For Fang Lin, everything a Pill Refiner does must be extremely meticulous. There can be no room for any error, no matter how trivial it might be, as little mistakes could lead to unimaginable consequences.

In his previous life, Fang Lin had made many mistakes before becoming a Pill Sovereign. He had borne the consequences of these mistakes, but once he became a Pill Sovereign, Fang Lin had never made a mistake in Pill Refining again.

If a Pill Refiner even makes mistakes in the Pill Formula, he simply doesn’t deserve the title of a Pill Refiner.

Fang Lin was very angry, which led him to utter those words and throw the Purple Heart Pill Formula onto the ground like a piece of trash.

Meng Wuyou was taken aback for a good while before he finally erupted in fury.

“You little brat, what are you doing?” He scolded, while picking up the Purple Heart Pill Formula. He carefully dusted it off, fearful that it might have been contaminated with dust.

Fang Lin turned around to look at Meng Wuyou. Seeing Meng Wuyou’s face red with anger, he explained: “The formula is flawed. The Hemp Snake Vine doesn’t belong in it at all. Instead, it lacks the crucial Dragon Sunflower Grass. The errors are ludicrous. Even rubbish is better than this formula.”

Meng Wuyou stared blankly at Fang Lin, who he had always viewed as carefree and unscrupulous. However, this time, Fang Lin’s demeanor was extremely serious, making Meng, an elder, lose his authority in front of Fang Lin.

Fang Lin also seemed to realize that his attitude was somewhat inappropriate, so he quickly returned to his usual self, chuckling and saying, “Elder Meng, I’m not making false claims. The formula indeed has a problem.”

Meng Wuyou examined the pill formula. Indeed, it contained Hemp Snake Vine but did not include the Dragon Sunflower Grass mentioned by Fang Lin.

“Fang Lin, this pill formula has been passed down by several generations of our Pill Sect’s ancestors, there’s no way there could be an error.” Meng Wuyou still couldn’t believe it. After all, it’s a pill formula that had been verified by previous generations. How could he be easily convinced that it’s wrong when Fang Lin said so?

Furthermore, if this issue was magnified, it could be seen as Fang Lin disrespecting the ancestors. The implications of such an accusation could be immense.

After all, these pill formulas passed down by the elders represent authority. As a junior disciple, you accuse these formulas of being wrong. If you encounter an elder with a volatile temper, they will surely punish Fang Lin severely.

Although Meng Wuyou highly respected Fang Lin and was convinced of his talent and abilities, he could not lightly believe Fang Lin’s assertion to overthrow the pill formulas left by their ancestors.

“Fang Lin, consider this carefully. Though these are but pill formulas, overturning them could have severe consequences,” Meng cautioned.

Fang Lin remained calm and said, “I, your disciple, know that these pill formulas are the result of careful deliberation by our ancestors in the Pill Sect. But a mistake is a mistake. I won’t insist that a wrong is right simply because it came from our ancestors. Then I would not deserve the identity of a Pill Refiner.”

Hearing Fang Lin’s solemn words, Meng Wu You’s expression changed as well.

“You claim they are wrong, but why?” Meng Wu You asked.

Fang Lin replied plainly, “When I was young, a nameless senior taught me, and I have countless pill formulas in mind. The Purple Heart Pill definitely does not contain Hemp Snake Vine but should contain Dragon Sunflower Grass instead.”

Hearing this, Meng Wuyou looked even more astonished, reasoning to himself that it was no wonder that despite his young age, Fang Lin performed remarkably. Turned out he had received guidance from a master at a young age.

However, he did not entirely believe Fang Lin’s words since they seemed too elusive. Who could indeed discern the truth from the falseness? However, Meng Wuyou did not insist on this matter.

Seeing that Meng Wuyou remained silent, Fang Lin continued to examine the pill formulas. Soon, another pill formula was discarded by Fang Lin.

“The proportions in the formula for this Nine Wonders Pill are incorrect,” Fang Lin simply stated before diving back into the examination of pill formulas.

“This formula has an unnecessary herb.”

“This formula contains a herb that can be replaced with a more readily available one.”
