The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron Chapter 953

Chapter 953: Chapter 953: Teeth Scattered Everywhere Chapter 953: Chapter 953: Teeth Scattered Everywhere This elder, sitting in an inconspicuous corner, wore a tattered Pill Refining Robe, his complexion dark and weathered, hair messy and desiccated, appearing very aged.

Had it not been for the Pill Refining Robe he wore, one might have mistaken him for an old farmer tending the fields.

Yet this man, who looked no different from an old farmer, commanded the solemn respect of many Masters of Pill present.

The reason was nothing else but his being the most senior Pill Master among those present, having remained at the Ninth Layer of Pill Refiners for a hundred years.

Besides his profound seniority, the elder's identity was also rather daunting; he was not just a Master of Pill but also a junior brother of Elder Tianjun.

Indeed, this elder and Elder Tianjun shared the same master, but Elder Tianjun, having greater talents and stronger abilities, had already become a revered elder within the Pill Alliance, holding great power and influence that knew no bounds.

As for this elder, his talents were far from matching those of Elder Tianjun, but as the saying goes, diligence can make up for deficiencies. After stepping into the realm of a Pill Master, he renounced everything, including the positions Elder Tianjun offered him, and dedicated himself entirely to the Alchemy Tao, bestowing all he had to this path.

Through assiduous study, the elder penetrated the depths of an ancient Pill Scripture, integrating its contents and creating his own superior form of Alchemy, renowned throughout the lands.

This elder was honored by many as the preeminent Master of Pill, implying that among all the Masters of Pill within the Pill Alliance, his strength should be the strongest.

That such a highly experienced and weighty Master of Pill would target Fang Lin naturally surprised everyone.

Those who had originally spoken out against Fang Lin were inwardly delighted. With the elder's support, suppressing Fang Lin would be much easier.

“Who are you?” Fang Lin narrowed his eyes, looking indifferently at the elder.

Some people wore strange expressions. Was Fang Lin feigning ignorance or was he genuinely clueless? He didn't recognize Master Zhong, Elder Tianjun's junior brother?

Master Zhong snorted softly, his demeanor dignified, and spoke again, “Who I am is none of your concern. If you have any self-awareness, leave Cauldron Heaven Pill City and find a place to diligently pursue your Alchemy studies. I have the least respect for your kind that follows crooked and heretical practices.”

Fang Lin laughed, “Old man, you're merely a Five Cauldrons Pill Refiner yourself. What right do you have to criticize me? Considering your age, it seems you've been stuck at the Five Cauldrons stage for a long time, unable to take another step forward? Heh, if I were you, I'd find a quiet place to stay. Half of your body is already in the grave and yet here you are, jumping around. Be careful not to breathe your last during one of these leaps.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding crowd looked at Fang Lin with astonishment, completely unprepared for his boldness in showing such profound disrespect to Master Zhong.

This was Master Zhong, after all, the most senior Master of Pill in the Pill Alliance and even Elder Tianjun's junior brother. Who would dare disrespect him? Probably even the higher-ups of the Pill Alliance would have to give face to Master Zhong and dare not offend him lightly.

Yet here was Fang Lin, who had only recently become a Pill Master, daring to speak to Master Zhong in such a manner, practically equivalent to cursing him to his face.

“Fang Lin! You are too presumptuous!”

“Such rudeness is unworthy of the title Master of Pill!”

“This is outrageous, expel him!”

****
Immediately, there were people berating Fang Lin one after another, mostly those who previously targeted him. The majority of the Pill Masters maintained a wait-and-see attitude, saying nothing, seeming unwilling to get involved in this matter.

Master Song and Master Mu dared not speak up for Fang Lin anymore; although they were also fairly experienced Grandmasters of Alchemy Tao, they fell short compared to Master Zhong.

In front of Master Zhong, any Grandmaster of Alchemy Tao had to remain humble, or else they were regarded as disrespectful and rude.

Master Zhong's face was dark with anger. With his stature, he was respected wherever he went–who would dare to be so rude to him?

Yet, Fang Lin was so audaciously misbehaving, not only disrespectful, but his words even wished you an early death; naturally, Master Zhong was furious in his heart.

“You, Fang Lin, I had already heard that you are an arrogant person, but I took it as a rumor. Today I see, not only are you insolent, but you are also crass and impudent, an utter disgrace to us Pill Refiners!” Master Zhong bellowed, his voice ringing with force.

Fang Lin dug at his ear, his face full of disdain as he said, “I told you to take it easy, old man. Such a hot temper can shorten your life. You should be like me, calm and composed, unruffled by what comes your way, and then you can live long.”

Master Zhong's face turned green. Fang Lin's words were indeed too damaging.

“Shut your mouth! I will teach you a lesson on behalf of Master Zhong, you insolent brat!” Master Ling suddenly shouted and lashed out directly at Fang Lin.

“Don't start a fight!” someone cried out immediately, but it was already too late. Master Ling seemed to have been wanting to lay hands on Fang Lin for a while and made his move with swift and fierce motions.

Moreover, by claiming to act on Master Zhong's behalf, if any blame came down from the Pill Alliance, he would have an excuse.

Facing the menacing approach of Master Ling, Fang Lin was neither flustered nor hurried, and even cracked a smile.

Just as many thought that Fang Lin was about to suffer grievous harm, they witnessed a scene that left them dumbstruck.

Master Ling was sent flying backward, his face smashed with a heavy punch from Fang Lin, deforming his features, teeth flying out, blood spurting.

With a thud, Master Ling landed solidly on the ground, spitting out another mouthful of blood.

“Ah, I'm not one for violence, but there's always someone looking for trouble. People from the Ling Family have always been this dumb,” Fang Lin retracted his fist, shook his head, and spoke disdainfully.

“What exactly is going on here?” It took quite some time for anyone to react, and they hurried to assist Master Ling.

Many others, however, looked towards Fang Lin with surprise in their eyes, not expecting him to possess such strength, to beat Master Ling, who was at the Ninth Layer of Spirit Vein, into such a sorry state with a single punch.

What they didn't know was that Fang Lin had deliberately held back; if he had been merciless and used all his strength to punch Master Ling, it's likely that Master Ling's head would have been smashed by Fang Lin right then and there.

After all, the Master Conference was currently in session, and if things were taken too far, it would inevitably lead to gossip. Even if one was in the right, killing someone in the process would turn right into wrong.

Master Ling was in a pitiful state, with only a few teeth left in his mouth, still bleeding profusely, his brain reeling from the punch that had stunned him completely.

“Fang Lin! You dare to commit violence and injure someone! You are far too presumptuous!” the old woman who had spoken first said loudly.

Fang Lin snorted lightly, “I think you must be blind. Didn't you see him attacking me first?”
