The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron Chapter 946

Chapter 946: 946 Chapter 946: 946 Fang Lin had a conversation with Elder Su; naturally, Elder Su hoped Fang Lin could look after Su Xiaotong a bit more within the Pill Alliance.

After all, Fang Lin was now a Master of Pill and also a disciple of Elder Tiankui, with an extraordinary identity and revered status.

Although Su Xiaotong was also favored by an important figure and taken as a disciple, that so-called important figure clearly was not on the same level as someone like Elder Tiankui.

Moreover, Su Xiaotong was still young and had frequent memory loss issues; in such a chaotic place as the Pill Alliance, she would probably encounter many problems and troubles.

Fang Lin naturally agreed and immediately contacted Ye Mengxian using a Jade Slip, hoping she could find out Su Xiaotong's whereabouts.

After learning about the situation, Ye Mengxian also went to inquire straight away, telling Fang Lin to wait for the news.

Within half an hour, Fang Lin learned about Su Xiaotong's situation, but it was not as good as he had imagined.

Su Xiaotong indeed possessed great talent, like a natural-born Pill Refining prodigy, and was noticed by a high-ranking member of the Pill Alliance, who took her as a disciple.

But that high-ranking member did not have just one disciple; there were several under him, none of whom had talent comparable to Su Xiaotong's.

With Su Xiaotong's arrival, these disciples felt threatened and would often target her and bully her.

Su Xiaotong, being of a gentle nature and often suffering from memory loss, naturally endured much oppression and was not faring well in the Pill Alliance.

After learning the news, Fang Lin did not tell Elder Su about the difficulties Su Xiaotong faced in the Pill Alliance to avoid worrying him.

Meanwhile, Fang Lin also asked Ye Mengxian to think of ways to help Su Xiaotong.

Ye Mengxian did not refuse; she seemed quite interested in Su Xiaotong, so she assured Fang Lin to leave it to her, as she would handle the matter.

With Ye Mengxian's intervention, Fang Lin believed the issue should be resolved well, so he did not worry further.

After visiting old friends in Qian Country, Fang Lin returned to the Purple Mist Sect and refined some pills for Qing Jianzi to assist him in resuming his cultivation.

He also refined some pills for Han Yinyue as she was about to embark on the path of Martial Arts, and naturally, pills were essential; although the Purple Mist Sect was not short of pills, they were old friends, and Fang Lin naturally wanted to refine some superior ones for her.

Counting the time, since returning to Qian Country, he had been there for just over a month, with only five months left until the third phase of the Talent War, Fang Lin also needed to use this time to rapidly improve himself.

Having bid farewell to everyone at the Purple Mist Sect, Fang Lin boarded a Flying Boat with Dugu Nian and departed directly from the Purple Mist Sect.

Han Luoyun and Han Xiaoxing escorted them, not stopping until they were over a hundred miles outside the borders of Qian Country, before returning to the Purple Mist Sect.

Having encountered an assassination attempt by Hidden Kill Hall on their way here, Fang Lin was extremely cautious and vigilant this time, raising all the arrays on the Flying Boat.

Fortunately, the journey was safe and uneventful, and after seven days, Fang Lin and Dugu Nian reached Tiankui Pavilion.

“The two little fellows are back?” Elder Tiankui was still in that same garden, holding a rabbit, appearing very amiable.

Fang Lin and Dugu Nian stepped forward and bowed: “We pay our respects to Elder Tiankui.”

“There's no need for formalities,” Elder Tiankui nodded and said, his gaze briefly appraising Fang Lin and revealing a touch of joy and appreciation.

“Very good, although your realm has not advanced, your physical body is now comparable to a double Spirit Bone level,” Elder Tiankui remarked, having noticed the changes in Fang Lin's physique, and he spoke with admiration.

“Master overpraises me,” Fang Lin humbly replied.

However, Elder Tiankui seriously said, “At your age and level, to have such a formidable physical body is indeed rare. I fear that many Physical Martial Artists could not compare to you.”

Fang Lin thought to himself that goes without saying, with the Kylin Demon Bone and dragon scales inside me, those are not things you can get just by wishing, if even so I still can't compare to those Physical Martial Artists, then I might as well die and stop cultivating.

“Master, your disciple has some matters he wishes to report to you,” Fang Lin said.

“Hmm, go ahead,” Elder Tiankui said, noticing Fang Lin's seriousness, he surmised that Fang Lin must have something important to tell him.

Thereupon, Fang Lin disclosed everything he knew about the Hidden Kill Hall to Elder Tiankui.

After listening, Elder Tiankui's expression grew more severe, but he showed no sign of great surprise.

Fang Lin, on the other hand, was somewhat taken aback. This was no small matter, after all. The Hidden Kill Hall had extended its reach into the Pill Alliance, yet Elder Tiankui did not seem worried at all. Could it be that in Elder Tiankui's eyes, such matters were truly insignificant?

“I've long been aware of the Hidden Kill Hall's claws within the Pill Alliance,” Elder Tiankui revealed.

At those words, both Fang Lin and Dugu Nian showed surprised expressions. Elder Tiankui had known about the Hidden Kill Hall's infiltration into the Pill Alliance?

“Heh, my position as an elder is not for naught. I am well aware of what goes on within the Pill Alliance. We elders have not taken action because we want to see what Hidden Kill Hall is truly planning. Moreover, it's not just the Pill Alliance; the Three Emperors are also making preparations to launch another eradication campaign against Hidden Kill Hall,” Elder Tiankui explained.

Fang Lin was even more astonished; he had not expected to hear such astounding news from someone like Elder Tiankui.

The elders were not only aware of the Hidden Kill Hall's agents within the Pill Alliance but also that the Three Emperors were actually preparing to mount another campaign against Hidden Kill Hall.

This was indeed shocking news and coming from Elder Tiankui, a person of significance, the veracity should be beyond doubt.

It had been almost several hundred years since the last campaign against Hidden Kill Hall by the Three Emperors. It was surprising that the Three Emperors had the will to launch another offensive against Hidden Kill Hall.

For Fang Lin, however, this was good news. If the Three Emperors were truly about to take action, then it would be a major move, and Hidden Kill Hall would surely suffer heavy losses.

As a result, Fang Lin would not have to worry too much about Hidden Kill Hall's pursuit of him.

“Hidden Kill Hall has indeed been too excessive these past years, they need a good suppression to quiet down for a while,” Elder Tiankui commented.

Upon hearing this, Fang Lin frowned and said, “Master, then why not thoroughly eradicate Hidden Kill Hall? Wouldn't that mean one less calamity for the Nine Countries?”

Elder Tiankui shook his head and spoke earnestly, “You are thinking too simplistically. Hidden Kill Hall has been around for many years, has survived numerous campaigns against them, yet remains undestroyed. This is not merely luck, but because Hidden Kill Hall truly possesses exceptional foundations and strength. Moreover, although the Hidden Kill Hall is quite active in the Nine Countries, they also hold some sway in the Seven Seas. Even if we could exterminate Hidden Kill Hall's forces in the Nine Countries, we would be unable to eliminate them in the Seven Seas. As long as they have a breath left, Hidden Kill Hall will rise again.”

Having heard Elder Tiankui say so, Fang Lin fully understood that Hidden Kill Hall was indeed not so easily rooted out, otherwise, with the strength of the Three Emperors combined with the Pill Alliance, what could they not accomplish?

Just then, Ye Mengxian appeared, and her expression was not very good.
