The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

But Fang Lin? He emerged from that mysterious realm in just four hours; no matter how they thought about it, it seemed difficult to believe.

“Fang Lin, what did you encounter in the mystery realm?” Zhuge Cang looked at the stern elderly man and asked immediately.

Fang Lin calmly replied, “The so-called mystery realm is just a world within a cauldron. I discerned the true essence of that world and so I came out.”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone changed their expressions. Those who had doubted Fang Lin before were now all silent.

The stern elderly man also had a gloomy face but he did not say anything else.

“You discerned the world within the Cauldron in just four hours, you really surprised us,” Zhuge Cang laughed. His tone was full of admiration for Fang Lin.

Su Xiaotong and Zhao Shenkong had complex expressions. They had also been trapped in the world within the Cauldron but they had not been able to discern its essence and they were continuously tortured; they even didn’t know how they got out.

Compared to Fang Lin, there was indeed a gap.

“Alright, this Pill Refiner’s convention is now concluded. Everyone, please disband. The Pill Pole Tower will be opened after three days,” Zhuge Cang said.

Hearing this, everyone looked at Fang Lin and the other two with envy. After three days, these three were going into the Pill Pole Tower. This was a great opportunity to soar into the sky and become exceptional figures.

Even Zhao Shenkong and Su Xiaotong were very excited. The Pill Pole Tower was a holy place for pill refiners in the Lower Three Kingdoms. All pill refiners could possibly enter it.

Only Fang Lin, turning his head around and looking at the ancient-looking seven-story tower, showed no anticipation.

Everyone dispersed and the Pill Refiners from the Lower Three Kingdoms returned to their residences to rest.

The people of Qian Country, except Li Jianlong and Li Feng, were all gathered around Fang Lin and Su Xiaotong, as if they were shining stars.

“Our Qian Country really took the spotlight this time!”

“You’re not kidding, all thanks to Fang Lin and Miss Su.”

“Zhao Shenkong’s face turned white with anger, it’s just too funny.”

“The people of Meng country are even worse, losing face completely this time.”

Everyone was speaking in turns, all expressing their excitement.

Meanwhile, the final result of the Pill Refiner’s Convention was transmitted to Yun, Meng, and Qian kingdoms.

When the Pill refiners of the Lower Three Kingdoms learned that Fang Lin had become the strongest champion, it caused a huge sensation.

At least ninety percent of the Pill refiners did not expect such a result, and many people even doubted the accuracy of the news.

But as more precise information came back, the doubters ultimately admitted to it.

Although it was hard to believe, this surprising and unexpected outcome had the Pill refiners of the Lower Three Kingdoms greatly enjoying the excitement and drama.

Especially in Qian Country, the atmosphere was boiling over. The pill refiners were ecstatic, many of them ran onto the streets, shouting and celebrating.

Even the Emperor of Daqian, Yang Jianye, came forth amongst the people, praising Fang Lin for bringing glory to Qian Country and hailing him as a hero of Qian Country.

Inside the Purple Mist Sect, there was jubilation everywhere. Numerous disciples of the Pill Sect were cheering, calling out Fang Lin’s name.

Gu Daofeng stood in the great hall, listening to the cheering voices from the entire Pill Sect, his face was so dark it was terrifying. He turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

The Han sisters and Han Luoyun stood atop Purple Mist Peak, looking in the direction of Black Cauldron City. The three of them had complex expressions.

“This boy, he is immeasurable,” Han Luoyun sighed.

Han Yinyue furrowed her eyebrows, saying, “Father, why do you sigh when Fang Lin is so outstanding?”

Han Luoyun looked at her and smiled, “If Fang Lin continues to grow like this, the Purple Mist Sect will be too small to contain him.”

Hearing this, Han Yinyue understood that her father was worried Fang Lin, becoming more and more brilliant, would leave the Purple Mist Sect for a broader world.

“If that day really comes, there’s nothing we can do about it. Extraordinary people wouldn’t be content to stay in a small place.” Han Yinyue added.

Han Xiaoxing remained silent, her eyes sparkled a little, but that was it.

While the Purple Mist Sect was celebrating, the Li family was in a somber mood from top to bottom.

The more brilliant Fang Lin was, the greater the pressure felt by the Li family.

Especially when the Li family learned that Li Jianlong had failed twice and had lost the Heavenly Blue Liquid and Mysterious Golden Sparrow blood essence to Fang Lin, the higher-ranking members of the Li family were stamping their feet in anger.

Even the head of the Li family, Li Zhendong, in his fury, openly declared that Li Jianlong and Li Feng need not come back.

Of course, those were just words spoken in anger. They were two talents within the family, it was impossible to dismiss them just like that.

However, once they returned, some kind of severe punishment was inevitable.

Moreover, because Fang Lin’s performance was too great, the Li family was more determined than ever to eliminate Fang Lin.

In Meng Country, the nations’ morale had plummeted, and because Guo Zhen was defeated by Fang Lin and then lost to Su Xiaotong, the country’s resistance to Poison Pill Masters had reached a peak.

Even the Emperor of Meng Country expressed his dissatisfaction with Poison Pill Masters in public.

For a while, the active Poison Pill Masters in Meng Country faced rejection and contempt. Their usual arrogance had completely disappeared.

No wonder Meng country felt it was too miserable this time. Not one of the three champions was from Meng country, and moreover, the Pill Refiners Convention in which Poison Pill Masters took the lead resulted in the greatest disgrace for the pill refiners of Meng country.

In Yun Country, the atmosphere was also extremely tense. In this Pill Refiner’s Convention, Yun Country’s lineup was lavish, filled with geniuses. Zhao Shenkong was the genius among geniuses. Everyone was convinced that Zhao Shenkong could win the championship in this Pill Refiner’s Convention and dominate all the others.

Who would have thought, who could have thought, that the final result would see Fang Lin, who seemed to be far inferior to Zhao Shenkong in all aspects, becoming the biggest winner?

The pill refiners of Yun Country felt a burning discomfort on their faces. The previously superior atmosphere had disappeared in an instant.

They couldn’t accept it. For the pill refiners of Yun Country, they could only describe it as being unable to accept it.

In any case, the name Fang Lin now echoed throughout the Lower Three Kingdoms. All the pill refiners were now whispering Fang Lin’s name.

In a dense forest nearly a hundred miles outside Black Cauldron City, a pair of blood-streaked eyes coldly watched the city. Behind the man, faint figures with chilling auras lingered.
