The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

The one-month intensive study time at Pill Forest Academy had ended. Many official disciples left the academy one by one. No matter how reluctant they were, they could no longer stay.

Although Fang Lin still had eleven months to stay in Pill Forest Academy, he had lost interest in staying any longer. Moreover, he was unhappy because he had been played by the people from Pill Pavilion.

Although he had advanced to the eighth level of Human Origin, Fang Lin was still angry. He had clearly had the chance to advance to the tenth level of Human Origin, but Pill Pavilion had given him a substandard Mysterious

Heavenly Stone Cauldron, which caused him to stagnate at the eighth level.

If not for the fact that he felt too embarrassed to speak out, Fang Lin would certainly have gone directly to the Pill Pavilion to make a scene.

It took several days for Fang Lin to gradually calm down. After all, things had already come to such a point, and brooding over it would be of no avail.

So, Fang Lin turned his attention to his Bone Tempering Pills.

Before Fang Lin joined Pill Forest Academy, many disciples from Martial Sect had already asked Fang Lin to refine pills for them. Because Fang Lin was to enter Pill Forest Academy, these requests were temporarily put on hold.

Now that Fang Lin had left Pill Forest Academy, these disciples from Martial Sect poured in within days.

Fang Lin warmly welcomed these Martial Sect disciples, and secretly brought out the Bone Tempering Pill.

Upon seeing the Bone Tempering Pill, the pupils of these Martial Sect disciples went straight, their gaze completely fixated.

The Martial Sect was a place where competition was even more fierce than in the Pill Sect. Survival of the fittest was the most basic rule there.

Only the strong held high ranks and had a say.

Every Martial Sect disciple longed for a quick rise in strength, and the Bone Tempering Pill was perfectly in line with their requirements.

These Martial Sect disciples never expected Fang Lin to have such a great thing as a Bone Tempering Pill. Even some of the higher-ranking Martial Sect disciples had difficulty getting their hands on this kind of pill.

The Bone Tempering Pill was extremely difficult to refine. Without many years of pill refining experience, one could probably only succeed once in ten attempts. Therefore, there were not many Bone Tempering Pills in Pill Sect. Even if there were, only a small part of them were sold to the disciples of Martial Sect.

After all, with such a good thing at hand, anyone would want to keep it for themselves first. If there was surplus, then they’d think about how to generate profit.

The Martial Sect disciples carefully identified the pills, confirmed that they were indeed authentic Bone Tempering Pills and were so excited they could hardly wait to grab them and run.

Fang Lin stated that the Bone Tempering Pills could only be sold by quantity and wouldn’t sell too many at once to avoid being noticed by Pill Pavilion.

Several Martial Sect disciples each bought a Bone Tempering Pill on the spot and returned to Martial Sect, gleaming with happiness.

Of course, these Martial Sect disciples paid a hefty price for the pills, but they didn’t think it mattered. A Bone Tempering Pill could instantly make them stronger among the martial artists of the same rank.

The next day, a large group of Martial Sect disciples swarmed in and almost crowded Fang Lin’s courtyard.

Fang Lin shouted loudly, reminding these Martial Sect disciples not to wander around and trample the plants in the courtyard.

But still, a few of them stepped on a patch of medicinal herbs, which made Fang Lin yell angrily.

The three Martial Sect disciples didn’t dare to talk back and honestly took the scolding from Fang Lin.

Fang Lin used his Reviving Dead Wood Body to fix the trampled medicinal herbs, which won applause from the crowd.

The aim of these Martial Sect disciples was naturally for the Bone Tempering Pill. One of the disciples from yesterday probably let the cat out of the bag by showing off their Bone Tempering Pill, thus attracting so many Martial Sect disciples.

Fang Lin was secretly helpless. With so many Martial Sect disciples rushing in at once, it would be weird if it didn’t attract attention.

But on the other hand, Fang Lin was secretly pleased. In this case, his fame in the Martial Sect would become increasingly well-known, and in the future, more and more Martial Sect disciples would come to him for pill refining or pill purchasing.

Fang Lin enjoyed pleasant conversations with the disciples in his yard. Even those who initially had doubts about him quickly warmed up to him.

Most of these Martial Sect disciples were of the lower rank, with a small portion being middle-ranking disciples. None were of the top-ranking.

It wasn’t that the top-ranking Martial Sect disciples didn’t want to come, but they considered their own status and didn’t come in person. Among the ones present, half were instructed by the upper-ranking disciples to come and purchase the Bone Tempering Pill.

Fang Lin understood that these people had the shadow of the upper-ranking disciples backing them, and that’s why he tried his hardest to make friends and form connections. Once the relationships were well-established, he would establish some connections in the Martial Sect.

Of course, the Bone Tempering Pill was still the key.

This time, Fang Lin did not choose to sell one pill per person, but chose to hold an auction.

Highest bidder wins!

There were a total of ten Bone Tempering Pills, and the sale would end when all were sold out.

Upon hearing this, people showed a bit of helplessness, but most of them were composed, thinking it very reasonable.

If the Bone Tempering Pill was sold one per person, what would be the value of this precious pill? Wouldn’t it just become commonplace?

Limited auction was a better reflection of the value of Bone Tempering Pill.

In this way, a simple yet intense mini-auction was held in Fang Lin’s courtyard.

The disciple from Pill Sect passing by Fang Lin’s yard was very puzzled. Why was Fang Lin’s yard so bustling? Judging by the noise alone, there must be twenty or thirty people.

But because the courtyard gate was closed, they didn’t know what was going on inside. They couldn’t very well climb the wall to have a look – how disgraceful would it be if they were seen?

The micro-auction hosted by Fang Lin was a great success. All ten Bone Tempering Pills were sold, mainly to the middle-ranking disciples.

The lower-ranking Martial Sect disciples who did not win the bid sighed and felt disappointed.

However, Fang Lin informed them that there would be a second auction in ten days. The Martial Sect disciples grew hopeful again, preparing to come here to compete for the Bone Tempering Pill in ten days.

The crowd of Martial Sect disciples left. Those who had obtained the Bone Tempering Pill left quickly in three steps instead of two, eager to give the Bone Tempering Pill to their entrustees as soon as they left Pill Sect.

Through this auction, Fang Lin’s harvest was enormous, earning him a pile of rare and unusual treasures.

One could say that in terms of wealth, Fang Lin would no longer be inferior to those middle-ranked disciples with long-standing experience.

But if compared to the top-ranked disciples, he was still a little behind.

After all, each top-ranked disciple had profound knowledge. For example, Lu Jiuhe, who had fought with Fang Lin, even possessed a Hundred-year

Ganoderma.

Of course, the Hundred-year Ganoderma now belonged to Fang Lin.

“Now that the Bone Tempering Pills have been sold, I have to keep a low profile for a while, otherwise those guys from Pill Pavilion might suspect me.” Fang

Lin was sorting out his gains from the day at home, quietly musing to himself.

Bang, bang, bang!!!

Suddenly, a loud knock was heard from outside the courtyard. The sound seemed particularly harsh in the quiet dusk.

Frowning, Fang Lin could tell by the sound of the knocking that the visitor was not friendly..
