Chapter 433: Chapter 433: Acquiring the Nine Treasure Luminous Cauldron

This was an earth-yellow ball, seemingly made from some sort of animal skin. It was the size of a fist, very elastic, and felt good to the touch.

“What sort of item is this?” Fang Lin played with interest with the ball, but couldn’t figure out its use.

Without further ado, Fang Lin tried to infuse his Inner Strength into the ball, and suddenly it ballooned, wrapping Fang Lin within it.

The space within the ball was small, but still allowed for Fang Lin to turn around, and there were no blind spots anywhere, it was completely sealed off.

Fang Lin was somewhat dumbstruck, how was he supposed to get out of this ball now?

“Open up!” Fang Lin repeatedly struck the inside of the ball, but it had no effect.

Just as Fang Lin was starting to get anxious, the ball suddenly returned to its original state, releasing him.

With uncertainty, Fang Lin thought, is this how the ball is supposed to be used?

Driven by curiosity, Fang Lin tried once more, infusing his Inner Strength into it. Sure enough, the ball expanded again, enclosing him within.

As his Inner Strength dissipated, the ball returned to its initial state, releasing him again.

After three or four such attempts, Fang Lin began to understand. This seems to be some sort of defensive magical object.

Fang Lin put the ball down on the ground, then mustered all his strength and gave the ball a solid punch.

This punch, even a thousand pound boulder would be shattered in front of Fang Lin.

However, when this punch landed on the strange ball, it had absolutely no effect. Fang Lin was acutely aware that this ball had perfectly deflected his force.

“Such a treasure!” After figuring out the purpose of this ball, Fang Lin was overjoyed. This thing could play a great role in the defense against opponents. Although it took some control at the beginning, he would become proficient with more use.

“Who would have thought that Gu Daofeng had such an interesting treasure? It’s a pity that he was killed before he even had the chance to use it.” Fang Lin sighed inwardly.

Gu Daofeng was indeed unlucky. If he could have used the ball in time, perhaps he could have saved his own life and not suffered a brutal death at the hands of the Demon Saint.

Other than this ball, there were still a lot of good things within Gu Daofeng’s Nine Palace Bag, such as Pills, medicinal materials, and one item that thrilled Fang Lin greatly.

The Nine Treasure Luminous Cauldron!!!

The treasure of the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect, during the first trials against the Pill Sect, under the coercion of Gu Daofeng, the sect leader of the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect reluctantly gave the Nine Treasure Luminous Cauldron to Gu Daofeng.

This cauldron had always been in Gu Daofeng’s possession, and now that Gu Daofeng was dead, the Nine Treasure Luminous Cauldron had fallen into Fang Lin’s hand.

Fang Lin could barely contain his excitement, this Nine Treasure Luminous Cauldron was something he had coveted for a long time, a real treasure cauldron that was coveted but not sought.

Although there were many Pill Furnaces on Fang Lin, in terms of value, none of these Pill Furnaces could compare with the Nine Treasure Luminous Cauldron.

Fang Lin caressed the Nine Treasure Luminous Cauldron. This dazzlingly luminous Pill Furnace, just looking at it was enough to make him feel good, let alone using it to refine pills, it was simply a kind of enjoyment.

“Gu Daofeng, Gu Daofeng, you really did one good thing, you carried this Pill Furnace thousands of miles to give it to me, you are really a good guy.” Fang Lin couldn’t help but sigh.

Of course, this Nine Treasure Luminous Cauldron as well as the other objects inside Gu Daofeng’s Nine Palace Bag, are all things that should not be exposed, Fang Lin didn’t tell anyone about Gu Daofeng’s death. If these things were to be exposed, they could easily arouse suspicion.

So, until he had absolutely enough strength, Fang Lin needed to hide these items well, particularly from the higher-ups in the Purple Mist Sect. After all, some of them had a high regard for Gu Daofeng.

Especially that Elder Jin, who was Gu Daofeng’s master and had been very unhappy with Fang Lin. If that guy found out that Gu Daofeng’s death was related to him, he would definitely want to deal with Fang Lin.

Of course, he couldn’t expose these items, but there was no harm in using them secretly. After all, this Nine Treasure Luminous Cauldron was now his.

Additionally, Fang Lin found several special Message Transmitting Jade Slips, all bearing mysterious marks and hidden in the deepest part of Gu Daofeng’s Nine Palace Bag.

These Jade Slips, Fang Lin figured, were likely Gu Daofeng’s means of communication with the Hidden Kill Hall.

Without hesitation, Fang Lin destroyed all of these Jade Slips. Who knows what other functions these Jade Slips might serve. Holding onto them only posed a risk.

After taking inventory, Fang Lin felt like he had hit the jackpot, giddy with the amount of gains he had made. He was so happy that he was likely to wake from his dreams with a smile.

The next day came, and Fang Lin ended his night of cultivation just as someone came to visit. It was none other than Qing Jianzi.

When Fang Lin saw Qing Jianzi, he was taken aback. Qing Jianzi had clearly broken through, his aura was refined, and he stood there like a sharp sword about to be unsheathed, inspiring awe in those who beheld him.

Just like Fang Lin, Qing Jianzi’s bitter training had resulted in a deeper comprehension of his own Sword Tao, having reached the level of Earth Element’s ninth layer.

Qing Jianzi’s visit was not just to see Fang Lin. He was also itching to test his skills in a duel with Fang Lin.

Fang Lin knew that Qing Jianzi was a battle maniac, and therefore did not refuse. So the two of them went to the Martial Arts Platform.

The Martial Arts Platform is one of the busiest places in the Purple Mist Sect and many disciples who have grudges or debts to settle would do so at the Martial Arts Platform.

At this moment, the arrival of Fang Lin and Qing Jianzi filled the Martial Arts Platform to the brim. Almost all disciples from the Pill Sect and Martial Sect were there, eager to witness the battle between the two geniuses.

“Go Qing Jianzi!”

“Go Fang!”

“Qing Jianzi will definitely win!”

…

Disciples all around the Martial Arts Platform shouted in encouragement. The Martial Sect disciples cheered for Qing Jianzi, whereas the Pill Sect disciples cheered for Fang Lin.

Moreover, quite a few elders had come upon hearing the news, not wanting to miss this rare duel.

Xing Tianxiao, the Sect Leader of the Martial Sect, also came, bringing a group of Martial Sect elders. It was indeed grand.

Han Yinyue also showed up. Even though she was alone, she was still respected by everyone.

Both Fang Lin and Qing Jianzi hadn’t expected that their friendly sparring match would create such a disturbance, leaving them somewhat taken aback.

“Fang Lin, this time I’ll go all out. If you’re thinking of holding back, you’re in for an ugly defeat.” Qing Jianzi said with a smile.

Fang Lin also replied with a smile, “I certainly won’t hold back. But I hope you’ll go easy on me, Brother Qing Jianzi. After all, it would be hard for me to save face with so many people watching.”
