Fang Lin had no choice but to become a Second Cauldron Pill Refinery, which was a meteoric rise in status and a drastic promotion.

Previously in the Pill Sect, even though many people referred to Fang Lin as the Fifth Elite of Pill Sect, many others didn’t regard Fang Lin highly.

The reason lay in Fang Lin’s too swift rise to fame, his unstable foundation and narrow circle of contacts, and his lack of substantial support behind him.

But now it was different. Even though Fang Lin remained the same person, he now bore the true identity of a Pill Refiner, with the huge Pill Alliance as his backing.

Though Fang Lin was still a lowly disciple in the Pill Sect, everyone clearly understood that Fang Lin’s standing at the Pill Sect had surpassed that of the Four Elites of Pill Sect.

After all, although the Four Elites of Pill Sect were also Second Cauldron Pill Refiners, their Martial Arts levels were far inferior to Fang Lin’s.

Thus, upon Fang Lin’s return to the Pill Sect, many people wanted to pay him a visit, and almost everyone had brought him a generous gift.

To most people’s minds, Fang Lin’s future prospects were boundless. Now was the perfect time to build relationships with him, for fear they would lose the chance to curry favour with him as he rose even higher.

However, Fang Lin decided to close his doors to his guests, and used a sound-blocking Formation to isolate his courtyard from the outside world.

Despite these actions, those who came to offer their gifts and pay visits did not give up. They even started to wait outside Fang Lin’s courtyard.

After three people in a row were denied attendance by Fang Lin, a fraction of the people outside left, but many more were willing to wait with patience.

A unique scene emerged at the Pill Sect.

Outside Fang Lin’s courtyard, some people were meditating and cultivating,

some people brought their Pill Furnaces to refine pills, and others were dozing off or even having barbecue parties.

Every time the elders of the Pill Sect passed by, they could not help twitching at the corners of their mouths, telling those disciples to disperse.

But not long after that, they all returned, so the elders could only turn a blind eye, as long as they did nothing out of line.

Five days later, Fang Lin finally opened his door to his visitors.

However, Fang Lin only received one person at a time. Those who wanted to visit him had to line up to enter his courtyard.

Unable to do otherwise, Fang Lin didn’t want to put on airs, but if too many people crowded into his courtyard at once, the herbs in his courtyard would be trampled and ruined.

The disciples of Pill Sect who wanted to visit Fang Lin did not object either, because Fang Lin was already a Second Cauldron Pill Refiner, an identity they couldn’t casually meet with.

Not only Pill Sect disciples, but also many Martial Sect disciples came to visit him for his reputation. Fang Lin, busy meeting with these people for three consecutive days, had been smiling until his face stiffened, and various gifts piled up like a small mountain.

Three days later, no one was bothering Fang Lin anymore. Fang Lin took a quick look at the gifts people sent but didn’t care much about them. At most, he remembered the names of those who sent the gifts.

One day later, Fang Lin asked Dugu Nian to deliver some things to Lu Xiaoqing and Zhang Xiaohai.

Dugu Nian was unwilling at first, but after Fang Lin sweet-talked her, she finally agreed to run the errand.

Fang Lin had originally wanted to deliver the things himself, but he thought it might not be appropriate, so he asked Dugu Nian to deliver them instead, thereby avoiding any idle gossip.

Lu Xiaoqing and Zhang Xiaohai were still Pill Apprentices, and the annual promotion exam was approaching. Fang Lin hoped that they could become official disciples as soon as possible.

As for Fang Lin himself, he didn’t need to worry about the promotion exam because his identity as a Second Cauldron Pill Refiner exempted him from the exam, making him a mid-rank disciple directly.

If the Pill Sect didn’t have a precedent for skipping ranks, Fang Lin could probably have become a high-ranking disciple right away.

When Dugu Nian was out delivering the items, old friends like Xu Shangao, Wu Mengsheng and others came to visit Fang Lin.

They didn’t bring very valuable gifts, only some simple tokens expressing their sentiment. Chen Feng didn’t care what they brought as gifts.

After a round of pleasant conversations, Xu Shangao and others revealed their purpose for the visit soon.

As it turned out, the promotion exam was imminent, and as low-ranking disciples, they did not have much confidence, hoping Fang Lin could give them some pointers.

Fang Lin naturally did not refuse this request, as it was just a small favor to him.

Thus, Fang Lin explained some things to pay attention to during the promotion exam, bringing great benefits to Xu Shangao and others.

When Dugu Nian came back, Xu Shangao and others excused themselves. The promotion exam was imminent, and they had to devote all their time to preparation. Otherwise, they would have to remain among the low-ranking disciples for another year.

At the Purple Mist Sect, most disciples began to feel anxious and busy preparing for the promotion. Those who remained leisurely at this time could be counted on one hand, and Fang Lin was one of them.

One day, Fang Lin was soaking in a tub, his eyes closed, a blissful expression of enjoyment on his face.

Fang Lin loved this feeling, soaking in warm water, not having to think about anything, completely relaxed. If he could have a chicken leg at this moment, that would be even better.

Somehow, the more Fang Lin thought about it, the hungrier he got. After hesitating for a moment, he got up with a splash from the tub, planning to get some food.

Just as he was getting out of the tub, a loud bang sounded and the door was kicked open from outside.

“Hey, what are you doing hiding inside during the day? I have something to ask you,” Dugu Nian’s carefree voice echoed.

Immediately after that, Dugu Nian saw Fang Lin standing naked next to the tub, his face expressing astonishment.

Dugu Nian was also stunned, her mind seemed to go blank, and she even looked up and down at Fang Lin for a moment.

“Ah!” Fang Lin let out a heartrending scream, diving straight back into the tub, his face full of anger.

Dugu Nian’s face also turned red with shame, and she turned and fled.

Fang Lin was so angry, he gnashed his teeth in the tub. He had been completely seen by Dugu Nian. Thinking about it filled him with despair.

Dugu Nian stood in the courtyard, her face blushing, her breath grew restrained. The sight of Fang Lin’s naked body was unshakeable in her mind.

“Damn, damn, damn! Why doesn’t Fang Lin wear clothes when he bathes?” Dugu Nian muttered to herself.

But after she finished cursing, she felt she was being ridiculous. Who wears clothes when they bathe?

Dugu Nian didn’t know how she’d face Fang Lin in the future. Every time she saw Fang Lin, she’d probably be reminded of this embarrassingly mortifying incident.

After Fang Lin was properly dressed, he stormed out of his room, arriving to see Dugu Nian, still flushed, standing in the courtyard. His anger was boiling, and he desperately wanted to throw this damned girl out.

“Dugu Nian, today I realized you’re a pervert!” Fang Lin said grumpily.

The reason Fang Lin was so angry was that he was a man, and he had been completely exposed to Dugu Nian. What the hell was that?

At this moment, Fang Lin was filled with regret. If he had known about today, he should have sneakily peeped a few times when Dugu Nian was bathing before. Then he wouldn’t have suffered such a loss today..
