Chapter 1823: Chapter 1823: In the Spotlight

The pill seeker received five royal-grade superior Creation Pills, thanked Fang Bai profusely, and then left joyfully amidst envious gazes.

“Pill Master, I also want to refine royal-grade superior Creation Pills!”

“I wonder if the Pill Master can refine royal-grade superior Gathering Yuan Pills?”

“I’d like to ask the Pill Master to refine a few royal-grade superior Gathering Spirit Pills, willing to pay double the usual reward!”

“Please, Pill Master, help refine royal-grade superior Wood Element Pills!”

“My brother’s Qi Sea is destroyed, we beg the Pill Master to refine a royal-grade superior Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill to save him!”

…

After the first pill seeker left, the crowd of strong Martial Artists suddenly seemed to explode, swarming forward around Fang Bai’s stall, clamoring for Fang Bai’s help in alchemy.

There were even two strong individuals glaring at each other and swearing over getting the best spot.

If it weren’t for the rules of the Martial Artists Trading Market, they might have already started a fight.

“Succeeded! Today, Fang Bai’s name will surely spread across Alchemy Immortal City!”

Seeing the excited faces and enthusiastic crowds, Hu Yichen clenched his fists, his heart bubbling with excitement.

Not only can Fang Bai refine royal-grade superior Spirit Pills, but he also holds such high efficiency. As one tells ten, ten tells a hundred, he will certainly attract more pill seekers in a short time.

Perhaps it won’t be long before the City Lord Mansion sends someone to meet Fang Bai.

The City Lord Mansion would try to recruit any alchemist appearing in Alchemy Immortal City, inviting them to join the City Lord Mansion’s Alchemist Team.

If the alchemist agrees, they can live in the accommodations provided by the City Lord Mansion, enjoying various generous benefits.

If an alchemist prefers not to join the City Lord Mansion and chooses instead to lease a stall in the Martial Artists Trading Market to practice alchemy, the City Lord Mansion won’t push them and will provide various favors and support.

This is why the City Lord Mansion is very popular in Alchemy Immortal City; its dominant position is unshakable.

Fang Bai’s high-profile alchemy aims to enter the City Lord Mansion; when its people come to recruit him, he will readily agree and take up residence there.

Regarding Hu Yichen, he’ll be Fang Bai’s assistant and enter the City Lord Mansion alongside him.

The disciples of the Divine Eagle Sect wouldn’t dare to barge into the City Lord Mansion to seize anyone, so once Hu Yichen enters the City Lord Mansion, he doesn’t need to worry about safety for the time being.

Once Fang Bai demonstrates more alchemy capabilities and gains some influence in the City Lord Mansion, they can invite the Alchemy Immortal to mediate the grudges between Hu Yichen and the Divine Eagle Sect.

Fang Bai and Hu Yichen had planned this in advance, and Hu Yichen was deeply grateful for Fang Bai’s painstaking efforts in helping him.

Actually, Hu Yichen was unaware that even without his issue, Fang Bai would deliberately get closer to the City Lord Mansion, leveraging its vast network to search for Tang Wenrou, Dragon Maiden, and others.

Helping Hu Yichen was merely a convenience for Fang Bai.

Under Fang Bai’s direction, Hu Yichen took on a few more deals, and Fang Bai continued to open the furnace and practice alchemy.

In the next few hours, Fang Bai sent out a bottle of Spirit Pills every two hours or so, and most were five pills per bottle, occasionally more by one or two, but never less.

In the eyes of the strong on-site, an alchemist like Fang Bai, stable and efficient, is undoubtedly considered one of the top alchemists in Alchemy Immortal City, almost able to rival Hua Yanqing—the current City Lord, known as the “Alchemy Immortal.”

Thus, the crowd’s gaze toward Fang Bai had not only respect but also reverence.

The Green Rainbow Sect disciple tracking Fang Bai had quietly left without anyone noticing.

An alchemist capable of refining royal-grade superior Spirit Pills is rare in the vast Three Thousand Worlds, and those as stable and efficient as Fang Bai are even scarcer.

The Green Rainbow Sect disciple reckoned that if the sect recruited him, they’d be greatly strengthened, so he prepared to inform several high-ranking sect members immediately.

He thought that if Junior Sister Tong knew this person was so outstanding, she’d likely be unable to contain her excitement and might personally come to entice him, or even seduce him, into joining the sect.

“Senior Brother Feng Zihua is infatuated with Junior Sister Tong; it’s known that they’ve even cultivated together as one. If he enters the Green Rainbow Sect, what will become of Senior Brother Feng? Poor Senior Brother Feng; it seems there’ll be a green shade over his head…”

The Green Rainbow Sect disciple couldn’t help but feel for Senior Brother Feng during his return to his residence.

As Hu Yichen expected, overnight, Fang Bai became the most sensational celebrity in Alchemy Immortal City.

Almost all strong individuals knew that a remarkable, astonishing alchemist had arrived at the central Martial Artists Trading Market in Alchemy Immortal City.

The alchemist never failed in his alchemy, managing to refine at least five royal-grade superior Spirit Pills each time.

Such superior alchemy techniques even eluded Hua Yanqing, the City Lord renowned as the “Alchemy Immortal!”

Though the alchemist was only a third-level Heavenly Tribulation powerhouse, his youth made people envious, and almost everyone believed that someday, he’d surpass Hua Yanqing in strength and become the first in Alchemy Immortal City.

The next morning, in front of Fang Bai’s stall, thousands of strong individuals lined up, waiting to request Fang Bai to refine Spirit Pills.

Such a flood of business was expected by Fang Bai and Hu Yichen.

However, to Fang Bai and Hu Yichen’s surprise, no one from the City Lord Mansion arrived, but a large group of Green Rainbow Sect disciples did.

Among them was Tong Mengjiao, a core disciple of the Green Rainbow Sect, whom Fang Bai had previously seen on the street, possessing a fourth-level Heavenly Tribulation cultivation level.

“Hey there, we’re meeting again; what a coincidence!”

Tong Mengjiao greeted Fang Bai with a charming smile, her voice sweet as honey, full of seductive charm in her brows and eyes.

“Truly a woman exuding allure to the bone!”

Many strong individuals on-site couldn’t help but be captivated by the beauty of Tong Mengjiao, their eyes brightening, some throats swallowing with difficulty, unable to look away.

Tong Mengjiao’s appearance instantly made her the center of attention, and her cordial greeting with Fang Bai incited envy among many.

“Brother Fang, do you know this woman?”

Hu Yichen used the Voice Transmission Technique with Fang Bai, his face puzzled.

Tong Mengjiao’s fame was widespread, and Alchemy Immortal City was a hub of information; Hu Yichen naturally heard of her reputation and felt her character didn’t match Fang Bai’s.

“We only met once in Alchemy Immortal City, but this woman seems quite interested in me…”

Fang Bai shrugged, speaking with a look of helplessness.

Hu Yichen spoke earnestly, “This woman’s character is dubious, not a good match. Brother Fang must not be charmed by her and disturb your cultivation.”

Fang Bai laughed, “Hu brother needn’t worry! Even if this woman were a hundred times, a thousand times more beautiful, I wouldn’t fancy her!”

Hu Yichen breathed a sigh of relief, “Then I’m reassured.”

Their conversation occurred through the Thread Condensation Sound Transmission Technique; otherwise, should Tong Mengjiao hear, she would surely be infuriated.
