Chapter 45 (2/2)

Fang Lin looked around him. Since there was no one else, then he thought of entering to take a look. At once, he pushed open the door and entered without the slightest hesitation. The very moment the door was closed, the number on the door turned red.

The very second Fang Lin walked into alchemy room number nine, Kang Lu cracked into a sinister smile while he hid in a dark corner.

Fang Lin, oh, Fang Lin! Anyone can tell that alchemy room number nine is Senior Brother Disciple Yuan Bo’s exclusive alchemy room. Yet, you’ve stepped into his room. May God have mercy on you! Kang Lu sneered before he turned around and left in quick strides.

Inside alchemy room number nine, there was only a plush cushion and a cauldron. Other than that, there was nothing else. However, with his sharp senses, Fang Lin could sense that the alchemy room was guarded by a matrix.

It’s no wonder people are saying that the success rate of refining elixirs here is high. There’s a matrix here.

Matrices played a very important role in the act of refining elixirs. Some of the elixirs were hard to refine and the success rate of refining them could only be elevated with the help of a matrix.

Fang Lin’s attention shifted to the cauldron which looked exceedingly ordinary like a black metal lump. There was nothing special about it. In fact, the surface of the cauldron was not even adorned with the slightest bit of pattern or engravement.

Fang Lin figured that many alchemists would frown after taking a glance at such an unsophisticated cauldron. However, he did not look down on the cauldron just because of its ugly appearance. On the contrary, his gaze shifted ever so slightly as if he discovered something.

He walked to the front of the black cauldron, then stretched his hand out to rub the cauldron and knock on it gently. The cauldron made a very soft thud. Fang Lin scoffed before he continued to knock around the entire cauldron.

Clang!

At last, the cauldron made a low, muffled noise as if a layer of invisible airflow had dispersed into all directions. Fang Lin was blasted by the airflow such that his body leaned backward at once. He stumbled backward a few times continuously before he managed to stabilize himself.

At first, he was astonished, but soon after, his expression turned joyous. I didn’t expect such a precious item to be in the Purple Glow Sect!

Immediately, he identified that the black cauldron was forged from the Black Heaven Rock which was an extraterrestrial mineral. It was extremely rare, unusually hard and carried strange power. Forging a cauldron with this rock would be extremely difficult. However, any such cauldron would be the definite first choice of an alchemist.

Fang Lin’s Golden Flame Cauldron was already a rather impressive athanor. However, it was still way weaker compared to this black cauldron.

If only I can swallow this cauldron, I can certainly elevate my Divine Nine Cauldrons Passage. I believe that I can achieve the peak of the primordial level at the very least. In fact, I may even step into the primordial earth realm in a single attempt too!

The fastest way to elevate to the Divine Nine Cauldrons Passage was by swallowing cauldrons, especially the best quality cauldrons. The better the quality of the cauldron, the higher the elevation one would experience.

Fang Lin wanted to activate the Divine Nine Cauldrons Passage and swallow the Black Heaven Cauldron for himself. However, he suppressed the urge with great effort as soon as he thought about the consequences of swallowing this cauldron.

Sigh, I can’t eat it. I guess I can absorb some of the cauldron energy though. Troubled, he could not swallow the black cauldron, so he could only choose the second-best option which was to absorb the energy of this cauldron.
