The light vanished as soon as it appeared. It had only taken the span of a few breaths before it faded away, but it shocked the entire alchemy sect once again.

Shen Fu turned ghastly pale. Huge beads of sweat covered his forehead and his heart was filled with recalcitrance and terror. The official disciples that had insulted Fang Lin earlier were muted. They were rendered speechless from the shock of seeing the four saints’ light to the extent that they could not even utter a word. The rest of the official disciples stared at Fang Lin in surprise but envy dominated their aurae.

The two men in black sitting cross-legged on the stone sculptures could not remain neutral anymore at this very moment. Their astonished gazes shot toward Fang Lin. Standing by Fang Lin’s side, Xu Shangao was also rather shocked by this sudden turn of events.

Fang Lin looked at Shen Fu and his supporters in disgust. He said in a loud voice, “Did you see that? I’m the one that gained the favor of the four saints and they heard your words earlier. Be careful, every one of you. The four saints won’t forgive you so easily.”

Shen Fu and his supporters were startled upon hearing that. Even though they found it incredulous, the manifestation of the four saints earlier was truly shocking though one would rather believe it than doubt it. Meanwhile, whoever scolded and insulted Fang Lin earlier felt uneasy.

Shen Fu clenched his fists in rage. He refused to believe the four saints’ punishment though their light did appear when Fang Lin summoned them, so he could not do anything to the annoying kid. Inside his heart, he felt exceptionally jealous of Fang Lin. Why was Fang Lin bestowed with the favor of the four saints? Who does he think he is? How does he deserve the illumination of the four saints’ light?

“Let’s go!” Shen Fu roared in rage. He departed in a rush while his supporters followed closely behind him. They dared not even steal another glance at Fang Lin anymore.

The rest of the official disciples jeered at them. Shen Fu did not come bearing kind intentions. He was planning to make things difficult for Fang Lin originally, but he did not expect things to backfire.

“Senior Brother Disciple Xu, let’s enter the pavilion, shall we?” said Fang Lin.

Xu Shangao nodded his head repeatedly. Both of them entered the alchemy pavilion under the watchful eyes of the numerous official disciples.

There were a total of three levels in the alchemy pavilion. The first level was exceedingly wide and spacious. Fang Lin and Xu Shangao could see rows upon rows of display racks arranged meticulously upon entering. All sorts of items were displayed on the racks.

At the door, an ancient-looking man dressed in green sat cross-legged. He appeared to be dozing off.

Xu Shangao whispered into Fang Lin’s ear, “this is Elder Gu. He is the person-in-charge for the first level of the alchemy pavilion.”

Fang Lin nodded. He bowed in salutation toward Elder Gu and spoke respectfully, “I would like to purchase some medicinal herb seedlings.”

Elder Gu opened his murky eyes ever so slightly and squinted at him. Soon afterward, he pointed at a row of wooden racks nearby.

“Thank you,” Fang Lin said. Soon, he joined Xu Shangao to make their way to the front of the wooden rack. All the medicinal herb seedlings were on display as expected. Every species was labeled with a clear description, so browsing was very convenient.

Fang Lin’s gaze swept past the display rack after he chose two types of seedlings. Then, he walked to the other side of the rack and picked another three types out.

A total of seven rows were used to display the medicinal herb seedlings and Fang Lin chose more than a dozen types. When he figured it should be enough, he returned to Elder Gu once again.

Elder Gu took a look at the selected medicinal herbs and said, “What are you going to exchange these with?”

With a smile, Fang Lin procured the three bottles of Energizing Pills he prepared earlier and placed it before Elder Gu. “I’ll use these three bottles of Energizing Pills. Please examine them, Elder.”

Elder Gu pursed his lips and revealed a look of disdain. “I’ve already seen numerous Energizing Pills. How can a low-grade disciple like you refine such pills? Are you trying to trick me?”
