Chapter 3968 Not Even Free

tone was stiff, and after speaking, he grinned at the two of them. His teeth looked especially white against his skin.Looking at the monstrous creature before them, its grotesque grin directed at the...Looking at the departing figure, Ye Bufan felt a blush creep onto his face. As the heir to an ancient medical lineage, a revered Medical Immortal, he had been rejected when offering to refine a pill for someone.

What's even more awkward is that this is just the beginning.

Over time, although some people paid attention to him, after inquiries, they found that he didn't have an Alchemist's badge at all. One by one, they left, and no matter how hard he tried to persuade them, no one believed him.

"What a headache!"

Ye Bufan reached out and patted his head. On one hand, he didn't have a badge. On the other hand, he was too young, making it hard for people to believe him.

But there's no way around it, that first kick always has to go out.

Then he changed the sign next to him, making it read "The first three furnaces of alchemy are free. No charge."

This is extremely favorable terms, attracting a lot more attention.

But the result was still the same, no one tried to have him refine pills.

It makes sense, after all. Although alchemy is free, everyone's materials were hard-earned and fought for. It's necessary to find a reliable alchemist, otherwise it would be a waste of effort.

"What the heck, even for free"

Ye Bufan was also speechless. He changed the sign again, "Free Alchemy, If Unsuccessful, Compensation of Ten Million High-Grade Xianjing!"

Now, this immediately drew a lot of attention, and hundreds of people gathered around his stall.

"What's going on It's free alchemy here, and you want to charge us I've never heard of anything like that before..."

"Is this really true Alchemists are so highly respected that they even give out free pills and demand compensation in spirit crystals if you refuse That's impossible, it must be a scam!"

"I think so too. Not even a badge for an alchemist, I bet the pills ended up in his hands and he just ran off with them…"

Hearing the murmurs around him, Ye Bufan was speechless. This... the more favorable the conditions, the more suspicious it seemed.

But think about it, you can understand. There's a saying on Earth: there are no pie-in-the-sky things, and if there are, they're iron pies.

Your conditions are too favorable, it's definitely hard to believe.

"Folks, that's fine. Even though I don't have a badge, I'm truly an alchemist. Let me refine a batch of pills right now for you all to see."

Having no other choice, he decided to personally concoct a batch of pills using his own medicinal herbs, showcasing his alchemical prowess for all to see.

Fortunately, I have a good supply of Xianling Grass on hand now. The materials for refining items are not a concern, as I'm not worried about the lower-level pill ingredients.

He quickly set up his pill furnace and began to refine the tenth-order Monarch Pill.

Under the gaze of everyone, his movements when refining the elixir were incredibly fast, flowing like water. In just a quarter of an hour, a strong scent of medicinal fragrance filled the air.

Ye Bufan reached out his hand, and nine pills fell into the jade bottle in his hand. The golden dan lines on them flickered, each one being of high grade.

He swirled the jade bottle in his hand, his eyes sweeping over the assembled crowd.

"Well, now do you believe I'm a fairy alchemist"

"This..."

The onlookers immediately became restless. Deep down, they didn't believe the young man before them, thinking he was just a fraud. But the fact that he had personally refined a batch of pills was undeniable.

After witnessing it with their own eyes, some people were moved and began to try and use the herbs to refine pills.

Seeing this change, Ye Bufan felt a surge of joy in his heart. It seemed he had finally succeeded.

Once you take the first step and help the first customer refine a pill, the situation will naturally open up, and things will become much simpler afterward.

Just then, a slightly raspy voice came.

"Everyone, please don't believe him, he's a fraud."

This shout immediately caught everyone's attention. Following the sound, they saw a short, fat, black-clad old man speaking.

The aura emanating from his body was powerful, reaching the peak of Immortal Venerable.

Ye Bufan frowned, naturally not wanting the good situation he had created to be ruined by this old man.

"Senior, what do you mean"

"I just personally refined a batch of pills, as you can all see with your own eyes. How could this be fake It's impossible that I'm a con artist, right"

"Haha, that trick might work on others, but you won't fool me. You can't make me gain five pounds."

The short, stout old man's face was full of disdain. "You say you can really refine pills Then answer me a few questions"

"Sure, just ask me anything!"

The old man's words had drawn everyone's attention. If this issue wasn't resolved, everything would be for naught. Ye Bufan could only patiently bide his time and play along with the other party.

"What grade of pill did you just refine"

"Emperor's Divine Elixir!"

"How many did Cheng Dan get, and what kind were they"

"Ten dandelions, each one of the highest quality."

The elder surnamed Pang asked, and Ye Fan answered whatever question was posed, his expression calm.

"Is that so Then your problem arises."

Fat Wu let out a cold smile. "One furnace, nine pills of elixir, all of the highest grade. What kind of alchemy skills are these"

As an old man who has lived for over 20,000 years, I have reached such a level of alchemy mastery that even an eleventh-rank Immortal Alchemist might find it difficult to achieve.

"But you don't even have a common badge, do you think that's fair"

"I..."

Ye Bufan was speechless. His situation was too special. He had just arrived in Shang Tianyu from Zhong Tianyu, but how could he explain this

Even if I said it, these people would inevitably not believe me, thinking it was the rhetoric of a con artist.

Before he could even speak, a woman in white emerged from the crowd. She looked to be in middle age and was also a powerful Immortal Venerable.

"This senior brother, what you said does make some sense, but we just saw it with our own eyes. Could it be fake"

Ye Bufan quickly said, “Yes, I just personally refined the pills. They must be genuine, right”

"Haha... just a trick of the eye."

Pangwu laughed heartily, "Although I haven't figured out how he pulled off that trickery, there's one thing I can be certain of."

Among you all, who has ever seen a master alchemist able to refine a furnace of tenth-grade pills in just fifteen minutes Even the Guild Master of the Alchemist's Guild probably couldn't do it.

Scammers are scammers. They don't do their homework. If he dragged it on for an hour or two, I might have believed him, but this is impossible!

At his words, the crowd erupted instantly.

"Yes, it is indeed too fast. I was there at the last Dan Wang competition and witnessed the Dan Wang's brilliance with my own eyes. Even Dan Wang himself couldn't refine a furnace of tenth-order pills in half an hour..."

"That's right, there are too many loopholes. So young, refining pills so quickly, and they're all top-grade..."

"Fake, it has to be fake! Those despicable scammers must have tricked our eyes with illusions, but this completely defies common sense…"

Listening to the surrounding chatter, Ye Bufan was speechless.

He was eager to show off his alchemy skills and attract people to commission him for alchemy, so he didn't suppress his strength.

The result of alchemy was too fast, and instead of being ingenious, it became an inexplicable flaw.

Looking at his expression, Fatty Five let out a cold smile, his whole face beaming with the smug satisfaction of having exposed a scam.

"Boy, what else do you have to say"id timidly, "Although Grandpa usually has good health, it doesn't mean he won't have a heart attack. This disease can be triggered by external stimuli or dietary factors."Hailinglan turned her head an...
