The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 439: Chapter 439: This dude sees through the vanity of the world

Since Fang Lin obtained the Extreme Sea Tripod, he hadn’t used it very often. Despite its ranking being on par with the Shenlong Cauldron, Fang Lin admittedly had a greater fondness for the Shenlong Cauldron.

Therefore, Fang Lin decided to absorb the Extreme Sea Tripod to enhance the prowess of the Nine Cauldron Skypassing Spell.

Immediately, Fang Lin secured the courtyard gate, set up an array using the Jade Slip, and then sat in a lotus position in the inner room.

He was already well-versed in cultivating the Nine Cauldron Skypassing Spell. The Extreme Sea Tripod appeared before him, exuding a wave-like aura periodically.

The Tripod was a gift from a mysterious woman in the ancient cave. Even if he did absorb it, Fang Lin wouldn’t feel the least bit of remorse.

Fang Lin took a pill then closed his eyes, activating the Nine Cauldron Skypassing Spell.

Visibly, streams of blue aura flew out of the Extreme Sea Tripod and were absorbed by Fang Lin through his mouth and nose.

In essence, the Nine Cauldron Skypassing Spell transforms a Pill Cauldron into its purest form – Cauldron Qi, and then absorbs and refines it.

In his past life, despite absorbing many high-quality Pill Furnaces, Fang Lin was only able to cultivate the Nine Cauldron Skypassing Spell to the eighth level.

In this life, Fang Lin’s Nine Cauldron Skypassing Spell has just achieved the second level. He hasn’t truly absorbed any high-quality Pill Furnaces. This Extreme Sea Tripod is the highest quality one so far.

But merely absorbing a single Extreme Sea Tripod wouldn’t allow the Nine Cauldron Skypassing Spell to break through to the third level. At most, it would just improve Fang Lin’s power a bit without causing any significant change in his level.

Nevertheless, Fang Lin was satisfied. For his present self, the level didn’t matter, because he aimed to reach the tenth level of the Earth Element.

Improving his power was the most direct and effective measure for him.

The Extreme Sea Tripod transformed into numerous streams of Cauldron Qi, continuously being absorbed into Fang Lin’s body. The process was slow, but the advantage was stability and the absence of any unexpected incidents.

Time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.

Ten days later, Fang Lin ended his retreat, and came out of the inner room into the courtyard. After stretching lazily and causing a crackling sound throughout his body, Fang Lin had completely absorbed the Extreme Sea Tripod. Although still at the ninth layer of the Earth Element, his power had improved substantially.

In Fang Lin’s estimation, even an individual at the peak of the ninth layer of the Earth Element would not have the upper hand in a fight against him.

Of course, if it were freaks like Han Xiaoxing and Yang Xuanfeng, it would not be certain. They both have terrifying power that far exceeds the normal peak of the ninth layer of the Earth Element.

After finishing the cultivation, Fang Lin was in a good mood and took out the Corpse Ginseng from the Nine Palace Bag.

“Boy, have you finally come to your senses? Ready to give me the remaining ancient medicinal herbs?” The Corpse Ginseng squinted at Fang Lin as soon as it was out.

Fang Lin habitually slapped it: “Did I already give you the ancient medicinal herbs? How much more do you want?”

The Corpse Ginseng looked wronged: “You owe me so so many ancient medicinal herbs, I lost count.”

Fang Lin slapped it again: “We’ll discuss the ancient medicinal herbs later. You absorbed so much corpse qi at Ghost Mountain. Why hasn’t there been any change?”

Hearing this, the Corpse Ginseng patted its body, boasting: “What do you mean no change? Open your eyes and take a good look. Hasn’t my perfect body become even more perfect?”

Fang Lin was speechless, ‘your perfect body’? Isn’t it just tougher skin? What does that have to do with being perfect?

“Stop spouting nonsense. You absorbed so much corpse qi, it should have caused some changes. Are you purposely hiding them?” Fang Lin looked at the Corpse Ginseng suspiciously.

The Corpse Ginseng remained unaffected, looking confident. “Kid, this is called keeping a low profile. You wouldn’t understand.”

Fang Lin chuckled, this Corpse Ginseng was truly incorrigible. Without a stern attitude, it was uncontrollable.

Therefore, Fang Lin decided not to waste his time talking, and directly started slamming the Corpse Ginseng onto the ground.

He slammed it causing dust to rise, and the ground to ring with a thump.

However, this time, the Corpse Ginseng did not howl as usual. Instead, it crossed its arms and remained unfazed by Fang Lin’s harsh treatment, maintaining an unflustered expression.

“Go ahead and slam, I’ve transcended worldly affairs. I couldn’t care less about physical pain. Even if you make a hole in the ground, I will laugh it off as a mere itch.” The Corpse Ginseng said, trying to provoke.

Then, Fang Lin indeed made a hole in the ground.

Yet, the Corpse Ginseng didn’t even bat an eyelid, as if it couldn’t feel itself being slammed onto the ground.

“It seems your absorption of corpse qi has thickened your old pickle skin.” Fang Lin found himself getting tired from the Corpse Ginseng’s lack of reaction.

“I’ve said it before, kid. You can’t do anything to me. Just obediently give me the ancient medicinal herbs and I’ll protect you.” The Corpse Ginseng roared with laughter.

Fang Lin rolled his eyes, ‘Is this old pickle planning a rebellion today?’

Upon this, Fang Lin stopped being polite, casually took out the Shenlong Cauldron, and then stoked the flame.

“Hey, hey, what are you going to do?” Seeing the blazing Pill Furnace, the Corpse Ginseng had a slight change of color.

Fang Lin grabbed it without saying anything. His face, however, was filled with a sinister smile.

The Corpse Ginseng was a bit flustered. ‘What is he going to do? Could this guy really want to refine me as a medicinal ingredient?’

The more it thought, the more possible it seemed, causing panic within the Corpse Ginseng. But externally, it tried to keep calm.

Fang Lin looked at it and sneered internally, ‘Wait till I throw you into the Pill Furnace and see if you can still maintain your calm.’

“Kid, I’m tired. I want to go back to the bag and rest.” The Corpse Ginseng suddenly feigned weakness.

Fang Lin smiled, “No rush, I’ll let you rest for a while.”

The Corpse Ginseng turned green. It started to struggle restlessly in Fang Lin’s hands.

“Well, boy, I was just joking earlier. I don’t need the ancient medicinal herbs.” The Corpse Ginseng said with a stiff facial expression.

Without responding, Fang Lin looked at the thoroughly heated Pill Furnace, and then pretended to throw the Corpse Ginseng into it.

“Wait, wait, wait! Let’s talk about it! Young people shouldn’t be so impulsive!” The Corpse Ginseng screamed and clung onto Fang Lin’s hand firmly, fearing that it would be thrown in.

Fang Lin tried to shake it off with force, only to find that he couldn’t. This old pickle was clinging on too tightly.

“You said you had detached from worldly values, didn’t you? You should fulfill your final value, jump into the Pill Furnace by yourself, and turn into a pill.” Fang Lin said.

The Corpse Ginseng shivered. It was indeed immune to any weaponry, but if it was thrown into a pill furnace, it would be tormented by the scorching heat day and night. That was something it couldn’t handle.
