The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron-Chapter 786 - : The Awkward Four

Chapter 786: Chapter 786: The Awkward Four

Fang Lin is done!

Three Purple Origin Pills with rising purple energy were put into a jade bottle and handed to the Hall Master of North Town Hall.

At this moment, the most awkward ones were Ling Zhongtian and Zhu Yuntao’s group of four.

Fang Lin’s pills were ready, but they hadn’t even started the first step. The difference in efficiency was just too big.

The ones who previously thought Fang Lin was overly confident and couldn’t possibly achieve making the Purple Origin Pill were now red in the face. They felt like they’d been slapped.

Everyone was looking at Fang Lin. Some with admiration, some with confusion, and some with hidden hostility.

...

Fang Lin stood there calmly and quietly, his expression very serene. It was as if the astonishing scene earlier had nothing to do with him.

This level-headed composure impressed the elders present.

But, of course, those North Town Hall elders from influential families didn’t have such friendly expressions when looking at Fang Lin. There was a measure of hostility.

The Hall Master of North Town Hall didn’t immediately examine the Purple Origin Pill refined by Fang Lin but scrutinized Fang Lin with surprise in her eyes.

“Was the alchemy technique you used just now Triple Dragon Fire Refining?” the North Town Hall Master asked.

Fang Lin smiled slightly, “You have discerning eyes, Hall Master. Indeed, the technique I used was Triple Dragon Fire Refining.”

Those present who had heard of Triple Dragon Fire Refining gasped in shock at his words.

The pill refiners who hadn’t heard of Triple Dragon Fire Refining, however, seemed confused. They didn’t know what Triple Dragon Fire Refining was.

Seeing Fang Lin acknowledged it, the Hall Master of North Town Hall showed a different expression and nodded slightly. Those from influential families looked more solemn.

Even more, some people looking at Fang Lin had greed flickering in their eyes. It seemed they were coveting the Triple Dragon Fire Refining that Fang Lin had just displayed.

No wonder there were covetous people. For these influential alchemy families, the value of Triple Dragon Fire Refining was enormous. This was a long-lost ancient alchemy skill that’s frequently mentioned in numerous alchemic scriptures.

Many alchemic ancestors highly admired Triple Dragon Fire Refining. Now, almost every influential alchemy family knew about Triple Dragon Fire Refining, but none possessed the actual method to use it.

If they could obtain Triple Dragon Fire Refining, it would be a massive help to an alchemical family.

“To my knowledge, Triple Dragon Fire Refining had been lost for many years. How did you learn it?” The Hall Master of the North Town Hall couldn’t help but ask.

Fang Lin gave a faint smile, saying, “In my earlier years, I met an old predecessor who taught me many techniques. The Triple Dragon Fire Refining is one of them.”

Fang Lin had repeated this lie so many times that he now recited it effortlessly, as if it were the truth.

Some people doubted this claim, while others did not believe it at all. But there were also some who believed Fang Lin’s words.

After all, Triple Dragon Fire Refining, a technique long lost, appeared on a young man who was not even twenty. The possibility of it being taught by a superior was pretty high.

As for the “old predecessor” Fang Lin mentioned, some people speculated that he might be a mysterious old monster who had lived for who knows how long or even a giant figure in the world of alchemy who had survived the ancient times.

Recalling that Fang Lin was able to leave alive from Xuan Emperor’s hands back in Xuan City, causing the death of the Xuan Emperor and a group of Xuan Country’s royal high-rankers, it’s likely this “superior” helped him.

Such a deduction made some people’s hearts skip a beat. All pointers indicated that Fang Lin had a massive background, and there might be an unimaginable power behind him.

“I heard you also know Shaking Three Mountains?” Hall Master of North Town Hall inquired.

Fang Lin nodded, “I indeed know Shaking Three Mountains, but compared to Triple Dragon Fire Refining, it doesn’t amount to much.”

The North Town Hall Master agreed. Shaking Three Mountains, although also a lost ancient alchemy technique, couldn’t compare with Triple Dragon Fire Refining in terms of hierarchy.

“You can rest for now,” the North Town Hall Master waved her hand.

Fang Lin bowed and stepped aside, his gaze shifted to Ling Zhongtian and his party.

Then Fang Lin cracked a smile. From their perspective, this smiled seemed like a provocation and mockery.

“Hmph!” Anger surged in their hearts. Mo Yun was rather calm against Fang Lin’s astonishment.

However, Ling Zhongtian, Zhu Yuntao, and Shen Xue Jian’s feelings were entirely different. They all came from powerful alchemy families, considered themselves the strongest.

But now, Fang Lin had entirely stolen their spotlight, making them fade to dull in comparison. How could they put up with this?

“You guys better start soon.” Fang Lin spoke, making them even more annoyed.

“No one is allowed to disturb others during the contest!” An elder eyed Fang Lin at an angle, issuing a warning.

Fang Lin gave a slight smile but did not speak further. He’d achieved his goal. These guys were disturbed and would take a while to get themselves together.

Indeed, this was the case.

Ling Zhongtian and the others were deeply stimulated by Fang Lin’s performance and words. They couldn’t calm down.

Their inability to calm down affected their progress in studying the pill formula, making it difficult for them to start refining pills.

Fang Lin, unperturbed, even brought over a chair. In full view of everyone, he sat on the chair and crossed his leg. He didn’t seem like someone who had come to participate in the selection, rather someone who came to enjoy a show.

Everyone gave him a sidelong glance, but he had a thick face and did not care at all. He watched the four people in the competition with great interest.

Ling Zhongtian’s group ignored Fang Lin and concentrated on their pill formulas, feeling a pressure to not fall behind.

Fang Lin had already started refining pills first, which made them feel Fang Lin was only boasting. But now Fang Lin had completed pill refining early on. Whoever among them started first would be taking the initiative and make the remaining people feel even more pressured.

In simpler terms, the one who first starts pill refining will have greater psychological advantage.

Unexpectedly, the second person to start refining pills was not Ling Zhongtian or Zhu Yuntao, but the relatively ordinary, among them, Mo Yun.

Mo Yun gathered up the pill formula, walking to the pill furnace with an expression as steady as a mountain along with an indescribable determination.

Regarding background, Mo Yun was inferior to Ling Zhongtian and the others, but speaking of talent, Mo Yun was not at all inferior to them.

Now, with the determination to win, Mo Yun started the process of refining pills.

No one would have expected that Ling Zhongtian’s group, hailing from influential alchemy families, would be completely behind in progress.

Fang Lin, that oddball, aside, they were unexpectedly even left behind by Mo Yun at this moment. This made many pill refiners from influential alchemy families somewhat embarrassed.
