The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1087 - Chapter 1087 Chapter 1086 Unable to Absorb

Chapter 1087: Chapter 1086: Unable to Absorb Chapter 1087: Chapter 1086: Unable to Absorb Under the Sacred Tree, of the ten figures originally seated in meditation, now only nine remained.

A young member of the Demon Clan couldn’t endure the Sacred Qi and was rescued by the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, sorrowfully withdrawing from the cultivation under the Sacred Tree.

Of the remaining nine figures, three were still in the agonizing phase, among whom Fang Lin was one, and his condition was the worst.

Anyone could see that Fang Lin seemed to be on the verge of collapse, likely to faint at any moment.

Just when the Great Sage Equal to Heaven was becoming somewhat worried, suddenly Fang Lin’s body trembled less violently than before, as if the pain had lessened.

Seeing this, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the pain was lessening, it meant that Fang Lin could endure the Sacred Qi, and there was nothing more to worry about.

However, several Demon Clan geniuses, including the dark-faced man, felt rather uncomfortable seeing Fang Lin’s condition improve; they would have preferred to see him unable to withstand the Sacred Qi and be seriously injured by it.

He Jinfeng took a longer look at Fang Lin and nodded inwardly, thinking that this was more like it.

In fact, although Fang Lin’s suffering had diminished, it was not because he had adapted to the Sacred Qi, but rather the Old Dried Corpse had secretly intervened, drawing away a portion of the Sacred Qi that had entered Fang Lin’s body.

As a result, Fang Lin’s physical condition had slightly improved, no longer in the previous agony, and his consciousness had become somewhat clearer.

“Kid, it seems you can’t withstand the Sacred Qi, which is a big problem,” the Old Dried Corpse said to Fang Lin while drawing out the Sacred Qi from his body.

Fang Lin inwardly wryly smiled, having never imagined that the one or two percent chance would befall him; his luck was really bad.

“If I can’t withstand the Sacred Qi, isn’t there any other solution?” Fang Lin asked inwardly.

The Old Dried Corpse felt somewhat helpless: “There is no other way. Sacred Qi is like this; if you can’t withstand it, you can’t refine it. If you force the absorption and refinement, it will cause greater injury. You can only stop.”

Fang Lin fell silent. Was he really going to withdraw? Although withdrawing seemed like the only choice, Fang Lin found it hard to accept.

“I’ve almost drawn out all the Sacred Qi from your body to nourish my flesh. Maybe you can pretend to endure for a while, and when my flesh has sufficiently recovered, you can withdraw then,” suggested the Old Dried Corpse.

Fang Lin wryly smiled, as it seemed this was the only option for now. Although he couldn’t obtain the Sacred Qi, if it could help the Old Dried Corpse’s flesh recover to some extent, then it wasn’t entirely without gain.

Right then, the Old Dried Corpse increased his power and began to forcibly absorb the Sacred Qi emanating from the Sacred Tree.

And at that moment, another young member of the Demon Clan let out a cry, collapsing face up and fainting, blood continuously spilling from his mouth.

Once again, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven took action, rescuing the injured Demon Clan youth.

With this, only eight people remained under the Sacred Tree, seven Demon Clan geniuses, and Fang Lin.

At this moment, other than Fang Lin, the seven Demon Clan geniuses had all shockingly made it through the toughest phase and started to successfully refine the Sacred Qi.

Only Fang Lin, although in a much better state than when he had been on the brink of collapse, still showed signs of suffering, as if he had not yet made it through this phase.

“It’s really quite strange that this fellow would stay in this stage for such a long time,” the Great Sage Equal to Heaven remarked.

Fang Lin was now truly in an awkward position; his body had become a channel for the Sacred Qi to enter the Old Dried Corpse’s body. He not only had to withstand the pain of the Sacred Qi entering his body but was also unable to refine any of it.

The Old Dried Corpse increased its efforts, starting to absorb the Sacred Qi, leading to even more Sacred Qi flooding into Fang Lin’s body.

The pain Fang Lin endured escalated once again, but the Old Dried Corpse was well aware of Fang Lin’s limit and thus was very measured, not allowing Fang Lin to suffer too intense pain and always keeping it within his tolerance.

What kind of creature was the Old Dried Corpse? Once a Demon Beast, it was very familiar with the Sacred Tree and Sacred Qi; its forceful absorption now caused an imbalance in the Sacred Qi here.

Originally eight streams of Sacred Qi would each enter Fang Lin, He Jinfeng, and six other individuals evenly, without any shortfall for anyone.

But now, with the Old Dried Corpse’s interference, Fang Lin began to absorb more Sacred Qi, and the other seven individuals found the Sacred Qi they could absorb reduced.

He Jinfeng and the man with the dark face were puzzled–why did the Sacred Qi seem a bit less than before?

However, they didn’t pay too much attention to it, thinking that it might be a normal occurrence.

But the Great Sage Equal to Heaven was surprised; he knew very well that during the cultivation of Sacred Qi, everyone should receive the same amount, without disparity.

Yet now, Fang Lin was clearly receiving more Sacred Qi, while the other seven individuals were receiving less.

“Strange, why is this happening? Something isn’t quite right,” said the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, his gaze fixed on Fang Lin, trying to discern some clue.

With his Golden Flame Eye, he could see the condition inside Fang Lin’s body and would understand more clearly what was happening to Fang Lin at this moment.

But after some consideration, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven chose not to pry into Fang Lin. Since Fang Lin wore the Gold Talisman that suppressed him, even if he used the Golden Flame Eye, its power could be affected by the talisman, and the true situation might remain hidden from view.

“The Sacred Qi indeed has a nourishing effect on my flesh,” the Old Dried Corpse said with some joy.

Fang Lin cursed in his heart, “You old bastard may be happy, but I’m certainly not. It’s sheer torment without any benefit.”

As time passed, He Jinfeng and the others grew more and more perplexed–why was the Sacred Qi entering their bodies getting lesser and lesser, while the Sacred Qi at Fang Lin’s side appeared so vigorous, more than the sum of what three or four of them could receive?

At this point, He Jinfeng and the others were somewhat displeased. Could it be that our Sacred Qi is being forcibly taken by you?

He Jinfeng and the rest also secretly tried to compete for the Sacred Qi, but after some attempts, they were shocked to find that they were unable to compete with Fang Lin for the Sacred Qi.

It seemed as though there was an attractive force within Fang Lin’s body, drawing massive amounts of Sacred Qi continuously into his flesh.

“He hasn’t passed that stage yet, so why can he absorb so much Sacred Qi? What on earth is going on?” the man with the dark face became somewhat anxious. His own absorption of Sacred Qi was getting less and less, more than halved from the beginning, and seeing the abundance of Sacred Qi around Fang Lin naturally sparked both jealousy and anger within him.

Apart from He Jinfeng, who had a slightly better mindset, the rest of the young geniuses from the Demon Clan felt like the dark-faced man–very dissatisfied with Fang Lin and even more annoyed.

Just then, another transformation occurred within Fang Lin.
