Chapter 191: Chapter 191: Fang Lin’s Idea

Translator: 549690339

It turned out that Gu Daofeng had an only son, named Gu Hanshan, who was now one of the True Disciples of the Pill Sect.

Before Fang Lin came to the Pill Sect, its proudest genius was Gu Hanshan.

With personal guidance from Gu Daofeng and access to resources others could hardly afford, Gu Hanshan’s path was smooth sailing. It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a smooth journey.

Everyone in the Pill Sect thought Gu Hanshan would be the next chief.

However, after the emergence of Fang Lin, Gu Hanshan’s title as the number one genius of the Pill Sect was no longer relevant.

Compared to Gu Hanshan, Fang Lin had no resources, no background, and no famous teacher, but within just over a year, he leaped from being a small Pill Apprentice to a second-tier Pill Refiner, and even became a mid-level disciple.

Not only that, Fang Lin mastered alchemy techniques such as Shaking Three Mountains and Micro Gold Pupil and defeated top disciples in the field of alchemy, even turning the tide in the competition with the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect and saving the Pill Sect from defeat.

After that, Fang Lin also made a splash in the Pill Alliance’s examinations, taking the lead in all of them and passing them with perfect scores, suddenly stepping onto the Second Cauldron Pill Refiner ranking list of Qian Country.

All these achievements highlight the genius of Fang Lin.

In comparison, Gu Hanshan seemed much weaker, which was why Gu Daofeng harbored such resentment towards Fang Lin.

Not out of jealousy for himself, but for his son, Gu Hanshan.

If Fang Lin continued to grow at such a dazzling rate, Gu Hanshan might not have the chance to become the chief of the Pill Sect.

Therefore, Gu Daofeng was determined to undermine Fang Lin and consolidate his son’s position in the Pill Sect to ensure a smooth transition of power to Gu

Hanshan in the future.

Fang Lin had never heard of Gu Hanshan’s name before, but now that Han Yinyue mentioned it, he understood.

“Since Gu Hanshan is Gu Daofeng’s son, why does it seem like no one in the Pill Sect ever mentions him?” Fang Lin asked, somewhat puzzled.

Han Yinyue replied,”Gu Hanshan’s name is only known to the Pill Sect’s elders and some top disciples. Gu Daofeng has gone to great lengths for him, hardly ever allowing Gu Hanshan to show his face in the Pill Sect and always teaching him in secret. When the time is ripe, Gu Hanshan will be presented before all members of the Pill Sect.” 𝚏r𝐞𝗲𝚠eb𝚗o𝐯el.com

Fang Lin nodded, understanding that Gu Daofeng was not satisfied with merely holding the position of chief himself and wanted his son to continue to occupy this seat.

“So, what’s Gu Hanshan’s status now?” Fang Lin asked.

After pondering for a moment, Han Yinyue said, “I’m not clear about his alchemy level, but four years ago, he was already a second-tier pill refiner. As for his martial arts level, it’s no weaker than yours.”

Fang Lin made a secret estimation, Gu Hanshan was already a second-tier pill refiner four years ago? He estimated that Gu Hanshan should probably be at the level of a three-cauldron pill refiner now, indeed a formidable figure.

“Anyway, I tell you all this hoping that you’d be careful. I’ve met Gu Hanshan before. He is even more ruthless and vicious than his father. Since you pose a threat to his position, he probably won’t let you off easily.” After finishing, Han Yinyue left and Fang Lin sent her out of the courtyard.

Dugu Nian came out of his room after seeing Han Yinyue leave and said with a

disgruntled face, “So it turns out that your chief is such a horrible person. He suppresses you only for the sake of his son. I can’t believe how he became the chief of the Pill Sect.”

Fang Lin smiled, “It’s not surprising. After all, they are doing it for their son.”

Even though he said this, Fang Lin was actually quite unhappy at heart. Just because Gu Hanshan is Gu Daofeng’s son, do they need to suppress me? If that’s the case, don’t blame me, Fang Lin, for making both father and son lose face.

Fang Lin is a man who always pays back what he has received. Having suffered so much from Gu Daofeng before, he had been planning a counterattack all along.

Now, Fang Lin had a good plan.

Every three months, the Pill Pavilion of the Pill Sect would distribute a batch of pills as cultivation resources to the Martial Sect. These pills are mostly for supplementing cultivation, neither very good nor very bad in quality.

But recently, due to an increase in the number of disciples in the Martial Sect, the demand for pills has also increased. However, the Pill Pavilion still only distributed a fixed quantity, leading to uneven distribution. There has been a continuous outcry from the Martial Sect.

The Pill Pavilion is under the influence of Gu Daofeng. The elders who administer the Pill Pavilion are basically all Gu Daofeng’s confidants. It can be said that the Pill Pavilion has always been a very important card in Gu

Daofeng’s hand.

After all, if the disciples of the Martial Sect want to exchange for any pills, they have to go to the Pill Pavilion. Everybody knows that the Pill Pavilion is a place

that takes advantage of people, but they have no other choice but to bite the bullet and submit to their pricing.

For half a month before the pill distribution from the Pill Pavilion, Fang Lin was cooped up in his residence refining pills day and night.

The pills he refined were of the same kind as those to be distributed by the Pill Pavilion, only more in quantity and slightly better in quality.

Given the large amount of these pills, even Fang Lin found it difficult to refine them. After all, the quantity was too large, and refining pills day and night was quite a rush.

Later, Dugu Nian also joined in to help Fang Lin refine the pills.

With Dugu Nian’s skill level, he could totally refine these pills. The quality wasn’t much worse than Fang Lin’s, at least not worse than the ones produced by the Pill Pavilion.

Finally, before the Pill Pavilion distributed the pills, Fang Lin and Dugu Nian had prepared enough pills. Fang Lin also immediately contacted Qing Jianzi and asked him to do him a favor.

Qing Jianzi was the top disciple in the Martial Sect with very high prestige. Even many elders couldn’t compare to him. As long as Qing Jianzi called for action, almost half of the Martial Sect disciples would follow his orders.

In the Pill Pavilion, elders were gathered all wearing faint smiles on their faces.

“Tomorrow is the day to distribute pills, and there will probably be complaints from the Martial Sect.” An elder of the Pill Pavilion spoke out.

Another elder immediately replied, ‘Who cares? If they want more pills from us, then they have to pay. They always give just a bit of rare genius treasure, and expect to get more pills, they are dreaming.”

The white-clothed elder who had once made things difficult for Fang Lin sat at the head of the group, clearly the highest in status among them. He said, “Let’s see if the Martial Sect knows its place this time. If they are the same as before, then we don’t have to care about them, they’ll get as much as we offer.”

“Exactly.” The white-clothed elder’s words were agreed upon by all the elders of the Pill Pavilion.

Finally, it came to the day of distributing the pills. The Pill Pavilion had arranged for people to wait at the front door early in the morning. But after waiting for half a day, nobody came to collect the pills..
