The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1110 - Chapter 1110 Chapter 1109 Fame Spreads

Chapter 1110: Chapter 1109: Fame Spreads Chapter 1110: Chapter 1109: Fame Spreads Lord Lu Feng of the Western Guarding Palace was also an “old friend” of Fang Lin’s, and there was a time when Fang Lin almost died at his hands.

However, since Fang Lin had fed him a poisoned pill, the man had become completely obedient, and even though he had already been given the antidote, Lu Feng had not bothered Fang Lin again.

Of course, he no longer had the ability to do so at present.

Lu Feng, along with several other Hall Masters, came to visit Fang Lin, and naturally, Fang Lin treated them with due respect. After a subtle exchange, the Hall Masters left their congratulatory gifts and departed, all except for Lu Feng who deliberately circled back after leaving.

Fang Lin took him to a secret chamber, and there Lu Feng informed him of some news that Fang Lin had not been aware of.

It turned out that most of the Hall Masters of the thirty-two palaces, except for those belonging to Elder Tiankui’s command, had been secretly summoned by Elder Tiangang, including Lu Feng.

Elder Tiangang promised them great rewards to have most of the Hall Masters stand out and question Fang Lin, thus amplifying Elder Tiangang’s influence.

Hence, there was the occurrence of eighteen Hall Masters jointly expressing their stance, all orchestrated by Elder Tiangang, with the purpose of pulling Fang Lin down from his position as Lord and severely undermining Elder Tiankui’s prestige.

After listening, Fang Lin looked at Lu Feng with a smile that was not quite a smile, “Then why, among the eighteen Hall Masters who have made a statement, is Lord Lu not counted?”

Lu Feng’s expression was cool and detached, “I have no interest in getting involved in this matter, and naturally, I will not step forward to say anything. Telling you all this is just to let you know, and it has no other implications.”

Fang Lin looked at Lu Feng, whose expression was as cold as usual.

“Do you think I can hold my position as Lord steadily?” Fang Lin asked.

Lu Feng frowned, “You have Elder Tiankui’s backing, as long as he stands, you will hold firm.”

Fang Lin nodded, “Yes, as long as Elder Tiankui does not fall, I can do as I please within the Pill Alliance. Unfortunately, the Pill Alliance is not Elder Tiankui’s alone. If I do nothing, I would be a bit too passive.”

Lu Feng had somewhat understood Fang Lin, despite his youth, he was a person of audacious ambition, one who dares to think about what he doesn’t dare to do. The words he spoke now were definitely harboring some plans.

“What are you planning to do?” Lu Feng asked.

A smile appeared at the corner of Fang Lin’s mouth, “Quite simple, isn’t it just the Hall Masters of the thirty-two palaces? Beat them up one by one, and see if they still dare to question me.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng’s expression suddenly changed. Could it be that Fang Lin truly intended to go ahead and beat up the Hall Masters of the thirty-two palaces one by one?

Wasn’t that too insane?

Setting aside whether you, Fang Lin, have the strength to do so, even if you did, if you really beat up all of the Hall Masters of the thirty-two palaces, the number of people you would offend in the Pill Alliance would be unimaginable. When the time comes, even Elder Tiankui might not be able to protect you.

Fang Lin, looking at Lu Feng’s shocked expression, laughed heartily, “Just kidding. How could I possibly be such a rash person? I’m someone who likes to reason with others the most, and I never resort to fighting or killing lightly.”

Lu Feng’s mouth twitched uncontrollably. How could you have the audacity to say such a thing? When you were fighting to the death against the Xuan Emperor outside Xuan City, where was your reason then?

Lu Feng’s most vivid memory of Fang Lin was still the scene outside Xuan City where Fang Lin had fought the Xuan Emperor, crashing his body to pieces in their deadly clash.

Such boldness, such madness, even to this day, was vivid in Lu Feng’s mind, stirring a hint of fear in him towards Fang Lin.

“As a Pill Refiner, engaging in fighting and killing is naturally undesirable, but settling our differences through Alchemy Tao should still be acceptable.” Fang Lin said.

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng was taken aback, seemingly understanding what Fang Lin intended to do.

“Lord Lu, this matter also requires your minor cooperation,” Fang Lin said with a smile.

Lu Feng remained silent and did not refuse.

After a fortnight of Pill Refining lectures, all Pill Refiners of the North Town Hall fully respected Fang Lin, completely subdued by him.

Even those Pill Refiners from Alchemy Tao noble families turned toward Fang Lin and nearly knelt down in worship.

Even the reputation of Fang Lin’s lectures had spread outside, attracting many Pill Refiners who came specifically to listen to his teachings.

Fang Lin did not turn any away, welcoming anyone willing to listen.

As a result, in addition to the original thousand or so Pill Refiners of the North Town Hall, many more from nearby places came due to his growing fame.

As time passed, the number of Pill Refiners coming to hear the lectures increased, and Fang Lin’s reputation rose within the clamor of the Pill Alliance.

“Have you heard? That Lord of the North Town Hall, Fang Lin, with just half a month of lectures, has already attracted many Pill Refiners to join the North Town Hall.”

“Heh, I’m already planning to go to the North Town Hall. I’ve heard that Lord Fang’s lectures on Pill Refining are extremely exquisite, and many who have heard him teach have significantly improved their skills.”

“It seems there is this notion, that listening to his Pill Refining for ten days is equal to ten years of arduous practice.”

“That’s too exaggerated, isn’t it? Is it really that miraculous?”

“Who knows, that’s why I have to go and see for myself. I’m very curious about this Lord Fang.”

Within the higher ranks of the Pill Alliance, attitudes towards Fang Lin were also quietly changing, with some of the more cautious leaders gradually leaning towards him.

This surprised those leaders who had doubted Fang Lin. Had merely a dozen days of his lectures on Alchemy Tao swayed these otherwise noncommittal leaders?

Could it be that Elder Tiankui had taken action in secret, co-opting these leaders?

Or was it that the Long Family had begun to exert their influence, maneuvering within the upper echelons of the Pill Alliance?

Whatever the case, the situation for Fang Lin seemed to have improved from before, at least momentarily quelling the voices of skepticism with those of support.

On the twentieth day of the lectures, more than five thousand Pill Refiners gathered together, creating a buzzing and lively atmosphere.

However, as soon as Fang Lin appeared, the entire place fell silent, with eyes full of anticipation or skepticism fixated solely on him.

Fang Lin was composed and relaxed, his every move displaying the demeanor of a superior, prompting many Pill Refiners to reveal an involuntary expression of reverence.

“We pay our respects to Lord Fang,” many Pill Refiners called out in unison, bowing. These were people who had listened to Fang Lin’s lectures for some time, and many did not bow, as they were just there to see if his Pill Refining was as magical as the rumors suggested.

Even several high-ranking members of the Pill Alliance had come secretly to see for themselves.

After half a day, all the Pill Refiners present who listened to the lecture were completely won over by Fang Lin’s teaching, leaving even those high-ranking members of the Pill Alliance without anything to say.

“The reputation is well-deserved; this Lord Fang is truly a rare Alchemy Tao prodigy in the Pill Alliance!” exclaimed one of the high-ranking members admiringly.
