Chapter 369: Chapter 369: The Dragonâs Voice
Fang Linâs words functioned like a stone thrown onto the calm surface of a lake, stirring up thousands of ripples.
All the people looked at him, their eyes filled with astonishment.
âHeâs actually challenging Guo Zhen?â
âFang Lin sure likes to make a commotion each time.â
âThis time, heâs likely to make a fool of himself.â
âNot necessarily. Itâs always hard to measure this man by common sense.â
The crowd buzzed with discussion, some people disdained Fang Linâs decision to challenge Guo Zhen, viewing it as a self-inflicted punishment.
Others had a faint expectation for Fang Lin, hoping that he could once again surprise everyone.
That being said, a vast majority rationally believed that Fang Lin would not be able to defeat Guo Zhen.
After all, Chu He who had challenged Su Xiaotong had just met a disastrous defeat. Although Fang Lin had performed excellently before, at this stage, the actual power of a Pill Refiner was what mattered, not some side skills.
So far, Fang Lin had never refined any pills in front of the crowd, they had no idea how accomplished Fang Lin was in Pill Refining.
The delegation from Ming Kingdom were naturally sneering coldly, seeing Fang Linâs act as overstepping his abilities while the people from Yun Country looked excited for the show.
âFang Lin, are you confident?â A young man from Qian Country asked anxiously.
Fang Lin chuckled. âI guess so.â
As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped on the arena without any response from the crowd.
On the stage, Guo Zhen was looking at Fang Lin with a cold smile, like a hidden wolf stalking its prey.
âI didnât expect you to be the first to challenge me.â Guo Zhen said, his voice filled with a tone of jest and contempt.
Fang Lin replied with a slight smile, âIâm not confident with the other two, but dealing with you should be okay.â
His words immediately caused an uproar. Everyone was amazed by Fang Linâs bold statement.
Guo Zhenâs face clouded over instantly, visibly seething with rage.
Clearly, the message behind Fang Linâs words was that Guo Zhen, in his eyes, was someone he could easily deal with.
How on earth could Guo Zhen put up with this?
âGood, Iâve never seen someone as arrogant as you.â Guo Zhen sneered, but his smile seemed terrifying no matter how you look at it.
Fang Lin touched his nose, âIâm not arrogant at all. This is what you call confidence.â
Guo Zhen laughed coldly, becoming even more convinced that Fang Lin was just a reckless fool.
âIs this kid too arrogant?â
âDaring to say such a thing to Guo Zhen, heâs indeed courageous.â
âHowever, if Fang Lin loses, heâll lose big.â
âHeh, heh, who made him so arrogant.â
Many people shook their heads, feeling that it was not appropriate for Fang Lin to speak like that before the competition even started.
The people of the Meng Kingdom were even more furious, hurling curses at him.
On the other two stages, Su Xiaotong looked somewhat surprised, whereas Zhao Shenkong was expressionless.
âSu Jianchuan, I originally thought that the most arrogant person in this congress was Zhao Shenkong, but now it seems that your Qian Countryâs Fang Lin, is even more arrogant than Zhao Shenkong.â Old Woman Gu said to Elder Su who was sitting beside her, her wrinkled face showing a stern expression.
The stern looking elderly also spoke, âZhao Shenkongâs arrogance is built on a solid foundation. I donât know what made Fang Lin this arrogant? If he doesnât have any basis for it, then heâs just setting himself up to be a laughing stock.â
Elder Su smiled lightly, showing no anger, âWhether he has any basis or not, weâll know soon.â
Seeing Elder Su so calm, the stern looking elderly and Old Woman Gu were somewhat puzzled, Could it be that Fang Lin was really hiding his talents? Otherwise, why would this old boy be so calm?
However, Old Woman Gu still had great trust in Guo Zhen. In her opinion, except for Zhao Shenkong, no one could challenge him in this Pill Refiner Congress.
At this moment, on the stage, without saying a word, Guo Zhen clapped his hands on the Nine Palace Bag. With a thud, a Pill Furnace appeared in front of Guo Zhen.
Upon seeing this Pill Furnace, Fang Linâs eyes showed a hint of surprise. The crowd below, however, let out an astonished exclamation.
âFive Mountain Cauldron! Itâs indeed the Five Mountain Cauldron!â

âIs this the relic of the legendary Pill Refiner from the Meng Kingdom?â
âIndeed it is, I didnât expect Guo Zhen to have it.â
The Pill Furnace of Guo Zhen, with its heavy and retro-style shape, was an incredibly rare five-legged cauldron.
Even more so, five majestic mountains were carved on the body of the cauldron, exuding an awe-inspiring aura that made people look up in admiration.
This cauldron was known as the Five Mountain!
It was said that several hundred years ago, a remarkably talented individual in the Meng Kingdom turned the essence stones from five mountains into a Five Mountain Cauldron with the Earth Fire.
In terms of the value of Pill Furnaces, this Five Mountain Cauldron was no less inferior than Su Xiaotongâs Python Bone Cauldron.
The essence stones from five mountains had been used to forge one single Pill Furnace, which was definitely a display of extreme extravagance.
Guo Zhen showcased his Pill Furnace to intimidate Fang Lin, trying to show him the gap between their capabilities.
âYour Pill Furnace is not bad, can you give it to me?â Fang Lin asked eagerly.
Guo Zhen looked at Fang Lin as if he was an idiot, sneered, âAre you dreaming?â
Fang Lin went on, âHow about we make a bet? If I win, you will give me your Five Mountain Cauldron. If I lose, I will give you my Pill Furnace.â
âHas Fang Lin gone mad?â
âHe actually wants Guo Zhenâs Five Mountain Cauldron?â
âIâm going to die laughing.â
âIâve seen idiots but not this idiotic.â
People laughed out loud, mocking Fang Lin, deeming him as naive for wanting Guo Zhenâs Five Mountain Cauldron. Unless Guo Zhen was out of his mind, he wouldnât hand it over to you.
âYour Pill Furnace? Bring it up for us to see.â Guo Zhen uttered disdainfully.
Fang Lin pouted and showed a reluctant expression, âMy Pill Furnace is really worthless, itâs not as good as your Five Mountain Cauldron, please donât make fun of me, okay.â
While speaking, under the mocking gaze of everyone, Fang Lin took out his own Pill Furnace.
As soon as the peopleâs gaze landed on Fang Linâs Pill Furnace, everyone was shocked and their eyes widened.
At the same time, the Python Bone Cauldron in front of Su Xiaotong suddenly started to shake, seemingly very uneasy.
A magnificent dragon chant that seemed to originate from ancient times echoed throughout the arena, coming from Fang Linâs Pill Furnace.
This dragon chant made everyone, including big shots like Zhuge Cang, lose their composure.
âWhat was that sound? The pressure is terrifying!â
âWhat did I hear?â
âA dragon! The voice of a true dragon!â
Old Woman Gu and the stern elderly sprang to their feet, their gaze fiercely fixed on the stage.
Elder Su was also surprised, he had no idea that Fang Lin actually owned such a terrifying Pill Furnace.
