The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron-Chapter 792 - : You Can’t Learn It

Chapter 792: Chapter 792: You Can’t Learn It

In the Pill Alliance, each of the thirty-two hall masters must take on a direct disciple to serve as their successor and the inheritor of the hall.

The status of being a hall master’s direct disciple not only represents honor but also carries responsibility. As the direct disciple of a hall master, one must not lose to any of the other thirty-two successors.

The Thirty-two halls all pledge loyalty to the eight great Elders of the Pill Alliance, each Elder backed by four hall masters.

The eight Elders do not get along as there are many conflicts regarding power and interests. Although they form the core of power in the Pill Alliance, there are countless fights in the shadows among them.

The stance of the thirty-two halls naturally follows their respective Elder’s perspective, resulting in varying relationships.

The upcoming Ancient Alchemy Prohibited Area is a competition among the successors of the thirty-two halls. The stronger one is, the more they stand to gain.

...

Since Fang Lin has now become the disciple of Ye Mengxian, holding the status of the direct disciple of the North Town Hall, he has, in reality, entered this power struggle within the alliance’s upper echelons.

However, for Ye Mengxian and the eight great Elders, Fang Lin is merely a pawn and they would not care much for him.

Of course, Fang Lin himself was not interested in the internal struggle of the Alliance. His interest lay in the Ancient Alchemy Prohibited Area.

In there, remnants of ancient sects coexist with lost alchemical heritage. Fang Lin is determined to visit and perhaps discover some traces of the old Pill Saint Palace.

As for competing with the successors of the other thirty-two halls, Fang Lin hardly cared. Given his current strength, he could easily dominate the others in terms of martial strength alone.

Competing with a bunch of kids held no interest for him. In the Ancient Alchemy Prohibited Area, he preferred to explore locations of significance peacefully, but if anyone dared to provoke him, Fang Lin wouldn’t mind teaching them a lesson.

Being Ye Mengxian’s disciple, his next step was to wait for successors of the other thirty-two halls to be confirmed.

During this time, Fang Lin was visited by many figures who wished to foster relationships in the hopes of gaining some favor.

After all, it was almost certain that Fang Lin would become the Hall Master of the North Town in the future. It was only natural for them to establish good relationships early on, for later, it might be impossible.

Initially, Fang Lin courteously entertained the first few visitors. However, when the visitors kept coming with no end in sight, he decided to shut his doors and announced that he would be in closed-door cultivation for a while, and not accept any guests.

After this, the flow of visitors ceased, and Fang Lin finally had some peace.

Additionally, another incident happened at the North Town Hall—Ling Zhongtian was taken away by the Ling Family.

Whether it was because of Ling Zhongtian’s injuries or his setback at the hands of Fang Lin, the Ling Family failed to save face and couldn’t stay at the North Town Hall any longer.

Ling Zhongtian’s departure significantly boosted Fang Lin’s reputation in the North Town Hall. Many people believed that Fang Lin was heavily involved in Ling Zhongtian’s departure, with some even directly attributing it to Fang Lin’s presence.

Zhu Yuntao, Shen Xue Jian, and Mo Lin disappeared from public view after the selection ended.

For them, this defeat was a heavy hit—especially for Shen Xue Jian and Zhu Yuntao who had never envisaged losing to Fang Lin. This unexpected defeat was hard for them to accept.

However, accepting their defeat was not optional—it was a reality.

“Hey, when will you teach me that Triple Dragon Fire Refining?” In the room, Dugu Nian put her hands under her chin and asked Fang Lin who was meditating.

Fang Lin opened one eye, glanced at her with a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth. “You’re eager to learn?”

Dugu Nian made a face, “It seemed interesting.”

Fang Lin closed his eyes, exuding calmness and said, “Your alchemic mastery is insufficient; even if I teach you, you won’t be able to learn it.”

Hearing this, Dugu Nian immediately shot back, “Hey, I am a Three Cauldrons Pill Refiner, I also possess the Soul Commanding Pill Fire and my aptitude isn’t bad! Why can’t I learn?”

Fang Lin didn’t bother to explain or even cast a glance at Dugu Nian.

Dugu Nian approached him, her face close to Fang Lin’s.

“What are you doing?” Seeing Dugu Nian move so close to him, Fang Lin couldn’t help but ask.

“I want to bite you to death,” Dugu Nian hissed angrily.

Without uttering a word, Fang Lin slapped her forehead, causing her to retreat with a yelp. She rubbed her reddened forehead in pain.

“Girl, you should show some respect to your master. Or else, beware of my fists,” Fang Lin said with a smirk.

Rubbing her forehead, Dugu Nian seemed as though she would start a fight with Fang Lin on the spot and angrily took a seat.

Fang Lin found her reactions amusing and decided to stop teasing her. “Do you really want to learn Triple Dragon Fire Refining?”

At his words, Dugu Nian quickly nodded and looked earnestly at Fang Lin.

Fang Lin waved his hand, throwing a jade slip towards Dugu Nian, which she quickly caught. “You’ve already mastered Shaking Three Mountains, but Triple Dragon Fire Refining is different and much more difficult. Whether or not you can learn it is up to you,” he said.

Dugu Nian snorted, “You really look down upon me.”

With those words, she began to review the contents of the jade slip.

After reading, Dugu Nian was taken aback. When she had seen Fang Lin performing Triple Dragon Fire Refining, it looked simple, but actually practicing it was quite challenging.

“How did you learn it?” Dugu Nian couldn’t help but ask.

Upon hearing her question, Fang Lin immediately donned an air of superiority, “I’m naturally gifted. I learned it after just a glance.”

Dugu Nian chose to ignore him, thinking: ‘Who would believe that you learned it with just a glance?’

“I will definitely master Triple Dragon Fire Refining and make you look at me with new eyes.” Dugu Nian secretly declared to herself and placed the jade slip in her bag.

Fang Lin looked at Dugu Nian and said, “Soon, I will enter the Ancient Alchemy Prohibited Area and will need to stay there for several months at least. Will you be okay staying at the North Town Hall alone?”

Upon hearing this, Dugu Nian’s eyebrows furrowed, “Aren’t you going to take me along?”
