Chapter 1807: Chapter 1904: Hope of Escape
As their eyes met, Fang Lin was stunned, while that young man looked at Fang Lin with a strange expression before walking over.
Fang Lin’s face showed surprise; he actually knew that young man very well—Qi Liansheng!
In his previous life, the only genius Pill Refiner in the entire Pill Saint Palace who could be compared to Fang Lin, once neck and neck with him, and known by many as one of the two prodigies of the Pill Saint Palace.
For a long time, Fang Lin regarded him as his greatest rival, but they also had mutual respect and good relations. There was no hostility between them even though they were competitors.
Until Fang Lin achieved the level of Martial Lord, only then did the real gap between them emerge. Qi Liansheng seemed to have been greatly affected, no longer as brilliant after Fang Lin achieved Martial Lord, and he faded away.
Fang Lin didn’t expect to see Qi Liansheng here, and such a young Qi Liansheng, probably not even sixteen years old.
"Why do I see Qi Liansheng here?" Fang Lin was a bit puzzled.
But immediately Fang Lin’s eyes lit up, and he quickly punched the array of the prison hard. The noise was substantial, which startled Qi Liansheng, who had not walked far, and he turned back to look at Fang Lin.
Fang Lin beckoned to Qi Liansheng, but the latter looked at Fang Lin cautiously and didn’t approach rashly.
Because of the array prison’s existence, Fang Lin couldn’t talk to Qi Liansheng and could only use gestures to try to make him understand what he wanted to convey.
However, Qi Liansheng couldn’t understand what Fang Lin was trying to gesture, frowned, and was about to leave again.
Seeing this, Fang Lin patted the Nine Palace Bag at his waist and took out paper and a pen.
Qi Liansheng saw that the person inside the array seemed to want to tell him something and didn’t rush to leave, instead standing at a distance and watching for a while.
Fang Lin quickly wrote down what he wanted to say on the paper and then held the paper in his hand.
"You know my name? And you want me to help you?" Qi Liansheng asked.
Being imprisoned in the array, the outside people cannot hear the voices of the prisoners inside, but those inside the prison can hear the voices of the outside.
Seeing his name written on the paper surprised Qi Liansheng; he was sure he had never met this person in prison, and he had just become a disciple of the Pill Saint Palace, with few people knowing him in the palace. How did this person know his name?
Fang Lin quickly wrote on the paper: "As long as you’re willing to help me leave this place, I’ll teach you the most top-tier Alchemy of the Pill Saint Palace."
Qi Liansheng sneered with disbelief at the words on the paper, turned, and left directly, seeming unwilling to deal with a prisoner of the Pill Saint Palace locked in an array prison.
Seeing Qi Liansheng leave, Fang Lin felt a bit helpless, wiping off the content on the paper to avoid leaving any evidence.
"If I can contact the Great Elder, the Old Palace Master, or even the Hall Master Ouyang through Qi Liansheng, I will have a chance to explain the situation and get them to release me." Fang Lin thought to himself, but it’s a pity he underestimated the situation; how could Qi Liansheng believe the words of a prisoner?
Through Qi Liansheng’s appearance, Fang Lin deduced the timing outside, and his parents should have long been born, and even he himself had likely been born for a few years in this life.𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
In Fang Lin’s previous life’s memories, when he joined the Pill Saint Palace, Qi Liansheng was already a disciple of the palace, having joined years before him.
So now that Fang Lin saw Qi Liansheng here, he could deduce many things.
After a few more days, while Fang Lin was cultivating, he saw Qi Liansheng again, who was standing outside the array prison with a hesitant look on his face.
"Can you really teach me Alchemy?" Qi Liansheng asked, his tone carrying some reluctance and doubt.
Hearing this, Fang Lin knew there was still a turning point and quickly wrote on the paper: "As long as you want to learn, I can teach you, but you also have to help me with some things."
Qi Liansheng clenched his fists and hung them on both sides of his body, his rational mind telling him not to trust this prisoner.
But Qi Liansheng was unwilling because his talent in the Alchemy Tao wasn’t outstanding. In the talent-filled Kylin Hall, his strong self-esteem made him refuse to be an unknown person, unwilling to let others overshadow him.𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
But talent can indeed dictate many things sometimes, no matter how hard Qi Liansheng worked daily at the Maplewood Alchemy Court, learning Alchemy Tao knowledge tirelessly, he couldn’t match the many geniuses in Kylin Hall.
After all, even in the same environment, there was still an innate talent gap between Qi Liansheng and those geniuses, hard to bridge with acquired efforts.
That’s why Qi Liansheng thought of Fang Lin, imprisoned in the Sinking Abyss, considering trying his luck here.
"Can you enter and leave here freely?" Fang Lin asked on the paper, knowing that not just anyone could freely enter and exit the Sinking Abyss. Yet Qi Liansheng seemed to come and go as he pleased, which was quite unusual.
Qi Liansheng said, "My grandfather, like you, is imprisoned here. The Law Enforcement Hall allows me to enter and exit the Sinking Abyss to visit my grandfather."
Hearing this, Fang Lin quietly said ’so that’s it.’ He had never known that Qi Liansheng had a grandfather imprisoned in the Sinking Abyss, and Qi Liansheng never mentioned this in his memories.
But thinking about it, Qi Liansheng probably didn’t want others to know he had a grandfather imprisoned in the Sinking Abyss, so even Fang Lin was unaware of it.
Knowing this relationship, Fang Lin worried less. He had previously worried about whether Qi Liansheng could continue to come and go from the Sinking Abyss. Without this concern, many things became easier.
"Which Alchemy would you like to learn?" Fang Lin wrote on the paper, not directly proposing that Qi Liansheng do anything for him.
Without hesitation, Qi Liansheng said, "I want to learn an Alchemy that can speed up the refining process without affecting the quality of the Pills."
Upon hearing this, Fang Lin directly wrote a Pill Refining Skill on the paper. Although it wasn’t an especially profound skill, it was very suitable for Qi Liansheng’s current level.
Having memorized the content on the paper, Qi Liansheng then asked, "What do you want me to do for you?"
Fang Lin smiled and wrote on the paper: "Wait until you have mastered this method before I tell you."
Upon hearing this, Qi Liansheng said nothing more and left directly.
After half a month, Qi Liansheng reappeared, his face showing some excitement.
