The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 193: Pill Pavilion Gives Way

No wonder he was furious. His men, sent to capture Fang Lin, were severely beaten by a group of Martial Sect disciples, including two elders from the Pill Pavilion.

Now, the whole Purple Mist Sect was laughing at the Pill Pavilion. Especially, the Pill Pavilion elders being beaten by Martial Sect disciples elicited cheers from many people.

This made the elder in white even more angry. He held a significant position within the Pill Sect and was the main authority of the Pill Pavilion. When had he ever been so humiliated?

The elder in white immediately contacted Gu Daofeng for advice.

But, Gu Daofeng had no desire to get involved in this matter, leaving the elder in white to figure it out.

The elder in white resented Gu Daofeng’s indifference. After all, he was solving problems for him. But when trouble arose in the Pill Pavilion, Gu Daofeng, the sect leader, left him to clean up the mess.

However, he could only grumble internally. He understood that Gu Daofeng was in a difficult position. Han Yinyue was currently watching Gu Daofeng closely. If he did anything further, he could potentially get caught by her. Therefore, the elder in white had to handle the Pill Pavilion matter himself.

But, how was he to handle it?

Fang Lin’s distribution of pills violated the Pill Sect’s regulations and greatly harmed the interest of the Pill Pavilion. According to the rules, the Pill Pavilion had the right to punish Fang Lin.

After much consideration, the elder in white decided he couldn’t let it go. He contacted Zhao Dengming and others to capture Fang Lin and decide his fate.

Zhao Dengming had been aware of the incident at the Pill Pavilion and was observing it. After being contacted by the elder in white, Zhao Dengming personally led his people to arrest Fang Lin.

Fang Lin did not resist and was easily tied up by them and taken to the Pill Pavilion.

As soon as Zhao Dengming and his men arrived at the Pill Pavilion with Fang Lin, a large group of Martial Sect disciples rushed out from all directions and surrounded the Pill Pavilion. Leading them was Qing Jianzi and two other true disciples of the Martial Sect.

The disciples guarding the Pill Pavilion were stupefied. What was going on? Why were there so many Martial Sect disciples all of a sudden?

Zhao Dengming and his men were surrounded. They couldn’t move forward or retreat. It was incredibly embarrassing.

Zhao Dengming, however, was an authoritative elder in the Pill Sect. Despite being startled by the large number of Martial Sect disciples, he didn’t show any fear. Instead, he glared at them, loudly reprimanding them.

At the same time, reinforcements came out from the Pill Pavilion to prevent larger conflicts.

This time, the Martial Sect disciples showed restraint and didn’t act rashly, which was something Qing Jianzi emphasized. They were going to pressure the Pill Pavilion but would not resort to violence unless absolutely necessary.

Qing Jianzi told Zhao Dengming and the elder in white that if they wanted to punish Fang Lin, they would be making enemies of all the Martial Sect disciples present.

The elder in white was furious. He knew that capturing Fang Lin might face resistance, but he didn’t expect Qing Jianzi and Fang Lin to have such a good relationship and lead so many Martial Sect disciples to cause trouble.

However, for the sake of the Pill Pavilion’s reputation, the elder in white had no choice but to stand his ground. He insisted on punishing Fang Lin and warned Qing Jianzi and the other disciples that if they didn’t back down, he would invoke the Elder’s Order and summon other elders of the Pill Sect.

Both sides were obstinate, which made the situation precarious, becoming even more tense and sensitive.

The elder in white broke out in a sweat, and his heart was on edge. If this was not handled properly, it could potentially escalate into a serious conflict

between the Pill Sect and the Martial Sect.

As the time passed, more and more people from the Martial Sect arrived, many of whom were Martial Sect elders. Even more people gathered from the Pill Sect. The area around the Pill Pavilion was filled with people.

The commotion had alerted the entirety of the Purple Mist Sect, including Han Yinyue, who appeared in the distance to watch the situation silently.

Han Yinyue furrowed her brows. She didn’t expect Fang Lin to cause another commotion so soon, and this one was even more serious than before.

However, Han Yinyue was secretly instigating things. After all, without her agreement, Qing Jianzi would not have made a fuss over Fang Lin.

The elder in white looked at the dense crowd of Martial Sect disciples, particularly the several Martial Sect elders who had arrived, and had a bad feeling about the situation.

Meanwhile, Fang Lin, who was bound, remained especially calm. It was as if everything that was happening had nothing to do with him.

Qing Jianzi noticed Fang Lin’s tranquility and was a little speechless. He was very good at keeping his cool.

However, the more Fang Lin was like this, the more Qing Jianzi admired him. This was a real man, one who could remain calm no matter what happened to him. This was the mark of a great man.

With the mediation of some elders, several elders from the Martial Sect and the Pill Pavilion finally came together to discuss how to resolve the situation.

Only after meeting with the Martial Sect elders did the elder in white realize the depth of the situation. It was more than just about Fang Lin. The Martial Sect was deliberately using Fang Lin’s situation to pick a fight with the Pill Pavilion.

The Martial sect would not make such a big fuss over Fang Lin. Those Martial Sect madmen wouldn’t bother themselves for no gain.

Fang Lin was just an opportunity for the Martial Sect to challenge the Pill Pavilion. The whole thing had escalated to a stage where it positioned the Martial Sect for a negotiation with the Pill Pavilion.

At the negotiation table, the Martial Sect elders were straightforward and very clear. If the Pill Pavilion’s future distribution of pills continued as before, the Martial Sect would refuse to accept them, ensure Fang Lin’s safety, and even poach Fang Lin for themselves.

The elder in white almost jumped out of his seat in anger. He was so angry that he was about to explode when he finally understood the situation. He had been a fool.

The result of the negotiation came out quickly. The Pill Pavilion agreed to the Martial Sect’s demands and promised to improve both the quantity and quality of the pill distribution in the future.

As for Fang Lin, the Pill Pavilion would not pursue the matter any further. However, they required Fang Lin to admit to his wrongdoings and promise not to distribute pills privately in the future.

The Martial Sect was naturally pleased with this kind of result. Even Fang Lin, when informed, had no objections and immediately agreed not to distribute pills privately without the sect’s higher-ups’ consent.

Fang Lin calmly left the Pill Pavilion, and the people of Martial Sect also left one after another, leaving only the people of the Pill Pavilion behind grinding their teeth in frustration.

The incident, which had almost led to a huge conflict between the two sects, ended with the Pill Pavilion at a complete loss. Not only did they lose face, but they also had to make serious concessions..
