Chapter 152: Chapter 152: Fang Lin Making Trouble
Translator: 549690339
“My pills! Damn it!!!”
“Fang Lin! I’ll fight you!”
“You damn son of a bitch!”
The Li family’s disciples were in a frenzy, despite being in the Pill Alliance. They were all madly roaring and wanting to lay hands on Fang Lin.
They had no choice but to freak out. They had painstakingly refined a batch of Nurturing Breath Pills, only for them all to be ruined now. The scent of charred pills filled the entire Examination Hall.
“What are you doing? Is mobbing fair?” Fang Lin put on an air of imminent danger, yelling loudly.
The Li Family’s disciples cared little for fairness. Their eyes were bloodshot, filled with blazing rage, eager to tear apart the very cause of their misery: Fang Lin.
“This is a sacred place of the Pill Alliance! Who dares to act rashly?” Elder Su roared. His invisible might instantly spread across the hall, enveloping the entire Examination Hall.
Those among the Li Family disciples who had the intention to attack were all petrified, unable to move due to the crushing aura of Elder Su.
Seeing the resentment and wrath on the faces of the Li family disciples, no words could describe Fang Lin’s joy. He almost burst into laughter.
“Come on. Weren’t you going to throw some punches? Well, here I am, standing right here for you. Can you hit me?” Fang Lin tauntingly said with a smirk.
Those immobilized Li Family disciples were seething with anger, shouting incoherently. With all the pressure on them, they could only watch Fang Lin’s arrogance yet couldn’t do anything about it.
The elder Li clenched his fists until they made noise, his expression growing darker as he looked at Elder Su.
Elder Su coldly glanced at him, “This is Pill Alliance. Here, I have the final say. If your Li family descendants violate the rules of the Pill Alliance, they should be punished. Even if your Li Family Head comes here, it will not change my decision.’
At his words, everyone from the Li family except for Li Chong had their faces turn pale. They looked at Elder Su and the Li family elder in horror.
The disciples of my family did not really attack Fang Lin, and the reason for their failure is also due to his manipulation. Our successors should be given another chance!”
Elder Su hummed, glancing at the Li family elder, “Elder Li, this is Pill Alliance. I am the one who oversees this place and I have the final say. If your Li family’s disciples break the rules of Pill Alliance, they must be punished. Even if your Family Head comes in person, this won’t change.”
At his words, the Li Family elder was so angry that he wished he could have a full-scale battle with Elder Su. However, he had to swallow his humiliation.
He was right. This is the Pill Alliance. Even if the Li family can throw their weight around in the Qian Kingdom and disregard even the Daqian Dynasty, they must still act modestly in front of the Pill Alliance.
Not to mention a mere Li family, even ten Li families combined could not compare to the Pill Alliance.
Even if the elder Li was livid and wanted to kill Fang Lin, he definitely could not do it in the Pill Alliance. Otherwise, not only would he be unable to kill Fang Lin, but he would also cause trouble for himself. The Pill Alliance wouldn’t grant face to the Li family’s Family Head. They would deal with them in any manner they saw fit.
However, the elder Li was too outraged! His heart was bleeding with the feeling of loss. Over half of these thirteen disciples could have become real Pill Refiners, yet they were destroyed by Fang Lin.
If this was anywhere other than the Pill Alliance, the elder Li would have fought to the death to kill Fang Lin on the spot.
The elder Li wore a terrifying gloomy expression and didn’t say a word. He knew that his words won’t change Elder Su’s decision.
The thirteen disciples of the Li family, looking deathly pale with a defeated spirit, were driven out of the Examination Hall by the Pill Alliance steward. After his pill furnace, Li Chong was looking around with a bitter smile on his face.
The Li family, initially with an abundance of people, was now reduced to just him. The other thirteen disciples who had a promising future were all thwarted by Fang Lin.
Even if Li Chong did not care about the fate of those thirteen people, Fang Lin’s actions had undeniably slapped the Li family’s face hard. As the Alchemy Tao talent of the Li family, Li Chong naturally couldn’t swallow this down.
Fang Lin’s gaze met Li Chong’s, whose eyes were filled with bitterness, while Fang Lin was indifferent. He seemed to not take Li Chong seriously at all.
At this moment, Elder Su, elder Li, Ouyang Jing, and the Pill Alliance stewards were all looking at Fang Lin. Especially Elder Su, his eyes were gleaming as if he had discovered a priceless treasure.
“I originally thought that this boy only knew a smattering about Shaking Three
Mountains. Turns out, this boy might have inherited some ancient Alchemy
Tao knowledge. Hence he was able to perform such a complete Shaking Three Mountains. It’s truly rare. I must acquire this Shaking Three Mountains Imowledge at all cost,” Elder Su thought to himself, his eyes gleaming.
Ouyang Jing looked at Fang Lin, with admiration and sentiment in his eyes.
Though Ouyang Jing himself was a genius, compared to Fang Li, he felt that he couldn’t be called one.
And for the elder Li, hatred was all he had. He originally hated Fang Lin due to his status as a disciple of Purple Mist Sect. Now, he also hated Fang Lin because he caused thirteen disciples of his Li family to be barred from entering Pill Alliance for three years.
This practically ruined the futures of these thirteen disciples of the Li family. Even if Fang Lin wasn’t a disciple of the Purple Mist Sect, the Li family would never be able to forgive Fang Lin. A profound enmity was forged between both parties.
“The examination time is over. You two, don’t touch your pill furnaces anymore. We will judge the pills you have refined,” said the Pill Alliance steward as he sighed. He noticed that the time had run out on the nearby hourglass.
At this moment, Fang Lin had already completed his last step. Li Chong had also finished his pill refining, wiping away a bead of sweat from his forehead.
Li Chong was still frightened. He knew that Fang Lin was capable of performing Shaking Three Mountains but never underrated him. Howbeit, he did not expect Fang Lin’s Shaking Three Mountains to be so formidable. If he had not protected his pill furnace timely with the Soul Commanding Pill Fire, he might have fallen into Fang Lin’s trap too.
Both of them stepped back a few steps. The Pill Alliance stewards came over to open their pill furnaces and took out the pills that had been refined.
All eyes were on Fang Lin. Everyone wanted to see how many Nurturing Breath Pills Fang Lin had refined after performing Shaking Three Mountains.
Only the elder Li glanced at Li Chong for a couple of times. This infuriated Li Chong. He was gnashing his teeth in anger at Fang Lin.
One, two, three…
Every time the Pill Alliance steward took out a Nurturing Breath Pill from Fang Lin’s pill furnace, people counted silently.
When they counted to nine, their facial expressions turned peculiar.
“How is that possible?” Li Chong widened his eyes. His eyeballs almost popped out.
He only managed to refine six pills on his side. It was already a great achievement to exceed the qualification requirement by one. But on Fang Lin’s side, he surprisingly refined so many pills and was still taking out more.
Twelve, thirteen, fourteen…
It wasn’t until the 18th Nurturing Breath Pill was taken out, that the Pill Alliance steward—his face twitching—looked into the furnace again. He sighed with relief when he confirmed that there were no more pills left..
