Chapter 336: Chapter 336: The Existence of Soul Nourishment Pill

“How about it? I’ve refined the pill formula you gave me,” Fang Lin declared with a smile.

Fu Haixin snorted, “I admit, you are extraordinary. I underestimated you. But according to our bet, you must refine the Soul Nourishment Pill you mentioned. Only then can you claim victory.”

“Indeed, if only the Controlling People Pill is present, this bet would be lost by you, Fang Lin.” Gong Wuliang nodded in agreement from the side.

Fang Lin smirked, “Don’t be impatient, you’ll see soon.”

He then reached with his other hand to lift the lid of the Pill Furnace.

A plume of white smoke rose once more, accompanied by a tempting smell. Many on the scene inhaled deeply a few times, feeling much calmer.

“This is the Soul Nourishment Pill you knew nothing about!” Fang Lin held up three round pills that cast a purplish hue from the Pill Furnace.

Fu Haixin frowned and scoffed, “You say it’s the Soul Nourishment Pill, but I refuse to believe that unless you can prove its medicinal properties.”

Hearing her words, Fang Lin showed no surprise. It was as if he had anticipated she would say this.

“Then, may I ask Miss Fu if she is brave enough to try one?” Fang Lin asked with a smirk, even having the audacity to challenge her.

Fu Haixin was taken aback. She didn’t expect Fang Lin would ask her to try this so-called Soul Nourishment Pill.

Gong Wuliang furrowed his brow, speaking tersely, “Fang Lin, if this pill is to be consumed, you should be the one. How do we know you’re not using some poison pill to harm my disciple?”

With a disdainful look, Fang Lin retorted, “Of course, I could take it. But I wonder, Palace Master Gong, do you dare to take it in place of your disciple?”

At his words, Gong Wuliang gave a slight start, reluctant to try such an obscure pill.

However, he dared not let Fu Haixin take it either. If something happened to her after ingesting it, he wouldn’t be able to explain it to the Pill Alliance of Ling Country.

Hearing Gong Wuliang’s hesitations, Fu Haixin declared, “As long as you, Fang Lin, take one. I will, too.”

Fang Lin took a deep look at her and presented her with a Soul Nourishment Pill.

Accepting the pill, anxiety and tension flashed across Fu Haixin’s face.

“Haixin, let me do it instead.” Gong Wuliang gritted his teeth and suggested. He believed with his higher realm, he should be fine even if the pill was suspicious. If Fu Haixin was poisoned to death, he would deeply regret it.

Fu Haixin, however, refused. As a Pill Refiner, if she didn’t even have the bravery to test the pill, then how could she continue refining pills?

So, Fu Haixin took the Soul Nourishment Pill, and then looked at Fang Lin.

The two exchanged glances. With a slight smile, Fang Lin swallowed the pill.

Upon seeing this, Fu Haixin breathed a small sigh of relief. However, with a complex expression, she swallowed her pill.

At this moment, everyone from the Purple Mist Sect and Ten-thousand Medicine Sect anxiously watched the two. However, the two engaged seemed astonishingly calm.

Not long after, Fang Lin sat down cross-legged, closing his eyes in silent meditation.

Fu Haixin too, after a while, exhibited a hint of surprise on her face before sitting down.

“What… What happened?” Someone asked in confusion.

No one answered him. Everyone was quite puzzled, but clearly both Fang Lin and Fu Haixin were fine. All they could do was continue waiting.

About the time it would take to burn an incense stick, Fang Lin stood up, looking as calm as ever, disregarding the astonished stares from the crowd. He quietly looked at Fu Haixin.

After a while, Fu Haixin also got up, her face incredibly complex. She lowered her head, unwilling to meet Fang Lin’s gaze.

“Haixin, how is that pill?” Gong Wuliang asked anxiously, noticing Fu Haixin’s countenance. His uneasy premonition was getting stronger.

Fu Haixin struggled to find words. She didn’t know how to express herself, nor did she possess the courage to do so.

Because she knew, she had lost!

Even without the thunderous boom of the Pill Furnace, she had lost!

The Soul Nourishment Pill was real!

After taking the Soul Nourishment Pill, Fu Haixin immediately felt a stream of clear energy within her body. She felt relaxed from her head to her toes. In her daze, Fu Haixin felt her soul had separated from her body, floating in mid-air.

Nobody around her could see her, except for Fang Lin, who was also floating in the air.

At that moment, Fu Haixin knew that the Soul Nourishment Pill truly existed, and her soul had indeed been nourished.

Even though she found it incredulous and hard to accept, it was the undeniable truth. No matter how embarrassing this defeat was for Fu Haixin, she knew she had to accept it.

“I… I lost. The Soul Nourishment Pill is real.” Fu Haixin admitted. She didn’t know where she found the courage to utter those words. After she finished, it seemed as if all her strength had left her body.

The members of the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect stood there in shock, as if they had been struck hard.

Gong Wuliang was stunned, his mouth agape as he seemed to age a decade in an instant.

“How… How could this happen?” Gong Wuliang stammered with a cry in his voice.

Fu Haixin bit her lower lip. She too was having a hard time accepting this truth, but the changes occurring deep within her soul were terrifyingly real and impossible to ignore.

The Soul Nourishment Pill was real!

She, Fu Haixin, had been too ignorant and shortsighted, stubbornly refusing to believe anything she didn’t know about could exist. Her thinking had been foolish.

Compared to the shocked and incredulous members of the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect, those from Purple Mist Sect breathed a sigh of relief. Many disciples even started cheering.

They won! Fang Lin had defeated the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect once again!

This victory was even purer, entirely based on the profound strength of Alchemy Tao, defeating Fu Haixin and the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect.

The Sect had specifically invited the genius Fu Haixin from Ling Country to counter Fang Lin.

But surprisingly, Fu Haixin had lost without even touching the Pill Furnace. The defeat was too much for the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect to accept.

Fu Haixin herself found it hard to accept, let alone the others.

At this moment, Fu Haixin felt dizzy as she recalled the terms of her bet with Fang Lin.

Guarding the gate!

Just thinking about having to guard the gate of the Purple Mist Sect made Fu Haixin feel like dying. She had fallen big this time, falling miserably.

“No! Something must be wrong! Fang Lin, you cheated! There’s no way Haixin could have lost!” Gong Wuliang suddenly roared out, his expression twisted and crazed.

How could he not become mad? After so much difficulty in inviting Fu Haixin as a countermeasure and a chance to retrieve the Nine Treasure Luminous Cauldron.

But nobody could have expected, even Fu Haixin would lose, something Gong Wuliang hadn’t considered in his calculations.
