The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron-Chapter 775 - : Ridiculous
Chapter 775: Chapter 775: Ridiculous
Fang Lin’s words left everyone in the venue paralyzed for a moment. Immediately after, they revealed expressions of shock, looking at Fang Lin with disbelief.
Regardless of the elders present or the North Town Hall Master, they were all deeply moved.
Is this the true Alchemy Tao? Rising above it all, no longer clinging to the reputation of family clans, pursuing the most challenging aspect of alchemical practice, and then surpassing it. Is this the path a Pill Refiner should truly tread?
If these words were coming from an experienced senior alchemist, perhaps everyone would be thoroughly convinced.
But these words, coming from a young lad like Fang Lin, instilled not only shock but also skepticism in the audience.
Ling Zhongtian stood up, watching Fang Lin. His expression was indifferent as he stated, “Your words are laughable.”
...
Fang Lin retorted mockingly, “And how is that?”
Ling Zhongtian said, “The true Tao of Alchemy is not something you or I could define. Only those who have stepped into the Supreme Realm are the true representatives of the Alchemy Tao.”
“Oh? This Supreme Realm you spoke of, what is this?” Fang Lin’s smile became more playful.
A wild fanatical look crossed Ling Zhongtian’s face, “Naturally, it is the unimaginable realm of the Pill Sovereign. Only by stepping into this realm can one truly represent the supreme Tao of Alchemy. Below the Pill Sovereign, any Pill Refiner, no matter how accomplished, remains as insignificant as an ant.”
The term ‘Pill Sovereign’ shook every soul present. It was an ineffable realm, a realm not easily spoken of.
Although everyone was aware of the legend of the Pill Sovereign, only few in the world dared to mention the term ‘Pill Sovereign’.
The reason is simple, to speak of the Pill Sovereign shows great confidence and extraordinary talent. It indicates the speaker’s ambition to challenge the realm of the Pill Sovereign himself, displaying true ambition.
It was clear, Ling Zhongtian was one such person. He dared to mention the Pill Sovereign, demonstrating his immense confidence. Even if the realm of the Pill Sovereign was a distant dream, he believed that one day he might touch upon this realm.
“Bravo! Worthy of a talent nurtured by the Ling Clan!”
“That’s the audacity of a real alchemy genius!”
“Correct, there is only one path for a Pill Refiner, and that’s the Pill Sovereign, everything else is nonsense.”
····
Ling Zhongtian’s words resonated with many in the audience. Their faces glowed with excitement and fervor, as if they, like Ling Zhongtian, had gained confidence, seeing a bright and hopeful future.
Many of the high-ranking members of the North Town Hall nodded, looking towards Ling Zhongtian, their eyes filled with unguarded admiration.
“The Ling Clan is indeed one of the most powerful alchemic clans with the deepest foundations, producing quite a few talents this generation.”
“Apart from Ling Zhongtian, the Ling Clan also has sidekicks like Ling Zhongru and Ling Zhongri, three talents from a single house!”
“These three all have a high possibility of becoming master alchemists before they’re 30.”
“The Ling Clan is so prosperous, their prestige in the Pill Alliance is also on the rise.”
“Seeing how big a name these three talents are making, it is a good sign.”
····
Ling Zhongtian stood confidently in the center, exuding an aura of unconquerable authority, completely overshadowing the other young Pill Refiners present.
Zhu Yuntao, Shen Xue Jian, and Mo Yun all looked serious. Ling Zhongtian’s brilliance was a great pressure for them.
“Hehe.” At this moment, a jeering laugh uttered from Fang Lin, which was particularly ear-piercing.
“What are you laughing at?” Ling Zhongtian looked at Fang Lin coldly, the insouciance in his gaze seemed to rub off on Fang Lin.
Fang Lin’s laugh was bright, but it was rather unpleasant to Ling Zhongtian. It felt like he was the one turned into a failure.
“You dare to dare to casually mention the Pill Sovereign, your audacity is not bad, but alas,” Fang Lin shook his head, his tone pooling with scorn.
“But alas what?” Ling Zhongtian retorted coldly.
“Alas, you have no idea of what the Pill Sovereign actually is,” Fang Lin stated, his tone remarkably indifferent, as if it momentarily dismissed any emotional fluctuations.
And the entire main hall, even the entire North Town Hall, was for a moment plunged into a bizarre silence.
At that moment, everyone was seemingly frozen in time, except Ling Zhongtian who felt himself trapped in an indescribable colossal Pill Furnace.
Surrounded by towering flames, as if they were about to incinerate Ling Zhongtian. Startled, he raised his head, his face showing terror, as he viewed a memory that would last a lifetime.
The sky as a lid, the earth as a furnace, and the stars and the moon in his grasp. That was a vague yet majestic figure controling the Pill Furnace, known as Heaven and Earth.
Ling Zhongtian found himself in the incomprehensibly enormous Furnace of Heaven and Earth, feeling minute like an ant and frail as a weak branch.
“Insignificant ant, dare to discuss the Pill Sovereign?” The majestic figure issued a booming voice.
Ling Zhongtian spat out blood with a look of utter horror. He recognized the face of the figure. It was Fang Lin.
This moment gave off a completely different vibe from his usual days, filled with a sense of majesty that could not be blasphemed against.
The moment passed, everything disappeared as if nothing had happened, nobody noticed the brief stillness.
Fang Lin was still laughing, standing there, scornfully watching Ling Zhongtian.
Ling Zhongtian, however, was bewildered. He did not remember the scene he had just witnessed, but a voice in his heart kept echoing.
“Ridiculous,” Fang Lin said and Ling Zhongtian felt as though he had been heavily struck, the voice Fang Lin uttered was the same as the one echoing within his heart.
Thump!
Ling Zhongtian coughed up blood and fell unconscious. His face was pale and his limbs convulsing, it was a shocking sight.
“Quick! Save him!”

“What happened?”
“Why did he suddenly spit blood?”
····
Everyone immediately rushed to transport Ling Zhongtian out of the venue. Those who remained were bewildered. Ling Zhongtian began to cough up blood in the middle of all this. Could it be that Ling Zhongtian had been nursing some hidden injuries that decided to act up?
However, Ling Zhongtian’s sudden bout of coughing up blood brought joy to Zhu Yuntao, Shen Xue Jian, and Mo Yun. If Ling Zhongtian died from coughing up blood, it meant one less competitor for them in three months’ time.
Fang Lin softly chuckled again and sat down with poise. No one bothered about him anymore.
However, only Fang Lin knew why Ling Zhongtian suddenly spat out blood; it was all due to his own doing.
Even if Ling Zhongtian had the audacity to mention the Pill Sovereign, he still offended the dignity of the Pill Sovereign. Especially when a true Pill Sovereign was present, even if it was merely the Soul of the Pill Sovereign, it still embodied the true Pill Sovereign, someone who must not be blasphemed or offended.
Ling Zhongtian saw the Pill Sovereign as an end goal, which indeed conveyed great ambition, but he committed a taboo, bringing about divine punishment.
