Chapter 952: Chapter 952: The Impudent Boy Chapter 952: Chapter 952: The Impudent Boy Seeing this person kneel, Fang Lin felt even more disdain in his heart, but he also had no further intention of making things difficult for him.
“In the future, keep your eyes wider open, not everyone is as easy to talk to as I am,” Fang Lin said indifferently, no longer paying attention to the young man.
“Thank you, Master Fang! Thank you, Master Fang! I will not make the same mistake again!” The leading young man was extremely excited, continuously thanking Fang Lin.
Fang Lin did not say much more and entered Cauldron Heaven Pill City together with those two elders.
After Fang Lin entered, those few young men still hadn't recovered from their shock, especially the leading young man, who was pale-faced and clearly frightened.
“We almost caused a great disaster.” Everyone felt relieved, now who didn't know that Fang Lin, the youngest Master of Pill in the Pill Alliance, had been taken in as a disciple by Elder Tiankui, his position esteemed.
And these few people, within the Pill Alliance, belonged to the utterly insignificant small fries; if Fang Lin really wanted to deal with them, he had too many methods.
Inside Cauldron Heaven Pill City, Fang Lin walked shoulder to shoulder with those two elders, his conversation unrestrained and his demeanor extraordinary. He did not belittle himself because of his youth, nor did he show any arrogance despite being a hot topic in the Pill Alliance.
Just the temperament he displayed during conversation was enough to make both Master Song and Master Mu quite appreciative and all the more convinced of Fang Lin's exceptional nature.
“Master Song, Master Mu, the two of you have indeed arrived a bit late,” the trio came before a white hall when another person approached them, smiling as he spoke.
This person had the appearance of a middle-aged man, with a plain face and a slightly emaciated look, but without a doubt, he was also a Master of Pill.
When Master Song and Master Mu saw this person, they both clasped their hands in greeting: “Master Ling, all is well, I trust?”
Upon hearing this, Fang Lin's brows slightly moved – Master Ling? It seems this guy is very likely to be a Master of Pill from the Ling Family.
That Master Ling noticed Fang Lin, and as someone from the Ling Family, he was naturally very clear about Fang Lin's appearance, his expression immediately turning gloomy.
“Fang Lin, I did not expect you to attend the Master Conference, it comes quite as a surprise,” Master Ling said, his tone clearly carrying a hint of hostility.
Fang Lin yawned but did not bother to respond.
Seeing Fang Lin treat him with such disrespect, anger flashed in Master Ling's eyes, and he spoke with an even sterner tone, “Although I don't know what means you used to become a Master of Pill, we shall see your true weight at this Master Conference!”
“Oh,” Fang Lin responded with just this one word to the man's statement, completely disregarding this so-called Master Ling.
Master Song and Master Mu were both a bit surprised, but it was not too unexpected. The enmity between Fang Lin and the Alchemy Tao Ling Family was almost common knowledge in the Alchemy Tao World. This Master Ling, as a member of the Ling Family, naturally would not show a good face to Fang Lin, and Fang Lin's attitude was indeed normal.
Master Ling snorted and turned to walk into the white hall.
“Master Fang, let's also go inside. I estimate the other grandmasters are about all here,” Master Mu suggested.
Fang Lin nodded and entered the white hall together.
“Please follow us, grandmasters,” a Pill Apprentice guided them with great respect, leading the three to the main hall.
Inside the main hall, numerous seats were neatly arranged, and at a glance, many people had already taken their seats.
The arrival of Fang Lin and the others attracted a lot of attention, of course, more on Fang Lin rather than Master Song or Master Mu.
Those present were all Masters of Pill, naturally curious about Fang Lin, this newly promoted Master of Pill.
Moreover, Fang Lin was the youngest Master of Pill in the history of the Pill Alliance, having set the record for the youngest Master of Pill. Such a person undoubtedly would draw attention wherever he went.
Among these gazes on Fang Lin, some carried surprise, some calm, and quite a few had hostility and rejection.
Even some looked on with disgust, among them were Masters of Pill from the Ling Family and several Alchemy Tao noble families closely associated with the Ling Family.
Fang Lin noted that apart from himself, the youngest among these Masters of Pill appeared to be in their forties.
The previously encountered Master Ling was considered among the younger ones in this gathering of grandmasters.
Of course, compared to Fang Lin, he was far behind.
“Is this young gentleman Master Fang Lin?” someone stood up, clasping his hands towards Fang Lin and enquired.
Fang Lin nodded, also performing a clasped-hand salute in return: “It is I, Fang Lin.”
The person nodded, his face wearing a kind smile, and without saying more, sat back down.
“Tsk, the standard of this Master Conference is really dropping, any Tom, Dick, or Harry can get in,” someone sneered, a crone sitting in a relatively forward position.
This comment, directed at Fang Lin, was unmistakable to anyone but a fool, clearly malicious in intent.
Fang Lin wore an expressionless face and responded aloud, “Such bold words. Are you implying that all the esteemed grandmasters present are, as you say, just any Tom, Dick, or Harry?”
The crone immediately stood up, glaring at Fang Lin: “I was talking about you, you young upstart. Having earned the title of grandmaster through trickery, yet you have the audacity to attend the Master Conference, you truly don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is.”
Many in the audience were astonished. Though it was certain that some would target Fang Lin or be repulsed by him, outright confrontation like this was quite excessive.
“Master Meng, your words may be a bit too harsh. Master Fang, like us, has passed the examination. Even if he used some trickery, that's his own strategy. How can you say such things about him? After all, it's normal for young people to sometimes use unorthodox methods, as long as he is aware of his own limitations,” another person stood up to speak. Although he seemed to be standing up for Fang Lin, his words were actually echoing the crone, squeezing and mocking Fang Lin.
“Hehe, the trials to become a Master of Pill are harsh, but there are ways to game the system. Regardless, Master Fang has passed the trials, and we should still show him some respect,” Master Ling also spoke up, his face bearing a cold sneer, seemingly enjoying seeing Fang Lin targeted.
“Gentlemen, try not to speak so unpleasantly,” Master Song said with some displeasure.
If I were you, Fang Lin, I wouldn't have come to attend this Master Conference. Among those present, who doesn't have a higher seniority or stronger abilities than you? Your title as a Master of Pill is hardly worth mentioning. Even if the Pill Alliance has acknowledged you, we will not regard you as a fellow practitioner,” another elder spoke up, and upon this person's remark, many bystanders showed a look of surprise.
