The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1105 - Chapter 1105 Chapter 1104 Hall Masters Throne

Chapter 1105: Chapter 1104: Hall Master’s Throne Chapter 1105: Chapter 1104: Hall Master’s Throne The Elder Token is equivalent to the presence of the Elder himself, the bearer of this token can directly exercise the powers akin to those of an Elder.

The man from the Zhu Family’s expression changed drastically, completely lacking the previous arrogance, as cold sweat poured down his forehead.

What a joke. Being expelled from the Pill Alliance and stripped of all titles, this punishment was simply too terrifying, virtually rendering his life’s struggles to nothing in an instant.

The other Pill Refiners from Alchemy Tao noble families were also caught off guard; they had not expected Ye Mengxian to be so quick-tempered that, at a mere disagreement, he would pull out the token of Elder Tiankui, utterly bullying by authority.

“Zhu Zhengwen, do you have anything else to say?” Ye Mengxian held the token, looking indifferently at that man from the Zhu Family, Zhu Zhengwen.

Although Zhu Zhengwen was a seasoned Pill Refiner of the North Town Hall, at this moment he felt incredibly weak, fearing that Ye Mengxian would truly expel him from the Pill Alliance.

As a Pill Refiner, being expelled from the Pill Alliance was a colossal joke; losing all status and position within the Alliance, even if he returned to his family, he would not be able to raise his head, becoming a laughingstock.

Zhu Zhengwen had wanted to obstruct Fang Lin from becoming the Hall Master and trip him up, but now that Ye Mengxian had directly played his card, acting tough in opposition was simply foolish.

Zhu Zhengwen quickly bowed with hands clasped, bending forward: “Previously, I misspoke, I hope Master Ye will forgive me. As for Master Fang becoming the Hall Master, I have no objections whatsoever.”

Ye Mengxian sneered, “Even if you do object, it’s irrelevant. We never needed to seek anyone’s opinion. The Elder has already spoken, the Hall Master token has been handed over to Fang Lin, and the higher-ups are well aware; the matter is settled.”

Hearing this, the Pill Refiners from the Alchemy Tao noble families all sighed inwardly, realizing this was beyond salvage. Even if they expressed dissatisfaction, it would merely be a farce, the decision makers simply didn’t care about their satisfaction. Once something is set in stone, no amount of talk could change it.

Those Pill Refiners who had been against it before all quieted down, no longer voicing any objections.

Ye Mengxian glanced at Fang Lin, signalling him to say something. After all, he was about to take over the vast North Town Hall, he couldn’t remain silent.

Fang Lin understood and, with a hint of a smile on his face, looked at everyone as he spoke: “I believe most of you know me, since I too emerged from this North Town Hall. Thanks to the favor of Elder Tiankui, my master, and my own exceptional abilities, I have obtained the position of the Hall Master. I hope that during my tenure at North Town Hall, everyone will cooperate harmoniously with me. If I feel comfortable, then everyone can feel at ease.”

As he spoke, Fang Lin’s smile brightened, seemingly in a good mood.

But hearing Fang Lin’s words, many people’s expressions turned grave; Fang Lin’s words were quite blunt.

“As long as I’m comfortable, everyone can be,” what exactly is he implying?

No one present was oblivious to the meaning: if you make it difficult for me, Fang Lin, here, I will do the same to you. After all, I am the Hall Master, and I have countless ways to deal with you.

Ye Mengxian seemed quite pleased with Fang Lin’s statement, nodding repeatedly and adding, “While Lord Fang is in charge of the North Town Hall, I will also visit from time to time, and perhaps one day, the Elder will miss his disciple and personally come down to the North Town Hall.”

If Fang Lin’s previous remarks were a warning, then what Ye Mengxian said was complete deterrence.

Even Elders Feng and Yao showed shock; Elder Tiankui personally coming to the North Town Hall? The mere thought was too horrifying to contemplate.

“Let’s go inside,” said Ye Mengxian.

With that, Elder Miao and the other two led the way, the multitude of Pill Refiners stepped aside, allowing Ye Mengxian and Fang Lin to enter the North Town Hall smoothly.

Inside the North Town Hall, everything was as it had been; nothing had changed since Fang Lin’s departure.

He walked straight to the great hall where the black iron throne stood above eighteen steps, symbolizing the ultimate authority within this sanctuary.

Once, Ye Mengxian, clad in a black dress, sat on that black iron throne, aloof and frosty, ruling over North Town Hall. No one dared meet her eye, all had to look up to her.

But now, the one about to ascend this black iron throne was Fang Lin, who had once gazed up at Ye Mengxian from below this very seat. However, he now stood at the same lofty height as she once did, and it hadn’t taken him very long at all.

How unpredictable life is, and fate plays strange tricks. The former Fang Lin could never have imagined that he would ascend this black iron throne so swiftly.

“Go ahead, try sitting up there and see how it feels,” Ye Mengxian said.

Fang Lin nodded and slowly stepped onto the staircase.

Step by step, he moved with unwavering steadiness. Though not swift, he did not pause for even a moment, heading straight for the throne.

Fang Lin turned and then seated himself upon the black iron throne.

Leading the way, Elder Miao bowed, “We greet Lord Fang!”

Elder Feng and Elder Yao also bent forward with a fist in palm salute, “We greet Lord Fang!”

All the Pill Refiners of North Town Hall greeted in unison, “We greet Lord Fang!”

Fang Lin, wearing a smile, listened to the greetings from below, feeling quite even-tempered, without any surge of excitement or agitation.

Perhaps it was because of his experiences in a previous life, Fang Lin was already accustomed to scenes where countless people paid their respects to him.

In his past life, as a Pill Sovereign, everyone in the Pill Saint Palace, except the Old Palace Master, had to greet Fang Lin, and all the Pill Refiners under the heavens had to offer him the grand gesture of three kneelings and nine bows.

“You needn’t be so formal,” Fang Lin finally spoke after the third round of salutations.

All the Pill Refiners looked at Fang Lin, their eyes revealing various emotions, yet all felt a sense of realization and complexity deep within.

Once upon a time, Fang Lin stood among them in this great hall, bowing to Ye Mengxian on the throne.

Now, Fang Lin was the one seated upon that throne, having become the highest ruler of North Town Hall, with everyone needing to greet him.

This shift made many feel uncomfortable, as if someone who had always been their equal suddenly climbed above them unexpectedly, reaching a height utterly out of reach.

As was customary, the new Hall Master had to review the Pill Refiner Roster. Elder Miao had the roster prepared in advance and handed it to Fang Lin.

Fang Lin opened the roster and began to check the names one by one.

This process of checking the roster took quite some time, and it wasn’t completed until half a day later.

Having completed the roster check, Fang Lin now had a much clearer understanding of the current situation in North Town Hall.

“So many Pill Refiners are under North Town Hall, I truly never paid attention to that before,” Fang Lin thought to himself.
