Chapter 1811: Chapter 1908: I Come From the Future
On this day, the two prodigies of the Pill Saint Palace, Fang Lin and Qi Liansheng, left the Pill Saint Palace together. The former headed south, while the latter went north, each embarking on their own journey to explore the world.
Countless people from the Pill Saint Palace watched the departure of these two talents, wishing them a safe return and eagerly anticipating how much they would have grown upon their return.
Meanwhile, the hidden masters of the Pill Saint Palace also left to secretly protect Fang Lin and Qi Liansheng. However, these masters would not reveal themselves easily; they would only intervene if the two encountered an unavoidable life-and-death crisis.
Although the Pill Saint Palace does not interfere with the disciples’ life and death during their journeys, Fang Lin and Qi Liansheng are the two most promising talents of the Pill Saint Palace. Even if the Old Palace Master is unworried, the Great Elder and other high-level members are not at ease.
Therefore, secret protection is still very necessary. The Great Elder even harshly told the masters sent out that if anything happened to Fang Lin and Qi Liansheng, they need not return.
This shows how important Fang Lin and Qi Liansheng are to the Pill Saint Palace. After all, it has been years since such extraordinary talents have appeared. Now that the Pill Saint Palace has two at once, they cannot afford for anything to happen to either of them.
However, compared to Fang Lin, the high-level members of the Pill Saint Palace are more worried about Qi Liansheng.
Although both have the protection of masters from the Pill Saint Palace, Fang Lin’s background is different. If he travels, there are sure to be experts from Emperor Bai City also secretly protecting him, and given his identity, it’s unlikely anyone in the world would dare to harm Fang Lin.
"Old Shen, who do you think will be stronger when these two return?" Yan Pingshan of the Kylin Hall asked Shen Suifeng of the Azure Dragon Hall with a smile.
Fang Lin is a disciple of the Azure Dragon Hall, and thus a disciple of Shen Suifeng, while Qi Liansheng is a disciple of the Kylin Hall.
Fang Lin and Qi Liansheng have a rivalry, and similarly, Shen Suifeng and Yan Pingshan are secretly competing to see whose disciple is superior.
Shen Suifeng smiled slightly and said, "Naturally, Fang Lin will be stronger."
"Heh, how about we place a bet?" Yan Pingshan laughed.
Shen Suifeng shook his head, "I won’t bet with you, even if you lose, you’d find a hundred excuses to renege."
Yan Pingshan felt a bit embarrassed and slightly annoyed that Shen Suifeng had exposed his bluff.
Shen Suifeng chuckled, gazing into the distance, and said, "Whether it is Fang Lin or Qi Liansheng, they are the finest disciples of our Pill Saint Palace. In time, their achievements will surely surpass us old folks. I can already foresee, one of them will take the position of Palace Master, and the other will become the Great Elder. Our Pill Saint Palace will experience unprecedented prosperity."
Upon hearing this, Yan Pingshan also felt a deep emotion, a smile spreading across his face.
"With these two youngsters around, there’s no problem for our Pill Saint Palace to continue thriving for generations. Perhaps in a few hundred years, we can retire and pass the torch with peace of mind," Yan Pingshan said.
Their conversation was filled with endless imagination and anticipation for the future of the Pill Saint Palace. Unfortunately, the world is unpredictable, and fate is a trickster.
····
In the Sinking Abyss, Fang Lin stared blankly at the figure outside the array prison, completely unaware that he would meet this person so suddenly.
The visitor was none other than the Old Palace Master of the Pill Saint Palace, a senior whom Fang Lin had deeply respected in his previous life.
Fang Lin had imagined many scenarios where he would meet the Old Palace Master, but never did he think he would meet him as a prisoner.
For a moment, Fang Lin felt a bit sour, but more than anything, he felt excitement.
The Old Palace Master looked at Fang Lin inside the array prison with his gray-white eyebrows slightly furrowed, evidently puzzled by Fang Lin’s identity.
After all, Fang Lin’s appearance was vastly different from his past life due to previous damage to his lifespan, making him appear older. Although he had now broken through to Immortal cultivation and looked younger, there were few resemblances to the Fang Lin of the past.
The Old Palace Master waved his hand, and the array prison was immediately removed, leaving nothing between them as they gazed at each other.
"Are you Lin Erdan, the disciple of the White Phoenix Hall imprisoned here over a thousand years ago?" the Old Palace Master asked, having investigated these matters beforehand.
Fang Lin nodded.
With arms crossed, the Old Palace Master showed no sign of laziness, his eyes fixed on Fang Lin.
"Was it you who asked Qi Liansheng to convey the words Mountain Tu to me?" the Old Palace Master said.
Fang Lin nodded again but remained silent.
Suddenly, the Old Palace Master struck, grabbing Fang Lin’s shoulder and, without giving him a chance to react, forced Fang Lin to the ground.
"Who are you really? How do you know Mountain Tu?" the Old Palace Master shouted sternly, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.
Fang Lin did not resist and said, "I have been to the second floor of the Book Collection Tower and saw the stone-carved ancient book left by Xuanyuan Elder."
The Old Palace Master frowned immediately, a trace of anger appearing.
"Immortal cultivation? It seems you concealed your true cultivation when you joined the Pill Saint Palace, indeed harboring ulterior motives. What do you intend to do?" the Old Palace Master asked. His cultivation far surpassed Fang Lin’s, ranking him among the top experts of this era, able to easily discern Fang Lin’s current cultivation.
"I come from the future!" Fang Lin said, his tone calm and unfluctuating.
The Old Palace Master was shocked but soon thought Fang Lin was speaking nonsense.
"A great disaster is imminent! Mo Shouhe is a manifestation of the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu. Soon, it will seize the vitality of all living things on earth, leading this era to decline and ultimately perish!" Fang Lin said, at this moment without hesitation, sharing everything he knew with the Old Palace Master.
"What did you say?" The Old Palace Master finally showed some emotion, recalling what Xuanyuan Ya had told him many years ago.
"Many, many years later, someone will come with a message of despair, and he will also be the key to saving all beings. You must assist him; otherwise, all will be lost!"
This was what Xuanyuan Ya had told the Old Palace Master back then, and he had given the Old Palace Master a black jade slip, instructing him to view its contents when he met the right person at the right time.
"When the great disaster occurs, even with the Martial Lord guarding the earth, Mo Shouhe cannot be stopped. The dead will be countless, and the Pill Saint Palace will also perish in the calamity. These events will happen soon," Fang Lin said.
The Old Palace Master released Fang Lin and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you really?"
Fang Lin stood up and immediately knelt before the Old Palace Master.
"Disciple of the Pill Saint Palace, Fang Lin! Pays respect to the Palace Master!"
