The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron - Chapter 394: 394: Hall Master Level Powerhouse

Chapter 394: Chapter 394: Hall Master Level Powerhouse

Upon hearing this, Fang Lin turned his head, a look of confusion on his face.

“Why?” Fang Lin asked, bewildered.

The elder in white shook his head and said, “In short, you can’t take this Polygonum Multiflorum. Even if you did, it would bring great disaster upon you.”

Fang Lin was speechless. The old fellow was rambling, after declaring that the Corpse Ginseng would bring catastrophe, now he was saying that this Polygonum Multiflorum would bring doom on him. Was he trying to scare him intentionally?

At that moment, Fang Lin looked at the elder in white with an extremely doubtful and contemptuous gaze.

It was not surprising that Fang Lin thought this way. The Polygonum Multiflorum placed here, no one had fought him for it. Also, he had only taken a Fire Ganoderma Lucidum, so why couldn’t he take this Thousand-Year Polygonum Multiflorum as well?

Fang Lin couldn’t figure it out. He felt as if the elder in white was intentionally trying to prevent him from obtaining the Thousand-Year Polygonum Multiflorum.

Fang Lin’s gaze made the elder in white rather uncomfortable. Annoyed, he said, “What are you looking at? It’s not that I don’t want to give you the Polygonum Multiflorum, but it has been spotted by some big-shot. There’s his imprint on the jade stone. If you dissolve it and the imprint disappears, he will know that you took the Polygonum Multiflorum. At that time, he will surely find you.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Lin immediately understood. After all that trouble, so that’s what it was all about.

However, Fang Lin was instantly puzzled, “Which big-shot?”

The person addressed as a big-shot by the elder in white must be someone extraordinary. Fang Lin needed to know more.

The elder in white shook his head repeatedly: “I can’t say, speaking about it won’t do you any good.”

Fang Lin sneered, “Old man, you’ve already said so much, what can’t be said? Are you saying, after you tell me, that big-shot will come to trouble you?”

“Would I be afraid of him?” The elder in white snorted indignantly.

Fang Lin smiled: “Well, since you, old man, are not afraid, why not tell me? After all, it’s me who’s being hunted by the big-shot, not you.”

After hearing what Fang Lin said, the elder in white hesitated for a moment, then finally said, “That big-shot, now should be part of the top ranks in the Pill Alliance, maybe even a Hall Master. When he entered the Pill Pole Tower, he took a liking to this Polygonum Multiflorum. However, at that time, he had already taken three other herbs. He didn’t take the Polygonum Multiflorum but left his imprint on it, he intended to come back and collect it later.”

Fang Lin frowned. This made things a bit complicated.

A Hall Master of the Pill Alliance was an extremely high status, so high that from Fang Lin’s current standpoint, he had to look up to them.

In the Pill Alliance, the hierarchy was clear. The four Heaven Kings held the highest authority, controlling the greatest power of the Pill Alliance.

Under the four Heaven Kings were eight Elders. They formed the Elder Committee of the Pill Alliance. When none of the four Heaven Kings made a move, all matters in the Pill Alliance would be handled according to the will of the eight Elders.

Below the eight Elders were thirty-two Hall Masters, each holding a significant stronghold in the Pill Alliance. They wielded great power and were comparable to regional lords.

Any Hall Master had a great deal of say in the Pill Alliance. For example, the Pill Alliance branch in Qian Country was under the jurisdiction of a Hall Master.

Fang Lin never expected this Thousand-Year Polygonum Multiflorum to have caught the eye of a powerhouse at the Hall Master level, and that person had even left an imprint. This was indeed troublesome.

Fang Lin felt a headache. You said you left a mark, but why didn’t you take it away? Now that I see it, should I take it or not?

Fang Lin pondered for about the time of two blinks, then made a decision—Of course, he was going to take it!

I don’t care who you are. You didn’t take this Polygonum Multiflorum, so why can’t I take it when I see it?

There is no such thing!

In Fang Lin’s view, there were a hundred reasons to take the Polygonum Multiflorum. He didn’t care if the old man was a Hall Master or an Elder. In any case, Fang Lin had decided to take it.

If everyone did this, leaving imprints on what they fancy and coming back for them later, wouldn’t that cause a mess?

Fang Lin cleared his mind. He had already decided to take the Polygonum Multiflorum.

“Kid, are you out of your mind? If you take the Polygonum Multiflorum, you’re virtually offending a Hall Master.” The elder in white exclaimed in surprise.

Fang Lin rolled his eyes: “So what if I offend him? After all, it’s me who’ll take the blame, not you. Why are you so worried?”

The elder in white was infuriated. Good intentions indeed weren’t returned. He had specifically warned him, yet this young man insisted on pushing forward.

However, the elder in white was also taken aback by Fang Lin’s guts. Even though he knew the consequences of taking this Polygonum Multiflorum, he still chose to act. This was sheer audacity.

No wonder, this young man had been audacious enough to forcibly break into The Immortal Medicine Pavilion. What else would he dare not do?

Then, Fang Lin placed one hand on top of the jade stone. Ten breaths later, the jade stone began to melt.

At the same time, somewhere in a hall, a figure suddenly opened his eyes.

“Someone dares to take what I’ve set my sights on?” In the darkness, a figure suddenly stood up, a touch of coldness in his eyes.

In The Immortal Medicine Pavilion, Fang Lin was staring at the Polygonum Multiflorum in the jade stone, waiting for the jade stone to completely dissolve.

Just at this moment, a flicker of light surged. Fang Lin immediately stepped back, his eyes full of vigilance.

The light shone from the jade stone, followed by the emergence of a figure.

This figure was draped in a black cloak, his long hair flowing freely, and his face was stern and cold, he was an extraordinarily remarkable man.

When the elder in white saw the appearance of this figure, he immediately looked at Fang Lin sympathetically. This young man was in big trouble, having attracted the attention of a Hall Master, he was afraid there would be no good end to this.

Fang Lin furrowed his eyebrows. He felt a severe threat emanating from this man in the black.

“Who are you?” Fang Lin asked, taking the initiative. He assumed that this man was likely the one who had left the imprint on the Polygonum Multiflorum.

The man in black proudly gazed at Fang Lin, not uttering a word, as if to memorize Fang Lin’s face.

“Are you deaf, I asked you a question? Or perhaps you’re mute?” Fang Lin said impatiently. He was extremely annoyed by the gaze of the man in black. He was yet another who thought highly of himself.

“You’re very brave, but you will pay the price for your foolish actions and words,” the man sneered with a look of contempt in his eyes.

Fang Lin cupped his hand behind his ear: “Enough already, why so many words? If you’re capable, do something. If you’re not, then quit your chattering. I have important things to do.”

The elder in white was astounded by Fang Lin. He was truly fearless. After all, the man was a Hall Master. If this was happening in the outside world, one small movement from the man could crush Fang Lin.

However, here, within this Pill Pole Tower, even if he was a Hall Master, he could only appear as an intangible entity and couldn’t wield any bit of his power.

“Kid, I’ll remember you.” The man said coldly.
