
This was not unexpected; after all, Zhu Fei’s extensive knowledge was still limited to the Cultivation World level.
Regarding many things and matters in the Immortal Realm, he had only heard of them; knowing everything was impossible.
Even though his alchemy skills were not ordinary, and he had inherited the Creation and Transformation Pill Scripture.
However, these were ultimately only about alchemy, and the scripture didn’t detail how to identify herbs or discover their uses.
So, faced with these unidentified immortal plants, Zhu Fei was momentarily hesitant, unsure of which ones to choose.
"Brother Zhu, do you think we should divide these things first?"
At that moment, Fatty Zhuge suddenly came to Zhu Fei’s side, rubbing his hands and smiling as he suggested.
"Alright."
Hearing Fatty Zhuge’s suggestion, Zhu Fei finally withdrew his attention from the immortal plants and nodded, saying, "Okay."
After a brief pause, Zhu Fei continued, "There are seven Spiritual Medicines here. How about this? I’ll take the Immortal Grass for alchemy. Once the elixir is finished, I’ll share some with you. As for the other six Spirit Grasses, we’ll split them evenly."
"You’re taking the Immortal Grass for alchemy?"
Fatty Zhuge was slightly startled, then his eyes widened with excitement, "Can you actually refine an Immortal Ascension Pill? Is this for real?"
Zhu Fei glanced at Fatty Zhuge without answering, then directly took out his Pill Furnace and began to extract the Immortal Grass, starting the alchemy process.
"Hey, hey, hey, Zhu Fei, you..."
Suddenly seeing Zhu Fei’s actions, Fatty Zhuge became anxious.
Yet before he could continue, Zhu Fei sharply commanded, "Shut up! If you don’t want my alchemy to fail, you’d better not disturb me."
The reason Zhu Fei began refining the Immortal Ascension Pill was not without cause.
In fact, since both he and Fatty Zhuge reached the Pseudo True Immortal cultivation level, Zhu Fei had been pondering what would happen once they left here.
It was conceivable that given their current situation, once they left, they would inevitably face the Ascension Heavenly Tribulation.
The best way to deal with the Ascension Heavenly Tribulation was to consume an Immortal Ascension Pill.
Previously, he was lacking alchemy materials, but now that he had them, Zhu Fei wouldn’t miss the opportunity.
After all, neither he nor Fatty Zhuge could predict when they might leave.
So at this moment, under Fatty Zhuge’s bewildered gaze, Zhu Fei started refining the Immortal Ascension Pill.
Luckily, Fatty Zhuge came to terms with it quickly after a brief shock.
There was no other choice; now that Zhu Fei had begun melting the Immortal Grass, even if Zhuge Shuaibo didn’t accept it, there was nothing he could do.
For a full half-day, Fatty Zhuge remained tense and uneasy.
Finally, after the time of another cup of tea, a rich fragrance began to drift from Zhu Fei’s Pill Furnace.
Upon smelling this fragrance, Fatty Zhuge’s spirit was instantly awakened, and his eyes immediately focused on the Pill Furnace in front of Zhu Fei.
"Fatty, quick! Help me fend off those Pill Tribulations!"
Zhu Fei’s urgent voice suddenly rang out, causing Fatty Zhuge to be momentarily stunned.
However, Fatty Zhuge quickly reacted.
Concentrating his gaze, he discovered that on the surface of Zhu Fei’s Pill Furnace, a faint black mist was already appearing.
Phantom images of Pill Demons were now hovering on the surface of the Pill Furnace, about to seep inside.
Fatty Zhuge cursed under his breath and quickly formed a sword technique with his hands, then launched it at the Pill Demons.
At the same time, Zhu Fei didn’t hesitate either, as the Divine Blue Netherworld Fire swept across the surface of the Pill Furnace.
The next moment, under their combined attacks, the Pill Demons turned to nothingness.
However, the Pill Demons weren’t confined to one wave, and just as they vanished, another wave emerged.
Zhu Fei understood that in their current location, the Heavenly Tribulation couldn’t manifest.
However, the Pill Tribulation wouldn’t disappear, giving rise to the existence of Pill Demons.
Thus, Zhu Fei and Fatty Zhuge, joined forces, and after killing off ten waves of Pill Demons, the Pill Tribulation finally vanished altogether.
And the moment the Pill Tribulation disappeared, a radiant light burst forth from Zhu Fei’s Pill Furnace, filling the entire herbal garden with a dense fragrance.
"Rise!"
Zhu Fei performed a Pill Collection Skill, and instantly, twelve Special Grade Immortal Ascension Pills were drawn out of the Pill Furnace into a prepared Jade Bottle.
Zhu Fei was quite pleased, as this time his success rate in refining the Immortal Ascension Pill was significantly higher than when refining for Tianxing Venerable.
The twelve Special Grade Immortal Ascension Pills indicated that his alchemy cultivation had truly stepped into the ranks of Immortal Alchemists.
"Wow! Zhu Fei, you... you actually succeeded in refining them! And a full batch of twelve Special Grade Immortal Ascension Pills at that!"
Fatty Zhuge suddenly exclaimed, his eyes wide as he stared at Zhu Fei, his cheeks quivering, yet his expression was one of pure ecstasy.
Fatty Zhuge was well aware of what the Special Grade Immortal Ascension Pills meant for him and Zhu Fei.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that with these pills, their ascension to the Immortal Realm was practically guaranteed.
Zhu Fei cast a glance at the elated Fatty Zhuge, then tossed him a Jade Bottle, smiling, "Your help was crucial in the successful alchemy, so I’m giving you four pills. You don’t have any objections, right?"
Catching the Jade Bottle Zhu Fei threw, Fatty Zhuge was momentarily stunned but quickly nodded.
It wasn’t because he was easily satisfied, but he knew the rules of alchemists.
Under normal circumstances, even if Zhu Fei gave him only one pill, Fatty Zhuge had no grounds for complaint.
If Zhu Fei gave him two pills as a thank you, it would already be exceptional.
Yet now, Zhu Fei had given him four pills, so what more could he say?
With that, both men stowed their pills and quickly divided all of the Spiritual Medicines.
However, at that moment, the ground beneath them suddenly quivered slightly.
Soon, Zhu Fei and Fatty Zhuge saw a wisp of faint black mist rise from the ground, rapidly dispersing into the void.
"This...?"
Both Zhu Fei and Fatty Zhuge were startled and promptly extended their Divine Sense into the ground. After thirty minutes, their faces suddenly changed dramatically.
"This is not good! Underneath the ground...?"
