The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 896: Chapter 896: Pill Furnaces Resonate Together Chapter 896: Chapter 896: Pill Furnaces Resonate Together “The Stone-carved Ancient Book has responded. Could it be that someone has touched upon the Pill Tao again? I just don’t know which little fellow within our Pill Alliance it is.” The old fisherman muttered to himself, his murky eyes carrying a hint of peculiarity.

A moment later, the old man retracted his gaze, his expression returning to calm as he continued to fish by the lake, seemingly content and detached from the world under the slanting wind and fine rain.

In an ancient cave unknown to others, a figure sat cross-legged, appearing to be a youth, but with white hair and a face full of vicissitudes.

Around this white-haired youth, four different Pill Furnaces were placed, each with the illusory beast of a different species hovering above.

All four Pill Furnaces were refining pills, and the entire ancient cave was filled with a dense and peculiar fragrance of Dan.

“Hm?” The white-haired youth suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, sensing something.

“There’s been a fluctuation in the ancient book. It seems there has emerged another remarkable individual within the Pill Alliance. I just hope it’s not a fleeting wonder,” the white-haired youth said, his tone carrying a hint of complexity.

…

Inside North Town Hall, when Fang Lin approached the Stone-carved Ancient Book, he suddenly felt a buzz in his head, and immediately thereafter, everything before his eyes changed.

Fang Lin stood atop a vast and boundless starry cosmos, his feet treading upon the giant stars in motion below him.

Moreover, meteors with blinding light, accompanied by a whistling sound, passed by not far from him.

This scene was not unfamiliar to Fang Lin.

When he first broke through the tenth level of the Earth Element, Fang Lin had entered the bronze gates and seen such an unforgettable vista.

Though the scene here was slightly different from the world within the bronze gates, Fang Lin felt it was exceedingly similar.

Suddenly, Fang Lin looked ahead and saw a sight that stunned him.

At the end of the starry sky stood a towering figure, with countless stars swirling around him and the sun and the moon rising and setting in the palm of his hand.

This person was standing with his back to Fang Lin, as if turning his back on all the living beings, standing alone at the very end of the river of time, appearing desolate and lonely.

Upon seeing this figure, the entire starry space filled with numerous clamorous voices that surged madly into Fang Lin’s ears.

The intertwining voices caused Fang Lin an intense headache, an extreme pain, but soon these voices gradually faded away, leaving only one most shocking voice echoing throughout the star-filled heavens:
Dan!!!!

Fang Lin’s figure swayed, the only word echoing in his ears was this one.

In the outside world, the middle-aged beautiful woman and others witnessed a truly shocking and unforgettable sight.

The Stone-carved Ancient Book burst forth with an immensely brilliant light, hovering above Fang Lin, with ancient and obscure characters emerging one after another. Each character seemed to represent a type of Tao.

After these characters appeared, they revolved around Fang Lin’s body and then continuously entered into him.

Not only that, but with the appearance and disappearance of these ancient characters, numerous Pill Furnace illusions also appeared in layers.

At this moment, across the Nine Countries Seven Seas, every Pill Furnace in use, as well as those not in use, erupted with strange resonances.

The sound from the Pill Furnaces was earth-shattering, making the Nine Countries tremble, the Seven Seas boil, and causing countless Pill Refiners and Martial Artists to be astonished.

“Why is this happening? Why are these Pill Furnaces suddenly resonating out of nowhere?”

“What on earth is happening? Could it be that some divine pill is about to emerge from the furnace?”

“I think it must be some important figure in the Pill Alliance who has entered an extremely profound realm, causing such a disturbance!”

“Nonsense! It must be an ancient power’s Pill Furnace that is about to appear in the world, which is why all the pill furnaces under heaven are chiming in unison!”

…

In the Nine Countries Seven Seas, countless people were discussing, not knowing what had happened and could only speculate.

Inside the North Town Hall, all the Pill Furnaces were also continuously resonating, leaving everyone utterly astonished.

At the same time, around Fang Lin, the scenery changed again, and the phantoms of Pill Furnaces all disappeared, replaced by the figures of Alchemy Tao ancestors.

One after another, these ancestral figures who had accomplished great feats in Alchemy Tao appeared as lifelike yet ephemeral phantoms, and all of their gazes fell upon Fang Lin.

“I’m not seeing things, am I? Can such bizarre events really happen?” The grey-clothed Inspection Envoy rubbed his eyes, speaking in disbelief.

However, he discovered that no one heard his words, everyone else was looking at Fang Lin.

Within the starry sky, Fang Lin regained his composure and couldn’t help but rise a deep curiosity, “Who are you exactly?”

He shouted loudly, but the figure showed no response, as if it was very far away from Fang Lin, completely unable to hear any sound from him.

It was at this moment that the figure suddenly moved, slowly turning its body around.

Fang Lin strained his eyes, trying to see what the person’s face looked like, but just as he was about to catch a glimpse, he suddenly felt the world spinning around him.

When he came to, Fang Lin’s consciousness had returned to his body, and all the strange visions had disappeared.

The Stone-carved Ancient Book lost its glow and lay quietly in Fang Lin’s depth of field.

Fang Lin himself felt that there was something more in his mind, yet he couldn’t remember what it was.

As for the face of the figure in the depths of the stars, in that last moment, Fang Lin seemed to have caught a glimpse, but now upon recollection, he could not remember at all, as if some force had forcefully erased what he had seen of that face.

“Who exactly is he?” Fang Lin gritted his teeth, his mood still not quite calm, with a feeling of inability to let go.

The people present were all dumbstruck, unable to react for a long time.

The middle-aged beautiful woman stared at Fang Lin, then suddenly said, “The youngest Master of Pill in the Pill Alliance, I have witnessed a prodigy, and I have witnessed a miracle!”

Her voice rang out, immediately awakening the others like from a dream, revealing looks of shock on their faces.

Indeed, in this Pill Soul test, Fang Lin was actually able to cause such a phenomenon, especially evoking such a reaction from the Stone-carved Ancient Book, he had definitely passed.

Moreover, such phenomena had never occurred in the history of the Pill Alliance, it seemed only Fang Lin alone had caused such a stir during the Pill Soul test.

The higher-ups of the Pill Alliance watching everything happening here through the projection, were mostly still not recovered from their shock.

“Does this mean he has passed the test?” someone asked in confusion amidst their uncertainty.

Then he felt embarrassed by his own question—if this didn’t count as passing the test, what would?

“I have never seen anyone cause such an extraordinary change in the Stone-carved Ancient Book. This child is too astounding!” said the oldest elder, his words tinged with shock.
