Chapter 150: Chapter 150: Stomachache

Translator: 549690339

Li Chong bore an arrogant arrogance, seemingly indifferent to everyone around him.

Noticing Fang Lin hesitating behind him, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

“Even if you possess the Shaking Three Mountains, I will still step on you!” Li Chong thought to himself.

At this moment, Fang Lin did not immediately start refining pills. His face had, rather strangely, changed color.

At first, no one noticed, but soon Ouyang Jing realized something was off about Fang Lin who was not far from him.

Fang Lin was gritting his teeth, sweat beading on his forehead, showing signs of discomfort.

“shit!” Ouyang Jing thought, noticing that Fang Lin seemed unwell. If something like this happened at this time, it would be fatal.

Li family’s elder and Elder Su had also noticed Fang Lin’s situation. Elder Su furrowed his brows, looking quite surprised.

On the other hand, the Li family elder wore a smug smile – never had he expected such a pleasant surprise.

Fang Lin was in great pain now. He had a terrible stomachache.

Yes, Fang Lin had a stomachache. He felt cramps in his stomach and heard gurgling noises. Anyone would know that he was going to have diarrhea.

“Damn that wretched girl! She had to make me eat all that messy food, look what’s happened now, my stomach hurts!” Fang Lin cursed in his mind.

At the same time, Dugu Nian, with a pale face, staggered out of the latrine. After returning to her room, she soon clutched her stomach and rushed back to the latrine.

Fang Lin and Dugu Nian’s stomachaches struck at exactly the same time. Both immediately knew why – it was due to the hodgepodge eaten during their merrymaking in Qian Capital the previous night.

Ouyang Jing had not eaten any as he had always disliked such food, but Fang Lin had been egged on by Dugu Nian to try some.

He had initially believed that he wouldn’t fall ill from eating unclean food, but today, he had a stomachache.

Now, Fang Lin felt the pain increasing in his belly. He wanted to rush out to the latrine, but it was the exam time – how could they let him go to the latrine?

If anyone stepped out of the Examination Hall during this time, it would be an instant fail.

If the stomachache had been the only problem, he would have been able to tolerate it. But now, he didn’t just have a stomachache. He had a defecating urgency that could explode any moment.

Fang Lin guessed that he wouldn’t be able to hold it much longer.

Being helpless, Fang Lin yelled at the Pill Alliance Steward in front of him: “I have a stomachache, can I go to the latrine?”

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to stare at Fang Lin.

The Pill Alliance Steward’s face twitched. He had presided over many Pill Refiner examinations, but he had never encountered anyone asking to go to the latrine halfway through. This was simply absurd.

The members of the Li family broke out into peals of laughter. Everyone had seen fools but had never met such a fool. In such a solemn occasion, he actually needed to go to the latrine?

Li Chong’s eyes were full of disdain and annoyance. He looked down on Fang Lin even more, feeling that competing with such a person was demeaning.

Ouyang Jing’s face looked strange. He never imagined that Fang Lin would suffer a stomachache at this moment. Thinking about the food that Dugu Nian and Fang Lin had eaten last night, he immediately figured out the reason.

The dignified Pill Sovereign was immune to many poisons, but now his strong defenses had fallen to unclean food, causing him to have a stomachache.

There was nothing he could do, despite possessing the Earth Element realm, he was still flesh and blood. If he consumed unclean food, he would suffer from stomachache.

“Laughable…” The Li family elder sneered, his face filled with laughter.

Just as the Pill Alliance Steward was about to reprimand him, Elder Su nodded at him.

Understanding the gesture, the Steward immediately said, “Sure, but someone must accompany you.”

Fang Lin’s face lit up with pleasure upon hearing this. He immediately followed another Pill Alliance Steward to the latrine.

Before long, Fang Lin returned looking much relieved, attracting odd stares from everyone.

“Fang, are you okay now?” Ouyang Jing walked over and asked with concern.

Fang Lin nodded, indicating that he was fine now.

Back at the Pill Furnace, Fang Lin didn’t waste any time and started refining pills.

However, what he was planning to refine were not Nurturing Breath Pills, but pills tocure diarrhea.

Diarrhea was not a trivial matter. Regular people could be at risk if the diarrhea was severe.

Although Fang Lin’s condition wasn’t severe, if left untreated, it would affect his examination.

Therefore, he must refine a pill to cure his diarrhea in order to continue his examination.

Lighting the fire, adding the herbs, refining the pill…

Seeing Fang Lin hastily refining pills, everyone was taken aback. It looked like he was not refining the Nurturing Breath Pill.

“what the .... is this kid doing?” Elder Su looked puzzled. As an experienced Pill Refiner, he had no idea what Fang Lin was refining, it seemed unrelated to the Nurturing Breath Pill.

The Li family elder pondered for a moment, then guessed, “The boy might be preparing to refine a pill to treat diarrhea?”

Upon hearing this, Elder Su had no doubt that this was a reasonable assumption.

Ouyang Jing wiped the sweat off his forehead, deep in thought. Fang Lin’s exam had been a series of upheavals. He already had a tough time dealing with the Li family and as if that wasn’t enough, he suffered from diarrhea. Fang Lin seemed to have encountered all sorts of bad luck.

While Fang Lin was refining pills, he sighed quietly. The situation seemed ridiculous. As the lofty Pill Sovereign, he was forced to refine pills to treat diarrhea – how humiliating!

If it were his past life, he wouldn’t even need to consider these kinds of pills it was like killing a chicken with a butcher knife.

To speed up the process, Fang Lin used the Shaking Three Mountains. As the resounding crashes subsided, all the pill furnaces began to tremble, much to the shock of the members of the Li family.

Luckily, Fang Lin, rushing against time and facing a rumbling stomach, was unable to put out as much power in his Shaking Three Mountains as he had previously done. The pill furnaces of the Li family disciples only quivered slightly, and the Nurturing Breath Pills they were refining were not damaged.

In spite of this, the disciples of the Li family were deeply alarmed, quietly worried about Fang Lin doing it again.

A trace of wariness entered Li Chong’s eyes. Having witnessed Fang Lin casting Shaking Three Mountains, he put away his contempt for Fang Lin.

The Li family’s elder and Elder Su watched Fang Lin closely. In Elder Su’s eyes, there was a strong longing, while in the elder of the Li family, a killing intent was brewing.

After using Shaking Three Mountains, Fang Lin swallowed a refined pill, then sat cross-legged.

In no time, Fang Lin felt a heavy knot unraveling inside him, and he felt immediately relieved.

“Damn Dugu Nian, she caused my diarrhea. I am going to teach her a lesson when I get back!” Fang Lin muttered, rubbing his stomach. Not having diarrhea was indeed a good feeling.

At this moment, Fang Lin noticed that Li Chong had started refining pills, and he was incredibly swift in his actions.

Fang Lin didn’t waste any time and began refining the Nurturing Breath Pill as well.

Time was ticking. Li Chong was making fast progress. As he started to kindle the fire, Li Chong flicked his finger, causing a bunch of flames to fly out, which then enveloped the whole Pill Furnace.

Sighting this, both Elder Su and Ouyang Jing exclaimed in surprise, “Soul

Commanding Pill Flame!”
