The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 712: Chapter 712: The Inexplicable Successor?

“Huh?” Fang Lin was shocked, why was the Nine Palace Bag suddenly glowing? Wasn’t it impossible to use the Nine Palace Bag within the Supreme Saint Hall?

Even that chilly voice seemed to gasp softly, seemingly very surprised.

From the Nine Palace Bag, a jade box flew out. This jade box looked very ordinary, with nothing special about it.

But this ordinary looking jade box was now emitting a gentle glow, revealing its extraordinary nature.

Fang Lin was shocked. He had almost forgotten about this jade box, but now it has unexpectedly presented itself before his eyes.

This jade box was a legacy that Fang Lin received from the Four Saints of the Pill Sect back when he was still in the Purple Mist Sect.

The Four Saints’ legacy was divided into four parts: a cauldron, a flame, a pill, and lastly, this jade box.

Be it the cauldron, the flame, or the pill, all these legacies had greatly assisted Fang Lin. Yet, since obtaining this jade box, it had not come into play. It was hidden deep within Fang Lin’s Nine Palace Bag, so much so that he had almost forgotten about it.

However, who could have expected that the jade box would suddenly emerge from the Nine Palace Bag at this very moment?

Fang Lin remembered back when he got this box, he seemed to hear a voice telling him that when his chance comes, the box would open.

“Could it be that now is the time for this jade box to open?” Fang Lin was surprised, he never expected the jade box to open at this time.

“What is this object that it can violate the rules of the Supreme Saint Hall?” The icy voice echoed, sounding astonished.

The Supreme Saint Hall has rules laid down by the Martial Lord Mo Shouhe. Even if these rules are only a seemingly insignificant portion of Mo Shouhe’s power, they are unimaginable for later generations.

But this jade box could ignore the rules of the Supreme Saint Hall and emerge from the Nine Palace Bag. This directly confirmed that the jade box was definitely extraordinary.

Fang Lin reached out to receive the jade box. The moment he held it, it felt as warm and gentle as holding a warm jade.

Immediately, Fang Lin took a deep breath and slowly opened the jade box. A brilliant light spread out, so bright that Fang Lin could barely keep his eyes open.

“How can this be?” Before Fang Lin could see clearly what was inside the jade box, the always cold voice seemed some loss of composure as if it has just seen something unimaginable.

Fang Lin quickly looked into the jade box, only to find nothing unusual, just a small ring that was pitch-black, without a hint of beauty, it could even be described as really ugly.

Fang Lin stared at it for quite a while before recognizing it as a ring.

“What’s this thing?” Fang Lin was baffled. He picked up the black ring. It was surprisingly light as though it had no weight and didn’t emit any aura.

Fang Lin frowned, the jade box unexpectedly contained an ordinary-looking black iron ring. What was going on? Had he been fooled by the Four Saints of the Pill Sect? Was this a useless item?

But that didn’t make sense either. If it was just an ordinary object, it wouldn’t stir such a big reaction from the icy voice—it acted as if it had seen a ghost.

“How do you have this ring?” The voice sounded again, even hinting a certain amount of urgency, as if it was anxious to know the answer from Fang Lin.

Fang Lin looked puzzled: “I found it.”

“Nonsense! How can you find such an object?” The voice immediately rebuked.

Fang Lin mumbled to himself: “You haven’t even told me what this thing is? How can I tell you where I found it?”

The voice fell silent for a moment, then spoke again in a stunned tone: “This is one of the twelve objects that belonged to the first group of powerful beings who ventured from the Supreme Saint Hall.”

Upon hearing these words, Fang Lin’s eyes widened in confusion. This ring, that had no feature whatsoever, has such a big history? It belonged to the first group of people who ventured from the Supreme Saint Hall? And there were twelve of these rings?

Fang Lin couldn’t help but question the taste of the powerful beings who ventured from the Supreme Saint Hall years ago. Who came up with this ugly ring? Couldn’t it be made to look more pleasing?

“Does this ring have any significance? If I put it on, can I become the owner of the Supreme Saint Hall and also receive a bunch of treasures or a powerful legacy?” Fang Lin eagerly asked.

The voice fell silent again, then spoke in a strange tone: “The inheritor of the ring is entitled to directly participate in the Inheritor’s Test. If you pass, you will not only become the master of the Supreme Saint Hall, but also receive one of the Supreme Incomplete Scrolls.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Lin didn’t show any excitement. Instead, his face turned grim.

He couldn’t even handle the test here, and now the Inheritor’s Test came up. Wasn’t this looking for trouble?

Seeing Fang Lin’s bitter expression, the voice said in annoyance, “This ring represents honor and pride. Being able to have this ring means you are destined to be with the Supreme Saint Hall. This is a great opportunity for you!”

Fang Lin twitched at the corner of his mouth: “I just want to ask, is the Inheritor’s Test many times harder than the current test?”

“I’m not sure. Every inheritor’s test is different. Some have completed their test in a moment, while others have struggled for a thousand years and still failed.” The voice replied, sounding a bit strange.

“I see.” Fang Lin frowned, pondering whether or not to participate in this so-called Inheritor’s Test.

“By the way, what is the Supreme Incomplete Scroll?” Fang Lin asked again, feeling that it sounded really important.

“There are twelve pieces of the incomplete scroll. If you can get all of them, you will know what it is.” The voice only told Fang Lin this and didn’t say much else.

Fang Lin seemed to realize something and asked in surprise: “Are the twelve pieces of the incomplete scroll all here?”

“Only one piece is here. The other eleven pieces, perhaps, have not been obtained by anyone, or may have fallen into the hands of other inheritors.” The voice answered.

When Fang Lin heard this, he thought to himself that he had become a so-called inheritor so unexpectedly. There must be other inheritors as well, and he wasn’t the only special one.

With this thought, Fang Lin felt quite relieved. Since others could become inheritors, why couldn’t he?

Besides, the so-called Inheritor’s Test wasn’t set in stone. If he happened upon a less challenging test due to his good luck, wouldn’t that be a good deal?

“Then I will take the Inheritor’s Test,” Fang Lin declared immediately.

“You can, but be prepared. If you fail, you will be expelled directly.” The voice warned Fang Lin.
