Qingyue naturally didn’t dare to express Fang Bai’s complaints out loud.
She took two steps forward, cleared her throat, and shouted crisply to the various Immortals passing by, "Honored seniors, at this stall we can refine pills and artifacts for you, ta beasts, and set up formations. Co and take a look!"
She repeated these few lines over and over, and occasionally so Immortals would pause, but after seeing the writing on the sign, they would walk away again.
It’s important to know, in the Immortal Realm, Alchemists, Artifact Refiners, Beast Tars, and Array Masters are all very rare; any Immortal skilled in one of these areas can traverse the Immortal Realm, benefiting for life.
Yet Fang Bai, being so young, was ambitiously aiming to refine pills and artifacts, ta beasts, and set up formations all at once. To the passing Immortals, it seed like he was just grandstanding, not even worth a glance.
They had a poor impression of Fang Bai, so they couldn’t be bothered to look any further.
Qingyue shouted for quite a while, but when no Immortal approached, her shoulders slumped, and she felt a bit discouraged.
She turned her head to glance at Fang Bai, her lips moved as if she were about to speak, but then she heard Fang Bai’s voice conveying so instructions to her through Thread Condensation Sound Transmission.
"Ah? Senior... is this really okay?"
Qingyue slightly opened her small mouth, looking incredulously.
Fang Bai smiled and nodded gently.
Qingyue responded with an "oh" and in a louder voice said, "Honored seniors, stop by; don’t miss out! Today, a genius Alchemist has set up shop in the marketplace and is officially open for pill refining! Any senior wishing to refine a third or fourth-grade Immortal Pill can co here!"
She paused, raised her voice a bit more, and continued, "We promise: three portions of cultivation resources for one Immortal Pill. If not successful, you’ll receive double compensation! Honored seniors..."
Qingyue repeatedly shouted the lines Fang Bai instructed through the Thread Condensation Voice Transmission Technique. Especially on the last line, "If not successful, double compensation," she emphasized the tone.
Though she followed Fang Bai’s instructions to shout like this, she didn’t have much faith that Fang Bai could successfully refine one Immortal Pill from three portions of cultivation resources.
After all, in the Immortal Realm, even the most skilled Alchemist fails sotis; no Pill Master would dare make such a promise.
Fang Bai’s cultivation level was rely at the second-grade Human Immortal Realm, and in Qingyue’s view, this level of cultivation was far from enough to support such a promise.
However, Fang Bai’s thod did attract so Immortals to approach.
"Three portions of cultivation resources for one Immortal Pill—are you serious?"
A stout Immortal walked over, voiced his question with a rumble.
That Immortal was a third-grade Human Immortal Realm expert, nearly a zhang in height. As he walked, he moved with a fierce montum. Every step made the ground tremble loudly, clearly indicating he was an Immortal well-known for his brute strength.
He walked to Fang Bai’s stall, stood firm, and his eyes flashed like lightning as he fixed his gaze on Fang Bai.
He intended to use Immortal Might to pressure Fang Bai and make him embarrass himself, but was surprised to see Fang Bai remain calm and collected, smiling as he said, "Whether it’s true or not, a trial will tell."
Seeing Fang Bai, a re second-grade Human Immortal expert, unafraid of his third-grade Human Immortal’s released Immortal Might, the Immortal couldn’t help but say "hmm," viewing Fang Bai with newfound respect.
Soon after, he pulled out three portions of prepared cultivation resources, tossed them onto Fang Bai’s stall, and declared in a thunderous voice, "Very well, then. Help refine a few third-grade Pill Condensations!"
Pill Condensations, as the na implies, are used to condense Immortal Qi, one of the essential Immortal Pills for Immortals cultivating in the Immortal Realm.
The three sets of materials provided by the Immortal were ant for refining third-grade Pill Condensations, and in his eyes, for Fang Bai, who was in the second-grade Immortal Realm, to refine third-grade Immortal Pills constituted cross-realm alchemy, which wasn’t a small challenge.
However, since Fang Bai had promised that failed alchemy attempts would be compensated double, for that Immortal, it was a risk-free bargain—so why not?
As a low-tier Immortal employed by Fang Bai to run errands, Qingyue had so awareness. Seeing the Immortal toss several alchemy materials onto the stall, she hurried forward to clean up and organize them, then at Fang Bai’s indication, placed them in the alchemy room behind the stall.
"Hey, when can you complete the Immortal Pill refining?"
As he saw Fang Bai rise and walk towards the alchemy room, the Immortal asked loudly.
Not turning back, Fang Bai raised a finger.
"One day?"
That Immortal paused for a mont, then with a disgruntled tone said, "Don’t boast! As far as I know, in the Immortal Realm, it takes an Alchemist at least three to five days, and at most half a month, to refine a batch of third-grade Immortal Pills. Can you do it in one day?"
"Who said one day?"
Fang Bai retorted with equal grumpiness, "I ant two hours!"
With that, he ignored the Immortal and walked straight into the alchemy room.
Each alchemy room here is set up with an Isolation Formation to prevent other Immortals from using Divine Sense to peek into the alchemy process.
After Fang Bai entered the alchemy room, he waved a hand to set up another Isolation Formation. With such a double-layer isolation, even the Divine Sense of an Earth Immortal Realm expert couldn’t discover the secrets within.
The Red Silkworm Spirit Fire, Nether Spirit Fire, and Green Lotus Spirit Fire, which Fang Bai subdued in the Three Thousand Great Worlds, had upgraded to Immortal Fires after reaching the Immortal Realm and advancing to the Human Immortal Realm with Fang Bai.
Though the power of the three Immortal Fires was not strong at the mont, they were more than sufficient for refining third-grade Immortal Pills.
Although Fang Bai’s cultivation level was at the second-grade Human Immortal Realm, his combat strength could rival a fourth-grade Human Immortal Realm expert. So, as long as he was cautious, he could refine fourth-grade Immortal Pills.
He sat cross-legged in the alchemy room, summoned the Five Elents Origin Qi Cauldron and the Red Silkworm Spirit Fire. As the flas grew fierce and the cauldron heated, he threw the alchemy materials inside, and controlled the fire with his Divine Sense to refine the Immortal Pills.
The refining process was very smooth, and in less than an hour, the first batch of Immortal Pills was successfully completed.
Though this first batch only produced five third-grade Pill Condensations, which was a bit unfortunate, the success rate was still outstanding compared to other Alchemists.
Without resting, Fang Bai imdiately began refining a second batch of Spirit Pills.
This ti, he was more adept at controlling the Immortal Fire, the timing of Core Formation was precise, and finally, he refined eight third-grade Pill Condensations.
While refining the third batch of Immortal Pills, his alchemy skill reached its peak, producing ten Immortal Pills.
He placed the five Pill Condensations from the first batch in a Jade Bottle alone, preparing to hand them over to the muscular Immortal, and stored the remaining eighteen into his Five Elents Space Ring.
These were his due rewards, which no one could contest.
Having completed three batches of Immortal Pills, the end of two hours approached perfectly.
Fang Bai opened the door and walked out, Qingyue ca up to et him, seeing his relaxed deanor and a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, she couldn’t help but relax, knowing Fang Bai’s alchemy was likely successful.
