Chapter 1905: Chapter 2002: Request for Notification
As for when Mo Shouhe will regain his peak strength, Fang Lin couldn’t predict, but it shouldn’t take too long. After all, this is Mo Shouhe, a pinnacle powerhouse among all beings; it’s not something that can be measured by common logic.
When Mo Shouhe’s strength is restored, there will be no place in this world where one can hide, the Ancient Demon Ridge would be nothing in front of Mo Shouhe.
The old saying goes that if a person does not plan for the long term, they will have imminent worries. However, Fang Lin now has both immediate worries and long-term concerns, and the pressure is immense.
If it were still the ancient times, Fang Lin wouldn’t feel such great pressure. After all, back then, there were still his father and Hou Yi, unrivaled powerhouses, to withstand and shoulder all burdens.
But in this era, there is no one to bear the burden for Fang Lin. He alone must face those threats, whether near or far.
’With great power comes great responsibility,’ Fang Lin deeply understands the truth of this phrase, but now he is very confused and doesn’t know what to do.
"What are you thinking?" A voice sounded, and Fang Lin suddenly stood up, seeing a black umbrella appear first, followed by the person holding it coming under the umbrella. It was the same old look; the black obscured most of his face, as if avoiding any sunlight, always holding this black umbrella.
Fang Lin’s eyes lit up when he saw this person.
"Are you thinking about Mo Shouhe?" The umbrella holder asked directly, not paying any mind to Fang Lin’s eager look, like grasping at a lifeline.
"Do you have a way to save them?" Fang Lin did not answer the umbrella holder’s question and pointed to the people inside the cave.
The umbrella holder glanced inside the cave and shook his head: "I can’t save them, unless Mo Shouhe returns the vitality he extracted from them back into their bodies, but this is simply unrealistic."
"Aren’t you an Ancient Spirit Incarnation? Can’t you save even a few lives?" Fang Lin said with a slightly heavier tone, yet still fairly calm.
The umbrella holder looked at him, and only then did Fang Lin truly notice his face. It was not extraordinary, but upon a closer look, Fang Lin noticed that the person’s face seemed to be constantly changing.
"You’re the one most capable of saving them. Why are you seeking my help?" The umbrella holder said calmly.
Fang Lin was stunned; he is the most capable of saving them?
"Are you saying to refine pills to save them? But the pills don’t work; vitality cannot accumulate in them. No matter how many pills I refine, it won’t completely solve the problem." Fang Lin said frowning.
The umbrella holder sneered: "A so-called Pill Sovereign, yet cannot save a few people who are not yet dead. What kind of Pill Sovereign are you? You once were more confident than anyone else in the world, even creating the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill. Now you’re in despair?"
A so-called Pill Sovereign can’t even save a few people who aren’t dead yet?
This statement, like a sharp sword, stabbed into Fang Lin’s heart, making it almost impossible for him to breathe, unbelievably painful.
The umbrella holder didn’t look at Fang Lin’s tightened expression and continued: "Back to those years before, haven’t you understood yet? As a transcendent being and standing at the pinnacle of the Alchemy Tao, you even refined the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill. As long as the person is not dead, there is a way to save them. Surely you have such a skill? If it’s really like this, then Jin Zhulong’s sacrifice was in vain. He died in vain, ridiculously pinning all hopes on a waste like you!"
Fang Lin suddenly raised his head: "What should I do?"
"Hmph! Ask yourself!" The umbrella holder turned and walked away, without intending to waste words with Fang Lin, full of disappointment in his tone.
Fang Lin stood in place for a long time, unmoving. The umbrella holder’s words helped Fang Lin understand some things.
"As long as a person is not yet dead, there is a way to save them. Although the power of pills is limited and cannot save the dead, it can save those who aren’t dead yet." Fang Lin took a deep breath, his eyes gradually regaining their former sparkle.
"I forgot, Martial Arts is not my forte; Alchemy Tao is my best skill." Fang Lin said, turning to enter the ancient cave.
Three days later, Fang Lin emerged from the ancient cave, having thoroughly understood the condition of Dugu Nian and the others.
He intended to refine a kind of pill he hadn’t made before, to completely solve the crisis Dugu Nian and the others faced.
Every pill is created from nothing by countless predecessors in the Alchemy Tao. Although there was no pill known to Fang Lin that could resolve Dugu Nian and the others’ situation, Fang Lin himself could create such a pill.
As for whether he could succeed, Fang Lin did not think much of it. He had regained the confidence he once had as the Pill Sovereign; if he could refine the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill, how could he not save a few living people?
If he truly couldn’t save them, then Fang Lin wouldn’t deserve the title of the supreme in the Alchemy Tao.
The Great Sage Equal to Heaven, seeing that Fang Lin was preparing to refine pills to save Dugu Nian and the others, didn’t ask further but only instructed Fang Lin to ask for anything he needed, and the Ancient Demon Ridge would do everything to provide him with all necessary materials for pill refining.
"There’s no lack of necessary materials, but only the Pill Furnace, although the Ancient Sky-Lifting Tripod is extraordinary, for the pills I wish to refine, which will surely reach a ninth-grade level, the quality of the Pill Furnace is somewhat inferior. However, there is no other option; in this era, there might be no better Pill Furnace than the Ancient Sky-Lifting Tripod." Fang Lin silently noted as he looked at the ancient Pill Furnace before him.
Thinking of this, Fang Lin couldn’t help but recall the Furnace of Heaven, Earth, Sun, and Moon he once used, which regrettably was destroyed. The moment the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill was completed, it was destroyed by the umbrella holder, an event Fang Lin witnessed personally. Although it was out of necessity on the umbrella holder’s part, it was still a rare sacred cauldron in the world, gone just like that. It was also the Pill Furnace Fang Lin handled most smoothly, truly regrettable.
····
Outside the Ancient Demon Ridge, no one knew when a person arrived, a young man with clean features, wearing a very old-fashioned pill refiner’s robe, not the style worn by the Pill Alliance nor of any Alchemy Tao family.
This person, appearing ordinary, yet had something extraordinary about him.
The demon beasts on guard were all alertly watching the newcomer; it was a tense time, and no one would come to the Ancient Demon Ridge without reason. Anyone daring to come here must have considerable background.
Demon beasts have an instinctive repulsion against the Human Clan, so naturally, the young man was stopped at the entrance of the Ancient Demon Ridge.
The young man stood at the entrance of the Ancient Demon Ridge, smiling, bowed, and cupped his hands.
"I am Qi Liansheng from the Pill Saint Palace, may I request an audience."
