Chapter 43 (2/2)

Fang Lin pursed his lips and said, “I found that boring, so I left.”

Meng Wuyou was speechless. If these words had come from someone else other than Fang Lin, he would definitely have pulled the person by his collar and tossed him back into the alchemy lecture hall.

“Fine then. Would you like to enter the alchemy prescription hall to take a look?” asked Meng Wuyou.

Fang Lin wanted to say that he had no intention to do so originally, but it was true that he had nothing else better to do now, so he might as well enter. He nodded at once.

Meng Wuyou said, “You’re not actually allowed to enter the alchemy prescription hall with your identity. However, since I’m here, you can join me to enter the hall and take a casual stroll inside. Just don’t go to the second floor. You’re allowed to read the alchemy prescriptions on the first floor if you want, but you can’t bring them with you.”

“Understood,” said Fang Lin.

Soon afterward, they walked in the direction of the alchemy prescription hall. The matrix did not attempt to stop Meng Wuyou, so Fang Lin followed closely behind him and made it into the alchemy prescription hall.

Green bamboo tubes were suspended densely from the walls inside the alchemy prescription hall. A paper was glued to the outside of every bamboo tube to label the alchemy prescription stored inside each of them.

From a broad view, the bamboo tubes on the first floor almost amounted up to a few thousand. There were so many bamboo tubes it was hard to discern them with one’s eyes.

The alchemy prescriptions were suspended in different sections according to their type. As a result, the place did not appear to be messy despite there being so many of them. The bamboo tubes were arranged in a very tidy and orderly manner.

Fang Lin was inherently curious about the alchemy prescriptions. Instantly, he forgot that Meng Wuyou was at his side, so he took two bamboo tubes right away.

Taking a glance at the alchemy prescription inside the bamboo tubes, he then hooked the alchemy prescriptions back to its original spots. After that, he continued to browse the rest. Meng Wuyou smiled and shook his head after realizing that Fang Lin was making himself at home. He did not stop him as he just stood and waited.

Fang Lin browsed at an exceedingly swift speed. Any bamboo tube that was taken down would be returned almost after a quick glance. Meng Wuyou frowned upon seeing him browse through them in such a superficial manner. He said, “Can you remember if you’re looking at them so briefly?”

Fang Lin answered without even turning over to look at him, “There’s no need to remember them.”

Meng Wuyou’s words were choked in his throat. There was nothing he could do except stare at the kid strangely.

All of a sudden, Fang Lin stopped. He had an alchemy prescription in his hand but had not placed it back to its original spot after a glance like he did with the others. Instead, he was frowning.

“What happened?” asked Meng Wuyou upon realizing that he had stopped moving.

Fang Lin hesitated for a moment before he said, “There’s something wrong with this alchemy prescription.”

Upon hearing that, Meng Wuyou was stunned for a moment. Soon afterward, words escaped his mouth as he said, “How is that possible?”

Meng Wuyou’s first reaction was disbelief. He should not be blamed because all the alchemy prescriptions in this alchemy prescription hall were accumulated and collected since the first generation of the alchemy sect founders. Any alchemy prescription that made its way into the alchemy prescription hall was examined and verified by the numerous sect’s alchemists. It could not possibly be wrong.

Nevertheless, Fang Lin had pointed out that something was wrong with this alchemy prescription. Anyone would find his statement amusing and assumed that he was confused.

“There’s something wrong with the alchemy prescription for this Purple Heart Pill. It’s missing the Nightshade Grass, and the Serpent Hemp Vine isn’t necessary,” Fang Lin said, waving the alchemy prescription in his hand. After he said that, he tossed the alchemy prescription to the ground.

“If the ingredients are wrongly matched, then this Purple Heart Pill alchemy prescription is worthless,” he explained mercilessly.
