Chapter 1792: Chapter 1889: Found a Treasure

“You’re just a newly-entered disciple of the Pill Saint Palace, and you wish to undertake the Pill Refiner examination?” Ouyang Han said with an angry expression.

Fang Lin respectfully said, “I believe I can pass the examination.”

Ouyang Han snorted lightly, “Do you know that if you fail the examination, you’ll have to wait three years before you can take it again.”

“I am confident,” Fang Lin said very earnestly, without wavering in the slightest.

He’s not joking; Fang Lin knows the rules of the Pill Saint Palace like the back of his hand. For him, the chance of failing the examination simply doesn’t exist.

Even though the Pill Saint Palace’s Pill Refiner examination is much more difficult than examinations of later ages, Fang Lin remains absolutely confident. After all, he experienced all the examinations of the Pill Saint Palace in his past life, and with his current level, he can easily pass the Five Cauldrons Pill Refiner examination without any problem.

“I won’t agree to this right now. Think it over and come to me after three days,” Ouyang Han said, not agreeing to Fang Lin’s request.

Upon hearing this, Fang Lin sighed helplessly in his heart and had no choice but to retreat.

Ouyang Han frowned deeply. She was an old-timer at the Pill Saint Palace and had seen many Alchemy Tao geniuses. Many of these geniuses came to the Pill Saint Palace with arrogance, wanting to become high-ranked Pill Refiners directly, rushing to participate in examinations, only to fail repeatedly.

In Ouyang Han’s view, this Lin Erdan was just too arrogant, the kind of person she had seen far too often. Hence, she wouldn’t let them rush into examinations, but if Lin Erdan was insistent on taking them, she wouldn’t stop him anymore.

····

Three days later, Fang Lin indeed came again, insisting on taking the rank examination.

“I can let you take the examination, but you must bear the consequences of failure yourself!” Ouyang Han said with some discontent.

“I hope the Hall Master will arrange it for me,” Fang Lin said earnestly.

Ouyang Han said nothing more and directly arranged the examination matters for Fang Lin.

As the Hall Master of White Phoenix Hall, arranging a Pill Refiner rank examination was very easy, and everything was settled in less than half a day.

In a side hall affiliated with White Phoenix Hall, Ouyang Han and two elders from White Phoenix Hall stood together, all looking at Fang Lin who stood in the center of the hall.

“You hold no rank in the Seventy-two Seas, but since you passed the recruitment examination, it is assumed you possess the strength of a Three Cauldrons Pill Refiner. Therefore, the examination you will undertake next is the Four Cauldrons Pill Refiner examination. Do you understand?” The person responsible for the examination, an elder, said to Fang Lin at this moment.

Fang Lin nodded, “I understand.”

The elder hummed, “Since you understand, then let’s begin.”

Eight hours later, Fang Lin smoothly completed the pill refining and finally obtained the identity of a Four Cauldrons Pill Refiner at the Pill Saint Palace.

Those present were somewhat surprised; initially, none thought Fang Lin could pass the examination. Yet Fang Lin breezed through it, and the process was exceptionally smooth and effortless, showing no difficulty at all.

Even Ouyang Han was quite surprised, but beyond her astonishment, she was rather pleased, thinking that this time her White Phoenix Hall had indeed picked up a valuable Alchemy Tao genius.

“I also wish to continue with the Five Cauldrons Pill Refiner examination, hoping the Hall Master permits,” Fang Lin said to Ouyang Han right after donning the Four Cauldrons Pill Refiner emblem.

Ouyang Han was taken aback. What? This kid just passed the Four Cauldrons Pill Refiner examination, the emblem hadn’t even warmed up yet, and he wants to undertake the Five Cauldrons examination?

“Are you sure?” Ouyang Han asked with a frown.

Fang Lin said, “I am confident I can pass.”

“Absurd! You’ve only been in the Pill Saint Palace for a few days and already want to ascend in one step? That’s too greedy and reckless!” An elder beside Ouyang Han spoke, rebuking him.

Fang Lin bowed slightly, saying politely, “It’s not greed or recklessness but genuine confidence. I hope the Hall Master and elders can agree to let me continue the examination.”

Hearing this, the elder became even angrier, while Ouyang Han was thoughtful and looked deeply at Fang Lin.

“If you are really confident, what’s wrong with trying?” Ouyang Han said.

“Thank you, Hall Master.” Fang Lin immediately seized the opportunity and bowed to Ouyang Han.

As even Ouyang Han agreed, the other elders naturally had nothing to say, as Ouyang Han held absolute authority within White Phoenix Hall.

Without any delay, Fang Lin directly began the Five Cauldrons Pill Refiner examination. This examination, compared to later ages, was more difficult and complex, with five stages instead of the three stages in later times. This alone showed that Five Cauldrons Masters of this era were much more genuine compared to the so-called masters of later ages.

This had been a feeling Fang Lin always had; many of the Alchemy Tao masters of later ages were rather underwhelming. If placed in the ancient times, it wouldn’t have been possible for them to become Five Cauldrons Masters. It was just that they were fortunate enough to catch a good era, allowing them to achieve their standing.

However, this examination, though extremely difficult for ordinary Pill Refiners, for Fang Lin was just that. The difficulty didn’t pose any complete obstacle for him.

Three days later, all five examination stages ended, and Fang Lin passed them without any issue, completing the examination smoothly.

“Looks like my White Phoenix Hall truly found a treasure.” As Fang Lin completed the examination, Ouyang Han, who had been waiting there for several days, genuinely remarked.

Not only her, but the other elders of White Phoenix Hall also shared the sentiment. Previously, they thought Fang Lin was too impulsive, but now it seemed Fang Lin was truly a gem. He had just arrived at the Pill Saint Palace a few days ago and had become a Five Cauldrons Pill Refiner, which even in the talent-rich Pill Saint Palace was a commendable achievement.

At least, in White Phoenix Hall, not many young Pill Refiners could become Five Cauldrons Pill Refiners within just a few days of entering the Pill Saint Palace.

“Lin Erdan, honestly, tell this hall, from where did you learn your Alchemy Tao skills? Such solid foundation, combined with your two impressive hand techniques in refining pills, must indicate guidance from a renowned mentor.” Ouyang Han asked.

Fang Lin replied, “Not to conceal from the Hall Master, I indeed received guidance from a famous mentor while in the Seventy-two Seas. However, that elder never disclosed his identity, so I do not know who he is.”

Ouyang Han smiled, “No matter, having such strength pleases this hall greatly.”

Fang Lin cupped his hands and, after a moment’s hesitation, said, “Hall Master, I have another request.”

Ouyang Han waved her hand, “Speak freely.”

Fang Lin’s face showed a hint of shyness and said, “May I continue with the Six Cauldrons Pill Refiner examination?”
