Chapter 46: Chapter 46: The Villain Yuan Bo
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Cauldron has Cauldron Qi, the inherent aura of the Pill Cauldron, which ordinary people cannot perceive. However, as a Pill Sovereign, and a practitioner of the Nine Cauldron Skypassing Spell, Fang Lin could naturally sense the Cauldron Qi contained within the Pill Cauldron.
The primary enhancement method for Fang Lin’s Nine Cauldron Skypassing Spell was by consuming high-quality Pill Furnaces. Absorbing Cauldron Qi, although inferior to directly consuming Cauldron Furnaces, could still promote the Nine Cauldron Skypassing Spell.
Besides the Golden Flame Cauldron, Fang Lin had no other Cauldron Furnaces at the moment. Since the Golden Flame Cauldron was to be used for Pill
Refining, he could not consume it. Although he couldn’t consume the Black Cauldron in front of him, it was naturally possible for him to absorb some Cauldron Qi from it.
After all, as long as he didn’t absorb too much Cauldron Qi at once, it would continue to generate. Fang Lin had already made up his mind- -since he hadn’t gotten any high-quality Pill Furnaces at the moment, he would come here to absorb Cauldron Qi.
Having made up his mind, Fang Lin immediately sat down next to the Black Cauldron and began operating the Nine Cauldron Skypassing Spell.
From the Black Cauldron, a very subtle, black aura seeped out. The aura transformed into an incredibly fine stream and entered Fang Lin’s body through his mouth.
The moment this black aura entered his body, Fang Lin’s face reddened as if he had eaten spicy food. Sweat streamed down his forehead.
A moment later, Fang Lin stopped. His face was flushed, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans ran down his cheeks.
Breathing heavily, Fang Lin seemed fatigued, but his eyes were extremely bright, with a hint of excitement.
“I still need some time to adapt to the first absorption, but the Cauldron Qi really helps me a lot. I guess half a month of absorbing will allow me to try and reach the sixth level of Human Origin,” Fang Lin thought to himself.
Just as Fang Lin was about to continue absorbing, a loud knock at the door startled him.
“Who’s there? Get out!” A deep and arrogant voice echoed.
Fang Lin slightly frown and closed his eyes, ignoring the voice. After all, this place was covered by an array. Unless someone out there had gone crazy, they wouldn’t dare break in.
Loud knocking sounds were annoying, but Fang Lin was as calm as a meditating monk, absorbing the Cauldron Qi with his eyes shut as if he couldn’t hear the disturbance at all.
Outside the Pill Refining Room was a plump youth looking gloomily, banging on the door of the Pill Refining Room with his beefy arms.
Kang Lu stood next to him with a look of expectation.
The plump youth was the one called by Kang Lu. His name was Yuan Bo, an intermediate disciple. This D Building, Room Nine, was always occupied by him. Most of the other disciples knew that this fatso liked this room and didn’t dare compete with him for it.
Yuan Bo, though only an intermediate disciple, was a notorious troublemaker. He relied on his brute force and the fact that his father was an elder of the Pill Sect, causing not many in the Pill Sect to mess with him.
Even many advanced disciples didn’t want to offend this fatty.
Once, a junior disciple, unaware of his high stake, occupied room number nine when Yuan Bo was away. As a result, when Yuan Bo returned, that disciple got severely beaten and nearly lost his life.
Yuan Bo, because of his father, didn’t get any significant punishment. He was just confined for a while, and after getting out, he was still as domineering and arrogant as before.
Yuan Bo couldn’t believe that someone dared to occupy his Pill Chamber while he was out eating and drinking with a few friends.
Someone dared to occupy his Pill Chamber? This was outrageous!
Known for his hot temper, Yuan Bo ran over to the door and started banging on it to vent his frustration.
He was infuriated at the lack of response from the room. Was this a sign that he, Yuan Bo, wasn’t being taken seriously?
“Get the hell out if you’re inside, or else I will make you pay!” Yuan Bo roared in anger, slamming the door so hard it hurt his own hands.
Heads popped out from the other Pill Chambers nearby, watching the scene with dissatisfaction. As soon as they saw Yuan Bo, a few of them quickly hid back in, fearing they would bring trouble to themselves. Two or three others, who were not afraid of Yuan Bo, stayed out to enjoy the spectacle.
“Someone dares to snatch his Pill Chamber. Things are going to get interesting.”
“I wonder who’s so bold. No one usually dares to mess with Yuan Bo.” “That guy’s probably in trouble. Yuan Bo is not merciful when he’s mad.”
“The guy must be scared now, hiding and not coming out.”
“He can hide for a while, but not for a lifetime.”
Gradually, many disciples of the Pill Sect gathered around, creating a buzz of discussion. Many people sympathised with the person hiding in the Pill Chamber and some were gloating, eager to watch the drama unfold.
Kang Lu hid among the crowd, feeling quite smug. He also looked forward to seeing Fang Lin get a beating from Yuan Bo.
“What’s going on? Who’s making the noise here?” An elder arrived, frowning.
As he glanced around, he saw Yuan Bo swearing and felt a headache coming on. Yuan Bo was a piece of trouble that nobody wanted to deal with.
However, the elder had to handle the situation. He approached Yuan Bo and asked with displeasure, “What are you doing?”
Unintimidated by the elder’s presence, Yuan Bo replied, “Some fool occupied my Pill Chamber and is now holed up inside without daring to come out.”
Without Yuan Bo even speaking, the middle-aged elder had an idea of what had happened. But it was a problem he can’t solve, even if he wanted to.
“Even so, you can’t disturb others. Understand?” The elder said, glaring at Yuan
Yuan Bo shrugged indifferently.
The elder sighed helplessly and told the gathered disciples, “Everyone, disperse! Why are you standing here?”
Many people left, but some stayed at a distance to watch the excitement.
Elder Lu, what do you think we should do about this?” Yuan Bo said with a cold smile.
Elder Lu, watching as the disciples dispersed, lowered his voice and said, “Can you not cause trouble all the time? Don’t make things difficult for me.”
Yuan Bo humphed and retorted, “This isn’t about me causing trouble. It’s that person inside who doesn’t know what’s good for him. My Pill Chamber isn’t for just anyone to occupy. If they don’t come out, I’ll stay here all night until they do. ”
At this, Elder Lu felt a headache building. He inwardly cursed the unidentified fool who happened to run into Yuan Bo’s Pill Chamber. He wondered if they liked courting trouble.
Yuan Bo wore a cold smile. He wasn’t afraid of any elders because his father was an elder of the Pill Sect. As long as he didn’t commit a serious crime, there wouldn’t be any severe consequences for him.
Elder Lu felt helpless. He turned towards the Pill Chamber and shouted,
“Whoever is inside, come out now!”
After he finished speaking, the surroundings fell quiet. Room number nine, however, remained silent as if there wasn’t a soul inside..
