The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron C.371 - : The Rejection of Everyone

Chapter 371: Chapter 371: The Rejection of Everyone

“You two, this is Black Cauldron City, and I, Zhuge Cang, am the City Lord. If you two want to cause trouble, don’t blame me, Zhuge Cang, for being rude.” Zhuge Cang was also getting angry. What the hell was this? They didn’t take him, the power-holder here, seriously at all?

Seeing Zhuge Cang getting angry, Elder Su chuckled, also not saying any more. He sat down with good sense, completely ignoring Old Woman Gu whose face was turning as green as an eggplant.

“I will certainly report this incident to the above,” said Old Woman Gu. She also did not further argue, but the resentment in her heart was not something that could easily dissipate.

The old man with the surname Yan saw them suddenly calm down and felt greatly disappointed. He had hoped to see them fight, so he could take advantage of the situation.

Of course, if Old Woman Gu and Elder Su did end up fighting, he would stand on Elder Su’s side.

The reason being, Old Woman Gu was a Poison Pill Master. Whether it was Elder Su or the old man with the surname Yan, their hostility towards the Poison Pill Masters had never changed.

Even for Zhuge Cang, although on the surface he was mediating, in reality, he also had a strong aversion to Old Woman Gu.

Perhaps many current Pill Refiners have no feelings towards Poison Pill Masters anymore, but many old Pill Refiners still adhere to the ancient guidelines of Pill Refiners, viewing the Poison Pill Masters as their enemy.

Even though the Pill Alliance has accepted Poison Pill Masters now, in their hearts, they still do not consider Poison Pill Masters as their peers.

At this moment, on the battle stage, Guo Zhen was fuming with anger, he wished he could rush up and tear Fang Lin to pieces.

“Fang Lin, what you’ve said has not only offended me but also every Poison Pill Master. You’re not going to have a good outcome in the Pill Alliance!” Guo Zhen’s voice carried a threatening tone.

Fang Lin sneered, “You think too highly of yourself. Or do you believe that the Pill Alliance is already ruled by you Poison Pill Masters? Do you look down on us millions of Pill Refiners?”

As soon as he said this, Guo Zhen’s face changed dramatically, and many Pill Refiners below seemed to echo Fang Lin’s sentiments, all showing hostility towards Guo Zhen.

Fang Lin’s words hit the nail on the head for these Pill Refiners. They had always found it hard to accept the Pill Alliance’s acceptance of Poison Pill Masters. They had always been resisting it in their hearts.

Especially in recent years, the increasing influence of Poison Pill Masters in the Pill Alliance, had made these Pill Refiners notably discontented.

At this moment, Fang Lin’s words resonated with many Pill Refiners who were all showing favor towards him, and siding with him spontaneously.

“Poison Pill Masters, get out of Black Cauldron City!”

“Return a bright sky to the Pill Alliance!” freēwēbηovel.c૦m

“Pill Alliance doesn’t need Poison Pill Masters!”

Who knows who started it, shouts rang out one after another, all expressing resistance to Poison Pill Masters.

The shouts came wave after wave, each wave higher than the previous one. For a while, the whole Black Cauldron City was in turmoil, fiercely condemning the Poison Pill Masters.

This scene made Guo Zhen’s face turn as white as a sheet, his figure swaying, and his mind in total chaos.

Old Woman Gu also looked unhappy. She too was a Poison Pill Master, and she could clearly feel the intense rejection and hostility from everyone.

She did not expect that up to this date, there was still such strong resentment towards Poison Pill Masters within the Pill Alliance.

“Zhuge Cang, are you trying to drive me away?” Old Woman Gu asked unhappily.

Zhuge Cang didn’t say anything, Lu Wuwei at his side disdainfully spoke, “No one is trying to force you away, it’s just that you, Poison Pill Masters, are simply too revolting.”

Old Woman Gu was furious, and she gave Lu Wuwei a sharp glare. Zhuge Cang also glanced at Lu Wuwei, warning him not to speak anymore.

Chen Mu stepped forward, looked at the crowd below that was being whipped into a frenzy, and abruptly shouted, “Silence!”

His voice sounded like a clanging bell, or the roar of thunder, instantly suppressing the uproar of the crowd.

Quite a few people were afraid, worrying whether Chen Mu, the law enforcer of Black Cauldron City, would become angry. But on reflection, with so many people shouting, even if Chen Mu wanted to punish them, he couldn’t possibly punish everyone.

Although the shouting had stopped, people’s hostility towards the Poison Pill Masters did not fade.

Guo Zhen on the battle stage could clearly feel the hostile gazes from below, like pricks of a needle, making him uncomfortable all around. He wished he could escape from this damned place immediately.

“Guo Zhen, if I were you, I would have already slipped away in shame. How can you stand here so shamelessly? How thick-skinned are you?” Fang Lin ridiculed him without any courtesy.

Guo Zhen’s face turned extremely ugly, he gritted his teeth with anger, “Fang Lin, although I, Guo Zhen, am a Poison Pill Master, I am also part of the Pill Alliance, no matter what you say, it can’t change the fact that I’m part of the Pill Alliance.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Lin sighed inwardly. He initially thought he could force this fellow to withdraw using words. It seemed this wouldn’t work.

Ultimately, the reason why Fang Lin chose Guo Zhen to challenge was because this man was a Poison Pill Master.

Although Zhao Shenkong was also very annoying to Fang Lin, he was only a little arrogant, and could not compare to the repulsiveness of this Guo Zhen.

“Since you insist on standing here with a thick face, I will have to make you step down in defeat,” said Fang Lin with a smile. However, his smile bore an unmistakable hint of cruel intention.

“Hmph! I’m afraid the one who ends up stepping down will be you, Fang Lin, not me!” Guo Zhen retorted coldly.

“Let’s start.” At this time, a Pill Alliance steward stepped up onto the battle stage, giving both of them a profound look.

Immediately, Fang Lin and Guo Zhen began refining pills.

Not far away, Old Woman Gu’s face looked worse for wear, partly because of the recent incident and partly because she was privately anxious for Guo Zhen.

Although she had a lot of confidence in Guo Zhen’s abilities, after the recent events, Old Woman Gu was worried that Guo Zhen’s mindset might have been affected.

If a Pill Refiner’s state of mind was affected, the outcome could be catastrophic. If he couldn’t adjust in time, it could affect everything that followed.

Sure enough, Old Woman Gu’s worries were not unfounded. Guo Zhen’s mindset was indeed affected, and his hands began to slow down.

If one’s mind is cluttered, it’s impossible to focus!

Compared to Guo Zhen, Fang Lin was in a free state of mind. In addition, his skill level was far superior to Guo Zhen’s. At this moment, he had completely surpassed Guo Zhen in terms of progress.

It was clear to everyone who watched, although this competition had just started, Guo Zhen was already losing.

“How could I, Guo Zhen, lose to such trash?” Guo Zhen roared in his heart. He bit his tongue, spraying a mouthful of fresh blood.

Now fully alert from the pain quickly spreading from his tongue, Guo Zhen managed to regain his composure.

Upon seeing this, Fang Lin narrowed his eyes slightly. Although this guy was a Poison Pill Master, he was not an easy opponent.

“Fang Lin, let me show you what Poison Pill Master tricks are all about!” Guo Zhen roars, seeming to lose control.
