Chapter 47 (1/2)

Elder Lu’s expression appeared rather unpleasant because the person inside the alchemy room had obviously heard his voice, yet refused to come out. It was apparent to him that this person had no respect for him.

Moreover, there were so many people around to witness how he could not even manage a disciple. It was truly embarrassing for him. Instantly, Elder Lu roared in rage, “As an elder, I’m ordering you to come out at this very moment!”

The alchemy room remained silent just as before. Many of the disciples watching the scene from afar tittered to themselves secretly.

Elder Lu’s face turned pitch black in a fit. Resentfully, Yuan Bo looked at him and said, “Elder Lu, are you actually capable of telling him to do that?”

The elder clenched his teeth in rage when he heard the remark. Do you even have a brain, you lard-bucket? Can’t you see that I’m helping you? At once, he tutted, not wishing to be involved in this matter anymore, so he left with a huff.

Yuan Bo did not mind at all when he noticed Elder Lu leave in such a hurry. He continued to block the front of the door and curse aloud.

It continued all the way until night time. Yuan Bo was exhausted from all the screaming, so he asked his friends to bring over some meat and mead. They sat outside the door of alchemy room number nine and began to enjoy the feast. Everyone could see that Yuan Bo was fully determined to block the person inside the alchemy room until the end.

Inside the alchemy room, Fang Lin was fully focused on absorbing the energy from the black cauldron. He was well aware of what was taking place outside the alchemy room naturally, but he paid no attention to it.

If the person outside had spoken politely, perhaps he would have come out and shown his face. However, since the person outside was terribly rude, Fang Lin was not bothered to show any courtesy to this person either.

So, you want me to come out? I won’t come out as you requested then. Anyhow, I’m allowed to remain in the alchemy academy for a year. Do you have the patience to try to exhaust me for a year?

Of course, Fang Lin could not possibly stay in this alchemy room for a year. He could not even stay for ten days. After all, his realm was still considered low at the moment and he was incapable of sustaining for a long period without food and drinks. If he continued to do this for a long time, his blood essence would deteriorate and he would starve to death.

Fang Lin’s limit was ten days. He must leave the alchemy room to eat as soon as ten days were up.

However, he came up with a plan to stay there for ten days. In ten days, he would absorb adequate cauldron energy until he could break through to the level-6 primordial man realm. By then, he would be able to protect himself better when he left the room.

The drama surrounding alchemy room number nine grew more and more intense in those ten days. Many disciples surrounded the place every day to watch Yuan Bo curse and knock on the door. Although a few elders came over to take a look, none of them did anything officially.

In reality, the drama outside the alchemy room was not a rare sight. However, it was considered rather uncommon to see this in the Yellow Building since it happened more frequently in the Black and the Earth Buildings.

After all, the people in the Yellow Building were mostly low-grade disciples. How could they have the courage to fight for an alchemy room with the medium-grade disciples?

Yuan Bo camped outside the alchemy room for seven to eight days, but no one was seen coming out from the room. His heart was filled with enmity and rage.

Many people were secretly elated when they saw Yuan Bo being furious yet helpless every day. They cheered for the person inside the alchemy room in their hearts. After all, Yuan Bo was a local tyrant amongst the official disciples and was known for his notorious reputation. Many people dared not speak up against him despite being bullied by him. They felt delighted upon seeing him being quashed in such a manner.

On the ninth day, Kang Lu could not endure it anymore at last. He began secretly spreading the word that the person in the alchemy room was Fang Lin.

When the crowd learned that it was actually Fang Lin, everyone was beyond surprised.

Many people changed their perception and considered it for a moment. They figured that only the weirdo, Fang Lin, who had the audacity to be lawless out of all the low-grade disciples, would refuse to show any respect for the evil Yuan Bo.

Xu Shangao had been feeling restless and anxious these days. When he instantly found out that it was Fang Lin hiding in the alchemy room all the while, he felt very troubled and began to complain incessantly.

Yuan Bo was unlike Lu Jiuhe. Albeit Lu Jiuhe was a high-grade disciple, he still followed the rules at the very least. However, it was different with Yuan Bo. He was a big bully with his elder father as his backer. He could be described as the little overlord in the alchemy sect who had no care for rules and regulations at all.

Xu Shangao was worried because Fang Lin could not possibly hide inside the alchemy room forever. He was worried that Yuan Bo would beat his friend up as soon as he left the room.
