CHAPTER 919: CHAPTER 919: RAISING STATUS LEVEL

Zhu Fei understood very well that if he relied on normal means, even if he earned money through alchemy, it would be impossible to earn one billion low-grade Immortal Crystals in just a month.

The amount was simply too large; theoretically, there was no possibility of achieving it.

Given the situation, perhaps he had only one option...

Zhu Fei’s eyes flickered slightly, but a decision had already been made in his heart at that moment.

At this, he raised his hand with a smile, cupped his fist toward Hong Jizi, and said, "Brother Hong, thank you for telling me these things. How about we split these four million Immortal Crystals evenly?"

Hong Jizi’s expression immediately turned stern, pretending to be displeased as he said, "Brother Zhu, what do you mean by that? I just said I would help your friend get justice. There’s no need to mention this matter again."

Feeling the resoluteness of Hong Jizi’s attitude, Zhu Fei did not insist further. Instead, he nodded with a smile and said:

"In that case, thank you very much, Brother Hong. By the way, Brother Hong, Tianxing and I have something to do later. If you don’t have any other matters, we will take our leave for now."

"Alright then. I also have some things to take care of later, so I won’t keep you. If you have time in the future, feel free to come and visit me. Here, take my Communication Pearl."

Hong Jizi nodded and took out a Communication Pearl from his body, handing it directly to Zhu Fei.

Zhu Fei also took out a Communication Pearl from his person and handed it to Hong Jizi. Then he left the Pill Conference branch together with Chen Tianxing.

"Zhu Fei, where are we going now? Are we going back first, or...?"

Just as they walked out of the Pill Conference branch’s main door, Chen Tianxing glanced at Zhu Fei and asked.

"Let’s go to the Task Hall first to upgrade our identity levels. By the way, Tianxing, this is for you."

As he spoke, Zhu Fei handed a ring containing two million Immortal Crystals to Chen Tianxing.

Chen Tianxing was startled and quickly shook his head, saying, "No, Zhu Fei, I can’t accept this. You should keep it yourself..."

Before Chen Tianxing could continue speaking, Zhu Fei already forced the ring into Chen Tianxing’s hand, then said:

"Tianxing, in theory, I should give you all these Immortal Crystals this time, but I will temporarily take advantage of you a little by keeping them."

Zhu Fei’s eyes flickered with a hint of coldness, and he said:

"Rest assured, we won’t just let this matter rest. If there is a chance, I will certainly help you get justice again."

Hearing Zhu Fei’s words, Chen Tianxing couldn’t help but feel a warmth in his heart and smiled, shaking his head:

"Zhu Fei, it’s alright. In fact, I’m already very satisfied with today’s developments. Thank you. Besides, if you need Immortal Crystals now, take them all. No need to be polite with me."

"Hehe, two million should be enough. You keep the rest for yourself."

Zhu Fei smiled and did not dwell further on the previous topic.

He took Chen Tianxing with him and, after avoiding a few hidden spies from the Mad Demon Gang, went directly to the Task Hall.

Upgrading their identity levels went smoothly as soon as Zhu Fei took out his Pill Master’s badge; specially assigned personnel handled this matter for him and Chen Tianxing.

According to the regulations, with Zhu Fei’s current status, he could help one person beside him upgrade from a black token to a white token.

In just a moment, a silver jade token and a white jade token were in the hands of Zhu Fei and Chen Tianxing, respectively.

As Zhu Fei and Chen Tianxing just put away their identity tokens, the steward who was responsible for handling the matter smiled at Zhu Fei and said:

"This Pill Master, there will be a large-scale auction held about a month later in the West City Market. If you’re interested, you can participate with this token."

As he spoke, the steward took out an invitation-like item from himself and handed it to Zhu Fei with a smile.

Zhu Fei took the item the steward handed over and glanced at it, noticing the seven characters for "West City Large-Scale Auction" glaring back at him.

Moreover, Zhu Fei discovered that with his current silver token status, he could bring an additional friend along.

At this, Zhu Fei put away the invitation, nodded at the steward with a smile, and said, "Indeed, thank you, friend, for the reminder. I’ve noted this. Let this Star Origin Pill be my gift of thanks."

Saying that, Zhu Fei tossed a Jade Bottle containing a Star Origin Pill to the steward, then left the Task Hall with Chen Tianxing, heading toward their original Yue Dan Pill Shop.

The stewards of the Task Hall were not like those at the Pill Conference branch; whether in terms of strength or identity, they couldn’t be compared.

Take the present steward, for instance, who was only at the True Immortal Peak cultivation level with a white-token identity.

Thus, when he saw what Zhu Fei gave was truly a Star Origin Pill, he was overjoyed, showing a slightly excited expression on his face.

...

"Zhu... Alchemist Zhu, you’re finally back. I heard that the Mad Demon Gang has been looking for you recently. Are you... okay now?"

As soon as Zhu Fei and Chen Tianxing returned to their original Yue Dan Pill Shop, Fatty Pang immediately appeared in front of them, asking with genuine concern.

Zhu Fei could tell that Fatty Pang’s concern was genuine, and he smiled as he nodded:

"Brother Pang, don’t worry, I’m fine. Look, what is this?"

As he spoke, Zhu Fei took out a Pill Master badge from himself and handed it to Pang Yuan.

"This... This is the Second Grade Immortal Alchemist badge, Zhu... Brother Zhu, you’re already a Second Grade Immortal Alchemist now?"

Clearly, upon seeing what Zhu Fei took out, Pang Yuan showed a shocked expression.

However, soon, his face of shock was replaced by joy, and he said:

"That’s great! This way, even if the Mad Demon Gang wants to target you, it won’t be so easy. Congratulations, Brother Zhu! Second Grade Immortal Alchemist, amazing..."

Seeing Pang Yuan’s expression of admiration, Zhu Fei felt speechless inside.

In his view, being a Second Grade Immortal Alchemist was nothing special, but Pang Yuan’s sincere concern warmed Zhu Fei’s heart.

Zhu Fei intentionally coughed twice, and once Pang Yuan’s attention returned to him, he smiled and said:

"By the way, Brother Pang, didn’t you ask me to refine a Heavenly Pill for you before? If you trust me now, why not give me the materials?"
