Chapter 94 - 94: Creepy



“When the Alliance issued the mission, you should already know that we will conduct an assessment. Only those who pass the assessment can truly accept this mission.”

In the Zhao family residence in Immortal Cloud City, the Zhao family’s butler looked at the dozen or so alchemists below with a smile on his face.

“Let’s begin the assessment. If we don’t make the cut, at least we can go back earlier,” An old alchemist said in a low voice, and the others echoed.

Most alchemists accepted this mission because the mission was simple, the reward was generous, and it wasn’t troublesome. In terms of mentality, he naturally wanted to end the battle quickly.

“Everyone, please come over here.”

The Zhao family’s butler didn’t dare to neglect the pill refiners and invited them all to a courtyard. There were already more than ten pill furnaces neatly placed here, and medicinal herbs were also available.

“The assessment is very simple. It is to refine the Beauty Pill. In the end, whoever has the best appearance and medicinal effect of the Beauty Pill will get this mission,” the butler said in a deep voice.

None of the alchemists present had any objections. Refining a cauldron of Beauty Pills was not troublesome at all. Moreover, everything was already prepared here, so it was even simpler.

Chen Fei found a spot in the crowd and lit a fire to set up the furnace. Then, he checked the medicinal herbs beside him. He did not find any problems and threw them all into the pill furnace.

The pill refiners present were also quite casual in their refining techniques. Although they were not as rough as Chen Fei, they were not far from him.

In just a moment, the courtyard was filled with the fragrance of medicine. In less than 15 minutes, Chen Fei opened the lid of the furnace and took out the Beauty Pill. The servant of the Zhao family quickly went forward and carefully took the pill away, sending it to another courtyard.

One by one, the pill refiners refined the beauty pills and sent them to another place.

Everyone waited patiently for the result. A moment later, the butler appeared in the courtyard.

“Thank you, everyone. This mission will be given to Alchemist Chen.”

The Zhao family’s butler looked apologetic to the other alchemists. He clapped his hands, and the Zhao family servants gave each alchemist a gift box. The items in the gift box weren’t expensive, but some of the alchemists looked much better.

A moment later, Chen Fei followed the butler to another courtyard, and the sounds of orioles and coquettishness could be heard from inside.

“Martial sister, you haven’t been here for a while. If it weren’t for the Beauty Pill today, would you still not have come to look for me?” Zhao Peixiu said unhappily.

“I came because I missed you. What does it have to do with the Beauty Pill? If you keep saying that, then I’ll leave.”

“Alright, alright. Just take it that I said something wrong. Don’t leave. I still have a lot to say to you.”

Zhao Peixiu hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay. Just as she was about to continue speaking, she saw the butler walk in with a stranger.

“Miss, Alchemist Chen is here.” The butler stepped forward and smiled obsequiously.

“Then let’s begin. I want to eat the pill as soon as it comes out of the furnace.” Zhao Peixiu glanced at Chen Fei and urged the butler.

Chen Fei glanced at Zhao Peixiu and her friend. They were dignified and beautiful. Even as they were sitting, one could tell that their figures were excellent.

Chen Fei only glanced at them for a moment before he lowered his head and stopped looking. However, Chen Fei’s nose unconsciously sniffed, and an extremely faint smell of medicine drifted into his nose.

After becoming an alchemist, Chen Fei had became much more sensitive to all kinds of smells. It came with the job. The smell he smelled at this moment was an extremely high-grade injury medicine.

Chen Fei did not think too much about it. It had nothing to do with him if someone was injured and used injury medicine.

“This is the 50-year-old medicinal herb? It’s quite rare.”

“Yes, I got it by chance. My father wanted to use it to refine other pills. I begged him for a long time before he agreed to let me use it to refine the Beauty Pill,” Zhao Peixiu said proudly.

“This sounds like I’m taking advantage of you.”

“There’s no need to be polite with me. As long as you come to find me often, I’ll be extremely happy.” Zhao Peixiu smiled.

Chen Fei listened to the conversation between the two ladies and closed his eyes to rest. When all the ingredients were placed in front of him, Chen Fei opened his eyes and started to refine the pill.

Zhao Peixiu looked curiously at Chen Fei refining the pill, but she immediately turned her head away in boredom. Refining the pill was completely different from what she had imagined. It was very boring.

Chen Fei looked at the pill furnace and felt the changes in the medicinal properties of the herbs in the furnace. He adjusted it from time to time.

Compared to the ordinary Beauty Pill, the medicinal properties of the medicinal ingredients changed drastically after fifty years. If one was not careful, the refinement might really fail.

Fortunately, Chen Fei was too familiar with the Beauty Pill. Even if the medicinal properties changed drastically, it was still under Chen Fei’s control.

The medicinal fragrance began to pervade the courtyard. After 25 minutes, as Chen Fei slapped off the lid of the furnace, the expensive Beauty Pill was officially refined.

II

Done? Senior Sister, come over and take a look.”

When Zhao Peixiu saw Chen Fei take out the elixir, she couldn’t wait to drag her friend along to Chen Fei.

The medicinal fragrance was originally permeating the air, but suddenly, two wisps of women’s faint body fragrance barged into the air. Chen Fei took a deep breath subconsciously. His brows twitched slightly. Why did it feel a little familiar?

“Miss, the pill has just been out of the furnace. It is best to wait for a moment before taking it.”

When the butler saw that Zhao Peixiu wanted to take it immediately, he quickly went forward to dissuade her. Otherwise, Zhao Peixiu would probably be scalded later. Then, his position as a butler would probably end.

“Got it.”

Zhao Peixiu looked at the three Beauty Pills on the plate, her face full of smiles. She could give the remaining one to her mother later.

“Alchemist Chen, please follow me.”

When the butler saw the smile on Zhao Peixiu’s face, he understood that she was extremely satisfied. He cupped his hands slightly at Chen Fei and led Chen Fei out of the courtyard. After all, it was Miss Zhao’s courtyard. It was better for outsiders to stay away.

“Sister, why are you looking at the pill refiner?” Zhao Peixiu asked curiously.

“It’s nothing. It’s just that his refining level is very high. If you need anything in the future, you can look for him.”

“It’s not bad. I thought that at most two would be produced. I didn’t expect there to be one more.”Zhao Peixiu chuckled.

“Thank you.” Chen Fei cupped his hands at the entrance with the butler’s gift of thanks.

“It’s all thanks to Alchemist Chen this time. I’ll send someone to the Alliance to complete this mission,” the butler said with a smile.

“Thank you so much!”

“I should be the one thanking you.”

Chen Fei left the Zhao family mansion and returned to the rented courtyard.

Along the way, Chen Fei’s brows were tightly furrowed. He kept feeling that the woman he saw in the Zhao Family Estate just now was familiar, but he just could not remember where he had met her.

“You’re back. Did the mission go smoothly?” Chi Defeng saw Chen Fei’s frown and couldn’t help but ask out of concern.

“Yes, it’s done.” Chen Fei nodded.

“Then why do you look so troubled?” Chi Defeng asked curiously. The mission had already been completed, so why was he still like this?

“Just now, I saw a person in the Zhao Family Estate. I felt that she was familiar, but I’ve never seen that face before.”

This was what puzzled Chen Fei the most. If he had met her once, he would not have forgotten her, especially when it was a familiar scent. Chen Fei had nothing to hide from Chi Defeng, so he told him all his doubts.

“You’re familiar with the smell. Isn’t your impression a little too deep?” Chi Defeng couldn’t help but laugh.

“Yeah, it left a deep impression.”

Chen Fei’s words suddenly stopped as if a bolt of lightning had flashed across Chen Fei’s mind. Chen Fei finally remembered where he had smelled that scent before. Wasn’t it the demoness he met on the mountain that night?

Because the two parties were very close and the situation was tense, Chen Fei had a very deep impression of Shi Xueqin’s taste.

He couldn’t recall it earlier because Shi Xueqin’s appearance had changed. She was completely different from the one he saw that night.

At the same time, Chen Fei knew why he was brooding over the person just now. It was because of the smell of the medicine. Subconsciously, Chen Fei connected these things together. It was just that he was stuck for a moment and did not react immediately.

However, what puzzled Chen Fei was that when he saw Shi Xueqin that night, Chen Fei was very sure that what he saw was Shi Xueqin’s true appearance.

As long as Shi Xueqin had disguised herself, Chen Fei would be able to tell. Chen Fei still had this bit of confidence. However, when he saw Shi Xueqin again today, not only did her appearance change, but Chen Fei also did not see any traces of disguise.

“Is there any other way to change appearances besides Disguise Technique?” Chen Fei raised his head and looked at Chi Defeng. In terms of Jianghu experience, Chi Defeng was indeed much more experienced than Chen Fei.

“Yes, and there are many ways.” Chi Defeng nodded.

“Who can’t see any traces of disguise?”Chen Fei asked.

“So you can’t even see the traces of disguise?”

Chi Defeng frowned slightly. He knew how superb Chen Fei’s disguise was. If Chen Fei couldn’t see through it, then there were very few ways to change one’s appearance. There were very few that could be used.

“Yes, I can’t even tell.” Chen Fei nodded.

“There’s one thing that fits what you said.”

“Human skin mask!” Chi Defeng muttered to himself for a moment. The refining method was unknown, and the method of wearing it was almost top-secret. However, as long as it was used properly, it would completely change its appearance.”

II

Human skin mask?

II

Chen Fei thought of Shi Xueqin’s flawless appearance. He reckoned that only this kind of thing could do it. If it wasn’t for the smell of the Golden Wound Medicine and the faint body fragrance, Chen Fei wouldn’t have noticed the problem.

No wonder the Divine Flame Sect had been unable to eliminate them all. This enemy was completely hidden among the masses. Even the old aristocratic families in Immortal Cloud City would have a hard time uncovering them.

Chen Fei thought about his performance in the Zhao family and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. The main reason was that when he faced Shi Xueqin, he had used a fake appearance and a different figure. The possibility of being discovered was extremely low.

It was best to inform the sect about this matter immediately. However, since she had just returned from the Zhao family, it might be a little dangerous for him to rush back to the sect. To be cautious, she could wait for a day before returning to the sect.

Although he couldn’t go back physically, he could send the news first. Chen Fei wrote the message and released the carrier pigeon.

“By the way, I haven’t heard the children playing next door for the past two days. Did they move?” Suppressing the restlessness in his heart, Chen Fei asked casually.

“A child? When has there been a child in the neighboring courtyard?” Chi Defeng looked at Chen Fei with a puzzled expression..
