“Talk, I’m listening,” said Fang Lin indifferently.
Wang Dalong hesitated for a moment before he began, “Fang might not know this, but inside the Demon Suppressing Cave, every ten days, all the imprisoned disciples are allowed to gather in the central square for a day of free movement.”
Fang Lin glanced at Wang Dalong and laughed, “Isn’t that a good thing? Being able to go out and get some fresh air every ten days sounds nice.”
The smile on Wang Dalong’s face turned bitter. The young man, Shen Dong, added, “It’s not as simple as just getting some fresh air. When the time comes, all the disciples imprisoned here will gather. Among them, there are a few who are extremely formidable, they are the rulers of this Demon Suppressing Cave. Among them, two are Yu Qiufan’s cronies.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Lin understood. So, Yu Qiufan’s forces also existed within this Demon Suppressing Cave.
Fang Lin couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh. This Yu Qiufan truly wasn’t simple, not only was he famous within the Pill Sect, but he also managed to have his minions even within this isolated Demon Suppressing
Cave. To achieve this, he truly deserves to be one of the Four Elites of Pill Sect.
“How many rulers are there in this Demon Suppressing Cave?” Fang Lin asked curiously.
Before Wang Dalong could answer, Shen Dong interjected, “There are five in total, two are Yu Qiufan’s people, one belongs to Meng Chaoyang, and another to Ding Xuanji.”
Fang Lin frowned and asked, “What about the last one?”
Shen Dong smiled awkwardly and said, “I’m not quite sure about the last one.”
Before Shen Dong could continue, Wang Dalong seized the opportunity to sneak in a word, giving a disdainful glance at Shen Dong, “What are you showing off for? How long have you been here?”
Fang Lin waved his hand to Wang Dalong and said, “Just say it if you know, quit the nonsense. ”
Wang Dalong hurriedly said, “The last person is very unique, he doesn’t serve anyone, he is a complete lone ranger. Even the other four rulers, dare not provoke him.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Lin made an understanding sound though his face was expressionless.
“Fang, you must be careful, those two cronies of Yu Qiufan are very formidable,” warned Shen Dong.
Fang Lin nodded and said, “I will be.”
Five more days passed, leaving just one day before the ‘windy day’ Shen Dong and the others had talked about. Apart from Fang Lin, Wang Dalong and the others were both anxious and excited in anticipation.
They were anxious because the presence of Fang Lin might make the day filled with surprises.
They were excited because it was the rare ‘windy day’, a chance to step out of the stone chamber and experience some long-lost freedom.
As for the upcoming ‘windy day’, Fang Lin was not particularly concerned about it. He was still considering what the most suitable pill to make with the White Bird Fruit was.
After some deliberation, he finally made a decision.
Although the White Bird Fruit could be used to refine many types of pills, none of these were the best choice for Fang Lin.
There was only one pill that was best suited for the present Fang Lin and would maximize the effectiveness of the White Bird Fruit.
This pill was called the Wind -controlling Pill, a relatively obscure pill.
Although not of high grade, few Pill Refiners knew how to refine this pill.
The Wind-controlling Pill is a top-grade first-tier pill. After consumption, it will allow the martial artist to gain some insights into the wind, making movements extremely agile as if the wind is assisting.
The reason why Fang Lin chose to refine this pill was also thanks to his tough battle with the White Tiger Demon.
With the help of the wind, the White Tiger Demon was agile and attacked rapidly. Even though Fang Lin had the Nine Heavens Step Skill, he could barely defend against it.
After much consideration, Fang Lin knew that at his current level, he didn’t need to rely on pills to improve his progress. What he lacked most were defensive measures.
Fang Lin was a Pill Refiner. What he valued most was his progress in the Alchemy Tao. As for Martial Arts, he didn’t have great ambitions, just enough to defend himself was sufficient.
Thus, the Wind-controlling Pill would be able to take Fang Lin’s self-defensive measures to the next level.
The reason for choosing the Wind-controlling Pill, apart from its medicinal properties, is because Fang Lin himself had mastered the Nine Heavens Step Skill. The two complemented each other, allowing Fang Lin to be invincible when fighting against others.
Although the Wind-controlling Pill is a first-tier pill, in reality, many Féanåro-class Pill Refiners, let alone Nerdanel-class Pill Refiners, may not necessarily have the confidence to refine it.
First of all, the White Bird Fruit, which is the most important main ingredient. Without the White Bird Fruit, the Wind-controlling Pill cannot be made.
Furthermore, a Demon Core is needed, preferably from a Tiger Demon.
Most Tiger Demons possess the power of the wind, hence their Demon Core naturally contains the power of wind control.
So, with White Bird Fruit and the Demon Core, nothing else would be an issue. As long as the Pill Refiner’s abilities are up to the mark, there won’t be a high chance of failure.
At this point, Fang Lin had everything, and his pill-making abilities were as solid as they could be. What he lacked was a Demon Core from a Tiger Demon.
Thinking of this, Fang Lin regretted it. If he had known this beforehand, he would have killed the White Tiger Demon in the Medicine-Seeking Peak and
taken its demon core.
However, having missed that opportunity, acquiring a Tiger Demon’s Demon Core would not be as easy.
Of course, he could use Demon Cores from other monsters as replacements, but they must contain the power of wind control, otherwise, it would be impossible to refine the Wind-controlling Pill.
“I guess I’ll have to wait until I get out and find a suitable Demon Core,” thought Fang Lin. He stopped worrying, now that the general plan was laid out. Once everything was ready, he could start refining the pill.
A day later, the entire Demon Suppressing Cave was livelier than usual. After all, it was the rare ‘windy day’, a chance to stretch their legs and get some fresh air.
Buzz!!!
The light curtain covering the stone chambers dissipated, and many figures emerged from the chambers, each one excitedly heading towards the central square.
Among them were Fang Lin, Wang Dalong, and others. All of them, with the exception of Fang Lin, were buzzing with excitement.
The central square was located inside the Demon Suppression Mountain, and it was extremely spacious.
There were ten passages leading to the central square. Fang Lin and his group entered from one of them. Looking around, there were many people already gathered in the square, and the mix of various noises made it quite noisy.
His eyes scanning the crowd, Fang Lin noticed the five men who had been imprisoned with him on the same day.
However, these five men looked pitiful, their bodies covered in bruises, their eyes lifeless as they clearly suffered a lot during these ten days.
Fang Lin only gave a light laugh to this. These men deserved the pitiful state they found themselves in, who asked them to falsely accuse him when they were full.
Getting fresh air was basically allowing the imprisoned disciples of the Demon Suppressing Cave to freely roam the central square.
However, to those who were confined within the Demon Suppressing Cave, being able to freely move around here for a day was already quite good. At least, they did not have to stay in the narrow and dark stone chambers.
When making arrangements, wherever there were more people, naturally there were more conflicts as well.
When four figures appeared on the square, the noise in the square suddenly went down a lot. Many faces turned to look at these four figures walking side by side, their faces full of reverence..
