Chapter 899: Chapter 899: Tiankui Pavilion Chapter 899: Chapter 899: Tiankui Pavilion Leaving the North Town Hall and before eting with Elder Tiankui, Fang Lin summoned Wu Zhong as well as Feng, Yao, and a few others.
“I am about to et with Elder Tiankui, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to return to North Town Hall for a while. Before I leave, I will remove the poison from your bodies,” Fang Lin said, looking at Wu Zhong and the others.
Upon hearing this, Wu Zhong and the others imdiately showed expressions of joy. These days, what had tornted them the most was the poison in their bodies, which had truly made it difficult for them to eat or sleep, keeping them in a constant state of anxiety and worry.
This feeling was akin to that of soone with a severe illness who, despite knowing they were gravely sick and could die at any mont, had no idea when death would co.
Fang Lin had no deep hatred with these individuals, and using poison to control them was only a temporary asure. Now that he had beco a Five Cauldrons Pill Refiner and attained the status of a Master of Pill, controlling these people with poison was no longer aningful.
“However, my departure this ti does not an I will never return. When I co back, I may return as a disciple of Elder Tiankui to take over the North Town Hall,” Fang Lin said to them, his tone indifferent.
Wu Zhong and the others were startled upon hearing this, for they had been hoping that this scourge would quickly leave and never co back. But now it seed that this scourge was likely to return.
Moreover, by then, the status and identity of this scourge would probably be completely different from now.
“Here are the antidotes. Take them,” Fang Lin said, taking out the antidotes and distributing them to Wu Zhong and the others.
Wu Zhong and the others quickly thanked him and received the pills, but hesitated and did not dare to take them.
A smile crept onto the corners of Fang Lin’s mouth, guessing these fellows were all scared of the poison he had used. Now that they had the real antidotes in their hands, they were ironically afraid to take them.
“This is the antidote. If you don’t take it, and the poison ends up killing you, it won’t be my fault,” Fang Lin said carelessly and then walked out of the great hall.
Wu Zhong and the others looked at each other and eventually, soone clenched their teeth and took the antidote, followed by the others who steeled their resolve and took it in succession.
As Fang Lin walked out of the great hall, Ye ngxian had been waiting there for quite so ti. Seeing Fang Lin co out, she asked, “Are we ready to set off?”
However, Fang Lin said, “May I bring Dugu Nian along to et you?”
Ye ngxian was taken aback, then frowned and said, “My grandfather only wishes to see you alone. She may not go to Tiankui Pavilion.”
Hearing this, Fang Lin’s expression did not change much as he said, “Then this disciple earnestly requests Master Ye to allow Dugu Nian to accompany .”
Ye ngxian was sowhat exasperated, her tone tinged with dissatisfaction, “I didn’t realize you cared so much for that girl, insistently taking her with you wherever you go. As a Martial Artist and a Pill Refiner, such amorous concerns are not a good thing.”
Fang Lin shook his head, “It’s not that the disciple is being overly sentintal, it’s just that I have known Dugu Nian for a long ti, and I am not at ease leaving her here alone.”
Ye ngxian humd in response, produced a Jade Slip, and contacted Elder Tiankui to communicate Fang Lin’s request.
A mont later, Ye ngxian put away the Jade Slip and gave Fang Lin a look: “My grandfather values you highly and has given permission for you to bring Dugu Nian with you to Tiankui Pavilion.”
Fang Lin imdiately bowed in thanks: “Thank you, Master Ye, and thank Elder Tiankui.”
Thereupon, Fang Lin found Dugu Nian, explained the situation to her, and she resolutely decided to go with Fang Lin to Tiankui Pavilion.
Before departing, Fang Lin had a private conversation with Mo Yun and left a Jade Slip for him.
Within this Jade Slip, so of Fang Lin’s experiences regarding Pill Refining are recorded. Although only a few insights were casually left behind, they, indeed, greatly benefited Mo Yun.
“Let’s go.” Outside the North Town Hall, Ye ngxian brought out a Flying Boat. The three of them stood on it, and under Ye ngxian’s control, the Flying Boat slowly flew into the depths of the sky.
Standing on the Flying Boat, looking around at the surging sea of clouds, Fang Lin felt a surge of emotions. This trip to Tiankui Pavilion to et Elder Tiankui would grant him a significant promotion and leap in status within the Pill Alliance.
But at the sa ti, it also ant that Fang Lin might beco embroiled in the power struggle among the high ranks of the Pill Alliance. Perhaps he would beco a pawn, or perhaps the one controlling the chessboard. What the future held, only ti would tell.
“Fang Lin, what’s your ranking in the Talent Battle? Why can’t I see your na on the Talent List?” Ye ngxian stood at the front of the Flying Boat and asked.
Fang Lin said, “Disciple used an alias and ranked within the top two hundred of the Talent List.”
Hearing this, Ye ngxian was imdiately surprised. She had not expected Fang Lin to rank so high on the Talent List, which was far beyond her expectations.
Originally, she thought that Fang Lin doing well was to be ranked within two to three thousand on the Talent List, but he was actually within the top two hundred. What did this imply?
It implied that Fang Lin must have ended the second stage with a record of complete victories; otherwise, he could not possibly have ranked so high.
“So it seems that during the third stage, your opponents will probably be very difficult to deal with,” Ye ngxian remarked. As Elder Tiankui’s granddaughter, she naturally knew so information that others did not.
In the third stage Talent Battle starting in six months, the rankings on the Talent List would determine the kind of opponents you encountered.
Those ranked lower naturally would face opponents who were similarly ranked lower, while those with higher rankings would face more formidable opponents.
For these matters, Fang Lin did not care much. No matter the opponent, as long as he did his best to defeat them, that was all that mattered.
Dugu Nian sat not far away, with a zither placed before her. Her hands lightly plucked the strings, gently playing the zither.
The sound of the zither was pleasing and lodious, attracting Ye ngxian to give Dugu Nian a few more glances.
“I didn’t see it coming; this girl actually knows how to play the zither,” Ye ngxian comnted.
Fang Lin chuckled, feeling the sa way. Thinking back to the capricious and lively Dugu Nian from before and now seeing her gentle and calm deanor while playing the zither, the contrast was indeed substantial.
However, Fang Lin harbored a deeper concern because Dugu Nian’s transformation was sowhat unusual.
Although Dugu Nian was still Dugu Nian, there seed to be a presence of sothing else within her aura.
But at the mont, Fang Lin could not discern anything, so he could only quietly observe any changes.
In less than a day’s ti, the Flying Boat arrived below a towering mountain peak, which pierced into the clouds, as if it were a pillar holding up the sky and the earth.
“This is where my grandfather resides,” Ye ngxian said.
Fang Lin and Dugu Nian both looked up at the lone peak. Amidst the mist and clouds, there were exotic flowers and strange herbs, and a variety of small animals frolicked among the foliage and trees.
An old man dressed in a simple robe sat beside a stone table, holding a soft-furred white rabbit in his arms.
