The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1373 - Chapter 1373 Chapter 1471 Who Are You

Chapter 1373: Chapter 1471: Who Are You? Chapter 1373: Chapter 1471: Who Are You? All was silent, and the night seemed everlasting.

This place was filled with desolation and dead silence. The night sky hung high above, and all that met the eye was barrenness.

There were no mountains, no lakes, and certainly no plants or animals; it seemed the only thing that existed here was the patch of yellow earth beneath their feet.

Fang Lin stood upon this desolate and lifeless land, his expression slightly bewildered, obviously not expecting to find himself in such a world.

“It seems there is no nature’s spiritual energy here, not a trace of power to absorb,” Fang Lin said, extending his hand to feel around, then frowning.

After walking forward for a while, all he saw was more soil; not even a single blade of grass was to be seen, and aside from his own footsteps, there was no other sound, only dead silence.

Looking up, there was just an expanse of endless night, no stars and no bright moon.

Suddenly, around Fang Lin figures made of yellow earth started to appear from the ground.

“What the hell is this?” Fang Lin’s brows furrowed tightly, his aura burst out, scattering the earth-made figures in an instant.

But the next moment, the earth coalesced again, and more and more figures emerged, surrounding Fang Lin completely.

When these figures of yellow earth took full shape, they looked much like an army charging fiercely towards Fang Lin.

Fang Lin let out a light snort. He didn’t need to lift a finger; the Demon Puppet by his side released a tremendous Demonic Qi that kept these earth figures at bay, pulverizing them instantly.

Boom, boom, boom~~

There was a huge rumbling beneath Fang Lin’s feet, and the ground swelled as a massive Yellow Earth Giant appeared.

The moment the Yellow Earth Giant materialized, it lifted its fists and smashed them down towards Fang Lin and the Demon Puppet.

The Demon Puppet moved and met the punch head-on.

The Yellow Earth Giant’s arm instantly shattered, but the punch had pushed the Demon Puppet back a step.

Seeing this, Fang Lin’s eyes sharpened. The power of the Yellow Earth Giant seemed extraordinary, even managing to shake the Demon Puppet.

However, the Demon Puppet was ultimately more formidable and, in no time, it shattered the Yellow Earth Giant.

After a fierce battle, Fang Lin barely had to intervene; the Demon Puppet had done most of the work, but Fang Lin had discerned a pattern, guessing that those earth figures and the Yellow Earth Giant must have been the work of the guardians of this place.

An outsider probably wouldn’t have the ability to summon these creatures.

“According to what that old guy said, Old Pickle should have been brought here; he should still be around after a dozen days or so,” Fang Lin thought to himself.

He then released the three Golden Scale Ant Kings to explore the area and search for the Corpse Ginseng.

Fang Lin also opened his Heavenly Eye; fortunately, this place didn’t seem to have any restrictions on the Heavenly Eye, allowing him to see an exceptionally vast range.

And luckily, despite the desolation, the terrain was flat, so Fang Lin’s Heavenly Eye proved extremely useful.

Thousands of miles away from Fang Lin, a middle-aged man in a black robe suddenly had a change in expression and glanced in a certain direction.

“Heavenly Eye, huh? Could this be the person you said was coming to rescue you?” the man in the black robe said. In front of him was a Pill Furnace, and the Corpse Ginseng was inside it.

“Hahaha, that’s right, he is my little brother, hand-trained by yours truly. Now that he’s here, I am about to break free from your clutches,” the Corpse Ginseng said, quite excitedly.

The man in the black robe smiled, “Then I must experience for myself what sort of person this ‘little brother’ you speak of really is.”

Speaking thus, the man in the black robe waved his hand, pocketing the Pill Furnace, then immediately headed in the direction of Fang Lin.

Almost at the same time, Fang Lin’s Heavenly Eye also spotted this man in the black robe.

“The one who took the thousand-year-old Corpse Ginseng must be him,” said Fang Lin as he put away his Heavenly Eye and, with his Demon Puppet, went to meet him face to face.

Soon, the two encountered each other.

The first thing the man in the black robe did wasn’t to look at Fang Lin but to glance at the Demon Puppet by his side.

“Hm? A master of the Great Longevity realm?” Upon seeing the Demon Puppet, the man in the black robe immediately furrowed his brow, his expression growing somewhat grave.

The Demon Puppet, also known as the Dragon Family Demon, was indeed a master of the Great Longevity Realm. However, the present Demon Puppet was slightly weaker than the Dragon Family Demon at its peak, as it had been refined into a puppet. Although Old Dried Corpse was highly skilled and preserved as much of the Dragon Family Demon’s strength as possible, it still couldn’t compare to its pinnacle.

Despite this, the Demon Puppet was still fiercely powerful and intimidating. After all, the Great Long-lived Ones were not common vegetables found everywhere–in this era, they were certainly among the strongest, worthy of looking down upon all beings.

The man in the black robe stared at the Demon Puppet for quite a while before finally turning to look at Fang Lin, but seemed somewhat disappointed.

“Spirit Source third layer?” the man in the black robe said indifferently, showing a hint of disdain for Fang Lin.

Fang Lin observed the man: he was fairly handsome, with temples streaked with white, giving him a somewhat world-weary look. His aura was dense, yet his exact realm of cultivation was inscrutable.

“Kid, this guy is a bit of trouble,” suddenly said Old Dried Corpse, his tone heavy with concern.

“Why?” Fang Lin quickly asked in secret, for if even Old Dried Corpse found him troublesome, then this person was definitely not simple.

“This person has used special means to hide his cultivation, but I can discern his age–he must be over ten thousand years old,” Old Dried Corpse stated.

Upon hearing this, Fang Lin was shocked, yet his expression remained unchanged, feigning nonchalance.

“How is that possible? If he’s ten thousand years old, then he must also have the cultivation of a Long-lived One,” Fang Lin said to himself.

“I have a guess, I fear this man may also be someone who survived from my era,” Old Dried Corpse said, his voice tinged with complexity.

Fang Lin didn’t ask any further, but the look he gave the man in the black robe changed.

Someone from the same era as Old Dried Corpse? Wouldn’t that mean this person was also someone from the ancient times, not far from the era of Fang Lin’s previous life?

If that was indeed the case, then the man before him was shrouded in too much mystery.

“Young man, this isn’t where you should be,” said the man in the black robe, looking at Fang Lin.

Fang Lin’s expression remained the same, retorting, “What about you? Is this where you’re supposed to be?”

The man in the black robe showed no emotion, “It’s pointless to say more to you. Leave quickly; I will not kill you.”

Fang Lin sneered, “Could you kill me? Have you not seen this puppet beside me?”

Looking at the Demon Puppet, the man in the black robe smiled slightly, “Indeed, your puppet is somewhat impressive, but at the end of the day, it is just a puppet. Relying on it to save your life is probably not enough.”

“Who are you?” Fang Lin asked abruptly.
