The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 1753: Chapter 1850: Participating in the Sword Head Evaluation

After some casual conversation with Han Luoyun, they finally got to the point.

Fang Lin said, "I’m here to ask the Sect Master if you are willing to lead everyone back to Qian Country?"

Han Luoyun was taken aback upon hearing this, glanced at Fang Lin, and then at Han Yinyue, who had been silent all along.

Fang Lin continued, "Now that Qian Country is being rebuilt, although it hasn’t returned to its former state, if the Purple Mist Sect returns at this time, it can not only help Qian Country recover its appearance faster but also help the Purple Mist Sect fully control Qian Country."

After a pause, Fang Lin said, "Of course, there are risks involved. Whether it is the Sealing Sword Pavilion or the Hidden Kill Hall, or even some ill-intentioned people among the Nine Countries, there is a possibility they will target the Purple Mist Sect openly or covertly."

Han Luoyun said, "Do you think we should return to Qian Country?"

Fang Lin shook his head, "My thought is for the Purple Mist Sect to remain here first; at least here, the Sky Swallowing Palace can protect the Purple Mist Sect. But if something happens in Qian Country, the Sky Swallowing Palace may not be able to help in time."

Han Luoyun hummed, a look of contemplation on his face.

Han Yinyue, standing by, asked, "If the Purple Mist Sect returns to Qian Country, can the Sky Swallowing Palace send experts to guard the Purple Mist?"

Han Luoyun frowned slightly, feeling his daughter’s suggestion was a bit excessive.

Fang Lin had no other thoughts and said, "It’s possible, and I can also contact the Pill Alliance to establish a branch in Qian Country to cooperate with the Purple Mist Sect."

Han Yinyue smiled and said, "In that case, we shall return to Qian Country."

"Yinyue, this matter cannot be decided so quickly," Han Luoyun said with a slightly stern tone.

Fang Lin was somewhat surprised, looking at Han Yinyue, not expecting her to be so decisive, choosing directly to let the Purple Mist Sect return to Qian Country without much consideration.

"Qian Country is the place where the Purple Mist Sect truly belongs, not here," Han Yinyue looked at her father with utmost seriousness.

Han Luoyun didn’t know what to say, even though he was the Sect Master of the Purple Mist Sect, in reality, he had already started to gradually transfer the sect’s affairs to Han Yinyue.

After all, Han Luoyun needed to focus on martial arts cultivation, aiming to reach the Spirit Bone realm as soon as possible, and although Han Yinyue was able to cultivate with Fang Lin’s help in her early years, her talent was average, reaching Heavenly Origin strength with considerable effort. It was enough for her to take over as the Purple Mist Sect Master.

More importantly, Han Yinyue possessed leadership skills that were not common among ordinary people. During the Purple Mist Sect’s time in Qian Country, many of the sect’s affairs were handled by Han Yinyue, and the sect’s members were generally more supportive of her.

Moreover, as the older members of the Purple Mist Sect began to retire, more young people were rising to positions, most of whom were nurtured by Han Yinyue, forming her own loyal base.

Han Luoyun’s original plan was to pass the position of Sect Master to Han Yinyue in two or three years, focusing on his cultivation.

But now, concerning the future of the Purple Mist Sect, Han Luoyun hesitated, while Han Yinyue was extremely decisive, insisting on returning to Qian Country.

This put Han Luoyun in a difficult position.

Fang Lin noticed Han Luoyun’s concerns; after all, this was no minor matter. What might happen if the Purple Mist Sect returned to Qian Country was unknown, even Fang Lin deep down was not very much in favor of the Purple Mist Sect returning to Qian Country.

However, Fang Lin had understood from various perspectives that most people in the Purple Mist Sect hoped to return to Qian Country rather than stay in such a desolate place as the Extreme North Land.

After all, the majority of Purple Mist Sect members were local to Qian Country.

The longer the time dragged on, the stronger the grievances of those wishing to return to Qian Country would grow. If it accumulated to a certain extent, it would be difficult to handle and might even lead to significant internal strife within the Purple Mist Sect.

Therefore, Fang Lin came to the Purple Mist Sect, partly to see old acquaintances and partly to let the Purple Mist Sect decide its own fate.

Fang Lin wouldn’t forcibly decide the future of the Purple Mist Sect; he would support whatever choice the Purple Mist Sect made and do his best to help.

Han Yinyue looked at Fang Lin, "I want to know, if the Purple Mist Sect returns to Qian Country, what level of experts would the Sky Swallowing Palace dispatch to guard the Purple Mist?"

Fang Lin replied, "They would dispatch someone at the Minor Longevity level, and Xiaoxing would also accompany you back to Qian Country."

Upon hearing that Han Xiaoxing would also return to Qian Country, Han Luoyun and Han Yinyue were both pleased, after all, Han Xiaoxing was also a member of the Han family, and now with Spirit Source realm cultivation, he was an unimaginable expert in the Lower Three Kingdoms.

Combined with a Minor Longevity expert from the Sky Swallowing Palace guarding the Purple Mist, a small sect like the Purple Mist Sect would effectively have one Minor Longevity expert and one Spirit Source expert, making it relatively impressive, almost capable of rivaling ordinary sects in the Upper Three Countries.

Han Yinyue nodded, "That will do. When can we set off?"

Fang Lin said, "In half a month’s time, I’ll come again."

"Hmm, thank you," Han Yinyue said and bowed to Fang Lin.

Fang Lin sighed inwardly, realizing that his bond with the Purple Mist Sect mostly rested on the Han family members. Han Yinyue’s bow was both a gesture of gratitude for his care of the Purple Mist Sect and a reminder to Fang Lin that he was gradually drifting away from the sect.

After leaving some pills for Han Luoyun and his daughter, Fang Lin didn’t linger long at the Purple Mist Sect and returned directly to the Sky Swallowing Palace.

As for who would go from the Sky Swallowing Palace to guard the Purple Mist, Fang Lin had already decided on Cao Xuesheng.

Cao Xuesheng had no objections to this; after all, he was someone who went with the flow.

Half a month later, Fang Lin escorted the members of the Purple Mist Sect back to Qian Country, to their old location in the past.

After settling the members of the Purple Mist Sect, Fang Lin obtained some freshly made pills from Yu Cuilian.

Yu Cuilian’s alchemy skills were naturally impeccable, and the quality of the pills was quite good, which satisfied Fang Lin.

Day by day passed, and Fang Lin devoted two months to closed-door training, consuming all of the pills made by Yu Cuilian, thereby replenishing his lifespan by about five hundred years.

However, Fang Lin also discovered a problem: the effects of life-extending pills diminished with each use.

Thus, the only way for Fang Lin to continue replenishing lost longevity would be to break through to the Boundary Martial Dao realm.

When Fang Lin emerged from seclusion, Dugu Nian happened to be discussing with others whether or not to participate in the Sword Head Evaluation at the Sealing Sword Pavilion.

After all, there was less than a month until the actual start of the Sword Head Evaluation, and it was time to respond.

"Since so many forces from the Nine Countries Seven Seas are participating, our Sky Swallowing Palace has no reason to avoid it," Fang Lin said to Dugu Nian.

That day, the Sky Swallowing Palace responded to the Sealing Sword Pavilion, stating to the entire world that they wouldn’t miss the Sword Head Evaluation.
