The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 403: Chapter 403: Overzealous?

With this thought, Fang Lin no longer hesitated. After all, he had to take that step sooner or later, so why not just try it now? Even if he fails, it wouldn’t matter much.

Now, Fang Lin quietly adjusted his condition. Although he was already near perfection, he still needed to settle down slightly after consecutive breakthroughs.

If he was too hasty, the chances of failure would be great.

He consumed two more pills. If there was one thing Fang Lin had no shortage of, it was pills. One could say he was a walking pill depot, with all sorts of pills in his possession.

From the Earth Element Seventh Layer, he broke through consecutively to the Ninth Layer. Such speed could shock many out in the open.

However, Fang Lin saw it clearly. His efficiency in breakthroughs had much to do with the Wordless Ancient Stele. Without this stele, even with his own pills and Heavenly Blue Liquid, it would be impossible for him to break through in such a short time.

Regarding the Wordless Ancient Stele, Fang Lin’s attitude changed completely from his initial indifference.

What a nice treasure! If he could move it out, wouldn’t he become rich?

The thought was like Bone Maggots, fighting off all attempts to shoo it away, the idea of taking the Wordless Ancient Stele kept getting stronger.

However, Fang Lin knew that he probably couldn’t take it away. Any rash action might provoke the Pill Pole Tower to suppress him immediately.

Even when he was about to kill Zhao Shenkong previously, he was still stopped by the Pill Pole Tower.

It seemed that the power of Pill Pole Tower was omnipresent.

However, Fang Lin wasn’t bothered by it, focusing on breaking through to the Earth Element Tenth Layer was what mattered. As for the Wordless Ancient Stele, he would think of ways to deal with it later.

He quietly adjusted himself for four hours. Although it was short, Fang Lin himself was still adjusted to the best state, full of vigor and not feeling empty, not resembling as if he just had a breakthrough.

Then, he took a deep breath, pulled out the gourd again, and took a sip of Heavenly Blue Liquid.

In the following move, he took out an ancient medicinal herb that was a thousand years old and bit off a chunk harshly.

This action left Zhao Shenkong and an old man in white stunned, then expressions of disbelief filled their faces.

“What does he want to do?” This was the question that surfaced in both of their minds.

Boom!!!

The Heavenly Blue Liquid entered his body, coupled with a piece of thousand-year-old ancient medicinal herb, the powerful effect of both caused Fang Lin to feel as if he was going to explode.

The Wordless Ancient Stele behind him kept exuding bursts of light into Fang Lin’s body, helping Fang Lin to quickly dissolute the tremendous medicinal strength within his body.

“Has he gone mad? Is he trying to advance to the Heavenly Origin?” Zhao Shenkong couldn’t resist shouting, shaking his head in disbelief, shock, and mockery.

“Too much! Too much! This will only lead to self-torture in the end.” The old man in white also said with a furrowed brow.

In their eyes, Fang Lin’s current behavior was an absolute attempt to make a breakthrough into the Heavenly Origin realm.

Although the idea was beautiful, the method was overly foolish. After consecutively breaking through two realms, Fang Lin’s body had almost reached its limit. If he tried to break through to the Heavenly Origin without any settling down or honing, it would be an impossible feat. Worst still, it could backfire.

“Hmph! Such greed will eventually harm him. I expected too much from him.” Zhao Shenkong sneered inwardly. In his eyes, Fang Lin’s reckless act of wanting to make a breakthrough into the Heavenly Origin realm was utterly ludicrous, as if he were walking into his own demise.

The Heavenly Origin realm was no trivial matter, despite Fang Lin’s significant martial arts talent, the aid of Heavenly Blue Liquid and Wordless Ancient Stele, his starting point was too low. Having broken through two realms consecutively from the Seventh Layer of Earth Element, and intending to advance into Heavenly Origin again, anyone with common sense would find it foolish.

No martial artist would do that, even if they had ample opportunities, and enough confidence, they would still require much time for self-settlement, for adequate accumulation and thorough preparation before trying to breakthrough into Heavenly Origin.

If the breakthrough is rushed, it is not a breakthrough, but self-ruin!

In Fang Lin’s case, if the breakthrough is successful, it would be a miracle for all ages; worth boasting for a lifetime.

However, if the breakthrough fails, there will be severe consequences. Harming the root is already considered a light punishment; it might even lead to realm regression, hindering progress for the rest of his life.

All martial artists couldn’t bear such consequences.

Therefore, at this moment, Fang Lin was thought to have lost his mind, without thorough consideration, simply too greedy.

However, this suited Zhao Shenkong’s intentions. Fang Lin’s recklessness would eventually harm him, and then he, Zhao Shenkong, would profit from it.

The old man in white kept shaking his head, feeling that he had somewhat misjudged Fang Lin. Such a greedy person, no matter how talented, would probably not accomplish valuable deeds in the end, and would inevitably fall.

Of course, Fang Lin had no idea that Zhao Shenkong and the old man in white were evaluating him this way. His entire mind was fixated on exploring the Tenth Layer of Earth Element.

The Tenth Layer of Earth Element was the realm of legends. Few who entered this realm all became Young Supremes, sweeping all their peers with unparalleled skills.

Fang Lin hadn’t reached this realm in his previous life, because he spent most of his energy on Alchemy Tao.

This life, Fang Lin could fully focus on martial arts instead of worrying about Alchemy Tao.

The Tenth Layer of Earth Element was an opportunity for him to rise. If he could enter this realm, he would take a dominant position among his peers. If he made a breakthrough to the Heavenly Origin in the future, he would undoubtedly be even more mighty.

Even though the difficulty was enormous, Fang Lin still wanted to give it a try. Failure didn’t matter, as long as he succeeded once, the benefits would be lifelong.

Boom!!!

A sound like muted thunder came from his body. This time Fang Lin not only took the Heavenly Blue Liquid but also consumed half of the thousand-year-old ancient medicinal herb.

The potent properties of the thousand-year-old medicinal herb were as strong as the Heavenly Blue Liquid. Fang Lin didn’t have many ancient medicinal herbs on hand. He could not bear to eat one at a time but could only use them bit by bit.

If he had a basketful of thousand-year-old ancient medicinal herbs, then he wouldn’t need to be so economical. Unfortunately, the circumstances didn’t permit wastefulness, so he had to economize.

Moreover, if an entire ancient medicinal herb as old as a thousand years was consumed, the potency would be exceptionally fierce. Coupled with the effects of the Heavenly Blue Liquid, it might be hard to control.

How to breakthrough to the Tenth Layer of Earth Element? Perhaps only a few could answer this question throughout all of eternity.

Fang Lin had once asked his father how to step into the Tenth Layer of Earth Element.

Unfortunately, even someone like Fang Qingye, who had himself stepped into the Tenth Layer of Earth Element, could not explain it clearly.

Fang Lin remembered what his father had said, that stepping into the Tenth Layer of Earth Element was all about – feeling.

A feeling that was indescribable and difficult to portray.
