The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 767: Chapter 767: The Dan Conference

These words, they’re somewhat rude, Fang Lin was too lazy to be polite with this guy. He had been talking for such a long time, all for the sake of seizing his Shaking Three Mountains. What else was there to say?

As expected, Zhu Yuntao was immediately enraged, standing up and staring at Fang Lin: “I kindly advised you, but you’re being this disrespectful.”

Fang Lin was delighted, laughing as he said: “Who’s being disrespectful? If you want the Shaking Three Mountains, just say so. Don’t threaten me with the Zhu family. Zhu Yuntao, without the Zhu family, what are you?”

“Fang Lin! You’re too arrogant!” Zhu Yuntao shouted angrily, his eyes full of icy resentment.

Fang Lin just gave his ear a nonchalant scratch, not caring at all.

“At the likes of you, I could take down several with one punch. You want to give it a go?” Fang Lin said lightly.

Zhu Yuntao’s face turned pale. He was confident in the field of Alchemy Tao, but if he had to fight Fang Lin, he would indeed be somewhat unnerved.

Not because of anything else, but simply due to Fang Lin’s feat of wreaking havoc in Xuan City, and challenging powerful Spirit Vein-level opponents, which was enough to intimidate many.

Although Zhu Yuntao was not weak, when faced with Fang Lin, he would likely as Fang Lin said, get knocked down and killed in one punch.

“Fang Lin, we have no grievances. I just hope to exchange for your Shaking Three Mountains, which won’t bring any harm to you.” Zhu Yuntao suppressed his anger, trying to present himself as calm as possible.

“I have no intention of trading, so please leave.” Fang Lin said, completely uninterested in wasting more time with Zhu Yuntao.

Zhu Yuntao gritted his teeth, glaring at Fang Lin as a cold smile flickered at the corner of his mouth: “Fang Lin, you’re too foolish. This is North Town Hall, not the outside world, you’re alone and can’t fight us.”

Fang Lin also laughed: “Those of you who rely on the backing of your family are just like chickens and dogs before me. Where does your pride come from when you’re clearly so weak?”

Hearing Fang Lin’s words, Zhu Yuntao almost spat out blood from anger. Fang Lin’s words were too sharp, directly implying that without the Zhu family, he would be nothing more than chickens and dogs before him.

Although Zhu Yuntao was reluctant to admit it, it was indeed the truth. Without the Zhu family’s backing, Zhu Yuntao would have no assertiveness or pride in front of Fang Lin.

Fang Lin’s current achievement and fame were all based on his own hard-earned capabilities.

As for Zhu Yuntao? Despite being much older than Fang Lin, compared to Fang Lin, he fell far short, he wasn’t even worth a glance.

“Hmph! Although your martial arts abilities are very strong, here, Alchemy Tao is the ultimate power. Even though you know some Ancient Skills, in front of us, alchemy Tao families, you’re nothing.” Zhu Yuntao said, as an inheritor of an alchemy Tao family, he naturally possesses the pride of an alchemy Tao family.

Fang Lin shook his head repeatedly, looking at Zhu Yuntao disdainfully: “I really worry for your so-called alchemy Tao families’ future, producing a character like you. Your Zhu family is really unlucky.”

“Fang Lin!!!” Zhu Yuntao roared in anger, already on the verge of coughing up blood. In terms of martial power, ten Zhu Yuntaos were no match for Fang Lin, and it was the same in verbal sparring.

“Alright, alright, quit your yapping here. Hurry up and skedaddle, you’re getting in the way of my business.” Fang Lin said impatiently.

Zhu Yuntao snorted heavily and left, but before departing, he left a remark: “You have no idea how terrifying the alchemy Tao families are, within the Pill Alliance, you are no more than a minor character!”

Fang Lin wasn’t affected by Zhu Yuntao’s words. Although within the Pill Alliance, he Fang Lin was indeed just a small figure, even small figures can become prominent figures.

“Sigh, it seems I can’t find peace anywhere.” Fang Lin closed the door and returned to his Five-Elements Stone to continue his cultivation.

The Lord of the Western Town, Lu Feng, came. He descended on the North Town Hall and was very domineering.

But, Fang Lin knew the purpose of his visit.

After everyone had left, Lu Feng found Fang Lin, and the two of them had a secret talk.

Fang Lin gave Lu Feng a pill that could delay the outbreak of the poison pill.

Lu Feng was extremely angry, he came for a cure, he wanted to completely eliminate the poison in his body.

But Fang Lin only gave him a pill to delay the poison pill’s effect, what the heck was that?

Lu Feng really wanted to crush Fang Lin, to threaten him into handing over the antidote, but Lu Feng couldn’t. Right now, he was completely at Fang Lin’s mercy.

Ever since Lu Feng was fed the poison pill by Fang Lin, Lu Feng had tried various methods and asked many people to try to detoxify the poison pill.

But after many attempts, there was no progress, the poison pill was still in his body, seemingly dissolved in his blood and flesh, and was impossible to remove.

Fed up with this life, everyday living in fear of the poisoning taking effect, Lu Feng rushed to North Town Hall, seeking the antidote from Fang Lin.

Not receiving an antidote, but just delaying the effect of the poison, even though Lu Feng was dissatisfied, he was helpless. He could only swallow his anger and comfort himself.

At least, he wouldn’t have to worry about the poison pill taking effect for a short time.

Lu Feng left, with a belly full of resentment having arrived full of expectations.

The North Town Hall held a Pill Discussion Conference every once in a while, where all Pill Refiners of the North Town Hall would participate. Even the Hall Master would be present.

For the North Town Hall, it was a grand event, and a great opportunity for talented young Pill Refiners to showcase themselves.

However, in previous Pill Discussion Conferences, the same few people dominated, while others couldn’t compare to them.

These people included Ling Zhongtian and Zhu Yuntao, who had an altercation with Fang Lin not long ago.

This Pill Discussion Conference was unusual, because the Hall Master’s Disciple Selection would begin in three months. Therefore, this Pill Discussion Conference was seen by many as a rehearsal.

Whoever stands out the most in this conference will have a high chance of dominating the Hall Master’s Disciple Selection in three months.

Of course, most people were aware of their limits. Apart from the registered disciples, it was very tough for others to stand out at the conference.

However, some people believed that if they performed well enough at the conference to catch the Hall Master’s attention, they might become registered disciples and then participate in the Hall Master’s Disciple Selection three months later.

There were quite a few young Pill Refiners with this notion, including capable ones who hadn’t been recognized or were suppressed, all yearned to make their mark in this conference.

The Pill Discussion Conference was held in the main hall of the North Town Hall and was announced to all Pill Refiners of the North Town Hall three days in advance.

Early in the morning, many Pill Refiners arrived in the main hall one after another.
