The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1113 - Chapter 1113 Chapter 1112 Jing Xuan

Chapter 1113: Chapter 1112: Jing Xuan Chapter 1113: Chapter 1112: Jing Xuan Black Guarding Palace was already crowded with many who had come to witness the match between Fang Lin and the Lord of Black Guarding Palace, Jing Xuan.

Jing Xuan, with a calm demeanor and clad in an unblemished purple robe, stood outside Black Guarding Palace with his hands behind his back, his expression carrying a hint of arrogance.

The Pill Refiners of Black Guarding Palace gathered behind Jing Xuan, many of them chattering among themselves.

“That Fang Lin really overestimates himself, thinking that just because he became a Master of Pill, he should challenge our Lord Jing.”

“Exactly, if it weren’t for him becoming a disciple of Elder Tiankui, he couldn’t have possibly assumed the position of Lord of North Town Hall.”

“Just watch, soon Fang Lin will definitely be severely taught a lesson by our lord, letting him know that there are many in the Pill Alliance stronger than him.”

****

The Pill Refiners of Black Guarding Palace were quite confident in Jing Xuan, believing that Fang Lin’s challenge was merely an exercise in futility.

“Lord Jing, when Lord Fang arrives, you should still show some mercy, after all, he is a disciple of Elder Tiankui, so save some face for him,” one of the upper echelons of the Pill Alliance told Jing Xuan, but from his tone, it was clear he wasn’t sincerely asking Jing Xuan to be merciful.

Jing Xuan snorted lightly, “He’s merely a presumptuous lad who doesn’t know the immensity of Heaven and Earth. I naturally need to teach him a lesson, to show him that there are always others better than oneself.”

“What Lord Jing said is right, young people do need to be toughened up, or they won’t amount to much,” another high-ranking member of the Pill Alliance said with a smile.

As for those among the higher echelons of the Pill Alliance who supported Fang Lin, they frowned, clearly dissatisfied with Jing Xuan and these persons’ remarks.

But at this moment, they couldn’t say much; if Fang Lin were to lose later, then whatever they said now would only be embarrassing.

In fact, they didn’t even want to come to Black Guarding Palace, but had no choice and had to come reluctantly.

They had already mentally prepared themselves for Fang Lin’s failure, but deep down, there was still a glimmer of hope.

As the sun climbed high, many in Black Guarding Palace showed signs of discontent, and Jing Xuan also appeared somewhat displeased.

By this time, Fang Lin had yet to appear. Could it be that he was backing out at the last minute, or deliberately delaying?

“Lord Fang has arrived!” Finally, a loud cry rang out, and Fang Lin, in a black robe, slowly stepped through the air.

“He’s finally here!” Everyone present revitalized, as Lord Fang had finally arrived.

Jing Xuan, looking at Fang Lin, said coldly, “Master Fang, perhaps something delayed you on the way? Arriving so late that everyone here has been waiting just for you, that’s quite an attitude.”

Jing Xuan deliberately addressed Fang Lin as Master Fang instead of Lord Fang, refusing to acknowledge his status as a lord, and his words were quite discourteous.

Fang Lin stood above, not immediately descending, and looked down at this Lord of Black Guarding Palace.

“It seems Lord Jing has grown old and his temper not too good. I was merely appreciating the great scenery along the way, pondering the mysteries of nature,” said Fang Lin with a light smile, showing no courtesy to Jing Xuan either.

Upon hearing this, Jing Xuan’s expression darkened further, and the Pill Refiners of Black Guarding Palace also showed deep displeasure towards Fang Lin.

Even though Fang Lin, as a Master of Pill and the Lord of North Town Hall, was young, he was nothing but a junior in front of Jing Xuan, yet he spoke so impolitely, which was quite inappropriate.

“Let us not waste more words, quickly begin, and end this pointless farce,” Jing Xuan said, waving his hand as an ancient, cyan Pill Furnace appeared before him.

This cyan Pill Furnace, an ancient relic, emanated a remarkable aura, with an ancient Pill Scripture engraved on its surface, adding a touch of mystique.

Fang Lin glanced at the blue Pill Furnace, especially noting the Pill Scripture on its surface, and smiled, “It seems that Lord Jing’s Pill Furnace is quite remarkable.”

Jing Xuan replied indifferently, “Don’t waste time; I’m not in the mood to drag this on with you here, quickly bring out your Pill Furnace.”

Fang Lin chuckled, deliberately leisurely, he slapped the Nine Palace Bag and slowly took out the Nine Treasure Luminous Cauldron, then placed it in front of him just as leisurely.

Seeing Fang Lin’s Pill Furnace, a flash of astonishment crossed Jing Xuan’s eyes–he who possessed exceptional vision could naturally tell that Fang Lin’s Nine Treasure Luminous Cauldron was extraordinary. It didn’t appear to be an ancient artifact, yet it had an exceptionally ancient and vicissitudinous aura.

Many in the audience, with their sharp eyes, on seeing Fang Lin’s Nine Treasure Luminous Cauldron, all uttered exclamations.

“Both lords, for this competition, I will be the witness,” said a high-ranking member of the Pill Alliance who approached with a smile directed at Fang Lin and Jing Xuan.

Jing Xuan nodded, and Fang Lin also gave the Pill Alliance official a slight bow.

After all, it was a competition between two hall masters, and it really would be somewhat inappropriate without a high-ranking member of the Pill Alliance as a witness.

The Pill Refiners of the Black Guarding Palace, one after another, cheered for Jing Xuan, believing that it should not be difficult for Jing Xuan to defeat Fang Lin.

Jing Xuan was also full of confidence and did not take Fang Lin seriously at all.

This was not because Jing Xuan underestimated Fang Lin–on the contrary, Jing Xuan knew well that Fang Lin was a genius, the youngest Master of Pill; this was not merely boasting.

But precisely because Fang Lin was too young, Jing Xuan consequently had confidence in himself, after all, he had over thirty more years of practice than Fang Lin, and these over thirty years of accumulation were enough to give Jing Xuan absolute confidence.

If after over thirty years more practice, he couldn’t defeat a mere twenty-year-old youngster, then Jing Xuan really would have lived in vain.

Thus, from the beginning, Jing Xuan believed he was bound to win.

“Your courage is quite commendable, wanting to challenge the hall master; unfortunately, you chose the wrong opponent. If you had chosen any other hall master, perhaps you would have had a chance, but you chose me, so prepare for defeat,” Jing Xuan said coldly.

With a lift of his mouth, Fang Lin replied, “I chose you as my first opponent because I think you’re rather weak.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was greatly surprised, and Jing Xuan’s face suddenly darkened as if water could drip from it.

“This guy is so arrogant?”

“That’s outrageous! How dare he underestimate our lord!”

“Hmph! He talks big now, but he’ll probably end up disgraced later.”

****

The Pill Refiners of the Black Guarding Palace were all angered; Fang Lin’s words were too direct, simply stating that he thought Jing Xuan was weaker. How could Jing Xuan and the Pill Refiners of the Black Guarding Palace endure this?

“Big talk without shame, very good!” Jing Xuan’s eyes clearly showed his rage.

A competition in the Alchemy Tao unfolded between the two, and since both were Masters of Pill, the Pills they refined were naturally of the fifth grade.

The process of pill refining drew continuous exclamations from the audience; as time passed, Jing Xuan’s forehead was covered in sweat, his expression utterly solemn.

In contrast, Fang Lin was relaxed and at ease, showing no signs of strain whatsoever.

Meanwhile, the Pill Refiners of the Black Guarding Palace had long since become utterly silent, struck dumb with amazement.
