“Just tell me what you want.” Chen Yongnian appeared incredibly generous. Regardless, he had no intention of fulfilling any outrageous demands Fang Lin might have.
Fang Lin said, “I hope that within the Pill Alliance of Xuan Country, no one will intentionally target or suppress me.”
Upon hearing this, many changed their expressions and instantly turned their gaze to Qi Sanxuan.
Chen Yongnian also glanced at Qi Sanxuan. The latter was absolutely furious. What did Fang Lin mean by this? Wasn’t he blatantly accusing him of deliberately oppressing Fang Lin?
The important thing was that Qi Sanxuan couldn’t object. If he objected now, it would make him appear guilty.
Without any hesitation, Mo Ziming laughed at Qi Sanxuan and said, “The fumes in our Xuan Country’s Pill Alliance indeed need to be cleared.”
Qi Sanxuan was extremely furious. He wanted to storm off, but he dared not leave without Chen Yongnian’s permission.
Chen Yongnian nodded and assured Fang Lin, “Rest assured, as long as I, Chen Yongnian, am keeping watch over the Pill Alliance, nobody will target you deliberately.”
This statement made Qi Sanxuan dreadfully cold. Chen Yongnian was openly expressing his stance, and it was clearly directed at Qi Sanxuan.
The message was simple: Qi Sanxuan should keep himself in check. If he tried to do anything sneaky against Fang Lin, Chen Yongnian wouldn’t be kind.
Qi Sanxuan glared resentfully at Fang Lin, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, but it soon faded.
Chen Yongnian’s words meant Qi Sanxuan couldn’t do anything against Fang Lin for quite a while. If he recklessly caused any trouble, Chen Yongnian would surely intervene.
Chen Yongnian’s words were a promise to Fang Lin and a warning to Qi Sanxuan. Both understood this, and everyone present had also understood.
“In that case, I am reassured.” Fang Lin replied.
At this moment, Chen Yongnian waved his hand, and a red pill flew out, hovering before Fang Lin.
This pill was bright red like it had been soaked in fresh blood. Yet, it had a dense aroma without a hint of the smell of blood. Clear evidence of the pill’s potency.
“The Domination Pill is yours now,” said Chen Yongnian with a smile.
Fang Lin’s face brightened, he stowed away the Domination Pill and sincerely thanked Chen Yongnian.
Everyone in the room watched Fang Lin with envy. The Domination Pill was extremely beneficial for both Martial Artists and Pill Refiners, so naturally, everyone coveted it now that it was with Fang Lin.
However, no one complained because they had all witnessed Fang Lin’s performance. His Eight-Patterned Purple Pill had overshadowed everyone else’s and won him the final victory.
“Fang Lin, come with me,” Chen Yongnian said, then promptly left the main hall, with Fang Lin following behind.
The crowd in the main hall gradually dispersed. This alchemy contest had been exciting beyond words, and the result was indeed unexpected.
Undoubtedly, Fang Lin’s performance in this alchemy contest was truly impressive. He left everyone in the Pill Alliance amazed at his abilities.
After this contest, those who had previously looked down upon Fang Lin in the Pill Alliance would likely change their attitudes and dare not disrespect him any longer.
After all, Fang Lin had outperformed the five geniuses and claimed the final victory. Such an astonishing performance was indeed dazzling.
In another side hall, only Chen Yongnian and Fang Lin were present.
“Fang Lin, what’s the issue between you and Qi Sanxuan?” Chen Yongnian asked right away.
Without any hesitation, Fang Lin told Chen Yongnian about the tyranny Qi Sanxuan displayed in the Pill Alliance of Xuan Country and their grudge against each other.
“I see, it seems Qi Sanxuan has crossed the line,” said Chen Yongnian, frowning.
Soon after, Chen Yongnian looked at Fang Lin and said, “I promised you before, as long as you complete the Spirit Invocation Skill, I will give you more benefits. So, tell me anything you want.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Lin was frank and said with a smile, “I want several types of pills.”
“Oh? What kind of pills?” asked Chen Yongnian curiously.
Fang Lin then mentioned several pills which were able to enhance a martial artist’s strength. Moreover, all of these pills were of considerable grade; the lowest was a fourth-grade pill, while the best ones were fifth-grade.
“You want these pills, is it because you want to break through to the Heavenly Origin realm?” Chen Yongnian asked in surprise.
Fang Lin gave an ambiguous reply, Chen Yongnian didn’t delve further. These pills were insignificant to him and he could readily offer them.
“In seven days, I will have all of these pills delivered to you,” agreed Chen Yongnian immediately.
“Thank you, Elder Chen!” Fang Lin expressed his heartfelt gratitude. He needed to enhance his strength, not to breach the Heavenly Origin realm, but to boost his power as much as possible before that.
After a huge accumulation, he would then break through, causing his power to surge explosively.
“Fang Lin, I heard that there was some unpleasantness between you and the Crown Prince, Zhou Yishui, while you were at the prince’s residence?” Chen Yongnian suddenly asked.
Fang Lin nodded, without saying much.
Chen Yongnian furrowed his brows, “Zhou Yishui is an exceptional talent and extremely powerful. He cannot be subdued by even some of the older generation of powerhouses. You should avoid confronting him.”
Fang Lin replied ambiguously. He understood what Chen Yongnian meant. Zhou Yishui was a remarkable person in Xuan Country’s new generation, there was practically no one among his peers who could challenge him. Although Fang Lin performed impressively in alchemy, compared to Zhou Yishui, he was weak.
With regards to Zhou Yishui’s influence and power, they far exceeded Fang Lin’s in every aspect other than alchemy.
Chen Yongnian did not want to see a conflict between Fang Lin and Zhou Yishui, nor did he want to see Zhou Yishui harm Fang Lin.
“Go to the Pavilion of Hidden Books,” said Chen Yongnian.
Fang Lin followed Chen Yongnian and arrived at the Pill Alliance’s Pavilion of Hidden Books.
Located at the deepest part of the Pill Alliance, the Pavilion of Hidden Books could only be accessed by passing four checkpoints. Each checkpoint held an array, so it was nearly impossible for anyone to sneak into the pavilion unnoticed.
In front of the pavilion, a wooden figure stood guard.
This wooden figure was about two meters high and seemed dull, but a Spirit Talisman was attached to its head.
Thanks to the talisman, the wooden figure was a reliable guardian. If anyone tried to break into the pavilion, the wooden figure would be alarmed.
Chen Yongnian removed the talisman from the wooden figure’s head and then led Fang Lin into the Pavilion of Hidden Books.
Inside the pavilion, many alchemy books were on display. At a glance, it seemed like they were in an ocean of books.
Fang Lin gasped in admiration, true to its reputation as the Pill Alliance of the Middle Three Kingdoms, it was much more impressive than the Pavilion of Hidden Books in Qian Country.
“Huh? What is that?” Suddenly, Fang Lin noticed a skeleton sitting cross-legged not far from them.
