THE EXTREME ALCHEMIST OF THE MIGHTY CAULDRON

Chapter 807: Chapter 807: The Vicious Black Blood Poison

The corpse of the man in black suddenly swelled, a powerful aura faintly perceivable.

Fang Lin’s expression changed drastically, and with a leap, he immediately retreated.

Boom!!!

But it was still a step too late, as with a thunderous noise, the body of the man in black exploded, with streaks of black blood splashing everywhere.

Unable to dodge in time, even though he managed to evoke the Kylin battle armor in the nick of time, his body was still stained with the black blood.

Fang Lin’s face turned grim, this black blood was exceedingly strange, once it touched him, it penetrated his flesh like maggots in decaying bone, incessantly seeping in between his skin and muscles.

Without delay, Fang Lin activated his Inner Strength, temporarily suppressing the black blood.

He then immediately retreated into the Supreme Saint Hall.

Pfft!

The moment he entered the Supreme Saint Hall, Fang Lin spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face looking even more ghastly.

“You’re injured!” Seeing this, Dugu Nian rushed forward to support Fang Lin, looking at him worriedly.

“It’s nothing, just a minor injury,” Fang Lin shook his head, sat down cross-legged, and began to suppress the black blood within his body.

This black blood seemed to be a fierce poison, capable of damaging Fang Lin’s internal organs. If allowed to remain inside his body, his injuries would become increasingly severe, even endangering his life.

“I was indeed too careless, Hidden Kill Hall’s methods are truly insidious, to still have such hidden moves,” Fang Lin said to himself, his forehead covered in sweat.

The black blood was extremely violent, and even Inner Strength could hardly suppress it, it continued to penetrate deeper within his body.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Fang Lin immediately consumed two different Detoxification Pills and even bit into a millennium-old ancient medicinal herb as a precaution.

Observing this, Dugu Nian’s face showed intense nervousness; she was helpless and could only fret.

The Power of the Demon Bone from the Kylin surged up, aiding Fang Lin in suppressing the black blood within him. With the help of the Kylin’s Demon Bone, the black blood indeed could no longer seep deeper, but there was no way to force it out.

As time passed by, Fang Lin’s complexion gradually improved, and seeing this, Dugu Nian let out a soft sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from Fang Lin’s forehead with a silk handkerchief.

After six hours, Fang Lin finally opened his eyes, exhaling a breath of turbid air, his expression much more relieved.

“Are you alright now?” Dugu Nian asked Fang Lin, a look of concern on her face.

Fang Lin nodded and smiled, “Your concern for your master is not in vain; you really are a good disciple.”

Seeing Fang Lin still in the mood to joke, Dugu Nian glared at him.

Despite his light-hearted demeanor, Fang Lin’s heart was still heavy. The black blood was still lurking within him, not completely expelled, always a hidden threat.

“It seems I must concoct another type of Detoxification Pill to attempt to neutralize this poison,” Fang Lin thought, not overly worried.

The black blood was temporarily suppressed, and although Fang Lin’s vitality was injured, he could recover in a couple of days.

As for the presence of the black blood, it wouldn’t affect Fang Lin’s strength too much, but if he were to engage in intense combat with someone, the black blood could still potentially erupt.

“Did you encounter danger in the Ancient Alchemy Prohibited Area?” Dugu Nian asked. She had been staying inside the Supreme Saint Hall and did not know what had transpired outside.

Fang Lin nodded and recounted basically everything that happened to him after entering the Supreme Saint Hall to Dugu Nian.

“The assassins from the Hidden Kill Hall managed to get in here? Has their influence really infiltrated the Pill Alliance?” The realization that Fang Lin was wounded by an assassin from the Hidden Kill Hall astonished Dugu Nian.

Fang Lin furrowed his brows. This matter also concerned him deeply. If there was one force Fang Lin was wary of now, it would undoubtedly be the Hidden Kill Hall, a terrifying force that emerged out of nowhere, never knowing when someone might spring an attack on you.

Throughout his journey, Fang Lin had thwarted many assassination attempts by the Hidden Kill Hall, but heaven knows who might come to deal with him next time.

As the saying goes, one fears not the thief who steals but the thief who covets. The same went for Fang Lin — he did not fear a head-on conflict, but rather the fear that these dwellers of darkness could appear behind him at any moment to deliver a fatal strike.

If the Hidden Kill Hall had indeed infiltrated the Pill Alliance, then this Pill Alliance might no longer be a safe abode, and danger could descend at any moment.

Of course, this was merely conjecture. Perhaps the Hidden Kill Hall had not infiltrated the Pill Alliance, and even if there was infiltration, it was unlikely to be too deep, as the high echelons of the Pill Alliance were not to be underestimated.

“Let’s not talk about that for now. I’ve found something good.” Temporarily setting aside the issue of the Hidden Kill Hall, Fang Lin slapped the Nine Palace Bag and extracted the zither with a broken string.

“How about it? This treasure isn’t bad, right? Do you want it as a gift?” Fang Lin placed the zither in front of him and said with a smile.

Dugu Nian glanced at it and shook her head, “No, thank you.”

Fang Lin’s face stiffened, “This is a treasure; you’re actually refusing it?”

Dugu Nian said dismissively, “That broken zither’s strings are snapped; what use do I have for it? To swing it around and hit people?”

Fang Lin couldn’t help but laugh and cry, “Although the zither’s strings are broken, they can be reattached. If the right materials are found to mend it, this will definitely be a treasure.”

Dugu Nian still wore a skeptical expression, after all, the zither looked very ancient, and the strings were snapped like that, not at all appearing to be some kind of formidable treasure.

“Without strings, it’s useless to me,” Dugu Nian said as she felt the zither’s texture, which wasn’t bad.

Fang Lin said with a smile, “Once I find the materials to fix the strings, it will be useful. You keep it for now.”

Upon hearing this, Dugu Nian didn’t refuse and placed the zither into her bag, realizing then that this was the second item Fang Lin had given her.

The first was a rough bamboo flute, which was of no use.

The second was the zither with broken strings before her, which was also of no practical use.

Thinking this, Dugu Nian’s gaze suddenly became strange, silently speculating whether Fang Lin was doing this on purpose. Otherwise, why would all the gifts be music-related items, and yet all of them useless?

“I need to cultivate for a while,” Fang Lin said. He intended to assimilate the Qi Qiao Linglong Pill to boost his realm, hoping that by breaking through, he could expel the black blood from his body.

“Mhm,” Dugu Nian nodded as Fang Lin’s silhouette flashed, vanishing on the spot and entering a sealed grand hall.

Upon opening the jade box, the crystalline Qi Qiao Linglong Pill appeared in Fang Lin’s hand, its fragrance extremely pure. Despite thousands of years having passed, it still preserved a considerably potent medicinal strength.

Without hesitation, Fang Lin swallowed the Qi Qiao Linglong Pill.

As the pill entered his body, a surging medicinal power burst forth, rushing towards the depths within Fang Lin’s body.

Meanwhile, within the thirty-two halls scattered across the Nine Countries, similar events were unfolding.
