Private Customization

After turning through several alleys, Chen Fei arrived at a Carpenter's shop and custom-ordered a cabinet close to one cubic meter in size. The cabinet was divided into many compartments, and each compartment came with either a drawer or a small door.

"It's not that it's difficult, but if you want it by tomorrow, this cabinet will be a little rough," the Carpenter said with a smile.

"Rough is fine. As long as you meet the other requirements."

"Done. Then there's no problem." The Carpenter nodded.

Chen Fei left a deposit, then turned and left.

Whether the idea for this Wooden Cabinet could actually be realized would only be known after testing it tomorrow.

Chen Fei had no desire to linger outside either and planned to head straight back. His Bow Technique still had not been fully ground to the top, and there were so many pills to refine. Chen Fei's time had been packed to the brim.

But after he had only passed through a few alleys, Chen Fei's brows furrowed slightly.

Without breaking stride, Chen Fei continued walking forward.

After Chen Fei disappeared at the end of the alley, a figure looked left and right, then slowly followed Chen Fei's steps. But after turning into the alley, Chen Fei's figure did not appear inside it.

That person was slightly startled and had just been about to chase after him when they suddenly discovered a Black Shadow behind them.

"Why are you following me!"

Chen Fei's voice rang out. That person's body could not help going stiff, and they slowly turned around, looking at Chen Fei.

"Who's following you? I just happened to be passing through here too."

Chen Fei did not respond. He looked at the person before him, especially observing their figure for a moment, and his brows could not help rising slightly as he said, "Dan Xiang, why is it you!"

"How did you recognize me!"

Dan Xiang blurted it out involuntarily, then immediately covered her mouth, her expression somewhat vexed.

"What did you come to me for?"

Chen Fei looked at Dan Xiang. Although someone had disguised her face, her figure had not changed much, and the person who had done the disguise was only so-so, so Chen Fei had seen through the flaw at once.

Dan Xiang was somewhat annoyed by her performance just now. Facing Chen Fei's question at this moment, her tone carried some displeasure as she said, "Do you still acknowledge the Zhang Family's cultivation of you?"

"Cultivation?"

Chen Fei was startled. Cultivation? Before the Zhang Family had collapsed, their two sides could only be said to have had a cooperative relationship, and he had even been stiffed out of a Light Spirit Pill Pill Recipe.

The cultivation technique rewards he obtained several times afterward had also all been exchanged for with merit.

Of course, if one insisted, there had indeed been some. For example, back then, a daily portion of Grass Return Pill Herbs had been used for Chen Fei to practice refining pills.

"Did Zhang Sinan send you?" Chen Fei asked in a low voice.

Regarding the sequence of events behind the Zhang Family's collapse, Chen Fei had already learned a little recently. At the time, although most of the Zhang Family's direct line had died, for some reason—perhaps the Zhang Family had received word in advance—they had had some people leave ahead of time, and Zhang Sinan was one of them.

Even now, the Zhao Family still wanted to kill those remaining members of the Zhang Family's direct line. But it seemed those people had already left Pingyin County, and the Zhao Family had not found an opportunity.

"The Young Miss hasn't been in the county for a long time. What are you thinking!" Dan Xiang said, her gaze somewhat evasive.

"Then what did you specifically come to find me for?"

Chen Fei sighed softly. With Dan Xiang acting like this, even if there had been no problem, one could see there was a problem. Of course, the main thing was that Chen Fei had first seen through Dan Xiang's disguise.

But if the people gathered around Zhang Sinan right now were all people like this, then the chances of this group accomplishing anything were rather low.

However, whether this group accomplished anything or not did not have much to do with Chen Fei, because Chen Fei had no intention of getting involved. There were already very few things in Zhang Sinan's hands that Chen Fei had his eye on.

The only Inner Strength Technique probably could not possibly be given to Chen Fei either.

"We need some Detoxification Pills and Healing Pills." Dan Xiang raised her head to look at Chen Fei and said, "You know how to refine both of these pills."

"The tasks the Zhao Family gives me every day are very heavy now. I don't have much spare time."

Chen Fei thought for a moment, then said, "For these two kinds of pills, I can only provide a small amount."

"That's fine. Any amount is a gesture." A smile appeared on Dan Xiang's face.

"What about the Herbs? How will you give them to me?"

"We don't have Herbs. Can you think of a way to gather some?"

Chen Fei's eyes widened slightly. Good grief. This group actually wanted to bait a white wolf with empty hands. He had already planned to help with the refining, and they actually were not even prepared to provide the Herbs.

Right now, the medicine shops were not selling Herbs. Were they asking Chen Fei to go request them from the Zhao Family or something?

Chen Fei felt that perhaps he was being a little soft-hearted, while Zhang Sinan and those people had taken him for a fool.

"Sorry. It seems I won't be able to help with this."

Chen Fei cupped his hands, turned, and left. Chen Fei decided not to have any entanglement with these people, because their attitude was still the same as before—standing high above everyone else.

"You... ungrateful wretch!"

Dan Xiang watched Chen Fei leave and, in a fit of anger, shouted abuse at him.

Chen Fei's steps did not stop. On his face, there was only a mute, amused smile. Sure enough, with some people, reason truly could not get through, because they forever lived in their own world.

After returning to the Courtyard, he refined pills, cultivated, and ground Proficiency as usual. Night fell, and Chen Fei did not go to the Black Market. Instead, he kept the pills, mainly because he was worried about running into Ling Hanjun again.

Ling Hanjun gave Chen Fei an extremely cold and sinister feeling. With this kind of person, it was hard to say what sort of thing he would do. Although the other party did not suspect him now, Chen Fei felt it was better to be a bit more secure.

In any case, storing the pills for a few days before selling them would not have any effect.

Early the next morning, Chen Fei retrieved the Wooden Cabinet he had custom ordered from the carpenter's shop.

He paid a little extra to have the people from the carpenter's shop deliver it to his door.

After they left, Chen Fei opened several drawers of the Wooden Cabinet and stuffed in some medicine bottles and herbs. Then he pushed the drawers back in, leaving no gaps.

Chen Fei looked at the Wooden Cabinet somewhat nervously. With a tug of his mind, the next moment, the entire Wooden Cabinet vanished and appeared inside the Space Grid.

"It works!"

Having completed the first step, a faint smile could not help appearing on Chen Fei's face. But the test was not over yet. The next attempt was the key.

Inside the Space Grid, Chen Fei used his mind to push and pull one of the Wooden Cabinet's drawers outward. The instant a crack appeared, the Herbs stored inside the drawer vanished and appeared in Chen Fei's hand.

"Good!"

This time, Chen Fei was truly delighted. The function he had envisioned had been fully realized.

By creating a gap through the drawer, he made the Space Grid judge that something else had been added, and then Chen Fei chose one item to withdraw from the Space Grid.

It sounded complicated, but in truth, it was only a matter of a single thought.

Sending the Herbs back into the Space Grid could not be done, unless he summoned the entire cabinet out first; only then could he put the Herbs back in place.

It was still some distance away from a true space where things could be stored and retrieved entirely at will. But Chen Fei was satisfied. At the very least, under Chen Fei's design, the Space Grid could already hold many things.

Chen Fei summoned the Wooden Cabinet out and stored all the things that were inconvenient to be seen in the drawers. According to the order, Chen Fei had detailed arrangements for what each drawer should contain.

He had even made a relatively larger space inside the Wooden Cabinet for storing bows and arrows.

"Now I never have to worry about having too many medicinal pills and nowhere to put them."

Half an hour later, someone from the Zhao Family arrived.

"Old Zeng is heavily injured, and I'm afraid he won't be able to Refine Light Spirit Pills for the near future. The pill tasks assigned to you next will be heavier. If you have any requests, you can state them, and I can go back and report them."

Zhao Xia looked at Chen Fei and said in a deep voice.
