The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

The members of the Li Family had left, however, Xing Tianxiao hadn’t. He planted his massive black sword in front of the mountain gate of the Pill Sect, himself seated in a kneeling position in front of the sword. He was like a stone statue, singularly guarding the Pill Sect.

When the Li Family departed, the elderly man of the Gong surname in the Pill Sect immediately received the news, his face turning extremely unsightly.

The Li Family leaving means his Ten-thousand Medicine Sect is losing their reinforcements. How did it come to this?

Without the assistance of the Li Family, given the number of them left, they absolutely cannot leave the Pill Sect.

Considering this, even if the old man of the Gong surname was usually calm, his face still showed a trace of panic.

There was no helping it – anyone would have been flustered.

Gu Daofeng had also received the news, and upon learning that the Li Family had been forced to retreat by Xing Tianxiao, he was relieved.

“Palace Master Gong, we don’t have to go and meet the Li Family now, do we?” Gu Daofeng said, laughing.

The elderly man of the Gong surname was grinding his teeth and cursing the Li Family is his heart. Always boasting about their prowess, but falling short when it mattered the most.

Right now, the elderly man of the Gong surname collected his thoughts, reminding himself not to appear scared lest the situation becomes worse.

With a cold expression, Gong Family’s elder said, “Let’s not talk about the Li Family for now. If Dugu Nian has died, you, the Purple Mist Sect, should think carefully about how you are going to confront the retaliation of the Dugu Family.”

Hearing the mention of the Dugu Family, Gu Daofeng’s heart was filled with worry, and he couldn’t help but look towards the Pill Array.

Dugu Nian was still laying on the ground, surrounded by the elders of both the Pill Sect and the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect, Fang Lin stood to the side, his face was indifferent, it seemed as if Dugu Nian being poisoned had nothing to do with him.

The elders on both sides had seemingly forgotten the tense confrontation from before and were all anxiously checking on Dugu Nian’s condition, thinking hard about how to detoxify her.

All these elders were experienced Pill Refiners, and constantly exuded the strong smell of pills. They had refined countless pills in their lifetime.

Yet, these people were at a loss regarding the poison that Dugu Nian was affected with. They didn’t even manage to slow down the poison, let alone cure her.

“What kind of poison is this? How is it so powerful?” “The poison is not too fierce, but it’s very tenacious!”

“This is a strange poison! I have never seen it in half of my life.”

Although the situation was troubling for these old Pill Refiners, they were invigorated, each offering suggestions on how to detoxify.

Seeing this, Fang Lin sneered. These old guys seemed to be more interested in the poison that Dugu Nian was affected with. On the other hand, they had put Dugu Nian’s life and death aside.

But soon, these old guys realized, if Dugu Nian were to die, the consequences would be unimaginable. In the end, they had no choice but to use their skills, to try to detoxify Dugu Nian.

In a while, the poison in Dugu Nian’s body had slowed, and Dugu Nian had finally managed to catch her breath.

However, even though it was like this, she was still not out of danger. These old Pill Refiners could only slow the poison, they were not capable of completely driving it out.

Meng Wuyou kept giving Fang Lin piercing glances, as if signaling him to produce the antidote.

Fang Lin still looked towards the sky, reluctantly. Because he disliked Dugu Nian a lot, he wished to see her die from the poison.

Meng Wuyou was enraged, and hollered, “Fang Lin, if she dies and the Dugu

Family comes for revenge, I will be the first to throw you out!”

Only then did Fang Lin reluctantly walk over. He rummaged through the Nine Palace Bag for a while before he was able to find something and threw it to Meng Wuyou.

Meng Wuyou opened it to find some black liquid inside, which smelled quite pungent.

Meng Wuyou frowned, “Is this really the antidote?”

“This is the antidote,” Fang Lin replied.

Meng Wuyou looked at Fang Lin suspiciously, his gaze made Fang Lin want to give him a beating.

There was no helping it. Meng Wuyou was even more worried that Fang Lin had taken out another poison, and directly poisoned Dugu Nian to death. After all, in Meng Wuyou’s eyes, Fang Lin was someone who was capable of doing anything.

Meng Wuyou cursed, then went ahead and force-fed Dugu Nian the black liquid.

The elder from Ten-Thousand Medicine Sect was watching Meng Wuyou vigilantly. It looks like he suspected Meng Wuyou had ill intentions.

But the liquid did indeed work. After Dugu Nian consumed it, the blackness on her face quickly faded, and her breathing slowly returned to normal.

Upon further checking, it was found that the poison inside Dugu Nian’s body was indeed quickly fading. In just a little while, she could be completely detoxified.

At this moment, the elders on both sides were all blushing with embarrassment.

Meng Wuyou was the same, his expression was extremely complex. In front of so many elders, they couldn’t cure Dugu Nian of the poison. It was only Fang Lin’s antidote that saved her. This made these elders, who were usually smug, feel embarrassed.

Dugu Nian slowly woke up, her face had returned back to its normal color.

Although quite pale, at least it was not as black and scary as a moment ago.

The elders of the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect, upon seeing that Dugu Nian was alright, retreated back. The disciples of the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect gathered together.

Meng Wuyou fed Dugu Nian a couple more pills to restore her vitality and spirit. After all, she barely escaped death, it’s always good to use some pills to replenish her strength.

But unexpectedly, the first thing that Dugu Nian did upon waking up was to pester Fang Lin for another match.

“I want to compete with you in flame-control! Do you dare?” Dugu Nian shook as she stood up, her gaze fixed onto Fang Lin.

Fang Lin looked at her, didn’t say anything, and unexpectedly took out the dagger again. With a murderous aura, he started walking towards her.

Meng Wuyou promptly stopped Fang Lin. Dugu Nian was also taken aback. The wound on her neck hadn’t healed, and had retreated back two steps out of fear.

Fang Lin wasn’t really going to kill Dugu Nian. Even though he wanted to a moment ago, there was no opportunity now. He only did this to scare Dugu Nian, hoping she’d stop bothering him.

Indeed, Dugu Nian didn’t speak after that, but her eyes kept flicking towards Fang Lin from time to time.

Upon seeing Dugu Nian return to normal, the people on the stone platform finally relaxed.

“Palace Master Gong, can we have a good talk now?” said Gu Daofeng expressionlessly.

The elderly man of the Gong surname wasn’t stupid either. He had been surrounded by the people of the Pill Sect for such a long time but they hadn’t attacked him, which showed they didn’t intend to kill him. This eased his heart a little.

“Chief Gu, regarding today’s incident, indeed it’s the fault of our Ten-thousand Medicine Sect. Would it be possible for you to let us go?” the elderly man of the Gong surname said apologetically.

After all, this was the territory of the Pill Sect. Even the reinforcements of the Li Family were driven away by the head of the Martial Sect. If he still didn’t back down, it would not be called pride, but stupidity.

The elder of the Gong surname, capable of sitting in the position of a sect’s master, wasn’t a fool. He knew when to back down, otherwise, it wouldn’t be any less of his worth, as long as he could leave here alive..
