The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1254 - Chapter 1254 Chapter 1353 The Master is Coming

Chapter 1254: Chapter 1353: The Master is Coming Chapter 1254: Chapter 1353: The Master is Coming The Four Array Plates could significantly enhance Fang Lin’s success rate in refining the Nirvana Pill, but how much they actually increased his chances remained uncertain to him, as refining the Nirvana Pill at his current cultivation level was indeed a bit of a stretch.

Beyond the Four Array Plates, Fang Lin had also prepared other contingencies, though he truly hoped he wouldn’t need to resort to them.

Fang Lin had collected all the necessary ingredients for the Nirvana Pill, but the ingredients he had could only support one attempt at refining the Nirvana Pill. If this attempt failed, he wasn’t sure when he could gather enough materials again.

Thus, whether for Fang Lin or for the Old Dried Corpse, Jin Zhulong, this pill-refining session was of utmost importance. They could only succeed; failure was not an option.

Fang Lin looked at the crystal-clear Nine Treasure Luminous Cauldron with a solemn expression, feeling immense pressure.

In his previous life, the Nirvana Pill was nothing impressive and was easily concocted. However, now, the Nirvana Pill seemed far too difficult for him. Without sufficient cultivation level to back him up, even if his skills were unmatched, he would still face substantial limitations.

This was like a child holding a divine weapon, yet still being easily knocked down by a mature man.

With his inadequate Martial Arts realm, Fang Lin was unable to fully exhibit his sublime mastery of Alchemy Tao. If he had enough cultivation, refining any pill wouldn’t be an issue at all.

“Boy, tell me honestly, what are your chances?” the Old Dried Corpse asked. This was a critical pill-refining session related to his full recovery, and he was exceptionally nervous.

Fang Lin pursed his lips and said, “A fifty percent chance.”

Upon hearing this, the Old Dried Corpse felt somewhat helpless. Although fifty percent didn’t sound too low, it wasn’t high either and sounded quite risky.

“What if you fail?” the Old Dried Corpse asked further.

Fang Lin replied irritably, “You’re thinking about failure before we’ve even started refining? Are you cursing me or what?”

The Old Dried Corpse quickly shut up, feeling a bit embarrassed. Even though his cultivation level was far superior to Fang Lin’s at this moment, he still needed to keep Fang Lin in good spirits.

Fang Lin took a deep breath, his eyes regaining their resolve. He had refined countless pills in his previous life and faced many failures. Even now, with only a fifty percent chance, Fang Lin didn’t hesitate at all.

In terms of pill refining skills, Fang Lin had already reached an extraordinary level, and in terms of mental state during refining, he had attained a terrifyingly advanced stage.

No external factor could affect Fang Lin while he was in his pill-refining state; no one could cause emotional fluctuations in him during the process.

As for harboring doubts about himself, that was even more impossible. The pride and confidence of a Pill Sovereign were far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

Outside the stone chamber, Han Luoyun personally guarded the place. He was the only one who knew Fang Lin was refining a pill, although he was unaware of which pill it was. Yet, Han Luoyun knew that the pill Fang Lin intended to refine was crucial and must be protected to prevent any disturbance to Fang Lin.

Worries marked Han Luoyun’s face. Fang Lin had informed him about the mysterious woman concealed within the ancient cave underneath the Purple Mist Sect’s stele, which greatly shocked him.

As the Purple Mist Sect Master, Han Luoyun had no idea that a mysterious woman from an ancient era was suppressed within the Purple Mist Sect, and that she had close ties to the three sects, which was somewhat unbelievable to him.

But Han Luoyun knew Fang Lin well, and the recent appearances of the experts from the three sects also confirmed the truth of Fang Lin’s words.

Considering this, one could imagine how anxious Han Luoyun was.

If the experts from the three sects really came to rescue this mysterious woman, Purple Mist Sect would undoubtedly be the first to suffer.

Han Luoyun had also perused those ancient tomes of the Purple Mist Sect, seeking clues about the mysterious woman in the ancient cave.

And indeed, Han Luoyun found something. In a certain fragmented ancient scroll, there were notes left by the first generation ancestors of the Purple Mist Sect that mentioned a phrase. It seemed that the Purple Mist Sect was established here for the purpose of guarding a person.

That ancient scroll was too fragmented and old, and the phrase was also very vague. After being passed down from generation to generation of the Purple Mist Sect, it had been completely forgotten.

If Han Luoyun hadn’t turned every book upside down, he probably would never have found this ancient scroll.

If a few more years had passed, this ancient scroll would probably have been completely destroyed.

But even after finding this ancient scroll and seeing these fragments of notes, it was of no significance.

“If Qian Country no longer exists, I fear Purple Mist too would hardly survive on its own.” Han Luoyun sighed deeply in his heart, filled with worries.

Outside the borders of Qian Country, atop a solitary peak.

The young man who had previously saved the monk in the golden robe appeared again, holding a longsword, his gaze calmly fixed in the direction of Qian Country.

The monk in the golden robe appeared behind him, and besides him, there was also a middle-aged man dressed in white, weather-beaten, with a disheveled beard and a strong smell of alcohol.

This middle-aged man held a liquor gourd in his hand, his face full of drunkenness, showing no signs of a martial master, yet he was able to stand here alongside the other two. Clearly, he too was a top-notch expert among the Seven Seas and the three sects.

“I’m surprised you would come here,” the young man turned and looked at the middle-aged man, saying.

The middle-aged man chuckled, “I didn’t want to come here myself, but it’s beyond my control. Once the matter is over, I’ll return to the Seven Seas immediately and won’t partake in any more affairs.”

“As you wish, but since you are here, you must contribute your part and not slack off,” the young man said, his gaze directly meeting that of the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked disdainful: “And what can you do if I do not exert myself?”

“Venerable, we are all here for the three sects, and I hope we can cooperate wholeheartedly,” the monk, whose injuries had healed, said.

The middle-aged man laughed lightly, took a sip of his liquor, and then turned and walked away, drifting off like a light cloud carried by the wind.

“Taoist Sect sending this man here is really puzzling. Could it be that the Taoist Sect does not care about the matters here?” the young man frowned and said.

The monk in the golden robe placed his palms together, his demeanor majestic: “Besides this man, other people from the Taoist Sect will also arrive.”

Curious, the young man asked, “Who?”

The monk said, “The Three Heroes of Tao Sky.”

Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flitted across the young man’s eyes, and he nodded.

“With the Three Heroes of Tao Sky coming, even if that man does not exert himself, there won’t be any problems here,” the young man said.

ps: The fifth update, finally done. I need to step out tomorrow, so updates will be late, but there won’t be fewer. I’ve been a bit busier recently. I want to focus on writing, but things are beyond my control.
