The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 771: Chapter 771: Verify Again

The reason why Fang Lin answered in this way is not because he wanted to show off but because he didn’t pay attention to Elder Wang’s lecture at all. He just pretended to be interested and his mind was anywhere but here. Who knows what he was thinking at that moment, anyway he just listened a little at the beginning of the lecture.

Since he had no idea what Elder Wang was talking about, when Fang Lin had to answer this question, he could only draw from his own experience.

His response, however, caused trouble. Fang Lin’s accomplishment in Alchemy Tao was so profound that he knew plenty of ways to improve the Three-patterned Essence Pill. He casually mentioned a few, which shocked everyone present.

It was because Fang Lin had thrown out several improvement methods at once, that the elders immediately retorted. They simply didn’t believe what Fang Lin said, thinking that he was just amusing himself and talking nonsense.

“Fang Lin, are these methods you mentioned really feasible?” Elder Wang, however, kept frowning, scrutinizing the methods said by Fang Lin.

Fang Lin bowed his fist: “Of course they are.”

“Hmph! We, as elders of the North Town Hall, have been studying Alchemy Tao for so many years. There is obviously only one way to improve the Three-patterned Essence Pill, but you are saying there are several methods. Do you think that your perception of Tao is deeper than ours?” The first elder to criticize coldly said. This man is also an old man with a thin face, messy and dry hair. However, his eyes were extremely sharp, like a hawk.

This old man was from Ling Family in Alchemy Tao fraternity, a relative of Ling Zhongtian, and naturally supported Ling Zhongtian. He verbally attacked Fang Lin at this moment simply because he did not want Fang Lin to overshadow Ling Zhongtian.

“What a idle boast from the young man, it’s ridiculously hilarious,” another elder said. This was a wrinkled old lady wielding an iron cane, chuckling.

The old lady was supportive of Shen Xue Jian. Although she was not from the Shen Family of Alchemy Tao, she did have a good relationship with the Shen Family.

“I’ve never heard that the Three-patterned Essence Pill has such several methods of improvement. Are we too old and ill-informed?” Another elder behind Zhu Yuntao.

These three elders were initially in conflict, but now they were united against Fang Lin.

Elder Miao could not bear it and said: “The truth of Fang Lin’s words still needs to be tested. Isn’t it too much to reason like this?”

“Elder Miao, do you also agree with Fang Lin’s nonsense?” The three elders all looked at Elder Miao, the old lady sneered.

In his heart, Elder Miao was secretly distressed, he also thought that the several improvement methods mentioned by Fang Lin were unreliable. He even didn’t mention the traditional improvement method they were all familiar with. Even Elder Miao barely believed what Fang Lin said.

But after all, he had chosen to support Fang Lin at this time so he couldn’t let Fang Lin be downtrodden by others. He had to grit his teeth and continue to speak up for Fang Lin.

“We can only draw a conclusion about whether it’s nonsense after the validation. The rash words of the three of you might come back to slap your own face.” Elder Miao hummed.

“Elder Miao, you are overly worried.” The old man from the Ling Family said indifferently, seeming quite nonchalant.

In the midst of the verbal battle among the elders, Elder Wang remained silent thoughtfully, as if he hadn’t heard the elders at all.

Looking at these elders, Fang Lin thought with disdain, you are criticizing me with such limited knowledge? If this were my previous life, all of you combined wouldn’t be qualified to be my Pill Apprentice.

The young pill refiners held a variety of expressions; they didn’t expect Fang Lin’s answer to cause an argument among the elders.

But it’s understandable, after all, Fang Lin is a registered disciple with special status. The elders who support Ling Zhongtian would naturally want to counter Fang Lin.

Ling Zhongtian was unaffected, as if he didn’t care about the dispute. Zhu Yuntao, on the other hand, had a cold smile on his face as he wanted Fang Lin to be more intensively attacked.

Shen Xue Jian only glanced at Fang Lin with contempt, thinking that he was just a laughable person and didn’t consider him a challenger at all.

Mo Yun was different, he looked intensely at Fang Lin as if his mind was working.

“Enough.” At last, the Hall Master of North Town Hall spoke. His voice was cold and authoritative. He quickly silenced everyone there, causing the elders to immediately shut their mouths and apologize to the Hall Master.

The Hall Master looked at Fang Lin and asked, “Fang Lin, can the few improvement methods you mentioned stand the test?”

Fang Lin immediately replied, “Of course they can.”

“Good, then here, Elder Wang will personally validate.” The Hall Master of the North Town Hall decisively said.

Upon hearing the order, Elder Wang nodded. As he wanted to validate it personally, he pulled out a pill furnace without hesitation.

As an elder, especially a senior one, his pill furnace was naturally not inferior, which aroused the envy of many young pill refiners.

“Let’s all bear witness.” Elder Wang said, and according to one of the improvement methods mentioned by Fang Lin, he began refining the Three-patterned Essence Pill.

His skilful maneuvers, expert techniques, and the discerning attention to the smallest details, were all reflected in Elder Wang’s refining.

Compared to Elder Wang, many of the young pill refiners present were far less proficient. Even though many of them were talented, they hadn’t experienced enough years to refine their skills.

Soon, some people’s expressions changed, including those three elders who had first spoken against Fang Lin.

“Why has it advanced so quickly to this step?”

“It seems that a lot of steps were skipped in the middle.”

“This method is very unusual.”

···

People voiced their thoughts, secretly marveling.

Elder Wang, while in the process of refining, found it incredible. It was the first time using this method to refine the Three-patterned Essence Pill and the result was surprisingly good. The progress was much faster than the common refinement method. It seemed to be better than the popularly known improvement method.

The Three-patterned Essence Pill, which usually took a few days to complete, was finished in just one day. This was because it was Elder Wang’s first time using this method. If he could get used to it and polish his skills after refining a few more times, the efficiency would be even higher.

“It is really a success.” A lot of people exclaimed in astonishment.

Fang Lin smiled, the several improvement methods he mentioned were very clever. If they couldn’t be used to refine the pill successfully, it would be a doubt to Elder Wang’s own refining skill.

At this moment though, the ones whose faces were the most gloomy were, without a doubt, the three elders who had initially criticized Fang Lin.
