The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1134 - Chapter 1134 Chapter 1133 The Origin of Demons

Chapter 1134: Chapter 1133: The Origin of Demons Chapter 1134: Chapter 1133: The Origin of Demons The next day, Fang Lin ended his night of cultivation, feeling exceptionally well.

After the battle with Long Zhiming, Fang Lin gained a clearer understanding of his own strength, and he also realized that even though he was now much stronger than before, he should never underestimate any opponent.

“Lord Fang, how was your rest?” Mr. Long Jiu arrived outside the courtyard with a smile on his face and did not enter directly.

Fang Lin quickly went out and welcomed Mr. Long Jiu inside.

“Staying here feels even more comfortable than in North Town Hall,” Fang Lin said with a smile.

Mr. Long Jiu nodded, “As long as Lord Fang is comfortable. I apologize for any shortcomings in our hospitality.

After exchanging pleasantries, Mr. Long Jiu and Fang Lin took their seats in the courtyard.

“Lord Jiu, to what do I owe the pleasure of your visit? Is there something you wish to discuss with me?” Fang Lin asked directly after noticing Mr. Long Jiu’s expression, sensing that he must have had a reason for coming.

Mr. Long Jiu did not beat around the bush, saying, “To be frank, Lord Fang, my daughter Zhixin has taken a liking to you at first sight and admires you greatly. The Long Family is also interested in seeking a son-in-law, but I’m not sure if you’d be willing?”

Fang Lin was startled; Mr. Long Jiu was truly forthright, cutting straight to the chase and directly asking if he had any intention of joining the Long Family.

Fang Lin chuckled and said, “I only met Miss Zhixin yesterday, how could she have taken a liking to me so quickly? Moreover, joining a family by marriage is a major decision, and for Lord Jiu to ask me so directly, it is really difficult for me to respond.”

Mr. Long Jiu was direct, but Fang Lin was very tactful, not explicitly revealing his thoughts. However, anyone who understood would realize from Fang Lin’s words that he was subtly expressing his refusal.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Long Jiu understood the implications in Fang Lin’s words, though he did not show any change in expression.

Before coming, Mr. Long Jiu knew that convincing Fang Lin to join the Long Family would not be a simple matter.

If it were anyone else, faced with such an opportunity, they would certainly jump at the chance, but Fang Lin was different–he had his own ideas and was not someone who made decisions lightly just for personal gain.

Mr. Long Jiu had also conducted his own investigations into Fang Lin, and he knew that Fang Lin had a significant relationship with Dugu Nian. Though the two appeared to be just close friends, the fact that Fang Lin once caused an uproar in Xuan City and fought against the Xuan Emperor for Dugu Nian suggested that their relationship might be more than just friendship.

Dugu Nian and Fang Lin had been together for a long time in an ambiguous relationship, yet Zhixin had only just met Fang Lin and was already hoping for him to join her family; it was nothing short of ludicrous.

“What do you think of Zhixin, Lord Fang? Do you find her to your liking?” Mr. Long Jiu asked, his eyes shifting.

Fang Lin couldn’t help but smile bitterly, “Where does Lord Jiu come up with that? Miss Zhixin is incredibly beautiful, a rare gem among women. How could I casually judge her? Wouldn’t that be disrespectful?”

Mr. Long Jiu suggested, “Since that’s the case, why doesn’t Lord Fang stay with the Long Family a little longer to get to know Zhixin better? Perhaps it might change your mind.”

Fang Lin shook his head, “I appreciate the kindness, Lord Jiu, but I’ve only just taken up the position of Lord, and I have many responsibilities. I managed to find some time in my busy schedule for this visit, but it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to extend my stay.”

Upon hearing this, Mr. Long Jiu felt doubtful.

Although it was true that Fang Lin had just taken on the role of Lord and might indeed be preoccupied, he surely could have delegated some matters to his elders.

Saying it like this was just another way of rejecting the offer, wasn’t it obvious?

Therefore, Mr. Long Jiu did not continue discussing the matter of marriage. After all, being from the Long Family, he had his dignity. Fang Lin had already signaled his lack of interest, and to keep pressing the issue would make it seem like Zhixin couldn’t find a match, which would be demeaning.

At that moment, Mr. Long Jiu changed the topic and mentioned the Fall Demon Cliff.

“Does Lord Fang know about the Fall Demon Cliff?” asked Mr. Long Jiu.

Upon hearing this, Fang Lin’s expression changed, “I’ve visited the Fall Demon Cliff before, where I was ambushed by the Hidden Kill Hall.”

Mr. Long Jiu frowned upon hearing this, “The Hidden Kill Hall is so bold as to ambush a hall master of the Pill Alliance; it seems we must take some action against them.”

“Why does Lord Jiu bring up the Fall Demon Cliff?” Fang Lin inquired.

Mr. Long Jiu then told Fang Lin what he knew about the matter.

Fang Lin couldn’t help laughing when he heard it, wasn’t this the very thing he had told Elder Tiankui?

However, from Mr. Long Jiu’s words, it seemed that the Fall Demon Cliff had some connection to the Long Family.

“I have seen the changes at the Fall Demon Cliff with my own eyes, and it was I who informed my master,” Fang Lin stated.

Mr. Long Jiu looked at Fang Lin in surprise, not expecting that the source of the news had started with him.

Thereupon, Fang Lin detailed the events that had occurred at the Fall Demon Cliff to Mr. Long Jiu.

Throughout the narration, Mr. Long Jiu’s expression grew more and more solemn, nodding occasionally.

“Lord Jiu, that is what happened, but I have a doubt; what exactly is the ‘demon’ beneath the Fall Demon Cliff?” Fang Lin asked.

Mr. Long Jiu pondered for a moment, appearing hesitant, for after all, the matter was a secret buried by the Alchemy Tao families led by the Long Family.

But since the Fall Demon Cliff had changed and Fang Lin was an eyewitness, and furthermore, a disciple of Elder Tiankui, there was no harm in telling him.

Mr. Long Jiu then shared with Fang Lin a secret about the Alchemy Tao families from a thousand years ago.

It turned out that a thousand years ago in the Long Family, an extremely formidable person named Long Jiankong emerged. An uncommon alchemy genius, he reached the realm of Master of Pill at twenty-five, shocking the entire Alchemy Tao World at the time.

But Long Jiankong had questionable morals and relied on clandestine methods to steal key Pill Refining Skills from various Alchemy Tao families.

When the scandal was exposed, the furious Alchemy Tao families united in their dissatisfaction with the Long Family.

Even though the Long Family was the leader of the Alchemy Tao families, they could not shield or indulge Long Jiankong. They stripped him of his Martial Arts cultivation and imprisoned him, thus appeasing the anger of the other Alchemy Tao families.

However, the incident did not end there. Long Jiankong was prepared, and before his Martial Meridian was destroyed, he refined a Demon Pill.

Even the Long Family did not know how the Demon Pill was made. After taking it, Long Jiankong transformed into a demon with the True Demon Body, changing from man to demon.

The demonized Long Jiankong, devoid of all human nature, unleashed his mighty demonic power, knowing only slaughter.

Many Alchemy Tao families suffered massacre at his hands, with heavy casualties, and the demon disaster swept across the Nine Countries.

To quell the disaster, the mightiest from the Long Family came forth, joining hands with people from other Alchemy Tao families and ultimately casting Long Jiankong down the Fall Demon Cliff.
