As Fang Lin had pointed out, five months was not entirely insufficient, but it was indeed very tight for time.

After all, the duration of the treatment would have to be determined based on Han Xiaoxing’s own condition. All Fang Lin could do was to try to shorten this time as much as possible.

Yinyue knitted her brows as she thought, leaving Fang Lin to silently sip his medicinal tea.

After a while, Yinyue finally said, “I will gather the items you require first. As for Xiaoxing, I’ll try my best to persuade her again. If that fails, we have no other choice but to forfeit the Three Kingdoms Grand Competition.”

Fang Lin nodded. After all, he was merely an outsider. The final decision should be left to the Han sisters.

Once Yinyue left, many disciples from the Pill Sect came to visit.

This time, Fang Lin didn’t refuse any visitors. Given his free time, he saw no harm in meeting a few of them.

The disciples of the Pill Sect who came to visit had clear intentions: they sought to curry favor with Fang Lin, bringing many gifts in the process.

The news of Gu Hanshan’s death at the Endless Dungeon had spread. Everyone in the Pill Sect knew about it.

Upon Gu Hanshan’s death, Fang Lin had undisputedly become the Pill Sect’s top genius and there was no controversy about it.

Everyone knew that Fang Lin had become a hot topic in the Purple Mist Sect. Even many elders from the Pill Sect had to show their respect to him.

This was the power of status. Regardless of how uneasy or jealous other people felt, Fang Lin was simply faring better than them.

In the eyes of many, as long as Fang Lin didn’t falter, his future was likely to be perfectly smooth. There was even a possibility that he might take over the Pill Sect after Gu Daofeng retired.

Moreover, Fang Lin was a disciple of Han Luoyun. Given his exceptional talent, he even had the potential to contest for the prestigious position of the Sect Master.

Many believed that Fang Lin could possibly marry one of the Han Sisters and inherit the position of the Sect Master to rule over the entire Purple Mist Sect – standing at the pinnacle of Qian Country.

Although these were merely the imaginations of the masses, current developments did indeed hint towards such a trend.

Therefore, many people were naturally trying to curry favor with Fang Ling before he further outpaced them in status.

How could Fang Lin not understand these intentions? Nonetheless, he accepted every gift that came along and remembered each visitor’s name.

As for the future, Fang Lin didn’t really know and thus didn’t overthink.

Visitor after visitor came for several days. People even came from the Martial Sect hoping to get a glimpse of Fang Lin.

But this angered the disciples of the Pill Sect. Fang Lin was a member of their Pill Sect, what business did the Martial Sect have with him? Why were they intruding?

With Fang Lin being just one person, he had to manage the succession of visitors fairly.

Therefore, there were occasional fights between the disciples of the Pill Sect and the Martial Sect in front of Fang Lin’s courtyard over who got to visit Fang Lin first.

Rules were even established. Whoever won in a fight could cut the line, while those who lost had to obediently fall in line.

Normally, the elders of the Pill Sect would intervene. Surprisingly, this chaos continued for several days without any elder stepping in.

The elders of the Pill Sect understood Fang Lin’s position and knew that there would be many wanting to form connections with him. If they were to intervene, it would seem as if they were disrespecting Fang Lin.

Considering this, they naturally wouldn’t foolishly interfere, considering that Fang Lin’s status was now high enough to rebuke them.

Eventually, even Fang Lin couldn’t take it anymore. With ceaseless noise outside his courtyard like a bustling marketplace and visitors continuously pouring in with no end in sight.

After seven days, Fang Lin closed his courtyard doors tight and hung up a “Not receiving guests” sign which finally brought him some peace.

However, when Fang Lin opened his door the next day, there were over ten people squatting outside waiting for a chance to meet him.

This situation only ended when Yinyue visited again.

Ten days later, Yinyue came – and she wasn’t alone. Behind her was her sister, Han Xiaoxing. freёwebnoѵel.com

Seeing the chaotic scene outside Fang Lin’s courtyard, Yinyue’s face darkened, causing those people to flee in fright.

Fang Lin opened the courtyard door and invited the Han sisters in. The three of them sat down at the stone table.

“Fang Lin, I brought Xiaoxing with me. Do a check-up on her again,” said Yinyue.

Fang Lin touched his nose, “Alright, but there might be necessary physical contact during the examination. I hope Miss Han won’t find it inappropriate and please, don’t hit me.”

Yinyue gave a light smile, while Xiaoxing gave a soft snort without saying anything.

Feeling awkward, Fang Lin walked over to Xiaoxing’s side, carefully extended his hand and placed it on Xiaoxing’s eyes.

Xiaoxing’s body noticeably quivered, indicating she was as nervous as Fang Lin.

Yinyue watched from the side, equally anxious.

“Hmm, there’s nothing wrong with the eyeballs,” said Fang Lin with his hands placing gently on Xiaoxing’s temples.

Xiaoxing’s expression became slightly uncomfortable.

Fang Lin furrowed his brows, releasing a strand of inner strength into Xiaoxing’s body.

Xiaoxing sprung up suddenly, her face cold as ice, landing a punch towards Fang Lin without a word.

Fang Lin was taken aback but reacted very quickly, immediately retreating.

Xiaoxing however, pursued him relentlessly, and at an astonishing speed at that, which shocked Fang Lin.

In response, Fang Lin could only raise his palm in defense while activating the defensive attributes of the Breaking Peak Heritage.

Boom!

With a muffled sound, Fang Lin stepped back several steps, his arm numb and his blood churning inside him.

Meanwhile, Xiaoxing remained unmoved, it seemed as if she still had plenty of energy to spare.

“Xiaoxing!” Yinyue shouted and quickly went over.

Fang Lin was shocked. He had already activated the defense from Breaking Peak during the hurried response, yet he was still knocked back by Xiaoxing.

Even more, it seemed Xiaoxing had not even used her full strength and merely wanted to warn him.

This just proved how terrifying Xiaoxing’s power was. Despite Fang Lin inheriting the Breaking Peak Legacy and reaching the Earth Element stage, he still seemed exceedingly weak in front of her. freēnovelkiss.com

“Xiaoxing, what are you doing?” Yinyue scolded.

Xiaoxing’s eyes were dim and her voice cold, “He was trying to harm me!”
