Chapter 977: Actually, I'm an Alchemist
As they spoke, Zhu Fei was already walking toward the outer edge of the platform.
However, just as Zhu Fei's figure began to move, he was taken aback when he saw a sudden flash of light at the platform's exit.
Following that, the figures of Bai Shan and Jiang Yuan suddenly appeared in his sight!
"It's you!"
Bai Shan and Jiang Yuan clearly did not expect that upon entering the third floor from the second, they would encounter Zhu Fei directly.
However, soon after, a sneer appeared on Bai Shan's face.
"Brother Ye, it's quite unexpected, isn't it? This world is surprisingly small, and we meet again."
As he spoke, Bai Shan looked around Zhu Fei and suddenly exclaimed with surprise, "Where are those two who were with you earlier? Why aren't they by your side?"
Just as Bai Shan's voice fell, he noticed a large Transmission Array not far away, and his expression suddenly changed drastically.
"Damn it! How could I have forgotten about this?"
A sinister glint flashed in Bai Shan's eyes, and he suddenly spoke loudly to everyone present: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am Bai Shan from the Independent Cultivator Alliance, and Bai Potian is my father. I have a small request.
If any of you can fulfill my request, no matter now or after leaving this place, I, and the Independent Cultivator Alliance to which I belong, will inevitably reward you handsomely."
As he spoke, Bai Shan cupped his hands and saluted everyone present.
"Oh, it's Brother Bai from the Independent Cultivator Alliance. What request does Brother Bai have? Why not tell us and let us hear it?"
Several people in the crowd immediately responded as soon as Bai Shan finished speaking.
Bai Shan once again cupped his fists to the crowd and said, "Previously, this person and his two companions coveted my treasures and therefore ambushed me.
Fortunately, I had some abilities at hand, so they didn't succeed. However, now, those two companions are no longer here, so I suspect they must have left this Divine Burning Tower ahead of time."
"Oh, from what you're saying, Brother Bai, you want us to leave the Divine Burning Tower ahead of time to help you chase those two down?"
A youth with a fierce appearance and a sullen expression suddenly spoke at this point.
Bai Shan nodded and said, "That's right, precisely so. Of course, when you leave, you don't need to act personally. Just relay the message to the members of my Independent Cultivator Alliance outside, and naturally, someone will seek out those two villains."
Pausing for a moment, Bai Shan continued, "Of course, since I'm asking you to leave the Divine Burning Tower early, rewarding you is inevitable. Except for anything else, I can afford a Golden Ring Immortal Pill."
"What? A Golden Ring Immortal Pill? Brother Bai, are you sure?"
Upon suddenly hearing Bai Shan's proposed reward, everyone present displayed expressions of astonishment.
The so-called Golden Ring Immortal Pill is a type of Pill that allows a Profound Immortal to breakthrough to Golden Immortal.
This Pill is extremely rare, and compared to other Pills that allow Profound Immortals to breakthrough to Golden Immortal, its likelihood is more than double.
So, once the crowd registered this news, most of them couldn't help but reveal intrigued expressions.
Zhu Fei had anticipated Bai Shan's intentions upon observing him watching the Transmission Array.
But the result surprised him; Bai Shan did not forget to deal with Meng You and Kong Yuan, and it was through such a method.
At this moment, seeing the intrigued expressions on many faces, Zhu Fei felt anxious.
He knew very well that if someone really left using the Transmission Array and informed the Independent Cultivator Alliance outside about Meng You and Kong Yuan,
then Meng You and Kong Yuan, unaware of the situation, would most likely suffer a significant loss.
This was something Zhu Fei did not want to see.
Nevertheless, currently, Meng You and Kong Yuan were considered his friends.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have revealed his real name to them before they left.
But the Golden Ring Immortal Pill was too tempting, and since he couldn't refine such Pills himself, stopping these people from leaving was obviously extremely difficult, perhaps even impossible.
Moreover, he understood that even if he spoke more to these greedy people, it wouldn't have any real effect.
Thinking of this, Zhu Fei simply decided not to do anything else and directly blocked the Transmission Array, saying to everyone present:
"Ladies and gentlemen, though I know what I say may not concern you, I still wish to say that I am an Alchemist.
If you are willing to wait here for three hours, and if after three hours you still want to leave the Divine Burning Tower, I won't stop you.
Furthermore, as compensation, if any of you need, I can begin Alchemy for you on the spot for free. Although I cannot yet refine a Fourth Grade Golden Ring Immortal Pill, I am quite confident with a third-grade Immortal Pill."
Upon suddenly hearing Zhu Fei's words, there was another stir among the crowd.
Initially, most didn't regard Zhu Fei, an early-stage Profound Immortal, but his words piqued the interest of some.
Bai Shan's expression changed abruptly, never expecting Zhu Fei to be an Alchemist, let alone a third-grade Immortal Alchemist.
If Zhu Fei were merely a Second Grade Immortal Alchemist, most people wouldn't pay him much mind.
But a third-grade Immortal Alchemist is a different matter entirely.
After all, those present were mostly around the Profound Immortal cultivation stage and had a high demand for third-grade Immortal Pills.
After all, the reward of a Golden Ring Immortal Pill he mentioned earlier was just a promise.
In contrast, Zhu Fei was tangible, and with the right materials, he could provide them with what they needed immediately.
At that moment, Bai Shan finally regarded Zhu Fei with some seriousness.
"Master, earlier you mentioned you could refine third-grade Immortal Pills. Could you refine a Xuantian Pill?"
At this time, a middle-aged scholar in the late stage of the Profound Immortal stepped forward, eagerly asking Zhu Fei.
Everyone knows that although the Xuantian Pill only helps a Heavenly Immortal reach the Profound Immortal stage, its refinement difficulty and value surpass many third-grade Immortal Pills.
Seeing someone finally approach to inquire, Zhu Fei was delighted.
He knew that if he could refine a Profound Immortal Pill, it would validate his claim.
This would greatly aid his efforts to buy time.
Immediately, Zhu Fei looked at the middle-aged scholar and nodded, "A Profound Immortal Pill, right? No problem. As you are the first to request Alchemy, I'll provide the ingredients for this batch to show my sincerity."
