Translator: 549690339
“Isn’t that Fang Lin? What’s he doing at the Pill Array?”
“Look at his injuries, I heard he was ambushed.”
“I think the incident a few days ago was related to Fang Lin.”
Fang Lin’s appearance at the Pill array, injured, immediately drew the attention of many disciples. After all, the incident a few days ago was so dramatic that many disciples are still reeling from it.
Dugu Nian, who by now had no good feelings towards the Pill Sect, saw so many people staring at them and snapped, “What are you all looking at? Never seen us before?”
Fang Lin didn’t seem to care about the whispers around him. He stared at the statues of the Four Saints of Pill Sect with a determined expression.
At the same time, the news of Fang Lin appearing at the Pill Array reached Gu Daofeng.
“He’s at the Pill Array?” Gu Daofeng furrowed his brow hearing this. Somehow, he had a bad feeling about this.
“This Fang Lin, even when he’s severely injured, he’s still roaming around recklessly. He’s really courting death!” Gu Hanshan added with a cold laugh beside him.
Gu Daofeng shook his head, then ordered the person below, “Send some people to keep an eye on Fang Lin. Let me know immediately if there’s any news.”
“Yes!” The servant left.
Gu Hanshan was confused, “Father, Fang Lin ambushed, he dares to stir up trouble at this time?”
Gu Daofeng said, “This young man is extraordinary. This time he’s been beaten by us, I suppose he’s not going to swallow this insult, I’m afraid he’s going to do something.”
Gu Hanshan didn’t take this seriously. In his view, Fang Lin nearly lost his life this time, he should know enough to fear now, and yet he still dares to cause trouble, does he not fear death at all?
At the same time, Han Yinyue also learned about Fang Lin’s appearance at the Pill Array, and she was also as puzzled as Gu Daofeng.
“Xiaoxing, you go watch Fang Lin. If anything happens, intervene immediately,” Han Yinyue instructed her younger sister.
Han Xiaoxing silently picked up her sword and left.
Inside the Purple Mist Great Hall, Han Luoyun sat with his eyes closed, a Message Transmitting Jade Slip in his hand.
“Go see what this boy is up to,” Han Luoyun commanded.
Above the Pill Array, the crowd of onlookers grew larger. People were openly and secretly watching Fang Lin, wanting to know his next move.
As for Fang Lin, he was waiting for these people to show up. This time he intended to make a big scene, so naturally, he was waiting for all the spectators to gather.
Seeing that most people had arrived, Fang Lin took a deep breath and bowed deeply to the statues of the Four Saints.
“Junior Fang Lin, today, pays respects to the Four Saints, seeking inheritance of the Four Saints!” Fang Lin said loudly, his tone solemn and sincere.
Upon hearing Fang Lin’s words, the people around him were all aghast and gasped in cool air.
Fang Lin, he actually wants to obtain the inheritance hidden within the Four Saints statues? Has he gone mad? Or has he been knocked senseless?
Keep in mind, the statues of the Four Saints of the Pill Sect have been here for hundreds of years now. Over these hundreds of years, there were not a few geniuses who had tried to obtain the inheritance, but none have succeeded.
Even Gu Hanshan had tried years ago, but the Four Saints statues did not respond at all.
According to the legends passed down from generation to generation, only when you have reached the ninety-ninth stone tablet in the Pill Forest can you possibly obtain the Four Saints inheritance.
If you don’t meet this prerequisite, don’t even think about the Four Saints inheritance.
“This Fang Lin, seems truly out of his mind.”
“Although he’s a genius, trying to obtain the inheritance of the Four Saints seems unrealistic.”
“Wait a second, it seems that Fang Lin’s name has already appeared on the stone tablet in front of the ancient cave, and it’s listed alongside the Four Saints.”
Most of the disciples of the Pill Sect felt that Fang Lin was just daydreaming and found it hilariously ridiculous.
They acknowledged that Fang Lin was a genius, but the inheritance of the Four Saints of the Pill Sect, was it something anyone could just casually obtain? If it were that simple, that inheritance would have been taken long ago.
However, there were also some disciples of the Pill Sect who were somewhat hopeful for Fang Lin. Other people might not have any chance of success, but if it is Fang Lin, it might actually be possible.
At least, Fang Lin had once elicited a response from the Four Saints statues and left his golden name on the stone tablet in front of the ancient cave.
In other words, Fang Lin has already met the most important prerequisite for obtaining the inheritance of the Four Saints.
All eyes were focused intently, a pair of eyes all on Fang Lin. There were those with good intentions, and those with ill intentions.
But without a doubt, at this moment, Fang Lin was once again the focus of the entire Pill Sect. Even the entire Purple Mist Sect had set their sights on him.
After Fang Lin made the offering, the four statues didn’t respond. However, he wasn’t bothered and instead sat cross-legged, extending his right hand.
Puff!
A blue flame appeared above Fang Lin’s right hand. It carried the scent of the sea, and faint sounds of crashing waves could be heard coming from within the flame.
“Soul Commanding Pill Fire! It’s the Soul Commanding Pill Fire!”
“When did Fang Lin get the Soul Commanding Pill Fire?”
“What’s he trying to do?”
The appearance of the Soul Commanding Pill Fire elicited another round of exclamation from the crowd. As a Pill Refiner, everyone wished they could possess the Soul Commanding Pill Fire, but within the whole Pill Sect, those who possessed the Soul Commanding Pill Fire were few and far between.
“With this fire as proof, I, the younger generation Fang Lin, have scaled the Pill Forest Stone Tablets and received the fortune of the ancient cave. May the Four Saints witness!” Fang Lin called out again.
As he spoke, the blue flame soared, morphing into four dragon-shaped flames which circled around the Four Saints statues.
This scene left the onlookers side-eyeing each other, secretly admiring Fang Lin’s extraordinary luck to have obtained the Soul Commanding Pill Fire in the ancient cave. It was truly enviable.
Buzz Buzz Buzz!!!
At that moment, the Four Saints statues suddenly shone with a blinding light, just as they had during the incident a few days ago.
This change left everyone present shocked. Some even rubbed their eyes, wondering if they were seeing things.
“Impossible! How can the Four Saints respond?”
“Oh God, am I dreaming?”
“Could it be that Fang Lin really qualifies for the inheritance of the Four Saints?”
The Pill Sect disciples stared wide-eyed, unable to look away from the four dazzling beams of light in the sky.
Those who were openly or secretly watching Fang Lin were all dumbfounded, each bringing out their Message Transmitting Jade Slip to report back to their superiors.
Actually, there was no need to report. The reappearance of the Four Saints’ light was witnessed in real time by everyone in the Purple Mist Sect.
Han Luoyun stood outside the Great Hall, looking at the four beams of light appearing from the direction of the Pill Array. He ordered, “Go have a look and make sure no one disturbs him.”
Immediately, four figures behind Han Luoyun disappeared, heading straight towards the Pill Array.
And in the Pill Sect, Gu Daofeng and Gu Hanshan, upon seeing the Four Saints’ light pillars reemerge and hearing the reports from their men, immediately changed color.
“Damn it! He should die! He’s worse than a pig or a dog, how dare he try to receive the Four Saints’ inheritance!” Gu Hanshan could not conceal his anger and continued his curses.
Gu Daofeng’s gaze was equally gloomy as he nodded towards a figure in the shadows.
