Chapter 1371 - Chapter 1371 Chapter 1469 Burn Everything

Chapter 1371: Chapter 1469: Burn Everything Chapter 1371: Chapter 1469: Burn Everything “What did you say?” the elder asked Fang Lin, a hint of confusion in his gaze.

Fang Lin looked composed as he replied, “I heard you’re in need of pills?”

Upon hearing this, the elder’s expression took on a playful look, revealing a cold smirk, “Oh? Do you know what kind of pills I need?”

Fang Lin smiled. “If I could provide the pills you need, could we perhaps cooperate?”

The elder narrowed his eyes slightly. “That might not be impossible.”

“Good, since cooperation is possible, then tell me, what pills do you need?” Fang Lin asked.

The elder took a long look at Fang Lin and said, “I need pills that can extend one’s lifespan, preferably fifth grade or higher. Do you have any?”

Fang Lin’s smile grew even broader upon hearing this. “Quite coincidentally, I happen to have a batch of Pine Crane Pills on me.”

As he spoke, Fang Lin reached into his Nine Palace Bag and took out a jade bottle.

Fang Lin opened the bottle, and immediately, the aroma of the elixir filled the air. The elder sniffed this fragrant scent and instantly brightened up, his eyes revealing an unmistakable shade of greed.

“These are indeed Pine Crane Pills! Boy, give them to me now!” said the elder, unable to contain his eagerness, the greed in his eyes unmasked.

Fang Lin held the jade bottle firmly in hand. “There are seven Pine Crane Pills in this bottle, but if I give them to you, what benefits could you offer me in return?”

The elder stepped forward, his eyes unable to stray from the bottle, and hurriedly said, “Give me that bottle of Pine Crane Pills, and I won’t trouble you any longer. You’re free to do whatever you wish here.”

Fang Lin just smiled, saying nothing.

He could see, this old fellow was desperately craving the lifespan-extending pills, probably because his own life wasn’t all that long.

Fortunately, Fang Lin was a Pill Refiner, and had recently refined quite a few pills, some of which could extend lifespan. And there were plenty of them. If word got out, countless older Martial Artists from the Nine Countries would come begging Fang Lin for pills.

“First, I’ll ask you some questions. If you answer them truthfully, I’ll give you the bottle of Pine Crane Pills,” Fang Lin proposed his condition.

“As long as it doesn’t concern the secrets of us guardians, ask whatever you want,” the elder said.

Fang Lin immediately asked, “Have you ever seen a ginseng with arms, legs, and a human face, one that can speak?”

Upon hearing this, the elder showed a pondering expression and said, “I think there is such a thing. Someone passed through here once, used a Pill Furnace for refining pills, and in that Pill Furnace, there was a ginseng that could talk. It looked rather… lascivious.”

Fang Lin knew at once that it must be the millennium Corpse Ginseng since its most distinctive trait was being lascivious.

But hearing that someone had used the millennium Corpse Ginseng for pill refining made Fang Lin a bit anxious. Even though he knew Old Pickle was impervious to blades and flames, there would be trouble if it were truly refined by some special means.

This Old Pickle, although unreliable, with an ever-dirty mouth, cowardly, and particularly lascivious, had been around Fang Lin for so long. Fang Lin could beat it, but no one else was allowed.

“What happened later? Where did that person go? Is the ginseng still there?” Fang Lin asked again.

But the elder did not answer; instead, he stared at the jade bottle in Fang Lin’s hand. His intention was clear: give him the pills first, then he would answer Fang Lin’s questions.

Fang Lin was not stingy at all, he directly took out two Pine Crane Pills and flicked them towards the old man with his fingers.

The old man received the pills and examined them carefully, confirming without a doubt they were Pine Crane Pills. He was visibly overjoyed and swallowed both pills right away.

“You’ve eaten the pills now, can you tell me?” Fang Lin urged, his gaze fixed on the old coot, fearing he would cut and run now that he had the pills, leaving Fang Lin with no way to find him.

Fortunately, the old coot seemed to covet the remaining Pine Crane Pills in Fang Lin’s hand and did not run away after eating. He said, “That person left more than ten days ago, he found the Array Eye, and the Corpse Ginseng is still alive.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Lin breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the millennium Corpse Ginseng was still there, that was fine. But it seemed that person had already taken the Corpse Ginseng into the next array.

“Tell me where the Array Eye is, I need to go to the next array,” Fang Lin demanded.

The elder chortled, “Well, it’s not impossible, but you think you can learn where the Array Eye is just for two Pine Crane Pills? Life is not so cheap.”

Fang Lin did not hesitate, and tossed a bottle of Pine Crane Pills over without even blinking an eye.

The old man caught the jade bottle, opened it to have a look, and saw that there were indeed five more Pine Crane Pills inside. His face nearly cracked with his broad smile.

“Kid, even with this bottle of Pine Crane Pills, the matter of the Array Eye is of great importance, I can’t just tell you so easily,” said the old man after taking the pills.

Upon hearing this, coldness flashed across Fang Lin’s face, “Going back on your word after taking my things? Listen here, old geezer, these pills aren’t so easy to take. You’d better tell me where the Array Eye is, or I’ll turn this place upside down.”

The old man just sneered coldly and his figure vanished in an instant.

Fury sparked in Fang Lin’s eyes. The old coot actually dared to run off with his pills. Fang Lin couldn’t stand for it any longer.

“Old bastard, you’re asking for it!” Fang Lin was livid with anger, not wanting to waste any time here, yet this old coot was deliberately opposing him.

Without another word, Fang Lin brought out four Ancient Lamps of Flame God, and released a skyful of flames without restraint, letting the fire spread in all directions.

Fang Lin intended to burn everything here to the ground; he didn’t believe the old coot could stand by and watch everything turn to ashes without showing up.

The fire spread rapidly; the flames within the Ancient Lamp of Flame God were no ordinary fire, born from the heavens themselves, a terrifying Skyfire.

Moreover, all four Ancient Lamps of Flame God had absorbed enough Fire Power from a sea of magma, making them even more potent than before.

At that moment, flames covered the surroundings; the earth was ignited with raging fires everywhere. Anything that could burn was devoured by the flames.

Fang Lin stood above the sky, coldly watching it all. Even if there were precious and rare herbs on the ground, he didn’t care, ready to burn everything to ash.

This blaze caused trouble even for those outsiders who were in the vicinity.

“What do you think you’re doing, young man?” A figure appeared, a brawny middle-aged man with rough features and a strong presence, who directly charged towards Fang Lin.

Fang Lin didn’t even glance at him as he shouted, “Scram!”

The middle-aged man was instantly enraged, his fists flew out simultaneously, thundering towards Fang Lin.

The Demon Puppet moved quickly, appearing right in front of the middle-aged man. With a slap, the man’s head was completely obliterated.
