The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1395 - Chapter 1395 Chapter 1493 Borrowing a Treasure

Chapter 1395: Chapter 1493: Borrowing a Treasure Chapter 1395: Chapter 1493: Borrowing a Treasure The risks of assimilating the dragon bone were crystal clear to Fang Lin, but he had no choice; there was no better way to enhance his own strength at this moment.

Despite the great risks, Fang Lin had the ability to minimize them.

To assimilate the dragon bone, Fang Lin had specially refined a batch of pills to balance the conflict between the dragon bone and his flesh.

As long as his body could accept the dragon bone, the assimilation process would be much smoother.

All prepared, Fang Lin took a deep breath, his gaze fierce as he stared at the dragon bone.

Then, Fang Lin used a dagger to cut open his right arm and forcibly stuffed the dragon bone inside it.

The dragon bone erupted with a startling aura, highly resistant to Fang Lin’s action. Though its vital energy was depleted, it was, after all, a bone of a True Dragon, possessing an instinctive reluctance to become part of the Human Clan.

Fang Lin ignored the struggling of the dragon bone, enduring the intense pain in his right arm, and forced the dragon bone deep inside.

Next, he had to focus on assimilating the dragon bone, to fully integrate it with his flesh and make it an inseparable part of his body.

The agony of this process was known only to Fang Lin himself.

More than a month later, Fang Lin finally succeeded in completely assimilating the dragon bone, merging it with himself.

“It took less time than I anticipated, but that’s just perfect,” said Fang Lin, his complexion pale. He moved his right arm, and though it appeared no different from usual, he could distinctly feel an immense power contained within it.

Not only that, but there seemed to be some connection between the Kylin Demon Bone and the True Dragon Demon Bone. The Kylin Demon Bone transferred strands of Sacred Qi into the True Dragon Demon Bone, gradually reviving it with vitality.

Of course, now that the True Dragon Demon Bone was thoroughly assimilated by Fang Lin, any vitality it exuded only brought Fang Lin more benefits.

At this moment, Fang Lin’s realm remained at the third layer of the Spirit Source, but with the addition of this piece of True Dragon Demon Bone, his strength had increased substantially.

Even martial artists at the seventh or eighth layer of the Spirit Source would likely stand little chance against the current Fang Lin.

And this was without Fang Lin having tapped into the power of The Ancient Lamp of Flame God; if he were to integrate the power of four such lamps, he would reach a level capable of contending with Minor Longevity beings.

To stand against Long-lived Ones at the third layer of Spirit Source was almost an impossible feat, even during the glorious era of Fang Lin’s past life, which was filled with prodigies.

Normally, a Long-lived One could crush anything; to fight against one, one would need to reach the Longevity Realm oneself.

But Fang Lin was no ordinary person; the power he wielded had already surpassed what a regular martial artist could comprehend.

Not to mention anything else, just take the two Demon Bones in Fang Lin’s possession: one Kylin Demon Bone and one True Dragon Demon Bone, arguably the most top-tier existences among Demon Bones, with none stronger than these.

Fang Lin, possessing two of the strongest Demon Bones, naturally saw his strength greatly increased.

Another very important reason was the presence of Sacred Qi.

At first, Fang Lin’s understanding of Sacred Qi was not profound, but as he used more and more of it, his appreciation for its terrifying power deepened.

Both Demon Bones were nourished by the Sacred Qi, and his flesh had also been tempered by it. Although Fang Lin had stepped into the Spirit Source realm, compared to the use of Spirit Source, he relied on Sacred Qi even more.

Fang Lin, who possessed Sacred Qi, could dominate his peers in the same realm without even using his two Demon Bones, without any artifacts, without any Martial Arts, and even without using his Spirit Source.

“I can now contend against Minor Longevity beings, but there are too many experts in the Seven Seas three sects, including those in the Great Longevity realm and even Immortal masters–my strength is still insufficient,” Fang Lin muttered to himself as he clenched his right fist.

Moreover, the Seven Seas had a large and powerful population while Fang Lin was alone and weak. Facing the vast number of experts from the Seven Seas three sects, he would undoubtedly be hard-pressed.

“It looks like I need to make a trip to Ancient Demon Ridge. I hope the journey will be smooth and without unexpected complications,” Fang Lin frowned, leaving the Supreme Saint Hall and heading in the direction of Ancient Demon Ridge.

Half a month later, Fang Lin emerged from Ancient Demon Ridge, with several Ancient Demons watching him with deep and ponderous gazes until he completely disappeared from their sight.

“The Demon Saint cares too much for this lad. He is not one of us; he’s not worth it,” one Ancient Demon said discontentedly.

“However, this child is indeed remarkable. In such a short time, he has already stepped into the realm of Spirit Source,” another Ancient Demon remarked.

“Exactly because this child is so astounding, we should eliminate him sooner rather than later. Perhaps one day he will become a major threat to our Demon Beast clan,” the previous Ancient Demon said, harboring hostility and concern for Fang Lin.

“Heh, even if this child grows strong, with the Demon Saint stationed within our Demon Clan, who in the world could harm our clan?”

“You’re right. Moreover, since the Demon Saint values this child so much, maybe he will not only be harmless to our Demon Clan but could actually become a great asset.”

“The Demon Saint surely has his reasons; it’s useless for us to think too much about it.”

Deep within Ancient Demon Ridge, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven sat upon an ancient tree, a large banana in his left hand and a big peach in his right, eating contentedly, with a comfortable look on his furry face.

“Demon Saint, is it really appropriate to lend the Ancient Lamp of Flame God to this child?” an old Ancient Demon underneath the tree inquired.

Munching, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven mumbled indistinctly, “I’ve lent it; there’s nothing inappropriate about it.”

“What if this child does not return the Ancient Lamp of Flame God in the end?” the old Ancient Demon pressed.

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven rolled his eyes, “This saint’s lent item–dare that kid not return it.”

The old Ancient Demon had nothing to say in response, knowing well that the Great Sage Equal to Heaven was a figure who stood by his word; once he made a decision, it was set in stone.

After leaving Ancient Demon Ridge, Fang Lin once again entered the Supreme Saint Hall. He had managed to borrow three more Ancient Lamps of Flame God from the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

However, this borrowing trip was not easy; Fang Lin had to persuade and nearly came into conflict with some of the Ancient Demons of Ancient Demon Ridge.

Fortunately, the outcome was satisfactory for Fang Lin. With three more Ancient Lamps of Flame God in his possession, he now had a total of seven, wielding incredibly powerful strength.

Next, Fang Lin immersed himself in fervent training and Pill Refining.

The journey to the Seven Seas would definitely be extremely challenging. Fang Lin knew that his chances of danger outweighed those of success, but any additional preparation was worthwhile.

He tentatively requested the assistance of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, but the Great Sage did not seem to have any intention of accompanying Fang Lin to the Seven Seas.
