The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron Chapter 970

Chapter 970: Chapter 970: The Ancient Furnace Chapter 970: Chapter 970: The Ancient Furnace Fang Lin heard the words and smiled faintly, “I haven't decided yet, but even if I don't refine it, gifting it to the pretty girls in our Pill Alliance is also possible.”

Master Wen laughed and said, “After all, you are young. However, this fire is extraordinary. If you really want to give it away, make sure you give it to the right person.”

The other Masters of Pill all had twitching facial expressions. This Fang Lin really was a profligate. Such a precious fire, and he was thinking of gifting it to pretty girls.

If these Masters of Pill obtained such a fire, even if they did not use it for refining, they would carefully treasure it, either passing it down to their descendants or followers, or using it to exchange for other things they desperately needed.

It seemed that only a maverick like Fang Lin would even think of using such a precious fire as a gift for pretty girls.

“Master Wen, is there something special about this fire?” Fang Lin asked curiously upon hearing this.

Master Wen nodded solemnly, “This fire comes from the Seven Seas, deep within an ancient volcano, an immortal wisp of fire that has lasted for ten thousand years. The Tianlan Elder and several other experts from the Pill Alliance joined forces to seal it inside this Crystal Stone.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. They had not expected such an extraordinary origin for the fire, one that came from the Seven Seas, and was personally obtained by the Tianlan Elder.

Fang Lin's expression shifted slightly. An immortal wisp of fire lasting ten thousand years? This was indeed extraordinary.

Many of the Masters of Pill, looking at the Crystal Stone in Fang Lin's hands, displayed a covetous expression, and a few even had a glint of malice in their eyes, appearing to harbor ill intentions.

But that was merely a fleeting thought. Fang Lin was not an easy target. Not to mention other things, Fang Lin himself possessed strong Martial Arts prowess and was not someone they could easily defeat.

Besides, Fang Lin was a Disciple of Elder Tiankui. To rob him of his possession would be to commit an offense right under Elder Tiankui's nose. Unless someone was insane, no one would do such a foolish thing.

However, many had the idea of exchanging something for the fire. In the minds of these Masters of Pill, since Fang Lin already had three kinds of Soul Commanding Pill Fire, even if he obtained this fire, it was unlikely that he would refine it himself. If they could offer something valuable enough, perhaps they could persuade Fang Lin to trade the fire.

Obviously, now was not the time to discuss these matters with Fang Lin. At least, they had to wait until after the Master Conference ended to approach Fang Lin to exchange for the fire.

Fang Lin put away the Crystal Stone. In his mind, he naturally intended to refine this fire. The more kinds of Soul Commanding Pill Fire he had, the greater the help it would be in Pill Refining. Even if the difficulty of refining was great and fraught with danger, Fang Lin was determined to refine it.

Besides, with Fang Lin's numerous methods, he could certainly reduce the risk of refining the fourth kind of Soul Commanding Pill Fire to a minimum. Unlike the present-day Pill Refiners, who could easily lose their lives when refining the second kind of Soul Commanding Pill Fire.

As for gifting it to a pretty girl, that was sheer nonsense. Which girl was worthy of Fang Lin giving away such a valuable thing?

Even if it was the girl Dugu Nian, if she were to be placed in front of Fang Lin for him to choose between the fire and her?

Fang Lin would surely hesitate and ponder deeply, begrudgingly choosing Dugu Nian.

Watching Fang Lin, Master Wen suddenly became interested, “I have another question here. If you can answer it, I can give you another reward. Of course, anyone present who can answer it will also receive the reward.”

Hearing Master Wen's words, the Masters of Pill present all showed interest.

Fang Lin was no different, but he was more cautious, cupping his hands and saying, “May I choose an item as a reward myself?”

Upon hearing this, Master Wen gave a slight start and then chuckled, “That can be arranged, but only if you can answer my questions, and beware that if you ask too much, I will not agree.”

“I certainly won't ask too much, Master Wen, please pose your question,” Fang Lin replied.

Master Wen smiled faintly, “Now, watch carefully.”

Before his voice had faded, an ancient Pill Furnace appeared before everyone's eyes.

Everyone immediately turned their gazes toward the Pill Furnace, eyes converging on it, then they all furrowed their brows slightly.

It wasn't that the Pill Furnace was peculiar; on the contrary, it was very ordinary, the kind that could be seen everywhere, of ordinary material and ordinary design. The only thing extraordinary was perhaps the Pill Furnace itself, which had an extremely weathered aura, as if it had existed for many years.

This was an antique, but also an ordinary one.

Moreover, there were some cracks on the surface of the Pill Furnace, as if it had been used many times, borderline on the verge of falling apart.

Why had Master Wen brought out such a Pill Furnace? What was his intention?

Many were puzzled, while Master Zhong, Master Long, and Fang Lin among others scrutinized the Pill Furnace carefully, their expressions grave.

Fang Lin and Master Zhong's intuitions were extremely sharp; despite its ordinariness, they could faintly sense an incredibly astonishing aura from the Pill Furnace, as if it used to forge some extraordinary pills.

If a Pill Furnace had been used to refine shockingly legendary pills, it would leave behind traces and an aura that would make it extraordinary.

And such an aura resided in this plain, ancient Pill Furnace, causing many Masters of Pill present to feel both shocked and puzzled.

Logically speaking, with a Pill Furnace so ordinary, even refining third or fourth grade pills would be a struggle, let alone producing anything of an exceptional grade, which completely defied common sense.

Yet the aura was very real, proving that this Pill Furnace had once been used to create superior pills of remarkable grade.

Master Wen, seeing the confused and puzzled looks on everyone's faces, felt quite satisfied, believing that the desired effect had been achieved.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Fang Lin suddenly step forward, looking at a mark on the edge of the Pill Furnace.

It was a very inconspicuous mark, and even if one went up close, it would be difficult to spot.

But Fang Lin managed to see it, and the moment he caught sight of the mark, he was deeply shaken, as if struck by a heavy blow, and his complexion completely changed.

This mark was crystal clear in the depths of his memory, and even though years had passed and eras had changed, everything was different, Fang Lin had not forgotten it.

This mark was unique to the Pill Saint Palace; any Pill Furnace that came from it bore a mark resembling a waning moon.

The meaning of this mark was to remind all Pill Refiners of the Pill Saint Palace that the path of Alchemy Tao was imperfect, to never be complacent, and to constantly remind themselves to pursue a higher understanding of Alchemy Tao.

Such a mark was proof enough that this Pill Furnace originated from the Pill Saint Palace.
