The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1107 - Chapter 1107 Chapter 1106 Struggle for Power

Chapter 1107: Chapter 1106: Struggle for Power Chapter 1107: Chapter 1106: Struggle for Power When the Long Family made their stance, many of the Alchemy Tao families who had doubted Fang Lin immediately fell silent and sided with the Long Family, likewise expressing their support for Fang Lin.

This turn of events was unexpected for many, and could very well be described as sudden and surprising.

Even the Ling Family, who had thought the matter was settled, was caught off guard.

As soon as the Long Family spoke up, many Alchemy Tao families that had stood with the Ling Family rushed to support the Long Family instead, leaving only two or three very closely allied families still firmly by the Ling Family’s side.

Compared to their previous immense presence, the Ling Family now undoubtedly looked somewhat embarrassed.

No wonder, though–the Long Family was after all the foremost family in Alchemy Tao, holding a pivotal position not just in the Alchemy Tao World but in all the Nine Countries. When the Long Family spoke, other Alchemy Tao families naturally followed their lead; how many would dare to contradict them?

Even the Ling Family, after the Long Family’s declaration of support for Fang Lin, didn’t dare to speak out anymore and chose to back down.

What could they do? The Long Family was simply more powerful. With a mere gesture, countless Alchemy Tao families flocked to them, while the Ling Family, despite all their shouting, only had those two or three families revolving around them.

This was the disparity, undeniable.

The Long Family’s stance greatly improved Fang Lin’s position. High-ranking members of the Pill Alliance began to use their influence, and recognition for Fang Lin within the Alliance began to grow.

The Ling Family certainly did not wish to see this situation, but against the powerful Long Family, they temporarily had no effective countermeasures.

Soon after, another party made their stance clear.

Elder Tiangang appeared at the high-level Pill Alliance meeting and with just a casual remark, once again shifted the perspective within the Pill Alliance regarding Fang Lin.

“Youngsters still need more maturity,” this simple statement reflected Elder Tiangang’s attitude.

Undoubtedly, Elder Tiangang didn’t approve of Fang Lin taking the position of Hall Master, which was why he specially appeared at the high meeting to leave this comment.

Although not explicitly stated, the senior members naturally understood the implication.

Suddenly, opinions within the Pill Alliance were divided into two camps: those recognizing Fang Lin and those questioning him, with both sides boasting significant support, resulting in several contentious high-level meetings.

No one had expected that the matter of a Hall Master’s position would cause such turmoil within the entire Pill Alliance, drawing the attention of multiple forces watching to see how the storm would settle.

Those unaware of the intricacies might think this was just about whether Fang Lin was qualified to be Hall Master, but those truly in the know realized from the start that this was not at all simple–it was not just about Fang Lin’s qualifications.

Elder Tiankui had pushed Fang Lin into the position of Hall Master of North Town Hall, an initiative that was far from straightforward but rather a tactful maneuver.

As expected, someone responded–starting with the Ling Family, several Alchemy Tao families stood up to express their doubts and dissatisfaction.

But at that time, Elder Tiankui sat back unreactively, seemingly unsatisfied with those who responded.

Later, when the Long Family declared their support for Fang Lin, it was not a rash action, but a deeply meaningful one.

The Long Family could see that the combined doubts about Fang Lin’s qualifications from many Alchemy Tao families had become significant. If Elder Tiankui did not step forward, it would have been unacceptable.

Yet Elder Tiankui did not step forward, and did not do anything at all, letting the momentum build.

It would seem that Elder Tiankui should have acted long ago to suppress these dissenting voices, yet he did nothing, showing an excess of restraint.

The current Family Head of the Long family, a formidable character capable of assessing situations and understanding the grand trends of the world, sharply deduced that Elder Tiankui was waiting for a real challenger, clearly not considering the Alchemy Tao families worth his attention.

As for what kind of challenger Elder Tiankui was waiting for, it was easy to guess–one needed only a little intelligence to figure it out almost exactly.

This was an unseen struggle, as well as a clash for the highest power within the Pill Alliance.

Thus, the head of the Long Family decided on the spot to get involved and resolutely sided with Elder Tiankui.

Therefore, when the Long Family stepped forward and declared their support for Fang Lin, they immediately suppressed all voices from the Alchemy Tao families.

By making this move, the Long Family aligned perfectly with Elder Tiankui’s intentions; although the two parties had not communicated, their understanding was impeccable.

Upon learning of the Long Family’s stance, Elder Tiankui, positioned in the Tiankui Pavilion, said to several of his subordinates, “It seems the Long Family is significantly stronger and more venerable than the other Alchemy Tao families, and not without reason.”

With the Long Family silencing the voices of the Alchemy Tao families, those supporting Fang Lin gained the upper hand, and the matter was almost settled.

Just then, the challenger Elder Tiankui had really been waiting for could no longer hold back.

Elder Tiangang appeared at the Pill Alliance, leaving behind his airy statement, effectively making his move.

This one statement, more potent than any other tactic, resonated deeply with many high-level members of the Pill Alliance.

Thus, the high-ranking members of the Pill Alliance split into two camps over whether Fang Lin was qualified to bear the title of Hall Master and commenced their clash.

And this was a confrontation between two Elders. Whoever emerged victorious would significantly impact the losing side’s prestige.

Some high-level members of the Pill Alliance, choosing to keep a safe distance, greatly admired Elder Tiankui for taking the initiative without any hesitation, seemingly eager for a showdown with Elder Tiangang.

Everyone knew that Elders Tiankui and Tiangang had a poor relationship, having been adversaries for a long time. Even now, in their high positions, they remained foes, frequently undermining each other.

But this direct confrontation over power was rather uncommon, leaving many puzzled as to why Elder Tiankui suddenly wanted to face off against Elder Tiangang.

The high-level meetings were held one after another, with the two factions firmly deadlocked, neither able to gain the upper hand.

As for those high-level members who preferred to keep their distance, they played both sides, supporting neither and offending neither.

Quickly, the heads of the thirty-two Halls expressed their positions as well.

Surprisingly, eighteen hall masters questioned whether Fang Lin was qualified but still harshly criticized him, deeming his appointment as Hall Master an insult to the rest of them.
