Translator: 549690339
Other than those who had been following Fang Lin all along, the rest of the people present were looking at Fang Lin with great shock and fear.
Kang Lu’s face was twisted, his heart filled with shock and unwillingness. He couldn’t believe that in just over a year, Fang Lin had reached the eighth level of the Human Origin, far surpassing himself.
Not long ago, Fang Lin was only slightly stronger than him, but now, the gap was not small but resembled a comparison between a mountain and a pebble.
Fang Lin was unrestrained in displaying his Inner Strength, glowing like a star, incredibly dazzling at this moment.
“Kang Lu, when I used to beat you up, I didn’t need to exert much effort. Now when I beat you, one hand is enough to leave you on the ground looking for your teeth. What do you consider yourself? You can’t match my skills in Pill Refining nor beat me in a fight,” said Fang Lin bluntly, each word slicing into Kang Lu’s heart like a sharp knife.
Kang Lu’s face turned red with rage, his heart filled with overwhelming anger and a sense of powerlessness.
What Fang Lin said was right; without realizing it, Kang Lu had long been surpassed by Fang Lin.
Even though Kang Lu had resources, connections, and Yu Qiufan as his backer, he still couldn’t match Fang Lin in either Pill Refining or Martial Arts.
Not to mention his skills in Alchemy Tao, Fang Lin’s progress to the eighth level of the Human Origin would be enough to compare him with the top disciples in the entire Pill Sect.
Even with connections, everything seemed pale and powerless in front of absolute strength.
Li Min was the most excited at this moment, watching as Kang Lu trembled in front of Fang Lin, he felt exceedingly satisfying.
“Even if you took my White Bird Fruit, you are like a dog lying on the ground in front of Fang Lin,” Li Min thought to himself.
Kang Lu tried to stand up, but the overpowering Inner Strength that Fang Lin was radiating made him stagger back helplessly. When he finally steadied himself, Fang Lin had suddenly appeared before him.
Kang Lu was startled and fell to the ground again. He looked at Fang Lin in fear and asked, “What do you want to do? You can’t make a move on your fellow disciple within Medicine-Seeking Peak, surely you don’t want to break the rules?”
Fang Lin stood above Kang Lu. The strong figure who had once been like a king amidst the Pill Apprentices was now trembling at his feet.
However, Fang Lin felt no sense of accomplishment. Having experienced his former life, Fang Lin had never taken the likes of Kang Lu seriously.
“Hand over the White Bird Fruit, or you’ll find it hard to move an inch on Medicine-Seeking Peak,” Fang Lin said, with what looked like a smile.
Kang Lu almost spat out blood; he had just said these words to Li Min not long ago, and now they were being thrown back at him.
Li Min felt extremely satisfying. Even though he had lost the White Bird Fruit, he felt relieved seeing Kang Lu in such a miserable state. The resentment he had felt earlier due to Kang Lu’s oppression was completely dispelled.
As for those who were following Kang Lu, none of them dared to utter a word. No one dared to stand up for Kang Lu. They were all stunned by Fang Lin’s eighth level of the Human Origin.
Xu Shangao, Wu Mengsheng and the others were all holding their heads high and feeling proud.
Fang Lin’s display of dominance gave them a sense of honor. It also proved that their choice to follow Fang Lin was absolutely correct.
Kang Lu couldn’t stand up in the face of Fang Lin’s formidable Inner Strength and could only glare at him with fierce resentment.
If looks could kill, Kang Lu’s malevolent stare would have killed Fang Lin many times over by now.
“Want the White Bird Fruit? You can have it if you kill me, how about it? Dare to make your move?” Kang Lu laughed heartily, his eyes filled with mockery and recklessness.
Fang Lin sighed, shook his head, grabbed Kang Lu’s throat and lifted him up as if he were a small chicken.
“Brother Fang, don’t be impulsive,” seeing this, Xu Shangao felt something was wrong and swiftly cautioned him to prevent any rash behaviour.
“Brother Fang, don’t do it!” Even Li Min, who was looking forward to seeing Fang Lin beat up Kang Lu, quickly advised.
Everyone knew, if Fang Lin made his move, the situation would completely change. Anyone violating the rules of the Medicine-Seeking Peak would face severe punishment.
What Kang Lu hoped most at this moment was for Fang Lin to strike him. Even if he got beaten up, Fang Lin wouldn’t escape punishment.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Fang Lin’s mouth, and he looked at Kang Lu scornfully.
“Do you think I’m as stupid as you? I don’t have to hit you to make you wish you were dead,” Fang Lin said lightly, laughing.
As he spoke, Fang Lin took out a pill and shoved it into Kang Lu’s mouth.
Kang Lu tried to spit the pill out, but Fang Lin gripped his throat so tightly that, with a gulp, the pill was swallowed by Kang Lu.
Fang Lin grinned, threw Kang Lu to the ground, brushed off his hands, and ignored him.
Kang Lu squatted on the ground, his face filled with terror, constantly digging at his throat, trying to vomit out the pill he had just swallowed.
But despite retching for a while, only saliva came out, and the pill remained ingested.
“Don’t bother, that pill dissolves as soon as it enters the body and has already flowed into your meridians,” said Fang Lin, with a gleeful grin.
Kang Lu’s face turned pale as a sheet, devoid of any color. He shouted hoarsely,
“What did you make me eat?”
Everyone else was also very curious, what exactly had Fang Lin made Kang Lu eat?
Fang Lin gave a faint smile, “Nothing much, just a little poison pill known as
Lost Heart Pill.”
Upon hearing the words “Lost Heart Pill”, Kang Lu looked baffled, clearly unaware of what that was.
Fang Lin explained, “A person who takes the Lost Heart Pill will lose his sanity after a month and become manic. After a hundred days, he will appear as a beast, bleeding internally. The key is, this Lost Heart Pill is imperceptible once it enters the body and goes straight into one’s heart meridian.”
Upon hearing this, Kang Lu turned as pale as a ghost, a look of despair appearing in his eyes.
The others shivered deeply, Fang Lin was incredibly ruthless and cruel to use such a malevolent pill on Kang Lu.
“You’re lying! There’s no such thing as Lost Heart Pill. You’re just talking nonsense!” Kang Lu suddenly shouted, his face twisted.
No wonder Kang Lu didn’t believe him, the Lost Heart Pill was unheard of, naturally, he didn’t believe Fang Lin.
Fang Lin clicked his tongue, “Look at your chest and see if there are any abnormalities.”
Kang Lu paused, quickly lifted his shirt, and when he saw his chest, he felt utterly hopeless.
The others also saw a distinct, though small, purple mark on Kang Lu’s chest.
It was visibly present..
