The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 526: Chapter 526: Gong Sun Mo

Fang Lin’s face was slightly pale. It was one thing to repel a Heavenly Origin expert previously with the power of Counterattack, but this time, it was his own real ability conflicting head-on with another Heavenly Origin expert.

“Indeed, Heavenly Origin powerhouses are too formidable, even in a one-on-one fight, it’s difficult to achieve victory,” Fang Lin muttered to himself.

If anyone knew Fang Lin’s current thoughts, they would find it hard to stay calm. “You are already a Ninth Layer Earth Element martial artist, yet you can already conflict head-on with a Heavenly Origin power. Will other Earth Element martial artists still have a chance?”

In reality, those six middle-aged men all displayed the strength of the first layer of the Heavenly Origin realm. Fang Lin’s strength had greatly increased recently, which was why he could clash with them.

Of course, he could only compete one-on-one. If those six men disregarded their dignity and attacked him together, Fang Lin would surely be suppressed unless he had three heads and six arms.

Even so, Fang Lin could still be proud of his battle achievements. Among his peers, there were not many who could rival Heavenly Origin powerhouses at the Earth Element realm.

“My goodness! What am I seeing? Someone has repelled a Heavenly Origin expert from our clan?”

“Not just one, but two!”

“Who the hell is this guy? Why is he so terrifying?”

“No one in the Gongsun Family can even be compared to him.”

····

Everyone around was also in a heated discussion, exclaiming in shock and disbelief.

Gongsun Xiao’s mouth was agape, he wished he could give a wry smile. Fang Lin’s performance was too brilliant, it was simply unimaginable. To clash head-on with Heavenly Origin at Earth Element realm. Was he trying to compete with the few monstrous talents at the top of Xuan Country?

Gongsun Long, who was thrown aside by Fang Lin, lay motionless on the ground with his eyes closed, as if he had fainted.

In fact, he hadn’t fainted and had witnessed Fang Lin successively repel two first-level Heavenly Origin martial artists. Feeling extremely horrified, he quickly pretended to faint.

Gongsun Long was deeply regretful. What kind of terrifying entity had he provoked? The Earth Element Realm was now able to confront the Heavenly Origin Realm directly.

However, upon further thought, although he was defeated by Fang Lin, the two Heavenly Origin experts in his family did not take advantage of Fang Lin. In this case, it didn’t seem like he had lost face.

“Do you wish to continue? Or shall all of you Heavenly Origin experts gang up to suppress me, a young Earth Element martial artist?” Fang Lin said half-jokingly, with a mockingly expression.

The middle-aged man whose arm was severed by Fang Lin had a face full of resentment, while the expression of others was extremely ugly. The light was gone out of their faces.

Although they held low status in the family, they were still first layer Heavenly Origin martial artists. Now they couldn’t even deal with one Earth Element martial artist. Instead, two of them were defeated by him. If this news became public, they would have lost all their dignity.

“No matter what, this kid is strangely powerful, we better suppress him with all our powers!” After a mutual glance, the men decided to temporarily cast aside their dignity and attacked simultaneously.

Just then, an elderly man with dignified appearance stepped out, fiercely glaring at the six men.

The six men were taken aback at his appearance and lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.

Upon seeing the elderly man, Gongsun Xiao quickly revealed a happy expression and greeted, “Sir Wu, you are here.”

This elderly man, referred to as Sir Wu by Gongsun Xiao, was a senior leader of the Gongsun Family as well as one of the leading alchemy masters in the family who held a very high status.

After all, the Gongsun Family did not have many Pill Refiners, and Sir Wu was regarded by the entire Gongsun Family as a treasure.

The old man named Gong Sun Mo, although very old, was in high spirits and did not appear old in the least. With bright eyes and white hair, he had a transcendent and otherworldly charm.

Gongsun Mo glanced at Gongsun Long pretending to be dead, and then at the six middle-aged men. His gaze finally fell on Fang Lin.

Fang Lin immediately bowed deeply to Gongsun Mo, “Greetings, senior.”

Gongsun Mo looked up and down at Fang Lin, then showed a slight smile, “Very good, very good, superior ability in the practice of martial arts and alchemy.”

Afterwards, Gongsun Mo barked angrily at the six men, “What the hell are you all doing? Are you trying to throw away all the faces of my Gongsun Family? Leave now!”

The six men were so ashamed that they could hardly endure it, but they did not dare to argue at all. Gongsun Mo’s status was one they had to look up to. They left one by one, feeling dejected.

Gongsun Long was lying motionless not far away, feeling extremely awkward, he simply did not know how to end this.

“Gongsun Long, you’ve feigned death long enough, it’s time to leave. For the next five years, you are not allowed to return to Xuan City,” said Gongsun Mo calmly, not even looking at him.

Gongsun Long’s expression twitched, and he finally could not pretend anymore. He got up covered in dust with a pained expression, as if his bones were falling apart.

Although Gongsun Long was pretending to faint, his injuries were indeed real. After all, he had been beaten so many times by Fang Lin. If it weren’t for his resilience, he would have been smashed into unconsciousness.

“Master Wu, Fang Lin is causing trouble in our Gongsun mansion, why don’t you punish him? I did nothing wrong!” Gongsun Long argued indignantly.

Gongsun Mo glanced at him impatiently and said, “Fang Lin is the guest whom I invited. Yet you were disrespectful to him. Were it not for your grandfather’s sake, I would have broken your legs today. Now scram!”

Gongsun Long looked resentful, he stared at Fang Lin bitterly, but eventually did not dare to defy the formidable Master Wu. He left the mansion with his followers in a limping fashion.

The situation had calmed down and the people of the Gongsun Family dispersed one after another. However, Fang Lin still remained the topic of their discussions.

“Thank you, senior for helping me out.” Fang Lin bounced his fist in Gongsun Mo’s direction as a sign of respect, his attitude was completely different.

Gongsun Mo laughed and nodded, “Indeed, it is I who should be apologizing to you. I’m sorry for the trouble caused by some people from my Gongsun Family.”

Gongsun Xiao twitched at the corner of his mouth upon hearing this. It didn’t seem like Fang Lin was wronged in any way, on the contrary, he had blown his own trumpet.

Fang Lin smiled slightly, “That’s in the past, I didn’t hold it against them. However, I wonder why senior invited me.”

Speaking of business, Gongsun Mo pulled himself together and led Fang Lin and Gongsun Xiao to his usual Pill Refining Room.

Gongsun Xiao had only made it this far thanks to Fang Lin. He had been in Xuan City for a long time but had never once entered Gongsun Mo’s Pill Refining Room.

Gongsun Mo valued his Pill Refining Room greatly and didn’t usually allow others to enter.

Upon entering the Pill Refining Room, they saw many medicinal materials piled up and three different pillars arranged, the ground seemed a bit disorderly.

Gongsun Xiao looked around in interest, while Fang Lin noticed several pills on a wooden table at a glance.
