The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1136 - Chapter 1136 Chapter 1135 Thriving Day by Day

Chapter 1136: Chapter 1135: Thriving Day by Day Chapter 1136: Chapter 1135: Thriving Day by Day Generally speaking, once someone steps into the realm of a Five Cauldrons Pill Refiner and becomes a Master of Pill, they are not bound by the rules of the Pill Alliance to a great extent, whether they take up high positions in various branches of the Pill Alliance or choose to lead a reclusive life like a wandering crane, no one interferes.

As long as you do not violate any of the more significant decrees of the Pill Alliance, you can essentially live freely within the Alliance.

The Thirty-Two Halls each have several Masters of Pill, but they generally hold key positions in each hall, either as an Elder or a Guest Elder.

In the North Town Hall, which Fang Lin now oversees, there were previously only five Masters of Pill. Among the Thirty-Two Halls, that number was considered small.

Nowadays, four Masters of Pill joined the North Town Hall. Consequently, the number of Masters of Pill in the North Town Hall has reached nine. Along with Fang Lin, the Hall Master, the entire North Town Hall now boasts ten Masters of Pill.

Such a number is relatively large among the Thirty-Two Halls, and essentially no other hall has more Masters of Pill than the North Town Hall now.

Those four Masters of Pill who joined the North Town Hall had always been like wandering cranes within the Pill Alliance and belonged to no particular hall, nor did they hold any senior positions previously.

They were attracted by Fang Lin’s spectacular record of victories against seventeen other hall masters and his reputation as the youngest Master of Pill, which is why these four older Masters decided to seek him out.

These four Masters of Pill were very old, the youngest among them was almost ninety, while the oldest was an impressive one-hundred-and-fifty years old.

Fang Lin welcomed these four elderly Masters warmly instead of shunning them due to their age. He specifically hosted a banquet for the four of them and had a good long chat so they could get to know each other better.

Initially, when these four Masters of Pill arrived at the North Town Hall, they wanted to observe and see if Fang Lin was truly worthy of their allegiance.

Through discussions, Fang Lin impressed these four Masters completely with his insights into Alchemy Tao.

Feeling inspired, these elderly Masters of Pill assured Fang Lin by thumping their chests that they would stay at North Town Hall to assist him in managing its vast affairs and hoped to listen more to his teachings on Pill Refining.

Fang Lin naturally responded with all sorts of pleasant remarks, reassuring them and ensuring they were comfortable staying in the North Town Hall.

Fang Lin joked about it–four Masters of Pill, regardless of their actual levels of capability, were invaluable assets; having more Masters added significantly to the hall’s formidable appearance.

Not only was their number greater, but also the quality, making them momentarily unrivaled among the Thirty-Two Halls.

Initially, due to Fang Lin’s influence, the North Town Hall was already attracting attention. Now, with its greatly increased strength, it drew even more scrutiny from the upper echelons of the Pill Alliance.

Many high-ranking officials of the Pill Alliance marveled that Fang Lin was not only outstanding in his personal capabilities but also quite adept at managing a hall.

Despite Fang Lin having taken over the North Town Hall not long ago, under his leadership, it had shown a rapidly rising trend.

However, some of the upper echelons still doubted Fang Lin’s ability to manage a hall, thinking it was too early to tell and that issues might emerge if more time passed.

But at least for now, Fang Lin was doing well in managing the North Town Hall.

As the head of North Town Hall, Fang Lin had many responsibilities each day. The position stripped him of some freedom and added both restraints and busyness. Nonetheless, having taken over such a vast hall, he must persevere. Securing this position wasn’t easy for Fang Lin; abandoning it halfway was out of the question.

Moreover, in Fang Lin’s future plans, North Town Hall could perfectly serve as a stepping-stone. Using the identity of hall master, he could keep climbing up the ladder, and with Elder Tiankui’s support in the background, reaching the pinnacle of power within the Pill Alliance might not take very long.

By then, obtaining the Phoenix Spirit Jade Branch would become much easier for Fang Lin.

Furthermore, once his position within the Pill Alliance was elevated, he could potentially have the power to expel the Poison Pill Masters, these cancers, from within the Alliance.

Of course, these were long-term thoughts. For now, the priority was to focus on the tasks at hand and strengthen his own capabilities as much as possible.

A month after Fang Lin assumed his position as the Hall Master, Elder Wang, who had been in seclusion for a long time, finally emerged.

Upon exiting seclusion, Elder Wang was utterly perplexed. He had merely gone into seclusion, yet upon returning, he found that not only had the Hall Master changed, but the entire North Town Hall seemed to have transformed, achieving unprecedented prosperity.

Elder Wang knew Fang Lin, but his impression of him remained from the days when Fang Lin had first come to North Town Hall, competing with Ling Zhongtian and others for the position of direct disciple of the hall master.

How had the Hall Master become Fang Lin upon his return? The change was too abrupt.

Fang Lin was still extremely courteous to Elder Wang, considering that he was the most senior elder in North Town Hall. Even Elder Miao, Elder Feng, and Elder Yao maintained respect in front of Elder Wang.

If not for Elder Wang’s sudden seclusion, he would have inevitably taken on the role of Hall Master after Ye Mengxian’s resignation.

Unfortunately, Elder Wang had gone into seclusion at that time, and it was uncertain when he would return. Thus, the position of Hall Master had simply passed him by.

Fortunately, Elder Wang was not someone who prioritized power; most of his energy was entirely devoted to the Alchemy Tao. Therefore, regardless of who held the position of Hall Master, he seldom minded.

When Elder Wang emerged and saw the transformed state of North Town Hall, and heard of everything that had happened during his seclusion, he was greatly astonished.

When Elder Wang learned that Fang Lin had defeated seventeen hall masters, he slammed the table in awe and repeatedly praised Fang Lin.

With Elder Wang out of seclusion, Fang Lin felt much relieved and promptly handed over the duties of conducting pill lectures to Elder Wang.

Conducting pill lectures was extremely time-consuming. Fang Lin, busy with these tasks, found almost no time left for his own cultivation.

Elder Wang was also a seasoned Pill Refiner with the stature of a Master of Pill. His understanding of Alchemy Tao was deeper than that of an ordinary master, making him highly suitable to conduct lectures for pill refiners, and it would not be inferior to Fang Lin’s own lectures.

Elder Wang accepted this task without objection. He had a high seniority within North Town Hall and typically spent his days either in seclusion or refining pills, seldom handling administrative tasks. Thus, conducting pill lectures was not seen as burdensome to him.

One day, a message was transmitted to Fang Lin via the Pill Refiner’s badge.

Fang Lin, who was cultivating at the time, was disrupted by this message. Initially, he wanted to disregard it, but after a while, the Message Transmitting Jade Slip received another message.
