Chapter 205: Chapter 205: Another Kind of Flame
Translator: 549690339
This object isn’t a pill; it’s a pill furnace!
This crimson pill furnace, reminiscent of a ball of flame flying by, gave off a surging red light. At first glance, it seemed like a setting sun.
As soon as the furnace made its appearance, the temperature within the pill array seemed to increase markedly, causing the disciples of the Pill Sect with weaker cultivation to break out in sweat.
The elderly powerhouses of the Purple Mist Sect were taken aback at the sight of this red furnace, as they recognized something extraordinary.
“This is Lu Sheng’s Fire Mystic Cauldron, identical to the one described in ancient texts!”
“It’s actually the Fire Mystic Cauldron. I didn’t expect Lu Sheng to have hidden it inside the statue.”
“Fang Lin has such extraordinary luck; even the Fire Mystic Cauldron fell into his hands.”
All the elders recognized this crimson pill furnace to be the Fire Mystic Cauldron once used by Lu Sheng, one of the Four Saints of the Pill Sect.
“Legend has it that this cauldron was obtained by Lu Sheng from an erupting volcano, it’s an object from ancient times. It’s extremely valuable,” said an elder, with an excitement trembling in his voice.
The crowd stared in surprise as they learned of the profound history of the Fire Mystic Cauldron and indeed, it appeared to be a treasure.
Fang Lin stood up, his gaze fixated on the Fire Mystic Cauldron, a glint of eagerness in his eyes.
The Fire Mystic Cauldron landed thumpingly in front of Fang Lin, leaving four large pits on the ground where its four legs dug deep into the earth.
Being in proximity with the Fire Mystic Cauldron, Fang Lin could directly sense its actual heat – It felt as if he was standing in front of a flame.
Fang Lin couldn’t help but reaching out to touch it.
When his finger came into contact with the cauldron’s body, contrary to his anticipation, he didn’t feel any scorching heat, but merely a slight warmth.
Fang Lin chuckled to himself; the Fire Mystic Cauldron used to be Lu Sheng’s property, and its revelation was likely due to it acknowledging Fang Lin, allowing him to touch it.
Had it been anyone else, merely touching the Fire Mystic Cauldron would probably result in burns due to its intense heat.
After all, even without any fire, the Fire Mystic Cauldron can still be used to refine pills; its inherent temperature alone is sufficient to melt most medicinal herbs.
“Such a fantastic Fire Mystic Cauldron, thank you for the gift, Lu Sheng. I can’t express my gratitude enough,” Fang Lin exclaimed, bowing to the statue of Lu Sheng.
Then, right in front of everyone, Fang Lin casually put the Fire Mystic Cauldron into his storage bag.
This action aroused envy in many onlookers. The cauldron was once used by Lu Sheng, but now it was casually taken by Fang Lin, which was quite infuriating.
In the entire Pill Sect, it would be difficult to find many pill furnaces that could be pared with this Fire Mystic Cauldron.
Zhao Dengming couldn’t help but feel agitated. Now that Fang Lin had obtained the Fire Mystic Cauldron, it was akin to giving wings to a tiger; Fang Lin’s intelligence was already quite terrifying, and having this cauldron would make things even more difficult.
“Fang Lin, this furnace belongs to the Four Saints, you should hand it over to the sect leader. You are not qualified to keep it. Hand it over now!” Zhao Dengming shouted in righteous indignation, acting as if he was truly considering the sect’s interests.
However, his words drew contempt and disdain from many around him. Even some disciples felt that Zhao Dengming was utterly shameless.
“You disgusting piece of trash, lackey of the Gu family, dare to utter another word of nonsense, be careful the Four Saints might strike you down here!” Dugu Nian shouted abusively, not giving Zhao Dengming any face.
The four elder protectors by Fang Lin’s side also gave Zhao Dengming a cold and dissatisfied look, feeling that this man was utterly shameless.
Zhao Dengming’s expression changed intermittently between green and pallid. He had uttered those words in desperation but had inadvertently made himself the butt of the joke.
Fang Lin glanced at Zhao Dengming and gave a slight smile, “Elder Zhao, don’t rush. The gifts from the Four Saints are not over yet. You’re protesting a bit too soon.”
Upon hearing Fang Lin’s words, Zhao Dengming’s face turned black as if it was the bottom of a pot, and his anger was on the verge of erupting.
As soon as Fang Lin finished speaking, from within the four beams of light, indeed, another object flew out.
The crowd’s expressions twitched in agony. It’s not over yet? Given just the Golden Core pill, Fang Lin had been able to significantly increase his power level. Now with the extremely precious Fire Mystic Cauldron following right after, any one of these two would have been an extraordinary gift on their own.
Now, the Golden Core had been swallowed by Fang Lin, and the Fire Mystic Cauldron had fallen into his hands. But the legacy of the Four Saints had not ended, what was happening?
The third object that flew out promptly revealed its true form. Everyone’s expression became vacant; they were like people who had received a heavy blow.
Flame!
The third object that had flown from the pillar of light turned out to be a flame.
Soul manding Pill Fire!
“Am I dreaming? Did the Four Saints also leave behind the Soul manding Pill Fire?”
“He’s defying nature! Fang Lin is really defying nature now!”
“Aside from the Soul manding Pill Fire, is there anything else that the Four Saints have been too generous with?”
Many of the onlookers felt like crying. How could there be such a gap between people? Fang Lin was just sitting there calling out a few words, and everything was happening in his favor?
Fang Lin himself hadn’t expected that the third object would be the Soul manding Pill Fire.
This flame, emanating a dark purple color, almost indistinguishable from black when viewed from afar.
Within the flame, one could vaguely discern the figure of a demon beast.
Fang Lin immediately deduced that this should be the flame from inside a certain demon beast, which had been extracted by the Four Saints and refashioned into the Soul manding Pill Fire.
The Soul manding Pill Fire is mainly divided into three categories. One is the natural flame generated by the heavens and the earth, such as the Fire of the Extreme Sea that Fang Lin had obtained from the ancient cave.
Another is the flame born within the body of a demon beast. Pill refiners can refine these to create their own Soul manding Pill Fire.
The last category is the Soul manding Pill Fire cultivated by the pill refiners themselves, which is closely connected with their soul.
Among these three types of Soul manding Pill Fire, the highest grade is the one cultivated by the pill refiners themselves.
If a pill refiner is able to cultivate their own Soul manding Pill Fire, they are considered highly acplished in the path of pill refining and worthy of being respected by countless people.
However, in reality, ninety-nine percent of pill refiners can’t cultivate their own Soul manding Pill Fire. They usually obtain natural flames or extract flames from demon beasts to use for their own refining.
It’s manifestly clear that this dark purple flame was extracted from a demon beast and had been refined by the Four Saints. It was then sealed within the statue, waiting for a person of destiny.
“Didn’t Fang Lin already have a blue Soul manding Pill Fire? Can he absorb this flame?” Some disciples of Pill Sect showed puzzled expressions.
An elderly powerhouse explained, “A pill refiner can acmodate multiple Soul manding Pill Fires, but they must be able to refine it. If they fail, their body will be destroyed by the backlash of the fire, and they will die.”
“Ah! Isn’t Fang Lin in danger then?” Some were astonished and began to worry for Fang Lin.
People like Zhao Dengming, on the other hand, longed for Fang Lin’s failure. At this moment, they were eagerly awaiting Fang Lin’s failure in refining the fire.
