The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 955 - Chapter 955 Chapter 955 Its Not Over Yet

Chapter 955: Chapter 955: It’s Not Over Yet Chapter 955: Chapter 955: It’s Not Over Yet Master Zhong, whose full name was Zhong Quan, had been involved in the Five Cauldrons realm of Pill Refiners for a hundred years and could be considered rich in experience.

Moreover, this Master Zhong had studied an Ancient Pill Scripture and created his own unique Alchemy Technique. With this technique at hand, coupled with his extremely solid and profound mastery of the Alchemy Tao, many people referred to Master Zhong as the strongest Master of Pill.

There were those who had challenged Master Zhong in the past but they only ended up humiliating themselves.

If it were not for his advanced age, along with his limited talent, perhaps Master Zhong could have reached the realm of a Six Cauldrons Pill Refiner.

Among the many Masters of Pill present, while there were those with exceptional abilities, they were also well aware of their own limitations. They knew they could not compare to the mastery of Master Zhong in the alchemy journey.

But this Fang Lin, to have the audacity to challenge Master Zhong, was this sheer ignorance or did he truly possess such formidable confidence?

In the eyes of most people, Fang Lin was simply oblivious to the immensity of heaven and earth, thinking himself a young prodigy, someone who had entered the ranks of Masters of Pill at such a young age, not taking those older masters seriously.

“Master Fang, you’ve recently achieved the Five Cauldrons as a Pill Refiner, it’s best not to compete with Master Zhong,” spoke Master Long, not wanting Fang Lin to contest with Zhong Quan.

Master Long spoke for Fang Lin also because of Long Zhiming, who, after returning to the Long Family following the conclusion of the Wuji Battle Temple event, had praised Fang Lin highly. Additionally, Mr. Long Jiu of the Long Family had made it clear: if a member of the Long Family were to meet Fang Lin, they should help him if they could.

That’s why Master Long was speaking up for Fang Lin–in the case of an ordinary individual, he wouldn’t have bothered.

“Thank you for your kindness, Master Long,” Fang Lin said. “However, since Master Zhong wants to teach me a lesson, I would probably be looked down upon if I didn’t take the opportunity to learn from Master Zhong’s superior moves,” he continued, still respectful toward Master Long.

Upon hearing this, Master Long slightly furrowed his brows, wanting to further advise against it, but seeing that Fang Lin seemed quite set on the challenge with Master Zhong, he refrained from saying more and felt Fang Lin was perhaps a bit too conceited.

Indeed Fang Lin was a prodigy, but the likes of Zhong Quan, an old-timer Master of Pill, was extraordinarily powerful.

How many years have you been refining pills? Meanwhile, he has been delving into Alchemy for a century; the two of you can’t even be mentioned in the same breath.

As for those Pill Masters who were targeting Fang Lin, they were secretly scoffing. Fang Lin competing against Master Zhong in Pill Refining was precisely what they desired.

Should Fang Lin lose, they could then target him even more relentless, making him lose face thoroughly.

“Master Zhong, however, you wish to conduct the contest, just say the word. I will accept the challenge,” Fang Lin said casually, looking as if he was the one being challenged, not Master Zhong.

Master Zhong’s expression darkened as he gave a deep grunt, “Having immersed myself in Alchemy for a century, if I were to compete in pill refining with you, it might seem as if I was bullying a junior. I hear you possess three types of Soul Commanding Pill Fire, quite extraordinary. How about we see who is more skilled in Fire Control?”

“Master Zhong is truly noble and high-principled, we all admire you,” immediately someone began to flatter him, glancing disdainfully at Fang Lin in the process.

Fang Lin smiled, “It seems Master Zhong is quite confident about his Fire Control Skill, but I too have some accomplishments in that area. You might want to think carefully, Master Zhong. If you lose to me later on, it might not look good for you.”

Master Zhong retorted coldly, “Arrogant fool, I will certainly teach you that there are always people better than you, and skies beyond your sky.”

Fang Lin’s mouth twitched with a smirk, “It’s true that there are greater people and higher skies out there, but those words don’t seem suitable for you, as you’re not necessarily above me.”

“Enough talk, let’s see the truth beneath our hands!” Master Zhong shouted, and a profound, light blue Pill Flame appeared in his palm.

This was Master Zhong’s Soul Commanding Pill Fire, pale blue in color, the flame appearing deep and pure. Its emergence greatly reduced the temperature in the vicinity.

Fang Lin watched, a hint of surprise on his face, not expecting Master Zhong to possess such an extraordinary flame.

“This is a rare form of cold fire, which will instantly freeze anyone who touches it.”

“But in reality, this is a phenomenon where the fire’s temperature reaches such an extreme level that it causes a reaction in the opposite direction.”

“It’s extremely difficult to capture this fire, and even more so to refine and transform it into Soul Commanding Pill Fire. One careless move, and you could be frozen alive.”

“The type of flame that Master Zhong possesses is also a form of cold fire.”

Master Zhong glanced at Fang Lin with confident and dismissive eyes, then with a flick of his finger, the pale blue flame transformed into a bird in flight, lifelike, soaring above Master Zhong, and emitting a silent cry towards Fang Lin.”

“What exquisite Fire Control Skill!” Many exclaimed in admiration. The bird, created from the Soul Commanding Pill Fire, looked almost identical to a real one, formed entirely out of Soul Commanding Pill Fire, and even its feathers were defined with remarkable clarity.”

Just this alone was enough to show that Master Zhong’s mastery over fire control was profound. He truly was a grandmaster from the older generation in the Alchemy Tao, with deep and exceptionally solid foundations.”

“Aren’t you going to release your Soul Commanding Pill Fire?” said Master Zhong, looking at Fang Lin with a stern voice, the blue flame-formed bird poised as if ready to dive at Fang Lin at any moment.”

Fang Lin smiled slightly, his expression calm, and with a flip of his hand, a red flame spread out and transformed into a sword in front of him.”

Seeing Fang Lin turn the flame into a sword, many showed expressions of disappointment, while others shook their heads.”

“He is too young after all,” sighed a master of Alchemy Tao.

Transforming the Soul Commanding Pill Fire into a sword was considered a rather standard technique. Any pill refiner with decent fire control abilities could do it.”

In terms of intricacy, Master Zhong’s flame-formed bird had outclassed Fang Lin’s flame sword by far.”

Just then, the flame sword that Fang Lin had formed suddenly split in two.”

“Eh?” Some people made sounds of slight surprise.

The flame sword changed again, from two to four.

Quickly following that, from four to eight, then eight to sixteen…

From initial head-shaking and sighs, the crowd’s reaction turned to astonishment and shock.”

The flame sword had split into numerous, finely crafted small swords, floating densely in front of Fang Lin, their exact number indiscernible.”

And each of the small flame swords was identical in appearance, not a single difference in their length or thickness.”

This scene was incredibly shocking; no longer did anyone look down upon Fang Lin. This technique, without sufficient fire control strength, was impossible to accomplish.”

At least among the grandmasters present, many likely found it challenging to achieve what Fang Lin had just done.”

“Some skill, but is that all?” Master Zhong said indifferently, his disdain for Fang Lin slightly lessened, but still more confident in his own fire control mastery.”

Fang Lin smiled lightly, “It’s not over yet.”
