The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Seeing Fang Lin’s dismissive expression, the man in the black robe became even more incensed. As a hall master of the Pill Alliance, a powerful and respected figure, how could he be despised by a mere youngster like an ant?

How could he tolerate this?

If the man in the black robe were here in his true form, he would definitely teach Fang Lin a harsh lesson and make him understand what the authority of a Hall Master means.

However, this was the Pill Pole Tower, and he could only appear as an illusion. Furthermore, it was thanks to the mark he had left behind in the past. Otherwise, even as a Hall Master, the man in the black robe would not be able to be present within the Pill Pole Tower.

Therefore, the man in the black robe had no way to punish Fang Lin.

“I say, Hall Master, you better stay in your cold corner. With your status and identity, what does a mere Thousand-Year Polygonum Multiflorum amount to? Let us younger generation have it,” Fang Lin said. With one hand, he directly gripped the Thousand-Year Polygonum Multiflorum from the jade stone, without asking for any permission, under the extremely angry and cold gaze of the man in the black robe, he blatantly placed it in the Nine Palace Bag.

“You’re courting death!” The man in the black robe was furious. What does he mean by ‘what does it amount to’? This was a Thousand-Year Polygonum Multiflorum! Who knows if he could find another one.

Although the man in the black robe didn’t take it away back then, he had left it for a key breakthrough in the future.

Now, a mere youngster had beaten him to it, how could he swallow this outrage?

“Young man, tell me your name,” The man in the black robe asked coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Fang Lin smirked, “What’s it to you if I tell you? My name is Zhang Erniu, I am a descendant of the ancient Zhang family, if you have guts then come find me.”

The elderly man in white wailed internally, this boy’s real name was Fang Lin, yet he was stirring up trouble here.

However, the man in the black robe seemed to ponder and then snorted coldly before his figure disappeared into the Pill Pole Tower.

“Zhang Erniu, I will remember you!”

That was the last thing the man in the black robe said, filled with chilling intensity.

Fang Lin scoffed, but inside he wasn’t as relaxed as he seemed.

Although he fabricated the name Zhang Erniu and claimed to be a descendant of the ancient Zhang family, the black-robed man, as a Hall Master, would find out his real identity once he investigated. He expected real trouble then.

“Kid, you have caused big trouble, daring to offend a Hall Master. I really don’t know where you got your courage from,” the elderly man in white said with some schadenfreude.

Fang Lin glanced at him, “So are you saying that because he’s a Hall Master, I can’t touch this Polygonum Multiflorum? Is that how it works?”

The elderly man in white had no answer. Even though Fang Lin was in the right. But the other guy’s position carried weight. Often, only those with power have the right to argue, without power, your arguments are nothing but jokes.

Fang Lin knew that no matter what he said, others would see him stealing the item that the Hall Master had his eyes on, but no matter what, he wouldn’t give up the Thousand-Year Polygonum Multiflorum. It had great use for him.

“You can still choose one type of medicinal herb, and after that, it’s best to leave here immediately,” the elderly man in white urged.

Fang Lin offered a faint smile, “What’s the rush? Since there’s one more left, of course I have to make a careful selection.”

As he spoke, Fang Lin touched his Beast Bag, and pulled out a sleepy-looking little golden beast.

The little golden beast seemed still half-asleep, rubbing its big eyes with its little paws, looking at its surroundings in confusion.

The old man in white was following behind Fang Lin and did not see the emergence of the little golden beast.

Fang Lin stroked the little golden beast’s head, the latter showing an expression of enjoyment. In no time, the little golden beast suddenly sniffed the air like a ferocious beast that had discovered prey. Its big eyes were filled with excitement as it looked around.

“What is that thing?” The white-clothed elder finally saw the little golden beast and asked, eyes wide.

Fang Lin didn’t reply, but patted the little golden beast’s head and asked, “Jin, see all these medicinal herbs here sealed in jade? Do you want to eat them?”

The little golden beast nodded repeatedly, it could completely understand what Fang Lin was saying. The herbs sealed in the jade were incredibly enticing for it. At the moment, it wished to break free from Fang Lin’s hand and directly pounce on those herbs.

Fang Lin chuckled, “Since you want to eat, then go bite those jades open.”

With that, Fang Lin let go of his hand, and the little golden beast shot out straight onto the nearest piece of jade.

Crack crack crack!

The sounds of chewing and biting kept coming. The teeth of the little golden beast were extremely hard. Even though the jade was just as hard, when faced with the teeth of the little golden beast, it was obviously no match.

Stone chips scattered, cracks appeared on the jade, all gnawed out by the little golden beast.

The white-clothed elder was stunned, what was happening? This little thing had actually managed to break the jade that sealed the medicinal herbs?

“What’s it doing? Stop it now!” The white-clothed elder screamed, his eyes turning red.

Fang Lin cheerfully replied, “Nothing much, just letting it grind its teeth.”

The white-clothed elder was practically driven mad, grinding its teeth? Grind your fucking head! Can’t you see the jade stone has almost been bitten through by that little thing?

“Fang Lin, make it stop, you’re only allowed to take three medicinal herbs here. You definitely can’t take more!” The white-clothed elder was furious.

Fang Lin rolled his eyes, yelling toward the little golden beast, “Jin, work harder.”

Squeak! Squeak!

As if responding to Fang Lin, the little golden beast increased its force and crushed the jade stone entirely, then quickly bit down on the herb inside, not considering anything else as it crammed all into its mouth.

The white-clothed elder was hopping mad but he couldn’t help being just an illusion.

“Well done!” Fang Lin complimented, indeed, the teeth of this little guy was trustworthy. It could even crush such hard jade.

Although the little golden beast had eaten one medicinal herb, Fang Lin didn’t find it a pity at all. After all, it relied on the little golden beast to break open the jade stones that enclosed the others. Letting it taste a sweet reward was early.

The jade stone may have had an array, but the teeth of the little golden beast directly destroyed it. It couldn’t block its sharp and hard teeth at all.

All Fang Lin had to do now was to leisurely stand by. After the little golden beast had gulped down the medicinal herb, its face wore an intoxicated expression, then it immediately jumped towards another piece of jade not far away.
