Chapter 519: Chapter 519: Chen Yongnian’s Request
“The winner of this Alchemy Tao competition– Fang Lin.” Chen Yongnian looked around at everyone, and spoke.
As soon as his words fell, all the Pill Refiners of the Xuan Country Pill Alliance present all looked bewildered, not understanding what had occurred for a moment.
Zhou Zhishui was the first to react. Her beautiful face was filled with disbelief, expressing incredulity.
The other three talents also had gloomy expressions, their eyes filled with darkness. They hadn’t expected to lose, let alone lose to Fang Lin, who was previously paid the least attention to.
As for the other Pill Refiners, they were all dumbfounded, utterly surprised by this outcome.
All the people present, probably none of them had imagined before the start of this competition that Fang Lin could win this victory.
This is simply too unbelievable!
“Elder Chen, I want to take a look at Fang Lin’s pills!” Zhou Zhishui said. And not just her, the other three talents also had the same thought.
They didn’t want to believe that they had failed, and they didn’t want to concede defeat, so they wanted to see Fang Lin’s Purple Mystery Pill.
Chen Yongnian didn’t refuse. With a wave of his hand, the Eight-Patterned Purple Pill with eight blue patterns flew over to Zhou Zhishui.
Zhou Zhishui fixed her gaze on it, and instantly turned pale. She gently bit her lip, speechless.
The other three talents rushed over to take a look, and they were also dumbfounded.
Eight blue lines, two more than their own Purple Mystery Pills. If they still didn’t win, it would cover up heaven’s fairness.
Just like that, Zhou Zhishui and the three talents acknowledge their defeat both in heart and deed. Although it was hard for them to accept, they had to in front of the Eight-Patterned Purple Pill.
Right now, Zhou Zhishui and the others all looked at Fang Lin.
“You won,” Zhou Zhishui spoke. God knows how difficult it was for her, a proud woman, to admit her defeat.
Fang Lin gave a slight smile: “You have been kind.”
Kindness? Zhou Zhishui and the others really wanted to give a bitter smile. They hadn’t intended to be kind at all. They had done their best, but they had still lost.
“Fang Lin, where did you learn your Spirit Invocation Skill from?” Chen Yongnian asked at this time.
This was a question that many people present wanted to ask, one that had been on their minds for a long time.
Fang Lin answered calmly, “An elder passed this skill on to me, including Shaking Three Mountains and some other ancient skills.”
At these words, the crowd showed a surprised and suspicious expression, and Chen Yongnian and some other high-ranking individuals frowned.
Fang Lin’s words were too vague. Who knew whether they were true or false? It was impossible for them to believe it just because he claimed that some elder had taught him.
“Humph, you’re talking nonsense. You clearly learned the Spirit Invocation Skill of the Xuan Country Pill Alliance by stealing!” Qi Sanxuan shouted angrily. He was determined to smear Fang Lin with crimes.
Fang Lin looked at Qi Sanxuan indifferently, with a touch of scorn at the corner of his mouth, and said, “Elder Qi, you keep saying that I stole your Spirit Invocation Skill. But the Spirit Invocation Skill of your Xuan Country Pill Alliance is clearly incomplete, while I can display a complete Spirit Invocation Skill. Are you saying that I stole it? This is simply too ridiculous.”
Upon hearing these words, many people reacted.
“Fang Lin seems to have a point.”
“His Spirit Invocation Skill is indeed more perfect than Zhou Zhishui’s.”
“Could there really be an elder who taught him a complete Spirit Invocation Skill?”
····
There was a lot of discussion among the crowd. Some people felt that Fang Lin did not learn by stealing. After all, the Pavilion of Hidden Books, a vital place, was not accessible to anyone.
Furthermore, no matter how you looked at it, Fang Lin’s Spirit Invocation Skill was more perfect than Zhou Zhishui’s. But the Pavilion of Hidden Books of the Pill Alliance clearly only had a part of the damaged Pill Scripture, which did not contain a complete Spirit Invocation Skill.
Could it be that Fang Lin stole the Spirit Invocation Skill from the Pavilion of Hidden Books and then perfected it himself?
Anyone wouldn’t believe it if it were put out there. Completing the Spirit Invocation Skill himself? Unless Fang Lin is a great powerful being from the Ancient Pill Tao, otherwise, he isn’t capable at all.
Qi Sanxuan was so refuted by Fang Lin that his face looked terrible. He roared, “In any case, you are suspected of stealing. You must be detained and carefully interrogated!”
Seeing that Qi Sanxuan wanted to continue to target him, Fang Lin felt very angry. He snorted coldly, “Hehe, elder Qi, you really have a big aura. I just don’t know what your true intentions are in targeting me constantly.”
“As an elder of the Pill Alliance, I naturally need to root out all those who do not follow the rules!” Qi Sanxuan said righteously, looking utterly righteous.
“Elder Qi, say no more,” Chen Yongnian couldn’t stand it any longer. He shot a glance at Qi Sanxuan, a color of displeasure on his face.
In Chen Yongnian’s heart, Qi Sanxuan truly thought that they were fools? It was clear that you wanted to vent your private hatred and suppress Fang Lin by taking advantage of the situation. Who couldn’t see that?
Moreover, it wasn’t Qi Sanxuan’s turn to give orders in the Xuan Country Pill Alliance, as Chen Yongnian was still present.
Qi Sanxuan, upon hearing Chen Yongnian’s words, showed a rather embarrassed expression, hatred flashing in his eyes.
Chen Yongnian looked at Fang Lin. His tone was still somewhat gentle as he said, “I believe your words, but I have a request.”
Fang Lin had a vague idea what Chen Yongnian was going to say.
“Please speak, Elder Chen,” Fang Lin said calmly.
Chen Yongnian muttered with a sincere expression, “The Spirit Invocation Skill of our Xuan Country Pill Alliance is incomplete. I hope you can complete it. But rest assured, I will not force you to do so. You can refuse if you want. But if you agree, in addition to the Domination Pill, I will offer you more benefits.”
On hearing these words, the other elders were all nodding their heads, looking at Fang Lin with anticipatory expressions.
If they can make the Spirit Invocation Skill of the Xuan Country Pill Alliance complete, it would allow more talented Pill Refiners to learn this Spirit Invocation Skill, which would strengthen the power of the Xuan Country Pill Alliance.
For example, Zhou Zhishui’s Spirit Invocation Skill was incomplete. Although it seemed very powerful, compared with Fang Lin’s perfect Spirit Invocation Skill, there was a huge gap.
“As long as you can complete the Spirit Invocation Skill, you can become a benefactor of our Xuan Country Pill Alliance. I promise I will not treat you badly,” Chen Yongnian pledged wholeheartedly.
Fang Lin pretended to hesitate, then said, “Alright, as long as it is within my power, I am willing to.”
Hearing these words, Chen Yongnian, and the other elders were all overjoyed, except for Qi Sanxuan who was seething.
Thus, he wouldn’t have a chance to target Fang Lin anymore. Once Fang Lin completed the Spirit Invocation Skill, he would have made a great contribution to the Pill Alliance, and he would have no excuse or reason to target Fang Lin. Furthermore, if he took any action, he would even face dissatisfaction from Chen Yongnian and the other elders.
“However, I have a little condition,” Fang Lin suddenly said.
