"When the alliance releases the mission, you should already know that we will conduct an assessment, and only those who pass the assessment can actually take on the mission."
In the Zhao family's mansion in Xianyun City, the housekeeper of the Zhao family looked at the dozen or so alchemists below and said with a smile on his face.
"Let's start the assessment. If we can't take on this mission in the end, we might as well go back early." An old alchemist whispered, and others agreed.
Most alchemists accept this task because the task is simple, the reward is rich enough, and it is not troublesome. In terms of mentality, it is natural to win quickly.
"Everyone, please come over here."
The housekeeper of the Zhao family did not dare to neglect these alchemists and invited them all to a courtyard. There are more than a dozen alchemy furnaces neatly placed here, and all kinds of medicinal materials are also available.
"The assessment is very simple. It also involves refining the beauty elixir. In the end, whoever has the best appearance and efficacy of the beauty elixir will get this task." The steward said solemnly.
None of the alchemists present had any objections. It is not troublesome to refine a furnace of beauty elixirs, and since everything is ready here, it would be even simpler.
Chen Fei found a place in the crowd, lit a fire and set up a stove, then checked the medicinal materials nearby and found no problems, and threw them all into the alchemy furnace.
The refining techniques of the alchemists present were also quite casual. Although they were not as rough as Chen Fei's, they were not far behind.
Within a moment, the fragrance of medicine filled the courtyard. Within a quarter of an hour, Chen Fei opened the stove lid and took out the beauty elixir. The servants of the Zhao family hurried forward, carefully took away the elixir, and sent it to another courtyard.
The beauty pills refined by the alchemists were released one after another, and they were all sent to another place.
Everyone waited patiently for the results, but after a moment, the butler appeared in the courtyard.
"Thanks everyone, this mission will finally be taken over by Master Chen."
The housekeeper of the Zhao family showed a hint of apology to the other alchemists and clapped his hands. The servants of the Zhao family gave each alchemist a gift box. The contents of the gift box are not expensive, but the faces of some alchemists look much better.
After a while, Chen Fei followed the housekeeper to another courtyard, where the sounds of Yingying Yanyan could be heard.
"Senior sister, you haven't been here for a while. If it weren't for the beauty pill today, would you still not come to see me?" Zhao Peixiu said a little unhappy.
"I came because I missed you. What does it have to do with the beauty pill? If you say that, then I will leave."
"Okay, okay, just think I made a mistake and don't leave. I still have a lot to say to you."
Zhao Peixiu quickly persuaded her to stay. Just as he was about to continue talking, he saw the housekeeper walking in with a stranger.
"Miss, Alchemist Chen is here." The housekeeper stepped forward and said with a flattering smile.
"Then let's get started. I want the elixir to be eaten when it's just come out of the oven. I heard it's the best way to do it." Zhao Peixiu glanced at Chen Fei and urged the steward on the side.
Chen Fei glanced at Zhao Peixiu and the two. They were dignified and beautiful. Even sitting down, he could see that both of them had excellent figures.
After just a glance, Chen Fei lowered his head and stopped looking. But Chen Fei's nose moved unconsciously, and a very weak smell of medicine floated into his nasal cavity.
After becoming an alchemist, Chen Fei became much more sensitive to various smells, which is a professional characteristic. The smell I smell now is an extremely high-quality trauma medicine.
Chen Fei didn't think much about it. Someone was injured and needed trauma medicine, and it had nothing to do with him.
"Is this the fifty-year-old medicinal plant? It's quite rare."
"Yes, I got it by chance. My father also wanted to use it to refine other elixirs, but I begged for a long time before he agreed to let me use it to refine beauty elixirs." Zhao Peixiu said proudly.
"I did take advantage of you."
"Sister and I have nothing to be polite about. As long as you come to me often, I will be extremely happy." Zhao Peixiu said with a smile.
Chen Fei listened to the conversation at his two daughters' home and closed his eyes to rest. After all the medicinal materials were in front of him, Chen Fei opened his eyes and began to refine the beauty pill.
Zhao Peixiu watched Chen Fei refining the elixir curiously, but immediately turned her head boredly. The refining of the elixir was completely different from what she had imagined, and it was very boring.
Chen Fei looked at the alchemy furnace, feeling the changes in the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials in the furnace, and adjusted it from time to time.
Compared with ordinary beauty elixirs, the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials have changed a lot in fifty years. If you are not careful, the refining may really fail.
Fortunately, Chen Fei was very familiar with the beauty pill, so even if the properties of the medicine changed dramatically, it was still under Chen Fei's control.
The aroma of the medicine began to fill the courtyard. It took two quarters of an hour. As Chen Fei slapped off the furnace lid, the furnace of expensive beauty elixir was officially completed.
"Okay? Senior sister, come over and take a look together."
When Zhao Peixiu saw Chen Fei taking out the elixir, he couldn't wait to lead him to Chen Fei.
The scent of medicine was permeating the air, but suddenly two wisps of a woman's faint body fragrance broke into the room. Chen Fei took a sip subconsciously and his brows wavered slightly. Why did it feel a bit familiar?
"Miss, the elixir has just been released. It's best to wait for a while before taking it."
When the butler saw that Zhao Peixiu wanted to take it immediately, he quickly stepped forward to dissuade him. Otherwise, Zhao Peixiu might get burned later, and his position as a butler would probably be over.
"knew."
Zhao Peixiu looked at the three beauty pills in the plate with a smile on her face. When there is one left, she can give it to her mother.
"Thank you for your hard work, Master Chen. Please come with me."
When the housekeeper saw the smile on Zhao Peixiu's face, he knew that he was extremely satisfied. He slightly arched his hands to Chen Fei and led Chen Fei out of the courtyard. After all, this is Miss Zhao’s courtyard, so it’s better for outsiders to treat her less.
"Sister, what are you looking at that alchemist for?" Zhao Peixiu asked strangely.
"It's nothing, I just think his refining level is very high. If you need anything in the future, you can contact him."
"It's pretty good. I thought there would be two at most, but I didn't expect there was one more. It's really good." Zhao Peixiu laughed softly.
Yawenba
"Butler, stay here." Chen Fei took the thank you gift from the butler and said at the gate.
"Thanks to Master Chen this time, I will have someone go to the alliance later to complete this mission." The butler said with a smile.
"Thank you!"
"I should be the one thanking you."
After a business exchange, Chen Fei left the Zhao family's residence and returned to the rented courtyard.
Along the way, Chen Fei frowned. He always felt that the woman he saw just now in the Zhao family's residence seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he met her.
"You're back. Did the mission go well?" Chi Defeng couldn't help but expressed concern when he saw Chen Fei frowning.
"Well, it's done." Chen Fei nodded.
"Then why do you look so worried?" Chi Defeng asked strangely. The task has been completed, why are you still like this?
"I just saw a person in the Zhao family's residence. I feel familiar, but I have never seen that face before."
This is what puzzled Chen Fei the most. If he had met him once, he would not forget him, especially the familiar body fragrance. Regarding Chi Defeng, Chen Fei had nothing to hide and told all his doubts.
"The taste is familiar to you, so your impression is too deep." Chi Defeng couldn't help but laugh.
"Yeah, I'm very impressed..."
Chen Fei's words suddenly stopped, as if a bolt of lightning flashed through Chen Fei's mind. Chen Fei finally remembered where he had smelled that smell. Wasn't it the witch he met on the mountain that night?
Because the distance between the two parties was very close at that time and the situation was tense, Chen Fei was very impressed by Shi Xuaqin's taste.
The reason why I couldn't remember it just now was because Shi Xueqin's appearance had changed. It was completely different from what he saw that night.
At the same time, Chen Fei knew why he was so worried about the person just now. Because of the smell of the golden sore medicine, Chen Fei subconsciously connected these things together, but he was stuck for a moment and did not react immediately.
But what made Chen Fei still puzzled was that when he saw Shi Xueqin that night, Chen Fei was very sure that what he saw was Shi Xueqin's true appearance.
Whenever Shi Xueqin changes her appearance, Chen Fei can tell. Chen Fei still has this kind of confidence. But unfortunately, when he saw Shi Xueqin again today, not only had his appearance changed, but Chen Fei still didn't see any trace of disguise.
"In this world, besides the art of disguise, is there any other way to change your appearance?" Chen Fei raised his head and looked at Chi Defeng. In terms of experience in the world, Chi Defeng did have much more experience than Chen Fei.
"Yes, and there are many methods." Chi Defeng nodded.
"Who are the ones who can't see the traces of disguise?" Chen Fei asked.
"So that you can't even see the traces of disguise?"
Chi Defeng's brows wrinkled slightly. He knew that Chen Fei's disguise skills were so superb that even Chen Fei couldn't see it. There were so many ways to change his appearance that there were very few that could be used. Not much.
"Yes, I can't even tell." Chen Fei nodded.
"There is one that should match what you said."
Chi Defeng pondered for a moment and said: "Human skin mask! The refining method is unknown, and the wearing method is almost top secret, but as long as it is used properly, it will completely change its appearance."
"Human skin mask?"
Chen Fei thought of Shi Xueqin's flawless appearance, and estimated that only this kind of thing could be achieved. If it weren't for the smell of the golden sore medicine and the slight body fragrance, Chen Fei wouldn't have been able to detect that something was wrong.
No wonder the Shenyan Sect cannot be completely eradicated despite repeated efforts. This enemy is completely hidden among the masses, even among the established families in Xianyun City. It is indeed extremely difficult to find it with ordinary methods.
Chen Fei thought that there should be nothing wrong with his performance in the Zhao family. The main reason was that when he faced Shi Xueqin, he used a fake appearance and a different body shape, so the possibility of being discovered was extremely low.
It is best to inform the sect immediately about this matter, but now that he has just returned from the Zhao family, he rushes back to the sect immediately. If Shi Xueqin is serious, it may be a bit dangerous. To be cautious, he can wait a day before returning to the sect.
People cannot go back, but messages can go back first. Chen Fei wrote the message and released the carrier pigeon.
"By the way, I haven't heard the sound of children playing next door in the past two days. Have they moved?" Chen Fei asked casually, suppressing the restlessness in his heart.
"Child? When did a child live in the courtyard next door?" Chi Defeng looked at Chen Fei with confusion on his face.
