The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron-Chapter 369 - : The Dragon’s Voice
Chapter 369: Chapter 369: The Dragon’s Voice
Fang Lin’s words functioned like a stone thrown onto the calm surface of a lake, stirring up thousands of ripples.
All the people looked at him, their eyes filled with astonishment.
“He’s actually challenging Guo Zhen?”
“Fang Lin sure likes to make a commotion each time.”
“This time, he’s likely to make a fool of himself.”
“Not necessarily. It’s always hard to measure this man by common sense.”
The crowd buzzed with discussion, some people disdained Fang Lin’s decision to challenge Guo Zhen, viewing it as a self-inflicted punishment.
Others had a faint expectation for Fang Lin, hoping that he could once again surprise everyone.
That being said, a vast majority rationally believed that Fang Lin would not be able to defeat Guo Zhen.
After all, Chu He who had challenged Su Xiaotong had just met a disastrous defeat. Although Fang Lin had performed excellently before, at this stage, the actual power of a Pill Refiner was what mattered, not some side skills.
So far, Fang Lin had never refined any pills in front of the crowd, they had no idea how accomplished Fang Lin was in Pill Refining.
The delegation from Ming Kingdom were naturally sneering coldly, seeing Fang Lin’s act as overstepping his abilities while the people from Yun Country looked excited for the show.
“Fang Lin, are you confident?” A young man from Qian Country asked anxiously.
Fang Lin chuckled. “I guess so.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped on the arena without any response from the crowd.
On the stage, Guo Zhen was looking at Fang Lin with a cold smile, like a hidden wolf stalking its prey.
“I didn’t expect you to be the first to challenge me.” Guo Zhen said, his voice filled with a tone of jest and contempt.
Fang Lin replied with a slight smile, “I’m not confident with the other two, but dealing with you should be okay.”
His words immediately caused an uproar. Everyone was amazed by Fang Lin’s bold statement.
Guo Zhen’s face clouded over instantly, visibly seething with rage.
Clearly, the message behind Fang Lin’s words was that Guo Zhen, in his eyes, was someone he could easily deal with.
How on earth could Guo Zhen put up with this?
“Good, I’ve never seen someone as arrogant as you.” Guo Zhen sneered, but his smile seemed terrifying no matter how you look at it.
Fang Lin touched his nose, “I’m not arrogant at all. This is what you call confidence.”
Guo Zhen laughed coldly, becoming even more convinced that Fang Lin was just a reckless fool.
“Is this kid too arrogant?”
“Daring to say such a thing to Guo Zhen, he’s indeed courageous.”
“However, if Fang Lin loses, he’ll lose big.”
“Heh, heh, who made him so arrogant.”
Many people shook their heads, feeling that it was not appropriate for Fang Lin to speak like that before the competition even started.
The people of the Meng Kingdom were even more furious, hurling curses at him.
On the other two stages, Su Xiaotong looked somewhat surprised, whereas Zhao Shenkong was expressionless.
“Su Jianchuan, I originally thought that the most arrogant person in this congress was Zhao Shenkong, but now it seems that your Qian Country’s Fang Lin, is even more arrogant than Zhao Shenkong.” Old Woman Gu said to Elder Su who was sitting beside her, her wrinkled face showing a stern expression.
The stern looking elderly also spoke, “Zhao Shenkong’s arrogance is built on a solid foundation. I don’t know what made Fang Lin this arrogant? If he doesn’t have any basis for it, then he’s just setting himself up to be a laughing stock.”
Elder Su smiled lightly, showing no anger, “Whether he has any basis or not, we’ll know soon.”
Seeing Elder Su so calm, the stern looking elderly and Old Woman Gu were somewhat puzzled, Could it be that Fang Lin was really hiding his talents? Otherwise, why would this old boy be so calm?
However, Old Woman Gu still had great trust in Guo Zhen. In her opinion, except for Zhao Shenkong, no one could challenge him in this Pill Refiner Congress.
At this moment, on the stage, without saying a word, Guo Zhen clapped his hands on the Nine Palace Bag. With a thud, a Pill Furnace appeared in front of Guo Zhen.
Upon seeing this Pill Furnace, Fang Lin’s eyes showed a hint of surprise. The crowd below, however, let out an astonished exclamation.
“Five Mountain Cauldron! It’s indeed the Five Mountain Cauldron!”

“Is this the relic of the legendary Pill Refiner from the Meng Kingdom?”
“Indeed it is, I didn’t expect Guo Zhen to have it.”
The Pill Furnace of Guo Zhen, with its heavy and retro-style shape, was an incredibly rare five-legged cauldron.
Even more so, five majestic mountains were carved on the body of the cauldron, exuding an awe-inspiring aura that made people look up in admiration.
This cauldron was known as the Five Mountain!
It was said that several hundred years ago, a remarkably talented individual in the Meng Kingdom turned the essence stones from five mountains into a Five Mountain Cauldron with the Earth Fire.
In terms of the value of Pill Furnaces, this Five Mountain Cauldron was no less inferior than Su Xiaotong’s Python Bone Cauldron.
The essence stones from five mountains had been used to forge one single Pill Furnace, which was definitely a display of extreme extravagance.
Guo Zhen showcased his Pill Furnace to intimidate Fang Lin, trying to show him the gap between their capabilities.
“Your Pill Furnace is not bad, can you give it to me?” Fang Lin asked eagerly.
Guo Zhen looked at Fang Lin as if he was an idiot, sneered, “Are you dreaming?”
Fang Lin went on, “How about we make a bet? If I win, you will give me your Five Mountain Cauldron. If I lose, I will give you my Pill Furnace.”
“Has Fang Lin gone mad?”
“He actually wants Guo Zhen’s Five Mountain Cauldron?”
“I’m going to die laughing.”
“I’ve seen idiots but not this idiotic.”
People laughed out loud, mocking Fang Lin, deeming him as naive for wanting Guo Zhen’s Five Mountain Cauldron. Unless Guo Zhen was out of his mind, he wouldn’t hand it over to you.
“Your Pill Furnace? Bring it up for us to see.” Guo Zhen uttered disdainfully.
Fang Lin pouted and showed a reluctant expression, “My Pill Furnace is really worthless, it’s not as good as your Five Mountain Cauldron, please don’t make fun of me, okay.”
While speaking, under the mocking gaze of everyone, Fang Lin took out his own Pill Furnace.
As soon as the people’s gaze landed on Fang Lin’s Pill Furnace, everyone was shocked and their eyes widened.
At the same time, the Python Bone Cauldron in front of Su Xiaotong suddenly started to shake, seemingly very uneasy.
A magnificent dragon chant that seemed to originate from ancient times echoed throughout the arena, coming from Fang Lin’s Pill Furnace.
This dragon chant made everyone, including big shots like Zhuge Cang, lose their composure.
“What was that sound? The pressure is terrifying!”
“What did I hear?”
“A dragon! The voice of a true dragon!”
Old Woman Gu and the stern elderly sprang to their feet, their gaze fiercely fixed on the stage.
Elder Su was also surprised, he had no idea that Fang Lin actually owned such a terrifying Pill Furnace.
