“If I lose, I’ll go and guard the door at your Ten-thousand Medicine Sect,” Fang Lin casually suggested.

This time, the hearts of everyone from the Purple Mist Sect jumped. Everyone tried to dissuade him, even Han Luoyun gave Fang Lin a sideways glance.

If he won, it would be fine. But if he lost, the consequences would be severe.

If the proud True Disciple of the Purple Mist Sect, apprentices of Han Luoyun, were to be reduced to doorkeepers for the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect, everyone in the Qian Country would laugh their heads off, and the reputation of the Purple Mist Sect would be completely tarnished.

“Hmph, this is ridiculous; you’re not just representing yourself but the entire Purple Mist Sect. You can’t be this frivolous,” Elder Jin immediately seized the opportunity to rebuke.

This time, few people found Elder Jin’s remarks excessive, because they also believed that this matter should be considered with caution. After all, if Fang Lin lost, it would not only be his reputation at stake but the entire Purple Mist Sect’s, completely and utterly. In the future, anyone talking about the Purple Mist Sect might mention that the Sect Master’s disciple once guarded the gates of the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect.

“Fang Lin, consider carefully.”

“That’s right, I don’t think this is appropriate.”

“Even if you’re confident, this wager is a bit too much.”

Many people tried to persuade him, they had no hidden agenda; they just did not want Fang Lin’s loss to make the entire Purple Mist Sect the butt of a joke.

Fang Lin waved his hand, saying, “Don’t worry, I won’t be the one guarding the gate.”

At this, Fu Haixin’s anger flared up. If you’re not going to be the one guarding the gate, will it be me? I wonder how you’re going to refine your contrived Soul Nourishment Pill.

The people from the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect smirked coldly. In their view, Fang Lin had been backed into a corner, forcing him to brazen it out.

“In my opinion, should Fang Lin fail, he should be stripped of all his present identities. This would prevent the Purple Mist sect from losing face,” Elder Jin added fuel to the fire.

“Silence!” Han Luoyun suddenly shouted.

Elder Jin immediately shut up, dropping his head in silence, not daring to utter another word.

Everyone could tell that Han Luoyun was genuinely angered. If Elder Jin said even half a word more, Han Luoyun would probably punish him.

“Fang Lin, just do it. No matter what, you are the pride of our Purple Mist Sect,” Han Luoyun said calmly, bestowing great trust upon Fang Lin.

Seeing this, the other high-ranking members of the Purple Mist Sect also nodded. Since Han Luoyun had already made his position clear, they had no reason to further critique Fang Lin; it was enough to give him their trust.

“Let’s begin,” said Fang Lin. Someone had already prepared all the necessary herbs as listed on the two pill formulas.

Fang Lin walked up to a pill furnace, gave it an appraising look, and then dragged over another pill furnace and placed it in front of himself.

This baffled everyone, what was he trying to do? Why did he place two pill furnaces in front of him?

“Hmph, acting mysterious,” Fu Haixin sneered.

Carefully laying his hands on the two furnaces, Fang Lin grinned at Fu Haixin, “I wonder if Miss Fu understands dual-tasking?”

Upon hearing his words, Fu Haixin faltered, then her face exhibited shock.

“Dual-tasking? Could he be attempting to refine the Controlling People Pill and the Soul Nourishment Pill simultaneously? Is that even possible?”

Fu Haixin refused to believe it; logic told her Fang Lin was simply trying to bluff, there must be some trickery at hand.

Amid everyone’s stunned gaze, Fang Lin’s hands rose and swiftly came crashing down.

Thump! Thump!

With two muffled noises, flames sprang up beneath both pill furnaces.

“What is he trying to do?”

“Fire two pill furnaces at the same time?”

“Dual-tasking? Oh my god!”

People from both the Purple Mist Sect and the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect were dumbfounded, even the calmest among them couldn’t keep their cool.

Dual-tasking!

Fang Lin was actually attempting to execute the dual-tasking technique to simultaneously refine two distinct types of pills. This was unimaginable and terrifying.

“Not necessarily. It’s not necessarily dual-tasking; he just started the fire, he hasn’t started refining the pills yet.” Someone broke the silence, remaining rational. Dual-tasking was indeed an extremely difficult skill; it was absurd to think that someone of Fang Lin’s level could achieve it.

Gud Daofeng and Elder Jin, who stood at a distance, also looked on with narrowed eyes. However, they too believed that Fang Lin couldn’t possibly dual-task.

A moment later, as the pill furnaces heated up, Fang Lin sprang into action. His hands moved like phantoms, continuously tossing various herbs into the furnaces.

Indeed, one hand for each furnace, separately tossing herbs into each of the two furnaces.

At this point, everyone was stunned; it was most definitely the dual-tasking technique.

“That’s impossible! Absolutely impossible!” Fu Haixin was enormously shocked, her face devoid of the traces of contempt and mockery that danced there earlier. Deep horror had taken their place.

No one could remain calm, even Han Luoyun looked surprised at this point.

The Ten-thousand Medicine Sect disciples pulled expressions of shock, their faces a sight to behold.

Gong Wuliang nearly bit his tongue, his old face filled with disbelief.

Fang Lin kept tossing herbs into the furnaces, without the slightest pause, his face relaxed throughout.

But as a Pill Refiner, Fu Haixin understood just how strenuous dual-tasking was for a refiner’s mental energy. Even she had never dared to attempt it.

Even her master at the Pill Alliance in Ling Country had once said, without absolute talent and confidence, one should not attempt dual-tasking.

But Fang Lin, he could actually dual-task.

Dual-tasking was indeed no big deal for Fang Lin. After all, he had been a Pill Sovereign in his previous life, and dual-tasking was no more than a beginner’s trick to him.

But to others, Fang Lin probably seemed godly.

Once all the herbs were in the furnaces, Fang Lin didn’t immediately cover them. Instead, he conjured a ball of flame in each hand.

In his left hand, the blue Fire of the Extreme Sea flickered!

In his right hand, the red Beast Flame simmered and sparkled!

This sight once again shocked Fu Haixin, causing the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect disciples to feel their heads spin.

Two types of Soul Commanding Pill Fire!!!

Fu Haixin started doubting her sanity. Was this Fang Lin sent by the heavens to thwart her? His dual-tasking was bad enough, now he miraculously possessed two types of Soul Commanding Pill Fire. This was just infuriating.

The members of the Purple Mist Sect, however, weren’t surprised because they had witnessed Fang Lin absorbing the second type of Soul Commanding Pill Fire.

With two types of Soul Commanding Pill Fire in his hands, there was no doubt Fang Lin was continuing with his dual-tasking, using these two fires to refine two different types of pills simultaneously.

Possessing two types of Soul Commanding Pill Fire, was Fang Lin’s biggest advantage!
