"Tha... thank you, thank you, Master." The middle-aged scholar was instantly filled with excitement.

Earlier, he had approached Zhu Fei requesting Alchemy, but it was mostly with a try-and-see attitude.

However, the results were beyond his wildest expectations; not only did Zhu Fei successfully create the Xuantian Pill, but it was also of superior quality, a tremendous surprise for the middle-aged scholar.

Once the middle-aged scholar received the Pill from Zhu Fei and forced himself to calm his emotions, he suddenly realized and quickly took out a storage bag from himself, handing it to Zhu Fei, with a slightly apologetic tone:

"Master, I'm really sorry about earlier. This is a small token of my personal gratitude, and I hope you will accept it."

The storage bag presented by the middle-aged scholar had no Prohibition on it, so Zhu Fei quickly saw the items inside, which were materials for making the Xuantian Pill.

Facing this scene, Zhu Fei merely smiled lightly and said, "My friend, I already mentioned earlier that you are the first person to seek my Alchemy services, and I promised to help you for free.

So, these items of yours, I can only accept them in spirit; you should take them back. I won't take them."

Hearing Zhu Fei's words, the middle-aged scholar was taken aback.

In his view, Zhu Fei's earlier words might have been a way to gain their trust.

If he hadn't succeeded in Alchemy before, it would have been fine, but now that he succeeded, he obviously couldn't be so tactless as to let Zhu Fei refine the Pill for him for free.

But seeing Zhu Fei's demeanor now, his words evidently did not seem like a mere pretense but rather a sincere refusal to take his items.

In an instant, the middle-aged scholar felt a surge of gratitude towards Zhu Fei.

He nodded and said, "Alright, since the Master has said so, I won't insist. If ever the Master needs anything, feel free to ask; I will do my best to help."

Upon hearing what the scholar surnamed Zhuang had to say, Bai Shan's expression slightly changed.

At that moment, he finally understood Zhu Fei's purpose in doing so.

Since he had previously 'tempted' everyone with the Golden Ring Immortal Pill, now Zhu Fei was using the same method to make everyone present owe him a favor.

After such an event, if he used the same method again to get the crowd to do his bidding, it would obviously be impossible.

Moreover, as time dragged on, even after three 2-hour sessions, any willing assistance for Bai Shan would prove useless.

By that time, Meng You and Kong Yuan would have long since left Sea Moon Immortal City, fled to an unknown place.

Trying to find them again would evidently become extremely difficult, if not impossible.

Upon realizing this, Bai Shan's eyes flashed with an extreme killing intent.

He could not delay any longer and had to deal with Zhu Fei before he took full control of the situation!

However, before Bai Shan could take any action, another male voice suddenly resonated in the crowd.

"May I ask this Master, whether you can refine a Heavenly Soul Pill? If possible, would you kindly lend your skills? I would be immensely grateful."

A tall, robust man with a mane of golden hair suddenly broke through the crowd and approached Zhu Fei, looking at him with eager anticipation.

Hearing the words of this robust man, Bai Shan's eyes flashed with an exceptionally sinister expression.

He was just about to instruct Jiang Yuan to warn the other party, but then he suddenly discovered, to his shock, that the man's cultivation was shockingly... at the Late Stage of the Golden Immortal!

A Late Stage Golden Immortal seeking Zhu Fei for Alchemy, how could this be possible?

At that moment, Bai Shan suddenly felt a sensation of wanting to cough up blood; for heaven's sake, is anyone going to do business peacefully?

You're a Late Stage Golden Immortal seeking a third-grade Immortal Pill; can't you get it anytime? Why must you step in to mess things up right now, just to make things difficult for me, Bai Shan?

However, Bai Shan quickly froze.

Just... just now, this Late Stage Golden Immortal, what was the Pill he wanted again? A He... Heavenly Soul Pill?

In an instant, Bai Shan immediately comprehended everything.

The Heavenly Soul Pill, though appearing to be a third-grade Immortal Pill,

it is specifically used for repairing Divine Soul injuries. Though just a third-grade Immortal Pill,

its creation is so challenging that even many Fourth Grade Pill Masters might not succeed.

This illustrates the immense difficulty of manufacturing such a third-grade Immortal Pill.

Bai Shan's reaction on this side, Zhu Fei and the others naturally could not care.

At this moment, upon hearing the robust man's words, Zhu Fei immediately laughed.

"Esteemed predecessor, I can indeed refine the Heavenly Soul Pill, but about the materials needed for its Alchemy, are they already prepared?"

Indeed, Zhu Fei is fully confident in refining the Heavenly Soul Pill.

But concerning the materials for the Heavenly Soul Pill, Zhu Fei wouldn't provide them himself, for the precious materials are something not to be taken lightly, even for someone of Zhu Fei's stature.

The robust man's eyes flickered slightly at Zhu Fei's words, nodding as he said:

"No problem, I have all the materials needed for refining the Heavenly Soul Pill; however, I also wish to ask, Master, how confident are you in refining this Heavenly Soul Pill? Can you produce a Mid Grade one?"

Zhu Fei's eyes flashed with a touch of surprise, but he still nodded with a smile:

"Regarding whether a Mid Grade or higher Heavenly Soul Pill can be successfully refined, I personally think I have some confidence, however, the process is not easy and requires an undisturbed environment. Esteemed predecessor, what do you think..."

As he spoke, Zhu Fei's gaze was directly towards Bai Shan and Jiang Yuan at a short distance.

Bai Shan and Jiang Yuan's eyebrows twitched slightly, sensing trouble.

Just as expected, Zhu Fei continued to laugh, "I only hope that in the time I refine the Heavenly Soul Pill, there will be no occurrences affecting my Alchemy; can you ensure this, esteemed predecessor?"

The robust man's eyes flashed golden, and after giving Zhu Fei a deep look, he immediately replied:

"That won't be a problem, as long as you successfully refine a Mid Grade or higher Heavenly Soul Pill. Even if it's just a Low Grade one, I, Ba Dao, assure you that if you need anything, just ask; however..."

At this point, the robust man, who called himself Ba Dao, suddenly sharpened his gaze.

"However, if you're unable to refine the Heavenly Soul Pill, or if the Alchemy fails, I won't demand anything from you. I only hope you'll compensate me for the materials, how does that sound?"
