The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron-Chapter 679 - - Parting Ways

Chapter 679 -679: Parting Ways

Fang Lin took the golden-haired puppy out of the beast bag, and without hesitation, threw the demon bone in his hand to it.

The golden-haired puppy, just awakened, seemed to be a bit upset with Fang Lin for suddenly picking it up. But upon seeing a demon bone within reach, it immediately clung onto it joyfully.

Woof, woof!

The golden-haired puppy let out two happy barks, licking Fang Lin with its moist tongue, as if to win Fang Lin’s favor.

Then, to everyone’s surprise, the golden-haired puppy started chewing the demon bone.

Crunching sounds filled the air with bone fragments flying everywhere. The golden-haired puppy’s teeth were excellent, capable of gnawing off even the hard demon bone.

“This, this dog is eating a demon bone?” Everyone was bewildered, what in the world was this creature that could even eat demon bones?

As everyone knows, a demon bone is the toughest and hardest bone in a demon beast’s body, especially those from a demon king, which are extraordinarily hard, comparable to divine weapons.

However, this ordinary-looking golden-haired puppy was actually capable of chewing on a demon bone, seemingly relishing every bite.

The faces of Dugu Ruoxu and Chi Yunxiao went pale. It seemed Fang Lin was intentionally provoking them by preferring to feed the demon bone to a puppy rather than giving it to them, showing utter disregard for their feelings.

Although furious, both Chi Yunxiao and Dugu Ruoxu had no way to vent their anger. Seeing as they were the ones who refused to exchange with Fang Lin, they could only watch as he fed this valuable bone to his dog.

“Oh, such a waste. If I had known, I would have brought another treasure to exchange with you.” Wang Erdan expressed his regret.

Fang Lin burst out laughing: “You already have a demon bone. Do you know the saying ‘greed oft o’er reaches itself’?”

“You shouldn’t be feeding it to a dog! You’re a spendthrift.” Wang Erdan shook his head disapprovingly.

Upon hearing this, the members of the Five Elements Sect glanced at Wang Erdan. Who was he to judge others for squandering resources?

Fang Lin gently stroked the puppy’s head: “I’m happy to do so. Even if I had to feed it to pigs, it would amuse me.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Chi Yunxiao and Dugu Ruoxu. It was as if he was purposely trying to tease them.

“Humph!” Chi Yunxiao snorted, his eyes filled with gloom. Seeing that Wang Erdan and Mei Yingxue had gotten their demon bones but he hadn’t, he was naturally very unbalanced.

Dugu Ruoxu felt the same way. Although frustrated, they didn’t think too much of the demon bones. After all, if they needed them, getting them wouldn’t be a problem given their backing.

What they couldn’t stand was Fang Lin’s smug attitude which made them feel uncomfortable.

“If so, we will take our leave now.” Chi Yunxiao coldly said, then turned away with the people from the Shenxiao Sect without uttering another word to anyone else.

Dugu Ruoxu glanced at Dugu Nian and said, “Nian Nian, come with us.”

Dugu Nian was a bit hesitant as she didn’t want to leave with the people of the Dugu Family.

Seeing this, Dugu Ruoxu’s expression turned even colder. Without saying another word, he left with the people from the Dugu Family.

With their departure, nearly half of the people were gone. Only the people from the Five Elements Sect and Heavenly Fragrance Valley remained, along with Fang Lin and his party.

“Sigh, it’s a pity we had to split up here. Who knows what kind of dangers await us?” Fang Lin remarked, shaking his head.

By now, the golden-haired puppy had finished devouring the demon bone and was burping contentedly. Its eyes were half-closed, and it appeared ready to sleep again.

“You sleep after you eat and eat after you sleep. Are you a dog or a pig?” Fang Lin complained, but still put the golden-haired puppy back into the beast bag.

“This place is fairly safe. We can stay here for a while, and decide later whether we need to move somewhere else,” Mei Yingxue suggested.

Everyone agreed with her suggestion. It was safer to stay put as they were near the ancient forest, and although it was home to a demon king, it wouldn’t venture out of the forest. And other demon beasts wouldn’t come to this area. So they decided to stay here for a few days.

Immediately, Mei Yingxue and Wang Erdan started to assimilate the demon bones. They were both supremely confident and didn’t seriously consider the possibility of failing.

Steward Shen and Dugu Nian, on the other hand, were less confident despite also having demon bones.

For this reason, Fang Lin specifically refined a pill that could assist them in merging with the demon bone, increasing the success rate of the process.

With this help, they dared to begin their assimilation of the demon bone.

In a flash, seven days passed.

Mei Yingxue was the first to finish merging. She was in perfect harmony with the demon bone, and her aura had a significant improvement after the merge.

Wang Erdan’s process was not as smooth as Mei Yingxue’s, but his exceptional talent eventually allowed him to successfully merge with the demon bone.

“Hahaha! I finally did it!” Wang Erdan cheered and laughed heartily, seeming to overflow with unspent energy.

A demon bone could clearly enhance a martial artist’s strength, as it provided a shortcut to increased powers.

Although Dugu Nian and Steward Shen took a bit longer to merge, thanks to the pills specially made by Fang Lin, they completed the process without any mishaps.

Dugu Nian was the first to succeed. Her aura greatly surged, and even though her cultivation level didn’t change, her strength was completely different from before the merge.

Steward Shen was the last one to successfully merge, and it seemed he encountered some issues. Because of his advanced age, he didn’t assimilate the demon bone as smoothly as the younger ones.

Nevertheless, he succeeded in the end. With his cultivation at the fifth level of the Heavenly Origin and possessing a spirit eye, added with the power of a demon bone, Steward Shen’s strength was equivalent to a martial artist at the seventh or eighth level of the Heavenly Origin.

After everyone finished merging with their demon bones, Fang Lin found himself at a critical point in his cultivation.

He was absorbing demon cores!

Since entering the Ferocious Mountain, Fang Lin had acquired numerous demon cores, including several from four-transformation stage demon beasts.

Taking advantage of the relative safety, Fang Lin used the pill furnace to refine these demon cores, using the Soul Commanding Pill Flame to completely remove the Demon Qi.

Just this process took him five days.

After five days, Fang Lin officially began absorbing the demon cores for his cultivation.

Using the power of demon cores for cultivation was another shortcut for a martial artist to advance his level, and not everyone could endure it.

“This guy is actually using demon cores for cultivation, is that safe?” Wang Erdan was a little taken aback, looking at the meditating Fang Lin.
