The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

The elderly man in the green robe repeatedly shook his head, “Impossible! Even though you’re highly gifted, taking away all the Pill Furnaces here is no simple task that depends merely on talent.”

After a moment, the elder continued, “Every single Pill Furnace here contains a shred of its original user’s will. It’s not you who chooses them. Instead, it’s them choosing you. Regardless of how talent you have, if your potential lacks appeal to the wills embodied within these Pill Furnaces, you won’t be able to take them away.”

Fang Lin suddenly understood, apparently, these Pill Furnaces were the ones to decide whether they wanted to leave with him.

This was turning out to be even more intriguing. A curve tugged at the corner of Fang Lin’s mouth. His Nine Cauldron Skypassing Spell had been stuck for quite some time. If he could possibly take away all the Pill Furnaces here, his gains would be unimaginable.

Moreover, Fang Lin had an extremely powerful technique that required gathering many Pill Furnaces to execute. If all the Pill Furnaces in this place were to become his, then he could carry out this technique.

“Elder, what should I do?” asked Fang Lin.

The elderly man in the green robe pointed to the largest furnace on the ground, “Sit within it and open your mind to connect with those Pill Furnaces above. If they choose you, they’ll descend. As for the number of Pill Furnaces that will favor you, it’s up to you.”

Fang Lin nodded and immediately jumped into the giant furnace and sat cross-legged.

The interior of this massive Pill Furnace was so spacious that not only one person could sit inside it, but ten people could fit comfortably.

Fang Lin sat in it, reaching out to touch the cool inner wall of the Pill Furnace. It felt cold and covered with dust, clearly implying that this Pill Furnace had not been used for a long time.

With that, Fang Lin closed his eyes and opened his mind. Soon, he saw several pairs of eyes staring at him from above.

The scene was extremely eerie. All he could see was numerous eyes staring at him, enough to raise one’s goosebumps.

Fang Lin knew that these ‘eyes’ were the will of each Pill Furnace, judging whether he was worthy enough to possess them.

“A mere Three Cauldrons Pill Refiner dares to covet us?”

“He’s so weak, not worth to mention.”

“Are we doomed to be trapped here forever?”

···

Hearing these voices filled with contempt and disdain, Fang Lin was taken aback; it turned out that these Pill Furnaces’ will had despised him.

How could he bear this?

Immediately, Fang Lin let out a cold snort, releasing the aura of the Pill Sovereign.

The numerous pairs of eyes above instantly filled with extreme terror, as if they had seen something utterly horrific.

“I am the Pill Sovereign! How dare you defy me?” Fang Lin yelled fiercely at them, his aura imposing and seemingly capable of devouring the world.

At this moment, the elderly man in the green robe watched Fang Lin, who was sitting inside the Pill Furnace, with anticipation on his face.

“I wonder how many Pill Furnaces this young man could connect with? Maybe more than ten.” The elderly man made a silent guess in his mind.

Just as he pondered, the eighty-one Pill Furnaces above began to shake simultaneously.

“What’s going on?” The elderly man was startled and quickly looked up, only to find that the eighty-one Pill Furnaces were emitting dazzling lights.

The next moment, one after another, Pill Furnaces crashed down, scaring the elderly man to the point his face turned pale. Even though he was a phantom, he couldn’t help but to retreat to the edge.

Bang Bang Bang Bang!!!

As the Pill Furnaces kept falling like raindrops, the elderly man was flabbergasted. What on earth was going on? Was the Pill Pole Tower going to collapse? If not, why did all the Pill Furnaces fall?

In the blink of an eye, the eighty-one Pill Furnaces all landed on the ground, radiating brilliant lights as if they were responding to something.

The elderly man’s eyes suddenly widened, and he looked unbelievably at Fang Lin who was sitting inside the giant Pill Furnace.

“Is it this boy?” The elderly man could hardly believe it and was reluctant to, but the scene unfolding before his eyes was astonishingly real.

All eighty-one Pill Furnaces had descended. What did that signify?

It denoted that they had all chosen Fang Lin. He had earned the acknowledgment of all the Pill Furnaces.

This was simply inconceivable. At least, the elderly man had never imagined that such a shocking sight would occur.

Fang Lin opened his eyes and stood up from within the Pill furnace. Seeing all eighty-one Pill Furnaces had descended, a smile graced his face.

“Elder, it looks like I’m quite lucky. They’ve all chosen me.” Fang Lin spoke to the elder in the distance.

The elderly man had a peculiar look on his face. He had just been guessing how many Pill Furnaces Fang Lin could take away. Yet, unexpectedly in just a flash, all these Pill Furnaces had descended. He felt utterly humiliated.

“How did you do that?” The elderly man asked incredulously.

Fang Lin looked somewhat puzzled, “I did exactly as you said. I opened my mind to communicate with them. As it turns out, they all found me likable and decided to follow me.”

The elderly man rolled his eyes. Was it that simple? Then why could other people only communicate with a few Pill Furnaces, while you, a mere boy, have gotten all Pill Furnaces down?

The green-robed elder was teeming with doubts while Fang Lin already started cheerfully collecting the Pill Furnaces.

All he saw were Pill Furnaces being successively taken into the Nine Palace Bag by Fang Lin, as if he was storing away something trivial.

But in reality, each of these Pill Furnaces was of immense value. They were ancient artifacts, all brought into the Pill Pole Tower from the heritage of the Pill Alliance.

This time, the Pill Alliance suffered a huge loss with all these Pill Furnaces benefitting Fang Lin.

In the end, Fang Lin patted the colossal Pill Furnace and accepted that as well into his possession.

The elderly man’s mouth twitched continuously as he stared at the now-empty hall, feeling as if he was about to burst into tears.

What the hell was this about? The Pill Furnaces had been here for so many years and their quantity had rarely decreased. But within a blink of an eye today, a young man took them all away.

The elderly man wished to stop this but had no way to intervene. After all, Fang Lin was doing everything by the rules without a single violation. On what grounds could he prevent this?

“Elder, are there any other Pill Furnaces here? If there are, I’ll take them all.” Fang Lin asked.

The elderly man almost coughed out blood. How could this boy be so greedy? After clearing out all the Pill Furnaces here, he was still insatiable?

“None left! Not even a single one left! Stop bothering about it!” The elderly man replied in annoyance.

Fang Lin pouted, “So, are these all the Pill Furnaces on the second floor?”
