Fang Lin spoke with assurance, Han Yinyue listened attentively, with a thoughtful expression on her face.

Meng Wuyou on the side widened his eyes, looking at Fang Lin with surprise.

Meng Wuyou felt mixed emotions. While he was still considering a solution, Fang Lin had already explained everything clearly. How was he supposed to continue being an elder?

But Meng Wuyou didn't care too much. Instead, he was very pleased. The more outstanding Fang Lin's performance, the more it proved his judgment was accurate.

After Fang Lin finished speaking, Han Yinyue nodded slightly and gripped the Snow Frost Pill Formula tighter in her hand.

“Today, I've truly benefited greatly from your words, Fang,” Han Yinyue said to Fang Lin, her tone carrying a hint of gratitude.

Fang Lin laughed, saying, “These are just my personal thoughts. There may be other solutions too.”

Han Yinyue nodded, didn't stay longer, and turned to leave. Only when Han Yinyue had left did Meng Wuyou let out a long sigh.

“Why did you sigh, elder?” Fang Lin asked.

Meng Wuyou looked at Fang Lin and shook his head, saying, 'You don't know this. The Sect Master has two daughters. Miss Han is the eldest daughter, and she has a younger sister named Han Xiaoxing. If Miss Han is asking you this question, the person poisoned by fire should be her sister, Han Xiaoxing.”

Hearing this, Fang Lin was rather surprised. So, Han Yinyue had come here in search of a pill formula for her sister.

“Since the Sect Master's daughter suffered from fire poisoning, with the Sect Master's ability, it should have been resolved easily. Why did Miss Han have to come here in search of the pill formula for treatment?” Fang Lin asked.

Meng Wuyou shook his head and said, “The Sect Master's daughters – Miss Yinyue was born with wasted veins and unable to cultivate. However, the younger Miss Xiaoxing who can cultivate has been blind since birth, with a stubborn character. She often ventures out of the Purple Mist Sect without permission and returns severely injured. Fearful of notifying the Sect Master, she would ask Miss Yinyue to heal her.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Lin was left speechless. The two daughters of the Purple Mist Sect Master were indeed tragic.

No wonder when Fang Lin saw Han Yinyue earlier, although her face was fair, it showed a faint hint of sickness. She was born with wasted veins and could not cultivate.

People born with damaged veins lack inner strength even more deficient than ordinary people.

The eldest daughter was already pitiful enough, and the situation of the second daughter was even worse. Even though she could cultivate, she was born blind. Fang Lin could imagine why Han Xiaoxing was so stubborn. She must despise her fate.

“Alas, although Miss Han cannot cultivate, she is exceptionally talented and has an eidetic memory. Her understanding of martial arts and alchemy is far above average and her mastery in alchemy alone could qualify her as a true disciple. However, she lacks inner strength and her physical constitution is weak, rendering her incapable of refining pills,” Meng Wuyou said regretfully.

“And what about the second Miss Han?” Fang Lin asked curiously.

Meng Wuyou said, “Although Miss Han Xiaoxing is blind, she has unparalleled talent in martial arts. She can identify her surroundings by the sound of the wind and has already stepped foot into the realm of Earth Element.”

Hearing this, Fang Lin was dumbfounded. The two daughters of the Han family were indeed extraordinary. Despite their inherent defects, they still showed exceptional qualities. If they didn't have those defects, they could have become soaring phoenixes.

“Alas, what sort of sin did our Sect Master commit to have two such miserable daughters,” Fang Lin couldn't help but exclaim.

Upon hearing these words, Meng Wuyou slapped Fang Lin on the back of his head and said angrily, “How dare you gossip about the Sect Master? You've shown no respect for her. It's all right for me to hear these words, but if anyone else were to hear this, you'd be in trouble.”

Fang Lin grinned. He knew Meng Wuyou held him in high regard, so he didn't say anything more.

“By the way, I haven't asked you why you are here? Shouldn't you be at the Lecturing Hall now?” Meng Wuyou asked with a frown.

Fang Lin smirked and said, “I just didn't find it interesting, so I left.”

Meng Wuyou was left speechless. If anyone else had said this, he would've grabbed them by the collar and tossed them back into the Lecturing Hall.

“Well, would you like to enter the Pill Formula Palace?” Meng Wuyou asked.

Fang Lin was initially thinking of refusing, but now he really didn't have anything else to do, so why not?

He nodded.

Meng Wuyou said, “Normally a person with your status wouldn't be able to enter the Pill Formula Palace. But as long as I'm here, you can wander around freely. However, you can't go to the second floor. You may look at any pill formula on the first floor, but you are not allowed to take them out.”

“I understand,” Fang Lin said.

The array didn't stop Meng Wuyou, so Fang Lin followed closely behind him into the Pill Formula Palace.

In the Pill Formula Palace, numerous green bamboo tubes hung tightly together. Each bamboo tube was adorned with a piece of paper indicating which pill formula was stored inside.

Looking around, there were nearly a thousand bamboo tubes on this level alone, which was quite overwhelming on the eyes.

These pill formulas were categorized and arranged by type, so despite their large number, they didn't appear chaotic and were very orderly.

Fang Lin had an innate curiosity towards pill formulas, so without regard for Meng Wuyou's presence, he directly picked up two bamboo tubes to inspect.

After sweeping over the content inside the bamboo tubes, Fang Lin returned them to their origin and proceeded to look at the others.

Seeing that Fang Lin was making himself at home, Meng Wuyou shook his head and laughed. He made no move to stop Fang Lin and just stood there waiting.

Fang Lin was fast in reading. He put back almost all of the bamboo tubes he took with just a sweeping glance.

Seeing how quickly Fang Lin was going through them, Meng Wuyou furrowed his eyebrows, asking, “Are you able to remember them like this?” Without looking back, Fang Lin answered, “There's no need to remember.”

Meng Wuyou was caught off-guard and could only watch Fang Lin with a strange look.

Suddenly Fang Lin stood still, the pill formula in his hand wasn't put back right away. Instead, he furrowed his brows.

“What's wrong?” Seeing Fang Lin stop abruptly, Meng Wuyou also asked.

Fang Lin hesitated for a moment, then said, “There's a problem with this pill formula.”

Upon hearing this, Meng Wuyou was startled and blurted, “How is that possible?”

No wonder Meng Wuyou's first reaction was disbelief. All the pill formulas in the Pill Formula Palace were accumulated and organized by generations of the Pill Sect. All pill formulas that were placed in the Pill Formula Palace were verified by numerous Pill Refiners from the Pill Sect. There was no room for errors.

However, Fang Lin claimed that there was a problem with this pill formula. No matter who heard this, they would find it hilariously absurd, thinking that Fang Lin had fallen into confusion.

Fang Lin waved the pill formula in his hand, saying, “This Purple Heart Pill formula is problematic. It lacks Dragon Sunflower Grass and has an excess of

Hemp Snake Vine.”

Having said that, he threw the Purple Heart Pill formula on the ground.

“Even the formula gets messed up, this Purple Heart Pill formula isn't worth a penny,” Fang Lin stated emotionlessly..
