The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1253 - Chapter 1253 Chapter 1352 Refining the Nirvana Pill

Chapter 1253: Chapter 1352: Refining the Nirvana Pill Chapter 1253: Chapter 1352: Refining the Nirvana Pill “What exactly is your identity?” Fang Lin frowned and asked. This mysterious woman was still too vague, only revealing her significant connection with the three sect, yet he still did not know who she was within the three sect.

The mysterious woman just let out a slightly contemptuous cold laugh and then said, “I once wanted to place my hopes on you, but unfortunately, you got away from me. Now you want to know my identity, but you will find out when I free myself.”

As soon as Fang Lin heard this, he knew that this woman would not tell him, and he sighed inwardly before turning to leave the ancient cave.

“Considering the thin thread of fate between you and me, I can give you a chance, “said the mysterious woman. “Let my mark take root within you, and once I am free, I might spare your life and even nurture you into a formidable warrior.” Her words carried a hint of seduction.

Fang Lin paused then, without turning his head, left without being swayed by the woman’s words.

After Fang Lin had gone, the mysterious woman snorted coldly, and the cave quieted down.

A faint golden light suddenly appeared from within the cave, growing stronger until it formed into a Swastika Buddha Seal.

“What’s the situation?” the voice of the mysterious woman rang out, cold and neutral.

“There’s been a slight complication, it will take a longer time.” A man’s voice came from within the Swastika Buddha Seal.

The mysterious woman spoke with dissatisfaction, “How long will it require?”

The Swastika Buddha Seal flickered, seemingly struggling to maintain its form, as the voice within answered, “Three years.”

“What? Three years?” The voice of the mysterious woman rose in surprise and annoyance.

“I underestimated the strength of the one under the sea and also the interference from the two emperors. Managing to get free within three years is already the best outcome,” said the voice from the Swastika Buddha Seal.

A brief silence fell upon the ancient cave, followed by the mysterious woman’s sharp reprimand, “Go away!”

A sigh was heard from within the Swastika Buddha Seal, then the golden light disappeared, and the voice was no longer heard.

…

After leaving the ancient cave, Fang Lin felt very heavy-hearted. Although he had not learned much more from the mysterious woman, the current situation was already very serious, as true masters of the Seven Seas might attack again at any time.

Fang Lin had requested aid from the Pill Alliance several times, but the Pill Alliance really couldn’t spare any manpower, so the South Zodiac King could only put pressure on the Upper Three Countries to send help to Fang Lin.

Because the Qin Emperor and the Yuan Emperor had disappeared, these two countries did not respond much since their internals were also in chaos, which was inevitable given the absence of leadership.

In the end, it was the severely injured Tang Emperor who made a move, dispatching three royal powerhouses from Tang Country to aid Fang Lin in Qian Country.

These three royal powerhouses from Tang Country, all possessing strength comparable to the Eight Great Elders, were the true masters of Tang Country. They were originally prepared to support the war situation within Tang Country, but since no major unforeseen events were expected there for the time being, they were sent to assist. Once the crisis in Qian Country was over, they would immediately return to Tang Country.

Moreover, the Tang Emperor agreeing to send powerhouses was also due to the South Zodiac King and Tang Emperor being carefully informed about the events in Qian Country by Fang Lin. Fang Lin had told the South Zodiac King about the appearance of top-tier experts from the three sect in Qian Country, which led the Tang Emperor to sense something was amiss, fearing that the three sect indeed had some plots, and thus he sent out the powerhouses.

Without these reasons, the Tang Emperor would not have considered sending powerhouses to assist a minor country like Qian Country.

Three strong members of the Tang Country’s royal family traveled day and night, reaching Qian Country nonstop. They met Zhou Meng but did not see Fang Lin.

Although they did not see Fang Lin, the three royal strongmen did not mind. They were there only to guard Qian Country and investigate what the Three Sect truly intended.

If the Three Sect really intended to take major action in Qian Country, then the Nine Countries would respond, and they could not let the Three Sect succeed.

With Fang Lin absent, Zhou Meng naturally became the person in charge, and all the Pill Alliance experts who accompanied him listened to Zhou Meng.

Even the three royal experts from Tang Country showed some respect to Zhou Meng, considering that Zhou Meng’s status and reputation in the Pill Alliance were almost on par with that of the Eight Great Elders, making him one of the more experienced and capable figures in the Pill Alliance.

Zhou Meng was also very resourceful; he secretly gave a good number of Pills and heavenly materials and earthly treasures to the three royal experts. Within just two or three days, Zhou Meng had already become very close to these three royal experts, and their relationship was very good.

As for Fang Lin, he seemed to be completely forgotten by them, and even the three strongmen from Tang Country hardly inquired about him.

Where had Fang Lin gone?

Fang Lin had not left Qian Country, but stayed within the Purple Mist Sect and entered into seclusion.

This so-called seclusion was just an excuse he gave to the outside; what Fang Lin really did was begin to prepare for refining the Nirvana Pill.

According to Fang Lin’s plan, refining the Nirvana Pill would be delayed until his own strength had increased enough to ensure an absolute certainty in refining the Nirvana Pill.

After all, the Nirvana Pill was a sixth-grade Pill, not something that a Master of Pill could refine. Even among those who had reached the Six Cauldrons realm of master pill refiners, only a handful could refine the Nirvana Pill.

This pill had the power to defy natural order. Even if one’s physical body were shattered, it could be reconstructed with the Nirvana Pill.

The difficulty Fang Lin faced in trying to refine the Nirvana Pill was enormous, and even he himself did not have full confidence.

But Fang Lin had no choice, as top experts from the Three Sect had already started to appear outside of Qian Country. Although they had not yet made a move, no one knew when they might strike Qian Country with thunderous force.

With the resources currently at Fang Lin’s disposal, only the Demon Puppet could battle these top experts of the Three Sect. However, if the Demon Puppet were tied down, the other experts from the Three Sect could free up their hands and still cause unthinkable destruction to Qian Country.

As for the three royal strongmen sent from Tang Country, although Fang Lin had not met them personally, he knew that their strength was comparable to that of the Eight Great Elders of the Pill Alliance. If not many experts from the Three Sect arrived, things might be manageable, but if too many came, or if someone above the Spirit Source realm appeared, it would be troublesome.

So, Fang Lin had to pin his hopes on the Old Dried Corpse. As long as the Old Dried Corpse’s physical body was restored, there was a chance it could return to its peak strength of former years. With the Old Dried Corpse’s assistance, no matter how many experts the Three Sect sent, it wouldn’t be a problem.

Therefore, even if Fang Lin was not very confident, he had to try to restore the Old Dried Corpse’s strength.

In a stone chamber, nine Treasure Luminous Cauldrons were set up in front of Fang Lin, along with Four Array Plates placed around it.

These Four Array Plates had been rummaged from the treasure vaults of the Purple Mist Sect, ancient artifacts obtained from outside by the ancestors of the sect and preserved to this day in perfect condition.

When Fang Lin found these four Array Plates, his heart leapt with joy. These were no ordinary items but belonged to ancient Pill Refiners. With these four Array Plates, Fang Lin’s chances of successfully refining the Nirvana Pill would greatly increase.
