The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 412: Chapter 412: Hundred Flowers Spring

Upon hearing that the Hundred Flowers Spring was here, Fang Lin’s eyes lit up instantly, as though a parched pervert had found an unmatched beauty.

“Where is it? Where is it?” Fang Lin asked hurriedly.

The cloaked elder pointed impatiently in one direction, and Fang Lin immediately flew in that direction.

After a moment, the world before Fang Lin suddenly brightened up; a spring came into his view, the air filled with a faint hint of floral fragrance that was subtly elating.

The spring water shimmered faintly, petals floated on the surface, the lush flowers that surrounded the area made the spring incredibly captivating.

“Indeed, it’s the Hundred Flowers Spring!” Fang Lin praised in his heart. The Hundred Flowers Spring was a rare heavenly resource; an ordinary person bathing in the Hundred Flowers Spring became immune to diseases and pain, and their lifespan would remarkably increase.

And that was just the tip of the iceberg of the Hundred Flowers Spring’s benefits.

When a martial artist bathes in the Hundred Flowers Spring, they can have their body nourished by the mild medicinal properties of the spring, cleansing their inner strength, and solidifying their foundation.

Furthermore, for martial artists looking to break through their current levels, cultivating in the Hundred Flowers Spring greatly improves the chances of success, and failure is seldom seen.

Those who were severely injured could also submerge themselves in the Hundred Flowers Spring, it could save their lives. As long as they weren’t dead, they could be saved.

Simply put, the Hundred Flowers Spring has numerous effects; it brings only benefits, no harms. In Fang Lin’s previous life, the Pill Saint Palace had a Hundred Flowers Spring, and only the core geniuses of the palace had access to cultivating in the spring.

At present, Fang Lin had just broken through to the ninth-layer of Earth Element. Continuous breakthroughs had left his foundation a bit unstable. Now, he would use the Hundred Flowers Spring to perfect his martial base.

Without hesitation, Fang Lin removed his clothes and jumped directly into the Hundred Flowers Spring.

The moment he entered the water, he was greeted with a warm embrace, Fang Lin was so comfortable that he almost let out a groan of satisfaction. It felt like returning to his mother’s arms.

The cloaked elder walked over at this moment and saw Fang Lin soaking contentedly in the Hundred Flowers Spring, making him grimace.

“Old man, why don’t you come in for a bath too?” Fang Lin turned to the cloaked elder and teasingly suggested.

“Hmph!” The cloaked elder snorted and paid no heed to Fang Lin’s teasing. Being the embodiment of the Pill Pole Tower’s will, he had no eligibility to use the Hundred Flowers Spring, nor would the spring be of any use to him.

Fang Lin, immersed in the Hundred Flowers Spring, felt as if his limbs were relaxed and stretched. Both his flesh and blood, as well as his bones and tendons, were being nourished by the Hundred Flowers Spring.

He didn’t waste time, after savoring the comfortable sensation for a while, he began to cultivate.

Time slowly went by.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

Outside the Pill Pole Tower, the pill refiners from Qian Country and Yun Country were still waiting for the appearances of Fang Lin, Zhao Shenkong and others, while the people from Meng Kingdom had already left.

They couldn’t help it; Meng Kingdom didn’t have a single person that had entered the Pill Pole Tower this time. Were they to stay here and continue losing face? Naturally, they left Black Cauldron City early and returned to Meng Kingdom.

“It’s already been over half a month, and they still haven’t come out. It seems they have encountered quite an opportunity.” Zhuge Cang arrived in front of the Pill Pole Tower and commented.

“No matter how great the opportunities are, they are confined to the first layer, it’s uncertain whether they can enter the second layer.” Lu Wuwei said dismissively.

Upon hearing his words, the elder surnamed Yan from Yun Country immediately scoffed, “I believe Zhao Shenkong can enter the second layer.”

Elder Su wasn’t willing to keep quiet and retorted, “If even Zhao Shenkong can enter the second layer, then my granddaughter and Fang Lin should be able to make it to the third layer.”

These two old men were glaring at each other, clearly disliking one another. The genius pill refiners of the two countries were also mutually hostile.

Zhuge Cang and his two companions felt somewhat helpless. Fortunately, the people from Meng Kingdom had left earlier, otherwise the scene would probably be even more fiery.

“Huh? The doors of the Pill Pole Tower are opening!” Suddenly, one person who had been staring at the Pill Pole Tower exclaimed.

Everyone turned to look in response and indeed, the Pill Pole Tower’s doors that had remained closed for so long, were now opening.

Upon witnessing this, everyone’s hearts pounded as they fixed their gazes on the slowly opening doors, curious as to who was the first one to walk out of the Pill Pole Tower.

Soon after, a figure appeared in everyone’s sight, it was Zhao Shenkong, looking grim-faced.

Seeing that it was Zhao Shenkong, the faces of everyone from Yun Country changed, and the elder surnamed Yan looked particularly gloomy.

Being the first one out was not something to be proud of, because the other two were still inside the Pill Pole Tower, perhaps they were still benefiting from greater opportunities inside, as Zhao Shenkong had exited already.

Elder Su revealed a smile, as long as his granddaughter and Fang Lin weren’t the first ones out, everything would be okay.

Zhao Shenkong saw that so many people outside were looking at him, he clenched his fists, he was feeling more frustrated and angry.

He came out first because after comprehending the doctrines of the 17 ancient tablets in the hall, he became stuck on the 18th tablet, unable to make any headway.

Since he couldn’t comprehend the doctrines of 20 tablets, he wasn’t able to use the Wordless Ancient Stele. He had tried everything, and he was on the verge of vomiting blood, yet he had still not succeeded.

His state of mind was in complete chaos, and he was unable to adjust himself back. At this point, comprehending the doctrines of the stone tablets was no longer possible.

Therefore, the will of the Pill Pole Tower directly determined that Zhao Shenkong had come to a halt in his progress. On this day, it expelled him from the Stone Tablet Ancient Hall and asked him to leave the Pill Pole Tower.

Even though Zhao Shenkong was unwilling and resolutely against it, he had no choice, as the Pill Pole Tower had expelled him. He wouldn’t be getting a second chance.

Zhao Shenkong took a deep breath, attempting to appear calm as he walked towards the people of Yun Country.

The elder surnamed Yan could see in one glance that Zhao Shenkong had a disordered aura, he seemed to be injured, and the Nine Palace Bag tied to his waist had disappeared.

“Shenkong, what happened?” the elder surnamed Yan asked in a low voice.

Zhao Shenkong shook his head, refusing to say more, but he glared resentfully at the group from Qian Country.

The elder surnamed Yan seemed to understand that Zhao Shenkong’s mood was extremely bad; he must have encountered something within the Pill Pole Tower. So, he beckoned and quietly led the people of Yun Country away.

Of course, from everyone else’s point of view, seeing the people of Yun Country sneak away without a word meant that Zhao Shenkong had not encountered anything useful in the Pill Pole Tower.

“The lad Fang Lin from Qian Country, and Su Xiaotong, are still inside the Pill Pole Tower.”

“The people of Qian Country are really imposing this time, they have completely surpassed the other two countries.”

“I wonder what kind of chance Fang Lin and Su Xiaotong will get.”

···

Another seven days passed by, the gates of the Pill Pole Tower were once again opening slowly.
