The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1108 - Chapter 1108 Chapter 1107 Lecturing on the Elixir

Chapter 1108: Chapter 1107: Lecturing on the Elixir Chapter 1108: Chapter 1107: Lecturing on the Elixir When eighteen Hall Masters expressed their stance together, the situation became quite serious.

Even Elder Tiankui’s expression darkened, a rare occurrence when he learned of this matter.

As for Fang Lin, who was in the center of this strife vortex, he was also very angry when he learned that eighteen Hall Masters had stood up to question him.

Clearly, there was someone stirring the pot, not just trying to overthrow him from his position as Hall Master, but also aiming directly at Elder Tiankui, who stood behind Fang Lin.

If Fang Lin were truly removed from his position as Hall Master, it would be a massive blow to Elder Tiankui, who had personally helped him to his seat of power.

From then on, Elder Tiankui’s prestige would unquestionably plummet, and many of the high-ranking officials of the Pill Alliance who had previously sided with him might waver.

“Do they really think I’m easy to bully?” Fang Lin, dressed in a black robe, sat on the throne of the Hall Master, holding a Jade Slip in his hand, his face full of a cold smile.

Down below in the great hall, Elder Miao also wore a worried expression. He was one of the few staunch supporters of Fang Lin within North Town Hall–truly hoping from his heart for Fang Lin to occupy the throne.

“Hall Master, is there any message from the Elder?” Elder Miao asked.

Fang Lin replied, “My master advised me to keep calm and not to take things too seriously.”

Upon hearing this, Elder Miao breathed a sigh of relief, “With the Elder’s words, it seems that this matter shouldn’t be too serious.”

But Fang Lin shook his head, “It’s not that simple.”

The reason Fang Lin said this was because he also saw that he was merely a pawn in this, merely a fuse for a struggle for power that had little to do with him, yet he was deeply mired in it and unable to extricate himself.

As long as he remained on the Hall Master’s throne even for a day, more issues targeting him and Elder Tiankui would keep emerging endlessly.

“Being a superior, one indeed doesn’t do anything meaningless. They made me Hall Master to trigger this power struggle. What a hassle,” Fang Lin muttered to himself, feeling somewhat of a headache.

He never liked being involved in such matters, seeing little point in them.

Fang Lin thought so because he didn’t care much for power and influence; he was not someone who coveted power, nor did he enjoy the struggle for it.

In his previous life, Fang Lin pursued the summit of Alchemy Tao with single-minded focus, and in this life, he not only aimed to return to his former peak but also to reach heights in Martial Arts that he hadn’t achieved before, and to discover the truth behind past events. There was so much to do; how could he spare the time for power struggles?

Yet Fang Lin was involuntarily dragged into the fray, becoming an inexplicable focus, with all sides using him to test Elder Tiankui’s capabilities.

“Hall Master, there is a matter to report,” Mo Yun arrived in the great hall with a somber expression and bowed to Fang Lin to speak.

Seeing his expression, Fang Lin knew something must have happened and directed him to report immediately.

Mo Yun said, “For five consecutive days, seventeen of our Pill Refiners in North Town Hall have chosen to resign to join other halls, all of which I have suppressed.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Lin laughed, “This truly is trouble both inside and out. Everyone outside wants to bring me down, and even inside there’s unrest. It seems my situation is indeed difficult.”

Fang Lin’s words undoubtedly carried a hint of self-mockery, mixed with a touch of anger.

Elder Miao’s brows furrowed even tighter. The current situation was indeed extremely difficult to describe without exaggerating; in just a few days, it seemed that Fang Lin’s position as Hall Master was becoming increasingly unstable.

“Hall Master, if we let these seventeen people leave the North Town Hall, then more will choose to leave afterward. We absolutely cannot set this precedent,” said Mo Yun.

“If they want to leave, then let them leave. When they want to come back later, it won’t be that easy,” Fang Lin said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, both Elder Miao and Mo Yun wanted to dissuade him. If those seventeen were allowed to leave, more would follow suit, and once this trend started, it would be difficult to manage. If everyone from the North Town Hall leaves, what’s the point of being the Hall Master of an empty hall?

“Elder Miao, approve the applications of those seventeen who wish to leave the North Town Hall. Also, arrange for me to give a ten-day lecture on Alchemy Tao within the North Town Hall. All pill refiners of the North Town Hall are welcome to listen,” Fang Lin said.

Mo Yun and Elder Miao were taken aback. Fang Lin wanted to give a lecture on Alchemy Tao? What good would that do? Could it be that after the lecture, the pill refiners wouldn’t want to leave the North Town Hall anymore?

However, despite some doubts about Fang Lin’s decision, Elder Miao chose to implement it.

“As for things happening on the outside, I can’t manage them for the time being. Stabilizing the internal affairs of the North Town Hall is the key at the moment,” Fang Lin said.

Elder Miao and Mo Yun both strongly agreed with this. No matter how much noise there was outside, or how the situation evolved, Fang Lin couldn’t do much about it. It was better to focus on sorting out the affairs within the North Town Hall first.

Just like the old saying goes, “to repel the outside, you must first secure the inside.”

Soon, the seventeen pill refiners received approval, regaining their freedom to leave the North Town Hall.

News of Fang Lin’s impending lecture on Alchemy Tao also spread throughout the North Town Hall. Many pill refiners found it baffling. What good could come from Fang Lin’s lecture on Alchemy Tao at this time?

Many pill refiners from alchemy families looked disdainful. Although he was a Master of Pill, his insights on Alchemy Tao might not surpass everyone’s. The lecture held no appeal for them.

Even when the news of the lecture reached the other halls, many Hall Masters mocked Fang Lin. With such urgent matters at hand, this young upstart was still set on lecturing on the Tao. Was he giving up or was he truly that composed?

Since Fang Lin was the focus of this struggle for power, anything he did within the North Town Hall attracted a lot of attention.

When people learned that he would be lecturing on Alchemy Tao, many shook their heads. At such a time, making such a meaningless move was simply foolish.

Others found it curious. Could it be that Fang Lin really had some astonishing insights to share?

On the first day of the lecture, out of more than a thousand pill refiners in the North Town Hall, only about two hundred came to listen, and most had been rounded up by Mo Yun to support Fang Lin and prevent the scene from looking too bleak.

Fang Lin didn’t mind. He took the stage with ease and spoke eloquently, clarifying some issues that were difficult for low-level pill refiners.

By the time it was over, those who had come merely to support the Hall Master found themselves captivated, with many feeling enlightened as if their understanding of Alchemy Tao had deepened.

The number of attendees increased on the second day of the lecture. And this was just the beginning.
