The words of the elder surnamed Su were resolute and imposing. If someone inexperienced were listening, they might even believe him.

But Fang Lin, having lived two lifetimes, has learned better. The elder’s words might sound sincere, but he likely had an ulterior motive.

The greatest possibility was that the old man coveted Fang Lin’s Shaking Three Mountains, hence the facade.

If Fang Lin was an ordinary person, the elder, Su, would probably watch him getting disrespected by the Li family with complete indifference.

“Fang, you should quickly pay respect to Elder Su, the highest-ranking elder of the Pill Alliance in this place,” Ouyang Jing noted, seeing the look on Fang Lin’s face, he whispered.

Fang Lin smiled and respectfully saluted the elder, Su.

Elder Su slightly nodded his head, his gaze lingering on Fang Lin for a moment, before he paced away.

The Li Family was not far away, their eyes always on Fang Lin. If he were an ordinary person, being watched like this would have made him extremely uncomfortable.

But Fang Lin was quite the opposite, he didn’t care at all, sitting with an indifferent look on his face, as if he was completely ignoring the people of the Li family.

Ouyang Jing was also very calm. This was the territory of the Pill Alliance and he was a member of the Pill Alliance, so he wasn’t afraid of these descendants of the Li family.

Even if the head of the Li family were present, he would not dare to act recklessly in front of so many members of the Pill Alliance.

The elder surnamed Su didn’t leave the hall. He stayed right in the center, always vigilant, even though he appeared to be sleepy, monitoring everyone’s every move.

On the Li Family’s side, Li Chong looked at Fang Lin with a cold arrogance, his eyes never straying away from him.

The elder of the Li family took a glance at Li Chong, then whispered, “This young man is also taking the Pill Refiner test. This is a good opportunity for you.”

A smile tugged at the corner of Li Chong’s lips. “Indeed, it is a good opportunity, today I am going to step on Fang Lin and let everyone in Qian Country know my name, Li Chong.”

The Li family elder warned in a deep voice, “You must not be careless. Fang Lin possesses the Shaking Three Mountains Ancient Skill. It will not be easy for you to defeat him. You must give it your all.”

Li Chong nodded confidently. Even if Fang Lin had the Shaking Three Mountains, he still believed he could crush him under his foot.

Soon after, a member of the Pill Alliance came out and looked at the members of the Li family and then at Fang Lin on the other side. He announced loudly, “The Li Family’s twenty test-takers please enter the Examination Hall.”

He paused and then turned to Lin Fang, “Fang Lin, correct? You too, come in.”

At this, Ouyang Jing stood up and asked, “Could Fang be allowed to take the test alone?”

Upon hearing this, the members of the Li family immediately sneered.

“What’s wrong? Are you afraid of taking the test with us?”

“So that’s what Fang Lin’s really like.”

“Such a cocky genius, can’t believe he’s showing his true colors now.”

The Li family descendants didn’t hold back their mockery. Ouyang Jing was furious. He only wanted to prevent any disturbance from Li family members during Fang’s test, but they misinterpreted it as Fang Lin being scared of them.

The alliance member showed an awkward expression and explained, “Ouyang, it’s not that I don’t want to arrange it differently, but it’s Elder Su’s arrangement, I can’t change it.”

On hearing this, Ouyang Jing’s face changed, guessing Elder Su’s possible ulterior motives with this arrangement.

Seeing the anger on Ouyang Jing’s face, Fang Lin patted him on the shoulder, saying loudly, “Brother, no need to get angry. Taking the test over there with those Li family losers will only serve to highlight my genius, right?”

Fang Lin’s voice was not quiet when he spoke so everyone in the Li family could hear him clearly.

Everyone in the Li family turned red from his words, especially the word “losers”. Even the elder of the Li family was filled with murderous intent, as if he was ready to take Fang Lin’s life at any time.

“You insolent fool! How dare you insult us!”

“Attack him together! Kill him!”

“Shameless bastard! ”

Everyone in the Li family was furious, all of them clamoring to teach Fang Lin a lesson. Even Li Chong reached for his Nine Palace Bag.

“This is the Pill Alliance’s territory! Who dares to misbehave?” At this moment, several stewards of the Pill Alliance stepped forward, their faces stern.

The Li family quieted down immediately, and the elder of the Li family signaled them to restrain themselves.

“Very well, you’re the first one who dares to insult the Li family like this,” the elder of the Li family sneered at Fang Lin, his eyes filled with unbridled murderous intent.

Fang Lin snorted and said, “A loser is a loser. You talk so much. How about you dare to touch me?”

The elder of Li family, despite his composure, almost jumped up due to Fang Lin’s provocation. The other members of the Li family were even more furious, each struggling to control their anger.

Ouyang Jing looked at Fang Lin strangely and whispered, “Junior brother, don’t go too far.”

Fang Lin snorted, “These people of the Li family just deserve to be scolded. Since they won’t be courteous to me, should I still be considerate of their feelings?”

Ouyang Jing was speechless, but thought about it and agreed. The Li family members had been trying to harm Fang Lin anyway. Even if Fang Lin didn’t insult them, the Li family would not let him off. Rather than bearing their anger silently, it felt good to speak his mind at this moment when the Li family couldn’t touch him.

With this thought, Ouyang Jing felt relieved.

The Li family members shot back incessantly, spewing out all sorts of harsh words. Fang Lin didn’t rush, he just simply called them losers again and again. This irritated the Li family members until they almost wanted to tear Fang Lin apart.

In the midst of the constant bickering, the members of the Li family and Fang Lin entered the so-called Examination Hall.

The Examination Hall was spacious enough to accommodate thousand people, the domed ceiling was engraved with mysterious patterns.

Upon entering the sight, there were heavy and ancient Pill Cauldrons neatly arranged in the Examination Hall.

Even though the furnaces were not ignited, the temperature in the Examination Hall felt noticeably higher than outside.

The air was dense with the smell of Pill Flame after years of pill refining.

Elder Su was already inside the Examination Hall, along with several stewards of the Pill Alliance, all of them were in charge of the Li family and Fang Lin’s

“Next, all with names called line up behind a Pill furnace. Li Wen, Li Shan…” A steward of the Pill Alliance read out names from a list in a rhythmic manner.

The ones whose names were called each stood behind a furnace. Fang Lin’s name was called last.

Except for Fang Lin, all were of the Li family, an inexplicable feeling.

Even after standing behind their Pill furnaces, the Li family members continued to turn around and glare at Fang Lin.

“Today, there are twenty-one participating in the Pill Refiner test. The test is divided into two parts: a theoretical test and a Pill Refining task. Candidates who pass both parts will be considered qualified,” a Pill Alliance steward announced.

Then, paper and pens were distributed to each person.

“During the test, cheating is strictly forbidden. Once found, the cheat will be disqualified from the test for ten years!” At this moment, Elder Su stood up and said. Despite the lightness in his tone, the words sent chills down the spines of many candidates..
