The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron-Chapter 793 - : Past Events of the Pill Alliance

Chapter 793: Chapter 793: Past Events of the Pill Alliance

Take Dugu Nian to the Ancient Alchemy Prohibited Area?

Fang Lin had no such intention. After all, he was not clear about what exactly was inside the Ancient Alchemy Prohibited Area. Bringing Dugu Nian along, not to mention whether it would be against the rules, could end up being a burden if they encountered any danger.

“I think it would be better for you to stay at the North Town Hall,” Fang Lin stated.

Dugu Nian grew even more disgruntled. “Why? Are you afraid I’ll be a burden to you?”

Fang Lin grunted in agreement, nodding his head without taking any effort to disguise his sentiment.

Dugu Nian was stunned. Was this guy serious? Couldn’t he be a little more tactful in his response?

...

Although she knew Fang Lin was not one to adhere to norms, Dugu Nian still felt rather helpless.

Feeling he may have been too blunt, Fang Lin scratched his nose, saying, “Actually, it’s not so much you would be a burden. It’s just that you could get in the way.”

Dugu Nian: “…”

…

Finding no other solution, Fang Lin decided to converse with Ye Mengxian, his current master and the Hall Master of the North Town Hall.

Fang Lin wanted to inquire about the Ancient Alchemy Prohibited Area and then consider if he should take Dugu Nian along.

Ye Mengxian told Fang Lin everything she knew, advising him that while the dangers in the Ancient Alchemy Prohibited Area were relatively few, dangers still existed, since it was an ancient place where unforeseen incidents often occurred.

Fang Lin naturally took her words to heart, particularly remembering the specific dangerous locations Ye Mengxian mentioned.

When anyone from the hall entered the Ancient Alchemy Prohibited Area, it could only be a Direct Disciple of the Hall Master.

Other people were not permitted into the Ancient Alchemy Prohibited Area, and anyone found violating this rule would be immediately expelled and heavily punished.

As the Hall Master of North Town Hall, Ye Mengxian had also entered the Ancient Alchemy Prohibited Area before her succession and obtained some gain within.

Thus, she was quite familiar with it, but even when she entered the Ancient Alchemy Prohibited Area in her younger years, there were many places she had not explored.

After speaking with Ye Mengxian, Fang Lin felt a genuine sense of relief.

“Fang Lin, before you head to the Ancient Alchemy Prohibited Area, you can go to the Pavilion of Hidden Books and browse through some classic works,” Ye Mengxian advised him, with an undertone that seemed to suggest something.

Fang Lin contemplated for a moment before nodding in agreement and excused himself.

Upon returning to his dwelling, Fang Lin informed Dugu Nian that he could take her with him, but she could not leave the Supreme Saint Hall. She had to stay inside the Supreme Saint Hall for the entire journey.

Dugu Nian had no objections. After all, for her, going to the Ancient Alchemy Prohibited Area was not the most important thing. She simply wanted to accompany Fang Lin.

After settling Dugu Nian’s situation, Fang Lin went to the Pavilion of Hidden Books as per Ye Mengxian’s instructions.

The Pavilion of Hidden Books at the North Town Hall was much larger than that of the Pill Alliance in Xuan Country, with the space of three halls utilized for housing various books on Alchemy Tao.

Within all of North Town Hall, only Hall Master Ye Mengxian and Fang Lin, her Direct Disciple, could freely come and go from the Pavilion of Hidden Books.

Others who wished to enter needed Ye Mengxian’s consent.

The Pavilion of Hidden Books had a faint musty smell, seemingly due to the store of numerous ancient manuscripts and the enclosed environment. Thus, a smell of decay lingered all year round.

Fang Lin took a deep inhale of this fragrance and seemed to take pleasure in it.

He randomly picked up a book, flipped through it a bit before returning it to its original place.

Most of the books did not interest Fang Lin, only the ancient texts and scrolls piqued his interest.

After going through several ancient scrolls, Fang Lin frowned, sensing Ye Mengxian’s intent.

These so-called ancient scrolls were merely relics from a thousand years ago, many of them providing information about the Poison Pill Master.

Fang Lin held a strong dislike and aversion to the Poison Pill Master. While he also used poison, he only did so against enemies. But the usage of poison by Poison Pill Masters was unscrupulous, employing poison to slaughter the living.

And yet, the Poison Pill Masters had become part of the Pill Alliance, brazenly identifying themselves as Pill Refiners.

Fang Lin found it hard to understand why the Pill Alliance would incorporate the Poison Pill Masters, could it be because of the passage of time, the Pill Refiners of this era were so accepting of the Poison Pill Masters?

However, in Fang Lin’s journey so far, he met many Pill Refiners who despised the Poison Pill Masters. Even though the Pill Alliance had accepted the Poison Pill Masters, they were still seen as outcasts and an unwelcome group among many Pill Refiners.

Within the North Town Hall, there were also Poison Pill Masters. They were quite unique, not interacting with others, and appeared quite aloof.

In fact, they were ostracized by the other people in the North Town Hall, their aloof behavior further intensifying this state of affairs. But these Poison Pill Masters did not care, acting arrogantly within the North Town Hall, even Ye Mengxian turned a blind eye to their actions.

After reading these records, Fang Lin finally understood why the Pill Alliance accepted the Poison Pill Masters. The reason was surprisingly complex.

The Pill Alliance, established for thousands of years, held steady within the Nine Countries Seven Seas and was the most formidable force with a history comparable to the Hidden Kill Hall.

Initially, the Pill Alliance rejected Poison Pill Masters. However, the Pill Alliance underwent a drastic change that threatened its existence.

At that time, the Four Heaven Kings had not yet risen to power, but the Poison Pill Masters entered the Pill Alliance through special means and helped the supreme ruler of the Pill Alliance at the time to resolve the crisis.

As a result, the Poison Pill Masters naturally became part of the Pill Alliance. By the time the Four Heaven Kings rose to power and the Eight Great Elders formed the circle of elders, the Poison Pill Masters had already become deeply entrenched in the Pill Alliance.

One of the Four Heaven Kings even favored the Poison Pill Masters, which further facilitated their development and growth in the Pill Alliance.

Up until now, the Poison Pill Masters had substantial strength within the Pill Alliance. Many people wanted to act against these Poison Pill Masters, but the Heaven King’s stance clearly stated otherwise, leaving no opportunity or daring to challenge.

Presently, the Four Heaven Kings had virtually relinquished control of the Pill Alliance. Out of the Eight Great Elders, at least three had close ties to the Poison Pill Masters.

As a result, the position and power of the Poison Pill Masters within the Pill Alliance grew even more formidable. Unless the other elders joined forces, there was no way to deal with these Poison Pill Masters, who were as resilient as parasites.

“It turns out that the problems of the Pill Alliance started from its core”, Fang Lin thought to himself after reading the ancient books about the history of the Pill Alliance.
