The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 615: Chapter 615: Ancient Battlefield

“What? Are you planning to keep me here?” Dream Falling Flower glanced back coldly before bursting into laughter. But then she stopped, abruptly.

Without warning, Fang Lin sprang into action. Like an arrow released from a bow, he was in front of Dream Falling Flower in an instant.

Dream Falling Flower’s eyes narrowed slightly. A flick of her wrist, and a palm strike aimed at Fang Lin’s chest was launched.

Fang Lin responded to the attack with a palm strike of his own, meeting Dream Falling Flower head-on.

Bang!

Their palms collided and Fang Lin was sent flying backward, blood spewing from his mouth.

Dream Falling Flower, cold as ice, remained steadfast. But deep within her eyes flickered a hint of surprise.

Fang Lin’s strike had taken her by surprise.

To her, his palm strike was comparable to that of a Heavenly Origin Rank 5 master.

Of course, this would not cause any problem for her.

“Are you seeking death?” Dream Falling Flower whispered coldly, a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes.

Fang Lin stood up steadily, his face was pale, but a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, “Just wanted to test your strength, you’re stronger than Xu Wang.”

He was telling the truth. If he were facing Xu Wang, although he could withstand his attack, he wouldn’t be as composed as Dream Falling Flower.

Besides, he had noted that Dream Falling Flower had not been pushing hard, she had been holding back.

“Do you believe I could kill you right now?” Looking at Fang Lin, Dream Falling Flower spoke indifferently.

Fang Lin shook his head, “I don’t. If you’re sure you can finish me off, why waste so much talk? Go ahead and strike.”

Steward Shen and Dugu Nian moved to stand beside Fang Lin, ready to fight side by side as they eyed Dream Falling Flower with wariness and hostility.

Dream Falling Flower was annoyed. She seemed to have trouble comprehending what Fang Lin was aiming at. He wasn’t powerful, but he was surely a puzzling madman.

“As I’ve stated, I have no desire to kill you now.” Dream Falling Flower said, before turning and departing once again.

This time, Fang Lin didn’t interfere. He had already tested some of Dream Falling Flower’s strengths. She was quite powerful, with cultivation at least at the sixth or seventh level of Heavenly Origin.

After Dream Falling Flower had disappeared entirely from their sight, unable to be detected even with the Spirit Eye, Steward Shen spoke in a reproachful tone, “Why did you rashly attack her? It was too dangerous.”

Fang Lin patted Steward Shen’s shoulder, “Old Shen, you don’t understand. My move was not entirely meaningless.”

Steward Shen frowned, “What was the point in that? So we know she’s powerful, even if the three of us join forces, we’re not sure we can subdue her.”

“It was not just about discovering her strength,” Fang Lin replied, a mysterious smile playing on his lips.

“What on earth did you do then?” Dugu Nian, filled with curiosity, pressed on with her questions.

Fang Lin glanced at her sideways, “You’re too naive to understand even if I explained.”

“Hmph!” Dugu Nian huffed, glaring at Fang Lin fiercely.

Without hesitating, the trio gathered everything belonging to the two from the Western Guarding Palace, and then they left the place.

“Where do we go next?” Steward Shen asked.

Fang Lin responded promptly, “First we rest for an evening, then tomorrow we seek the Sacred Medicine.”

At these words, both Steward Shen and Dugu Nian felt a jolt of shock. However, they didn’t say anything more. The allure of the Sacred Medicine was too great to resist. Even if this was likely a trap, they had no way to resist and had to give it a shot.

If they could get hold of a Sacred Medicine, then even if the following days yielded no rewards, it wouldn’t matter.

But would the Sacred Medicine be so easy to obtain?

Two hours later, the trio found a secluded place to rest. The terrain was complex, filled with miasma and infested with poisonous insects.

Fang Lin gave each of them a Detoxification Pill and released the Soul Commanding Pill Fire. All the poisonous insects fled at its approach.

In the depth of the dense forest, they rested for the night undisturbed.

That same night, the golden-haired pup woke up. Fang Lin was overjoyed. With the pup and its strange abilities, their chances of securing the Sacred Medicine undoubtedly improved.

…

On the second day, the three of them set out in search of the Sacred Medicine.

According to the Jade Slip given by Dream Falling Flower, the Sacred Medicine was not too far from them. It would take one or two days to reach it but there were fearsome Demon Beasts dwelling there, making it extremely dangerous.

However, when Fang Lin and the others arrived, they found that there were no powerful Demon Beasts. There weren’t even many Demon Beasts in the Three Transformations realm.

Here, in the Hundred Beast Mountain, was a rather unique place because it was an ancient battlefield.

Hundred Beast Mountain, countless years ago, was a battlefield. When Hou Yi, the Martial Lord, shot down the nine suns and perished, the world descended into chaos. The Demon Clan rose, intending to wipe out the Human Clan and seize all their lands.

The Human Clan fought back, their battles waged everywhere. Hundred Beast Mountain was one such battlefield.

Eventually, the Human Clan won, albeit at a great cost. A large number of Demon Beasts were suppressed here with numerous formations, generation after generation.

It can be said that the Demon Beasts of Hundred Beast Mountain today are descendants of those suppressed all those years ago.

Within the Hundred Beast Mountain, there are many ancient battlefields, littered with the bodies of fallen Human Warriors and slain Demon Beasts.

Each battlefield is a treasure trove, with many precious items to be found. With enough luck, one might even stumble upon powerful intact treasures.

Of course, after so many years, almost everything valuable that could be found has already been claimed by either humans or Demon Beasts. For instance, the Mountain Devouring Flood Dragon found the Boundless Stone and a broken ancient mirror within one such battlefield before it metamorphosed into its current form, which was relatively lucky.

However, for the Demon Beasts within Hundred Beast Mountain, these ancient battlefields are places they fear the most. Perennial murderous intent and resentment linger in these places, and even after all these years, the enraged roars of Human Warriors can still be heard from those battlefields from time to time.

According to the map given by Dream Falling Flower, the Sacred Medicine is located within one of these ancient battlefields.

Before Fang Lin and the others could find the place, others had already arrived. Moreover, it wasn’t just one or two individuals.

A burly youth with a head full of red hair stood at the outskirts of the battlefield, looking at the scorched earth ahead with a solemn expression.

Following the redhead were four or five young people, obviously from the same group as him.

Not far from them was another group, the leader was a young woman. A pretty face complimented by elegant eyebrows. She appeared to be in her mid-twenties, with long hair cascading over her shoulders and wearing a pale pink long dress, looked very elegant.

The girls behind her were also quite attractive, pleasing to the eye.

This elegant lady was holding a simple paper umbrella. While the umbrella looked simple, on its surface were scattered blossoming plum flowers.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
