Chapter 57 - Bone-tempering Pill (1/2)

A month of learning in the alchemy academy had ended. The numerous official disciples left the alchemy academy in succession. Even if they were reluctant to leave, there was nothing they could do to remain.

Even though Fang Lin still had eleven more months to study in the alchemy academy, he had already lost his interest to continue learning there. In addition, he was in a really bad mood after being fooled by the people from the alchemy pavilion.

Even though his realm had been elevated to level-8 primordial man, Fang Lin was still very furious because he knew that he could have obviously gone all the way to level-10. However, he was stuck on the level-8 primordial man realm because of the substandard Black Heaven Rock Cauldron that the alchemy pavilion had given him.

Had it not been for the difficult situation in which he could not complain about the injustice, Fang Lin would have certainly made his way to the alchemy pavilion and caused a scene.

After a few days, his pent up anger gradually calmed down. After all, the situation had already played out in such a manner, so it served him no purpose even if he chose to stay in a bad mood.

Henceforth, Fang Lin shifted his focus to his Bone-tempering Pill.

There were already quite a number of martial arts sect disciples that commissioned him before he entered the alchemy academy. However, he had shelved the project temporarily because he was about to enter the alchemy academy.

Now that he had already left the alchemy academy, these martial arts sect disciples came looking for him in a stream just a few days after he returned. Fang Lin welcomed them enthusiastically. Moreover, he brandished his Bone-tempering Pills to them stealthily.

The martial arts sect disciples were stunned when they saw the Bone-tempering Pills. They could not look away from the pills even if they wanted to. The martial arts sect was a place where the disciples were way more competitive than those in the alchemy sect. The most basic law in the martial arts sect was that the strong ruled over the weak.

Only a powerhouse deserved to be given a status and the right to speak. Every martial arts sect disciple yearned to elevate his capabilities quickly. On the other hand, the Bone-tempering Pill was precisely the elixir that fulfilled their needs.

These few martial arts sect disciples never expected Fang Lin to be in possession of such a fine elixir known as the Bone-tempering Pill. It was an elixir that was hard to come by even for the high-grade disciples in the martial arts sect.

This was because it was extremely difficult to refine the Bone-tempering Pill. By estimation, there was one out of ten chances of successfully refining the Bone-tempering Pill even for an experienced alchemist. As a result, not many Bone-tempering Pills could be found in the alchemy sect. Even if there were some, only a very, very small portion of the pills would be taken out and sold to the martial arts sect disciples.

After all, anyone would hoard this fine, precious item in their own possession. If there were some in excess, the person would also attempt to make it profitable.

The martial arts sect disciples examined the pills closely and confirmed that they were genuine Bone-tempering Pills without a doubt. While their eyes burned hot with enthusiasm, they wished that they could tackle Fang Lin and seize the pills before running away.

Fang Lin explained that the Bone-tempering Pills were sold individually. Moreover, he was not allowed to sell too many pills at one time in order to avoid drawing the unwelcome attention of the alchemy pavilion.

The martial arts sect disciples bought a Bone-tempering Pill each on the very same day before they returned to the martial arts sect while beaming with joy. Of course, they paid a very steep price for the pills. However, they did not find that unusual because the consumption of a single pill was enough to power up them instantaneously among the martial arts cultivators in the same realm.

The next day, a large group of martial arts sect disciples flocked to Fang Lin’s place like a swarm of bees, almost filling up his courtyard.

Fang Lin shouted, trying to warn them from walking everywhere to prevent them from trampling on his plants in the courtyard. Unfortunately, there were still a few brutish disciples that stepped on his medicinal herb plants, invoking his wrath.

The three guilty martial arts sect disciples did not refute and just sat through Fang Lin’s scolding obediently.

Fang Lin used his Withered Tree Revived In The Spring Embodiment to straighten back the medicinal herbs that were stepped on earlier. His action triggered a round of applause.

Evidently, these martial arts sect disciples were here to purchase the Bone-tempering Pills. The few disciples from yesterday had talked too much and inadvertently showed off their Bone-tempering Pills to the others. As a result, these numerous martial arts sect disciples were lured here.

Secretly, Fang Lin was frustrated. It would be strange if no one found it suspicious when so many martial arts disciples came flocking to his place.
