The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Four beams of light were ascendant, within which four majestic figures appeared.

“The Four Saints! It’s the Four Saints!”

“The Four Saints have shown mercy!”

“Quickly, pay homage to the Four Saints!”

People looked up at the four figures, all exclaiming in astonishment. Many knelt to the ground, worshiping the figures of The Four Saints.

One by one, the elders of the Pill Sect appeared and when they saw Fang Lin in the center of the Pill Array, their expressions varied greatly.

Zhao Dengming and others glared at each other, their faces unpleasant. They looked at Fang Lin with lethal intentions.

Whiz!

Suddenly, amidst the sound of breaking wind, something swiftly appeared from one of the light beams.

It was a golden pill, the size of a baby’s fist. It flew out from the light beam and headed straight toward Fang Lin.

Fang Lin laughed heartily. This Golden Core was one legacy of the Four Saints.

The Golden Core fell with a loud whistle, and it seemed as if the entire sky was being enveloped by a golden light, the intoxicating scent of the pill was irresistible to those present.

At this moment, countless people wanted to seize the Golden Core, but no one dared.

This was the legacy of the Four Saints. If anyone attempted to seize it, they would likely be killed immediately by the Saints’ majesty.

And this Golden Core belonged to only one person — Fang Lin.

In the eyes of the public, the Golden Core flew directly to Fang Lin and quietly floated in front of him.

Fang Lin reached out his hand, and the Golden Core obediently fell onto his palm. He felt a warm energy flowing throughout his body as soon as he held it.

Fang Lin felt his injuries seemed to ease and his body felt indescribably comfortable.

Without hesitation, Fang Lin swallowed the golden pill.

Seeing this, many around him were filled with envy and jealousy. This priceless golden pill was ultimately consumed by Fang Lin.

“Hmph! Swallowing it carelessly like this, aren’t you afraid of poison?” Zhao Dengming coldly voiced, albeit with jealousy.

As the Golden Core entered his body, Fang Lin felt an extraordinary aura spreading within him, as if he was about to fly.

Fang Lin immediately sat cross-legged, quietly refining the power of the Golden Core.

In a short while, Fang Lin’s injuries were completely healed, and his body was undergoing a fundamental transformation.

Whiz! Whiz! Whiz!

Four figures descended from the sky, they were four elders, with ancient appearances and an enduring aura, surrounding Fang Lin protectively.

Seeing the arrival of these four elders, those who were worried about Fang Lin, such as Meng Wuyou, immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

In contrast, Zhao Dengming and the others looked as if they had lost everything, with utmost displeasure on their faces.

These four individuals were neither from the Pill Sect nor from the Martial Sect. They were subordinates of the Sect Master Han Luoyun, and were among the strongest in the sect.

There was no doubt, they were dispatched by Han Luoyun. Only he had enough influence over these respected seniors.

The reason these four elder men were here was evident- to protect Fang Lin.

Fang Lin opened his eyes and looked at the four elders. One of them respectfully nodded at Fang Lin, reassuring him.

With the protection of these four elders, he could peacefully inherit the legacy of the Four Saints, without worrying about the Gu family meddling.

From a hiding spot, a shadowy figure watched the four elders arrive and protect Fang Lin, then quietly left.

The Pill Sect’s Gu Daofeng shattered the Message Transmitting Jade Slip, seething with rage within the main hall.

“Father, if this continues, the Four Saints inheritance will really end up with that beast!” Gu Hanshan seemed anxious.

Gu Daofeng frowned deeply: “The Sect Master has sent people to protect Fang Lin. We can’t touch him now.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Hanshan gritted his teeth with jealousy towards Fang Lin reaching its peak.

That was the inheritance of the Four Saints — something Gu Hanshan had dreamt of acquiring. But now, it was about to be seized by Fang Lin, how could Gu Hanshan tolerate this?

Gu Daofeng sighed deeply: “The Sect Master is the Sect Master after all. Although he doesn’t have any concrete evidence, he knows what we did and is protecting Fang Lin as a warning to us. I’m afraid it will be riskier to deal with Fang Lin in the future.”

Hearing these words, Gu Hanshan eventually calmed down a little, knowing that there was no chance to stop Fang Lin now.

But he was still angry and unwilling. Since Fang Lin appeared, good fortune had only fallen on him.

If it wasn’t for Fang Lin, Gu Hanshan would still be the top genius of the Pill Sect. Once he passed the Pill Forest Stele in a few years, he would have the opportunity to inherit the Four Saints’ legacy.

If Fang Lin weren’t around, Gu Hanshan would smoothly take over the position of Sect Head from his father Gu Daofeng, and there could even be a possibility for him to become the Sect Master when Han Luoyun steps down.

Of course, this is only possible if Fang Lin didn’t exist.

But now, Fang Lin had snatched away his title as the top genius of the Pill Sect and even the Four Saints’ legacy. If Fang Lin wasn’t eliminated, it would be challenging for Gu Hanshan to get ahead.

“Hanshan, even if Fang Lin gets the inheritance of the Four Saints today, there is still a chance for things to turn around. The day when the Endless Dungeon opens is getting closer, and both you and Fang Lin will go there. How you seize the opportunity then depends on you.” Gu Daofeng said solemnly.

Hearing his father’s words, Gu Hanshan reluctantly perked up and nodded.

“Hm? His cultivation level is increasing so quickly!” Above the Pill Array, the four guardian old men were all taken aback, and then looked at Fang Li with a more serious gaze.

Fang Lin’s cultivation level, after swallowing the Golden Core, increased tremendously. With just the time of a single incense stick burning, he had already broken through to the Earth Element Fourth Level.

A breakthrough of two levels, showing the extraordinary nature of the Golden Core.

Moreover, the breakthrough didn’t stop, it continued.

Another stick of incense’s time passed, and Fang Lin’s body reverberated with thunder-like rumbles, as if a giant beast was roaring within him.

Earth Element fifth level!

Fang Lin opened his eyes, a strong golden light flashing. This was not the Micro Gold Pupil, but the powerful embodiment of the Golden Core.

“If I continue to refine the Golden Core, it will be enough for me to break through to the Earth Element Seventh Level, but such a breakthrough would lead to instability and potential danger in the future.” Fang Lin thought to himself.

Then, the golden light gradually receded. There was still about 30% of the Golden Core’s power left unrefined in Fang Lin’s body, which he chose to integrate into his flesh and bones.

The four elders saw Fang Lin not rushing to refine and showed appreciative expressions. If they were to rush for cultivation, even though the power of the Golden Core was powerful, the disadvantages would eventually outweigh the benefits.

At this time, something was once again flying out from the four light pillars.
