The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1241 - Chapter 1241 Chapter 1240 Current Situation of Purple Mist

Chapter 1241: Chapter 1240: Current Situation of Purple Mist Chapter 1241: Chapter 1240: Current Situation of Purple Mist “If Qing Nation and Yuan Country really have already sent people, and they haven’t arrived yet, it’s either that Qing and Yuan are bluffing, or something has happened to their envoys, preventing them from reaching the Lower Three Kingdoms,” Han Luoyun said with a somewhat grave look upon hearing Fang Lin’s words.

Fang Lin nodded, Han Luoyun was right, there could only be these two possibilities.

“What are your plans?” Han Luoyun asked, looking at Fang Lin.

Fang Lin sighed, “Since the reinforcements from Qing Nation and Yuan Country have not arrived, there’s not much we can do for Yun and Meng countries, we can only defend Qian Country.”

“However, once Yun and Meng countries fall, Qian Country will also face great difficulties. If Qian Country can’t be preserved, what then?” Han Luoyun asked further.

Fang Lin looked at Han Luoyun, “Sect Master, there’s a saying that goes well, ‘When the ship reaches the bridge, it will straighten itself out.'”

Han Luoyun smiled, “That’s also true, it’s useless to talk about it now. Nobody knows how things will develop.”

“You don’t need to worry, Sect Master. Even if Qian Country ultimately can’t be defended, I can still safeguard the Purple Mist Sect,” Fang Lin said.

Han Luoyun laughed, “I have heard that you have a very powerful puppet in your hands that can fight the Pill Alliance Heavenly King. Is that true or false?”

The story of Fang Lin overturning the Inspection Hall and battling the Heavenly King with the Dragon Family Demon had already spread throughout the Nine Countries, and even within the Lower Three Kingdoms, it was widely known.

As the Purple Mist Sect Master, Han Luoyun naturally had heard of Fang Lin’s various feats, and her current questioning was tinged with a bit of curiosity.

Fang Lin nodded, “Indeed, there is a puppet that is my trump card. As long as this puppet exists, unless the Seven Seas Three Sects send an extremely top-notch expert, there’s no need to fear.”

Although Han Luoyun was curious, she only asked this much and didn’t probe any deeper.

Being in the Purple Mist Sect, Fang Lin inevitably had to meet some old acquaintances from the past.

The Han Sisters were not present, having been sent out of Qian Country by Han Luoyun long ago. Besides them, most of the people Fang Lin knew from the past were still within the Purple Mist Sect.

The current head of the Pill Sect was no longer Yan Zhengfeng, since he was too old to manage the Pill Sect with much vigor.

Now, it was Mu Yan who assumed the position of head of the Pill Sect.

Mu Yan was a Pill Sect elder before and over these few years had gained enough qualifications and ability to take on the chief position of the Pill Sect.

Before Yan Zhengfeng stepped down from the position, he recommended Mu Yan to Han Luoyun, and after his retirement, Mu Yan smoothly took over as the head of the Pill Sect.

When Fang Lin first joined the Pill Sect, Mu Yan took good care of him and was very optimistic about Fang Lin. She even clashed with the then head of the Pill Sect, Gu Daofeng, on matters concerning Fang Lin and was punished by Gu Daofeng.

Now that Mu Yan has become the head of the Pill Sect, she has managed to administer the whole Pill Sect in a well-organized manner, especially in handling those Pill Sect elders, where Mu Yan truly had a knack.

Because Mu Yan had also served as an elder, she was well aware that during Gu Daofeng’s tenure, the relationship between the Pill Sect elders and some disciples was close, and they would often help certain disciples oppress other disciples.

Such incidents had become rare after Yan Zhengfeng assumed the position of chief, but they still occurred in secret to some extent, just not as severely as before.

The moment Mu Yan took charge, she acted decisively, stripping several elders of their titles and immediately issued a strict order that elders and disciples should not have excessively close contact.

As a result, the atmosphere in the entire Pill Sect had improved significantly compared to the past; less powerful disciples no longer had to worry about being bullied, and those with true talent and ability no longer had to fear being suppressed.

In recent years, several capable figures emerged in the field of alchemy, having been greatly nurtured by Mu Yan.

Beyond Mu Yan, there was another Pill Sect elder who had taken good care of Fang Lin from the beginning, and was the first person Fang Lin met upon arriving at the Purple Mist Sect–Meng Wuyou.

Meng Wuyou still served as an elder of the Pill Sect, but he no longer involved himself much in the affairs of the sect, immersed in his alchemy research, often unseen for extended periods.

When Fang Lin went to see Meng Wuyou, the latter was in the midst of pill refining, and naturally, he was delighted by Fang Lin’s visit.

Fang Lin held Meng Wuyou and Mu Yan in high esteem; one could say that they had been benefactors, recognizing his potential. Without them, Fang Lin’s initial time in the Pill Sect would have been much more difficult.

Meng Wuyou was passionately devoted to alchemy. Seeing this, Fang Lin taught him the Shaking Three Mountains technique and had him pass it on to those disciples of the Pill Sect who were talented and of good character.

This was something Fang Lin had wanted to do for a long time, to allow more pill refiners to learn advanced alchemy.

Fang Lin did not entrust the Shaking Three Mountains cultivation method to the Pill Alliance because he felt the alliance was too mixed, and he feared it could be learned by those with ill intentions, especially the poison pill masters. Fang Lin certainly did not want the Shaking Three Mountains to fall into such hands.

However, at the Purple Mist Pill Sect, such concerns did not exist. This place was where Fang Lin started, and he felt a certain sentimentality for it. Having Meng Wuyou learn and then pass on the Shaking Three Mountains to the Pill Sect disciples filled Fang Lin with joy.

Apart from the elders, Fang Lin’s former friends, such as Xu Shangao, Wu Mengsheng, and Lu Xiaoqing, had made names for themselves within the Purple Mist Sect and were considered among the more outstanding disciples, particularly Xu Shangao, who had become one of the most distinguished disciples in the Pill Sect.

No one anticipated that Xu Shangao would have such a massive breakthrough in recent years. Previously, he had been a very inconspicuous presence in the Pill Sect, and it was only after befriending Fang Lin that he started to change.

Now, Xu Shangao had revealed his concealed talent, advancing by leaps and bounds in the path of alchemy, surpassing the so-called Four Elites of Pill Sect from his earlier days.

Fang Lin had seen Xu Shangao’s potential from the beginning. Although Xu Shangao seemed ordinary when they first met, with average talent, he was the kind that blossomed after accumulating enough experience, shining once he had garnered sufficient mastery.

Today, Xu Shangao was seen by many as the future hope of the Pill Sect, and there was a good chance he might eventually take on the significant responsibility of leading the sect as the chief.

When Fang Lin met Xu Shangao, both vividly remembered the events they had gone through. Although it had only been a few years, their shared experiences were still very much alive in their memory, and recalling them was quite emotional.

As for the once-mentioned Four Elites of Pill Sect, they had long since faded from conversation. One of them, Ouyang Jing, had strained relations with the Purple Mist Sect due to Gu Daofeng’s suppression and was now fully committed to the Pill Alliance within Qian Country, effectively severing ties with the Purple Mist Sect.

Another Elite, Yu Qiufan, met his fate in the Endless Dungeon, not surviving the ordeal.

Meng Chaoyang, who had a good relationship with Fang Lin, was no longer at the Purple Mist Sect either, having gone to study the ways of alchemy in the Pill Alliance of Ling Country, one of the Middle Three Kingdoms.

The only one among the Elites who remained in the Purple Mist Sect was Ding Xuanji, who had some previous disagreements with Fang Lin.
