The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1310 - Chapter 1310 Chapter 1409 Torture

Chapter 1310: Chapter 1409: Torture Chapter 1310: Chapter 1409: Torture Upon hearing Fang Lin’s words, the black-robed woman suddenly looked towards him, fury in her eyes.

“What else do you want me to do?” the black-robed woman asked, her tone slightly unpleasant.

Fang Lin nodded slightly, “You are the guardian of this place, the master here, naturally, I seek your assistance.”

“I have already helped you once,” the black-robed woman said coldly.

“Helping once is help, helping twice is also help; what’s wrong with helping a few more times?” Fang Lin said with a smile, looking somewhat shameless.

“I will only help you once,” the black-robed woman said, not wanting to waste another word on Fang Lin, and turned to leave.

Fang Lin did not mind; he watched as the figure of the black-robed woman disappeared from his sight.

“Kid, are you giving up on the Fire Spirit Silkworm?” the Old Dried Corpse asked, sounding a bit puzzled.

“Of course not, but asking for it now probably won’t work; let’s not rush,” Fang Lin said, smiling.

“If it really doesn’t work, we’ll take it by force,” the Old Dried Corpse suggested.

Fang Lin nodded, harboring the same thought; if the black-robed woman did not recognize what was good for her and refused to listen to his kind words, he would indeed take it by force and seize the young Fire Spirit Silkworm.

“Hmm? He actually disappeared? Did he already leave the Second Array?” the black-robed woman pressed her hand to the ground, her brow furrowing as she no longer felt Fang Lin’s presence.

“It doesn’t matter, it’s good if this kid leaves. Let’s see how the others deal with him,” the black-robed woman muttered to herself, a trace of interest in her eyes.

Fang Lin, of course, had not left the Second Array. He had not yet found a way to leave this place, and as there were still many things he had not figured out, he was not in a hurry to leave.

Fang Lin entered the Supreme Saint Hall and looked at the emaciated man collapsed on the ground like mire, his face expressionless as if he were looking at a corpse.

The emaciated man’s limbs were all broken by the Demon Puppet, his Spirit Source sealed by the Demon Puppet’s Demonic Qi. At that moment, he was no different from a cripple–the only difference being his stronger vitality.

The emaciated man lay on the ground, revealing a cold smile to Fang Lin, his smile tinged with mockery.

“If you want to torture me, go ahead and do it. It’s best if you could kill me, so that neither of us would waste time,” the emaciated man said, clearly yearning for death and utterly indifferent to his current plight.

With a thought from Fang Lin, two rays of light appeared, pulling up the emaciated man like ropes.

However, since his limbs were broken, his appearance was pitiful, like a marionette being manipulated.

“I’ve dealt with many from Hidden Kill Hall before; that Fire King wanted to kill me but never succeeded. What do you count for?” Fang Lin stood in front of the emaciated man and said indifferently.

“Heh, compared to the Fire King, I am indeed nothing. But if you didn’t have the protection of the Dragon Family Demon, killing you would be easy,” the emaciated man retorted, his words dripping with contempt for Fang Lin.

Fang Lin did not deny it; without the protection of the Demon Puppet, he really had no way to deal with this emaciated man, whose strength was indeed formidable and who specialized in stealth and assassination, making his strikes difficult to guard against.

Unfortunately for the emaciated man, Fang Lin had the monstrously powerful Dragon Family Demon as his puppet–undoubtedly, countless people would envy Fang Lin for that.

“You’re not afraid of physical torture, so I won’t start from there. Let me give you a pill first, to taste its flavor.” Fang Lin spoke as he produced a jade bottle in his hand.

“Fang Lin, I’ve often heard of your reputation, the youngest Master of Alchemy in the Pill Alliance, the most outstanding young Pill Refiner in the Nine Countries. With such a renowned name, the pills you refine must be good,” the emaciated man said, looking as though he was casually chatting with Fang Lin.

Fang Lin gave a slight smile, poured a pill from the jade bottle, which had little fragrance and was a pale blue color. By its appearance alone, it seemed rather ordinary.

“Of course, I rarely refine pills specially for someone. Unfortunately, this pill wasn’t refined by me. I couldn’t be bothered to waste my energy refining a pill for you,” Fang Lin said, flicking his finger and popping the blue pill into the emaciated man’s mouth.

The emaciated man had no time to resist, the pill slid directly into his body, making him cough violently.

“What kind of pill is this?” the emaciated man gasped, asking.

Fang Lin put away the jade bottle and said, “Wait until the pill takes effect, then you’ll know.”

After saying this, Fang Lin left the Supreme Saint Hall without lingering any longer.

After Fang Lin disappeared, the emaciated man’s body was still bound, unable to move, and the pill inside him gradually began to take effect.

Unconsciously, his vision started blurring, and his consciousness also began to wane. Memories from his past surged forth, causing the emaciated man to feel a headache coming on.

“Ah!!!!”

The emaciated man emitted a heart-wrenching scream, looking extremely pained as if he was undergoing immense torture.

In reality, he was not subjected to any physical torture; it was the unnamed pill taking effect, plunging him into his most painful memories.

This pill indeed wasn’t refined by Fang Lin but was obtained from a master from the Seven Seas Taoist Sect.

The pill wasn’t of a high grade, but its effect was peculiar; it forced the person who took it to fall deep into their memories, unable to discern whether they were in reality or in the past.

Normally, people’s most painful memories are hidden in the deepest part of their minds, and this pill made those painful memories erupt continuously, making them relive the pain over and over.

Such an agony, more crippling than physical torture, could easily lead a person with weak willpower to death before the effect of the pill even wore off.

At that moment, the emaciated man found himself trapped in the most painful memories of his past. Even though he was an elite assassin from the Hidden Kill Hall with incredible mental fortitude, he was still human and had painful memories he didn’t want to revisit or face.

Fang Lin had him take this pill to break him down so that he would divulge valuable information.

“What exactly are you?” the middle-aged man in black looked at the huge radish in front of him with interest and asked.

“You’re the thing! I am ginseng, do you know what that is? It’s a sort of highly nourishing treasure from heaven and earth!” the big radish said annoyedly, glaring with small, sleazy eyes.

“You’re not ginseng. You don’t have the spiritual energy of ginseng,” the middle-aged man in black shook his head.

“I’ve told you, I’m not ordinary ginseng. I embody the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and absorb the essence of sun and moon. I am the First Ginseng of Eternity!” the big radish said boastfully.
