The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1125 - Chapter 1125 Chapter 1124 Long Zhixin

Chapter 1125: Chapter 1124: Long Zhixin Chapter 1125: Chapter 1124: Long Zhixin “Show some respect and quickly greet Lord Fang!” Mr. Long Jiu chided, but by his expression, there didn’t seem to be a scolding tone at all.

Long Zhixin blinked her eyes and cupped her fists towards Fang Lin, “Long Zhixin greets Lord Fang.”

Fang Lin stood up, returned the gesture with a cupped fist and a smile, “Miss Long is too courteous. I have long heard of Miss Long’s great reputation, and seeing you today, you truly live up to your name.”

Long Zhixin’s eyes were fixed on Fang Lin as she spoke, “Lord Fang’s name has also often reached my ears lately. Your feat of successively defeating seventeen hall masters is truly admirable and I hold it in high regard.”

Fang Lin waved his hand dismissively, “It was merely a matter of necessity, nothing worthy of mention.”

Mr. Long Jiu laughed and said, “This girl Zhixin has always been talking about sparring with Lord Fang on the aspects of Alchemy Tao. Since Lord Fang has kindly visited our Long Family today, why not ask for your guidance and let this girl receive some pointers?”

Fang Lin smiled and said, “Sparring is indeed possible, but I dare not claim to provide guidance, after all, I’m no senior expert, and I am but a peer to Miss Long.”

Long Zhixin’s eyes sparkled excitedly at Fang Lin as if she were very interested in a sparring session on Alchemy Tao with him.

“Lord Fang, do you really know Shaking Three Mountains?” Long Zhixin inquired.

Fang Lin nodded, by now everyone in the Pill Alliance knew that he could perform Shaking Three Mountains, and there were many who had witnessed it firsthand.

Suddenly, Long Zhixin’s face lit up with excitement, “I have once browsed through the ancient archives of our clan, and there were fragments left by the ancients that included records about Shaking Three Mountains. Unfortunately, it is too fragmented, and I can only try to replicate it like drawing a gourd from a model; I’m not even sure if I have truly mastered this Ancient Skill. I hope Lord Fang can provide some pointers.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Lin was somewhat surprised. The Long Family truly lived up to its reputation as the leading family in the Alchemy Tao, having even the fragments of Shaking Three Mountains.

What surprised Fang Lin even more was that this Long Zhixin had managed to learn it merely from those fragments?

If that was indeed the case, then Long Zhixin’s talent for Alchemy Tao was rather terrifying.

“In that case, I indeed would like to see it,” Fang Lin stated.

“Good, let us move to the Pill Chamber,” Mr. Long Jiu said.

Immediately, the group made their way to one of the Long Family’s pill chambers.

To call it a Pill Chamber was rather an understatement, as it was as spacious as a grand hall.

In this Pill Chamber, there were numerous Pill Furnaces arranged, and on the walls on either side were inscribed with characters from the Pill Scripture.

At that moment, there were more than a dozen Pill Refiners from the Long Family engaged in Pill Refining, each absorbed in concentration. It wasn’t until Mr. Long Jiu and his party had been there for quite some time that some of them realized it.

“There’s no need for formalities, you may continue refining your pills,” Mr. Long Jiu waved his hand, stopping them from coming over to greet.

Unable to wait, Long Zhixin had already approached an empty Pill Furnace, cast several medicinal ingredients within, and, with a flick of her fingers, immediately a golden flame burst out and began to burn fiercely beneath the furnace.

Fang Lin’s gaze was sharp; the aura of the golden flames was astonishing, and it even caused the various Soul Commanding Pill Fires within him to show signs of restlessness.

“Lord Fang, I present my humble effort, please don’t laugh at me,” Long Zhixin said, but seeing her expression, she carried a confidence that showed not the slightest fear of being ridiculed.

Fang Lin nodded, his expression one of anticipation.

Long Zhixin closed the furnace lid, and once the Pill Furnace was thoroughly heated by the flames, she suddenly struck the furnace with a palm.

This palm strike was executed with great force, causing the entire Pill Furnace to tremble.

Seeing this, Fang Lin’s gaze slightly condensed, and he appeared somewhat surprised.

Mr. Long Jiu’s face bore a smile as he glanced at Fang Lin subtly. Noticing the surprise on Fang Lin’s face, he felt very pleased.

Long Zhixin maintained a steady expression. After the first palm strike, she delivered another, causing even more intense vibrations in the Pill Furnace.

At this point, Fang Lin frowned, the surprise on his face faded, replaced by a hint of disappointment.

Mr. Long Jiu, who was very perceptive, caught the fleeting disappointment on Fang Lin’s face and couldn’t help but feel a sinking sensation in his heart.

“Could it be that the Shaking Three Mountains technique used by Zhixin failed to catch his eye?” Mr. Long Jiu wondered to himself, though outwardly he remained impassive.

After a long while, the third palm strike from Long Zhixin fell, and the Pill Furnaces closest to her began to tremble as well, as if they were affected.

Long Zhixin exhaled lightly, the Pill Furnace stopped shaking, and upon opening it, a plume of white smoke rose, accompanied by a rich fragrance of pills.

Looking towards Fang Lin, Long Zhixin asked with some pride, “How about it? Does my technique meet Lord Fang’s discerning eye?”

Fang Lin smiled slightly and nodded, “Very impressive. To have cultivated the Shaking Three Mountains to this level solely with fragments, Miss Long truly deserves the title of an alchemy prodigy. I admire you greatly.”

Hearing Fang Lin say this, Long Zhixin felt even more pleased. Indeed, she had learned Shaking Three Mountains by relying on fragments and her own understanding. Other Pill Refiners might not be able to reach her level of proficiency at all.

“However,” Fang Lin suddenly added.

Upon hearing this, Long Zhixin knew this man surely had more to say and asked, “Lord Fang, please speak frankly. If there is anything lacking, I hope Lord Fang will point it out.”

Fang Lin looked at Long Zhixin, then at Mr. Long Jiu and the others, and said with a smile, “I dare not presume to teach, but allow me to demonstrate a thing or two for you to see.”

“Please do, Lord Fang,” Mr. Long Jiu said, also eager to witness Fang Lin’s pill refining skills.

Fang Lin nodded, walked to another Pill Furnace, threw some herbs into it, and with a flick of his finger, a flame rose up.

A palm strike fell, and the Pill Furnace trembled, truly the first shock of Shaking Three Mountains.

Long Zhixin’s expression didn’t change because the reaction after this first palm strike was no different from when she performed it.

Soon, the second palm strike fell, and all the surrounding Pill Furnaces began to shake in unison, the vibrations of each furnace identical to the one in front of Fang Lin.

This scene caused Long Zhixin’s face to change immediately.

Mr. Long Jiu and the others were also moved, for from the second palm strike onwards, Fang Lin’s Shaking Three Mountains differed from that of Long Zhixin.

Upon the third palm strike, all the Pill Furnaces in the Pill Chamber, except for the few in use, started vibrating.

Long Zhixin, who had been a little unconvinced at first, now watching everything before her, felt her slight disbelief completely dissipate, replaced by deep shame.

Mr. Long Jiu and the others fell silent. As people with exceptional vision, they could clearly see that Fang Lin’s Shaking Three Mountains was significantly stronger than the one performed by Long Zhixin.
