The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 732: Chapter 732: Two Sacred Medicines

This body was Fang Lin.

Anyone who saw it would think it was a corpse. After all, from all indications, Fang Lin was dead, devoid of any sign of life.

His chest had collapsed inwards, his flesh was a mangled mess and one could faintly see his nearly dried-out heart, as well as the ruptured arteries that once served it.

Setting aside the other injuries on his body, the damage to his heart was undoubtedly the critical blow.

Fang Lin had laid on this huge stone for ten days now, unmoved since the Giant Turtle Demon King had brought him here.

At this moment, a turtle appeared by the side of the giant rock. It was the Giant Turtle Demon King, but it had now shrunk to the size of a child, utterly minuscule when compared to its previous mountain-like size.

The old turtle stared at Fang Lin, a complex look in its eyes.

“Could it really be hopeless?” the old turtle muttered to itself.

After a moment of hesitation, the old turtle disappeared only to reappear soon after, bringing back a peculiar treasure of nature.

It was a pure white fruit, about the size of a fist, translucent and glowing with a slight halo of sanctity.

The pure white fruit floated in front of the old turtle, releasing an intense aroma, seemingly causing the surrounding flowers and trees to thrive.

“If he’s really dead, not even the sacred medicine could bring him back.” The old turtle sighed and placed the pure white fruit on Fang Lin’s chest.

This pure white fruit was a sacred medicine!

In the entire Hundred Beast Mountain, there were only three sacred medicines, nurtured and brought into existence over tens of thousands of years by nature’s spiritual energy.

Of those, the Unfading Flower of Seven Spirits, had already been absorbed by Fang Lin.

The pure white fruit was now being used by the old turtle in the hopes of saving Fang Lin’s life.

But even with the potent effects of the sacred medicine, it wasn’t certain if Fang Lin’s life could be saved.

The old turtle was out of options. If not for the Old Dried Corpse Demon Saint’s involvement, the turtle would hardly care about Fang Lin’s fate, let alone use a sacred medicine on him.

If it could, the old turtle would rather keep the sacred medicine for its own use when the time was right.

“Bring the other sacred medicine as well!” commanded the Old Dried Corpse with resolute determination.

The old turtle wore a bitter expression, “This sacred medicine might be wasted as it is. It’s better to save the other one.”

“Bring it!” Old Dried Corpse scolded sternly, his tone even harsher.

The old turtle muttered unhappily. Although unwilling, it scampered off to fetch the final, third sacred medicine.

By then, the pure white fruit was emanating a gentle and warm glow, enveloping Fang Lin completely. The chi-rich medicinal essence was continuously seeping into Fang Lin’s body.

A significant portion of this medicinal essence was actually absorbed by the Kylin demon bone within him.

“Whether or not you can survive this will depend on you now.” Old Dried Corpse sighed, hinting at some helplessness.

When Fang Lin was critically wounded by the Xuan Emperor and then attacked by the strongmen of Hidden Kill Hall, Old Dried Corpse did not step in to save him. He had no choice because his long prior appearance had already tipped off certain forbidden beings who had faintly detected him. If he were to appear again, it would trigger an even more terrifying disaster.

As a result, Old Dried Corpse could only stand by and watch Fang Lin end up in this state.

Now, Old Dried Corpse tried to save Fang Lin with two sacred medicines. This could be seen as an attempt to compensate for what happened to Fang Lin.

If Fang Lin can survive and once again come back from the brink of death, he will reap massive benefits.

Of course, this would only be possible if he can survive this ordeal.

The intense medicinal essence from the pure white fruit continuously repaired Fang Lin’s body from head to toe. This rapid healing caused his split flesh and broken bones to recover as they were initially in only a few breaths’ time.

Yet, the broken arteries in his heart remained unhealed.

Fang Lin was still lifeless. With the arteries in his heart ruptured, his heart couldn’t beat, and no signs of life appeared.

Without life, even if all of Fang Lin’s injuries were healed and his body at its peak, he would still be nothing but a cold corpse.

The Kylin demon bone continued to absorb the medicinal essence of the sacred medicine. The severe injuries to Fang Lin had also drained much of the demon bone’s strength, so it certainly wouldn’t let go of the medicinal essence from the sacred medicine.

Time passed little by little. Except for his heart, all other injuries on Fang Lin’s body were healed.

The medicinal power from the pure white fruit was extremely potent. After repairing Fang Lin’s body, a vast majority of its medicinal essence continued to permeate into his body, settling into his flesh and blood.

If Fang Lin survived, this would be a great fortune. Once he refines all the medicinal power of the sacred medicine within his body, he could attain a sizable upgrade.

Of course, if Fang Lin couldn’t wake up, then it means this sacred medicine would be wasted.

Soon, the old turtle returned, carrying another sacred medicine, the last one in the Hundred Beast Mountain.

“How about we wait for a while to see if this fruit has any effect? If it does, we can still use this sacred medicine later.” Asked the old turtle tentatively, indeed, it was loath to part with the sacred medicine.

“Use it now.” Old Dried Corpse told him.

The old turtle was bitter, extremely unwilling to put the sacred medicine on Fang Lin.

The sacred medicine was a golden grass. However, its shape was similar to a true dragon, resembling a newborn dragon that had just hatched.

As soon as the golden grass was placed on Fang Lin, it immediately started releasing its abundant medicinal power, aiding Fang Lin just like the pure white medicine did.

Anyone who witnessed this scene would undoubtedly drop their jaw in amazement.

This was too extravagant. Two incredibly rare sacred medicines suddenly appearing and being used on one person.

The most critical part was that this person was essentially a “corpse”.

The old turtle watched as both the sacred medicines released their medicinal power on Fang Lin, its eyes brimming with tears, almost breaking down into sobs.

“Look at your pathetic self. It’s just a few sacred medicines. Even if we run out, it’s not like you have many years left anyway.” Old Dried Corpse said impatiently.

The old turtle did not dare to refute. After all, tens of thousands of years ago, Old Dried Corpse was its master, and even now, his residual might was still present.@@novelbin@@

But these two sacred medicines indeed made the old turtle feel distressed because, in its perspective, these sacred medicines would definitely go to waste. Fang Lin was already dead, and not even the sacred medicines could bring him back.

“Huh?” Suddenly, the old turtle looked surprised. Through the golden and white glow, it saw a faint black light spreading from Fang Lin’s chest.

“The Kylin demon bone has revived, there might still be hope!” The Old Dried Corpse exclaimed with joy.

Indeed, the black light came from the Kylin demon bone. After absorbing the enormous medicinal power of the sacred medicine, the demon bone had revived and was now filled with vitality.
