Chapter 321 - 321 Have Shen Fei Refine The Imperial Pill321 Have Shen Fei Refine The Imperial Pill
As soon as the Butler finished speaking, a middle-aged man in a black traditional robe walked into the room. He looked around forty years old, and fit the stereotype of a handsome older gentleman in his prime.
There was a faint smile on his lips, and his aura was full of gentleness and elegance. This was the Lord Mayor, Edward Gelin.
Mayor Edward walked straight in and sat across from Shen Fei. Then, he looked at Shen Fei with his deep eyes.
When he saw him, Shen Fei immediately stood up, cupped his fists and respectfully greeted him, “Greetings, Lord Mayor.”
!!
“Greetings!” Edward nodded. He still had a gentle smile on his face as he asked, “Young Master Shen Fei, you should know why I summoned you here today, right?”
Shen Fei shook his head. “Lord Mayor, forgive my slow-wittedness, I really do not know.” But he secretly cursed the older man in his heart, ‘You’re the one who personally called me over! If I could actually guess it, wouldn’t that be too amazing?’
Shen Fei did not outwardly show his inner feelings. He could clearly feel the terrifying aura fluctuations coming from the mayor, and it far exceeded what Shen Fei could sense since the last time they met in private.
The mayor’s strength had grown so much that Shen Fei could only use fear to describe it. He was sure that even his father would not be able to go up against Edward at this stage. In fact, if Edward really wanted to duel him again, Shen Fei would probably not even be able to withstand more than ten moves.

Shen Fei’s brows twitched as he apologetically said, “Lord Mayor, I’m not good at many medicinal pills.”
Edward waved his hand and said, “Young Master Shen Fei, you don’t have to worry about anything. The medicinal pill I’m asking you to help refine isn’t an ordinary one. Its effects are said to be extraordinary. Once a Beastmaster eats one, they’ll be able to break through in half a month’s time.”
Upon hearing Edward’s words, Shen Fei’s eyes bulged a bit.
‘To raise one’s level in half a month… That’s like a dream come true!’
If word got out about this medicinal pill, it would cause a great uproar because it was too precious.
Edward’s eyes fell on Shen Fei and he said, “Shen Fei, how about it? I sincerely invite you to join as part of my mansion’s force. Do you accept?”
Hearing this, Shen Fei was stunned. Could it be that a person like the mayor could not refine this so-called medicinal pill by himself? For him to want to recruit Shen Fei to do the refining of the medicinal pill… Was this not making a mountain out of a molehill?
It was not just Shen Fei, even Aloy was suspicious. Her eyes blinked as she looked at her father and said, “Father, why can’t you make it yourself? You want to ask Shen Fei for help? This is making a mountain out of a molehill!”
Edward frowned at her question. He glanced at her and said in his deep voice, “Daughter, what if I were to fail if I refine it myself? The consequences would be unimaginable. Thus, for safety’s sake, I have decided to let Shen Fei help me refine the pill.”
Hearing this, Aloy frowned more deeply than her father.
With her father’s aptitude, how could he not be able to refine medicinal pills? He was certainly more than capable enough, so that begged the question: Why did he want Shen Fei do it?
‘There must be a reason behind this! Could it be to test Shen Fei’s ability again?’ Aloy’s eyes flickered a few times, but she did not say anything more.
Shen Fei’s mind started to turn. He looked at Mayor Edward and asked, “Mayor, what type of pill is it?”
Edward thought for a moment before he pointed at the book on the table and said, “Finish reading this book first, and I’ll tell you later.”
Shen Fei nodded. He picked up the book on the table and began to read. He had only read for a minute and his mind was already reeling.
“Body refining?”
This book was about body cultivation. According to the book’s introduction, it recorded in detail all the things one needed to pay attention to and the methods one needed to use in the process of becoming a Beastmaster. It even included many things that Beastmasters could not understand or grasp.
After Shen Fei put down the book, he looked at Mayor Edward with a bitter expression. “Mayor Edward, there are many things recorded in this book that I can’t understand.”
Hearing this, Edward smiled. “Take a look at page 13 and 14.”
Shen Fei followed Edward’s instructions and started to flip through the pages. “…Oh.”
The book described a pill called the “supreme emperor pill”. After consuming this pill, one could temporarily increase the strength of a Beastmaster’s physical body, while stimulating the potential of their bloodline.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter Shen Fei finished reading, he was completely stunned. As the name implied, it could improve the physical body of the user to an unimaginable level for a short period of time. Anyone who consumed the mighty supreme emperor pill would become monstrously powerful!
‘There’s actually such a strange pill in this world?’
However, the process of refining the imperial pill was extremely complicated.
The refining process required various spiritual herbs, and from every set of medicinal herbs, only the best and most outstanding ones may be used.
Furthermore, the heat required to refine the supreme emperor pill was extremely gruelling. The slightest mistake could lead to failing the refinement!
First, he had to find a stalk of thousand-year-old fire spirit herb as a supplementary ingredient and then refine it into a liquid. Then, after a special refining and fusion process with all the materials, he should have the translucent supreme emperor pill as the end product.
On top of everything, the supreme emperor pill had to be made in the Valley of the Scorching Sun. That valley was always roiling in flames all year round. Anyone who entered that valley would be burned up by the flames of the sun.
And the final cherry on top was that there were many fierce spirit beasts guarding the valley. If he made one misstep, he could lose his life.
This mission was indeed filled with danger, but as long as he successfully completed the mission, the reward would be unimaginable. That was why Edward chose to have Shen Fei go to the Valley of the Scorching Sun to refine the supreme emperor pill.
Of course, there was another purpose for this, and that was to test Shen Fei. After all, what he wanted was a “family member” who was truly loyal to him.
Edward looked at Shen Fei and said in a deep voice, “Shen Fei, what do you think? Can you do it?”
The corner of Shen Fei’s mouth twitched. He muttered to himself for a moment before saying, “Alright! I will do it.”
Edward’s strength was unfathomable. If even he thought he could do it, then why bother with all this? Shen Fei also knew that if he rejected the offer, he would lose his chance to become a Beastmaster forever; that was the hidden threat.
“Alright, then come with me.”
