The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1221 - Chapter 1221 Chapter 1220 Not Supposed to Be Used Like That

Chapter 1221: Chapter 1220: Not Supposed to Be Used Like That Chapter 1221: Chapter 1220: Not Supposed to Be Used Like That “Do we still need to compare?” Fang Lin asked with a light smile.

Jade Qincheng was silent, a trace of coldness in the depths of her eyes.

As they gathered and dispersed, the blue pill flame remained undying, as if no matter what method Jade Qincheng employed, she could not cause the lotus flower made of blue flame to completely collapse.

Such skill indicated that Fang Lin’s mastery in fire control had reached a level beyond Jade Qincheng’s imagination. Although she was quite confident in her own abilities in fire control, she couldn’t help but see the significant gap between herself and the man before her.

As much as she didn’t want to admit it, the reality was just so. Jade Qincheng couldn’t deny it even if she wanted to.

“You’re very skilled. I concede to you in terms of fire control,” Jade Qincheng said, her tone still relatively calm, but obviously her heart wouldn’t be as tranquil as her voice.

“Well done, Fang Lin!”

“Hahaha! Only Fang Lin could do it!”

“Worthy of being called the Pill Alliance’s number one talent!”

“Don’t get too excited too soon, the real contest will be in pill refining.”

“That’s right, we still need to watch and see.”

…

Cheers erupted from below, as the Pill Alliance had been quite suppressed that day, so much so that Fang Lin’s victory in fire control over Jade Qincheng had already ignited excitement among many attendees.

Of course, a considerable number of people remained calm, not getting too excited just yet. After all, the competition hadn’t truly begun, and battling with flames was just an appetizer. Although it did have a certain influence on pill refining, it didn’t mean Fang Lin was assured victory.

The people of the Seven Seas Taoist Sect found it impossible to smile at this moment. They couldn’t imagine what kind of freak Fang Lin was, carrying four types of Soul Commanding Pill Fire was scary enough, yet his mastery over fire control was also unfathomably profound.

“What do you think? Can you compare with him?” Qian Qingzi glanced at Hui Xuzi next to him and asked.

Among the many pill refiners in the sect, Hui Xuzi was also known for his strong fire control skills, and he was one of the few who possessed two types of Soul Commanding Pill Fire.

Hui Xuzi shook his head and said with a serious expression, “The gap is huge.”

Qian Qingzi was not surprised. They were both talents in the Alchemy Tao and had sharp insights. It was evident to all that Fang Lin’s mastery of fire control was at least as strong as that of the older generation of pill refiners, if not stronger.

“How come the Pill Alliance did not allow such a talent to compete earlier?” Qian Qingzi said aloud.

“It’s merely that his fire control mastery is profound. The key lies in the pill refining skills. In this competition, Sister Yu still holds a great chance of winning,” Hui Xuzi said.

Qian Qingzi nodded; he shared the same thought.

“Taoist Chongyun, what do you think of Fang Lin’s fire control skills? Are they good enough to catch your discerning eye?” Elder Tianjun looked sideways at Chongyun’s grim face and intentionally asked this question.

Taoist Chongyun snorted and did not deign to respond to Elder Tianjun, obviously in a foul mood.

Elder Tianjun chuckled, feeling particularly contented to see Taoist Chongyun upset, especially since he had been mocking the Pill Alliance earlier.

On the high platform, Fang Lin and Jade Qincheng began their official pill refining.

The process of refining the Cloud Dream Pill was quite complicated, requiring many ingredients, including several that were inimical in nature, making the sequence of their addition crucial. Any mistake could lead to a conflict of medicinal properties and result in a failed refinement.

Jade Qincheng proceeded methodically, her movements extremely skilled as she placed the ingredients to refine the Cloud Dream Pill one by one into the pill furnace.

After glancing at Jade Qincheng, Fang Lin smiled faintly, and then he channeled all the ingredients for the Cloud Dream Pill into the pill furnace.

“Here it comes! Fang Lin’s signature move that first made him famous is coming!”

“Shaking Three Mountains! It must be Shaking Three Mountains!”

“So exciting, to finally witness it with my own eyes!”

“Hahaha, those Barbarians from the Seven Seas will surely be scared out of their wits.”

****

Seeing Fang Lin’s actions, none of the Pill Refiners from the Pill Alliance found it strange, nor did anyone question it, because they all knew that Fang Lin had mastered the ancient and lost Ancient Alchemy Skill, Shaking Three Mountains, which could greatly reduce the time for Pill Refining, and could even affect the opponent’s Pill Refining process or directly destroy it. It was very domineering.

However, many experienced Pill Refiners furrowed their brows at Fang Lin’s actions.

It was good that Fang Lin could use Shaking Three Mountains, but the refinement of the Cloud Dream Pill was somewhat special because some herbs would cause medicinal conflicts. If Shaking Three Mountains was directly applied, how would the issue of conflicting medicinal properties be solved?

“It shouldn’t be, could it be that Fang Lin has forgotten this point?”

“Refining Cloud Dream Pill isn’t quite suitable for using Shaking Three Mountains.”

“This guy had better not make such a grave mistake.”

****

At the Seven Seas Taoist Sect, upon seeing Fang Lin throw the herbs directly into the Pill Furnace, everyone was stunned, followed by a roar of laughter.

“Who refines pills like that? Absolutely hilarious.”

“Even a novice who has just started Pill Refining wouldn’t make such a mistake.”

“What’s there to compare, Sister Yu is guaranteed to win against such a person.”

****

Jade Qincheng was also looking at Fang Lin, her eyes filled with confusion as she couldn’t comprehend what Fang Lin was trying to do.

“Why are you looking at me? Could it be that you’re interested in me?” Fang Lin suddenly blurted out.

Jade Qincheng paused for a moment, then smiled sweetly, clearly not minding at all.

After throwing all the herbs into the Pill Furnace, Fang Lin didn’t proceed with the next step and instead sat down cross-legged and began meditating.

Despite her confusion, Jade Qincheng wasn’t delaying her own task at all and didn’t hide her skills. She directly applied the Waves of Tenfold Flame that she had used in her previous match against Long Zhixin.

Boom~~~

Amidst the roaring flames, tenfold waves of fire were formed, each wave surging higher than the last, creating a spectacular scene.

Some of the herbs for the Cloud Dream Pill were placed within the first layer of the flame waves, while those that were prone to conflict were left inside the Pill Furnace for individual refinement.

Fang Lin opened his eyes and looked at the magnificent tenfold waves of flames with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Beyond the surprise, Fang Lin’s expression quickly turned odd.

Jade Qincheng didn’t notice Fang Lin’s expression; she was fully focused on Pill Refining, applying the Waves of Tenfold Flame while refining the various herbs in the Pill Furnace, multitasking without any conflict, looking very smooth.

With Jade Qincheng’s abilities, she could even multitask with three things, but that would put a great strain on her and would quickly exhaust her.

After watching for a while, Fang Lin sighed and couldn’t help but say, “Actually, Waves of Tenfold Flame aren’t meant to be used this way.”
