Chapter 93 Creepy

"When the alliance issued the task, you should have known that we would conduct an assessment. Only those who passed the assessment could actually accept the task."

In the Zhao family mansion in Xianyun City, the Zhao family steward looked at the dozen or so alchemists below with a smile on his face.

"Let's start the assessment. If we can't accept the task in the end, we can go back early." An old alchemist whispered, and the others responded.

Most of the alchemists took this task because the task was simple, the reward was rich enough, and it was not troublesome. In terms of mentality, they naturally wanted to fight quickly and make a quick decision.

"Everyone, please come here."

The Zhao family steward did not dare to neglect these alchemists and invited them all to a courtyard. There were more than a dozen alchemy furnaces neatly arranged here, and medicinal materials and the like were also readily available.

"The assessment is very simple, it is also to refine beauty pills. In the end, whoever has the best appearance and efficacy of beauty pills will get this task." The steward said in a deep voice.

The alchemists present had no objection. It was not troublesome to refine a furnace of beauty pills, and everything was prepared here, which made it even simpler.

Chen Fei found a spot in the crowd, lit the fire and set up the furnace, then checked the herbs next to him, found nothing wrong, and threw them all into the furnace.

The alchemists present were also quite casual in their refining techniques, although not as rough as Chen Fei, but not far behind.

In just a moment, the courtyard was filled with the fragrance of medicine, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Chen Fei opened the furnace cover and took out the beauty pills inside. The servants of the Zhao family hurried forward, carefully took the pills away, and sent them to another courtyard.

The beauty pills refined by the alchemists came out of the furnace one after another and were all sent to another place.

Everyone waited patiently for the results, but in just a moment, the housekeeper appeared in the courtyard.

"Thank you all for your hard work. This task will be accepted by this alchemist Chen in the end."

The housekeeper of the Zhao family showed a hint of apology to the other alchemists, clapped his hands, and the Zhao family servants gave each alchemist a gift box. The things in the gift box were not expensive, but some alchemists looked much better.

After a while, Chen Fei followed the housekeeper to another courtyard, where the voices of Yingying and Yanyan came from.

"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 here because I missed you. What does it have to do with the beauty pill? If you say that, then I'll leave."

"Okay, okay, just treat it as if I was wrong. Don't leave. I still have a lot to say to you."

Zhao Peixiu hurriedly tried to keep her, and just as he was about to continue talking, he saw the housekeeper walking in with a stranger.

"Miss, Master Chen is here." The housekeeper stepped forward and smiled flatteringly.

"Then let's start. I want to eat the pill when it's just out of the oven. I heard that this is the best effect." Zhao Peixiu glanced at Chen Fei and urged the housekeeper beside him.

Chen Fei glanced at Zhao Peixiu and the others. They were dignified and beautiful. Even if they were sitting, they could see that they both had excellent figures.

After just a glance, Chen Fei lowered his head and stopped looking. Chen Fei's nose moved unconsciously, and a very light smell of wound 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 he smelled at this moment was a very high-quality trauma medicine.

Chen Fei did not think much about it. Someone was injured and used trauma medicine, which had nothing to do with him.

"Is this the fifty-year-old medicinal material? It is quite rare."

"Yes, I also got it by chance. My father wanted to use it to refine other elixirs, and I begged for a long time before he agreed to let me use it to refine the beauty pill." Zhao Peixiu said proudly.

"I took advantage of you."

"What should I be polite to my sister? As long as you come to see me often, I will be very happy." Zhao Peixiu said with a smile.

Chen Fei listened to the conversation between the two girls and closed his eyes to rest. After all the medicinal materials were brought in front of him, Chen Fei opened his eyes and began to refine this furnace of beauty pills.

Zhao Peixiu looked at Chen Fei refining the pill curiously, but immediately turned her head away in boredom. This pill refining was completely different from what she imagined, and it was very boring.

Chen Fei looked at the pill furnace, felt the changes in the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials in the furnace, and adjusted from time to time.

Compared with ordinary beauty pills, the changes in the medicinal properties of fifty-year-old medicinal materials are really much more drastic. If you are not careful, you may really fail to refine.

Fortunately, Chen Fei is too familiar with the beauty pill. Even if the medicinal properties change drastically, it is still under Chen Fei's control.

The fragrance of medicine began to permeate the courtyard. It took two quarters of an hour. As Chen Fei knocked off the furnace cover, this furnace of expensive beauty pills was officially refined.

"It's done? Senior sister, come and take a look."

Zhao Peixiu saw Chen Fei take out the pill, and couldn't wait to pull people to Chen Fei.

The fragrance of medicine was originally permeated, and suddenly two wisps of women's faint body fragrance broke in. Chen Fei subconsciously took a breath, and his brows fluctuated slightly. Why does it feel a little familiar?

"Miss, the pills are just out of the oven, it's best to wait for a while before taking them."

The housekeeper saw that Zhao Peixiu wanted to take them right away, so he hurried forward to dissuade her, otherwise Zhao Peixiu might get burned, and then his position as housekeeper would probably be over.

"Got it."

Zhao Peixiu looked at the three beauty pills on the plate with a smile on her face. There would be one left later, and she could give it to her mother.

"Master Chen, you've worked hard, please follow me."

When the housekeeper saw the smile on Zhao Peixiu's face, he knew that she was very satisfied. He bowed slightly to Chen Fei and led Chen Fei out of the courtyard. After all, it was the courtyard of the young lady of the Zhao family, so it was better for outsiders to stay away.

"Sister, what are you watching the alchemist for?" Zhao Peixiu asked curiously.

"Nothing, I just think that his level of refining is very high. If you need anything in the future, you can also find him."

"It's good. I thought that at most two pills would be produced before, but I didn't expect that there would be one more. That's great." Zhao Peixiu laughed softly.

"Housekeeper, please stay." Chen Fei took the thank-you gift given by the housekeeper and bowed at the gate.

"Thanks to Master Chen this time, I will send someone to the alliance to complete this mission later." The housekeeper said with a smile.

"Thank you!"

"I should be the one to thank."

After a business talk, Chen Fei left the Zhao family mansion and returned to the rented courtyard.

Along the way, Chen Fei frowned, always feeling that the woman he saw in the Zhao family mansion just now seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had met her.

"You're back. Did you complete the mission smoothly?" Chi Defeng saw Chen Fei frowning, and couldn't help but ask with concern.

"Well, it's done." Chen Fei nodded.

"Then why do you look so worried?" Chi Defeng asked curiously, the mission was completed, why is it still like this.

"I saw someone in the Zhao family mansion just now, and I always feel familiar, but I really haven't seen that face."

This is what makes Chen Fei most confused. If you have seen it once, you shouldn't forget the person, especially the familiar body fragrance. Chen Fei has nothing to hide from Chi Defeng, and he tells all his doubts.

"The smell can make you familiar, your impression is too deep." Chi Defeng couldn't help laughing.

"Yes, the impression is very deep..."

Chen Fei's words suddenly stopped, as if a flash of lightning passed through Chen Fei's mind. Chen Fei finally remembered where he had smelled that smell. Wasn't it the demon woman he met on the mountain that night?

Because the two sides were very close at that time and the situation was tense, Chen Fei had a very deep impression of Shi Xueqin's smell.

I couldn't remember it 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 upset about the person just now, because the smell of the golden wound medicine subconsciously made Chen Fei connect these things, but he was stuck for a while and didn't react immediately.

But what still puzzled Chen Fei was that when he saw Shi Xueqin that night, Chen Fei was very sure that he should have seen Shi Xueqin's true appearance.

Whenever Shi Xueqin changed her appearance, Chen Fei could see it. Chen Fei still had this confidence. But unfortunately, when he saw Shi Xueqin again today, not only did her appearance change, but Chen Fei still didn't see any traces of disguise.

"In this world, besides the art of disguise, are there any other ways to change one's appearance?" Chen Fei looked up at Chi Defeng. In terms of experience in the martial arts world, Chi Defeng is indeed much richer than Chen Fei.

"Yes, and there are many ways." Chi Defeng nodded.

"What are the ways that you can't see the traces of disguise?" Chen Fei asked.

"Do you even see the traces of disguise?"

Chi Defeng frowned slightly. He knew the superb level of Chen Fei's disguise. If Chen Fei couldn't see it, then the ways to change one's appearance would be greatly reduced, and there would be very few ways to use.

"Yes, I can't see it." Chen Fei nodded.

"There is one, which should be in line with what you said."

Chi Defeng pondered for a moment and said: "Human skin mask! The refining method is unknown, and the wearing technique is almost top secret, but as long as it is used properly, it will completely change one's appearance."

"Human skin mask?"

Chen Fei thought of Shi Xueqin's flawless appearance, and estimated that only this kind of thing could do it. If it weren't for the smell of the golden wound medicine and the faint body fragrance, Chen Fei would not have been able to detect the problem.

No wonder the Shenyan Sect has been unable to eradicate it completely. This enemy is completely hidden among the people, even the old family in Xianyun City, and it is indeed very difficult to detect it with ordinary means.

Chen Fei thought that there should be nothing wrong with his performance in the Zhao family. The main reason is that when facing Shi Xueqin, he used a fake appearance and a different body shape, so the possibility of being discovered is extremely low.

It is best to notify the sect immediately about this matter, but now that I have just returned from the Zhao family, I will rush back to the sect immediately. If Shi Xueqin is interested, it may be a bit dangerous. For the sake of caution, I can wait a day before returning to the sect.

People can't go back, but the news 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 in the past two days. Did they move?" Chen Fei asked casually, suppressing the restlessness in his heart.

"Children? When have children been to the courtyard next door?" Chi Defeng looked at Chen Fei with a puzzled face.
