Chapter 1490: Chapter 1490: Fame Achieved in One Fell Swoop

The dozen or so alchemists and artifact refiners nearby were dumbfounded upon hearing the conversation between the female disciples of the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion, such as Han Feng’er, and Fang Bai.

They never expected that from the beginning, these female disciples of the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion had specifically come for Fang Bai, leaving them feeling pleased for no reason.

Moreover, from the conversation between Fang Bai and the female disciple of the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion, they learned that Fang Bai had successfully refined spirit pills for the disciple, who then brought business over to him in return.

It seemed that this person named Fang Bai indeed had some real skills and shouldn’t be underestimated!

"Hope that guy fails at both alchemy and artifact refining, tarnishes his reputation, and leaves in shame!"

The dozen or so alchemists and artifact refiners looked towards Fang Bai’s stall, secretly cursing in their hearts.

They knew that if Fang Bai succeeded in alchemy and artifact refining this time, the female disciples of the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion would spread the word about him, and more disciples would come to seek him out.

If martial artists in Flaming Sun City were to learn that many Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion disciples sought Fang Bai’s services in alchemy and artifact refining, they would surely flock to him, causing a sensational effect.

By then, Fang Bai would rise to fame, and it would be difficult for his business not to thrive.

Consequently, they, the veteran alchemists and artifact refiners, would be overshadowed by Fang Bai, and their business would inevitably be affected.

"Whatever spirit pills you need refined or spiritual artifacts upgraded, just hand over the alchemy ingredients and artifact materials to him and let him know. He will also tell you how many sets of ingredients and materials are needed for refining a furnace of spirit pills or upgrading a spiritual artifact!"

Fang Bai pointed to Han Xiangtian, who stood with his back straight, then turned and headed towards the stone house designated for alchemy and artifact refining.

"Senior Fang, may I ask a presumptuous question: Han Feng’er said that whether it’s alchemy or artifact refining, you can complete it in just two hours. Is that true?"

Senior Sister Liu watched Fang Bai’s retreating figure and asked without thinking.

Typically, whether an alchemist or an artifact refiner, it would take at least three to five days to refine a furnace of spirit pills or a spiritual artifact. Yet, Han Feng’er told them that this Senior Fang could complete alchemy and artifact refining in an extremely short time, just two hours.

This greatly overturned Senior Sister Liu and the others’ understanding of alchemists and artifact refiners, making them think Han Feng’er’s words seemed exaggerated and impossible.

The reason Senior Sister Liu wanted to inquire with Fang Bai was that if Senior Fang required several days for alchemy or artifact refining, they would leave the ingredients and materials there, find a fellow disciple to watch over them, and others would leave first. They would return to collect them when the refining was almost done.

But if it only needed a few hours, they could wait there with peace of mind.

"Whether I succeed or not in alchemy and artifact refining, there will be results within two hours! Just wait patiently!"

Fang Bai entered the stone room without turning back, and the door closed by itself. His voice, however, clearly reached the ears of Senior Sister Liu and the others.

"In that case, I shall wait here."

Senior Sister Liu received a clear response from Fang Bai. Knowing Fang Bai wouldn’t lie, she was delighted, walked over to Han Xiangtian, and whispered, "I am Liu Yinghong, seeking Senior Fang’s service to refine a bottle of Holy Grade middle-tier Creation Pills. How much material do you need?"

"Please wait a moment."

Facing the direction of the stone room, Han Xiangtian’s ears twitched, seemingly listening for something. After several breaths, he turned to Liu Yinghong and said, "Senior Fang said that two sets of materials will suffice!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yinghong’s heart leaped, and she became excited.

To refine a bottle of spirit pills with just two sets of materials implied that Fang Bai’s pill refining success rate was at least fifty percent.

Liu Yinghong had heard that, although there were many alchemists in the Spirit Martial Realm, those who could achieve a fifty percent success rate were few and far between. Only the top-tier alchemists could do it.

In the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion, although Elder Yang Dong claimed to be the number one alchemist, he had at most a thirty percent success rate, typically just over twenty percent.

Therefore, others looking to Elder Yang for alchemy would at least need to prepare at least four sets of materials.

Liu Yinghong originally wanted to ask Elder Yang from her pavilion to help her refine spirit pills, but recently, Elder Yang’s Soul Lamp suddenly went out, causing Pavilion Master Mu Enze to be extremely furious. The tens of thousands of disciples in the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion were in a state of panic, and the other alchemists had no heart for refining pills.

Liu Yinghong was at a crucial point in breaking through her barrier for promotion and urgently needed Creation Pills for assistance. So, under Han Feng’er’s "encouragement," she came to Fang Bai seeking help.

Liu Yinghong had prepared four sets of materials, hoping to trade them for a bottle of Holy Grade middle-tier Creation Pills, but she hadn’t expected Fang Bai to only need two sets.

Liu Yinghong had already decided that if Fang Bai could refine a bottle of Creation Pills with two sets of materials, she would hand over the other two sets to him to continue refining spirit pills and then go back to the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion to promote him greatly, to attract business for him.

Not just Liu Yinghong, but several other female disciples from the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion also had similar thoughts.

Who wouldn’t want to form a good relationship with such a young and handsome powerhouse with bright prospects in Martial Dao, who is both an alchemist and an artifact refiner?

Han Xiangtian delivered Liu Yinghong’s two sets of materials into the stone room where Fang Bai was and then stood guard outside like a guardian deity.

Liu Yinghong stood in front of the stall, hands clasped, lips moving slightly as if praying for something, occasionally glancing at the stone room with a few traces of nervousness and expectation in her eyes.

Although alchemists and artifact refiners would isolate the stone room with spiritual energy to prevent disturbances from the outside during refining, the few female disciples from the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion present still dared not make a sound.

For them, whether Liu Yinghong’s spirit pill was successfully refined was a test of Fang Bai’s alchemical ability.

If Fang Bai could refine a bottle of Creation Pills with those two sets of materials within two hours, then they could completely trust him with their own alchemy ingredients or artifact materials.

"Senior Fang, I have created this opportunity for you. It’s up to you now! Whether you become famous depends on this!"

Han Feng’er silently watched the stone room, thinking to herself.

Two hours later, Han Xiangtian, standing guard outside the stone room, twitched his ears slightly; his face revealed surprise and joy. He turned around, carefully opened the door to the stone room, and walked in.

"He really only took two hours. I wonder if Senior Fang was successful."

Liu Yinghong became excited as she watched Han Xiangtian enter the stone room, her heart pounding.

Several breaths later, Han Xiangtian came out of the stone room with a jade bottle, offered it to Liu Yinghong with a smile, and said, "Congratulations, Miss Liu. Senior Fang refined a Holy Grade middle-tier Creation Pill with one set of materials for you, leaving the other set as his alchemical refining fee. Please inspect them on-site to see if there are any errors."
