At this moment, Lin Fan exuded an aura of intimidation. Since the people from Dan Ding Peak had come knocking on his door, naturally, he had no intention of letting them off easily.
His heart had been nervously pounding all night, and now, no matter what, it was time to recoup some losses.
“Are you Lin Fan?” Elder Gu asked sternly, his brows furrowed deeply, his eyes sharp as swords, piercing through the soul.
Lin Fan looked at the elder before him and scoffed, “That’s me. What does Dan Ding Peak want here?”
At this moment, Elder Gu let out a cold snort, “Dan Ding Peak is the sacred place for alchemy in the Sect. You, from Unknown Peak, have broken the ancient rules of the Sect. I’m here to inform you that from today onward, alchemy is forbidden. If you violate this, you will bear the consequences.”
Elder Gu’s tone was domineering, with no room for negotiation or compromise, as if refusing meant certain doom.
The outer sect disciples, upon hearing this, changed expressions and began whispering amongst themselves, grumbling about Dan Ding Peak, yet dared not act out with the elder present.
Li Shun, observing the surroundings, raised his head proudly, his eyes narrowing mockingly.
Weren’t you mighty the day before yesterday? Now why are you all so subdued?
Lin Fan smiled faintly, then his expression turned fierce and domineering, his eyes flashing like lightning, locking onto Elder Gu, “How dare you! Who gave you the audacity to speak so brazenly before me? By seniority, you’re still my junior.”
At this moment, Zhang Er Gou had already been won over by the overbearing aura of the Sect Leader. He never expected the Sect Leader to be so domineering when confronting the elder from Dan Ding Peak, unshaken and imposing. Truly, the idol in Er Gou’s heart!
“You…” Elder Gu’s expression tightened; he hadn’t expected the other party to dare act so brazenly. Just as he was about to speak, he was cut off.
“Dan Ding Peak is truly regressing. You, as an outer sect elder of Dan Ding Peak, instead of striving for improvement, only seek to extract benefits from the outer sect disciples, oppressing them and causing a lack of new talent in the sect. This is a grave offense,” Lin Fan accused fiercely and loudly.
“You’re outrageous!” Elder Gu’s face turned dark red with anger as he retorted indignantly.
“Hmph, outrageous? What outrageousness? You from Dan Ding Peak gather here to cause trouble at Unknown Peak. Do you intend to wage war against Unknown Peak? Instead of improving your alchemy, you scheme to steal resources from the outer sect disciples daily. Truly despicable!”
“Producing only one pill from ten sets of ingredients—this level of alchemical skill is not even fit for a dog. Even a beginner disciple could succeed.”
“Taking over sixty percent of the pills from one batch—how can you have the audacity to utter such robber-like demands?” At this moment, Lin Fan was exuding dominance, pointing at Elder Gu and speaking non-stop.
The outer sect disciples around listened to these words of rebuke, their hearts surging with excitement. Their Master Lin was speaking their minds!
Elder Gu’s face turned bright red, his chest heaving, “What do you know? Alchemy is mentally exhausting and causes immense damage to one’s spirit. The strength and weakness of herbs vary greatly; producing one pill from ten is normal. Don’t slander us!”
At this point, Elder Gu was furious. This person before him was too outrageous. He would definitely make him pay today.
“Hehe…” At this moment, Lin Fan sneered coldly, “Mentally exhausting? Producing one pill from ten sets of ingredients? Blaming your lack of skill on the herbs is just the excuse of an incompetent. Open your dog eyes wide and witness real alchemy.”
With a flick of his sleeve, Lin Fan raised his right hand toward the sky. A flame erupted from his palm, so hot it twisted the space around it.
This sudden emergence of flame from his palm was a unique ability within the alchemy system.
The surrounding crowd was instantly stunned by this display from Master Lin.
They had never seen Master Lin perform alchemy before. Now, witnessing it firsthand, they were naturally excited.
Zhang Er Gou and others felt the same. They had been by the Sect Leader’s side for some time but had never seen the process of his alchemy. Now, they were delighted to witness it.
“Hmph, I’ll make a batch of Suyuan Pills right here for you to see how true alchemy is performed.”
At this moment, Lin Fan took a set of materials from his bag and threw them into the flame in his palm.
As the materials entered the flame, they floated within it, neither sinking nor rising, as if supported by an invisible force.
In the flame, the materials slowly melted, gradually emitting a glow, and a fragrant aroma of pills spread out.
Ten Suyuan Pills floated above his palm, crystal clear, fragrant, and emitting a soft white light.
At this moment, the entire scene was stunned into disbelief. Could these pills really be made so easily? How was this possible?
Elder Gu, watching this scene unfold, was shocked, wanting to speak but unable to find words.
“See clearly now…” Lin Fan sneered coldly, hurling the ten Suyuan Pills straight at Elder Gu’s face.
“Slap… slap…”
One pill after another struck Elder Gu’s face. He caught one, his expression turning even more astonished.
These pills… this…
Elder Gu couldn’t believe it. He couldn’t accept that this was real. Since when had alchemy reached such a level?
“No, you must be faking it! You’ve insulted Dan Ding Peak repeatedly. Today, I’ll show you the might of Dan Ding Peak!” At this point, the enraged Elder Gu flew into a rage, gathering true yuan energy into a fist and launching it at Lin Fan.
“Stop!”
Just then, three figures appeared in the empty sky.
Upon seeing them, Elder Gu was immediately terrified, hastily withdrawing his true yuan energy and descending from the air.
Lin Fan sneered, thinking that even if help had arrived, it wouldn’t matter. Coming and going as they pleased, acting recklessly, they clearly had no regard for Unknown Peak.
Today, I’ll teach you a lesson, so you’ll know better than to act so brazenly in the future.
At this moment, Lin Fan suddenly surged forward and viciously kicked Elder Gu right in the crotch as he descended from the air.
“Ding, congratulations on defeating the early-stage Spiritual Realm elder, Gu.”
“Ding, congratulations on leveling up ‘Ball Kick’.”
“Aaaah…”
At this moment, the sky and earth seemed to change, and a pained cry echoed throughout Unknown Peak.
The surrounding crowd’s faces changed; this scream pierced their souls, as if its owner was enduring the most excruciating pain in history.
Standing not far away, Ye Shaotian’s expression suddenly changed. This kick was eerily familiar, and even the scream sounded exactly the same.
With a direct hit from the ‘Ball Kick,’ Lin Fan wasted no time, immediately bowing to the sky where the three figures hovered, “Honoring the Sect Leader.”
At this moment, the disciples around finally snapped out of their shock and echoed Lin Fan’s words in unison, “Honoring the Sect Leader.”
“Senior Elder.”
Among the three figures in the sky, Lin Fan recognized two: the Sect Leader and Senior Elder Wuya. The identity of the third was unknown.
He probably was another Senior Elder.
But he wondered why the Sect Leader and others had come here. Could it be related to the matter with Dan Ding Peak?
At this moment, Elder Gu was sprawled on the ground, both hands clutching his crotch, rolling in pain with a pale face, howling in agony.
Li Shun’s heart trembled violently. He had personally experienced that kick before, and it was unbearably painful.
That kind of pain was beyond human endurance.
That kind of pain surged like waves, wave after wave, carrying one to the peak.
