Chapter 94 Creepy
"When the alliance released the mission, you should have known that we will conduct an assessment, and only those who pass the assessment can actually accept this 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 accept this task in the end, we'd better go back early." An old alchemist whispered, and the others responded one after another.
Most alchemists took on this task because the task was simple, the reward was rich enough, and it was not troublesome. In terms of mentality, it is natural to make a quick decision.
"Everyone, please come here."
The housekeeper of the Zhao family did not dare to neglect these alchemists, and invited them all to a courtyard. More than a dozen alchemy furnaces have been placed neatly here, and medicinal materials and the like are also readily available.
"The assessment is very simple. It is also refining the beauty pill. In the end, whoever has the best quality and efficacy of the beauty pill will have this task." The housekeeper said in a deep voice.
None of the alchemists present had any objections. It is not troublesome to refine a batch of beauty pills, and since everything is prepared here, it is even easier.
Chen Fei found a place in the crowd, raised the fire to set up the stove, and then checked the medicinal materials next to him, found nothing wrong, and threw them all into the pill stove.
The refining techniques of the alchemists present were quite casual, although not as rough as Chen Fei, but not far behind.
Within a short while, the courtyard was filled with the fragrance of medicine, and within a quarter of an hour, Chen Fei slammed open the furnace cover and took out the beauty pills. The Zhao family's servant hurried forward, carefully took away the pill, and sent it to another courtyard.
The beauty pills refined by alchemists were released one after another, and they were all sent to another place.
Everyone waited patiently for the result, but after a while, the butler appeared in the courtyard.
"Thank you for your hard work, this task will finally be accepted by this Alchemist Chen."
The steward of the Zhao family showed a little apology to the other alchemists, and clapped his hands, and the servants of the Zhao family sent a gift box to each alchemist. The things in the gift box are not expensive, but the faces of some alchemists look much better.
A while later, Chen Fei followed the housekeeper to another courtyard, and Yingying Yanyan's voice came from inside.
"Sister, you haven't come for a while. If it wasn't for the beauty pill today, wouldn't you still not come to see me?" Zhao Peixiu said a little unhappy.
"I came here because I wanted you. What does it have to do with Yangyan Pill? If you want to say that, then I will leave."
"Okay, okay, just think I'm wrong, don't go, I still have a lot to say to you."
Zhao Peixiu hurriedly persuaded him to stay, and just as he was about to continue talking, he saw the butler walking in with a stranger.
"Miss, Alchemist Chen is here." The butler stepped forward and said with a flattering smile.
"Then let's start. I want to eat the elixir as soon as it is out of the oven. I heard that it works best." Zhao Peixiu glanced at Chen Fei and urged the housekeeper beside him.
Chen Fei took a look at Zhao Peixiu and the two, dignified and beautiful, even if they were sitting, it could be seen that both of them had excellent figures.
After just a glance, Chen Fei lowered his head and stopped looking. It's just that Chen Fei's nose moved unconsciously, and a very faint smell of wound medicine floated into his nasal cavity.
After becoming an alchemist, Chen Fei became much more sensitive to various tastes, which is a professional characteristic. The smell that I smell at this moment is an extremely high-quality wound medicine.
Chen Fei didn't think too much about it, it had nothing to do with him if someone was injured and used trauma medicine.
"Is this the 50-year-old medicinal plant? It's quite rare."
"Yes, I also got it by accident. My father also wanted to use it to refine other elixirs, and I begged for a long time before agreeing to let me use it to refine beauty elixirs." Zhao Peixiu said proudly.
"I took advantage of you."
"My sister and I are so polite, as long as you come to me often, I will be very happy." Zhao Peixiu smiled.
Chen Fei listened to the conversation at the two daughters' homes, closed his eyes and meditated. When all the medicinal materials were brought in front of him, Chen Fei opened his eyes and began to refine this pot of beauty pills.
Zhao Peixiu watched Chen Fei refining the elixir curiously, but immediately turned her head bored, the refining elixir was completely different from what she imagined, 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 the ordinary beauty pill, the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials have changed a lot in fifty years. If you are not careful, it may really fail to refine.
Fortunately, Chen Fei is too familiar with the Nourishing Pill, even if the properties of the medicine change drastically, it is still under Chen Fei's control.
The medicinal fragrance began to permeate the courtyard, and it took two quarters of an hour. After Chen Fei took off the furnace cover, the furnace of expensive beauty pills was officially refined.
"Okay? Senior sister, come and have a look together."
Zhao Peixiu saw Chen Fei take out the elixir, and couldn't wait to pull the person up to Chen Fei.
It was the scent of medicine that permeated the air, but suddenly two wisps of woman's body fragrance broke in. Chen Fei sucked it subconsciously, his brows fluctuated slightly, why does it feel a little familiar?
"Miss, the elixir has just come out of the oven, it's best to wait for a while before taking it."
Seeing that Zhao Peixiu wanted to take it immediately, the steward stepped forward to dissuade him. Otherwise, Zhao Peixiu might get burned later, and his position as a housekeeper might be exhausted.
"understood."
Zhao Peixiu looked at the three beauty pills on the plate with a smile on her face. If there is one left, she can give it to her mother.
"Master Chen has worked hard, please follow me."
Seeing the smile on Zhao Peixiu's face, the housekeeper knew that she was extremely satisfied, and slightly cupped his hands at Chen Fei, leading Chen Fei out of the courtyard. After all, it's Miss Zhao's courtyard, so it's better for outsiders to stay as little as possible.
"Sister, what are you doing looking at that alchemist?" 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 also find him."
"It's not bad. I thought there were at most two out of the oven, but I didn't expect that there was one more. That's great." Zhao Peixiu laughed softly.
"The butler stay here." Chen Fei held the thank you gift from the butler, and cupped his hands at the gate.
"Thanks to Alchemy Chen this time, I will send someone to the alliance later to complete this task." The housekeeper smiled.
"Thank you!"
"I should be the one thanking you."
After a business exchange, Chen Fei left Zhao's mansion and returned to the rented courtyard.
Along the way, Chen Fei frowned. She always felt that the woman she saw in Zhao's mansion just now seemed familiar, but she just couldn't remember where she met her.
"I'm back, did the task go well?" Seeing Chen Fei's frown, Chi Defeng couldn't help but be concerned.
"Well, it's done." Chen Fei nodded.
"Then why do you look so preoccupied?" Chi Defeng asked strangely, the task has been completed, why are you still like this.
"I saw a person in Zhao's mansion just now, and I always feel familiar, but I have never seen that face before."
This is what confuses Chen Fei the most. If you meet him once, you shouldn't forget him, especially the familiar body fragrance. Regarding Chi Defeng, Chen Fei had nothing to hide, so he expressed all his doubts.
"The taste can make you familiar, your impression is too deep." Chi Defeng couldn't help laughing.
"Yeah, I'm very impressed..."
Chen Fei's words stopped suddenly, as if a lightning flashed across Chen Fei's mind. Chen Fei finally remembered where he smelled that smell, wasn't it the witch that he met on the mountain that night!
Because the distance between the two sides was extremely close and the situation was tense, Chen Fei was very impressed with Shi Xueqin's taste.
I couldn't remember just now, because Shi Xueqin's appearance had changed, and it was completely different from what I saw that night.
At the same time, Chen Fei knew why he was so worried about the person just now, because the smell of golden sore medicine subconsciously made Chen Fei connect these things together, but he was stuck for a while and didn't 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 should be Shi Xueqin's true face.
But Chen Fei can see that Shi Xueqin has changed his face. Chen Fei still has this confidence. However, when I saw Shi Xueqin again today, not only did his appearance change, but Chen Fei still didn't see any signs of disguise.
"Are there any other ways in this world besides disguise to change appearance?" Chen Fei raised his head to look at Chi Defeng. In terms of Jianghu experience, Chi Defeng is indeed much richer than Chen Fei.
"Yes, and there are many ways." Chi Defeng nodded.
"Which ones don't show signs of disguise?" Chen Fei asked.
"Does it make you see no trace of disguise?"
Chi Defeng frowned slightly. He knew the superb level of Chen Fei's disguise technique, which made Chen Fei unable to see it. The method of changing appearance was very short, and there were only a few that could be used. Not much.
"Yes, I can't even see it." Chen Fei nodded and said.
"There is one, it 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, probably only this kind of thing could do it. If it wasn't for the smell of the golden sore medicine and the faint scent of body fragrance, Chen Fei would not be able to detect the problem.
It's no wonder that the Shenyan faction has been eradicated, but they can't be completely eradicated. This enemy is completely hidden among the masses, even the old aristocratic families in Xianyun City. It is indeed extremely difficult to find out by ordinary means.
Chen Fei thought about his performance in the Zhao family, there should be nothing wrong with it. The main reason is that when facing Shi Xueqin back then, he used a fake appearance and a different body shape, so the possibility of being discovered was extremely low.
It is best to notify the sect about this matter immediately, but now that he has just returned from Zhao's house, he will rush back to the sect immediately. If Shi Xueqin is determined, it may be a little dangerous. To be cautious, you 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 pigeon.
"By the way, I haven't heard the sound of children playing next door for the past two days. Have they moved?" Suppressing the restlessness in his heart, Chen Fei asked casually.
"Child? When did the next courtyard have a child?" Chi Defeng looked at Chen Fei with doubts on his face.
