The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1356 - Chapter 1356 Chapter 1454 Calculating Against Each Other

Chapter 1356: Chapter 1454: Calculating Against Each Other Chapter 1356: Chapter 1454: Calculating Against Each Other “You let him go just like that? That doesn’t seem like your style at all,” Old Dried Corpse said, quite surprised.

Fang Lin revealed a faint smile, “Of course it wasn’t that easy.”

“I knew you were up to no good,” Old Dried Corpse chuckled.

Fang Lin turned and went to the location where the Holy Palace inheritance was suppressed. Looking at the drifting white light, a trace of joy appeared on Fang Lin’s face.

To inherit from the Supreme Saint Hall, one needed to gather twelve parts to obtain the Supreme Divine Treasure and acquire the power left behind by Martial Lord Mo Shouhe.

Although Fang Lin did not know if this was true or false, he assumed there was some significance to Mo Shouhe’s arrangements. Regardless, Fang Lin had to obtain the Supreme Divine Treasure, not only for Mo Shouhe’s power but also to uncover the unknown secrets of the past.

Now, Fang Lin needed to acquire twelve parts of the Holy Palace inheritance and unite them within himself.

This Holy Palace inheritance from Qin Guanyue was the third part Fang Lin had obtained. Once absorbed, he would, like Juechen, possess three parts of the Holy Palace inheritance.

Absorbing the Holy Palace inheritance was naturally not a problem; Fang Lin had done it twice before and was completely familiar with the process.

While Fang Lin was absorbing the Holy Palace inheritance, Qin Guanyue, who had escaped, did not immediately go to find Yin Wuyan but found a secluded place to heal himself first.

Having lost his Holy Palace inheritance, Qin Guanyue had effectively lost half of his life. Though his realm had not receded, it was precarious. If he delayed treating his injuries, he might fall to the eighth level of Spirit Bone or even lower.

Qin Guanyue sat cross-legged in a cave. Outside the cave, there was a Taoist Sect array deployed by him that concealed his presence to prevent detection.

“Although losing the Holy Palace inheritance is regrettable, at least I preserved my life. I will eventually make him pay for this,” Qin Guanyue took the Pills and silently healed, harboring deep resentment towards Fang Lin.

“While losing the Holy Palace inheritance is unfortunate, I am not overly reliant on it. As long as I fully grasp the Nine-character True Words, I can still overpower Fang Lin,” Qin Guanyue thought secretly to himself.

Had it been someone else, they might have been completely disheartened by such a blow and lost all confidence, precipitously falling from grace.

But Qin Guanyue was different; he was the sole disciple of Cangyunzi in his lifetime and had exceptional character and qualifications. Even under such a blow, he wouldn’t fall into despair.

Moreover, although Qin Guanyue hated Fang Lin, hate had not completely consumed him. He remained very calm, knew what he should do at the moment, and was not in a rush to seek revenge against Fang Lin.

On another front, Yin Wuyan, Juechen, and the woman from the Hidden Kill Hall were seeking another ally.

The trio, UglyMonster, together thought they had a good chance to eliminate Fang Lin.

But as it wasn’t a guaranteed success, after much consideration, they decided to seek another partner to gang up on Fang Lin.

The ally they sought was the guardian of this lava realm, the Ten-thousand-year Fire Spirit, previously severely injured by the Demon Puppet.

The Ten-thousand-year Fire Spirit’s flame core was damaged, and its injuries were severe; therefore, it had not launched any attacks on newcomers since then.

Now, with the Ten-thousand-year Fire Spirit’s help, the chances of killing Fang Lin were much higher, almost ensuring Fang Lin had no way to survive.

However, it was not easy for Juechen’s trio to find the Ten-thousand-year Fire Spirit. It seemed to have been frightened by the Demon Puppet and did not dare to show itself, completely lacking its previous arrogance.

After several days of searching, ultimately it was Yin Wuyan who thought of a solution.

Because the Ten-thousand-year Fire Spirit was the guardian here and because it was a fire essence, as long as there was the presence of Fire Power, the Fire Spirit could manifest avatars and sense every movement in this magma land.

Yin Wuyan and the others had searched for a long time without success, so they went directly into a volcano and shared their thoughts with the magma.

At first, there was no response, but eventually, the Fire Spirit did appear, though it was only an avatar formed from the magma.

“Do you want to besiege that kid?” the Fire Spirit, taking the form of a young man, asked with a wary look in its eyes.

“Exactly, with our combined forces, this boy will undoubtedly die,” a woman from Hidden Kill Hall said.

The Fire Spirit sneered, “Setting aside that kid’s strength, his puppet is so powerful. Do you have a way to deal with it?”

The woman from Hidden Kill Hall immediately presented the grotesque demon creature and said to the Fire Spirit, “As long as the puppet is delayed for a moment, we can kill Fang Lin.”

The Fire Spirit looked at the grotesque demon creature, its face filled with shock. The demon’s appearance was too hideous to mention; even a glimpse made one feel nauseous, not to mention the overwhelmingly powerful aura emanating from it.

Nevertheless, the Fire Spirit did not immediately agree.

After all, it was the guardian here, and its perspective on issues differed from that of outsiders like Yin Wuyan.

Yin Wuyan and the others wanted to kill Fang Lin, whereas the Fire Spirit’s idea was to eliminate all outsiders.

What the Fire Spirit worried about was whether these outsiders might set traps to scheme against it, the guardian.

This was not an impossibility. In the Fire Spirit’s opinion, all these outsiders wanted to leave this place to explore the next formation, and the only way to move on to the next formation was through it, the guardian.

Though not human, the Fire Spirit had lived for ten thousand years. Even a pig, if it lived for ten thousand years, could become a demon.

What’s more, the Fire Spirit was a naturally spiritual being, with wisdom never less than that of humans.

“I can agree to help you, but I will not take immediate action. I need to be sure you three really want to go against that kid before deciding whether to intervene or not,” the Fire Spirit said. After these words, its avatar immediately disappeared, no longer engaging in further communication and appearing extremely cautious.

“This guy, really cautious,” Yin Wuyan said with some disdain.

“It’s not surprising, given that it is the guardian of this place, but now we just need to find Fang Lin, and the Fire Spirit should assist us when the time comes,” the woman from Hidden Kill Hall said.

“The Holy Palace inheritance on Fang Lin must belong to me,” Juechen said.

Yin Wuyan snorted, and the woman from Hidden Kill Hall simply smiled and said, “Naturally, neither Miss Yin nor I are inheritors of the Holy Palace, so Fang Lin’s inheritance naturally belongs to you.”

Juechen didn’t say much, as he valued the Holy Palace inheritance the most.

****

Inside the Supreme Saint Hall, Fang Lin had already fully assimilated Qin Guanyue’s inheritance, possessing three parts of the Holy Palace heritage.

Meanwhile, Qin Guanyue, who had been healing for several days, left the cave, wanting to find Yin Wuyan and meet up with him.

“It’s about time, it’s also time to go out and do something,” Fang Lin opened his eyes, a smile playing on his lips.
