The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1115 - Chapter 1115 Chapter 1114 Consecutive Battles and Victories

Chapter 1115: Chapter 1114: Consecutive Battles and Victories Chapter 1115: Chapter 1114: Consecutive Battles and Victories More than one Pill Refiner from the Black Guarding Palace raised doubts, claiming the contest was invalid.

Fang Lin gave a cold, indifferent smile, without even glancing at those Black Guarding Palace Pill Refiners, and with a wave of his hand, he put away the Nine Treasure Luminous Cauldron.

However, the high-ranking Pill Alliance officials in charge of witnessing the competition had their expressions turn cold. They glanced at those clamoring Pill Refiners from the Black Guarding Palace and said, very rudely, “This competition took place under my supervision. By questioning the validity of this competition, are you questioning me?”

After speaking, the Pill Alliance official sneered and said to the somewhat dispirited Jing Xuan, “Lord Jing, you had better control your people from the Black Guarding Palace. Don’t let them spout nonsense.”

Jing Xuan snorted and glared fiercely at Fang Lin, “I lost, outskilled, and admit defeat. Lord Fang truly deserves to be a once-in-a-generation talent in our Pill Alliance.”

These words represented Jing Xuan’s recognition of Fang Lin as well as his own admission of defeat.

The Pill Refiners from the Black Guarding Palace were immediately rendered speechless. Since their own Lord had spoken thus, if they continued to claim there was a problem with the competition, they would anger Jing Xuan.

“You are too kind,” Fang Lin said with a light smile, and then turned and left immediately, with no intention of lingering.

“Quick, follow him! He’s going to challenge the next Hall Master.”

“I didn’t expect Fang Lin to be victorious in his first battle. He’s going to press on and continue challenging.”

“Let’s go, let’s go, hurry and follow to watch the excitement.”

Many Pill Refiners also left immediately, following behind Fang Lin, wanting to witness with their own eyes Fang Lin’s challenge of the Hall Masters of the thirty-two halls.

The senior members of the Pill Alliance did not stay either. After bidding farewell to Jing Xuan, they quickly followed Fang Lin.

Two days later, Fang Lin arrived at the Martial Hall to challenge its Hall Master. Along with him, a large group of Pill Refiners and some high-ranking members of the Pill Alliance also arrived at the Martial Hall.

The Martial Hall Master had a good relationship with the Black Guarding Palace Lord Jing Xuan, both serving under Elder Tiangang, so he already knew of Jing Xuan’s defeat.

Of course, the entire Pill Alliance also knew that Fang Lin had defeated Black Guarding Palace Lord Jing Xuan, causing quite a stir.

No one had expected Fang Lin to start with a victory.

Although he had only defeated one Hall Master, this was already a significant achievement, indicating that Fang Lin’s Alchemy Tao skills should be no weaker than those of other Hall Masters.

Some even began to predict whether Fang Lin might truly create a remarkable feat.

Some people started to favor Fang Lin. Although they were few, it was a great improvement compared to the earlier situation where no one favored him.

Even more members of the Pill Alliance believed that Fang Lin’s victory over Jing Xuan wasn’t much to speak of. There could be slight discrepancies between one Hall Master and another. Moreover, Fang Lin’s victory over Jing Xuan could also be partially attributed to luck.

But before long, another piece of news spread – Fang Lin had defeated the Martial Hall Master and was already heading straight to the Sea Guarding Hall.

“It seems this Fang Lin does have some skill, having successively defeated two Hall Masters.”

“Indeed extraordinary, but I still don’t believe he can defeat the other Hall Masters.”

“That’s uncertain, Fang Lin’s Alchemy Tao strength is somewhat difficult to measure.”

****

The upper echelons of the Pill Alliance were abuzz with discussion. Although they had not witnessed how Fang Lin defeated the Martial Hall Master, other high-level officials who were present relayed the events through various means, allowing all the high-ranking members of the Pill Alliance to see for themselves.

Three days later, the high-level members of the Pill Alliance were shocked once more when they learned that Fang Lin had defeated the Sea Guarding Hall Master and was already on his way to the Tiger Suppressing Hall.

This caused a huge stir within the Pill Alliance. More and more Pill Refiners began to set out, eager to witness Fang Lin’s successive victories against the various hall masters.

Many high-level members of the Pill Alliance were also restless. At this rate, Fang Lin might truly be able to create a glorious precedent.

Within the Tiankui Pavilion, Elder Tiankui showed a faint smile on his face after hearing the report from Ye Mengxian.

“This kid, he really knows how to surprise people,” said Elder Tiankui.

Ye Mengxian, however, looked worried. “Defeating three hall masters doesn’t guarantee he can keep on winning. Shouldn’t we consider all possibilities thoroughly?”

Elder Tiankui shook his head: “There’s no need. I believe he should be able to do it.”

Hearing this, Ye Mengxian looked at Elder Tiankui in surprise, not expecting her grandfather to have such confidence in Fang Lin.

“No need to be surprised. Fang Lin’s mastery of the Alchemy Tao is perhaps far more formidable than you and I may think,” said Elder Tiankui.

Ye Mengxian nodded. She admitted that Fang Lin had an extraordinary talent for the Alchemy Tao and was completely unsure of his limits.

But the masters of the thirty-two halls were all skilled in alchemy. Fang Lin was still too young, and one couldn’t be certain he wouldn’t suffer a loss.

“This time, that old Tiangang fellow is destined to suffer a loss at my hands. Some old scores with him are due for a settlement,” said Elder Tiankui with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

In the alchemy families, Fang Lin’s consecutive victories over several hall masters also caused a great uproar.

Especially within the Long Family, who praised Fang Lin immensely. There was even a rumor that the Long Family intended to recruit Fang Lin as a son-in-law to marry into their family.

Though it was just a rumor, it was surprising enough. If Fang Lin did marry into the Long Family, he would be one of them. Who would dare provoke Fang Lin then? Which alchemy family would dare to cross him?

Even the Ling Family probably wouldn’t dare do anything to Fang Lin. After all, the might of the Long Family was no trivial matter. The Ling Family and other alchemy families would shiver under their power and dare not provoke them.

The most troublesome part was that Fang Lin was the disciple of Elder Tiankui. If Fang Lin were to marry into the Long Family, wouldn’t that tie the Long Family and Elder Tiankui together as well?

The Long Family was a colossal entity within the Pill Alliance with a pivotal standing. Yet, they had always chosen neutrality, never getting involved in the power struggles among the eight elders.

But if Fang Lin became the bond uniting both sides, the entire structure of the Pill Alliance would change dramatically.

Once an alliance with the Long Family was formed, how vast would Elder Tiankui’s power become? The other elders would likely worry day and night.

Fortunately, this was just a rumor and not many took it seriously.

Fang Lin continued to defeat one hall master after another, shocking the Pill Alliance time and time again. And at this moment, the one who felt the heaviest burden was undoubtedly Elder Tiangang.

Elder Tiangang had never expected Fang Lin to be so formidable. Though still challenged, Fang Lin had already defeated nine hall masters. Such an achievement was brilliant enough to prove that Fang Lin had the capabilities to hold the position of a hall master, and no one could question this any longer.

Even if Fang Lin stopped challenging, or was defeated by one of the hall masters, it no longer mattered.

“It seems I need to do something,” said Elder Tiangang with a somber face atop Tiangang Mountain to several of his confidants.
