Chapter 1809: Chapter 1906: Twin Elites of the Pill Saint Palace
The Pill Saint Palace ushered in its most glorious period in history.
Not only have recent years seen a surge of prodigies, but some veteran Pill Refiners have also broken through limitations, reaching new heights in both realm and skill.
Most astonishing was the emergence of two extraordinary talents in the Alchemy Tao.
One was Fang Lin, the son of Martial Sovereign Fang Qingye, exceptionally gifted, as if born for the Alchemy Tao.
The other was Qi Liansheng, who surprised everyone with his latent potential. Despite having no notable background, he could match the Pill Sovereignās son in alchemical prowess and showed no signs of falling behind.
The legendary name of the Two Prodigies of Pill Saint Palace thus spread widely.
No one knew that Fang Lin himself created this pairing of the Two Prodigies, as one of them was himself, and the other was someone he had personally guided.
Of course, even Fang Lin himself found it quite miraculous, the various entanglements between his past life and present seemed as if they were predestined in some unseen way.
Ā·Ā·Ā·Ā·
In the Sinking Abyss, Fang Lin had been imprisoned for over a thousand years. Besides Qi Liansheng, who occasionally came here, everyone else had long forgotten about Lin Erdanās existence.
Even Ouyang Han no longer remembered that there was once a young disciple named Lin Erdan in the White Phoenix Hall, after so many years it was impossible for Ouyang Han to remember a disciple who hadnāt even spent a full year there.
In fact, this was the scenario Fang Lin wanted. He didnāt wish to be embroiled too deeply with the current Pill Saint Palace, as he didnāt belong to this era or to the Pill Saint Palace of this moment.
"Master!" Qi Liansheng called out respectfully to Fang Lin as he arrived outside the Array Prison.
Though Fang Lin never formally accepted Qi Liansheng as a disciple, Qi Liansheng regarded him as his master. However, Qi Liansheng did not know Fang Linās true identity; up to now, he didnāt even know what Fang Linās name was.
Fang Lin looked at Qi Liansheng, his heart filled with emotion. Qi Liansheng had now attained considerable mastery in the Alchemy Tao, comparable to Fang Linās own former self, and as the one who had mentored Qi Liansheng, Fang Lin was very pleased.
Yet, thinking of Qi Lianshengās future, Fang Lin couldnāt help but feel somewhat melancholic. Though he had taught Qi Liansheng, it was still his own past self who triumphed over Qi Liansheng in achieving the rank of Pill Sovereign.
Furthermore, after his past self fell while refining the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill, Qi Liansheng astonishingly committed the act of stealing the Three Great Sacred Cauldron of the Pill Saint Palace, becoming its most unforgivable traitor.
Fang Lin could not fathom what changes had occurred in Qi Liansheng afterward that led him to do such a thing, as in Fang Linās impression, Qi Liansheng was incapable of committing such theft.
Although it is said you can never completely know a person, Fang Lin was very familiar with Qi Liansheng in his past life and had personally guided him for many years now, giving him greater insight into Qi Lianshengās character.
Fang Lin felt there might be something he did not know, and the matter of Qi Liansheng stealing the Three Great Sacred Cauldron might not be so simple.š³šššššššš ššš.š°š š¦
"Did you learn the Pill Refining Skills I taught you a few days ago?" Fang Lin wrote on the paper.
Qi Liansheng nodded and directly demonstrated outside the Array Prison, his every move exuding the demeanor of a strong figure in the Alchemy Tao, no longer the inexperienced young Pill Refiner.šš«šš²šššÆššØš§šš.šš š¦
Fang Lin nodded with satisfaction and wrote on the paper, "With your current accomplishments, your future achievements are limitless."
Hearing this, Qi Liansheng also felt a sense of wonder. He had never imagined he would reach this day, able to stand alongside the son of Martial Sovereign Fang in the Pill Saint Palace, known to the world as one of the Two Prodigies of the Palace.
All of this was thanks to his mentor who didnāt wish to reveal his name. Though a prisoner of the Pill Saint Palace, in Qi Lianshengās heart, this prisoner had done more for him than anyone else.
Of course, Qi Liansheng also understood that his mentor surely had reasons for teaching him all these years. At the start, his mentor had mentioned that when the time was right, he would need Qi Liansheng to pass a message to the Great Elder and the Old Palace Master.
Qi Liansheng did not know what message his master wanted passed to those two, but he would complete whatever task his master assigned regardless.
"Master, in half a month, I will participate in the Pill Refiner exam for the Six Cauldrons level," Qi Liansheng said, with a trace of undisguised excitement.
Hearing this, Fang Lin nodded and wrote on the paper, "The son of Martial Sovereign Fang will also participate, correct?"
Qi Liansheng replied, "Yes, heās even younger than I am. People say he will be the youngest Six Cauldron Pill Refiner in the Pill Saint Palace."
Fang Lin smiled wryly inside, hearing his disciple talk about his own past lifeās glory, which indeed felt quite strange.
Thinking it over, Fang Lin felt the time was nearly right. In his previous life, both he and Qi Liansheng were close to becoming Six Cauldron Pill Refiners, likely achieving Nine Cauldron within ten years, moving towards preparing to refine the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill, not too far off.
Thus, Fang Lin wrote on the paper, "You havenāt forgotten the thing you promised me, have you?"
Seeing the words on the paper, Qi Lianshengās expression turned solemn and he gave a firm nod.
Fang Lin continued writing, "Go see the Old Palace Master and tell him two wordsāMountain Tu."
Qi Liansheng was taken aback, having assumed Fang Lin would have him plead with the Old Palace Master to release him from the Sinking Abyss. He didnāt expect his only instruction was to say "Mountain Tu."
This Mountain Tu sounded like a place. Was there any special meaning to it?
Qi Liansheng couldnāt figure it out and didnāt dwell on it. He memorized the two words "Mountain Tu" and prepared to inform the Old Palace Master when he saw him.
Fang Lin further instructed on the paper, "Remember, no one else must know. You must meet the Old Palace Master alone and tell him without anyone else present."
"I understand!" Qi Liansheng responded, clasping his hands in salute before leaving.
Watching Qi Liansheng leave, Fang Lin felt uncertain. After all, just the words "Mountain Tu" might not convey anything to the Old Palace Master.
But Fang Lin couldnāt meet the Old Palace Master face to face or explain everything; he had to rely on Qi Liansheng.
However, Fang Lin couldnāt disclose too much to Qi Liansheng, especially that he was the future Fang Lin. Who knew what repercussions could ensue from such a revelation, perhaps directly altering recorded history.
"I hope the Old Palace Master can understand the meaning of Mountain Tu. As long as I can meet him, thereās still a chance for change," Fang Lin thought silently to himself.
Months later, Qi Liansheng finally met the Old Palace Master once again, but not aloneāanother person was present.
That person was this eraās Fang Lin!
