The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

“Ahem, yours truly is not feeling well today. I’m quite uncomfortable and need rest. It’s best if I recuperate quietly inside the Nine Palace Bag.” The Thousand-Year-Old Corpse Ginseng quickly feigned weakness, speaking in an exhausted voice.

Fang Lin rolled his eyes. This thing had just been full of vigor upon emerging, and now it was pretending to be weak. Truly slippery.

Everyone was astonished hearing what the Thousand-Year-Old Corpse Ginseng said. This thing that looked like a carrot elf, no matter how you looked at it, seemed pretty shameless.

Chen Wu looked displeased. He felt Fang Lin was mocking him. Speaking of a divine weapon, only to bring out a strange talking carrot, was he supposed to duel with this carrot?

Was this some kind of joke? It was just a speaking carrot. Even if it was a sentient carrot, he only needed one stroke to cut it in two.

On the side from Qian Country, Yang Jianye cast a sidelong glance at Han Luoyun: “Did you give him this carrot?”

Han Luoyun shook his head, smiling: “I honestly had no idea that the kid had such a thing.”

“This guy, he surprises us every time.”

“Is this a carrot? How come it can speak?”

“Maybe it’s become sentient.”

“A carrot elf? What can it do? Pickle itself?”

“Who knows, I completely don’t understand what Fang Lin is trying to do.”

···

The many martial artists in the field were also discussing in hushed whispers, all of them feeling baffled about Fang Lin’s actions. Some even wanted to laugh.

If Fang Lin had presented a divine weapon, it would have made sense. However, he had brought out a talking carrot elf, what was up with that?

Does he intend to defeat Chen Wu with this carrot? Isn’t that too absurd?

Fang Lin looked at the Thousand-Year-Old Corpse Ginseng and spoke earnestly: “Did you hear that, did you hear that? They’re all looking down on you, calling you a carrot elf. Can you bear with it?”

The Thousand-Year-Old Corpse Ginseng disdainfully glanced at Fang Lin: “Hmph, yours truly can bend and stretch. You’re trying to provoke me to anger. I’m telling you, it’s no use. Don’t think you can manipulate me.”

Fang Lin was speechless, then he said: “Here, one piece of ancient medicinal herb.”

Hearing that, the Thousand-Year-Old Corpse Ginseng suddenly became interested: “Really?”

“Really. Help me deal with that guy over there and I will immediately give it to you,” Fang Lin promised earnestly.

The Thousand-Year-Old Corpse Ginseng looked at Fang Lin with some mistrust: “You, a sly kid, are too cunning. Yours truly finds it hard to trust you.”

Fang Lin stated resolutely: “One piece of ancient medicinal herb, take it or leave it!”

“Take, take, take! Yours truly will take it!” The Thousand-Year-Old Corpse Ginseng hurriedly said, then fiercely glared at the confused-looking Chen Wu.

“Is it you, kiddo? Surrender obediently to me now or I’ll beat you to the point of crying for your parents!” The Thousand-Year-Old Corpse Ginseng stood with hands on hips, speaking like some street thug.

Chen Wu was truly infuriated. How dare this tiny carrot elf speak to me that way?

“Evil creature, I’ll cut you down in one stroke!” Chen Wu was furious and without thinking, he immediately sent his sword flying towards Fang Lin.

With the Sword Qi howling, it seemed to want to destroy everything in its path. Each time the power of the Sword Qi could shake the heart.

Definitely not a Sword Qi that an Earth Element martial artist could resist. Even those who just reached the Heavenly Origin level wouldn’t necessarily be able to withstand it.

Unless Fang Lin implements that mysterious and unpredictable move again and reflects the Sword Qi back, how could he intercept this sword strike?

“Wakaka! It’s just a stroke of Sword Qi. Watch as I withstand it!” The Thousand-Year-Old Corpse Ginseng bellowed and astonishingly leapt forward from Fang Lin’s hand to courageously meet the Sword Qi.

Fang Lin was shocked. Was this the same scaredy-cat, the Thousand-Year-Old Corpse Ginseng? When did it become so brave?

The Thousand-Year-Old Corpse Ginseng stood stalwartly upon the onslaught of the Sword Qi, with all of its force erupting. That terrifying energy seemed like it wanted to completely tear apart the Corpse Ginseng.

However, the Thousand-Year-Old Corpse Ginseng was extremely tough, withstanding the rampaging Sword Qi yet refusing to fall. Its face even held a hint of a calm expression.

Moments later, the Sword Qi finally dissipated and disappeared, while the Thousand-Year-Old Corpse Ginseng landed unharmed on the ground, his face revealing a disdainful expression.

“It felt like a tickle. Kid, give me something more challenging.” The Thousand-Year-Old Corpse Ginseng beckoned Chen Wu, with a mocking grin on his face.

Chen Wu was almost enraged to death. Could he endure this? He was being mocked by a carrot elf?

Chen Wu was furious, uncontrollably so. He slashed out three more Sword Qi, the dreadful Sword Qi could be felt by the crowd in the field.

If the array hadn’t risen around the edge of the field in time to restrict the power within it, the crowd would have had to retreat to avoid being accidentally hurt by the Sword Qi.

Three Sword Qi were enough to change the expressions of people like Yang Xuanfeng and Zhao Shenji. If they were in the same situation, they’d probably have already have fled.

“Old Pickle, It’s your turn!” Fang Lin yelled at the Thousand-Year-Old Corpse Ginseng.

“Hmph, leave it to me!” The Thousand-Year-Old Corpse Ginseng huffed and jumped again, although this time its expression was obviously strained.

Boom, boom, boom!

The Sword Qi wreaked havoc. The entire field was collapsing. The three Sword Qi were withstand by the Thousand-Year-Old Corpse Ginseng but even Fang Lin didn’t fare well. Despite having put on his battle armour and enhancing his body with the power of Breaking Peak, the Sword Qi still made his chest feel stifled and he spurted out blood.

“Yours truly is this tough!” The voice of the Thousand-Year-Old Corpse Ginseng echoed from a pile of debris. It stood there with one hand on its hip and one hand pointing to the sky, looking defiant and unruly, as if it were the only one who mattered in the entire world.

Everyone looked over and gasped in surprise. This carrot elf was truly unharmed, not even a scratch was left on its body.

It was as if the three terrifying Sword Qi hadn’t landed on it at all. But everyone clearly saw that this carrot elf should’ve been slain by the Sword Qi.

Chen Wu was terrified, finding it hard to believe what he saw. The carrot elf was actually this monstrous? His three consecutive Sword Qi would have forced even a martial artist of the first level of Heavenly Origin to retreat. But this carrot elf was completely unaffected.

“OMG, this carrot elf is beyond monstrous, isn’t it?”

“This isn’t a carrot elf, is it sentient rock?”

“Even a rock wouldn’t be this hard, right?”

“Hard to imagine, what the hell is this thing?”

···

Everyone was amazed, almost no one could maintain their composure, especially the martial artists from Hazy Sect. They were both furious and shocked.

Only Fang Lin remained calm. If the Thousand-Year-Old Corpse Ginseng had anything, it was toughness, resilience.

“Sigh, yours truly is truly disappointed. Is that all you’ve got?” The Thousand-Year-Old Corpse Ginseng looked at Chen Wu with disdainful eyes, speaking without a shred of shame.
