Chapter 783: Chapter 783: Difficulty Increase

“Fang Lin, Who is that guy?” Dugu Nian asked on the side.

Fang Lin revealed a slight smile: “He’s the talent of the Alchemy Tao from the Ling Family.”

Dugu Nian showed a bit of surprise when she heard this, “The Ling Family of Alchemy Tao? I’ve heard of them, but they don’t seem to have a very Good reputation.”

Hearing this, the faces of the Ling Family’s trio darkened even more. The Ling Family Elder glared at Dugu Nian and said, “Little girl, the reputation of my Ling Family is not something you can denigrate at will.”

Dugu Nian scoffed and said disdainfully, “Do I need to denigrate it? Old man, don’t you hear how many people are badmouthing your Ling Family when you go out? Still here gloating and self-satisfied, it’s genuinely shameless.”

The Ling family trio were so angry that their bodies quaked. This young girl looked delicate and weak, but her words were so sharp that they were about to explode with anger.

...

“Ah, stop talking, leave them some dignity. They’re from a noble family after all.” Fang Lin said with a laugh. He emphasized the word ‘noble’, seeming to intentionally mock the trio of the Ling Family.

“Fang Lin, you can only enjoy your triumph in this moment. The wrath of my Ling Family is not something you can bear.” Ling Changhe coldly stared at Fang Lin, his eyes full of resentment.

“And you, a young and unruly girl, lack of manners. I don’t know how your elders taught you.” The Ling Family Elder said.

Hearing this, Dugu Nian flared up immediately and pointed at the noses of the Ling Family trio to curse, “You three, have absolutely no skills except using your family to boast. Look at your characters. Without the family behind you, you would’ve likely been beaten to death by now. But you are still uttering big words here, wait till later to see you cry.”

The trio were both shocked and enraged. They really wanted to rush up and shred Dugu Nian’s mouth, but alas, that was not an option.

The surrounding people who saw Dugu Nian’s fierce disposition were all stunned. How could such a delicate girl speak so violently?

“Don’t be angry. It’s not worth being angry with these guys.” Fang Lin said with a smile.

Dugu Nian snorted, “I wasn’t angry anyway. Just make sure to teach that Ling something a good lesson later and show him who the real Alchemy Tao genius is.”

Fang Lin nodded. At this moment, the Hall Master of North Town Hall and his main forces appeared.

Everyone immediately quieted down and paid their respects to the Hall Master of North Town Hall.

“Greetings, Hall Master.”

The Hall Master of North Town Hall sat atop a black iron chair dressed in a black dress, her magnificent figure fully displayed. Her eyebrows were filled with an air of majesty.

“Today, I will select a successor as the only disciple of my North Town Hall. Among you, there are five who are my registered disciples and carefully selected. The only disciple will be one of these five.” The Hall Master of North Town Hall said. Her voice was crisp and clear.

Elder Wang who was standing aside took a step forward, sweeping his gaze across the crowd and said, “The five registered disciples, step forward.”

Immediately, Fang Lin, Ling Zhongtian, Zhu Yuntao, Shen Xue Jian, and Mo Yun, all move forward to form a line.

“You five will engage in a competition today. Only one of you can be the last winner and become the only disciple of the Hall Master and represent the North Town Hall to enter the Ancient Alchemy Prohibited Area to compete against the best from the other thirty-two halls.” Elder Wang said, his gaze moving across Ling Zhongtian and the other four individuals before lingering slightly on Fang Lin.

“As Pill Refiners, it is only natural to determine the best through Alchemy Tao. For this selection, the pills you five must refine are special because it’s rare to see pill formulas for such pills in recent times.” Elder Wang said. The contents of his words caused everyone apart from Fang Lin to falter.

The other Pill Refiners also showed surprised expressions and hadn’t expected the test to be this unusual.

“This means the pills you five are going to refine are ones you have never refined before, and you’ll be starting from the Pill Formula step.” Elder Wang added.

As soon as his voice fell, the crowd gasped in astonishment, and even Ling Zhongtian and the others furrowed their brows, displaying their shock.

Refining an unfamiliar pill starting from the Pill Formula significantly increases the difficulty and unpredictability of the competition.

For refining familiar pills, everyone has a guarantee of success.

But refining a pill they’ve never refined before levels the playing field for everyone. As it is the first time for all of them to refine this pill, it will have to be determined who among them has the most talent.

“Interesting.” Fang Lin said, with a smile at his lips, remaining the calmest person from beginning to end.

Elder Wang also looked at Fang Lin. This guy remained relatively unperturbed, and the corner of his mouth was even lifting upward. Could it be that he was genuinely so composed and not worried at all?

Indeed, Fang Lin wasn’t worried. With his foundation, what pill was there that he didn’t understand? Even if a pill from the future was unknown to him, given his level, he could easily draw inferences about its properties. There was absolutely nothing to worry about.

“You five, step forward to take your pill formulas.” Elder Wang said. In his hand appeared five pieces of white paper, each densely covered with fine print.

The five of them each stepped forward to take their pill formulas, the content naturally being the same. The key lay in whose comprehension was stronger.

“Alright, now that you have the pill formulas, everyone else step back to allow these five to begin Pill Refining. No one is allowed to disturb them. If anyone intentionally causes a disruption, they will be executed on the spot.” Elder Wang said, his voice filled with majesty.

The crowd immediately retreated to the periphery, clearing space for Fang Lin and the other four.

The five stood before an individual Pill Furnace. Although none of them started immediately, they still placed their focus on the Pill Formula.

“So it’s the Purple Origin Pill, I thought it was something else.” After glancing at the Pill Formula, Fang Lin understood immediately.

At this moment, Fang Lin put away the Pill Formula and began directly preparing the medicinal herbs.

“Huh? Fang Lin is the first to start.”

“He only looked at the Pill Formula twice, so is he sure he can refine it?”

“Isn’t this being a bit too reckless?”

“The other four are still studying the Pill Formula while he’s already begun. Could he be trying to gain an early advantage?”

“But this isn’t particularly safe. It’s easy to make mistakes.”

“He’s still too young, not steady enough.”

·····

Seeing Fang Lin being the first to start refining the pill, and seemingly without much study of the Pill Formula, the crowd was taken aback. Some shook their heads privately, thinking that Fang Lin was being too rash. The other four were studying the Pill Formula and did not rush to start; even if Fang Lin took the lead, it did not necessarily mean he could produce the pill.

“I’ve overestimated him. He’s not worth fearing at all.” Ling Zhongtian glanced at Fang Lin and snorted coldly.
