The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Translator: 549690339

Dugu Nian was seen rolling up her sleeves, barefooted, and stooping to plant medicine in the field, replanting all the herbs she had pulled up one by one.

Originally a beautiful young lady, Dugu Nian was now all covered in mud, with a fair amount of black dirt stuck on her face.

The young mistress of the Dugu family was doing hard farming work at Fang Lin’s place. From a distance, she looked exactly like a rural peasant woman.

On hearing the noise behind her, Dugu Nian turned around to see Fang Lin and his group, looking slightly uneasy.

“You’re doing pretty well, keep it up,” Fang Lin commented with a smile.

Dugu Nian snorted and continued to work on the medicinal field indignantly.

She didn’t have a choice, since it was Dugu Nian who ruined the field, it was only fitting that she was the one to fix it.

After Han Yinyue and Han Xiaoxing left, Fang Lin escorted them out of the courtyard, and soon returned.

“Hey, are you really going to teach me Shaking Three Mountains? You’re not playing tricks on me, right?” Dugu Nian asked as she wiped her face with the back of her hand, leaving a patch of mud on it, not caring about her appearance.

Fang Lin glanced at her, “That depends on your performance.”

After saying that, he walked into the house.

“I’m going into seclusion, don’t disturb me, and don’t let anyone disturb me,” Fang Lin’s voice came from inside the house.

Dugu Nian made faces at the house while Fang Lin was in, yet she didn’t refuse his instructions.

“This guy, wait until I learn Shaking Three Mountains, I’ll show you!” Dugu Nian muttered to herself, before shutting the courtyard door and continuing her work.

Fang Lin slapped the Nine Palace Bag, took out a Jade Slip, and then crushed it. A yellow light screen engulfed the whole house.

This wasn’t a simple Soundproofing Array. It also had some defensive effects. Fang Lin had to do a lot in the time ahead, so he set up an array to avoid any interruptions.

Although Fang Lin knew how to set up an array, he didn’t have the appropriate materials for one. Moreover, he didn’t have time for these things. So, he used the Jade Slip.

He opened the Nine Palace Bag that Lady of the Sect Master, Han Yinyue, gave him. On inspecting it, Fang Lin couldn’t help showing a satisfied smile.

“She is indeed the Lady of the Sect Master; she’s quite affluent,” Fang Lin muttered to himself.

Inside the small Nine Palace Bag was a heap of things, various precious herbs, each of which was of high value.

Apart from herbs, there were also two bottles of pills. Fang Lin checked them and found that they were all auxiliary practice pills with good effects, and were likely made by an experienced Pill Refiner.

Furthermore, there was a longsword. Although its appearance was nothing extraordinary, Fang Lin could tell that it was made of excellent material.

While Fang Lin, despite his past life, may not have seen any divine weapons, he knew that having such a sword was very good for his current situation.

What surprised him the most were the dozen Demon Cores in the bag.

Among them, there were two Demon Cores that contained the power of the wind.

Fang Lin was planning on refining a Wind-controlling Pill. These two Demon Cores were like timely rain that saved him a lot of trouble.

Given the quantity of things, they were indeed worthy of being the entire belonging of an upper-ranking disciple. But Han Yinyue casually gifted them all to Fang Lin, reflecting her immense personal wealth.

However, it wasn’t surprising since she was the sect master’s daughter. If she didn’t have some belongings, it would be an insult to her identity.

Fang Lin had all the materials for the Wind-controlling Pill, so he didn’t wait any longer and began refining it straight away.

He didn’t use the Pill Furnace he just got his hands on to refine the Wind-controlling Pill because he was planning to use it for swallowing purposes.

Taking out the Golden Flame Cauldron, Fang Lin prepared all the herbs and immediately lit the fire.

With Fang Lin’s level of expertise, refining the Wind-controlling Pill was naturally not a problem. But his current realm was too low, so refining a Wind-controlling Pill was his limit. If it was a higher-level pill, he would be unable to refine it.

Once the Pill Furnace was heated, he threw all the herbs and one Demon Core into the furnace.

Next, it was time for a slow wait.

After three days, Fang Lin displayed Shaking Three Mountains while using Micro Gold Pupil to observe the situation inside the Pill Furnace.

As Fang Lin expected, everything inside the Pill Furnace was proceeding as he predicted, and there were no errors.

The vibration caused by Shaking Three Mountains was even felt by Dugu Nian, who was idling in the courtyard.

Realising that Fang Lin was refining pills, Dugu Nian was excited and wanted to peek but she remembered Fang Lin’s warning and dared not approach the house.

After thinking for a while, Dugu Nian couldn’t resist and cautiously came to the door trying to peek through the crack.

However, as soon as she touched the door, she was suddenly thrown back. “You brat, do you still want to learn the Shaking Three Mountains? If you dare to disturb me again, get lost,” Fang Lin scolded without any courtesy.

Dugu Nian rubbed her hurt butt, stomped her feet in anger, and didn’t dare to peek at Fang Lin refining pills anymore.

Dugu Nian’s interruption, however, was just a small interlude and didn’t affect the progress of Fang Lin’s refining process.

After the Shaking Three Mountains was performed, Fang Lin relaxed. Once it reached this step, there were rarely any problems.

On the fifth day, the pills were ready. Thanks to the isolation from the array, Dugu Nian outside didn’t know what kind of pill Fang Lin had refined.

Looking at the two crystal-clear white pills in the Pill Furnace, the corner of Fang Lin’s mouth twitched upwards in accomplishment, he finally managed to refine them.

A pile of medicinal herbs and a rare Demon Core yielded only two Wind-controlling Pills.

Although the quantity was a bit small, Fang Lin was satisfied. After all, he only needed to take one, and the extra one could either be given to someone else or exchanged with others for something.

Packing up the Golden Flame Cauldron, Fang Lin sat cross-legged and directly ingested one of the just-refined, still-hot Wind-controlling Pills.

As soon as the pill entered his body, it turned into a clear stream and slid into Fang Lin’s body.

Fang Lin shivered all over, feeling as if he had swallowed an ice cube. It was so cold that it made his mind much clearer.

But soon, Fang Lin felt as if there were breezes blowing around his body.

“It worked!” Fang Lin was overjoyed. He stood up and started to practice the Nine Heavens Step Skill inside the house.

If someone had witnessed this, they would have been flabbergasted.

Because, at that moment, Fang Lin was moving around like a gust of wind, making it difficult to catch even his shadow.

If a regular person has seen this, they would probably be terrified, believing that they’ve seen a ghost.

Fang Lin was quite satisfied with the effect of the Wind-controlling Pill. He already mastered the Nine Heavens Step Skill, and now that he had taken a Wind-controlling Pill, it was just like adding wings to a tiger.

With Fang Lin’s current strength, unless he encountered an earth element master, he was no longer afraid of anyone below an earth element.

In uplifted spirits, Fang Lin deactivated the array and walked out of the house, immediately spotting Dugu Nian feeling glum outside the house.

Seeing Fang Lin come out, Dugu Nian instantly stood up, her face full of anticipation, “Are you ready to teach me Shaking Three Mountains?”
