The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 963 - Chapter 963 Chapter 963 Veteran Insight

Chapter 963: Chapter 963: Veteran Insight Chapter 963: Chapter 963: Veteran Insight Facing the skepticism of Master Zhong and others, Fang Lin smiled faintly and walked leisurely to the vicinity of the pills, reaching out for an empty grasp at them.

“What is he doing?” The crowd was perplexed and completely clueless as to what Fang Lin intended.

Only Master Zhong, Master Long, and the inscrutable Master Wen noticed a sudden change, discerning some clues.

“This is impossible!” Master Zhong immediately shook his head, refusing to believe that Fang Lin could accomplish what only existed in ancient texts.

Master Long also found it hard to believe, but Fang Lin’s current actions left no other explanation besides that one thing.

Master Wen’s eyes shone with brilliance, his face filled with anticipation.

As soon as Fang Lin made a grasping motion with his right hand toward the pills, a burst of flames surged from above them.

This flame was so bright and carried an overwhelming hot breath; the moment it appeared, the entire hall seemed to become a steaming cauldron.

The sight left everyone present in utter shock, even a great personality like Master Wen could not remain composed.

“He actually did it!!” Master Long exclaimed with a look of horror.

Master Zhong rubbed his murky old eyes, wondering if his age had finally caught up with him, causing his vision to blur.

“What in the world is going on?” Some Masters of Pill were still confused about the situation and felt utterly bewildered.

No one answered them; all eyes were on Fang Lin.

As the flame rose from above the pills, it transformed into a Flame Hammer and began pounding the pills.

“Is it really the ancient Refining Pill with Forge Fire Method being performed again?” an elderly Grandmaster of Pill exclaimed in amazement.

The Forge Fire Method was an extremely ancient Refining-pill skill, utterly different from the many Pill Refining Skills passed down today.

The contemporary methods emphasized precision, while the Forge Fire Method was about bold strikes, refining pills through the most rugged approach.

Because of its immense difficulty and the many years that had passed, this method had been lost, surviving only in ancient texts.

What amazed everyone was not the Forge Fire Method itself, but that Fang Lin had managed to recreate the ancient alchemy skill that had once been applied to these pills.

Such a feat was nothing short of miraculous!

“How is this possible? This is simply too magical!” a Master of Pill found it incredibly hard to believe.

With a casual wave of his hand, Fang Lin dissipated the Flame Hammer and the pills returned to normal, but the hall still retained the lingering hot breath for a long time, proving that everything they had just witnessed was not an illusion, but had truly occurred.

“Bravo, Master Fang, a peerless genius of his time, truly unrivalled indeed!” Master Long praised loudly, visibly excited.

Even Master Zhong, who had been very critical of Fang Lin and believed he didn’t deserve the title of Master of Pill, was now unusually silent.

“Only a true prodigy of Alchemy Tao, someone innately capable of resonating with pills, could evoke the hidden trace within the pills, allowing the ancient alchemy skill to reemerge!” said Master Wen, his words filled with admiration for Fang Lin. Even someone like him was witnessing this legendary phenomenon for the first time, and he was profoundly shocked.

To resonate with the pills, Master Wen could also manage, but to evoke the hidden traces of time within the pills was absolutely unachievable.

Among ten thousand alchemy prodigies, perhaps only one can achieve this step.

“Ladies and gentlemen, you must have all seen it, haven’t you?” Fang Lin turned around, looked at Master Zhong and the others, and calmly asked.

Master Zhong and the others had no words to respond; even though they were extremely reluctant and wanted to object, facts spoke louder than words. The scene they had just witnessed was indeed the Forge Fire Method, making their previous doubts about Fang Lin seem rather foolish.

“Who would’ve thought that besides that girl Zhixin, there’s someone else who can accomplish the same thing,” a Master of Pill from the Long Family said.

Upon hearing his words, Fang Lin’s heart stirred, realizing that Long Zhixin, the alchemy genius of the Long Family, was also a formidable figure, able to do something similar to himself–worthy of being the alchemy prodigy nurtured by the Long Family’s Alchemy Tao.

Master Wen spoke up: “Fang Lin is correct, this pill was indeed refined using the Forge Fire Method, but the true subtlety of this pill, you have yet to perceive.”

Upon hearing Master Wen’s words, everyone was stunned. Were there more subtleties they had not noticed? How much more remarkable could this pill be? Fang Lin had already unearthed the Forge Fire Method, what other subtleties could there be?

But since Master Wen had spoken, there must be something they hadn’t discovered. With Master Wen’s stature, he wouldn’t aimlessly tease them.

But what other hidden secrets could this pill hold?

Master Zhong furrowed his brows, staring intently at the pill, while Master Long wore a solemn expression.

Only Fang Lin, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, appeared confident, as if he had already seen through everything.

Master Wen naturally noticed Fang Lin’s expression and asked, “Fang Lin, could it be that you have already made out what it is?”

Fang Lin bowed slightly, neither humble nor arrogant, and said, “To answer Master Wen, there is one more issue with this pill. While it can enhance the strength of a Spirit Bone martial artist, taking more than three will affect the martial artist’s foundation, making breakthroughs difficult. If too many are consumed, it may even lead to an inability to advance in realm, leaving one trapped at the Spirit Bone level for life.”

At these words, the entire room was shocked.

Fang Lin could see even this? Wasn’t that a bit too mystical?

Master Wen’s eyes showed surprise; he hadn’t expected Fang Lin to hit the nail on the head and articulate the biggest drawback of the pill.

“Master Wen, is what Master Fang says correct?” an impatient Master of Pill asked Master Wen for confirmation.

Master Wen did not say much but just nodded slightly.

Hiss!

Upon seeing Master Wen’s nod, the crowd gasped, Fang Lin had actually spoken the truth.

At this moment, all the Masters of Pill present were completely astonished by Fang Lin, and wholly convinced.

The secret that no one had spotted was seen through by Fang Lin, and from Fang Lin’s demeanor, it seemed effortless, hardly posing any difficulty.

That made some of the older Masters of Pill present feel awkward, each with a high level of experience, priding themselves on their exceptional perception, yet now being surpassed by a young upstart.

“Fang Lin, how did you discern this?” Master Wen asked, also curious about how Fang Lin, so young in age, could possibly have a keener eye than those veteran Masters of Pill.

Fang Lin touched his nose and said with a laugh, “Er, I once came across a record of such a pill in ancient texts.”
